HOW TO GET THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT OUT OF THIS COURSE
The basic psychological principle you will learn in this 30-day course is that small amounts of highly focused conscious attention can change anything in your life. You are only asked to devote ten minutes of your day to these lessons, but these ten minutes will make a remarkable change in your consciousness and your life. In order to get the most out of this daily ritual, there are a few simple things that you must do everyday. Please follow these guidelines in order to receive the full benefits of this program.
1. Get yourself a new notebook in which to do your exercises. In it you will write down each day's declaration and each day's exercise. You can also use this journal to write down any ideas that come to you as you do these lessons. As well, decide at what time each day you will take the ten minutes to do these lessons. Just after awakening or just before bed is ideal, but any time during the day is fine, as long as you make a habit of doing each lesson at the same time each day.
2. Before beginning each day's lesson, take one minute to CHANGE YOUR STATE. Pretend that you have more energy than you have ever had before. Stand up, breathe deeply, and do each lesson as if there is absolutely no possibility of failure.
3. Read each day's idea and declaration, and spend five minutes really letting the truth of these ideas sink in. Even if you cannot truly believe it yet, PRETEND that you truly believe it with all your heart. For only five minutes, feel, with true emotion, that you truly believe in abundant prosperity.

4. TAKE ACTION: Open your journal and write down the affirmation of the day. Read the affirmation once aloud (if possible), then write it in your journal in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS and FEEL the truth of the words.
5. Immediately follow through with the action of the day. It is highly important to take definite, immediate action each day.
DAY 1
THIS MOMENT IS YOUR POINT OF POWER
Have you ever heard the old joke that asks “How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb?” The answer? “Just one, but the lightbulb has to really want to change!”
This may be a dumb old joke, but it is actually drenched with wisdom.
Unless you are truly prepared to change, unless you are thoroughly fed up with your current situation, no amount of self-help, therapy, or positivity will help. You now have in your possession the guide to a new way of thinking about your life: a way of thinking that stresses the idea that you can grow and that your mind can evolve to accept the prosperity that is your birthright.
Until now, for whatever reason, you have limited your enjoyment of life. It is time to leave that in the past. In the next 30 days we will sweep up the psychological debris in your mind and toss it out like yesterday's trash. There are many excuses for accepting the security of our lives, even if that security is limited and uncomfortable, but if you are reading these words you are obviously ready to take the necessary action to make positive change in your life.
How does change happen? There is only one way. You must decide that continuing to live your life in the same way will cause you more pain than deciding to put out the necessary effort to change your life.
You know very well that repeating the same limiting patterns of your life will only leave you dissatisfied. That is why you are reading this lesson. You are now ready to begin a new life. As they say, today is the first day of the rest of your life. Only you can choose the direction of your life. Today, choose growth over stagnation.
It is up to you. You must decide that you will change. You must choose change. You must realize that in this moment you have the power to choose the direction of your life. Seize this opportunity to choose growth, happiness, and prosperity.
You must begin today. Enter this moment. The past is dead. The future is a dream. It is only in this present moment that you can take the action to make the change. Do it! Do it now! Take five minutes, right now, to feel the truth of these words:
THIS MOMENT IS MY POINT OF POWER. THE PAST IS OVER. THE FUTURE IS NOT YET HERE. IT IS ONLY IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT THAT I CAN TAKE ACTION TO CHANGE MY LIFE. THIS MOMENT IS MY POINT OF POWER. RIGHT NOW, I CHOOSE TO TAKE THE ACTION NECESSARY TO CHANGE MY LIFE.
TAKE ACTION: Today's action you have already accomplished. By beginning this program you have changed the direction of your life. Remember to write down the above declaration in your prosperity journal and, if possible, repeat it aloud. Each day you should spend five minutes intensely focused on the idea of the day. Today, take an extra five minutes to feel the positive change you have now introduced into your life.
“To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions.” --William James
DAY 2
HOW TO STAY LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF THE MASSES
CONGRATULATIONS! You have made it to day two!
If you followed through with your exercise from day one, and are now prepared to follow through with day two, you are light-years ahead of 99 per cent of your fellow humans. It is very easy to want to change, and it is very easy to begin a program such as this one to encourage change, but it is very difficult to commit to change and follow through with definite action.
The fact that you are here at day two proves that you are willing to grow. Today you must commit to following through until day thirty. If you do, I guarantee that prosperity for your life is only a matter of time. And the more forcefully you commit, today, the faster you will see concrete, practical results. The simple act of psychologically committing to a new way of life will change your life instantaneously.
When you make the choice to definitely commit to making a change in your life, you begin to focus the extraordinary force of your willpower to draw towards you everything that is necessary to successfully make the changes you desire.
Properly focused consciousness is the fundamental secret of manifesting precisely what you want from life. The truth of our universe is that you draw into your life whatever you consistently think about. Unfortunately, we often allow our lives to be driven by the force of unconscious desires that were programmed into our minds many years ago. The good news is that these desires can be easily replaced with consciously directed focus.
