TO A BEAUTIFUL PERSON

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He listens.
He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose ... your heart.
Face it, friend, He is crazy about you!
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without
rain,
But He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light
for the way

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What You Think Upon Grows
by Stephanie West Allen

A magical maxim is WYTUG. You can remember WYTUG because it
sounds like "Why tug". So many of us are tugging at our
life, trying to pull it along as if it was an obstinate,
stubborn, headstrong mule. Why do that? Your life can be
like the old children's song:

"Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream."

Read on to make your life a merry one full of all that you
have dreamed.

Known For Centuries

WYTUG is an acronym for What You Think Upon Grows. That what
you think upon or focus upon increases is not a newly
discovered fact; many have known it since at least as early
as the writing of the Bible (Phillippians 4:8).

Many more since then have written about this simple and yet
profound principle -- Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill,
Agnes Sanford, Dale Carnegie, Joel Goldsmith, to name just a
few.

Our thoughts are very powerful; they are our mental magic
wands. What we dwell upon becomes our reality. This simple
fact is what makes our thoughts so powerful. If you cast
your attention upon poverty, you will attract poverty into
your life. If you think about illness, you will get sick.

No matter what the situation -- health, wealth, peace,
happiness -- thinking about the negative side will get you
more of the negative; concentrating on the positive will get
you more of the positive.

Too simple, you say? It may be simple but it is not easy.
Watch your thoughts for a half day. How often do you think
of the good and the positive, and how often of that which
you fear or do not want? Many of us think much more about
the bad things in life and imagine these fears coming to
pass.

Not a good move! Fearing a thing invites it to become
manifest in your life. Think miracles instead. Wonderful,
enchanting, golden miracles.

Fear, Fear Everywhere

Why do many of us find our thoughts drawn not to the
wondrous, the marvelous, the triumphant, but to the
pessimistic, the fatalistic, the creepy?

Perhaps it is because we are told so often what to fear --
diseases, interest rates, crime, foods, chemicals,
addictions, politicians, violence, road rage (and all the
other rages du jour). One potential fear after another.

Regardless of what messages we may be hearing out in the
world, we can hone our magic wands, our thoughts, so they
bring us a good and joyful life. Our thoughts are actual
things and they have a very tangible effect on what we get.
We have the choice to think fear thoughts or fortune
thoughts.

The Golden Key To Happiness

What do we do when we are having thoughts about things we do
not want to attract to us? Say we are concerned about our
finances and fearing our lack of money. Fearing something
invites it.

Okay, so what do we do instead? We think about what we want
instead of what we are fearing.

Perhaps we do not know what we want? Surprisingly, this is a
problem with many people. You say to them, "Here is a magic
wand. You can have anything you wish." They do not know what
to wish for.

Until you know what you desire, here's a simple alternative
method when you find yourself thinking of things you do not
want. Emmet Fox describes the Golden Key: "Stop thinking
about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God
instead." Fox says that this Golden Key will get you out of
any difficulty.

For those who do not believe in God, think of wisdom, truth,
love, joy... something powerful and good.

Sometimes the thought of things negative are so persistent
you do not seem to be able to use the Golden Key.

Sarah was very upset at a person, too upset to turn to any
lofty thoughts at all. As she filled a glass with water at
the sink, her eyes rested on a spice bottle. She began to
appreciate the red letters that spelled out 'Cayenne
Pepper.' By turning to the red of the letters, she was able
to lose the thoughts that had been upsetting her.

If you are overwhelmed with negative thoughts, find anything
positive in your environment, no matter how seemingly
trivial, and use it as your Golden Key.

The Simple Truth

Distill, purify, and refine your thoughts and you can have
that of which you have only dreamed before.

"Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream."

 

 

Achieving Self-Mastery
By Randy Gage

How do you achieve self-mastery? Mastery comes from
confidence. Confidence comes from experience. Experience
comes from practice. Practice comes from commitment. And
commitment comes from vision. Please read that last
paragraph again. Then do the arithmetic backward and you
have a roadmap to success. And notice that it all starts
with vision.

Every thing that manifests in your life is a result of the
vision you have for yourself. Everything. One of the
common mistakes people make is to say things, like, "But I
don't really have a vision."contraire ... EVERYONE has a
vision.

Now it might be a positive vision, it could be a negative
one, or it may be a neutral one. Now you may wonder, how you
transform a neutral or negative vision into a positive one
.... Glad you asked.

First, and you knew I was going to say this, programming is
important. If you're watching three hours of sitcoms on TV
every night, it's highly unlikely that you're ever going to
believe in a positive vision for yourself. Likewise if
you're reading the daily newspapers, hanging around with
victims and attending a church that beats you up every week.

So of course you need to be exposed to positive programming,
in the form of uplifting stories, positive reinforcement,
spiritual nourishment, mental and physical challenges and
the like. Next, you must make your goals real to you. And
this can be easier than you may think.

If your goal is to be the number one producer in your
company, just having a chart showing that on your Dream
Board will go a long way toward making that the case. Every
time you walk past it, your subconscious mind sees you
listed in the number one slot. After enough times, that
doesn't seem so audacious anymore. In fact, it starts to
seem quite normal.

