Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World of William Walker Atkinson
Don’t be so surprised to see my name under such a title. I understand that it is the complete opposite of everything I have written up until now. I suspect that it will not matter much to most of you, since you will most probably stumble upon this book without knowing who I am and what I may have written before.
This book represents a new part of me which I believe has been trying to get out for a very long time now. At least a few years, where I told myself I needed now to concentrate on more positive things, positive thinking, and as the expression goes, then maybe everything will become nicer in my life, I could find this most sought after freedom and happiness.
It is true that I cannot see how anything could ever make me happy if first I cannot see or even think about anything that could make me happy. It is also true that I could not find happiness if I am not even able to identify one thing in my life which could bring me happiness. And how to even feel free if all I can see is all that keeps me away from my freedom?
Is it perhaps that freedom is only something in the mind? Is it possible that you can manufacture within your own existence a feeling of being free, a feeling of happiness and wellbeing, simply by convincing yourself that it can be so? Is this all a psychological universe and it becomes what you project it to be, and via auto-hypnosis or drugs you will eventually find exactly what you have been looking for? Walking beside the garbage cans outside, the people shouting at one another like if there was no tomorrow, your soul destroying managers at work, whilst inside you are feeling absolute freedom, infinite happiness, infinite wisdom, with a perpetual smile on your face with flowers everywhere, all in your mind, while ignoring to witness all the destruction around you?
Your staff needs an attitude adjustment, or you have a really cranky, non-compliant patient. You know you should step up to the plate and say something, or the behavior will continue.
So why don’t you?
Because you’re like most of us… you’d rather set your hair on fire than face a confrontation.
In this presentation you will learn techniques to use to approach confrontation with an open heart and an inquiring mind, and will find that the difficult conversations are interesting, fun, and yield results.
Give examples of confrontations that you have avoided in the past, and the deleterious effect of non-confrontation
Describe confrontations that you have embraced, that lead to better than expected outcomes
Exercise techniques and skills to embrace confrontation in your practice
Create your culture of friendly confrontation for your office and develop an implementation strategy
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”. - C.G Jung
Self-discovery is simply finding or uncovering your own individuality in order to fulfil God’s purpose for your life.
As every electronic gadget is created to meet a specific need, so likewise is every human on the surface of the earth. God has created us to fill a particular spot, to dominate it with something he has deposited in us.
That is why this e-book is packaged to take you briefly on a journey of self-discovery, and I believe that by the time you will be concluding this journey, you will have an understanding God’s original plan for you, who you are and why you are created. You will begin to manifest excellence in your life.
Enjoy!

This module discusses developing passion and finding what you love. It begins by stating that passion comes naturally over time through experiences and that students shouldn't stress about finding their passion. The document recommends being open-minded and trying different activities without preconceived notions of what passion should look like. Case studies are presented of people who found their passions changed or took different forms than initially expected. The conclusion emphasizes finding fulfillment and respecting yourself over an idealized concept of passion.
The document provides 10 steps to help one live their best life. The steps include being real, truthful, in charge of oneself, aware, responsible for one's experiences, energized, loving, compassionate, masterful of opportunities, and being the change one seeks. Managing stress involves accepting what cannot be controlled, avoiding stressors, expressing feelings, adapting, having a positive attitude, being assertive not aggressive, practicing relaxation techniques, getting rest, and seeking social support. Reading is important for knowledge but schools do not always emphasize it well. Parents should read to children and encourage reading to improve lives. Life has hard times but also beautiful matters, so one should enjoy time and make oneself and others happy.

