Is That Really Me? by H.V.Hendrick and J.K.Feltner (e textbook reader .TXT) 📕

you do, do you like your job? If so, great! Would you like to become more successful at your job? Are you in a job that doesn't fit you? It's a stepping stone toward the one you truly want.

I will now give you some insights on how to make it a better world for you and your world.

There is a science to getting rich in every aspect of your life. The plan is easy to follow but it requires one sure thing from you....desire. A deep seeded desire! Not a wish. A burning desire.

Making these changes come from doing things in a certain way. If you do these things in a certain way, you will be successful at becoming rich emotionally, physically, financially and in every manner in which you desire.

No person is kept poor, out of shape physically, mentally exhausted or emotionally drained because it has been taken away from them. There aren't any fences around being wealthy, physically fit, mentally astute or emotionally well balanced.

I would like to deliver a quote from Wallace Wattles, author of the book The Science of Getting Rich...

“ Thought is the only power which can produce tangible riches from the formless substance (infinite intelligence, God). The stuff from which all things are made is a substance which thinks. A thought of form in this substance produces the form.”

“Original substance moves according to its thoughts. Every form and process you see in nature is the visible expression of a thought in the original substance. As it thinks of a form, it takes that form; as it thinks of a motion, it makes that motion. That is the way all things were created. We live in a thought world, and this world is a part of a thought universe.”

You must get rid of the thoughts that you have held to that you are overweight because your parents were, you can only be as successful as your parents were, the only talents you have were taking care of children. All of these thoughts are lies. You must only think in truth. The truth is, you are what you think you are.

“A person can form things in his/her thoughts, and by impressing his/her thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he/she thinks about to be created.” Wallace D. Wattles

If you think you are fat...you are. If you think you're old...you are. If you think you belong to someone...you do. But...
If you can see yourself in your mind's eye as slender and shapely, young and independent, then you can create that person in reality.

"What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve!!" Churchill

Would you like to move up the ladder of success in your career? Would you like to be in a different profession? Give more than what you are paid for. It's just that simple. By giving more value to your employer one of two things will happen...you will achieve the promotion you desired, or an opportunity will come that will be better than what you currently have. Be of assistance to your co-workers, find solutions to different problems or situations. Work smarter and spend your time wisely. Be efficient with your time. Don't do things today that should be done tomorrow. Do what needs to be done today. Work quickly but do not rush things. Rushing leads to sloppiness. Do not be competitive with others in the workplace. Be creative. Be of a creative mind not a competitive mind. Competition is based in greed and greediness is stifling. Creative thoughts and actions promote productivity, harmony and growth.

When you are envisioning your desire, remember to be grateful. Be grateful for it like you have already achieved it. Be grateful always. Not just when you think of your desires, but always. Feel that deep feeling of profound gratitude. When you receive one thing that leads you to your desire, don't stop being grateful there. That is where many make their mistake. They achieve one goal on the road to a bigger desire and are grateful for that but then forget to be grateful from that point on. You must always be grateful. The more good things come to us, the more gratefully we fix our minds on the Supreme Power, the more good things we will receive and the more quickly they will come.

I carry with me a gratitude rock. It is a special rock I found one day while walking along the river. It had been rolled so much by the waters that it was very smooth and pleasing to the touch. I decided to carry this rock with me every day and every time I touch it, I would be reminded to be grateful. It is simply amazing how it works. I suggest you find your rock, coin, or some kind of trinket to carry with you to remind you to be grateful. Be grateful for all that you have now and tomorrow.

The value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting more blessings in the future. Without gratitude you can't keep from being dissatisfied with things as they are.

The moment you begin to dwell upon dissatisfaction in things as they are, you begin to lose ground. When you dwell upon those things that bring you unhappiness, your mind will begin to take the form of these things. Thus you begin to create all the things you were trying to get rid of.

The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best of things. It will take the form of the best and will receive the best.

