				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thoughtscreateabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jse_DSC_09071.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[slides]" title=""><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-31" title="jse_DSC_0907" src="http://thoughtscreateabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jse_DSC_09071-150x150.jpg" alt="Adrian Webb" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>We often talk about &#8220;going with the flow&#8221;.  Why?  Because that is what you were created to do!  You will be going in the direction where everything you desire takes place, naturally.</p>
<p>Think about this&#8230; everything that has been created in nature has a natural flow, and when it operates in that flow there is no struggle.  Below are just a few examples:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Water does not struggle to flow.<br />
Grass does not struggle to grow.<br />
Wind does not struggle to blow.<br />
Rain does not struggle to fall.<br />
Sun does not struggle to shine.<br />
Earth does not struggle to rotate.<br />
Flowers do not struggle to bloom.</p>
<p>What does this tell us?  Struggle is unnatural.  Why sentence ourselves to a life of struggle<br />
when it is clearly unnatural?</p>
<p>In short, struggle is a &#8220;learned response&#8221; that has been taught to us by those who are in a trance of struggle.  This &#8220;learned response&#8221; has become an UNCONSCIOUS HABITUAL PATTERN.</p>
<div>
<p>In fact, our subconscious mind has been programmed by society and the people we grew up with, that life is a struggle.  We have come to believe that life is a struggle, and that we will never have enough.  But this is NOT a fact, just a misconception, a false belief.</p>
</div>
<p>Awareness is the first step to making any change in our lives.</p>
<p>If you are aware that struggle is not &#8220;normal&#8221; and that it is a learned UNCONSCIOUS<br />
HABITUAL PATTERN, you can CONSCIOUSLY make the choice not to live your life paddling upstream.</p>
<p>Focus your attention on this:  NOTHING YOU WANT IS UPSTREAM!</p>
<p>Everything you want is DOWNSTREAM.</p>
<p>This means you do not have to struggle (paddle upstream) to have what you want.<br />
All you need to do is put your boat in the stream and let it carry you.  In fact, you<br />
don&#8217;t need to paddle at all.</p>
<p>Even if your boat is pointed in the wrong direction (upstream), as soon as you stop<br />
paddling, the stream will turn your boat around without any effort on your part.</p>
<p>Then you will be going in the direction where everything you desire takes place,<br />
naturally.</p>
<p>It is a simple but powerful metaphor.  Give up the struggle once and for all.  Let go of the<br />
paddles, trust that Source Energy will guide you downstream to your desire, and start<br />
enjoying the trip.  It&#8217;s a heck of a lot easier!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thoughtscreateabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jse_DSC_09071.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[slides]" title=""><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-31" title="jse_DSC_0907" src="http://thoughtscreateabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jse_DSC_09071-150x150.jpg" alt="Adrian Webb" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Imagine what you could do in your life, not just for yourself or your family, but also for other people, if you could master your relationship with money.   When you develop a true wealth mindset, you will find you can attract a constant flow of money to, and through you.</p>
<p>There are many people who are financially wealthy. They have lots of money but they live in fear of losing it.  You may know of some people like that.</p>
<p>Once you understood how money is really created and how it flows into and out of<br />
your life, you never need fear losing it again.</p>
<div>
<p>Learn how to develop a trust in the &#8220;flow&#8221; of money.  Remember, money is just another form of energy, a form of energy that makes the world go round.</p>
</div>
<p>To me, this trust in the ongoing supply of money is real freedom.</p>
<p>Having this trust that, even if you lose all your money for whatever reason, or your business collapses leaving you with nothing, you can bounce back with a new business, or a new way to generate money, and replace all that lost income, is very liberating.</p>
<p>This is what having a wealth mindset can help you achieve.</p>
<div>
<p>This freedom that comes from knowing you will never be without the flow of money<br />
into your life, is more valuable than having wealth alone, because it is something<br />
that cannot be taken away from you.</p>
<p>When you have this freedom, you do not have to live in fear of what is going to happen, or what might happen, because you will have a sense of certainty about your long term future.</p>
<p>That is what most people really want.</p>
<p>Imagine for a moment that there was someone who was willing to:</p>
<p>(a) give you a million pounds in cash</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>(b) teach you to develop and create a way to have all the money you will ever want or need<br />
flowing into your life whenever you want or need it.</p>
<p>Now, if we ask most people what they would prefer:</p>
<p>(a) the million pounds cash</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>(b) taking the time to develop the wealth consciousness that is necessary to have an unstoppable flow of money flowing into their lives whenever they want or need it.</p>
