Making Choices…

Dear Friend,

The more I read — both inspirational books, “how-to” books and uplifting books,  (yes, those have been my mental “diet” for awhile), the more I realize the power of our own thoughts.

Today, I’d like to quote directly from Rebecca, at www.theScienceofGettingRich.net.  The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles is a classic in the world of wealth creation and inspiration.  If you want a free copy, I’ve attached it for you. 

Rebecca’s words are so powerful.  For some reason, it seems so easy to fall into patterns of lack… That’s why it’s extremely important to listen to our inner thoughts… and focus on being positive.  Rebecca is offering an online course through the Science of Getting Rich where YOU determine your own tuition.  Isn’t that great? 

Here she is… 

“I’m convinced that your commitment to transforming your own thinking and your own life will contribute to transforming our whole world. All the world’s great wisdom traditions, great religions, and our greatest philosophies acknowledge that our reality begins in our thinking.

• What if we actually BELIEVED that for a change?
• What if we actually decided to ACT on that?
• What if we really believed in and PRACTICED — in thought and action — what Mr. Wattles calls “the right motive, which is more life to ALL and less to NONE?”
• What if we individually and collectively put our minds and hearts and hands to the test Mr. Wattles invites us to prove?
• What if, in that process of bringing our own individual hearts’ desires into form in our own lives, we began to radiate “the impression of increase” out to all the world so that others all around us begin to “catch the vision,” too?

My friend, what do we have to lose by giving it a shot?

I’ll tell you: Nothing but poverty thinking and the overwhelming global belief in scarcity and lack, nothing but the physical manifestations of that thinking in our lives and in our world. Change has to start somewhere and it starts INSIDE — with me, with you.

What if we dared to create a vision that big? Are you willing?”

P.S.  Here’s what the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles states:

“Guard your speech. Never speak of yourself, your affairs, or of anything else in a discouraged or discouraging way.

Never admit the possibility of failure or speak in a way that infers failure as a possibility.

“Never speak of the times as being hard or of business conditions as being doubtful. Times may be hard and business doubtful for those who are on the competitive plane, but they can never be so for you. You can create what you want, and you are above fear.

“When others are having hard times and poor business, YOU will find your greatest opportunities!” [Emphasis added by me — because it’s TRUE. And true about YOU!)

Dear Friends:

It’s hard to believe, but another year… a new decade has just rolled in front of our eyes — 2010.  Where did the time fly?

As part of my new year’s resolutions, I’ve been working on my inner growth.  Just as the bamboo plant must be watered for seven years before it finally sprouts up and becomes a glorious wonder, so too must I work on my inner self to grow.   It’s not always easy.  But consistency is the key. 

I’ve been re-listening to the wisdom of my esteemed teleseminarian teacher, Alex Mandossian (www.profitableteleseminars.com).  I admire Alex’s talent so much.  Alex reads and re-reads regularly, and even said that you need to re-read to get the most from each book.  Alex regularly quotes from the great sages, and I appreciate this quote by Aristotle…  ”We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, the, is not an act, but a habit.” 

That quote has been ruminating inside my mind for awhile.   To attain excellence, I’ve also been doing a fair share of reading.  I’ve especially enjoyed learning from some of today’s great leaders — Loral Langemeier (”The Millionaire Maker”), Esther  & Jerry Hicks (”Ask and It Is Given”), Karim Ismail (”Keep Any Promise”) and Steve Taubman (”Unhypnosis”), along with many “classics” like Napolean Hill’s “Think & Grow Rich” and Wallace Wattles’, “The Science Of Getting Rich.”

Repeating daily affirmations is also a great tip to help implant a positive mindset every day.  Happiness, as I’ve learned, is a choice.  We choose our thoughts, and that’s what becomes our emotional state. 

So, I’m going to keep focused on choosing positive thoughts.  ”Every day, in every way, I’m growing stronger… My life is filled with abundance…. I’m grateful for the blessings that fill my life.”  

Happy 2010!
