Law of Attraction Article: Let The Universe Handle Your Holidays This Year While You Get To Enjoy Them

Author: Janeen Clark
I love the holidays! I didn’t always feel that way, however. In theory I wanted to love them, but in reality the craziness that always took over the entire month of December made it almost impossible.

The decorating with the tangled lights, the shopping with the long lines, the must have items you just couldn’t find anywhere, the invitations that clashed, the numerous holiday functions at the school which there was no time for, and those darn Christmas cards. I used to look at any person who actually got their cards out within the first two weeks of December as if they were Gods. My friends and family considered themselves lucky if they received mine by January 15th…Correction... They considered themselves lucky if they received them at all.

And each year it just seemed to get worse. More crazy -- more frantic. I actually started to dread the upcoming holiday season knowing that there would be no rest until December 26th.

That is, until I decided to put the Universe and the Law of Attraction to work.

I have been studying the Law of Attraction for over 15 years, and it amazes even me that I never thought to really test its abilities during the holiday season. It wasn’t until about two years ago that I decided to really “hand the holidays” over to the Universe to deal with while I went back to enjoying them.

So I decided to write a list. A play-by-play if you will of how I wanted my holiday season to progress.

First I started with a letter stating my intentions.

“Dear Universe:

This year I choose to enjoy every possible moment of this holiday that I can. I expect you will handle everything I want accomplished smoothly and easily. I will watch for signs from you that will help things along and I am grateful in advance for all of your help.

Thank you,
Love Me.”

Then I specifically stated my intentions:

1. Decorating goes smoothly and easily. Everything works perfectly. If there is some decoration that I will need to buy, I know you will urge me to buy it at the right time and place beforehand.

2. Christmas cards go out effortlessly. I will get the perfect picture of my son and find the easiest and most cost effective place to have the cards printed .

3. Presents. I will find every gift on my list with ease. I will pay attention to any nudges you give me and head to places you direct me to.

4. Sales. I choose to purchase all the items on my list at wonderful prices. I trust you to lead me to the best places to buy them at the right time.

5. Gatherings with friends. I trust that the timing of all social engagements will coincide perfectly. Me and every one else involved will be satisfied and happy.

There were a few more things I put on the list, but you get the idea.

Then I started my holiday season with the confidence that the Universe was working behind the scenes and watched as it unfolded.

1. Decorating did go much smoother than ever. I was in a discount store that was having a sale on Christmas lights. I felt the urge to pick up a few strands (about three I think) at a great price and a few other knick knacks I felt pulled to buy that were very reasonably priced. Sure enough when it was time to decorate, the things I purchased fit in perfectly to create the finished product with very little effort.

2. Christmas Cards. My girlfriend emailed me a picture she had taken of my son in October in front of a bunch of large pumpkins that I had forgotten about and it had turned out awesome! Then she recommended that I use an online Christmas card service that was much faster and cheaper than the place I had normally went to every year. My cards and envelopes arrived in the mail with 4 days and I didn’t even have to leave the house! What a huge difference from previous years of long lines at the photo place getting my tired and cranky son to smile. The cards were perfect!

3. Presents. I had written out most of my list of what gifts I had wanted to get certain people. Then I kept my eyes open. At times I felt led to check out a certain news flier, at others, I felt an urge to go to a particular website or store. Sure enough, not only did I find everything I needed, but quite often at a huge discount due to a sale. Quite a few of the items online even had free shipping. It was awesome!

4. Sales and discounts (see above).

5. Gatherings with Friends. Sure enough everything fell into place here as well. Where normally I had 2 or 3 invitations that would clash - this time the timing worked out perfectly. One would be a holiday brunch - another for later in the evening. (Actually one invitation did clash - but I didn’t really want to go to that one anyway, so I was glad I could say I had something else planned - Yeah Universe!)

Then last year came the best “miracle” of all. My son wanted the Wii system (actually I kind of did too). As you probably know last year it was the most impossible gift to find. The ones online were going for at least $500 and up each, and on principle I was not willing to pay that kind of money for a gaming system. So I decided to hand it to Universe.

This one I chose to write down on its own sheet of paper. I wrote down that I wanted to find the Wii system at its regular price by Christmas time and thanked the Universe in advance for supplying it. Then I did my part by telling everyone I knew to keep an eye out for the system when they were out shopping. (I can’t tell you how many laughs and “good luck with thats!” I received) but I didn’t let it deter me. I also envisioned my excitement when I received it and I envisioned my son’s excitement when he opened it on Christmas day.