<p>What do you think they would go for?</p>
<p>I believe most people would take the cash.  The reason I believe this is because that is what I would have chosen for most of my life when I didn&#8217;t really undestand.</p>
<p>So let us assume that someone is lucky enough to win the lottery.  How well off do you think they are going to be seven years later?  Are people who win the lotto better off financially or are they worse off, in the long run?</p>
<div>
<p>Statistics prove to us that in fact they are WORSE off five to seven years later.  Most lottery winners end up spending or &#8216;losing&#8217; all their winnings within seven years!</p>
</div>
<p>Can you believe that?</p>
<p>They did not have the wealth mindset to cope with their sudden good fortune. They were not comfortable around money.  They had a poor relationship with money.</p>
<p>Would they have been better off with the huge cash lump sum, or the ability to create an unstoppable flow of money for the rest of their lives?</p>
<p>If you can understand that simple concept, you can now behave very differently compared to how most people seem to think about money.</p>
<p>In order for you to resolve this issue, you have to take your eyes off money itself, and focus instead on creating a &#8220;flow&#8221; of money, by creating a wealth and abundance mindset.</p>
<p>Having a wealth mindset represents 80% of our ability to attract and create real wealth.</p>
<p>What most people do not understand is that the actual steps &#8211; the &#8220;how to&#8221; (investing,<br />
businesses, jobs, careers, etc.) only represents 20% of their ability to create an unstoppable<br />
flow of wealth into their lives.</p>
<p>Therefore, if you neglect the development of a wealth mindset, and focus on the &#8220;how to&#8221; instead, you will struggle with money for the rest of your life.</p>
<p>When you develop a wealth mindset you will find you can attract a constant flow of<br />
money to, and through you.  You will be shown the way.</p>
<p>So, rather than ask for a million pounds or dollars, ask for a continuing flow of money to and through you.  This will bring you true peace of mind.</p>

<p>Thinking like everyone else holds you back &#8211; you need to become a free spirit!  Join the 3% of society who want to achieve something big, who can visualize the future, and who create the future, through creative and critical thinking.</p>
<p>Most of us have been taught to follow the crowd.  We subscribe to &#8220;tribal&#8221; thinking, which is the thinking of the masses.  It is not easy to break free from this type of thinking, or non-thinking.  If you think like everyone else, then you will be just like everyone else.</p>
<p>We have been conditioned from a young age, what to think and what to believe.  It could arguably be called brainwashing!  The media, our politicians, our family, our teachers, our church leaders, our peer group, etc. have all, to a lesser or greater extent, moulded our thoughts, and this has created who we are.</p>
<p>A lot of people find this a huge stumbling block as they go through life, because they believe what social, political, religious and other authority figures have told them is &#8220;true&#8221;.  They believe what they read in the press, without questioning it.  They believe what their religious leaders preach to them about, without questioning these teachings.</p>
<p>They have allowed other people, and society in general, to program their own subconscious minds with beliefs they believe to be true, but which are not true, merely perceptions of the truth.  More to the point &#8211; other people&#8217;s misconceptions.</p>
<p>Some examples:</p>
<p><em>Money is the root of all evil.</em></p>
<p><em>Rich people are not to be trusted.</em></p>
<p><em>You have to work very hard, like 10 hours a day, seven days a week, to become really successful and wealthy.</em></p>
<p><em>Life is a struggle, there never is enough, and there never will be enough.</em></p>
<p>None of the above statements is true, as becomes obvious when you really think deeply about each of these issues.</p>
<p>As a result, there is a lot of fear associated with leaving the tribe, because people do not have the confidence, or the ability, to think for themselves.  They would prefer to stay within their comfort zone and rely on their leaders to do the thinking for them..  However, these people will never experience true freedom, success, or wealth, unless they learn to think for themselves.</p>
<p>But to do this, you must be capable of critical thought &#8211; which is something members of the tribe cannot do.  They just want to go along with the flow and do what others tell them to do. They become, and remain, followers.</p>
<p>Put another way &#8211; most people don&#8217;t know how to think.  They have been told WHAT to think for so long, they no longer know HOW to think.</p>
<p>Around 3% of the population can be regarded as winners, because they enjoy significant success and wealth.  They march to the beat of their own drum.  They don&#8217;t quite fit the little cookie in a cookie fitting world.  They are different to everyone else.  They don&#8217;t think like most people.  They don&#8217;t accept what the majority of the population accept.  They are there to win in the game of life.  That requires critical thought.</p>
