Key Concepts & Ideas

There are basic laws in this universe that we are governed by and they work for you if you know how to apply them.

We are like farmers:

We plant seeds, and the seeds we plant dictate the fruits we’re going to reap.

When you plant a seed in the earth, you must plant it properly.

If you don’t plant it properly, you will not have the harvest.

We must learn to define what we want.

We have a tendency is to visualize negative situations, because we live in a negative world. (negative news-driven)

People don’t want negative things in their life but they keep insisting on talking about them and they can paint the most beautiful picture of loss and lack.

(self-inflicting and self-enforcing negative thoughts, constant negative self-talk, …)

We are creators.

Nothing comes to us - everything comes through us, from us.

Everything in this world that happens to us, comes ‘from us here’, not ‘out there’.

We must take 100% responsibility.

Earl Shoaff on truly taking 100% responsibility for everything in our lives:

Everything that you have in your life is exactly what you designed.

And:

Everything we attract is what we are.

Everything that you have is the things that you’ve created.

Be careful about what you create.

We have to learn to (correctly and thoroughly) describe things.

You can change your life very quickly into everything wonderful.

You can have everything wonderful happening to you if you use these basic simple laws.

Through visualizing (and self-talk, and thoughts) you want to develop a positive attitude towards the things you want.

Too many people stop their dreams because they start thinking about the thing that is not necessary in order to have it.

We must know what we really want.

Most people are too afraid to define what they want in life.

When we plant that seed in the subconscious mind - and the thing is there, the goal is there, the dream is there - the things start working towards you.

Now, how would you act if you were really sure you wanted X?

How would you act if you really and truly wanted X?

If it was a strong desire in your life?

What would you like to be?

What type of person would you like to be?

You must learn to give - you’ll never have anything without giving first.

If I don’t want people to talk about me, I shouldn’t be talking about people.

Everything that I send out, I get back.

And:

Have a true visualization of what you want.

Do you know what you want in life?

What do you really want?

If you don’t know exactly what you want, you get the things that are left-over from the people who know what they want.

Everything you plant in your subconscious mind, you’re (eventually) going to reap.

If you want to be a happier person, define the type of person you would like to be.

Define it, pinpoint it, write it down.

Create a true vision of what you want.

Define your dream exactly.

Then get to work.

You’ll have miracles happen in your life.
