Emotions Are Your "Go-Power"

by

 

Another secret of financial independence (after we decide we won’t settle for less than the best in life) is the law of concentration and conservation. Conservation of thought, energy and emotional drive are all greatly needed for financial independence.

You have, I’m sure, seen people who seem to prosper for a period.   Their business may even be booming. But suddenly the bottom drops out and they experience dire failure, from which they seem unable to recover. In almost every instance, if you look closely, you will discover that those people’s emotions, attitudes and way of life became scattered, thus depleting them of their previous fine ability to prosper.

Most business activities prosper as long as their personal lives succeed. But when marital difficulties arise, their businesses go on the rocks, too.

 We are all creatures of emotion and deep feeling. Our deep feeling can “make or break us” financially. They are your God-power and your go-Power. Guard them closely because your emotions are the richest gold mind you will ever own. Scattered thinking, scattered emotions, scattered actions lead to a scattering of your mind power. This, in turn depletes your physical energy that is essential for prosperity; it depletes your brain energy that is needed for an intelligent course of action or plan for prosperity; it saps your emotional drive that is needed to put your prosperity plans to work.

Financial Independence Can Be Yours

by

One of the desires of all prosperous minded people is to be self-supporting and financially independent. Poverty is a universal fear of mankind.

 Once you learn the power which you release through prosperous thinking, it will dawn upon you that the possibility of financial independence isn’t so far-fetched after all; you will realize that it isn’t just meant for other folks, but that it is meant for you too!

To one person financial independence might simply suggest a well paying, dependable job, through which he could consistently meet financial obligations and feel free from daily financial demands.
Another person might be thinking in millionaire terms. As you progress financially, your ideas of financial independence expand so that you want to have greater and greater financial freedom. Your definition of financial freedom will change as you grow.

The desire to be self-supporting and financially independent is a divine desire that has been implanted in the intellectual and emotional nature of man to help him progress, to achieve and to build a worthwhile life for himself.

The desire for financial independence – no matter what your definition) is a divine idea that should not be suppressed, but expressed constructively through the mind of man. When it is expressed man is able to experience the satisfaction and fulfillment that God wants him to have.

Don’t accept things as they are

Dissatisfaction with present financial conditions is the first step toward attaining financial independence. Don’t settle – don’t settle for things as they are.

You have the power, through prosperous thought and action, to change them into something far better and more satisfying. This is your key to financial independence – if you dare to use it.

Listen to your “Divine Dissatisfaction” and act on it. You have to let go, refuse to accept an unsatisfactory situation before the right doors will open.

Emmet Fox – "The Mills of God"

Do you know how to make things happen in your life? If you want to know more check out “The Art of Making Things Happen”.

Here, though is another significant Emmet Fox story

The Mills of God

by Emmet Fox

Another basic error that misleads many people is this – they think of God and man in terms only of the moment, or, at most, of a few years. They want to see everything squared up and settled within a year or two and because this does not happen, they decide that there is no justice in the universe, no law and order, and they wonder why God does not step in and do something about it.

Now, you are going to live forever – somewhere. You are going to live, not for century or a thousand centuries but forever. And so you will see that a year or two, or twenty or thirty years, is a very short time in which to look for permanent results. The mills of God grind slowly but they grind exceedingly small. The gardener does not say that there is no law in nature because his crop does not come up a week after he sows it. We do not say that the railroad has broken down because the train is not in Chicago half an hour after it leaves New York, but we are
often tempted to think that there is no law of justice and righteousness because we do not see the results of people’s good or evil deeds very soon after they happen.

Whatsoever a man soweth, says the Bible, that shall he also reap. This reaping takes time. If it seems to you that in your own life you have not received your desserts, the answer is that the end is not yet. God is never mocked, and sooner or later every prayer is answered. Every good thought, or word, or deed produces its fruit of happiness and spiritual advancement, and of course every negative thing for which we are also responsible will have to be met and overcome also. Nature always takes her time, and to understand her you must take the long view too.’

Next time we wonder why our affirmations haven’t worked or we haven’t received any ‘good’ following our doing good, re-read this and realize the mills of God are grinding and great things will happen.

Emmet Fox – "The Cafeteria"

by

As you may have noticed, I love Emmet Fox and his delightful life lessons…. You’ve heard us talk about the fact that you have to take ACTION in order for things to work. “The Art of Making Things Happen” shows you the action steps you need to take.

The Cafeteria

by Emmet Fox

Don’t wait for something to turn up. Don’t be content to let things drift along, hoping for the best. it is not spiritual to ‘put up’ with inharmonious conditions. If the conditions of your life are not to your liking, you must get to work on your own consciousness and, by raising that above the outer picture, cause those conditions to become something nearer to your heart’s desire. And you must keep on doing this until you find your True Place.

I had an amusing experience when I first came to America. Passing an attractive looking restaurant, I went inside, and, selecting a table, sat down and waited. Strangely, as it seemed to me then, nothing happened.

I sat there and continued to wait – indefinitely as it seemed. I couldn’t understand the reason for this neglect. All around me, people were enjoying their food, and only I was left out in the cold. After a while the truth of the situation slowly dawned on me – it was a cafeteria. (This system had no yet made its appearance in England in those days.)

I then quickly realized that while there was plenty of food of every kind to be obtained, one had to go forward and claim it for oneself, or go without.

The universe is run exactly on the lines of a cafeteria. Unless you claim – mentally – what you want, you may sit and wait forever. Of course, you should not claim in detail – that is outlining – but you must positively claim health, harmony, and True Place, if you really want those things.

I don’t know about you but this story changed my outlook on how to make changes in my own life when I first read it. I guess that’s because it’s so easy to understand. I hope this short story has helped you as much as it did me.

If you want more to help you shape your life, try out “The Art of Making Things Happen” and while you’re there you’ll be able to pick up your free audio answering your questions on how and why things have been happening in your life and those of your friends and family.
