You Can’t Get Something For Nothing

You Can’t Get Something For Nothing

I agree with Emerson that it is time the law of compensation was emphasized as life’s basic law. I like to think of this basic law of prosperity as radiation and attraction: that what you radiate outward in your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures and words, you attract into your life and affairs. But you cannot get something for nothing.

The reason why there is still poverty in this universe of lavish abundance is that many people still do not understand this basic law of life; they do not yet realize that they must radiate in order to attract, and that what they do radiate they constantly attract. Most people today still have to learn that they cannot get something for nothing, but must give before receiving or must sow before reaping. When they do not give or sow in terms of prosperity, they make no contact with God’s lavish abundance, and so there is no channel formed through which the rich, unlimited substance of the universe can pour forth its riches to them.

The truth of this was recently brought to my attention when I had contact with some people in a poverty stricken area. I soon discovered that these people only wanted a “hand-out.” They were not interested in invoking the basic law of prosperity by giving or sowing first. Instead, they were trying to get something for nothing, which simply cannot be done. Thus, they continued to live in poverty.

5 Mental Attitudes of Winners

5 Mental Attitudes of Winners

By Mike Brooks, Mr. Inside Sales

Note: Although this is targeted towards sales people, the principles and attitudes apply to EVERYONE so read this and take it to heart!

Success in sales, as in all of life, starts by first developing and maintaining an expectant attitude of success. Simply put, all top performers expect that they are going to succeed, and because of this they consistently take the actions that lead them to achieve their goals and become successful.

It is their mental attitudes that allow them to meet obstacles, setbacks and temporary failures with a new resolve to keep trying, or to try something different, until they succeed. That’s what makes them top 20% producers.

The other 80%, on the other hand, expect things to be difficult, have already accepted that they might not succeed, and they are easily discouraged when things don’t go their way. This attitude allows them to justify and accept the results they get.

If you are serious about changing your career and your life, then get in the practice of working on your mental attitude first. Adopt these 5 mental attitudes of winners to powerfully change your ways of thinking and to permanently change your results.

1) Understand the law. There are many absolute laws in the universe – the law of gravity, the laws of mathematics, etc. The most powerful law in terms of your success is the law of attraction. In short, whatever you hold in your consciousness you will manifest in your life.

So if you don’t like your results, then look at their source (your thoughts, expectations and beliefs), and work on changing those first. Once you do, your results will automatically change.

2) Stop blaming. So many people blame the economy, the leads, their territory, their boss, their family, etc., for their failure. But the truth is this: You are 100% responsible for your life and your results. Winners accept this and that’s where their power comes from. When you accept 100% responsibility you then gain access to 100% of the solutions.

3) Stop struggling. Success is easy because all results are simply an out picturing (a physical manifestation) of what we hold in our consciousness (our beliefs). The reason most people struggle (and fail) is because they try to achieve something without first changing their mental attitudes.

Winners recognize and work on changing their attitudes and beliefs and expectations first, and then they easily and naturally take the actions that lead to the achievement of their goals.

4) Live life’s formula. Most people live under the false belief that if they HAVE a lot of money, then they would DO the things that would allow them to BE happy. This is totally backward.

The real formula for success is to first “BE”– act, feel and live in your mind as if you had already achieved your goal – and then you will naturally DO the things (take the actions) that will enable you to HAVE what you want. This is life’s true formula and the sooner you live it, the sooner you’ll experience success.

5) Stop worrying. All thoughts turn into things. If you constantly worry about not having enough money, you will never have enough money. If instead you develop a money consciousness (see the banner at the end of this ezine for MP3 hypnosis recordings to help you do this), then you will attract all the money you need. Believe me, there is enough money in the world for you to have the things you want!

Carefully monitor your thoughts right before you fall asleep at night and first thing in the morning. Then ask yourself, “What am I asking from the universe every single day?” Chances are, what you are dwelling on has already shown up in your life.

I hope these 5 mental attitudes of winners resonated with you. Like gravity, they work in and on your life whether you consciously practice them or not. The key is to understand and use them purposefully to achieve the results you want. Once you do, you will manifest success just like the top 20% do.

Mike Brooks, Mr. Inside Sales, works with business owners and inside sales reps nationwide teaching them the skills, strategies and techniques of top 20% performance. If you’re looking to catapult your sales, or create a sales team that actually makes their monthly revenues, then learn how by visiting:

I hope you got as much out of this as I did.

A Lesson From Nature

by

A Lesson from Nature
by Napoleon Hill

Everything, animate or inanimate, starts out as a nucleus – a whirling bit of energy which, although so small as to defy the lens of the microscope, has the power to attract to itself whatever of a like nature it requires for its sustenance and growth.

Remember the acorn and the handful of earth. Locked up within that acorn is the germ of life, the nucleus which is capable of drawing from its surrounding elements of soil, air, water, and sunlight, the materials to build an oak tree.

Take a seed of corn or wheat; plant it in the ground and it will create a center of activity which attracts from its environment the precise balance of chemical constituents which will produce a cornstalk, or a stalk of wheat, and bring forth a reproduction of itself, according to the law of growth and increased returns.

