Time and Space of Income

If your income is solely derived from your service per hour then it is limited to your time and space. This takes your time between 9am and 5pm.

If your income is party derived from a savings plan that puts away 10% no matter what, then you begin to be a little more timeless in your finances. It is no longer as dependant on you physically being there to create the income.

This takes a little bit of time to set up – not much just a little. It takes more of a commitment and a choice. But then it simply builds.

If your income is party derived from a financial cushion that puts away another 10% no matter what, then you begin to be a little more timeless in your finances. It is no longer as dependant on you physically being there to create the income.

This takes a little bit of time to set up – not much just a little. It takes more of a commitment and a choice. But then it simply builds.

If your income is party derived from an investment plan that brings a return to your investment 10% no matter what, then your time begins to expand and your income isn’t as dependant on your physically being there to create the income.

This takes a little more time initially to research and set up and then to manage PLUS a long term commitment to your time and space – and it starts with one choice. But then it builds and flows under your vigilance and management.

If your income is party derived from passive sales of a product that you have financially taken a risk of yet another 10% that doesn’t required your time and space but has an automated system and structure in place to support it, your time expands a little more and your income isn’t as dependant on your physically being there to create the income.

This takes a time investment to research and develop, set up and manage PLUS a long term commitment to your time and space – and it starts with one choice. But then it builds slowly under your vigilance and management and requires watering weeding pruning harvesting and seeding in various cycles.

So this is the question – can you commit 40% of the time and income of your Current Reality to invest in your time and space of your Vision? At first your time and space investment will be greater than it is now. However as you move around the wheel of the year through the various seasons, time and space and financial return will transform.

Can you envision what your time and space look like when 10% is derived from your savings and 10% is derived from your cushion and 10% is derived from your investment and 10% is derived from your risk and 60% is derived from your time?

Can you imagine upping the ante and shifting it into higher and higher percentages of return until your set up time and space investment is lower?

Until you enter the new phase of the cycle and the process begins all over again.

Nothing is ever missing. If you can see where your income is not limited to your time and space, then where you are already saving and building a cushion and investing and risking and reaping rewards from your investments and your risks, then your worth, your value - it begins to appreciate.

Appreciation - thanksgiving - for what you have right now - is the key to wealth in every form.

