i was going through random notes i had written down through the years to file which ones to keep and which ones to trash. and i came upon this note that was written back in 2002. the headline i wrote was “Project Soul : [RTS] : Back To Basics”. basics to living life. basics to who we really are. the basics. the essentials. a reminder. this is what was written on the one page:
i am a SPIRIT.
everyone is created equally.
-we all have equal potential
-we are all as good, beautiful as the next person
-no one is “better” than the other
GOD loves us no matter what.
there is NO limitation or lack in the spirit.
-only limitation, lack that exist is because we created it with our own minds or simply because we limit ourselves, but there really is no limit or lack.
our paradigm/condition can either hold us back or move us forward.
our attitude/perception to a great extent has a lot to do with the way we experience life and the way we treat people AND vice versa.
we are/were all created in GOD’s own image.
we have infinite (creative) power within us.
wisdom/knowledge/awareness is the only problem we all ever face.
knowing who GOD is AND knowing who you are IS the key to self-esteem and self-confidence.
we become what we think and feel about.
you are a CO-CREATOR.
EVERYTHING operates by LAW.
there is no one like you, so stop trying to fit in or be like everyone else. break the mold. stand out to fit in. cut yourself out of the line of paperdolls.
you cannot be happy outside or with others IF you are not happy inside or with yourself first. your inside experience determines your outside experience.

your mind has a certain perception of what level of success you should have, and whether you like it or not, your mind will constantly play games with you to keep you at the level of success it thinks you should achieve.
this is one of the freakiest, hard to deal with barriers that you will ever encounter.
to truly transform and experience “deep identity level change”, you will have to fight and force and continually manage it the entire way through.
one of the biggest games your mind will play is making you remember and focus mostly on the events in your life it thinks are in alignment with the level of success that you are accustomed to – therefore allowing itself to be lazy and avoid working through the complexities of adjusting to a new set of beliefs.
so for example, if you do not think that you would be able to easily figure out the complexities of gaining massive success, your mind will literally screen out and forget all the good things you have done – in order that you do not get any “big ideas” about what you are really capable of, and submerge yourself into a new reality that would be taxing for your mind to have to think through.
your mind’s agenda is different than your own.
of course, it is fundamentally important that you force your mind to continually refocus on the positive that has happened (even if it is just ONE INCH of progress) – which can be done by journaling daily, talking about the good things that happened with friends who are supportive, or just regularly taking stock of how far you have come.
whatever it is, you have got to focus on that. no matter how small it might appear.
once your mind is conditioned to do this on its own then you have reached your goal and it is no longer something you have to do consciously – although if you find yourself falling back into old patterns, you will have to bring back the fundamentals and readjust.
you might say: “Why can’t I just look at my successes and failures realistically and focus on them with equal weight?”
but without a focus on the positive you really have nothing to build on.
you are not trying to be a scientist here.
you have got to force your mind to register it’s “OK” to take on a new set of foreign behaviours (even if they are in severe in conflict with your social conditioning), and to trust in a fresh set of bearings for a positive response.
by doing this, you scramble your mind’s attempts to self-sabotage you, and then you rewind and reground yourself at a later point once you have got the new reality locked down.
i get to have conversations with a lot of people about life (and more so in coaching sessions), particularly where their dreams/desires and money are concerned. and usually the case is that they are betwixt between pursuing their desires versus the “responsibility” of making money (for the future, etc). i always tell them to follow their bliss. creating wealth has NOTHING to do with the job or career you are in (the hat one wears is not the factor of creating and attracting wealth). i am oversimplifying this, of course. but the essence of wealth is so far off into the left field for most people.
years ago, Scrully Blotnick conducted a study of 1500 people. they were put into two categories: Category A said they would pursure money first and do what they really wanted to do later. over 1245 people went into that group. Category B, made up of 255 people, said they would seek their interests first, and trust that money would follow later.
what happened?
twenty years later, there were 101 millionaires from the entire group. only one came from group A. the remaining 100 millionaires all came from group B, the group that said they would pursue their passions first and let money come later. right there is another clue on how to attract money.
where is your focus — on money or passion?
a recent edition of Time Magazine covered the ongoing debate between Christians regarding whether it is “God’s will” for you to prosper or be impoverished.
with Your Best Life Now by Pentecostal minister Joel Olsteen topping the charts at over 4 million copies, many fundamental Christians are up in arms. Olsteen states that “God wants you to prosper in all areas of life” while some evangelicals like the bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life, fellow mega-pastor Rick Warren, finds the very basis of prosperity “laughable”. “This idea that God wants everyone to be wealthy?” says Warren. “There is a word for that: baloney.”
so, with each side of the house throwing philosophical and biblical rocks at each other, the question for us to ponder is: “which is right?”
the answer: both.
understanding the fundamentals of consciousness, as well as the spiritual laws, God wants whatever you want. HE is the one who placed those “desires” in you.
no more, no less.
“You got to learn that if the church needs a sound system, we need to pray…not for a sound system, pray that when you get the money, you buy the right one. But I mean if you need something, go to work and get it! I mean that’s how we do it and then when you’re in that process, then God can bring miracles around that.”

“Opportunities that come your way may very well be the things that God will use to bless you thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold. In fact, it could be the one that blesses you off all thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold all together.”
-TD Jakes
