The Insidious Nature Of Despair

Beware of despair! 

It begins as a twinge of self doubt.  Feeding on a sense of uncertainty and amplified by the growing feeling of fear —  which turns into a blind panic — cutting you off from rational thought and causing you to become overwhelmed with a feeling of helplessness.

Then the various aspects of your day-to-day life begin to reinforce your worst fears.

You begin to draw to yourself everything you fear.  Your consciousness becomes a magnet for your worst expectations. 

“The Intentional Prosperity™ System” clearly teaches and explains how it is possible to have your life mirror back to you any thought you fix your attention on and then amplify with emotion. 

This innate ability to create our own reality based upon our expectations is the double-edged sword we call life.

You have the free will to decide where you’re going to fix your imagination. 

If you choose to focus upon the worst case scenarios — they will become your reality just as certainly as day turns into night.

Understanding this innate power to create your own reality — which is the reflection of the focus of your imagination and the amplification of your emotions — is one of the foundational principles of “The Intentional Prosperity™ System”.

If you understand how your human operating system works, you can regain control over yourself as well as the outer reality you’re currently experiencing as your day-to-day life.

This is not some kind of fantastic hopeful wish…

This is the predictable outcome of understanding and utilizing the Intentional Prosperity™ philosophy.  

Some are going to choose to fall down the “rabbit hole” and bury themselves in a horrific avalanche of fear, uncertainty and doubt.  For these people, their imagination will become the Warden of a self made prison.  Where your fellow inmates are the reflections of your worst fears.

If I can only communicate one thing to you — it would be this:

We live on a planet where fear is the first reaction to change.  Fear, for too many people, is the  paralyzing drug of choice — fed by a lifetime of skepticism and ignorance of the power of their own dark beliefs.

Now more than ever, you must accept the personal responsibility of taking conscious control over where you shift your attention.  Either  to the beacon of light  which is hope — that feeling which opens your imagination to what is possible — or you can place your attention on the edge of night and you will in time become blinded by the darkness and hopelessness of fear.

You only have your imagination — and the free will to choose where in your imagination you will experience your perception of reality.

How To Make $75K A Month!

“How can Intentional Prosperity™ help me make my goal of earning $75K a month?”

That was a question I received a couple of weeks ago from someone using our system.  Asking questions is one of the features of the system.  

Based upon the Intentional Prosperity™ philosophy and the information in our online lessons — I wrote back the following answer:

Regarding your goal of $75K a month:

 It all comes down to creating “pathways” (this is covered in the coming lessons)  If you have sufficient pathways in-place —  which are comprised of personal relationships — you have a greater potential for the money making possibilities which are necessary to achieve your goal. When they — the pathways — are already in-place, manifesting your desires becomes easier.  

Until that happens, you have to focus on building new pathways (relationships).  You have to create the infrastructure necessary to support your goal.  You’ve got to have the foundation built before you can put the house up.

So if your goal is the roof of the house ($75K a month) — what point are you — realistically — in the building process? Do you have the pathways in-place that  will support that level of income?

Why is it always easier for someone who has made a million dollars to make the second million? 

Because the methodology and the pathways necessary for the manifestation of the first million have already been created and experienced by that individual. 

This makes it easier for the second million  to manifest. The field has already been cleared, plowed, fertilized and watered and harvested.  Now all you have to do is a “second planting”.

Whereas someone who hasn’t made their first million has to overcome “inertia” by creating the pathways (preparing the soil and building the relationship infrastructure)  necessary for the monetary energy to flow to him or her.

To achieve your goal:  Create the infrastructure (relationship pathways) first — that will support it. Otherwise you may experience a “one-shot” deal.  One great month that never repeats itself.

Warmest Regards,

You’re Perfect

I thought this earlier posting was a great attention getter and worth another look. -Bob

You’re perfect!

Your personality, the way you think, your social skills, attitudes, opinions, beliefs, values, intelligence, the way you look, what you eat, how you speak… Are all perfect!

This is why your life is also perfect.

You have no problems, challenges, inner conflicts, self doubt, fear or uncertainty. You have achieved or are in the process of achieving all of your perfect dreams…and of course you’re so happy it’s downright ridiculous!

Every problem or challenge you face on a day to day basis is always being caused by someone or something failing to recognize your perfection. Because of this failure you are forced to “deal” with situations which are never your fault.

How can they be? Your world-view is flawless.

You “see” perfect truth always. Who can blame you when you get frustrated and angry with everyone else’s stupidity!

