HAVE YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR POWER

                                                  THE SOURCE OF POWER

                    OUR BRAIN, BODY, MIND, FACULTIES, AND TALENTS ARE THE MERE INSTRUMENTS WE USE IN DEMONSTRATING GREATNESS. IN THEMSELVES THEY DO NOT MAKE US GREAT. WE MAY HAVE A LARGE BRAIN AND A GOOD MIND, STRONG FACULTIES, AND BRILLIANT TALENTS, AND YET MAY NOT BE A GREAT PERSON UNLESS WE USE ALL THESE IN A GREAT WAY. THAT QUALITY WHICH ENABLES US TO USE ALL THESE IN A GREAT WAY. THAT QUALITY WHICH ENABLES US TO USE OUR ABILITIES IN A GREAT WAY MAKE US GREAT, AND TO THAT QUALITY WE GIVE THE NAME OF WISDOM. WISDOM IS THE ESSENTIALBASIS OF GREATNESS.

                  WISDOM IS THE POWER TO PERCEIVE THE BEST ENDS TO AIM AT AND THE BEST MEANS FOR REACHING THOSE ENDS. IT IS THE POWER TO PERCIEVE THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THE PERSON WHO IS WISE ENOUGH TO KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO, WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO WISH TO DO ONLY THE RIGHT THING AND WHO IS ABLE AND STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THE RIGHT THING IS A TRULY GREAT PERSON, WHO WILL INSTANTLY BECOME MARKED AS A PERSONALITY OF POWER IN ANY COMMUNITY AND WOLL RESPECTED AND HONORED BY ALL.

                                                                          ❤❤❤❤

               WISDOM IS DEPENDENT UPON KNOWLEDGE. WHERE THERE IS COMPLETE OGNORANCE THERE CAN BE NO WISDOM, NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RIGHT THING TO DO. OUR KNOWLEDGE IS COMPARATIVELY LIMITED AND SO OUR WISDOM MUST BE SMALL, UNLESS WE CAN CONNECT OUR MIND WITH KNOWLEDGE MUST BE SMALL, UNLESSWE CAN CONNECT OUR MIND WITH KNOWLEDGE MUST BE SMALL, UNLESS WE CAN CONNECT OUR MIND WITH KNOWLEDGE GREATER THAN OUR OWN DRAW FROM IT BY INSPIRATION, THE WISDOM THAT OUR LIMITATIONS DENY US. OUR KNOWLEDGE IS LIMITED AND UNCERTAIN, THEREFORE, WE CANNOT HAVE WISDOM IN OURSELVES ALONE.

               ONLY GOD KNOWS ALL TRUTH, THEREFORE, ONLY GOD CAN HAVE REAL WISDOM OR KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO AT ALL TIMES. HOWEVER, WE CAN RECEIVE WISDOM FROM GOD. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE, ABRAHIM LINCOLN HAD LIMITED EDUCATION, BUT HE HAD THE POWER TO PERCEIVE TRUTH. IN LINCOLN WE SEE PREEMINENTLY APPARENT THE FACT THAT REAL WISDOM CONSISTS IN KNOWING THE RIGHT THING  TO DO AT ALL TIMES UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN HAVING THE WILL TO DO THE RIGHT THING, AND IN HAVING TALENT AND ABILITY ENOUGH TO BE COMPETENT AND ABLE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. BACK IN THE DAYS OF THE ABOLITION AGITATION, AND DURING THE COMPROMISE PERIOD, WHEN MOST PEOPLE WERE MORE OR LESS CONFUSED AS TO WHAT WAS RIGHT OR AS TO WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE, LINCOLN WAS NEVER UNCERTAIN. HE SAW THROUGH THE SUPERFICIAL ARGUMENTS OF THE PRO-SLAVERY ADHERENTS AND HE ALSO SAW THE IMPRACTICABILITY AND FANATICISM OF THE ABOLITIONISTS. HE SAW THE RIGHT ENDS TO AIM AT AND HE SAW THE BEST MEANS TO ATTAIN THOSE ENDS. IT WAS BECAUSE THE CITIZENS RECOGNIZED THAT HE PERCEIVED TRUTH AND KNEW THE RIGHT THING TO DO THAT THEY MADE HIM PRESIDENT.

                     PEOPLE WHO DEVELOP THE POWER TO PERCEIVE THE TRUTH, AND WHO CAN SHOW THAT THEY ALWAYS KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND THAT THEY CAN BE TRUSTED TO DO THE RIGHT THING, WILL BE HONORED AND ADVANCED, THE WHOLE WORLD IS LOOKING EAGERLY FOR SUCH LEADERS. WHEN LINCOLN BECAMEPRESIDENT, HE WAS SURROUNDED BY A MULTITUDE OF SO-CALLED ABLE ADVISERS, HARDLY ANY TWO OF WHOM WERE AGREED. AT TIMES THEY WERE ALL OPPOSED TO HIS POLICIES. AT TIMES, ALMOST THE WHOLE NORTH WAS OPPOSED TO WHAT HE PROPOSED TO DO. BUT HE SAW THE TRUTH WHEN OTHERS WERE MISLED BY APPEARANCES, HIS JUDGEMENT WAS SELDOM OR NEVER WRONG. HE WAS AT ONCE THE ABLEST STATESMAN AND THE BEST SOLDIER OF THE PERIOD. WHERE DID HE, A COMPARATIVELY UNLEARNED MAN, GET THIS WISDOM? WHERE DID HE, A COMPARATIVELY UNLEANED MAN, GET THIS WISDOM? IT WAS NOT DUT TO SOME FITNESS OF TEXTURE OF HIS BRAIN. IT WAS NOT DUE TO SOME PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC. 

IT WAS NOT EVEN A QUALITY OF MIND DUT TO SUPERIOR REASONING POWER. KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH IS NOT OFTEN REACHED BY THE PROCESSESS OF REASON. IT WAS DUT TO A SPIRITUAL INSIGHT.  HE PERCEIVED TRUTH, BUT WHERE DID HE PERCEIVE IT AND WHENCE DID THE PERCEPTION COME?

WE SEE SOMETHING SIMILAR IN GEORGE WASHIGTON, WHOSE FAITH AND COURAGE, DUT TO HIS PERCEPTION OF TRUTH, HELD THE COLONIES TOGETHER DURING THE LONG AND OFTEN APPARENTLY HOPELESS STRUGGLE OF THE REVOLUTION. WE SEE THE SAME THING IN ALL GREAT MEN AND WOMEN. THEY PERCEIVE TRUTH, BUT TRUTH CANNOT BE PERCEIVED UNTIL IT EXISTS, AND THERE CAN BE NO TRUTH UNTIL THERE IS A MIND TO PERCEIVE IT. TRUTH DOES NOT, EXIST APART FROM MIND. WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN WERE IN TOUCH AND COMMUNICATION WITH A MIND THAT KNEW ALL KNOWLEDGE AND CONTAINED ALL TRUTH - SO HAVE ALL WHO MANIFEST WISDOM. WISDOM IS OBTAINED BY READING THE MIND OF GOD.

HE LIVED ALMOST UNIVERSALLY ADMIRED AND DIED ALMOST UNIVERSALLY LAMENTED. IF HE ENJOYED LIFE MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON AT HIS TIME, IT CAN BE SAID WITH TRUTH THAT HE CONTRIBUTED AS MUCH AS ANY PERSON OF HIS TIME TO THE ENJOYMENT OF OTHERS.

HE WAS TOLERANT OF EVERYTHING BUT INTOLERANCE, AND MADE SOME CHARITABLE ALLOWANCE EVEN FOR THAT. WE SEE HIM AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF HIS LIFE ASSOCIATING ON FRIENDLY TERMS WITH QUAKERS, MORAVIANS, METHODISTS, PREBYTERIANS, CATHOLICS, DEISTS, JEWS AND ATHEISTS MEETING THEM ON THE COMMON GROUND OF HUMAN FELLOWSHIP, MAKING LIGHT OF THEIR THEORETICAL OPINIONS, VALUING THEM ONLY FOR THEIR HUMAN WORTH. 

