Reductions in spending are the most effective way of raising your disposable income, as the expression goes - "every cent saved is two cents earned". However over the longer term, very marked increases in income can be achieved by applying proper planning, not just to your career but also to other potential incomes.
With the rise of the internet, there are many opportunities for creating additional streams of income as well as the possibility of home-based businesses that might fit well with child care. Relying on multiple streams of income is a great strategy and can help safeguard against failures in one income stream.
Increasing Your Income Tips
Maximising your income is about maximising your career and your own saleability. It is a continuous process. Because you are likely to spend so much time at work, it is vital that you find a job that you can enjoy. If circumstances force you into less than ideal work, try to find the fun side of the work and keep looking for the next opportunity. EVERY job brings new experience and NEW skills that could set you up perfectly for your next job.
It has been my experience that the harder you work, the less you get paid for it. It seems completely wrong - but it is true. The highest earners get paid for their VALUE TO THE BUSINESS and has very little to do with how hard they work. A key secret to earning more - is to work smarter. Aquire specialised skills that are in high demand - you will be rewarded by substantially higher income and LESS demand on your time! So before you rush off to take up that extra job at expense of time with the kids - look around for those high paid opportunities and get yourself skilled up - WORK SMART NOT HARD!
Take every opportunity to learn more and improve your skill set.
Always present well and leave a positive, confident and friendly impression
Plan your career
Know your own strengths and weaknesses - only apply for jobs that play to your strengths ( keeping working on those weaknesses of course. )
Choose your employer, not the other way round, if you can
Gravitate towards jobs you WANT and would LOVE to do - those who do what they love - earn more. Be prepared to take a PAY CUT for the right entree.
A piece of advice handed down to me by a Captain of Industry - Never stay in the same job for more than 2 years.
When You apply for a job - know that you are right for it and can exceed your employers expectations
Be Open to new sources of Income
WORK SMART
Making More Money Possibilites
Learn A New Skill
Take every opportunity to aquire new skills and experience. You become more valuable to employers as you become more valuable to their businesses. If they do not recognize you value with a pay rise or improved job, other employers will.
Ask For A Pay Rise
If you feel that you deserve a pay rise, ask for it pleasantly. Do not threaten anything and make sure you have done your research and can fully justify your request. Getting it wrong can be a major Setback.
New Job with Existing Employer
Consider new opportunities within your existing employers business. Employers often prefer internal canidates they know and such positions offer the possibility of promotion and a pay increase. Always try to get promoted into jobs you would LOVE to do, chasing a job for just the money, may leave you in a job that you hate and under those circumstances, you are unlikely to perform well and could actually damage your career.
New Job with a New Employer
A new job with a new employer offers great possibilities, not only for an improvement in pay but also for a change of direction and working for a better or more suitable employer with greater prospects for the future.
Take On An Extra Job
Take on an extra job - This can boost income but remember the point I made above about working smart. If you take on an extra job, try to find one that advances your skills in some way, provides training or experience that might prove valuable. Choose a job you LOVE or could provide an entree to such a job. Where possible always look at each opportunity as a step towards where you want to be - even if it is an emergency second job!
Work More Overtime
You can undoubtedly earn more by working overtime if it is available. However, life is for living and unless you LOVE your work, this should only ever be a short-term solution. A stop gap to another solution.
Create An Extra Business
There has never been more opportunities to start home-based and internet-based businesses. Each era has its areas of opportunity and currently the internet is it. Many of these businesses are ideal for running part-time or in the evenings. Things as simple as completing surveys or taking part in online focus groups to running your own internet web site. Even if you have little skill, these opportunities are there, here is a list of potential money earners you might want to consider.
Other Family Members Contribututions
If you are part of a family unit, consider getting others to contribute to the house-hold also. Your spouse, even your children can all find activities or jobs that might contribute to the house-hold income.
Government Support & Tax Breaks
Make sure you are claiming all the government support you are entitled to and use all your tax breaks. If your spouse is not earning, find ways of using her tax allowances to reduce your tax bill.
Maximise Asset Earning
Make sure all your assets are earning their maximum. All savings are earning at the best rates. If you have a spare room, consider renting it out. Use your creative imagination to maximise the earning power of what you already have.

To some extent or other we all have some fears around money. Money fears are a very serious block to financial freedom and need to be overcome if finacial success is to be achieved.
Money fears need to be dealt with immediatly, challenged and confronted, they just love to be ignored so that they can fester and grow in the sub-conscious. Unfortunately people often surpress their anxieties about money and the result is that these 'little' anxieties grow into full grown fears. Fear loves secrecy, it grows and prospers in the dark, magnifying and spreading insiduously through your life until there is nothing it will not touch. Fear though, is DESTROYED when it is brought out into the light, it's power and influence is disipated.
Do not hold fear inside, it will grow irrationally and disproportionately to reality - voice you fears, let them out, examine them, discuss them, share your fears with a partner or friend. If you are unable to open up to those close to you, consider using a "Cognitive Behavioural Therapist" to talk things through with. Such a person is trained to help you confront your fears and challenge negative beliefs.
What are Your Fears
Most of us have fears around money - what are yours? This is an important question that need an answer. Behind all those anxieties about money, all those excuses for not being able to, or have enough time for - dealing with your money, all those procrastinations - are strong indicators that at some level FEAR is impeading your Financial success. Take a few moments to explore your emotions when you think about your finances, can you identify the fear?
Most fears develop from a very basic set that normally involve one or more of the following
Fear of Poverty
Fears around Safety
Fear for the Lack or Loss of Love
Fear of Criticism
What is the Source of Your Fear
Most deep-rooted fears develop from and belifs we developed as children. Sometimes these beliefs are simply born from the misunderstandings of a young child, othertimes they may be based on strategies that worked as a child, but are no longer effective for an adult. Sadly, sometimes these negative self-beliefs and fears emerge from a childhood scarred with trauma or abuse.
Look back into your past - can you see any patterns, beliefs or behaviours that might have influenced you? Can you see any connections? Things that might have led you to your current beliefs and fears.
Facing Your Fears
Discovering the roots of your fears in the past is the key to resolving them. Finding the link brings the fear out of the dark and into the light where it can be seen for what it is, a product of the past that can be challenged and released from your life.
It is your duty to yourself and to your life to find the courage to confront your fears. Failure to do so will mean that your life will be forever scarred by it's infuence and you will remain it's victim.
Part of the problem with dealing with such deep rooted issues, is that so many other beliefs and patterns have been built with the negative belief as a premise that when you change it, all the mental pattens and beliefs built that premise - collapse with it. The subconscious is often fearful of taking such a big step and resists the process.
When the shift does come - it can be described as a profound 'Change of Mind', which is of course, what it is. It is like a switch being 'thrown' in your mind. It often happens out of the blue and almost instantly, the fallout however can leave you mentally disorientated while you work through the process of reconstructing your belief system on the new premise.
If I could flip that switch for you - I would. But this is a journey that you must undertake yourself. Remember, seek help if you need it.
Using Positive Thinking Techniques
Facing down your fears is rarely an instantaneous fix, it often takes regular concentrated effort to recognize, confront and challenge your fears when they emerge. Never tolerate it, no matter how small it may seem - remember fear loves to be ignored - it is fuel to the flame.
A very powerful metaphysical technique is the use of positive thinking and afirmations. Positive thinking is the process of continually challenging any negative thoughts and turning them into positive self nurturing ones. The idea is a simple and very effective one, but belies the difficulty many people face maintaining the level of consciousness and energy needed to be consistant.
