The First Step to Your abundance

The First Step to Your abundance 

 Know what you want and you CAN have it.

If I were to randomly go out on the streets and ask the first 100 people that I encountered what they really want in life, 99 of them would not be able to answer me. Because in this day and age most of our basic needs are met without much thought and effort, we have become mentally lazy. Thinking is the simplest thing one can do, yet it is not the easiest thing to do. If I were to conduct an experiment and ask people what they really want in life, the reason most of them would not know what they want is because most people aren’t willing to take the time to sit down, piece of paper on hand, and REALLY think about it. Yeah, many will say “more money” or “a nicer home”, but that is too general.
To really know what you want is to know the exact measure of your desire. If you say “I want more money” then the universe might respond to you by making you aware of a penny that has fallen out of someone’s pocket onto the street. If you say “I want a car,” the universe may respond by bringing you a broken down car that someone has no use for anymore. When you ask the universe for more, you need to hold a vivid and detailed picture in your mind of the thing you want. For example, instead of asking the universe for “a new car” you could restate your wish the following way: “I own a beautiful 2019 pearl white Cadillac Escalade.” As you state the words with your mouth you must also create the feeling within of already possessing the thing you want, and when you state your wishes, it is important that you do so in the present tense as this aids the process of impressing in your subconscious mind the feeling that what you wish for is already in your possession. Having a clear mental picture and stating the words with your mouth can speed up your manifestations. Use this technique with everything that you might desire. If you wish for health, picture yourself healthy and vibrant.
If you wish for love, picture yourself with your ideal partner, talk to them in your visualization, ask them questions, hear them tell you how much they love you and tell them how much you love them. This technique is very powerful and it must also be practiced on a consistent basis.

Write your wish in detail

The second step in this process is to write down your desires with the same exactitude and detail as you have put into your mental picture. Get out a sheet of paper and write down the things that you want in order of their importance to you. When you write down your wants, don’t be afraid of asking for too much; continue to add to your list as the days go by and feel free to change anything on it since your wishes may change with time. After you have completed your list, make sure you read it two to three times daily, preferably right before going to bed at night and right after waking up in the morning.
The reason for this is that it’s during these two times that your subconscious mind is closest in connection to its infinity source, making it more receptive to and easily impressed by your thoughts and words. If you want to speed up the process of imprinting your subconscious mind with your desires, it is also a good practice to write your wishes in small sticky notes and place them throughout your house. Put one on your mirror so that you can see it in the morning. Put one in your kitchen, inside your closet, on the side of your computer monitor, in the dashboard of your car, etc. I will also advise to invest on products and activities that reinforce your beliefs. Use websites like meetup.com to join groups of people in your local area that hold similar beliefs, invest and learn from programs that enable you to expand your knowledge and allow you to interact with communities of like-minded individuals, and invest in products that will help you keep your thoughts organized such as planners, journals, and other items.

Distress on a test

I was recently approached by a close friend of mine who was looking for advice. She was in a great deal of distress because she was about to take a very important assessment that would determine whether she would qualify to become a candidate for the nursing program that her school offered. She explained to me her concern and worry, as this test was based on an academic subject that she had struggled with her whole life.
She also explained that this was her second attempt at taking this test and that she had failed miserably at her first attempt; she basically had no room to fail again. My first suggestion was to release any type of fear and worry that she had towards taking this test. Fear and worry are very strong feelings that quickly sabotage any progress and can quickly imprint the subconscious mind.

I then advised her to write down five to ten times per day the score that she wished to receive in this test, as well as to fade into sleep with the feeling of accomplishment every night. A few days later my friend called me with excitement and announced the good news: she had passed the test with ease! She also stated that writing down her desired score played a big part in her success, as each time she wrote the number on paper gave it her the confidence that she needed in order to pass without difficulty. When you write down what you want enough times to create an imprint in your subconscious mind, you no longer hold the energy of a wish in your mind; you will have then transferred some of that energy into physical form, increasing the likelihood that it will happen. Keep things to yourself The last step of this very effective process is to keep your wishes to yourself. The more you talk about your wishes to other people, the more your mental energy will dissipate, thus delaying the manifestation of your wish or form of accomplishment. By talking about your desires you may also attract criticism from those who don’t believe in the possibility of manifesting your desires, and these people may discourage you in the process. I once met a man who had gotten a job that required a much longer daily commute than his previous one. He did not believe that his current vehicle could endure the daily driving for much longer than a couple of months, and so he wanted to replace it. After receiving my advice to write down his desire, he took the time to detail the exact make, model, color, year, and appearance of the new car that he wished to have. Another bit of important advice that I gave him was to take a few minutes every day to visualize himself in the new car, to see himself feeling the leather in the seats, smelling the new car smell and feeling the emotion of already owning such machine. While this prospective new car owner followed most of my advice as directed, he forgot about one thing: he neglected to keep quiet about it. He proceeded to tell everyone about his new wish and his plan for accomplishment. He told everyone he knew that in the near future he would be seen driving and enjoying such car, he even posted a picture of it on social media accounts and proceeded to state the same. A few weeks later his old car completely broke down, just as he had feared, and he was left in desperation to buy a car that did not completely align with the description of the one he wanted.

