Real Answers from Keith Aul
Licensed LifeSuccess Consultant

There are a lot of things we all can be grateful for in our lives. However, sometimes we just don’t express it. The one thing I’m grateful for is the very idea that people across this nation or even in other countries are willing to assist others on how they can be the best they can be. I encourage everyone to reach out and help someone, even if it means just saying thank you or smiling more often.

No matter how well we do something we can always improve upon it and get better at it. When you look at the first car and compare it to the cars of today, everyone who works for the car manufacturer improved the automobile greatly from the original idea. And 100 years from now the car will look and operate dramatically different from the cars we have today. Well, how do we improve upon ideas? We improve upon ideas through continuous learning and exercising your intellectual faculty of imagination.

How great would it be for you, your kids and extended family to spend some very quality time together where you can learn and feed your marvelous mind with new ideas that will not only effect the current generation, but future generations as well? What if there was an internet site that provided high-quality video-streaming access to all of the information previously available in books, on DVDs or by attending seminars, now available any time and anywhere?

Well, there is a new online community called iLearningGlobal. This community brings to you the absolute best in personal development learning via cutting edge technology. Continuous personal development has never been more important than it is today. The reason why I do what I do is because our traditional school systems, from grade school on up through college, do not teach us how our mind works and how we truly manifest the things we desire most in life. These skills are just as important as math, science, English, social studies, etc.

The iLearningGlobal community is changing the way individuals learn and improve themselves on a daily basis. Inside iLearningGlobal, you gain access to today's most dynamic speakers and trainers in a way you've never seen them before. iLearningGlobal presents a growing library of these superstars in an amazing High Definition (HD) full screen video format along with audio programs, e-books, live webcasts, and much more. Personal development and quality business training has never been more important than it is today. iLearningGlobal delivers the best to you 24/7!

The dynamic speakers and trainers in this community educate and teach us from personal development, sales, sales management, goal setting, time management, tax reduction strategies, customer service, meetings that motivate, and communication, etc. I could go on and on.
What customers are doing and what I recommend from a family point of view is watch one video a day and each video is on average 7 - 10 minutes long. Then sit down with the family and include your kids and watch the video and talk about it and how you can use the information to improve your life, business, and grades at school, perform better in sports, gain confidence, increase your self-esteem and improve your self-image. This is how the family can get back together, because we all know how busy our lives can get. The membership fee is $79.95 per month. This is a very low cost way to receive continuing education.

Again, the skills that are presented in this community are suitable for all ages and all skill levels. No matter what career you will enter or are already in or even the grade level, the skills presented in this community are essential.

What We've All Been Gifted With

We've all been gifted with all the talents, resources and abilities to have whatever we want. All we have to do is become more and more aware. And the way we become more and more aware is through continuous study, studying who we are and what our potential is. iLearningGlobal is such a powerful platform because it gives each of us the ability to tap into, everyday, to the worlds best teachers on human potential in the world.

Remember, the potential in anything you do or achieve provides you with opportunity to the degree you are aware of your potential and you bringing your very best to these opportunities. This is how we all begin to express our infinite potential.

What Reflects Our Outside Environment?

Our outer environment is a direct reflection of our inner environment. We absorb the material for thought from our surrounding environment. Our environment consists of the books we read, the people with whom we associate, the country and community in which we live and the intellectual training we receive.

Our daily associates constitute one of the most important and influential parts of our environment, and they may work for our progress or against it. As much as possible, we should select as our closest daily associates those who are in sympathy with our definite chief aim or our definite purpose/goal in life. We should make it a point to associate with people whose mental attitudes inspire us with enthusiasm, self-confidence, determination, and ambition.

Remember that every word spoken within our hearing, every sight that reaches our eyes, and every sense impression that we receive through any of the five senses, influence our thoughts. This being true, then we can see the importance of controlling, as far as possible, the environment in which we live and work. So it's vitally important that we read books, listen to CD's/MP3 audios and video messages. which deal with subjects that are directly related to our purpose/goal in life. It is also important to talk with people who are in sympathy with our aims and who will encourage us and spur us on toward their attainment.

iLearningGlobal will connect you with associates/people that will inspire you every day, for the rest of your life.

Each and every one of us, if we took a serious inventory of where it is we are in our life, we could come up with 3 ideas that we know we could do, we probably know we should do, and if we know we would do we would improve the results in our life. Therefore, the biggest gap in our lives is the gap between what we know and what we do. So, what iLearningGlobal can do for us is that it provides us with a platform for us to begin to study how we move and bridge that gap. Then we can begin applying what it is we do know and move us out of frustration and into curiosity with the belief and expectancy that we really can be, do and have what it is we want in our lives.

