Chapter 3 FAITH

Ch. 3 - Faith

Could ANYONE say the same thing in any more
countless ways than Dr. Hill does???

I AM exactly what MY dominant thoughts have
created me to BE. And the good news is that
IF I don't like that result, I CAN change it by
changing what MY dominant thoughts are right
now...and every moment hereafter.

If I do not have the gumption to write my self-talk
and say it out loud as well as silently all day,
every day...then, I have no excuses...no amount
of whining about my past or my present situation
is going to do squat to improve my situation.

But taking the bull by the horns and doing my
self-talk with "green diligence"...no matter what
color personality you are...that's the only way
to get it done. If I am going to control my
wandering thoughts instead of letting them
control me...it's going to take some massive
effort on my part. Now how tough is it to know
that it can be done that simply?

That may in fact be 95% of the problem...it's
just too simple. We think if we're this "messed
up", then the solution to the problem is obviously
complicated. It's not. But my self-discipline has
to kick in and stay kicked in for the duration...
that's how I've come to believe every single thing
that I believe today. I was just doing it
"on automatic". That means I've allowed myself,
thru neglect, to accept other people's programming.
But now, things are different...now that I'm a
critical thinker, I DECIDE how to think and
therefore...what to think!

When my subconscious is "soaked up" with
the self-talk that I HAVE CHOSEN to program
my Self with...well...it won't feel like I'm in
"Kansas" anymore! And this being my 3rd trip
thru the Mental Cleanse...(if you can do it in
30 days...CELEBRATE!)...the changes in my
thoughts and my ongoing mind-set are evident.
The gradual change slips in and when you stop
to take a look...what a nice surprise!

Another thing that really popped out at me in
this chapter was in the US Steel Corporation
story...which I usually find somewhat boring.
This time through it...two things...
first...the "giving before you try to get" - the two
men who hosted Mr. Schwab at a dinner in
his honor where the rest of the story unfolded...
"their hearts were full of gratitude for the lavish
hospitality bestowed on them by Charles Schwab
during a recent visit to Pittsburgh, so they
arranged the dinner to introduce him to
eastern banking society." I think that may
be an excellent example of the Universal Law
of Reciprocity.

Second...and this seriously reminded me of
some of Uncle D's comments to us on more
than one occasion...did you notice when
Charlie Schwab verbally grabbed his listeners
by the back of their collar and jerked their
thinking from their "lack mentality" and
adjusted them to "abundance thinking". How
many times has Michael (Uncle D) reminded
us that there is enough to go around for
everybody. When I think 'lack'...that's
what I get! When I think 'abundance'...
amazing...the ebook downloads start to
come in ever-increasing numbers, people
start calling me, more people want to get
involved with my business...and on and on.

Does it come automatically??? NO!!! I've
lived with 'lack thinking' for many years...my
self-talk has to happen non-stop to keep my
thinking on the "abundance" side of the scale.
Being on the MFF calls is part of that
reprogramming process!

I can't say that I remember feeling that jolt
when I've read this in the past! Mr. Schwab
told them that their "shortsightedness lay
in the fact that it restricted the market in
an era when everything cried for expansion".
So, I ask myself...are my daily activities
reaching out for expansion...or clutching
what I have now - close, so I don't lose it?

Reaching out to gather abundance feels
much different than clutching what little
I have now closely so it doesn't get away.

I CHOOSE reaching out for abundance.
And right under our noses is the perfect
proven system of Mentoring For Free
and untold numbers of leaders willing to
reach out to guide and direct our every
action IF we choose to ask for help and
follow the recipe! And there's abundance
enough for all of us! 155,000 people per
week looking for or signing up for a home
based business in this world...and we
know they're not all getting into 5 Pillar
companies. Now that's abundance
enough for us all.

Thank You Michael and Linda for all You
do to make these life-changing lessons
become reality for each of us...in whatever
time frame WE CHOOSE to take to connect
with the Abundance that is waiting.

Friends Always,
Patti Blevins
