See? It is backwards. We Do, Have, Be instead of Be, Do, Have .

What is wrong with this? It leads to a never ending, vicious cycle. There is always more stuff! We all want desperately to just Be . If our Being depends on Having we are all in trouble. There is always more stuff! Bigger and better houses, cars, clubs, clothes, boats, airplanes etc.... To get this stuff we need more income, which means we must be Doing work harder and longer at jobs we didn't particularly like to begin with.

What is answer?

Be who you are first. Define top four values for your Self. I will send you a worksheet if you email and ask for it. Define what success is for you! Again, I will be happy to send you a worksheet. With your definitions in hand, begin to make conscious choices on every single opportunity based on your values and your definition of success instead of someone else's. Over time you will find your life reflecting who you are.

Do what you love. This takes time to understand. What did you love to do as a child? What are your dreams now? What are you passionate about? Each of us is here for a reason. When you understand this reason, and follow it with all your heart, an amazing thing will happen.

You will Have what you need. You might not need all stuff you have. When you are fulfilled Being who you are, and you are busy Doing what you love, there is a Universal energy standing by so you Have what you need.

Be ready! You might not need what you have!

Quotation of Week

"When you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn."— John WesleyEvangelist (eighteenth century)

Have someone make a video presentation of you with your goals - detailed, then do theirs! Have fun with this. Watch videos of rich and famous. Experience everything!

Goals like cars or boats, or winnebagos - to dealerships, get in, take pictures, smell them, feel upholstery, go for a test drive, sit in them, close your eyes and visualize you in it, feel emotions rising up, those you hold onto, go see them as often as you need to - get it in focus, and maintain your high levels desire

Dream Homes - get home magazines, real estate papers, architectural magazines, any publications that are relevant to your focus, immerse yourself totally!

Go to open houses, new home models, take pictures when you can, and you will come across something that fires you up.

Go to places like Home Depot, find everything you want, inside and outside, go to furniture store, pick out furniture, just like you want - visit these places as often as needed, with everything, take pictures, feel feelings, as if you already are in possession of it all! Lock in that thought.

Travel Goals - pick up brochures, read magazines and books pertaining to places you want to go, things you want to do and see there.

Talk to travel agents that take a lot of trips to those areas that interest you and seek inside story on places to take in while you're there.

Make a budget for all you want to do and have during your stay, and imagine you are already there and ready to go!

Make up score cards and update them frequently so you can see your progress towards each goal.

See in your mind's eye how you are making it. Immerse yourself in it! Have it on your mind always. Look for every opportunity to concentrate your power on getting it.

The human brain is most awesome instrument for creating what it focuses on. Keep what you want front and center, and your subconscious mind will go to work for you and show you way! And remember that you can only think one thought at a time, so make it a thought that serves you.

There are many ways to get your internal fires burning. Find out what works best for you. This is enough to get you started for now.
