The Optimist Creed

Promise Yourself:

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements ofthe future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Note: “The Optimist Creed” was first published in 1912 in Christian D. Larson’s book, Your Forces and How to Use Them. A shortened version of it is used today by Optimist International, a worldwide group of people who are focused on making a positive difference in the world.

Foreword

I want you to imagine a large lock. It’s strong and very difficult to open. This lock is keeping you where you do not want to be. However, you seem to have an awareness that the lock will open and, if opened, you will feel and experience the freedom you have, until now, only been privileged to read about. You dream of living where you want to live, enjoying everything the way you were meant to enjoy it, earning the income you know deep inside you can earn, living the way you were intended to live, and contributing in a manner you know you should.

This is a powerful lock. Until opened, this lock keeps people in a psychic prison—a dark place that respects no one, a confining cell, a limiting space that kills dreams and keeps smart, loving, aspiring people down. This is indeed one of the most powerful locks. Can you see it? I think you can!

This is the lock that’s within the mind of man; it is a paradigm.

The book you are now holding represents a way out . . . freedom. The Key: The Missing Secret for Attracting Anything You Want by Joe Vitale will open up a world of possibility and promise. It will answer your nagging questions as to why you don’t yet have the abundance you know you should have and that you deserve. This book will give you serious, time-tested, and practical strategies to unlock that lock forever.

If you are looking for a book that explains how to make things happen in your life and you want to expand your awareness, I suggest that you adopt this book as a new and dear friend now. Devour it! But, most important, use it to unlock those places within yourself that have held you back.

For almost 40 years, I have been involved in helping individuals and companies the world over open that mysterious lock. I’ve read thousands of books on the subject and have spent over 40 years studying why we behave as we do. This book is an absolute mustread−cover to cover!

You see, I know Joe Vitale. I knew Joe when he was searching for the elusive Key. I observed him find it. I have watched his life and his world change. What is wonderful about Joe’s discovery is how he has recorded every move. Like a great astronomer, Joe charted his moves so he can share these beautiful truths with you and everyone else who is tired of the psychic prison in which they may find themselves.

Joe Vitale is a widely respected teacher on how to unlock your hidden potential. I’ve read all of his books. This book, The Key, is likely to be considered his best. In his easy-to-read style, Joe unfolds what could be considered complex subjects and makes them easy to understand and, more important, easy to apply. He will challenge your thinking; that’s what Joe is all about. He will make you think, laugh, and cry (possibly). But he will equip you to overcome the constraints of that ugly lock and open it.

Use this book as I suggested, and I promise you that strange and marvelous things will begin to happen in all areas of your life with constant regularity.

This is the book that will unlock a whole new world−it contains The Key.

—Bob Proctor Best-selling author of You Were Born Richwww.BobProctor.com

Acknowledgments

As with every book I’ve ever written, many people supported and encouraged me in the writing process. Matt Holt, my dear friend and chief editor at John Wiley & Sons, is number one on the list. Without him, this book would remain only an idea. Nerissa, my life partner and love, is always there for me, and always feeding the critters so I can keep writing. I thank Rhonda Byrne, creator of the movie The Secret, for putting me in her amazing film so new people would hear of my work and want a book like this one. Suzanne Burns, my key assistant, makes my daily life easier so I can focus on writing.

Close friends gave me support and advice. They include Bill Hibbler, Pat O’Bryan, Jillian Coleman-Wheeler, Craig Perrine, and Cindy Cashman. My dear friend and fellow crusader of the light, Mark Ryan, is always supportive of my projects. Victoria Schaefer is totally supportive of me and my work, and is a priceless friend. I also want to thank Joe Sugarman, Howard Wills, Kathy Bolden, Marc Gitterle, Scott Lewis, Jeff Sargent, John Roper, Rick and Mary Barrett, Roopa and Deepak Chari, Will LaValley, Scott York, Mark Joyner, and Ann Taylor for their support of my well-being. In addition, I thank Cyndi Smasal and my Miracles Coaches team. Mark Weisser dropped everything in his busy schedule to edit the first draft of this book.

