Do Communication Skills Play A Role In Attracting Miracles?

30 Jul

Hi my friend!

The short answer to that question is “of course”!

Watch the video below to find out what I mean.

Facebook Users : Please click here to view the video.

I believe that communication skills are the most important skills you need to attract miracles in your life.

However, what I didn’t mention in the video is this :

Communication skills only amplify your vibration, they do not create it.

Let me explain.

As you already know, you can only attract things, people and events into your life that you are in vibrational resonance with.

Your vibration (feelings) will be transmitted to others as you interact with them.

After reading “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell, the thing I’ve realized is that we all subconsciously register other people’s vibrations within seconds.

So, even before you speak, people can already sense your intention.

Here’s what I love to do before, during and after speaking to someone.

I use one of my secret weapons, Ho’oponopono!

Instead of saying all 4 phrases, I just keep saying “I love you” in my head over and over and over again and it increases my vibration dramatically =)

Anyways, here’s something interesting from Gladwell’s Blink :

One of the studies cited in the book involves the ability to look at couples talking about mundane events (like discussing the decision to get a dog – how more mundane can it get?!) and determining with over 90% accuracy whether they will be together for the rest of their lives.

And here’s the weird part :

The expert could tell this within watching a “thin-sliced” 3 minute-video of the couple talking!

This really piqued my curiosity, so I read on.

And I found out that the expert could tell because he has looked at hundreds of such videos and painstakingly analyzed every second of it.

He has been doing this for so long that his subconscious mind could now easily pick it up with precision within just a few minutes.

And after a while he found out what he was looking for in these conversations that signals a relationship that won’t last.

Do you want to know what it is?

Maybe it could help your relationships.

I know it certainly did mine.

One word.

Contempt.

Contempt is an intense feeling or attitude of regarding someone or something as inferior, base, or worthless—it is similar to scorn.

If one of the partners were to be contemptuous to the other, even if he or she was joking, the relationship is almost certainly to come to one end – separation.

That, my friend, is why one of my mentors, Joel Bauer says, “Your Ego isn’t your Amigo.”

Anyways, even before I knew about this, I have always been lifting people’s spirits up and empowering them to leading greater lives =)

How about you, my friend?

Are you being contemptuous to your partner or friends?

If you are, it’s time to do something about it!

Start saying “I love you” in your head to the next person you talk to… and be amazed at what happens!

Can Your Conscious Mind Impress Other Minds?

22 Jul

As you may already know, the power of the subconscious mind is simply astonishing and once you’ve developed the power of your subconscious mind and the conscious mind, I believe you’ll agree with me that’s when the magic starts happening.

Recently, the issue of how conscious minds can impress other minds and our own subconscious minds has cropped up. You see, in my Inspired Action Coaching Program, one of the guiding texts I use is The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel and recently, one of my beloved clients, Flora told me her concern about this line :

“Not only can it (the conscious mind) impress other minds, but it can direct the subconscious mind.”

She doesn’t agree with it, so I showed her this video :

Facebook Users : Please click here to watch the video.

Interesting, don’t you think?

Here’s Flora’s concern…

NO one can impress others minds!

For other minds to be impressed, they have to willingly and consciously
accept the “impressions”.

In fact if this was true, we would be running around doing other’s wills and would not be responsible for whatever situation we are in, which you know is not so. We are responsible for what we are, do, etc.

She still believes that the conscious mind cannot impress other minds.

I, on the other hand believe the opposite and my evidence is what happened in this video.

Here’s my case :

I believe that we cannot impress other minds consciously.

However, if we are able to find a way to bypass others’ conscious minds and send the message straight to the subconscious mind, the non-judgmental subconscious mind will accept it as true and…

Indeed, “we would be running around doing other’s wills”

Here’s where I would love to hear your opinion, my friend.

What’s your take on this issue? Please leave me a comment below and I’ll put your response with the others’ together to form a coherent conclusion.

Oprah Winfrey’s 2008 Stanford Commencement Address

14 Jul

If you follow Oprah Winfrey on her show, you’d know that this beautiful woman is also a huge advocate of the Law of Attraction.

And in this Stanford Commencement Speech, Oprah Winfrey’s paradigm on life is definitely in line with what I’ve been trying to get across to the world.