Positive Affirmations are brief positive messages to yourself. These messages are usually
Positive
Short and memorable
Personal and Present Tense
An example might be - "I confidently deal with all my financial affairs"
The statement can be about whatever it is you want to achieve.Repeat the statement regularly, believe it, write it down in places where you will continually see it, repeat it to yourself regularly - say it to yourself looking in the mirror.
This powerful techniques is designed to help you re-train your thinking and behaviours. It is effectively self brain training! - The important thing to remember is... it works. For more information visit this affirmation site - Positive Affirmations and Positive Thinking

Anyone who has been deeply in debt will recognize the feeling of working like a slave to pay your debts, knowing that for all your hard labour there will barely enough left to survive, let alone the energy or capital to even attempt to break out. I've been there and so have millions of others.
It is a form of slavery, you are a slave to money, all the productivity and energy of your labour is going into the pockets of others. The sad thing is that people often walk into this scenario voluntarily. It is no way to live.
It is possible to break out of this state, to take control of your finances and win back your financial freedom. To do it you are going to have to turn things around and master money. YOU CAN DO IT! The joy is that as you turn your finances around, your life turns for the better also.
Anyone can achieve great wealth if they desire it strongly enough. It is all about making the right choices and doing what is necessary. These choices are yours and are reflected in the day to day decisions you make ( or don't make ) about your finances.
Mastering Money Principles
There are no big secrets - you will find all you need to make a start freely available on this site, with some of the key principles that you must adopt listed below.
Know What You Want
Only the person who really knows what they want can direct a path towards their goal. A person who does not know what they want, has no direction, no path to navigate, they are lost. If you do not know what your life purpose is, make it your priority to discover it.
Understand the Purpose of Money
Money is a means to an end; it is the energy that enables things to be owned and produced in the physical world. Money itself has no intrinsic value, it is just paper. But its power in the physical world to aquire things towards your advancement makes the pursuit of money an important goal in life.
Never Borrow Unless it is to Invest
Never borrow unless it is an investment in your own advancement. Buying a home to provide shelter and comfort is an important investment in yourself. So is buying a car to get you to work, but buying more car than you need is wasting your financial strength and diminishes you.
When you invest, you expect growth and expansion, either in terms of money or advancement towards your goals. Whenever you are spending and especially with debt spending on things that do not nourish you in mind, body or spirit - or create greater wealth or advancement, you are surrendering and stepping away from your dreams.
Maintain Financial Awareness
One characteristic all successful wealthy people is that they know where their money is and what it is doing. They know what is coming in and what is going out. They ensure that their money is always working to the maximum for them. They respect their money because they understand that it gives them the power to ACT and achieve their goals. They maintain a conscious awareness of all of their financial affairs at all times.
Part of financial awareness is recognizing risk. Every person is different, but all of us face financial risks, like sudden ill health, education fees, child care, the security of our assets. It is important to be aware of the risks and where possible mitigate against them.
Stay Positive
Positive outlooks create positive outcomes. It is as simple as that. It is important to nourish yourself with positive thoughts and attitudes. Use positive thinking techniques and affirmations to bring and maintain your positive attitude. If you experience negativity, use your positive thinking to turn it around and find the positive outlook.
Trust Yourself
Trust Yourself above all others. Trust your ability and your instincts about your own financial affairs. If your knowledge is weak, aquire it. Only YOU have your own best interests foremost in your mind. Others may have slightly different agendas. Learn to trust your own judgement and to always have complete knowledge so that you can rely on your judgement without doubt. Where necessary, take advice - but ultimately - trust yourself and your own instincts.
Take Responsibility
Take responsibility for your Financial Position. You are where you are now as a result of decisions YOU have made (or not made) in the past. By recognizing this, by taking responsibility for your own financial actions and learning from them - you can learn from failures and successes. It is a common mistake to look for others to blame for their own predicament without recognizing that THEY ALWAYS HAD A CHOICE. No matter how difficult or unpalatable that choice may have been, there is always a choice. Ultimately we are, each of us, responsible for ourselves.
Take Financial Control
Take charge of your finances, you need to understand them intimately. Know what you are earning, what you are spending. Plan you financial strategy and put it into action. Remember - Your money is your power, make the most of it.
Release All Fear
Fear is one of the greatest blocks to success and wealth. You must face your fears - see Facing Your Fears. Fear stifles energy and creativity and this not only blocks your ability to achieve wealth but impacts success in all aspects of your life.
Be Honest
Honesty is vital, particularly self-honesty. Without it, we are unable to get to the truth and make decisions based on that truth. Without truth, you may be left laying plans and taking actions on illusions and fantasy. The more honest you are yourself, the more honest will find the people you surround yourself with. Like attracts like is part of the Law of Attraction. Set a high standard, be as honest as you can with all around you and expect the same from them.
Be Grateful
It may seem like a small thing, but it is not. Learn to be grateful for the things you already have. Take the time to recognise the good things you already possess. Doing so opens up your ability to receive more prosperity. If you fail to recognise and be grateful for the things that you have already achieved, you undermine your ability to reach out for more. Each day, write down 5 things that have happened that you can be grateful for. It can be anything - from a generous smile, to a big bonus.

12 Principles Of Wealth Creation
Outlined below are the key principles of Wealth, the practical skills and attitudes that must be adopted to achieve great wealth. Most of these requirements are not difficult and are within the grasp of ANYONE who strongly DESIRES wealth or who wants to achieve any other worthy cause.
The principles below have been thoughly researched and are loosely based on those presented in "Think and Grow Rich" - one of the most inspirational and respected books on wealth creation - ever. You can download your copy here.
Desire
Without desire, there is no drive or momentum to propel someone forward through any difficulties to success. Desire is truly the very foundation of success. The more powerful the desire the more likely that desire will manifest to a successful conclusion.
Faith
There can be no room for doubt, there must be total belief in self and the process that is being undertaken. Doubts undermine success by creating FEARS that block the ability to move forward. Faith removes all limitations. Impossible is not a word that someone with faith will recognise - everything is possible!
Positive Self-Talk & Affirmations
Use the powerful metaphysical technique of positive affirmations to maintain a positive outlook. It is a method by which you can voluntarly feed the subconscious mind with positive and creative thoughts. Modern research has verified the power of this technique in creating a positive outlook that translated into positive outcomes.
Specialized Knowledge
"Knowledge is Power" is a mantra believed by many, but the reality is that knowledge is just POTENTIAL power. It only becomes power when and if it is organised into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.
For the aquisition of wealth, You do not have to possess knowledge. Where specialised knowledge is required, you may either aquire it yourself or it can be purchased. It is important to know how and where to aquire knowledge but equally important that the knowledge itself must be organized and used directly towards some worthy end, if it is to have any value.
Do not let a lack of knowledge or schooling stop you, some of the most successful and wealthy entrepreneurs have had barely ANY education. You can aquire what you need to achieve your goals.
Imagination
Man has been gifted with the wonderful power of imagination, from which pours the dreams and aspirations that we seek. Imagination is the power that allows us to see past what is, to what could be. It creates our dreams and drives our desires, it is our creative powerhouse. If we choose to use it that is.
Strong desire stimulates imagination and creative solutions. Disinterest kills it. Regular use of imagination empowers and strengthens the ability to create possibilities. Take every opportunity to use your imagination to be creative, to "think outside the box" of your exisiting beliefs and knowledge of the world.
Imagination is the power that transforms intangible thoughts and desires into practical plans, it uses the power of your mind and imagination to create possibilities, solutions and plans that will advance you towards your goals.
Planning
The most intelligent man living cannot succeed in accumulating wealth, or any other endeavour for that matter, without plans that are practical and workable. It is important to bring as many minds as possible to the creation of your plans and to keep building and re-building plans until the plan is faultless.
Your achievement can be no better than your plans are sound, so it is important that they are as good as they can be.