The Law of Attraction: How and Why It Works

Question: “What is the Law of Attraction (Law of Attraction)?”

Basically, we attract into our lives anything and everything we give our energy and attention to. In other words, like attracts like. So if we're thinking good and positive thoughts, we will attract good things into our lives. However, the Law of Attraction also works on the negative side of the coin. If we're thinking bad and negative thoughts, we will attract bad things into our lives. It could also be stated that the Law of Attraction means we will draw into our lives whatever we focus on, whether we want it or not.

Now there are two separate functions that relate to the Law of Attraction:

Infinite Intelligence - This is how Law of Attraction works or how you get a response from what your mind focuses on.
Cosmic Habitforce - This is why Law of Attraction works or why you get a response when you hold a thought in your mind.

The following is just an overview of the connections between Infinite Intelligence, Cosmic Habitforce and the Law of Attraction:

Law of Attraction states that we are like a magnet; we draw into our lives whatever we desire and focus our attention on.
The reason why the thought or desire attracts to us the real object of our desire is because the thought and reality share a connection with each other.
The way a thought is connected to its reality is through Infinite Intelligence, which is described as a connection to everything in the universe. Now what makes this connection between all things is that every individual thing is some form of energy. It can also be described as a system, much like a broadcasting or telephone system.
Now the human mind has a natural habit and that natural habit is to turn every thought into its physical counterpart. This is what we call Cosmic Habitforce.
Human beings have the ability to change their thoughts. In other words we can change control what our mind focuses on.

So to reiterate the above overview, Law of Attraction states that whatever our thoughts are focused on, it will attract to you the physical counterpart of that thought and Cosmic Habitforce then provides you the method to do it. And infinite intelligence provides the connections to send out the thought and receive the responses.

Question: How is Infinite Intelligence connected to the Subconscious Mind?

Remember Infinite Intelligence can be best thought of as a system and your subconscious mind connects you into this system and it does so in one of three ways:

It is a sending station where you send out your idea of what it is you want to attract. In other words, your vibrations of thought are broadcast out.
It is a receiving station for the ideas that come back to you from infinite intelligence
It is a storehouse for all the information and ideas from which new solutions are created.

Your Subconscious Mind is a Storehouse of Ideas

Your conscious mind receives information through your 5 senses - sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. Your subconscious mind has access to this information but your subconscious mind has no ability to filter or judge this information in the same manner as your conscious mind. It just accepts all information and stores it. It has no ability to make any value judgments and it can not make a distinction between good or bad, positive or negative.

However, the subconscious mind does respond to the intensity to which the idea is planted into your subconscious mind. So the stronger the emotion that is attached to the idea when it is planted into your subconscious mind, the more important the idea will be.

Your Subconscious is a “Sending Station”

Autosuggestion is a method used to put your 'sending station' into operation. Autosuggestion is any suggestion that you give your self. For example, if you wanted to change any aspect of your life, you would make a self-suggestion to your self telling yourself how you want to think or act.

So by repeating your positive or creative visualizations to your subconscious mind your new desire will become embedded into your subconscious mind and automatically become part of the system of infinite intelligence.

Your Subconscious is your “Receiver”

Now your subconscious mind is also a receiver of ideas. You begin to receive thoughts when ideas and information stored below the conscious level come together and enter your creative imagination, which is one of our intellectual faculties.

Question: How do we receive thoughts from infinite intelligence?

When we think and create ideas in our mind, that activity creates pulses of energy.
When these pulses of energy are generated by our ideas, their like radio waves being broadcast out through an antenna, but instead are radiating outward from the thinker.
Now these thought waves or pulses of energy are part of the infinite intelligence that is 100% evenly present in all places at all times. In other words around us and within us.
This pulsating energy that is created by our mind is generated at a certain level of frequency or vibration.
So, if another persons mind sends out an idea at a certain frequency that is at the same level of frequency that your mind is attuned to, then your mind will receive that idea through the system of Infinite Intelligence.
And when your mind intercepts these waves or pulses of energy, the ideas or information that are carried by the waves become part of the ideas stored in your subconscious mind.

Cosmic Habitforce

Now all things in this universe have a habitual way of doing things. This means that the Law of Attraction works because it is the minds natural habit to try to make a thought into reality, when your mind focuses on a thought. Remember we become what we think about or thoughts really do become things. Again, it is only following the law of nature. Now a law of nature is defined as “when a certain stimulus produces the same result time after time, until it is accepted that it is its nature to produce that result every time, all the time.”

