things!)

"As a
man thinks ... So is he." The Holy Bible Proverbs 23: 7
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our
thoughts. With our thoughts we make our world.
The mind is everything. What we think, we become. All that
we are is the result of what we have thought. What we are
today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present
thoughts build our life of tomorrow. Our life is the
creation of our mind.
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. We become what we
think." Buddha
"I think, therefore I am." Descartes
"To find yourself, think for yourself." Socrates
"The energy of the mind is the essence of life."
Aristotle
"The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will
be his world and the world at large.
The superior man thinks of virtue, the common man thinks of
comfort.
I want you to be everything that is you, deep at the center
of your being." Confucius
"Our life is what our thoughts make it.
Very little is needed to make a happy life. It is all within
yourself, in your thinking." Marcus Aurelius
"The power of thought, the magic of the mind." Lord
Byron
"There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it
so." William Shakespeare
"The key to every man is his thought. A man is what he
thinks about all day long. Life consists in what a person is
thinking of all day.
As a man thinks, so is he, and as a man chooses, so is he
and so is nature." Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Energy and persistence conquers all things." Benjamin
Franklin
"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's
coming attractions.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but
imagination.
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you
everywhere." Albert Einstein
"People are just as happy as they make up their minds to
be." Abraham Lincoln
"The first requisite for success is the ability to apply
your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly
without growing weary." Thomas Edison
"Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want
to be." Henry David Thoreau

achieve.
There are no limitations to the mind except those we
acknowledge. Think and grow rich with peace of mind."
Napoleon Hill

Clement Stone
"Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Four things for success: Work and pray, think and believe.
You can if you think you can."
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
"The Creator of Life has shared with the human race His
creative power of imagination. This imagination is latent in
your mind this very moment--and it has the power to make
you. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." Robert
H. Schuller
"Thinking determines life. The greatest discovery of my
generation is that human beings can alter their lives by
altering their attitudes of mind. Human beings, by changing
the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer
aspects of their lives." William James
(Considered
the Father of American Psychology)
"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks,
he becomes." Mahatma Gandi
"A man is literally what he thinks. All that a man achieves
and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his
thoughts. Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will
find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other
people, things and other people will alter towards him. You
are today where your thoughts have brought you; you are
tomorrow where your thoughts take you. Cause and effect are
as absolute and undeviating in the realm of thought as in
the world of visible and material things. Mind is the master
weaver, both of the interior garment of character and the
outer garment of circumstance." James Allen
(As a Man
Thinketh)
"Thought is energy. A thought produces the thing that is
imaged by that thought. No thought of form can be impressed
upon Original Substance without causing the creation of the
form. All the forms that you fashion with your hands must
first exist in your thought. You cannot shape a thing until
you have thought that thing.
There is a Thinking Stuff from which all things are made,
which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and
fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought is this
substance produces the thing that is imaged by that thought.
You can form things in your thoughts and by impressing your
thoughts upon Formless Substance can cause the thing you
think about to be created." Wallace D. Wattles

Science of Getting Rich) {The original source of her book,
'The Secret', according to author Rhonda Byrne, and
eventually 'The Secret' DVD movie/video}