Decisiveness
One of the biggest causes of failure is indecisiveness. Procrastination is the common enemy that everyone must conquer. Successful people reach their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly. People who fail to achieve wealth usually have the habit of reaching decisions slowly, if at all and changing their minds quickly and often.
It is important to develop the habit of reaching YOUR OWN DECISIONS , without the influence of others, in reaching YOUR GOALS. Reaching quick and firm decisions like this can often be difficult and requires COURAGE.
Those who make decisions promptly and definitly, know what they want, and generally get it.
Persistence
No man is ever beaten, until he quits - in his own mind. The combination of will-power and persistence make an irresistible force. It puts the back-bone into desire and gives the power to continue in the face of set-back and failure, to get back up, make a new plan and step forward again. Persistence pays and is a characteristic of the successful.
Positive Alliances
Surround yourself with creative positive people who can advance your plans. Your exact relationship to these people is not important. What is important is that they are able to contribute to your plans and that the relationships are harmonious. Such an alliance of minds provides obvious economic benefits, but at a spiritual level the creative synergy of the group connection provides a very powerful and creative energy that can drive a project forward and surmount obstacles that a man on his own could not.
Focussing Energy
This includes the concept of "Sexual transmutation", the process of channeling sexual energy into the creative faculty. The desire for sexual expression is by far the strongest human emotion and for this reason this desire, when harnessed and transmuted into action (other than physical expression) may raise one to the status of genius.
However it is often the case that below the age of 40 this energy is not harnessed and results in a dissipation of energy. Use sexual energy and harness it, apply it into the wealth creation process to achieve staggering results.
The Mind and the Subconscious
The subconscious mind is always at work. It is the root of our desires, thoughts and ultimately actions. It is the part of us that has the strongest spiritual connection to the universe around us. It holds the beliefs and thought patterns that make us who we are.
The previous actions of desire and positive self-talk are designed to act upon the subconscious in a positive way to allow your subconscious energy to focus on the task with positive energy.
In reality, our subconscious carries many patterns learned and absorbed as children. These deep-rooted patterns form the foundation of our beliefs about ourselves and have a powerful influence on how we react to events in adulthood. Some of these behaviours may be positive others may be negative, effectively sabotaging every effort we make to advance ourselves. Invariably, these negative beliefs are based in FEAR and must be overcome to achieve great success. See Facing Fears.
Intuition - Spiritual Awakening
At the very pinnacle of the twelve principles of wealth creation comes 'intuition' our 6th sense. By applying all the previous principles, by freeing yourself of fear or doubt you awaken the most powerful force of all - Your spiritual connection to the universe. It is this spiritual connection to the universe around us from which inspiration, ideas, even warnings flow that keep us atuned to the world around us and allow us to act and respond - intuitively.
We live in an ocean of infinite possibilities, everything is possible. Research in quantum physics is now finding common ground with spirituality with the concept that at a fundamental level - we are all connected, that our thoughts are creative and powerful. People who can harness this spiritual energy and bring it to bear on their advancement will find that the universe responds and brings them what they desire.

Money, Wealth, Riches and Success - We all want these things, isn't that obvious? Well actually - no. The truth is that most people's desire for wealth is at best 'superficial', the kind of desire that fails at the first temptation. Burning desire is the foundation of achieving wealth. Without that powerful desire, it becomes difficult to do the things that are necessary to achieve financial success.
The Purpose Of Money
Desire Is The Foundation of Success
Is Your Desire Strong Enough?
Turn Desire into a Burning Obsession
The Purpose Of Money
Life is a vibrant expanding thing that always seeks to make the most of itself. In order for people to develop fully in mind, body and spirit and to achieve their life goals and dreams, it is necessary aquire money. This is because our society is organised so that one must have money in order to possess and achieve things in the physical world. The aquisition of wealth is therefore an integral part of advancing ourselves - no matter what we choose to do with our lives. Our ability to advance ourselves and our dreams sits hand-in-hand with our ability to aquire wealth.
Once you understand the real purpose of money it is easier to see the importance of both aquiring and desiring money. It is NOT for the posession of money itself - that is just paper. But the power it gives to aquire things that will allow you to advance toward your life goals.
Desire is the Foundation of Success
Our minds become magnetized by the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds. It is the power of these thought and intentions that cause us to attract, like a magnet, the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts. This is why having a Burning Desire is an essential element of success.
Is Your Desire Strong Enough?
The necessary desire is best described as obsession. Nothing will stand in the way, no set back will be sufficient, no obstacle a barrier to the power of such a desire. It is the hallmark of the great achievers throughout history , that they have achieved their success and wealth through unstinting desire, faith and persistence, often through much difficulty and set-back. Holding such desire requires great strength of character and self-belief, but this power is available to anyone who is prepared to grasp it.
Turn Desire into a Burning Obsession
Turning your desire into such a powerful inferno may seem daunting to some, but the reality is that ANYONE CAN ACHIEVE IT, it requires a shift in thinking and perspective, a simple mental switch.
Below is a six step plan - outlined by Napolean Hill in his book "Think and Grow Rich" that is designed to help develop desire and turn it into the wealth you desire. Many will recognize several well established metaphysical techniques.
Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say ?I want plenty of money.? Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness, be definite and don't hold back).
Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing".)
Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after getting up in the morning. AS YOU READ?SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.

Bad Spending Habits can easily become a million dollar spending habit. Stop wasting money on things you don't need or want, break the habit and start putting money towards what you really want, achieving your dreams. When you do this something magical happens, you find yourself on the right side of the money machine and cannot help but attract more. It is the fundamental Law Of Attraction.
Making a million and becoming a millionaire is only a matter of time if you can break your million dollar habit. If you have a million dollar habit, you are simply throwing away your million without even realizing it! Often all it it takes is a 'change of mind' an absolute decision to break the patterns of the past and embrace a new future. A simple change in perspective can bring huge financial rewards.
Financial Freedom is something everyone wants and if you can afford a million dollar habit, then you can afford to be very wealthy indeed or become a millionaire. Your already have sufficient income to achieve it! You would expect only the rich and well-off to have this kind of spending habit, but it cuts accross all income brackets. For many, their reckless spending is impoverishing them when in fact they could be well on their way to making a million or living the millionaire lifestyle.
If you desire money to start living and achieving your dreams then there are only two questions you need to ask - Do I have a million dollar spending habit and am I prepared to give it up? Whether you choose to give up a bad habit or not is YOUR choice, however, you can use our unique Million Dollar Habit Calculator to work out what its really costing you and if it is a Million Dollar Habit. Even if it isn't a million, the amount is likely to shock you!
Million Dollar Habit Calculator
One of the key secrets of money is that little amounts matter. Even the smallesr amount of money, given enough time and the magic of compound interest will grow into a million dollars. Regular small amounts of money can grow into a very large pot of money.
Scrimping and Saving every penny is not the answer, smart spending is. Smart Spending is where you only spend money on things that take you forwards towards your life goals. Money spent on things you don't need or really want, that does not in some way advance you in mind,body or spirit is simply wasted money. Throwing money away like this, drains money away from achieving your dreams and leaves you financially diminished.
Identifying Bad Spending Habits
Even small habits can add up to a million dollar spending habit, so when you look at your expenditures, remember to add up all those little daily habits. Bad spending habits are something we all have to a lesser or greater degree. We are all exposed to high levels of advertising and social pressuress that are very difficult to resist. Spending can quickly become habitual and when it does it almost disappears off the map of consciousness.
Spending diaries are a great way of checking out what you really spend in a day. Simply carry a notebook around with you every day for a normal working week noting down every cent of expenditure. At the end of the week you may be shocked at what you spend or could be saving.
