“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.”
Richard Bach in Jonathon Livingstone Seagull.
Richard Bach is one of my favorite authors - some of his books include Stranger to the Ground, Nothing by Chance, There’s No Such Place As Far Away , Illusions:The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah to name just a few.
I have always found that Bach’s philosophy that we create our reality is very similar to the ideas of Seth It was interesting to find this note on College Crier
“The way I was led to meet Jane and Rob was one of these examples of the principle of coincidence. When someone says there’s a book I have to read I say ” sure”. When the third or fourth person in a row tells me I need to read a book, I start listening. That had happened with Jane’s first book, The Seth Material. I was in this dim little corridor in a second hand book store with books to the ceiling. This book was sticking out like it was about to fall down. I reached up to push it back in and I noticed it was that book. I opened it and was completely fascinated. If you know the Seth books, they’re like deep chocolate fudge. One sentence will last you for hours. At the time Jane-believe it or not- was in the phone book, so I called her. I told her that I’d had this strange experience. I’d written a book that I felt was not of my personal creation. She asked me what book. I said Jonathan Livingston Seagull. She said that people had been telling her to read that book. She and Rob, her husband, invited me up for dinner. So I flew up and had a wonderful time with them, and occasionally with Seth, who would come booming through Jane at odd intervals whenever there was something interesting for him to say.”

Find your passion.

What are you passionate about? Are you doing what you love to do? It’s no secret that the most successful people love what they do (and do what they love).
“It’s hard to find work you love ; it must be, if so few do. So don’t underestimate this task. And don’t feel bad if you haven’t succeeded yet. In fact, if you admit to yourself that you’re discontented, you’re a step ahead of most people, who are still in denial. If you’re surrounded by colleagues who claim to enjoy work that you find contemptible, odds are they’re lying to themselves. Not necessarily, but probably.” Paul Graham
You don’t have to make the jump from where you are now to where you want to be in one huge, seemingly impossible jump. Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals (Jim Rohn). If your goal is to be doing what you love, then perhaps to achieve this you need to break it down into smaller achievable goals.

“We’ve observed that people who stall in their personal growth work often have counterproductive soft addictions that stand in their way of growth and having the life they say they want. It can be a simple thing, such as watching TV instead of finishing a project.”
Are you stalled in your personal growth? Are your soft addictions standing in the way of your personal development? Are they slowing you down reaching your goals?

Robert Kiyosaki and the Cash Flow Quadrant
Posted on August 17, 2008
Filed Under personal development home business | 3 Comments
Robert Kiyosaki has written many motivational books starting with Rich Dad Poor Dad. Rich Dad Poor Dad is the story of Robert’s two fathers. His “poor dad” was his biological father,”he struggled financially all his life”. And his “rich dad,” his best friend’s father who became “one of the richest man in Hawaii”. By contrasting his two Dads, Kiyosaki helps people rethink their idea of money and wealth building.
Although there is some controversy over whether Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad” was real or whether he made it up, there are still some very valid concepts in his books. One of the most important is the Cashflow Quadrant which is also the name of the book written by Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. The Cashflow Quadrant shows the four ways to earn money. Employees, Self Employed/Small Business owners, Business owners (not directly involved in the day-to-day operation of the company), and Investors. Robert Kiyosaki’s philosophy for financial independence is that not all Quadrants are equal.
“That is why I did not want a job. If we were going to be responsible citizens, Kim and I wanted to have our money work for us rather than spend our lives physically working for money.”
Robert Kiyosaki in Cashflow Quadrant .
“You only have so many hours in a day and you can only work so hard. So why work hard for money? Learn to have money and people work hard for you, and you can be free to do the things that are important.”
Rich Dad in Cashflow Quadrant .

Positive Thinking - Will Smith talks about bending the universe
Posted on August 16, 2008

Here is Will Smith talking about positive thinking and creating our reality:
“… our thoughts, our feelings, our dreams, our ideas. are physical in the universe. That if we dream something, if we picture something, if we commit ourselves to it, that that is a physical thrust towards realization that we can put into the universe. That the universe is not a thing that is going to push us around, that the world and people and situations are not something that are going to push us around. That we are going to bend the universe and command and demand that the universe become what we want it to be…”
I notice that there are 3 steps:
1) We dream of something. It may be that new car, that new house, that special relationship.
2) We picture it. We visualize and focus on it. We raise our vibration.
and 3) We commit ourselves to it. We know in our hearts that this will be. There is absolutely no doubt.

True North is the internal compass that guides you successfully through life. It represents who you are as a human being at your deepest level. It is your orienting point - your fixed point in a spinning world -that helps you stay on track as a leader. Your True North is based on what is most important to you, your most cherished values, your passions and motivations, the sources of satisfaction in your life.

Law of Attraction and the Obstacles We Face
Posted on August 14, 2008
Filed Under Law of Attraction | 1 Comment
“The walls are there not to stop you, but to see how much you want something.”
Alternate Healing
There are two responses I hear when people are facing the challenge of starting a business. The first is “I can’t afford it.” (Either in relation to time or money). The other response I hear is “I can’t afford it, what can I do? How am I going to make this happen?”
Often, it is not whether there will be challenges we will face (because there will always be challenges) but instead what will be our response to the obstacles that stand between us and our goals.
This leads into the Law of Attraction - where do we put our attention and focus? Do we focus on the obstacle or on potential solutions? (Remember LOA tells us that whatever we give our energy, attention and focus on, the Universe gives us more of.)
Facing a challenge or obstacle? - here’s two questions to ask that focus on the solution instead of the problem.
1) So what do I want?
and
2) What am I going to do about it?

Thoughts Are Things - Quote of the Day

“He then had a sudden image of himself as a ball of energy fields, a little star, glowing with a steady stream of every photon his body had ever produced for more than fifty years. All the information he had been sending from the time he was a young boy in Long Island, every last thought he ever had, was still out there, glowing like a starlight. Perhaps, I thought, intention was like a star. Once constructed, a thought radiated out like starlight, affecting everything in its path.”
The Intention Experiment by LynneMcTaggart
“Thoughts become things.”
Mike Dooley - Tuts Adventure Club
“What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow; our life is the creation of our mind.”
Buddah
“Change your thoughts, and you change your world.

Seth Speaks
Posted on August 10, 2008
Filed Under personal development | 1 Comment
One of my favorite books is Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts. The book is written by a channeled personality call Seth. Now whether it is written by Seth or by a part of Jane Roberts unconsciousness isn’t as important to me as the validity of the subject matter. Here are several quotes from the book. Please note that this book was published in 1972 - long before The Secret and many other books.
“Consciousness is, among other things, a spontaneous exercise in creativity.”
“You are given the gift of the gods; you create your reality according to your beliefs.”
“The intensity of a feeling or thought or mental image is, therefore, the important element in determining its subsequent physical manifestation.”
