The Keys to Success-Establishing New Combinations of Habits

This ministry and services will always be tied up with learning, growing, thinking, sharing and wonderfully becoming. I will continue to use the same learning and teaching pattern established in GGMP part III, in which I wrote in outline form encouraging the student to fulfill given assignments so that they could develop their own independent research taking advantage of free internet tools, then coming together in the Facebook group site- Life Experience Academy- to share insights, questions and comments. This web-blog was created in part for the same purpose. My hope is that it will pick up speed and interest. I’m supposing that for a long time people in the web have been accustomed to being inundated with free information and knowledge. I think people are stuffed up with so much of it. We all have been spoiled and had everything just handed to us. The result of all this in my view, is that people have become choosy in a good way and others just don’t flat out understand the treasures that are being spoiled because of not recognizing the great love and sacrifice in time and effort that goes into expressing your thoughts and life experiences.

This is why I am using a different approach to sharing information and teaching. I’m going to call it mining for Gold, as to the process of actual digging, dredging, and looking to find those trinkets or golden nuggets. In our search for that hidden knowledge and wisdom I hope that by encouraging and inspiring some of you to get involved in this mining process is that once you start discovering these hidden truths, knowledge, and wisdom, that you would learn to appreciate them as truly finding Gold. Because once you start finding it, and “…once you start organizing that knowledge into intelligent directed purposes towards chief definite goals, you will experience success” –Napoleon Hill. As Mr. Wallace D, Wattles says repeatedly in His book “The Science of Getting Rich”, “If you think in a Certain Way, and do things in a Certain Way, with a mathematical certainty you will get rich, because there is only but one shortest distance between two points.” Wow!!! Are these Golden nuggets or what?
If you are visiting this site for useful content, yes, you will find a lot of that here and you’re welcome to copy and paste, but if you’ve come to join us whom by faith I believe are here already then you’ve come to the right place, welcome!!! Are you ready? Ok, let’s have some fun.

I will now share a commentary written by the Trauma Specialist and Christian Therapist, H. Norman Wright in his book, “A Better Way to think: Using Positive Thoughts to Change Your life . Published by Revell a Division of Baker Publishing Group, Grand Rapids MI, 2011. ” He writes the following,
“The twenty-one-day rule applies to most changes we want to make. When you’ve introduced a new habit or stopped an old one, be sure to be persistent in the new behavior for at least twenty-one days. Don’t expect a new habit to feel natural right away. Some habits might take twice as long to really stick. So be patient.”[1]
I’ll share with you another quote that relates to this subject. It was written by Dr. Victor Nazario one of my professors at the Christian University, in his book, “Prosperous Leaders in The New Millennium.” He wrote,

“…This is the reason that when we try to ‘will’ ourselves to stop certain habits, they continue to rear their ugly heads in our most vulnerable moments. We think and process at a conscious level; however, we are continuously ‘overruled’ by the belief systems which are deeply rooted at a ‘subconscious’ level, which is active all the time and overpowers our conscious efforts to change our daily habits.’’
That is why it is imperative that you renew your mind. The problem is not external It is completely internal in nature. When we renew our minds, everything will begin to change and shift for the better. The bottom line is that most of our problems do not evolve from external issues. The real issue is what we believe and accept as truth within our ‘subconscious’ thought.
Dr. Wexler offers an important statement regarding the subconscious mind in page 18 of her book:
‘Your subconscious mind accepts everything you present to it as being of equal importance and reality. If you tell your subconscious mind that the “world is out to get you”- it will treat this as being totally unquestioned reality, and will encourage you to respond accordingly.
If, on the other hand, you inform your unconscious mind that the “world is on your side and supporting your success” it will treat this as a total unquestioned reality, and will guide your actions accordingly.
In short: Your subconscious mind is the source of your dreams, your hunches, your intuition… and all the “inner messages” that determine what you will (and will not) achieve in your life.’
Dr. Wexler and many other brain wave researchers believe that what you hold to be true dictates how you respond to life in general. Looking at it in this perspective brings on a deeper meaning to the verse ‘For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…’- Proverbs 23:7.”[1]

