Simple Strategies to Attract Your Dream Job
Written by Jerry on February 26, 2010 – 6:14 am -Simple Strategies to Attract Your Dream Job
If you don’t already have your dream job, what’s holding you back from the job you deserve? You’ll soon discover that you can no longer make excuses because the time to attract your dream job is now!
It doesn’t really matter what your end goal is, there are always ways to get there. The only real decision you need to make is what you want to go after. After that, it’s all planning and implementing!
Use these simple strategies for attracting your dream job:
1. Learn by example. Do you know of someone who is doing what you dream of? Are there any role models, mentors, or coaches you can learn from? Study what others have done and ask them questions if you have the opportunity. Now that you already know what you want, you just need to figure out exactly how to get it!
2. Break it down. While you’re keeping your eye on the prize, you might be taking too much in at once. You also may be trying to accomplish too much too fast. Break down your dream goal into smaller mini-goals. Once you have a simplified plan in place, attack each mini-goal with your full attention and you’ll be chipping away slowly, but surely at your dream goal!
3. Get your foot in the door. In the long run, it’s better for you to take the first step toward your dream job, rather than working a dead end job, even if the dead end job is paying you more. If you can bear working for less money for a while, the long-term benefits will be worth it.
4. Work on communication. If you work on your communication and people skills, you can work toward nearly any job that you want. This is because you’ll get your points across clearly and become well respected.
5. Make yourself stand out. It always helps if you’re seen as the type of person that will go the extra mile. If there’s a specific job that you’re interviewing for, study the objectives and duties of the job carefully. Make sure you have the qualities and skill set they’re looking for, and if you don’t, show that you’re willing to take the initiative to acquire them.
6. Take action. There may be a number of things that are holding you back from truly going for your dream job. Identify these causes and eliminate them. What are you afraid of? What is in the way of you and your dreams?
Your Dreams Take Time
It may take time for you to attract your dream job. Chances are your dream job isn’t an entry-level position at your local McDonald’s, but perhaps you’ll want to own a restaurant someday.
In order to make this goal a reality, realize that your dreams take time, research, guidance, money, and a whole lot of effort. After all, no restaurant opened overnight!
So what can you do today to get started on your goal? Perhaps you can begin your research, locate a mentor, start a savings account, or do any number of other simple tasks that will help you build momentum.
Use these strategies whenever possible to help you attract your dream job. With consistent action and effort, the only way to go is up!

Having Problems With The Law of Attraction?
Written by Jerry on October 9, 2009 – 3:52 am -Having Problems With The Law of Attraction?
The Law of Attraction seems so easy for some. Others try and try and have no success and they wonder why. Here are 3 common reasons why some people have problems using the Law of Attraction.
1. You’re In A Hurry
The first answer to the question of why it isn’t working is that you might be expecting your intention to happen right now. You have to realize that your job is sending out positive energy surrounding a subject. You must trust Law of Attraction to send it back to you in its own time.
You may find that you are always tapping your foot and asking when it’s going to happen for you. If you do, it may mean that you don’t really believe it will happen for you. You are just testing the waters and not willing to commit to anything.
2. It Must Happen This Way
You might also be expecting what you desire to come by a certain method. For example, you might want more money. You are hoping someone will just give it to you. This may be your idea of how the Law of Attraction works. However, if you are alert, you will see that there are dozens of ways it may come to you.
3. Nothing Is Happening Here
Another mistake you might make in using the Law of Attraction is to put too much emphasis on the evidence you see right now. When you see things that seem to prove that the Law of Attraction is not working, you quit believing. You get frustrated and start putting out negative vibrations. This will only bring more of the same.
If you really understand the Law of Attraction and the science behind it, external evidence will have little effect on you. When you have total belief and trust that the Law of Attraction is working, you will understand that what was happening in the beginning was only the clearing away of earlier bad energy.
New positive, focused thoughts, without doubt, will come more often as you practice the Law of Attraction. Nobody can perfect an art without practice. Soon you will come to believe in the outcome because you believe in the process.
4. It Can’t Happen – For Me
You also might also have problems using the Law of Attraction because your past outlook has been so negative and limited. You may have old nagging doubts that tell you the things you want are too hard to conquer or too much or too big to have.
