The Building Blocks of Wealth & Abundance

Transcription

1 The Building Blocks of Awareness Did you ever play with building blocks as a kid? Believe it or not, to discover wealth and abundance in your life you can once again play with building blocks. The building blocks I am talking about are just a little bit different; however, the theory is quite the same. The building blocks you use throughout my exercises involve awareness and focus and building one upon the other. Once you have awareness, use your emotions as your indicators and take action. Wealth and abundance beyond your imagination will be on its way to you. The idea of building blocks came to me as I was trying to explain to my mother how thoughts ultimately create the outcomes you desire in your life. I used the idea of being in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight. Everything below the surface of the water represents your unconscious or the non-physical plane, while everything above the surface represents your consciousness or the physical plane. The key to achieving the goals you want out of life lies with bringing the non-physical to the physical. To do this, I have developed a technique called the Building Blocks of Awareness. Each building block builds upon the other as you start to accomplish your goals. Here s how it works. The first thing you must do is become aware of your thoughts. Most of us do not realize how little focus we put on our accomplishments or the things we want to achieve. For example, if I said to look at the following, what you your immediate conclusion be: Penny, Nickel, Dime, Half Dollar, Dollar, Five Dollars, Twenty Dollars, Fifty Dollars, & One Hundred Dollars (or 1, 5, 10, 50, $1, $5, $20, $50, & $100). I bet your first reaction to that list would be to say, Hey! Where s the quarter and ten dollar bill? All I did was tell you that there was 1, 5, 10, 50, $1, $5, $20, $50, & $100, but your mind automatically looked for the missing money denominations, 25 & $10. I believe the majority of us do the same thing with most aspects of our lives. A good portion of our time is spent on focusing on the negative or what is missing in our lives. The building block approach will help you train your mind to think differently. It is the first step to achieving your preferred outcomes. 1 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

2 Each time you have a single thought, picture a building block coming out of your head and landing in the water and sinking to the bottom. As you focus more on that thought or outcome, more building blocks are stacked on top of the first one you created. When enough thoughts or building blocks are stacked on top of each other, the very thing you sought after breaks through the surface and appears in the physical world. The catch is that the Universe doesn t care if your thoughts are positive or negative. Think of the Universe as a big YES machine. Whatever you put in, the answer is YES. This means that if you put in negative thoughts, the answer is always YES. So, you really have to be careful about what you think about. There is a shortcut to achieving your goals faster than ever. The key is to make each building block taller, and thus it would require less of them to reach surface. There are four components to raising the height of your building blocks: 1) Self Esteem, 2) Thoughts, 3) Feelings, and 4) Actions. If you practice these on a goal or outcome with focus and intention, you will get results. Let s break down all four components and see how they are related. Self Esteem I believe that you can achieve your desired results with lower self esteem, but if you want to super-charge your building blocks, high self esteem is one of the key components to making it happen. This means that if you have high self esteem, you will be more likely to take risks and stretch yourself. Just reading this information is a little uncomfortable for some of you. If you believe in this approach, you must accept responsibility for the results in your life. People with low self esteem will typically second guess every move they make and not listen to their own intuition. For me, having high self esteem has led me to achieve more than I thought I was ever capable of. If you do not have high self esteem, I suggest that you find a book or CD on building self esteem. Thoughts I love the saying from Mike Dooley, Thoughts become things. While thoughts themselves do not create things by themselves, they are the first 2 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

3 step. Everything that was ever invented or created originally started with a single thought. Think about that for a moment. It is up to you to decide if you are going to focus on what you desire or what you least want. One thing I need to say here is that you need to be very aware of your own vocabulary, because if you have a negative vocabulary, chances are you are also having negative thoughts. They both go hand-in-hand. So, become aware of your thoughts and choose to focus on the very thing that you wish to have in your life. Feelings or Emotions When you put feelings or emotions into a thought, you super-charge your building blocks by making them ten times taller. A great way to help with your emotions is to visualize the outcome. If you would like more money in your life, picture yourself already having it. As you do this, where would you be living? What car would you drive? What kind of stores would you shop at? What charities would you donate money to? Visualize as much as you can and when you answer the questions above, notice how it makes you feel. Each time you have a positive feeling when doing the visualization, realize you just made your building blocks much taller, and the Universe will respond with a Yes! What you desire is on its way. Action Can you get what you wish for by thoughts and feelings alone? I say no. I say this because as you stack up a bunch of building blocks, they tend to get less stable the taller they get. To avoid them tumbling over and falling back down to the sea bottom, you must use action. Action is the glue that keeps the blocks together and stable. I love something James Ray said on the Oprah show. He said, You can meditate until they come and take your furniture away. Nothing could be truer. The cool thing about this is that you took action by reading this far. I believe that we are constantly given inspiration to act, but most of us want the easy way out. I can tell you that when I left my executive job in corporate America to focus on helping others, it was the most terrifying thing I had ever done in my life. I had had a steady job everyday since I was 10 years old and never had a time without a paycheck coming in from somewhere. When I left corporate America, I was living well and enjoying steady money coming to me twice a month. However, for nine months my gut 3 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