THIS WAS BECAUSE HE DID NOT OVERESTIMATE HUMAN INTELLECT NOR UNDERVALUE THE HUMAN HEART. HE WAS ALSO AWARE THAT THE STRONGHOLDS OF SUPERSTITION ARE NEVER TO BE CARRIED BY DIRECT ASSAULT BUT GRADUALLY UNDERMINED BY THE RISING TIDE OF KNOWLEDGE AND GOOD FEELING. HIS WHOLE LIFE WAS A CALM, GOOD-NATURED PROTEST AGAINST NARROWNESS, INTOLERANCE AND BIGOTRY. HE LIVED BY THE PREMISE THAT THE ACCEPTABLE WAY OF SERVING GOD IS DO GOOD TO HIS OTHER CREATURES.

KNOW ABOUT YOGA

                                      THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BODY

👀👀👀👀👀

 

              INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CLEANLENESS BEING ESTABLISHED, ARISES DISGUST FOR ONE'S BODY, AND NON-INTERCOURSE WITH OTHER BODIES.

            WHEN THERE IS REAL PUFIFICATION OF THE BODY, EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL, THERE ARISES  NEGLECT OF THE BODY, AND ALL THIS IDEA OF KEEPING IT NICE WILL VANISH. WHAT OTHERS CALL THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FACE TO THE YOGI WILL APPEAR TO BE AN  ANIMAL'S FACE, IF THERE IS NOT INTELLIGENCE BEHIND IT. WHAT THE WORLD WILL CALL A VERY COMMON FACE HE WILL CALL HEAVENLY, IF THAT SPIRIT SHINES BEHIND IT. THIS THIRST AFTER BODY IS THE GREAT BANE OF HUMAN LIFE. SO, WHEN THIS PURITY IS ESTABLISHED, THE FIRST SIGN WILL BE THAT YOU DO NOT CARE TO THINK YOU ARE A BODY. IT IS ONLY WHEN PURITY COMES THAT WE GET RID OF THIS BODY IDEA.

            THERE ALSO ARISES PURIFICATION OF THE SATTVA, CHEERFULNESS OF THE MIND, CONCENTRATION, CONQUEST OF THE ORGANS, AND FITNESS FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE SELF.

           BY THIS PRACTICE THE SATTVA MATERIAL WILL PREVAIL, AND THE MIND WILL BECOME CONCENTRATED AND CHEERFUL. THE FIRST SIGN THAT YOU ARE BECOMING RELIGIOUS IS THAT YOU ARE BECOMING CHEERFUL. WHEN A MAN IS GLOOMY THAT MAY BE DYSPEPSIA, BUT IT IS NOT RELIGION. A PLEASURABLE TO THE SATTVIKA MAN, AND WHEN THIS PAIN IS CAUSED BY TAMAS, SO YOU MUST GET RID OF THAT,  MOROSENESS IS ONE OF THE RESULTS OF TAMAS. THE STRONG, THE WELL-KNIT, THE YOUNG THE HEALTHY, THE DARING ALONE ARE FIT TO BE YOGIS. TO THE YOGI EVERYTHING IS BLISS, EVERY HUMAN FACE THAT HE SEES BRINGS CHEERFULNESS TO HIM. THAT IS THE SIGN OF A VIRTUOUS MAN. MISERY IS CAUSED BY SIN, AND BY NO OTHER CAUSE. WHAT BUSINESS HAVE YOU WITH  CLOUDED FACES, IT IS TERRIBLE. IF YOU HAVE A CLOUDED FACE FO NOT GO OUT THAT DAY, SHUT YOURSELF UP IN YOUR ROOM. WHAT RIGHT HAVE YOU TO CARRY THIS DISEASE  OUT  INTO THE WORLD? WHEN YOUR MIND HAS BECOME CONTROLLED YOU WILL HAVE CONTROL OVER THE WHOLE BODY, INSTEAD OF BEING A SLAVE TO THE MACHINE, THE MACHINE WILL BE YOUR SLAVE. INSTEAD OF THIS MACHINE BEING ABLE TO DRAG THE SOUL DOWN, IT WILL BE ITS GREATEST HELPMATE.

                        FROM CONTENTMENT COMES SUPERLATIVE HAPPINESS. THE RESULT OF MORTIFICATION IS BRINGING POWERS TO THE ORGANS AND THE BODY, BY DESTROYING THE IMPURITY. THE RESULTS OF MORTIFICATION ARE SEEN IMMEDIATELY SOMETIMES BY HEIGHTENED POWERS OF VISION, AND SO ON, HEARING THINGS AT A DISTANCE, ETC.

                                                                             ❤❤❤❤❤❤

                    BY REPETITION OF THE MANTRAS COMES THE REALISATION OF THE INTENDED DEITY. THE HIGHER THE BEINGS THAT YOU WANT TO GET, THE HARDER IS THE PRACTICE. BY SACRIFICING ALL TO ISVARA COMES SAMADHI. BY RESIGNATION TO THE LORD, SAMADHI BECOMES PERFECT. POPSTURE IS THAT WHICH IS FIRM AND PLEASANT. NOW COMES ASANA, POSTURE, UNTIL YOU CAN GET A FIRM SEAT YOU CANNOT PRACTICE BREATHING AND OTHER EXERCISE. THE SEAT BEING FIRM MEANS THAT YOU DO NOT FEEL THE BODY AT ALL, THEN ALONE IT HAS BECOME FIRM. BUT, IN THE ORDINARY WAY, YOU WILL FIND THAT AS SOON AS YOU SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES ALL SORTS OF DISTURBANCES COME INTO THE BODY, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE GOT BEYOND THE IDEA OF CONCRETE BODY YOU WILL LOSE ALL SENSE OF THE BODY. YOU WILL FEEL NEITHER PLEASURE NOR PAIN. AND WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR BODY UP AGAIN IT WILL FEEL SO RESTED, IT IS THE ONLY PERFECT REST THAT YOU CAN GIVE TO THE BODY. WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN CONQUERING THE BODY AND KEEPING IT FIRM, YOUR PRACTICE WILL REMAIN FIRM, BUT WHILE YOU ARE DISTURBED BY THE BODY YOUR NERVES BECOME DISTURBED, AND YOU CANNOT CONCENTRATE THE MIND. WE CAN MAKE THE SEAT FIRM BY THINKING OF THE INFINITE. WE CANNOT THINK OF THE ABSOLUTE INFINITE, BUT WE CAN THINK OF THE INFINITE SKY.

                   BY SLIGHT EFFORT AND MEDIATING OF THE UNLIMITED (POSTURE BECOMES FIRM AND PLEASANT), LIGHT AND DARKNESS, PLEASURE AND PAIN, WILL NOR THEN DISTURB YOU. SEAT BEING CONQUERED THE DUALITIES DO NOT OBSTRUCT. THE DUALITIES ARE GOOD AND BAD, HEAT AND COLD, AND ALL THE PAIRS OF OPPOSITES. 

                 CONTROLLING  THE MOTION OF THE EXHALATION AND THE INHALATION FOLLOWS AFTER THIS. WHEN THE POSTURE HAS BEEN CONQUERED, THEN THIS MOTION IS TO BE BROKEN AND CONTROLLED, AND THUS WE COME TO PRANAYAMA, THE CONTROLLING OF THE VITAL FORCES OF THE BODY. PRANA IS NOT BREATH, THOUGH IT IS USUALLY SO TRANSLATED. IT IS THE SUM TOTAL OF THE COSMIC ENERGY. IT IS THE ENERGY THAT IS IN EACH OBDY, AND ITS MOST APPARENT MANIFESTATION IS THE MOTION OF THE LUNGS. THIS MOTION IS CAUSED BY PRANA DRAWING IN THE BREATH, AND IS WHAT WE SEEK TO CONTROL IN PRANAYAMA. WE BEGIN BY CONTROLLING THE BREATH, AS THE EASIEST WAY OF GETTING CONTROL OF THE PRANA.

