CHAPTER 1
Abundance
Think of abundance and abundance shall come. In other words, think the thought, walk the walk and talk the talk. Visualize what you want and project that outwardly.
If you want an abundance of love, money, success, or health, create it, write it down, focus on it, want it, place it in a mental bubble and release it out into the universe to have it fulfilled for you.
When you combine your powers with the universal powers, with creative focus you make miracles come true. Say to yourself that you can get what you want.
The universal knowledge cannot provide you with a 'no' when you are focused on 'yes'. The universe is ever expanding and abundant -so don't confuse the delivery system by sending confused signals.
Stay focused and bring abundance to yourself by focusing on the goal and being positive.
You can only bring negative things to yourself by thinking negatively; don't waste the time or energy!
Stay focused, be positive, create it and it shall come to you abundantly.
If we only get what we think we deserve, then we should convince ourselves that we deserve more abundance.
Acceptance of yourself
Accept what you are and who you are and know that you are perfect. Even your, problems are perfect for you. (No change can take place without first accepting what you want to change and what cannot be changed.)
If you can't accept yourself warts and all, you will never be able to grow and find self.
Study each layer within your personality, as well as your sub-personalities.
You will then need to accept each part of you, for what it is, and why it is in you - like it is.
Then you can identify what you would like to retain and what you would like to change, as this is the foundation for change.
You can only be whole once you accept all the parts of the whole. If not you leave a 'hole' in yourself.
Most of man's problems are derived from him not accepting a part of himself.
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh says this on acceptance in 'The sound of one hand clapping', "The moment you accept yourself as you are, all burdens, all mountainous burdens simply disappear. Then life is a sheer joy, a festival of lights".
Action
Take action - Now is the time! If you leave personal development and search for self for later, you will stunt your own growth by your inability to take action.
Your growth curve is directly proportional to the time it takes you to get back to doing what you really should have done before, but chose to procrastinate about.
Yesterday is lost, the future is not yet ours, we only have the present and by acting on the present and by dealing with a troublesome past we can create a better future.
Accept the past, and then leave it where it belongs.
Act in the present, the present is just that, a present that should be opened, enjoyed and explored in every way.
Now! Is this moment, and all too soon ... it becomes the past.
Just as you can't live in the future you should not squander your present by living in the past.
Take heart, take...
