Lack Mentality: How To Ensure A Life Of Poverty, Stress And Unhappiness

“There’s just not enough money!” they shout. “I’m struggling  just to keep my head above water” they say as they stare down at their bank statement. They are people who live within a lack mentality. Broke, stressed and always worrying about what’s around the next financial corner. Some people only know what it’s like to worry about money…how to pay the bills, afford food, maintain the car, etc. These people usually cling to jobs they can’t stand just so they can have a paycheck each month. What these people can’t see is that having all the money in the world but hating your daily life is no way to live. They dream of retirement, vacations and holidays just to get a break from the stress and pressure of the 9 to 5 grind. “But there is no other way. It’s this or starve” they would say and that is exactly how a person with lack mentality thinks.

There is an alternative, though. You can travel along the road to riches and actually enjoy every step of the way…once you begin to see through the filter of an abundance mentality. You see, money is really a side effect of living your passions and loving your life by expressing your natural talents. Having that kind of joyful experience every day is the true wealth and money simply comes along for the ride as a physical manifestation of your happiness. Have you ever wondered why most unhappy people don’t make much money? And, no, it isn’t that they’ re unhappy because they don’t earn much. For most people, it’s actually the other way around.

We create from the inside out. What is inside becomes a physical expression in the world around us. Hold fear in your heart and you will find more reasons to be afraid. Hold anger in your heart and you will find more reasons to get angry. Hold unhappiness in your heart and you will find more reasons to be unhappy. See how it works? So let’s ask the following question: would a happy person attract a job he or she hates and pays little money? Only if that person defines happiness as hating their job and being broke! In truth, a happy person will attract a job/career that is fulfilling and pays well and as he or she thrives within that career, more fulfilling experiences and financial gain will flow into their life.

You were born with certain talents, skills and abilities that are meant to be joyfully expressed and shared with the world. The more you can do this, the more pleasant your life will be and as long as you don’t have limiting beliefs such as “what I love to do won’t support me”, you will find that financial abundance (and all kinds of other pleasant things) will seek you out. So be yourself in the best way you know how and let the world see the gift that you are.

To your success and happiness!

A Powerful Money Prayer

Money is a complicated issue in our society. Many negative beliefs have been attached to money and, to some extend, most people feel unworthy of having much of it. However, I would like to present a different perspective on money. One that I hope will change your mind and open you to the results of a powerful money prayer I wil share in this post.

All things are energy, including money. Money has no motives or desires. It is simply a tool that can fund wars or build hospitals. Some of us have heard the expression “Money is the root of all evil” and maybe those individuals still believe that on some level. However, this expression is incorrect. The real quote is “The love of money is the root of all evil.” It is greed that causes people to use money in disastrous ways. Once you come to terms with the idea that money is neutral…simply a tool to be used like a hammer or a screwdriver, you can begin to set aside your “issues” about having more of it.

To pray for more money, we have to first understand that prayers of supplication (begging and pleading for something) hardly ever bring results. If you come to a prayer with the attitude of “I don’t have this and I’m pretty sure I’ll never get it so please, please, PLEASE give this to me” you can expect dismal results.

Instead, you have to shift your attitude to one of power. We are all co-creators of our experience and our thoughts, feelings and words are very powerful. Speak (pray) as though you have the power to create something real in your life. Know that your words are bringing into reality your desire. Expect as strongly as you do when you go to bed at night that you will wake up in the morning that what you’ve prayed for will come. You might be thinking “But waking up tomorrow is one thing and getting more money is another.” I would like to point out, though, that you have no guarantee that you’ll wake up tomorrow; you just assume that you will. You’ve seen that every day for the past x number of years you’ve woken up and you see no reason to believe that you won’t wake up tomorrow but where’s your guarantee?

The same is true with money or anything else you wish to bring into your life. The difference, though, is how you approach the situation. Rather than assume that the money will come because you’ve called it to you, you choose to assume it won’t because it hasn’t so far. This mistake of assming that the past produces the future is what leads to so many failed prayers.

