The only thing I had to work with in the hospital was my mind, and once you hove your mind, you can put things back together again.
I was hooked to a respirator and they said I'd never breathe on my own again because my diaphragm was destroyed. But a little voice kept saying to me, "Breathe deeply, breathe deeply. " Arid finally I was weaned from it. They were at a loss for an explanation. I could not afford to allow anything
to come into my mind thai would distract me from my goal or from my vision.
I had set a goal to walk out of the hospital on Christmas. And I did. I walked out of the hospital on my own two feet. They said it couldn't be done. That's a day I will never forget.
Tor people who are sitting out there right now and are hurting, if I wanted to sum rip my life and sum up for people what tluycan do in life, I would sum it up in six avrds: "Man becomes what he thinks about."
Morris Goodman is known as The Mi nick1 Man. His story was chosen tor The Secret because it demonstrates the unfathomable power and unlimited potential of the human mind. Morris knew the power within him to bring about what he chose to think about. Everything is possible. Morris Goodman's story has inspired thousands of people to think, imagine, and feel their way back to health. He turned the greatest challenge of his life into the greatest gift.
Since the film The Secret was released, we have been inundated with miracle stories of all types of diseases dissolving from people's bodies after they watched The Secret. All things are possible when you believe.
On the subject of health I would like to leave you with these illuminating words from Dr. Ben Johnson: "We are now entering the
era ot energy medicine. Everything in the Universe has a frequency and all you have to do to is change a frequency or create an opposite frequency. That's how easy it is to change anything in the world, whether that's disease or emotional issues or whatever that is. This is huge. This is the biggest thing that we have ever come across."
• The placebo effect is an example of the law of attraction in action. When n patient trull/ believes the tablet is a cure, he receives what he believes and is cured.
• "Focusing on perfect health" is something we can all do within ourselves, despite what may be happening on the outside.
• Laughter attracts joi/, releases negativity, and leads to miraculous cures.
• Disease is held in the body by thought, by observation of the illness, and by the attention given to the illness. If you are feeling a little unwell, don't talk about it —unless you waul more of it. If you listen to people talk about their illness, you add energy to their illness. Instead, change the conversation to good things, and give powerful thoughts to seeing those people in health.
• Beliefs about aging are all in our minds, so release those thoughts from your consciousness. Focus on health and eternal youth.
• Do not listen to society's messages about diseases and aging- Negative messages do not serve you.

People have a tendency to look at the thing* that they want and say, "Yes, 1 like that, I want that." However, they look at the things that they don't want and they give them just as much energy, if not more, with the idea that they can stamp it out, they can eliminate it, obliterate it. In our society, we've become content with fighting against things. Fighting against cancer, fighting against poverty, fighting against war, fighting against drugs, fighting against terrorism, fighting against violence. We tend to fight everything we don't want, which actually creates more of a fight.
Hale Dwoskin
TEACHER AND AUTHOR OF THE SEDONA METHOD
Anything uv focus on we do create. So if we're really angry, for instance, at a war that's going on, or strife,
or suffering, we're adding our energy to it. We're pushing ourselves, and that only creates resistance.
"What you resist persists."
Bob doyle
Tlie reason that what you resist persists is been use if you're resisting something, you're saying, "No, I don't want this thing, because it makes me feel this way —the way I am feeling right now." So you 're putting out a really strong emotion of, "I really don't like this feeling," and then it comes racing toward you.
Resistance to anything is like trying to change the outside pictures after they have been transmitted. It's a futile pursuit. You have to go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings to create the new pictures.
As you resist what has appeared, you are adding more energy and more power to those pictures you don't like, and you are bringing more of them at a furious rate. The event or circumstances can only get bigger, because that is the law of the Universe.
JACK CAN FIELD
The anti-war movement creates more war. The anti-drug movement has actually created more drugs. Because we're focusing on what ice don't want— drugs!
LISA NICHOLS
People believe that if we really want to eliminate something, focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give the particular problem ail of the energy, as opposed to focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or peace?
|ACK CAN FIELD
, Mother Teresa was brilliant. She said, "I will never attend an anti-war rally. If you have a peace rally, invite me." She knew. She understood The Secret. Lwk what she manifested in the world.
