I think it's safe to assume that "normal" people want to be happy. We want to be around happy people, in happy environments, feeling good and doing things that make us happy. So, if happiness (and happy experiences) is our goal, what can we do to reach that goal? If happiness is a common goal ...
Affirmations are simply positive, or affirmative, statements of truth. The tricky part is that the truth of the affirmation need not be a "present reality;" it can be a future reality you truly wish to create. By declaring this future reality in positive, definite terms, you are tasking your ...
Prayer is something people do to ask for, or give thanks for, a desire or a desired or favorable change. There are many different ways to pray; but they all involve thinking about what you want. People using the Law of Attraction are doing the same thing; they're thinking about a desire, or a ...
For every formed thing in this Universe, there is a "mental equivalent." Mental Equivalents are simply the mental images, or mental versions, of our desires; they are the thoughts and images from which we build our desires - or with which we find our desires. For everything you wish to ...
Recently, in response to an article I had written on Forgiveness, I was contacted by a person who said, "Physiologically, the brain can't forget; I'd like to forgive, but how can I forget what was done to a young child? How can I forget that trauma when I am alone at night in the dark...?" ...
No matter what you're looking for in this world, or in this lifetime, chances are that the underlying reason you're looking for it is so you can be happier than you are now. Think about it for a second; you certainly don't want more money and better health so you can be miserable. Likewise, if ...
Oprah recently featured Dr. Oz and several people with obsessive-compulsive disorders, or OCD’s, and their trip to “OCD Boot Camp,” where they spent 72-hours facing their fears and learning to overcome their programmed-responses to those fears and worries. In just 72-hours, ...
Innovation means progress, new visions and ideas -- moving forward. Forward progress is essential in life and business; we call it, "Success." If you aren't moving, you're stuck; and if you aren't growing, you're dying. But forward progress also means leaving things behind and moving on; ...
Oprah recently re-aired a show featuring The Secret, and guests: Louise Hay, Cheryl Richardson, and Martha Beck - each offering their perspectives on the best-selling book by Rhonda Byrne and The Law of Attraction.

Many of you have already figured it out; television creates stress – period. Commercial television is designed and intended to create stress for the simple reason that stressed-out people buy things to sedate or distract themselves – or to solve the problems the television tells them ...
Most people have figured out by now that medicine does not cure disease. Medicine isn't necessarily bad; it just isn't necessary.

The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet recently featured a segment on the HCG Diet – which involves injections of HCG (Human ChorioGonadotropin) Hormone and a 500-calorie per day diet regimen. As with any diet plan, there were experts on both sides of the issue; and, as with any diet ...
It is estimated that approximately 40% of all airline travelers experience some degree of fear of flying – or some other fear related to flying. With almost 3-billion people flying each year, that’s a lot of anxious travelers! And, considering that about 40% of all air travel is ...
The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet dedicated its Thursday, June 19, 2008 show to the fight against cellulite – the lumpy fat cells that look like “cottage-cheese” under the skin. Cellulite is believed to affect up to 90% of the female population; and a large number of men ...
We commonly refer to sense, senses, or sensation, in the context of sight, hearing, touch, etc. We also use the word sense in reference to intelligence or logic. The fact is that the ears, eyes, nose, skin, and mouth/tongue, are not senses - they are "antennae," or receptors, that pick up ...
The Placebo Effect A line from a famous song reassures us that, "A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down...in the most delightful way." But could the sugar itself be the medicine? Placebo studies show us that "a spoon full of sugar," and a little faith, could be as real a cure as any ...
If you’re afraid of flying, you don’t need me to tell you about the uncomfortable, negative effects this fear can cause. And, if you are a business traveler who is afraid of flying – but must fly anyway – you probably understand the burden and the very real cost of coping ...

