Thoughts from Worry Free Island: Something occurred to me the other day, in how money affects our happiness, and what I found was that money sometimes affects our happiness at different levels and with varying results, at other times it has no effect whatsoever.

I have been consolidating my assets and property portfolio in preparation for a move back to the UK, and there have been some rather large amounts of money being deposited into my bank. The thing that struck me was, that when I got the message that these large sums of money were in my bank, my emotions did not change.

I thought back to a time in my life when just a small portion of this money deposited into my bank account, would be cause for great celebration.

This made it very clear to me as to why you have to have passion and purpose in life, because at a certain point money loses its ability to make you happy, or change your vibration, and then happiness comes from a much deeper place.

If you do not enjoy yourself on the way to the place where money ceases to change your vibration, it will be such a waste and the odds are that you will not have the passion and purpose to create ongoing happiness.

TIP: Make sure you always have a purpose in life, it will take you to places money cannot buy.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island : sometimes we can be as focused as anything and still not get results because of our subconscious. I was talking to a client the other day, who was so good at sales previously, and over the last two years things got very patchy. I have worked with him and he was doing everything right, but still no sales, I must admit it started getting to me, because I had never seen anyone work so hard and not get results.

I monitored what was going on as a detached observer, and then I realised, that after the GFC, he reduced his production dept to save money because of the dramatic drop in sales at that time. Obviously things sorted themselves out and the production dept got up to full capacity.

The amazing thing is that this guy was desperate to grow the business, and went out every day to get sales, but when the production area was too busy, his subconscious was telling him that if he got this sale, it would only cause problems because production was so busy, and therefore he was sending out signals that were preventing the sale.

The conundrum was that he was saying to himself that once he got enough sales in the pipeline he would increase production, but the fact that he did not have enough production was preventing him getting sales.

The update is that he sourced some assistance from the Phillipines and in effect created a void in the production department. That is a totally different mindset, trying to get work to keep everyone busy, rather than overloading an already busy dept.

The lesson is that he was trying to find out what was wrong with his sales ability, and the problem was in a totally different department.

TIP: We sometimes look in the wrong place for the solution to our problems.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island: Universal laws do not care whether you believe in them or not, they are not selective, they just react to stimuli and if you know how to control your input, you then create your results. How many people found out about gravity, before they thought of building a bridge. It did not matter how much they ignored the law of gravity, or how fast they approached the canyon, everytime they jumped off the edge, which way did they go?

Your life is controlled by universal laws  whether you believe in them or notws or not, they react to the information you give them. Is it not a good idea then, to at least take the trouble to investigate how we can have control over their effect on our lives.

TIP: Whatever is happening in your life at this moment, is a direct result of the messages you are sending out.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island; I have been experiencing a lot of differing results lately from my group sessions, going from amazing to absolutely nothing. This got me thinking what could possibly have that much affect on these varying results?

I firstly talked to the people who did not seem to get any benefit, and in all cases I found that they were concentrating on problems or worries, and were not actually in tune, or listening with a free mind.

Then I asked the people who were buzzing with energy from their results and you guessed it, they were totally in tune with what was being said, and had no distractions.

The people who tuned in and just let things flow with no resistance and no distractions, seemed to experience a snowball effect and increase their awareness very simply and got real results and enjoyment. The ones that did not get in the flow, however hard they tried could not get any results, and got disheartened saying that it was all rubbish.

This is very like watching a film, when you are really stressed, what you see and take in will be totally different to watching it again years later, when you feel happy and contented. Same film totally different message, dependent on how you feel.

If things are not working out too well in your life at the moment, try and step back, put things in perspective, and try and get in a good space, before you revisit them.

It is all about how you feel that will determine any outcome, it reminded me of the old song that said, “It don’t mean a thing, if you ain’t got that zing”

TIP: Do not be too quick to accept results that you get when you haven’t put in the ZING.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island: It is your right to obtain wealth and create enough money to live a fulfilled life, and you MUST decide what fulfilled means to you based on what you feel would make you happy.

It is always a problem when people look at others and envy their lifestyle, when the truth may well be that that person could actually envy aspects of your lifestyle. For example a “successful” business person may have lots of disposable income, and the supposed trappings of success, but because of the situation they are in, they may not have the mindset or the time to enjoy it.

When creating your vision, it is important that you factor in initially, the things you love about your life now, that cost nothing, for example time with your family, exercise regimes, being available to do things with your children, time to enjoy the natural wonders of the universe like sunrise and sunsets, and of course time with friends. It is these very things that some people seem to sacrifice, in an attempt to obtain money and things  that they think might make them happy.

Most of the extremely wealthy people I know, get pleasure from doing some very basic things, and always wish that they had more time.and others have arrived at where they wanted to be financially, and have realised their assets, and have so much time on their hands that they get bored.

So as you can see, the more balanced that you can make things on the way to achieving your vision the better. That is why I recommend not making too many sacrifices on the way by ignoring the things mentioned earlier, that you can enjoy now.

TIP:  Do not lose now when preparing for the future. It is how you act day to day that will create your successes.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island: Something that tends to cloud our judgement and give us limiting power,, is when we hear about all the strife and negative things that happen and get reported through our news channels.

Unfortunately good news does not sell papers or create a TV audience, and that is why you should avoid taking in all the negative stuff that they keep reporting on. Once you are aware as to how you are programmed, and realize the destruction of negative thoughts, you will definitely be doing yourself a favour, if you just stop taking in this information.

