Why You Came Into This Reality

Some teachers of the law of attraction say that you are this all powerful being that came to this reality to have a "human experience." Some people ask, if I had it all and could do it all, why would I want to experience giving it all up? In this article I will explain why you chose to live out this experience.

Just recently one of my favorite movies was playing on TV. It was The Game staring Michael Douglas. It brought up a very important point that I've never noticed before. If you've never seen the movie it is now the time to STOP READING! There will be spoilers. You have been warned.

The movie touches on a commonly asked question: "What kind of gift do you give someone who has everything?" The answer that the movie provides is: You take it all away. Then just before he's at the breaking point, you give it all back. This will give him a greater appreciation for what he has.

This is basically the gift that you've given yourself. Your "True Self" wanted to make a game of forgetting how powerful you actually are, then live through the joy gaining it all back again.

So the first part of the process is the preparation of the game. This is where you hide your godlike power from yourself, which is not an easy task. You first create this entire universe based on limitation. You create all the rules of physics in order to mask your true power. Then you forget that you did it all.

The next part is finding your way back to who you really are. This can either be done gradually, while you are living. Like what practitioners of the Law of Attraction try to do. Or you'll gain it all back in one shot. This happens when you "die." You don't really die, of course. "Death" is just a fail safe, so you don't permanently stay in this state of forgetfulness and powerlessness.

As you can imagine, getting your power back is extremely exciting & joyful. And that's the whole point of this game that you put yourself in.

Maybe that's where the famous band, N.E.R.D. got their name from. It stands for No one Ever Really Dies. Maybe they they've found a lot of their power back and that's why they've been so successful.

You now know why you chose to come to this reality and live out this human experience. If you would like to know specific ways of getting that power back check out Busting Loose From the Money Game: Mind-Blowing Strategies for Changing the Rules of a Game You Can't Win.

I've always wondered if what we're seeing is really all there is. This video from "What the bleep," does a great job illustrating that.

7 Tips for Easier Writing

One of the best and most enjoyable ways for me to express creativity (besides choking someone unconscious in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class) is to write. But some find it laborious and would rather dig a trench in solid manure, then write a single paragraph. This blog post will give you some tips to making writing easier, maybe even fun!

You don't realize it yet, but in the next 2 minutes you're going to learn how to breeze through writing, even when you have writers block! Here are 9 tips for easier writing.

1. State Your Purpose Beforehand. The first step in writing is actually knowing what to write. Many writers, for some strange reason, bypass this and just start typing away. It's no wonder they get stuck. They have no direction.
   
2. Know Your Topic. This may seem like a no brainer, but you may be surprised how many writers don't do any research before starting on a topic. Here's a tip. Just read 3 of the top selling books on your topic and you'll be more knowledgeable about it than 80% of the population.
   
3. Know your audience. This boils down to the age old saying "What's in it for me?" Of course you may think that you're written piece is the greatest, most interesting and entertaining thing in the world but if it doesn't give any benefits to anyone no one will read it.
   
4. Use a mind map to outline your article. Use a large piece of news print paper and draw a circle in the middle. Put your main topic in the middle. Then draw 10 to 12 lines from that circle. At the end of each line, write down subtopics, tips, and/or facts that support your main topic. Just write freely until you've filled all lines. Now all you have to do is pick and choose which ones you like. This will give enough topics to write an outline with.
   
5. Make use of bullet points. Bullets act as a stop sign for the eyes, they refocus the reader on the article if they're attention starts to waiver. They also big help for people like myself, who have a habit of scanning articles to get to the good stuff faster.
   
6. Write in a conversational tone. Forget all those fancy shmancy long words you may have picked up in college. The average reader doesn't really have a stomach for academia types of pieces. They just want something they can understand, and will help them or entertain them.
   
7. If all else fails, turn off your monitor and "go to town" for 20 minutes. In other words don't look at what your writing. Just open a word processor, turn off your screen and start typing freely. Let your subconscious take over and see what happens. When you're done, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you've written down.

Now you've learned how to breeze through writing, even when you have writers block. Just know that writing gets easier the more you do it. So even if you're having a hard time, don't give up. Just keep pushing through, it will get easier.

Don't be Hatin'

Have you ever come across someone that constantly got on your nerves? It always seems like they’re doing great and you keep getting the short end of the stick. No matter how much you try to avoid this person they keep constantly showing up in your life. Want to know why? While you're sitting there reading this, your going to learn that hating on someone actually makes them more successful and increases their presence in your awareness.