If there is an area in your life with which you are unsatisfied, I can guarantee that you are consistently repeating negative patterns installed into your mind at some point in your past, and you have not made an effort to consciously change these patterns. Right now you have the chance to change your negative patterns regarding wealth. Right now, commit, for thirty days, to reprogram your mind in order to avoid the negative patterns of the past.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I AM COMMITTED TO CHANGING MY FINANCIAL DESTINY. WITH ALL THE EMOTIONAL INTENSITY I CAN DRAW INTO MY MIND, I COMMIT, ONE HUNDRED PER CENT, TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THIS 30 DAY PROGRAM IN ORDER TO ATTRACT GREATER LEVELS OF PROSPERITY INTO MY LIFE.
TAKE ACTION: Find a calendar. Mark the day you began this program, count out thirty days and mark the day that you will finish. Focus on this date and decide that nothing will stop you from following through until that day. Thirty days will pass whether or not you make a positive change in your life; today, commit to change.
“Those people whose aim is always low generally hit what they shoot at: they aim for nothing and hit it.” --Richard M. DeVos
DAY 3
3 SIMPLE STEPS TO UNLEASH THE MAGIC POWER OF GOALS
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD AS POWERFUL AS CLEARLY DEFINED GOALS!
This is one of the most important secrets of life in physical reality. Have you ever wished that you could rub a lantern, release a genie and have all your dreams come true? That genie lives inside your brain, waiting to be awakened by the forceful commitment to your goals.
Remember this: your subconscious mind is the servant of your conscious thoughts. You have drawn to yourself all of the events and conditions of your life according to your beliefs and decisions. And remember this, for it has been proven time and time again: whatever you honestly believe about the world, your subconscious mind will draw to you in your reality.
As simplistic as this sounds, it is true. Believe that you are poor, and you will experience lack; believe that you are blessed with prosperity, and abundance will magically flow to you. Skeptical? You should be. But before you dismiss these truths, give it a shot, for you will be honestly shocked by the results.
There are simple, definite steps to follow in order to convince your mind to manifest your desires.
1. Decide precisely what you want. The more specific you are, the easier it is for your subconscious mind to serve up what you desire. If, for example, you want a new job, decide exactly what you want to be doing, how much you will earn, and where you will work. Of course, you will always leave the details open to change, but this exercise convinces your subconscious that you are at least serious about your desires.
2. Write down your goal. The act of writing down your goal serves to clarify exactly what you want. It has been proven time and time again that people with written goals are far more successful in reaching them.
3. Repeat this goal to yourself several times throughout the day. Create a short statement of your goal which you can imprint onto your mind whenever you get the chance. Simply begin with the phrase “I am now attracting...” and add your goal to the end. Or try “I am blessed with...” and add whatever you desire. You don't even have to believe this will work. Simply repeat it to yourself whenever you have a spare moment and wait for the magic to begin.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I KNOW THAT WITH CLEARLY DEFINED GOALS I CANNOT FAIL. I WILL AIM HIGH AND I WILL HIT MY MARK. I WILL CHOOSE THE DIRECTION OF MY LIFE AND I WILL INEVITABLY REACH MY GOALS.
TAKE ACTION: Write down, specifically, one simple goal for your life that you have so far not been able to accomplish. Since we are, for these thirty days, focusing on finances, write down a financial goal for yourself. Repeat this goal to yourself each day and honestly believe that it is true. Pretend that it is true, expect that it is true, and act as if it were true.
“The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable.Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.” --Denis Waitley
DAY 4
HOW TO INSTANTLY CHANGE YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS
You have decided to change. You have committed to taking action. You have decided upon a financial goal. Now: in order to reprogram your mind to accept higher levels of prosperity, you must discover what beliefs have limited your experience in the past, and you must consciously decide to change those beliefs.
If you do not realize it already, by the end of these thirty days it should be clear: your beliefs attract to you the life you experience. It is not your intelligence, your education, or your circumstances that have left you financially unsatisfied, but your limiting beliefs about what it means to have financial freedom. Sound strange? Ask yourself these questions, and answer them as honestly as you can. Remember, nothing is hidden from your conscious mind; if you search, you will find your limiting beliefs.
What negative associations do you have regarding excess money? Do you feel that having money is a sign of shallowness, or that rich people are stingy or greedy? Do you feel that wealth will cause conflict in your life? Will it ruin some of your friendships? Would having too much money mean too much responsibility?
Whatever it is, you must find what has held you back from financial independence and you must, consciously, decide to change this belief. Ask yourself why you are not satisfied financially. What beliefs have held you back?
Try to get at your core belief about money. For example, a core belief for many people is “Money is the root of all evil.” Around this belief develop many other beliefs that would automatically fall away if the core belief were changed. You must realize that money is not good or evil, but is a tool for expressing your creative energy in the physical world.
Realize that you are a good person who will use money for the good of many. Realize that you are evolving to a new level in your emotional, psychological, and spiritual development, and that financial abundance will allow the full expression of your evolved, more expansive personality.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
MY FORMER BELIEFS WERE A DELUSION CREATED BY THE LIMITED BELIEFS OF OUR SOCIETY. I NOW REALIZE THAT MONEY IS A SYMBOL OF MY CREATIVE ENERGY, AND AS MY ENERGY EVOLVES, ABUNDANCE WILL AUTOMATICALLY INFUSE MY LIFE.
