THIS ONE SKILL ABOVE ALL OTHERS ALIGNS YOU WITH THE UNIVERSAL RULES FOR ACHIEVEMENT!

      Anyone interested in applying principles found in such works as The Secret, Law of Attraction, Science of Getting Rich, The Master Key System, Think & Grow Rich, and other 'Success' methodologies will discover here the one most important skill necessary in applying any of those systems for better, faster results. 

     If you are someone who has read books, listened to recordings, watched videos, or attended seminars on success, yet are not getting the results you really want, your major problem may just be that you have not trained your mind to properly concentrate.  This article explains how you can turn that around, and thereby change your results. 

     Success and wealth building systems revolving around 'Law of Attraction', 'Money Consciousness', and 'Personal Magnetism' almost all require that practitioners turn to their own mind as a powerful resource that can 'bring' about the realization of goals and objectives.  As part of the process, most also require that you think clearly about what it is that you want.  Yet, when one looks objectively at the majority of the people who believe in and use the systems themselves, the failure rate is appalling.  Nobody wants to fail at these systems, especially YOU. 

     Napoleon Hill, who authored the most famous manual on success in modern history, stated it effectively when he said, "If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self." Poor Concentration Is Lethal To Laws Of Attraction and Success 

     The problem with people suffering through years of dedicated effort only to find themselves in a rut is not a lack of desire, but that they are victims of UNTRAINED and UNDISCIPLINED 'wanting'.  The root of working ambitiously hard while getting nowhere lies in poorly directed attention onto an unproductively wide range of desires.  The majority of us tend to expend lots of energy wanting and chasing lots of things, rather than narrowing our wants down to just a few valuable objectives that ensure we get whatever we want.  By deciding to pour all our energy of thought and action into just a couple big items, we can so arrange it to where the process of achieving them utterly fulfills our secondary and tertiary needs and desires. 

     Despite the pervasive spread of misinterpretations of 'Law of Attraction' principles proposing that your brain will automatically stay focused on something you want because, well, you WANT it, overwhelming evidence proves that merely coming up with an attractive idea is insufficient to change the established physical structure of a habitually unfocused brain that tends to constantly wander from desire to desire.  The way to fix the damage of established mental habits that interfere with greater success is to replace them with mental habits that make achieving our goals easier.  Therefore, the primary principle underlying Law Of Attraction philosophies which needs to be understood by you is Mental Concentration.  Those who fail to master this one simple skill are subject to waste many years in unnecessary struggle and defeat while trying to incorporate Laws of Success into their lives to the degree of they wish.

Train Your Mind To Concentrate And Attract Success

      You must learn to hold your mind steady onto one objective in the short term so that your mind will be practiced enough to maintain focus on a larger objective over the long term.  There is nothing abnormal about the fact that thoughts fade, shift, are displaced constantly by competing thoughts, impulses, influences, and desires.  But since you have chosen to live a life above and beyond the norm, you have thus obligated that your mind should also operate on that same, unique level; therefore, you must make the necessary effort to train your mind to do something it has not thus far been tasked to do, which is to dismiss everything that pulls at it and to stay put on the one thing that matters most, no matter what rises up to distract you.

       Fortunately, acquiring Concentration skills is a simple process, although it does involve a committed personal schedule of regular practice at strategic mental exercises that strengthen your mental concentration muscles.  As you develop your mental concentration skills, the increase itself will inevitably evolve into better overall mental focus, and eventually, stronger willpower. 

 SHARP STUDENT WRITES: “I am a bright student in school and can achieve high marks when I focus although I find it harder and harder to focus nowadays. What should I do?”

     The mental habits (established thoughts, emotions, and impulses) that you have relied on until now are growing increasingly to get you going and keep you moving have increasingly unreliable, which is not a surprise because it happens to many of us as our brains form into teen and early adult years. 

     As you place more and more demand on your brain to deal with growing challenges in school (and eventually, the competitive work and business environments), the last thing you want is to discover unexpected limitations as you’re trying build a future for yourself. 

     My advice to you is that you adopt a new lifestyle of dynamic mental fitness into your daily schedule, in the same way you might adopt physical fitness into your daily schedule. Doing so would ensure that, day by day, you strengthen and deepen your MENTAL power so that you can rely on it, so that it will be there for you, so that you won’t have to struggle or find yourself at the end of the day looking back in regret knowing you could have done better and produced more. 

