This week’s phrase is “Hurting for money”.
Have you heard this? People who don’t have enough money sometimes will say this. But what are you really saying?
“Hurting” = pain
“For Money” – Getting money
So, this tells your subconscious mind that you have to have pain in order to get money.
This contradicts all we teach. You do NOT have to hurt or experience pain in order to get money. Prosperity (in all fields, not just wealth) is easy and is yours by Divine Right!
See if this is your belief. Were you brought up thinking you have to struggle and work really hard and have pain in order to be prosperous.
If this is buried inside you, create your denials (such as “there is no pain in or around my financial affairs” or “I do not have to hurt in order to get money” etc). Say these denials for at least a week and see what else comes up (and create denials for whatever comes up).
Then use your affirmations after that. If you can’t come up with a personalized one use “Wealth and prosperity is mine by Divine Right and it comes to me easily and quickly”.
You do deserve everything and can have everything. We just have to peel that onion away.

What’s Being Recorded In Your Subconscious?
By · Comments
As there is 1 1/2 more weeks left in January 2012, I continue to point out things that might have derailed you from your 2012 Success List. If you make it through January still on track, you’ll have a great chance of accomplishing your “successes”.
Emmet Fox wrote about “The Dictaphone” and I think that’s worth discussing today.
He proposed an imaginary experiment. Suppose that without your knowledge an invisible dictaphone was strapped to your shoulders the first thing tomorrow morning. You carry it with you all day long and every word you said was recorded. Tomorrow the recording was played back so you could hear every single word that you said. If you’re an average human being you’ll probably be a bit embarrassed. Think what would happen if the dictaphone also recorded every THOUGHT you had as well as every word you spoke.
Your subconscious mind absorbs EVERYTHING you think and say. Remember what I like to say “You are what you thought”, not really what you think. It’s what went into your subconscious before now that has molded your being and experience.
I emphasize that you need to monitor all your words – both spoken and thought. This is one of the most common reasons for “failure” in achieving your “Successes”. You set out with great intentions and do the groundwork of denials and affirmations but then go right back to your old ways of thinking and acting – using the same old phrases and thoughts – many of which are downright negative or have negative connotations. That will derail you as surely as quitting your pursuit. That’s why I’m emphasizing the “Words of Wisdom” series of posts. See what phrases we use in life on a daily basis, analyze what they mean and then wipe them from your vocabulary.
There is no way around it. You have to pay attention to what you’re saying and thinking. I suggest you get a small notebook you can carry in your pocket or purse and write down everything you hear and think as it happens. Then each night review this list and note the ones you want to eliminate and also think about the reason you need to do that. This will help you identify other phrases and thoughts you want to get rid of too. Things such as “I’m fed up”, “I’m sick and tired”, “You’re killing me”, “I can’t afford to….” etc.
Work on this for a week and see what changes in your life.

Today I wanted to discuss another set of words that can derail you very easily – it’s “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”
What does that tell you? It tells me that if you’ve learned certain things, you can’t learn anything new.
How foolish is that – both to believe about others or worse yet, to believe about yourself.
You can always learn new things. I was so proud of my mom when she was 80 years old and wanted to learn how to use the computer to email and write letters and even play games. She surely was what is considered an “old dog” but she wanted to learn new tricks.
I find this phrase both insulting and limiting to me (I’m old…ha ha). But it’s also a sign of laziness. Sometimes you have to take more time to try to teach those new tricks to an old dog.
In my “dog” experience I’ve found it easier to teach my older dogs than when they are puppies. Maybe that’s because they are Siberian huskies though – a stubborn breed to say the least.
Wipe this phrase from your mind. It will serve you to explain why you might not be able to achieve some of your “success list” if you let it seep into your thoughts. It’s very much saying you can’t learn or teach others to come along the path you’re showing.
You CAN learn new things and you CAN influence others to learn new things. Do NOT make excuses anymore.

In Spite Of
By · CommentsHere’s a great Emmet Fox post:
Success consists in the overcoming of difficulties. All men and women who have made a success of any kind have done so by overcoming difficulties. Where there are no difficulties to be overcome, anybody can get the thing done, and doing so cannot be called success.
There was a time when laying a telegraph line from New York to Boston presented many complicated changes. Then there was a time when doing that was easy, but laying the Atlantic cable was a great achievement, because of the perplexing areas which had to be overcome. Later on, marine cable laying became a routine business, but radio across the ocean presented problems which for a time seemed insurmountable. Then those difficulties were overcome too.
There are no personal areas that cannot be transformed by quiet, persistent, spiritual treatment, and the appropriate wise activity.
If you have a personal experience that seems to keep you from success, do not accept it as such, but capitalize it and use it as the instrument for your success.
H. G. Wells had to give up a dull underpaid job because of ill health, so he stayed at home and wrote successful books and became a world-known author instead. Edison was stone deaf and decided that this would enable him to concentrate better on his inventions. Beethoven did his work in spite of his deafness.
Theodore Roosevelt was a sickly child and was told he would have to lead a careful retired life. He was a very short-sighted and nervous little boy. Instead of accepting these suggestions, however, he worked hard to develop his body and became, as we know, a strong husky open-air man and big game hunter. Gilbert wrote Pinafore on a sick bed, wracked with severe pain.
The owner of a fashionable dress business in London started with northing but good taste in clothes and a belief in prayer, and is a wealthy and successful woman today.
Whatever you think your disadvantage is, capitalize it. Spiritual treatment and courageous determination can overcome anything.