TAKE ACTION: Take two minutes to write down all the limiting beliefs you can recognize that you have regarding having excess wealth. Try to discover what your overriding, core belief regarding money is. Change this belief into a positive, and affirm the new belief for a few minutes. For example, if your core belief is “It is difficult to make money,” simply change it to “It is easy to make money.” Repeat this statement for several minutes right now, and whenever you feel a negative thought regarding money.
“The time must come when you will satisfy a need for money by steadfastly depending on the Master Self within and not on anything in the outer world of form.” --John Randolph Price
DAY 5
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE NEGATIVITY OF OTHERS
You have taken it upon yourself to grow as a human being. Inevitably you will face resistance, or the appearance of resistance, in the form of negative people and negative self-talk from your mind.
YOU MUST PROTECT YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVITY!
Avoid negative people and situations. Do not allow anyone the opportunity to douse their negative energy on you as you try to evolve. It is not necessary to explain to anybody where your new mental attitude is coming from, or where the cash is flowing from, unless they are completely supportive and genuinely interested.
Do not argue or defend your new ideas to anyone! Ignore them, and get away from anybody who cannot understand the psychological principles you are learning in this program. This is the easy part.
You must also banish the negative self-talk that incessantly occurs in your mind. Replace all negativity, criticism and self-doubt with an honest belief in your ability to change anything in your life.
You do not have to pretend that you do not have problems, or that things do not always go smoothly, but you must realize that you have the ability to solve any of your problems, and the potential to attain all of your goals. This is not blind hope, but literal fact.
The easiest way to banish negativity from your life is to have an optimistic view towards the future. Perhaps your past has been filled with negativity and pain, but there is no reason to drag this pain with you as you grow older. You have the power to make you life a positive expression of your spirit.
Realize that you have the power to change anything in your life with which you are unsatisfied. This knowledge will give you the strength to go beyond the negativity we are all surrounded by. Also, with positivity and optimism, it is much easier to turn your problems into opportunities for growth.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I WILL AVOID NEGATIVE PEOPLE AND I WILL NOT ENGAGE IN NEGATIVE SELF-TALK. I KNOW THAT I CAN HANDLE ANY OF MY PROBLEMS IF I COMMIT TO CHANGING THEM. I HAVE NOW COMMITTED TO FINANCIAL ABUNDANCE, AND SO I WILL REACH MY GOALS.
TAKE ACTION: Optimism for the future is the easiest shortcut to banish negativity. Today, create for yourself a simple, short statement of positivity that you can repeat to yourself whenever you feel doubt, or fear, or anger. A good example is “I am healthy, wealthy, and wise,” or “Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better,” or simply “Everything is going my way.” Find a statement that you are comfortable with and apply it throughout your day.
“Without doubt, the most common weakness of all human beings is the habit of leaving their minds open to the negative influence of other people.” --Napoleon Hill
DAY 6
THE POWER OF AUTOSUGGESTIONS (AND HOW TO USE THEM)
As you have discovered, the core of this prosperity program consists of the daily use of autosuggestion to reprogram your mind. There is a simple reason for this: it works! Employing positive self-talk on a consistent basis can work miracles in your life.
The reason for this is surprisingly simple, and I have alluded to it already. Your subconscious mind will faithfully draw into your experience whatever you consistently think about. This has been stated in many ways before: “You are not what you think you are, but what you think, you are,” and “You are what you think about all day long!”
Again, you do not have to believe any of this if you do not feel comfortable, but you should try these ideas out, at least for these thirty days, because they work on practical, physical levels. You are learning highly beneficial psychological tools in order to enjoy your life on a more satisfying level! Do not let your doubts, your fears, or your skepticism get in your way. Simply try it.
The truth is that you are already using hypnotic suggestions on your mind 24 hours a day. If you think thoughts such as “I am not creative,” “I am not happy,” “I am poor,” “I am unhealthy,” or any other negative statement, you are training your subconscious mind to bring these ideas into your reality. You are doing it constantly. The trick to controlling your life is to fill your mind with statements which are conducive to creating the life you desire.
The most simple place to begin is with affirmations. Not only do they have the power to instantly transform your life, but they will stimulate your mind to find ways to make these suggestions real for you. If you tell your mind “All of my needs are met,” you will instantly change your mental outlook, and this will encourage you to strive to find concrete expressions of your new beliefs. Positive affirmations are constructive directions for your mind. You have the power to use affirmations to set the course of your life. Use this power!
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I AM IMMERSED IN THE INFINITE ABUNDANCE OF THE UNIVERSE. ALL OF MY NEEDS ARE INSTANTLY MET. I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY WEALTH AND PROSPERITY. EVERYTHING IS GOING MY WAY.
TAKE ACTION: Today's action continues from yesterday. Did you find a simple statement of positivity with which to focus your mind throughout the day? When faced with negativity did you remember to use your phrase? If you did, congratulations. If you did not, please do so today. It is vitally important to have a positive, simple habit such as this with which to focus your mind.
“Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.” --Og Mandino
DAY 7
THE GREATEST SECRET OF MODERN SCIENCE... AND HOW IT WILL TRANSFORM YOUR WORLD
There is one all-important truth that you must accept if you wish to develop on the path to prosperity. You must discard the idea that the physical universe is a meaningless, uncaring, random machine, and that human consciousness is a chemical accident within this machine.
