Money - The Truest Words

Money is a tool, a trial and a test.

If you want to expose a person’s true character, give them access to large sums of money.
Money reveals the heart of a person and the quality of their character.

Wealth isn't about money alone. It's about people, relationships, values, doing well by doing good, and certainly about family. Wealth is a GIFT - that needs to be safeguarded, nurtured and shared productively for the benefit of family and others.
“….. but money answereth all things.” Ecclesiastes 10:19

i.e. money explains everything –

the poor want it,
the rich horde it!

It will control those who cannot control it and destroy those who love it.

Beware - The Dream Stealers

I first came across an article about Dream Stealers many,many years ago , and after some thought on the matter I concluded that my dreams and ambitions were just too strong ( boy, was I ever wrong !). Unfortunately the Dream Stealers are very cunning in their methods and pretty soon they bring you down if you let them, but the problem is you don't realise this is happening. I hope this article helps if anyone has encountered anything similair.

It happened to me, you see, I was always a very positive guy, enjoying helping people to make money, freely giving knowledge I had learned about the real world (stock market etc), stuff like that. The more you give the more you recieve, Right !

Some people took the knowledge and made a lot of money which made me feel good, but instead of sharing this knowledge, they took took ownership of it as if they were the ones who discovered it, Sad. At the same time they would caution me on other ventures, but Im the type of person who tries many things and if they work fine.

But gradually, over a period of time things started to go wrong in my life, everything I tried was going wrong , I could not figure out what the problem was, I had never in my life felt so helpless, it was as if that little voice inside was telling me "forget it - it aint going to work" , for the life of me I could not figure out what I was doing wrong.

At night I like to walk, enjoy the peace and get in touch with my inner thoughts, and it was on one of these walks, the reason for my problems was given to me. Now this has happened many times before, I will be thinking of something and something completely different will pop in to my head. As I walked, the words "Dream Stealers" just came to me !! Now as I said, I had read about this many years ago but certainly not recently so why would it just appear. The more I thought about it the more it made sense.

As James Ray points out, we think about things on a conscious level, but most things manifest from the subconscious level, this is where your real dreams and passion reside. The Dream Stealers had got me to the point of not even believing in myself subconsciously, even though I felt I still had the passion.
I had the dreams and passion on the outside but inside I was saying "it ain't going to work".

After going through this episode I am trying to put my life back together, but my thoughts are "things happen for a reason", and as long as I learn from this lesson I will be stronger for the experience.

The following tips will help you keep your dreams safe:

1. Keep your mouth shut ( I should have done that )-Most dreams get stolen because we share our dreams with the wrong people. We hope that they'll be as excited as we are about what we hope to accomplish with our lives, but too often we're disappointed and they steal our dreams. This rule is especially important at family gatherings.

2. Share your Successes but not your failures--Every time you succeed it makes you believe in your dream a little bit more and gives you that much more confidence. And when you share your successes with the dream stealers, it takes away their power. Don't share your failures because then the dream stealers take that as validation of their opinion that you'll never succeed.

3. Plan your defense--Sometimes dream stealers find out about our dreams through other people and they'llconfront us. Some typical openers are:?"So, Johnny tells me that you're...." ?"Why didn't you tell me that you were going to...."?

The Power of Gratitude

The first technique for thought control is simply called Expressing Gratitude.

People who let the Law of Attraction work for them are a certain breed of people. You'll recognize them when you meet them.
They are often positive, joyful, in awe of the world, and full of love and compassion.
Sure, they sometimes face bad moments - feelings of despair, grief or sorrow, but they bounce back quickly. They seem to relish life itself.
A simple way to help you move into this state of joy and positive vibes is to start thinking about what you have to be thankful for.
And believe me, you have a LOT to be thankful for.
You may look at your 2-bedroom apartment, cheap car and 15" inch TV and compare yourself to wealthy people living today and feel that you have barely made it.

But think about this - you are richer than the richest people in the world living just 200 years ago. They did not have a "horseless carriage" that could carry them wherever they wanted to go. They could not use a phone to instantly communicate with anyone - anywhere in the world. They did not have a "magic story-telling box", what we would call a TV - to entertain them. 200 years ago, the amount of information that the average wealthy person could consume in a lifetime, would be no match for the amount you can consume in ONE DAY through the Internet. ..........

Attracting Abundance

The Process -

Step 1: Know What You Want

The first and most important part of the process is KNOWING what you want. It's amazing how many people live their lives without setting any clear, specific goals.
You'll remember this topic was covered in Lesson 3 on goals, don't hesitate to refresh your memory.
If you're unclear on this part of the process, re-read lesson three.
Once you have a clear, definite idea of the type of life you want to build, you're ready for Step 2.

Step 2: Meditation

Once you've identified your goals, write them down somewhere. There's power in commiting goals to paper.
The next step is to pick a time of the day, where you can spend 5 to 15 minutes, uninterrupted and do nothing but focus on your goals.
The best time to do this is in the morning when you've just woken up. Lie up in bed or on a comfy couch. You'll spend the next few minutes focusing on your goals.
This will be your daily "meditation" time. ............ Read More - HERE

The Secret of Wealth

Are You Doing What You Love?

Somewhere in history, humankind picked up the false thought that we need to work on boring, day-to-day activities that we do not enjoy in order to survive.

We grow up in our programmed lives with the ridiculous idea that we have to go to work to earn money.

Nothing can be further from the truth. We should go to work for satisfaction. You want to spend your days doing what you love.

Doing what you want to do is LIFE! There is no real satisfaction in living if we are compelled to do something that we don’t like to do or that we’re expected to do. It’s as simple as that.

As Wallace Wattles says, the fact is this …

You can do what you want to do; your desire to do it is PROOF that you have within you the power to do it." Read More