If past results truly indicated future performance, you would never have learned to walk. There was a point where all you could do was fall down each time you took a step. If you had decided that this was going to be the result each time you tried to walk, you’d still be crawling around on your hands and knees. Instead, you adapted and changed your sense of balance and there came a point when falling wasn’t the norm; in fact it became a rarity. So don’t assume that becuase money has been hard to find before that it must continue to be that way.

Now for the prayer:

Relax and release any tension in your body. Let your mind relax as well.

Imagine the exact amount of money you need or want to come into your life.

See it there

Now speak out loud these words or words similar to them- “I claim that the amount of _________(state the amount you want to come to you) is in my hands by _______ (give a specific  time and date. Example- Noon on Saturday, May 9 of 2009).” Now see that amount of money in your hands. Know that it is there. Now honestly give thanks and release the idea.

Releasing means not to obsess over it or decide how it’s going to happen. Simply trust that the result will come about.

The Power of Feeling Good

This article comes from guest-poster Song Chengxiang. The principles he presents here are age-old but they are life changing.

Today I am going to share a powerful lesson that you can use to immediately achieve any success you want in your
life. And I promise you that if you do what I suggest you do, your success is guaranteed.

You will have everything you want in your life and enjoy the total fulfillment that you deserve. Remember this…
there is no limit to what you can have, be and do. Every thing you can imagine, you can achieve. And you are going
to find out how to do it now…

Feeling excited? Let’s play a “what if” game. What if you could ask 100 of the most successful people in the world
whether there was a single magic secret to success? What if they told you there was? What if they all gave you the same
answer? Are you willing to do what they suggest you do?

Well I don’t know what they will tell you, but I do know, from years of studying the most successful people, that
there is one single most important factor that contributes to more of their success than any other factors combined,
and anyone can use it to achieve his success no matter who he is, or what his current conditions are.

You must be eager to know what this secret is. Let me tell you now.

Listen Up!

The single most important factor for successful people is simply feeling good.

If success is really that simple, then why are so many people struggling?

That is a good question. We have been taught that in order to achieve something, we have to suffer first. It has been
said, no pain no gain. But I tell you this …That is ABSOLUTELY false.

Look at the life of a highly successful person. Is he suffering, is he struggling? If he is, then I can assure
you that he is not successful in the area that he is struggling against. He may look successful in a certain
area, but very unsuccessful in others. Have you ever seen a multimillionaire who is suffering from bad health? Why does
that happen? He has all the money he needs to hire the best doctors in the world, why is he still suffering from ill
health?

Here is what‘s really happening…

He is highly successful financially, because he feels really good about himself in the financial area; he is
unsuccessful physically, because he feels bad about his health.

The point I want to make is this. If you notice someone who is extremely successful in one area, then you will be
certain to notice he feels great about himself in that area. He has been conditioned to feel good in that area,
just like most people have been conditioned to struggle in some areas of life.

If you are still not convinced, perhaps you can think of it this way. How do you define success? It is certainly not
just about setting a goal and achieving it. That is important, but it’s only part of the story. Success in my
definition and in most successful people’s definition is about enjoying a state of well-being in every moment of our
existence. It all comes down to a state of feeling good.
You may not agree with me, you may consider success as having a million dollars in your bank account; you may
consider success as being famous as a public figure. Then let me ask you a question: “why do you want a million
dollars?”, or “why do you want to be a famous person?” If you think hard about this question, you will find that all
you want is simply to feel good.

Here is the big mistake that most people make. They think they are going to be happy once they get that million
dollars, they think they will be happy once they become a superstar. But when they reach that goal, they feel a
moment of excitement, and finally they realize that that is all there is. And then they set a higher goal, and wish
they will be happy once they reach that goal. They will never be happy as long as they don’t change their approach.

Then what is the right approach?

