How Do You Feel About Money?

"Successful people make money. It's not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do." Dr. Wayne Dyer

First and foremost, I want to ask, "How do you feel about money? What do you think about money? Why do you think about money? When do you think about money? Many people think, talk and feel about money differently and most of the time. It makes a very important impression in minds of people who think, talk and feel about money. The question arises what do they think, talk and feel about money?

Successful men and women seem to love money and like money. They don't hate money. They like money. They see the good things that can be accomplished with the help of money. Money becomes a very important commodity for them. But most people think, talk and feel about money negatively. They have negative attitude towards money and as a result they repel it. Successful people don't chase money and they don't take their needs to the marketplace instead they attract money by following their life purpose and mission. They take their skills and talents to the marketplace and attract money.

Warren Buffet, the investment genius doesn't run after money instead his expertise and experiences go in search of better investment. Similarly, others too follow the same style of making money. They refine their skills, polish their professionalism and invest in their continuous learning.

Money is attracted to those who feel good about it. Money flows to people who think good about and talk good about it. Above all they feel good and great about having too much money. They see there is no any inherent evil in possessing money. In India people worship wealth or money because it represents Goddesses. In other words, they perceive money as something good and not evil as a matter of fact they attract what they consider to be good.

If there is poverty in the world, it is there because majority of people don't feel good about money. They think money is evil and a loathsome subject. Since they think negatively about money and feel bad about money, they repel possessing or attracting money. There is nothing wrong in attracting money, if it comes from genuine sources.

Many think money is evil because they see money coming from wrong sources and as a result they tend to think, talk and feel money as bad and evil. Money is not bad. It is good and affirmative. Money is bad when it is acquired through evil sources. Here the action is wrong and bad. However people should never consider money as evil.

If you want to attract money, abundance and prosperity in your life, you must think, talk and feel positively about money. There is something nice about it and it has the power to change one's life. Of course people feel bad about money because they were given misleading information from elders who didn't know much about money. They were well aware of the evil sources from where the money came in hand.

How do you feel about money when you spend it? What do you say to yourself when you give money to others? What do you think of accumulating money through good channels? Remember how you feel is very important in attracting money in your life and what you feel when you spend or buy something.

Feel good as much as you can about money. Love money as dearly as you can. Think about it as positive as you can and talk about its inherent qualities and power to change millions and billions of people on earth. Feel good, think good, talk good and love money to attract it in your life.

You Become What You Think!

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. We are shaped by our thoughts and we become what we think." Buddha

Our thoughts are very creative and powerful. We become what we think about all the time. In other words what are your thoughts? What do you focus on? Do you choose the positive, encouraging and empowering thoughts or discouraging thoughts? It is important to make a good choice between the thoughts that will serve you and help you succeed.

This is how we live our life. First we think and as a result we get some thoughts; then we speak out what we think and share our thoughts; next we take action and perform some activities on a regular basis and when we do the action, it becomes a habit and after becoming a habit, a new character or personality is formed and this character finally determines our destiny, our success and freedom.

It is important that we think those things that we really want them to happen. If you don't want certain things, you should never try to think about them lest they will become a reality one day. The words shouldn't be spoken up if you don't desire them to come true. We create our world, our life through the thoughts that emerge from our mind so be watchful what you think because what you think gets created by default or with efforts.

Mahatma Gandhi said, "A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes." This is absolutely true and it is proven correct by many people. Your human mind is connected with the infinite mind, which is formless and colourless but it exists and we are in touch with this formless mind by our thinking. The thoughts we think, make us what we want to be. If you are experiencing any problems in your life, it is only because you have attracted them and you brought them by your own thoughts. For thoughts are powerful and creative force.

If you are not enjoying a good health, it is purely because you are not making a right choice by thinking in a certain way to attract what you want. If you choose sickness, diseases and illness seeing the sick world, then that is what you will be getting always. Similarly, if you think about good debts and assets, you will acquire them rather than being in bad debts.

Decide to think those thoughts that you want to become and achieve. Stop thoughts are negative and discouraging. I believe you will be able to become what you want simply by thinking thoughts, speaking the same words that you want to become and taking action and forming habits to become a worthwhile person, you can easily become successful and happy.

I wish to end this paragraph with Mahatma Gandhi's quote and I do hope that you get the message and practice what you desire to become in life. "Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well." Mahatma Gandhi

You Are Far More Magnificent Than You Realize!


"We have magnificent brains, but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant, to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children." Patricia Sun

In past hundred years of time, human species have made a huge advancement in all areas of existence on earth. Today we have the capability to colonize the outer space and expand our presence in other solar system. These things are possible for us because humans are magnificent and brilliant. It is a good thing that you are far more magnificent than you realize. You can shape the future and the world very well if you recognize your magnificent power.

