How , The Simple Secret To Wealth I The Struggle:
Now some of you may say "hey, there is no easy way to get rich" but I disagree and let me tell you why. First of all I would encourage you to watch a movie called "The Secret". It is truly an eye-opening experience and what I am going to share with you here is just a small part of it. The film covers a lot of different aspects but the plot can be stated in very simple words.
Thoughts become things.
This means that whatever you focus on will come true for you. The key is to anticipate the future. Feel like it's already happened. I'm not saying it's easy to do but if you can manage to do it, the result will be absolutely phenomenal. If you want abundance and you see abundance clearly coming your way, then that is the abundance you will get.
Foreseeing and sensing the future is not something people usually do and that is why people often live the lives they live – without abundance. If you spend some time listening to personal development coaches or you're attending seminars or reading books, you'll find that everything happens in your head. All external things are created by how you picture them in your mind.
This may seem strange to you at first and I remember it being so far from the reality I knew but as I learned more and more it started to make sense. Have you ever misinterpreted another person's intentions? Have you ever reacted in a certain way in response to someone's intentions? You may have felt angry or hurt, but in fact the person didn't mean it and the feeling you had was It was caused by your own interpretation and not by the actual person's actions.
You can control your mind and you can decide how you feel about everything that happens. You may decide to focus on all the bad and negative things and in turn feel bad and negative about them all. Or you can decide to look for all the positive things that happen in everything and by focusing on the positive and good things you change your mood to be positive and good.
As I said at the beginning, this is only a small part of the "ideas become things" philosophy and there is much more to learn. The Law of Attraction can be an extremely powerful force if you know how to use and apply it. Watch the movie The Secret or read the book. It is worth it.
What do butterflies have in common with the human soul? Meet Maggie, a middle-aged wife and mother who was about to find out.
Maggie was not rich in a millionaire or poor way of being homeless. She was living an average comfortable life. It was made even better when a beautiful girl came his way. She and her husband made sure their daughter's needs were met and were still able to take an annual beach vacation.
Maggie was a partner in her husband's business. They both had separate sets of duties that kept everything in balance. One day her husband's business suffered a devastating blow, and within three years the business was out of business. Her husband had to completely reinvent himself and was desperate to fulfill a dream with a new profession. She was happy for him and supported him wholeheartedly but still the money was not coming.
Maggie began to feel guilty that she was not contributing any income. It had been a long time since he had worked outside the home and had to work for someone else. Needless to say, she was scared but still confident that everything would be fine. He began looking for a job and found filling out the applications somewhat difficult, especially the part that asked for job references. It should be noted that she was self-employed with her husband for almost 20 years. It felt like he didn't count because he was never called for an interview.
While she was looking for a job, her mother became very ill and was hospitalized for a week. Once Maggie's mother returned home, she became her mother's helper one day a week. She did the shopping, changed sheets, vacuumed and did other things that her mother was no longer able to do. Of course his mother would pay him for his time and labor but he still felt he needed to find another source of income.
One of the first applications he filled out finally arrived. She passed the interview with flying colors and was told she was "exactly what" they were looking for. Even though it was only part time it was exactly what she wanted. When her daughter got home from school, she needed to be home. He was told that he would be in touch when the schedule was ready. Knowing he had work made him feel satisfied and productive again.
Within a few weeks, though, she received an email saying the company had changed the job to a full-time position and she wasn't eligible. Maggie was devastated. He felt betrayed and felt lied to. She was alone that evening as her husband and daughter had gone out for the night. She welcomed solitude and wanted to drown her sorrows in a hot tub of bubbles.
As she knew she would, she began to cry, at first just from the sheer pain of being rejected. A long struggle of three years finally caught up with him. Then she got angry. Anger at everything that got him there, up to God himself. She cried harder and screamed, "What do you want me to do?" He truly felt that God had forsaken him.
When she couldn't cry anymore, she got tired and gave up. It was at that moment that he got a quiet idea to help other elderly people with home care.
Using another knack for computers, he printed some flyers and cards and distributed them at his church, grocery stores, and even placed a small ad in the newspaper. Within a week he had acquired two new clients.
Now, even though she is not a CEO or power player of a big company, she feels happy and productive again. So, did God really abandon him? Let's look to nature for lessons and answers.
Before a butterfly can get out of its chrysalis, it has to go through a lot of struggle. Yes, struggle. Each time it flies out to escape, acid is expelled from its wings. If someone comes along and breaks open the chrysalis for it, the butterfly will die from these acids. In fact, struggle is necessary for a butterfly to survive. Then in silence, when the struggle is over, the butterfly can emerge and share its beauty with the world.
We as humans are no different. There are times when we need to struggle, to rid ourselves of the acids that create sadness, fear, and anger. It is only when we are tired and still we begin to hear the whispers of the universe.
