The Best Years of Your Life… Now!

In the free report available on the Intentional Prosperity web site: “Five Radical Tips You Can Use Now” – I think the single most important tip is “mending fences”

Like the phrase says:  Mending or fixing what’s broken in your life.

Of course I’m talking about fixing your personal relationships.  

As we move into the holiday season it’s another opportunity to see people and for you to reach out with your good open heart – pure intent – and once and for all fix whatever may be broken in the relationship.

Use the power of forgiveness to do this…

Be the bigger man or woman – because you know you can – and forgive or ask for forgiveness.  Do this for yourself and for whoever else may be involved.

It doesn’t really matter who’s fault it was – just forgive.

We’re moving into a very different world next year than the one we’re leaving behind… Not just a fresh start but potentially a whole new ball game.

You’re going to need those in your life who know you and care about you.  It’s going to be important to make your bonds with other people much more meaningful and solid.  I’m saying this for one reason:

All opportunities, dreams and good energy flows to you from other people.

In order to open yourself to receive the good that is coming your way you must remove those issues which rob you of your personal life energy and can actually block you from the good your deserve.

Unresolved negative memories and situations take precious energy away from your ability to live your life to it’s fullest potential.

The neat thing is that you can do something about it.

Forgive and forget

Now matter what’s going on with the economy you still have to move on with your life.

Everyone is becoming affected in one way or another by the growing recession. Even if you have a secure job – like working for the government – you’re still going to feel the effects of the rapidly changing “rules of the game”.

So what can you do?

You have to “keep going”. There is no alternative. You still have to live your life.

Oh sure, I am going to urge you to adjust how you think, act and what you expect — so you minimize the effects of the recession — that’s why I’ve spent so much time on the Intentional Self-Reliance Boot Camp. It’s a very timely process — that is “streamlining” your life so that you are in the best possible position to face any unknown challenge.

But .. You should be in this “self-aware” position anyway.

Being in control of what you actually can control, being present in the moment — not “sleepwalking” through your life — these are all things that apply no matter if it’s the best of times or the worst of times.

It’s just human nature to not “rock the boat” until you actually see the water rising inside the vessel. Then you get motivated to do what you should have been doing all along.

As I’ve been putting the finishing touches on the many video segments in the Intentional Self-Reliance Boot Camp –  I’ve realized that the information it contains is timeless. It applies to anyone in any economic cycle. Yet, it took this sudden downturn in the economy to make it somehow more relevant.

The basics of living life on your own terms and following your passion – which are found in “The Intentional Prosperity™ System” – still requires the same information I’ve put together within the Boot Camp!

I guess that’s what makes the information so credible.

It’s always applicable.

It’s unfortunate that so many people who would scoff at the consideration of adjusting the trajectory of their lifestyle will — because of the economic hard times — finally begin to pay attention to the very aspects of their lives they should have been aware of all along.

But that’s how it goes in life… We just walk along until we stumble and fall. Then as we pick ourselves up and we finally look around to see where we’ve been walking. Hopefully, we use this “glitch” to change direction — which is where the Boot Camp comes in.

The truth is a year ago not many people would not have paid much attention to phrases like “self-reliance”. Now, all of a sudden, doing what you can for yourself and your loved ones has become a matter of survival for many.

Funny, I always believed doing what you can for yourself and your loved ones — to live the best life you can — was your ongoing responsibility. Waiting for a global meltdown to finally take a serious look at the direction your life has been going — seems like it might be too little, too late.

In the great scheme of things, however, it’s just another opportunity to find out who you are and what your real purpose may be.

If it takes getting hit on the head with a “financial hammer” in order to wake up – it’s way better than not hearing the alarm at all.

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.