ITS MODIFICATIONS ARE EITHER EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL, OR MOTIONLESS, REGULATED BY PLACE, TIME, AND NUMBER, EITHER LONG OR SHORT. THE THREE SORTS OF MOTION OF THIS PRANAYAMA ARE, ONE BY WHICH WE DRAW THE BREATH IN, ANOTHER BY WHICH WE THROW IT OUT, AND THE THIRD ACTION IS WHEN THE BREATH IS HELD IN THE LUNGS, OR STOPPED FROM ENTERING THE LUNGS. THESE, AGAIN, ARE VARIED BY PLACE AND TIME. BY PLACE IS MEANT THAT THE PRANA IS HELD TO SOME PARTICULAR PART OF THE BODY. BY TIME IS MEANT HOW LONG THE PRANA SHOULD BE CONFINED TO A CERTAIN PLACE, AND SO WE ARE TOLD HOW MANY SECONDS TO KEEP ON MOTION, AND HOW MANY SECONDS TO KEEP ANOTHER. THE RESULT OF THIS PRANAYAMA IS UDGHATA, AWAKENING THE KUNDALINI.

THE FOURTH IS RESTRAINING THE PRANA BY DIRECTING IT EITHER TO THE EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL OBJECTS. THIS IS THE FOURTH SORT OF PRANAYAMA. PRANA CAN BE DIRECTED EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. FORM THAT, THE COVERING TO THE LIHT OF THE CHITTA IS ATTENUATED. THE CHITTA HAS, BY ITS OWN NATURE, ALL KNOWLEDGE. IT IS MADE SATTVA PARTICLES, BUT IS COVERED BY RAJAS AND TAMAS PARTICLES, AND BY PRANAYAMA THIS COVERING IS REMOVED.

AFTER THIS COVERING HAS BEEN REMOVED WE ARE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE THE MIND. 

THE DRAWING IN OF THE ORGANS IS BY THEIR GIVING UP THEIR OWN OBJECTS AND TAKING THE FORM OF THE MIND-STUFF. THIS ORGANS ARE SEPERATE STATES OF THE MIND-STUFF. I SEE A BOOK, THE FORM IS NOT IN THE BOOK, IT IS IN THE MIND. SOMETHING IS OUTSIDE WHICH CALLS THAT FORM UP. THE REAL FORM IS IN THE CHITTA. THESE ORGANS ARE IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES WITH, AND TAKING THE FORMS OF WHATEVER COMES TO THEM., IF YOU CAN RESTRAIN THE MIND-STUFF FROM TAKING FROM THESE FORMS THE MIND WILL REMAIN CALM. THIS IS CALLED PRATYAHARA. THENCE ARISES SUPREME CONTROL OF THE OFGANS.

WHEN THE YOGI HAS SUCCEEDED IN PREVENTING THE ORGANS FROM TAKING THE FORMS OF EXTERNAL OBJECTS, AND IN MAKING THEM REMAIN ONE WIH THE MIND-STUFF, THEN  COMES PERFECT CONTROL OF THE ORGANS, AND WHEN THE ORGANS ARE PERFECTLY UNDER CONTROL, EVERY MUSCLE AND NERVE WILL BE UNDER CONTROL, BECAUSE THE ORGANS ARE THE CENTRES OF ALL THE SENSATIONS, AND OF ALL ACTIONS. THESE ORGANS ARE DIVIDED INTO ORGANS OF WORK AND ORGANS OF SENSATION. WHEN THE ORGANS ARE CONTROLLED THE YOGI CAN CONTROL ALL FEELING AND DOING, THE WHOLE OF THE BODY WILL BE UNDER HIS CONTROL. THEN ALONE ONE BEGINS TO FEEL JOY IN BEING BORN, THEN ONE CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY, "BLESSED AM I THAT I WAS BORN". WHEN THAT CONTROL OF THE ORGANS IS OBTAINED, WE FEEL HOW WONDERFUL THIS BODY REALLY IS.

USE YOUR WILL POWER

                                      

                                           HOW TO USE YOUR WILL POWER

   

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

                 TO SET ABOUT GETTING RICH IN A SCIENTIFIC WAY, YOU DO NOT TRY TO APPLY YOUR WILL POWER TO ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF.

             YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO SO, ANYWAY. IT IS WRONG TO APPLY YOUR WILL TO OTHER MENA AND WOMEN, IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO DO WHAT YOU WISH DONE. IT IS AS FLAGRANTLY WRONG TO COERCE PEOPLE BY MENTAL POWER, AS IT IS TO COERCE THEM BY PHYSICAL POWER. IF COMPELLING PEOPLE BY PHYSICAL FORCE TO DO THINGS FOR YOU REDUCES THEM TO SLAVERY, COMPELLING THEM BY MENTAL MEANS ACCOMPLISHES EXACTLY THE SAMETHING, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS IN METHODS, IF TAKING THINGS FROM PEOPLE BY PHYSICAL FORCE IS ROBBERY, THEN TAKING THINGS BY MENTAL FORCE IS ROBBERY ALSO, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN PRINCIPLE.

            YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO USE YOUR WILL POWER UPON ANOTHER PERSON, EVEN "FOR HIS OR HER OWN GOOD" FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS FOR THAT PERSON'S GOOD. THE SECRET OF GETTING RICH DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO APPLY POWER OR FOCE TO ANY OTHER PERSON, IN ANY WAY WHATSOVER. THERE IS NOT THE SLIGHTES NECESSITY FOR DOING SO, INDEED, ANY ATTEMPT TO USE YOUR WILL UPON OTHERS ONLY TEND TO DEFEAT YOUR PURPOSE.

           YOU DO NOT NEED TO APPLY YOUR WILL TO THINGS, IN ODER TO COMPEL THEM TO COME TO YOU.

         THAT WOULD SIMPLY BE TRYING TO COERCE GOD, AND WOULD BE FOOLISH AND USELESS, AS WELL AS IRREVERENT.

         YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMPEL GOD TO GIVE YOU GOOD THINGS, ANY MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR WILL POWER TO MAKE THE SUN RISE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE YOUR WILL POWER TO CONQUER AN UNFRIENDLY DEITY OR TO MAKE STUBBORN AND REBELLIOUS FORCES DO YOUR BIDDING.

          SUBSTANCE IS FRIENDLY TO YOU, AND IS MORE ANXIOUS TO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT THEN YOU AE TO GET IT. TO GET RICH,YOU NEED ONLY TO USE YOUR WILL POWER UPON YOURSELF. WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO THINK AND DO, THEN YOU MUST USE YOUR WILL TO COMPEL YOURSELF TO THINK AND DO THE RIGHT THINGS. THAT IS THE LEGITIMATE USE OF THE WILL IN GETTING WHAT YOU WANT - TO USE IT IN HOLDING YOURSELF TO THE RIGHT COURSE. USE YOUR WILL TO KEEP YOURSELF THINKING AND ACTING IN THE CERTAIN WAY.

          DO NOT TRY TO PROJECT YOUR WILL OR YOUR THOUGHTS, OR YOUR MIND OUT INTO SPACE, TO ACT ON THINGS OR PEOPLE.  KEEP YOUR MIND AT HOME, IT CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE THERE THAN ELSEWHERE. USE YOUR MIND TO FORM A MENTAL IMAGE OF WHAT YOU WANT, AND TO HOLD THAT VISION WITH FAITH AND PURPOSE, AND USE YOUR WILL TO KEEP YOUR MIND WORKING IN THE RIGHTWAY.

          THE MORE STEADY AND CONTINUOUS YOUR FAITH AND PURPOSE, THE MORE RAPIDLY YOU WILL GET RICH, BECAUSE YOU WILL MAKE ONLY POSITIVE IMPRESSIONS UPON SUBSTANCE, AND YOU WILL NOT NEUTRALIZE OR OFFSET THEM BY NEGATIVE IMPRESSIONS. THE PICTURE OF YOUR DESIRES, HELD WITH FAITH AND PURPOSE, IS TAKEN UP BY THE DIVINE, AND PERMEATES IT TO GREAT DISTANCES THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. AT THIS IMPRESSION SPREADS, ALL THINGS ARE SET MOVING TOWARD ITS REALIZATION EVERY LIVING THING, EVERY INANIMATE THING, AND THE THINGS YET UNCREATED, ARE STIRRED TOWARD BRINGING INTO BEING THAT WHICH YOU WANT. ALL FORCE BEGINS TO BE EXERTED IN THAT DIRECTION ALL THINGS BEGIN TO MOVE TOWARD YOU. THE MINDS OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, ARE INFLUECED TOWARD DOING THE THINGS NECESSARY TO THE FULFILLING OF YOUR DESIRES, AND THEY WORK FOR YOU, INCONSCIOUSLY.

