Attraction

People who tend to make excuses for their poor relationships keep justifying them by saying opposites attract. This way, they justify the miserable relationship they are currently in. Nothing is further from the truth. Opposites do not attract. Take two magnets put them together. Positives will always attract positives and negatives will always attract negatives. Poor relationships are always the result of negative thinking individuals getting together. You see it on TV and in the movies where the girl says, “I can’t understand how all these dead beats find a way to my door?” The reason is because she sends out a beacon that says, “ I really don’t like myself, so I will settle for anything.” The guy who goes after women like this in a sense says, “ I can get away with anything with a girl like this so why shouldn’t I?”
You will attract the kind of person that is a perfect match for you. So, if your relationships never seem to work out, you only have yourself to blame. The basis of all workable relationships is love and happiness and that means it’s up to you.
You must love God and love yourself before you can really love another human being. You also have to make up your mind that only you can make you happy. Once you commit yourself to matching up and be a part of a loving universe, then providence moves too, and unforeseen prosperity comes your way. The right people will arrive to assist you in every aspect of your life. Those who would support you in your career appear. The right person who will help you create your perfect home life, all of the sudden will pop up out of nowhere. If it’s money you are looking for the right financing magically appears. People with the same interest you have suddenly are everywhere. Your soul mate appears out of the crowd, a chance meeting, a missed taxi, a turn down the wrong street, nothing happens by accident.
There is no such thing as a coincidence. Coincidence is a mathematical term “coincide,” meaning when two angles come together they fit perfectly. You will have to let go of any resistance to your ability to attract the right people or you won’t recognize them when they show up.
Be aware the right people are looking for you and they won’t recognize you if you’re buried under a cloud of self-pity, loneliness, or a constant complainer. In fishing, you have to use the right bait. The right bait for you is love and happiness.

Today’s Exercise: Look for a coincidence as a sign.
Today’s Affirmation: I am enthusiastic and confident.
Points to Ponder: Once you commit yourself to matching up and be part of a loving Universe, then providence moves too, and unforeseen prosperity comes your way.

Shame

Shame is another cause for highly stressed people. In East Indian and Native cultures banishment was the worst kind of shame that could be administered. Those that were banished usually died in a very short while. In today’s society it’s a little more subtle yet just as effective.
Look at a high school student who may not be accepted with the “in crowd” because they are too smart or too dumb. Maybe their clothes do not represent the latest fad. Look at the country club that bars a person because of their religion or color. How about the church that doesn’t allow gay couples or the military that doesn’t allow high school drop outs. Banishment is a way of life for those who don’t fit into a particular mold.
Shame in my opinion, is the cause behind the concept of Hell, damnation and punishment. People who suffer from severe cases of shame need to accept the love of God. God loves you no matter what or who you are. God made you perfect, the shame you feel is really a lack of love for yourself. Once you love God, yourself and everything that God created then you will know peace and all stress will be eliminated.

Today’s Exercise: Never, never, never, make fun of anyone.
Today’s Affirmation: I am a calm, peaceful and patient person.
Points to Ponder: Shame in my opinion is the cause behind the concept of Hell.

Spiritual Prayers

This is how a spiritual person should pray.

I am successful.
I am calm, peaceful and patient.
I am loved because I love.
I am kind.
I am healthy. I eat right and exercise every day.
I am smoke free or alcohol free.
I am perfect. God made me.
I am a good parent.
I am a good spouse.
I am always on time.
I am a successful (insert your own word.).
I am a great teacher.
I am a good learner.
I am at the perfect weight for me.
I love my (insert your own word.).

Today’s Exercise: Pick one, say it every morning for twenty-one days.
Today’s Affirmation: The kingdom of God is within me.
Points to Ponder: I am whatever I say I am.

Love Is Good

An immature person says I love because I am loved. A mature person says I am loved because I love.
Look at the headlines in any newspaper. The headlines are appalling. Hundreds of people are killed and maimed every day in wars, and for what? The insurgents are claiming that they are doing this in the name of God. How wrong can they be! Most spiritual belief systems say, “In the beginning God created everything that was good.” Killing is not good so they can’t claim they are killing in the name of God.
The question is what can we do about it? More killing is certainly not the universal answer. Complaining and getting all stressed out is not going to change anything. The answer is what a mature person says, “I am loved because I love.” You as an individual can do something about it right now. You can show love and kindness to the very next person you come in contact with. Start with a smile and friendly Hello. If you see a co-worker struggling with something, help them out. On the way home, if you see a homeless person on the street corner with a cardboard sign, stop; give him a dollar or at least a quarter. Here is what will happen.
Every time you do an act of kindness and Love, the person doing the act will feel good. The person receiving the act will feel good and everyone in the immediate vicinity will feel good. Every act of love and kindness will spur two other acts of Love and kindness and it will be like the wave at a football stadium. Pretty soon, the whole world will feel good.
To feel good is to feel God. Then, the killing will stop. “If you change the way you pray, the results of your prayers will change.”