Surround Yourself with Good People

Surround Yourself with Good People 

 

“You are the average of the 5 people you hang out with” We all heard this before. In fact, this has become a cliché that people do not seem to value its importance anymore. But there’s a reason why it has become a cliché. Because it’s true.

If you want to be successful

If you want to be successful, and all your friends does every Friday night is party, then hanging out with them won’t help you achieve your goals. When I say “surround yourself with good people,” I don’t just mean good in a moral sense of the word. I mean good as in “I’m working on improving myself too” sense of the word. Find the right people and hang-out with them. Eventually, you’ll notice your own improvement just by hanging out with the right people, who also have the same goals as you.

It is hard

As hard as it is to do, you have to cut off some people in your lives. Cutting off people doesn’t mean you stop being friends with them. It only means that you have to spend less time and energy with them. It’s hard to be a successful basketball player if all your friends are alcoholic. It’s impossible to become a good employee if all your friends hate their jobs. Start making new friends that you know are going to make you better. Attend a seminar to meet some like-minded people, attend a boot camp to meet other people who wants to improve themselves. Go find where they hang out, make friends and keep lifting each other up.

Face Your Fears

Facing your fears may be nerve-racking. But it has so many benefits that your life will change just by facing each fear with an open mind. So many of us never face our fears because we’re afraid of failures. We justify it to ourselves by saying “If I never try, I’ll never fail at it,” but the truth is you already failed by not trying in the first place. You already failed because you didn’t become who you are supposed to be.

How do you face your fears?

You start with your smallest fears. You start with fears that doesn’t have a big impact in your life. Let’s say one of your fears is talking to a cashier (yes, this condition exists). Create a plan on how you can approach a cashier without being awkward. Maybe on your first attempt, you just give your order and then smile a little bit at the cashier. Then you go find another store… this time, you’ll then talk to the cashier (maybe ask for some item), then smile and say thank you. The point is to make it a process. Make the commitment small enough that you can do it easily. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

What are your fears?

Make a list and start facing the smallest one you know you can beat! This will help you get a much needed confidence boost.

Set a Small Target

The more you achieve, the more you build your self-confidence. That’s why I recommend starting out by setting small targets. I know that every guru you see nowadays always say “Think Big! The sky is the limit!” Setting small targets doesn’t mean you’re thinking small. It just means you’re thinking long-term. You’re thinking about improving along the process as your targets gets bigger and bigger. There’s nothing wrong with starting small. Remember the consistent small wins leads to long-term big wins. Success is only a combination of small things done consistently. Set small targets. These tiny successes will lead you to your breakthrough, thus giving you more confidence to go for the bigger fishes in the sea.
What is one small thing you can do every day that will directly lead you to your goal? Do it consistently and adjust to what works as you go along the process.


Internal conflict

Internal conflict 


I have been struggling with an internal conflict for many years. When I wanted to change something, I denied it right away. I blocked my feelings efficiently and I could not trust myself. I had lost myself in a jungle of unspoken words and feelings for many years. I was my harshest judge. I studied hard and persistently at school to be a straight-five [4] student. I performed my work duties diligently, as fast and as I could to satisfy my boss. I said what others wanted to hear controlled by fear so as not to displease anyone and not to be subject to being given the opinions of others. The word ‘opinion’ had very negative connotations to me. In one job where I worked for two years, we were given opinions at the end of the calendar year and in December the boss would talk to us about our achievements. I always felt bad during those conversations as if I had done something wrong and as if I had been about to be judged. I always had the impression of being at the end of the list. Even if I was good at something and I had the reason to be content, I pushed that aside not to be considered selfish or egoistic. I always found faults and shortcomings in myself instead of being happy with my little achievements which could rise into large achievements in the future but something held me back.

It was nothing.