Uncover spending habits by examining honestly what you spend your money on and determine if this expenditure is really enhancing your life. You need to prioritize spending and eliminate wasteful spending habits in favor of saving money for what you really want.
Big Spending Habits
Big spending habits are nearly always million dollar spending habits. They are often associated with other emotional issues or fears that may need to be tackled. These include habits like:
SmokingSmoking not only seriously ruins your health but seriously damages your financial health also. The financial cost of smoking is very high and when additional medical costs are taken into account, potentially devastating. Make a positive health choice to give up smoking and put the money toward the things you really want in life. Consider the "Stop Smoking in One Hour" program.
DrinkingAlcoholic drinks are expensive and their effect is to make you ineffective. If you choose to reduce or give up your drinking habit, you could put the money towards a happier and wealthier life. See - Natural Cure for Alcohol Addiction
Drugs & Other illegal SubstancesDrugs are used by people who are unable to face the reality of their lives and use them to esacape. Just don't go there or give it up. It will destroy your finances as surely as it will destroy your life. See - Addiction Free Forever Program
GamblingIf you gamble your money, you are not respecting money and you can be certain of only one thing. You will lose it.
Shopaholic or Excessive ShoppingYou cannot fill an emotional hole in your life with things no matter how much you buy. If you believe you are a compulsive shopper look for your answers inside and seek to heal the emotional problems behind you shopping habit.
Other Obsessive BehaviorsThe basis is the same as for shopaholics but manifests itself in other expensive ways such as hording, collecting etc.
So, do you have a million dollar habit? Maybe that habit is only costing you $100,000, or only $10,000. But I bet if you thought about it there would be plenty of things you would RATHER have done with that money.
I wonder how many people, would give up a habit that they probably would never miss if they knew that their financial freedom was at stake. Life and money share many characteristics. Just like money, making small life choices can have a massive effect on life outcomes!

Money is one of those subjects that no one likes to talk about. We can talk about almost anything else to our friends, share our most intimate secrets, but money remains a taboo subject, a guaranteed conversation killer.
Yet money is one of the most important aspects of our lives. Money represents our energy and power to achieve and acquire things in the physical world. Without enough money, our ability to live fully will be limited. It is therefore an important life goal to achieve sufficient money and wealth to live to our full potential.
The good news is that anyone can create wealth and as much money as they need, if they choose to do so. The world is infinitely abundant. There is no limit to the amount of wealth that can be created. The only thing standing in the way of anyone being wealthy is their own attitude towards money and their knowledge of the key principles of money that surround wealth creation.
Becoming wealthy becomes straightforward and virtually guaranteed when you are able to overcome your own fears and emotional issues about money and to completely incorporate the principles of money into your life. Like many things in life, knowing what you should do is only part of the battle. Going out and actually making it happen in your life is the real challenge.

Consciously utilizing The Power Of Gratitude is an extremely important aspect of attracting to yourself the Abundance and Happiness that you desire and deserve in your life.
First, let's explore how sincere gratefulness works from a strictly scientific perspective and how, through our individual choice to develop a consistent habit of expressing heartfelt gratitude enacts the unwavering power of Universal Law to draw more to be grateful for.
As we've discovered in the Law of Vibration , everything within our universe broken down into it's purest form is a vibrating mass of atoms and subatomic particles. (Energy) Through the Law of Attraction , the energy (vibrations) that you resonate and project based on your thoughts, feelings, and emotions determines your "vibrational frequency" which broadcasts that frequency, attracts to it energy or vibrational frequencies that harmonize or resonate with it which determines the events, situations, and circumstances that you attract and eventually see manifest into your life.
What does that have to do with the Power Of Gratitude?
Absolutely Everything!
When you are in a sincere state of gratitude your energy (vibrational resonance) is one of acceptance and harmony. You resonate and as a result project a much higher vibrational frequency which is exactly what attracts to you the events, conditions, and circumstances that you desire.
To provide more clarity on the resonance created and projected by gratitude consider the following analogy...
Think of yourself as a giant magnet. Whatever you are feeling, whether it be love, fear, anger, happiness, anger, joy, gratitude, resistance etc. you are in essence creating a magnetic force that attracts and draws to you events, conditions and circumstances which are in direct correlation to what you are feeling. Fear of something creates a magnetic force that will attract more of what you fear. Expressing Gratitude for any situation projects a magnetic force that draws to you more of what you are expressing gratitude for.
In other words gratitude puts you in a harmonious vibrational resonance which attracts additional energies
At any time that you are NOT expressing gratitude for an outcome you are in essence resisting the outcome which places your focus on NOT WANTING that outcome. When this happens what are your thoughts and emotions fixated on? What you DON"T want, correct? That focus of NOT wanting creates a "magnetic force" which only serves to draw to you more of that which you are NOT WANTING or resisting.
Let's look at the difference between expressing gratitude and resistance in your day to day life...
When you experience an outcome that you find displeasing and you choose to fight or resist whatever is happening in your life at any given moment you are actually creating resistance, which puts you in a disharmonious vibration, or a lower vibrational frequency, and we all know what begins to happen then, don't we? You resonate with and begin to attract the dis-harmonious events, conditions and circumstances into your life that you are resisting. As mentioned above, you are drawing to you or attracting through your "magnetic force" the polar opposite of what you have a desire to experience.
Resistance is placing focus on what you would rather NOT have happening which is in essence creating and projecting a magnetic force which is drawing to you what it is that you are placing your predominant focus on (resisting) or DON"T have a desire to experience. This focus can only draw more of that which you are focusing on.
Gratitude on the other hand is an acceptance of things just the way they are which correlates with acceptance which in turn resonates and projects a much different resonance of energy creating a magnetic force that is conducive to attracting the "desired" outcome.
A common question that comes up is......
"How in the world can I be in a state of gratitude when everything seems to be going wrong? Let's dig down a bit deeper, analyze this a little further and you'll have a crystal clear understanding of what is actually happening.
First of all it's important to recognize the importance of accepting responsibility for whatever is going on in your life. As we've covered in The Power Of Thoughts , the events, conditions and circumstances that you're currently experiencing are manifestations based on thoughts and emotions that you've chosen at some point in the past. It's due to those thoughts and emotions which represent the seeds, that you are experiencing whatever outcome you currently are. Remember, you are the one that thinks your thoughts. Your thoughts do not think you. In the same way, the emotions experienced serve as a gauge and are a reflection of the quality of thoughts that you are thinking.
Since your current outcomes are based on what you have thought and felt at some point in the past and those outcomes are now being experienced in your life, guess who created them? YOU did!! Although that may not make you feel any better about them just yet, consider this...
Since it is you that is responsible for attracting and creating "undesirable outcomes, then isn't it also possible to change the thoughts and emotions responsible for creating them which will produce the desired result? Absolutely!!
Simply recognizing the fact that you brought them into your life in and of itself provides you with an understanding of your creative power which in and of itself should instill a sense of gratitude that you've been provided the choice as to what you will create for your life.
Although prior to understanding how this process works you were in essence "unconsciously creating", now you can begin to "consciously create" more to express gratitude for.
Once you fully grasp and understand that your current experiences here and now are merely guideposts showing you that you are either on the right path of creating your desired outcomes or that you need to make some adjustments in your thought processes that created them, you will become empowered to express heartfelt gratitude for whatever is currently happening in your life recognizing the fact that YOU created it.
Sure...you could get mad at yourself and choose to be upset but what energy are you resonating through that choice? NOT the kind that will attract desired outcomes for sure.
Your perception of something going wrong is only your perception, that is all. A misguided perception based on false beliefs and a lack of understanding that EVERYTHING unfolds in your life perfectly just as you choose and instruct.