     To get that kind of consistency and unfailing reliability, you want to TRANSFORM your current ability to concentrate from solely dependent on ‘mood’ - you want to ELEVATE your mental concentration to a WELL-MASTERED SKILL, like a Master Carpenter who has had excellent training and expanding experience and who can execute his trade come rain or shine. In this way, you can SKILLFULLY stop distracting thoughts, gather FOCUS, tap into deep wells of endurance, and shut the iron doors of your will against invading distractions. 

     Training yourself in the actual SKILL of mental concentration will make it a CHOICE, rather than a hope. 

     If you take advantage of the training opportunities we provide, you’ll be on the right track in a very short time.

ONE SIMPLE APPROACH BOOSTS WILLPOWER, FOCUS, AND CONCENTRATION!

     If you're looking for something you can do to give yourself a mental edge in accomplishing your personal, career, or financial goals, then you want to pay close attention to this advice on how to use a specific mental fitness approach to help you along.  

     Of all the brain training techniques that can be employed to boost the skill and effectiveness of your mental talents, only one mental exercise has the comprehensive influence on enough of your brain functions that it can enhance your mental concentration, your mental focus, and your power of will, simultaneously -   dynamic breathing concentration. 

      Special breathing methods have been used in spiritual practices for thousands of years to bring the mind under control and practitioners into better awareness of their environment, themselves, their thoughts, and their emotions, resulting in greater mental clarity and focus in preparation for even more enlightening personal development. 

      Today, Science is recognizing and acknowledging through expanding research the benefits of meditative breathing techniques in contributing to stress reduction, emotional well-being, and increased mental clarity.  Dynamic breathing concentration activates the higher self-management function of your brain in order to exert intentional control over parts of your physical activity that are normally automated by your unconscious mind. 

      Using your mind to willfully regulate the physical action of breathing processes results in your brain directing a significant percentage of its resources onto the task, which means your attention narrows onto the job at hand, your thoughts concern themselves with the necessary effort, and your resolve is called upon to maintain consistently successful action.  Therefore, as you continue using dynamic breathing mental fitness exercises, your brain enjoys a novel new demand upon its functions that mean more mental strength, endurance, and flexibility, all of which equate to better performance in all your pursuits.  The physical changes that happen as your brain begins to solidify, strengthen, and forge new connections among its brain cells is known as Neuro-sculpting.  So, let's introduce you to one dynamic mental fitness brain exercise that will get you started on the road to more brainpower. 

      Basic dynamic breathing concentration is a simple brain exercise for which you should set aside some personal time in which nobody will disturb you, and in a place where you can be alone.  You should also have a piece of paper along with a pen or pencil to use for making notes of what you experience during your training sessions.

       Slowly, comfortably inhale fully, then exhale fully, and repeat.  Begin with a count of just five breaths.  When you take the breath in, don't focus on your chest pulling the air; instead, with a relaxed torso, let the air fill from the bottom of your lungs near the lower sternum and fill upwards.   On exhale, release the air slowly so that it seems it's exiting from the top of your lungs on down to the bottom.  As an example, conceptualize the way a balloon fills from the bottom and then the top expands; when you let the air go from the balloon, the top air goes first and then the bottom.  See if you can try that a few times, but don't get too wrapped up about it.  Just make sure you breathe comfortably. 

     Thoughts will arise - you'll start analyzing - but NONE of that is of use to you as you direct your attention to remain targeted onto the breath itself.  Try five, although you may not be able to complete three full breaths before you get caught up in some thought or self-talk.  When you can do five fully attended breaths without thought or other distractions stealing your Attention away from the rich, full experience of breathing, then extend the number.  Do the exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day, twice a day for accelerated progress.  Make yourself a three week goal of 20 to 30 full breaths in a row without giving in to wandering thoughts or external distractions.

Dynamic Mental Concentration Training

          Mental Concentration is the masterful ability to summon, narrow, direct, and hold your Attention onto any target you wish, for as long as you wish to do so. Period.

          Very few people have a highly-developed skill at Mental Concentration, and even most who seem very productive lean mostly on well-established habits that can totally fail them if they are removed from their optimum work scenario. A strongly-skilled Mental Concentration talent can willfully shut down the temptation for diversion any time, any place.

          When it comes to completing a task, Mental Concentration is the absolute, conscious, single-minded control of Attention in total defiance of every form of distraction, whether it be from your own busy mind or from other people or anything else in your environment. Mental Concentration gives you the power to not only refuse to be distracted even by your own thoughts and impulses, but can allow you to CONTROL your thoughts and impulses and direct them to maximize your own effectiveness.