HALE DWOSKJN
So if you're anti-war, be pro-peace instead. If you're anti-hunger, he pro-people having more than enough to eat. If you are anti-a-particular politician, be pro-his opponent. Often elections are tipped in favor of the person that the people are really against, because he's getting all the energy and all the focus.
Everything in this world began with one thought. The bigger things get bigger because more people give their thoughts to it after it has appeared. Then those thoughts and emotions keep that very event in our existence, and make it bigger. If we took our minds off it and focused instead on love, it could not exist. It would evaporate and disappear.
"Remember, and this is one of the most difficult as well as most wonderful statements to grasp. Remember that no matter what the difficulty is, no matter where it is, no matter who is affected, you have no patient but yourself; you have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth which you desire to see manifested."
IackCanheld
It's OK to notice what you don't want, because it gives you contrast to sen/, "This is what I do want." But the fact is, the more you talk about what you don't want, or talk about how bad it is, read about that all the time, and then say how terrible it is —well, i/ou're creating more of that.
You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As you focus on the negative events of the world, you not only add to them, but you bring more negative things into your own life at the same time.
When the pictures have appeared of something you do not want, it is your cue to change your thinking and emit a new signal. If it is a world situation, you are not powerless. You have all the power. Focus on everybody being in joy. Focus on abundance of food. Give your powerful thoughts to what is wanted. You have the ability to give so much to the world by emitting feelings of love and well-being, despite what is happening around you.
James Ray
So many times people say to me, "Well, James, I have to be informed." Maybe you have io be informed, but you don't have to be inundated.
When 1 discovered The Secret 1 made a decision tnai 1 wouiu noi watch the news or read newspapers anymore, because it did not make me feel good. The news services and the newspapers arc-not in any way to blame for broadcasting bad news. As a global community, we are responsible for it. We buy more newspapers when a huge drama is the headline. The news channels' ratings skyrocket when there is a national or international disaster. So the newspapers and news services give us more bad news because, as a society, that's what we are saying we want. The media is effect, and we are cause. It is just the law of attraction in action!
The news services and newspapers w
ill change what they deliver to us when we emit a new signal and focus on what we want.
MICHAEL BERNARD BECKW1TH
Learn to become still, and to take your attention away from what you don't want, and all the emotional charge around it, and place the attention on what you wiali to experience. . . . Energy flows where attention goes.
"Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world's famine feed."
Are you beginning to see the phenomenal power you have in this world, just through your existence? As you focus on the good things you feel good, and you are bringing more good things to the world. At the same time, you are bringing more good things into your own life. When you feel good you uplift your life, and you uplift the world!
The law is perfection in operation.
DR. JOE VlTALE
One of the questions I get asked all the time is if everyone use The Secret, and they all treat the Universe like a catalogue, aren't we going to run out of stuff? Won't everyone just maki a run for it and bust the bank?
DR. JOHN DEMART1NI
/ always say, icheu the ivice ami the vision on the inside become more profound, clear, and loud than the opinions on the outside, you've mastered your life!
Lisa Nichols
It's not your job to change the world, or the people around you. It's your job to go with the flow inside of the Universe, and to celebrate it inside the world that exists.
You are the master of your life, and the Universe is answering your every command. Don't become mesmerized by the pictures that have appeared if they are not what you want. Take responsibility for them, make light of them if you can, and let them go. Then think new thoughts of what you want, feel them, and be grateful that it is done.
Michael Bernard Beckwith
WJiat's beautiful about the teaching of The Secret is that tliere's more than enough to go around for everyone.
There is a lie that acts like a virus within the mind of humanity. And that lie is, "There's not enough good to go around. There's lack and there's limitation and there's just not enough." And that lie has people living in fear, greed, stinginess. And those thoughts of fear, greed, stinginess, and lack become their experience. So the world lias taken a nightmare pill.
The truth is that there's more than enough good to go around. There's more than enough creative ideas. There's more than enough power. There's more than enough love. There's more than enough joy. All of this begins to come through a mind that is aware of its own infinite nature.
