What is on Your Prosperity Wheel?

Are you aware that Your Thoughts become things?
The more you think of something, the more likely it will enter your life.

This works equally well for positive and negative things
If you think over and over, “I will have fun tonight!”
Guess what? You WILL have fun tonight!

This process has a special name, its called:
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

If you really want to manifest something in your life, it is more effective to
write down this ‘goal’  rather than “just thinking about it”
It will be even more effective if you write it on something that you will see every day

Say you really want a New Car? or an exotic holiday? or a new special Partner in your life?

Get a colour picture of your ‘goal’ (a car; holiday or special partner) together with a colour picture
of yourself and stick them on the wall in a prominent place where you will see it every day

You have just made A Prosperity Wheel

That is a very basic Prosperity Wheel but it is a very good start

The next phase it to add pictures of all the other thing you desire;
put them in a circle with your picture in the middle

Yesterday I thought about adding an image of a Song Thrush to my Prosperity Wheel
because we haven’t seen any Thrushes near us for years.

Image via Wikipedia

This morning a Song Thrush was feeding on our lawn

I hadn’t got round to adding it to my wheel, I just Thought About adding a picture of a Song Thrush
(I must have my camera ready tomorrow morning in case it reappears)

Can you manifest anything and everything with a Prosperity Wheel?

The next thing is “The Universal Disclaimer”

Meditation is not an option these days

If you want to survive in the 21st Century
You  have no option    -   You have got to Meditate

If you spend just 1 minute Meditating every day

Maybe after you WAKE up - but before you GET up
Or when your Head is running too fast

Meditation will help you get your head into gear and you can take on the world

Meditation helps with many things: it can help you de-stress, become more self-aware,
and it can even reduce your sensation of pain.

A new study has found yet another benefit:
meditation helps you tune out distractions
even when you are not mediating!

Here is a very good video to get you started

The video is a plug for a book called One-Moment Meditation
but I haven’t bought it yet (I will)
until I’ve read it, I don’t know if it really works.

When I’ve read the book, I will review it here

‘Positive Thinking’ seem to be the buzzwords of the moment.

The Law of Attraction will make it all drop into your lap?

When you watch films like “The Secrets,” you are told, all you have to do is: use Positive Thinking and think about what you want and miraculously The Law of Attraction will make it all drop into your lap?

Unfortunately, most of us live in the real world where things are not quite that simple. Without any doubt, there can be an element of positive thinking bringing real world gains but it is only a small element.  To get what you want you have to not only think positively but you must also take positive action.

Here is a delightful animated video by Barbara Ehrenreich that perfectly explains the point I’m making.  This video should help you achieve your goals by using Positive Thinking and The Law Of Attraction.  Just watch and enjoy:

Hope you enjoyed Barbara’s message and you are now going to spend your time acting positively so that there is no room in your head for negative thoughts. Your new found positive energy combined with your positive thinking will bring many positive benefits to you and all you care for.

Today I have a gift for all my regular readers

One of my most inspiring mentors; Maggy Whitehouse, held a One Hour seminar recently

Introduction to the Spiritual Laws of Prosperity.

She has produced an MP3 of this and you can get your hands on it for free from her website or from the link above, no opt-in required.

Maggy is an inspiring author, TV and radio journalist, and a thoroughly good egg! As she describes herself on her blog:

“Prosperity mentor, author, journalist, workshop leader, dog walker, horse rider, drinker of champagne, eater of good chocolate, lover of roses, peonies, sweet peas, sunsets, Tuscany, beagles, Koi carp, cooking—and her husband, Lion.

I’ve survived an encounter with an eight foot barracuda off the Barrier Reef, being swept down a river in full flood and being trapped on a narrow bridge in front of an oncoming Chinese train. I’ve ridden on the back of a tiger, emigrated to Montana, USA for a whole 11 months, been made redundant and I’ve been both widowed and divorced.”

As you can see, Maggy has lived life to the full and her Prosperity Teachings reflect this.  She has currently just completed week 3 of a 6 week course which I find fascinating:

HeartWork – Transform your hearts desire into a successful, prosperous business

If you are interested in personal development or success coaching
(and who isn’t?) you have probably been given the following advice

How many times have you been told this:

“The Best way to get on in the world, is to set your Goals;
Work out the best route or plan to achieve them
Follow that plan… and reach YOUR GOAL”

This is usually accompanied by the advice

“Think Positively”

Useful as this advice undoubtedly is,
How can You set and then reach Your Goals
If you haven’t got a clue what your goals are???

No amount of “Positive Thinking” will teach you what your goals are

Luckily, Mike Hersee has produced an easy to follow list of questions
that you should ask yourself, to discover what Your Goals are.