We have all heard sayings like, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade;" but what if you don't like lemonade? The obvious answer is, "Sell the lemonade and buy something you DO like with your profits." But that doesn't work if you're stuck whining about the lemons. To move forward in ...
In life, your job is to enjoy your experience. Sometimes that means doing the best you can under any number of circumstances; but it always means doing your part. If, for some reason, you find that you are not enjoying your experience, it is up to you to take steps to change your ...
Everyone wants to lose weight, it seems; but, based on statistics, nobody seems to know how to do it. Over two-thirds of all Americans are overweight; and over 100-millio Americans - one-third of the population - is actually considered, "obese." The only thing growing faster tha America's ...
Recently, in response to an article I had written on Forgiveness, I was contacted by a person who said, "Physiologically, the brain can't forget; I'd like to forgive, but how can I forget what was done to a young child? How can I forget that trauma when I am alone at night in the dark...?" ...
Life should be simple. Period. There were people living here -- and thriving -- long before complicated medical problems and advanced technologies. It seems obvious that, as times and people changed, we became less and less active -- becoming more and more overweight. This isn't necessarily ...
In the mid-nineties, Gary Craig created the Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT. EFT is based on the work of Dr. Roger Callahan, and is essentially a greatly simplified version of TFT, or Thought-Field Therapy. EFT isn’t really “better” tha TFT; it’s simply more ...
What do you think happens when you hate your job, or your spouse, or your kids, or your house? Did you know you get sick - literally? It's true; and it always has been. In fact, your emotions are simply a signal to you that your body is not where it wants to be, or where you want it to be. If ...
Everyone knows that a human cannot live without water; but is water a miracle drug? Many health care professionals would say that it is. Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of The Messages From Water series of books, would certainly support the age-old practices of priests in many religions of imparting ...
In the drive to success, it can be easy to forget your purpose. We seem to get so wrapped-up in keeping-up that we forget the real reason for waking-up. Life has only one purpose; and that purpose is LIFE. In life, we can choose between progress and stagnation, peace and war; and we can choose ...
One of the best ways to gain weight and keep it is to think that you’re overweight. Unless you love the thought of being overweight, simply thinking that you’re too fat, or too heavy, is enough to activate your stress response. And stress, as you probably already know, is what really ...
Understanding “who” and “what” you are is one of the prerequisites for finding balance, peace, happiness, and control in your life. For example, until you know what a car is, and have some idea about how it operates, you are more of a danger than you are in control. Your ...
There are many paths to happiness; and if you have found one that works, you have most likely found your own "right" path. But, if you are still seeking happiness, there are certain elements of thought, word, and action, anyone can cultivate, nurture, or develop in order to create a life of ...
With so many marriages ending in divorce, it is hard to believe all those people actually made an effort to repair their situations and learn about marriage - and their partner. I have observed, and found in my own, personal experience, that a little effort can go a long way when it comes to any ...
Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is essentially the “unimpeded flow of life-energy,” or spirit, through us – through our bodies and life experiences. We have to learn, or be conditioned, to resist the flow of life and happiness. In other words, if we didn’t have ...
It isn’t always easy to be different; yet, if you want to be innovative, you’ve got to break with trends, traditions, and even your own habits. There’s no way around this; innovators are bringers of new things – not old things. New means change; change means different. ...
The Secret, or The Law of Attraction, isn't "magic." It isn't really even a "thing." The Law of Attraction is simply a way of talking about or describing how things seem to come together, or manifest into form from the world of the un-formed. The Law of Attraction is a law, not a tool; it ...
The key to innovation, invention, and any kind of success is in thinking clearly and effectively when faced with a problem, or a situation requiring a decision or resolution.

Imagine the most complicated piece of technology you can think of. Maybe you're thinking of a computer or some advanced weapons or medical technology, or something along those lines. Now imagine that I told you to fix one of those things you're imagining - without tools or instruction. You'd be ...
When asked how he came up with his Theory of Gravity, Sir Isaac Newton replied, “I thought about it all the time.” I suppose if he had been more distracted, those ideas would have landed on someone else, or we wouldn’t have done all the things we have done based on ...
Anyone who watches Oprah is familiar with The Secret - a popular book about the Law of Attraction. But many people are frustrated because, though they've read the book - and want their lives to be different - they just can't seem to make The Secret work for them. Well, the Law of Attraction ...
Do you want to create something new, or perhaps change part of your life? Consider that, whatsoever you desire can be yours if you ask for it believing that you already have it - even if it doesn't exist yet. In other words, if you think about a thing in such a way that you truly FEEL grateful ...
Visualization, meditation, prayer, hypnosis, self-hypnosis, guided meditation, mental imagery, and many other terms, are all used to describe one thing - thinking. Particularly, these terms all refer to an act of "tuning-out" the exte al world and going inside your self in order to "speak" and ...
The Secret isn't a new idea; and it isn't really a secret. Everyone knows this: "As a man thinketh, so it is done to him." In every religion, culture, and philosophy, this is a fundamental truth; and, even science has come full-circle in its understanding of what they call, "the Observer ...
Failure is not an option; it’s a judgment and a misunderstanding of where you are and what’s going on. Failure is simply what you have labeled a very necessary part of a very necessary process. And, failure can also be an idea used as an excuse to discontinue efforts or activities in ...
You can be, do, or have anything you want. Whether you want peace and seclusion, or fortune and fame, you can have it - if you know how to get it. The good news is that there are only two simple things you need to know. The bad news is that, no matter how simple, this wisdom will continue to ...
Attractiveness has much less to do with beauty than you might think. After all, wouldn’t you rather be around a nice person than a pretty person that treated you poorly? “Love” and all its attributes – kindness, compassion, faith, gratitude, joy, etc – is the only ...
If you think your prayers are answered sometimes, and not answered at other times, or that the answer to prayers is sometimes, "Yes," sometimes, "No," and sometimes, "Maybe," then you need to consider at least one other possibility. Maybe you just don't always pray effectively. Maybe there's ...
The Law of Attraction isn’t a tool, or a process; it’s simply an observation of how things seem to group themselves together in this Universe. If you understand the principles of The Law of Attraction, but can’t seem to get what you want, you probably just need a process ...
Prayer is thought; more specifically, it is focused, intentional thought based on a desire – to be, do, have, or change something or some experience. All thoughts create some sort of emotional response; some people call this emotional excitation, “vibrations,” or ...