Sure enough about a week before Christmas my brother calls me from his cell phone in disbelief. He was in Target just as a store clerk came out of the storage room with about 4 or 5 systems on his hand truck. My brother snatched one up before it even made it to the shelf! The funny part about this is my brother normally does not shop for Christmas. He is totally a gift certificate man. But he happened to need something for himself in the electronics section when he saw the clerk come out! I still get chills when I think about this. (No matter how many times the Universe comes through for me, I always get these chills. There is no better feeling!)

So it is time for you to get started making your own Holiday list for Universe. Think of it as your own private Santa Claus. And all you want for Christmas is to actually enjoy the holiday a little.

If this is your first time doing this, do not feel discouraged if things don’t fall in place immediately. Stay with it. Take notice of the little “miracles” that keep happening and let it boost your belief system. If you feel yourself getting stressed remember to go back mentally to your list and know that all is well.

Happy Creating and Happy Holidays!

Internet Is A Gold Mine For Mesothelioma Lawyers

by: Sam Gurgis
One man's misery can be another man's fortune. This seems to be the case with the mesothelioma victims on the one hand and mesothelioma lawyers on the other. An online feeding frenzy is currently taking place. The average mesothelioma case today is settled at around 1 million dollars, and that figure jumps to 6 million dollars when the lawsuit goes to the courts. With such enormous money to be made, legal firms are hungry for a slice of the action, and are shelling out big money for online visitors. The result is that search engines and other sites that can supply them with those visitors are racking up huge revenue.

It works like this. In the sponsored listings of search engines, clicks (visitors) are auctioned off to the highest bidder. When someone searches “mesothelioma”, the highest-bidding law firms appear. With the keen competition, these firms are paying as much as $100 per mesothelioma-related visitor to their web site. That’s $100 every time someone just clicks on their ad - and a lot of the clicks are from competitors. Less than one in ten visitors may actually submit an inquiry about the services of the legal firm. And only a fraction of the inquiries convert into clients. Therefore, it is costing lawyers tens of thousands of dollars in advertising to secure a single client.

There is something truly obscene about this situation. But, it is inevitable that while there is huge money to be made from litigation, lawyers and publishers will continue to hustle for their slice of the action. You can even find these vultures on YouTube making an undignified pitch for business. If only a portion of the money could be directed to cancer research. Perhaps these legal firms and others who profit from this horrendous disease should consider donating a portion of their gains to research organizations. By doing so, they may appear a little more genuine and less like vultures.

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer linked to asbestos exposure. In fact, 70% to 80% of mesothelioma cases are caused by a history of exposure to asbestos. It can take decades for the symptoms to appear. Each year, approximately 2,000 to 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are reported. In the past 20 years, the number of reported cases has increased significantly. Although it can take up to 50 years for symptoms to manifest, mesothelioma patients experience a host of symptoms. These include shortness of breath, or a wheezing and hacking cough, which often lead to chest or abdominal pain. In the more serious cases, individuals may have bowel blockages, anaemia, a bloody cough, and jaundice. It is extremely difficult to secure accurate statistics about how many individuals suffer from mesothelioma because in the early stages, the symptoms are quite similar to various other conditions. This often leads to a misdiagnosis of the disease. In addition, when an accurate diagnosis is finally made, the disease has typically already progressed to a more advanced stage.

With the renovation craze that has occurred in the past 2 or 3 decades in countries such as Australia and the US, it is expected that the high rates of diagnosis will continue for decades to come. And as long as there is money to be made from this disease, the vultures will also be around.

Law of Attraction, Subconscious Mind Power and Manifesting Your Desires

by: Leon Edward
Control your life, start with controlling your thoughts and your mind and absolutely manifest your wildest desires. There is a catch. We may even be attracting into our lives the things we don't want. Learn the mistakes that you can avoid and exact techniques to attain your desires in record speed. The irresistable, natural law of attraction works perfectly every time, only our ability to clearly use this law and the pitfalls described can be counter productive.

Quantum physics has shown all matter is simply a certain vibrating rate of energy. All energies will gravitate to other energies of the same or similar vibrating energy rates. Our thoughts and beliefs also vibrate at certain frequencies and energy levels. Thoughts of ours as having their own vibrational frequency not only attract into our lives similar vibrations from people, events, ideas, even financial status and opportunity but they also imprint our subconscious mind blueprint. So you can see that we really need to be sending the right signals or else even our subconscious mind can in actuality be working against us! This way, we can attract more of the same vibrational level thoughts of the people, circumstances, things, events that are in sync with our own desires.