There is no such thing as a hopeless situation today. You can overcome these challenges that strike you and you can easily outperform the old generations. On the other hand, we use the same brilliance to sabotage our future and life. But why do we make ourselves ignorant and stupid when we can enjoy far greater things in life? You can apply your skills and knowledge for your good or for your own destruction. Majority of population use for keeping themselves ignorant and stuck at where they are.

Charles E. Wilson mentioned once, "Your future is still before you. Your land is a vast storehouse of mineral and agricultural wealth awaiting further development for the benefit of mankind. Its potentialities are magnificent.
" This you can't deny and can't hide from the truth because it is the truth. But we don't really believe in these vast storehouse of mineral resources and potentialities waiting to be developed and used. I always believe that humans are more capable than they actually show their brilliance. We hardly use 12% of human brains. Stephen Hawking may perhaps use his brain up to 12-13% and not all humans on this earth. We may use 2-3% of our total brain capacity. In fifty to hundred years of time, humans will be using 30-50% brain capacity and would explore the greater part of the universe.

You are magnificent and brilliant to perform any activity that you want in your life. I am sure, you will have a greater advantage in your life if you believe in your magnificence. There is no lack but magnificence. You are splendid and great. Accept and see yourself as a great and magnificent human being with unique qualities and talents and brains. Go ahead to use your brain to do good for the common people. I am certain you will be able to achieve that goal.

My purpose of writing this article is to prove to you that you are indeed magnificent and there is no doubt about it. So please let no bad situation and circumstances control you except that you rule over them and make your future potentially thriving and abounding.

Remember you are far more magnificent, brilliant and splendid than you think and believe. There is no hopeless situation because you are magnificent and wonderful enough to turn things to your advantage.

The Lack Of Money Is The Root Of All Evils Today!

"Money is the root of all evils" is an old adage and many people believe this to be true. In my opinion, money is not evil, it is only a tool to be used for living on this earth. What is evil then? The lack of money is the root of all evils today. Having money doesn't really create as many problems as we can think of. It is the lack of money that creates a lot of problems in the society, community, country and the world. The scarcity of money, the fiat money has caused so much damaged to the mankind that we can't imagine in our lifetime.

Lack of Money Kills Sick Patients.

Today there are so many patients in the hospitals all over the world suffering from all kinds of rare diseases and they don't have enough money to pay for the treatment. Many diseases could have been treated and healed by proper medication, but they lacked money and they couldn't opt for the best treatment. Many people have lost their dear and near ones just because of lack of money. They didn't have much money to pay for the expenses. Even if they are insured, the companies wouldn't pay for the full expenses and they in turn get penalized. Lack of money is killing millions of people all over the world and nobody really notices this. The government's promise to provide better health care facility and package is only a hidden agenda to serve higher clients. Lack of money is the root of all evils if you think from this perspective. Lack of money takes away precious life and doesn't guarantee anything. The best thing you can do is to become rich legally and in a good way so that you could afford a good treatment in the best hospitals.

Lack Of Money Keeps People Hungry.

Another evil that lack of money does to the society and country is that it keeps people hungry. Because of not enough money, many people in the third world countries are dying daily out of hungry. They are dying not because the food grains are not available, the foods are available bountifully. The people are dying because they lack enough money to afford them. These people have no money to buy the food and eat. So it is not the resources that are scarce or insufficient, resources are enough for all humanity in ages to come. Only resource that is lacking is the money. The world is ruled by a commodity called currency, it is fiat approved by the governments of the world and this paper money is not enough for these people. So money is not bad, but lack of money is really bad and evil because lack of money is killing millions of people all over the world.

Lack Of Money Makes People Bad and Evil.

When people have enough and more than enough money, they don't tend to do bad things. Bill Gates has more than he needs for his life time. Is he doing anything bad? Is he killing people because he has a lot of money? Is he creating diseases so that many people would die? No, he is not doing anything of these. He has more than enough and he is doing something extraordinary things through his foundation. He is helping the AIDS and HIV patients all over the world. That means money doesn't necessarily create evils. It is the lack of money that creates evil in the society, family and country. There are so many robbers, gangs of killers etc because they don't have enough money and they end up embracing evil paths to earn money. So it is clear that lack of money indeed creates evil in the society and cummunity.

Lack Of Money Creates War Between Nations.

Countries who are rich and powerful actually should not be threatening the third world countries because they seem to have everything. But why do they control and wage war against smaller nations? There is a reason. These countries may be powerful and rich but they don't have everything they need. They lack something and only way to get is to snatch from others by declaring wars. The history is full of this examples. When David in the Bible didn't have as beautiful wife as his soldier, he snatched soldier's wife and got killed the soldier. When a nation doesn't have oil, gold, drugs and other resources, the best thing is to have them by attacking other nations. Lack of money indeed creates war between nations. It is not the other way. It is a pure psychological reason.