Balancing the Books

How many people globally have been majorly freaking out every time they read a headline about the looming global economic crisis? There is so much stress, fear, anger and confusion. Why? What do we think we will lose? If we could list all those things that we think we will lose, I wonder how many would truly matter. What is our wealth outside of money and business and possessions? What is our wealth if we lose all that we own? Where is the surplus to balance this deficit? No one knows for sure or can easily explain why we are experiencing a Global Financial Crisis (now commonly known as the GFC). So perhaps to better understand it, we could examine what a GFC may mean in our own backyards.In our household, if we need money to pay expenses, we find it by cutting costs elsewhere until we have enough money to cover the costs. We look at our household budget and see where we are spending and what we are purchasing and evaluate what we can cut that doesn’t immediately benefit the household. If we don’t have it we don’t buy it. We spend only what we make. We ask these questions - Do I need to pay for gym membership when I can go for a walk for free? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to pay for Foxtel when I can watch public TV for free? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to buy or rent a DVD when I can borrow a DVD from the library for free? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to pay for beauty or spa treatments when I can get as massage from my husband, walk on the beach, swim in the ocean and breathe mountain air for free? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. This list goes on and on until we cut spending and find the money we need to meet obligations. This continues until the bill is met. We evaluate, we value what we have and make changes to lifestyle accordingly. We save instead of spend. If we spend more than we make and then find ourselves in a situation where we cannot make ends meet, is the government interested in bailing us out? If I run the household budget and balance the books, do I deserve to be given a golden handshake just for doing my job? If I take the weekly grocery money to the pokies, gamble it and lose, is the government interested in bailing me out? What is the value of my household to a government? In our small business, if we need money to pay expenses, we find it by cutting costs elsewhere until we have enough money to cover the costs. We look at our business budget and see where we are spending and what we are purchasing and evaluate what we can cut that doesn’t immediately benefit the business. If we don’t have it we don’t buy it. We spend only what we make. We ask these questions - Do I need to pay for a new desk when I can make do with the one I have now? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to pay for the latest I PHONE when I can use the one I have now? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to pay wages for an assistant when I can manage my time (and that of my team) more effectively and add a little more onto every team members jobs so that together we all achieve what is needed? Five or Ten minutes each day lost in productivity actually costs a company thousands of dollars in a year. No – so add that cost back into the deficit. This list goes on and on until we cut spending and find the money we need to meet obligations. This continues until the bill is met. We evaluate, we value what we have and make changes to operations accordingly. We save instead of spend. If we spend more than we make and then find ourselves in a situation where we cannot make ends meet, is the government interested in bailing us out? If an employee or manager fulfils the expectations of their role –i.e. does the job they were hired to do, do they deserve to be given a raise or a golden parachute just for doing their job? If I take the annual wages budget and invest it in a new enterprise, gamble and incur losses, is the government interested in bailing me out? What is the value of my small business to a government? In our body, if we exhaust our adrenals through stress, the stomach can no longer digest food. When this occurs, the pancreas steps in and the energy is taken from another system until we have enough to cover the costs. The Liver is producing bile that is not efficient. If bile is too acidic it will not digest fat so then pancreas tries to digest. The body is trying to meet its nutritional needs by borrowing from different systems to keep alive. The body’s agenda is to live and it will cling to life as long as it possibly can so it looks at its energy budget and identifies where it is spending and cuts what isn’t immediately benefitting the body. The body values what resources it has and makes changes to its processes accordingly. We save instead of spend. If we spend more energy than we have and then find ourselves in a situation where our bodies have no fuel to survive, is the government interested in bailing us out? If I look after my health and balance all my systems – spiritual, emotional and physical, do I deserve to be given a golden handshake? If I run marathons without fuelling my body, gamble and lose all my energy, is the government interested in bailing me out? What is the value of my body to a government? The enterprise of our households, small businesses and physical bodies hold just as much value as Wall Street or governments. The currency of Infrastructure, Healthcare, Housing, Employment, Fuel, Food, and Education are evident in each enterprise structure regardless of the size with each holding a function and a value.

The simple key to balance the books in each is appreciation.

We are witnessing a global catalyst of great change in our lifetimes. This GFC is giving us the opportunity to appreciate what value we already have by identifying the surplus in our lives. In doing so we may balance whatever deficit that may loom as a result of this great change in balancing the books of the world beginning with our own backyard.

Waste Not Want Not

There is too much stuff in this house – 16 years of four children, various guests, pets, businesses and endless activity.

It just had to go – I needed to truly release SO much of this “stuff” - this was a clearing of Hollywood proportions. The skip was filled to the brim and so we hired a Ute loaded it up and drove to the DUMP.

The Dump – as a kid, going to the dump was THE exciting adventure of the weekend. There was no such thing as a skip – to us that was the nickname that the Greeks and Italians had for us Aussies who watched Skippy the Bush Kangaroo after school each day. This was the time in my childhood when firecracker nights were still legal and Dad could burn anything in the incinerator in the back yard without applying to the council in triplicate.

Whatever was too big and hard to burn, Dad would load up into the Volkswagen. My brother and I would pile in stuffing our bodies in amongst old bikes with knees up to our chins surrounded by various broken bits and pieces of our household’s life that my father could pry from my mother’s stubborn fingers. The closest dump was located in the next suburb with tiny dirt roads carved through mountains of settling landfill winding around various stages of rubbish processing.

Today it is a very trendy upmarket suburb sporting parks and house proud residences. But back then, going to the dump, for me, a budding Archaeologist, this was akin to a religious experience. After all, these were piles of prehistoric treasures just waiting to be discovered and my imagination would run wild digging up jars containing sacred scrolls and all the answers to the universe.