<p>These 3% are dreamers.  They dream a lot.  This 3% want to achieve something big.  They can visualize the future, they predict the future,  and they create the future.</p>
<p>They have the ability to think creatively, and make thinks happen.  They are the wealth creators, both for their country, but also for themselves.  They are paid to think.  Highly successful business leaders will often take time out every day to be alone in their office, just thinking silently about solutions to the various challenges their business faces.  That&#8217;s why they earn such high incomes.  They are solving problims.  They make things happen.  They create something of value where there was no value before.  All this requires creative thinking, or critical thought.</p>
<p>At the other end of the spectrum, there are manual labourers, for example, working extremely hard in very physical jobs, for low pay.  Their income is limited, because they get paid per hour of work, and there is a limit to how many hours they can work each week.</p>
<p>Physical work does not pay well, because it is relatively low value work, and requires no real thinking.  Those people who are paid to think, can earn much more, even though they work no more hours than the manual labourer, because &#8216;thinking&#8217; is a much more valuable activity than manual labour.</p>
<p>Thinking is what has resulted in the progress of civilization.  Imagine where we would all be without all those great thinking minds of the past 500 years or so.  Inventors, scientists, engineers, teachers, philosophers, who have, together, helped transform our planet with their forward thinking.</p>
<p>The good news is that even if you feel you were encouraged to be part of the tribe and just go along with what everyone else was thinking and doing, YOU can, from now on, be different!</p>
<p>Every person has the free will to choose how they think, or what they think.  You can decide NOW to think for yourself, and to question the accepted ways of thinking of the tribe you have been a member of up until now.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the lesson for you?  Break free and be yourself!  Become a free spirit.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m convinced that true freedom, success, and wealth, all require you to think radically differently from what the rest of the tribe is thinking.   You need to question the beliefs you hold on everything.  This is not easy because we are addicted to certainty and staying in our comfort zone.  We don&#8217;t like uncertainty and change.</p>
<p>We would rather be certain about our beliefs than face the fact that what we believe may<br />
not be &#8220;true&#8221;.  But the more you question what the tribe believes, the more you will<br />
realize that they are being hypnotized, because this is in the interests of &#8216;our leaders&#8217; who want to keep us all in our place by controlling us.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to wait for the rest of your tribe to wake up from the trance.   You can do it right NOW!</p>
<p>Greater awareness brings choice, and choice brings you more control over your life.</p>

<p>We all allow our pesonal &#8216;stories&#8217; to determine how we live our lives.</p>
<p>Stories are a sequence of thoughts that we convince ourselves are real.   A story may be about the past, the present, or the future.  It may be about things we should do, or what we think we can have, do, and be.</p>
<p>Stories are untested, uninvestigated theories, or assumptions, that tell us what things mean.</p>
<p>The problem is we don&#8217;t seem to realize that most of our stories are just assumptions.  I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn&#8217;t caused by attaching myself to an untrue    thought, story, or &#8216;problem&#8217;.</p>
<p>Rather than understand the original cause, what caused us to think or feel this way, we try to change our stressful feelings by looking outside of ourselves &#8211; to external circumstances.</p>
<p>It is easy to get swept away by some overwhelming negative feeling, so it is helpful to remember that any stressful feeling is like a compassionate messenger from within that says, <em>&#8220;You are caught up in your own story, be careful!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Your emotional system is your internal guidance system.  When you feel bad, you are moving away from what you want.  When you feel good, you are moving toward what you want.</p>
<p>Depression, pain, fear, doubt, and worry, are &#8216;gifts&#8217; that say, <em>&#8220;Take a look at what you are</em><br />
<em> thinking right now. You&#8217;re living in a story that is not really true for you, and this will not lead you where you want to go&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>When we get caught up in the dream or the illusion, we try to alter and manipulate the<br />
stressful feeling rather than deal with the thought that created it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I say that any negative emotion is like an alarm clock that is designed to wake<br />
you up to the fact that you have a thought that you may want to investigate and eliminate.</p>
<p>Inquiry and investigation of any thought that is untrue will always lead you back towards true happiness, and who you really are.</p>
<p>If you put your hand in a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it?  Do you have to decide?</p>
<p>No!  When your hand starts to burn, it moves instinctively.  You don&#8217;t have to direct it.  The<br />