You routinely dismiss comments like “self involved”, “arrogant” and “narcissistic” as nothing more than the remarks of the jealous who are intimidated by your obvious superiority and leadership… How can you possibly take “them” seriously?

You’re perfect!

The Healing Technique Trap

In the world of self-growth there are a number of techniques.

Some are like the flavor of the month.  Appealing because of their simplicity and seeming one-size-fits-all remedy for all the problems you want to fix.

Sorry to inform you that there is no single technique that going to be “the answer”.

In fact, common sense should have you ask a simple question:

If a given technique is so effective, why are those who swear by and use the technique still “working through issues” —  years after they were introduced to the so-called healing technique?

The problem with the single technique approach is that it’s very much like one of those plate holders you see at a buffet.  You remove the top plate and another one rises to replace it.

This is what happens when you use a single “healing” technique.  

You’re only addressing a single instance of “emotional trauma”.  Let me give you an example of what I’m talking about:

For the sake of argument, let’s say that from the time you are two years old to the time you are forty years old you probably have at least an average of one “traumatic” experience per day. When I say “traumatic” I’m referring to anything that shakes up your equilibrium — which can vary from something extreme to someone beeping their car horn at you.  As far as your mind and emotions are concerned, it’s still a “traumatic” experience, to a greater or lesser degree.

Since there are 365 days in a year (x 38 years) you are looking at a minimum of 13,700 “truamatic” experiences which are lined up — one below the other — needing “the technique” to help dissolve all those emotional traumas.  

My point is this:

Unless you take a holistic approach to your imagination-emotion-mind-body system — which no single technique can do — you will find yourself months and years later still using the same technique and still having yet another issue to confront.

Because you’re only confronting the symptoms — not getting at the cause of the trauma.

That requires an understanding of your inner operating system — and using several techniques — designed to create a synergy between your imagination-emotion-mind – body system.

If you want real change you have to do more than put a new emotional bandage on every day.

You’re going to have to take back control over those aspects of yourself which are no longer working on your behalf.  

Emotional trauma is only a symptom of how you react to stimulus.

Adjusting your reaction by altering your attitudes, opinions and beliefs — to come into balance with what you “want” to believe is your truth —  will alter the way you filter and react to your day-to-day life.

This is why “The Intentional Prosperity™ System” has seven different techniques 

We use a holistic approach to insure the balanced alteration of your core beliefs. By exposing what you really believe to your waking mind — you reclaim the power of choice. You can “pass judgement” on that belief  based upon your current understanding and experience.  This breaks the automatic reactions that keep creating unintended consequences in your life.

The proof is in the pudding…

As the years go by — the believers in the single technique will be dealing with the “next issue”. Yet another emotional trauma will be the focus of their attention — requiring that technique they’ve become so dependent upon… To help them get through another day.

And at the end of the day — They’ll still feel like “something’s missing”.

The Unlimited Potential Of An Open Mind

To many, unlimited potential is a cliche.

You hear it all the time in my business.

Take the limitations away (often self imposed) — unleash your imagination and anything is possible.

Every now and then I discover something that breaks the mold of what is possible (or what I thought was possible) which erases the cliche and puts new meaning into “unlimited
potential”

Take a close look at this picture:

IT WAS CREATED WITH A TYPEWRITER!

By a man named Paul Smith.  He had severe cerebral palsey — yet he broke through the self imposed limitations of what we humans thought he could achieve and created a means of expression which is nothing less than astonishing and inspiring.

Born in 1921, Paul passed away in 2007.  He left a legacy of artwork which — because of the nature of his physical challenges –  presents a powerful and compelling argument for the reality of unlimited potential.  He was able to find an infinite canvass of possibilities within the confines of his physical ability.

In other words, he used what he had available to him and found that he could transport the beauty of his imagination into this physical world — in a manner that leaves us humbled.

As the years go by I am more convinced that anything is possible.

We humans continue to live in a shared reality which is based upon the lowest common denominator — fear being the greatest aspect of that shared reality.

As you move into the understanding of your true nature and unleash the creative powers which are waiting for you –  as part of your DNA and hard-wiring –  you will also surprise and amaze yourself with what you are capable of doing.

Never let “unlimited potential” be some catch phrase with no real meaning in your life.  To do so, is to turn your back on the reason why you have been given the gift of life:

To discover who and what you really are:  A point of view — a perception of reality — an imagination whose properties are determined only by what you decide they will be.