We would drive into craters of dirt, park beside other dumpers and watch as some people sifted through the already dumped “stuff” seeking that “one person’s trash is another’s treasure” find. We would all pile out of the car and grab the various refuse items and literally just throw willy nilly out onto the ground. The smell was something that has etched itself onto my memory forever – a combination of old, dirt, sickness and death – simply ferrel. There were crows, magpies and seagulls everywhere – all capitalising on whatever opportunity they spotted and wasting nothing.

Looking back now, it was dangerous and quite a health and safety hazard. That is something we never thought of back then. However as a six year old, dodging the seagulls swooping while chucking crap from the VW - it was great fun!

Today, the Dump is called a Transfer Station. Transferring your trash OUT of your household and into a station where it can be recycled restored and resold as someone else’s treasure is a federal enterprise and managed by a strict accountability system. So today, driving into neat lawned grounds we were met by a weighing station and given a ticket with specific path and bay instructions. Impeccable landscaped gardens greet us around each corner and after seven curbs we turn into a large shed with an enormous deep hole in the middle where bulldozers and large shiny yellow squishing machines transform ordinary rubbish into flat neat little packages. The dump smell is diluted to 100th of my memory and the whole place was – well – clean and tidy. I felt significantly underdressed and respectively hopped out of the car, mindful of all the safety instructions as per the hundreds of signs around me and carefully placed the rubbish into the designated area.

It felt like we were at Ikea – the Ikea where items are returned and transferred after a decade or two. I watched the abundance of our city being transferred to this neat clean little facility and wondered about our relationship with “stuff” and where appreciation would factor into our waste management practices. What a great example of the universal balance – here at the Dump?

Sunday mornings may find many people at Harvey Norman or Far Pavilions buying new furniture. Sunday afternoons may find many people at the Transfer Station relieving themselves of the old furniture they no longer want. In one end and out the other – just like living organisms expelling toxins and waste.

Waste management is big business and is the human control of the collection, treatment and disposal of different wastes. Approximately 3000 tonnes of solid waste are generated each day in the south-east corner of Queensland alone. Most of this waste is sent to landfill. But what if we applied the law of the 5 ‘R’s before we made our next purchase?Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Restore – this is what REAL appreciation is all about!

How could we upgrade our relationship with “stuff” with appreciation and reduce our waste? Decluttering is a wonderful thing. Clearing out creates space on an energetic level. However what if we regularly conducted an inventory of every single thing that we owned and held in our house, office or life?
What if we valued our “stuff”?
What if we converted decluttering to our very own internal transfer station?

My grandmother’s favourite saying was “Waste Not Want Not” and she lived her life by that premise. I would definitely be in lots of trouble if she were still alive today.

Let’s look at the big picture here – look at the WHOLE picture. I created the Push the Earth policy for our business and industry and have been patting myself on the back about how much I value the environment yet look at my first paragraph – “There is too much stuff in this house – 16 years of four children, various guests, pets, businesses and endless activity. It just had to go – I needed to truly release SO much of this “stuff” - this was a clearing of Hollywood proportions.”

Here I am complaining about having abundance in – well abundance – and instead of appreciating it – I am DUMPING it. The word Waste comes from the Anglo Frankish “waster” meaning to spoil and ruin - squander, spend or consume uselessly.
How about we SAVE, VALUE and APPRECIATE what we have instead of WASTE?
How about we live a simpler life?
Live as part of the earth, part of the tides, the natural rhythms, the planets and the elements.

Align the values of the earth with family, community, work and our own.
Live with less.
Make better use of our resources.
Make better use of our time.

What would appreciate then?

Exchange Enlightenment

Thursday 27 December was overcast and raining in the morning as we ventured out into London again. Today’s mission was to find the British Museum as the boys were keen to explore every inch of it. We navigated through the Tube, exited at Tottenham Court RoadWalked up great Russell Place and there it was swarming with thousands of people from all over the world – cacophony of accents and flavours.