hand moves itself.</p>
<p>In the same way, once you understand, through the inquiry and investigation of any thought or story that is untrue, and realize it is causing you suffering, you will instinctively move away from it.  You cannot keep doing something that does not serve you in a positive way.  It is simple logic.  Before you had that thought you were not suffering.  With that thought you<br />
are suffering.  When you recognize this thought isn&#8217;t true, you will go back to not suffering and return to a state of happiness.</p>
<p>Self inquiry is the way to end all personal suffering, and to experience peace, even in a world<br />
of apparent chaos.</p>
<p>Above all else, self inquiry is about realizing that all the answers you will ever need are<br />
inside of you, and are always available to you if you are willing to give up your story.</p>
<p>In other words, you can be your own guru by looking within yourself for all the answers<br />
you need.</p>

<p>How committed are you to achieving your goals?</p>
<p>Wanting or choosing to achieve your goals is not enough.  The definition of the word <em>&#8216;commit&#8217;</em> is <em>&#8220;to devote oneself unreservedly&#8221;,</em> meaning to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.  Failure is not an option.</p>
<p>It is when you are really committed, that the universe supports you 100%.  Most people set goals for themselves, and then when one little obstacle, or a series of little obstacles, knocks them off track, they give up.  Commitment is essential in achieving whatever it is you desire.</p>
<p>Most people claim to be committed, but in reality they place too many conditions on what they are willing to do, to manifest their desires.</p>
<p>They are reluctant to give up their time watching television, or watching the week-end football game, or going down to the pub, or going to the gym, etc. etc. etc.</p>
<p>They are not prepared to make the sacrifices required, in order to achieve the success they desire.  They are not prepared to invest the time to read and learn, or acquire new skills.</p>
<p>When obstacles appear, these people are not sufficiently motivated to persevere in order to overcome these obstacles.  So they give up.</p>
<p>You must give 100% to whatever it is that you want to achieve in your life.</p>
<p>When you are pursuing your true heart&#8217;s desires, you will generate the internal motivation and energy needed to overcome all obstacles, and you will do whatever it takes to be successful.</p>
<p>The secret, therefore, is to do what you really, really, want to do.  In other words, follow your passion and your true heart&#8217;s desires.</p>
<p>People who have experienced the greatest success, achieved that success because they were 100% committed to their own success, and in every case, they were following their true hearts&#8217; desires.</p>
<p>When you are fully committed, the universe will guide you and support you, and help you attract what you want into your life.  You will attract the people, the resources, the ideas, the opportunities, the events, the energy, and the commitment necessary.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a great quote that explains this beautifully:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,</em> <em>the chance to draw back, always</em> <em>ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of</em> <em>initiative (and creation), there is one</em> <em>elementary truth, the ignorance of</em><br />
<em> which kills countless ideas and splendid</em> <em>plans: that the moment one definitely</em> <em>commits oneself, then providence</em> <em>moves too.</em></p>
<p><em>A whole stream of events issues from</em> <em>the decision, raising in one&#8217;s favour</em> <em>all manner of unforseen incidents,</em> <em>meetings, and material assistance,</em> <em>which no man could have dreamt</em> <em>would have come his way.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>- W.H.Murray &#8211; Explorer</p>
<p>Colonel Sanders was refused 1,009 times over a two year period, before he found a restaurant which said &#8220;yes&#8221; to his new chicken recipe.  The rest is history.</p>
<p>Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he was successful in getting financing for his dream of creating the Disney entertainment empire.  Again, the rest is history.</p>
<p>Thomas Edison failed with many thousands of experimemts before he perfected the electric light bulb.  Once again, the rest is histroy.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I am not discouraged, because every</em> <em>wrong attempt discarded is another</em> <em>step forward&#8221;.</em>  -  Thomas Edison</p>
<p>A CNN executive personally pulled Katie Couric off the air and told her she had no future in television. She went on to become co-host of  NBC&#8217;s program The Today Show, and now earns an estimated $10 million a year salary.</p>
<p>Randy Travis was rejected by almost every record company in Nashville before going on to establish himself as a pivotal figure in the history of American country music.  He has recorded 20 studio albums and charted more than 30 singles on the Country Songs charts, 22 of which were number one hits.</p>
<p>Ray Charles was once told by teachers that he couldn&#8217;t play the piano, yet he went on to become one of the greatest American musicians of all time.</p>
<p>Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen created the #1 best-selling book series, &#8220;Chicken Soup for the Soul&#8221; after being rejected by publishers 144 times.</p>
