I started this blog on November 6, 2005, four years ago today.  I did it because SEO expert Brad Fallon and I spoke on a cruise ship where he said everyone needed a blog.

I was skeptical. I thought blogs were self-indulgent wastes of time. Brad said maybe so, but the search engines liked them. I listened, wrote a few brief blog posts, and caught the bug. I haven’t looked back since. I love writing my blog.

But the look and feel had to change over the years. A few years ago I left Blogger and installed WordPress. That’s been working fine until I heard Erica Douglass speak at Pat O’Bryan’s Unseminar 6. She’s a young, successful online entrepreneur with a popular blog. I listened, took notes, and implemented most of the changes she suggested within 24 hours.

There were still more changes to be made. That’s where Craig Perrine stepped in.

Craig is the coauthor (with me) of Inspired Marketing, and the man behind the Attract Miracles website. He completely redesigned  my blog’s look and feel. I loved it but we could never find the right moment to upload the new blog.

But then a hacker broke into my blog and completely wiped it out.

For at least two days I didn’t have a blog at all.

That’s when Craig told me, “Now’s the time to install your new blog.”

We did. And what you see here is my reincarnated blog.

There are numerous lessons here:

1. When the experts speak, listen. I listened to Brad . I listed to Erica. I listened to Craig.

2. Take action. When Brad told me to write a blog, I did — within a few days. When Erica told me to fix it, I did — within 24 hours. When Craig said the new blog was ready for upload, I said do it — instantly.

These are the very secrets you need to follow to achieve and attract the goals you want.

The thing is, most people won’t do the very things they know are right for them to do.

Why?

They fear change.

The known may not be ideal, but it’s comfortable. And we always like to be within our comfort zone.

I’m urging you to get a little uncomfortable and try something new.

Think about something you’ve been meaning to change — whether a blog or a life pattern — and take action to change it right now.

That’s how you reincarnate your life into something you prefer.

It can begin right now.

Ao Akua,

Joe

Years ago I wrote an article disapproving the NLP and hypnosis communication principle that people ignore the word “don’t” in a command. For example, “Don’t read this blog” is actually a command to read this blog, because the human mind doesn’t process the word “don’t”, at least according to NLP/hypnosis schooling.

Obviously, people are smarter than that. We learn what “don’t” and “no” mean when we are very young. When you learn accurate and advanced language patterns, as explained in my books Hypnotic Writing and Buying Trances, you can go beyond the basic misconceptions of communication.

Anyway, when I was in Krackow, Poland last month, Andrzej Batko and myself demonstrated the silliness of “don’t” in a short hilarious video Nerissa filmed. You can watch it by clicking on the below image. Better yet, don’t watch it right now.

Note: The article I wrote years ago on “don’t” thinking is at https://www.mrfire.com/article-archives/new-articles/do-not-read-this.html

Pat O’Bryan sent the following email to me today and I just had to share it with you. I’ll comment on it at the end, so don’t judge it too quickly…

From Pat:

Last night I was reading “The
Wisdom of Andrew Carnegie
as told to Napoleon Hill,”
and I noticed something –

Carnegie and Hill say to write
out your intention and put it
where you can see it – and it
can see you.

Well, they didn’t put the
“and it can see you” part
in there, but that’s because
they didn’t know about Hoshun.

http://secretrussianwishmaker.com

Physical, visible reminders of
our intentions are important.

It’s not magic, but it is magical
the way it works – by stating
our intention and putting up
reminders we’re telling ourselves –

and the world –

that we intend to achieve that
intention.

Napoleon Hill and Andrew Carnegie
understood this decades ago, and
it’s still true today.

It’s also universal.

http://secretrussianwishmaker.com

In Siberia, when someone has a wish, or
an intention, they use a Hoshun as a
physical, visible reminder to keep that
intention/wish in their consciousness.

You attract what you focus on –
Hoshun is a focusing tool.

And – to help you focus, when
you get your “lifetime supply”
of Hoshun intention/wish reminders,
you also get three complete
audios with all the benefits
of our Clearing Audios –

So you’ve got visual and
auditory support for making
that intention into a reality –

and making that wish
come true.

You can get your Secret
Russian Wishmaker and all
three audios right now at:

Go see what I’m saying –

thanks,

Pat O’Bryan

P.S. Wish for something big.

PPS – Bigger than that!

Does Hoshun work?

Can he help you achieve your intentions?

Or is it just a bunch of nonsense?

A friend of mine wrote a book on practical psychology where he encouraged you to pretend you were Superman and then go live your day.

He said to imagine you were wearing a big “S” on your chest, under your clothes.

He writes, “Tattoo Superman on your psyche and pretend you can leap tall barriers and before long you will.”

Why would he advise people to do that?

Isn’t it nuts?

After all, Superman isn’t real!

My psychologist friend knows that when you use a device — even a fictional character — to engage your mind, you tap into powers you have but rarely use.

This is so amazing that I’m even writing a book on how role-playing and role-playing games can help you attract all your heart’s desires.

I hope you get how powerful having a fun focusing device like Hoshun can be.

I’m so impressed with this character as a method for keeping my intentions in mind, that I bought coffee mugs and T-shirts with Hoshun on them.

I even have a bright yellow messenger bag with Hoshun on it.

I have Hoshun on my frig.

I have Hoshun in my wallet.

I have Hoshun as my mobile phone’s screen saver.

Every time I look at these items, I smile, and send a message to my unconscious to attract the intention into reality.

This isn’t much different than Dr. Hew Len, my coauthor of the famous Zero Limits book, advising people to use a Ceeport sticker to clean themselves or their space of negativity.

