Sure!

One of the things that I realized is that I did not want to be homeless anymore. I had been "believing" that this was my life and all that I was going to amount to. I started by envisioning that I was living in my own apartment. I started to envision myself working at my dream job. I saw myself driving a new car. (just a start)

I went out and found a job (not my dream job yet) I rode a bicycle that I borrowed to and from work (I found a job close to where I was staying) I "believed" that the only job I could get was one that didn't care about appearance because I didn't have any nice clothes. So I worked cleaning rental equipment. I started making enough money to rent a very low-end studio apartment. I was then able to buy clothes. I then "believed" that I could get a better job for more money. AND I DID! (still not my dream job) I finally realized that I needed to have some schooling to move toward my dream job, so while I was working, I spoke to EVERYONE I met about my intention until I was able to find the means (money) to go to school. I met people that showed me how to get grants and loans even in my present state. By that time I "believed" that I could finish school successfully. I worked and went to school. I finished school and immediately found a job in my field. I then made enough money to buy a NEW car. It wasn't much but it was brand new. Then, I "believed" that I was the best in my field and that I could be management. I spoke my intention to as many people that would listen. I then found a new opportunity with another company using the skills and training that I had accumulated. I spoke my intention of being management to the person that was interviewing me (pretty bold considering that it was HIS job that I said I was going to have). By this time I was married and had a beautiful daughter. (approximately 3 years from the time I decided not to be homeless)

Within 2 years I was management at this Fortune 500 company making about $125k/year. I had a large house on 5 acres and 2 brand new cars.

This is a bit of a condensed version but the point I am moving toward is that all through the process, my results were driven by my belief.

My thinking: I started by knowing what I didn't want which helped to figure out what I did want. From there, I created a belief that these things were already mine and I just had to go get them. I "believed" that it was already in the process of happening.

My feelings: I felt what it would feel like in my own apartment, my dream job, a new car. I pictured myself with these things.

My actions: I shared my intentions with everyone. This helped my to find the opportunities to accomplish my goals. People ended up in front of me that I learned from (understand that there were negative people also, I chose not to buy into their negativity) I acted on the things that moved me closer to my desires.

Since that time, I have created new beliefs about myself and what I can accomplish for myself. I no longer work for anybody but myself. I started 2 new companies that became hugely successful and then sold them for a nice profit and I currently have 2 active companies that are very successful.

I hope this gives a good general view of my interpretation of LOA.
