The Power of Wealth with-in You

How to Recognize and Release Your Power

There is an inherent power lying in each and every person, hidden deep within us. By finding this power and knowing how to use it we can obtain miraculous results. We have the power to create financial freedom and independence, the power to lead a healthy lifestyle, the power to live where we want and do the things we dream of doing.

There is in man a greater Self, one that transcends the current belief we have of ourselves. Our goal is to find that person and become what we are supposed to be, to do and to have. Whether that is to be a person who is seeking benefits of a healthy life, a person who pursues wealth and is looking for your financial freedom, or a person who craves living in the country and who enjoys horses and ranch life. We strive to be all that we can be.

The idea of this book is to assist men and women to bring their inward powers of mind and spirit into reality. Intuitively and in harmony with universal law; to build up character, and to find within them that wondrous Self, which is their real self, and which when realized reveals to them that they are capable of extraordinary happenings. The ability to run their business, work from home, travel the world, experience abundant health.

There is no way whereby the lessons of life can be avoided. Each life must meet it own troubles and difficulties; each soul must pass through its own waters, every heart must encounter sorrow and grief. But none should be overwhelmed in the conflicts of life, for one who has learned the great secret of his identity with the Universal life and power, dwells in an impregnable city, built upon the truth.

While this book does not offer any vain promises of an easy life, for that is not possible. As we must all pass different tests, go through trials and tribulations given to us by our choices that we make. Depending on how our mind thinks, what we value (truth, money, health), what are my goals (making money, being healthy, enjoying country lifestyle), my ambitions (training, showing horses), and my beliefs (spiritual, mental, health or wealth). However, it shows you how to become so strong that life looks almost easy by comparison (life or fate does not change or become easier, but the individual alters and becomes stronger). While it shows the reader how to avoid making their life more difficult than it need be. As Ellie Drake says “It’s Easier Done Than Said”. Most peoples lives would be less filled with trouble and suffering if they took life in the right spirit and acted in harmony with the Universal Laws. The idea here is to assist many to come into harmony and your life’s purpose, avoiding much needless suffering. This discovery which brings with it a realization of absolute security, to bring into expression and wisely use the inner spirit and metal forces and then enter a life of overcoming obstacles and finding unlimited opportunities and dreams. Of course we all know that positive thoughts/choices and actions bring about positive results or consequences and that negative will also yield only negatives.

We each possess unlimited power and potential. The power of the spirit that lies in each person provides us with this power and potential. It is not the power of an ordinary, dull and dreary life. It transcends these, because being spiritual is of a higher order than either physical or even mental thought.

When you don’t tap into the power with-in you, you feel as if you are lost. When you do tap into this source of energy, you find you are unstoppable. Things that seemed difficult before are no longer that way. You have the ability to overcome them, by either going around or through them. Try looking at your difficulties from another point of view. Take a look from another angle and you will begin to see them in a different light. Then you will be able to find your way of getting them accomplished with ease.

I recently read this story and it seems to fit here: A man who once wrote about the salvaging of old ships stated that it was not the age of the wood from the vessel alone that improved its quality. The straining and the twisting of the ship by the sea, the chemical reaction produced by the bilge water, and the differing cargoes also had an effect. Several years ago some oak boards from an eighty year old ship, and some mahogany beams also taken from a vessel of some sixty years old were exhibited. They attracted attention because of their elegant coloring and beautiful grain. The years of travel had constricted the pores of the wood and deepened it colors, so that they were as magnificent and bright as those of an ancient Chinese vase. There is also a great difference between the quality of life of people who lived listless, self-indulgent, and useless lives and the quality of those who have sailed through the rough times, carrying cargo and burdens but are guided by their spirit. In the latter group, not only has the stress and strain of life seeped into their lives but the aroma of the sweetness of their cargo has also been absorbed into the very pores of each fiber of their character. I was pondering this story, realizing that it gave me a peace of mind. It is okay where I am now in my life, yes my cargos and burdens have shaped me. It is also up to me to determine how I look at this shaping, whether I look “rotted” or “wondrous” and that I have the power to change how I am affected by the events around me. Even though these events or circumstances (choices and reactions) have shaped me to where I am today, I have the inherent power to change them in the future.

