Prosperity Happens

Change is Not Meant to Make Us Bitter, Only Better

Today I wanted to share a post from the First 30 Days blog and is written by my dear fiend, Ariane De Bonvoisin.  Every post I write always correlates to what is going on in my own life so this one really resonated with me tonight so I wanted to share here as well. 

The path to prosperity and success has everything to do about growth... and everything to do with growth has everything to do about going through change:

"Change is a funny thing- too often we think things like:

Change is hard

I hate change

Decisions are tough

We don’t look forward to change. We joke that we would prefer things not to change.

So I wondered- why is it we never think of or remember all the great changes we loved?

Meeting someone and falling in love, getting married, having a baby, starting a new job we didn’t think we would get, making some well earned money, losing weight, moving to a great new place, recovering from an illness, doing something exceptional, deciding to change careers, go back to school, pursuing a dream, simply becoming a happier person, or meeting that person that became your best friend now….

There are hundreds of great life changes and decisions we have all been part of.

What are some of the best decisions you have made? What are some of the hardest changes you actually got through and developed real inner strength and spirit?

I met an older man in a restaurant the other day in New York- he overheard me passionately encouraging a friend of mine who was exploring making a change in his life, moving, changing careers etc… he interrupted us and reminded me that change was against human nature, people only want safety and security. He, together with so many of us, want to keep our little world exactly the same. He had never thought of all the great changes he had experienced so far in his life.

And yet, everyday, we are reminded that everything changes. Everything.

If we could only start welcoming changes, even those that make us feel out of control, where we don’t know how things might end up, where our world may be turned around, we might see that usually, there is the seed of something new, something positive that is already growing beneath the surface.

Change is not meant to make us bitter, only better (someone famous said this to me at some point)

Think of what would never happen if nothing ever changed from this point on in your life…..? Now would you prefer to allow change in, or would you prefer to sign up for the no-more change ever program?"

What Are You Afraid Of?

Today's guest author is Dr. Robert Anthony of www.thesecretofdeliberatecreation.com.  This article repeats a lot of what we already know but there are few little gold nuggets so I thought it was worth posting:

What Are You Araid Of?
by: Dr. Robert Anthony

There's this common, well-known truth that "what you focus on expands." It's simple math. The more you focus on the things you want, the more of those things you manifest in your life.

The reverse is also true. The more you focus on the things you don’t want, the more of those things you manifest in your life.

The problem is that 9 out of 10 people live within a "Matrix of Fear" where they're programmed to be afraid of everything, including success, failure, health problems, money problems, relationships -- and the list is endless.

In addition to what’s going on in their personal lives, most people add to their personal fears by getting caught up in global dramas as well.

Unfortunately most people give up their power to create their lives the way they want. Instead, they are *unconsciously* creating their lives exactly opposite of the way they want them.

They manifest their fears through their intense feelings of worry and fear about things that *may* happen!

So of course, they live a self-fulfilling prophecy and they ‘DO’ happen!

Everything - everything - starts with a thought.

It works that way with any thoughts you have, because thoughts are creative - especially when you energize them through strong feelings and emotion.

That's how you ‘get’ what you focus on. This is important to understand because you can never be successful if you focus on what you don’t want or fear will happen.

When people focus on what they fear, they unconsciously create what they don't want on an individual, local, national and global scale. This fuels more fear - - and the cycle of “Negative Manifestation” continues.

Please pause for a minute and think about this.

It’s critically important for you to understand that your THOUGHTS are the ‘cause’, and your LIFE is the ‘effect’.

Yet almost everyone gets worried or fearful based on the ‘effects’, and that's how their fears become the ‘cause’ for more negative things to manifest.

The answer is to monitor your thoughts. Specifically, I suggest you do the following:

Keep a Positive Mental Focus – No matter what!

Want to know how you can eliminate an enormous amount of fear in your life? It’s very simple. Stop watching TV and reading the newspaper.

The media is a contrived industry that profits off making you worried, fearful, scared and anxious. The more THEY can get you into this state of mind - - the more YOU have to keep watching or reading to keep up with the latest events.