<p>What all of these people had in common was they were following their passion, stayed true to their intention, were committed, and took persistent action toward their dreams, until they were successful.  Nothing was ever going to stop them!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thoughtscreateabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jse_DSC_09071.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[slides]" title=""><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-31" title="jse_DSC_0907" src="http://thoughtscreateabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jse_DSC_09071-150x150.jpg" alt="Adrian Webb" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start off by asking&#8230;</p>
<p>Have you been trying to attract more money into your life, without any real success?</p>
<p>How about attracting an exquisite relationship, have you had success with that?</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;re not as fit or &#8220;in shape&#8221; as you&#8217;d like to be, and no matter how hard you try you just can&#8217;t seem to reach that elusive goal&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, how would you like to know what the main &#8216;hidden&#8217; reason for this is?</p>
<p>In 9 out of 10 cases, it&#8217;s that one or more of your beliefs about yourself are holding you back.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also highly likely that you don&#8217;t even consciously know about these subconscious beliefs.</p>
<p>Beliefs are those things that you believe to be true.  Whether they are true or not, is irrelevant.  The point here, is that you believe them to be true beyond any doubt.</p>
<p>Let me give you an example&#8230;</p>
<p>Perhaps when you were growing up you believed that Santa Claus existed, or maybe it was the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy, or maybe even all three ?</p>
<p>At the time you believed in these characters, there was no doubt in your mind that they were real.  These fictitious characters existed beyond any doubt, as far as you were concerned.</p>
<p>In the same way that you had that firm belief in one or more of those fictitious characters, you also have firm beliefs about yourself.</p>
<p>Those beliefs could be similar to the ones listed below:</p>
<p>- I can&#8217;t be successful<br />
- I&#8217;m not good enough<br />
- I don&#8217;t deserve that<br />
- I&#8217;m too old, too thin, too fat, too young<br />
- I don&#8217;t have enough money to do that<br />
- I don&#8217;t have enough experience<br />
- I don&#8217;t have enough motivation<br />
- I don&#8217;t have the right connections</p>
<p>If you do have similar beliefs to those listed above, then the chances of you attracting financial independence into your life, or success, or your perfect soul mate, or your ideal shape, are going to be limited, if not impossible.</p>
<p>So if someone believes that they don&#8217;t have enough experience to do something successfully, then they won&#8217;t succeed.  Simple.  In fact, they usually won&#8217;t even try, because commitment and will power can only be generated when you believe you are capable of something.</p>
<p>When someone believes that they can be successful, regardless of their level of experience, then they will be successful, because they can generate the will power to do whatever it takes to be successful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Henry Ford was once quoted as saying the following: <em><br />
&#8220;If you think you can do a thing, or you think you can&#8217;t, you&#8217;re right.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In other words, If you don&#8217;t believe that you can be successful, then you won&#8217;t be.  If you do believe you can be successful at whatever you try, then you will be.</p>
<p>So as you think about the goals that you&#8217;ve set for 2012, it&#8217;s also important to consider how any limiting beliefs you have will reduce your chances of achieving them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you can see why some people never reach their full potential!</p>
<p>The good news is, that once you become aware of any limiting beliefs that you might have, you&#8217;ll be 50% on the way to removing them.</p>
<p>This is because awareness brings choice (you can choose to change your beliefs), and choice gives you control over your life (you can choose beliefs that empower you, rather than hold you back).</p>
<p>So take a few minutes <em>right now</em> and write down what you believe about yourself&#8230;</p>
<p>If there is some negative &#8220;stuff&#8221; then start questioning the validity of it.  Why do you believe that?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s this &#8216;questioning&#8217; of your beliefs that will, with time, patience and determination, undo these beliefs and replace them with empowering ones.</p>
<p>You can get started on this straight away.</p>
<p>Do this&#8230;and you&#8217;ll start to feel (and see), the benefits within 4 or 5 days, that&#8217;s a promise.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thoughtscreateabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jse_DSC_09071.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[slides]" title=""><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-31" title="jse_DSC_0907" src="http://thoughtscreateabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jse_DSC_09071-150x150.jpg" alt="Adrian Webb" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Law of Attraction coaches strongly suggest we let go, and trust in the Divine, or Source Energy, or the Universal Creative Mind, or God, to help us manifest what we desire.  In other words, we need to place our trust in that incredible intelligence that created, and sustains, our universe.</p>