Today’s Exercise: Be mature person who says I am loved because I love and love is good.
Today’s Affirmation: I am loved, because I love..
Points to Ponder: World peace starts with you.

God Loves You

How Will You Act when You Are Successful?

Want to be successful? Well act that way right now. If you think success and act successful, before you know it you will be successful. I asked my sales force if they thought they could earn one hundred thousand dollars a year. As a person, they said yes. Then I asked them if they were earning one hundred thousand dollars a year would they come to work dressed the way they were. Sheepishly they said nothing, but the next day every one of them improved their dress code.
I then asked them to raise their hand if they were driving the car of their dreams. No one put a hand up. I told them to go to the car dealer of their choice, sit in the car, smell the leather, get a brochure, and negotiate the price of the car, as if they were going to purchase it that day. The next day, they were all excited. There were new car brochures on every desk.
Then, I proceeded to break it down into sales activity so they could understand the amount of additional sales they needed to afford the monthly lease payment. In most cases, it came to less than four extra sales per month, or one per week.
Then, I asked them to picture the car sitting in their driveway. The system is now in place. Most of them will be driving brand new Lexus’, Infinitis, Mercedes’, etc. within the next three months. Piece of cake.
The attitude in the room was high. People were excited and they then knew that not only was it possible, but well within reach without anything drastic happening.
You can do this with everything, home, car, vacation, etc. You just have to believe. As Tug McGraw of the NY Mets once said, “You gotta believe.” Open the channel to God’s help, and then act as though you already possess what you want.

Today’s Exercise: Go to the car dealer and get your brochure. Take a camera with you. Have someone take your picture with you sitting in the car.
Today’s Affirmation: My Subconscious Mind will make into reality whatever I ask of it.
Points to Ponder: Do you want to be successful? Well, then, act that way right now. Fake it until you make it.

Change

In quantum physics, at the tiniest subatomic level, the actual act of observing a particle changes the particle.
Wow… You can change things by looking at them with a different outcome in mind? If you want more money in your life, then you cannot see money as something you don’t have.
I remember quite clearly about ten years ago, I would question, “How come money never sticks to my hands?” What do you think the message was that I was sending to my Subconscious Mind? Yeah, it was that money never sticks to my hands. Ten years ago, I was dead broke, frustrated, and confused. Then one day I heard a voice in my head say, “That’s stupid. You are broke, but you are not dead. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something.” And I did.
I started my debt management company, CRS with absolutely no money, no experience in debt management, and no idea how I was going to make it. But, I did have two things going for me: I had persistence and a wife who believed in me. I had something else but I didn’t know it at the time – my view of money. I changed the way I looked at money. I understood that money was just paper and there was paper all around me, and that prosperity was there waiting for me. It finally dawned on me, that the only people who make money are those who work in a mint. Money is a medium of exchange for service. I had to find a need.
I looked around I saw that just about everyone that I knew was up to their you-know-what in credit card debt. So, what I chose to do was help people get out of debt. Within the past ten years, we have helped over thirty thousand families get out from underneath this debt.
If just one person is living a better life, because I changed the way I looked at things, then my life means something. Do yourself a favor and change the way you see the world and your world will change.

Today’s Exercise: Stop worrying about money for twenty-four hours.
Today’s Affirmation: I attract success and happiness into my life every day.
Points to Ponder: In quantum physics, at the smallest subatomic level, the actual act of observing a particle changes the particle.

Siamese Twins

Success and happiness go together like Siamese twins. Where one is, the other should be. Unfortunately, many people can’t seem to get them together. The reason is that they go for success first and figure that their success will automatically make them happy. The truth is you start with happiness and that will lead to success.
Why happiness first? Because happiness is a condition that you decide on ahead of time. Happiness is simply a predetermined decision. Once you are happy with your life as it is, then you can go forward to be successful in all facets of your life. Most people look at the hole and not the donut. We all have something to be happy about no matter what our status is in life. Happiness is the easiest condition to accomplish. You just say, “I am happy,” and say it enough and you will start to believe it. Remember the law, your Subconscious Mind will create into reality whatever command you give it.
Choose a word to answer people when they ask you how you’re doing or how’s things. I use two when they ask me how I am doing. I automatically say, “Fantastic.” I now have people answering me back the same way. If they ask me how it is going or how’s business, I always answer, “Unbelievable.” It catches them off guard. Most people are not use to that kind of response. They are expecting okay or good. After a while, it gets to be a game to see how many people you can literally wake up.

Today’s Exercise: Make “fantastic” and “unbelievable” part of your daily vocabulary.
Today’s Affirmation: I am as happy as I make up my mind to be.
Points to Ponder: Once you are happy with your life as it is, then you can go forward to be successful in all facets of your life.