BUT YOU CAN CHECK ALL THIS BY STARTING A NEGATIVE IMPRESSION IN THE DIVINE SUBSTANCE. DOUBT OR UNBELIEF IS AS CERTAIN TO START A MOVEMENT AWAY FROM YOU, AS FAITH AND PURPOSE ARE TO START ONE TOWARD YOU. IT IS BY NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO TRY TO MAKE USE OF "MENTAL SCIENCE"IN GETTING RICH MAKE THERI FAILURE. EVERY HOUR AND MOMENT YOU SPEND IN GIVING HEED TO DOUBTS AND FEARS, EVERY HOUR YOU SPEND IN WORRY, EVERY HOUR IN WHICH YOUR SOUL IS POSSESSED BY UNBELIEF SETS A CURRENT AWAY FROM YOU IN THE WHOLE DOMAIN OF INTELLIGENT SUBSTANCES. ALL THE PROMISES ARE UNTO THEM THAT BELIEVE, AND UNTO THEM ONLY.

SINCE BELIEF IS ALL-IMPORTANT, IT BEHOOVES YOU A GUARD YOUR THOUGHT. AS YOUR BELIEFS WILL BE SHAPED TO A VERY GREAT EXTENT BY THE THINGS YOU OBSERVE AND THINK ABOUT, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SHOULD COMMAND YOUR  ATTENTION. AND HERE THE WILL COMES INTO USE, FOR IT IS BY YOUR WILL THAT YOU DETERMINE UPON WHAT THINGS YOU ATTENTION SHALL BE FIXED. IF YOU WANT TO BECOME RICH, YOU MUST NOT MAKE A STUDY OF POVERTY. THINGS ARE NOT BROUGHT INTO BEING BY THINKING ABOUT THEIR OPPOSITES. HEALTH IS NEVER TO BE ATTAINED BY STUDYING DESEASE AND THINKING ABOUT DISEASE, RIGHTEOUSENSS IS NOT TO BE PROMOTED BY STUDYING POVERTY AND THINKING ABOUT POVERY. 

MEDICINE AS A SCIENCE OF DESEASE HAS INCREASED DISEASE, RELIGION AS A SCIENCE OF SIN HAS PROMOTED SIN, AND ECONOMICS AS A STUDY OF POVERTY WILL FILL THE WORLDWITH WRETCHEDNESS AND WANT. DO NOT TALK ABOUT POVERTY, DO NOT INVESTIGATE IT, OR CONCERN YOURSELF WITH IT. NEVER MIND WHAT ITS CAUSES ARE, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.WHAT CONCERNS YOU IS THE CURE.

GET RICH! THAT IS THE BEST WAY YOU CAN HELP THE POOR. IF YOU FILL YOUR MIND WITH PICTURE OF POVERTY, YOU CANNOT HOLD THE MENTAL IMAGE THAT IS TO MAKE YOU RICH. DO NOT READ  BOOKS OR PAPERS THAT GIVES CIRCUMSTANTIAL ACCOUTS OF THE WRETCHEDNESS OF THE TENEMENT DWELLERS, OF THE HORRORS OF CHILD LABOR, AND SO ON, DO NOT READ ANYTHING THAT FILLS YOUR MIND WITH GLOOMY IMAGES OF WANT AND SUFFERING.

YOU CANOT HELP THE POOR IN THE LEAST BY KNOWING ABOUT THESE THINGS, AND THE WIDESPREAD KNOWLEDGE OF THEM DOES NOT TREN AT ALL TO DO AWAY WITH POVETY. WHAT ENDS TO DO AWAY WITH POVERTY IS NOT THE GETTING OF PICTURES OF POVERTY INTO YOUR MIND, BUT GETTING PICTURES OF WELATH INTO THE INDS OF THE POOR. YOU ARE NOT DESERTING THE POOR  IN THEIR MISERY WHEN YOU REFUSE TO ALLOW YOUR MIND TO BE FILLED WITH PICTURES OF THAT MISERY. 

POVERTY CAN BE AWAY WITH, NOT BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF WELL TO DO PEOPLE WHO THINK ABOUT POVERTY, BUT BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF POOR PEOPLE WHO PURPOSE WITH FAITH TO GET RICH. THE POOR DO NOT NEED CHARTY, THEY NEED INSPIRATION. CLARITY ONLY SENDS THEM A LOAF OF BREAD TO KEEP THEM ALIVE IN THEIR WRETCHEDNESS, OR GIVES THEM AN ENTERTAINMENT TO MAKE THEM FORGET FOR AN HOUR OR TWO, BUT INSPIRATION WILL CAUSE THEM TO RISE OUT OF THEIR MISERY. IF YOU WANT TO HELP THE POOR, DEMONSTRATE TO THEM THAT THEY CAN BECOME RICH, PROVE IT BY GETTING RICH YOURSELF.

THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH BECOME RICH BY CREATION, NOT BY COMPETITION. THOSE WHO BECOME RICH BY COMPETITION THROW DOWN BEHIND THEM THE LADDER BY WHICH THEY RISE, AND KEEP OTHERS DOWN, BUT THOSE WHO GET RICH BY CREATION OPEN A WAY FOR THOUSANDS TO FOLLOW THEM AND INSPIRE THEM TO DO SO.

YOU ARE NOT SHOWING HARDNESS OF HEART OR AN UNFEELING DISPOSITION WHEN YOU REFUSE TO PITY POVERTY, SEE POVERTY, READ ABOUT POVERTY, OR THINK OR TALK ABOUT IT, OR TO LISTEN TO THOSE WHO DO TALK ABOUT IT. USE YOUR WILL POWER TO KEEP YOUR MIND OFF THE SUBJECT OF POVERTY, AND TO KEEP IT FIXED WITH FAITH AND PRUPOSE ON THE VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT.

SEARCH YOUR RIGHT BUSINESS

                                      GETTING INTO THE RIGHT BUSINESS

               SUCCESS, IN ANY PARTICULAR BUSINESS, DEPENDS FOR ONE THING UPON YOUR POSSESSING IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE THE FACULTIES REQUIRED IN THAT BUSINESS.

            WITHOUT GOOD MUSICAL FACULTY NO ONE SUCCEED AS A TEACHER OF MUSIC, WITHOUT WELL-DEVELOPED MECHANICAL FACULTIES NO ONE CAN ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS IN ANY OF THE MACHANICAL TRADERS, WITHOUT TACT COMMERCIAL FACULTIES NO ONE CAN SUCCEED IN MERCANTILE PURSUIT. BUT TO POSSESS IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE THE FACULTIES REQUIRED IN YOUR PARTICULAR VOCATION DOES NOT INSURE GETTING RICH, THER ARE MUSICIANS WHO HAVE REMARKABLE TALENT, AND WHO YET REMAIN POOR, THERE ARE BLACKSMITHS, CARPENTERS, AND SO ONE WHO HAVE EXCELLENT MACHANICAL ABILITY, BUT WHO DO NOT GET RICH, AND THERE ARE MERCHANTS WITH GOOD FACULTIES FOR DEALING WITH MEN WHO NEVERTHELESS FAIL.

           THE DIFFERENT FACULTIES ARE TOOLS. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE GOOD TOOLS, BUT IT IS ALSO ESSENTIAL THAT THE TOOLS SHOULD BE USED IN THE RIGHT WAY. ONE CARPENTER CAN TAKE A SHARP SAW, A SQUARE, A GOOD PLANE, AND SO ON, AND BUILD A HANDSOME ARTICLE OF FURNITURE, ANOTHER CARPENTER CAN TAKE THE SAME TOOLS AND SET TO WORK TO DUPLICATE THE ARTICLE, BUT THE PRODUCTION WILL BE A  BOTCH. THAT CARPENTER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO USE GOOD TOOLS IN A SUCCESSFUL WAY.

