Personal Magnetism the Art of Attractive Presence



Have you ever noticed how some individuals seem to have an invisible aura that surrounds them and makes them irresistible? People want to be around them, do business with them, and even start romantic relationships with them. Invisible magnetic forces seem to give these certain individuals advantages in life. When this power has been developed properly the very presence of these magnetic people can have a calming and relaxing effect on others. There is no denying the fact that personal magnetism exists, but how does one improve their magnetic qualities? The following is a list of what creates this personal magnetism, and how you can improve yours.

Physical Magnetism

Being Tall Helps: Even large statues with great height seem to have some kind of magnetic presence. Tall people seem create this magnetic field because of sheer genetic characteristics.

Improve your Body: One of the most powerful and direct ways of generating irresistible personal magnetism is to get in shape. When both the male and female body types build lean muscle and shed fat, they take on their distinctive shapes creating a powerful attraction. Additionally, being in great shape has been known to help self-confidence and create a powerful magnetic field.

Wardrobe Check: A person displays an image they want to portray to the world everyday when they choose what clothes to wear. Stylish clothes, jewelry, and other physical adornments can have a small effect on the overall magnetic field created by the individual.

Inner Magnetism

Send Out Positive Vibes: This is one of the most powerful tools in creating personal magnetism. Studies have shown that positive people live longer, healthier, and happier lives. When you walk in a room, or walk past another person, smile. Sending out positive vibes to others will project confidence and strength.

Find the Inner Game: Our true selves exist on a deeper level then simply our personality, attributes, and habits. Truly understanding the full potential of our mind and soul is a journey that we must take throughout our life times. Understanding the cause of our magnetism can help us understand our full potential and essentially let that light shine for others to see.

It all Comes Down to Confidence: You may read things about eating certain kinds of fish oils will make you a more magnetic person (and it may). However, the over arcing principle behind all the steps in helping you create personal magnetism is increasing your confidence. Follow each aspect carefully, and think of ways to incorporate them into your life bringing you confidence as you improve on each one. Confidence is a fickle friend. Sometimes doing one small thing, such as wearing an outfit you really think looks good can sky rocket our confidence through the roof. Additionally, confidence compounds itself like interest in the bank. The more confidence you have, the easier it is to build.

The Power of a Name



It is given at birth and typically carried around like a proud personal banner throughout our lives. Men and women pay millions of dollars to see it lavishly displayed on hospital walls or the doorways and park benches of cities. Speak it and you will create the sweetest musical note to the recipient. I speak of the extraordinary power of a person’s NAME.

Part of maximizing YOUR life will inevitably be about enriching the lives of others. When you enrich the lives of others with love and care, you begin to build a network of individuals who will befriend you, love you, and can even bring you an abundance of wealth. I have been the type of person that is “bad with names.” I would meet someone and instantly forget his or her name. At times this habit could be down right embarrassing. I recall being in a situation in which I had to repeatedly call on a customer I was doing a large amount of business with and not being able to remember her name. Each time I would call her on the phone I would once again introduce myself instead of being able to reach out to her and make that vital personal connection. The sale was nearly lost, when the customer eventually said those terrible words we have all heard before, “do you even remember my name?”

Classical theories on motivation have shown that after basic survival needs have been met, one of the greatest human motivators is the need for recognition. People want to feel IMPORTANT! Imagine the network of people you could build if you were able to put your own ego on check and tap into this amazing principle of human behavior. Although not necessarily easy, one of the simplest ways of making people feel important is calling them by their name. To be a great leader, follow the example of great leaders before you like Theodore Roosevelt. His ability to remember names left a lasting impression on an entire nation.

The reason why many of us fail to capture another’s name is that we are very caught up in our own self-consciousness. The ability to comprehend what another individual holds important is an asset of unspeakable value. Here are a few tips to help you recall another’s name.

1. Associate the name with the face. Many of us are able to recall a face, but have trouble putting a name to it. Consciously associate a person’s name to their face, the minute you are introduced.

2. Repeat the name in the conversation. Here is an example. “Great to meet you Bob, what is it that you do Bob?” That may be a little obvious, but people generally don’t notice (they like hearing their name). Here is another example if that is too obvious, “Great to meet you Bob, what is it that you do?” Bob- “Oh, I am an arms dealer.” You – “Oh that’s great Bob, how did you get into that?”

3. Give your full attention to the person. Would you agree with me, that knowing a great amount of people would be a valuable asset? Imagine each person you meet as a possible asset for building wealth (monetary or otherwise) in your life. I realize this next technique may seem a little impersonal, but think of it as a game. If you could know x amount of people by first name, how much would that be worth to you? Imagine each person you meet and remember their name and face is worth five dollars to you. While this may seem ridiculous there is a monetary and social value to every person you meet.

What is Living Infinitely Part 3/3




We have laid the groundwork for understanding the concept known as Living Infinitely. We understand that Living Infinitely is a philosophy that not only recognizes our souls as eternal, but also forms a foundation for us to unlock our Potential.

Have you ever thought, “I am destined to do something great? The concept of having an idea that you are destined for greatness is not for everyone. Many individuals I have met through the years are scared of themselves and frightened to dig deeper into their potential. If this is you, that is okay. However, Living Infinitely is for those who DESIRE a greater life and want to gain an understanding of their true potential. This website if for individuals who know deep down they are destined for a significant life and are interested in unlocking this inner capacity to succeed. The quest of Living Infinitely is to give tips and articles on maximizing your life through mind management, self- development, and positive thinking. Additionally, another purpose of Living Infinitely is to crush all the self-limiting beliefs that may have plagued your past. As Theodore Roosevelt once said, “The worst of all fears is the fear of living” and that is something that we cannot afford to keep in our lives. Living Infinitely may not happen overnight, but with diligent practice of the techniques and tips you will be on your way to getting better everyday.

Our Thoughts define us. The kind of thoughts you dwell on the most, paint a perfect picture of the kind of person you are. Try this exercise:

Go out and talk to a friend or coworker (whoever)

Have about a ten-minute conversation with them

Pay attention to the words that they repeat and any ideas that come up repeatedly (psychiatrists and literary critics use this technique often)

Pay attention to their body language particularly when certain topics arise they evoke emotions

Practice these step and you will soon find the ability to “figure someone out” very quickly. Our thoughts pour through us in everything that we do.

The purpose of the previous exercise is to gain an understanding of the degree to which our thought patterns shine through in our daily life. Therefore, in order to change the results of our life we must change our thought patterns. How do we change our thought patterns? Do we have complete controls of our thought patterns? Every individual controls not only what he or she does, but also what he or she thinks. When you say “I” will do something or “I” think something, you are truly referring to the “self” which controls these actions. The true “self” then is in absolute control of every aspect of our lives. Here also lies our connection to our Infinite nature and source of all power. Our ability to recognize the self as being in our complete control and linked to the Infinite Intelligence is the beginning to unlocking our true POTENTIAL.

Living Infinitely starts with recognizing these essential facts and capitalizing on them. When we understand that we can train our mind to create the person we are, then our possibilities are endless. When we begin to train the mind and use proven techniques for doing so, we can literally reshape our realities. In the process of doing this, you will also come to a great understanding of the “self” and of God.