The document discusses cognitive distortions, or thinking patterns, that can negatively impact one's beliefs and perceptions. It defines several common cognitive distortions such as all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, jumping to conclusions, labeling oneself, and emotional reasoning. Examples are provided for each distortion to illustrate how distorted thinking works. The goal is to help identify these thinking traps and replace them with more realistic perspectives.
Here are a few lessons we can learn from this story:
- Don't limit yourself based on how you were raised or what others expect of you. You have untapped potential within.
- Believe in yourself and your abilities more than what others say about you or how you've been conditioned to think.
- Stretch beyond your comfort zone and perceived limitations. You may be capable of far more than you realize.
- Look to role models who exemplify a higher standard of excellence and be inspired to reach those heights yourself. Don't settle for less than what you were truly meant for.
Discovery takes letting go of the “shoulds,” which I find highly detrimental. After years of being who we think we should be, we can bury who we really are so deep that we don’t even know anymore. We do it for other people: parents, friends, teachers, bosses, etc...
Cognitive distortions are the everyday errors that we make in translating the thoughts, ideas, and things we see around us, using words. These are 10 of the top cases of distorted thinking that we have all made, at one time or another. melaniecgallo.com

Achievers measure their progress against goals, not others, and maintain a can-do spirit despite difficulties. With determination and by paying the price through hard work, dreams can become reality.
3) Ultimately, you are in charge of your own life and destiny. Past circumstances no longer determine your future if you choose to respond proactively
The document provides guidance on maintaining inner peace and composure when facing difficulties or reacting to others.

Rajan suggests that if the options presented don't appeal to Pranjal, he must find a ninth path that is right for him in order to live a meaningful life and avoid having his choices dictated by others or circumstances.
How to discover yourself ! Give yourself some alone time, seek out a passion, and find a mentor. Change your perspective and let go of negative thoughts
I’ve received multiple emails from readers sharing what triggers their self-criticism. Self-criticism can be one of the most MASSIVE obstacles to tackle, because it underlies everything. What you’re telling yourself will determine the way you feel, the behaviors and actions you take and the words you say to others. Your “invisible scripts” shape your experience of your world. They are the paintbrushes on your life canvas (ok, that was slightly cheesy, but you get the point).

2. NEGATIVE EMOTION TREE
• The trunk of the tree is the tendency to blame other people.
• Stop blaming other people and making excuses.
• Stop blaming your parents.
• Bad relationships.
• When you blame other people, you give your power away. High energy comes
when you think very positively about your possibilities.
• Anytime you blow off steam, get pissed off, or if u use a lot of emotional energy
throughout the day, the less energy you have to use on the things you want to spend it
on.
• There are no failures in life, there is only feedback.
• Is it about the person? Is it about the situation?
3. DEFINITION OF A FULLY-FUNCTIONING PERSON
• Take very little value in the opinions of others.
• “I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to.”
• “I do it because I choose to do it.”
• I can do anything I put my mind to and I don’t have
to do anything I don’t want to. And I can do it.

7. FEARS OF FAILURE
• “Hey, I can do that.”
• Tell everyone that they can do whatever they
set their mind to. The more you believe others
can do it, the more you believe YOU can do it.

“ On vacation recently I was reading this book by [physicist and
Nobel laureate] Richard Feynmann. He had cancer, you know.
In this book he was describing one of his last operations
before he died. The doctor said to him, ‘Look, Richard, I'm
not sure you're going to make it.’ And Feynmann made the
doctor promise that if it became clear he wasn't going to
survive, to take away the anesthetic. Do you know why?
Feynmann said, ‘I want to feel what it's like to turn off.’ That's
a good way to put yourself in the present--to look at what's
affecting you right now and be curious about it even if it's
bad.

The only one that can prove them right or wrong is you.
I am the only one holding myself back.
Am I willing to get past the wall or is it going to stop me?
Those brick walls signify how bad you want something.
Am I willing to see my endeavor through to the end?
In reality, it is all up to you.

your money, who you spend your time with.