The more successful they are at keeping you coming back for more - - the more MONEY they get from advertisers who pander to the mindless audiences that are in this perpetual trance.

WAKE UP from the trance! Tune out. (Don't tune in.)

This one idea can eliminate an enormous amount of fear, stress and anxiety in your life. Stop watching TV and reading the newspapers. Instead, focus on the positive aspects of your life.

Let this be your motto – “No news is good news”. It works for me and has made a major change in my life and my ability to create what I desire.

Also, don't listen to others who are coming from fear and living in negativity. If you do, you are using YOUR creative powers to help THEM manifest what they fear.

Keep your focus at a pure level. The minute you allow a competing desire (such as a fear) to have power, at a ‘minimum’ that delays or throws your conscious desire or true intention off course. More than likely, it will cancel it out.

You can think of this like launching a rocket. Let’s call it your “Rocket of Desire”. The launching power is feeling excited about having what you want.

However, if after you launch your Rocket of Desire you say, "But I am not sure I can do this” or “I am not sure will this will work out”, you've taken your rocket that was moving with great speed toward your goal and you've cut back the power. The end result is your rocket went from soaring towards your goal to crashing into the ground.

That's how your worries and fears push away the things you want.

If you unconsciously send up other rockets based on your fears, you're cutting the power you sent to your Rocket of Desire.

You can launch your rocket so it flies faster and higher, and has more impact if you eliminate as much worry and fear as possible from your life. Instead of fear and worry, keep your focus only on experiencing your desires coming to you quickly and easily.

It is very simple – the more you focus on the things you want, the more of those things you manifest in your life.

If you want to create more of the things you desire, easily and effortlessly take a moment to review my “Secret of Deliberate Creation” training program. Nothing works faster and produces better results. That’s a promise!

If I Only Had A Brain

I just stumbled across this article by Dave Cole of ChooseToProsper and I thought it was such a great little lesson, example and analogy of self-limiting beliefs.

If I Only Had A Brain...

 
In the 1939 classic movie, The Wizard of Oz, we pick up the story as Dorothy Gale comes to a cross roads in the Yellow Brick Road.

Hanging upon a pole is a scarecrow, and a talking scarecrow nonetheless.

As the Scarecrow and Dorothy get to know each other, the Scarecrow goes into a song titled, "If I Only Had A Brain."
 
Oh, what wonderful things the Scarecrow could do......If He Only Had........
 
Now let's think about this for a minute. Here we have a talking scarecrow, and if you will notice, throughout the movie, the Scarecrow seems to be the one making a good many of the wise decisions for Dorothy and her band of travelers.
 
But sometime in his past, he had been "programmed" by the Munchkin farmer to believe the Scarecrow was so dumb, he couldn't even scare crows away.
 
Near the movies end, the Wizard of Oz presents the Scarecrow with a diploma. Immediately the
Scarecrow spouts off some incredible mathematical formula proving to Dorothy and his friends, that he now has a brain.
 
While we know that a piece of paper with some fancy writing on it does not automatically give us any kind of intelligence, what really did happen was that the Scarecrow now - BELIEVED - he had a brain.
 

He had a voice of authority tell him so!
 

All the old programming from the   Munchkin farmer was no longer effective.
 
The Scarecrow had now transcended his - OLD IMAGE OF HIMSELF - and discovered what was already there. He just hadn't realized how very intelligent he really...... really was to begin with.

Now on the first day of this new year, I'm asking you to discover something about yourself. What Image have you painted for yourself?
 
  Who are you really?
 
  Is what you have become......who you really want yourself to be?
 
  Do you go around singing, "If I Only"........
 
  Had the money
  Had the time
  Was younger
  Was older
  Knew more people
  Had more experience
  Was smarter
  Had more people to like me
  Didn't have obligations
 
You fill in the blanks.
 
What have you programmed yourself to believe about yourself?
 
You see, the Scarecrow - Wanted So Badly - to have a brain, but - All Along - he had the intelligence - In Him - to begin with.
 
