The power of, and the need for, surrender

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Gib

 

As I simply mention the word surrender, there are many of you that will immediately ‘go to guns’ over the suggestion. Even the very word ‘surrender’ has such a negative connotation, a loser association.

If you’re a winner you have no need to surrender, right? Let’s discuss that; the power of surrender, and the selective need for it.

I watched a documentary the other night on ex-pats (former US Patriots, with their primary residence out of country), living abroad. The documentary was made to highlight the differences from living in the United States, and living abroad as a US Citizen.

However, the major focus was how you can’t live like a US Citizen, commonly enjoying what is everyday life in the US. Are you catching the shear folly of this presentation?

The huge misconception about manifesting money

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Gib

 

If I were to come right out and tell you that the Law of Attraction does not manifest money, would you think I was a nut job? Would you immediately argue that it is possible to manifest money with the Law of Attraction? And that the Law of Attraction, when used properly can manifest for you, anything that you could desire?

I’m not trying to trick you. But I am here to tell you that you have been sold a ‘semantical’ bill of goods. A kind of hidden message, wrapped in a neat little package that you would be hungry for – more money. Or just plain money, period!

You see, the Law of Attraction doesn’t create anything. There you go again, calling me a nut job. And I just got you settled down!

Let’s dive into this, because when I found out the true answer to attracting, and creating money, it floored me. A few expletives aside, I said to myself, “This is in essence a shell game with words. And it needs to be exposed.”

The importance of receiving

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Gib

Here’s a startling fact for you – by the simple act of not receiving, you could actually be pushing away that which you desire, that which is ready to be handed to you by the universe, forever.

Let’s roll up our sleeves and dive right into this one; shall we? And, if you’re a Type A personality, pay attention. This may be the most important warrior lesson you learn.

Acknowledgement of those things given to you, and being grateful for them insures you not only attract positive circumstances and rewards; it also insures the prolonged manifestation. Let’s go deeper.

If you are not thankful for what you have just been given, you are telling the universe that whatever your success or accomplish was, it’s not important. How’s that for a cold dose of reality?

Guard your imagery

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Gib

 

We literally see everything around us. We see it, acknowledge it, and with practice, we allow it into our subconscious. I use the term ‘practice’ loosely – in some instances it may be constant bombardment.

Our Reticular Activating System, or RAS, is the gatekeeper that says what is allowed into our subconscious, and what isn’t. Those things let in are then the basis of our habits, our actions and our beliefs.

Let in good stuff, and you can learn good habits, good practices, and good beliefs. Let in trash, and you end up with bad actions, bad beliefs, bad habits, etc. etc..

The negative weight of worry

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Gib

 

One of the greatest burdens that we carry is most often created by us. That burden is worry. We may argue that the worry is created by, and only acted out against some external, negative stimulus.

We may even go as far as to justify our worrying as the exercise of trying to reach a conclusion, trying to figure out the problem or hardship we’re encountering. But no matter how we paint it, it’s still a burden that does us no good. And in the long run, actually causes us quite a bit of harm.

No matter how hard you try, you cannot worry yourself better, to fame, riches, or success. You cannot accomplish anything with worry.

E. Joseph Cossman wrote, “If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.”