These mental aides work on a powerful psychological level.

Call it an improvement to Andrew Carnegie’s Money Attractor Secret.

Call it an improvement to Napoleon Hill’s Money Attractor Secret.

Call it Superman’s Money Attractor Secret.

Or —

Call it the best psychological aide for reminding yourself of your goal or intention.

Call it the coolest tool for making the Law of Attraction work for you.

Note: The psychologist who advised pretending you are Superman (or Superwoman) is Gene Landrum (who also invented Chuck E. Cheese pizza), and his book is called The Superman Syndrome. See  http://www.genelandrum.com/superman.html

Recently a close friend suddenly and completely severed our relationship.

It was shocking because it was so unexpected and so radical.

He offered no explanation, didn’t return my emails, and slammed the door on a five-year wonderful relationship.

It made me wonder what was going on in my friend’s life for him to act like this. Not only was it unnecessary, as a simple phone or in-person meeting could have cleared up whatever was bothering him, his action also severed a long term business relationship. I was planning to come out with new products I’d create with his help. This is wealth he’ll now miss out on receiving, as I can always do the products with someone else.

I told another friend about this troubling experience and he said, “It’s simply your turn.”

My turn?

He went on to explain that the friend who turned against me had gotten mad at virtually every close friend over the years, including the one I was talking to.

As I thought about it, I realized this was a self destruction or self sabotage pattern.

Whenever things hit some sort of internal button, my old friend hit a switch inside his brain and flipped out. He’s been mad at every single mutual friend we have. Apparently it really is my turn.

I thought about this and wondered why we don’t see our self-destruct patterns, or if we do, interrupt them and stop them.  It made me wonder about self sabotage and self destruction in myself and others.

I was in Krakow, Poland as I lay awake one night and reflected on all this. My mind was digging into the psychological motivations for acting out self destruction. After what seemed like hours I came to the conclusion that we don’t see our patterns while we’re in them. We only see them later, after the dust has settled and we can see clearly again. At that point, shame and regret often kick in.

But why don’t we see the pattern as it’s happening?

I remember an attorney once telling me that the human machine isn’t wired to admit fault. We will simply find it easier to blame others.

I also remember Dr. Hew Len, my coauthor for Zero Limits, saying that none of us want to take responsibility for what occurs. It’s too hard. Or said the other way, it’s just so easy to point fingers at others.

I asked Andrzej Batko (pictured above with me), an NLP master trainer and the wonderful man who brought me to Poland (twice so far) to hold Law of Attraction events in Warsaw, what he thought about self-destruction.

“It’s a mind trick,” he said. “I don’t usually see the self sabotage pattern in myself until after it’s over. If I’m aware, I can start to catch it before I repeat it.”

What can we do about this trick of the mind?

There appears to be two ways to stop self destruction or self sabotage:

1. Awareness. When you’re aware of a pattern, you can begin to interrupt it with a new behavior or insight so you don’t repeat it. This takes work. One book that can help is Why Is This Happening to Me …Again? by Michael Ryce.  My own book, The Key, is also useful. Also, my Awakening Course can be the turning point for you.

2. Coaching. When you have a skilled coach to help reflect your behavior and thoughts back to you, you can more easily escape the unconscious spiral of self-destruction. If you don’t mind the plug, I suggest you check out the Joe Vitale Miracles Coaching program. It’s been helping thousands of people for more than four years now.

How important is coaching?

On the way to see the Leopard sports car, a hand made limited edition roadster made in Poland, I met a man who took all the money he made in one year and gave it to a coach for one year of training.

Consider that: he took an entire year’s wages to get one year of weekly coaching. He said this transformed his life. He’s now a successful, self-employed entrepreneur.

My friend with the self-destruct pattern of getting mad at friends will have to find his way out of the maze. I’ll continue to love him, clean on the experience with ho’oponopono, and monitor my own life for any signs of the mind trick that stops most of us from the success we truly want to attract.

Meanwhile, reflect on the patterns in your own life.

It may truly be time for a change.

Ao Akua,

Joe

I was so busy in Russia that I didn’t get to send all the tweets I wanted. Here are some of the ones I wanted to send but didn’t:

In Russia First Class travelers get on the plane last. I like it. Feels like the entire plane waited for me.

In Russia VIP travelers skip customs and get escorted through a special VIP area. Quick and easy entry.

Landed in Russia but no one could get off plane until every one had temperature taken to see if we had swine flu.

Russian coffee is instant coffee. You have to ask for “bean” to get stronger coffee.

Moscow has an underground bomb shelter for 300,000. But city has 15,000,000 people.

Russians generally don’t eat after 7 pm to stay slim.

I’m signing rubles for people. Supposedly brings holder prosperity.

In Moscow there are 15,000,000 people, smoking indoors  and out, yet no pollution.

No global warming in Russia. They fear global freezing.

Catherine the Great had 150,000 dresses and never wore the same one twice.

Siberian berry called Sea-Buckthorn (oblepikha) is cleaning tool and health food/drink.

Flying through Russian air and noticing no turbulence. Ever.

Russian standard top shelf vodka is Imperial.

At the end of meals in Russia you don’t get a mint, you get a stick of Wrigley’s gum.

My favorite vodka is Garlic Vodka, made near St. Petersburg, in Russia.

Russians outside of Moscow call Russians who live in Moscow “rats”.

Russians are very educated, passionate book lovers, and demanding of more information.

Many Russians long for the Soviet Union back. Before their purpose in life was known because it was told to them.

Russian women are stronger than Russian men. When they want something, they get it.

Russians are afraid to show happiness.
