Everyone on this Earth has something valuable to offer another person. Everyone of us is capable of being very prosperous and contented. But nevertheless, so many of us struggle day after day. We’re caught in a cruel rat-race, and often we can barely come up for breath. Yet, to each of us, there’s hope. Applying the Law of Attraction, I want to teach you how to pull to yourself your Million Dollar Idea.
We all are here for a reason. We all have something that we alone can offer. To figure out our purpose is to discover that which both makes us happy and makes us wealthy. We were not meant to fear, hurt, or suffer. However, we all have been culpable of questioning ourselves, and we must learn to move through this. These are very basic things that you must realize before you’ll be able to even begin to reveal your million dollar idea. If you find it, but question yourself and do not follow up on it, you might not find it again for years.
You may want to create a list of things you know. You can list things that you have unique knowledge in. You could try to narrow the list down into something you think is valuable in the market place. There are hundreds of books for that tactic. What I want to reveal to you today is a tactic that is far easier, but you must be willing to put in the effort and specifically to remain very mindful for the answer.
Find a time when you have half an hour to yourself. Find a comfortable, secluded spot that is quiet and relaxing. Sit (or lie) or get comfortable in any way you want. Listen very attentively to the sounds about you. If the room is silent, hear the silence. Become mindful of your breathing. Count thirty breaths (in-out one, in-out two). When you have completed this your body and mind will be very relaxedat ease and in the perfect state to proceed.
Close your eyes and repeat out loud, “I intend my million dollar idea to present itself to me now. My million dollar idea is here and now and I will that it show itself.” Now listen to the silence, centering on what you just said. Every few seconds when you begin to experience your mind meandering, repeat the procedure - say it aloud again, then listen and experience the power of your words as they echo through your being. Continue this for as long as you are able, then become aware of your breathing for ten breaths. Then you can get up and go about your life.
Now you’ve put out an emotional desire for your million dollar idea to present itself to you. I won’t go into it, but the world you perceive around you is actually within you - everything in your external world is merely a representation of something internal. So what you need to do now is to stay cognizant of what you’re doing throughout the day. When you’re talking to someone, listen very deeply to what they are saying. If you stumble across a book, a magazine, or a proposal of some sort, pay extra attention to it.
What will happen is that something in your external life will happen that will present the million dollar idea to you. Does your friend have a problem that you happen to have an answer to? Is that solution potentially your million dollar idea? Do you hear someone talking about something they wish they had, but nobody has created it? Do you hear anyone grumbling about a lack of something that maybe you could supply?
The funny thing is, occasionally your million dollar idea won’t sound like a million dollar idea to you initially. As your day goes by (and the following day), write down everything you think could be a suggestion. Dreams are especially significant. What you will begin to find is a blueprint based around one definite idea, one certain need, that others have. You will begin to recognize it over and over again. This is the process of your idea presenting itself to you. Once you’re certain you have it, then begin to develop it, and maintain faith in yourself.
The simplicity of this exercise is deceiving. The universe, our external reality, is perpetually communicating to us on a personal level, because our external reality is in point of fact just a manifestation of our internal. The process of giving an intention and question and then really paying attention to personal messages appearing out of the world around you will help you open up to the process of life.
You see, the best million dollar ideas are not things that you think are cool or inspiring. They are things that others need - things that benefit others! That’s very often the simple rule that we neglect in life.
The best moment is when you become aware that we don’t actually have one million dollar idea. We have a limitless number of them at our fingertips! All we need to do is expect and listen. May your life be enriched and your aspirations come true!