23. From The Discourses Of Epictetus:
That A Man Should Be One Man.
Consider these things-
Whether you are willing at such a price to gain
freedom, peace, and an untroubled spirit.
And if not, then attempt it not, nor, like a child, play
now the philosopher, then the tax gatherer, then the
orator, then the Procurator of Caesar.
For these things agree not among themselves; and,
good or bad, it behooves you to be one man.
You should be perfecting either ruling your own ruling
faculty or your outward well-being; spending your art
either on the life within or the life without; that is to
say, you must hold your place either among the sages
or the vulgar.
24. going small is ignoring all the things you could do and
doing
what you should do.
25. • Be Fabulously Well Dressed For The Occasion
• Code Of Conduct For The Occasion
26. FROM THE DISCOURSES OF EPICTETUS
THAT A MAN SHOULD BE ONE MAN.
So you wish to conquer the Olympic games? And I, too, by the
Gods; and a fine thing it would be. But mark the preferences
and the consequences, and then set to work.
You must go under discipline, eat by rule, abstain from
dainties, exercise yourself at the appointed hour, in heat or
cold, whether you will or no, drink nothing cold, now wine at
will; in a word: you must give yourself over to the trainer as
to a physician.
Then in the contest itself there is the digging race, and you are
likely enough to dislocate your wrist, or turn your ankle, to
swallow a great deal of dust, to be soundly drubbed, and after
all these things to be defeated.
If having considered all these things, you are still in mind to
enter for the contest, then do so.
But without consideration you will turn from one thing to
another like a child, who now plays the wrestler, now the
gladiator, now sounds the trumpets, then declaims like an
actor; and so you, too, will be first an athlete, then a gladiator,
then an orator, then a philosopher, and nothing with your
whole soul; but as an ape you mimic everything you see, and
be charmed with one thing after another.
For you approached nothing with consideration nor
regularity, but rashly, and with a cold desire.
And thus some men, having seen a philosopher, and heard
discourse like that of Euphrates desire that they may also
become philosophers.
But, O man! Consider first what it is you are about to do, and
then inquire of your own nature whether you can carry it out.
Will you be a Pentathlos, or a wrestler? Then, scan your arms
and thighs; try your loins. For different men are made of
different ends.
Think you, you can be a sage, and continue to eat and drink
and be wrathful and take offense just as you were wont?
Nay, but you must watch and labor and withdraw yourself
from your household, and be despised by any serving boy,
and be ridiculed by your neighbors, and take the lower place
everywhere, in honors, in authority, in courts of justice, in
dealings of every kind.
30. Four Disciplines of Execution
1. Identify top goals and priorities. Be very clear.
2. If it isn’t working, you haven’t bought into the goals.
You aren’t emotionally connected.
How to get Really Good at Anything
1. Set a clear and well defined outcome. Use sensory
and behavioral based description, and clearly
state “when I do this, I’ll get that.”
• Define the SCOPE (breakdown into task
composition)
2. Find someone who’s already done it. Save from
trial and error. Find the essential aspects of what
they needed to succeed.
3. Immerse yourself. Practice in core areas.
4. Reveal progress regularly. Identify what’s working.

66. “When you win, you don't examine it very much, except to
congratulate yourself. You easily, and wrongly, assume it
has something to do with your rare qualities as a person.
But winning only measures how hard you've worked and
how physically talented you are; it doesn't particularly
define you beyond those characteristics.
Losing on the other hand, really does say something about
who you are. Among other things it measures are: do you
blame others, or do you own the loss? Do you analyze your
failure, or just complain about bad luck?
If you're willing to examine failure, and to look not just at
your outward physical performance, but your internal
workings, too, losing can be valuable. How you behave in
those moments can perhaps be more self-defining than
winning could ever be. Sometimes losing shows you for
who you really are.”

It will expand forever,

88. Take risks, and expect to make lots of mistakes, because creativity is a numbers
game.
Work hard, and take frequent breaks, but stay with it over time. Do what you
love, because creative breakthroughs take years of hard work.
Develop a network of colleagues, and schedule time for freewheeling,
unstructured discussions. Most of all, forget those romantic myths that
creativity is all about being artsy and gifted and not about hard work. They
discourage us because we’re waiting for that one full-blown moment of
inspiration. And while we’re waiting, we may never start working on what we
might someday create.
89. 1. Keep things flat. Out of sight, out of mind holds true for
information. Avoid nesting information. Keep it flat and
simple where you can. Think in terms of iTunes or a

“ “Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and
living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with
its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the
reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart.
You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that
you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes
near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples
falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell
yourself you tasted as many as you could.

“Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is