When you try to impress upon your thinking substance (your mind and God's), remember it must be done by a clear and specific statement. You must know exactly what you want and be definite.
You can't start the creative process by being vague in regards to your desires. The clearer and more definite you make your picture, and the more you think about it, the stronger your desire will be. However, you have to be specific!! Live in your new slender body and specify what size you are to be. See yourself in a dress or pair of jeans in your ideal size. Look at your self in the mirror and be profoundly grateful for your body. Don't leave anything to chance!!

Many of you will say that you lack the “will power” to lose weight and exercise. Do you have a burning desire to do this? If you do, then the power of your “will” is simple to use. Use your will to keep yourself thinking and acting in the certain way. Use your will to keep you thinking of that size or the shape of your new body. Act as if your 40 not 50.

The more steady and continuous your faith and purpose, the more rapidly you will get the results you so desire because you will make only positive impressions on the formless substance (God, universe, supreme being, etc.). You will not neutralize or off set them by negative impressions.

Do not talk about being overweight, do not speak of poverty or lack, do not speak of disease, do not talk about anything that is not positive. Do not fill your mind with these things as that is what you will receive.

Do not talk to others about weight issues, financial troubles, job woes or emotional stressing over any of these things is to mentally class yourself with people who do not understand that which I am expressing to you as truth. What can you gain by giving heed to people and these issues? Nothing!

Give your attention wholly to who you are, who you want to be, the body you desire, the respect you dream of, the life you want. However, because I tell you to give your whole time and mind and thought to these things does not follow that you are to be sordid or mean.

If you do not have physical health and/or emotional health, you will find that its attainment is conditional on your financial wealth. Only people who are emancipated from financial worry and who have the means to live a carefree existence and can follow hygienic practices can have and retain health. However, if you follow these same truths in your desire for financial wealth, you can readily attain it as well.

If you have financial freedom, it is easier to afford the gym membership, the new wardrobe, the car instead of the mini-van, etc. However, don't put off one desire in order to obtain another. You can imagine and obtain the whole picture. Do not be discouraged by the lack of wealth, be encouraged that it is coming to you because you have a deep seeded desire for wealth, health and love. It's all part of the same “big picture” of your desires.

Thinking is good...
NOW ACT IN THE CERTAIN WAY!

The rock upon which many otherwise intelligent individuals meet shipwreck is the failure to connect thought with personal action. Just thinking your a size 8, or thinking your rich is not enough. Its extremely important but alone it cannot manifest in you your deepest desires.

You have to get off of your backside and get busy. You can't be a couch potato and lose weight and gain muscle mass. Let's Make a Deal can't give you financial success. Days of Our Lives will not provide you with a wonderful relationship. You, and only you must put forth the action and activity to help your dreams materialize.

You must arrange your own business affairs so that you are able to receive the wealth when it comes, your social calender to make the necessary adjustments to your schedule for exercising and your grocery list for eating healthier. Your thoughts make all things, animate and inanimate, work to bring you what you want. However, your personal activities must be such that you can receive what you want when it reaches you.

Whatever your personal action is to be, it is true that you must act now; not in the past. You must clear your past from your mind. You cannot act in the future because it is not here yet. You must act in the now. Don't give your creative impulse to the original substance (God, the universe, etc.) and then sit on the couch and eat a bag of chips. If you do, you will never get what it is that you desire.

There is never any time but now and there will never be any time but now. Don't dwell on what you did or didn't do yesterday. Do what you need to do today...now! When you act in your present environment, you cause yourself to be transferred to a better environment. Don't waist your time in daydreaming or building castles in the sand, hold on the the one vision of what you want and act NOW.

You must also be efficient in your action. You can only make gains by being larger than your present place. And, no one is larger than his/her present place who leaves undone any of the work relating to that place. In other words, be efficient in all that you do today. Women are notorious for being able to multi-task. This is a wonderful
