Learning to acknowledge and use your power of abundance...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 2.

What people who think the universe is conspiring against them, do not understand is that the universe WANTS you to prosper. (I come that they might have life and have it more abundantly...) Prosperous people are simply happier people. And before you tell me that money does not buy happiness. I agree, but sweety try being happy without it! How happy do you think mother's who have to watch their children go to bed hungry are? How many happy people do you think you'd encounter at the homeless shelter, I guarantee you they are few and far in between. How happy are you when you're broke? Lately we've heard of people losing their jobs and jumping off buildings. It's horrible to hear yet I can imagine how desperate and despondent they must' of felt....
 You owe it to your ancestors, your children, born and unborn, and most of all to yourself to be the most successful person you can be. Now it's a given that we cannot all be Oprah. There are very few like her. But we can certainly be successful at something. We can become financially secure, and live happy prosperous lives. The reason I advocate for women to open up to wealth and success so much, is because I know that ' if the money ain't right ain't nothing right' in ours lives. This is also the reason I strongly urge women to have a small business. Even if you keep your job have a business on the side. Have investments, have savings. HAVE A PLAN B and C...

 The first step with wealth is simply to recognize that it is your God given right and that you do NOT have to struggle. People never HAVE to struggle. They just do not realize it. Let me tell you some of the ways people inadvertently invite struggle into their lives. 

• When they get angry at rich people for being rich
• When they claim poverty ("I'll never have money.... money does not grow on trees.. why am I so poor!"
• When they steal from other people. (This is poverty consciousness at it's peak)
• When they try to destroy the things they think they'll never get, ie, cars, homes, belongings etc.
• When they tear down those who have little to nothing. (hurting the homeless, laughing and picking on innocent children from poor or broken homes etc....
• When they try to stop others from achieving their greatness because they were not blessed with those particular gifts. exp. Christine Agulera being beaten several times by girls in her school because she was a fabulous singer...
• Using illegal or unethical ways to obtain money, without regard to who gets hurt in the long run. (drug dealing to our children, prostituting vulnerable girls, stealing from the elderly etc. This type of behavior will not only invite poverty but also incite the wrath of karmic vengeance.

Karma is really true-I've seen it so many times in my life...

Know that the universe is watching and Karma IS in effect. No matter whether you believe in God or not. I'm sure you've noticed that when you do someone wrong, it's not long before an almost identical situation befalls you. How you use this to your advantage is to do right by people, and GIVE! Now I'm just not one to advocate to give endlessly to the church. I just don't buy it, and neither does hubby. We believe in giving 10% (We actually give more) but we give it to whatever cause we want. We tithe faithfully but not always to the church. But definitely give. It will open the storehouse of abundance for you....

Trust in the abundance of the universe.

Have you ever seen a single blade of grass growing all alone?  Have you ever seen a single cloud in the sky or a single mountain? You haven't have you? And you never will. Nature does NOT believe in scarcity and neither should you!  You can see evidence of this all around you. Everything nature does, she does it big and over the top. That's because her resources are infinite. Yours are as well! Right now you have talents in you that you may never know unless you decide to explore them.  Unless, they are brought out by tragedy, or unless they escape, and come out in a myriad of ways. I'm not kidding, trust me, whatever your talent is- you can rest assured-IT'S TRYING TO GET OUT! Why? Because everything God has given us is meant to be used. Did you know that a house that is vacant deteriorates 3x faster than a house that is being used? You are like that too. All your talents and abilities MUST be used or they will begin to atrophy.

