I Believe I Can Ride!

Our minds are powerful. Whatever we think, we create!

 


Reading and Loving It!

I love to read.


Growing up, I would just be in my room reading whatever book is available.

We have a mini library at home, super-mini but it was all powerful books. The books mom compiled  and collected for us to read are all books on living, loving and learning.

I remember authors like Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale among others.

I have grown to love libraries; at least checking books out! Lol!

When I was working in Makati, Phils; it was a bonus that our office was near National Bookstore! I got to spend my excess lunch minutes just browsing Self-Help books. There I found some more powerful authors like Leo Buscaglia; Wayne Dyer; Andrew Matthews, our very own Bo Sanchez,  among others.

Up until now, I still try to read as much as I could; and am passing the habit to my kids.

There is just so much power in the written word. Reading allows us to broaden our horizon; look beyond our own "boxes"; get to know ourselves more and learn about our power within.

These authors influenced and changed my life and they continue to do so!!!

They are the reason why I continue to write - to inspire and change lives too! Who knows one day, I'll also just decide to have all these printed and published!

There's this website that I know that could do just that!!! Conquest Graphics!!!

They offer customers a lot more than just top-quality, full-color printing at discount prices. They are a one-stop shop for all of your marketing communications needs.

They can do all kinds of printing! From booklet printing, newsletter printing, calendar printing, brochure printing, magazine printing, poster printing.. name it, they have it!!

Someday soon, I hope to meet Wayne Dyer; Andrew Matthews; Dalai Lama among others and be inspired!

... then maybe someday soon, people will also hope to meet me soon! - when I get myself published! Free dreaming!:))

Lesson #4: Be Grateful



To begin the experiment. Let's start with these:

First:  Let's consciously stop ourselves from saying “I don’t have money", “I don't have time!", "I don't have this... I don't have that!"

Hard as it is, but this time let's not focus on lack but the opposite.
For someone who wants, there is always a way; to some, excuses...but then again, sometimes we just have to let something go and choose, that's OK too.

Let's just change our words to something positive... so we can allow our minds to see possibilities instead!


If we understood the power of our thoughts,
we would guard them more closely.
If we understood the awesome power of our words,
we would prefer silence to almost anything negative.
In our thoughts and words we create
our own weaknesses and our own strengths.
Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts.
We can always replace negative with positive.

~ Bettie Eadie (from 'Embraced By the Light') ~


Second: Let's always be grateful for what we currently have. This way, we allow the ocean of abundance to open up for us.

In good times or in bad times, let's thank God for everything. There is a purpose, there is always a reason and it is always for the good.


And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

- Roman 8:28

Ready? 


No more “I don’t have money!”, “I don't have time!", "I don't have this... I don't have that!"

Set. 

Everyday, every minute, every second of our lives.. let's just thank God for all the blessings, for everything!
 
Go!



Be thankful for what you have and you will end up having more. But if you concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never, ever have enough. -Oprah Winfrey


NAMASTE.

What Minds Can Do

"I'm kinda lost really... what do you mean by creating abundance?" - R

I received this comment on An Experiment - a blog post I wrote last week. 

When I say I want to create abundance by simply being, knowing and believing. Honestly, I am operating in an easy and relaxed mode. 

Your own words are the bricks and mortar
of the dreams you want to realize.
Your words are the greatest power you have.
The words you choose and the use establish the life your experience.

~ Sonia Croquette ~

I believe that we create our own world. 


Cease trying to work everything out with your minds.
It will get you nowhere.
Live by intuition and inspiration
and let your whole life be Revelation.

~ Eileen Caddy ~

We may not have any control of what other people, circumstances and life throw at us, but we have control of our reactions to it.










Our minds are powerful and so we can actually choose to manifest anything, including abundance. Abundance of healthy relationships; radiant health; financial wealth; time and resources.


Whatever a person's mind dwells on
intensely and with firm resolve,
that is exactly what he becomes.
~ Shankaracharya ~
 

The same way our minds can also choose to create lack and scarcity. Our minds can create chaos, war, hate and indifference.

It's all in our mind.

We have the power to choose and create. 

There is nothing I can tell you
That you do not already know.
There is no question that you can ask me
That you Yourself cannot answer.
You have just forgotten.

~ David Littlewood (from 'Start To Live') ~


NAMASTE.

An Experiment

Inspired, maybe, by the many books I've read about Positive Thinking, Law of Attraction, Power of the Mind that I've decided to create My Wealthy Blog.