He finally became intelligent, when he Stopped Wanting.....and   Started Believing He Was Intelligent!
 
 
The secret is not in Want-ing! The secret is in BE-ing!!
 
 
One of the great commercials on TV says it all, "BE All That You Can Be."
 
Is it time in your life to stop want-ing and start BE-ing the person you really want to be?
 
Just as the Scarecrow, You already have whatever you need to become that person inside yourself. Have you been Programmed sometime in your past to believe you are not worthy of being that new person?
 

Are you, like the Scarecrow, operating under false assumptions?
 
If so, simply re-program yourself and like the Scarecrow quit singing "If I Only"..... and start SEEING yourself as the person you want to BE!
 
The solution to all the Scarecrow's wants was there all the time, but wanting it didn't make it happen, and wanting it will not make it happen for you either.
 
Upon presentation of a piece of paper, the Scarecrow - Chose To Be - intelligent. All the old programming was washed from his consciousness and he now went from want-ing .....to BE-ing.
 

Prosperity Is A Choice!
 
Choose prosperity for yourself. Release those old images of yourself. BE the kind of person you want to be.
 
The hidden success secret is discovered by each of us in that moment when we realize that ....... We already have the power within us to choose a different reality.

Vibrational Push-Ups

I recently wrote a post titled "Impossible vs. Unbelievable" and my main point was how sometimes our desires are hard for us to manifest because we simply don't believe that they can happen to us.

Today I received yet another great piece of material from Anisa Aven's Manifesting Abundance Newsletter that gives a tool for the process of increasing your believeablitly factor.  It's a little lenghty but it's such fantastic information:

How to vibrate in harmony with the object of your desire, using EFT and Creative Visualization - The Vibrational Push-ups!

It's essential to recognize that anytime we don't have what we want, it's because at this time we are simply not a vibrational match. However, we don't have to settle or be disappointed. We can use EFT with the Law of Attraction to take action; we can increase our level of belief, decrease our doubts and fears and learn to systematically and intentionally vibrate in harmony with the 'object' of our desire.

Fortunately, our scientific world is catching up to the metaphysical view that all things are comprised of energy.

We are finally receiving unarguable confirmation that the lessons that our mystic masters tried to share with us about our thoughts being energetic is 100% verifiable.

If you've read The Field by Lynn McTaggart, then you can sit down and talk shop with any Science master around about how we can absolutely influence our reality with our thoughts. In fact, we do every day and according to many, many studies now being performed and duplicated by prominent Universities around the world we ought not have any doubts of our own about how powerful our mind can be once harnessed.

Just citing one example, if our thoughts don't create our reality and do not emphatically influence our every day existence, then how do we explain the Placebo Effect?

Did you know that in a recent study of antidepressants the analysts concluded that as much as 50% of the positive benefits of the drug were due to the placebo effect; the belief or suggestion that the patient will feel better was enough to actually inspire 'feeling better'.

The case I'm hoping to make is to convince you to believe in the power of your mind. However, claiming that you believe in your ability to influence your reality with your thoughts is very different than actually believing.

Let's face it; unless you are already living 100% of your dream life with the man/woman of your dreams, with prosperity coming out of your ears, health and energy overflowing, and passion and purpose exuding from every minute of every day, you're likely to be human enough to still have doubts about your 'manifesting' abilities in one or more areas of your life.

This is where the magic of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) comes in to save our vibration.

By using EFT to eliminate our doubts, we increase our level of conscious certainty as well as our level of subconscious believability.

If you want to use your mind to attract a mate, prosperity, passion, purpose, or health - you must achieve a vibration that is equivalent to these things. Two of the most powerful attractor vibrations are certainty and expectancy. You want to eliminate any and all doubts so that you feel certain and expectant.

Certainty and expectation vibrate as the energetic equivalent to what we want. When your thoughts and emotions are energetically aligned with what you want, it has to materialize. Like a radio tuned into the frequency of a rock station, when you tune into certainty, your desire will manifest.