To think there is not enough is to look at the outside pictures and think that everything comes from the outside. When you do that, you will most surely see lack and limitation. You now know that nothing comes into existence from the outside, and that everything first comes from thinking and feeling it on the inside. Your mind is the creative power of all things. So how can there be any lack? It's impossible. Your ability to think is unlimited, and so the things you can think into existence are unlimited. And so it is with everyone. When you truly know this, you are thinking from a mind that is aware of its own infinite nature.
James Ray
Every great teacher who has ever walked the planet has told you that life was meant to be abundant.
"The essence of this law is that you must think abundance; see abundance, feel abundance, believe abundance. Let no thought of limitation enter your mind."
JOHN ASSARAF
And so just when we think that resources arc dwindling, we find new resources that can achieve the same things.
The true story of a Belize oil team is an inspiring example of the power of the human mind to bring forth resources. The directors
of Belize Natural Energy Limited were trained by the eminent Dr. Tony Quinn, who specializes in Humanistic Physiology training. With Dr. Quinn's mind power training, the directors were confident that their mental picture of Belize being a successful oil-producing country would be achieved. They took a brave step forward to drill for oil in Spanish Lookout, and in one short year their dream and vision became a reality. Belize Natural Energy Limited discovered oil of the highest quality, in abundant flows where fifty other companies had failed to find any. Belize has become an oil-producing country because an extraordinary team of people believed in the unlimited power of their mind.
Nothing is limited—not resources or anything else. It is only limited in the human mind. When we open our minds to the unlimited creative power, we will call forth abundance and see and experience a whole new world.
DR. JOHN DEMARTiNi
Even though ice say we have lack, it's because ice don't open up our lesion and see all of what is around us.
DR. JOE VITALE
You know when people start to live from their heart and go for what they want, they don't go for the same things. That's the beauty of this. We don't all want BMWs. We don't all want the same person. We don't all want the same experiences. We don't all want the same clothing. We don't all want.. . (fill in the blank).
You are here on this glorious planet, endowed with this wonderful power, to create your lite! There are no limits to what you can create for You, because your ability to think is unlimited! But you cannot create other people's lives for them. You cannot think for them, and if you try to force your opinions on others you will only attract like forces to You. So let all others create the life they want.
Michael Bernard beckwith
There's enough for everyone. If you believe it, if you can see it, if yon act from it, it'll show up for you. That's the truth.
"If you have any lack, if you are prey to poverty or disease, it is because you do not believe or do not understand the power that is yours. It is not a question of the Universal giving to you. It offers everything to everyone—there is no partiality."
The Universe offers all things to all people through the law of attraction. You have the ability to choose what you want to experience. Do you want there to be enough for you and for everyone? Then choose that and know, "There is abundance of all things." "There is an unlimited supply." "There is so much magnificence." Each of us has the ability to tap into that unlimited invisible supply through our thoughts and feelings, and bring it
into our experience. So choose for You, because you're the only one who can.

Everything that you want—all the joy, love, abundance, prosperity, bliss —it's there, ready for you to grab ahold of it. And you've got to get hungry for it. You've got to be intentional. And when you become intentional and on fire for what you want, the llnix'crse will deliver every single thing that you've been -wanting. Recognize the beautiful and wonderful things around you, and bless and praise them. And on the other side, the things that aren't currently working the way you want them to work, don't spend your energy faulting or complaining. Embrace ezwrythiug that you want so you can get more of it.
Lisa's wise words, to "praise and bless" the things around you, are worth their weight in gold. Praise and bless everything in your life! When you are praising or blessing you are on the highest frequency of love. In the Bible, the Hebrews used the act of blessing to bring forth health, wealth, and happiness. They knew the power of blessing. For many people the only time they have blessed someone was when they sneezed, and so they have not used one of the greatest powers to their full advantage. The dictionary defines blessing as "invoking divine favor and conferring well-being or prosperity," so begin right now to invoke the power of blessing in your life, and bless everything and everyone. Likewise with praising, for when you are praising someone or something you are giv-