When these emotions come up, it changes the energy you are sending out. There are dozens of strategies to clear out these old limiting beliefs. Look for ones that work for you. Hint: Keep tuning in to Cutting Edge Wisdom and you’ll find some these strategies in the near future.
If you properly use the Law of Attraction, you will have what you want. It is and isn’t easy. You only need to change one little thing a time to get closer and closer to your desires.

Affirmations That Attract Prosperity
Written by Jerry on September 30, 2009 – 3:58 am -Affirmations That Attract Prosperity
Do you have a hard time focusing on prosperity? Do you find yourself struggling with negative thoughts that seem to attract more lack and difficulty into your life? Affirmations are a simple tool you can use to turn it around.
Affirmations work best by delivering repeated new messages to your subconscious mind. Most often, this involves replacing old, limiting messages with new, empowering messages.
However, be careful of the way you word your affirmations. This will determine how effective they really are.
If I asked you to recite this affirmation: “I am a millionaire,” how effective do you think it would be? Would you be a millionaire tomorrow? Would money start falling out of the sky to land in your lap? I don’t think so!
Why not? Simply because your mind knows the statement isn’t true. If you try to feed your subconscious mind a belief that you are a millionaire, it creates a conflict with your current set of beliefs. Your subconscious mind does not like conflict, and it doesn’t like change – so nothing in your life changes!
In order for affirmations to work, you MUST word them so that that your subconscious mind won’t reject them. In other words, make them believable.
Compare the above affirmation to one like this: “I am becoming more prosperous every day.”
That one actually feels better, right? Your mind doesn’t try to resist it because you can actually imagine it happening, even if it hasn’t begun to happen yet.
Another way to boost your affirmations is to word them in a way that places the responsibility on you. For example, instead of affirming, “I am becoming more prosperous every day,” you could say, “I am open to new and better ways to become more prosperous.” The wording makes you feel more in control of your circumstances.
Rather than waiting anxiously for money to fall out of the sky, you send a message to your subconscious mind that you can control how much money you have by being alert to great opportunities.
Affirmations can vary in the length of time required to “take root” in your mind. For the most part, it depends on the intensity of your opposing beliefs and the level of effort you put forth in turning those beliefs around.
If your focus on lack is very strong, you’ll probably have to spend a fair amount of energy and effort to train your mind to focus on prosperity. You may have to repeat affirmations hundreds or thousands of times over a few weeks or months.
However, it is time and effort well spent because the more you focus on positive thoughts and prosperous beliefs, the more you’ll find yourself attracting good things into your life. Then, the more you will focus on good things that are showing up in your life… It’s a great cycle to be caught up in.
Here are a few good affirmations to help get you started on the road to prosperity:
* I use my thoughts and emotions to attract abundance effortlessly.
* I am becoming more prosperous and successful every day.
* I am talented and resourceful.
* I find it easier and easier to reflect on new opportunities that have come into my life.
* When I think wealthy thoughts, I become more wealthy in all aspects of my life.
* I am now using my imagination to create new wealth for myself and for others.

You’ve Been Lied To About Law of Attraction
Written by Jerry on August 14, 2009 – 12:32 am -The Big LOA Lie
You’ve been told it’s as easy as Ask, Believe and Receive.
Just look at the sky and ask for a million dollars and in just a few minutes you’ll get it. Does that sound like a load of crap? It is!
You see the Law of Attraction does really work. It is simple but, it’s not easy!
You’ve been told to Ask. Just what does that mean? Is it as simple as looking towards the sky and saying “Will you please give me a new BMW?” Not really.
Asking means that you create a very clear picture of what you want and then start creating energy around you to start the manifesting process. It also means that while you are waiting for the universe to deliver, you are grateful that your desire is on the way.
Then, you’re told to Believe. But what if you don’t? What if deep in your heart you don’t feel like you deserve to have what you really want in life?
And what could be easier than to Receive? They told you that if you just asked and believed that the money fairy would just drop the rent check in your hand, right? And if not it was because you screwed it up, right?
Well, you’ve been lied to! No they didn’t mean to lie, they are just regurgitating what they’ve heard everyone else saying. The fact still remains that it’s not working and you’ve been made to feel like a failure.