Watch it below:


For the full 30 minute video, please click here

I got a few takeaways from this short excerpt that I feel could be given a little more elaboration.

1) Life Whispers & If You Ignore It You’ll Get A Scream.

In my book, “The Law of Inspired Action” that you can download for free here, I mentioned that both of us are able to connect to the Universal Mind and if only we follow the inner nudges, our lives would be so much easier.

And like Oprah said, “Life whispers and if you ignore it you’ll get a scream”.

Very accurate.

Let me share with you my “scream” that happened about 5 months ago.

I came home exhausted.

I put my bag down and I remember that I have a soccer match in 3 hours time.

Everything in my heart told me not to go.

But I still went ahead with it.

1 hour into the game, I tore my Achilles tendon that left me bed-ridden for a good 3 months.

So, I asked myself, “Why did I attract this into my life?”

And I thought that the answer was because so that I can expand my online business.

2) The Scream – Part Two

Today, I found out that’s only part of the reason.

The lesson re-appeared to me today wearing another pair of pants, as Oprah said.

I had an Asthma attack that left me gasping for a good 4 hours.

So, “What is this here to teach me?”

To take breaks and not push myself too hard because it will only lead to a physical breakdown.

I know you might have heard me say I’ve learnt this before but l guess I never truly did.

And as we both know, the School of Life will serve you the same lessons again and again until you pass the test.

I’ll probably have to write something into my morning daily affirmations to remind me of it.

3) The Big Question – How Do I Recognize Life’s Whisper?

In the last few months, I have discovered that The Law of Inspired Action is the one law that has made the biggest difference in my life.

And people have asked me that difficult question :

“How do I recognize an Inspired Idea?”

I couldn’t answer it then.

But now, I’ll try to answer it.

An Inspired Idea :

1) Has the Universal Collective in mind (i.e the community) instead of just your needs

That’s the difference between Inspiration & the Ego-sanction.

2) Will be converted into Inspired Action which is easy, fun and impactful.

If the action you take feels dreary, it’s most probably not an Inspired Action.

But sometimes, it’s just your counter-intentions holding you back.

So, how do you know which is which?

3) Nudges you to take Inspired Action now!

If you take Inspired Action the second you get that Inspiration and it feels fun and easy, but only later on feels dreary, it means that it was an Inspiration but your counter-intentions are blocking that Source Energy.

So what you need to do now is get rid of those counter-intentions through Ho’oponopono or Emotional Freedom Technique.

4) Comes from a place of service

Like Oprah Winfrey said, when you operate from the paradigm of service, it turns everything you do from a job into a gift.

That’s exactly what Inspired Action is all about.

When you help others create abundance in their lives in one shape or form while coming from a place of service, it doesn’t take much work on your part.

And it becomes a gift to others.

And in the process as a wise man once said:

“The beauty of this life is that you can’t help others without helping yourself in the process.”

So, what will you do to help yourself, my friend?

If you’re like most people, you wouldn’t know where to start.

I’m going to give you one tip that I gave to a coaching client last week.

If you decided to FULLY live your life, what’s the first change you would make?

What would be a small step in that direction?

Muhammad Ali’s Secret To Becoming The Greatest

12 Jul

Imagine that you and I are now in 1964.

You and I are both wearing what people in the 60′s wore and just for the fun of it, let’s imagine that we’re in a black and white television world.

We have never heard of Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali’s name before he became a Muslim)

And we’re about to hear him speak. Let’s listen in :

We have just heard him recite this poem with vigor and enthusiasm.

“What do you think of him?”, you ask me.

I don’t know about you but after listening to that, I believe him.

I was entertained but I also bought into what he was selling me – his vision.

Here’s a 22 year-old kid who’s going to challenge Sonny Liston and believes that he will be the Heavyweight Champion of the World.

I don’t know if he’s going to win since they’ve given Sonny 7-1 odds of winnng the match but I like his character and determination, so I’ll put my money on him.

STOP!

All right, let’s come back to 2008.

History reveals that Cassius Clay defeated Sonny Liston and went on to become the greatest boxer and in my opinion, one of sport’s greatest living legends.

