How
to Create Exactly What You Want
By
Robert Anthony, Ph.D
Creator of The
Secret of Deliberate Creation
Take
a trip to any jail or prison and you will meet hundreds
of people who will tell you they are the "victims"
of their circumstances.
Travel
through any big city ghetto and you'll hear the same thing.
Visit
any affluent, high-class neighborhood, talk to the people
there and you'll discover the same thing.
Visit
a middle-class neighborhood in New York, Toronto, London
or Sydney and you will meet people who believe they are
the result of their circumstances, good or bad.
They
will talk about the opportunities they were given, or the
chances they were denied. They may be grateful for the education
they were exposed to, or complain they were denied the education
they deserve.
One
person will tell you about her wonderful childhood and upbringing
was, while another will complain that she came from a "dysfunctional"
family.
There
is no denying that income, status, education, upbringing,
neighborhood, family and many other situations will influence,
effect and even determine the outcome of our lives.
But
who creates the circumstances?
Your
parents? Your environment? God? Destiny? Lost in all this
analysis and the assumption of almost every unconscious
person I have ever met is this one very important reality.
The
effect of our thoughts ABOUT our circumstances.
We
cannot change what happened to us, but we can change our
PERCEPTION about what happened to us. This is the key to
changing our present circumstances and our future.
Our
minds are like a garden. We can intelligently cultivate
our garden, or we can allow it to run wild. If you diligently
attend to your garden, it will produce the things you cultivate.
If
you don't plant specific seeds, then the animals, wind and
other elements will cause RANDOM things to grow which will
likely to choke out the things you want to cultivate from
your garden.
One
thing is certain, *SOMETHING* WILL GROW IN YOUR GARDEN!
Just
as a gardener must tend his or her garden, keeping out the
weeds, you must tend the garden of your mind, weeding out
the thoughts of lack, limitation and negativity.
If
you practice gardening of this kind, you will soon discover
that you are the gardener of your soul. You will come to
the profound revelation that you are not the victim of your
circumstances--but the creator of them.
The
reason is simple: Whatever you give your attention to and
focus on shapes your character, creates your circumstances,
and determines your ultimate destiny.

What
you experience in your life is directly connected to your
inner state of mind. The most important thing you can learn
about success, prosperity and happiness is that cause (thought)
and effect (results or experiences) are one.
But
face this important fact - You don't simply end up in jail
or the hospital, bankrupt, or alone no more than you simply
wake up rich, successful, happy, and healthy. All these
CIRCUMSTANCES are the RESULT of thousands of little decisions,
which are reached as a result of the thoughts you give your
attention to.
Now,
if you are like most people, this is the part where you
start to mentally make excuses and argue with me.
Perhaps
you believe that what I just said is true for other people,
but you are quite certain that you have been the victim
of extenuating circumstances beyond your control.
I
know. I know. YOUR situation is different.
So
just how does that work?
Let's talk about how all this applies
to you.
First,
you must accept that on one level or another, you have manifested
everything that is happening in your life. Even the horrific,
nasty stuff.
I
agree that you don't do it consciously. But you do it.
Now here's the thing . . .
You
are surrounded by a data-sphere of information that promotes
negativity, fear, anxiety, limitation, and lack. It pummels
your senses from all directions. It comes from your TV,
radio, the Internet, your friends, family, church and the
people you work with.
Most
people are so saturated by negative programming that they
can't even conceive a life of anything but struggle and
complaint.
What
you read, what you listen to, and the people you talk with
have a huge effect on the person you are and the thoughts
you have. It not only comes from the media and other individuals
but from the government.
The
doom, gloom and negativity that is perpetuated by the government
is designed to appeal to the programmed fear of the masses
in order to get re-elected. We elect and re-elect these
people to *save and protect us* from the pending doom and
gloom.
If
that wasn't enough, consider that the microcosm of our mass
culture can be found in entertainment and even sports personalities.
Most of these people are insecure, self-centered and only
interested in their own 15 minutes of fame.
However,
they are not the problem. We are, because we are willing
to spend countless hours and pay billions of dollars to
watch them, mimic their lifestyles and even their manner
of dress.
You
must recognize that this data-sphere is continually programming
you 24/7, and that almost 95% of it is fear, lack and limitation
programming.