Surprisingly it was free admittance - a nice bonus when we entered the Great Court. Starting with the Egyptians and then the Assyrians it took several hours before we even looked at the Roman and Greek rooms.

Since childhood, I have found it difficult to walk in antique shops. I feel nauseous and unable to breathe like something is choking me. Is this old energy that I am feeling – no idea – however I experienced this on a grand scale last year in the Vatican Museum. Today at the British Museum, it was much worse so I headed outside as quickly as possible to get some air. The boys were very enthusiastic about the Museum so after a quick lunch at a local café we went back inside.

Walking into the History of Money hall, I no longer felt ill however I had quite an epiphany instead. When we breathe our bodies convert Oxygen and use it in a variety of ways throughout our physical system. It is exchanged and this is a benefit from which the body can profit when it manages the oxygen and the body effectively using the RRRRR policy – reuse recycle etc.

Exchange is the basis of life. Fair Exchange is according to one perspective. Everything that happens in life is a commercial opportunity. If someone can effectively utilise a resource and get more out of it by investing time and energy into doing so, then this will be charged and sold on accordingly where needed or where it is perceived to be needed.

The knowing of oneself and one’s body and the Natural Laws and looking at life through the matrix of balance is the only effective way of managing the resource of life. If one does NOT manage one’s own resources then another external entity will – by the laws of Nature. Waste not Want not. A population of dependant people who look to external authority to take claim or accord blame will always be used for commercial exploitation for they set themselves up for that very thing simply by expectation that SOMEONE WILL FIX THIS OR MAKE IT HAPPEN. Governments and Religions are external reflections of our own physical systems – something that RUNS everything.

Money is a commercial enterprise that has been established and utilised for thousands of years for profit. Minting and distributing it is an expense that is added onto its value. This British Museum room more effectively details our modern financial system than I have ever witnessed. Once you delete the HAVES and the HAVE NOTS illusion and see money for what it REALLY is – just another unit of exchange – you gain much more control over it and can choose YOUR value. Ah controversy!!!!! (I can hear the comments now)

No longer feeling ill, I chose to sit in the Room of Enlightenment while the boys inspected the rest of the Museum. You know, symbols wise – London certainly provides much information. Lions are everywhere – on buildings, standing guard over doorways and gates.Gargoyles and reptiles surround them on rooves and over drainpipes. The boys are noting the symbols for each age – Twins (Romulus and Remus) for Gemini, Ram for Aries, Bull for Taurus, Fish (Jesus) for Pisces and beginning to question what happened in the previous ages and WHO made up the symbols. Then Niko decided that the Mayans were responsible for the Lion symbol that we see on EVERYTHING here. It will be interesting to research that and discover the basis of its origin and relevance of its symbolism.

The Room of Enlightenment spoke of classifying the world. Think about that! Who made up the classifications and the criteria for each? Looking at ages and civilisations room by room at a Museum like this is a brilliant example of how humanity creates its own destiny. Being in this place truly inspired the boys to ask questions – how come the Assyrians and Egyptians exhibited such incredible advancement thousands of years BEFORE the simple and naïve Celts and Europeans?

Those two rooms combined with the literally trillions of dollars worth of antiquities that the British STOLE from the Ancient World profoundly cleared my perspective of this matrix.

After the Enlightenment of the Museum, we visited Abbey Road and the boys reluctantly crossed the road on the zebra crossing for photographs. Paled into insignificance after the ancient worlds they had walked through hours earlier.

Then we made our way through the crazed shopping crowds on Oxford Street to go to the Odeon Marble Arch and see I AM LEGEND. It was very unsettling especially walking back through the thousands of people on Oxford Street and then being squished like sardines onto the Tube platform and then into the carriages. That bloody movie is haunting me and has brought a whole pile of fears to the surface I’m afraid. The opportunity for a deliberately created and publicly released air borne virus to be effective is all too evident here in such an abundantly populated small island. I’m not sure how London will cope with so many people visiting for the 2012 Olympics!

