for me “Ask and it is Given” is definitely 'true', especially after reading the book with that title by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
It sounds simply enough and basically it is. The reason it get's complicated is our thinking, which usually just happens on automatic most of the time.
Our feelings tell us whether we have been thinking thoughts that would help us along the way of what we want.
So if we use our feelings and adjust our thinking and predominantly feel good, then the chances of what we asked for can manifest.
Even if it doesn't manifest straight away, isn't feeling better worth the effort?

What is the secret and what is the power of the mind ?

Well i am reading a book ” Before the secret ” and it just open
doors to me.

you mind is the most power full thing God ever create and people still don't
understand how it works.

Your thoughts ( Fiath) that you think create your world out side and the
word's you say today create your tomorrows and people don' know it or
most people dont see it that way.

There is a text in the Bible that state ” Death and life is in the power of the tung
and if you use it you will eat the fruit of it” and word is created in the mind so
your outer world is created by the inner world and that is the Secret in short.

What you focus on the longest will become the strongest, see it like welding
that you do, if you just touch the two metal's that you need to stick like glue
one 's for a sec then it will broke ASAP but if you do a good job it will stick
for ever and that is the same with your thoughts if you focus constantly
on what you want Via Meditation or Prayer and in your daily living you
will get what you want.

Well i can go on and on but lets stop her for now … and see what will come out of it

I taught my sons (born early 2007 and 2008) to stop crying and whining and instead come to me and ask me for help.

The concept of “Ask and it shall be given unto you!” is very much the same. There're things we can't do alone, but as long as we kick and scream and shout instead of focusing our minds on where we can find help we're unable to receive help even if it was given to us.

So my conclusion is this: Focus your mind not on the problem but on the place/person/whatever you can get help from. Clear your mind and articulate your needs and THEN you'll be able to receive help.

“Ask and it shall be given unto you?” means ask for exactly what you want, believe that it is coming and demonstrate your faith taking action and becoming the person who has the requested result.

The concept of asking is very powerful. All thinking is a series of asking and answering questions. The challenge is that most people don't know what the problem is or what question to ask. If you know enough to ask the question, you know enough to find the solution.

“The only difference between a problem and a solution is that people understand the solution.”

In various versions of the Bible, it states if you keep asking it will be given unto you. In business, there is a Billionaire Principle to ask 6 times for exactly what you want. Persistence like the little stream will always win over the rock.

Keep asking and it will be given, keep seeking and you shall find, keep knocking and the door will be opened to you are the 3 action steps in the Bible.

Ask, Believe, Receive are the 3 steps in the Secret.

Faith is demonstrated through action that you believe. God's delays are not God's denials and is a test of our commitment and faith. Do we continue to take action even after a delay? Do we continue to have faith after a setback? Or do we lose faith and give up?

In Cialdini's book on influence one of the most powerful laws of influence is the law of Commitment and Consistency. Belief and faith guides us through the tough times to continue in our commitment and consistency.

With faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. Don't quit 5 minutes before the miracle or 3 feet from gold.

In Think and Grow Rich there was a pattern that the riches came just one step after defeat had overtaken their mind. That one step demonstrated faith, the size of a mustard seed and the floodgates of abundance had opened unto them.

It truly is the ultimate success formula with help from a power far greater than ourselves.

1) Be clear and ask for exactly what you want

2) Believe and have faith that a way will be shown to you and people will come into your life to guide you

3) Demonstrate your faith by taking action and understand any obstacles and delays will strengthen us to become the person who has what we want.

Thanks Paul for this neat exercise. It helped me get clearer on my thoughts. =)

After building the foundation of honesty, integrity, and compassion. That is the #1 Success strategy.

I like “No one gets all the gifts.” It's a very simple way of stating it.

Thanks! It gives a unique spin to what I share is “Do only what you are a genius at and delegate work to those who consider it play.”

You have presented an interesting challenge. I will turn the tables a bit as I know my mind and am interested in yours, so I will provide a topic and get your take on it. (I guess if you feel it worthy)

Anyway here it is: A business coach of mine said something so profound to me that I have never forggoten his words; that stays with me always.

“No one gets all the gifts.” “So figure out what you do best, do those things and get other people to do the other things.”

My guess is that you might be able to write a wonderful blog with that simple but profound thought.

Thank You!