Here is a short video of Mike explaining it to you

I have never tried this and hopefully won’t get sick enough to try it…
but what an interesting thought and if possible amazing.
Let me know your stories on Onions.

ONIONS! 

Who Would’ve Thought?

 

 

 

 

In 1918 when the flu killed 40 million people, there was a Doctor who visited many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it, and many died.

The doctor came upon one farmer, and to his surprise,  everyone in the household was very healthy.  When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different, the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home (probably only two rooms back then).  The doctor couldn’t believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope.  She gave him one, and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion.  It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ.  She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop.  To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work… (And no, she is not in the onion business.)

The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home.  If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere…  Try it and see what happens.  We did it last year, and we never  got the flu.

If  this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better.  If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case…Whatever, what have you to lose?  Just a few bucks on onions!!!

Now there is a P.S. to this, for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues.  She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:  Thanks for the reminder. I don’t know about the farmer’s  story…but I do know that I contracted pneumonia, and needless to  say I was very ill.  I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion.  Put one end on a fork, and then place the forked end into an empty jar…placing the jar next to the sick patient at night.  It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs.  Sure enough, it happened just like that…the onion was a mess, and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago.  They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

This is the other note:

LEFTOVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS!

 

Leftover onions are poisonous!

I have used an onion which has been left in the fridge.   Sometimes I don’t use a whole one at one time, so I save the other half for later.  Now with this info, I have changed my mind.  I will buy smaller onions in the future.

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, makers of  mayonnaise.  Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family.  My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.  The guy who gave us our tour  is named Ed.  He’s one of the brothers.  Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce  formula.  He’s even developed sauce formula for McDonald’s. Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz.

During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise.  People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil.  Ed’s answer will surprise you.  Ed said that all commercially-made mayo is completely safe.  “It doesn’t even have to be refrigerated.  No harm in refrigerating it, but it’s not really necessary.”  He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set  at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment.  He then talked about the quintessential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the ‘victim’ last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?).  Ed says it’s not the mayonnaise (as long as it’s not homemade mayo) that spoils in the outdoors.  It’s probably the onions, and if not the onions, it’s the POTATOES.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions.  You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.

He says it’s not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

It’s already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put on your hotdogs at the baseball park!)

Ed says if  you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you’ll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put it on your sandwich, you’re asking for trouble.  Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

So, how’s that for news?  Take it for what you will.  I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company that produces millions of pounds of  mayonnaise every year.

Also, dogs should never eat onions..  Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

Please remember it is dangerous to cut onions and try to use it to cook the next day.  It becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

Please pass this on to all you care about.

Stamp Out Negativity…Fast!
by Darryl Hudson

You’ve probably heard that one of the most common
practices of successful people is positive thinking. But
how easy is it to really make this a practice in your
life? Sure, you’ve probably had good days where you could
keep your thoughts positive and empowering.

But what about those days when it just seems that
nothing is going right and you can’t seem to keep the
flies of negative thought from ruining your picnic? If
you’re curious about the solution to this dilemma, this
simple yet powerful strategy might be just what you’re
looking for…

Reframing Your Thoughts

The first key to stamping out negative thoughts fast
is to accept that your thoughts not only influence your
actions, but that they are also influenced BY the actions
which you take in response to them. In other words, when
you allow fear to influence you to act fearfully, that
fear is only going to grow more and more powerful.

But if you refuse to allow fear to influence you to
fearful actions, and if you choose acts of courage
instead, you’ll find that your fear will take on a
context: excitement. Think about this: biologically, the
differences between fear and excitement aren’t any
different. They both cause accelerated heartbeat, rapid
breathing and a heightening of your physical senses.

But there is an enormous difference in the frame of
mind that accompanies fear and that which accompanies
excitement, and that frame of mind is influenced by your
experiences. For example, if you fear rejection and
choose to retreat into the privacy of your own thoughts,
you’re only reinforcing what you fear through what
psychologists call “self-rejection.”

On the other hand, you choose to act in courage by
either approaching that prospect, or speaking to that
member of the opposite sex who you’re afraid of being
rejected by, you give that fear a new context. And the
more persistent you are in confronting your fear with
acts of courage, the less like fear it will seem, and the
more excitement you’ll feel.

This is the fastest and most effective way to stamp
out “negative” thoughts. Now, in case you’re thinking
that this sounds way too simple to be true…

Making the Switch

Have you ever changed your mind about something? Of
course you have…but what really changed? Most likely it
wasn’t your mind, it was your actions…and those actions
changed because your priorities changed. In other words,
you decided that a new action was more important than
your original action.