So
what do you do?
If you want to reach the highest levels of success, you
have to zealously guard the input you allow to come into
your life. You must control your own programming, and reject
the poisonous stuff most people are trying to feed you.
In
order to focus on success, it is imperative that you spend
more time on your own personal growth. Each morning and
each evening before you go to bed, spend time on focusing
on something positive.
Remember:
You are the foundation from which all your dreams are made
reality. This is the only way you can guarantee your success,
wealth and happiness...

Six
Power Steps to Your Success
By
Stuart Goldsmith
Creator of Elite
Inner Circle
The
following power steps structure your thinking to make sure
the actions you take will drive you towards success.
Power
Step #1: Be In Charge Of Your Life
Caring
what other people think of you puts them in charge of your
life, instead of you.
'What
will other people think of me?' slavery is extremely common.
Most of us are brought up (rightfully so) to consider others.
But, unless we are discerning, we soon find ourselves caught
up in a job we can't stand, or living in a relationship
which makes us unhappy, or getting caught up in the spiral
of poverty.
'Trying
to please other people all the time' syndrome begins in
childhood. It stems from a desire to be liked and admired.
Let's look at a fairly typical scenario: three boys, Fred,
Joe, and Matthew, all five years old, are best pals. They
fight to sit together at school and spend their breaks in
a group. Fred comes to school one day with a stack of pokemon
cards to show his friends. Joe is envious of Fred's collection
and a fight breaks out when Fred refuses to give a prized
card to Joe.
There
are several resulting scenarios, all with serious implications
for Fred's future. A teacher could break up the fight and
make Fred feel guilty for not parting with the prized card.
Joe could refuse to talk to Fred even ending the friendship,
unless Fred relented. Matthew would side with either Joe
or Fred, or be a peacemaker and force the other two to discuss
the problem and sort it out amicably.
The
biggest danger to Fred, is if the solution entails his giving
the card away, when he really doesn't want to. In other
words, if the only reason he gives in, is because he desperately
wants to be liked and it really matters what his friends
think of him. If they were real friends, of course, Joe
would understand Fred's view and Matthew would not criticise.
Fred might even willingly offer Joe another not so valuable
card out of his collection.
Over
the years thousands of small incidents build up, until by
the time we are adults, most of us make a habit of putting
what other people think of us before our own personal needs
and desires.
The
Right Reasons
Before
you cut the grass, decorate the house, start a business,
go on holiday, always ask yourself, 'am I doing this for
the right reasons?' Yes, the gardening has to be done, but
not if you're in the middle of crucial market research and
if you don't cut the grass today you're worried that the
neighbour's will think you're lazy. Yes, a house has to
be decorated, but not if it's at the expense of your health
through shooting your stress level through the roof trying
to fit it in between a busy advertising campaign, and it's
only because your partner insists you do it now.
'Other
people' slavery kills your creativity, your energy and drive
towards your own goals and fulfilling your dreams. It stops
you from going to places you want to visit and enjoying
the kind of entertainment that you enjoy. So, make certain
you're not always driven to do things, merely because you're
worried about what other people think of you. Be confident
in who you are!
Power
Step #2: Strive to be Different
Nearly
everyone you know will strive to be normal - because it's
socially acceptable. But the normal person goes nowhere
special and achieves the mundane.
Using
a fictitious character called Norman, here's an example
of his normal expectations of life and mediocre results:
'I
live in a pleasant neighbourhood in an average house (translated
as meaning: all the houses and gardens along the street
look exactly alike, apart from the odd differences in plants).
I own an average car (just another standard box on wheels,
which apart from minor differences looks like nearly every
other car on the road).'
Norman's
other goals and ambitions: 'I save up all year round to
take my wife and children on holiday, somewhere nice where
it's safe. We usually book a package holiday, so everything
is taken care of and we know exactly what to expect. Even
the entertainment is all planned for us.
My
job is boring, but it pays the bills and the pension is
good. It'll never make me rich, but then I don't want to
be rich (but he wouldn't give away a lottery win!). Anyone
who's rich has had to lie and cheat their way to the top.
I like to sleep at night with a clear conscience. I may
not have much but at least it's honest toil.
