Achieving Wealth, Your Thoughts Create Your Reality!

Yes, your thoughts create your reality! Every moment of every day, your THOUGHTS are creating your REALITY. Your thoughts are incredibly powerful! In the words of Jack Canfield: “You only have control over three things in your life, the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take.”

You have heard all about how to repeat Positive Affirmations, use Creative Visualization, how to create your Dream Board…you’ve heard it all, and may have tried it. But you shake your head and think, “Geez, that stuff didn’t work for me!”

Your Thoughts Dictate Your Outcome

Instead of thinking that these techniques didn’t work for you, perhaps you should be asking yourself WHY they didn’t work for you. Other people seemed to be successful in using them. Perhaps you watched the movie about The Law of Attraction, and a whole lot of people stated that their thoughts ATTRACTED their desires. So how come it didn’t work for you?

You may not want to hear this, but it’s time to face the truth. These techniques didn’t work for you because you DIDN’T BELIEVE they would work, and you weren’t prepared to CONSISTENTLY follow through. You fell into MDR – Minimum Daily Requirement.

You are a Child of God, a Spark of God’s Divine Love. God has created a system for His children to supply your every need, with wealth and abundance beyond anything you can imagine. So, to tap into this system, there are certain things that you must do HOURLY, DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY.

Negative Thoughts Bring Negative Results

I will never forget talking to a man who took one of my courses. And he was complaining that these techniques didn’t work.

So, I asked him if he wrote down some of his goals. He said, “Yup! Tried it and it didn’t work!”

And then I asked him if he had tried using Positive Affirmations. He said, “Yup! Tried it and it didn’t work!”

Did he try Creative Visualization to visualize his desires. He said, “Yup! Tried it and it didn’t work!”

Finally, I asked him if he could show me what he had written down for his goals and affirmations. He hemmed and hawed, looked down at his feet, hemmed and hawed some more and finally said, “Well, I didn’t exactly write them down, I just kinda thought about them.”

Now His Failure Made Sense

Aha. Now it made sense. I then asked him if he had set a daily schedule for performing these techniques. He said, “Well, I tried them yesterday around lunchtime, and nothing happened. These things just don’t work! Of course, I didn’t really expect them to.”

And you wonder why people don’t receive the desires of their heart! In the words of Buddha: “Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.”

Mr. MDR wasn’t really interested in putting in the time required to manifest his desires.

He didn’t consistently set aside the time daily to write out his goals, affirm them, and visualize them happening.
He decided after ONE DAY that the techniques didn’t work.
He didn’t really BELIEVE that they would work anyway.

Are You Prepared to Devote the Time to Achieve Your Wealth?

If you are prepared to devote one hour a day to achieving wealth…yes, that’s right, just one hour, 30 minutes in the morning, and 30 minutes before going to sleep, you will see wonderful results.

Also, coupled with your daily commitment, you must learn to temper your thoughts hourly and daily. I will continue repeating the truth that your THOUGHTS CREATE YOUR REALITY. Every thought, every single thought, is manifesting what you think.

Stop Panicking and Reacting!

Let’s say that you oversleep. When you realize this, you fly into a panic! You REACT! BOING! You jump out of bed and run to the bathroom to brush your teeth.

Oh no! The toothpaste tube is empty! Now you must look for a new tube!
And of course, you need a new bar of soap! You must go find one!
And then you put on a blouse or a shirt, and BOING, there’s a button missing! Now you must go change!
As you rush around going crazy, consumed with thoughts of being late, wouldn’t you know it, you can’t find your car keys! So, you frantically search for them, and that costs you another 10 minutes’ delay!

Learn to Discipline Your Thoughts

You REACTED, and as a result, you went from one crisis – BOING – to another crisis – BOING! My friends, there is a better way! The scenario I outlined above is EXACTLY how I used to react when I overslept. Now if I oversleep, I remain lying down for a moment and state, “I have MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME to get to work on time. Everything falls into place for me, and I move easily through this morning.”

After I repeat this statement, THEN I get out of bed. And guess what? My morning goes smoothly, and I arrive at work on time. Before I leave the house, I also THANK GOD that every traffic light is green, and I sail through them quickly. And 95% of the lights are green!

Disciplining yourself to perform certain daily actions will break you from your habit of REACTING. You will KNOW that you can move through every challenge easily and quickly, freeing you up to pursue your goal of Achieving the Wealth that you desire.

This Week’s Course of Action

When you wake up in the morning, lie in bed for 5 minutes. Breathe deeply and think of everything you are grateful for. Your healthy body, your friends and family, your precious animals, your home and car, your job…block out all negative thoughts.
Throughout the day, continue to give thanks for all your many blessings. It’s important to remember that THOUGHTS ATTRACT. When your thoughts are filled with gratitude, you ATTRACT more of what you are grateful for.
As you drift off to sleep, once again think of everything you are grateful for. Also, learn to FORGIVE yourself for the times your thoughts drifted into negativity and fear.
Hey! You are a Spiritual Being having a Human experience. You have just forgotten! You are ALLOWED to make mistakes; it’s part of your Soul Growth, so give yourself a break! You are so blessed!
