Very few human beings realize the latent potential they have to alter their own lives. They walk in blindness, complaining about outside forces - debt, bad relationships, lack of opportunity - while staying clueless to the power they already possess, the power that can alter their current reality.

The much-revered Indian saint, Vivekananda, who lived over 100 years ago - explained it beautifully...

All the powers in the universe are already ours.
It is we who have put our hands before our eyes
and then cry that it is dark.

We are what our thoughts have made us;
so take care about what you think.
Words are secondary.
The thoughts live, they travel far.

When an idea exclusively occupies our mind,
it is transformed into an actual physical
or mental state.

We reap what we sow.
We are the makers of our own fate.
None else has the blame, none has the praise.

There is no help for you outside of yourself,
you are the creator of the universe.
Like a silkworm
you have built a cacoon around yourself...
Burst your own cacoon
and come out as the beautiful buterfly,
as the free soul.

Then you alone will see Truth.

In one word, this ideal is that you are devine.
God sits in the temple of every human body.
         -Swami Vivekananda 1863-1902

You are DEVINE.
This is the core message in Vivekananda's words

So the Big Question is:

How Then, Do We Begin to Get Ourselves out of Our Current Situation and Claim the Abundance We Seek?

The Law of Attraction...

Everything that's coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it's attracted by virtue of the images you're holding in your mind. It's what you're thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you.
you have a power within you that is far superior to any circumstance or situation around you – you have free will over what you want to think. And these are the very thoughts that are in charge of directing power to whatever you choose in your lifetime.

Now, here's the best part. There's a simple formula you should understand.
         Thought + Emotion = Attraction

What this formula means is that your thoughts, magnified by the EMOTIONS behind your thoughts equal the things that you attract into your life.

Emotions are powerful. Thinking about a goal that you're only half-excited about is not going to help you manifest that goal too fast. But think about a goal that really makes you excited...makes you weep with joy because the excitement of attaining it is so wonderful - NOW you're adding power to your thoughts and really using the Law of Attraction.

If your thoughts are a vehicle to move you towards your goal - your emotions are the fuel that power this vehicle.

So the good news is that your positive thoughts, because they excite you so much more and often have much more emotions attached to them - tend to be a lot more powerful than your negative thoughts.

So, it can be easier to attract the good than to attract the bad.,,it's all up to you. Remember, you create your reality.