In the bigger scheme of things, Nothing EVER goes "wrong." It is only based on a lack of deeper understanding concerning the process of creation that you "perceive" something as going wrong. The process of creation NEVER wavers. It is, has been and always will be perfect, precise and unfailing 100% of the time.
It is only wrong thought and wrong perceptions that are responsible for igniting emotions that attract creations that show up in your life in the form of events, conditions and circumstances that you perceive as "going wrong."
It's important to recognize and express gratitude for the fact that EVERYTHING in your life is a miracle, a creation that YOU created.
Creation, regardless of how you might perceive it is ALWAYS 100% of the time a miracle. Learn to recognize that fact and express gratitude for EVERY miracle in your life and you will begin to see the life changing power that gratitude holds in creating MUCH more to be grateful for.
Those miracles (creations) which show up that aren't in harmony with your intended or desired outcomes are merely signs that YOU need to make adjustments within yourself. When you fully grasp and internalize this truth you'll learn to express gratitude for the sign that you mis-created it and that you have been provided with the evidence that will enable you to change the thoughts, emotions and perceptions which brought it into your life.
Your perceptions regarding any event, condition or circumstance are only based on a memory of something in the past that is stored in your subconscious mind and can be consciously changed if you discover that it is not in harmony with what you have a desire to accomplish.
For example, let's look at two people with totally different perceptions regarding the same situation, and see first hand what an attitude of gratitude is, and isn't.
This analogy will validate the old saying that "There's a silver lining in EVERY cloud." That's MUCH more true than most understand.
Let's say that you wake up on a Saturday morning after a good nights rest. You've worked hard all week and you're really looking forward to getting outside and playing in a golf tournament that you had entered, and enjoying your weekend of R&R. You're feeling pretty good about the day ahead of you. You make your coffee and head for the window to open the blinds. You get them opened up and look out the window. ARGGHHHHHH, it's raining outside!
Next, your self talk kicks in and it goes something like this. "Oh man, my whole day is ruined. I was planning on doing this and that and now I can't. Why do things always have to happen like that? Another weekend shot! I can't ever get a break!"
Obviously your perception is that everything went wrong and your whole weekend is ruined. Based on your thought pattern and perception, your right, it is. Unless you are able to change that perception, you'll allow yourself to have a less than desirable weekend. In fact, by remaining in this state, you will literally attract additional events, conditions, and circumstances to you that will make Certain that you have a less than desirable weekend!
This is a classic case of resistance, or ungratefulness. No silver lining here right?
Now let's take a look at the neighbor down the street who always seems to have things going his way. Let's imagine it's the same scenario. He has worked all week and made plans to play in the same golf tournament that you were entered in.
He walks to the window, opens the shades and sees exactly the same situation that you did when you opened them except, although he initially has a little disappointment because he can't go to the golf tournament he was planning on, he decides that there is nothing he can do to change the situation and begins his habitual thought process and self talk which goes something like this...
"Boy I sure was looking forward to that golf tournament. Oh well, I've got a few things that need to get done around here today anyway. That means I don't have to water the grass for a few days and that will sure save a little on my water bill. It's been a few weeks since it rained and we sure needed it."
Although the person in the second example was a little disappointed initially, a conscious decision was made that wouldn't allow it to ruin the entire weekend and shifted the focus to something more positive and productive.
This is a classic case of remaining in gratitude, regardless. No resistance, no allowing undesired emotions to ignite and the end result is a harmonious vibration.
Do you see what I mean about perception? Same situation, different people, different perception, different outcome.
Although that's a "physical" example, it conveys from that perspective how varying perceptions can create completely opposite experiences.
When you have developed a crystal clear understanding that all things work for the greater good no matter how seemingly bad things may appear, it becomes much easier to stay in a state of gratitude.
When you are able to fully develop that awareness, (and with a little practice, you will) not only is it an extremely freeing experience, but you are setting your self up for a much greater flow of Abundance and Happiness being attracted and coming into your life...EVERY area of your life! When the Universe sees that you are grateful for what you have, it will send you more.
This is exactly how Universal Laws operate. The universe doesn't perceive anything as good or bad, it only sends outcomes to you based on your vibrational resonance, and your attitude concerning any given thing is exactly what determines that vibrational resonance.
God, Universal Consciousness, Super-Conscious Mind or whatever you perceive Source to be, loves each person unconditionally exactly the same and only delivers to each precisely what we are asking for, based on our individually chosen vibrational output. If that output resonates anger, fear, doubt, worry etc. the vibrational resonance that you're projecting communicates and the universe perceives that you are asking for outcomes based on that output, and that is exactly what you'll receive!
As spiritual text states it..."As you sow, so shall you reap."
On the other hand, by learning to consciously control the emotions that determine that output, and developing the ability to remain in a state of Gratitude regardless of what the situation may temporarily consist of, your vibrational output or magnetically attractive force is conducive to attracting outcomes that are in vibrational resonance with Gratitude and you can only attract to you the events, conditions and circumstances that are in alignment with Gratitude. Positive and Desired Outcomes!
We can't possibly control everything that is going on around us in the world but we can most certainly control ourselves and how we perceive what's going on.
The unwavering systems (Universal Laws) have been put into place, and you only need to learn to operate in harmony with them, which will allow you to attract the Abundance and Happiness that you desire.
Developing an attitude of gratitude is one of the most important things that you can do for attracting and manifesting the things that you desire into your life. In fact, if you have a desire to consistently attract desired outcomes, it's essential that you do!
"The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings." — Eric Hoffer
Action Steps To Develop Your Attitude Of Gratitude
Ok, now that you have a feel for the importance of expressing gratitude in your day to day outcomes, regardless of what they are, let's explore a few ways to develop an attitude of gratitude that will positively effect what you see manifest in your life everyday.
By focusing on and compiling a list of the things that you are grateful for in your life actually accomplishes a few extremely effective things at the same time.
#1 It allows you to bring into your conscious awareness the good things that are happening in your life on a day to day basis, and with repetition, will take your focus off of what you perceive as the negative aspects of any situation.
It's purpose is to put you more into a mindset of finding that you really do have good, positive things happening to you in all areas of your life, and shifts the focus off of what you perceive to be negative.
In essence it is a conscious choice to focus on gratitude rather than choosing what the mass majority does which is "unconsciously" allowing their thoughts, emotions and focus to run wild all the while believing that their a victim of circumstance rather than a creator of circumstance.
It's no secret that life can deal what "appears" and is often "perceived" to be a bad hand sometimes, but if you will look hard for it, you can find the good in any situation. Sometimes the answer isn't readily available, but just the knowing that all things happen for the greater good, is enough to keep you from falling into resistance, and keep it from getting worse.
#2 By shifting the focus off of only the negative aspect of a situation, you are able to see more clearly the positive things that can come out of this situation, which in turn puts you into more of a vibrational state that will attract the things that you desire.
#3 While you are doing this procedure, it is automatically rewriting the negative script that through repetition, you have allowed to be written in your subconscious and replacing it with positive and productive scripting that will deliver to you, more positive and productive outcomes.
Technique #1 : The Mental Gratitude List
By developing the discipline to practice this technique every day, you will find that it becomes easier and easier to do, and the results, meaning the attraction of more to express gratitude for, will be dramatic.
There are actually several ways that you can do gratitude exercises. Personally I find what works best for me is to mentally go over my list of things to be grateful for as I meditate . The reason this is such an effective method is because during meditation, your brain wave activity is lowered dramatically into an alpha state, which allows the affirmations to penetrate deeper into the subconscious portion of your mind, and has a quicker, deeper, and longer lasting effect with less effort.
