Gratitude For The Malolo Island Bula Band On YouTube
In January 2008, Fiji-time was ingrained into my lifestyle for 2 weeks. My wife and 2 sons came with me to Fiji for the 3rd time since late 2004. That was where it all started for me. I’m referring to my turnaround in thinking and my “demise” of financial worries. Fiji was where I went to my first wealth creation seminar and made tremendous breakthroughs as a human being. A “Lifechanging Event” is what I labeled it as. The turning point that literally catapulted my mindset into territory categorized (by the cynics & skeptics) as impossible or “Too Good To Be True”.
I’ve Always Viewed Cynics With Healthy Skepticism!
Pardon the pun. I guess I would never have been any good in the military. I was never a conformer. The phrase “Court-marshal for disobedience” comes to mind. I don’t know, maybe I would have broken to the system. My lack of dogma, my refusal to take someone else’s word for it, made me try time and time again. I failed over and over. Eventually, I hit pay dirt. It took 37 years and it was right in front of me all along. I was blinded by its presence. It’s all in the mind!
YouTube Message of Gratitude From Malolo Island, Fiji
I filmed this video for you on Malolo Island In Fiji. Watch and hear one of my goals that I set in October 2004 whilst at that very wealth seminar that turned it around for me. It is my absolute utmost feeling of gratitude that makes my world go around. Discover that feeling and you have indeed found the Feeling Of Success.
For 2008, my promise and commitment to you is this:
- The Promise: To deliver 3 videos like this on SeanRasmussen.com in 2008. One from each of 3 continents of the world. Tough assignment, I know! But someone has to do it…
- Motivation: To share my motivation and insights with you. Hopefully, it rubs off. Maybe you can give me some in return. It’s called Universal Law.
- Abundance: To show more abundance and gratitude in 2008 than I have in the previous 40 years of my life.
- Charity: To donate more to charity than I have ever dreamt of (prior to acquiring an abundant mindset)
Abundance: When Others Zig, I Zag
Whilst in Fiji, I noticed the abundance of happiness amongst the natives. The stress levels seem very low. Yet the lack of money is very apparent. It appears to be the other way around in many countries.
So why do so many people live an average life, while so few have an abundant life? Could it be that the decisions of the “majority” is the recipe for an average life? I’ve changed my thinking to that of the “Minority”. Because it’s the very few that think abundant that have outstanding results, hence they have abundance in their lives.
My results are rolling in now and I have enough to give away to the ones that need more. I learned to Zig when others Zagged. I started to travel the road less travelled. The road to success. And the road to success lies within.
The Malolo Island Bula Band – World First On YouTube
Have a look at this. Meet my friends from Malolo Island: Iliesa on lead guitar, Tevita on drums and Viliame on rhythm guitar. They are The Malolo Island Bula Band playing “Stuck On You” by Lionel Ritchie.
These guys know success. To them it is not monetary. Many Fijians work for the cost of a few cocktails in a 5 star resort, every day. Yet they are happy! They have abundance. Fijians can teach us many things about happiness. Stress is literally unknown to them.
These guys are as honest as the day is long. Bless them all. I filmed them and am sending DVD’s back to the Malolo village so they can all watch The Malolo Island Bula Band in action. There’s more to come. I’m very grateful for meeting them. They are excited to be on YouTube. Some things that others take for granted are a gift from heaven to others.
Sota tale (Fijian for: See you soon). Bula!

I’m with you all the way Sean. I’ve gone away from 21st century Sept. 2007 and done Platinum Pursuits. It was there that I met a man who has now introduced me to a wonderful team of people who have HEALTH and WEALTH as two of their driving forces, working for the company ‘Mannatech’. I’m networking, learning new things about myself, enjoying the challenge and making my dreams come true. I’ve started two trusts with my husband, have bought our first rental property, now have trading accounts open over a no. of platforms for cfds and options, have created a new business with business cards and a website, started practising the law of attraction and simply having a good time whilst appreciating everything I’ve got and have to come. I’m pleased to report that like you I have made many goals for 2008 and am looking forward to achieving them, so best of luck with yours and I hope to meet you some time soon.

Well done Petra. Setting goals is good. Reviewing them every day is a must. The important part is not necessarily to action them every day as to simply think of them every day. Reminding yourself of the path you are on will keep you on track. Stay motivated and you will be inspired to grow fast. The Fijians on Mololo Island helped boost my motivation to a whole new level.

Hi Sean, thanks for posting the Malolo Island Bula Band. I enjoyed their rendition of “Stuck On You!” I can see how they would motivate you with their perspective of abundance. I spent a year living in Bali a long time ago and the Balinese people are the same as you describe the Fijians. Their perspective certainly is different to ours is as we live in such a progressive society, and yet, they are happy people with little stress!
I look forward to your videos from your intended travels. What a great lifestyle… and yes… someone has to do it
Cheers

Thanks Ange. I filmed the Malolo Island Bula Band for hours over 3 days. I have many clips with them. I have a great version of “Country Road” with John Denver. The band didn’t actually have a name. I asked them and they made one up. The first was: “The Malolo Island Coconut Tree Band” because they were playing under a coconut tree.

I wish I could overcome my fear of failure, I just don’t believe in my ability to take in knowledge and apply it.Any suggestions?

Hi Margaret
Confidence comes with results, so it’s a catch 22 situation. One of my mentors once said: “Fake It Until You Make It”. Basically, what he meant is to keep telling yourself you can do it. Take on smaller, easier tasks to build up your confidence, then take on slightly bigger tasks until you have the confidence to achieve the big ones.