<p>Letting go means we should detach ourselves from the end result and &#8220;allow&#8221; what we desire to come to us.</p>
<p>There is a fine line between desiring what we want and then being detached from it manifesting in our life.</p>
<p>Being detached from something doesn&#8217;t mean you don&#8217;t care or that you don&#8217;t want it.  You still want it, and you may still  desire it with all your heart.</p>
<p>It just means that you don&#8217;t <em>need</em> to have it in order to be happy.  When you come from a place of <em>needing</em> something, you are coming from a place of lack, and of desperation.  You are telling the universe that you are missing out on something and you can&#8217;t be happy until that something is fulfilled.</p>
<p>The vibration you are sending out is one of lack, and that is precisely what you will receive back from from the universe&#8230; more lack.  You always attract what you are resonating with, at an energetic level.  Your emotions determine your energetic vibration, and this is what you send out into the universe, and the Law of Attraction ensures that you magnetically attract those people, things, opportunities, events, resources, and circumstances, that resonate with the energy you are sending out.</p>
<p>It is impossible to attract what you are <em>not</em> in harmony with.  If you are vibrating in a very negative way, you cannot attract good positive things into your life&#8230; and vice versa.  The Law of Attraction operates according to specific scientific principles, every single time.  It&#8217;s like the Law of Gravity.</p>
<p>When you feel OK with your present circumstances, and feel grateful for what you already have, and you are not stressing over getting what you desire, while still looking forward to receiving it at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate manner, then you are not resisting what you want, and you are setting yourself up to attract it into your life.</p>
<p>When you are stressing and getting desperate, and constantly asking, <em>&#8220;Where is it?&#8221;</em> or <em>&#8220;When am I going to get what I want?&#8221;</em> or<em> &#8220;Why haven&#8217;t I received it yet?&#8221;</em>, then you are creating resistance, which is a concentration of negative energy in your body, and this results in negative attraction.  Negative attraction is a negative energetic force field which repels what you want, so it is impossible to attract what you desire, and this is the very opposite of what you want!</p>
<p>Ask yourself this question, <em>&#8220;Do I need this to happen, or do I prefer that this happens?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>When you come from a place of <em>preferring</em> something, you are then detached.  You would absolutely love it to happen, but you won&#8217;t get upset if it doesn&#8217;t, because your happiness and<br />
fulfillment doesn&#8217;t depend on it.  Another way of putting it&#8230; you would like something to happen, but if it doesn&#8217;t happen, well that&#8217;s O.K. because you&#8217;re happy already with what you have in this moment.</p>
<p>Many years ago, when I desired to have my ideal partner, I was <em>very</em> clear that she would come into my life at the right time, and in an appropriate manner.</p>
<p>I had no idea when or how this would happen.  I didn&#8217;t feel that I needed a woman to make me happy.  I was already happy and fulfilled.  I remember thinking, <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t need a woman&#8221;</em>, <em>but</em><br />
<em>I prefer to have a woman</em>.&#8221;  I was emotionally detached from the outcome.  I created the space<br />
for the universe to bring my ideal partner into my life in a very magical way.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t desperate.  I got out of my own way, and allowed the right woman to be attracted to me when the time was right for both of us.  If this didn&#8217;t happen, well, that was O.K.  I was happy already.</p>
<p>My only specific desire was to be married before my 40th birthday, but if that didn&#8217;t happen, that was OK, too.  I certainly wasn&#8217;t worrying about that event not happening!</p>
<p>When I least expected it, when I was not even trying to date anyone, I was introduced to my ideal partner by a mutual friend, and it was love at first site.   She was my perfect partner.<br />
We married shortly afterwards, four weeks before my 40th birthday!</p>
<p>Detachment means allowing the universe to work its magic in its own way.</p>
<p>Your task is to enjoy your life in this moment, and in every moment, and allow the universe to manifest what is yours by divine right, without being obsessed about the outcome.</p>

<p>Think about this.  Everything that has been created in nature has a natural flow, and when it operates in that flow there is no struggle.</p>
<p>Think about the whole universe, and not just the earth.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Water does not struggle to flow.<br />
Grass does not struggle to grow.<br />
Wind does not struggle to blow.<br />
Rain does not struggle to fall.<br />