Being here in this city is not like being in Italy where one lives more in alignment with Nature. Living here is being fuelled by Enterprise Exchange that has been an industry of thousands of years. I still love London however feel rather nauseous and guarded and keeping vigilant about the forces in this matrix. There is much going on here.

Whats the Charge? How Much?

I realised during my absence from my company and from Australia just how much power we each have that we use indirectly and covertly.

A tale of woe and the erection of verbal brick walls (I cant do it) are our creations when we use chaos, challenge and tragedy as tools and strategies for life. I know with certainty that nothing is missing. I continue to see it in every moment. I recognise that the use of loyalty is an effective tool of manipulation. When there is always a reason and an excuse, a justification that an event was caused by an external force, I now recognise how this distraction is of enormous benefit to everyone – in the short term. To maintain an illusion in our lives – we all do this in various forms – we are able to manage the baggage that we all carry. In the short term this is effective however unless we transform this illusion we neve truly value the bit of US that is US and the illusion becomes our version of reality.

Real value where we see both sides – see ALL sides – and are grateful for everything and everyone in our lives regardless of perception or judgement – this is where we can begin to work on purpose and on mission.

We all want something – there is a target in our sights. Yet without REAL VALUE, that target will remain on the horizon and out of reach – and we get to use a tale of woe is me and blame something outside of ourselves and continue to live in illusion.

How beautiful is a country landscape on a clear day? You get to see MORE. Mist and clouds are romantic and affect our emotions and certainly have a great purpose however I also wish to have clarity of my vision. Get the picture?

Imagine you are an auctioneer for a living. You get items each day to sell. Before you open to the market for bidding, you have to examine the item to establish WHAT exactly it is so you can sell to the market.

So you sit in a small room, turn the light on from above, each side and below and look at every part of it – any part you miss lessens the value. Any detail you miss out on in your evaluation is a detail that you lose potential money on in the sale and guaranteed some auction audience member will challenge you on – and you won’t be prepared.

So value you by looking at yourself from every Angle – appreciate (which grows) every side – see the worth and the value without judgement.When you have a charge on something or someone (It’s their fault-That’s money YOU could be charging for the item, however the charge you feel deducts that amount from the total – therefore GIVING some of your value away.

I’ve recently encountered an individual in business that is so charged about everything and everyone that he simply doesn’t have the ability to make any real money. He couldnt value himself from every angle and therefore found it difficult to charge HIS true value and create his true WORTH. I can see his worth but unless HE sees it, he remains one big cost factor. There’s a great lesson for ME as I was valuing loyalty and altruism instead of VALUE and WORTH and APPRECIATION. I am so grateful to him for this lesson. He taught me where I was charged and not manifesting in another value area.

So in a business, if management and staff VALUE themselves and collapse all CHARGES, they have the ability CHARGE a greater VALUE and appreciate their worth instead of the business incurring charges because they have a value on loyalty and altruism instead of true individual self value.

Everyone is of value. Everyone teaches. Everyone learns.

Gone Fishing

There is a well known Chinese Proverb that says “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

My intention in business (and I guess in life generally) is to remind people that they already own a fishing rod, already use it, know how to fish and are already feeding themselves. (Because I am reminding myself first and foremost)

My birth myth was to behave, keep quiet, keep ME locked away to as not to annoy anyone and look after those around me so they feel better. Ta Da!!! A perfect match for being a Business Coach! A perfect match for being an Agent! A perfect match for being a Facilitator!

I see the gods within others and make everything about them so they feel better. Then if they feel better, I feel as if I have achieved my purpose. However my purpose is all about my own gold which I have kept from everyone in order to maintain the focus on THEM. I get to AVOID my purpose by supposedly reminding others of theirs.

