We pretty much all know here that to attract a goal, we must create a new belief in our SM, that is a given to anyone studying the LOA. However, even though it was a nice surprise to get my $10K NAP, it turned out to be a curse for this LOA research because now EVERYONE including myself thought that we could attract ANY goal at all, because we thought that the NAP would bypass The Doorman (which is does) and that new belief even those loaded with doubts would be considered as powerful as the ones we strongly believe.
Well, it took us a while but after all these years of testing, we finally came to the conclusion that NAPs are not the miracle technique that will convert a doubt into a strong positive belief. NAPs are just a delivery truck sending the belief you have in your CM into your SM but if your belief is weak, there is nothing that NAPs can do to turn it positive and so your SM will receive a weak belief and give you weak results.
Now regarding starting small, it's not like we didn't know about it. Not only Abraham said it above but Napoleon Hill said it too and the same with MANY LOA books that we will attract we we believe. Even in The Secret I remember very well Joe Vitale talk about attracting money and at the end he said "...but it must be believable for you".
Again, it's not that we didn't know or just heard about starting with a goal that is believable or possible for us, it's because we all thought that a NAP would be able to take our wishful thinking and turn it into reality but after doing the same Goal NAP for many months in a row and the same Cleaning NAP for many month too and then waste some more months doing a NAP with both a Goal and Cleaning NAP lines to attract our Big goal, we must come to the conclusion that it's NOT the "NAP Format" that is causing the lack of manifestation but the fact that we keep sending over and over again the same weak belief that is going nowhere.
So yes it sucks but it didn't kill us, just made us stronger and now we know that we must start at the bottom of the ladder just like everybody else studying the LOA by using a small goal but the good news is that we have NAPs to deliver our beliefs FASTER than any other technique (reading affirmations, visualizing, meditation, etc...) into our SM so we may start small like everyone else but at least if we believe that small goal, our NAP will manifest it within DAYS because our SM will be bombarded with it.
So let's suck it up, get over it and get back on the job and let's make this happen. We use small goal and if we fail then we either dump the goal all together or we try with a smaller goal. It's that simple.
