The Secret, Manifestation and Intuition: How to Think, Feel and Act Your Way to the Life You Want

From Bob Proctor to Abraham Hicks to John Assaraf, the world's leading manifestation teachers share a common thread. This is what they actually teach — and how to apply it in your real life.

In 2006, a film called The Secret introduced tens of millions of people worldwide to a concept that had been quietly circulating in philosophical and spiritual traditions for centuries: the idea that your thoughts, feelings, and focus are not passive observers of your life but active participants in creating it.

The film featured some of the most prominent voices in personal development — Bob Proctor, John Assaraf, Jack Canfield, Lisa Nichols, and Dr Joe Vitale among them — alongside the teachings of Abraham Hicks, the collective wisdom channelled through Esther Hicks that had been laying the intellectual groundwork for the Law of Attraction for decades prior.

The Secret was not the origin of these ideas. It was a popularisation of principles that trace back through Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich (1937), Wallace Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich (1910), and further still into philosophical and spiritual traditions that span cultures and centuries. What the film did was make these principles accessible to an audience that had never encountered them before.

Finding Your Purpose: How Listening to Yourself Can Change Your Life

Most of us don't lose our sense of direction in one dramatic moment. We lose it gradually, one borrowed goal at a time, until we're standing in a life we built carefully and still don't recognise.

---

There's a particular kind of disorientation that has nothing to do with failure. You've done everything right. You built the career, kept the promises, showed up for the people who needed you. And somewhere in the middle of doing it all competently, a quieter question started surfacing: is this actually mine, or is it just what I was supposed to want?

How to Change Old Beliefs | Bob Proctor

Believe it, feel it, become it! Love this great insight into changing belief's from Bob Procter.

Change Your Mind by Changing Your Perception

Bob Procter didn't believe it at first either. But he listened & started to learn. From a broke fireman to the man he is today. 

He has a great story to share! 

On October 21, 1961, a man by the name of Raymond Stanford sat down with me. He put an ‘R’ on a sheet of paper with two ‘H’’s and a ‘W’ beside it.

Ray said, “Bob, let this ‘R’ represents results. The two ‘H’’s represent happiness and health. The ‘W’ represents wealth. Do you think I’m a happy person?”

I said, “Yes, I think so.”

Ray asked, “Have you ever seen me sick?”

I had to admit that I hadn’t.

Then, Ray asked, “Have you ever seen me without any money?”

“No, I haven’t.”

Then, Ray proceeded to tell me that he thought I was one of the most miserable people he had ever met.

He said, “You’re never healthy, you always have a backache, or a cold or something. And you’re always broke. Why don’t you change this?”

I didn’t really believe I could. I was making $4,000 a year and I owed $6,000.

Ray said, “You can have anything you want. But you’re going to have to change the way you’re looking at your life.”

“What do you mean?”

Ray responded, “You’re looking at the fact that you never went to school, and you don’t have any business experience. You’re putting yourself down, and figuring out all the reasons you can’t change.

“Your problem isn’t a lack of education. Your problem isn’t a lack of experience or money. You’ve got a perception problem. You’re looking at yourself the wrong way. If you would change your point of view of YOU, your whole world would begin to change.”

Today, the company that I own does millions of dollars in business. It operates in 47 different countries, and it’s growing every day. And here I am 55 years later with a healthy body and very cheery disposition.

All I really did was change my point of view.

I want you to think about this story for a few moments, and relate it to your own life.

If you’re not as happy, healthy and wealthy as you’d like to be, I urge you to step back and look at your situation from a different perspective.

But don’t just look at it in a general or superficial way; go further than you ever have before. Look beyond the reasons you’ve come up with for why you can’t change or get what you want until you “see” a way to improve your current circumstances.

Do it now, and prepare to rewrite your story.

To your success,

Bob Proctor
Chairman & Co-Founder
Proctor Gallagher Institute

P.S. If you like the idea of rewriting your story, be sure to read next Monday’s post. Changing your story—or creating a life script—is a smart thing to do no matter how good your life currently is.