Since your ultimate goal is to feel good, then why not choose to feel good right now? How do you do that? It is
simply by choosing to feel good at this moment. It is as simple as that. People have spent great amounts of money
searching for techniques and strategies to make them successful, but they forget that the most powerful tool is
the most fundamental; it is simply feeling good.

You may say “it is easier said than done, how can I feel good if I am broke?” If that is how you think, here is my
answer to you… There are only two kinds of feeling we experience every day. One is feeling good, and one is
feeling bad.

Good feelings send a powerful signal to the universe, and through the law of attraction, you will attract people,
circumstances and events to match your state of feeling good. Bad feelings also send a powerful signal to the
universe to bring back people, circumstances and events to match your state of feeling bad.

Have you seen that?

Feelings are the causes, conditions are the effects.

You cannot get away from being broke if you are feeling bad. You only reinforce the cause.

So begin to feel good one way or another, no matter what conditions you are in.

At the moment you choose to feel good, amazing things will happen.

If you don’t believe me, try it. You have nothing to lose.

Psoriasis Help

This blog post has nothing to do with metaphysics or spirituality but it does address a disease that affects an estimated 125 million people world-wide, including myself.

Psoriasis can be tough to live with and many treatments offer little and often short-lived improvement . I have dealt with moderate psoriasis for many years and I’ve tried everything from medication to getting more sunlight only have to be disappointed in the results.

However, I recently came across a different treatment that really has made a difference for me. For the first time in many years, the dry, rough, itchy skin is gone and the red spots look more like pink areas…and this is only after 3 weeks. This is by far the best treatment I’ve used for my psoriasis and I’m very please with it. Will it do the same for you? There’s an 80% chance that it will.

I have had psoriasis on my scalp, legs and left arm for nearly 10 years. I have tried various treatments from various dermatologist-recommended medications, to getting more sunlight and, though I saw short term improvement, nothing has really helped my psoriasis long-term. Toward the end of 2008, however, I read an article by Dr. David Williams that offered new hope.

According to  Dr. Williams, the latest research indicates that psoriasis is a metabolic error that interferes with the body’s use of fumaric acid–a natural substance produced by every cell of the body. Fumaric acid deficiency leads to incomplete compounds that result in the skin lesions found with psoriasis. Fumaric acid is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight (why getting more sun helps) but people with psoriasis seem to have a defect preventing them from producing enough fumaric acid.

Thirty-five years of research from  Switzerland, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands has shown supplemental fumaric acid to be very promising in treating psoriasis. In fact, one study of 70 psoriasis patients showed an 80% decrease in severity over a four month period. Another study of 285 patients showed 80% of  those using fumaric acid along with dietary changes saw a reduction in severity–with 52 patients experiencing complete disappearance of lesions.

Unlike many therapies, the long-term effects of fumaric acid have been studied. Researchers in the Netherlands investigated its safety and effectiveness with follow up studies of up to 14 years. They evaluated 66 patients who were using fumaric acid for an extended period of time and though 73% reported very mild side effects (flushing, diarrhea, nausea) they were not problematic enough to stop the therapy. The researchers concluded, “The present study indicates that fumaric acid can be considered as a safe, long-term treatment in patients with severe psoriasis.”–Br J Dermatol 03;149 (2):363-369

Having tried everything else, I decided to give fumaric acid a try. Following Dr. Williams’ recommendation, I ordered a month’s supply of fumaric acid from Vitamin Research Products ($26.95 for 90 capsules) and followed the dosage schedule outlined by Dr. Williams. He suggests starting with one 500-mg capsule a day taken in the evening with a full glass of water, milk or tea. Remain at this dosage for 1 week. If you notice improvement in your skin remain at that dose. If not, increase the daily dosage by 500-mg (1 capsule) each day for another week. At the end of that week, if you see improvement, remain at that dose. Continue this process until you see improvement. The maximum daily dosage is 3,500-mg (7 capsules).