Finally, I’m grateful to the Divine for allowing me to do what I do. If I’m forgetting anyone, and I probably am, I apologize. I love you all.

Part One

The Key

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kindrealizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science arewritten the words:

Ye must have faith.

—Max Planck, winner of the 1918 Nobel prize in Physics

The Missing Secret

Beliefs are the determinant of what one experiences. There are no external causes.

—David Hawkins, I: Reality and Subjectivity

Admit it. There is something in your life you’ve been trying to attract, achieve, or resolve and you simply haven’t accomplished it yet.

It’s not for lack of trying. You’ve read self-help books, seen movies such as The Secret and What the Bleep Do We Know?, attended seminars, and more. But you keep hitting your head against the wall when it comes to this one thing (or more) that you want and just can’t seem to attract.

What gives? Why can you easily attract some things into your life but have a stubborn problem in this one area? Does the Law of Attraction really work or doesn’t it? Does anything really work?

What’s the missing secret to attracting whatever you want, anyway?

Everything in your life is there because you attracted it. This includes the bad stuff. You simply attracted it on an unconscious level. When you become aware of the mental programming that is operating behind your experiences, you can then change it and begin to attract what you prefer.

When you “get clear ” (which I’ll define shortly) of the hidden beliefs stopping you from attracting whatever you want, you get what others may call miracles. For example:

• When I got clear of the issues I had about being overweight, I lost 80 pounds, entered six fitness contests, and transformed my body and my life.

• When I got clear of the hidden beliefs within myself regarding having a new car, I went on to attract 12 new ones, including now owning two BMWs and a stunning hand-assembled luxury sports car named Francine, a Panoz Esperante GTLM.

• When I got clear of why I created potentially deadly swollen lymph nodes in my chest, between my lungs, the nodes became harmless.

• When I got clear of why I was once homeless and then a struggling writer living in virtual poverty, I went on to become an Internet celebrity, a best-selling author of over 30 books, and one of the stars in a hit movie, The Secret.

Obviously, getting clear of your inner blocks is the missing secret to attracting whatever you want. How can you tell if you need to get clear right now? If you have to ask, you probably aren’t clear. But here’s a quick way to find out. Just truthfully answer these questions:

• Do you have a recurring problem area in your life?

• Have you ever set a New Year’s resolution and not kept it?

• Are you frustrated by self-help methods that haven’t worked for you?

• Are you not taking action to get what you want?

• Do you feel like something is sabotaging your success?

• Have you seen the movie The Secret and still not attracted what you want?

If you’re completely honest with yourself, you know there is at least one area of your life that seems too stubborn to fix.

It may be in the area of weight loss. You’ve tried diets and you’ve exercised, and the weight either stays on or comes back on fast. You feel cursed.

It may be in relationships. You’ve tried dating, you’ve tried online services, you’ve been in relationships and maybe even married, but the love doesn’t last. Something always happens to kill the romance.

Or finances. You’ve had jobs, and none of them fulfill you. Or you can’t seem to find the right vocation for you, no matter how many guidance counselors you see and resumes you write. It just feels like the world isn’t supporting you in going for your dreams. You’re always broke or always trying to catch up with your bills.

Or health. Maybe you have a nagging backache, or something more challenging, like cancer or a muscular disease. Maybe it’s an allergy, or a persistent cough, or asthma. Whatever it is, it feels like you can’t heal it or cure it because you feel destined to have it.

The general feeling in every stuck issue is that you feel like a victim. You feel that the problem is yours but the cause is elsewhere. It’s the fault of your boss, your neighbors, the president, the government, the terrorists, the pollution, global warming, your DNA, the IRS, or even God.

What’s the solution?

What’s The Key?