"Mind is creative, and conditions, environments and all
experiences in life are the result of our habitual or
predominant attitude." Charles F. Haanel
(The Master Key to Success)
"Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what
he thinks into it." Ernest Holmes
"As a person thinks, feels and believes, so is the condition
of his or her mind, body and circumstances. Thought rules
the world. The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything
according to the nature of your thought life. Your
environment and financial conditions are the perfect
reflection of your habitual thinking." Dr. Joseph
Murphy
(The Power of Your
Subconscious Mind)
"Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his
own thinking and believing. As individuals think and
believe, so they are. Thought is the original source of all
wealth, all success, all material gains, all great
discoveries, inventions and of all achievements."
Claude M. Bristol (The Magic of Believing)
"A good thought conceived is like a goal achieved. Creative
imagination is the starting point of achievement."
Maxwell Maltz M.D.
(Psycho-Cybernetics)
"We move towards what we picture in our mind.
The mind attracts whatever is familiar to itself." Dr.
Robert Anthony
(Advanced Formula For Total Success)
"Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start
thinking of yourself as a success." Dr. Joyce Brothers
"The direction of your life and everything that happens to
you is determined by the way you think. Successful people
tend to become more successful because they are always
thinking about their successes. You are the architect of
your own destiny. You are the master of your own fate; there
are no limitations to what you can do, have or be."
Brian Tracy
"What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon. Our
limitations and success will be based, most often on your
own expectations for ourselves.
We always move in the direction of what we are thinking of
most.
If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you
won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition
switch that gets you off the launching pad." Denis
Waitley
"Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give
it through my conscious thoughts. More than anything else, I
believe it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives
that determine our destiny.
Whatever we think and focus on determines how we feel. The
truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't
accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you're
absolutely committed to achieving. (2) You're willing to
take massive action, (3) You notice what's working or not
and (4) You continue to change your approach until you
achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along
the way." Anthony Robbins
"Emotions are the most powerful forces inside us. Under the
power of emotions, human beings can perform the most heroic
(as well as barbaric) acts. Emotions are fuel and the mind
is the pilot, which together propel the ship of civilized
progress. Desire comes from the inside, not the outside, and
it can be triggered by outside forces."
Jim Rohn
"You have within you an awesome power that most of us have
never been taught to us. That power is called visualization.
The daily practice of visualizing your dreams as already
completed can rapidly accelerate your achievement of those
dreams.
An affirmation is a statement that evokes not only a
picture, but the experience of already having what you
want." Jack Canfield
"You control your future, your destiny. What you think about
comes about. Each of us must do massive right thinking, take
massive action, and get massive right results, right here,
right now.
Think big, act big, and set out to accomplish big results."
Mark Victor Hansen
"Think quality, it pays. Think big." Dr. David J.
Schwartz
(The Magic of Thinking Big)
"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of
your state of mind. What we think determines what happens to
us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch
our minds.
Happiness is something that you are, and it comes from the
way you think.
I think and that is all that I am. It is through your
thoughts that all creative energy is attracted to you.
Everything you need you already have. Your completeness
must be experienced in your thoughts as your own personal
reality." Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
"The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can
influence you life by 30 to 50 years. The physical world,
including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We
create our bodies, as we create our experience of our
world." Dr. Deepak Chopra (MD)
"Concentrated thoughts produces desired results.
You've got to be, before you can do, and do before you can
have.
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your
altitude."
Zig Zigler
"As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to
change your behavior." John C. Maxwell
"You become what you think about." Earl Nightingale
"The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can
change his future by merely changing his attitude."
Opray Winfrey
"The key to yourself, the key to your destiny is the science
of mind, the science of life, for in mind all manifestation
finds its common origin. Thought is the only reality;
conditions are but the outright manifestation of thought. As
thought changes, all conditions must change in order to be
in harmony with their creator which is thought." Venice
Bloodworth
(Key to Yourself)
"What man images and thinks, sooner or later externalizes in
his affairs. If one asks for success and prepares for
failure, he will get the situation he has prepared for."
Florence Scovel-Shinn
(The Game of Life and How
to Play It)
"You create your own experience. Acknowledge and accept
accountability for your life.
Instead of asking whether the way you are living, behaving,
and thinking is "right", I want you to ask if the way you
are living, behaving, and thinking is working or not
working." Dr. Phil McGraw

