Thoughts Become Things

It has been said that what you think about expands and the you can attract what it is you want simply by being focused on what you want. This morning I was coaching a business client that was telling me that everytime she had money problems she lost faith in the universe.

I am not sure however that its the universe's fault if the money is running low. I think its most likely the fact that you have not told the universe what you are looking for and what it is you want with intention. I think that everytime you get lazy with your thoughts, the universe get lazy as well. It thinks, if its not important to you then its not important to me either.

I think you need to get yourself primed for success and that means being ready to play the game every day. When things drop off, thats when the universe says, hey this is not that important and then takes a rest as well. What do you expect? Do you think the universe is sitting there saying, if he is taking a break then I should continue to keep sending those good vibes, that business that he is looking for when I think all he is asking for is a break.

To be certain the universe follows your every thought. It says to you, what are you thinking about what do you want me to send you. I know some you think that should be a your soul mate an attractive man, women or new car, but it does not work like that. The universe picks up on your vibrations. It understands that you are in a high or low vibration and it decievers the the difference between positive and negative thoughts.

Therefore, negative thoughts produce negative vibrations and so on. Remember thoughts become things. Think good and productive thoughts and the universe is in that zone, right beside you.

Gratitude the Ultimate Tool for Success

Having recently enjoyed an amazing and wet spring in the Gatineau Hills it reminded me that I should be talking about gratitude in my blog. The word is an amazing tool when you want to ensure that you are making a difference here on the planet. Its a simple process, all you need to do is thank the universe and the creator every day for some of the simple things you already have.

We all get caught up in the fact that we want more of something to be happy. The simple fact is that the more you are thankful for including what you already have the happier you will become. Its pretty simple, we have everything in this world already around us. We don't need much else. Its simple just to say thanks for everything and realize when you do you whole attitude changes.

So thanks to the creator for the spring, as wet as you were, the cloudy days, the moody nights, the dandelions and the black flys. They are all the magnificent things that are part of making up this amazing world we live in. Just writing this blog, I feel a whole lot better and I am already more optimistic that the money is now on its way and will be in my hands. Thanks to the creator for making all of this possible.

Ten on the Prosperity Scale

This week we discuss the prosperity scale from one to ten. First off, prosperity should be defined.

My view of prosperity is that it is made up of personal happiness and gratitude. For real prosperity, one should understand that one can be happy as long as one is living in integrity.

Integrity is a totally misunderstood thing. Integrity means being truthful and honest with yourself and those around you. It means being understanding, setting boundaries and dedicated and focused on what is right. In our modern society we have a lot of people that consider there lives to be in integrity but its mostly based on selfishness that what they are doing right for them and not those around them.

Prosperity on the other hand is about having and giving and giving freely to others. Prosperity can also focus in on telling the truth, keeping your commitments, living in integrity and making sure that you are sharing your true self with others.

How often have you walked into a room full of people and met those that are the one's that are contrived or seem to be unreal in how they discuss anything with you. Once you understand that prosperity is truth and truth leads to prosperity then you have hit ten on the prosperity scale.

There’s a Lot to be Thankful for in Business This Holiday Season

A lot of North America is going through tough times especially our friends to the south who are still finding their way out of the recession. Just when it was thought that things were turning around it now seems that the recession is still got a hold on the U.S. and well in Canada things are still pretty much the same. We are holding our own and things are starting to look brighter every day.

In my book the Ten Commitments to a Better Life, I talk about how to say thank you for what you have. If you commit to saying thanks amazing things can happen.

It does not matter much where you are in the grand scheme of business or what religion you practice or preach, the holiday or the Christmas season is upon us and as a world we still have a lot to be thankful for. The following represents my five top business things to be thankful for this holiday season.

One: I want to say thank you for the Internet and all the free services provided by the Internet. Everything from sharing pictures and photos with friends, talking on Skype and having access to free email and millions upon millions of bytes of information on Google. This is one business tool we should never stop thanking.

Two: I want to say thank you for my Blackberry mobile phone. The Blackberry in my mind is one of Canada’s greatest inventions. Mind you it’s now taking second place to the Apple IPhone and the I pad but hopefully it won’t be there for long and with the advent of the new tablet in the spring, Blackberry should be back in the game.

Three: I wanted to say thank you to my customers. Customers are my greatest asset. They teach me how to run my business. They demand more from me and push me to be better than I could ever be alone. A wise man once said, if you want to know how to sell your product, just ask your customers. Too often as business people we forget that it’s our customers that are really our business. Without them we would not have a business, so thanks.

Four: I wanted to thank my suppliers. Without them I would also not have a business. They help me to produce the products I need to sell. Without my suppliers I would not have the research and development and the help to develop better products. So to my suppliers, thank you.

So we have a lot to be thankful for. I left out the usual stuff, like my family, my health and my banker, however those things get thanked every day. They are actually ranked, number one everyday. My health is the main thing and during my daily meditation I thank my body for its ability to heal when sick, or injured and able to provide so many great things for me to participate in including this manifestation of the reality of life around me.

I also thank the creator for making my life an amazing thing and in Canada (and North America for that matter) we have the opportunity to do anything we want in business.

So if you are business person out there and think and wonder when it’s going to turn around, just remember you are connected and you to have a lot to be thankful for. As we move into a new year, there are a lot of little things to be thankful for. It’s the little things that take care of the big things. So when in doubt say thanks and prosper.