Many people say that it is important to keep up with what is happening in the world, as a reason that they regularly watch or listen to the news. Generally what you see on the news, has little or no bearing on what is actually happening, and you get this picture that the world is a bad place. The world is not a bad place it is a wonderful and beautiful place, provided that you control what you see and hear about it.

Out of the huge pool of stories available, the person that is compiling the news you watch or read each day, will only use one criteria for selection, and that is, will this shock, amaze or frighten you. The story is irrelevent.

The media is the governments way of brainwashing you, think about it, we have discussed how we get programmed by accepting certain information from reliable sources, and then storing it. Well provided that governments can feed information through the media, they in effect have a way of controlling you.

TIP:  Become NEWS FREE and see how your life changes and also work out what to do with all the time you recover.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island: We do actually act on our thoughts and create results all the time, even things as simple as going for a drive, and deciding on a destination is acting out and getting a result from a thought. That same process is used for creating larger things, but our limiting beliefs stop us.

The secret here is to allow yourself to dream without boundaries and eventually you will be able to visualise the life you want, and not have to make do with the life you THINK you can have.

One simple idea to help you think of what it is you really want, is to think about what you truly would like if you knew it was impossible not to materialise. This is something that does not come naturally because the old programming will still want to interfere, so keep working at it. Eventually you will find that you get into tune with the vision you are creating.

This is exactly what Wally says in the book, “Enter into the full enjoyment of what you are visualising NOW”

The limitations that we impose on ourselves, and that stop us creating the vision of what we really need, is the glass ceiling. I call it the glass ceiling, because it creates an illusion that there really are no blockages because we can see well into the future, but as soon as we hit the glass we stop, it is an invisible barrier.

We all have different points where we position our glass ceiling, and this is shown by the fact that many people can be given the same information, but they all receive different results. It is the people that have no glass ceiling at all that become the high achievers.

One of the main factors that position your glass ceiling, is the way you think about yourself and your self worth, you tend to position the ceiling at a position that you feel comfortable with, and the worse you feel about yourself, the nearer to you place your barrier.

Strange isn’t it that how you feel about yourself, can have such dramatic consequences on what you can achieve in the future.

TIP: Once you start having faith and belief in yourself, you will be given the tools and ability to achieve all the things you can dream of, and now you know how your blockages are created, you are half way towards removing them.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island; During a conversation recently, a very profound point emerged as to how we perceive first impressions, and how wrong we can be.

We were talking about someone who had appeared very forward and possibly had a disruptive agenda to pursue, that on first impressions, would not have been a suitable candidate.

While we were talking, we discussed all the good points about this person, who had initially presented so badly. We realised that her presentation came from insecurity and innocence, and she was totally unaware that her actions could have been misunderstood.

So we had a good person presenting badly in a desperate effort to secure a position.

If a good person could present badly, then we argued that it was very likely that a bad person could present well, and if you think about it, if someone is aware of what you are looking for, they can cover an awful lot of defects, by just presenting exactly what you expect to see.

In effect a bad person could create a better impression than the person who is ideal for the job.

How many times have we misjudged a situation because of a bad first impression, when the person was infact acting out of insecurity and innocence.

TIP: It may be a good idea to not dismiss people on a bad first impression, just in case they are actually a good person presenting badly.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island: Being successful is definitely a journey, and not solely the result of arriving at a destination, you can then start enjoying your success the minute you decide to start your journey. It is not necessary to have vast amounts of money in the bank and all your debts cleared before you can call yourself a success, you can be a success right now.

A word of warning in just wanting to reach your destination, you may actually arrive with a vast amount of money, but that in itself is not a truly satisfying state of affairs, and you will experience boredom very quickly. Money is not a creative thing, it only has creative and worthwhile uses, once it is placed in the right hands. You must therefore learn what you can do with money on your journey.

Being creative gives the greatest satisfaction and will out do a competitive spirit everytime.

It is essential then that you treat every stage of your journey as the most important and enjoyable part to date. Do not lose enjoyment of the now, by wishing away the present to get to the next station. Your enjoyment of each stage will be dependent on the satisfaction and lessons you learned from the one before.

It is up to you to realise this, and once you do, you can start enjoying life by living in the certain way, comfortable in the knowledge that you will eventually reach your destination, but you will have had a very successful journey.

TIP: Enjoy your successes as you travel through your journey, do not wish away today, to try and speed things up.

Thoughts from Worry Free Island: One way or another we are all on a journey and to be truly successful it is vital that you are at peace with every stage of that journey. With an incorrect mindset some people do not enjoy the stations they visit on their journey because they are always looking ahead, waiting until they get to the next station before they allow themselves to be happy or grateful.

The wonderful thing is that if you follow the teachings contained in the SOGR, you can feel happy and successful at every stage. All you need to do is to get your own journey underway, and a Worry Free Life awaits you.

If you relax into these teachings, you will experience things that up until now may have eluded you, you will also find that you can feel and enjoy at anytime all the truly simple yet amazing things that are the gifts of life.

Look at your journey as you would any other trip. If you are going on holiday, “Do you only start enjoying it when you arrive at your destination?” ” No”  you get excited thinking about what you will do when you get there, you get enjoyment from selecting the hotel and booking the tickets, you actually feel and think about what you are going to do once you get there, you buy new clothes and visualise yourself wearing them once you arrive. In effect you are getting enjoyment and excitement from your holiday, long before you actually leave to start your trip.

This is how your journey should be through life once you follow these teachings. Wallace actually says that you should enter into the full enjoyment of your vision before you receive it. That statement should now make a bit more sense.

TIP: Create your vision and start your journey NOW