My goal is to create abundance by simply being, knowing and believing. 

Creating abundance doesn't mean just sitting in one corner and not do anything. 

Yes, in our deepest mind, we believe, we know and we become who we want to become, but that doesn't mean we become lazy and unproductive in the process. I believe we become more of the opposite. 

This is an experiment. To apply the power of intention, the law of attraction, the law of positive thinking and most of all to be grateful for all that I am and all that I have.

To know that I could never ask for anything more because I have everything I could ask for. I just have to open my eyes, be ready, and receive God's overflowing blessings and abundance.

In life we always pay the price to achieve our dreams and goals.

The effort that we are putting in transforming our minds, by meditation, forgiveness and love could actually prepare us in receiving our heart's desire.

If we believe we deserve what we are asking, then I believe it will come to pass. 

My wanting to attract abundance for myself, my family and the world around me won't happen tomorrow, that I can guarantee. 

But the insights learned, changes made, make-overs that will happen along the way will pave the way for these efforts to be all worth it- that I believe.

NAMASTE.

Starting again...

I do have a WEALTHY BLOG! 

My purpose in starting this blog was to actually help me and the people who intend to join me create abundance in the process!  

Well, it actually started with too many credit cards, and spending much! Story here: Imbalance. This was written on December 13, 2011.

After that was some story reminiscing on
It's not about the Money!!! written on December 20, 2011

followed by the declaration
I am RICH! written on December 22, 2011.



and then some-kind-of-supposed-to-be-motivation write-up Nope, not for all written on December 27, 2011.

Inspired, elated and excited. I've actually started my lessons!

1. Lesson #1 - Seeing Me  January 24, 2012
2.
Lesson #2 - Outside the Box! January 31, 2012
3.
Lesson #3 - It is possible February 7, 2012
4.
Lesson Summary: To be or not to be February 14, 2012


4 months after, I wrote The CASH Challenge! June 12, 2012 and then SAVING Money through Weekly Coupons! on June 13, 2012.

From abundance mindset to scarcity again?! cash challenge and weekly coupons! (though I am not saying that budgeting and saving using coupons are bad) BUT what was I thinking???!

I was supposed to be thinking positive about money, and being abundant and how did I put it? Oh, here it is: 

Are you ready to attract wealth and money by simply being, becoming and knowing?
Mind you, this takes a lot of doing! To be, means to embrace all that is, to pay the price, to give, to let go, to take control, to know thy self, to be ready to accept changes, to take risks, to experiment and to give control.

When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Are you ready to leap with me?

Reading it again now, It feels very promising, right? and I love my lessons!

But somewhere between February, 2012 to now - October, 2012... there seemed to be a missing link!


Now, 4 months later, I am determined to start again and move forward!
 
This time with GRATITUDE. 


Lesson #4 - Being Grateful.
coming up next!


:)

NAMASTE.

Mi Amor


This was written on October 8, 2000. Our Wedding Day.

YOU

 I dreamt of you.. long before.. years ago…

 Funny now.. I remember.. I would rush God for you
All the while, He would pacify me and tell me to WAIT a while.
“Wait a while”! “But, I have been waiting for long!”
And then He would lead me to other matters…
His way of preparing me to meet you.

I dreamt of you.. long before.. years ago…
Didn’t know then that I was forming you…
.. in my mind… in my heart… in my soul…

Funny now.. how dreams do come true
In time.
In God’s perfect time!

I’ve met you when I was ready..
Molded by God to meet you.
And  right there and then, I know…
It was you…


I dreamt of you.. long before.. and here you are!

 As if we’ve communicated in our dreams for long…
As if we were long time friends who have met again…
As if you’re my twin, lost in heaven…

Dreams can be realized – indeed!
I dreamt of you.. and here you are!
My heart thumped so hard, ready to fall of my chest
You were just a dream.. and here you are!

And God was grinning, “My design, my child, my design”.
I was bewildered, stunned, shocked, mesmerized.. in all truth!
But deep within, my heart was full of gratefulness..
For God said “ Wait.. I have something good for you…
And you will know in Time!”
And it has come to pass. His word was realized.
My dream came true.

You found me. I welcomed you.
We smiled. We laughed. We cried.
We talked in words, in action, in silence.
We held hands. We kissed and embraced.

We made our vow, “to have and to hold,
From this day forward, until death do us part”.

And who would have thought? – a simple dream…

A dream of you…, came true!

Love you :)