Sun does not struggle to shine.<br />
Earth does not struggle to rotate.<br />
Flowers do not struggle to bloom.</p>
<p>What does this tell us?  Struggle is unnatural.  Why sentence ourselves to a life of struggle<br />
when it is clearly unnatural?</p>
<p>In short, struggle is a &#8220;learned response&#8221; that has been taught to us by those who are in a<br />
trance of struggle.  This &#8220;learned response&#8221; has become an unconscious habitual pattern.</p>
<p>We have been programmed by society, by our parents, and by our teachers, that we have to work very hard, that we have to make all kinds of sacrifices, that we have to &#8216;struggle&#8217;, to be successful and financially secure in our lives.</p>
<p>As a result, most people seem to be working as if they are on a hamster wheel, going round and round, but getting nowhere!</p>
<p>Yet, we know that working smart is more important than working hard.  Some of the most successful and wealthiest people do not seem to over exert themselves.  They work smart, and just go with the flow.</p>
<p>Awareness is the first step to making any change in our lives.  If you are aware that struggle is not &#8220;normal&#8221; and that it is a learned unconscious habitual pattern, you can consciously make the choice not to live your life paddling upstream.</p>
<p>It is not a fact that life is a struggle.  This is just a belief, a perception, that we have picked up through subconscious programming.  Do NOT buy into that mistaken belief.  If you believe in struggle, then rest assured, that&#8217;s exactly what you will experience!</p>
<p>Focus your attention on this: nothing you want is upstream.</p>
<p>Everything you want is downstream.  This means you do not have to struggle (paddle up stream) to have it.  All you need to do is put your boat in the stream and let it<br />
carry you.</p>
<p>In fact, you don&#8217;t need to paddle at all.</p>
<p>Even if your boat is pointed in the wrong direction (upstream), as soon as you stop paddling, the stream will turn your boat around without any effort on your part. Then you will be going in the direction where everything you desire takes place, naturally.</p>
<p>It is a simple but powerful metaphor.  Give up the struggle once and for all.  Let go of the paddles, trust that Source Energy (the universal creative mind that creates and sustains all life in the universe) will guide you downstream to your desire, and start enjoying the trip.  It&#8217;s a heck of a lot easier!</p>

<p>Most people seem to struggle through life simply reacting to events around them, oblivious to the fact that they help to create those events.  Like a ship tossed at sea, they see themselves buffeted by external circumstances, a tiny object subject to the whims of chance.</p>
<p>But here is the reality&#8230;</p>
<p>While I agree many people have been born as victims of circumstances, I don&#8217;t believe they have to STAY that way.  Often we do not have a choice about being victimized, but we do have a choice about STAYING that way, and using it as our excuse not to live the life we desire.</p>
<p>Are there any areas in your own life where you feel you have been living at the victim level of awareness.  Having that knowledge is the first step to freedom.</p>
<p>When you have a conscious awareness of what&#8217;s really going on, you have choice, because you can choose to think and behave differently, and, therefore, you can have more control over your life and what happens to you.</p>
<p>Your predominant thinking determines the kind of life you experience.  Your consistent thoughts have brought you to where you are in your life right now.</p>
<p>If you keep thinking what you have been thinking, and you keep believing what you have been believing, and you keep doing what you have been doing, up until now, then &#8230; you will keep on getting similar results.</p>
<p>The same kind of people will keep showng up in your life, the same kind of situations will keep on arising, similar problems, or opportunities, will keep popping up in your life.  If your predominant thinking has consistently brought you good results, then you will continue to experience a good life.  If your predominant thinking has consistently resulted in struggle, then you will continue to struggle.</p>
<p>The point is, you are, generally, responsible for what happens to you.  You may insist that you did not want or expect the unfortunate things that may have happened to you.  However, on some level, you <em>have</em> attracted them into your life, usually subconsciously because of limiting beliefs that were not in harmony with what you consciously wanted to happen.</p>
<p>You do not have to continue feeling that you are a victim of circumstances.  You are free, at any time, to break free of being a victim, and take complete control of your future destiny.</p>
<p>Unlike most people who believe they are victims and have no choice, you know that you can move up through the different levels of awareness, through to the level of conscious choice. This means that no matter what happens to you, you never have to remain a victim.</p>
<p>It is like being locked up in a prison cell, but the key is in the door.  All you have to do is turn the key and you are free.  You are only a prisoner if you choose to be a prisoner. You are only a victim if you choose to remain a victim.</p>
<p>If you ask people why they are not rich they will come up with dozens of &#8220;reasons&#8221; why they cannot seem to break through the barrier of struggle and survival to achieve riches.</p>
