Q and A with Leslie Householder This is a transcript of an interview Leslie did in March 2006.

Why Motivation Doesn't Last If you are one of those people who get discouraged about motivation that doesn't last, look at it this way: your LUNCH didn't last either. But you aren't going to quit eating just because one meal didn't nourish you for a lifetime. Should personal development have to be a life-long commitment?

Things Undone When there's 'stuff' from our past affects our self-confidence, sometimes it's better to process that first before launching a quest for creating wealth.

Don't Slow down, CALM down The activity is just an event. The anxiety is what YOU add to it. Understanding this is a key factor in applying the law of attraction successfully.

The Heart of the Matter I have to admit that when I walked in on the first day I remember thinking, '...these people are just way too happy...' and I was skeptical, even with more than a decade of experience as a 'self-help junkie'. Then the magic began. Personal development Extraordinaire.

Exposing Yourself to an Experience If you're always strapped for time or money, then you have a "program" to make sure that never changes. A new truth will never step in until your mind has been scanned for those kinds of 'viruses'. You've got to know they are there before you can delete them, upgrade them, or at least quarantine them.

The THOUGHTS That Count...
© Leslie Householder
Author of #5 National Best-seller, "The Jackrabbit Factor: Why You Can"
ThoughtsAlive.com

If it were possible to conduct a scientific experiment with all the variables perfectly controlled where two people with the same upbringing, with the same experiences, with the same EVERYTHING were thrown the same challenge...

...their circumstances from that point on would be different from each other depending on the thoughts they chose in the face of that challenge.

No, I can't prove it. But I know it's true. In faith I try to choose empowering thoughts, believing that in the long run, it will make a difference. When I am thrown a challenge, I choose to believe that the challenge is for my own good, and I choose to look for the lesson in it. I choose to believe that something phenomenal can come out of tragedy.

My observations don't qualify as a scientific experiment using the scientific method, but after seeing it work unfailingly for more than 20 years, all I can say is we just have to have faith. Science IS trying to nail down the fundamental principles of thoughts, and their effects on the Universe (Quantum Physics); but until they can really dial it in AND get it into the school textbooks on an elementary level, we're left to experiment with the ideas in our own laboratory of life.

Have I been successful at optimizing my outcomes for all of the last 20 years? Of course not. But the effects have been just as obviously connected to my thoughts when I've VIOLATED the "laws of thought" as when I've OBEYED them. Learning the laws has simply helped me consciously my choose thoughts with absolute certainty that the results for good or for ill will unfailingly follow.

One thing I've learned is that if I can imagine it, it's possible. By LAW. An amazing concept. Not possible because it's one of those nice cliches that make you feel good, but because there is actually a fundamental law of the universe that says nothing is ever done without first a thought, AND, that if it can be thought, it can be done.

Two years ago I didn't believe I could be a best-selling author, for example. But, somewhat as an experiment, I decided to apply the laws of thought just to see if I COULD.

AFTER choosing my goal (and, admittedly it was TOUGH getting that one on paper because it was the most outlandish goal I had ever set in my life...), AFTER choosing the goal, I composed my goal statement which ended up being about 8 pages long. (For guidance on composing a goal statement properly, read The Jackrabbit Factor - a story.)

The next thing I did was to read my statement every day before working on the book. I actually put it at the top of my manuscript document, so I'd read through it before picking up where I had left off each time. I found it interesting that the details of the story came to me AFTER I made the decision to write a best-seller. (You get what you ask for out of life... so ask largely. We don't do something remarkable because we have all we need to do it... the things we need come to us AFTER we've decided to do something remarkable. It's just how it works.)

Most aspiring authors write something and then hope it gets picked up by some influential publisher who will promote it and make it a best-seller. It doesn't work that way, I've learned. For one thing, whether or not you're picked up by a publisher, it's typically still 100% your responsibility to make it go. I recommend a person decides to be a best seller even before they begin writing. Don't you think a person will be better in tune to receive remarkable ideas if they decidedly expect to create something remarkable?

Anyway, after about 2 months or so of reading my statement nearly every day, I BEGAN to think that maybe I could. I had no clue how I would, but I began to think it might be possible. How many people are willing to read something absurd over and over again until it doesn't seem absurd anymore? This goal-setting/achieving business is such an interesting process.

Then, out of the blue, certain people came into my life who helped me through each step in the process: people who knew something I needed to learn. They came to ME. Serendipitous encounters, as though I had broadcasted my needs with a megaphone, although I did not.

It was the THOUGHTS that counted.

By my thoughts, I eventually tuned in (like a radio dial) to the help I needed, because my mind was focused and I finally believed. Like a magnet! Do you realize that what you want will come to YOU as you get your thoughts right, and as you keep moving your feet?

Finally it happened. On August 30 "The Jackrabbit Factor" hit #5 on BarnesAndNoble.com. Was it exhilerating? ...Was it a rush?

(Laughter) NO. Was I disappointed?

Of course not. Do you know why? Because I had already lived the thrill repeatedly in my head for more than a year. It was more like, "Okay, now I can finally check that one off the list...another crazy idea which finally became real, just as predicted..." and then it was time to set another goal. It was simply proof again that the goal setting process, properly followed, works. Ironically, the process described in the story itself is the same process I went through to get it to best-seller status. If you'll just decide what you want, I can tell you exactly how to get it, and how to know if it's truly on it's way or not. Read "The Jackrabbit Factor: Why You Can." Read it FREE HERE.

Remember: If you want something to change, something's got to change.

YOU are the only thing you really CAN change. As you do... as you learn to think according to the Principles of Prosperity... everything else will begin to fall into place just as it should. ~ Leslie Householder