So for example, the Law of Gravity. No matter the human being, if that human being walks off the edge of a cliff or building they will gravitate to the center of the earth, each and every time. It does not matter if the individual is aware of the law or how it works. The same will happen with the Law of Attraction. Whether you know about this law or not, the law is always working and will work the same for everyone.

Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, studied thousands of successful people and analyzed the relationship between what they believed and the success they achieved. So the connection between the Law of Attraction and the great success they all achieved happened so consistently that he concluded the way the mind responded was no accident, but was a predictable law of nature.

Through Cosmic Habitforce, habits become part of your nature through repetition. So if you keep repeating thoughts or ideas in your mind, Cosmic Habitforce will take over those thought patterns and make them your natural reaction. So if your mind is filled with fear of failure, your mind will try to make that happen. But if you use the power of choice and intentionally change your thoughts and ideas with the anticipation of succeeding, your mind will try to make that happen.

Question: Now how can we use/apply the Law of Attraction in our lives?

It can be used in every aspect of our lives which includes financial, physical (health), mental, intellectual and spiritual. We need to think the truth regardless of our circumstances and that truth is that we all have abundance and that abundance directly comes from our thoughts, which determines our feelings and our feelings will dictate how we will act. When we think this truth it is our responsibility to then leave everyone with the impression of increase and during this process we should always have a feeling of deep and profound sense of gratitude. Learn to look at the major hurdles in your life as victories. These victories come from taking baby steps or giant ones. To become great we must learn to do the little things great over a long period of time. And failure is just feedback we can learn from. We have to take complete control and responsibility for our own life. If we want things to change, then we need to get a clear, mental picture of the changes we want to see. No matter how horrible a situation may seem, a bright spot is waiting to be found if we take the time to look for it. We all have a right to be happy.

We need to stop limiting ourselves. We need to take responsibility for our lives and take personal action. Remember believing is seeing the invisible. The airplane was once invisible to the masses. However, the Wright Brothers first saw a clear mental picture of humans flying on the screen of their mind.

So what do you want in your life? Paint a clear mental picture of what it is you want on the screen of your mind and then take personal action towards it.

Question: What is a Life/Business/Executive Coach?

The Real Answer: Typically a coach can specialize in areas like relationships, careers or personal growth. I work with individuals and/or businesses so they can obtain better results and gain a better quality of life in all aspects. I assist them in realizing that their true potential lies within them and the power we all have to create and design the life of our choice comes from the quality of thoughts we choose. This includes listening, observing and then developing strategies to help people get out of the rut they find themselves in. Also, if you're feeling frustrated with any aspect of your life or are not sure how to stop making the same choices that bring the same results, this is where a coach can help.

Question: Why does someone need a Coach?

The Real Answer: A coach can help you get 'unstuck' and guide you on your path of realizing the goals you set. Often, people need someone to help them take the dreams they have in their minds, the visions of what they want to do next with their lives and guide them to take action to make them a reality. This starts with figuring out where you are in life and where you want to be.

Some of the many ways someone can benefit from having a coach are:

Aid you to have more control over your life
Develop strategies for managing your activities
Assist you to realize your full potential
Help you discover your purpose and aid you in developing a purpose, vision and goal statement
Make decisions easily when the decisions are tied to your purpose
Help you gain a greater understanding of how to set goals and achieve them lawfully

Some of the questions that you can ask yourself to determine if you need a coach are:

Do you feel there is a lack of support in your life?
Do you have problems with low self-esteem or self-worth issues?
Do you feel everyone has a goal in life but you?
Do you feel everyone knows the secret to being successful but you?
Do you feel you could get more out of life or improve yourself?
Would you like to improve your performance and business opportunities, or simply achieve more in your life?

So, simply, there is much more you could achieve in your life and at a quicker pace with a coach. Coaches help you maintain direction; develop strategy, motivation, and goal setting. A coach is often the person, who encourages you to succeed, set higher goals, boost profits and make better decisions about everything from personnel to strategy. A coach can release your potential professionally, personally and emotionally.

Some people might say “I'm already successful, happy and my business is doing great.” I would then respond by asking “Why does Tiger Woods or Pete Sampras have a coach?” In reality their coaches are the most important people in their game. Coaches can see things from a different perspective, look at things from the outside and point out traits that an individual would not normally recognize.

Remember that you get out of the coaching experience what you put into it, so hire a coach when you're ready to make changes, and devote your attention to doing the work.
