You Don't Need To Be Rich Today To Feel Like A Billionaire
By: Dan Low
If in certain circumstances a man can involuntarily FREEZE HIMSELF TO DEATH AT NORMAL ROOM TEMPERATURE, you can voluntarily FEEL LIKE A BILLIONAIRE - EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A DIME IN YOUR POCKET!
Here's an article reported in the French newspaper Le Matin to illustrate this point:
?A man was locked in by error in a cold storage room. Believing himself to be a prisoner of the cold, this man instantly felt its deadly effects - he froze up and became paralyzed. During his agony, he managed to find enough strength to write his impressions on the wall with a piece of chalk. When his body was discovered the next morning, it showed all the signs of a man frozen to death. This tragic accident turned out to be extraordinary when it was discovered that the electric generator of the storage room was out of order, and that therefore the man shouldn't have died from cold. Yet, he killed himself... by the sheer force of his conviction?. Or illusion!
Here's another scenario: John got fired on Monday. But last Friday (3 days ago), the president of a rival company had signed with a recruiter to hire John with a 50% increase in salary! Unfortunately, the recruiter went on vacation for a week, therefore John will not be given the good news till a week later. Imagine how John is feeling today, tomorrow, and the day after. He already feels bad, his productivity drops, and he has a despondent expression all day long.
John, like the man who froze himself to death, is suffering from an illusion, an illusion that has nothing to do with actual reality. That is, he has a job offer in the works far superior to what he presently has. He should be wearing a happy expression! But John has fallen victim to his own illusion, just like the man who died in the storage room because he believed the room was cold.
Now, if you can master illusion by switching from passive to active illusion, you will not only be able to create your own reality and feel like a billionaire, but also fully maximize your potential. Potential is not what you have done in the past, but what you are able to do in the future.
Passive illusions are all the past experiences recorded in our subconscious. If we think we cannot do something, or believe that we can, we are dwelling within our passive illusions, as we are reacting subjectively to past experiences. Hence, we could have positive or negative passive illusions - depending on our experiences. If you manage to obtain what you want in life and are presently satisfied with yourself, you can still decide to create new active illusions.
Whenever we are in the process of doing something, like changing our behavior, going to a rendezvous, starting a project, or simply trying something new - we are using our active illusions. Once we have acquired these experiences - positive or negative - they form our body of passive illusions. You can therefore create whatever active illusion you desire - and test it. In other words, you are the producer, director, and actor of your own life. Whichever active illusion you create and put into action will be your reality, because you'll be mentally and physically living it.
Why not trigger the following active illusion for yourself: You own this world! You possess six billion pairs of hands, not just one pair! Think about this: When you're enjoying a beautiful scenery from your train ride what but a pair of your hands is driving the train? What about your other hands who laid the rails so that the train could roll on it? And those other hands that worked to provide the scenery?
What about your favorite strawberry jam or orange juice on your breakfast table? They didn't just happen to be there. Your other hands made it possible for you to enjoy. What about that great show you saw last month? What about the exquisite pleasure of having a candlelight dinner in a restaurant? What about all the nice clothes you wear? The car you're driving? Your other hands made it all possible for you to feel good each day.
Recognizing this makes you feel like a billionaire, because you own and created this world with your six billion pairs of hands! You're not the grain of sand you think you are, but the magnificent beach! You're not the tiny raindrop - but the mighty ocean! And without a dime in your pocket, you're not the poor man or woman you think you are - but the proud owner of this beautiful world. So, take care of it - if you want to feel good today, tomorrow, and forever!
A Billion Dollar Secret from a Billionaire
By: Momodou Sabally
In a recent TV appearance, billionaire Donald Trump was asked what is the secret to making it big. His answer was short and precise: do what you love and never quit. Does that sound too simplistic? Now follow me through this article and see what wisdom lies in Trumps advice
1.Do what you love In fact the advice to do what you love was the same message given by another billionaire. Warren Buffet also said that the key to success is doing what you love and doing it well.
Doing what you love is the key to having abundance in your life. Look around and see all the big achievers and you will notice this one truth always present in their lives; they are all following their passion. Doing the thing they love doing best. Bill Gates and computers, Oprah Winfrey and her talk show, the Google boys and the internet, Tiger Woods and golf; the evidence is clear everywhere.
Now why do these people who follow their passion excel above others? The answer is in the fact that every person has a gift. Every human being is blessed with some talent. No one knows better than you what you want to do so listen to your heart and be clear about what exactly you want out of life.
The tragedy is that most people do not get to find that one thing that is their special gift or talent. Some do know their areas of expertise but are stunted by the fear that they may not be able to make money out of it; or they get lost in the crowd by following others; doing what their friends are doing or taking their cue from their family or friends. This will never lead you to success.
If all your friends are studying medicine or if your family wants you to be a doctor, that is no good reason for you to go in for medicine. Choose for yourself the career you truly love and be confident that you will be successful in your career. In the words of the best-selling author and philosopher Dr. Wayne Dyer, there is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living out of what you love doing; there is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.
Don't you know that one of the reasons why people get bored at work or have the tendency to shirk is that they are not excited about what they do. If you truly love the kind of job you are doing and that job is suited to your talents boredom and laziness will never bother you because work will then be a source of excitement and bliss for you. Have you ever seen Michael Jordan bored and uninspired on the basketball court. No, never, it is because he does the job he loves doing best.
2.Do not quit
Donald Trump's second piece of advice on how to make big money is to never give up. How right he is. This one piece of device has been here for millions of years. Persistence is the key to victory and outstanding success. No one ever attains any great height without going through tests. Your faith will surely be tested along the way but if you keep on keeping on, you will end up triumphant.
The problem with most people is that when they try something and get resistance, they give up but such an attitude will not get you anywhere. If you view your trials with a positive attitude, you will come to realize that they are always accompanied with great benefits.
Oscar-wining actress Jennifer Hudson wanted to become a star in showbiz. She auditioned for American Idol; she lost but that loss did not make her to give up in her mind. She went in for an acting role in the movie Dream Girls and won an academy award from that single movie. Truly persistence pays.
Carve out a path for yourself to your dreams. Choose to do what you love and never give up in the face of any obstacles. If you do it as Donald Trump teaches you to do, your dreams will come true.