I’ve experienced this stuck feeling in my own life, when I was homeless and starving. I felt like the world was out to get me. I was angry at everyone, from my parents to the system, even to God. I didn’t feel I deserved this life. Struggling to eat, then to find a place to live, then to find a car were agonizing and frustrating experiences. They certainly weren’t my fault. I was a nice guy. I deserved better.

I had the same stuck experience in trying to lose weight. I was overweight as a child, as a teenager, and most of my adult life. I hated it. I blamed my parents for my body structure. I blamed them for how they raised me and how they fed me. I blamed my gym teachers for making me feel humiliated. I felt destined to stay fat, and I didn’t like it one bit.

In both cases I had a recurring problem and didn’t think I was the cause. I blamed outer circumstances. That’s what most of us do when we hit a wall and can’t get around it. It isn’t us, we think; it’s the wall. We might be successful in every other area of our lives, but when we come to this one stubborn area, we aren’t clear and can’t see our way out.

The point of this book is that there is a way out.

I call it The Key.

The Key is the missing secret to attracting whatever you want. I mean this in the most sincere way possible. It’s the truth. It’s reality. It’s your ticket to freedom.

When I was homeless, I had to look at my own beliefs. I realized that the main reason I was unhappy and struggling was because I expected to be. I woke up to the idea that I was modeling my life on authors who had been suicidal. Since I wanted to be an author like they were, I thought being melancholy was the curriculum. Once I changed my beliefs, I began to attract a new reality. I began to get work, then money, then happiness. Today I am the author of dozens of books and I’m seen in such movies as The Secret and The Opus.

What happened to the stubborn problem that I blamed others for?

The same thing happened with my obesity. Today I’m average if not fit. I’ve been in six fitness contests. I built my own gym. I’ve trained with famous bodybuilders, such as Frank Zane.

What happened to my lifelong problem that I blamed my DNA for?

In both cases I used The Key to break free.

That’s what this book is about. It’s a manual on how to attract your wildest and most wonderful dreams—no matter what they may be.

All you need is The Key.

The Key

You unconsciously demand all your experiences, and you deliver to others the experiences they subconsciously request.

—Susan Shumsky, Miracle Prayer

In the early 1900s, Wallace D. Wattles, author of The Science of Getting Rich, wrote the following in his rare, lesser-known essay, How to Get What You Want:

People fail because they think, objectively, that they can do things, but do not know, subconsciously, that they can do them. It is more than likely that your subconscious mind is even now impressed with doubts of your ability to succeed; and these must be removed, or it will withhold its power when you need it most.

Wattles was hinting at The Key to attracting whatever you want. When your conscious mind thinks you want something but your subconscious thinks you don’t deserve it (or any other limiting belief), you will fail at getting what you want. Instead, you will actually attract what you think you don’t want. In reality, you will attract what your subconscious feels is right for you. In order to attract what you prefer, your conscious and subconscious have to be in agreement.

Susan Shumsky, in Miracle Prayer, wrote, “Your conscious beliefs are what you think you believe. Your subconscious beliefs and deepest convictions are what you really believe.”

What you have in your life right now is what you wanted, at least unconsciously.

The Key is all about getting clear so your mind—both conscious and subconscious—is congruent. In my earlier book, TheAttractor Factor, I listed getting clear as the third step in the formula for attracting miracles. So we are on the same page, let me review those five steps from that book:

1. Know what you don’t want.

2. Choose what you do want.

3. Get clear.

4. Feel it already accomplished.

5. Let go while taking inspired action.

Those five steps will work for people in achieving their biggest goals and dreams. But if you practice the steps and feel blocked, or frustrated, and can’t seem to manifest your goal no matter what, it may be because you are not completely clear. It may be because of an internal struggle: Part of you wants the goal but part of you doesn’t. Your unconscious is vetoing your conscious desire.