If your not into the meditation thing, you can also go over a mental list as you do the things that relax you, such as working in the garden, walking in the park, going fishing, or whatever relaxation activities that you do.
It's not nearly as important precisely how you do your gratitude exercises as it is that you make certain to do them.
You'll find that doing your gratitude work consistently delivers results more quickly, and is much more effective if you can do it while you are in a more relaxed state of mind.
If you are at a place where you are totally unable to quite your mind and anxious most of the time, you may find the next method to be more effective, initially.
Technique #2 : The Written Out Gratitude List
This method is equally as effective and actually accomplishes the same end result as the first technique.
Just take out a piece of paper and make a hand written list of the things that you can think of that you are grateful for. Think deeply about each area of your life and begin to write in detail the good things that come to your mind as you write.
Don't fight it or strain attempting to come up with things, just "allow" them to flow.
Depending on your particular situation, you may find that it's hard to come up with things to be grateful for initially, so dig deep and things will begin to flow. Make sure though that you are finding and writing things that you are sincerely grateful for. If the emotion isn't there, the result won't be either.
To give an example, let's say that your working on a relationship issue. You and your significant other have been at odds for some time and you are feeling really hurt and angry over the situation. Although your state of mind is telling you how angry you are, think about the good that you saw in this person that attracted you to them initially. Begin to write down what comes to mind and more will follow. Write in as much detail as you are able regarding each item on your list. If it is hard initially, that's OK, just do the best you can. It will become easier and easier the more you practice at it.
Utilize this technique in whatever area of your life you are working on, regardless if it's money, health, relationships, or all three. It is extremely powerful and with practice and persistence you will begin to see circumstances begin to change almost magically.
Make a commitment to yourself that you will do this at least once per day and stick to that commitment. It doesn't have to take a long time. Even 5 minutes is better than not at all. Put into it the time that you can spare, but make sure you do it every day.
You'll be pleased with the results.
There are a few quotes that come to mind with regard to gratitude and the power that it has.
One is...
"When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears" -Anthony Robbins
Another is...
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." - Wayne Dyer
And an even more powerful one that provides VERY specific instruction with regard to gratitude is...
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -The Bible-Phil 4:6-7 NKJV
Ok...just one more and I'll stop...
"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation." -Brian Tracy
The bottom line is that gratitude plays an extremely important role in beginning to consciously and intentionally create desired outcomes in your life...EXTREMELY important!!
It's my hope that you'll think about this and choose gratitude for yourself. It will make ALL the difference.
I would encourage you to develop your understanding with regard to the importance of gratitude and how from a "deeper perspective" it does serve to mold and shape a far more pleasing quality of life.

What we personally choose to refer to as Abundance and Happiness

By Discovering And Initiating Correct Action Today, YouWill Have Discovered The Key To Allowing Yourself To SoarTo New Heights Never Before ImaginedThe Power Of Action is undoubtedly an extremely important part of realizing and utilizing the unlimited potential that has been provided and been made available to you.
The action principles discussed in this section are not some "Newly Discovered Secret" but are based on "Age Old Wisdom" as well as recently discovered scientific proof substantiating their existence, power, and effectiveness, and which have empowered millions to achieve dramatic life enhancement experiences in EVERY area of their lives.
As with anything in life, the principles covered will only be effective if you choose to become consciously aware of their truth and implement them in your life. Regardless of how powerful any knowledge may be, it will prove to be useless unless and until the correct action is taken to implement it. The specific steps discussed here can and will have a profoundly positive effect in changing the results you are currently experiencing in your life IF you will choose to utilize them.
The specific type of actions that are necessary and will be discussed in this section, will no doubt go against the traditional and conventional wisdom of the world and the current beliefs that are currently held by the majority, which are in many cases wrongly perceived as truth and reality.
The actions that are necessary which will empower you to achieve and experience a life of limitless blessings are well within your grasp to comprehend and initiate, and will have a profoundly positive impact if you choose to consistently utilize them.
The results that are derived from these actions, extend far beyond what we as humans can possibly do as individuals through mere physical activity. Although physical action is most certainly a part of the process and necessary, by becoming aware of and initiating the plan of action that you are soon to discover will enable pleasing and desired results in EVERY area of your life and enable you to perform physical actions that are pleasing rather than displeasing.
The action steps required to begin achieving phenomenal results in your life may very well require a shift in your traditionally established thinking process and require you to remain open minded enough to establish the real truth which may go against what many have been taught and come to believe and currently perceive as truth. As you'll soon discover the current actions which the majority are currently taking, which are perceived and accepted as reality based on the traditionally established conventional wisdom of the world are in many cases the very actions that are dramatically limiting your results.
With That Said Let's Get Started.....
Contrary to many of the false teachings that so many have been exposed to, living a life of Fulfillment, Joy, and Abundance has absolutely nothing to do with.....
* Working More Hours
* Working Longer and Harder
* Sacrificing Your Most Sacred Values
* Going Further Into Debt
* Being In Church Every Time The Door Opens
* Becoming A Monk In Ethiopia
It is this common type of worldly action that has caused the majority to focus specifically on the effects, and have allowed themselves to take their eyes off of the Cause (Source) from which ALL things are derived and which has the ability and the desire to provide you with more than you could possibly fathom!
When you begin to allow this shift in your traditional thinking process, and initiate what you are soon to discover as "powerfully effective action" you will begin to realize, achieve, and experience dramatic, positive and profound changes in relation to your life experiences, (the desired results) and is the crucial first step in beginning to develop your ability to attract and experience the life of Abundance and Happiness that you were created to enjoy and desire to attain.
Contrary to traditionally established methods, the type of action that you will be taking, if you choose to do so, will provide external results which are far more desirable and physically pleasing than those that you may be currently experiencing. These actions will empower you to experience outcomes far greater than what has become accepted as the "Norm", but can only be realized if you are willing to expand your awareness, shift your paradigms, and shed the lack and self limiting thinking processes that have limited your results and held you bound to a life of limitation to this point.
The effectiveness of the action which you are soon to discover has nothing to do with being religious or possessing a spiritual or scientific understanding concerning the unfolding of the effects experienced in the physical world, although these areas of study for some may enhance and provide the means to further develop your "faith" or belief concerning the power that it holds.
Some will find that spiritual principles in and of themselves will provide the understanding necessary. Others may require a more physically verifiable scientific understanding as to how these events conditions and circumstances come to exist in the physical world. Still others may require an understanding of both as a means to develop the necessary belief as to the power that you hold. Regardless of which area that is required for you individually, by seeking and exploring deeper into both you would soon develop the awareness that each when analyzed deeply enough leads to One ultimate understanding. Regardless of your individual preference, by making a conscious choice to delve deeply enough you would discover that both lead to the One True Source of ALL effects.
Regardless of the avenue in which you use to develop your understanding, you will discover that the message when broken down and closely observed boils down to your quality of consciousness. In other words...The thoughts that you think, the beliefs that you hold will determine the kind and quality of your life.
Dispelling The Common Beliefs Concerning Action
The common thinking of the world is that you must work harder, longer, and with more physical intensity than the average person if you are to rise above the mediocrity of just making a living. So many in our world have developed falsely established beliefs that you must work in occupations that are displeasing or un-fulfilling regardless of how you feel about them because of the conventional and traditional wisdom that says, "That is just the way the world works."
Many have accepted these false and self limiting beliefs as truth and as a result spend their entire lives feeling helpless, hopeless, and stuck in seemingly desperate circumstances because the world has impressed these man made beliefs on them, which they have accepted as fact and truth. This form of acceptance (regardless of how untrue) becomes stored as a belief and determines the ability of the believer, which in this case results in lack and limitation.