These analogies help us to get a true picture of the power of the mind through self-suggestion. You can see how it is possible to sow a seed of desire with the subconscious mind through conscious expressed repetition of this desire … to feed and nourish this seed by the stimulus of high emotion … to germinate it by the sunshine of faith, and thus to attract to yourself from the bounteous supply of life energy in Infinite Intelligence the practical plans whereby that original seed of desire may be developed into its physical counterpart.

The law of attraction is based upon the principle of growth from the vitality which is inherent in the seed (idea or desire) itself. Every seed has, in itself, a potentially perfect plant. Every worthy desire has in it the potential power for its perfect fulfillment. If a seed is to germinate and produce a crop after its own kind, it must be planted in fertile soil, it must have nourishment, and it must have sunshine to ripen it for harvest.

Your subconscious mind can be compared to a fertile garden spot wherein may be planted the seed of your definite purpose, by means of a burning desire which imparts the initial energy into the nucleus of your definite purpose, and causes it to enlarge and grow. Now we have explained how the seed may be nourished and cultivated by persistent action according to your plans and through repeated instructions to your subconscious. Also how you may attract the vitalizing influence of Infinite Intelligence and focus it on the object of your desire. Here you have the whole process laid before you. It is a process which is going on all around you in countless forms of life. It is not a matter of theory. It is a demonstrated fact. You have only to adapt it to y our own definite purpose.

The Subconscious Mind

by

Subconscious Mind
By Judith Williamson

Too often, it is said, our objective mind or conscious mind merely wishes for things. This wishing does not create the white heat of desire that emotionalizes the subconscious mind as it would if we had a magnificent obsession. When we truly desire what we want in earnest, we think about it, meditate on it, write about it, plan for its attainment, and then begin to work toward achieving it one step at a time. This close attention to what we want not only intensifies our focus, but it also wakes up the sleeping giant, the genie, the powerful force known as our subconscious mind that lies dormant in too many people – perhaps the 98% of the population that Dr. Hill refers to as drifters.      

Since the process of how the subconscious mind works is simple, many people refuse to accept it and instead work to overanalyze it or discard it as some sort of hocus-pocus.      

When we accept that the power within us can do great things through us and for us, it is not in our area of interest to ask how this will occur or attempt to figure out just what mechanism is put into motion to bring this about. Simply    
focusing intently on your plan without undo attention to how this works, will cause the desired outcome to begin to manifest in your life. Your subconscious mind, like Aladdin’s genie, is willing to grant your every wish. Once commanded to perform, it will rise to the occasion and work miracles in your behalf if you only get out of its way.

By knowing positively what you want, expecting it to happen, and acting as if it has already done so, you will be surprised at the quick realization of your desire. Once received, always express immediate gratitude for the gift from your higher power and move on to create additional richness in your life. Gratitude in advance is not a bad idea either since, by expressing gratitude for a completed project, we are signaling our subconscious mind that we have already completed it.

Recall that the subconscious mind exists only in the present. It responds to commands. Finally, it cannot distinguish one type of command from another. Faith and fear both intensify the process, and the story plays out that what you think about you become. Too bad our mind did not come with a user’s manual at birth; but, that being the case, it is never too late to uncover the mystery of our inner mechanisms. It just might enhance the rest of our lives. Try it, and see!      
Now, read on and take the advice of one individual accustomed to calling up his subconscious mind at will. W. Clement Stone not only understood but personally utilized the power of the subconscious mind in the creation of his insurance business and his rewarding life. His legacy is a living testimonial as to the inherent benefit of using one’s mind for personal advancement.

Change

CHANGE—THE ONLY PERMANENT THING IN THE UNIVERSE
by Napoleon Hill

THE LAW of change is one of the great miracles with which the Creator has blessed humans and every other creature. Change is an important tool in human progress. Yet, it’s the one thing against which many people fight hardest. The law of change is, however, inexorable. Uncounted civilizations of Mankind have died for violating it. For the law reads that just as the physical world must undergo incessant change, Man’s social and cultural world must progress or die.

But the law is a blessing. Without it, Man would still be an animal. With it he can map his own earthly destiny and create the ways and means of attaining it. It is the device by which the habits and thoughts of men continuously reshape themselves into a better system of human relations, leading toward harmony, better understanding and closer brotherhood.      

You can use the law of change to achieve your individual aims of material success. Fatalism is insufficient. You must take positive steps to make events work out the way you want them, in full faith that they will come to pass if your goal is a proper one.      
 
Recognition of the law of change can ease the blows that life deals out to you. Even the loss of a loved one will be softened by acknowledgment that grief itself is something that must pass away.      

Instead of resisting the law of change, make it work for you. When Woodrow Wilson first advocated formation of the Federal Reserve System, many bankers cried out loudly against what they considered an unnecessary change from the old tried and true methods.

But others, far more foresighted, knew that the old order was bound to pass away. The result was the organization of a financial system that has saved many banks in times of emergency.

Henry Ford should have known more certainly than any man of his time that the law of change demands persistent progress. But he once lost sight of the fact—and almost lost his business.      

A stubborn man, Ford refused to believe that the Model “T” could ever be supplanted despite warnings from associates. Competitors proved him wrong and Ford’s sales dropped dangerously before he realized his error and recouped with new, modern models.      

Constant repetition has not blemished the truth of the old statement that “Time and tide wait for no man.” And Shakespeare said: “There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.”      

You must be prepared to seize the opportunities offered you by the irresistible law of change—or doom yourself to failure.