If you don't own the audiotape album "Crafting Your Vision,"
get it today! It is a collection of twelve different
experts, all sharing their thoughts on vision and goal
setting. I'm one of the contributors, as is Mastermind
Council member Lisa Jimenez. This album is simply a "must
own" for anyone who is serious about manifesting great
things in their life.

I mention it now because of a very relevant technique you'll
learn from Richard Brooke in his tape. Richard recommends
that you write a movie script of the vision you want to
manifest in your life. So going back to our earlier example,
you would write a script about you becoming the number one
producer in your company.

It might be the day of the company convention where you are
given the award. The key in writing this is to involve as
many senses as possible. So you might talk about the birds
chirping when you woke up, and the roar of the crowd as you
are introduced. You could mention the smell of the tea you
sip in the morning and the lilacs that are drifting in your
window.

You might write about the delicious taste of the lunch you
ate on the way to the convention hotel. You would describe
the huge hall where the convention is being held, and the
details on the stage. You would describe the heaviness of
the trophy you are handed, and the warmth of the handshake
from the company president as she awards you the honor.

Once you write this script, you carry it around in your
planner, purse or briefcase. Then when you have a few
minutes on the Metro, in line or on your lunch hour, you
read a little of it.

Because so many senses are involved, it resonates with you
deeper. And the deeper it does, the more of an imprint it
makes on your consciousness. Once you have a vision really
anchored with you, you just naturally want to achieve it. So
you commit to doing the things that make it happen. Along
the way to Mastery, I've discovered two insights that seem
to hold true in the pursuit of Mastery in all fields and at
all levels.

Once you accept and integrate them into your plan, you are
well on the road to Mastery. Here they are... Number one,
practice is the time to think, and plan, and analyze. Not in
the Championship game. You practice because you build
"muscle memory." Think about soccer players. They didn't
need to think, aim, or direct their kicks on goal
consciously. They see ball, kick ball.

It is an instinctive reaction, built up over hundreds or
even thousands of hours of practice. They don't have fear or
self-doubt; they simply do what they do best. When you're in
the big game, you don't want to be having to think, question
or analyze. You want to be able to relax, have fun, and let
your training (practice) take over. In the case of Self-
Mastery, the situation is no different.

How you respond when the business deal doesn't go your way,
your marriage faces a challenge, or you're faced with an
ethical dilemma is determined well ahead of time by the
programming you've chosen, the wisdom you acquired, and the
self-discipline you've developed along the way. That's why
some of those people walking by the café seem so confident.
They've done the work on themselves so they don't fear life.
They embrace it, celebrate it, and revel in it.

Yes, they have setbacks, challenges, and even defeats.But
they have enough confidence in themselves to know that
defeat is a temporary setback, and failure is never final.
Unless you want it to be. Now here is the second insight
I've learned along the way. You can't look good and get
better at the same time.

The first time you throw a baseball, ballroom dance,
pronounce a new language, hammer a nail, paint a picture,
build a bookcase, or serve a tennis ball you look silly!
Disjointed, unsure, or even ridiculous. Good. You are
starting truly at a place of learning.

The only way to be good, is to practice a lot of times while
you are bad. Like I tell new speakers, the only way to be a
good speaker is to do a lot of mediocre speeches. And after
you do enough good ones, you will do great ones. And after
you give enough great ones, you will be able to do world-
class ones.

If your vision is strong, and your commitment is real, you
don't worry about looking silly in practice. You have enough
belief in yourself to put up with the cuts and scrapes or
the snickers and snide comments or the sweat and toil to
move another step closer to where you want to be.

Even when you hit the plateaus... Which we all must face. It
is just a reality of Mastery that you don't move forward
continuously. In fact, sometimes it's necessary to advance a
little, plateau, fall backward, go forward and plateau again
before you breakthrough to the next level. It's a just a
part of the process. And once you've experienced this
enough, you develop confidence. Belief. And conviction. And
once you've got this, you are well on the road to true
Mastery.

And in any area, the process is the same. You don't end up a
Master. You achieve a level of Mastery, at which you really
start the higher learning. Mastery is not a place, but a
process. A continuous one that includes many plateaus and
setbacks along the way. In fact, if you are not facing
setbacks and having some minor failures, you really can't be
moving forward.

So here are some ideas for consideration.&First, evaluate
yourself. What kind of vision do you have for yourself? Be
honest. Is it positive, neutral, or negative? Do you have
different types of vision for different areas of your life?
Look for incongruence here.

For example, you may have a vision of greatness for your
bowling team, but think you will always be a low level
bureaucrat all your life. You may see yourself as a
successful CEO, but in a lifeless marriage. Or you may see
yourself as active and healthy, but struggling financially.

Evaluate if the areas of Mastery you are moving forward
include the way you make a living. Will Mastery of the
things you're doing, lead to prosperity in your life? In ALL
areas? Give these things some thought. And change your
strategy, based upon the answers. Then you'll be on track
and on target, to achieve Mastery in the areas that matter
most to you!