            THE VARIOUS FACULTIES OF YOUR MIND ARE THE TOOLS WITH WHICH YOU MUST DO THE WORK THAT IS TO MAKE YOU RICH. IT WILL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO SUCCEED IF YOU GET INTO A BUSINESS FOR WHICH YOU ARE WELL EQUIPPED WITH MENTAL TOOLS.

            GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU WILL DO BEST IN THAT BUSINESS WHICH WILL USE YOUR STRONGEST FACULTIES, THE ONE FOR WHICH YOU ARE NATURALLY "BEST FITTED". BUT THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO THIS STATEMENT, ALSO. WE NEVER SHOULD REGARD OUR VOCATION AS BEING IRREVOCABLY FIXED BY THE TENDENCIES WITH WHICH WE WERE BORN.

             YOU CAN GET RICH IN ANY BUSINESS. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TALENT, YOU CAN DEVELOP THAT TALENT. IT MERELY MEANS THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE YOUR TOOLS AS YOU GO ALONG, INSTEAD OF CONFINING YOURSELF TO THE USE OF THOSE WITH WHICH YOU WERE BORN. IT WILL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO SUCCEED IN A VOCATION FOR WHICH YOU ALREADY HAVE THE TALENTS IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE, BUT YOU CAN SUCCEED IN ANY VOCATION. YOU CAN DEVELOP ANY RUDIMENTARY TALENT, AND THERE IS NO TALENT OF WHICH YOU HAVE NOT AT LEAST THE RUDIEMENT.

               YOU WILL GET RICH MOST EASILY IN POINT OF EFFORT, IF YOU DO THAT FOR WHICH YOU ARE BEST FITTED, BUT YOU WILL GET RICH OST SATISFACTORILY IF YOU DO THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO DO.

             DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS LIFE, AND THERE IS NO REAL SATISFACTION IN LIVING IF WE ARE COMPELLED TO BE FOREVER DOING SOMTHING THAT WE DO NOT LIKE TO DO, AND CAN NEVER DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO. AND IT IS CERTAIN THAT YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. THE DESIRE TO DO IT IS PROOF THAT YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU THE POWER THAT CAN DO IT.

                                            DESIRE IS A MANIFESTATION OF POWER.

 

                  THE DESIRE TO PLAY MUSIC IS THE POWER THAT CAN PLAY MUSIC SEEKING EXPRESSION AND DEVELOPMENT, THE DESIRE TO INVENT MECHANICAL DEVICES IS THE MECHANICAL TALENT SEEKING EXPRESSION AND DEVELOPMENT.

              WHERE THERE IS NO POWER, EITHER DEVELOPED OR UNDEVELOPED, TO DO A THING, THERE IS NEVER ANY DESIRE TO DO THAT THING. WHERE THER IS STRONG DESIRE TO DO A THING, IT IS CERTAIN PROOF THAT THE POWER TO DO IT IS STRONG AND ONLY REQUIRES DEVELOPING AND APPLYING IT IN THE RIGHT WAY.

          ALL THINGS ELSE BEING EQUAL, IT IS BEST TO SELECT THE BUSINESS FOR WHICH YOU HAVE TO THE BEST DEVELOPET TALENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE A STRONG DESIRE  TO ENGAGE IN ANY PARTICULAR LINE OF WORK, YOU SHOULD SELECT THAT WORK AS THE ULTIMATE END AT WHICH YOU AIM.

                YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND IT IS YOUR RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE TO FOLLOW THE BUSINESS OR AVOCATION THAT WILL BE MOST CONGENIAL AND PLEASANT.

             YOU ARE NOT BLIGED TO DO WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE TO DO, AND SHOULD NOT DO IT EXCEPT AS A MEANS TO BRING YOU TO THE DOING OF THE THINGYOU WANT TO DO .

           IF THER ARE PAST MISTAKE WHOSE CONSEQUENCES HAVE PLACED YOU IN AN UNDESIRABLE BUSINESS OR ENVIRONMENT, YOU MAY BE OBLIGED FOR SOME TIME TO DO WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE TO DO. HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THE DOING OF IT PLEASANT BY KNOWING THAT IT IS MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO COME TO THE DOING OF WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

          

IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT VOCATION, DO NOT ACT TOO, HASTILY IN TRYIG TO GET INTO ANOTHER ONE. THE BEST WAY, GENERALLY, A CHANGE BUSINESS OR ENVIRONMENT IS BY GROWTH. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO MAKE A SUDDEN AND RADICAL CHANGE IF THE OPPORTUNITY IS PRESENTED, AND YOU FEEL AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION THAT IT IS THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY, BUT NEVER TAKE SUDDEN OR RADICAL ACTION WHEN YOU AE IN DOUBT AS TO THE WISDOM OF DOING SO.

 

THERE IS NEVER ANY HURRY ON THE CREATIVE PLANE, AND THERE IS NO LACK OF OPPORTUNITY.

WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE COMPETITIVE MIND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEVER NEED TO ACT HASILY. NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO BEAT YOU TO THE THING YOU WANT TO DO, THERE IS ENOUGHT FOR ALL. IF ONE SPACE IS TAKEN, ANOTHER  AND A BETTER ONE WILL BE OPENED FOR YOU A LITTLE FARTHER ON, THER IS PLENTY OF TIME. WHEN YOU ARE IN DOUBT, WAIT. FALL BACK ON THE CONTEMPLATION OF YOUR VISION AND INCREASE YOUR FAITH, AND PURPOSE, AND BY ALL MEAN, IN TIME OF DOUBT AND INDECISION, CULTIVATE GRATITUDE.

               A DAY OR TWO SPENT IN CONTEMPLATING THE VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT, AND IN EARNEST THANKGIVING THAT YOU ARE GETTING IT, WILL BRING YOUR MIND INTO SUCH CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SUPREME THAT YOU WILL MAKE TO MISTAKE WHEN YOU DO ACT.

              THERE IS A MIND THAT KNOWS ALL THERE IS TO KNOW, AND YOU CAN COME INTO CLOSE INITY WITH THIS MIND BY FAITH AND THE PURPOSE TO ADVANCE IN LIFE, IF YOU HAVE DEEP GRATITUDE.

             MISTAKES COME FROM ACTING HASTILY, OR FROM ACTING IN FEAR OR DOUBT, OR IN FORGETFULNESS OF THE RIGHT MOTIVE, WHICH IS MORE LIFE TO ALL, AND LESS TO NONE.

          AS YOU GO ON IN THE CERTAIN WAY, OPPORTUNITIES WILL COME TO YOU IN INCREASING NUMBER, AND YOU WILL NEED TO BE VERY STEADY IN YOUR FAITH AND PURPOSE, AND TO KEEP IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH GOD BY REVERENT GRATITUDE.

           DO ALL THAT YOU DO IN A PERFECT MANNER EVERY DAY, BUT DO IT WITHOUT HASTE, WORRY, OR FEAR, GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN, BUT NEVER HURRY.

           REMEMBER THAT IN THE MOMENT YOU BEGIN TO HURRY YOU CEASE TO BE A CREATOR AND BECOME A COMPETITOR, YOU DROP BACK UPON THE OLD PLACE AGAIN.

        WHENEVER YOU FIND YOURSELF HURRYING, CALL A HALT, FIX YOUR ATTENTION ON THE MENTAL IMAGE OF THE THING YOU  WANT, AND BEGIN TO GIVE THANKS THAT YOU ARE GETTING IT. THE EXERCISE OF GRATITUDE WILL NEVER FAIL TO STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH AND RENEW YOUR PURPOSE.

HAPPY LIFE

                                                 FEEL HAPPY😇😇😇

                                                                          ❤❤❤❤

                   WE LIVE IN A TIME WHEN THINGS CHANGE AT A PACE MUCH FASTER THAN WE CAN IMAGINE. ALL ALONG,  WE THOUGHT IF WE MANAGE TO HAVE A GOOD HOUSE, A NICE AUTOMOBILE, PLENTY OF MONEY TO ENJOY A COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE, AN UNDERSTANDING AND LOVING PARTNER, A NICE FAMILY, AND REGULAR VACATIONS, WE ARE DONE, EVERYTHING OVER AND BEYOND WILL BE A BONUS. GUESS WHAT? OUR NEEDS ARE NEVER - ENDING AND RIGHTFULLY SO - IT SHOULD NOT END OR WE WILL HAVE NO GOAL TO PURSUE.

