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. 

 Controlling Your Mental Focus:
When A Mere Emotional Feeling Can Decide Your Fate!

          The quality of your Mental Focus determines how you feel about nearly everything you have to do in life.  The way you feel determines what you decide do, what actions you decide to take, and whether you'll consistently carry out the right actions to squeeze all the juice from life.  So, if you are in Sales, Marketing, or any other career or business area where you need to build a customer base to generate revenue, you should understand clearly that your feelings (associated thoughts and emotions) about even the smallest, mundane, laborious details of the objectives you have for your life determine not only the quality of the experience of working daily towards your goal, but whether you will hit your target, period!

          Your feelings - the real-time act of picturing something in your mind and having an emotional response to that imagery - must be positively congruent and agreeably supportive with what you've set out to do, or you'll find yourself engaged in self-sabotaging behavioral patterns such as procrastination, mind-changing, and seeking out distracting, stress-relieving activities that are not goal-achieving.

          If you are in Business, Sales, Marketing, or another Client-oriented enterprise, you must have consistently enjoyable feelings in regards to such tasks as:

• Prospecting for new business
• Picking up the phone and calling people you don't know
• Following up with potential and existing clients
• Mastering your skills on a daily basis
• Setting action goals for the day and keeping track of progress
• Continually improving yourself as a human being

          As a habit, you'll want to begin conducting a daily inventory of your mental reactions to thinking about the little things you must do to succeed at your goals.  Is there fear?  Worry?  Doubt?  Disinterest?  Frustration?  When you are planning out the details of your day, notice (and, better, TAKE NOTE of) the internal dialogue that pops up with each task planned.  You may discover that for one or more tasks, you are not particularly thrilled to do them.  This can have a cascading effect that impacts your whole day.

          Every such disempowering feeling toward something you know you should do needs to be displaced, replaced, or eradicated by cultivating an OPPOSITE mental association, good feeling, and welcoming thought regarding the thing to be done.

          Worrisome, anxious feelings can be displaced by eagerness or excitement merely by consciously changing the content of the thought itself and then holding your attention onto the new content until it is crowds out the previous mindset.  This is the Psychological Law of Displacement in action.

          Often, merely adjusting the physical position of your body and deepening your breathing can be of value, in combination with forming uplifting imagery to move the negative experience off the stage of your mind.  Whenever you do this kind of approach, you should immediately find a way to take some form of action so that its value is maximized, and the worrisome habit rendered impotent.

          A fearful notion can be replaced (better yet, eradicated) by concentrating fully on what needs to be done.  The act of mental concentration disengages your mental resources from the fearful state and redirects them to the task of concentration.  The effort to do so requires a courageous resolve which replaces the shaky mindset.  In the moment you switch states of mind, you'll feel as though the fear simply doesn't exist, and that is because as long as you maintain the mindset of mental concentration - of determined resolve - it won't.

          From a mental state of determined resolve, take the necessary action while maintaining the mindset throughout.  You'll find yourself far more productive and your results will be superior.  Nothing solves fear like proving that it is merely an illusion.

          A doubtful mindset can be eradicated by focusing all your attention on a feeling of resolute faith.  The skill to concentrate on a positive state (at will) is priceless!  At any time, you have the ability to intensely think of a positive state and immerse yourself in it, mentally.  Doing so may require solid resolve if the negative state is being particularly stubborn, but resolve wins out every time.  Again, once you have accessed the mindset, hold it without until the previous state is no longer bothering you.

          Whatever creative approach you use, the important principle to keep in mind is that you do not have to settle for a negative feeling toward a valuable task merely out of mental habit.  You have a choice to change any disempowering, goal-killing emotion, and once changed, to take action under the pleasure of the new, empowering mental state.  As a forward-moving person, you should take advantage of your ability to shift Mental Focus at will in order to make your workday and your work life more pleasantly productive.