Let the talent out!
But back to the subject of  unused talent. Think of a young poor farm girl by the name of Mary Anna Robertson, she was born in 1860 and had always wanted to paint. Her family discouraged this as they saw it as a wasteful endeavor, and obviously, needed her help on the farm. And so she was forbidden to indulge in this 'senseless;' pastime. She later married a farmer, and raised several children, yet never lost her yearning to paint. She would do so whenever she had a spare moment. Although half of her children perished, and she has eons of backbreaking farm work to do, she still managed to paint whenever she could. Her goal was not to seek attention, but rather to just do what she loved to do.  And she did this for years quietly. Simply doing what she loved. One day a man saw one of her paintings in a display window of a friend's store, and Grandma Moses was born. Her career really began that day in her 70s! and lasted after her death at the age of 101! Her paintings now go for over a million dollars! All that time while she was forbidden to paint, her talent was struggling to come out...
I don't believe we can ever really be free until we do whatever it is we were put on this earth to do.  How do we know? Because life is always dropping clues.  What are you doing or dreaming of doing when no one is around? What thought is in the back of your head day and night that causes you to think someday, I'll do ......
What do you love so much, that you'd do it for free? Have you ever heard the late Gerard Lavert sing?  Could you 'feel' his love for the music flowing though the lyrics? Have you ever heard Les Brown give a motivational speech? The love he has for his craft is almost palpable! They were MEANT to do those things. There is something that YOU are meant to do, and if you don't do it, then you will never know true fulfillment in life. And truly, there is nothing worse in life, then dying with the music inside. Whatever it is that you push down inside of yourself daily-let it fly. Let it soar, and see how much happiness, success and fulfillment it brings you....

Have faith, and know that you were meant to do GREAT things!

Know that if you are here, then you are special and are meant to do great things. Thousands of sperm cells did not make it during conception, but you did! That should tell you that you're something special. Have faith and really picture where you want your life to go. Wherever it is the simplest way to get there is to make every move in that direction. You know this already. You probably just needed a little reminder. But if you want to be the next Wolfgang Puck, you should be in culinary school. You should be studying every chance you get. You should be studying his life, and finding out what steps he took.
 You should also be VISUALIZING THAT LIFE! Think visualizing does not work? Imagine what happens when a friend fake-attacks you. Your heart speeds up, and slams against your chest. Your breathing gets shallow, and you involuntarily jump. But why? You were not really being attacked. It's because your subconscious cannot tell the difference between a real and imagined experience!  Did you really understand what I just said? Your inner mind cannot tell between a real and imagined experience! This is what makes visualization so potent!!! This means we can trick our minds into thinking things are whatever way we want in our lives, and if we hold the picture long enough, and strong enough (strong emotion, really feel it happening) it will certainly come to fruition! This is why star athletes spend hours per day doing exactly that. Because they already know-it works! A picture held (sustained) in the mind, with tremendous desire, and emotion has almost no choice but to come to fruition...
Let me give you an example of this. Our baby who is 4 now loves and adores the Power rangers. He spends countless hours talking about, and imitating everything the power rangers do. Well  for weeks now he has been asking for a power ranger outfit. But since its not Halloween, we told him it could wait until then. He however, was determined to have that outfit as soon as possible, and has been talking about it non stop. Well a few days ago I tucked him in bed after he'd said his prayers, and I noticed he still had his hands together and had re closed his eyes. I knew he was adding another prayer.
 "Dev, honey" I murmured. "What else are you praying for?"
"Nothing mommy" he quickly told me, but I heard a crinkle under his pillow. Sliding my hand along underneath, I pulled out a picture of a power ranger in a crisp red uniform. He quickly snatched it away from me and hid it back in it's place. I kissed him, and left the room, knowing exactly what he had been praying for. The same thing he'd been asking for, for weeks.  The very next day my sister dropped by and told me she was at the mall and had wandered into a store she'd never gone in before looking for a bathroom. She said a man had been unboxing Halloween costumes to carry to the back when she spotted a particular one. She said it was the weirdest thing but as soon as she saw it, she thought of her nephew, and 'knew' she had to have it.  Before she even pulled it from the bag, I knew it would be the red power ranger costume that my son had been praying for, asking for, and imagining for weeks.........
Never doubt your ability to draw into your life what you want. Simply FOCUS on it. Dream about it. Talk about and visualize it (with emotion) and then work toward it. - you WILL get it...

Have faith, for there is a power in you greater than anything you're ever known- If only you would choose to use it- unknown

Belief-nothing works as well as belief...

