An active life makes it troublesome to fit in all the books you would like to read. Lengthy journeys to the office and mundane chores might eat up large chunks of your time everyday. Your favourite hobbies get pushed aside for more urgent projects. If you really love learning and find it troublesome to fit it in, your commute may provide an opportunity for catching up. Thanks to download technology, it’s easy to indulge in Still Life With Crows by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child by Download Audio Book Online, or audiobooks brought to life by David Sedaris without even picking up the book.

Making the best of your day is becoming a way of life these days. Audiobooks such as Sure Fire by Jack Higgins by Download Audio Book Online fill the dead moments in our daily routine, it might be minutes passed waiting at the dental surgery or taking the kids to piano lessons. Audio-books are available to download as media data files suitable for your PC, laptops and media players for example Pimsleur Russian II & III Complete Courses by Dr. Paul Pimsleur, and if you have an iPod or another mp3 player and get ready to check out a best seller or a fantastic novel, like audio books by H. Rider Haggard without carrying a heavy book around.

An added advantage of audio titles is renting or purchasing the title of your choice then listening to it in your own time. Interested in studying another language? Why not give audiobooks a shot? You can catch up on current business practises, you can even find out about religious or spiritual trends.

An extended selection of genres and titles are available. It doesn’t matter if you’re a wine devotee, crazy about science fiction and fantasy or interested in personal development, many can be downloaded at once. Numerous programs are open; it’s simple to take a subscription to a program and hire your choice of audio book or make a purchase.

Reading will always have its place, but a more convenient way may be the tremendous variety of audio titles available today. A narrator can enhance the experience of many books. Just reading a book isn’t quite the same as enjoying audio titles narrated by J. M. Barrie, with the additional niceties presented during a performance. Your reading experience can be elevated when you listen to audio titles like Birds of Prey by J. A. Jance and in many cases can mean a great deal more than the words on a page. So don’t forget about audiobooks when you next want to purchase books, audio-books are a fantastic means of squeezing all the titles you like into a frantic life.

I’ve done a lot of research, study, and practice in the area of goal-setting, and I’m happy to report that I’ve achieved much of what I’ve set out to do. However, for many years, I overlooked an important component in wish-fulfillment.

I’m a believer in setting goals and writing them down. I’m also a believer in setting up a plan for consistent followup, in order to stay on top of those goals. I’ve made advances in my career, increases in my salary, and a lot of other good things happen in my life.

But what I didn’t believe in was all that weird, spiritual, magnetic, attraction/abundance stuff. It smacked of hocus-pocus to me. Its advocates seemed little more than snake oil salespeople to me. Who needs all of that when all you need to do is set your goals and compile a system of to-do lists?

Then a friend of mine pointed something out to me that was astonishing.

Some of my goals were achieved through sheer will and might. It was like plowing through cement to achieve some of the things I’ve achieved. It was exhausting!

But other goals were achieved almost effortlessly. It was as if the Universe aligned itself in support of my goals. Help appeared when I needed it. Resources appeared when they were required. Even money found its way into my account when I most needed it.

I had never given this much thought before. If I had, I would have dismissed it by saying that it’s just the way the world works. Some things are harder than others, sometimes you have good luck, and a lot of it is just random and inexplicable.

Then my friend asked me what my mindset had been during the pursuit of my various goals. I realized that when I had a negative goal in mind, the going was much rougher than when I had a positive goal in mind.

Let me provide a couple of examples:

I had a horrible job that I hated. I sent resumes out and went on interviews but with no success. When I finally was hired somewhere else, the job turned out to be barely better than the first one. The pay was slightly better and the work was slightly better, but it was nothing even approaching the job of my dreams.

My problem was that I was only focused on getting a better job than the one I had, and I was focused on the crappiness of my existing job. So I got what I wanted - a slightly better job. But it was still crappy.

A few years later, I changed my focus. I obliterated my entire work history from my considerations, and framed in my mind the ideal job I wanted. During one of my clerical stints, I worked from someone that seemed to have a wonderful job. Not only did he seem to have a splendid salary and get to hobnob with all kinds of interesting, high-profile people, but he had his own secretary (me).

My career began to escalate, and today, interestingly enough, I’m doing the same job that my boss had been doing. I’m actually earning a higher salary, as well. (I’m not trying to brag - I’m just trying to show you that this stuff works!) I’m doing exactly what I had imagined.

Now, when I fantasize about what I want as I set my goals, I do so much more carefully! Instead of focusing on what I don’t want in my life, I focus on what I do want. Instead of thinking “I wish I weren’t so tired,” I think “I wish for more energy!” Instead of thinking “I wish I didn’t have to go to work,” I think “I wish I could do more of what I love to do on the job!”

I know many of you reading this are already on board with all of this. I’ve been amazed at the number of people who chime in when I share this information with them. They’ve been doing this for years. It works! If you’re new to this, I encourage you to learn more about it. Go to any search engine and type in “law of attraction” or “abundance” or “intention.” You’ll be amazed!