It is exactly this lack and limitation type of thinking that causes so many to spend the majority of their existence so concerned with just making a living, that they lose sight of the hopes, dreams, and ambitions that were once held as dear, which results in them losing hope in, and failing to ever discover and implement the "real truth", more specifically the correct actions that would enable them to fulfill them. Inevitably their focus turns only to making a living, and robs any hope of allowing them to ever fully experience and enjoy their life.
If hard work alone truly were the answer to achieving success, why is it that the majority in our world fail to achieve it and only a very small minority are able to enjoy and benefit from it? The majority in our world work hard most of their lives only to find that the action taken, what they were led to believe to be true with respect to "doing whatever it takes" from merely a physical perspective in the majority of cases only leads to living out "the golden years" in lack and struggle.
What about the small percentage who do achieve lives of fulfillment and plenty? What is the difference between them and those that seem to struggle through life? The common belief is that "they are lucky" or "were in the right place at the right time" or "have superior formal education" etc. etc. etc.
The real truth is that they have learned the correct action to take that the majority fail to recognize. Whether consciously or unconsciously they properly implement the necessary action which leads to success and fulfillment in life.
As you will soon discover the action necessary to achieve phenomenal success in EVERY area of life whether physically, relationally, emotionally, spiritually or financially is not derived for many of the common reasons that you currently believe that they are.
The kind of action that you are soon to discover and will be challenged to take has nothing to do with sacrificing your highest values such as truth, spirituality, family time, time to spend on the things that you enjoy etc., and will actually encourage and enable you to put more focus on these important areas.
It is by learning to take this unique form of action which has far more powerful results than the typical, and common worldly teachings, or what any man or woman can take credit or responsibility for through physical means, that will turn your life into an incredible journey of Joy and Plenty in every conceivable area of your life.
Based on the current, and predominant world views and beliefs that have been impressed upon, absorbed, and established as truth by the majority of people in the world, it has become "seemingly" necessary for many 2 income families to work 60-80 hour work weeks in order to provide the necessities needed to adequately care for a family. It has become accepted as necessary to place your children in unfamiliar surroundings with unfamiliar people to be cared for and taught based on the beliefs of those caretakers, rather than the loving, caring and nurturing atmosphere of the family unit. It is obvious that these currently held beliefs are the very reason that an estimated 97% of the population spend 40+ years working hard, in most cases at jobs that they find displeasing, only to spend the remainder of their retirement years in financial struggle.
Based on the current, predominant human worldly views of necessary action, we find ourselves engaged in horrendous wars around the globe, fuel prices at all time incredible highs, out of control medical expenses, unaffordable insurance premiums, mind numbing tax rates, and skyrocketing food prices.
It is by accepting and implementing this type of common worldly thinking and action that has dramatically increased poverty, homelessness, illness and disease, mental and emotional issues, financial and moral bankruptcy, broken homes, and many more issues that seem to have taken hold of entire societies worldwide.
Unfortunately, it is these very types of traditionally established beliefs that are passed on to our children, which continue to produce the same results, generation after generation like an endless tape loop, because these are the action steps that we have been taught are necessary and absorbed as truth by well meaning parents, teachers, and leaders of our world.
Many have allowed themselves to absorb and hold as truth, these false, self limiting, self sabotaging, and destructive worldly views, and lost sight of the limitless hope and unfathomable Abundance made available to ALL by a limitless Creator, that is and always has been readily available to them, if only they would make the choice to become aware, believe, accept, and gain the correct wisdom, necessary and begin to take the correct action necessary to manifest it in their lives.
It will be absolutely necessary for you to change this form of what the world views as "necessary action" if you are to attain results that exceed what are perceived as the average people of our world.
As covered in the conscious mind section of this site, the true Source of Abundance and Happiness never has nor ever will, create anything that is average.
There is no such thing as average people in an unlimited universe that creates and provides to each, based on individual beliefs. There ARE average results no doubt based on your choices...but you ARE NOT average as many define average.
There is no such thing as an average manifestation. Regardless of how small an occurrence appears and is perceived to be, the process of attraction and creation is always a miracle and the outcomes of each of these miracles have only been limited by your beliefs and labeled based on your perceptions as to what manifests.
There is no such thing as an average person. There are only limiting beliefs formed and established by incredible and limitless beings that, based on their limiting beliefs, only have the ability to produce small miracles that are perceived by the world as average.
The reality is that EVERY outcome in life is a miracle...a creation based on the kind and quality of your consciousness.
Regardless of what you might currently perceive as truth, the "Real Truth" is thatYou were created as a limitless creature, created in the image and likeness of the Creator himself. The outcomes that you experience and see manifest in your life each and every day, appear and have been labeled as average only because you have allowed your subconscious mind to absorb and except as reality, these average self limiting beliefs which, based on the immutable and unwavering Laws of the universe, one being The Law Of Attraction , can only produce outcomes as BIG as your beliefs. The outcomes that you are experiencing and which are perceived by the world as average, are only producing self limiting results because of the self limiting beliefs that you hold and as a result of those beliefs determines the physical outcomes experienced based on your resonance!
Your current outcomes only appear to be average or limited because you have allowed your current beliefs to become so limiting and restrictive that, your most cherished and sought after dreams and desires are being thwarted due to those limiting beliefs, and subconsciously, that is all you are asking the Source to provide!
It is these average, limiting beliefs that keep the BIG things (BIG miracles) from manifesting in your life every single day!
In order to see and experience what the world perceives as BIG results in your life, you only need to take a course of action that will allow you to overwrite and replace the self limiting, average beliefs that you have absorbed and stored as truth through the years in your subconscious mind , and replace them with the BIG beliefs that are in alignment and harmonize with whatever big miracles that you have a desire to experience!
Although these current beliefs that you hold have been established as a result of the teachings you may have received as a child, at some point it is necessary to become aware of what is limiting your results, learn to begin accepting responsibility for the results that you are experiencing and make the conscious choice to discover the underlying cause for those outcomes.
So What Action Is Necessary To Achieve A Life Of Fulfillment?
Develop the awareness that YOU are responsible for creating the events, conditions and circumstances which make up your life experience.
Change the beliefs that are attracting to you and creating the outcomes that you are experiencing.
It is by changing these existing self limiting beliefs and beginning to utilize age old proven methods such as Positive Affirmations and Creative Visualizations that you will begin to discover the correct action to take with regard to experiencing those things that you most desire.
It is when you learn to become consciously aware of the minute by minute thoughts that you think and learn to release and eliminate the negative and limiting emotions that you experience as a result of them, that you will discover the BIG miracle producing power that has been made available to you.
"If we don't like what's happening to us in the world, all we have to do is change our consciousness -- and the world out there changes for us!"- Lester Levenson
Lack and Limitation Just Like Abundance and Happiness Are Merely A Product Of Mind
The universe doesn't perceive as you do, and knows no such language as lack and limitation, big or small, and will deliver to you as much or as little as as you will believe that it can, and allow to deliver to you.
Your current physical efforts are minuscule in comparison to the limitless power that is realized through taking the correct action, and once you have accepted and developed this awareness and make the choice to begin changing your beliefs concerning how you attain those things that you desire in your life, you will have discovered and unleashed a force FAR greater and much more powerful than any human physical effort could ever provide!
Yes physical action is necessary but the action steps presented to you when your consciousness is properly aligned with creating desired outcomes, those actions will become pleasing and produce "profound" results.
As can be discovered by becoming aware of the Law of Abundance , the Universe (Source) is capable and willing to provide you with far more than you could ever possibly imagine or conceive! In fact the only limitation is based on those imaginings and conceptions. You can NEVER out-believe the Source!!