In fact precisely the opposite is true. The universe is a living, conscious, intelligent energy which manifests all physical realities. Thought, emotion, consciousness, and life are the true substance of our universe. Whereas we have been led to believe that consciousness is a delusion of our neurology, the real delusion is that a universe of such magnificence could be accidentally formed. There are countless scientific findings from the past century that point to this truth, but one vital understanding is all that we have room for in this short training program.
The most startling finding of modern science is that there is no material substance in the universe. Protons, electrons, quarks, and all of the fundamental particles that science has discovered all turn out to be various manifestations of energy and information.
Everything in the universe is a product of this ever-moving, ever-changing energy. All that we experience physically is simply an interpretation of that energy using our physical senses. So in the most practical, physical sense, everything that you experience is the result of your mind's interpretation of the energy of the universe.
This insight is the first step to true freedom and personal power. If you believe the universe is a random and meaningless place then in your experience it will be so. If, on the other hand, you believe that your mind controls the substance of your experience, and that the universe is primed to fulfill your needs, then you will meet with experiences that confirm this truth.
Your exercise today is to feel the energy of the universe. Feel it at work within your body; breathing for you, beating your heart, fighting diseases and repairing your cells. This energy flows out from your body to literally shape your world in the same way that it shapes your body.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I AM NO LONGER DELUDED BY THE APPEARANCE OF PHYSICAL REALITY. I FEEL THE CREATIVE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE FLOW THROUGH ME, AND I REALIZE THAT I HAVE THE POWER TO SHAPE MY EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD.
TAKE ACTION: Sit quietly for five minutes and feel the energy that is flowing through your body. Feel the sounds of the universe entering your brain through your ears and the stream of light entering your brain through your eyes. Now imagine that your thoughts stream out into the world in the same manner, to influence and shape events in your life. Imagine that this is literally what is happening, and consciously decide to send out thoughts of a positive, constructive nature in order to change the experiences of your life.
“You have to settle into the uncertainty of things and be comfortable with it. Never voice negativity even if things are not going well. Your world is changing, there's always tomorrow, all will work out fine in the end. Powerful consciousness about life and money is only habit. Agree to change your habits if that's what it takes.-- Stuart Wilde
DAY 8
WHY YOUR FEELINGS ARE THE GATEWAY TO RICHES
Your emotions contain the magical power to transform your creative energy into physical experience, including experiences of prosperity and wealth.
The key to transforming your beliefs, and thereby transforming your life, is to feel with true emotional intensity that the lifestyle you desire is already yours. This is not at all difficult to do. All that is necessary is short, highly focussed periods of time, utilized consistently.
This is why you are asked to spend five minutes each day focusing on each day's declaration with as much energy as you can muster. I will share other simple exercises with you to focus your emotional intensity in upcoming lessons. But today I want to reiterate the importance of putting true energy into these daily exercises, for a small but highly focused period of time.
Remember: real change cannot occur for you until you truly desire to change. Desire is the product of emotional intensity. When the pain of not changing overwhelms the pain of change, then your life will instantly transform. So today try to feel your affirmation with as much emotional intensity as you can, and try to remember these steps for the duration of this program.
1. Change your state. Stand up, breathe deeply and act as if you have more physical energy than you have ever had before. Pretend that you are filled with powerful energy. Act the way you would act if you had limitless energy.
2. Fill your mind with positive, hopeful expectation. Expect to see results. Know that you will reach your goals. Approach these exercises as if there is absolutely no possibility of failure.
3. Read the declarations aloud, at least once. Write down the declaration and dwell upon it for a highly focussed five minute period. Concentrate on your goals and feel that you have already accomplished them. Imagine how you would feel if you had already reached all of your goals. Feel it.
4. Write down any thoughts that come to you, feel gratitude for all that you already have and recommit to accomplishing your goals. Immediately follow through with today's action.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
MY EMOTIONAL INTENSITY, MIXED WITH MY DESIRE, FREES MY CREATIVE ENERGY TO BRING ABOUT ALL OF MY GOALS IN PHYSICAL REALITY.
TAKE ACTION: Today is a checkpoint. You have done a full week of committed change. Look back through your journal and feel the change that has already occurred. Realize that you are making positive change in your life. Feel good about yourself, and recommit to following through for the remainder of the program.
“Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.” --H. L. Hunt
DAY 9
YOUR DESIRES ARE THE KEY TO YOUR SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION
Your desires are directions for your psychological development as a human being. If you follow your desires, and ask yourself why you truly want the things that you want, you will find that your desires always lead to the attainment of certain emotional states.
For example, right now you desire prosperity. But what is it that prosperity will give you? Do you really want thousands of hundred dollar bills stocked away that will be the physical symbol of your wealth? Or do you actually desire the feelings you think you will have if you possessed enough cash. The answer is obvious. You do not want actual money; that is, bits of colored paper that need to be safeguarded from others.
What you want is freedom, independence, the ability to share, to solve problems, to heal yourself and others. Ultimately, you want to be happy. These are feelings, not things. These are emotional states that you desire. And why do you desire these states? Because they are the next level in your psychological evolution as a human being. You want to give more, have more, and experience more. So you should look upon your desires as positive, growth-inducing emotions.