Mark 11:23 - For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

This is a lesson we can learn from children. When they want something, they are tenacious. They plead, cajole, cry, beg, and if all else fails, they will even work to get what they want! I remember back in the day when I was a girl scout. We sold cookies door to door. My goal at that time was to buy my beloved grandmother coffee pot (as hers had recently stopped working). They were having a big contest at that time and whomever one was going to get 100.00! At that time to a child, that was a fortune. I set out to win. I took 2 of my older cousins and worked all over town. My family had been prominent in this town for a long time, and my grand parents name carried a lot of weight. It seemed I only had to mention their names and people readily opened their wallets. I was making so many sales I barely noticed someone across the street...
 It was a poor girl I knew from school named Donna. She was working alone, as she had little family, and less resources. She was always tired, dirty, and hungry-looking. At school she was often laughed at and maltreated due to her shabby clothes. I mentally brushed her aside when I saw her pitiful form at people's doors. After all, she was ragged, dirty, and poor looking. Who would buy cookies from her? I thought contemptuously. I remember it being semi cold around that time and she was wearing a threadbare coat, and shivering but she did not stop. We could only sell till 8 Friday night, and then the contest was over. At the meeting that next week, I as sure I'd won. I had so many sales I had to get a 2nd sheet, and my very well known, and well loved grandmother had gone to the meeting with me. When they announced the top 3, it was me, Donna and another girl. The other girl took 3rd and then they announced that the top 2 had collectively sold over 5000 worth of cookies! Everyone gasped. I smiled smugly at Donna, sure I'd won. But a moment later, I was shocked to hear my name called as runner up, and Donna was the winner! She broke down and cried as she accepted her check. I couldn't believe it, I just stood stunned. She explained that although it was cold, and sometimes rainy, she was determined to get that money for food. She said whenever she was too tired to go on, she would pray for more strength and somehow kept finding one more sale, and then another...
You see although I had tons of resources, family, clout, warm cars, and warm coat. She had something far more potent. She had a fervent desire to feed her family. She had  a powerful  WHY! That check meant only another doll to me, but to her it was a lifeline. It meant food and possibly a warm coat. Nothing takes the place of a belief coupled with a powerful why. It will keep you going when nights are long and cold. It will make you get back up when you fall... If you find that you cannot motivate yourself to do whatever it is that you need to do to improve your life -try getting a better and bigger why...


Have faith, know that you can have whatever you want to have. Simply pay the price and take it away...                   -unknown           
 

how to attract money! (part 1)

The problem with money is that people think of money as something to go out and catch, and then use it to get what they want. They think in terms of "I gotta buy this or I gotta buy that, so I need to make more money!"
They don't see money as an entity that has a life-force of it's own. Now mind you I said life force not life. The difference is that pretty much everything has a life-force because we and everything around us is made up of the same material-that being energy. Scientists have already established that all material in life boils down to energy-including human beings. Only the vibrational rate is different. In other words, a plant is alive just as you are, yet it does not have the same level of consciousness because it's vibrational rate is different.  If you put a plant under a microscope, and a piece of human flesh under a microscope, they will both boil all the way down to the same material, but one (human) will be vibrating at a much higher velocity. What does this have to do with making money? Simply that people who make really large amounts of money have been shown time and again to have a money consciousness. A higher vibrational pull that seems to attract money. Now you may think I've fallen off the deep end, but realize that only people who never read anything but smut. already know this. It's been written about, talked about, and substantiated for years.

Some of the ways you can attune your mind to have a money consciousness are:

• Write down how much you want to have, and when
• Write down what you are willing to give in exchange for this largess (the universe is a give and take type organism
• Write down 5-10 things you really love to do
• Write down 10 ways you could possibly make money doing them
• Take 15 minutes 2x a day and really feel the money, imagine it so strongly you can feel the emotions of actually holding it.
• Carry that feeling with you, and imagine that you are quite wealthy. Now carry yourself as you imagine wealthy people do. It has been proven time and again that the feeling of wealth creates wealth, just like  the feeling of poverty creates poverty.... And this is why many millionaires will say things like;

"Oh I was rich when I didn't have 2 nickels to rub together,  the money just wasn't in the bank yet"


 Not going to go much deeper into that. You are welcome to look up and study that at your will. But I really want to talk about money because it's a subject so many of us have trouble with when it's does not need to be that way at all. You are attracting or repelling money with your thoughts and subsequent actions. If what you are doing is not working then for heaven's sake -stop and re-evaluate what you should do to get what you want, (ie money)
People put a lot of fear around money, and fear is a REPELLENT. Or to put it another way, it's an opposite attractant. This is why people who fear losing their relationships often do, or a dog you fear is much more likely to bite you. You can take this one step further and look around for examples people often get exactly what they fear most. In the case with money, people often fear not having enough, and so they often don't.
The way to think of money is not as something to go out and work for, and work for, and work for. The way to think of money is I'll work hard for you, and then you're going to work hard for ME!  The relationship should be one of mutual respect-for money never stays where it's not respected. Think of it as you want to treat money well, you want to respect it, and get it to stay. You want it to meet other money and have lots of babies. I know that's a very simplistic analogy but putting it like that will make it much clearer for some people. To put it ever simpler, don't squander it, respect it, and do what the rich do.

