The world is what you think it is! Now let me explain that statement.

If you see the world as a friendly place, you'll tend to notice the ways in which things work out for the best. Because you're looking for 'friendly' things to happen, you're more likely to find them. At times, you may even create them with your intentions and actions. This 'Law of Attraction' has been known for centuries. What you believe and focus on tends to become reality for you.

While it is certainly easier to convince yourself of things that most people also believe in, like the impenetrable barrier of the four-minute mile, it is just as possible to believe in anything, no matter how unlikely or even comical it may seem to others.

In order to 'believe' that something is true, simply tell yourself that it is true, collect evidence which suggests that it is true, and act as if it is true.

However, instead of trying to align your beliefs with your perception of reality, is it possible to align your beliefs with what you most want to create in your life?

When you consistently 'make believe' in what you want, you can create some pretty unbelievable results!

1. Write down your top three goals in any area of your life. For example: to be the top performing salesman at my company.

2. For each goal, write out some things that it would be useful to 'make believe' are true. For example: selling is easy and fun for me; the more people I speak with, the easier it is for me to sell; learning to sell will make me a happier person.

Don't write down what you currently believe is true, just anything you think would be useful if you did believe it.

3. Actively 'make believe' in what you want by telling yourself that it's true.

You can accelerate your affirmations by simply repeating the statement again and again in a physiology of certainty.

To do this, state something that actually is true and then your affirmation. It may take a few tries (or even a few hundred!), but when you can totally match the voice tone and physiology, you'll notice your new 'make believe' actually feels much truer.

The more energy and attention you give something the more you'll attract that thing, so be careful what you choose to attract into your life.

Now, come up with a list of goals and choose at least one to attract in the next 24 hours.