Unfortunately, we are often conditioned to feel guilty for wanting too much. Many believe that there is a blatant contradiction between wanting to have it all and feeling empathetic to the plight of less fortunate people. Basically, we are led to believe that it is evil to be rich in a world filled with poverty.
This attitude misses a crucial truth of humanity. Evolution is an individual experience, and each individual must learn for him or herself how to manifest more of the life energy we all desire. We cannot help others by being pulled down by the “reality” of the world's suffering. Empathy does not mean you must be as sad and poor as the rest of humanity. True empathy means that you use your personal power, your hopeful energy, and your wealth to solve the situations of the world that you find unsatisfactory. Only when each individual stakes their claim to divine power can negative physical experiences be alleviated.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I DESIRE POWER, FREEDOM, ENERGY AND WEALTH. I DESIRE THESE FOR MYSELF AND FOR EVERY BEING ON THIS PLANET. I WILL USE MY PERSONAL POWER TO HELP LIFT THE STATE OF THE EARTH TO A MORE SATISFACTORY LEVEL. MY DESIRES ARE POSITIVE, GROWTH-INDUCING EMOTIONS.
TAKE ACTION: Your assignment today is to banish the guilt of desire. Feel grateful, blessed that you are in the position to draw wealth to you and make a commitment to use your wealth and power to help change the conditions of the world with which you are uncomfortable.
“One must not lose desires. They are mighty stimulants to creativeness, to love, and to long life.” --Alexander Bogomoletz
DAY 10
HOW TO BE HAPPY... RIGHT NOW!
Today is the day to stop living for the future. This present moment is all that you will ever experience, so you must learn to enjoy the present, if you are ever to enjoy yourself at all.
Too many people postpone their happiness waiting for some future goal to manifest. People decide that they will be happy “when I get a better job,” “when I meet the love of my life,” “when my children are grown,” 'when I retire.” We use these excuses, and countless others, to allow ourselves to live with less enjoyment and happiness than we deserve.
Often, after one goal is accomplished, we immediately create another, so that we are in a perpetual state of waiting for our lives to become worthy of our enjoyment, rather than simply enjoying the life we have right this instant. Obviously it is vital to keep striving towards the betterment of your life, but you must also be able to enjoy yourself while you are creating a better future.
The way to do this is to realize that this present moment is all that you will ever experience. Both the past and the future are abstractions of your mind. The only intimate, real experience is that of this moment. In this moment lies your ability to make changes in your life, including the ability to simply enjoy where you are. If you cannot be happy now, when will you ever be happy?
Fortunately, there is a simple method for enjoying this moment, and the key is awareness. Simply be fully aware of whatever you are experiencing right now. Focus your awareness on your senses, and feel the sensual nature of physical reality. Look around you, really try to see the world, and listen quietly to any sounds entering your brain.
By becoming aware of precisely where you are at this moment, your brain will shift to a more contemplative, relaxed state, and joy will naturally replace the discord of anxiety that comes from focussing on the past or the future.
When you become aware of the eternal now in which you exist, you can begin to feel the power that is available to you in every instant, and this power can be used to immediately work towards the attainment of your goals.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I AM FULLY AWARE OF THIS PRESENT MOMENT. ALL OF MY SENSES ARE OPEN TO THIS MOMENT, AND I FEEL THE POWER OF THE ETERNAL NOW FLOWING THROUGH MY LIFE.
TAKE ACTION: Focus your attention on this moment, and imagine that all of your financial goals are met. How would you feel if this were true in this instant. Feel these emotions. For five minutes, feel as strongly as you can that financial independence is yours right now, and bask in the emotions this brings to you. Enjoy this process. Whatever feelings you think you would have if your financial goals were met, feel them NOW!
“The treasure house of infinite riches is within you and all around you. By learning the laws of mind, you can extract from that infinite storehouse within you everything you need in order to live life gloriously, joyously, and abundantly.” --Joseph Murphy
DAY 11
YOU WILL GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU FOCUS UPON
Yesterday you practiced bringing your awareness into the present moment. Hopefully, you were able to feel that by shifting the focus of your mind to what is actually happening around you in this moment, your emotional state literally changed to a calmer, more appreciative level. This is the first step to using the focus of your mind. Once you feel the power available to you in the present, you can then begin to focus on how to bring about the events of your life that you desire.
The ability to focus your mind is the most physically practical skill you can develop. The simple reason for this is that the focus of your mind attracts to you the experiences that you consistently dwell upon. I realize that I am beginning to repeat myself, but it is vital that you truly understand this truth if you are committed to enjoying prosperity in your life.
The part of your inner self that we call the subconscious mind literally creates for you the experiences of your life. But this creation is not random, arbitrary, or accidental in any way, and you are definitely in charge of this power.
Your inner mind faithfully creates your life experiences according to your conscious beliefs. And you have one hundred percent control over the thoughts of your conscious mind. This should be an extremely liberating idea, for you are free to choose precisely the focus of your mind and the direction of your life.
So in order to bring experiences of prosperity into your life, you must focus on the wealth you already have, be grateful for the blessings that are already in your life, and focus on the abilities you already possess that will bring wealth to you.
By practicing each day, as you are now doing, you will naturally change your consciousness from a state of lack to a state of abundance. Remember to practice the focussing technique you learned yesterday.