Every time I was successful, I diminished it by saying that it was nothing. I often heard bad opinions about myself and I believed in them without questioning them. I wondered why others achieved what they wanted and I – while having dreamt of writing books for a long time – kept ending up in places which had little to do with my dreams. My internal conflict was deeply imprinted in me and it was so that my heart told me to write books and my mind protested saying: “What did you make up again? What experience do you have to write books and what do you want to convey in them, you are to go to a regular job like everybody else and who are you to have such dreams?” Furious thoughts kept being loud. Maybe in your head there are often wonderful views of a dream life, a relationship, a home, a satisfying job and in the other life – the real one – you live below your expectations, you work to pay bills, the loan interests for your kids to have a better life, you spend every day performing activities which ought to be performed and what about your dreams? The ones buried deep, ready to be discovered. Why do you keep defending yourself from happiness and escape into routine and monotony? Why do you lock yourself in relationships that do not agree with you? Do you agree to a job which you do not like? Why do you not try to pick up the gloves thrown on the ground before you and decide to show yourself to the world, your talents and individualities? Why is there so much uncertainty and the feeling that it is better to be in the shade and lead a proper, ‘normal’ life? Is it not better to be happy and fulfilled, to listen to the voice of your heart instead of constantly listening to the advice of your inner critic who behaves like a drunken gardener in the garden called the mind? Why are there so many contradictions in you?

We want one thing and we do something else.

By being afraid to leave our comfort zone, we remain in a gray reality, silencing the voice in our heart that tells us what to do so that it would be better. Most signs of individuality and expressing feelings were blocked and, for instance, you could not be angry because it was not proper but you could be sad. That is how a value system changes and every time when you are angry, you will change that emotion into fear and there will be an iceberg of emotions in you which you will not be able to decode. How to trust yourself when there are so many emotions hidden in us? If you were rejected by one parent or siblings in your childhood, you could have pushed related emotions into yourself in order not to feel more pain and you closed yourself off to some emotions forming an unseen circle which keeps suggesting that you must be cold to others in order not to feel pain or rejection. Internal conflicts are often unrecognized and they often block our expression and showing feelings. When I was in a toxic relationship, I had an internal conflict, too. I wanted a friendly, supporting relationship which would have given me a sense of safety but I only got a substitute of that. Daily fights about little, down-to-earth matters transformed themselves into an element which could not be defeated. Fear that I could not be myself and express myself naturally made its place in my heart. Prohibitions and commands began. Something which took my breath and private space away caused me to feel more and more trapped. I loved with my entire heart and I felt that it was not my place at the same time, for I wanted to be myself and I could not express what I felt. 

I slowly stopped being in touch with myself, my daily fight of thoughts kept finishing me off and kept taking away my energy to act and to do beautiful things, I lost myself in what was there while not wanting to be there at the same time. I thought that what my mind was telling me was the sacred truth and I believed in that voice, calling myself the worst names when I reflected on my life again. I felt sadness, craving a good marriage and looking at what had happened to it over the years. I could not come to terms with the thought that it was time to change that and not be stuck in a relationship which once seemed to be ‘forever’. I asked myself back then: “What will you do, how will you manage? How will you find yourself in a new life? Such questions frightened me so I wanted to silence them with a familiar voice of my inner critic. It hurt for a couple of days but then I was in my camouflaged world again which had its own rules but at least I knew how to prosper in it and I did not want wounds to hurt me more. I silenced my emotions for many years. 

A voice in my heart won

One day a voice in my heart won and I decided to bet everything on one card. I applied for a divorce. I did not know what would happen, I did not know the consequences of it but I made a decision for a better tomorrow and I stopped being afraid. You can trust this voice one hundred percent. Had I not convinced myself that I could start a better life, I would not be writing this book for you, I would not have gotten a divorce and I would have not quit a harmful job. If your heart tells you what to do, follow this path. It does not have to be the path that everyone follows. Find your own path and follow it. There are a million reasons to discover yourself and follow the path to where you want to be.

Summery

Do not criticize yourself. This inner voice is always unhappy and suggests negative thoughts. Doubt these negative thoughts and act contrary to them. Surely not to close yourself off from the world. There is great power in you which is just waiting to be discovered .