I
don't have much to do with the neighbours; I don't really
like them. But, to keep the peace I mow my lawn once a week
and keep the garden weeded and tidy, and do the odd job
for them. I like to think they view me as a nice guy.
Every
other weekend we visit our best friends, Alice and Paul,
and they visit us alternate weekends. Like us, they're your
average typical family. Most nights after work I shower,
change and after dinner, put my feet up and watch television
until bedtime. Every Sunday, we have a roast dinner and
every Friday we treat ourselves to a fry up. Am I happy,
well, it's life isn't it?'
That's
how Norman thinks and lives his life and that's how many
people live their life. The Normans spend their days, grumbling
about how they hate their job, get fed up with their bosses
and partners, but that's all they do. The same gripes day
in and day out - but taking no action to change their situation,
simply because they are slaves to being normal (and 'what
will other people think of me, if I do something unusual?').
Living
in the Fast Lane of the Elite
Let's
compare Norman's goals and ambitions with another invented
character, David. He's one of the smaller group of people
who move forward and live the life of the elite and privileged.
'My
philosophy on life is simple. Life is too short to be little.
I'm not concerned with what other people think of me. If
all my neighbours want to cut down their hedges and build
short brick walls and block pave their drives, that's their
choice, but I'm not going to have it done just to please
them. I like the trees so they're staying and I prefer to
have a shingle drive. I've done everything possible to make
our house individual.
Often,
I ring Sarah from the office and ask her to forget about
cooking dinner for that night and how about going out for
a meal? We've tried all the restaurants within a twenty
km radius.
We
both love holidays, and I take the family as often as possible.
We spend most weekends, exploring new places and trying
out different activities.
I
love my job, it's very challenging being a manager. I get
to meet and work with people of many different personality
traits, from varied backgrounds. Every now and then a junior
is obviously aiming to take my job. I don't find it threatening,
I like the challenge. I enjoy working with intelligent people
who stretch my potential.
I
work hard and I am paid well. Do I feel guilty? No, I expect
to be paid handsomely for my efforts, I wouldn't have it
any other way. We live in a large house in an exclusive
area and that's my reward for going the extra mile at work.
I don't automatically go home at the end of the working
day. And sometimes I arrive at the office as early as 6am,
just to prepare for a meeting with my team.
I
want to be rich and I am prepared to plan and work towards
my goals. I look forward to the future. I don't know what's
around the corner and I don't care, because whatever happens
I will handle the situation. I know I can solve problems
- my strength lies within, it does not come from any outside
forces. I couldn't care less whether other people approve
of me or not, I know I'm okay and that's all that matters.'
Two
Opposing Philosophies
Norman's
slavery to acting normal (and slavery to what other people
think), creates poverty and unhappiness. While David's striving
to be different (and refusal to be a slave to other people's
expectations of him) creates wealth and happiness.
If
you are ever tempted to query if David's attitude is not
a tad selfish, then just ask yourself this question, 'who
would you prefer to have as a friend? Norman, who's bored
and unhappy or David who's exciting and happy?' Easy isn't
it.
Power
Step #3: Look to the Future
If
you dwell on your past mistakes your creativity can crash
to a grinding halt and you will be unable to move forward.
Losing is good if you interpret it correctly.
Demonstration
Example: A friend of mine told me how a number of years
ago, an acquaintance of his, approached him with a spectacular
lead about a stock that was certain to triple in price in
the next few weeks. The price was $7.45 a share. So, despite
his misgivings he bought 200 shares. From that day the stock
dropped. Finally eighteen months later he decided to cut
his losses and sell.
He
sold the stock for a huge loss at a grand total of $413.
He could have let this one bad experience drive him from
ever investing in the stock market again. However, this
wise man explained, he was glad to have learned such valuable
lessons.
It
taught him:
1.
Ignore the guy who wants to give a hot tip.
2. Check into a company carefully before buying.
3. Sell if it starts dropping too much.
Education
of the Highest Merit
Don't
regard mistakes as mistakes. It ceases to be a mistake and
loses its power to hold you back if you can learn to be
glad that you've not failed but learned valuable lessons
in life. That attitude will help you to build future successes.