So, next week I’ll explain how to write a script that will allow you do more than view your life from a new perspective—it will enable you to LIVE your life from that perspective. Creating life scripts, when executed properly, will make a tremendous difference in your life.

Discover Your Purpose

Humans aren’t alone in having a purpose.

Everything in nature is always expanding or evolving towards fulfillment.

Think about it…

A bee wants to pollinate flowers and trees. A plant produces oxygen. A cloud forms to produce rain.

However, unlike plants and other living creatures, you and I don’t have to accept the environment we are in. Humans have the unique ability to co-create our reality through our thoughts.

As a result, instead of all members of the species having the same overriding purpose (e.g., pollination for bees), each person has his or her own unique purpose. And it’s up to the individual to discover what that purpose is.

The problem is we get so caught up and bogged down with our daily activities and obligations that our awareness of our own unique life purpose is easily shrouded over.

When you don’t know your purpose, however, there are consequences. You may have a continuing sense of frustration. Or you might feel like you’re “off-track” or out of sync with your inner self.

Make sure you’re clear on this

Some people confuse their goals and desires with the life purpose. But there’s a significant distinction.

Over the course of your lifetime, you’ll have a succession of desires and goals. However, your purpose is deeper and more permanent than any goal. It’s your reason for living.

Let’s say you’ve always wanted to write a book and, one day, you set a goal to do so. The thought of it excites you because you want to make money, be well-known, change people’s lives, or build a legacy.

Even though writing a book is a terrific accomplishment, it doesn’t give you a reason to stay alive. That is what a purpose does. It gives you a reason to get up in the morning, every day of your life.

Is it love?

People who discover their life purpose use their mental, emotional and creative energies to develop a skill, talent, or interest they love.

When you give yourself to something you genuinely love, it calls forth your spirit. That makes you happier and more fulfilled, and you feel like you’re in sync with your inner self.

What’s more, your everyday life takes on new meaning as you share your gift with the world.

Action is where you get results

I know it’s not always easy to think your way into finding your life purpose. If you’re too much “in your head,” you may have to act your way into it.

The more we act, the more we get clear on things. So, while you’re working on discovering your purpose, be sure to do whatever you’re currently doing the best you can. Give it all that you’ve got.

And, instead of worrying about whether something will work out, if you should try something, or if you can make money at it, just do it. Start trying new things to see where they lead you. This will help you get out of your own way.

The experience of doing a great job or trying something new is its own reward. Clarity comes through the process of exploring and seeing what works and what doesn’t.

Stop wasting your time

In the video, I mentioned that I used to investigate things that didn’t remotely interest me just because someone had presented an idea or opportunity to me. Don’t do that. It’s a waste of your precious time.

However, when you do feel a pull towards an activity, idea, or opportunity that involves doing something you love, pursue it fully and vigorously. Then, pay attention to the feedback your actions give you along the way.

Infuse all your actions with love for what you’re engaging with. That includes all the people you interact with, as well.

If you consciously infuse your thoughts, emotions and behavior with positive, life-affirming energy, it will be easier for you to see your true purpose with greater clarity.

A magnet steadily pulling you towards it

Hazrat Inayat Khan, a Sufi spiritual leader, described the pull of your purpose in this way:

…one may suddenly think during the night, “I must go to the north,” and in the morning, he sets out on his journey. He does not know why, he does not know what he is to accomplish there, he only knows that he must go. By going there, he finds something that he has to do and sees that it was the hand of destiny pushing him towards the accomplishment of that purpose which inspired him to go to the north.

I find that people who set out to “go to the north” and discover their life purpose live their life in service and bliss. They recognize that they are hard-wired to do something very well and that talent, skill, or ability will blossom when they discover it.

Six Minutes to Success #1

Very powerful from the wonderful Bob Procter

How an Attitude of Gratitude Changes Everything

Just had to share this post from Bob Procter, which epitomises why being grateful is a must, for positive impacts in our lives. Enjoy! 

Most people know it’s good to be grateful, but many don’t understand what gratitude really does for us.

Expressing gratitude instantly shifts your energy. It puts you in harmony with your source of supply so that the good in everything moves toward you.