Simply be where you are, and notice the world as it is in this moment. Then focus your mind on how you wish things to be, and project your desires out into the world.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I WILL NO LONGER FOCUS ON THE APPARENT LACK IN MY LIFE. I PLACE MY ENTIRE FOCUS ON MY ABILITY TO BRING WEALTH INTO MY LIFE, AND I FOCUS, WITH GRATITUDE, ON THE ABUNDANCE WITH WHICH I AM ALREADY BLESSED.
TAKE ACTION: Re-examine the financial goal that you set for yourself on day three. Hopefully you have remembered to read this goal on a daily basis. Right now, spend five minutes focussing your mind on this goal, expecting that it is already rushing towards you, and feel your ability to create this experience in your future simply by focussing on it right now.
“The forces of Nature are at the disposal of the person of vigor and determination and desire. Such a one has but to knock at the door of attainment and have it opened to him.” --William Walker Atkinson
DAY 12
HOW TO SUPERCHARGE YOUR MAGNETIC POWER TO AUTOMATICALLY ATTRACT WHATEVER YOU WANT
All of the psychological principles you have been studying lead to the truth that properly utilizing your creative energy will magnetically draw to you the experiences you desire.
The power of personal magnetism cannot be understated, for it will draw to you all of the outer, physical experiences necessary for you to fulfill your desires.
By following through with these exercises, by committing to change, by clearly defining your goals, by believing in your power to change, and by focusing your mind in the direction of your goals, you automatically set up a magnetic field of energy that will draw to you the people you need to meet, the circumstances that will help you on your way, and the money you need to fulfill your goals.
This magnetism is a simple and natural extension of the same creative energy which has built your life for you so far. As I stated earlier, unless you consciously decide upon the direction of your life, you will unconsciously repeat patterns that were programmed into your mind many years ago. In this way, you allow the magnetic energy of your spirit to draw familiar experiences to you even if those experiences are limiting and unsatisfactory.
These unconscious patterns explain why most people tend to repeat the same mistakes in their relationships and careers. The only way to override these patterns is to consciously decide to. Through the proper utilization of your conscious beliefs you can begin to magnetically attract optimistic, positive people and events into your life, rather than limiting, negative ones.
In the next few lessons I will give you specific, practical techniques to kick the magnetism of your creative spirit into high gear. For today, I simply want you to be aware of this quality in your life. Realize that everything you have ever experienced has been drawn to you by your conscious beliefs, and decide today to consciously attract more constructive experiences on a more consistent basis.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
MY CREATIVE SPIRIT IS CHARGED WITH MAGICAL, MAGNETIC ENERGY WHICH IS DRAWING ABUNDANT WEALTH AND POSITIVE EXPERIENCES INTO MY LIFE ON A CONSISTENT BASIS.
TAKE ACTION: Sit quietly and visualize the energy of your spirit as a visible magnetic force that emanates outward from your body in all directions and flows over the entire planet, touching every person alive. Now visualize that this magnetic field of energy responds unfailingly to your conscious thoughts, and automatically brings into your life precisely what you desire.
“Success comes to those who become success conscious. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.” --Napoleon Hill
DAY 13
HOW JOYFUL EXPECTANCY CREATES FINANCIAL MIRACLES
Try this simple exercise. In your mind, generate some hope that after you have completed this program, you will actually know how to live more prosperously. Hope that you will attract wealth. Take another look at your financial goals, and hope that these will be realized. How does it feel to hope for these things? Probably not very inspiring, for when you hope for something, you are always painfully aware that you might not get what you hope for.
Now try this exercise again. But this time, generate the feeling of joyful expectation. Expect, with absolute conviction, that after you finish this prosperity program, you will be well on your way to financial abundance. Expect wealth to flow to you. Expect that all of your goals will be realized. Expectation is a much more powerful emotion than hope, for expectation presumes that what you want is already on its way. With expectation there is no room for doubt.
Today I would like you to create an intense emotional state based on the power of joyful expectation, and I want this feeling to carry you enthusiastically through the rest of this program. Today, I want you to banish doubt and worry in all financial affairs, and replace these with the committed expectation of abundant wealth.
Try these few steps:
Expect wealth to magnetically flow towards you. Expect that your mind is expanding daily to accommodate greater abundance. Expect that although you may not know where the money is coming from, you will remain open to it from any source. Expect to meet people who will introduce money-making ideas to you. Expect that you will recognize practical money-making ideas when you meet them in your experience. Expect that you can easily follow through with any wealth generating plans that attract you. Expect that you will naturally evolve to a prosperous, creative state.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I JOYFULLY EXPECT FINANCIAL MIRACLES TO OCCUR IN MY LIFE. I KNOW THAT THE UNIVERSE CAN EASILY MEET ALL OF MY NEEDS, SO I EXPECT THAT ALL OF MY NEEDS WILL BE MET. I JOYFULLY EXPECT COMPLETE FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
TAKE ACTION: Follow through with the exercise as stated above. Try to feel as powerfully as you can the emotion of joyful expectation. Truly believe that all that you desire is inevitably coming into your experience. Expect miracles in your life, and for five minutes, believe that financial miracles are yours.
