“The psychologist Frederick Herzberg called money a “hygiene factor.” It is a motivator up to a certain point, after which it subsides in importance.
This means that you need a minimum amount of money to feel secure. If you have less than you need, you will think about money all the time. If you have more than you need, you will be able to relax and think of other things that are more important to you.
Wealthy people will tell you that money is only a way of keeping score. Once you achieve a certain level, you are aware of it, but you stop thinking about it all the time. You view money more as a measure of how well you are doing.
When you have enough, you then start to think more about your health, your relationships, and making a difference in your work life. You spend more time with your family. At a certain level, money is no longer your main concern. Your whole life improves when you reach this point.
But below a certain point, you think of nothing else. You get up in the morning and think about money. You talk about money at breakfast and you worry about money all day long. Your money concerns affect your relationships and have an impact on all your choices, including what you eat for lunch. This is no way to live.” – Brian Tracy
Leave it to Brian Tracy to write something this level-headed and cool about having moolah...

Your Conscious Awareness Is A Mere Footprint? Yup...
“Please look at your foot right now…If you look at your foot on the floor you see the tiny amount of the total floor surface that it covers. Imagine that your Conscious Mind can see ONLY what is directly under your feet. This is the “online” information that you have access to consciously.
Now, please look around at THE REST OF YOUR FLOOR – which is representing the REST of your mind and brain resources beyond just that bit of floor that your foot covered. The rest of the floor represents all of the information within you; all of the “offline” information…
You can’t do enough of this simple perception. You simply cannot appreciate fully enough what is at stake here; just what an astounding WEALTH of resources we all have here, and have been ignoring.”
– Paul Scheele of Learning Strategies Corporation in his Genius Code Course with Win Wenger
What we are aware of, what we think are the “Facts” of Reality around us; even the “Facts” we believe are limiting us – Is all just the tiny scope of our “radar screen”, while Reality stretches for another 100 feet all around our screen of awareness so to speak...
What we CAN see normally is just a footprint’s worth of What Is. Our subconscious processes incredibly much more than that: we should move towards tapping into that. And Reality itself is unfathomably MORE than what we perceive and so stridently cling to and declare “that's all there is to it.”
Peace and VICTORY...

The Great Morpheus Monologue: What is The Matrix?
Morpheus: “I imagine, that right now you’re feeling a bit like Alice – tumbling down the rabbit hole, hmm?”
Neo: “You could say that.”
Morpheus: “I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he’s expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth… Do you believe in fate, Neo?”
Neo: “No.”
Morpheus: “Why not?”
Neo: “Because I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life.”
Morpheus: “I know exactly what you mean… Let me tell you why you’re here… You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain. But you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there; like a splinter in your mind; driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me… Do you know what I’m talking about?”
Neo: “…The Matrix?”
Morpheus: “Do you want to know What It Is?”
(Neo nods)
Morpheus: “The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window; or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work…when you go to church…when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.”
Neo: “What truth?”
Morpheus: “…That you are a slave Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage; born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison, for your mind… Unfortunately, no one can be, told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
(Morpheus takes out the two pills, one in each fist)
Morpheus: “This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back.” (He opens his left palm before Neo…) “You take the blue pill: The story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.” (He opens his right palm before Neo…) “You take the red pill: You stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes…”
(Neo reaches for the red pill, but just before he takes it…)
Morpheus: “Remember: All I’m offering is The Truth – nothing more…”
– From the movie The Matrix
Hope you liked this super-quote, one of the best monologues in movie script history in my non-humble opinion. Thought-provoking when re-applied to what we all can see and experience in "real life"...

An Easy Way To Attain Your Desires...
An Easy Way To Attain Your Desires
by Song Chengxiang