Lack of Money Denies Enjoyment and Vacation.

People who have enough money, they can afford best entertainment, enjoyment and vacation. They travel to far away countries and visit the most beautiful places in the world, eat the best and delicious foods, stay in the luxurious suites, party at expensive places around the world, drive luxurious and expensive cars and so on. But people who lack money, they can't afford these things. So you can examine how can you get happiness, entertainment and vacation? What gives you the happiness and peace? Money or lack of money? Lack of Money has denied many people the happiness, dreams, goals, and vacation that people wanted to have once in their life time. So please don't ever say that money is the root of all evils, it is the lack of money that is the root of all evils.

Lack Of Money Leaves People Uneducated and Illiterate.

Who can afford the best universities in the world? People who have money to pay for their universities can only go to the premier universities. So it obvious that money doesn't do bad things to the people. It is the lack of money that keeps people uneducated and illiterate. Lack of money leaves people ignorant and jobless. If people can attend the best universities, they can easily find jobs because the companies who hire employees, choose to recruit the best candidates from the best universities. So lack of money is indeed the root of all evils even in the education fields. So try to amass as much wealth as you can so that you can be happy, peaceful and have a fabulous lifestyle.

Lack Of Money Makes People Homeless.

Due to recent recession, how many people have lost their dream homes. We can't think of them losing their own house which they wanted to stay in for lifetime. The lack of money snatched and took away from these people and kept them homeless. They have no shelter to stay and no money to feed on or take care of their families. How many foreclosures have taken place during this recession, we have no clear ideas and how many people are affected by this. It is the lack of money that has caused this recession, hyper inflation and collapse of modern monetary systems. Look around you in your neighbourhood and you will notice who have lost their homes. There are many homeless people today.

The lack of money is the root of all evils in the society, family, country and the world. So don't ever believe those who say money as bad and evil. Money is a commodity today and without money you can't make any transaction. May be in the olden days, people thought differently but today you have a choice to think differently too. Decide to become rich so that you can afford all good things of life and there will be less evils in the society. Money is not creating evils, it is the lack of money that is creating evils in the world. The solution to this problem is having more money so that you can afford a good lifestyle.

The Three Most Powerful Weapons Of Mass Destruction!

Every time the governments of different countries amend the laws and policies concerning many issues. The governments act like the protector, care-taker and provider of all kinds of human needs. It is good that this happens in all over the world. There is nothing wrong with the amendment process. But why can't people amend their beliefs, philosophies, lifestyles and education system when they step into new century and time? It is a big secret.

For generations people have been worshipping different Gods and follow different religions. These religions originated in olden days when majority of the followers of today didn't witness its origin or establishment but these people follow them without questioning and findings. In my opinion, just like the amendments done by the governments of the world, the religions, beliefs and philosophies should be amended to suit today's needs. These are the most powerful weapons which are causing so much damage to the human world.

The Government Organizations.
This is not the first organization that is controlling the world. It is may be the last but yet it has become important in the world today. Governments of the world profess to take care of people but in reality they don't take care of others rather they mind their own business after they are in power. They think of taking care of their own family's needs and wants rather than the citizens of the world. Out of ignorance the mass vote for the leaders thinking that they will solve the world issues. The world issues will never be solved by these people instead when you take the responsibility to change your world, you will be successful in changing a lot more than them. The Government systems are so intertwined today in human world that we feel we can't live without them. But is one of the most powerful weapons of mass destruction.

The Financial Institutes of The World
The private organizations own the entire earth. They own the land, they own the air, they own the sea and they own over six billion people on this planet earth. Financial institutes of the world are powerful organizations and they can determine everybody's future. They plan how much the employees will earn and how much they will spend and how much they will keep. Everything is predetermined and focused in order to control the masses. The masses are like sheep without a good shepherd and when there is no good shepherd the wolf can do anything it wants. The same thing is happening today in the world. The information is not able to pass to the common people and if at all information is passing, it is filtered, censored and manipulated through cable network. When people see and hear it they begin to believe it though it may be not real. So it is a weapon of mass destruction. Remember nuclear power is less destructive than financial giants. Warren Buffet said,
"Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction."

The religion and religious beliefs
Carl Marx had rightly compared religion as opium or drugs. The religions of the world have killed more people in the history than any nuclear bombs on this earth. It is killing daily because of old style of believing in Gods. The religions were started thousands of years ago and when we were not alive. Though our ancestors passed them on to us but we have every right to question its validity and truthfulness. We are in new generation and century, there is a lot technological advances and we must act, think and live like people of new developed century. Religion has intoxicated many fundamentalists that they are perpetrating violence in the name of Gods. It is an emotional game that the religious leaders who are part of the bigger conspiracy are playing everyday. The education system is another factor that could contribute to the mass destruction.

