The #1 Key to Living a Successful and Rewarding Life
Someone asked me recently that if I could teach my readers only one thing about how to live a successful and rewarding life, what exactly would that be? I have to admit that, at the time, I was caught a little off-guard, but as I began to ponder this question, I started to relate it back to my own children. If I could transfer (and make stick) just one tiny snippet of wisdom, one that they could fully grasp and one that would have the most profound impact on their futures, exactly what would I choose?
The more I thought about it, the more obvious the answer became. Regardless of what we dream of accomplishing in life, be it wanting to achieve perfect health, unlimited wealth or attracting the perfect mate, the key to achieving any of our heart’s desires is in fully comprehending the meaning behind this one simple statement:
“Make it a habit to feel great!”
Now, I realize that, to many of you, this may sound like a gross oversimplification of reality, but if you truly understand the concept behind this statement, you should soon come to realize just how valuable this piece of advice is.
Whether you like it or not and whether you believe it or not, the Laws of the Universe ensure that you attract what you think about into your life. It makes no difference to the Universe whether you actually want what you think about or not, the mere thoughts alone will attract them into your experience and the intensity of your emotions will help to determine the speed at which they are brought about.
You can try to deny the reality of these statements all you like, but doing so will not disprove any of these Laws. It will only serve to hinder your ability to master them. If you still have a hard time accepting these truths, the proof is readily available. All it takes is a little bit of research. Quantum physicists and other scientists are increasingly supporting and verifying their validity. These Laws are real and they are constantly in effect, 24 hours a day.
Now, suppose you’re talking to a friend who staunchly denies the existence of these Laws. It is important to then simply ask yourself just how happy this person is. Chances are great, that if he’s constantly disputing the Laws, he’s a lot less likely to be applying them successfully himself and hence not living anywhere near as fulfilling a life as he could be, but don’t make the mistake of letting him keep you from living a fulfilling life of your own.
This is why is it so absolutely crucial that you learn to take control of your thoughts and focus on things that are pleasing to you, that is, things that you want to attract into your life. Also, it is equally important that you focus on having an abundance of these things (evoking positive emotion) as opposed to focusing on the lack of these things (which would evoke negative emotion).
You can use your emotions as your guide. If you are in a positive state of mind, just know that you are currently attracting what you desire, but if you find yourself in a negative state of mind, then you can be assured you are attracting things that you do not want. This is why it is so vital to remain in control of your emotions and ensure that you feel great as often as is humanly possible.
Most people are convinced that their emotions are dependent on the people and the environment around them, but nothing could be further from the truth. You always have the ability to choose how you react to external stimuli. Your subconscious may offer up various automatic emotions in reaction to the world around you, but you ultimately, and without exception, have the ability to choose a better, more beneficial emotion, in any situation. I’m not saying it is always easy to do so, at times it can be incredibly difficult, but I cannot stress enough, just how important this is. If you’re unable to see the bright side of a particular situation, then simply acknowledge your feeling and then change your focus to a more pleasant experience. 
The good news is that the more you practise this, the easier it becomes. By keeping tabs on your emotions and constantly working to improve your state of mind, you will become more and more adept at maintaining a positive frame of mind, resulting in an upward spiral towards ultimate bliss and the fulfillment of your desires.
So, do more of what you love, appreciate what you already have and be grateful in advance for the wonderful life that lies ahead of you. Sit down and write out everything you want in life and focus on the things that are most important to you. Then, imagine you’ve already acquired or achieved these things, several times a day if at all possible. Your subconscious mind cannot differentiate that which is experienced versus that which is imagined. So, by bombarding your subconscious with positive images/experiences, you will gra
dually attract more and more of the things you love and less and less of the things you don’t. You are in complete control of your destiny…and now you hold the key.
“So, make it a habit to feel great!”
That is what I would tell my readers. That is what I do tell my children and that is what I would be happy to tell anyone else who cares to listen.
Now take back control of your life…and have a great day!
Having Trouble Finding Something to Be Grateful For?
Perhaps this will help.
…and here's a little more of Nick:
Practise gratitude on a daily basis. Developing an attitude of gratitude will only bring you more of what you desire.
Be Happy, Be Thankful, Be Blessed,

Review: Mind Movies
One, of the most exciting and enjoyable Law of Attraction tools that has become popular recently is the attractor video or mind movie, made popular by Ryan Higgins and his crew over at mindmovies.com. Mind movies are essentially a blend of music, text, still pictures and/or video clips combining to form a motivational video designed to keep you focused on your goals and desires. It really is a fun way to lift your spirits and keep you focused on what you really want in life. If you’d like, feel free to click on the attached video to view a quick sample mind movie I put together myself in a short period of time.
At the time of writing, you could purchase Ryan’s Mind Movie Creation Kit for $49 (USD). The kit comes with step-by-step instructions a
nd everything else you need to create as many of your own personal mind movies as your heart desires. I must admit Ryan and the gang do a great job of providing easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to compose your own movies. The truth of the matter, however, is that it’s not necessary to purchase the kit, in order to be able to create them on your own. If you’re fairly comfortable with computers and at tinkering with new programs, you can actually make your own videos using readily available software and resources that you can find and download off the Internet for free. On the other hand, if you prefer to have someone guide you step-by-step, showing you exactly what to do, then I would recommend you spend the $49 and allow Ryan and company to do what they do best.
Either way, I think you’ll get a real kick out of creating your own movies and watching them on a regular basis. It really is a fun and effective way to get clear and stay focused on everything you want in your life, and if you pick the right background music, it can also serve as a great pick-me-up to help you stay positive. I used Katrina and the Waves “Walking on Sunshine” in my video. That song simply never fails to pick up my spirits and put a smile on my face.
Anyway, happy movie making!
My Secrets to You,
Ron
