Dear Diane,

Thank you for your message. I am enjoying the ebook and excited about what will come.

I have not yet come across putting dates next to my dreams. Nearly every goal setting system in the world advises to do this , you know: 10 year plans, 5 year plans and so on. What is your take on that? After all, I want a house in my local area and I would like to do that within a year. How would that fit in with the system?

Douglas

Douglas,


We're so appreciative of your support for our work. I'll give you some ideas on your question but ultimately you must make your own decisions.

This system is different from traditional goal setting plans. We write down desires in the present and affirmative only as an order to the Universe. We don't specify time so as not to limit the Creative force. Our lives can and do change so rapidly in today's world that time can set constraints rather than be a source of motivation.

Who would have imagined 5 years ago that so many millions of people throughout the world would be regularly engaged in commerce in the tens of billions of dollars through the internet? Oh, surely there were pundits setting their goals but from all I've read the "gurus" of traditional business were all wrong in their estimates.

We don't want you to limit yourself or your life in any way. We teach that your life is a process of learning and growing and attainment and that you will become the person who has the Bentley or yacht (or whatever your heart desires) at the correct or proper time. We avoid words like perfect because we and this world are imperfect.

About your house. Just list everything that you would like in your house. Talk about it being easily affordable, etc and some other phrases you might use are: My house is seeking me as I am seeking it. I know my house instantly. My house finds me.

These words are not tradional goal setting words either because the big secret is that you just Ask and Receive, get out of the way and let your Good come to you. By trying to control the means we often stop our Good. Learning to receive is much harder than learning to ask.

Might I suggest that you join one of our Teleseminars. We hold them the 2nd Sat. of each month at 7:30 a.m. Pacific time. Tom & Penelope conduct the 2 hours and it is great to have specific questions. The next one is Saturday January 11, 2004. We announce it through our regular email messages and on the Web site.

Live your dreams every day,

Diane Pauley