I'm driven to build a business as this is how I show that I'm NOT like the person who locked me away originally. However I have always worked in partnership with another to ensure I continually serve THEM and deny myself therefore keeping the perceived source in the locked room with me at all times. Then when I ask to be served and am not because as a master creator I set it up this way, I get to play the Holy Trinity Game with me starring as the Victim. In every situation I serve clients, partners, staff and children by putting them first and me last thereby perpetuating this myth ad nauseum. The crimes I accuse others of are the very ones I have created.

Being depressed (which is suppressed anger about an unmanifest fantasy) indicates that my greatness is pushing me to surrender and transform. I've been clinging onto this myth tighter recently because it’s becoming more and more obvious that its time to let go.

When we feel unloved and invalidated by a parent, we create strategies to continue to recreate this in every environment and situation. We create scenarios where men and women want to love us enough so that we feel it.

But heres the thing – we never do and so this creates an external motivation of sorts for people to stay in our lives.

The five year old in us that feels inadequate in every way runs our businesses, parents our children and directs our lives. Our five year old needs protecting from being bullied by our fathers and therefore being saved continually by our mothers. This child will always resent those who love us as they remind us that we feel like there is something wrong with us in the first place.

In our mothers we see strength as compared to our perception of our own weakness. So we ask for assistance, utilize the strength of the one offering to serve us and then express anger and hate them for doing what we precisely asked for originally.

We certainly are master creators.

Yes my perception of a specific person in my life fired the motivation for that strategy judgment above however I can see that I have employed that same strategy too.

Every situation, person, transaction and experience I come across is used by me as inspiration or motivation for my creative expression or enterprise training. I have become an expert at effective resource management. Every single one of us is the same and expresses it in our own value systems filtered by our perceptions stemming from the myths we make up about ourselves. The hierarchy of our values is expressed in a particular unit of exchange and THIS ultimately becomes the COST of maintaining these illusions.

History shows countless examples of the male lineage of business expressed in a variety of ways – the danger, crime, bankruptcy, fraudulent battles in the war of business. Traditionally men are driven to build a business at any cost as this is how to show their fathers that they are worthy men. However moreoften than not, women provide the administrative and/or emotional as staff or partners support thereby perpetuating the above cycle. The crimes we accuse others of are the very ones we have created.

Expressing anger is an indication that your greatness is pushing you to surrender and transform. In response we cling onto this myth tighter because it’s becoming more and more obvious that its time to let go.

We enter the Desert and ponder allowing the wind to absorb us or resist and challenge our transformation. I know that every single one of us can relate to BOTH myths and others. We are all the same. Our perceptions see us as separate yet we embrace ALL these traits in our lives for benefits at different times driven by the perceived voids and filtered by our own mythologies.

So this little drama starring (Actor 1) and (Actor 2) was a creation specifically designed for entertainment, education and transformation end results.

I hope you buy plenty of popcorn and find a comfortable seat because this will continue forever. The only thing that will change will be the words, circumstances, environment and the faces.

Or you can just go fishing instead!

Money Money Money

My daughter has always wanted to travel to Italy.

Very young, freshly graduated from university with a very large mortgage and corporate vocation it seemed that her dream was a long way off, until, that is, a series of unusual events gave her the time, space and opportunity to take her dream holiday. She did not have the money yet believed that somehow she would find it and make it happen.

She made a choice, valued her long term vision and appreciated herself in a way she has never done before. Since that day, she and her partner have "received" thousands of dollars in various unexpected ways through bonus payments, unexpected tax returns, lotto winnings and even finding money on the street.

My daughter has not studied any of the popular inspirational motivational personal development programs - she thinks it is all a pile of crap. :-) However naturally she has begun to live her life magically. Her life has become a CHOICE. I look at her recent experience and marvel at how she has so effortlessly begun to master her creations.

I still hear my dad's voice in my head telling me that life is tough and I should get used to it! Ah the indoctrination of our generation!Thats his mythology - I choose to create my own.