-----------------------------------
There is a hard way to get what you want, and there is an
easy way. Which one do you choose? The answer is obvious,
everybody wants the easy way, but most people are not even
aware of the existence of the easy way.
Most of us have been told, since the moment we were born,
that in order to succeed in life, we have to work hard and
struggle. It has been said "no pain, no gain". For most
people, life is just a long series of struggles.
If that is what you are feeling, I have good news for you!
There is an easy way, which will lead to your ultimate
destiny in the most stress free manner.
Listen carefully, because this is going to determine
whether your life is fulfilling, happy and stress free,
leading to a high quality of life.
Here is the ultimate secret of the universe: "Change the
way you look at things, and the things you look at will
change."
Pay special attention to these words. Really think about
what they mean.
Yes, I hear what you are saying. You have heard it a
million times. Everybody knows it. If this is what you are
thinking, I must warn you not to take these words lightly.
I can tell you 90% of people read these words, and don't
understand what they truly mean. You can tell by simply
watching their lives. If you are not living a happy,
fulfilled life RIGHT NOW, I can tell you, "You are not
truly understanding these words”. Then let's get down to a
deep understanding of this golden rule of success.
As I have discussed in my earlier articles, we are living
in a material world, which is made up of molecules, which
are made up of atoms, which in turn are made up of
subatomic particles. We have also discussed that these
subatomic particles act at our commands, they come into
existence only when we observe them.
Let's see what scientists say about these amazing building
blocks of this world. The subatomic particle is a kind of
wave packet, which can be in the state of wave and particle
simultaneously. We describe a particle by its location, and
we describe a wave by its momentum. However, the subatomic
particle can exist as a particle and a wave at the same
time. This sounds very counterintuitive, but it is true.
Either the subatomic particle becomes a particle or it
becomes a wave, it depends on how you measure it. If you
decide to measure it by its location, it instantly becomes
a particle, if you decide to measure it by its momentum, it
instantly becomes a wave. It all depends on how we measure
(or how we observe) it.
Deepak Chopra in his new book, "Spontaneous Fulfillment of
Desires", describes a thought experiment by Erwin
Schrödinger. Imagine you have a closed box that contains a
wave-particle, a cat, a lever, and a bowl of cat food with
a loose lid. If the wave-particle becomes a particle, the
particle will trip the lid, and the cat will eat. If the
wave-particle becomes a wave, the lid will remain on the
food. When we open the box (making an observation), we will
either see an empty bowl and a happy cat, or a full bowl
and a hungry cat. It all depends on how we observe. Before
we open the box, the bowl is both empty and full, and the
cat is both fed and hungry. Both possibilities exist at the
same time. Deepak says "It is the observation alone that
turns possibility into reality."
The whole point is that the basic building block of the
material world acts at our command. At the very moment of
our observation, it comes into existence. We are the
creator of our world. Nothing exists without our
observation.
How does that relate to manifesting your desires? Well, it
has everything to do with manifesting your desires. Why
does our life seem like a struggle? Why don’t we get the
money we want? Why don't we get the relationship that we
have always desired? Why is our life is filled with a long
list of never ending problems? All these are because of our
habitual way of observing the world. We have been
conditioned that what we are seeing is reality, and we
continue to live this way and continue to observe the same
things happen in our lives. Let me tell you, your reality
is not reality. Only you choose and observe it to be your
reality. As soon as you realize your own observation is the
cause of everything, then you can literally decide to
create another reality. You can decide to observe another
reality into your world, only when you choose to.
How do you do it? First, don't let your outer world delude
you, this is not necessarily the reality. Secondly, observe
exactly what you want in your mind, observe it with
certainty and clarity, and then let it go, knowing that you
have already created your desires at the quantum level. You
simply let the universe arrange for it to come to you. When
the opportunities come, don't forget to take action and
express your gratitude. Everything begins with your change
of the way you look at your world.
Remember "Change the way you look at things, and the things
you look at will change."

My Personal Tribute To Jim Rohn
December 5, 2009, Jim Rohn passed away. I learned of this yesterday December 7 - While, strangely, I had had it in mind for about a week now to post this series of videos here that had a strong impact on me when I first watched them... I delayed, and now, this post has added meaning in light of his death... So this is my version of a tribute to the great motivator, or should I say "inspirator", Mr. Jim Rohn, featuring some of his down-to-earth wisdom.
"How to have Your Best Year Ever": A great presentation to learn from and keep in mind as we all head out of one, let's call it "dramatic" year, and rush into another...
Highlight Quote #1: “Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”
Highlight Quote #2: “RESULTS is the name of the game.”
Highlight Quote #3: “Welcome all experiences. You never know which one is gonna turn everything on. Don’t put up the walls – the same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out happiness. Take down the walls; go for the experience; let it teach you.”
'Nuff said.
Peace and Victory

Optimism AND Pessimism (in their pure form) are BOTH wrong
As I see it: Optimism is highly overrated, AND pessimism is highly overused. Or as Albert Schweitzer put it: “An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red stoplight. The truly wise person is color-blind.”
To put it another way; this so-called color-blind person chooses to instead be ever-CAUTIOUS and pay close attention to reality and reason in everything as he moves forward... So he/she rarely gets broadsided running a red light as an Optimist, NOR stays stuck in the mud with the engine off like a Pessimist, cursing the red light he’s always seeing...
That's my take on it...