This is exactly the key to reframing your thoughts by
taking new and empowering actions. The next time you’re
overwhelmed by worry or fear, or any other kind of
negative thought, ask yourself this: “What action is this
negative thought keeping me from taking?”

If the action is stupid or if you don’t have it
planned out, then your “negative” thought might be
completely valid. It might be telling you that you need
to develop a more solid plan of action. But if the action
is something which would be beneficial to you or someone
you care about, redirect your focus to what’s really
important.

Your thoughts and emotions are influenced by what you
focus on, and the more you focus on what’s important to
you, the less thoughts and feelings of fear and worry
will hinder you from taking positive action. You’ll also
be more empowered to confront your negative thoughts with
acts of courage, and those actions will reframe your
thoughts.

TIP: The next time that you have a “negative” thought,
stop and think about what that thought
might be trying to tell you.

Most often, once you discover the source of
your negative thoughts, they lose their power to influence
you. But if you keep trying to bury them, you’ll miss the
insight that they hold, and the more persistent they’ll
become.

Earlier this evening I joined a wonderful webinar
with the lovely Rev. Maggy Whitehouse

The topic was the Spiritual Laws of Prosperity,
One of the subjects Maggy can extol on

She dispelled many myths in the hour,
especially the one that says,
“The love of money is the route of all evil”

According to Maggy a better translation would be,
“Obsession with money is A route of all the crap in your life”

Here is a one page PDF of her translation

Maggy Love Of Money

As soon as I have the MP3 of the webinar from Maggy
hopefully in a few days time, that will also be on this blog

The first time I read that FAILURE was an essential part of any success story was
whilst reading my favourite book; Napoleon Hill’s classic work, Think and Grow Rich!

Napoleon uses the language of his time which can seam rather archaic in the 21st century

However, I was grateful to discover that one of the most successful writers of the
21st century also extols the virtue of making the most of failure

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.

This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news. Luckily I was sitting down when I read your email and not half way up a ladder or tree. How are you holding up? I am surprised you managed to attend work at all what with thinking about Missy out there cold, frightened and alone… possibly lying on the side of the road, her back legs squashed by a vehicle, calling out “Shannon, where are you?”

Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
I never said I don’t like cats. Once, having been invited to a party, I went clothes shopping beforehand and bought a pair of expensive G-Star boots. They were two sizes too small but I wanted them so badly I figured I could just wear them without socks and cut my toenails very short. As the party was only a few blocks from my place, I decided to walk. After the first block, I lost all feeling in my feet. Arriving at the party, I stumbled into a guy named Steven, spilling Malibu & coke onto his white Wham ‘Choose Life’ t-shirt, and he punched me. An hour or so after the incident, Steven sat down in a chair already occupied by a cat. The surprised cat clawed and snarled causing Steven to leap out of the chair, slip on a rug and strike his forehead onto the corner of a speaker; resulting in a two inch open gash. In its shock, the cat also defecated, leaving Steven with a foul stain down the back of his beige cargo pants. I liked that cat.

Attached poster as requested.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don’t come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I am willing to overlook this faux pas due to you no doubt being preoccupied with thoughts of Missy attempting to make her way home across busy intersections or being trapped in a drain as it slowly fills with water. I spent three days down a well once but that was just for fun.

I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.

Dear Shannon,
I don’t have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend’s cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter, I kept the cat in a closed cardboard box in the shed and forgot about it. If I wanted to feed something and clean faeces, I wouldn’t have put my mother in that home after her stroke. A week later, when my friend came to collect his cat, I pretended that I was not home and mailed the box to him. Apparently I failed to put enough stamps on the package and he had to collect it from the post office and pay eighteen dollars. He still goes on about that sometimes, people need to learn to let go.
I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says “I haven’t seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?” you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.

I knew someone who had a basset hound that had its hind legs removed after an accident and it had to walk around with one of those little buggies with wheels. If it had been my dog I would have asked for all its legs to be removed and replaced with wheels and had a remote control installed. I could charge neighbourhood kids for rides and enter it in races. If I did the same with a horse I could drive it to work. I would call it Steven.

“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.”

I love that. Dale Carnegie is an inspirational fella who has changed
the mindsets of people all over the planet, for many years now.

Yes, mindset in ANYTHING you do in life is soooo important.
If your mind cannot believe that you are capable of doing something
then you will never accomplish that goal.

So this week we have a free eBook about personal development, and I was
hoping that you could spare a minute or two and just think…
think about how your mindset it, what your dreams are
do you even allow yourself to dream anymore?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years if you keep doing what you are doing
where do you want to see yourself… and how can you get there?

OK – enough from me.