“Deny that lack has any place or reality in your thought or your affairs and affirm plenty as the only appearance. Praise what you have, be it ever so little, and insist that it is constantly growing larger.” --Charles Fillmore
DAY 14
YOU ARE ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME
In order to attract substantial amounts of wealth into your life you obviously must be open to receiving this wealth. You also must be open to the idea that any situation you encounter may offer you a money-making opportunity, and that any person you meet may open a creative opportunity for you, or spark an idea in your mind that can be turned into a lucrative enterprise.
You must be constantly alert for ways in which you can use your energy to attract more wealth into your life. This means being always willing to learn, and always expecting to find fulfilling ways to earn money. Develop your feelings of expectation to such a degree that in every situation you encounter and in every conversation you have you will expect to learn something new, develop a new idea, or in some way enrich your life. Living your life in this manner will open you up not only to a more abundant lifestyle, but also a more enjoyable one. When you go through each day's experiences constantly open to the possibilities that surround you, your mind automatically becomes calmer, more focussed, and better able to bring to you the experiences you desire.
A simple way to be open to the goodness within all experience is to assume that you are always in the right place at the right time, and that when a creative idea comes you will be psychologically prepared to accept it and physically prepared to act upon it. In this way you can make any of your daily experiences more rewarding.
An extremely useful habit to begin is to develop this sense of openness and expectation first thing in the morning when you awaken. Simply ask yourself “what will happen today that is truly great” or some similar question that fills you with an optimistic attitude towards the events you will encounter each day. Assuming that something exciting will happen will automatically kick-start your day in a positive direction, and guarantee more fulfilling experiences in your life.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I AM ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. I AM OPEN TO THE LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO ME, AND I AM PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION WHEN AN OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF.
TAKE ACTION: Throughout the next 24 hours, make it a point to be aware of anything new you hear that may open a financial opportunity. Decide, right now, to be aware of anything useful to your psychological development. Spend a few minutes right now to prepare yourself for the ideas that will come to you in the next 24 hours. Also, remember to ask yourself the question “what will happen today that is truly great,” and honestly expect that something great will happen.
“There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen, whether it be a political thing or a social thing or a work of art.” -- Sean O Faolain
DAY 15
HOW TO LIVE EFFORTLESSLY
We have all been thoroughly indoctrinated with so much negative propaganda about our lives that it is a wonder we can remember how to be happy at all. At every turn we are reminded that life is a struggle, that work is difficult, that solving our problems will take tremendous effort, and that earning money is hard, hard work. Society's extreme focus on individualism, competition, and consumerism has stripped from us the ability to truly relax and enjoy the process of life, and bask in the effortlessness of our evolution. The effort we are asked to express in this lifestyle drains our spiritual, creative energy.
We need only look beyond our societal expectations to see how deluded we are. The natural world is dynamic, active, constantly growing and evolving, yet it is driven without any effort. Everything that is truly important in the world is done without the kind of striving effort that our conscious minds are so used to. The forests of the earth grow effortlessly, the seasons change effortlessly, the cells of your body have grown from a microscopic fetus to a fully intelligent being effortlessly. Your body is, in this very instant, performing tens of thousands of highly specific actions in order to keep you alive without any input from your conscious mind.
What you must learn is that your conscious mind is not meant to be used to worry about any of the functions of living. There is a deep intelligence at work in the universe, and you must develop the faith that this intelligence will meet your needs just as it meets the needs of every cell in your body, and every animal on the planet.
Your conscious mind should be used only to direct the focus of your life. Consciously decide in which direction you want to evolve, and then let the infinite energy of your inner self take over. Realize that you can attract money without any effort on your part, and realize that it is okay to do so.
Obviously you will need to use your energy in the physical world, but when you are doing what you want you will not be filled with stress but with joy and enthusiasm. Hard work is for those who have not bothered to learn how their minds work. For you, life is truly effortless, and truly enjoyable.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I PLACE MY FAITH IN THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE UNIVERSE TO FULFILL MY NEEDS. I DO NOT NEED TO WORRY OR STRUGGLE, I SIMPLY NEED TO ENJOY THE PROCESS OF LIFE AND REALIZE THAT I WILL EFFORTLESSLY ATTRACT ABUNDANCE INTO MY LIFE.
TAKE ACTION: Today's action is effortless. Simply decide to no longer use your conscious mind for worrying thoughts. Whenever you think thoughts that fill your body with tension, focus your mind on your goals and leave it to your powerful subconscious mind to work out the details.
“It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.” --Edmund Spenser
DAY 16
THE MAGIC KEY OF ALL TRUE WEALTH
Gratitude is the magic key of all true wealth. You are not wealthy if you have ten million dollars in the bank but spend all of your energy worrying about how to protect it from others, or how to protect yourself from losing it. You are abundantly wealthy when you realize that your daily needs are met, and you take great pleasure in the simple experience of being alive.
As I have stated before, in order to attract your goals to you more quickly you must feel as strongly as you are able that your goals are already a reality for you. Act the way you would act if all of your desires were already met. Feel the way you would feel if you had successfully accomplished all of your goals. These emotions set in motion the events necessary for your development. Gratitude is the key emotion for setting in motion the experience of prosperity in your life.
Today, you must allow yourself to feel true gratitude for everything that is positive in your life. Give thanks for your friends and the people you love. Give thanks for the food you eat. Give thanks for your health, your sanity, and your ability to grow and learn. Be grateful for all of the simple little things that you completely take for granted but would sorely miss if they were taken from you.