Lost
a job? You probably weren't suited, so take the time out
to decide what you really want to do. Built a business and
then it crashed? Perhaps you don't like running your own
business. Can't sell a product? Look for the reason and
then act. Either try out other ways to sell it or scrap
the product and sell a different one.
Blessed
is he who is not discouraged by mistakes. Blessed is he
who is glad he makes mistakes. Winning - or losing - is
a state of mind.
Power
Step #4: It's Never Too Late
Sadly,
the following story is all too common: Bill spent years
training to be an engineer, although he never really liked
engineering. But he thought it was worth the sacrifice because
it was a highly paid skill.
After
college, he started a job with an engineering company. Years
later he was still working at the same company and still
hating it. His excuse was with a mortgage and family ties
he was scared to leave the engineering firm and go into
a job with lower wages.
After
twenty years he was still afraid to correct a mistake made
all those years ago. He was now too scared to change jobs,
simply because he'd left it too late. He didn't want to
compete with younger men experienced at their job.
If
you have a goal and you find yourself saying 'it's too late',
the only way to conquer that fear is to ignore it and go
ahead and do the thing you fear. It's NEVER too late if
you have the courage and the passion to follow your dream.
Power
Step #5: Don't Crave Security
In
ages past we accepted that life was full of hardships. They
grappled with huge animals in a desperate bid to kill them
for food. The odds were simple; either succeed or starve,
kill or be killed.
As
civilisations discovered fire and then electricity and gas
to keep warm, bought food from markets and built houses
of stone, people became less willing to deal with any unexpected
events that threatened to turn their cosy life upside down.
So, insurance was invented.
The
idea of insurance is to cushion the impact of the unexpected.
In theory it's a good idea, but it has turned our society
into a population of security seekers. It has weakened our
strength as individuals who know we can surmount any problem
or situation that life throws our way.
The
stifling extent of this slavery is enormous. The more security
we have the less psychological freedom we can enjoy and
the less our chances are of success and abundance.
Dare
to Take a Chance
The
only places to find security are a prison or mental hospital.
Inmates are assured a roof over their heads, food and warmth
and no responsibilities. The price tag for this security?
No freedom.
Unfortunately,
it's all too easy to reel off a list of bad things that
could happen to us. For most people it's easier than thinking
of the good things that could happen. People who crave security
are slaves to a vivid imagination that conjures up bad news
items that could happen to them, and they allow these images
to cripple their actions. Too afraid to start that great
business idea because of all the things they imagine that
could go wrong. Too frightened to sell up and buy a larger
house in another area because the house prices could drop
or the children won't like the new schools, or... and so
it goes on for an endless list.
Every
child loves surprises and life is fun and exciting because
of this. As we grow up and we fight for security, we eliminate
the risks but in doing so we eliminate the surprises and
limit our chances to achieve more than a humdrum life.
If
you want to make sure you don't stifle your need for excitement:
1.
Dare to be individual.
2.
Dare to develop your own style - instead of following fashion.
3.
Dare to study and work to improve yourself in your profession.
4.
Dare to have a positive mental attitude and the courage
to try.
In
other words: Dare to take a chance.
Power
Step #6: I Am Certain to Win
Our
minds drive us to achieve exactly what we believe we're
capable of achieving. This is good news because once we
understand this and master the art of controlled thinking,
then we can guide our destinies towards success.
Controlled
experiments over many years have proved that children who
are considered by their teachers, friends and families to
be 'troublesome or terrors' actually end up getting into
trouble with a high percentage becoming juvenile delinquents.
However, the 'good' group of boys (in the same age group
at the beginning of a study) believed by teachers, friends
and families to stay out of trouble and succeed in school,
go on to do so. Each group of children achieve in accordance
with what people around them believe them capable of doing.
The
conclusion of many similar studies is this: thinking does
make it so. Only a miracle can make the football team win
who starts a game with the 'we know they'll beat us,' attitude.
If
you need to break the bonds of 'I'm certain to fail' slavery:
1.
Hold positive chats with yourself.
2. Surround yourself with positive people.
3. Think, 'I'm going to succeed'.
4. Think, 'I'm a winner'.
The
only person you will have to convince is yourself. Other
people are automatically convinced you're great and a success,
after you have convinced yourself.
