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.

Can You Be Both Happy and Wealthy at the Same Time?

It is rare, but there are some people who are both happy and wealthy. The rest of us have unconscious beliefs that we can't be happy, can't be wealthy or can't be both. Take a look at your life & question it:
Do you think of the wealthy as unhappy in life?Is it better to be poor and happy than wealthy?Are the poor really happy?Are the poor living their life purposes?Does God want you to be unhappy & poor?
In The Secret Code of Success, Noah St John refers to the "Three Percenters" as the world's most successful people.
He says they "have most of the wealth, happiness, joy, peace, health, and loving relationships- in other words, they have what we human beings want as we go through this journey called Life."
How does that make you feel? That a small group of people have it all, and we are struggling, working hard, and stuck in poverty?
This small percentage of people on earth realize they can be both happy & wealthy. And they do it without really knowing how they do it.
They work hard, but are happy and earning money. While the rest of us work hard, are unhappy and struggling to pay bills.
I admit I am in the 97% who is not both happy & wealthy. I realize I'm not both. I realize there are others who are both. And I realize if they can do it, then I can to. So I have been investing in a lot of personal development. I look for mentors who came from poverty and are on their way to the 3% or in the 3%. You can find people a little ahead of you and you can help people who are not yet where you are.
The key is you have to want to change and do the work. And the people you help need to also want to change and do the work.
Noah St John says that we "need to realize that it (wealth, health, happiness, joy, love, opportunity) is not actually held anywhere. No one can keep love, money, or opportunity away from you, any more than someone can stop you from reaching your full potential."
I think most of us are stuck in a learned victim state. It is what we learned, what our parents learned, what our ancestors learned. 97% of people learned this and pass it on.
To change it, we need to take responsibility for our beliefs and do the work to change them. Sometimes this isn't easy when most of the people you are around are in this victim state... and sabotage themselves and others around them to keep everyone in this 97% state.
I don't think people are aware of how they sabotage themselves and others. They may try to protect others from the big bad guys. They may think others are out to get them instead of helping them.
There are good and bad guys out there. Do you recognize the good?
Even the bad have good in them. They have lost their way in their life pain & purposes and are using for bad instead of good.
We all have pain from childhood & life. We can use that for good. It is usually what we need to heal in our lives that we are meant to help others with.
According to Noah St. John, There are stages we go through:
You don't know what you don't know. You know that you don't know. You know that you know. You do it without conscious thought
We breathe without thinking about it. We do it without conscious thought. So we can be happy and wealthy like the 3% without thinking about it. But it takes work and action to change our unconscious beliefs. By changing these beliefs we will take different actions. And therefore we will have different results.

Learn How Wealthy Seeds Grow Experience

What is wealth to you? The answer you give to this question will reveal the focus of your desire. One could say prosperity and another say affluence or fortune. Wealth, in its many forms, must be planted as seeds into the fertile subconscious for it to manifest as fruits in your life.

HOW DO YOU PLANT WEALTH SEEDS IN YOUR LIFE?

I have compiled a list of ways to plant seeds of wealth into your subconscious mind. This list consists of techniques that have proven to be successful in achieving experiences of wealth and abundance in the lives of the contributors of the techniques.

1. BELIEF

What you believe about wealth will manifest in your life. If you believe you can possess it, you will. And if you don't, you won't. It is really that simple.

A more complex explanation is the subconscious mind works to produce experiences that are created from belief systems. It will provide wealth possessing opportunities for the belief that wealth can be possessed. Likewise, it will provide experiences of wealth out-of-reach for matching beliefs.

You are in control of your beliefs. Past situations and experiences played a significant role in creating the system of beliefs you now hold. At any time you wish, you can make necessary adjustments. Fine tune your beliefs with the love you were created from. Positive beliefs lead to positive experiences.

2. AFFIRMATIONS

It is a fact that human life challenges individual beliefs causing opportunity for doubt and fear. These two delinquents will rob and destroy dreams. Doubt will question possibility and fear will veil truth. Affirmations are excellent ways to not only maintain focus but they serve as defense for dream thieves and act like fertilizer for the subconscious.

Announcements made to the universe inform source of creation the intentions in desire. Why do YOU desire wealth? What is the actual experience you expect? Your answer can be transformed into affirmations.

Examples of wealth affirmations.

"I have more than enough money at ALL times."
"As I spend money, I receive money."
"Money flows through my life like a river."
"I enjoy having more than enough money."
"I can purchase anything I desire no matter the price tag."

