Rich Beyond Words

I don’t know about you but I certainly have had intense moments of fear in my life.

Sometimes the fear has been more sort of a self induced anxiety than actual fear of danger.  Fear in it’s self is not a bad thing because it helps us to survive. If we didn’t have fear we would expose ourselves to really dangerous situations that can lead to death or severe bodily harm.

Anyway watch Dr. Duckett give his take on fear. I enjoy his approach. So many of the so called feel good gurus  have a esoteric approach which makes things hard to understand and get a grip on.

Here’s another lovely story by an unknown author.

Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing
down: 73 in a 55 zone. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so often?

When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but only partially. Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard. Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror. The cop was stepping out of his car, the big pad in hand.

Bob? Bob from Church? Jack sunk farther into his trench coat. This was worse than the coming ticket. A cop catching a guy from his own church. A guy who happened to be a little eager to get home after a long day at the office. A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow.

Jumping out of the car, he approached a man he saw every Sunday, a man he’d never seen in uniform. “Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this.”

“Hello, Jack.” No smile.

“Guess you caught me red-handed in a rush to see my wife and kids.”

“Yeah, I guess.” Bob seemed uncertain. Good.

“I’ve seen some long days at the office lately. I’m afraid I bent the rules a bit -just this once.” Jack toed at a pebble on the pavement. “Diane said something about roast beef and potatoes tonight. Know what I mean?”

“I know what you mean. I also know that you have a reputation in our precinct.”

Ouch. This was not going in the right direction. Time to change tactics.

“What’d you clock me at?”

“Seventy. Would you sit back in your car please?”

“Now wait a minute here, Bob. I checked as soon as I saw you. I was barely nudging 65.” The lie seemed to come easier with every ticket.

“Please, Jack, in the car.”

Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door.
Slamming it shut, he stared at the dashboard. He was in no rush to open the window. The minutes ticked by. Bob scribbled away on the pad. Why hadn’t he asked for a driver’s license?

Whatever the reason, it would be a month of Sundays before Jack ever sat near this cop again. A tap on the door jerked his head to the left. There was Bob, a folded paper in hand.
Jack rolled down the window a mere two inches, just enough room for Bob to pass him the slip.

“Thanks.” Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.

Bob returned to his police car without a word. Jack watched his retreat in the mirror. Jack unfolded the sheet of paper.
How much was this one going to cost? Wait a minute. What was this? Some kind of joke? Certainly not a ticket. Jack began to read:

“Dear Jack,

Once upon a time I had a daughter. She was six when killed by a car. You guessed it — a speeding driver. A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his daughters. All three of them. I only had one, and I’m going to have to wait until Heaven before I can ever hug her again. A thousand times I’ve tried to forgive that man. A thousand times I thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again. Even now. Pray for me. And be careful, Jack, my son is all I have left.

- Bob”

Jack turned around in time to see Bob’s car pull away and head down the road. Jack watched until it disappeared. A full 15 minutes later, he too, pulled away and drove slowly home, praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.

Life is precious. Handle with care.

A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the present “Seven Wonders of the World.” Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter’s Basilica
7. China’s Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noticed that one quiet student hadn’t turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.”

The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.”

The girl hesitated, then read, “I think the ‘Seven Wonders of the World’ are:

1. to see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love.”

How To Change Your Beliefs

These beliefs ultimately will make or break you.

People are so sucked into the area of false beliefs.

Take organised religion for example. Organised religion keeps people in a stupor second to none.

Or the Tee Vee. What good comes out of all that crap they show on TV?

It keeps the masses right there where the so called big organisations want you. They fill you up with programmes of medoicre lives. People widshing they were richer, thinner, happier. Comedy that’s not even funny. Then come the advertisers to tell you what you need to eat, drink, do, watch,wear and be to be at all.

My friend it’s time to question what you believe about anything.

Do you have any beliefs?

Take this crazy video for example: It’s about Female Circumsicion.

How on earth do people land up believing that hog wash?  I’d say this belief causes a lot of unnecceassary hurt and pain. And it’s totally unfounded. They don’t even have a religion they can blame it on like unfortunate muslim women. Although I read that it doesn’t say it any where in the Koran that a woman should be circumsized. And why would people want to that to a woman any way? I’m not going to get into a whole tirade of doing that to women because this post is about whether beliefs serve us or not.

