On Wednesday morning I attended an awards breakfast for the Keller Williams Park Meadows market center for which Benchmark Property Advisors is an affiliate team. There are so many great people associated with the office and I was looking forward to having a great time and meaningful conversations. What I did not know was this event would be both affirming and transforming for my business and life.
The Market Center Leader Debbie Steele and one of her top Realtors and team leaders Katy Stuart, decided to show present the film "The Secret" http://www.thesecret.tv/ as part of the event. I had heard very little about the film and book previously, but I was familiar with the truths found within its pages. The Secret is a concept that I have known to be true and that has been a conscious part of my life for more than a decade. I did not fully understand how the Secret worked and why it worked until seeing the film.
The Secret is the law of attraction and it is working at all times for all people whether you are conscious of this fact or not. It impacts every outcome in the universe both good and bad and you can actively participate in creating the outcomes you desire once you tap into the power of the law of attraction - the Secret.
This is not a "self God" or anti-faith message. I am a reborn Christian and look to Christ for my salvation. It is a faith message for which the essence can be found in the Bible and in historical records dating back to the creation of our world. Many of the greatest philosophers and thought leaders have been aware and utilized the Secret throughout history.
In the mid-nineties I had gone through a divorce and I had literally walked away from every material possession I owned including a house in a desirable area in Denver, furnishings, etc. In all, fourteen years of accumulation of wealth, friendships and lifestyle. As you might imagine I was left with a very clean slate and an opportunity to rediscover myself and construct a new chapter in my life.
A very good friend had just attended a women's brunch to celebrate the New Year at the home of a doctor in Boulder, Colorado; who presented the women in attendance with poster boards, stacks of magazines, scissors and glue. The exercise was to think about what they wanted their lives to look like and create a mural using pictures and words clipped from the magazines. It was important to include the words "thank you" on the board and they were instructed to place the finished work somewhere in their home where it would be seen everyday. When my friend shared this with me, I decided to try this for myself and created the perfect life in words and pictures and I hung the board on my bedroom closet.
Within two years I had achieved the majority of what was represented on my vision board, many of which had been achieved in the first year. These were not small items on a wish list they were major life changing desires of all types from material wants, to relationships, business goals, personal goals, trips, political influence, etc. I focused on getting back into horses and spectating at major equestrian events at Spruce Meadows and I achieved it. I needed and dreamed of getting a new car and I found an incredible deal on a Mercedes. I wanted to become a person of influence in the Denver arts and political scene to benefit the lives of others and I achieved it. I wanted to be placed in a position to earn a certain income and new business opportunities appeared in my life. I wanted to be a better son to my parents and suddenly we were getting together weekly. I could go on and on. I still have that vision board and I am amazed every time I look at it and recognized the outcome of the exercise.
I have always been aware that we attract into our lives both good and bad the reality of what we focus upon. I am just now begging to understand that by harnessing the power of these intentions we can tap into the law of attraction and play an active role in creating our present lives and future reality.
I wanted to share this experience with you because I believe that your discovery of the Secret will transform your real estate career and your life as a whole.
How to use the Secret:
Step 1: Ask - The universe responds to your thoughts both conscious and subconscious. Create the habit of controlling your thoughts and summon the law of attraction by focusing on what you want, not what you do not want.
Step 2: Believe - Believe that what you want is already yours. Claim it! It is not important that you know how it will happen, only that it will happen. Replace doubt with an unwavering faith that it will happen.
Step 3: Receive - Immediately begin to feel good about what you want, even though it may not have manifested itself in your life at this moment. Make it personal and tap into what it feels like to already have achieved the goal that you have placed in the universe.
Important tips concerning the Secret:
Live with an attitude of gratitude. Start by making a list of everything you are grateful for in your life.
How, is the domain of the universe. Just focus on the result and how you will look and feel once the objective is achieved.
Make a habit of using the law of attraction. By focusing on what you want, the people, circumstances and opportunities will begin to appear in your life and your answers will unfold.
When you have inspired thoughts, act on them. The universe responds to action.
Share the Secret. The more people in your lives that know and understand the Secret, the more their energy will help to create the outcomes you desire as their lives intersect with yours.

Make a list of everything that you are grateful for in your life.
Create a dream board as I had previously described and look at it every day. It is important that you include the words "thank you" as part of the work.
I hope this adds value to your life. I assure you from my personal experience that if you apply these principles your life will change. If you already have a great life, it will get even better. If you are not living the life you truly want to be living; knowing the Secret and directing your intentions will transform your life.