So I know your next question:  What do the RICH DO?

It's simple. They buy things that will APPRECIATE!  They buy assets. And speaking of assets I know a lot of people think their house is an asset because the bank listed it as one, or calls it one. The reason the bank calls your house an asset is because it is- for them! It appreciates in value, and pays a dividend. That's the definition of an asset! But it's a liability for you- make no mistake about it. Yes it's a necessary liability, but a liability nevertheless. And this is why you should NOT be trying to have the biggest house in the neighborhood. Look at what happened to Hammer... If you've ever seen cribs, you seen many of the same blk celebs who boast the biggest, and  most beautiful houses are  the same ones declaring bankruptcy right and left. This is because their empires were built on shaky foundations to start

a. The premise that they would continue to have profitable work; what if their career dries up?
What if there is a scandal that results in loss of interest- (ie fame/money)?
What if they are injured and can no longer play the sport that enabled them to make millions?
What if one too many baby-mommas take them to court, and the subsequent atty fees annihilate their finances? Make no mistake about it, Attorney fees have been known to bring strong men to their knees....

Ladies you've got to get ASSETS!  Because when times are hard, your assets will feed you while your liabilities will try to eat you alive.  Think of assets as Income producing vehicles -which appreciate in value. This is why your house although it appreciates is NOT an asset (to you). It is not income producing for you, but is for the bank. This is why it IS an asset for the bank. Some of the best assets for regular Americans are as follows;

stocks -simply follow the trends and you'll do very well
bonds
Real Estate -best asset of all for most people
venture capitalist- Have to really study and know what you're doing in this area
Investing in things you and your friends use everyday= this is an easy simple way to invest wisely...

Some other money tips
Money attracts money-so save 20% not just as a hedge against inflation as many people do, but as an attractant for more money. This also is extremely stress relieving. The more money you have in the bank-the better you'll find yourself sleeping....

Start a small home business, save tremendously on your taxes. You can write off many things with a home business, and even pay your children up to 400.00 per month to help you, instead of allowance. You can write off trips as business expenses (provided you do some business while there) and lots of other stuff can be written off, gas, food, etc (Use a good CPA,) and find out how much you can save..


Intangible Assets...
To build a good wealth foundation, it's so important to take a analysis of your assets. And this includes the tangible and intangible ones. Because at some point in life you will have to draw on every strength within you to deal whatever life throws at you. If you have no idea what your strengths and weaknesses are, you will be in a world of hurt. This is why people are losing their jobs and jumping off buildings. They have never taken inventory of their assets. They don't know that the job being taken from them was just the universe's way of jolting them out of their stupor, and forcing them to use intangible assets and grow. You are always meant to grow. As you age you are supposed to grow in wisdom, peace, temperament, and wealth. If you don't recognize your assets both tangible and intangible for what they are, people WILL try to take them, make no mistake about it. You see this at play when people with great talent, sell themselves very short. In my sister's neighborhood, all her neighbors use a specific plumber who is really quite talented at his trade. The problem is he sells his 'work' so cheaply, he can barely afford to feed his family. He only charges about 15% over the cost of the materials to work like a dog for hours! I watched my own sister give him one forth of what he should have gotten one day at her house. When I asked her why she did not pay him more, She looked up and me, and snapped. "Well, I gave him what he asked for-why would I give him more?"
And that's exactly the summation of it. Nobody, even nice people will not respect your talents (intangible asset) if you don't. They'll take them at prices so low your family will be on starvation rations. That's why it's so important to respect your IAs. Speaking of that, did you know that Microsoft is NOT Bill Gate's invention? The rumor is that he actually bought it from another genius for only 50.000 and stiffed them on all royalties! Like I said, even nice, or seemingly nice people will use your talents/assets and leave you broke. Don't sell yourself short because if you don't have your own back, I can promise you no one else will either.

So we will go into more depth at a later date....
Thank you for tuning in-see you soon..
