Movie producer Michael Todd once said, “Being broke is temporary; being poor is a state of mind.” So it is with opportunity. Whether you see opportunities or limitations is entirely within your control. How you view the world is a reflection of your mental attitude. If you focus on your inadequacies, you will be plagued by fear, doubt, and failure, but when you focus on your strengths, you will find courage, confidence, and success. Self-confidence can replace self-doubt only by deliberate, planned effort. When you start to doubt your capabilities, pause to review your previous accomplishments. Identify every experience that might be helpful to you in your present situation. When you apply the knowledge and wisdom you have accumulated, there are few limitations that you cannot overcome.
from prior post:
“Being broke is temporary; being poor is a state of mind.”
Recently I have been discussing visualization with an on-line friend.
I reviewed some of this thread and there was the Andy Dooley Vortex visualization (dollars floating down from the sky). As the beginning of the visualization he comments - it is the feeling that abundance will give you that you are after - security, freedom etc. And in another he says "It is feeling first, and then actualization second."
In several videos on-line self-help gurus say: "If a wealthy person loses his wealth he can soon regain it for he has the wealth consciousness needed to create it."
Several millionaires went broke a few times on their way to great fortunes.
In a recent Arnold video he speaks of the building of self-confidence. A little trophy, a little success, can help build one to a bigger success and greater confidence.
Confidence in one's abilities, in one's strengths, in oneself, are in part building the feeling of success and so in practicing the feeling of abundance in our minds with are building our confidence in our ability to create that for ourselves.
This is why visualizations around the target, or final visualization are helpful.
Little exercises - either recalling a past example or creating a new one - that invoke the feeling are helpful.
next.. Examples of "small" visualizations to practice the feeling
You are skiing down a mountain slope. The day is perfect, sunny and not too cold.
The hill is in great conditions, freshly groomed, a light coating of power and not icy.
You are in the zone and skiing without effort, gliding, carving timing great turns - gilding to the end tossing a spray of snow and skiing straight into the chair - for there are no line-ups!
Abundance
Morey has been tight but a big paycheck has come in. You've been on a diet of day-old bread and endless second cups of coffee at Smitty's. You haven't had a good meal in a week.
You order a 16oz Alberta T-bone steak, baked potatoes with sour cream and butter, veg the works. You polish off a couple of Zombies and order apple pie with ice cream for dessert. You devour you meal - everything is delicious!.
You order a Grand Marnier and coffee loosen your belt a notch and savour the full feeling of the best meal you've every had!
Safety and Security
You are on a small, beautiful pristine lake ringed by wooded mountains in your little sailing dingy. It is a beautiful summer day, warm but not too hot with a soft breeze blowing. Lying back against the smooth varnished wood of the hull you hear the soothing beat of the wavelets against the boat. Above you puffy little white clouds float by against a beautiful blue sky. All is fine in your little world and you and nature are in perfect harmony.
For that feeling of abundance....I have read (perhaps from Leonard Orr) that it helps to always carry 3 or 4 (or so) $100 dollar bills around in your wallet.
Each of us has a finite amount of time, energy, and money; you must choose for yourself how you will spend them. If you elect to squander your resources by demeaning others in an attempt to advance your own interests, you will soon find that so much of your time and energy has been spent on gossip and slander that you have little time left for yourself. If you deal in malicious information, you’ll rarely be trusted. As the saying goes, “Those who talk about others to us will talk about us to others.”
It's good also to have your vision goal statement in your wallet
so each time you open it you not only see the bills you also see your vision goal statement
e.g.
"I am so happy and grateful that I now have $x million" - 1 January 2018
20. Imagining Creates Reality | The Secret of Causation
9;09
"if a person enters inot the image and is thinking from it, then he would know what it is to be creatively transformative.
Every image can be embodied, but unless man enters it and thinks from it it is incapable of birth.
That which requires imaginative occupacy to produce its effect, obiviously cannot produce its effect, without such occupancy.
We cannot be in one image and not suffer the consequences of not being in another."
----------
So if we are in the image of a failed trade we cannot be in the image of a successful trade. If we are thinking of a failed trade, re-living it in our memory, we are practising re-creating that failed trade (or missed trade). We must go back in our minds and re-create the trade as a successful trade, being in a living from the image of a successful trade. We must see ourselves executing the trade perfectly with all the sensory vividness we can generate. We must see what we would see, feel what we would feel, and say what we would say, over and over again
Change your mental attitude, and the world around you will change accordingly.
Your world will become what you choose to make it. You can reach great heights of success
When you choose a positive course, you set in motion an unstoppable force that will allow you to have a fulfilling career, the love of your family and friends, good physical and mental health, and all of the other true riches of life. To change your world, you must change it from the inside out. You must begin with yourself. When you choose the course that puts your life on a positive track, you will change your life for the better, and you will also positively influence the people with whom you come in contact.
This is by far the most powerful tool one can use on a daily basis to make something out of nothing, good out of bad, and riches out of poverty. Once you can live this, share in the same way.