RESEARCHING

RESEARCHING  


If there is one area that a motivated seller will stand out above their competition, it is in their knowledge base pertaining to the items they sell. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be this:
Start with what you know, and then broaden your knowledge from there.
You really do not have to know much to sell usable items, clothing, and other non-collectible items online.
You simply identify the item in an auction or on the Amazon marketplace, describe the condition, and then make it available for purchase.
However, other items such as collectibles, high-end electronics, computer equipment, and auto parts require the seller to have some background knowledge before selling the item.
In order to be able to describe the item sufficiently so that a potential buyer is comfortable buying it from you, the seller has to understand what type of information the buyer needs for them to determine value and functionality.
Start selling what you are familiar with.
If you grew up collecting sports cards and memorabilia, and you have boxes of baseball cards in your closet, start by selling your excess cards.
You already know how to describe your cards to buyers.
You can ‘speak the language’ to collectors on eBay.
You know what an insert card is, and how to identify a rookie card.  You know how to describe the condition of the card to a potential buyer.
Get yourself a current price guide for your sports cards so that you have an idea of the current market value.
Then, collect a number of cards that you are interested in selling and type the player’s name and year of the sport card in the search bar on eBay.
Click on the checkbox on the left side of the screen that says ‘Completed Listings’.
You get a list of the ended auctions from the last three months with your search description.
The average ending price is what you should expect to sell your card for, if the condition is also similar.
The same process can be applied to any subject area.
When you have an item that you want to determine value on, take a look at the last three months of sales on eBay.
You should be able to make a quick determination if the item is worth your time.
If you are considering selling the item on Amazon, locate the item in the Amazon marketplace using the search bar, and see what the average price listed is.
EBay completed listings can also help you in other ways. Let’s say that you found a vintage Pioneer audio receiver for free at a garage sale.
Good for you! Now, how do you make a profit on it, if you have never dealt with electronics before? If you plug it in and everything works, you just hit the jackpot.
Look on the back of the unit and find the model number. Type it into the search bar, and see what similar working units have sold for, and list your receiver starting at the low end of the completed listing’s end prices.
You want to encourage bidders by starting at what feels like a bargain to the bidder.
If you attempt to test the receiver and it doesn’t work at all, don’t fret. You actually may make more money by disassembling the receiver and selling the parts.
The trick is to determine which components and parts to sell. You should have an idea what parts are going to be sold BEFORE taking the receiver apart, because some larger components are more valuable whole then totally disassembled.
For instance, if your vintage audio item has a record player, you will want to keep the entire tone-arm assembly together to sell it. In order to determine what we are going to sell, we use Completed Listings again. Type in the model number from the receiver on the main eBay page. Most of the time, the search will return many whole receivers that were for sale. But, it will also give you a list of parts and components that other sellers have listed and what the ending prices were.
For instance, with vintage Pioneer receivers, you would probably find that the outer case was worth listing (and would make you some good money, if it was wood).
You would also note that the knobs, feet, emblem, and face plate were worth money.
Usually the tuning mechanism, display, and some of the internal workings will also be listed.
You may also want to go to the ‘Vintage Electronics’ category and look at the Completed Listings for the entire category.
This will give you a general idea of some of the parts that are often valuable, regardless of brand.
You would probably note that large power transformers are usually worth money, and since your Pioneer has a similar transformer to the ones that you saw in Completed Listings, you would want to list your own transformer in the category that you found the others in. A good seller is curious. If you are at a garage sale, you should be looking for new sources of income. If you find something interesting, look it up in Completed Listings when you get home, and see if it’s worth your time.
I spend a lot of time just browsing Completed Listings in given categories and looking for new areas to list items in. If I find an interesting listing that did really well for another seller, I look at the auction page and try to figure out why it did better than others in the same category. Were there certain words used in the item title? Were the photos showing a certain aspect of the item? Was the item described in a particular way?
If I can pick up anything useful, I use similar wordings in my titles or descriptions. You may also find totally new areas to sell items in. I remember one night browsing Completed Listings to see if any 1980s-era magazines were worth buying at garage sales, because I was seeing them quite often. I found that 95% of the magazines I was seeing were not going to be worth the time it too to list them. But, I saw some listings in other categories that were interesting. Other sellers were listing just the advertisements from magazines and newspapers for pretty decent money.
Often, the magazines the ads came from could be found for $1, but the ads within could be worth up to $20 apiece. People were looking for ads containing celebrities or certain products (like vintage autos, or Atari 2600 games) and framing them for décor in their homes and businesses. So I picked up a bunch of magazines, and clipped interesting ads out. I scanned the ads with my scanner, and listed them on eBay. I made several hundred dollars selling magazine ads in a relatively short time. I looked at a number of sellers’ listings, and it was apparent that they sold only magazine ads and did quite well.
I sold ads for a while, but I quickly realized that you have to make a lot of listings to make any real money, and I found it quite monotonous clipping and scanning, so I moved on to more interesting ventures.  If you are interested in selling ads, there are books available on Amazon for identifying and pricing print ads to get you started. The startup cost is almost zero, and you will make some money if you can find some older magazines to pull ads from.