There is some truth to the Ask, Believe and Receive idea. In reality that is the complete recipe to attract all your desires but here’s what they left out…
Before you are ready to manifest your true desires, you must first master basic skills that will prepare you to properly Ask, Believe and Receive.
Just like you had to learn to walk before you could run and learn individual letters before you could read, you must build a solid foundation of basic skills before you can apply the Law of Attraction in your life.
You will hear some people who claim manifesting is a 3 part process. Some say it’s 5. And I’ve heard some that have 7 steps. It doesn’t really matter how many steps are in the system. What matters is that everything is covered in those steps.
I choose to follow the 3 step Ask, Believe and Receive model. However, you will hear me say more than once that most books forgot the taking action step. So what gives?
Well, I believe that taking inspired action falls under the step of Believing. If you are taking inspired action in the direction of your desire you are proving to your subconscious and the Universe that you really do believe.
Let’s use another example. You must be crystal clear about what you desire and only when you are clear will you be ready to ask. So having a clear vision falls under the Ask section.
You don’t need to understand the whole concept of the Law of Attraction right now. Just know that each component in the Ask, Believe and Receive model has several sub-components that they forgot to tell you about.
I’ll be telling you about them later.

12 Ways To Invite Spirituality Into Your Life
Written by Jerry on August 1, 2009 – 12:18 am -Here’s a quick list of ways to invite spirituality into your daily life. You don’t have to try them all. Choose the ones resonate with you and give them a try!
Be Honest. Be honest with others and especially with yourself. Dishonesty creates barriers between yourself and those you are dishonest with – including yourself.
See Humor. Life isn’t a serious disease. You’ll feel better about your life when you learn to see the funny things you do and the absurdities in the world. Chronic seriousness can make the joy flee from your life.
Meditate Daily. You’ve heard me say it before, right. In our modern world, you simply CANNOT connect with your inner spirit unless practice meditation regularly. The world moves waaaay to fast. Give your mind a break.
Keep a Journal. Socrates said “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Jim Rohn said "A Life Worth Living is a Life Worth Recording!" If you keep a daily journal you can see where you have been and get ideas for getting where you want to be. And a journal is the most wonderful gift you can leave behind for family and friends.
Give. All spiritual traditions talk about the importance of service. It doesn’t have to be money. You can give time, love recognition or help, just to name a few. Giving is one of the best ways to feel gratful for what you have. Not only will you trully connect with the receiver but, you know that you have plenty if you can give some away.
Don’t Ignore Negativey. Negative feelings can be useful. They can signal you that you aren’t living in harmony with your values. Don’t dwell on negative thoughts. But do examine them, without attaching blame, to learn from them.
Learn From Relationships. You might be surprised that relationships are the best mirror you can find to see what you are really like deep inside. Relationships can bring out the best and worst in you. Learn the hidden lessons from the bad. Cherish and share the beautiful moments. They can be so much more dymanic when shared.
Seek Help. Look for mentors. They don’t have to be teachers by profession. Others can help you learn to meditate, teach you yoga, hold you accountable for your actions, teach you to love, teach you other spiritual tradition…..
Discover Your Purpose. We all have one! Examine your own life history, spend time in silence listening to intutuion telling you what ’s important to you and learn to read life’s little hints along the way. If there was only one thing you could do for yourself this year, finding your purpose should be it.
Guard Your Mind. Your mind and spirit are preciuos gems. Be very careful of the friends you surround yourself with. Be just as careful about the influences you let into your mind. What influences? Newspapers, magazines, radio, movies, music, gossip…
Seek Inspiration. At the same you are guarding your mind you’ll want to fill it with as many inspiring things as possible. Once again, what things? Flowers, scents, good music, a hot bath, great books, uplifting friends…
Create Sacred Space. Everyone needs a sacred space. Mine is corner shelf unit that I have turned into a personal altar with candles, inscence, a statue and pictures of people important to me. Your might be a small flower garden or a bench under the shade of a tree. Any place that makes you feel relaxed and in touch with yourself is fine.
Now, you have a dozen ways to invite spirituality into your life. Use them. And, I forgot, there’s one more –
