“You will very likely run up against a series of circumstances that will, for a time, almost have you convinced you are actually going backwards; but, persistence is the key. Continue to hold the picture of personal prosperity and understand that what is happening to you, is what must happen, to prepare you to receive the good you desire.” Bob Proctor in ‘You Were Born Rich’

January 22nd, 2010Bhutanese Wisdom-Important Must Read!
January 18th, 2010“In a mountain village named Laya, I was standing in a school house and staring at a document entitled ‘Manual for Teachers of Mathematics’. What caught my eye is something that is offered as a ‘first rule’: ‘Always remember that you are a human being as well as a teacher, that your students are also human beings, and that you are here because you have something important to give them that they need.’ ”
Lonely Planet’s Bhutan
Wow, I had to read that several times.
I felt the message was of great importance.
I know it is one of immense wisdom, and I felt that it addresses a great truth in one’s dealings in the world.
Whether it’s family, friends, business associates, clients, or someone off the street; they have come into your life because you have something important to give them that they need…
And they have something important to give to you also.
It can be an incredibly valuable experience meeting another human being and just BEING with them and exchanging your gifts; whether they be friendship, a kind word, a helping hand, an exchange of money for services rendered…
As a person who aspires to inspire and help others succeed in life, I found the quote quite humbling as it really made me think about all the ways I communicate with the world.
I know I can be in a hurry at times and not take the time to be friendly with the cashier at the grocery store, or in a rush in traffic, or not really give my ALL and be personal in a blog post or email-it does seem somewhat impersonal at times…
If I can stop and remind myself at the other end of the computer screen, counter, or another vehicle in traffic, is a living breathing person with their own wants, desires and needs, then perhaps I have just found a place of mutual compassion and understanding.
A depth and place of meeting that will enable true comunication-even if no words are exchanged.
I intend to incorporate this wisdom into my life, and I hope that you do too!

January 17th, 2010A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.”
Tony Robbins
It’s All God Stuff!
January 10th, 2010“If you embrace the present and become one with it, you will experience a fire, a glow, a sparkle of ecstasy throbbing in every living sentient being. As you begin to experience this exultation of spirit in everything that is alive, as you become intimate with it, joy will be born within you, and you will drop the terrible burdens and encumbrances of defensiveness, resentment, and hurtfulness. Only then will you become lighthearted, carefree, joyous, and free.” Depak Chopra in ‘The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success’
I once heard a story about a boy who being quite HIGH On God described watching his mother breast feed his little sibling, he said: “it was like watching God pour God into God”.
This is what Quantum Theory is also telling us, it’s all energy! Our thoughts, our bodies, money, the chair you’re sitting on-are all energy/source/The Law of Attraction/God/vibration/atoms in motion-whatever analogy you feel most comfortable with.
It’s all made of the same stuff!
So if there’s anything in your experience you’re not happy with, the question arises ‘How am I to be present with this, and how am I responsible for this?’
I was once told by a shaman when I remarked that something wasn’t my problem(even though it bothered me) that it was someone else’s and it was ‘out there’; he replied: “There is no ‘out there’, it’s all inside”.
I other words, everything in my experience I am somehow responsible for by the shear fact that I am experiencing it, I’m vibrating with it and at the same level as it. I am Attracting it!
Radical concept! I can tell you I didn’t like it one bit! That I’m somehow responsible for what happens in my life? Preposterous! 
Then years later I heard about ‘The Law of Attraction’ and it all started to make sense, although I can tell you, it still sometimes irks me when the world comes up and bites me on the butt.
I have also found out that when I’m present with these things, they aren’t so terrible, they loose their power and don’t seem so frightening.
So part of my process of surviving and thriving is to always come beck into my body and be present, and focus on who I am, where I’m going and experience as much joy as I can.
In this way I hope to transform not only my experience of life as joyous, but also spread joy to the world!

Grow Rich While You Sleep?
December 28th, 2009“If you are heavily in debt, this power within you can guide you to freedom from financial obligations. If you are not happy in the home you are occupying, this influence can let you out of it and into the home of your dreams.” Ben Sweetland Author of ‘Grow Rich While You Sleep’
In this book Ben talks about how we can program our minds when we sleep to attract whatever we want.
It’s essentially the thought that what is in our minds creates our life’s experiences.
Every successful person you will meet will agree with this.
If you have a bad attitude, you can change in an instant if you are ready for that change.
If you are broke, you can program your creative mind(subconscious) to direct and influence your conscious mind.
In this book Ben makes a comparison of a large factory as your mind and a president and general manager as your conscious and subconscious minds.
The ‘President’(conscious) makes plans and gives them to the General Manager(subconscious) of the Factory(mind) to implement.
This is how it works in reality, but most people don’t do this process CONSCIOUSLY, with setting goals and programming them into the Subconscious.
The Majority of people don’t have goals, they let life happen to them, and get results that are mediocre at best.
They get results that are in line with their most dominant thoughts. Their most Dominant Thoughts program their subconscious minds and their subconscious minds ‘influence’ their conscious minds.
I say ‘influence’ your thoughts not dictate your thoughts. You can think whatever you want regardless of current circumstances.
It’s a kind of vicious cycle that will only end when you CONSCIOUSLY decide to direct your thoughts, which then directs your SUBCONSCIOUS, and will put you in a cycle of improvement in your life-If that’s your intention.
It’s like a gym locker, you can only pull out what you put in. If you put in smelly sneakers(bad thoughts) with your clothing; you’ll pull out smelly sneakers and clothing(bad thoughts and results), but if you put in smelly sneakers(they always get smelly when you workout in them!!!) that have been sprayed with deodorant(good thoughts consciously applied) then things start to smell a lot rosier!
Good thoughts have much more powerful vibrations than bad.
I am always looking to improve the vibration I am sending out to the universe, as I want the universal boomerang to send back good things to me!
I hope you do too!
To Your Ultimate Success! Jonathan