4 or intuition was telling me to leave my corporate job. At first I wouldn t even give it much thought. As the months went by, I knew that if I was serious about helping others I couldn t wait any longer. The very day I turned in my notice, doors started opening up all over the place, and I believe this was a direct result of my willingness to take action. I could have (and actually contemplated it for awhile) ignored my intuition and waited several more months or years to ensure the timing would be right. But the coolest thing happened when I was only two weeks into my new career. I had already generated my monthly income. YES! In just two weeks I generated my monthly income AND I only worked a total of five days those two weeks! When I took action to leave my comfortable corporate job, it was as if the Universe said, Bill, I can see you are serious. Since you are really determined, how about I pull a couple strings for you. Now I truly believe that the Universe is conspiring to help me achieve my dreams. Start generating wealth and abundance of your own by doing the building block exercises below. Don t wait any longer. Start now. Start today, and by taking action, you will start realizing your dreams for financial freedom. How to start your Building Block exercises: Meditate or quiet your mind for 2 minutes before starting. For the next 3 minutes: o Reflect on the Building Block. Notice how you feel about it and what emotions are tied to it. What positive emotions or feelings could come out of the experience? What actions come to your mind as you think about applying the Building Block for the day? o Repeat the Building Block thought again and again, slowly, as you consider its meaning in your life. o Put yourself in a state of thankfulness. Have an expectation that great things are going to happen during the day. o Picture a positive wealth & abundance event taking place in your near future. It is very important to visualize it and notice the positive feelings you associate with it. Remember, positive feelings = taller building blocks, which in turn = quicker results. o Start your day doing this and repeat before going to sleep at night. 4 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

5 Throughout the day, you can use a piece a paper with the Building Block Exercise script on it. Put it in your pocket or purse and read it often during the day Building Block Wealth & Abundance #1 Today, I am a powerful magnet for wealth and financial freedom. I see and FEEL money with unlimited abundance flowing to me with ease. As you go through your day, try to keep you mind open and positive. Anytime a thought of poverty or lack comes up, say (out loud if possible), Thank you for sharing. I am a magnet for loads of money and abundance. Extension of Building Block Wealth & Abundance #1 Some people believe that wealth and abundance are only tied to financial gains; however, I am here to say that you will need other types of wealth before you realize true abundance. Think about it for a minute. Ask yourself, what is the main reason you need more money? And if you had it, how would you feel? I suggest that you look very closely at the feelings you would have if you had all the money you ever desired. Sit back and visualize what you would be wearing, where you would live, what you would be doing, and how this new windfall of money would affect you and your family. I can tell you that it took me quite some time to realize that true abundance comes from within first. It is not until you find grace, peace, joy, and happiness do you find permanent monetary abundance in your life. I told myself during each "poverty moment" that if I could just make a little more money things would be perfect. What I found over the years is that the additional money I made was always the exact amount I needed to "survive." It didn't matter how much or how often I made money; the end result was the same. But that was then, and now I m completely different. I was able 5 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

6 to completely turn my financial life around by making two simple, but substantial changes in my thoughts. 1) I asked God how I could serve, and 2) I decided to maintain a knowing in my heart that I had enough and that it wasn t just enough to survive, it was more than enough for me to enjoy the things in this world. Once I made the shift in those two areas, my life took drastic changes both on an emotional level as well as a financial one. Happiness came often. Peace came with that. Joy shortly followed, and when I started serving, grace soon followed. Now I am in complete awe at how easy it was to attract wealth and abundance. If you struggled today: Chances are that if you struggled today, it was due to negative thinking. For me it was difficult the first time I started to be aware of my negative thinking. The magnitude of my negative thinking was news to me since I always thought of myself as a very positive person. As soon as I started to become aware of my negative thoughts, I was able to replace them with positive ones. To this day, when I have a negative thought, I immediately say, Thank you for sharing. I will then follow up with a positive statement that completely contradicts the negative thought. The more I do this, the less I have negative thoughts. If you want wealth and abundance in your life, you need to rid yourself of negative and what I like to call, poverty thinking. Start by doing the Wealth & Abundance Exercise a minimum of seven days straight. Follow that up with the next building block, Wealth & Abundance #2, for the next seven days. Change your current thoughts and your FUTURE thoughts will change. 6 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