              IN THE PAST, WE WERE HAPPY WITH A FIVE HUNDREDSQUARE-FEET HOUSE FOR A FAMILY OF SEVEN. TODAY, EVEN A ONE THOUSAND - FIVE HUNDRED-SQUARE-FEET HOURSE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR. ONECE, A NICE TELEVISION COUND SURVIVE FOR A DECADE, AND TODAY, EVEN THREE FLAT - SCREEN TELEVISIONS ARE NOT ADEQUATE DESPITE BEING CHANGED EVERY FEW YEARS. SUCH EXAMPLES ARE NUMEROUS. LET'S NOT FORGET THE EVERCHANGING MOBILE PHONE MODELS-OUR LIFE COMES TO A STANDSTILL IF WE WITHOUT ONE FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR.

            SURE, IT IS A LAW OF NATURE - TODAY IS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY, AND TOMARROW WILL BE BETTER THAN TODY. WE ARE LIVING A BETTER LIFE THAN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION, AND THE NEXT GENERATION WILL LIVE AN EVE BETTER ONE. WE ARE LIVING IN THE INFORMATION AGE, AND THE YOUNGER GENERATION IS BECOMING SMARTER BY THE DAY. YOU MAY ASK WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - IT IS THE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD.

                           TODAY IS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY, AND TOMARROW WILL 

                            BE BETTER THAN TODAY.

❤

                                                                                 👀

                 THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH-IN OTHER WORDS, ARE YOU CONTENT WHILE STRIVING TO GET MORE ? ARE YOU SMELLING THE ROSES ON YOUR PATH WHILE CHASING YOU DREAM OF A BETTER TOMARROW? OR, ARE YOU CONSTANTLY TRAPPED UNDER FEELINGS OF INFERIORITY, ANXIETY, RESTLESSNESS, INSECURITY, AND INADEQUACY? IN SIMPLE TERMS, ARE YOU LOSING YOUR HAPPINESS?

             BE TRUE OF YOURSELF - STRIVE TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS, SET HIGHER GOALS, GO AFTER THEM PASSIONATELY, AND DO NOT TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER. DO ALL OF THESE AND MORE! AFTER ALL, WE ARE DESIGNED TO GROW. DON'T CONFUSE COMPLACENCY WITH BEING CONTENT. YOU CAN CONTINUE TO FEEL CONTENT WHILE STILL WORKING TOWARDS YOUR GOALS. WHEN YOU BECOME COMPLACENT HOWEVER, YOU END UP STAGNATING IN THE SAME PLACE WITH NO GROWTH AT ALL.

            

                      DON'T CONFUSE COMPLACENCY WITH BEING CONTENT

                    IF YOU SO NOT LEARN TO BE CONTENT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE MANY THINGS IN LIFE AND STILL BE UNHAPPY AS THAT BECOMES YOUR SECOND NATURE.  IF WAS NOT EASY FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THIS THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. MY WIFE COULD UNDERSTAND ME MUCH BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE COULD.

                SHE MONITORED ME CLOSELY AND TOLD ME TO WORK ON MY STATE OF MIND. SHE HAD NOTICED I WAS GETTING ANXIOUS ABOUT ACHIEVING MY GOALS. SHE ALSO TOLE ME THAT WITH SUCH A STATE OF MIND, EVEN IF I DID ACHIEVE MY GOALS AND HAD PLENTY OF MONEY, I WOULD NOT BE HAPPY AND AT PEACE WITH MYSELF. BEING THE KIND OF PERSON. I AM, I DID NOT BUT INTO THIS ARGUMENT AND CONTINUED IN THAT RESTLESS STATE OF YEARS.

                   HOWEVER, I WAS ALWAYS WORKING ON MYSELF AND WILLING TO LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES - THANKS TO MY HABIT OF READING SELF - HELP BOOKS FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS. EACH OF THOSE GREAT AUTHORS HAS HELPED ME GROW INCH MY INCH. I STARTED REALISING THAT I COULD NOT PUT MY HAPPINESS ON HOLD, THINKING THAT I CAN BE HAPPY ONCE I HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY, RETIRE, BE FREE OF MY JOB, AND BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER I WANTED THEN.

                 WHAT A FOOLISH THOUGHT! BUT, YES, I LIVED LIKE THAT FOR MANY YEARS, AND I WANT TO LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT JUST MY PERSONAL EXPERIECE AND AUTHORS WHO HAVE CHANGED THOUSANDS OF LIVES. I HAVE LISTED SOME OF THE BOOKS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO TRANSFORMING MY LIFE AT THE END OF THIS BOOK. I URGUE YOU TO READ THEM AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE.

             PRACTICE THA BELOW MENTIONED GUIDELINES, WHICH ARE PROVEN AND TIME-TESTED SPIRITUAL LAWS OF WHOLESOME SUCCESS.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

1. THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE. LIKE HOW YOU NEED FOOD AND A BATH EVERY DAY, YOUR SOUL NEEDS CLEANSING. WHAT COULD BE A BETTER WAY THAN TO THANK GOD FOR WHAT YOU HAVE AND LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU HAVE FAITH IN HIM FOR YOU TO SUCCEED AND ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS. YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON, AND YOU DREAMS ARE IMPLANTED IN YOU BY HIM - SO, RELAX AND SURRENDER YOURSELF TO THE ALMIGHTY WHO BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS WORLD.

2. WHILE YOU MAY OR MAY NOT YET BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAM/GOALS, WRITE THEM DOWN AND VERBALISE AS IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED IT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PARTNER, SAY. "THAN YOU, GOD, FOR BRINGING THE RIGHT PARTNER INTO MY LIFE", ALOUD. IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED IN YOUR BUSINESS, SAY "THANK YOU, GOD FOR BRINGING THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT OF ME AND FOR MAKING ME DO THE RIGHT THINGS IN ORDE TO SUCCEDD". THERE ARE SOME GREAT BOOK ON THE POWER OF SELF-TALK- YOU CAN FIND AND READ IT.

3. WATCH YOUR WORDS OF DISBELIEF - FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY WANT TO SAY POSITIVE THINGS, DEEP DOWN YOU MAY NOT QUITE BELIEVE OR FEEL IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT IS IKAY TO FEEL THAT WAY - JUST LET IT REMAIN THERE, LET IT NOT COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. ONCE IT COMES OUT, YOU ARE INVITING THINGS YOU DON'T WANT INTO YOUR LIFE.

4.  LIVE IN THE MOMENT - IF YOU WANT TO FEEL GOOD AND BE HAPPY, FEEL SO RIGHT NOW - DON'T POSTPONE YOUR HAPPINESS. THIS IS KEY TO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE. JUST LIVE FOR THE MOMENT, AND AS YOU PRATICE THIS, IT WILL BECOME YOUR HABIT, MOREOVER, DID YOU KNOW THAT UNIVERSAL POWERS ARE ATTRACTED TO HAPPY PEOPLE EASILY?

5. GET RID OF YOUR EGO AT ONCE- THIS SINGLE ELEMENT CAN RELIVE YOU OF MOST OF YOUR BURDEN. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF SIMPLE EXAMPLES OF YOUR EGO AT PLAY. IF YOU ARE SHY TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC, IT IS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT PEOPLE TO LAUGH AT YOU, WHICH HURTS YOUR EGO. OVERCOME THAT, AND YOU WILL MAKE GREAT STRIDES. ANOTHER EXAPLE IS THE TEMPTATION TO INTERRUPT SOMEONE WHILE HE/SHE IS TALKING BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR POINT TO BE HEARD FIRST OR BECAUSE YOU DISAPPROVE OF THE PERSON WHO IS TALKING. THUS. YOUR EGO COULD BE THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO YOUR GROWTH.