3. WEALTHY ACTIONS

Human beings act out belief. People who believe they will always have enough money in their lives tend to live their lives as though this is true. Let's stop here and think about this a moment. The monetary experiences these types of people have had do not write their future, automatically. One of them could for some reason take to the belief that their incoming revenues will soon stop thereby creating an entirely different future manifestation from the others.

What do you think happens when people act out belief that they lack enough money? We all know at least one person who could represent this model of living. How does it make you feel to be around this person?

Wealthy actions set in motion a wave of wealthy actions. Giving little thought to it we mimic actions and beliefs of those around us. The wealthy society tends to mingle with like minds because of the law of attraction. As a unit they think and act wealthy out of similar beliefs creating a wave of energy that sets them apart from the rest of their peers.

If a person down on their luck because they are living out belief in lack approached you and asked for $100 to assist them would you be able to reach in your pocket, wallet, or purse and bless them with what they asked? When you fully understand the nature of wealth and have tapped into the current of currency you will focus less on the reason the person is asking YOU for money. You will know why... because YOU have it to give.

4. GIVING = RECEIVING

To give is to receive. Are there any questions? Of course there are. Typically when we think about giving, we examine what is in our current possession and assess that against the circumstances that propose we give. Then, we execute a decision on whether we give or not.

Receiving takes less thought process. Assuming a gift is absent of negative attachment, people are more likely to accept a gift than they are to give one; but you know the saying. "You reap what you sow."

5. NOW IS BEST

There is no better time than NOW to set desires in motion. I have heard people say they have to wait for this or that or until any given future time before taking step one of the journey towards a desired reality. Some of them I have been blessed to interact with and observe their absence of attempt over the course of several years. A few put forth a certain amount of effort towards achieving their desire only to abandon the goal eventually; not recognizing the attack of the well-known thieves doubt and fear.

One person said, "Maybe I'm not going to be the successful one of the family like everybody thought I would." This person has created drawings, exotic lettering, recorded songs, composed videos, took professional quality photographs and manually developed them, along with so much more. Why isn't this person experiencing desired wealth? That is a question that particular person will have to answer in order to move forward to the experience. The same applies to YOU.

NOW WHAT?

Planting wealth in YOUR life is a broad topic that could fill a million blogs. Ultimately, the experience will emerge from YOU putting your best foot forward in present life. Wealth seeds planted today will undoubtedly be the fruits of your tomorrow... which then will be your present. Gift yourself the wealth you feel you deserve.

HAPPY PLANTING!

What's the Difference - Wealthy and Average

What's the difference between the way an average person thinks and the way a wealthy person thinks?

That's the question!

That was the question that Tony Rush, a top earner in the online marketing profession, asked on a Monday night training call just a few weeks ago.

Of course he knew the answer to that question because he was average and now he's wealthy!

I said to myself "I got to hear this"! So I leaned forward, turned up the volume and grabbed a pen! This is what he laid out and he wasn't pulling any punches.

"Average people believe, Their lives are happening to them.

A wealthy person believes, They are happening to their lives!

An average person lets fear and past experience stop them.

A "wealthy" person moves forward in spite of fear!

An average person says, "How much does it cost"?

A wealthy person says, "How much can I make"?

An average person thinks, "I can't do it"!

A wealthy person thinks, "How can I do it"?

An average person works hard for their money,

A wealthy person uses leverage to increase their wealth!

An average person thinks either-or,

A wealthy person says, give me both!

An average person believes success is a matter of luck and hard work.

A wealthy person knows that success is a choice that you can make at anytime"!

So what's his point about how a wealthy person thinks?

What you believe or think, leads to your decisions, your decisions lead to your actions, and your actions lead to your results!

So here's the deal.

Most of us, if not all, at one time or another, have bought into the self-defeating belief that it's hard to make a lot of money! I can emphatically say that because I was one who used to buy into that lame excuse, at a premium price!

Don't hold me to exactly what Tony said; I'm just going to paraphrase him.

"The degree to which you've bought into the belief that making money is hard is the degree to which your living"!

In other words, if making money is hard to you, then it's hard; and you probably don't have a lot of it.

Why? Well, because we buy into the conventional thinking and we believe the negative things people say like, "Do you think money grows on trees"? This was one I heard a lot when I was a kid; FYI my Mom was sadly on welfare for all of my childhood!

Next. "I can't believe they would buy an expensive thing like that! Don't they know that children are starving in the world"?

"We may not have a lot of money but at least we love God and have each other"!

The inference is that wealthy people are not ethical and don't love God.

That kind of thinking has kept me broke for years.

Everyone has the choice to "push the reset button", as Tony Rush says, and start to think like a wealthy person and they also have the choice to continue being average and stay broke.
