After joining my first ever spiritual mentoring group who discussed the Law of Attraction, I began to notice a wonderful pattern emerging…

Those who openly spoke about their goals to the group were getting their goals achieved. Those who did not open up and speak about what they were *trying* to manifest were not achieving much of anything… they were the people who had very little to contribute week after week.

Speaking about your goals and also speaking about what you are in the process of achieving really does have magnificent power. Not only do you get others believing in you and your goals, but you’re taking the first steps into making them tangible and bringing them into the physical.

I believe this is the same “magic” power that Napoleon Hill talks about with writing down your goals with pen and paper. In the first chapter of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon makes it very clear that to achieve your desires, you must write them down onto paper first. It’s this first stage in making your desires tangible that is so important to the physical manifestation.

Most people dismiss this first important step because they cannot see the benefit of doing so. It’s the unseeable, untouchable, non-tangible benefits that you will most certainly receive from doing this step, not a physical benefit.

Let me give you an example of a desire that I’m working on at the moment that has become more and more real by simply speaking about it…

Earlier this year, I made the decision that I wanted to leave beautiful England and live out in Costa Rica. I visited Costa Rica last year and fell in love with the country and so, as I have no ties here in England, I set a goal to move to Costa Rica this year.

Around the time I formed this desire, I told a couple of personal friends only. As time grew on, and as I became more and more excited about the idea, I began telling more and more people about my move and even set a moving date. Within weeks of doing this, I’ve formulated a plan and attracted several wonderful contacts that will help me make this move as easy as it can be.

From being in a position where there were many uncertainties about this move, to speaking about my desires and attracting the right people I need to do it smoothly is where I have seen great benefit in being open with my desire.

Speaking your desires openly really does have a magic effect. Maybe its because others start believing in the idea too, or perhaps its just releasing the idea to the universe. I don’t know for sure, but what I do know is that those who are open about their desires and more likely to achieve them than the one’s who do not.

(For anyone interested in my Costa Rica movement… I’m leaving at the end of August this year and will be staying out there for a minimum of 3 months whilst I see whether its the place that I would like to live or not.)

If you’re looking for somewhere to express your goals and desires to make them public, feel free to let us all know what they are by posting them in a comment in this blog post.