The best thing to do when you experiencing hate or dislike towards someone (for any reason), is to redirect the focus to yourself. Creating your reality is about putting focus on what you want, and resisting or thinking negatively about someone is NOT focusing on what you want. But it's easier to remedy than you think. Some people think that to use the law of attraction correctly in this situation is to wish the person well and think positive thoughts about the person. You don't necessarily have to. You can just replace the thoughts you have about her/him with thoughts on how you can better your life and bettering your relationship with success.

When I was working for a multibillion dollar company back in the day there was this guy that I couldn't stand. He was one of those smug corporate types that was full of himself. You know the type. The guy practicing his golf swing while making "small talk." The guy that has a vocabulary filled with corporate bullsh.. let me rephrase that ...jargon. You could understand my dismay when this guy got promotion after promotion and just kept getting more "successful," while I stayed stuck. I just couldn't find a way to get him away from my reality.

The moment I took the focus off of him and looked at myself instead, I was able to leave that job and start a business. How the business actually did... Well, it's best to save that for another day.

The Relationship Between Information and Cash

Cash and information are economically equivalent to each other. The relationship between them is quite a strong one. In fact, I'm willing to bet that at least one point in your life, you paid good money for information. Like buying a book, software, or home study course.

People will work very hard to save up to go to school, or take classes, to gain information. Or even work a minimum wage job just to learn something. (Even if they did qualify for a higher-paying one.) Knowledge, information, money, power. It's all the same!

So here's an idea...

Chances are, there is someone living in my neighborhood, that will greatly benefit by learning anything that I know about marketing. And vice versa. But here's the problem. Our paths may never cross. And even if we do meet, we might never know that information, because it might not ever come up.

What would be a solution to this problem? And more importantly... How could we package and sell that solution?

Energy Vampires

There are some people that relish in spreading their negative thoughts and feelings around. Some people out there are about 90% negative all the time. It seems like everything that comes out of their mouth is complaint, after complaint, after complaint. You know the type. The type of person that will just come up to you and say something negative about someone or complain about something. It's almost like these people don't know how to make conversation, unless it's something they're complaining about.

These vile creatures are what I call energy vampires. I did not make of that term. In fact it's been around for quite some time.

Energy vampires must be avoided at all costs! They thrive and feed off negative energy that they give off in the first place. When they start complaining, other people start to feel negative, then contribute their own negative energy. This is what energy vampires feed on. It's what sustains them. It's what gives them more energy to spread more negativity.

If you are approached by an energy vampire. Try this. Try countering every one of his negative comments are complaints with positive remarks. Be the type of person that sees the brighter side of everything. Then watch the energy vampire start to freak out!

He might start referring to you as "weird" or "creepy." He won't know how to relate to you. And if you're lucky enough, he might just leave you alone altogether.

Or...

He might actually start to have a positive conversation with you. If you infect an energy vampire this way, you might actually be able to save him. But don't get your hopes up. Energy vampires are deeply rooted in their evil ways. And changing them back to being human is a harder task than anyone can imagine.

Just kidding! The best thing you can do for the human race is to cure as many energy vampires as you can. Many people out there don't realize that they are energy vampires They just don't know any other way to communicate. They are just saying what's on their mind. And if what's on their mind is negative all the time, then the reality that they have manifest must be a harsh one. This is very sad and you should feel very sorry for them.

I will keep the fight going against energy vampires. If you would like to help my cause, you can "donate" at the bottom of this page. And keep me fighting the good fight! ;-P

Focus on "What" Instead of "How"

A lot of people I know get tripped up on "how" they are going to achieve something, instead of "what" they want to achieve. If what you want to achieve is a big goal, the word "how" can actually make it seem impossible to do.

For example. Let's say you wanted to build a skyscraper. If you put your focus on how you are going to do it, you're going to just think of stuff like, "How am I going to get the money to make this happen? How I might going to get the proper permits? How are buildings even made?" You see how it can become a little intimidating?

Instead you should always focus on "what." Focusing on what will keep you centered on the main goal. I'm not saying that you should never think of "how." You should just keep your focus on "what." The how is important, and there is a place for it. It just shouldn't be in your pre-dominant thought process. As far as "how" you are going to do something, you should only think about the next task at hand.

If you only view things one step at a time, suddenly, everything seems highly doable. Maybe even easy!

That's probably how Genghis Khan viewed taking over the world. He probably only thought about uniting or conquering one nomadic tribe at a time. I'm just guessing, but if you were to tell him before he had conquered anything, that he had to conquer half the world within his lifetime, he would probably think you were crazy. (Just before driving his sword into your face!)

So again, don't get caught up on "how" you're going to do something. Just focus on what you want to do, and what the next step is. Everything else will fall into place.