By developing a greater awareness, expanding your imagination and making a conscious choice to dispel the self limiting perceptions that you hold, you will soon discover that what you experience in your life is limited only by the limitations that YOU place on yourself.
You will begin to allow it to deliver the BIG miracles that show up in the way of conditions, events, and circumstances into your life when you have developed the awareness, understanding, and belief that you are entitled to more of the BIG miracles than you currently experience due to what you have established and perceive to be truth.
If you want to manifest BIG results, form BIG beliefs! Maintain and hold on to your existing self limiting small beliefs, and you will continue to manifest what are perceived as small or "average results."

Absolutely.
Does the process have to be hard?
NO!
Our Source has never created anything that would be outside of your grasp or ability to understand or hide from you the means to properly activate it's correct function, and intended purpose.
You only need be willing to ask for the guidance to show you the way, delve into and seek out the resources that are made available to you, knock and be willing and ready to open the doors that will be shown to you as a result.
"Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened unto you. For everyone that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him that knocks, the door shall be opened" Luke 11;9-13 The Bible
The means that will enable you to discover the truth regarding your individual limitless ability are readily available if you'll only make the choice to open the doors which are already available.
Should you prefer the scientific proof concerning your true abilities, Quantum Physics provides the necessary knowledge needed to establish your understanding. Should you prefer spiritual principles which have existed for thousands and thousands of years to further develop your understanding, they too are readily available.
You only need take the action to discover the truth for yourself and eliminate the false self limiting beliefs that have limited your results. The only reason that you have allowed it to be so to this point, is that you have either never become aware of or realized the unlimited potential that is and always has been available to you, or have taken your eyes off of the Source that has promised a life of unlimited Abundance and Happiness to you. With that promise also comes the free will to choose to take the correct action that will allow you to experience it.
Many have unknowingly allowed self limiting, self sabotaging thoughts and beliefs to be absorbed into the most incredible, and sophisticated co-creation mechanism known to man, the subconscious mind. All people, you included, are literally creating the events, conditions and circumstances that you see in your life on a day to day basis and have come to know as reality! Many are doing this unconsciously and unknowingly.
It is imperative that you become conscious of what you are creating, and begin to Accept Resonsibility for those things, if you are ever to develop the ability to change what it is that you're creating!
Look around you and observe the quality of your own life. What have you been creating? What self limiting, self sabotaging beliefs have you allowed to hamper your quality of life?
Have you been correctly utilizing your free will to create those things that you most desire?
Has the action you have been taking to this point brought about the results that you MOST desire?
If Not......
You certainly have the ability to change it! Just begin making the correct choices and taking the correct action and believe it to be so.
The predominant views and perceptions of the world have become so limiting and obstructive that even many of the people who study and are able to recite verbatim, the great spiritual writings and scriptures of our world, somehow have come to find limitation in the promises made, and as a result never attain the unlimited Abundance and Happiness which has been made available to every person in our world.
The only action required on your part is to become aware of the life changing power of these truths, allow yourself to absorb and accept these promises as truth and establish the belief that you are entitled to them and you will begin to attract events, conditions, and circumstances into your life that you had previously considered to be unrealistic!
Will physical action be necessary? Yes. Will you need to remain open and receptive to receiving the guidance that will carry you to where it is that you desire to go? Yes. But when followed this inspired action will be pleasant and feel right to you.
The scientific community has proven time and again the incredible co-creative power available to any person that has the ability to think! The greatest spiritual teachers in the history of the world have provided direction clearly showing that your results in life are based only on your beliefs.
It is not necessary to be a spiritual or religious person to manifest Abundance and Happiness in your life as many man made religions would have you believe. You are and always have been creating the circumstances within your life every minute of everyday based on the seeds that you are planting regardless of who you are, or what you do. These seeds consist of the thoughts that you think, the beliefs that you establish, and the emotions that you create and experience as a result of them.
These 3 actions that you take every minute of every day, often times unconsciously, are quite literally the seeds that grow into and create the events, conditions, and circumstances that you experience in your life. It is crucial that you learn to become conscious of what those seeds are which will empower you to begin planting only those that are in alignment with producing your most cherished and sought after hopes, dreams and desires.
You possess the power and the ability to choose which seeds you are planting!
You only need to wake up and shake off the self limiting beliefs that have held you bound to a world of lack, limitation, stress, anxiety, illness and disease and claim what the Source has declared as your birthright.
A life overflowing with more than you could possibly imagine awaits you if only you will take the "correct" action, follow the guidance received and allow it to be so.
Once you become consciously aware of the self limiting blinders that the world has placed on you, and awaken to a life that the Source of all that is, intended for you to experience, and created for you to enjoy you will have made tremendous progress in beginning to create the life of Abundance and Happiness that is yours to experience.
Helpful Resources To Develop Your Awareness And Establish Miracle Making Belief
For those that need assistance in overcoming the self limiting and self sabotaging beliefs that they have established, there are some incredible tools available that will prove to be of tremendous help.
The first is The Delfin Knowledge System which was created and is narrated by world renown "Wealth Mentor" Leslie Fieger. The Delfin System consists of an in depth education concerning the creative operation of our universe and clearly and thoroughly illustrates both spiritual principles as well as scientific proof concerning their operation as well as their ability to provide anything that you can allow them to bring to you.

Another outstanding program that I have, and still do utilize, with incredible results, in conjunction with the The Delfin Knowledge System, is The Sedona Method , which provides an incredibly empowering emotional freedom technique called the Release Technique. This powerful process, allows you to release unwanted feelings and emotions on the spot, which are the very reason that you may not be attracting and experiencing the kind of life that you consciously desire.
This extremely simple, yet profoundly empowering guided process, called "Releasing" taught and led by Hale Dwoskin of the Sedona Training Institute is extremely easy to learn and implement, and provides you with a powerful tool which allows you to explore, discover, and release even the most deeply embedded subconscious blocks that may be effecting your ability to manifest the desired results in your life.
Both of these powerful tools can provide tremendous benefits regardless of what area of your life you may be experiencing less than desirable results and have a desire to improve. They will empower you to begin manifesting phenomenal life changing results in the areas of money, health, and relationships and are well worth checking out. If you have tried and failed to produce results in the past with conventional self help / personal development / self improvement programs I strongly encourage you to find out more about them.
Of course as with anything in life, you have been given the free will to choose your path, and decide which action you will or will not take. You have been given the free will to create a life beyond your wildest expectations as well as the free will to choose to remain as you are. You have been given the choice to believe or not believe that you have the ability to create a life of unfathomable Abundance for yourself and those you love.
Your beliefs, whatever they might be will determine your life experience.
It's an Undeniable Fact that YOU are at cause for the current events, conditions, and circumstances that make up your life experience.
You only need to decide if the previous choices that you have been making and the current actions that you are taking at this point are producing the life results that you desire. If not, it will be necessary to begin making different choices and learning to implement correct actions that will.
Discovering and implementing the powerful and life transforming strategies exposed in The Delfin Knowledge System and The Sedona Method's "Release Technique" are immediate actions that you can begin to take that will teach you precisely how to shed the self-limiting victim of circumstance mentality and empower you to become a creator of circumstance in each and every area of YOUR life as they have for me and hundreds of thousands worldwide.
You'll be blown away by the results!
Developing the awareness of the correct action to take and implementing it to bring about permanent and profound change in your life experience is a choice only you can make. From a place of deep compassion and caring that human words can't begin to convey, I hope that you will.
Whatever actions that you choose to take, both today and in the future, it is our sincere hope that they might lead you one step closer to living a life of Love, Joy, Fulfillment, Profound Inner Peace, and Limitless Prosperity.
What we choose to refer to as Abundance and Happiness.