<p>Whether you believe it or not, the masses have chosen poverty, regardless of the fact that they wish they had abundance.</p>
<p>Creating struggle is simply another way to hold onto being a victim.  We create struggle because it allows us to have an excuse for not having what we want.  It also allows us to lie to ourselves.  It is a built-in validation for a life of mediocrity.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the good news.  If you have used your thoughts to create difficulty, struggle and suffering, there is nothing to stop you from creating riches and happiness<br />
in your life right NOW.</p>
<p>The solution is simple. Just reverse your thoughts and actions.  Think the opposite of what you have been thinking, and do the opposite of what you have been doing and<br />
you are virtually guaranteed to succeed!</p>
<p>Do not buy into all this doom and gloom around us right now.</p>
<p>Yes, many people working in financial services in Wall Street and London, along with big corporations, and collective governments, on both sides of the Atlantic, in other words, many people in positions of power, have let us all down badly by their reckless behaviour.  It is easy to feel a victim, and hundreds of millions of people probably feel victims right now, because their lives have been devastated over the past three years, and it was not their fault.</p>
<p>However, every one of us has the personal power within us to turn our lives around, when we no longer stay in that dark place of feeling that we are a victim.  Accept responsibility for your own life, for your own future.  Accepting responsibility for your own destiny is the first step.  When you feel responsible, you have greater awareness of how changing your predominant thinking, and your predominant behaviour, brings you the results and the kind of life you want.</p>
<p>Remember this fact: greater awareness brings choice and, therefore, control.</p>

<p>How do you start each day?</p>
<p>Do you spend more time first thing in the morning, like most people, and like I used to do, deciding what to wear, or thinking about unimportant stuff, or trivial matters, than planning on having a great day?</p>
<p>I used to be like this, with the result I just stumbled into my day, and took whatever came my way, without having any real control over how my day went, that&#8217;s certainly how it felt.</p>
<p>Then I read a book, that cost me less than £10 on Amazon, and I woke up!</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Paving it Forward&#8221;</em> by Elisabeth Fayt, and I recommend it to you.</p>
<p>I read this book in a couple of days, and my morning routine changed immediately.</p>
<p>Now I spend 10 minutes every morning intentionally creating how I want my day to go with a series of positive statements.</p>
<p>These intentions then become expectations, and these in turn become my reality.  Little miracles start to happen.  As a result, I am now finding my life is so much more productive, happier, and fulfilled.</p>
<p>I really feel that I am now in control.</p>
<p>Here are some examples of the kind of deliberate statements of intention (called pre-paves)<br />
I make each morning:</p>
<p><em>Good things are always happening to me</em></p>
<p><em>I achieve all the success my hard work deserves</em></p>
<p><em>Everything that&#8217;s happening is happening for my highest good</em></p>
<p><em>I turn every situation into something good</em></p>
<p><em>I achieve peak productivity by working smart, acting immediately on divine inspiration,</em><br />
<em> and focussing on high priority income producing tasks</em></p>
<p><em>Today I focus on serving others</em></p>
<p><em> I always look for, and find, the good in every situation</em></p>
<p><em>I always look for, and find, the good in every other person</em></p>
<p><em>I connect with everyone on a deep and sincere level</em></p>
<p><em>Today I will make someone&#8217;s day</em></p>
<p><em>Today I keep my vibration high and uplift others around me</em></p>
<p><em>I approach all other people today with understanding and compassion</em></p>
<p><em>I am 100% responsible for everything I experience in my life</em></p>
<p><em>I react to every situation today with calmness</em></p>
<p><em>I am a calm and peaceful person</em></p>
<p><em>Today it is easy for me to be patient with all people and all circumstances</em></p>
<p><em>Each day I am becoming better and better</em></p>
<p><em>Each day, I am becoming, more and more, the person I really want to be</em></p>
<p><em>I don&#8217;t have to work hard for my money</em></p>
<p><em>Money comes easily and frequently to me</em></p>
<p><em>Money is a natural manifestation of the universe</em></p>
<p><em>There is an abundance of money around</em></p>
<p><em>It&#8217;s good to be rich</em></p>
<p><em>The richer I am, and the more money I have, the more people I can help</em></p>
<p><em>I am destined for great success and wealth</em></p>
<p><em>I handle money and wealth well</em></p>
<p><em>I deserve to be wealthy and successful</em></p>
<p><em>I have a high threshold of deservingness</em></p>
<p>Do you see how these are all very positive and empowering statements about how I want my day to go, and how I want my life to go?</p>
<p>I am slowly but surely reprogramming my subconscious mind, and my intention is to replace my limiting beliefs with empowering beliefs.</p>
<p>Why not consider doing something similar each morning to start your day?</p>