I like the way Wallace Wattles puts it in “The Science of Getting Rich.” He said, “The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Therefore, it tends to become the best; it takes the form or character of the best and will receive the best.”

Many people express gratitude first thing in the morning or before going to bed at night. Well, here’s another time to express it: whenever you feel overwhelmed with problems.

You see, if you have challenges in your life that are dominating your thinking—a shortage of money, a business problem, a relationship problem—you will have a tendency to focus on the problem. And by doing that, you add energy to the problem. And then the problem grows.

The next time things don’t seem to be going your way, just stop what you’re doing, and think about all of the things you have to be grateful for. I know that’s a pretty tall order, but if you do it, everything will start to shift in an instant. Just like snapping your fingers. When you change the way you look at the problems, the problems will change.

I gave Sandy similar advice a while back…

I had done a seminar in Phoenix and Sandy was going through a rough time in her life. I was leaving town and she asked if we could grab a cup of coffee before I flew out.

So we went to a coffee shop, and she asked if I could give her a few ideas to help her maintain a positive attitude. I said sure, and then I picked up a napkin and grabbed a pen. On the top of the napkin, I wrote: Every morning think of ten things that you are grateful for.

Then, I said, “When you get finished writing the ten things down, send love to three people who are bothering you.”

Now most people have difficulty doing that. If someone is really bothering them, they send bad energy to that person. Don’t do that, send love to them—not for the other person’s sake, but for yours. Sending love puts you in a wonderful vibration that will attract good things to you.

The third thing I told Sandy to do was to be quiet for five minutes and ask for guidance for the day.

Sandy wasn’t sure that it would work, but she did it anyway—and it worked. I knew it would work because gratitude shifts our energy to what’s good, and that attracts more of what you want.

Gina, my executive assistant, created a daily gratitude exercise of the tips I provided to Sandy. We recently shared this exercise with the PGI team, and now we’re sharing it with you as something you can use to attract more good things into YOUR life.

Just print this form and do this gratitude exercise every day. I guarantee your life will shift.

Get a BIG Idea and Get Motivated! with Bob Proctor

I don’t think of myself as a motivational speaker because…

Motivating others to achieve their dreams is unsustainable.

It’s easy to get people excited when they attend an event, watch a video, or read a book. But that kind of enthusiasm doesn’t last long enough to create real change.

To me, real motivation involves a commitment to doing the ongoing work that will be necessary to manifest the goal. A person must have a fire that’s fuelled from the inside, not from me or any external source, to generate that kind of commitment.

The truth is each one of us has so much power and ability that we shouldn’t need anyone or anything outside of ourselves to motivate us.

Right this very moment, you have all the tools within you that are needed to access your infinite potential, to evolve your dreams into reality, and to live a life of extraordinary design. All that’s required to light a fire inside you is a marvellous idea lodged in your mind.

Self-motivation is a cornerstone of true wealth. But to achieve it, you must…

Stop doing this

Sometimes our dreams are so big that we think they must be impossible. So, we may doubt our ability to make them come true. Or we think we’re foolish for even harbouring such hopes.

Stop doing that.

Because here’s the truth about you…

As humans, we have the remarkable ability to transform all we imagine into reality. If a deep desire lives in your heart, a path exists to bring it to life.

NOTHING is too extraordinary for you to achieve. If you can dream it, you can be or do it.

From nowhere to now here

I’ve been at this for a very long time, and there are many ways I can help you.

I can teach you how your mind functions.

I can help you improve the quality of your life.

And I can show you how to take any idea that’s in your heart from “nowhere” to “now here.”

But I can’t help you be excited to get going each morning. You’ve got to do that on your own.

How?

You’ve got to become personally involved with your dream and make it a priority. As long as it’s the right dream, you’ll be passionate about doing “your work” each day. You’ll know it’s the right goal if it gives you chills when you think about it.

Listen, I’m pushing 83 years old, and with all my accomplishments, I still can’t wait to get up and get going on my current goal each day.

It doesn’t matter where you are; you are nowhere compared to where you can go. As long as you’re alive, you are capable of being or doing anything you can visualize. It’s never, ever, ever too late to begin something great.

To your success,

Bob Proctor
