Creating Abundance
by, Corey Wells

Why is it in today’s society so many are unable to achieve their abundance? The reason is because they don’t possess the proper mindset. They are continually worrying about what everybody else has instead of concentrating on their own wants and desires. To change this mindset they need to first establish a clear view of what they’re thinking. Most people are not aware of the negative beliefs that are automatically being generated in their own subconscious.

How can your thoughts have an affect on the people and experiences in your life? That’s where the law of attraction comes into play. This law basically states that your thoughts impact your view of things and determine whether negative or positive people and experiences will be attracted to you. If you are depressed and inundated with negative thinking, then negative people and experiences will be attracted into your life. The law of attraction implies we are basically big magnets that draw either positive or negative events depending on how our mindset is focused.

Most people hold the mistaken belief that there is only so much abundance to go around. 90% of the world’s wealth is controlled by only 5% of the population. You can bet those folks are well aware of the law of attraction! Isn’t it time you decided to join them?

Start by changing your mindset to see the positive in all situations. The more you do to create positive energy in your life, the more abundance will start to flow your way. There are abundant opportunities for everyone. So purge your negative mindset and replace it with a positive attitude and a world of abundance awaits.

Let’s get started.

  1. “The purpose of life is a life of purpose.”
    -Robert Byrne
  2. ”I deny nothing, but doubt everything.”
    -Lord (George Gordon) Byron
  3. ” a man who doesn’t dream is like a man who doesn’t sweat: he stores up a lot of poison.”
    -Truman Capote,
  4. ” Our most important task is to transform our consciousness so that violence is no longer an option for us in our personal lives, that understanding that a world of peace is possible only if we relate to each other as peaceful beings, one individual at a time.”
    -Deepak Chopra,
  5. “I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainty that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
    -Agatha Christie,
  6. “To what extent is any given man morally responsible for any given act? We do not know.”
    -Alexis Carrel,
  7. ” Turning points always seem so sudden and absolute, as if they have come bolt out of the blue. That is
    not true, of course. A whole slow process goes into their making.”
    Azar Nafisi,
  8. “Whenever evil befalls us, we ought to ask ourselves, after the first suffering, how we can turn it into
    good. So shall we take occasion, from one bitter root, to raise perhaps many flowers.”
    Leigh Hunt,

The Courage to Be Rich
by, Corey Wells

It takes a lot of courage to become rich. Anybody can sit around and think about being rich and hope that one day it will come to pass. However, only a few actually rise up and take the actions necessary to become wealthy. But we all want to be rich don’t we? So why isn’t everybody pursuing this goal? The answer is fear! The same fear that allows us to come up with excuses about why we can’t do something we really want.

So how can you overcome this fear? Well, first you have to acknowledge that it exists. Without admitting that the fear is present, the fear continues to be in control. Deep down inside, we all know it’s there. It makes its presence known in the negative self-talk we hear all the time in our heads. “I’m not smart enough to be rich” or “I can’t handle the responsibility that comes with wealth.” After we admit that we have this fear, we can begin to turn it into something positive. Take this opportunity to use positive affirmations to mute the pessimistic voice of fear. Whenever you hear the negative self-talk tell yourself, “I am smart enough to do this”, “Responsibility comes easy to me.” Once we learn to squelch our fears, we are ready to face the challenges ahead with a positive attitude and we’ll no longer fear the possibility of being rich.

One thing that holds people back more than anything else is the fear of success. The fear of success is really the fear of change. Sure we want to be rich and we want to live the life we deserve, but there’s something that’s holding us back. There’s something that’s preventing us from making that one extra call or pushing ourselves to do the activities that will lead to success.

Why do we fear change, even if it’s positive change? We fear change because we fear uncertainty. We fear the unknown. You may consciously believe that being rich will be a fantastic way of life, but your sub-conscious may have a different attitude. You may have sub-conscious fears that because you are rich people will want to steal what you have or there may be more responsibilities. You may believe that this means you’ll have to pay more taxes and you’ll have to give up more of your time. These are legitimate concerns that your sub-conscious will try and protect you from. Don’t let the fear of change stop you from leading the life you deserve, stand up to this fear and move forward with what you know is right.

Fear is a very powerful foe. But we can all beat it if we have the courage to try. You owe it to yourself to summon every ounce of courage you have in order to defeat your own demons and to finally live the life you deserve.

Let’s get started.

  1. “The plain fact is that man is not ruled by thinking. When man thinks he thinks, he usually merely feels; and his instincts and feelings are powerful precisely in proportion as they are irrational.”
    -Nicholas Murray Butler
  2. ” A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself.”
    -Robert Burton
  3. “There is no road or ready way to virtue.”
    -Sir Thomas Browne,
  4. “Try to put your happiness before anyone else’s, because you
    may never have done so in your entire life, if you really think about it, if you are really honest with yourself.”
    Margaret Cho,
  5. “He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a
    scholar.”
    Chuang-tzu,
  6. “He with whom neither slander that gradually soaks into the
    mind, nor statements that startle like a wound in the flesh, are successful may be called intelligent indeed.”
    Confucius,
  7. “Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.”
    ROBERT FROST,
  8. “An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject and how to avoid them.”
    WERNER HEISENBERG,

Procrastination
by, Corey Wells

Procrastination and the resulting frustration it causes can be a problem in business, as well as life. The main reason we end up postponing duties or tasks is simply because we don’t enjoy doing them. However, there are some simple things you can do to avoid falling into the procrastination trap.

It is always helpful to define what goals need to be obtained. Once you know the desired outcome, determine what you need to do to make it happen. Then create a realistic deadline. After the goal is defined and the time line established, you need to set priorities and establish an achievable deadline for each necessary activity. If needed, subdivide larger tasks into smaller more doable actions. Complete each task prior to moving on to the next.

Getting started is always the hardest part. It’s easier if you start with the smaller tasks first. You’ll gain needed reinforcement each time you complete one of these tasks. Creating visible reminders like lists or notes and displaying them where they are easily viewed will help you maintain focus. Making commitments can be very inspiring. Tell someone (spouse, friend, coach, etc.) when you expect to complete a task and ask them to hold you to it.

Finally, be sure to take enjoyment in your achievements. Every time you complete an action give yourself a reward. If you can get enjoyment out of what you’re doing, procrastination will be a thing of the past.

Let’s get started.

  1. “You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can’t keep that which belongs to someone else.”
    -Edgar Cayce
  2. ” Living, just by itself –what a dirge that is! Life is a classroom and Boredom’s the usher, there all the time to spy on you… “
    -Louis-Ferdinand Celine,
  3. “Do but take care to express yourself in a plain, easy Manner, in well-chosen, significant and decent Terms, and to give a harmonious and pleasing”
    -Miguel de Cervantes,
  4. ” And after all, what is a lie? ’T is but The truth in masquerade.”
    -Lord (George Gordon) Byron,
  5. “An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.”
    -Lord Chesterfield,
  6. “Virtue is not the absense of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate ting, like pain or a particular smell.”
    -G. K. Chesterton,
  7. “History never repeats itself ,as most people fear. People usually repeat history.”
    -Divine Chikobvu,
  8. “As soon as you begin to believe in something, then you can no longer see anything else. The truth you believe in and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.”
    -Pema Chödrön,