Human beings should be free but they are not free. Today people have become modern slaves in many ways that could be easily identified. The things basically remain the same but only the names have been changed to suit the needs of the time. People are confused with complex data and information. When things are kept complicated, people lose interests and they don't want to understand. They just give in to it. These are some weapons though there are many that add up to the destruction.

Live Your Life Confidently & Courageously!

"Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence." Vince Lombardi

It is said that action breeds confidence and courage and at the same time inaction creates fear, being dependent on others too creates fear. So how to live your life confidently and courageously? There are ways to live your life with confidence and courage. You must act and try to be independent.

Yesterday night, my wife's aunt died of a heart attack on the way to the hospital. She was declared brought dead by the hospital. The children didn't know what to do other than to cry and weep for their mother. My wife's aunt celebrated her daughter's birthday with her family and after dinner around 10pm she felt restlessness and uneasy to breathe. She began sweating and then they decided to take her to the hospital and unfortunately she couldn't survive leaving her loving husband and wonderful children alone.

She managed her house very well looking after all family members. She was a perfect woman of praise, admiration and love. Today was her funeral service. It is
dark and uncertain for the family. They were dependent on their mother so much. But they must learn to live confidently and courageously. Sometimes life knocks us very hard to be responsible for every aspect of life.

This family must overcome the grief and take up the responsibility to shape their lifestyle as they want. Every day thousands of people die of different illnesses and many families have to grieve for the loss. For some loss is very big and costs a lot but while others manage to get by in life.

The point I want to make here is that no matter what is the circumstances, people must learn to have confidence and courage. At first there will be on confidence and courage but as the week and month pass, they have to assume a great responsibility. The confidence and courage will come if they really understand that nothing is over yet.

I would encourage people who have lost their dear and near ones but they have no one to support or look after, they must never lose hope and inspiration to continue to live their lives. There is a universal power which can sustain and provide everybody what we need on this earth. Have a hope and take action to look for positive points. Live everyday as a normal day and things will improve.

Procrastination Is An Insane Disease!

"Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy." Wayne Gretzky

Procrastination is deadly. It kills people's dreams. It doesn't allow the dreams to be realized. Majority of people are victims of procrastination so much that their chance of accomplishing something in life has been stunted. Make an observation around the place and you will notice how people are putting off things easily without much consideration. It pays a lot to put off things for another day.

Procrastination is indeed a disease and it is depriving people the lifestyle they deserve. People procrastinate things because they don't know the value of time and they don't know how to divide their time. People must seize and enjoy every bit of their activity that has to be done at a particular time. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination must creep in and you must never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. There are many people who are the victims of idleness and procrastination.

Almost everybody was affected by this disease of procrastination some time or the other. So everyone knows what pain it gives to people when they put off things for another day. I used to be a victim of this disease. I would put off things for another day, week, month or year and still I couldn't start off and finish things. It was bad and I hated it. The procrastination was killing my dreams and assassinating all the opportunities that were coming on my way. I decided to take action and heal myself from procrastinating. When I took action and began to finish the things on the same day, a new feeling of confidence grew within me and I found it was a great feeling. I loved it and then on nothing has stopped me ever.

I would truly recommend people to stop procrastination because you won't get anything by putting off. The precious time is not waiting for you and your age is not remaining the same. You should never allow this disease to influence and take control of you. At least start something which you like to do and do it everyday, may be you can paint, or sketch something or train your voice. Once there is momentum, you will be led to do the activity daily because it would become a habit for you.

Many dreams and goals have been killed and buried by procrastination. Procrastination is contagious and it can affect anybody who is not strong and focused. It makes easy things hard and hard things still harder. But if you decide to do something regularly, you can make hard things easy to do joyfully.

If you don't value and consider yourself and time important, you will always tend to procrastinate things.
"Until you value yourself, you will not value your time.
Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it" ~ M. Scott Peck So it is important that you value yourself and time.

You may delay things but the fact is time won't wait for you. The best way to get something done is to begin and you must continue after you begin. For majority, doing nothing is a habit and they won't change because they are used to it. But it takes courage and conviction to break the habit of procrastination.

Procrastination sabotages your life and dreams. So better watch carefully and do it right the things which you want to do. I am sure you can heal yourself from this disease. You can overcome easily, if you do your work daily. Of course, procrastination is a grave where your dreams can be buried but you should never allow it. Do the things today and complete rather than putting off.
