American Inspirational Speakers and Best-selling Authors on the Law of Attraction known for the film The Secret and for disclosing their Abraham experience

"While your parents and teachers are, for the most part, well-meaning people, they are nevertheless more interested in your finding ways to please them than in your finding ways to please yourself. And so, in the process of socialization, almost all people in almost all societies lose their way because they are coaxed or coerced away from their own Guidance System."

"Shortage of time is not your problem. Shortage of money is not your problem. Shortage of Connection to the Energy that creates worlds is at the heart of all sensations of shortage that you are experiencing."

"The most valuable skill that you could ever develop is the skill of directing your thoughts toward what you want--to be adept at quickly evaluating all situations and then quickly coming to the conclusion of what you most want--and then giving your undivided attention to that."

"You have to begin to tell the story of your life as you now want it to be and discontinue the tales of how it has been or of how it is."

"You are joy, looking for a way to express. It's not just that your purpose is joy, it is that you are joy. You are love and joy and freedom and clarity expressing. Energy-frolicking and eager. That's who you are."

"Those moments in your life when you feel absolute exhilaration are moments of complete alignment with the Source within you."

"When you expect something, it is on the way. When you believe something, it is on the way. When you fear something, it is on the way. Your attitude or mood is always pointing toward what is coming, but you are never stuck with your current point of attraction. "

"If we were talking to you on your first day of physical experience, we could be of great advantage to you because we would say, “Welcome to planet Earth. There is nothing you cannot be or do or have. And your work here—your lifetime career—is to seek joy."

"And you say, "The only reason that I believe this is because it is true." And we say - the reason that you believe it, is because you've practiced the thought. All that a belief is, is a thought that you keep practicing."

"A belief is only a thought I keep thinking."

"All you gotta do is chill out... Let go of control and chill out...Let it be, trust."

"Anything you are giving your attention to is an invitation to the essence of it. Saying 'I want money, but it will not come,' is the same as saying, 'come to me, absence of money, which I do not want.'"

"Anytime you feel negative emotion, stop and say: 'Something is important here, otherwise I would not be feeling this negative emotion. What is it that I want?' And then simply turn your attention to what you DO want. In the moment that you turn your attention to what you want, the negative attraction will stop, and in the moment the negative attraction stops, the positive attraction will begin. And in that moment, your feelings will change from not feeling good to feeling good."

"As you practice your more positive, better-feeling story, in time your pleasure will become the dominant vibration within you, and then as you couple your pleasure with your means of earning, the two will blend perfectly and enhance each other."

"Anytime you have physical discomfort of any kind, whether you call it emotional or physical pain within your body, it ALWAYS means the same thing: "I have a desire that is summoning energy, but I have a belief that is not allowing, so I've created resistance in my body." The solution, every single time, to the releasing of discomfort and pain is the relaxation and the reaching for the feeling of relief."

"As you think, you vibrate. And it is your vibrational offering that equals your point of attraction. So what you are thinking and what is coming back to you is always a vibrational match."

"Be easy about it. Don't rush into things. Savor them more. Make more plans and be more deliberate and specific about the plans that you are making, and in all that you do, let your dominant intent be to find that which pleasures you as you imagine it. Let your desire for pleasure, your desire for feeling good, be your only guiding light. As you seek those thoughts that feel good, you will always be in vibrational harmony with the Energy that is your Source. And under those conditions, only good can come to you, and only good can come from you."

"Appreciation in advance brings everything you want to you."

"As you think thoughts that feel good to you, you will be in harmony with who you really are."

"Babies are thinking and attracting before they are speaking. Even though you are only months old in your physical body, you are a very old and wise Creator, focused in that baby's body."

"By choosing better feeling thoughts and by speaking more of what you do want and less of what you don't want, you will gently tune yourself to the vibrational frequency of your Broader Perspective. To see your world through the eyes of Source is truly the most spectacular view of life, for from that vibrational vantage point, you are in alignment with, and therefore in the process of attracting, only what you would consider to be the very best of your world."

"Desire and belief, those are the components that are necessary for anything that you want to achieve."

"Dollars aren't the root of happiness, but they are not the root of evil either. They are the result of how somebody lines up the Energy."

"Be happy in anticipation of what's coming."

"Children or babies learn to mimic the vibration of the adults who surround them long before they learn to mimic their words."

"Children coming forth today have a greater capacity to deal with the greater variety of information that is coming forth than you did."

"Everything that I think that I need to do, is all only in order to propel me to some place, that when I get there I think I will be happier. So, everything that I am doing, no matter what it is, all of my lists of rights and wrongs, are all about me getting to a manifestation, that I believe I will then be happier...So, why don't I take a short cut and just be happy?"

"Feel appreciation for those who provide examples of Well-Being. How would you know that prosperity was possible if there wasn't some evidence of prosperity around you? It's all part of this contrast that helps you to sharpen your desire."

"Give them a conscious understanding of how powerful and important and valuable and perfect they are."

"Get into the Vortex and then..."

"I care how I feel and it is my desire to feel good."

"I no longer hold you responsible for how I feel."

"If there is something that you desire and it is not coming to you, it always means the same thing. You are not a vibrational match to your own desire."

"I Love you so much, I don't care what you think."

"If you are feeling a shortage of time or money, your best effort would be to focus upon better-feeling thoughts, and do more things that make you feel good."

"If we were talking to you on your first day here we would say, "Welcome to planet Earth. There is nothing that you cannot be or do or have. And your work here, your lifetime career is...to seek joy.""

"If you know that all is well, you know all you need to know. And if you know life is supposed to be fun, you know more than almost anybody else knows."

"If your desire is strong enough, it doesn't matter what your beliefs are. If you have a desire that is strong enough, that desire will be the dominant vibration, and it will over-ride any other vibration that you have."

"If you will relax and allow Law of Attraction to do the organization, the managing, then you can spend your time doing the things that please you"

"If you're not selfish enough to want to feel good, then you can't connect with the energy that is your Source which does always feel good."

"If you're not thinking about a negative thought, your vibration is going to raise to its natural positive place."

"It is as easy to create a castle as a button. It's just a matter of whether you're focused on a castle or a button."

"In your action, you lose sight of the vision, you lose sight of your trust in the process, and you just bang around in a sense of futility. Hold the vision and trust that the Universe will acclimate to your vision. Hold the vision and trust the process."

"It is my dominant intent to be good to me."

"It is my dominant intent to solicit from experience and exaggerate and talk about and revel in the best of what I see around me here and now."

"It is not your role to make others happy, it is your role to keep yourself in balance. When you pay attention to how you feel and practice self-empowering thoughts that align with who you really are, you will offer an example of thriving that will be of tremendous value to those who have the benefit of observing you."

"It is the way you feel that is your point of attraction."

"It is so easy to make the finding of the path so much more complicated than it really needs to be because from within you know if you have been willing to tune yourself to feeling good, no matter what, so that that's what matters most to you...then in your natural quest for joy you'll just keep being on your path...your path unfolds."

"It's not about action... It's about vibrational alignment."

"It's not your work to make anything happen. It's your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it, and the Universe must find a way to bring it about."