"Begin with the end in mind, is the habit of vision, of
purpose, of mission. Expand your perspective by expanding
your mind. Visualize in rich detail. Involve as many
emotions and feelings as possible. Involve as many of the
senses as you can." Stephen R. Covey
(The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

lead to actions, actions lead to results." T. Harv Eker
(Secrets
of the Millionaire Mind)
"When you know what you want, all your really have to do is
think it and feel it. What you see is an out-picturing of
what you think and what you believe inside yourself. it is
Spirit giving you what you think and focus on." Joe
Vitale
(The Attractor Factor)
"The Law of Attraction will bring to you more and more
situations that are in vibrational alignment with your
thoughts, beliefs, and most of all your feelings." Bob
Doyle
(Wealth Beyond Reason)
"Vision and desire have to be the focus of your attention if
you're going to develop persistence into the great ally it
can become.
If there is a war between the will and the imagination, the
imagination will win every time. You are powered by desire
and fuelled by the dream you hold." Bob Proctor
"Take control of your thoughts. It's your choice what you
think about. Think success and that's what you'll get; think
failure, and that's what you'll attract." Vic Johnson
"You create your own circumstances by the thoughts you give
precedence to. True prosperity is a mindset in the
recipient. Prosperity is manifested in the mind first. True
and boundless prosperity comes as a result of envisioning it
first. You become a wealthy person in your mind; then you
manifest it on the physical plane by becoming the kind of
person that attracts prosperity to you." Randy Gage
"Your subconscious mind is like a genie, --- your wish is my
command. It creates what you think about. Thoughts are
powerful." James Ray
"By the powerful Universal Law of Attraction, you draw to
you the essence of whatever you are predominantly thinking
about. That which is like unto itself is drawn. When you are
consciously aware of your own thoughts, and you are
deliberately offering them, then you are the deliberate
creator of your own reality." Abraham-Hicks Jerry
and Ester Hicks
(The Law of Attraction)
"Everything that appears in the universe had its origin in
mind. Mind evolves ideas and ideas express themselves
through thought and words." Charles Fillmore
"Open your mind to receive. Open your mind to prosperity.
There is a deep rooted conviction in some minds that Jesus
Christ taught the beauty of poverty and self-denial. No
greater error was ever made and there is nothing in His
teachings to support any such theory. On the contrary, He
taught the fact that 'all things are possible' to him who
believes." Catherine Ponder
(Minister and Prosperity Teacher)
"Human life will be beautiful when we think, imagine the
perfect situation, imagining that everybody on this planet
has developed the faculties of visualization and imagination
to the fullest." Jose Siva
(Founder of Silva Mind
Control)
"What one thinks continually, they become. For mind is the
builder and that we think upon may become crimes or
miracles.
Think on these things. For here you may find not only the
key to your nature but that which may unlock the mysteries
of life itself in relationship to your dealing with your
fellow man." Edgar Cayce
(The Sleeping Prophet, one
of America's greatest psychics)

true, if you have the courage to pursue them." Walt

My Take On
All This!
I wish to acknowledge now, (my own personal belief) my own
Source, The Almighty Lord and God for He makes it all
possible, all that He enriches and empowers us to attract to
ourselves all what already He has created, ---- through the
wonderful powers of the mind and the law of thought and the
law of attraction. (Many names, titles, and descriptions
have been given to this "Ultimate Creative Power", that I
choose to call God, Father, or Lord!) Thanks for allowing
this!
It is said that it is through Him, and in Him that we move
and have our being!

