A beautiful story

NEED WASHING?

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target. She must have been 6 years old - this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Target.

We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.

The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.

"What?" Mom asked.

"Lets run through the rain!" She repeated.

"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.

This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain."

"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.

"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm. This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?

"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"

The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes.

Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.

And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories ... So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday.

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.

I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Slow down and take time to live... Keep in touch with your friends - and don't forget to run in the rain!

Fear

Genevieve Behrend wrote “Fear should be entirely banished from your consciousness in order for you to obtain possession of the things you want.”

Napoleon Hill said that fear is nothing more then a state of mind and that there are 6 basic fears:

• Poverty;
• Criticism;
• Ill health;
• Lost love;
• Old age;
• Death.

Read The Six Ghosts Of Fear in “Think and Grow Rich.” Amazing how we try to disguise our fear!

How To Deal With The 'Down' Times

This morning I spoke with members of my Inner Circle MasterMind group. Two people said that they were finding it difficult to pull themselves out of a slump of negative thinking especially when finances became a challenge.

We are conditioned to think what can go wrong, so when something doesn't work out how we planned or thought it should, if money doesn't show up as quickly as we want, it is so easy for most people to start to think of everything that can go wrong. The more we think of what can go wrong, the more doubt and worry we have, and the greater the fear we feel. It becomes a downward spiral of self-doubt, worry, fear and anxiety. We can even get to the point of feeling so totally overwhelmed that we cannot even force ourselves to think creatively, feel positive or even feel a sense of gratitude. This ultimately leads to hopelessness, depression and even suicide! Sadly, the future can seem so dark and grim that even death seems a better option - it almost certainly leads to the death of dreams and an unhappy, unfulfilled life.

Wallace D Wattles wrote in his book "The Science of Getting Rich" that the hardest activity for a human being is to think the TRUTH regardless of appearances. See, the truth is each one of us has unlimited boundless potential, money is unlimited, health is unlimited, happiness is unlimited, love is unlimited, The universe is unlimited, God is unlimited. What we do is create the limitation by looking at our past or present conditions and circumstances. To move out of any sort of a slump we MUST look to the future and we MUST look at what MUST go right instead of what may go wrong.

If you are experiencing self-doubt, worry, fear, anxiety ... here are a few things you can do:

1. Go for a 15 minute brisk walk and overload your mind with positive affirmations about yourself. Say: "I will win. Why? Because I have Faith, Courage and Enthusiasm." or "I was created after the image and likeness of God, therefore all the power that created the universe is also within me, to co-create my world exactly how I want it to be. I feel total abundance flowing to me now!" Talk these aloud ... even shout them out!
2. Get VERY clear and specific about how you want your life to look. "Without hope people perish." Whenever we are down it is because we are not clear about what we want in our lives or we are not focused on it. You MUST take time EVERY SINGLE DAY to write out your new life and meditate on it. The more emotion and energy you dedicate to it the more rapidly your life will change.
3. Put on some lively music.
4. Call a friend who looks at what can go right. We get so buried in our own emotional stuff that we cannot see outside. A person who is not emotionally involved in the situation and supports you and your dreams can be the biggest asset you have.
5. Get to work! Just start working on a project or something to take your mind off what could go wrong.
6. Take time every day to write out 20 solutions. Do this for 7 days and do not stop each day until you have 20 solutions.
7. Listen to a personal development CD every day.

Get hold of my Aussie Born Rich program - I explain in it the complete worry/fear process and how to get out of it. Play it over and over again and watch miracles happen.

Remember: We can focus on the bills or we can focus on abundance, we have the choice!

Think & Grow Rich

"A weakness found in altogether too many people is the habit of measuring everything and everyone, by their own impressions and beliefs." - Napoleon Hill

Think & Grow Rich

Adversity & The Secret

Many people think that because you understand and use The Secret ( or better named 'The Law Of Vibration' which is the foundation of 'The Law Of Attraction') then you are immune from adversity - actually the opposite is true.