Even people who have watched the movie The Secret, dozens and sometimes even hundreds of times, often still feel stuck in one area. That’s because they have an inner opposing belief to their stated intention. Once you get clear of that limiting belief, results happen almost instantly.

The phrase “getting clear” means you get rid of the inner roadblocks to your own desires. I call these inner obstacles counter-intentions. The best way I know to understand counter-intentions is to think back to the last New Year’s you remember.

Most likely you stated some New Year’s resolutions. You said things like, “I’m going to work out every other day” or “I’m going to stop smoking” or “I’m going to make more money selling my art” or any number of things. You had the best intentions when you stated your goals. You fully expected to achieve them.

But what happened?

By the next day you may have forgotten where the gym is located. Or you’re overeating again and have totally forgotten your resolution to improve your eating habits.

What happened is that your counter-intentions overrode your stated intentions.

Getting clear is removing the counter-intentions. When you do, you can have, do, or be anything you can imagine.

Getting clear is the missing secret to all self-help programs.

It’s The Key to attracting whatever you want.

How the Universe Works

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roofover your head, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent ofthis world.

If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among thetop 8 percent of the world’s wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

—Author unknown

Have you ever received an idea for a product or service but didn’t act on it? Maybe you got an idea for a new children’s toy, or a new shampoo, or a new gizmo to help a certain group of people. Did you act on it? If you didn’t, why not?

And let’s look at the other side of the question. Have you ever asked the universe to do something for you but didn’t get the result you requested? Did you ever visualize and not get what you imagined? If so, what happened?

In order to understand The Key, let me explain what happens between you and the universe.

1. The universe—call that huge superpower God, the Divine, Divinity, life, zero, Tao, or whatever works for you—is sending and receiving messages all the time. It’s sending inspiration to you. It’s receiving requests from you.

2. This dialogue is being filtered through your belief system, which causes you to take or not take actions.

3. The results you get are what happens from the first two steps. How you read those results is also based on your belief system.

As you can see from Figure 1 (created by Suzanne Burns), the universe (or the Divine, life, or any name that works for you to describe the nameless power), is ready to receive requests from you, and it’s also trying to send messages to you. That communication gets filtered through your beliefs. The final result is what you call your reality. But if you change those beliefs, you’ll get a different reality.

Figure 1.

For example, when you received an idea to create a new product, that idea came to you as a gift from the universe. But after you thought of the idea, you had judgments about it. Maybe you said things like, “But I don’t know how to pull this off” or “But where will I get the money?” or “Surely someone else has already thought of this.” All of those judgments and doubts were beliefs. And those beliefs stopped you from taking action. As a result, you didn’t create the product.

In fact, you probably noticed later that someone else did. This is why I’m fond of saying, “The universe likes speed.” The universe gives an idea for a new product or service to several people at the same time, knowing that most of them will talk themselves out of doing it. Success goes to those who take action.

But what about when you asked the universe for help? The universe is always there, ready to listen and fulfill. But often when it tries to help you, your own beliefs get in the way. For example, you may ask for a way to meet the ideal mate. The universe hears and tries to nudge you into joining a group where you could meet your ideal person. But you again talk yourself out of it, saying something like, “But I joined that group before” or “No one will ever want me because I’m too (fill in the blank).” Once again, the universe is trying to help, but your own beliefs prevent it from succeeding.

Figure 2.

It’s important to understand that the beliefs operating in your world are most likely not conscious. You have conscious beliefs and you have unconscious or subconscious ones. The deeper ones are the more powerful. Those beliefs are the wiring that creates the programming operating your life. In order to get clear, you have to clean up those deeper beliefs. With that in mind, the way the universe works looks more like Figure 2.

In short, you live in a belief-created universe. To change your results, you have to change your unconscious beliefs. That’s the area where you have to get clear. Again, getting clear is the missing secret to attracting whatever you want.

It’s The Key.

The Law of Attraction

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

—Thomas Jefferson
