Creative and Rich - How Anticipation Creates Wealth

A wealthy person anticipates riches. Without anticipation you swim in a sea of uncertainty. With it, you participate in making your creative life a wealthy life.

A few days ago I decided to replace a person working for us who was chronically late.

Well, it?s done. Yesterday I hired someone who fulfills all the requirements of the job. And I?m thrilled about the change. It?s so gratifying to have someone who is eager and happy to learn and to help.

And guess what else I found. This person anticipates what needs to get done. What a great gift to be around someone who thinks ahead and does things without asking. That is key.

Anticipation and Participation go hand in hand. A Doer actively participates in every aspect of life. And the secret to full participation is to anticipate each new task by allowing it to appear in your mind.

This doesn?t mean that you don?t relax. In fact, the opposite is true. People in touch with the pulse of life have to be relaxed. Anticipation Is relaxing. Because you never have to look back and worry. You?ve silenced the worry-monger. You are marching towards your goal by anticipating each moment.

Always keep your goal in mind. This is key. The target of anticipation is your goal.

You have become an efficiency machine. Because you?re not wasting precious energy by procrastinating. Your mind, cleared of clutter, becomes a vessel for creative thinking. You are refreshed and rejuvenated, and you?re always looking forward, never back. You refuse to be on auto-pilot.

I don?t want to be on auto-anything. Those auto-pilot blinders cause the death of creativity. Beware and declare. Otherwise that sneaky auto-pilot might creep into your thoughts again. After all, you can get addicted to being a slave to the grave that you dig for yourself.

There?s no other way to live a life of wealth than to embrace what?s around the corner. By anticipating what?s needed. And participating to get the job done.

You have now conquered the fear that can whisper in your ear.

Anticipation leads to Creation and turns into Wealth. Just remember that order. You?re on your way to a life of prosperity and riches.

Now that I?ve gotten your attention, shift your gears and read something totally radical, totally out-of-the-box. I?ve got that something for you. And I bet you?ll be knocked off your feet as soon as you start inhaling these powerful words.

Creative Action Seven Tips to Financial Success

My sister loves lists. She says they keep her on track and trigger her memory. So, she asked me to make a list detailing what it took for me to reach the level of success I have.

Actually what she really wanted is to learn what it takes to stay committed and focused on a goal. Her goals seemed to blur and then disappear after initially burning as bright as the sun on a summer's day.

This is quite common. So don't fret.

But now forget that you were once a goal-setter-trasher. Go into unfamiliar territory and cast off those shackles of procrastination. Be fearless and eager to learn.

Let's start with the basics:

1. Turn off the TV. You won't change your life if you keep watching the world go by. So get off your couch, or bed, toss the remote, walk to your tube and press the OFF button. Better yet, put it behind closed doors. It's addictive. Seeing it might disturb your creativity. Now, I know you might feel deprived and suffer from withdrawal, but, when your life changes you'll get over it.

2. Go to a bookstore. If you don't have a good dictionary and thesaurus, Walk to your local bookstore and purchase these two indispensable items. While your browsing, check out the Biography section to read books written by people you wish to emulate. Equally as important, buy How To/Advice books on the subject your interested in.

3. Read. Back home on the couch, sans remote, read, read and read. Underline, highlight and take notes. Write down what you are learning.

4. Grab a pen and notepad. Now that it's quiet, start listening to your thoughts. Write. Write anything that comes to mind. Write about the life you want. Describe it in absolute detail. This should not be a hardship. Make it fun. Feel yourself living the life you always wanted. If you can't handle it, go back and start from the top.

5. Ask questions. Ask experts who have succeeded in what you want to do all the questions you have. Commit this Rudyard Kipling poem to memory: "Six honest serving men--they taught me all I know--their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who."

6. Start imagining a product you want to sell. Concentrate on what interests you. Write down anything that comes to mind. I think you?re getting an idea about how important writing is in this whole process.

7. Watch your thoughts and words. In order to maximize success, remember: the words you choose and use create your life's news.

The more creative fuel you emit towards your goal, the faster you'll reach it. Your financial success is directly related to the creative energy you choose to use. Money is energy. Not physical energy ? creative energy. I get some of my best ideas while in the shower. I bet you do to. Now take one of your ideas seriously. Carve out the time to get one project up and running.

Nobody succeeds without creative action. Now you can manifest the life you always wanted by applying the creativity that is inherently yours.

That is the power of Creative Action.

Wealthy and Creative - How to apply Gratitude and Attract Riches

This cozy long weekend always reinforces the beauty of giving thanks. I have a lot to be thankful for.

Writing to all of you has been a great source of joy. I love hearing from you and connecting with you on a daily basis. It is a wonderful way for me to begin creating my day. Thank you.

One of my favorite writers, Wallace D. Wattles, has some fabulous reasons as to why gratitude is a key ingredient for success.

As creative beings we realize that All things are born out of a creative force. This unseen creativity is immense and powerful. It is energy made manifest. Money also is energy made manifest. The more energy you express creatively, the more comes into your world in the form of riches, or money.

Wattles writes, ?If it is a new thought to you that gratitude brings your whole mind into closer harmony with the creative energies of the universe, consider it well, and you will see that it is true.

?The good things you already have, have come to you along the line of obedience to certain laws. Gratitude will lead your mind out along the ways by which things come; and it will keep you in close harmony with creative thought and prevent you from falling into competitive thought.?

Being competitive wipes out any sparks of creativity. Being grateful instantaneously attracts a movement of blessings towards you. ?The law of gratitude is the natural principle that action and reaction are equal, and in opposite directions.

?But the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the future. Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are.?

He is saying that if you feel dissatisfied, switch gears, then find something, anything that you are grateful for. This alone transforms the unproductive energy of dissatisfaction into the wealth-producing energy of appreciation.

?It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you; and to give thanks continuously.?

And this next bit is really important. ?And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.?

Wow. What does this mean?

Well, take this moment to reflect on all that has happened to you. If you really look closely, every event has formed you into the beautiful, creative being you are today. So don?t look back in judgment. Give thanks even to those who you may have previously felt don?t deserve it.

You see, a judgmental world is a sad, depressive world. A world of gratitude is a joyous, peaceful, infinitely creative world. Only you can choose which world fits your needs.

Just remember. What you want wants you too. And being thankful for even the smallest event triggers a joyful creative force that may otherwise lay dormant forever. This creative force manifests into wealth thus allowing you, the creator, the freedom and joy to be all you can be.
