Season 2 - Day 65 - Farewell 2008

In the coming hours the clock will strike midnight in my time zone and another year will have come and gone. Much has been written about 2008 and in the coming years, I'm sure some historian will further write about its impact upon mankind. It would be an understatement to suggest that this year was full of up's and down's. Many people were certainly caught off guard by the global meltdown and the looming financial situation. Much like the game "musical chairs" the fortunate have managed to find a seat while the music stops.

However, I often wonder how much longer can the game continue? At what point do the chairs run out? 2008 has not looked kindly upon some, yet for others it has been a life transforming year. Be it luck or something else I fall into the latter camp that has managed to emerge from this year both mentally and physically stronger. I am very thankful for what this year bestowed upon me, and the feeling of gratitude washes over me like a wave of energy. My business has grown and expanded in ways I never thought, I've recorded a pilot for an upcoming show, and so much more exciting things have manifested in my life.

During the past six months as a Law of Attraction practitioner I've experienced joy's and wonders on a scale that I never knew existed. My life has changed for the better this year and I would be remiss if I did not take a brief moment to list the achievements that The Universe manifested for me.

• I started an online business
• My company attracted over 70 new clients (more than the previous 3 years combined)
• I taught a workshop of 19 students
• I run a monthly meet up with 43 members
• I found gold
• I started three successful blogs
• I have over 220 posts on my blogs
• Tens of thousands of people have visited my sites this year
• I finished a year long renovation project on my house
• My business has earned more money than ever before
• I filmed a pilot for an upcoming show
• I am in the process of purchasing a luxury car
• I went on an amazing vacation
• I donated original one of kind sketches to the National Arboretum in Washington DC
• Learned about The Law of Attraction
• Employed a friend that needed a job
• My blog has saved potential scam victims over $20,000
• I'm currently planning a huge birthday bash for 2009
• I've developed stronger friendships with those closest to me
• Performed live with talented musicians at various times
• Self esteem and confidence has increased drastically
• Achieved sales goals throughout the year

All this and so much more has occurred for me in 2008. I am grateful to have lived this year, and I know that 2009 will bring even more prosperity. I've decided to make this coming year my most productive year to date; as I am eagerly awaiting whatever may come my way.

Season 2 - Day 62

On this final weekend of 2008 must say farewell to the NFL regular season. It seems like last week opening kick off commenced, now after 16 fantastic weeks its all but a memory. As I reflect on these moments, I am drawn to how unpredictable life can be. At any time situations, people, and events can change on a dime.

Before the football season started, the mantra from the NFL was "Live in the Now." When I first heard that slogan I thought it was appropriate for me as a practitioner of The LOA. Focusing on the now directs one's thoughts and energy to become present with what is happening now and not the past. No matter what has happened in the past, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Instead of wasting time focusing on negative past events, accept life for what it is and move on. By moving forward, we are able to see and meet new challenges head on, instead of being sideswiped.

During the week leading up to a big NFL game, the players and coaches prepare for their next opponent by studying their tactics. In life we can achieve success and manifest goals by preparing for what may come next. Additionally, in order to maintain victory or mastery of the goal at hand, one must dissect the desired goal and formulate a game plan to cut straight through
task to absolute victory. Even if success or victory may not come instantly, persistence and integrity will lead to manifestations which may lead to achieving the desired results.

This afternoon I took the final step in completing a six month long business project. I started in late July and will wrap up tomorrow evening. The renovation project has expanded my business and will bring in more money than ever. I am truly grateful and feel extremely blessed to have had an extremely productive 2008. While fears of global recessions and dire economic conditions have affected many, I can honestly say that my business has managed to expand and will continue to lead the charge into next year.

With day 62 in the books, and the year all but over I must humbly give my gratitude to The Universe for bestowing me with the opportunity to make others happy. I love the feeling of knowing that I am making a difference in the overall prosperity of other people, by instilling self-confidence and happiness everyday. Never before have I felt so connected to my clients, friends, family, and to myself. The personal growth that I have experienced within me is expanding daily, and I enjoy knowing that next year will be even more prosperious than ever. I am thrilled with the prospect of living life to its fullest in changing times.