6. GET OUT OF THE IF-THEN SYSDROME, - IF I GET THE RIGHT PARTNER, THEN I WILL BE HAPPY, IF RETIRE, THEN I WILL  BE HAPPY, IF MY INCOME DOUBLES, THEN I WILL BE HAPPY, IF I WIN THIS MATCH, THEN I WILL BE HAPPY, ISTEAD SAY, "THANK YOU GOD,"! I AM PUTTING MY BEST FOOT FORWARD WITH YOUR BLESSINGS, AND I KNEW YOU WILL LEAD ME TOWARDS WHAT IS BEST FOR ME.

7. BE HAPPY FOR OTHERS- IF SOMEONE SUCCEEDS, BE HAPPY FOR THEM AND SAY, "THAN GOD IT IS RANING BLESSINGS, MY TURN WILL SURELY COME NEXT."

8. DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY, LEARN TO LAUGH AT YOUR MISTAKES. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO LEARN TO KEEP QUIET WHEN SOMEONE ID MAD AT YOU.

9. STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS- YOU ARE WHO ARE ARE, AND YOU ARE BEST THE WAY YOU ARE. THIS IS BECAUSE GOD HAS MADE YOU, AND HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH YOU!

10.  STOP BEING JEDGEMENTAL- JUDGE NOBODY, AND JUDGE NOTHING. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYBODY ELSE- IT IS OT UNDER YOUR JURISDICTION. PEOPLED ARE PEOPLE, AND EACH ONE HAS HIS/HER OWN JOURNEY. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU OR THE WAY THEY BEHAVE, LEARN TO IGNORE IT. THINK ABOUT IT IN THIS WAY-YOU HAVE MANY CHARACTERISTICS THAT MAY NOT BE LIKED BY MANY, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THEY STARTED JUDGING YOU?

ATTTUDE IS EVERYTHING

                            ADJUST YOUR ATTITUDE AND TURN INTO OWNERSHIP

                                                                             👀👀👀👀

                    LET ME SHARE A PERSONAL EXAMPLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF OUR THOUGHTS. IN THE 1970S AND EARLY 1980S, I OBSERVED MANY PEOPLE IN MY AREA (LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK) WHO WERE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY BY PURCHASING HOMES FOR INVETMENT PURPOSE-AND RENTING THEM OUT. THE HOMES WERE APPRECIATING IN VALUE CONSIDERABLY EACH YEAR. SURE, THERE WERE THE USUAL HEADACHE OF HAVING A DEAL WITH TANANT PROBLEMS, BUT THE RETURN THESE INVESTORS WERE GETTING WAS INCREDIBLE!

                WELL, KEPT THINKING THAT I SHOULD START BUYING SOME INVESTMENT HOMES. BUT I NEVER TOOK ANY ACTION BECAUSE I CONTINUED TO DOUBT MYSELF. MY THINKING WAS DOMINATED BY ALL OF THE THINGS THAT COULD GO WRONG. SIMPLY PUT, I HAD A LOUSY ATTITUDE. AND WITH A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE, IS IT ANY WONDER THAT I NEVER TOOK THE FIRT STEP?

               HOWEVER, AFTER I STARTED READING BOOKS AND LISTENINGTO TAPES ON THE POWER OF ATTITUDE AND BELIEF, I DECIDED TO CHANGE MY ATTITUDE ABOUT REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT. IN THE SUMMER OF 1986, I DECIDED THAT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR I WOULD PURCHASE TWO INVESTMENT HOMES. THIS TIME, I WASN'T GOING TO ALLOW ANY NEGATIVE THOUGHTS TO CREEP INTO MY MIND.

              FOR SIX MONTHS, I FOCUSED MY THINKING ON ONE THING - OWNING TWO INVESTMENT HOMES. I WROTE DOWN MY GOALS SEVERAL TIMES EACH DAY AND REFERED TO THEM OFTEN. I BELIEVED AT THE DEEPEST LEVEL OF MY BEING, THAT I'D OWN TWO HOME BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. IN THE EVENINGS AND ON WEEKENDS, I WENT WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS TO LOOK AT HOMES. I PERSONALLY VISITED ABOUT 100 HOMES AND RESEARCHED HUNDREDS OF OTHERS.

            IN THE FALL OF 1986, I PURCHASED AN INVESTMENT PROPERTY. WHAT A GREAT FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT - TO DO SOMETHING THAT I WOULDN'T ALLOW MYSELF TO DO BEFORE. BUT I STILL HAD WORK TO DO. AND ON DECEMBER 29, JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. I REACHED MY GOAL AND BOUGHT THE SECOND INVESTMENT HOME.

           AS I LOOK BACK AT WHY I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THE REAL ESTATE IN 1986, WHILE I COULDN'T DO IT IN THE YEARS BEFORE THEN, THE ANSWER IS CLEAR. IN 1986, I BELIEVED THAT I COULD DO IT. I HAD AN UNSHAKABLE POSITIVE ATTITUDE THAT PROPELLED ME FORWARD TO REACH MY GOAL.

          THIS ENTIRE EXPERIENCE WAS TREMENDOUSLY VALUABLE TO ME. IN FACT, IT WAS PRICELESS... BECAUSE IT TAUGHT ME THAT YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS FOCUSED ON THE POSITIVE.

                                                           ATTITUDE VS ACTION

 

              I'VE BEEN TAKING A LOT ABOUT THINKING AND YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING WHERE ACTION FITS INTO THIS PROCESS. ITS TRUE THAT YOU DON'T GET RESUTS WITHOUT ACTION, BUT RECOGNIZE THAT THOUGHT PRECEDES ACTION. I ALWAYS KNEW THE ACTIONS THAT I'D HAVE TO TAKE TO BUY THOSE INVESTMENT PROPERTIES- CONTACT REALTORS, VISIT PROPERTIES, REVIEW NEWSPAPER LISTINGS AND SO ON. BUT I NEVER TOOK THE FIRST STEP AS LONG AS I HAD A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE. THE INSTANT I CHANGED MY ATTITUDE, I FELT COMPELLED TO TAKE ACTION... AND NOTHING WAS GOING TO STOP ME!

                 THAT'S WHY A POSITIVE BELIEF SYSTEM IS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ANY GOAL. WHEN YOUR DOMINANT BELIEF IS THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL, YOU BEGIN TAKING THE ACTIONS NECESSARY TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION.

 

            YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES REFLECT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT

                 FACE THIS FACT: YOUR BELIEFS BROUGHT YOU TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY, AND YOUR THINKING FROM THIS POINT FORWARD WILL TAKE YOU TO WHERE YOU'LL BE IN THE FUTURE.

                 IN FACT, YOUR RESULTS IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE REFLECT YOUR DEEPLY HELD THOUGHTS ABOUT YOURSELF. CONSIDER YOUR FINANCES. WHAT ARE YOUR BELIEFS IN THIS AREA? ARE YOU CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT NOT HAVING ENOUGH MONEY? DWELL ON THAT THOUGHT (A LACK OF FUNDS) AND YOU BLOCK THE FLOW OF MONEY TO YOU.

                  AND THEN, THERE'S THE MATTER OF RELATIONSHIPS. IF YOU THINK THAT YOU DON'T DESERVE MUCH, YOU ATTRACT FRIENDS AND PARTNERS INTO YOUR LIFE WHO WON'T TREAT YOU VERY WELL. I'LL BET YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO ALWAYS SEEMS TO GO OUT WITH THE WRONG PERSON. INFACT, THE LAST 29 PEOPLE THEY'VE GONE OUT WITH WERE WRONG FOR THEM. DO YOU THINK THIS IS A MERE COINCIDENCE? OH NO, THERE IS A DEEPL HELD BELIEF INSIDE THAT INDIVIDUAL THAT ATTRACTS THESE PEOPLE INTO IS OR HER LIFE.

                  AND WHETHER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FINANCES, RELATIONSHIPS OR CAREERS, THE FACT REMAINS, IF YOUR THOUGHTS DON'T CHANGE YOUR RESULTS WON'T CHANGE.

