Million Dollar Thoughts
I get a lot of emails. Preferably, people comment in the blog and everyone can benefit from the answer. My philosophies that are inspired heavily by Dr Demartini, Napoleon Hill, Kurek Ashley, Wallace Wattles and many more, do challenge a lot of people.
Why Isn’t This Working For Me?
Here is an example of an email I got from a lady last week: (she will remain nameless)
“I wish I could have $1M this week! Funny hey! But it is true! That is what I wish and hope for so much for a specific reason. Now, come on, you know you can’t do that with nothing!!”
This is very true, indeed! Now, I would have loved to get that response in the “Comments Section” below the post. Not in my email. My blogs are here to help lots of people and the best way I can do that is to make them public.
Million Dollar Thoughts
This was my response:
“You are at a place in life that you have traveled to. Your destination is a direct result of your actions. You, and no one else, is to thank for that. Everything you have is a result of the way you think and the way you perceive life. If you want a Million dollars, you need to have Million dollar thoughts. They don’t just come overnight. They are a result of abundant thoughts, actions and later reality. Wealth breeds more wealthy thoughts and poverty breed poverized thoughts.
The fastest way to change anything is to change your thoughts.
So you are right. You can’t “do that with nothing”. You need to have the basis first and that is abundant thoughts followed by abundant action.”
Unfortunately, my email bounced and the lady didn’t receive it…
Confucius Say:
To quote old man Confucius (I’m sure it was him), there is an old Chinese saying that sums up the above paragraphs quite nicely:
If you want to see your past, look at your current results.
If you want to see you future, look at your current actions.
Think abundant thoughts and you will eventually have abundant actions.
Have a most outstanding day

This reminds me of a story told in TAGR. I wonder what Dr Frank Gunsaulus would have replied to the lady as he asked for exactly one million dollars and only gave himself a week to do so. He had a burning desire for that sum and that is exactly what he got after asking for it at his sermon. If you follow the principles it will all come together.
Thanks,
Clint

And that is the key: A Burning Desire! In other words, have a passion for what you want and you have inspired results.

So very true Sean. Perhaps the email bounced as the lady who wrote you wasn’t ready for this reply!
Thanks for sharing as I know there would be many more people like her out there reading your blog. I for one have eperienced the very same thing. Abundant thoughts produce more abundance and thoughts of poverty produce more poverty. Change your thoughts, change your life. Keep spreading the word Sean. You write inspiring posts. Thank You.

Thank you, Ange. We will keep doing our part and there will be bigger changes around the world, eventually.

Hi Sean,
I found you on Blog Catalog. Great site! We need more people like you spreading the lessons of prosperity.
When The Secret first came out, people came up to me and said, “This is going to change the world!” I tried not to burst their bubble but would tell them that as wonderful as The Secret is, these same lessons have been taught for centuries in many cultures and yet, everyone doesn’t buy into prosperity consciousness. It’s easier to blame someone else for your life rather than take responsibility, and that’s really what this is about- taking responsibility for everything that happens to you. And then you also have to take daily action to create the change you want.
The lessons of success are precious, and we need to spread this message to as many people as are willing to listen, and then be willing to work with them to overcome the limiting beliefs and actions that keep them from their dreams. But we will have to get the message to 300 so that 3 will hear it and take it to heart. The beauty of your site Sean, is that we CAN get 300 or 3,000 or 30,000 at a time to hear it. Those that understand and believe can then help us “Pay It Forward”.
Great work friend.

Thanks Skip. By all means, if the word can get out, let’s get people to each others sites. The people that want help can get it and the rest will weed themselves out (meant nicely)

Hi Sean,
Good advice.
We are all experiencing a new consciousness, but not all will take advantage of it. You of course have and I wish to thank you for the effort you make to share it with those who are ready to listen.
It has taken me 40 years to understand fully just what an abundant consciousness is and although I have always had ‘enough’ (money) and never gone without, that seems to be the place where I stay. Abundance comes to me in other ways and I’m unsure whether it’s fear of going further that stops me or I’m just lazy… There will be a situation opening up for me soon that will bring quite a lot of money into my possession, this will be the turning point I feel, when I will be in a make or break situation….
We are all in this together and I believe we all find what we are looking for, we just have to be more aware of how we would like it to find us!!
I’ll leave you with this from the brilliant Eckhart Tolle and I quote -
“REMEMBER THAT YOUR PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. YOU ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM IT, AND THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE WORLD OUT THERE.
EVERY MOMENT, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS CREATES THE WORLD THAT YOU INHABIT.”
Happy Days

Hello, Kaye.
Eckhart Tolle. Now there’s someone to listen to! I love his talks about “Being In The Now”.
There is no past and there is no future. There only ever “NOW”. The past was “Now” and the future will be “Now”. Our entire life is just one long moment.

DREAMS + THOUGHTS + ACTION + GOD= NEW REALITY
Thanks Sean.
Cheers,
Roger

I agree with this principle in life. A new reality will not be enjoyed and be susttained without God in the equation.

@Ange: I agree with you, well, I agree with everyone’s comments here, but specifically I thought of the quote, “When the student is ready… the teacher will appear.” Obviously, this student, wasn’t ready. And, people wonder why things don’t go the way they want them to, or do they actually go exactly how they want them to. Hmm…
@Sean: Keep up the great posts! I reviewed this site over at BlogCatalog. I was a trainer for Anthony Robbins and though I don’t agree with his views on spirituality, specifically what he thinks a Christian is, I have continued to apply many of his principles and garnered tremendous results. Technically they are not his principles for as the great Solomon said, “There is nothing new under the sun”, however, he packaged them well and inserted his personality which obviously worked for him and millions of others.
Have an outstanding day!

Yes, as Kurek Ashley says in the 1 hour interview: “These ideas aren’t new! They are the same principles that have been around for ever.”
Thanks for the insight, “OutsideMyBrain”

Wow, what a great quote:
“If you want to see your past, look at your current results.
If you want to see you future, look at your current actions.”
Thanks for your inspiring thoughts.

It is one of my favorites.