          Applying it to achieving goals, Mental Concentration is what you do in relation to the smallest individual action steps within a goal, no matter how extensive the goal. With it, you select the next, highest value or priority step (a task, an assignment, and appointment, etc.) along the chain of steps leading to the objective. You then bring together the full might of your Attention and CONCENTRATE that Attention onto the task at hand, rejecting and dismissing any distractions that would interfere with getting it done, remaining with the duty until it is properly completed.

          Dynamic Mental Concentration training targets your current mental habits of Attention and brings them under your absolute command and authority, resulting in a major increase in mental control, endurance, and flexibility. These improved skills can easily, profitably be applied to your pursuits in business, career, sports, your spiritual and even social life for extraordinary results.

Your Skill At Mental Concentration Greatly Affects Your Mental Focus Ability

           If your Mental Concentration skills are not sufficiently strong enough to meet the constant, time-critical demands of the life level you're looking to achieve in the immediate and long-term future, your level of Mental Focus will not be strong enough to ensure a consistent upward and forward momentum (nor quality of productivity and achievement) necessary to solidify your chances of success.

          The entire point of Concentration Training is to prepare you to boost your MENTAL FOCUS.   Mental Focus is NOT the same as Mental Concentration. Visualize a piece of paper on which, at one end, you draw a target symbol. On the opposite end, write in small letters "You Are Here. In between, make 8 dots in a line from "You Are Here" to the "Target." Mental Focus is the total, absolutely clear mental knowledge of Target, Dots, & Starting Point.

          Mental Focus is your skillful ability to KNOW WHAT YOU WANT with absolute clarity, knowledge so clear and uncorrupted by competing desires and distractions that it thoroughly brings into congruent alignment your THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, IMPULSES & URGES, PERCEPTIONS, & ACTIONS. That's right: If you forge it clearly enough in mind, it will TRANSFORM YOU into the person you need to be in order to make it come about. MENTAL CONCENTRATION on the other hand is totally 'HERE AND NOW'.

          MENTAL CONCENTRATION is your skillful, CONSCIOUS, PURPOSEFUL ability to direct and control your ATTENTION (it's DIRECTION (target), SPAN, DEPTH, and DURATION) AT WILL!!!  I repeat:  AT WILL!   Mental Concentration happens RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE. If you moved in a line from "You Are Here" to "Target," Mental Concentration is total immersion and energy applied to each DOT.

          With Mental Concentration, you MOVE FORWARD STEP BY STEP, but your only concern is simply the CURRENT, NECESSARY STEP in direct defiance of all internal and external sources of distraction in the present moment. With Mental Focus, you SET YOUR COURSE and STAY ON IT for lengthy periods of days, weeks, months, or years. Mental Concentration is MOTION NOW, while Mental Focus is TARGETING, constant and in total defiance of all internal and external distraction over the long term.

          So, in closing, a person (YOU, for instance) best implements his or her training agenda by learning how to CONCENTRATE EFFECTIVELY and for crazy LONG DURATION onto ANY TARGET against ANY FORM OF DISTRACTION (Thought-based, Impulses, Urges, or External Sights & Sounds - especially OTHER PEOPLE and their 'demands'). Whatever your training technique, you WANT that kind of skill, because you can then apply it to FORGING & HOLDING an IDEA, PURPOSE, or VISION in such a way that you EASILY bring it about.

Improving Mental Concentration Means Breaking Down Both Real And Imaginary Mental Barriers!

          When training your brain to concentrate more effectively, the main obstacle you will immediately encounter one or more forms of mental resistance to the extended effort of holding your attention steady.  Just as your arm would eventually become weary and unable to continue lifting a heavy weight held out in front of your body, your brain burns a major amount of energy when working to maintain a consistent ’signal’ of attention targeted onto a single task.  Your ability to keep your attention fixed on a targeted task may last from as little as a few seconds to a few minutes (varying from person to person), but rarely more than that before it is interrupted by at least one of four very familiar culprits:

1. Wandering Thoughts - indicating that your mind isn’t relaxed and calm, so thoughts keep rising up or you find yourself engaging in a conversation in your head.
2. Impulsivity - means your body isn’t relaxed and calm enough to prevent impatient fidgeting and moving around.
3. Outside Interruptions - when your mind keeps trying to attend to external events such as distracting noises.
4. Mental Fatigue - happens as your brain simply gets tired from  the intense expenditure of energy, just as your body gets weary when you sprint in a race.
