Find Your Strength
By:Aaron Potts
As Dr. John Hagelin says in the amazing movie ‘The Secret’, “You can have, do, or be ANYTHING”. Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith backs him up in the same movie when he says, “You could start with nothing, and out of nothing, and out of no way - a way will be made”.
These are powerful statements and they are 100% true and accurate. The question then becomes, “How do you invoke this amazing ability”?
There are many books, products, and services available in the world that can teach you the actual methods for using the Law of Attraction in order to get what you want out of life, and many of them come highly recommended. However, they all start with one very simple yet powerful question that you have to be able to answer in order to properly utilize them. That question, simply put, is “What do you want”?
You could have a blank check in your hand that you could fill in for any amount of money in the world in order to assist you to find happiness, but if you don’t know – specifically – what it is that you want out of life, no amount of training and no amount of money will help you to get it. You have to first ask yourself what it is that you want, and also dig deep down inside in order to find out WHY you want it.
The “why” part of our desires is the most critical factor in this equation, and it is also the factor that is most commonly overlooked. Not understanding exactly what we want and why we want it is one of the biggest reasons why so many people are not happy or as satisfied with their lives as they would like to be.
Finding your Strength is just another way of realizing that you need to find your true motivations in life. If you are truly motivated about your life, then you will find the strength and the means to do whatever it is that you are trying to do. On the other hand, if you are not clear on why you want any given thing, then your motivation will be minimal, as will the results of your efforts to attain the objects of your desire.
If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, then you know that the basic principle is that when you focus your thoughts and your feelings on what you desire, then that thing will come into your life. This applies to material goods such as cars and houses, but it also applies to less tangible desires such as enjoyable long-term relationships, inner-peace, weight loss, financial status, etc.
In order to bring those things into your life, you simply need to focus on why you want them, and believe that you will get them. The Law of Attraction – which is a scientifically proven principle – will bring those things to you. However, there is another side to this equation that you can use to create powerful “why” reasons for having those things to begin with.
It is easy enough to think about how great it would be to have a really nice car, a huge house, a significant other that is all that you have ever dreamed of, or to simply have enough money to truly enjoy your life. An equally powerful tool at your disposal, however, is to think about what it is like to NOT have those things. I’m not talking about focusing on the negative fact that you don’t have them – that is clearly against the “rules”. However, in order to empower yourself to realize why you want those things to begin with, consider what it is like to NOT have them.
Is your car old and beat up, keeps breaking down, and you are ashamed to be seen out in public driving it? Are you embarrassed to have guests in your home because it is old, too small, or in a bad part of town? Do you frequently think about how you can’t find the perfect girl or the perfect guy? Are you tired of creditors and bill collectors calling your home, or do you find yourself just “getting by” in life because you barely have enough money?
Obviously the answers to those types of questions will invoke a negative reaction on your part, and it is unlikely that you relish the idea of spending even another day thinking those types of thoughts, let alone another decade, or another 60 or 70 years.
So, although the majority of your time should be spent focusing on the positive aspects of actually having the things that you want, you should start out that process by considering how you would feel if you were going to have to continue to be unhappy by NOT having them.
How would you feel if you were stuck with your old piece of junk car indefinitely, and you could never have a nice sports car, or a fancy BMW, or a Mercedes? What would you think about being doomed to live in a small home or apartment for the rest of your life, visiting other people’s mansions and knowing that you could never live in such splendor? How would it make you feel to know that every relationship in your life was always going to be “sub-standard”, and you would never find the person who looked or acted like your “dream mate”? Consider what it would be like to fight off bill collectors for the rest of your life, and to never be able to travel, buy nice things, and live a life of happiness and abundance.
By now you should be starting to see the point of this exercise. In order to find the Strength needed to motivate yourself to invoke the Law of Attraction and bring into your life all that you desire, you simply need to consider what it would be like to live the rest of your days WITHOUT those things. Then, once you are fueled by an intense understanding of why it is that you want whatever it is that you want out of life, you will be prepared to start the positive process of utilizing the Law of Attraction to bring those things straight to you, every time, without fail.
Find your Strength today. When you truly understand what you want and why you want it, then simply focus on that, believe that you will have it, and it will come to you. Guaranteed.

Each morning of each Journey to Center week, before our breathing and meditation session at 7, I always hike to the top of this small mountain to be inspired by the view of a much higher mountain range in the distance.

Successful people are also disappointed and affected by setbacks, and certainly get knocked down more often than most, if only because they try more things.