7 Building Block Wealth & Abundance #2 Today, I am infinite, powerful, and positive. I see my future filled with more wealth and abundance than I can even imagine now. Today is your breakout of the rut day. After doing the abundance exercise above for seven days, the next seven days are going to have you attracting wealth and abundance on a different level. If a negative thought comes up during the day, repeat the exercise statement three times. End with, Thank you for sharing. I am realizing my full wealth potential. Extension of Building Block Wealth & Abundance #2 Believe it or not, there is absolutely no way you can imagine the amount of money that is waiting to flow into your life. If you knew, you would probably pass out with excitement. There are no limits to what you can attract, but you first must get yourself into a state of attracting. Having negative thoughts about money and wealth is normal, but it is not OK to do nothing about them. You have to change the negative thought to a positive one. When you do, you are taking steps to attract wealth and prosperity into your life. The most powerful thing I do daily is practice affirmations. To illustrate the power of affirmations, I had been looking to land a job in another city for over four years. I literally sent in thousands of resumes and applications only to get a few interviews that never led anywhere. That is until I learned about the power of affirmations. I started by making a list of ten things that I required in my new job. I read through my list three times a day, and each time I would picture myself as if I had already gotten my new job. Within a couple of months, I got my first interview and then a month later, landed a job with every one of my ten requirements. Here are a few affirmations to help get you started: I AM a powerful magnet for money and happiness. I AM a powerful magnet for my desires. Oceans of money flow to me now. I AM deserving of abundance and happiness. I AM worthy of all the magnificent things I create. I AM one step closer to creating my desired income. I AM dedicated to creating abundance in all aspects of my life. 7 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

8 I AM aware of my thoughts and feelings. I AM achieving financial freedom day by day. I AM hearing the messages the Universe gives me to help me achieve the wealth and abundance I desire. I am taking action on every inspiration and am amazed by the number of ideas that flow to me. I say my affirmations before I get out of bed in the morning. I then say them again anytime a single negative thought comes up. Try this process for seven days straight and ask yourself if you feel any different at the end of the 7 th day. I bet the answer will be very clear if you can manage to be dedicated enough to try this experiment for a full week. If you struggled today: If you are having trouble with this exercise, ask yourself why. What are your beliefs about money? Have you always been told that Money doesn t grow on trees? Were you told growing up that the only way to make a good living is to work hard? Take a few moments and fill in the following blanks: Money is Wealth is Abundance is Prosperity is Rich people are I deserve money because I deserve wealth because I deserve abundance because I deserve prosperity because 8 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

9 Study your answers carefully. If there was a single negative statement in any of the statements above, re-write it below with a complete contradiction to your original answer. Money is Wealth is Abundance is Prosperity is Rich people are I deserve money because I deserve wealth because I deserve abundance because I deserve prosperity because For me, changing my poverty thinking was one of the most difficult things I ever accomplished. I realize that this may have been a side effect of my upbringing; however, when I started to take full responsibility for my financial state of affairs, my life changed drastically. I believe that what you focus on expands, and as I constantly thought about not having enough or having just enough, guess what? That is EXACTLY what I got, either not enough or just enough to cover my expenses. It did not matter if I got an unexpected five figure bonus; somehow it would slip right through my fingertips. What changed so that I could experience wealth and abundance in my life? It was actually quite simple. I changed my beliefs about money. I realized that I had self-limiting beliefs that significantly affected my ability to attract money into my life. I have learned that the only limit is that there are really no limits at all. I could never have fathomed where or how all this 9 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions

10 money and abundance came into my life, but I KNOW that I consciously attracted it. I also know that attracting money and wealth is not just a coincidence. When I accepted that I was responsible for my level of abundance, my life took off like a rocket. It all started when I changed my beliefs about money and began trusting in my intuition around financial matters. As I did this, more wealth and prosperity flowed to me with ease. BONUS Exercise: Wealth & Abundance Focused Exercise For one month, put as much focus on bringing wealth & abundance of all types to you. As you put your focus on being abundant, wonderful things will start showing up in your life. And when they do show up, always accept them with gratitude. By focusing on all the different types of abundance, more is destined to show up in your life, as long as you do not focus on lack. I was able to use affirmations (and still do so everyday) to help me achieve abundance in my life. Try the abundance exercise from my book, 7 Days To Inner Peace: The Building Blocks of Awareness to get you started. Read the following at least 7 times each day for 7 days straight: I am a powerful magnet for all things I desire. I see and feel money, love, and happiness flowing to me like waves of the sea. Journal at least 7 days during the month about your experiences. Journaling is a very potent tool and acts as its own form of affirmation. It tells the Universe that you are serious about your work. I journal every single night and suggest you do the same. Do not wait until tomorrow. Start today and live the life of Wealth AND Abundance you deserve. 10 Copyright 2008 positract Solutions
