Think of Prosperity

Just a few days ago, I listened to a telephone conference with David Neagle, an amazing personal development coach and Ali Brown, “the Ezine Queen”.

The call was over an hour and I am glad that I spent the time to listen. I had the pleasure of attending one of David Neagle’s seminars in Las Vegas last year. Even though I was a quiet mouse, which is really most unusual for me, the four days had a tremendous impact on me and the way I think.

I have looked at my notes and I want to share with you some of what was discussed on the call. If you have belief or not in personal development, I am sure some of these points will give you an AHAA moment and you will either start or continue your journey. The call was geared to business entrepreneurs but can be applied to all avenues of your life. Remember that these are only small snippets of the call but I am sure you will understand.

If you are not prosperous in your mind, you will not be prosperous in your pocket, time to become prosperity conscious.

Now is the time to work on your mindset – don’t block it out. And if you are having difficulty in imagining wealth, it is time to get rid of those old beliefs that you have been carrying around with you. Start believing in yourself, not what others say.

People are conditioned to survive - we are born with those faculties. We are taught from our loving parents to “play it safe”, be careful what you do. And then our education system is designed to create a workforce!! Nowhere in our system does it teach us how to manifest prosperity. We get an education and get a job. My god, I did it for years until I finally realized that there is another way. Many people believe that money is linked to livelihood and survival – it is time to let go of this belief. That may seem a difficult task right now to some, but listen to all who have let go and what they have achieved.

Think of this statement: If you don’t know how to make money, having money will not make you more money. I am not sure who made that statement, but damn he is right.

Are approaching your business as a job? This, my friends is the biggest mistake most people will make. We are so conditioned to trade time for money. Most of us trade time for the almighty dollar, week after wee, month after month, and year after year. But really time does not exist; it is a mere illusion that we have come to believe. Now doesn’t that just kick you in the butt! This is not a hobby. This is your life.

Time and time again, we look at a problem and ask ourselves – how do I fix it? Yet time and time again we use the same methods as we have done in the past. We burn out before “time” runs out. We fix the problem the wrong way!! It’s time to take another approach. Do not attach yourself to money. Do not divide your time into money. The answer is not in your head. Think of leverage – and that is a whole new subject!!

You, as an individual, have control of your own world.

Money isn’t everything.

Air isn’t everything.

Water isn’t everything.

But we need it all.

Money does not come from “people”.

You may have all the tools in your lap. You think you are prepared. You have to know though that the tools do not make you. You have to take action. You have to take challenges (don’t call them chances).

Ask yourself if you play to win or play not to loose? There is a BIG difference.

Decide today that money is not the issue in your business. Harness your subconscious. Learn to develop it and grow with it. Be aware of the “cause” and a shift will happen. Understand that you will have to make a radical change for things to change. A radical change in the way your mind thinks. I suggest that everyone picks up his or her copy of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich again. Make the decision, don’t stop to think about it. Learn to visualize with greater intensity. Take that car for a ride. Tour the house you want. Visit the land you want to buy.

And think for 2008 – WHO do I want to be? Make it an intention. And take action.

It has been some time since I have said anything.  Do I apologize? Do I explain my absence? Or do I just continue as though life is the same?  I feel that I need to express what is going on in my life to the people that have taken the time to enter my domain and have shown a genuine interest in what I have to say.  Thank you all.

Through my own journey of personal development, I have discovered that you do have control of your thoughts.  Sometimes though those thoughts will take you where you really wish not to go.  But my god at least I know that I have the ability in me to change the path of my thoughts, even though it may appear a difficult road.

There have been a number of changes as of late in my daily routine.  I have taken on new responsibilities - a new job - that in it’s own is hard enough.  I am continuing  to operate a business for a good friend that is going through major changes and challenges.  I am also promoting a personal development program that I believe is the best on the market.

Then my Mum, my hero, is rushed to hospital.

Life changes.

Life changes dramatically.

She is OK.  But Life Changes.

Priorities change.

It’s time to rethink.  Take another look.  Time to focus.

I’ll be back.  I am still here.

Persistence has no knowledge of failure.

Love you all.

I found this today on MySpace. It fits perfectly with my own journey of personal development and wanted to share with you in the hope that it can and will assist you on your own journey.

We sometimes walk around with our head in the sky or even blind folded and miss the possibility of a new opportunity to change for the better. It is my determination to open my mind to the endless possibilities that unfold in front of me every moment of every day. And to take that to the next step and take action. The capability of taking these possibilities and expanding is in us all. It is our choice whether we choose to take action.

When you read these short lines think back on the day and the possibilities that presented themselves to you and how you reacted. It may be an eye opener, the jolt you need to move forward to take action and accept change with the new possibility!

• Possibility has no colour, form or shape.
• You could walk right past possibility everyday and not notice.
• Once you see possibility, it is really impossible to ignore.
• Possibility has no voice, yet it can move you to act on it’s behalf.
• Possibility has no weight, yet can achieve momentum that is impossible to stop.
• Possibility has no direct value of it’s own, yet is in the heart of everything of worth.
• Possibility motivates your actions and changes your thinking when you see it.
• Possibility is difficult to deny once you know and understand it.
• With your active help and involvement, possibility will bring things you only imagined.
• Do you see POSSIBILITY?
• It is yours when you do.

Until next time ……… don’t forget to open your mind ………..

Least we forget the things we can change. And be grateful for what we have. There is no limitation to what we can do by being one.

In the corporate world and your job, you more than likely a contributor to the success of the company you work for. Your good performance, excellent attitude towards work and strong work ethics, all contribute to your boss seeing you as being an outstanding employee. And you enjoy working so hard everyday, you feel that you are where you should be.
Then one day, you feel like not going to work anymore. While working you lose focus easily. Attending meetings or simply the idea work again the following day make you bored and you feel tired. Even the way the clock ticks bore you so much that you want move away from your desk. You become easily irritated with your colleagues. You usually want to be alone, isolate yourself from the crowd. What happened? BURN OUT, that’s what happened.
If you’re drained physically and emotionally due to stress, take heart. You are definitely not alone struggling against burn out.

Irregardless of the possible reason, burn out is a common symptom of losing motivation and stress especially if you do the same kind of tasks everyday. Loose motivation and you will not see success. Remember, for you to win and succeed, you will have to develop personal mastery and perseverance to your personal success. But the question is: are you ready?

Listen to your inner boss:

Congratulate yourself on the smallest of accomplishments.

Re-itemize your goals:

Without definite goals, you are working for the system, not you.

Direct your thoughts on personal success

See yourself as already successful. Focus on success and you will regret nothing.

Sound easy?  It really is but you must have the burning desire to succeed, not just a wish.  Loosing focus will make loose motivation.  Trust me, I’ve been there.  Never ever loose focus.  Always keep those goals in focus.  Sure you may drift from time to time.  But for you to start that engine again will take more energy each time you start over.  We all get complacent, we all get lazy.

Ask yourself each and every morning: Is this really where I want to be?  Is this it? Most of us dream of a better life, a more fulfilled life.

Well don’t just stand there - do something about it!