Whatever you focus your intentions on, you will attract into your life. What? You may say, - No way did I attract this mess into my life! - . Well , in fact maybe you did, by mistake. Here is an important key in the law of attraction. Whenever you focus on something you do not want, you start the vibratory patterns of yours that attract the very thing you are trying to avoid. Very simply stated, if you focus on what you want , you will get it but if you focus on what you do not want, you will get it too.

People , as I once did, can get focused on something negative. As examples; maybe it is bills, maybe it is a bad habit, lack of a partner , etc. By focusing your attention on it , even trying to rid it; you are attracting the very thing you want to get rid of! Instead, in order to receive our desires into our lives, we need to allow them. For example, instead of focusing on - not being broke all the time - , just relax and allow riches into your life. Another example would be instead of focusing on not having a loving relationship, be happy, content and be a joy to be around - send out positive vibrations of how great it is to be in a loving relationship. You will have a circumstance where you will attract another person with similar thought patterns. So focus on your desires. Let this be your overriding mindset.

A technique to keep focused on your desires and manifest them quickly is visualize these desires as if you had them now, in the present and feel the emotional state that they bring you. Focus on the benefits whether they be personal , materialistic, effecting others, achieving goals or other desires. The best time to practice this visualization is early morning and late at night before sleep. Both times are best but if you only can spend one fifteen to twenty minute session or so , make it early in the morning. Creating a desire manual or scrapbook if you will, made up up pictures of your own desires whether they be relationships, travel, new sportscars, homes, diamonds, donations, or other. Whatever it is focus on these each day. What emotional state will you have when each of these is manifested. Imagine exactly how that feels. If you felt that way in an earlier portion of your life, use that memory to get that feeling again. The stronger the emotion the better. Also, your certainty of you attaining the desires plus your belief that you will, should both be strong. This way you will attain your desires the quickest.

As mentioned, an important point in achieving your desires is that you must believe what you desire .

The strongest, fastest way to manifesting your desires is to believe as if you already had your desire.

This is not always easily for many . However, if instead of saying you have these desires, just change your thinking to an intention. Here is an example . Instead of the following statement.

I have a 70 foot luxury yacht. Use this next statement for better belief.

I choose to have a 70 foot luxury yacht . Or even better,

It is my intention to easily own a 70 foot luxury yacht.

You may have noticed that I did not mention a time constraint. I know many successful people have used a milestone date in the future where you will attain your desire . I have myself in the past successfully. However, with programming the subconscious setting milestones can even be detrimental . I mean this in a way that your subconscious might work faster than you even thought possible. And get this. It may multiply your desires to limits that you did not think possible. So whatever you do when you plan the desires you will attain, set no limits and ALWAYS pledge to meet your desires in an ethical manner that will benefit you and others in the best way possible to add value to peoples lives. By repeatedly practicing these steps, you will get a stronger belief and certainty and such control your life, start with controlling your thoughts and your mind and absolutely manifest your wildest desires.

Interesting Facts About The New Business Tax Law

by: Dean Forster
Before getting involved into any business deductions, one should first have a good understanding of the business tax law. The business tax law involves the taxation of income and property acquired through professional efforts. In addition to income tax, there is sales tax, capital gains tax, property tax, and other areas of tax. Every business liable for income tax must keep a record of all transactions made so that the total amount of the gross income can be estimated. The interesting thing about business tax law are the changes made by the Bush administration with the 'Tax Increase Preven-tion and Reconcilia-tion Act of 2005.' This act includes several important business tax changes that will examine.

The new business tax law allows small business to deduct up to $100,000 of investments in qualifying depreciable assets through 2007. Also, under current law, the domestic manufacturing deduction is also limited to 50% of a taxpayer's total W-2 wages. The new law modifies the wage limitation so that taxpayers may only include W-2 wages that are deducted in arriving at qualified production activities income.

For all you business owners out there, there are some advices that you can use in respect to those business tax law changes. First of all, you can continue to treat dividend payments at the lower rate.

The main business tax increases in the new law consists of - limiting the foreign earned income exclusion for housing expenses; repealing the foreign sales corporation and extraterritorial income exclusion benefits for certain "grandfathered" contracts; denying tax-free treatment to certain "cash-rich" spin-off transactions; and requiring withholding after 2010 on government contract payments.

The act also modifies certain corporate estimated tax payment requirements for large corporations (those with a minimum of $1 billion in assets), requires reporting of interest on tax-exempt bonds, and applies the earnings-stripping rules to corporate partners. Other business revenue-raisers affect foreign investors in U.S. real estate, major integrated oil companies and pooled financing bonds.