So, do you want to know his secret?

Before I tell you that, I just want to tell you that sure, I’ve heard of the name Muhammad Ali before and how greatness he was I never understood why…

Until I watched the movie “Ali” acted by Will Smith, which documented the living legend’s life.

And as much as Ali was a great boxer, I don’t believe he was the greatest in terms of ability.

However, he was the greatest because he always managed to bring down those better than him through the power of his mind.

More specifically, his mind-games.

What you have just witnessed is a very mild version of his mind games.

I’ll go more into that in a future post but for now, I intend to create my very own “I am the greatest speech” and make it into a video soon!

Look out for that! That’s going to be really fun!

It’s also a great visualization tool that I’m going to use since it really resonates with me =)

If you’d like to create your own and have some fun while co-creating your future, below are some tips.

How To Create Your Own “I Am The Greatest Speech”

I believe the power of Muhammad Ali’s speeches really come through because he makes others visualize what he wants to see manifest in his life.

And as a result, he gets people participating in his vision and as a result greater energy is driven into that vision, thus making almost every one of Ali’s predictions come through.

But he doesn’t do that by telling people, he does that by making it fun and memorable through the funny rhymes and situations intertwined with his ultimate vision (being the heavyweight champion of the world and consequently, the greatest.)

So here are the elements I noticed:

1) The Ultimate Vision Is Repeated

The ultimate vision of being the greatest is in the title, the ending and it is interspersed at appropriate junctures just as you begin to visualize with him.

This keeps reminding people of the ultimate vision and repetition will always get into the subconscious mind, which as we all know is where the magic of the law of attraction really happens.

2) Acting As If Principle

Notice how the first line is, “This is the legend of Cassius Clay”.

He didn’t say story because he wants to be a legend and that’s what he is right now.

How about, “A champion you can tell you kids to be like”?

Coincidence? Don’t think so!

3) Cocky Comedy

If you’ve heard of David DeAngelo you’d know that the term Cocky Comedy was taken from a pick-up book.

Here’s a great example from the video:

“I am so modest that I can admit my own fault.

My only fault is I don’t realize how great I really am.”

This is great!

In the Law of Inspired Action report, I revealed that I discovered that the best way to attract something is to have child-like wanting and curiosity of what will happen when you intend on receiving something from the Universe.

And I believe that’s what Ali is doing here.

Remember, the key to attracting what you want is being involved in the creation process but not so involved until you become attached to the outcome.

And the best way of letting go is to have child-like playful wanting.

Come on, you remember how you felt when you told your mom you wanted that toy and hoped you got it for your birthday!

4) Hypnotic Writing

I write the way I do because I learnt Joe Vitale’s Hypnotic Writing.

And Hypnotic Writing is all about leading you into a trance by doing two things.

1) Meeting you at where you are.

2) Slowly leading you to where I want you to go.

Ali did the same thing here.

He explains the situation of how the boxing world is at present :

“The fistic world was dull and weary.

With a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary”

And then he led you to where he wants you to go :

“Then someone of color, someone with dash

Brought fight fans a-running with cash”

After which he adds other elements to make him look like the hero of the poem.

5) Shared Visualization

Ali was smart in that he employed the word “you” to involve us in his visualization.

“And as you lie on the floor while the Ref counts 10

You pray that you won’t have to fight him again.”

Of course, this was directed to Sonny Liston and we all know that so this shared vision ultimately has a part in creating the eventual reality.

However, it’s also interesting to note how he also accomplishes to make us think of him in his desired way when we visualize ourselves in the ring with him.

6) The 3rd Person’s Perspective

I think among everything else, this is probably the best element he used to quickly elevate himself to the status of “The Greatest”.

If you’ve been through my Law of Attraction Inner Circle Coaching, you’d know that I shared the best way to manifest an intention on Day 3.

In it, I told the story of Jackie Robinson and how he managed to become a sporting legend :

“I committed to something BIGGER than myself.”

In a way, Ali was doing this as well when he referred to himself in the 3rd Person.

And I think it’s also interesting to note that he said this :

“I don’t ask what Boxing can do for me,

I ask what I can do for Boxing.”

This isn’t just a parody of what President Kennedy said, this is more of what I always do.