What You Expect
By · Comments
As we continue with our 2012 Success List I wanted you to read this post on “What you Expect”.
All of our lives we have put in our expectancy that we couldn’t do it ourselves, that somebody outside of us had to help us, had to give it to us. That God sitting on the mountaintop had to help us.
We should be saying, “Wait a minute, God’s stuff outside of us is the energy force, the life force, the divine substance of the universe.” And this divine substance is what responds when we say “OK”. That’s all we have to say. We have to accept the ideas that come in, and we keep saying that I am the will of God in action, versus, I don’t want to do my will, I want to do God’s will.
If we say, “I don’t want to do my will, I want to do God’s will”, then we are separating ourselves from God. And yet Jesus told us, “All things I do, you can do also, and even greater.” The same Christ that was in Jesus is in us. That is the divine substance that we talk about. That is the Christ itself, that is the individualized Christ. The individualization of God in human beings.
Now, when we get that in our mind and we realize that there’s something in this world that is giving us ideas, and every time we brush it aside or say we can’t, or we don’t know how, or we don’t want to do that, or it’s too much, it’s too hard, it’s too whatever, then we push that idea away.
This is what’s so important to teach childern not to ever say, “I can’t” but to always say, “Show me how. Show me the way. Show me what I can do. Show me the next step to take.” Any of these things that open up, give you that expectancy with you keeping your eye on the goal. The expectation that that goal is on its way to you, and pulling it in closer and closer and closer. The ideas that we have are ours to do, to be, to accept. When we allow ourselves that freedom to do that, we take out all of the negative. It’s like a clear tunnel that we can go through with no interferences.

Or not wisdom perhaps. You all know that the one thing we preach over and over again is to watch your words (and phrases). This is so vital now at a time when you’re working on your success list! You can sabotage yourself without even knowing it. You have to be extremely conscientious about what is coming out of your mouth, what is going on inside your skull and even what you are letting in your ears (from others). You have to be the monitor. Learn to say “That is not my truth” whenever you hear, say or think something that is contrary to your desires.
This week’s “words of wisdom” phrase is
“You can’t win ‘em all”.
How often do you hear this phrase? Quite a bit I bet.
What does it tell your subconscious mind?
It tells it that you cannot win everything. Do you want to believe that? Do you believe that? Of course you don’t. You want to win every challenge you’re involved with. You want to win everything. That will make you successful. It’s not greedy. It’s an attitude of wanting to succeed and that’s what we are all about here. So, eliminate that phrase. When you hear it said, simply say “That is not my truth, I can AND DO win them all! I am a success!”

The Mirror of Your Mind
By · Comments
Still working on your Success List? Having problems, perhaps, figuring out what you want to be or what qualities you want to embrace? Take a look at this system and see if it will help you with your planning. January should be a month of preparation. Ideally December should be that month but everyone is so busy with the holidays (although this should be a part of the holidays) that they don’t have time for anything else. So, continue to use January to figure out where you are and where you want to go.
One of the best ways to take a look at the things in your life that you wish to change this to look at others around you. Try this exercise. Write down a list of 3 to 5 people depending on how much time you have that are in your life right now. Next to each name list of qualities that you like about that person, and the qualities that you don’t like about that person. Another way to do this is to list 3 to 5 people that you don’t like that are in your life right now. And on a separate list you can list 3 to 5 other people that are in your life that you do like.
Regardless of how you decide to do it you now have a list of qualities that you can take a look at. How many of these qualities are qualities that you see in yourself ones who really hone in and force yourself to take a deep look at yourself.
People come into your life for a reason. Once you identify the qualities about these people you’ve attracted you can either work to eliminate the bad qualities in yourself that these people are mirror and; or you can work to even augment the good qualities that you see in yourself.
Remember that we are in control of our lives. We’re in control of how we behave, what our attitudes are like, what our thoughts reflect, and most of all what other people see in us. So use the reflection of others in your life to help you mould who you want to be. in fact this is a good way to create a checklist for yourself. Use this checklist in the daily weekly or monthly basis to see where you’ve come in your goals of improving certain qualities in your life. You may not have to develop qualities. You may just have to refine them and it’s a lot easier there already and you but you just have to make their manifestation better.
I write this from experience because it happened to me more than one time. Often a new person will come into my life and it’s a person that I’m not ecstatic exactly ecstatic with. When I write down a list of persons qualities and then I’m very honest with myself, I see myself as if I’m looking in a mirror. however this is been the most important time of my life because it gives me the opportunity to examine qualities that other people see in me, and change the things I want people to see. What’s funny is as soon as you adequately change or modify those qualities that person begins to fade from your life. If you look back over your life you can see how this is probably been the case with you if you’ve paid attention to what that person supposed to mean in your life.
Just as a reminder list 3 to 5 people in your life and write down the good qualities in the bad qualities you see in them. Take a deep look at yourself and determine if these are qualities that you have. If they are to choose to keep them what you want to change. Start working on yourself and then repeat the process and perhaps 3 to 6 months. See enough either that person is no longer in your life or perhaps that person is changed as well.