If you really want to find out if your beliefs are serving you, you have to and I MEAN have to check out Byron Katie’s The Work.

In The Work you are confronted with 4 questions which will totally help you find out what you’re believing and whether this is serving you or not.

The questions are:

1. Is it true?
2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true?
3. How do you react, what happens, when you think that thought?
4. Who would you be without the thought?

Go check out The Work. There are free work sheets to sort out what you’re believing.

Recommendation of the Day:
Think Right Now CD’s.

Want to install a new set of beliefs about yourself?

I did. And I used Think Right Now CD’s to get there.

Quite a simple process really. These CD’s are not subliminal - you hear every word being spoken like: I am organised now.

It’s repeated 3 times with various statements, over a very soothing and relaxing one beat per second soundtrack to get the message home. The best thing is you don’t need any special time to listen to them. You can listen while you sleep or wash the dishes.

AnywayI used them and am very pleased with the results.

At least check out the Think Right Now website and sign up for a really helpful news letter!

Seems like ultimately every body wants the same thing - to be happy.

But very few are.

Every body has some lame excuse as to when they’ll be happy.

I have to ask what’s stopping folks from being happy right now in this minute just because…

I used to live the blues man, each and every day and not only thatI would listen to them to reaffirm to myself how blue I am. God was that awful.

Some how I woke up.

I realised happiness is a state of mind.

No use in crying over yesterday or worrying about tomorrow because tomorrow never comes.

Sure there are things in life which can sadden and upset you but that’s no excuse for living in permanet misery.

Ultimately you just become a victim of circumstances.

Here’s my list of how to get happy:

1. Just Do
   Don’t worry about any one or any thing - this obviously does not mean be irresponsible and over draw your credit card. It means there’s no more excuse for not doing what you want to do. I find starting out small is a good way to go.
2. Just Be
   Stop berating yourself and feel the power of your beingness. Sit still for 20 minutes and contemplate your existence.
3. Just Let Go
   No use hanging onto anxiety, tension or any thing like that because it just frazzles you and doesn’t change anything about the current situation.
4. Just Go for a Walk
   When things get really icky for me I find going for a walk and listening to the birds brings peace to me. The exercise gets the blood flowing and fresh air into the lungs. Air always makes me feel connected. Think about - every single one of us is breathing the same air.
5. Just Distract from The Bad Feeling
   Some people may think this is a cop out but i find if I’m feeling like I’m about to get sucked into a bad feeling place I do some thing that makes me feel good. It’s no use allowing that bad feeling to hold onto you because nothing changes any way.
6. Just Define what You Want
   Most people are so miserable because they don’t know what they want. They think they know what they want which is different to knowing what you want. If you don’t know what you want they don’t be surprised if you get anything dished out to you.Be realistic most people say they want to win the lottery or something ridiculous but then why do they loose all their money within 10 years?
7. Just Find Something to be Happy About.
   Find anything that makes you feel happy - doesn’t matter how small. Could be your cat doing something silly. Focus in on that and enjoy the moment.
8. Just Stop Being Programmed
   Stop watching crap on TV. That stuff has been designed to keep you miserable. The government and corporations can only control unhappy people by promising them things they think will make them happy. Watch uplifting movies and read uplifting books.
9. Just Give without Expectation
   If you do something because you expect something in return you’re setting yourself up for unhappiness. If for example you want to give a gift to soembody don’t expect them to say thanks. Because if you do they might not say thanks and you’ll have lost the joy in giving. So only give something when you really want to, be it money, time or what ever.
   This is not to be confused with having no vision of what you want. I’m just saying don’t expect the actions of other people to get you what you want.

Recommendation of the Day:
The Science of Being Well

I’m currently involved with helping the famous Dr. Alexandra Gayek develop her Science of Being Well for Practical Genuises Course.
I want to tell you that this course is very intensive. Because of this course I’ve had to take a serious look at who I am, what I am and if I’ve been really true to myself.
I can only say that if you are want to get connected to your higher self, bigger self, greater self, divine intelligence, cosmic connection or what ever you choose to call it then this course is for you.
This course is not for people who think they know it all.  In this course the good Dr. talks about finding peace within. She explains how sickness is manifested by not being connected to your higher self.
I don’t know when the course will officially be released to the public but I do know that in the meanwhile you can pick up a free copy of the Science of Being Well and partake in the forums and sign up for the free ezine.