According to the new business tax law, the self-employed tax contribution base is increased from $94,200 to about $102,000 in 2008. The self-employment tax rate continues to be 15.3%. The full rate applies to the first $102,000 of self-employment income; after that only the 2.9% Medicare tax applies.

Keep in mind that US business are taxed on their worldwide income. In other words, no matter where your business earns money from (in terms of geographic locations), it's still treated as income taxable in the US. There is just one exception to this rule and it's only if your business is located outside of the US and you reside there for most of the year.

The Secret Master Keys And The Law Of Attraction - Keys To Conscious Co-Creation

by: Stephen H Lockie
In 1933, for all intent and purposes, The Master Keys disappeared from public light, a decision was made within the hierarchy of 'the church' stating "The Master Keys will never be revealed to the public"... I'm sure the vatican was heated by many a book relegated to the furnace... "it is easier to control the poor, than control the happily wealthy"... I'm also sure a few were kept in 'The Archives' for their own use to accumulate the huge sums of money, art, sculpture, manuscripts, real estate etc they have.

Well, you can't keep something like this hidden for ever, and in the first part of the 1990s, when the Silicone Valley millionaires and billionaires were being made, it is well known they all read the text and went on to create the biggest stockmarket boom in history. Bill Gates is said to have come across a copy a couple of years into his Harvard University studies and soon after dropped-out... to create for us all the means to access information at our finger-tips... "putting a computer in every home" may seem a lofty goal, fraught with obstacles and difficulties, but that certainly didn't stop him from achieving it, and becoming one of the richest men on the planet to boot...

It is our birth-right to live in abundance. Charles Haanel knew this, and many others before his time and since have known it... now it's our time to experience The Secret Master Keys and allow ourselves to achieve all that we desire... Health, Wealth, Happiness and Abundance in all things... to live a life of joy.

Let me give you a glimpse of the wonderful gems Charles Haanel has given us... from Key One of the course... Paragraphs 2, 3, 6, 7 & 31;

"Mind is creative, and conditions, environment and all experiences in life are the result of our habitual or predominant mental attitude".

"The attitude of mind necessarily depends upon what we think. Therefore, the secret of all power, all achievement and all possession depends upon our mode of thought".

"There is a world within - a world of thought and feeling and power; of light and life and beauty and, although invisible, its forces are mighty".

"The world within is governed by mind. When we discover this world we shall find the solution for every problem, the cause for every effect; and since the world within is subject to our control, all laws of power and possession are also within our control".

"Every thought therefore is a cause and every condition an effect; for this reason it is absolutely essential that you control your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions".

He certainly pulls no punches, he explains through the logical male side, and the creative feminine side of our brain, how our mind really works, and restores our thinking to higher-thought. In the recently released movie 'The Secret' ( http://www.thesecret.tv/ where the book in its original form can be read) the Quantum Physicist, Dr Fred Alan Wolf, says "You can't have a Universe without mind entering into it... the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived..." We literally create all that we are, all we have, all we receive, and all we experience... everything, totally through our thoughts and feelings, whether we believe it or not, or are conscious of it or not... 100% of the time without exception.

There is no capricious outside force arbitrarily dealing out what we get in life, WE are that force, WE are creating our lives. We can create a life of stress with all those things we don't want, or we can create a life of wonder where all that comes to us is positive, abundant, joyful and loving... it's our choice.

Once this concept is fully grasped and accepted, IT IS LIFE-CHANGING. The Master Keys are a set of systematic steps or Keys, that transform our lives into the meaningful and joy-filled experiences they were meant to be. "There is no virtue in poverty, no benefit in self denial" what could we possibly gain from either... absolutely nothing whatsoever. We were born to have a full and abundant, successful, healthy and happy life. As Wallace Wattle says in his gem of a book, The Science Of Getting Rich, "No-one ought to be satisfied with a little, if they are capable of using and enjoying more... to be content with less is sinful..."

The wonderful thing is, we can change everything in an instant with a change of attitude... Gratitude for the things we have now is a great way to generate the feelings which will allow us to leave the competitive mind, enter the creative mind, and start to create the things we want in our lives.

The movie The Secret is a fantastic start to allowing this "power within" to come out... it shows you what this Secret is... The Secret Master Keys shows you how to re-train your mind to create what you desire, by applying a very systematic, step-by-step method and then... the world is yours to do as you wish.

Take care what you think and wish for... you may just receive it sooner than you expect.
