- Your income can grow only to the extent you do
- If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.
- Money is a result, wealth is a result, health is a result, illness is a result, your weight is a result. We live in a world of cause and effect.
- Thoughts –> Feelings–>Actions–>Results TFAR
- When the subconscious mind must choose between deeply rooted emotions and logic, emotions will almost always win
- If your motivation for acquiring money or success comes from a non-supportive root such as fear, anger, or the need to “prove” yourself, your money will never bring you happiness
- The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change our level of financial success “permanently” is to reset your financial thermostat.
- Consciousness is observing your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past.
- You can choose to think in ways that will support you in your happiness and success instead of ways that don’t.
- Money is extremely important in the areas in which it works, and extremely unimportant in the areas in which it doesn’t.
- When you are complaining, you become a living breathing “crap magnet”
- There is no such thing as a really rich victim!

Traders :Don’t Blame the Market or Others
- When pain surfaces, if you are honest and in touch with yourself, you will own the upset and seize the opportunity to release that internal reality — to forgive! Pain functions to inform us of our errors.
- False forgiveness is based on the belief that others are responsible for what we feel, and therefore it tends to reinforce that error. To forgive others, in this manner, for what happens in your mind leaves your pain intact and the opportunity to heal is lost.
- Making use of every opportunity to heal is an important decision you can make and that decision will immeasurably accelerate your process.
Prayer of Forgiveness
Hilal searches for inspiration on the golden walls, the columns, the people coming at this hour of the morning, the flames of the lit candles.
– I forgive the girl I was, not because I want to become a saint but because I do not want to endure this hatred. This tiresome hatred.
This was not what I expected.
– You may not forgive everyone and everything, but forgive me.
– I forgive everything and everyone. I forgive you because I love you and you do not love me. I forgive you because you reject me and I am losing my power.
She closes her eyes and raises her hands towards the ceiling.
– I am liberated from hatred by means of forgiveness and love. I understand that suffering, when it cannot be avoided, helps me to advance towards glory.
Hilal speaks softly but the acoustics of the church are so perfect that everything she says seems to echo throughout the four corners. But my experience tells me that she is channelling the spirit of a child. (more…)
Forgiveness
One of Napoleon’s soldiers committed a crime — the story doesn’t tell which crime — and he was sentenced to death.
On the eve of his execution, the soldier’s mother implored that the life of her son be spared.
“Dear lady, what your son did doesn’t deserve clemency.”
“I know,” said the mother, “If it deserved, it wouldn’t really mean forgiveness. Forgiving is the capacity of going beyond vengeance and justice.”
As he heard these words, Napoleon reduced the soldier’s death sentence to exile.
Law suit? Porn addict? Divorcing? Seeking investment ideas? Worried about the world?-Just Spare 5-10 minutes to read this sermon
Jesus of Nazareth was a Jewish carpenter that was born about 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem, which is now a Palestinian city located in the central West Bank about 10 kilometers south of Jerusalem. Over the course of a very short period of time (about a year) Jesus developed a large following as a miracle worker and religious teacher. He was publicly executed by crucifixion around the year 35, and many millions believe the historical narrative that he was raised from the dead after three days in a tomb, and later ascended into the heavens.
Below is an English translation of one of Jesus’ very famous outdoor lectures, which was widely shared by his disciples that were present, and eventually written down circa 70-90.
If you take 5-10 minutes to read this sermon, then you will know what being a Christian is actually supposed to mean.
I like to read this first thing in the morning, immediately followed by a few minutes of meditation where I sit quietly listening. I would not expect everything in the reading to speak to you, but I believe something will, as is always the case for me.