This is a portion copied from GGMP part III, Study# 2. I will now ask you to take out some time and follow this link to YouTube and listen to this audio-book portion of the “Laws of Success –Cosmic Habit Force” by Napoleon Hill. This is about an hour long. http://youtu.be/lnXwn7aLMQY  Try and answer the following questions:

1. What was this Law called or referred too previously in his evolving philosophy?
2. What did he realized about this law later on?
3. In your opinion, what relation has the “Law of Cosmic Habit Force” to the “law of attraction” mentioned in one my posts.
4. How do these Laws and the quoted material stated above relate to our practical experience?
I hope some of you will be encouraged to participate. This is what life experience is all about

As a Christian, how do I interprete "the Law of Atraction"? If you're interested in helping me find an answer, go to YouTube channel "Ricardo Perpina" and look up in history and find audio on Law of Atraction, listen a few times come back and help me sort out an answer.

I want to thank all of you that have shown interest in this subject of The Law of Attraction. But let me start by giving a WARNING!!! To those new born Christians who are just beginning to walk with Christ this subject is difficult for you right now. I highly recommend you strengthen and ground yourself in the teachings of Christ and the foundation laid by His apostles. If you don’t have a church and or Bible study group, I can share with you what God has given me the privilege to put together drawing from my own personal experience and relationship with Jesus Christ, what I have titled God’s Grand Master Plan: Spiritual Development and Growth Program. You can also follow the links to my YouTube channel “Ricardo Perpina” and start following the video complementary to the studies.

Now, for those of you who are: mature, fully grown, in the discernment of good and evil, and fully prepared for every good work, in the Love of Christ, this subject is meant for you to help me sort it out. I’m not interested in controversies or vain arguing, but for us to be open minded and unbiased, looking into whatever might belong to: “the way, the truth, and the life.” Those things which scriptures mentions, but that are not fully developed and expounded upon, simply because it was not their time to understand and apply without the power of God’s Spirit leading them to these truths. One of the amazing things I’m being led to discover in my own experience is that God put in motion certain laws that govern human growth and development; When these are fully understood, by cooperating with them, they will aid you in living more abundantly; However, when these very same laws are ignored, by moving or working against them, they will seem to give you more of what you desire, even evil.  But eventually you will be heading in the wrong direction, and  forcing your will against the righteous law against which, no one can prevail. This is the very reason most people think and say, "God is punishing me, everything is going wrong." But the true reality is, that you caused it by wrong thinking and action, the very effect you are experiencing in your outer circumstances.

I realized that after studying scriptures for a long time, I was still ignorant about these natural laws. I was well acquainted with the spiritual side of things, but I had not realized they had a physical side or equivalent as well. I’m starting to partially understand that the very Righteous Laws of God that operate in the SPIRITUAL REALM have their physical equivalent that work in the MATERIAL REALM. That these are two sides of the same coin sort of speak. I realized that if God prepared good works that we may walk in them, then how are these works to show up? How am I to discern which works they are? Well, now I understand the Law of attraction to be; that which brings towards me, those things which I must be expecting to show up, for me to fulfill my purpose, and such are those as drawing you to join me in these discoveries. Before you offer you opinion with me, and those that will be reading the posted comments, would you get acquainted with this law of attraction? If interested,  go to my YouTube page, “Ricardo Perpina”, and look at the History of videos I viewed (Audios) and click on the ones related to this subject the “Law of Attraction.” Listen to them a couple of times, meditate on it and get back to me. Remember a few things: “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” and Jesus said something like this, “Don’t judge by appearances, I say to you, judge with righteous judgment” ; and Paul told Timothy something like this, “Do not refuse prophesy but examine everything, take hold of that which is good and do away that which is not.” I hope that we can sharpen iron with iron, But in the LOVE- OF- CHRIST. These are some audios related to the Law of Attraction, click here:http://youtu.be/SjN49-ViudQ  http://youtu.be/ohEpcuAYmnk http://youtu.be/k-NjEIdZjdI  It is probably best to start with the last video/audio on this list, the movie "The Secret".
