"Man
is made or unmade by himself...In the armoury of thought he forges the
weapons by which he destroys
himself; he also fashions the
tools with
which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and
peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends
to the divine perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of
thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two
extreams are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and
master."
- James
Allen "As A Man Thinketh"
What
that quote is saying, as I see it, is where you are now is where you
have put yourself. Every human being is responsible for his or her own
personal space and happiness in life. You must be prepared to take
responsibility for yourself and, most definitely, your actions.
Never,
under any circumstances, allow other people, governments or
institutions to do your thinking for you. Be proud that you do it for
yourself. Be accountable. Stand proud and tall. Always check out the
facts. Never take anything on face value - it is the essence of
personal responsibility. "I'll check that out and get back to you" will
become your anthem. The world is full of trickery and fraud - we will
examine large areas of this theme pertaining to all areas of our lives,
governments, institutions and history itself.
Learn to live
within your means. However hard it may be it is the only life that can
set you financially free and lead to you becoming a truly free person.
Debt is bondage. I'm sorry to appear boring and oh so old fashioned,
but the truth is - if you want something - teach yourself to save up
first, purchase second. Well for just about everything - I admit a
house is tricky - more on this later.
Live your life. Truly live
your life as if each day was your last. Be brave. Have a go. Try.
Become a hero to yourself. Be the best you can possibly be. Strive.
Step out. Stand out for all the right reasons. It may appear at times
as if life is trying ever so hard to beat you down. Learn to treat it
as just a test - a test that of course you can and will pass with
honours.
You are unique in all the universe of universes. In all
existence there is none other, nor has there ever been, nor will there
ever be, another being the same as you. You are eternal. You are a
spirit entity in human form. You are the very stuff of God. You have
come to this place to learn. You exist for a reason even if you are not
currently fully appreciative of it. Treat yourself with the respect you
deserve. Love yourself - for only by genuinely loving yourself can you
also love others. Love is just another word for the all encompassing
primal energy from which all things are made. By being in the vibration
of love we bring ourselves into vibrational harmony with all creation.
Our lives change for the better.
No matter what anyone may tell you or how you may feel - you have a right to be here - this is your world too.
Be persistent. Persistence is
really the key to success. It always has been and always will be. If
you really want to achieve something - you will - as long as you
persist. Learn to break large tasks down into small easily achievable
tasks and the end result will be yours for the taking. You can become,
achieve or be, absolutely anything you desire, as long as you are
prepared to persist. Success is always within your grasp.
Dreams
and goals. They are a must. Without them nothing happens. I'll just
repeat that. Dreams and goals - they are a must - without them nothing
happens. With them everything happens. Now re-read the previous
paragraph.
Live your life in a constant spirit of gratitude.
Give thanks for both the good and the bad. Even clouds have silver
linings. Every disappointment carries with it the seed of an even
greater opportunity. Grab with gratitude the opportunities that are
always coming your way. Life is chock full of opportunities if you will
just learn to watch for them in a spirit of expectation. Give
thanks.
Religion. Oh dear! OK, here we go. "Never
discuss religion or your friends may just become your enemies". I'm
afraid I will definitely be testing friendships on this website and in
my newsletters. No apologies. You will - yes, I said you - have to be
broadminded as I introduce many ground-breaking topics in this area.
Especially pay attention to paragraph two above. Enough said for now.
Stay tuned. Stay open.
That, in a nutshell, is
what this
website is about. We are off on a journey of discovery together - long may it last!
I will be publishing a newsletter on a regular basis. If you would like
to receive it please fill in and submit the box below and you will be
