My client’s subject line in her email to me was–You won’t believe it! But she was wrong. After listening to Earl Nightingale’s gold-record-winning tape called The Strangest Secret many years ago, I’ve become a believer. I’m never surprised when I hear that what you’ve put out into the Universe comes back to you.

First there was this client’s email above. I had asked her if teaching art was something she had considered as an alternate income stream. As she put it, “If the opportunity fell into my lap…” she would take it. Not 24 hours later she sent me the message that she had received a call from someone wanting oil painting classes.

I’ve mentioned that I’m taking Rebecca Morgan’s webinar called Making Money in Your Jammies. A long-time friend and colleague is also taking the sessions. She told me in a phone conversation yesterday after our class that she’d been wanting to figure out a way to re-purpose her articles and blog postings. She had made the decision to enroll in some class situation, came home from being out a couple of weeks ago and saw my blogpost about Rebecca’s class. She immediately signed up.

Another client of mine had been seeking a photography adventure. I asked her what the ultimate adventure would look like. She named her favorite periodical, the one she would think she died and went to heaven if she could ever be associated with. I suggested she do some research and find out how to submit to that magazine. Lo and behold, in her online meanderings, she found a photography expedition being offered by them. It was exactly the opportunity she had envisioned.

Where you put your mental, emotional and spiritual energy will influence what shows up for you in life every day. Say out loud, to yourself or someone you trust, what you really want. You can do this annually or daily. The work is coming up with what excites and energizes you and having the courage to speak it.

Although it takes an hour for Earl Nightingale to reveal the Strangest Secret, I’ll shortcut it for you. The strangest secret is also The Secret, based on the Law of Attraction: we become what we think about. Your mind is so powerful that when you get a clear picture of what it is that you want (or don’t want–so be verrry careful), you will attract exactly that into your life. Verbalizing it, writing it down, and holding it in your consciousness is what helps bring it into reality.

Do you have any examples of this you’d like to share?