Using the
Secret
Define
and Choose for Yourselves
|
|
Now you know the "Secret"! The basics,
the foundations and the essence of life!
It has been said that "knowledge is power". I'd rather
believe that it is more "the application of knowledge is
real power".
The next step is up to you, as you choose and define it and
as you think for yourself. Dare to ponder and think on these
words of the wise. Fortune favors the bold. Know that
whatever you assume and think to be true, will become real
to you.
These gems of wisdom are but handful of this specific
subject matter of some of the greatest "thinkers". There are
undoubtedly so many, many more from your own favorite
spiritual holy books, scientists, philosophers, authors,
writers, speakers, success/prosperity coaches, gurus, and
other spiritual masters and master teachers that are not
listed here. But hopefully there is more than enough here
for the wise.
It has always been said that one's accomplishments,
achievements and success in life goes not always to the
better, stronger, or faster woman or man, but that sooner or
later, the ones who win in life are truly the ones who think
they can. I hope you contemplate this further and not put a
limit on yourself and your thinking.
Thinking, --- our thoughts, our desires, our beliefs, our
emotions and feelings, our imaginations, our expectations
are really the foundations of all that we are. "Beliefs are
the basis of all action. and this being so, the belief that
dominates the heart or mind is shown in the life", as stated
by James Allen.
How strong our desires, believes and expectancies,
especially in alignment with each other and in reinforcement
of each and all of them have made the razor edge difference
in some of the world's greatest achievements and
accomplishments.
You probably will never give 100 per cent of your abilities
to something that you don't believe. And you will probably
rarely attempt something that you do not believe possible.
But consider for a moment, one of the finest examples of the
great power of belief!
You may have heard about one of the greatest achievements in
recent times, the story of Roger Banister. Roger Banister
was the first person in history to "break the barrier" of
running a mile in under four minutes! Before his
accomplishment, it was generally believed that the human
body was incapable of such a feat. It was generally believed
that a human body is not designed to go at such a speed.
Roger Banister, who was a medical student, believed
otherwise. In his own words, he said, "Fueled by my faith in
my training, I will overcome all obstacles. I am brave! I am
not afraid to face anyone on the track. I believe this is
not a dream. It is my reality."
What happened in 1954, the year that Roger Bannister first
made the "record", that thousands before him, of the world's
greatest, finest, fastest athletes in the previous thousands
of years of human history had not happened or done, was
simply a change in the human belief system!
What is even more interesting and even "amazing" to many is
that Roger's record held for only a mere 46 days! And within
two years, there were nine others who run the mile in under
four minutes!
There are really so many of these fabulous accomplishments,
and achievements that one has to marvel at the power of the
unlimited human imagination and potential and man's belief
system.
One of my personal favorites is the one on the wondrous
bumblebee. According to aerodynamics and aeronautics, the
bumblebee is not supposed to fly. Its wingspan is
structurally way too small in comparison to its body weight.
The only "problem" I suppose is that someone forgot to tell
that to the bumblebee, so he goes ahead and flies anyway!!!
Now I know a lot of my friends say, but we are just common
ordinary people. I do know that really all of us are just
that, ---- "common and ordinary". Yet, I have heard that the
difference is that so many common ordinary people are simply
doing "uncommon and extraordinary things" simply because
they choose to do so!
So perhaps it is time to check into what really goes on in
your minds and in your thinking. Check your belief systems.
If certain beliefs are sustaining you, then keep them. If
not, perhaps it is time to make some changes!
Again, it bears repeating, that we change our lives but
changing our thoughts and changing our beliefs! Keep what
works for you! Change what doesn't!
For those friends who ask, don't our circumstances,
situations, and conditions affect our lives? Certainly and
absolutely! But again only as we allow them, accept them and
believe in them. Thus, it is back to our thoughts, beliefs
and thinking.
What happens to us is not as important, as how we respond,
act, or react to what happens to us. We still choose
ultimately our thoughts and our feelings, the state of mind,
our mental attitudes that we want and desire.
For instance, we can honestly choose to be happy about
anything whether an event, situation, condition or
circumstance initially indicate otherwise. We may at the
onset initially feel a letdown and be sad over whatever has
happened, but we can truly choose to continue to be sad or,
change our thinking and choose to let go and choose to think
happy thoughts instead, and see the positive side of things,
and thus alter our state of mind and feelings. It is then