                                                         CHANGE YOUR THINKING

                 FORTUNATELY, THERE'S EXCITING NEWS. YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS, THEREBY CHANGING YOUR RESULTS! HERE'S HOW. FOR STARTERS, BECOME AWARE OF WHAT YOU SAY TO YOURSELF ALL DAY. EACH OF U HAS AN INTERNAL VOICE, IN OTHER WORDS, WE TALK  TO OURSELVES, TOO OFTEN, HOWEVER WHAT WE SAY IS NEGATIVE, CRITICAL AND SELF - LIMITING, PERHAPS YOU FIND YOURSELF THINKING. I CANT DO THIS OR I ALWAYS MESS THINGS UP. THSE THOUGHTS WORK AGAINST YOU. INSTEAD, REPEAT TO YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN AND WILL ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOAL.

                AS WE'LL DISCUSS MORE FULLY IN PART 2, OF THIS IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO BECOME AWARE OF THE WORDS YOU USE ON A REGULAR BASIS. FOR EXAMPLE, DO YOU PUT YOURSELF DOWN OR TALK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU COULD NEVER HAVE OR ACHIEVE? YOUR MIND HEARS EVERY WORD YOU SPEAK - AND LIKE, A MAGNET, YOU'LL UNTIMATELY ATTRACT THE EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CORRESPOND TO YOUR DOMINATNT BELIEFS. SO MAKE SURE TO USE POSITIVE WORDS ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR GOALS.

                                                                        ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

             

USES OF POSITIVE LANGUAGE

                                             WHEN YOU SPEAK IN POSITIVITY

                 WHEN I SPEAK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF USING POSITIVE LANGUAGE TO MOVE YOU TOWARD YOUR GOALS, SOME OF YOU MAY BE WONDERING, "JEFF" DO I SAY THESE POSITIVE WORDS TO MYSELF OR DO I ALSO SAY THESE WORDS TO OTHER PEOPLE?. YOU MAY BE AFRAID THAT IF YOU TELL OTHER ABOUT YOUR GOALS, THEY'LL THINK YOU'RE BEING CONCEITED - AND THEY MAY EVEN LAUGH AT YOU.

                ALLOW ME TO SUGGEST  A FEW GUIDELINES IN THIS AREA, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE NO "HARD AND FAST" RULES - AND YOU SHOULD DO WHAT WORDS BEST FOR YOU.

               TO BEGIN IWTH, USE POSITIVE SELF-TALK OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. IN MY VIEW, THE MORE MERRIER. AFTER ALL, YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF, SO YOU DON'T HAVETO WORRY ABOUT OTHERS HEARING YOUR COMMENTS. THE KEY IS THAT YOU HEAR THIS POSITIVE INPUT AGAIN AND AGAIN... AND IT BECOMES DEEPLY ROOTED IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

            WHETHER TO SHARE YOUR GOALS WITH OTHER PEOPLE IS A MUCH TRICKIER ISSUE. ONE THING I'VE LEARNED IS THIS. NEVER DISCUSS YOUR GOALS WITH NEGATIVE POEPLE. ALL THEY'LL DO IS ARGUE AND POINT OUT ALL THE REASONS WHY YOU WON'T BE SUCCESSFUL. WJHO NEEDS THAT ? OFTEN, THESE "NEGATIVE NELLIES" ARE THE ONES WHO DO LITTLE OR NOTHING IN THEIR OWN LIVES. THEY HAVE NO GOALS OR DREAMS - AND THEY DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO SUCCEED, EITHER.

            

YET, THERE ARE SOME INSTANCES WHEN YOU CAN BENEFIT BY TELLING OTHERS ABOUT YOUT GOALS. FIRST OF ALL, MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING WITH SOMEONE WHO'S EXTEMELY POSITIVE AND TOTALLY SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR EFFORTS. THIS SHOULD BE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED IF YOU ACHIEVED THIS GOAL... AND WOULD DO ANYTHING IN HIS OR HER POWER TO ASSIST YOU. YOU MAY HAVE A FRIEND OR COLLEAGUE THAT FITS THIS ROLE- OR CERTAIN FAMILY MEMBERS.

 

IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO SHARE YOUR GOAL WITH OTHERS WHO ARE WORKING WITH YOU TO ACHIEVE THAT OUTCOME. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A SALE MANAGER WANTS TO INCREASE SALES IN THE COMING YEAR BY 20 PERCENT, HE OR SHE WOULD MAKE THIS GOAL KNOWN TO EVERYONE ON THE STAFF. THEN, EVERYONE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE IT.

EVEN THOUGH I'M ENCOURAGING YOU TO USE POSITIVE WORDS TO MOVE YOU TOWARD YOUR OBJECTIVES, I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT YOU IGNORE THE OBSTACLES THAT YOU MAY FACE - OR THAT YOU DISCOURAGE FEEDBACK FROM OTHER PEOPLE. BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY GOAL, YOU WANT TO PREPARE FOR WHAT MAY BE COMING DOWN THE ROAD. PERSONALLY, I PREFER TO DISCUSS FEEDBACK INCLUDES CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE DIFFICULTIES THAT MAY ARISE.

FURTHEREMORE, I'LL ONLY DISCUSS MY PLANS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO RENDER AN INTELLIGENT OPINION ON THE SUBJECT. IF YOU'RE THINKING OF GOING INTO YOUR OWN BUSINESS, IT SIMPLY MAKES NO SENSE TO CONSULT WITH YOUR UNCLE ELMER, ESPECIALLY IF UNCLE ELMER IS NEGATIVE AND WORKED FOR SOMEONE ELSE ALL OF HIS LIFE. WHAT DOES HE KNEW ABOUT OWNING A BUSINESS? HE'LL GIVE YOU A LIST OF REASONS NOT TO GO INTO BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF. AFTER YOUR LITTLE CHAT WITH UNCLE ELMER, YOU'LL START TO DOUBT YOURSELF. YOU DON'T NEED THAT KIND OF HELP!

👀WORDS AND ACCOUNTABLITY👀

THERE'S ANOTHER REASON WHY, IN SOME CASES, YOU MIGHT DECIDE TO SHARE YOUR GOAL WITH SOMEONE ELSE. AND THAT'S FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, IN OTHER WORDS, IF I TELL OTHERS I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING, THENI HAVE TO GO AHEAD AND DO IT! THINK OF THIS APPROACH AS "BURNING YOUR BRIDGES".

LET ME ASSURE YOU I'M NOT A BELIEVE IN "BURNING BRIDGES" WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONAL OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS. BUT SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE - AND TO ACHIEVE AN AMBITIOUS GOAL - IS TO CUTT OFF ALL AVENUES OF RETREAT.

THIS CAN BE A VERY USEFUL STRATEGY. WE MAY TELL A FRIEND THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK OUT AT THE GYM THREE TIMES THIS WEEK - KNOWING THAT AT THE END OF THE WEEK, THIS FRIEND WILL AS WHETHER WE DID, IN FACT, GO TO THE GYM THREE TIMES!

AN EVEN MORE DRAMATIVE EXAMPLE IS THAT OF WELL - KNOW MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER ZIG ZIGLAR. ZIGLAR DECIDED TO GO ON A DIET AND REDUCED HIS WEIGHT FROM 202 POUND TO 165 POUNDS. AT THE SAME TIME, HE WAS WRITING HIS BOOK SEE YOU AT THE TOP.

ZIGLAR INCLUDED A STATEMENT THAT HE GOT HIS WEIGHT DOWN TO 165 POUNDS. THIS WAS 10 MONTHS BEFORE THE BOOK WENT TO PRESS. AND THEN HE PLACED AN ORDER WITH THE PRINTER FOR 25000 COPIES! NOW, REMEMBER, AT THE TIME HE WROTE THESE WORDS, ZIGLAR ACTUALLY WEIGHED 202. HE PUT HIS CREDIBILITY ON THE LINE WITH 25000 PEOPLE!

BY INCLUDING A STATEMENT THAT HE WEIGHED 165 POUNDS, ZIGLAR KNEW THAT HE HAD TO LOSE 37 POUNDS THE BOOK WAS PRINTED. AND, HE DID!

USE THIS STRATEGY SELECTIVELY. LIMIT IT TO THOSE GOALS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU-AND WHERE YOU'RE COMMITTED TO GO THE DISTANCE. IS IT RISKY? YOU BE IT IS. BUT IT'S A TREMENDOUS MOTIVATOR!