Once your skin clears completely, you can slowly reduce the number of capsules but if your skin begins to erupt again, return to the dose you were once at. Since psoriasis is a metabolic disorder, long-term treatment may be necessary to keep it under control.

Dr. Williams does say that fumaric acid can lead to mild, temporary gastrointestinal discomfort, a flushing (warm, tingling) sensation in the neck and shoulder area but I have personally not experienced any side effects from the fumaric acid. Also, fumaric acid lowers the PH level of the digestive tract, which can lead to better digestion. However, if you find the extra acidity a problem, you can take the capsules with milk or tea (no coffee since this increases acidity).

I began taking 1 capsule each day for a week and I noticed that the dryness and scaliness of my psoriasis lesions had disappeared. The redness had also subsided tremendously so that they look more like slight discolorations rather than angry red spots. I did move up to 2 capsules a day simply because I felt it would help. I’ve been on fumaric acid now for 3 weeks and I only have 2 small areas that are slightly rough feeling. The lesion areas are now smooth like the rest of my skin and the discoloration is improving each week. I am truly amazed at the results I’ve had in such a short amount of time.

The Fumaric acid treatment can also be supplemented by some minor dietary changes. Eliminating pork, alcohol, strong aromatic spices (pepper, cinnamon, mustard, nutmeg, ginger and cloves), walnuts and peanuts (including peanut butter). Once the lesions have cleared completely, you may systematically re-introduce these foods to your diet to see which ones, if any, lead to a flare up. Also, adding Omega-3 oils (flaxseed, fish oil) can improve psoriasis symptoms.

If you suffer from psoriasis, I highly recommend you try fumaric acid capsules. They are the only thing that has really helped my psoriasis and they might make the difference for you, too.

Will Smith on Law of Attraction

I really like Will Smith and think he has a good handle on how to create his life as he wants it. Here he is discussing Law of Attraction and the power of thought.

Wake Up! Reformat Your Mind

I really like this video and thougth I would direct your attention to it:

The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is a universal law that enables us to create our reality as we see fit. For most of us, the idea of getting what we want just because we want it flies in the face of our life experience but, as we will see later, this is based on limiting beliefs and negative thinking. For now, though, let’s look at what the Law is.

The universe is vibrational, meaning that everything in existence has a particular vibration or frequency. Physics tells us that, at their core, things are composed of atoms and these atoms vibrate at a particular speed, depending on what the object is. Denser objects such as metal and stone will have a slower frequency than less dense objects such as water and air.

We can get a better understanding of this by looking at water and its various states. When water is in liquid form, its atoms vibrate at a certain speed, which is what makes it so fluid. When energy, in the form of heat, is removed from the water (cooling it down) we see the atoms vibrating at a slower and slower rate until the water becomes ice. So what gives ice its solidity is the slower speed at which the water’s atoms are moving. If we add energy, in the form of heat, we see the atoms speeding up and the ice becomes a liquid again. If we continue to add heat, the atoms move faster and faster until the liquid becomes a gas (steam).

The Law of Attraction (LOA) says that things of like vibration are attracted to each other; this is different from magnetism, where opposite poles are drawn together. We can actually see examples of this vibrational attraction in guitars and tuning forks. To illustrate, let’s assume you have two guitars, 1 and 2. Guitar 1 has only one string and it is tuned to the note C. Guitar 2 has two strings, one tuned to C and the other tuned to A. If you place guitar 1 near guitar 2 and pluck its string, the C string on guitar 2 will begin to vibrate but the one tuned to A will not. The reason the C string is vibrating is because the sound waves emitted from guitar 1 are the frequency of “C” and the C string on guitar 2 is a match to that frequency. Put simply, like attracts like.

The same is true of everything else in the universe, including thoughts and feelings, which is how we as human beings create vibrational frequencies that attract certain people and experiences into our life. In part 2, we’ll look at how you are using LOA unconsciously to attract experiences you don’t want and how you can start to use it consciously to bring to you things you prefer.