Money is just one unit of exchange where we express our power as a creator. It is impossible to run out of units of exchange. It is our choice how we express our power – money, knowledge, love, friendship, business, imagination or resources. Based on our current hierarchy of values, our expressions are endless. I can sit here at my laptop and write as many words as I choose. I can read as many books as I choose. I can love as many people as I choose.

When we appreciate the ME of us, our lives, our creations, our values and our units of exchange, we have the ability to create as much money as we choose.

The HOW is this appreciation begins with the ME.

It is in the understanding of our internal and external creations that we create a starting point.

Identifying our hierarchy of values – as they stand now – knowing they will evolve as we choose - raise actions or lower standards - we choose.

Looking at our lives – the benefits and the drawbacks and developing an attitude of gratitude for both sides.

Appreciating the mythology we have created and the incredible power behind everything that we have created so far – really marvelling with childlike wonder – wow – look at this creation!!

Seeing where life really sucks – sitting in it – roll around in the mud and grime of it – and loving that as the master creator we chose to create a prison to break out of maybe just to create escape routes and elaborate plans. OR we could choose to renovate the prison into a resort and stay or go as we please in true freedom - whatever we want. We reclaim our power from the stuff that sucks and use that power for whatever we choose instead.

Try shifting focus when paying bills - feel loved and appreciated and excited that in paying these bills we are actually paying the ME in US. Any debt that we have incurred forms part of OUR VALUE so therefore if we FEEL grateful for the debt and see it as an opportunity to expand our VALUE and WORTH, the power is positive rather than negative.

Have a look and see what we think is missing in our lives and see where we already have it.

Making the choice to have fun playing in business knowing we can express ourselves in any unit of exchange we want is both liberating and empowering.

Just have fun in anything that we do.

Feel JOY with each creation regardless of its perceived positive or negative.

See money as APPRECIATION.

The more we appreciate it, the more it will grow.As this appreciation grows, our perceptions of an infinite abundance feels more real and then the limits begin to melt away.

Really that five year old is still running our lives and she is playing games, having fun and in this way has created the WHAT in these units of exchange for many people I know:

Receiving unexpected Tax Refund payments
Finding a vacancy in a 5 star hotel in a town which had purportedly been booked out for months.
Meeting someone new and creating another business enterprise without planning for it – just happened, was fun and financially rewarding
Booking an overseas trip at the last minute and finding the money to pay for it without dipping into my savings
Winning thousands at a casino first time
Finding forgotten money tucked away in my house for safe keeping

Everywhere we look, there is money.

All you need is an imagination and a willingness to make CHOICES.

Have fun, appreciate what you have, make your choices, reclaim your power and create what you want.

Prosperity

It seems that life as we know it is all about working hard and playing hard while filling nearly every moment with activity.

Our families believe they cannot survive without two incomes to pay for a standard of living that has doubled in the past 50 years. Who said: Spending money we don’t have to buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like?

Here’s an alternative radical thought – could we work less, want less and spend less? Could this lead to a happier and more fulfilled lifestyle? What do we REALLY want? What is the essence of happiness? Is happiness connected to our financial value?

Here’s a suggestion – try to play the Prosperity Game. Here’s how:

You set up an Accounting Package - QuickBooks or MYOB or Excel spreadsheet or just print fake deposits and cheques for your PROSPERITY BANK ACCOUNT. Every day for one year, the Universe makes a deposit into this account. $1000.00 on the first day, then $2000 on the second day, then $3000 on the third day and so forth until on the 365th day the deposit is $365000.00. Each day you have to spend the entire amount of the deposit. I think in total it is $66Million. You can do daily or just do as much as you can each day until you spend one years worth.

Half way through this game you realise that prosperity is actually NOT about the money at all.

The things I REALLY wanted in my life could NOT be bought.

Try the exercise and find out what you REALLY want in your life and how much prosperity you already have.