If you enter into this inner knowledge you can find yourself the possessor of infinite power and unlimited potential. You can create your own strategies for the wealth you desire, or the life you wish and dream of living. If it is to be it is up to me.

How To Enjoy A Happy Life

"Don't Worry, Be Happy," sings Bob Marley. But happiness appears to be a lost art. The stress of day to day living has made us worried and very unhappy. Our scarce resources don't seem sufficient to balance the demand.
Yet is worry itself only an illusion? A bad habit? A self-defeating way of thinking?Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful. It is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from stress. Worry, on the other hand, creates stress, which itself is linked to heart disease, cancer and stroke. How can you embrace change, stop worrying, and feel happy?
Make A Decision To Be Happy"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be," said Abraham Lincoln. To be happy is relatively easy. Just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people can choose how happy or unhappy they want to be. Wouldn't you rather be relaxed rather than tense, bright rather than gloomy?
The choice is simple: choose to be happy. Happiness, then, as Abraham Lincoln pointed out, is actually a decision. It's not based on a perfect equilibrium in all your affairs. It's based on a choice to adopt an optimistic view. If you're going to wait for everything to be perfect before you give yourself permission to be happy, you may catch a window of opportunity only once or twice in a lifetime.
Improve Your Relationships. One certain way to be happy is to make all your relationships positive ones.Social networks are essential for happiness. People are different, accept them the way they are. Avoid clashes. Shun arguments. Let go of resentments. If an argument seems inevitable, try and understand the situation from the other person's perspective before you lose your temper. Often, this expansion of perception, is enough to end disagreements and misunderstandings.Happiness is our natural birthright.
Everyone has that capacity. Increasing it can make life wonderful. You'll also feel healthy, think clearly, and do everything better. Adopt An Attitude Of GratitudeBeing grateful is a great attitude. We have much to be thankful for. Thank the sun for rising, the sky for its beauty, and the meadows and hills for bright,living colors. Thank the air and the water for sustaining your life; the food placed before you for nourishing you; the work given to your hands to do to provide all your material needs.Thank the people who think you're special.
There is no limit on things to be grateful for.Avoid MalcontentsLife is a challenge and many people develop a peculiar joy from sharing their "ain't it awful" stories with you.Somehow, after listening to them gossip or whine, you suddenly feel empty and defeated. While you may enjoy offering a friendly word of advice, prefer to spend your time associating with happier people.If you can't get enough bad news, then turn on the radio or television.
People who are miserable can sap your energy. Do you really want to spend your time with them? It's just as easy to find uplifting joyful companionship and tune into information that is informative and inspiring. Avoid Ugly EnvironmentsAvoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.Tune In To The InfiniteA spiritual perspective can tune you into the big picture. All of life is evolving before your very eyes. Relish the adventure of being here, now.
Do things that remind you of your own spiritual nature. For some, it is walking out in nature, for others it is a formal practice like meditation, contemplation, orjoining a like-minded group.Manage Your Time Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste. Time management can make every part of your life work better.Time management involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing. With just a modicum of effort, you can develop efficient personal time management skills.
Make Time For HumorWatch funny movies, listen to and share jokes, and do things that make you feel silly and light-hearted. Life has its hilarious side as well.Share Your AffectionExpress your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you. They will most likely reciprocate. Try to release pent up anger or frustration. Be slow to anger and quick to forgive. It makes life for everyone, including yourself, so much easier.Do Work You LoveWorking hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. You feel competent when you finish your tasks. Accomplishments are necessary for all of us. They give us a sense of value.
Work on things that you feel worthy of your time. Love what you do and do what you love. It's a great way to make more money because your energy is aligned with your desires.Enjoy Learning New ThingsLearning is a joyful experience. Try and learn something new every day. Learning broadens your horizons. It also improves what you can do and be in the future. Get In Touch With Your BodyRun, jog, walk, exercise, make love. Get in touch with your body. Be present in your body. Feel alive in it.
These are just a few simple things you can do everyday to be happy. Once you think about it, you can come up with quite a few more.The best place to start right now is to remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."The pursuit of happiness may be easier than you think.