Therefore, how can you use EFT to specifically increase your level of belief?

Try the following EFT and Law of Attraction exercise:

100 Vibrational Push-ups

To Summarize: You want to build your belief muscle with vibrational repetitions! Write down what you want in a very succinct, one sentence affirmation as if you already have it 100 times. After every entry, you will assess your level of 'belief'. With any level of belief less than 100% certainty, you will EFT the doubts before you write it down again. Repeating the process until you've written down your goal 100 times. You'll do this every day for a minimum of 30 days or until you can write it down 100 times in a row, 7 days in a row while still maintaining a positive vibrational level of 100% certainty, expectation, joy and peace.

The Vibrational Push-up breakdown:

1) Write down an affirmation for one specific goal that you know you want to create. You can be as specific as you desire or more generic like some of the following.

For example:

• I am so grateful to have the relationship I've always wanted with my Divine Love and soul mate.
• I am thankful to now have an excess of wealth! Lavish prosperity pours down upon me and I purchase anything I desire, when I desire it, in cash.
• I enjoy absolute health and wholeness. I am energetic and strong and my body is as young as a teenager.
• I look forward to getting up in the morning, knowing that the work I do is making a profound contribution to the planet and is the fulfillment of my life purpose. I am passionate and excited about my success.

2) After writing out your affirmation, close your eyes and tune into your feelings.

With 10 being 'I feel absolute certainty' and 1 being 'no way this will happen', rate your level of certainty and expectation.

How certain am I that this is true?

How much do I believe that this is already my experience and is happening now?

Trust your intuition, it will not mislead you.

3) If you are at a 10, then revel with delight by allowing yourself to rejoice and give thanks for this fulfillment. Enjoy that level of energetic power. Extend this moment for as long as possible - dance around, jump up and down, scream loudly and excitedly, wiggle your body and playfully allow yourself to celebrate, celebrate, celebrate!

Then, when you feel the energy waning, write your affirmation down again and repeat the process.

4) If you are at any level of certainty less than 10, use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to address the doubt that is keeping you from being a 10 and preventing you from feeling absolutely confident, faithful, joyous, peace-filled and certain.

For example:

If you want to manifest financial peace. Let's say you write, "I am so grateful to easily afford anything I desire when I desire it. I pay cash upfront and in advance for anything I want, need, or desire easily and immediately."

You ask yourself, "on a scale of 1-10 how certain am I that this is true?"

You close your eyes and you sense the doubts and rate your belief at a 4.

5) Now, you want to EFT those doubts. However, before you can eliminate them with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) you have to get clear and specific about what the doubts are. You might write down:

• How can I expect to pay for anything I want, when I want it, when I'm barely making ends meet as it is?
• No one I know pays for what they want, when they want it in cash.
• I'd love to throw caution to the wind but if I buy anything I want when I want it, I'll go broke.
• I can't buy anything I want - I'll end up more in debt and I'll never get out of it.
• I'm too in debt to think about spending. This is irresponsible.
• This can't happen for me. I can never make enough money to do all the things I want.
• Whatever I get, it'll never be enough.

EFT using the exact thoughts that came up during your journaling process..

Even though I can't expect to ever have enough money to buy anything I want, when I want it in cash, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Round 1 - Reminder Phrase: I can't buy anything I want and will never be able to.

Round 2 - Positive Implant: What if I could purchase anything I desire, when I desire it?

6) Then, when you've exhausted your EFT list and you feel neutral about each of these doubts. Write down your affirmation again, fresh. Repeat the process until you've completed 100 vibrational pushups!

Do this every day for 30 days, starting from scratch each time you write your affirmation or until you've written the affirmation 100 times in a row for 7 days in a row at a level of 10 - absolute certainty and expectation.

Give this exercise a sincere effort. You'll be amazed at how much you can clear and release during this process and again, when you become a vibrational match to the fulfillment of your dreams - they must materialize. The only thing you'll have to do is take inspired action and prepare to recieve. This exercise makes this possible for you.
