The Best Years of Your Life… Now!

Worse Than Expected…

Those three words have accompanied just about every dire economic report I’ve seen since last September.

So what’s going on?

The so-called experts don’t have a clue.  

We’re in uncharted territory. Their “models” of how things are supposed to be working don’t fit reality.

That should give you a boost of confidence!

The people who advise us on what to expect keep getting it wrong… Again and again.

So what does this mean?  

Well common sense tells you that if “worse than expected” has been the most used phrase during the last three months – when describing the latest economic surprise – you had better believe that experts are at least getting one thing consistently right:

It’s worse than expected – and it going to continue to be worse than expected until it runs it’s course.

Are you prepared for the “worse than expected” future that’s rapidly coming your way?

The Intentional Self-Reliance online Boot Camp is coming soon…

It’s going to help you be fully prepared – so your experience will be “better than expected”!

They say that a Sailor walked into a shop and saw what he thought was an onion on the counter.  So he sliced the “onion” – made a sandwich – and promptly ate it.

That “onion” was actually a tulip bulb

And that sandwich caused the Shopkeeper to go bankrupt!

You see, he had “invested” his entire life savings into that single tulip bulb.  Because tulip bulbs where the most valuable things on the planet at the time.  There had been an enormous run-up in value – so everyone started “investing” in them. That’s right – tulip bulbs!

Then the “bubble” burst and it caused a world-wide financial meltdown

Sounds far-fetched doesn’t it?  Like I made up the story…

Well, I didn’t.

It’s true and it really happened in the early 1600′s

Many fortunes were lost because people got carried away – thinking the price of tulip bulbs would just keep going up and up – until one day it all came crashing down.

Believe it or not, history is full of financial “bubbles” that always eventually burst.

It’s just the way of things…

How much you want to bet that even right now, yet another “bubble” is starting to expand – and people will soon start throwing their money into it…

Those who fail to study history are bound to repeat it.

Poverty dramatically affects children’s brains according to an article in USA Today.

Comparing the brain functioning of “children of poverty” to that of stroke victims was a not so surprising – for those of us who understand the direct relationship between what we “think” and the neurological pathways – what we think –  create inside the brain.

In the Intentional Prosperity™ System I clearly explain how a “poverty mindset” literally creates an expectation of poverty within an individual –  which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.  

It’s not surprising that the scientific community is finally beginning  to “discover” what many of us who have been students of the “human operating system” have long accepted as “common sense”:

You Become What You Believe 

Why has it been so hard for the scientific community to accept consciousness as the ultimate determination of what we perceive and experience as our day-to-day  physical reality?

Maybe consciousness – as cause –  is too easy.  After all, “where you place your focus and attention – becomes your reality” - sounds too much like pretending.  You know: I’m going to pretend I’m this and because I’m putting all my attention on it I will actually become what I pretend to be.

But that’s how it really works – it’s that easy

We – that is our mind –  needs to create a rationale for what it will believe so it tends to dismiss as “not credible” anything that just seems “too easy”.

Where’s the dissertation?  The research – the corroborating authors and scholars?

Focus + Attention = Reality

It can’t be that easy!

But it is… Accepting and practicing that formula – now that’s a challenge.
