14 Insightful Quotes On The Power Of Being

April 7, 2016 By G. Mark Phillips

the power of being

We all want to attract awesome experiences.

But how do we do it?

Better yet, how do we do it on a consistent basis?

That’s the topic of my latest book, Just Be It!  The Secret To Having What You Want In Life, available in the Amazon Kindle Store.

On my own journey of discovering practical ways to enhance the human experience, I’ve encountered some seriously stellar life-changing ideas.  This book is about one of those ideas.

Simply put…

You don’t attract what you want in life, you attract what you are.

Therefore, in order to attract something (an experience, circumstance, etc.) you have to change what you are.

So ditch the wishing, wanting and yearning, and just be what you want to attract!

To help you gain a better understanding of this powerful idea, here are 14 insightful quotes on the power of being, most of which you can find in my book.

Enjoy!

1 – “Human beings are the only creatures on earth that can choose what they will be. No other creature has this Divine power.  This is the gift God gave mankind alone.” ~gmp

2 – “Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.” ~James Allen

3 – “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything.  What we think we become.” ~Buddha

4 – “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” ~Proverbs 23:7

5 – “Before you can do something, you must first be something.” ~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

6 – “Circumstances don’t matter, only state of being matters.” ~Bashar

7 – “For things to change, you have to change.” ~Jim Rohn

8 – “What you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

9 – “What you must strive after is being. In order to do, it is necessary to be.  The end of yearning is to be.” ~Neville Goddard

10 – “Change your life by changing yourself.” ~Gabrielle Goddard

And here’s one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES.  It’s from the one and only Jim Rohn.

11 – “Success is something you attract by the person you become.” ~Jim Rohn

I love this quote, because it sums up the entire process of personal development.  The endgame (i.e. the success you want to attract) of personal development is to have better experiences in life.  Better health, more fulfilling relationships, plenty of money, etc.  This only happens when you change the common denominator across all of the areas in your life… yourself.  As Mr. Rohn also points out, “Everything changes when we change.”  What a novel idea.

12 – “All of your experiences in life, flow from your conditioned state of being. To have different experiences, you must cultivate a different state of being.” ~gmp

13 – “A man is a method, a progressive arrangement, a selecting principle, gathering his like unto him wherever he goes. What you are comes to you.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

And last, but not least, my friendly jab at the iconic Nike slogan. (I actually really love the “just do it” manta.  I think it’s a super powerful tool for breaking through mental barriers, and inspiring personal action!  Kudos to Nike for bringing it into mainstream consciousness.)

14 – “Just do it is great advice, if you want to do something once.  However, to consistently act in a way that attracts the circumstances you want to have in life, you have to… Just Be It!” ~gmp

I hope this collection of quotes on the power of being has helped you see just how vital your state of being is to realizing the experiences you want to have in life.

I hope they’ll inspire you to go out there and just be it.

All the best!

Mark
