Good Vibrations          

Mick Moore

Have you ever read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill or The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles? Both of these books carry a similar theme:

help someone to reach his or her success and yours is sure to follow.

Two of my favorite quotes are: “Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying” and “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve”. Both quotes, for me, are the cornerstones for creating wealth and I would eventually come to realize their long term value.

So let me ask you a simple question, “What does creating wealth mean to you?”

Here are a few of my answers when I was asked this very question! (This is what I believed at the time anyway!)

1 - A consistent income created from an honest days work

2 - A healthy and happy family

3 - A loving wife

4 - A nice car

5 - A beautiful home

6 – A sleek 36’ sailboat

There are a few other things, but they are either directly or indirectly related to what I have listed above. Even now, when I look at this list, I seemed to have “hit the nail on the head.”

Within three years, I had accumulated all of the above; although the boat ended up being 27’ instead of the 36’ I had been envisioned. Notice, I used the word “accumulated.” That’s because after reaching what I thought I had dreamed of, it all slowly began to fall apart.

Where was I going wrong?

What was I doing wrong?

Whose fault was it?

Why now when we seemed so successful?

A plethora of questions passed through my mind and I began to blame myself. I found myself making bad decisions. I had become comfortable and bored.

I had begun a slow and personal downward spiral that took away my belief, my self-confidence, my motivation and my focus. The thing that really hurts when I think back is that, I just didn’t care anymore. I began to think that the world owed me. I was a good person so I should be rewarded.

Thankfully, I realized that my way of thinking had gotten in the way. I was no longer creating wealth; I was striving for success and my thoughts had become clouded.

I want to share a situation my mother, Paulette, found herself in only a month prior to the writing of this chapter and how thoughts, when left unchecked, can wreak havoc on our abundance.

She received a call from a collection agency and, upon returning the call, found the company she had been using for Internet service wanted their modem back and had turned her over to a collection agency regarding the matter. She floundered around on the edge of anger but, mostly, was just scared.

She was worried about hurting her pristine credit rating!

Then her debit card was declined while trying to make a purchase online. Her account had been flagged for some reason and the banks response was that her pin hadn't been activated and by simply using any ATM, the card should be fine.

This was strange because she had been using the card for several months and hadn’t had any problems.

The last straw was when she couldn't open a file a client had sent and therefore was unable to complete a small job for the client. All of these factors kicked in a fear response: bad credit, identity theft, and failure as an editor.

Keep in mind; this all had occurred in the span of one day.

Then, she had an epiphany!

Her sudden realization was that we all vibrate at a certain frequency - this is nothing new - and that when we become upset, the rate of vibration changes and we start a downward cycle. If we can keep ourselves stabilized, then we needn't go into that cycle and slide backwards in our acceptance ratio. We create our own reality, therefore, we are the master of our fate; our fate being the manifestation of our daily lives.

We love being up and being happy and we all want to live our lives so that we remain at that level rather than in the dumps or the doldrums. Right thinking works and it is the building blocks for creating wealth!

The results: 

The next day, she received a call from the cable company. Her account was just fine. They found that she had paid for the modem but if she wanted to return it they would refund her $90! She hadn't been turned over to a collection agency but rather to a department within the cable company and the flag had been removed.

The ATM accepted her card and she drew out enough money to pay Jesus and put a little in her wallet. By Jesus, I mean the migrant worker that helps my folks maintain their estate and avocado grove.

She had already decided it might not be a good thing to work with the client on the book the client was creating and her inability to open the file was her 'guidance' to that end. The thought of being a failure as an editor was moot. We have an outstanding guidance system and need only listen, even if we need a kick in the butt first!

Well that’s the past and here we are today!

I have found that the secret to “Creating Wealth” has been available to each and every one of us since birth. It is the thoughts we think and the actions we take.

Here are seven steps I have laid out to help you begin creating wealth:

1- Gather all the knowledge, skills and opportunities you need to accomplish the goal you have set for yourself and apply this study without procrastination. This alone will raise the odds of success in your favor.

2- Be sure you take whatever you want from life, no matter how hard and difficult it is. Just do everything possible to increase the probabilities of getting it, no matter how big or how small. What you do will make a difference in success or failure in getting what you want.

3- Organize and set in motion a plan for your life, a plan you will follow to raise the probabilities of creating your wealth. State your goals and how you will accomplish them, what are the events, tools and people you will require in creating your wealth. Don’t leave anything to circumstance. You are the one who controls the outcome.

4- Follow the steps of successful people, do what they have done to achieve the same results.

5- Work from a position of passion rather than one of obsession and choose a career you are passionate about, one that suits your abilities, skills and your natural talents.

6- Leverage the talents of others. Don’t do tasks beyond your abilities hoping for better results.  Concentrate on your strengths and the strength of others to accomplish your goals.

7- Have an attitude of gratitude. Give thanks for what you already have instead of concentrating on what you don’t have. So many people have little hope of accomplishing even the simplest of dreams and entertain thoughts of lack rather than abundance.

Your gratitude only widens your acceptance and brings you into harmony with the divine and the vibration of - Wealth.

My ancestors held ceremonies thanking the Great Spirit for the sun, the rain and the return of the Buffalo every spring. Their wealth was measured by the quality of life of everyone in the tribe. People today barely make time to thank the waitress for bringing them coffee or water.

In the end, your life is the results of your efforts over a period of time and your reward is the results from your work. Creating wealth starts with a clear vision and a strong belief in the outcome. Our thoughts are powerful and holding on to negative beliefs only hinders our progress.

Stay in that higher vibration of happiness, gratitude and abundance. You’ll be amazed at your accomplishments and the people you will attract to help you create REAL wealth.
