Attracting the things you want for your life - whether in the form of relationships, improved self esteem or the creation of wealth - requires following a formula, just like in a science or math problem. One of the steps in the formula involves what I like to call ?falling in love? with the idea of receiving the thing(s) you want.

Take a moment and think back to a time when you fell in love. Remember the sheer and unabated joy that you felt? Maybe your step seemed a bit quicker, perhaps you found yourself smiling or even unexplainably breaking into laughter or doing so with greater frequency. You also likely thought about your love interest constantly, perhaps even spending long periods of time in phone conversation. You probably talked incessantly about them to your friends or family members. Sound familiar?

Sure! The feeling that you got from falling in love made you feel energized, like there was nothing you could NOT do - that anything was possible. In much the same way that falling in love with another human being amps you up, attracting the things you want both for and in your life requires capturing this same sort of feeling.

Falling in love with your goals or desires works in your favor in a couple of ways. One way is that it tricks the subconscious mind. The subconscious is extremely powerful and, unless trained or conditioned, acts to keep you exactly where you are ? stuck and getting the same results you are currently getting. By tricking your subconscious, you are breaking the hold, or the story, that this guilty culprit places on you. It is your belief system or the way you see and act in your world that cunningly holds your dreams (and you) in check.

"Falling in love with it" is the emotion you generate as you see yourself actually getting what you desire. Some routinely refer to this as visualization. Proper visualization has two parts or components. The first is the actual seeing yourself acquiring or accomplishing the thing you most want. The second piece of the visualization puzzle requires that you go a little deeper. You must physically experience the feeling of having accomplished or reached your destination. How good does it feel, for example, to actually attract the person of your dreams? How does this feeling translate itself in your body, in your mind, your soul? What does it feel like to have that person sitting next to you, holding you, kissing you? Get in close touch with this feeling. This is what "falling in love with it" is all about and, when coupled with action towards your desires, is a powerful force!

Feelings affect your results because once you have a thought about something, you then create an emotion around that thought. Feelings are vibrations that come into your body and bring together your thoughts and emotions. As you learn to master your feelings and emotions, you will be able to create the intention and vibration of what you want.

But your goals don't automatically manifest themselves just because you can "feel and emote." As I mentioned earlier, it is the "action" part of the equation that allows your desire to become manifest. Action AND resolve are necessary. Resolve separates the men from the boys. Resolve is the piece that defines the price you are willing to pay in order to get what you want.

Sadly, most people are not willing to pay the price necessary for claiming their prize. Taped to my computer is a little saying that really emphasizes this notion of resolve: ?Remember that great love and great achievement involve great risk.? Millions of people go through life hoping for some sort of lucky break. They lack both the interest and the excitement in their goals that allows their desire to build up momentum inside of them. This attitude (sloth) is the recipe of the status quo and has unnecessarily imprisoned mankind for centuries.

Goals that become charged with emotion are goals that are more quickly realized. Falling in love with your idea and injecting the emotion that bubbles up for you as you see yourself standing in the winner's circle will get you inside that circle with much greater speed. Falling in love with your desires can spell the difference between happy or crappy. YOU decide.
