Think of Prosperity

With Andy Andrews in The Traveler’s Gift the Third Decision, he speaks about taking action, being a leader, letting go of fear and refusing to wait. Seizing the moment of opportunity.

THE ACTIVE DECISION

I am a person of action.

Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me. No longer will I dwell in a pit of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity. I can do nothing about the past. My future is immediate. I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet. When I am faced with the choice of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act! I seize this moment. I choose now.

I am a person of action. I am energetic. I move quickly.

Knowing that laziness is a sin, I will create a habit of lively behavior. I will walk with a spring in my step and a smile on my face. The lifeblood rushing through my veins is urging me upward and forward into activity and accomplishment. Wealth and prosperity hide from the sluggard, but rich rewards come to the person who moves quickly.

I am a person of action. I inspire others with my activity. I am a leader.

Leading is doing. To lead, I must move forward. Many people move out of the way for a person on the run; others are caught up in his wake. My activity will create a wave of success for the people who follow. My activity will be consistent. This will instill confidence in my leadership. As a leader, I have the ability to encourage and inspire others to greatness. It is true: An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep!

I am a person of action. I can make a decision. I can make it now.

A person who moves neither left nor right is destined for mediocrity. When faced with a decision, many people say they are waiting for God. But I understand, in most cases, God is waiting for me! He has given me a healthy mind to gather and sort information and the courage to come to a conclusion. I am not a quivering dog, indecisive and fearful. My constitution is strong and my pathway clear. Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their mind slowly. Failures make their decisions slowly and change their mind quickly. My decisions come quickly, and they lead to victory.

I am a person of action. I am daring. I am courageous.

Fear no longer has a place in my life. For too long, fear has outweighed my desire to make things better for my family. Never again! I have exposed fear as a vapor, an impostor who never had any power over me in the first place! I do not fear opinion, gossip, or the idle chatter of monkeys for all are the same to me. I do not fear failure, for in my life, failure is a myth. Failure only exists for the person who quits. I do not quit.

I am courageous. I am a leader. I seize this moment. I choose now.

Andy Andrews is an awesome story teller. I had the pleasure of listening to him at a conference not long ago. He had me captivated for hours. I highly recommend his books.

In the meantime, it is my pleasure to pass on to you excerpts from his book The Traveler’s Gift where he lays out the Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success. Here is your first installment about accepting responsibility of your past and letting go.

THE RESPONSIBLE DECISION

The buck stops here.

From this moment forward, I will accept responsibility for my past. I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free myself to move into a bigger, brighter future of my own choosing.

Never again will I blame my parents, my spouse, my boss, or employees for my present situation. Neither my education or lack of one, my genetics, or the circumstantial ebb and flow of everyday life will affect my future in a negative way. If I allow myself to blame these uncontrollable forces for my lack of success, I will be forever caught in a web of the past. I will look forward. I will not let my history control my destiny.

The buck stops here. I accept responsibility for my past. I am responsible for my success.

I am where I am today—mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially—because of decisions I have made. My decisions have always been governed by my thinking. Therefore, I am where I am today—mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially—because of how I think. Today I will begin the process of changing where I am—mentally, physically, spiritually,emotionally, and financially—by changing the way I think.

My thoughts will be constructive, never destructive. My mind will live in the solutions of the future. It will not dwell in the problems of the past. I will seek the association of those who are working and striving to bring about positive changes in the world. I will never seek comfort by associating with those who have decided to be comfortable.

When faced with the opportunity to make a decision, I will make one. I understand that God did not put in me the ability to always make right decisions. He did, however, put in me the ability to make a decision and then make it right. The rise and fall of my emotional tide will not deter me from my course. When I make a decision, I will stand behind it. My energy will go into making the decision.

I will waste none on second thoughts. My life will not be an apology. It will be a statement.

The buck stops here. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions.

In the future, when I am tempted to ask the question “Why me?”, I will immediately counter with the answer: “Why not me?” Challenges are a gift, an opportunity to learn. Problems are the common thread running through the lives of great men and women. In times of adversity, I will not have a problem to deal with, I will have a choice to make. My thoughts will be clear. I will make the right choice. Adversity is preparation for greatness. I will accept the preparation. Why me? Why not me? I will be prepared for something great!

I accept responsibility for my past. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. I am responsible for my success.

The buck stops here.

Do you really want to move forward with your Personal Development?  Are serious about your commitment to change your future, your life?

The program, Beyond Freedom can help you change your life forever.   It was developed seven years ago, using the principals from around the world with help and input from Bob Proctor.  Personal Development is not a new idea, the basic concept has always been here.   The lessons  in Beyond Freedom can be completed in 90 days - buy why stop there?  Each time you go through the program you will become more aware of what you are capable of and you will realize your purpose.

Personal Development is a life long study that can only enhance your life.  What price would you put on those kinds of teachings?  Today we spend money on all kinds of things to make us feel better but what do we spend on enriching our mind?  Think about that as you read about Beyond Freedom and then contact me.

I have to ask you - are you hiding behind this screen as many people do or do you really want to get on with your life?

I enjoy talking to new people everyday.  Finding our who they are, what makes them tick, what they want, what their dreams are.  And you know what - their dreams are really no different than mine.  Sometimes all it takes is talking to someone who has the same aspirations as you do.  Someone who will wake up that imagination, wake up that sleeping dream and make you move forward.  That kick in the “butt”.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are just dreaming.  All things start with a dream, a wish, that turns into a burning desire.  Just ask yourself, WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?

Make the decision to get what you want.  Make it your focus.  Let it happen.  You can do it.  Who told you that you could not?  Only your mind.  Well say yes, but that was yesterday and today is today and you will not stop my imagination from moving forward - EVER!!

Make it a great one and I will TALK to you very very soon!

So, did you listen to the story about the fly (yesterday’s post) by Price Pritchett? The story that changed the way Bob Proctor thought about life and went forward to make money that he originally thought was an impossibility.

Do you understand how that story relates to the vast majority of people?

Most of us are told from an early age to try harder and you will succeed. Try harder, work harder and you will get rich. But this is not the truth in most cases. Just like the fly, we fail to see another way. We fail to see opportunities knocking on the back door. We are adamant that this is the right way and will not listen to our inner thoughts that there could be another way. An easier way. A simpler way.

There is always another way. You have to be willing and ready to accept that possibility. And if you do not try, you will never know and you will be like the fly and not succeed.

All big fortunes in this world are made by people who took the chance, saw the opportunity and found another way.

Is it not your turn to find another way? I really think it is.

Contact me - let’s talk - there are opportunities for you not to Try Harder!