As well, feel grateful for all of the wealth that you already possess, and feel grateful that you are learning psychological principles that will greatly enhance your ability to attract wealth into your life from now on. If you honestly cannot generate a positive feeling of gratitude, ask yourself this question: What could I feel grateful for if I wanted to? Ask this question and your brain will come up with an answer.
From now on, whenever you spend your money, do it gratefully. Be grateful that you have money to spend, even if you feel poor. Be grateful that you have food to eat. Be grateful that you have a warm bed to sleep in tonight. Gratitude is the single most important step to developing prosperity consciousness. Practice feeling gratitude whenever you get the chance.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THE WEALTH THAT I ALREADY HAVE, AND I AM FILLED WITH GRATITUDE FOR MY FUTURE OF PROSPEROUS, EXCITING EXPERIENCES.
TAKE ACTION: For five minutes, write down anything and everything you have to be grateful for. Write down all of the things that are truly special in your life, and all the simple things that you should appreciate on a daily basis, such as “All my limbs work,” or “I am not in jail,” or “I have hot running water.” You can easily come up with a hundred or more things to be grateful for. Look at this list a few times in the next 24 hours and let it fill you with gratitude. It is always wise to give thanks for the simple pleasures in your life that you usually take for granted.
“We seldom think of what we have but always of what we lack.” --Schopenhauer
DAY 17
HOW TO GENERATE POWERFUL SELF-CONFIDENCE
In order to live your dreams, you must develop healthy self-confidence. You must believe that you possess the inherent skills necessary to fulfill your desires. You must realize that even if you think that you have never accomplished anything truly worthy, you absolutely have the potential to fulfill your dreams.
Remember that you would not even have a particular desire if your unique personality was not imbued with the latent talents to bring it to fruition. Know that with a willingness to continually learn as a human being, and by keeping your mind focused on the type of life you desire, you will, inevitably, manifest your dreams. This feeling of assuredness is the basis of true, healthy self-confidence.
Again, through properly focusing your mind you can develop any of the personality traits you need in order to succeed, including self-confidence. The key is to use your memories constructively rather than negatively.
Most people's self-confidence is shaken simply because they focus on past experiences that went poorly, and they blame themselves for the negative experiences of their lives. Instead, decide to focus on the events of your past that went well, where you had success, and realize that you have just as much power to succeed as any other person.
Everybody has encountered failure in the past, and you are no different. What is different is your ability to not let past failures stand in your way of a fulfilling future. Simply focus on your positive energy, and decide to use this energy to create positive experiences in your future.
Right now you have decided to learn to expand your consciousness to increase your capacity to attract prosperity. Having this desire for abundant consciousness proves that it is a realistic goal for your personality at this time.
It is no accident that you are reading these ideas at this moment. You are willing and open to learn, and the creative energy of the universe is happily teaching you. Accept these lessons with faith that you will absorb this knowledge and effortlessly express it in physical reality. Feel completely confident that you have the ability to live a prosperous life.
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I AM COMPLETELY CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITY TO CREATE THE LIFE THAT I TRULY DESIRE. I AM COMPLETELY CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITY TO CREATE ABUNDANT PROSPERITY IN MY LIFE.
TAKE ACTION: Remind yourself of those areas in your life in which you have been successful. Focus on those skills and personality traits that have brought you successful outcomes in the past. Write down the three most successful things you have done in your life. Feel the confidence these events have brought into your life.
“Banish worry by quietly and confidently affirming the drawing power of divine love as the constantly active magnet that attracts your unfailing supply.” --Charles Fillmore
DAY 18
THE GENIUS, POWER, AND MAGIC OF BOLDNESS
Please read carefully these words from W.H. Murray, from The Scottish Himalayan Expedition:
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
In order to accomplish any of your dreams or goals, you must take forceful, decisive action. The affirmations we have been doing are wonderful tools for expanding your consciousness and putting you in a psychological state to motivate you towards the type of life you want, but power is easily eroded by lethargy and apathy. You must take action.
Whatever it is you want to do, you must do it with true emotional commitment. This means taking risks, being fearless, and persevering. Many people's most serious regret in life comes from not having taken the risk to try something they truly wanted to do.
If true financial prosperity is what you desire, you must take the psychological principles you have been learning and apply this knowledge to your daily life with bold, committed action. You need simply to realize the truth behind all that we have been learning: you are naturally, effortlessly evolving into a human being who gratefully expresses his/her creative energy into the world and receives the physical, abundant rewards from this activity. The universe is on your side. If you fail at one thing, you learn valuable lessons for your next adventure. If you keep at it, you will inevitably create the type of life you desire. GO FOR IT! DO IT NOW!
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I WILL TAKE ACTION NOW. I WILL NO LONGER WAIT FOR CONDITIONS TO PLEASE ME AND I WILL NO LONGER FEAR FAILURE. I WILL BOLDLY TAKE ACTION AND I WILL INEVITABLY SUCCEED.
TAKE ACTION: What is the most important action you need to take in your life that you have been putting off? Have you wanted to start a business? Quit smoking? Exercise regularly? Whatever it is, I urge you to start right now. Decide to stop procrastinating. You know that you must take this action or you will never be satisfied, so start right now!