our focus and concentration on what we choose that
determines our results and outcomes. Thus, we should pay
more attention to our thoughts, what we think and dwell on,
and our feelings. It may not initially be "easy" but we must
if we do want to have more control of our own lives.
So ultimately, it is then up to us with the choices that we
make. We do have the power to make the change, whether it
may take us a bit longer to make it happen.
What is your choice, what is your desire, what is your
belief? What do you want?
For some it will mean getting out of our comfort zones and
giving it your commitment and your all! For others, it will
mean status quo, for it is easier for many to go on with
their lives as they are, rather than doing something to make
changes for the better.
Overall then, we are ultimately individually responsible for
our lives. We have the "power", the choices to choose and
define our own conditions, our situations, and our
circumstances.
Insanity has been newly defined as "doing the same things
over and over again, and expecting different results"!
Here then are some empowering thoughts from Jim Rohn. "If
you keep doing the same things you've always done, you will
keep getting the same things you've always got. To have more
than you've got, become more that you are"
You now have the secret and the key to yourself!
www.gettrulyrich.com
Remember, when we look for the best in anyone and in
anything in life, we find the best. When we look for the
worse, we find the worse. And when we look for the best in
others, we find the best in ourselves.
The Good Lord gave us two ends, ---- one for sitting and one
for thinking. Our joys, health, wealth, peace, happiness and
success or anything else we choose, depend on which end we
choose and use! (lol! Smile with this one!)
So to the wise, it is a good thing to be vigilant and
watchful with what we think. Pay attention to your thoughts
and your thinking. For whatever we continually, habitually,
and predominantly think about the most will come into our
lives.
As Abraham-Hicks would say, "you will get and attract into
you life whatever you think. Whether it is what you want, or
what you do not want. Whether it is what you are wanting or
the lack of what you are wanting." Your thinking makes it
so!
So as you think, so shall you be, do or have.
So my friends, from my personal standpoint, do think, focus,
concentrate and believe anything that you personally choose,
desire and define for yourself. You really do choose what is
right for you. And if you don't choose, which is still a
choice in itself, someone else, or something else will
"choose" it for you! Just know that if you think you're
right, you're right, and if you think you're wrong, you're
right!
And from my viewpoint, if you are going to be thinking
anyway, you might as well think big! And really do think on
what you truly, honestly really want! It is just as easy to
think small or little as it is to think big! Yet it is all a
choice, your choice!
So if you now know that you can have anything that you can
think and believe for yourself, the only "question" then
that remains is, can you think it and really, truly,
honestly believe it! It is all up to you!
Finally, according to Robert Kiyosaki of "Rich Dad, Poor
Dad" fame, ---- "the poor, the unsuccessful, the unhappy,
the unhealthy are the ones who use the word "tomorrow" the
most". And Napoleon Hill, the famous author of "Think and
Grow Rich" says, ---- "Don't wait. The time will never be
just right".
I say then that whatever you choose and define for
yourselves, ---- Do it now! Do it today! Your point of power
is the present moment, the present time! Now! Your present
is your "present"!
The results of our lives are the results of our thoughts. We
only get out of life what we put into our thinking.
And for my much younger friends, I love Barney when he says,
--- "it's amazing what our imaginations can do." (This dino
knows how to think!)
Make it happen! Fortune favors the bold! What is, was, what
was, is, what will be, is up to me. So now it's up to you!
Remember the three kinds of people in the world.
Those who make things happen,
Those who watch things happen,
And those who don't know and wonder what in heavens is
happening! (or what in heavens just happened!)
Be the ones who make things happen!
And I hope you keep an open mind. For it is said that our
minds are like parachutes or umbrellas. They work much
better when they are opened!
Now you know the "Secret"! The Law of Attraction! The Law of
Thought! The Law of Compensation! The Law of Sowing and
Reaping! The Law of Giving and Receiving! And you may know
it by other names!
From here it's up to you! And it's been said that
"knowledge is power". But again, I believe that "application
of knowledge is the real power". Only when we apply
something that we know that its value becomes more real to
us!
So what are you waiting for? Get going and start thinking!
Open your mind for success and prosperity! ---- whatever
that means to you! And dare to think and think big!
Do it now!
I truly hope you do find whatever it is in life that you are
looking for. Now you know first where to start looking!
All the best to you for the new year!
Live life and live it with joy and passion!
Thanks for tuning in!