Wallace D Wattles in his book "The Science Of Getting Rich" wrote that "All physical and mental science is based on one great law an its seven subsidiary laws which operate in co-ordination with each other." That means if we attempt to explain circumstances using only The Secret we will at best blame the universe or God!!! People say "Oh! I guess I must have been thinking something wrong;" or "I just don't understand, I was doing all the right things."

There is the 'Law of Cause and Effect' (often referred to as sowing and reaping) and the 'Law Of Polarity'. If we want to have more, do more and be more than we already are, then something must change within us. Our thoughts, feelings and actions have got us to were we are now, but they will not serve us to become more then who we are now.

We may not be totally happy and fulfilled with our present situation, but it is comfortable (we know it.) We usually do not seek to make large mental shifts in our conscious thinking until and unless we are faced with enough adversity to make us change.

It's a bit like a large ship at sea ... it sails directly from one port to another except to change course to navigate around a land mass. We keep on going in the same direction, hoping for change but comfortable in our familiarity. It is only when we are faced with huge adversity do we look for another route or direction. Then we look back at the huge challenges we faced and realise that we would not have made the change in direction or changes in our thoughts, feelings and actions had we not had the adversity! It's the adversity that makes us who we are and allows us to enjoy our new found joy, happiness and abundance.

So when you are facing massive adversity, and at times it feels almost unbearable, remember that it is only through adversity that we become who we need to be to reach our goals.

Napoleon Hill in the chapter on Persistence in his book "Think & Grow Rich" wrote it so well when he said that "every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent benefit."

How To Attract Abundance with Commision Sales

An email I received recently:

Hey David Schirmer ! Thank you so much for being my friend, and being supportive of my dreams.

I had a rough day at work today, and I feel as though a client of mine betrayed me. But I have found a way to let it go and practice the principles in the law of attraction, as well as the four agreements.

To tell you the story, I spent several hours two different weekends showing my clients houses, only for them to call another Realtor off a yard sign and write up a contract. I was so hurt and angry about this - I called my broker on the phone crying. Not only because I thought these clients were loyal to me, but because I spent so many hours of my time when I could have been holding open houses, cold calling, etc. Also, if they would have written the contract with me - I would have made close to $2,500 on the sale. Also, I work on commission only - so all of the work and time I put into finding my clients a home I did for nothing.

Anyway, the reason I am sharing this with you is because at the point when I was angry - I wanted to cuss out my clients and the other Realtor (who knew I was working with them) but my business partner reminded me of my principles, and told me just to let it go. Then something clicked inside of me that there was just no way around it - I needed to forgive my clients and the other Realtor.

Because holding on to negative energy, which means hatred, resentment, envy, etc. will do nothing but attract more of the same energy into my life! That is when I was reminded of how many loyal, honest and sinere people I have around me - such as my broker who listened to me cry, my loan officer who I was able to go next door to and cry some more, my business partner who reminds me of what is important - and of course, my friends like you - who are so supportive, kind and encouraging. Just your presense uplifts my spirits and makes me feel so much better about my life.

My Answer:

Thank you for sharing your experience.

What you just went through happens to everyone on commission ... most people don't realise that they attract the circumstance to them.

To Forgive means "Thank you for-giving me this experience!"

Understand that because you 'missed out' on the $2500 commission you didn't really. See if we understand the money is in infinite abundant supply then it can never be taken from us. We then start to working on the creative plane rather than the competive plane and know that much more is on its way to us. We never need to compete for money, or anything else for that matter. All we have to do is see it coming and get ready to recieve it ... which means to mentally prepare by creating the picture of the exact amount already in our posession.

Now you need to focus on how you want the next situation to be. Create a very powerful and emotional picture of loyal, honest clients coming to you with little or no effort on your behalf, see them signing your contracts, then thanking you for the wonderful job you did of finding their new home for them ... then see them referring their friends to you. Before long you will have so many clients that you will be grateful for this $2,500 lesson.

By the way, had you not had this lesson, you wouldn't have emailed me and got this guidance!

Yours in abundance

David