Season 2 - Day 61

This week was amazing. On Christmas day I found out that another client has been attracted to my business. I am so thankful for the opportunity to service people from all over the world. In addition I am in the process of allowing more ideal clients to purchase goods and services from me. As December winds down, I am actively pursuing more sales and finishing this year off strong.

With less than a week left in 2008, this year has been the most productive and lucrative for my company. I am grateful for the record sales and clients that The Universe has brought. I have decided to create new marketing materials and products to my companies portfolio. In addition I have begun to formulate a new definitive plan for attracting even more sales in 2009. I am in the process of putting that plan into action today, and will strive more than ever to manifest my sales goals and desires.

It has been fun documenting my successes and thoughts for the past six months. I have learned alot about The Law of Attraction, what I can achieve, and how to create even more successes. I have grown to realize that life is truly what we make of it. Therefore I will stay busy working towards my goals instead of letting procrastination set in. My goals for next year are the most ambitious I've ever had. I will own a 3,000 square foot house, I will drive a Porsche, I will celebrate my birthday in a foreign country, and my business will make more money than at any other time.

For now I feel humbled to have spent the holidays with my closest friends and family members. I enjoy knowing that people need and can depend on me no matter what time day or night. I have worked very hard to maintain professional and personal relationships this year and it's nice to feel needed. Deep down I know that everything I desire to continue my extra ordinary life is within reach. I have been blessed with intelligence, integrity, diligence, and a strong work ethic. I am at my best when combining these attributes, so I will continue to develop these skills. My life is fruitful and I am looking forward to living it more and more.

Persistence

Napolean Hill once wrote that persistence is an essential factor in the procedure of transmuting desire into its monetary equivalent. Like all states of mind, persistence is based upon definite causes, among them these:

• DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE. Knowing what one wants is the first, and perhaps, the most important step toward the development of persistence. A strong motive forces one to surmount many difficulties.
• DESIRE. It is comparatively easy to acquire and to maintain persistence in pursuing the object of intense desire.
• SELF-RELIANCE. Belief in one's ability to carry out a plan encourages one to follow the plan through with persistence.
• DEFINITENESS OF PLANS. Organized plans, even though they may be weak and entirely impractical, encourage persistence.
• ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE. Knowing that one's plans are sound, based upon experience or observation, encourages persistence; "guessing" instead of "knowing" destroys persistence.
• CO-OPERATION. Sympathy, understanding and harmonious cooperation with others tend to develop persistence.
• WILL-POWER. The habit of concentrating one's thoughts upon the building of plans for the attainment of a definite purpose, leads to persistence.
• HABIT. Persistence is the direct result of habit. The mind absorbs and becomes part of the daily experiences upon which it feeds. Fear, the worst of all enemies, can be effectively cured by forced repetition of acts of courage. Everyone who has seen active service in war knows this.

Before leaving the subject of persistence, take inventory of yourself, and in what particular, if any you are lacking in this essential quality. Measure yourself courageously, point by point, and see how many of the eight factors of persistence you lack. The analysis may lead to discoveries that will give you a new grip on yourself.

Season 2 - Day 57

The past week has been full of hard work and celebrations. I hired a friend of mine who has been out of work for a while to make repairs on my house. We installed new doors, painted ceilings, installed new casings, and uprooted trees. Time was a serious factor due to an office christmas party at my house last night.

Between the two of us working 10 hour days, we managed to finish with thirty minutes to spare. In fact I had enough time to clean up and heat appetizers just as guests were arriving. I am so thankful for having the money to hire a good friend, which allowed him the ability to purchase christmas gifts for his family. In return for his fine craftsmanship my house looks better than ever before, as a keystone has been placed on a full year of renovations.

While 2008 may have been challenging at times, it has been full of opportunity. I've gained more clients this year than ever before, and feel great about attracting even more clients in 2009. I also that I've grown alot this year in terms of leadership, decisiveness, and integrity. In addition I came to the realization that the Law of Attraction does work, and is in fact always at work in my life. I accept this and know that The Universe is already working to bring me what I truly desire.

On day 57 I find myself excited about the future. I can physically view the tangible results from my hard work. In addition I can see that my life has meaning and that many people depend on me. I have decided to finish this week and the remainder of the year on a strong positive note. I can feel increased financial independence being bestowed upon me. Furthermore, I am in the process of attracting more clients before January. More and more I can feel and see myself achieving this goal.
