FROM THE DESK, MIND AND HEART OF JEFF HODGES
Hey Everybody,
Wow, has this been a busy weekend !!! From the time I finished my work on Friday at around 5 pm until now I have completely moved into my new house in TN AND completely set up my office so that I would be functional by tomorrow morning. I am nothing short of EXHAUSTED !!! But, as usual, I’m ready to look Monday straight in the eye tomorrow. Welcome back to all my regulars and welcome aboard to all my new readers. As always, if you are new and want to read back editions or maybe you just missed one, all you have to do is go to either:

********************* Success University *********************
If you’ve read any of the things I write about Success University then you know that I’m always talking about the business side of things like the AWESOME Compensation Plan and SUPERIOR Support System. Well, I want to take a slight detour from that and point out one of the Charitable things that We do. Not only does Success University have 14 day Trial Membership so that you can TRY BEFORE YOU BUY but they take the entire $2 that they charge for that FULL ACCESS, UNRESTRICTED Trial and they donate it to a very well known International children’s charity. That’s right. You can actually Test Drive Success University to see if it’s a fit for you and feed a hungry child for a FULL WEEK !!! Folks, how in the World can you go wrong there ??? Even if you don’t like our product and our program you can still make a positive impact on the life of child. How about it ??? Go check it out at…..

Often times you hear me refer to the Law of Attraction in my newsletters. It occurred to me that there are a lot of people that don’t really know what it is or understand how it works. It also occurred to me that telling some people to watch THE SECRET to learn about it is like telling someone that is NOT a sci-fi fan to go watch Star Wars. It’s probably not going to happen. So, with that in mind, I decided to do a very short and concise explanation to at least plant the seed in those of you that are not up to speed on it.
The encyclopedia definition is: The Law of Attraction takes the principal "Like Attracts Like" and applies it to conscious desire. That is, a person’s thoughts (conscious and unconscious), emotions, and beliefs cause a change in the physical world that attracts positive or negative experiences that correspond to the aforementioned thoughts, with or without the person taking action to attain such experiences. This process has been described as "harmonious vibrations of the law of attraction" or "you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your experience".
Allow me to break this down for you. Let’s go from largest to smallest and envision our World: Universe, Galaxies, Solar Systems, Planets, Humans, Organs, Tissues, Molecules, Atoms, and…….. ENERGY !!! No matter Who you call God, you cannot escape that what I have just described is accurate. Whether you are a Christian, Agnostic or just a plain old Scientist that believes anything and everything as long as it can be PROVEN, you simply must accept that statement as accurate. Your religious preferences change nothing about the known composition of the various aspects of the Universe.
We live in a physical World and so the Laws of Physics MUST hold true. The entire Universe is one big Energy Field. You, while you APPEAR to be solid, are in fact a smaller Energy Field existing in the larger one. If you could put your hand under an electron microscope you would just see a mass of vibrating Energy and all things vibrate at a specific frequency.
Ok, now take your thoughts and apply them to this principle. In case you didn’t know it, your thoughts have specific frequencies too. You can measure a thought. In the medical world today you can be placed on a machine with electrodes attached to your head and as your thoughts change so will the readout on the machine. Therefore, anytime you have a conscious OR unconscious thought you are putting out a frequency that has a direct impact on the surrounding Energy fields.
Now, some people don’t believe in the Law of Attraction. They think it is some sort of sacrilegious voo doo or something. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I grew up in a Christian home and my Grandfather was a Methodist Minister for years. If anything, the Law of Attraction actually SUPPORTS my pre-existing religious beliefs. We practice our religion in our hearts and Spirits but we live in a Physical World. This Physical explanation serves to give a deeper understanding of Biblical concepts such as prayer. Just like in my Bible where it tells me that whatever I ask for in Prayer I’ll receive. My God placed me in a Physical World to live so it only makes sense to me that the answers to my Prayers would have a Physical origin.
Well, that’s at least a good start for you to grasp the concept of the Law of Attraction. I live my life by it everyday and it has served me well. It is a wonderful and very effective tool that my Creator has given me to make my Life what I want it to be. I HIGHLY recommend it !!! And I also HIGHLY recommend that you take the time to watch the movie THE SECRET. You can watch it directly from the website for just about $5. That way you don’t even have to buy it. The web address is http://www.thesecret.tv . If YOU’RE not using the Law of Attraction in YOUR Life you just don’t know what you’re missing !!!

“You are a creator; you create with your every thought. You often create by default, for you are getting what you are giving your attention to, wanted or unwanted, but you know by how it feels if what you are getting (creating) is what you are wanting or if it is not what you are wanting.” (Where is your attention focused?)
- Abraham Hicks

I want to talk briefly about Risk Taking. A great speaker and very wise man by the name of Les Brown said, “Jump and grow your wings on the way down !!!”. Do you know what that reminds me of? Do any of you know how a Mother Eagle teaches her babies to fly? She throws them out of the nest !!! That’s right. She tosses them out from the nest that is hanging off the side of a mountain at incredible altitudes and it is then that they spread their tiny wings and take flight for the first time.
People, I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been talking to someone about my business and one of the main reasons I get for them not joining my company is they don’t want to RISK FAILING !!! Are you kidding me ??? Ok, let’s look at the percentages here; Join my business and fail, 50%, don’t join my business and fail, 100%. I mean really, what has happened to the Spirit of this country?
If we had this NO RISK taking mentality a hundred years ago where would we be now? We wouldn’t have airplanes if the Wright Brothers were afraid of taking a risk. We wouldn’t have telephones if Alexander Graham Bell wasn’t a risk taker. We wouldn’t have light bulbs if Thomas Edison had said, “But, what if it doesn’t work ???”. The very Entrepreneurial Spirit that CREATED this country is slowly leaking out the bottom. I don’t know about you but I find that very disconcerting.
We need to get fired up about Life again !!! We all have something inside us that makes us GO TAKE what we want instead of waiting for someone else to bring it to us. We need to reach way down deep inside ourselves and pull that part of ourselves back to the surface. It’s there in all of us, waiting for us to take charge of our Lives again and MAKE THINGS HAPPEN !!! Did you know that the average Entrepreneur goes through roughly SEVENTEEN DIFFERENT BUSINESSES and are bankrupt an average of SEVEN times before they finally OBTAIN and MAINTAIN wealth ?!? That kind of puts a little perspective on why 1% of the World is wealthy and the other 99% are standing there scratching their heads. Which percentage are YOU going to be in ???…………….

Well, now I’m physically AND mentally exhausted !!! LOL I’m going to call it a night and go get ready for tomorrow’s adventures and opportunities. Life never allows me to be disappointed in that department. I hope each and every one of you will embrace the new week with the same HARD CHARGING attitude. Remember what Winston Churchill said, “We all create our own Universe as we go along.” Until we can have this time together again, may God Bless and Keep all of you. And, always remember to…..
JUST SAY “NO” TO NEGATIVITY !!!

Jeff Hodges
