Rich Beyond Words

Okay I know I like to blog about attracting money and other good things to yourself.

So I think it’s fine for me to write occasionally about blogging, internet marketing and list building as these are things which can definitely contribute to your wealth.

In this case I have to agree with the Build a Better Blog ladies who say that it’s darn aggravating when people don’t leave their names when commenting. I myself can’t determine either whether to take the comment for real or consider it spam. And how the heck do you reply back to the person?

So I’m guilty of being Richcroc on some places like Twitter, & Science of Getting Rich Forums but every one knows I’m Claudia Apfelthaler. Oh and then there’s the Science of Being Well Forums which I like to hang out at from time to time where I’m registered as Healthcroc.

A little portrait puts a face behind the name. Me I’ve got nothing to hide and you?

Hello and hello – it’s true I’ve been very neglectful of the Rich beyond Words Blog even though every day my life is a statement of being rich. I don’t mean for this to sound like a yadda yadda brag thing because thats not my style.

But I tell you one thing I can testify to is that gratitude gets you heaps. Every day my life is unfolding more beautifully as I reach out for my dreams. And I don’t mean it in a material greedy way even though I think poverty sucks. I’m talking about feeling totally happy and grateful because the sun is out – the winter is over.

It’s so rejuvenating and often I think back to my poor days and again I don’t mean it in a material way but on reflection that time when my spirit seemed so impoverished instead of feeling grateful for what i had i was bitching and whining – even on beautiful sunny days.

But I’ll tell you one thing I went through an incredible process in the winter it was kind of like my cocoon phase and now the butterfly is emerging.

Serious.

I didn’t do it on my own I was guided by an incredible person – Dr Gayek of The Science of Being Well Networks

So I suggest you go check it out to – this is the ultimate Mind, Body & Soul programme on the internet.

I promise as of today I’ll be a good girl and blogging a lot more regurlarly.

I first discovered Mark Joyner through simpleology.

I was skeptical about the Mind Control Marketing Book because the name sounds so evil.

But knowing that Mark is a no nonsense guy and that I’ve never felt that I’ve been ripped off by him I thought what the hell, I don’t think it will be evil.

Mark has sensed that a lot of people might feel that way and writes about that in the first chapter.  It is not evil to persuade your customer to choose you over thousands of others. I mean that is what business is right?

I’m a believer in the law of attraction which states you must know what you want and then take the action to get you there. The action part is where many people meet “shipwreck” as the grand daddy Wallace Wattles says in his book The Science of Getting Rich which is the book that everybody, including the wisest of the wise seems to have read. Mind Control Marketing will show you how to effectively put together an irrestible offer. This is not about scamsville. This is so in tune with giving people quality service or product.

I’m glad I invested in the $27 for the book. As usual Mark over delivers.

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.”

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.

So you think the internet began like via the military?

Hmmm let’s see – what about this theory?

I just want to say from the start that this was sent to me and their is no author attached so I hope I’m not breaking any copyright laws!

Anyway the story goes like this:

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader called Abraham of Com
did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.

And Dot of Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg.
Indeed, she had been called
‘Amazon Dot Com’.

And she said unto Abraham, her husband,
‘Why dost thou travel far from
town to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy
tent?’

And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags
short of a camel load, but simply said,
‘How, dear?’
And Dot replied,
‘I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages
saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath the
best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by
Uriah’s Pony Stable (UPS).’

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with
the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham
sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from his
tent. But this success did arouse envy A man named Maccabia did secrete
himself inside Abraham’s drum and was accused
of insider trading. And the young man did take to Dot Com’s trading as doth
the greedy horsefly take to camel dung.
They were called
Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short.

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the
deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going
to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every
drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would
work only with Brother Gates’ drumheads and drumsticks.

And Dot did say,
‘Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others.’
And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it
came to be known ‘eBay’ he said,
‘We need a name that reflects what we are.’
And Dot replied,
‘Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators.’
‘YAHOO!’
said Abraham.

And that is how it all began.
Al Gore had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Hi and good Morning!

If you ever feel like you’re not the smartest person around then welcome to the club. Some times I feel quite dumb especially when my kids ask me to help them with their math homework.

I don’t know how often you ever wished your IQ was higher.

But for me well I did some times wonder if we were all born equal in the brains department – take my brother and father for example. They’re clever dudes – you know Dipl. Ing stuff. But as for me I’m just me with no titles.

Now I’m not saying you have to have any of those titles to be rich because as we all know there are people out there who are not degreed to the hilt making loads of boodle.

I’m talking about when you know within your self that you are more intelligent than what you seem to be revealing.

Maybe you don’t know what exercises to do or what books to read to get that greater level of intelligence.

Or maybe you grew up like I did where men are generally thought of to be more clever and therefor encouraged more to blossom into full intelligence.

I’m sure you know what I’m trying to convey here.

Maybe you just missed out on some information oe even WORSE, you actually believe that you just don’t have what it takes to improove your intellegence.

Luckily for me I’ve opened my mind a lot.

I know now that I can always make more of me and that includes expanding my intelligence levels.

Listen I spend a fortune trying out all these things.

One - because I’m curious and genuinely want to know what works.
Two – because I have a burning desire to make the most of me and my life.

You could say I’m a product junkie but you can rest assured I wouldn’t recommend anything to anyone if I thought it sucked. That would just be a sell out to my own sense of integrity.

Plenty times I’ve bought stuff and felt like I was ripped off and I don’t ask for my money back even though all these people offer a money back guarantee.

But I can go on and on. Why don’t you just go check it out for yourself?

Wow! I read in the Mind power news Journal that I live in one of the happiest countries in the world!

The research was done by Adrian White, an analytic social phychologist at the University’s School of Psychology. He anaysed data published by UNESCO, the CIA, the New Economics Foundation, the WHO, the Veenhoven Database, the Latinbarometer, the Afrobarometer, and the UNHDR, to create a global projection of subjective well-being: the first world map of happiness.

Anyway Austria is 3rd on the list with Denmark being 1st and Switerland is 2nd. Actually I was very surprised when I read this because I often encounter complaining individuals. In fact I’ve met more complainers here than in other places of the world.

If you look at my contact page you’ll see that I’m often in South Africa as well. Even though they have power failures, crime and no sopcial security I find the folks there to be a rather happy bunch. Must be the African sun.

But the fact remains that the Happiness Map was constructed according to these facts – Countries that have easy access to health facilities, individual wealth and access to education contain happy people. I must admit that Austria does have all that – it’s quite a social system. Apparently capitilism does not make people happy.

You can get all the details here.

Anyway to show you how i happy I am here’s a picture of me working in my pjamas!

Any one that can work from home in their pjamas has a reason to be happy!

It wasn’t always this way – I used to have the blues – not because I was picking cotton – just because…. I just decided to get happy cos i was so sick and tired of myself. I didn’t do it with feel good drugs – Don’t laugh I did it by listening to CD’s at night while I slept.

It was about that time whilst listening to the CD’s I thought to myself , “Hmmn now all I need is to learn how to make money online so I can stay at home.” So I promptly looked around and did Tellman Knudson’s Ultra Marketing Course which is all explained in baby steps and got me up and going.

Seriously I’m always learning and finding things to take my level of happiness further.

Another thing I’ll say is that I find the statement about how money can’t buy you happiness a bit ridiculous. Okay, okay I know some folks will take offence but for one thing money does open your possibilities but you know what’s the most insane thing? You have to find how to be happy first – you have to align your thoughts with those emotions you’d be having as if you already had everything you think will make you happy. Phew not so easy, and even me - I have relapses but am getting better and have my CD’s to listen to when I fall back into the pits.