I don’t ask if I’m worthy of an intention.

I ask if this intention is something that’s worthy of me.

And that my friend is one of the biggest secrets of my success.

That last two lines alone could be worth a fortune to you…

If you use it.

So, what are you going to do my friend?

We Are One And We Are Love!

5 Jul

Hey there!

Today I have a lovely video for you!

It fills me with love and all those fuzzy feelings when I watched it =)

And I have a feeling it’s going to do the same for you!

I think this video exemplifies the best in the human race =)

I’ve watched it a full 3 times and I’m someone who doesn’t have a lot of time to spare.

Why?

Just a little update :

After the last E-mail I sent you, I received many more requests to get into my Inspired Action Coaching Program which brings the tally to 16 people.

Due to time constraints, I’m only able to work with 10.

And so far, I’ve only picked 8 and I can’t seem to decide on the last 2!

You know, it’s true what Wallace D. Wattles said…

“When abundance comes to you, it will come so fast and furiously that you’ll be wondering where it’s been hiding all these years.”

Okaaay, I might have changed his words a little bit here and there *winks*

P.S. If you’re new here, you might want to take a look at the Free Inspired Action Coaching Program resources here.

P.P.S. I just found out that my friend Evelyn just posted the same video on her blog at the Attraction Mindmap here! I highly recommend that you check out her blog posts there! It’s full of wisdom! =)

SaiF Goes To Town Feeling Law of Attraction Rich!

1 Jul

Hey my friend!

There is a Science of Getting Rich as Wallace D. Wattles once said and…

Today has got to be one of the best Sundays I ever had!

And as I was experiencing these lovely moments, I wanted to make sure I could share the love with you so the moment I attracted these moments I immediately took out my camera phone and started snapping away!

All right, let’s start with what happened first!


“Darn! I Really Look Goofy In This one!”

But wouldn’t you look goofy if you receive a check in the mail from Google?

Yes, it finally arrived! The check I’ve been waiting for! I’ve finally manifested myself some cold hard cash!!!

Here’s the best part : I believe I was sending out good vibrations into The Universe which was why I received a call from my Aunty who was treating my mom and I a buffet for lunch at the Holiday Inn! Gosh! I was going to a hotel!


“I’m Feeling REALLY RICH!”

This was taken at the grand hotel lobby that was sparkled with Golden colours all over the place!

If you were hoping to see me take some photos of myself eating, sorry!

When I heard that it was a buffet, I didn’t eat breakfast, so you know what happened when I reached the restaurant!

You should have been there! I was greeted by a Chocolate Fountain and rows of Chocolate cakes sprinkled with Pecans & Nuts! Wow!

Anyways, it’s not often that I eat at a hotel (I think I’ve only been to 5 in my lifetime – 2 prom nights, 2 weddings and today!) so as you may know, they serve these little delicate dishes with odd names.

Being the adventurer that I am, I tried everything and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING!

And finally, with a few scoops of Durian (Google it!) Ice Cream sprinkled with Caramel, Chocolate Chips and Pecans & Nuts (basically every topping they had) I ended my sinful lunch! =)

By this time, with all that food in my tummy and the check from Google I was feeling really happy!

Which is why I decided to head down to my friendly neighbourhood Parkway Parade Shopping Centre to buy something that will remind me of this wonderful day, and I bought…


“My RED HOT Basketball Sneakers To Go With SaiF Improvement!”

As you may already know, I love RED! If you didn’t, just look around!

And I’ve always wanted Basketball Sneakers!

So, I didn’t really care that they cost almost half the price of what Google sent to me and HEY!

I didn’t have that money in the first place, so it’s really more of a gift from the Universe than anything else!

I’m so happy and grateful for today and I look forward to tomorrow!

Oh by the way, speaking of tomorrow…

In the next 3 months, these people are going to make their first $1000 online with me :

1) Flora
2) Jerry & Nina
3) Ryana
4) Antony
5) Bill
6) Jussi
7) Sharon

And they’re going to be receiving checks in the mail just like I am today!

I still have 3 spots left if you’re interested in joining us create a life of Financial Abundance using the Law of Attraction and the power of the Internet!
