"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

But who do you ask and how do you ask? Well, who is the Universe, God, The First Cause and how is the easy part. Everything you have achieved so far in your life - whether good or bad, is a result of asking for it. I know that's really hard to accept but it's true. How often have you worried about something like - boy, I sure hope I don't get a flat tire on my way to my interview this morning or whether it will rain for Saturdays picnic. And then, guess what happens - the things you were focusing on not having happen, happen. It happens to people all the time. We attract what we think about and focus on. I know if you will think about things that have happened in your life, you will remember giving those things attention before they happened. Again, both good and bad.

Ok, so how do you focus your attention on what you desire? Affirmations! An affirmation is defined as - Something declared to be true; a positive statement or judgment. Well, there you go. But how do I use affirmations to get what I want? Let's first discuss how to construct a powerful affirmation.

1) They need to be stated in the present tense.

I have a beautiful new BMW is more powerful than I will have a beautiful new BMW. Will indicates future and you will always be in a state of waiting for it to happen.

2) They need to be stated in positive terms.

I'm no longer broke won't cut it. I have an unlimited income stream, that's powerful!

3) They need to be short and specific.

The subconscious mind as powerful as it is, cannot understand long statements. It is more easily influenced by short, positively worded specific statements.

Now that you've constructed a powerful positive affirmation, here's how to make it part of you.

1) Repetition

The best times of the day to repeat your affirmation are in the morning when you awaken before you get out of bed and as you are lying in bed at night just before you go to sleep. Additionally, put it up on your bathroom mirror, in your car on the visor, and in your office. The more you see it the more quickly it will manifest your desires.

2) Emotions

Have fun, imagine you're an actor reciting your lines, and repeat it with emotion as though you have achieved what you desire. I AM FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT, wow that felt good!

3) Belief

Here's the tough one. When you're not there yet it's tough to believe it. So, here is what you do. Feel what it will be like when achieving your desire. I mean really get into it. Imagine what it will be like. Live it right now in your mind. Go the places you'll go, see the things you'll see. Make your vision so real that your subconscious mind will know that you are already in possession of your desire.

Your subconscious mind is about 90% of your total minds power. Your conscious mind that you use in your daily life is only 10%. Your subconscious mind will accept anything you submit to it without question and will begin to manifest your desires into your life where you can experience them fully.
