How Can You Find Your Way In?

This the Fourth Part in a series.

If you haven't done so I would strongly suggest that you read the previous parts along with their comments...

1 - God And Wealth. What's The Connection Here?

2 - Stepping Further Into The Hornet's Nest...

3 - The Cursor's Flashing, Waiting For You To Mentally Login...

Let's forget about creation for a moment.

To be honest...it's irrelevant to me to 'know' whether A God, THE God, or the Universe created the earth, the universe, and all living things.

I'm not concerned about 'in the beginning'.

All I need to get a handle on is NOW!

Even if I 'found' God - then that wouldn't change the material fact that I need to deal with LIVING on a day-to-day basis - within the parameters set by the Western society I choose to live in.

I STILL need to pay to buy food...I STILL want to run a car and live in a nice house.

It doesn't matter HOW religious or spiritual YOU are - you STILL need to 'survive', don't you?

YOUR way of 'dealing' with what live throws at YOU will undoubtedly be different to how I deal with what life throws at ME.

Yet...we both need to think about WHY we are here.

Or perhaps, more importantly, think about the answer to that question we may have asked often enough in the past -

"Why ME?"

Why IS it that some people can go through life without a care in the world and always 'land on their feet'...when WE quite often find live a struggle?

Is it because they BELIEVE in God...or is it because they believe in THEMSELVES first?

How is it that some people can just login to that 'Universal computer'...and literally always get what they want?

- Is it because they set goals?
- Is it because they believe in hard work?
- Is it because they pray regularly?
- Is it because they say affirmations?
- Is it because they take risks?

Well...in a word...NO!

The funny thing where success is concerned is that it's all down to OTHER peoples' perception.

Can you honestly believe that...

- Because Bill Gates is the richest man in the world - he is the happiest?
- Because Mother Theresa saw abject poverty day after day she was miserable?
- Because a man is lost in the desert - getting money is so much more important than just finding water?

When all is said and done...the ONLY way you can become TRULY successful is if you are finding it on YOUR own terms.

Which is where the problems start...as most people are conditioned for competition and comparison...

- How much money do you earn?
- What job do you do?
- What car do you drive?
- How many bedrooms does your house have?

THESE are the forever moving 'targets' that we TRY and reach...not realizing until we go PAST them...that perhaps they're now not good enough!

At eighteen - I would have felt like a rich man if I had been earning what I did at thirty.

So - why, at thirty, when I WAS earning a nice salary - why did I feel more cash poor and TIME poor than I ever had done?

Chasing a moving target always gives one result - you never hit it.

You ONLY hit it when you realize that it doesn't HAVE to be moving. In fact...you might ALREADY be so close to it to reach it.

But...until you're aware that you alone can NEVER reach it, then it will continue to move in your mind.

Remember...that cursor's flashing in your mind...just waiting for you to find YOUR 'password'.

Don't be fooled into thinking that there is only ONE way in.

There are as many ways 'in' as there are successful people who found THEIR way in.

Yet...I firmly believe that at least 99.9% of the most successful (note - not necessarily WEALTHY) people on Earth couldn't even TELL you HOW they 'did it'.

They could tell you WHAT they did...but HOW they did it would certainly be a lot more difficult to put into words.

And...I bet that a fair percentage of them don't even BELIEVE in religion, spirituality, or the 'Universe' at all!

They just happened to find the way 'in' that worked for them to the degree that circumstances in their lives began to conspire (or perhaps ASPIRE) to help them.

That's why you hear stories about millionaires who lost it all - yet a few years later - made it all over again in a completely different business.

Because they know HOW.

That's why the statistics show that most Lotto winners are back where they started within a few short years.

Because they DON'T know HOW.

It's NOT about 'taking action'...we can all do that...and, there are many people who DO take action that are some of the poorest people in society.

Working harder and longer is NOT the answer.

The answer lies between your ears...but elsewhere. You have a connection to a stream of information you couldn't possibly find out for yourself.

But...you will NEVER work out HOW to access it unless you STOP trying to do things somebody elses' way.

You may be told that, unless you believe in God...you can't possibly get what you want.

You may be told that, unless you repeat affirmations twice a day then your rightful success will be denied you.

You may be told that, unless you keep a task list then you will never amount to much.

Well...I, for one, don't do ANY of those three things...and my life is more happy, balanced, and successful than it ever has been.

Yet I don't earn as much money as I have done in the past.

But...that doesn't MATTER.

Why?

Well...once you realize that it's YOU that matters - then a lot of decisions become a lot easier...and the HOW becomes so much more easier to understand.

WE are connected...you and I. Yet...I will say to you - don't do what I do.

Do what YOU do...and do it well...and do it for YOU!

God, the Universe or whatever you may want to call 'it' will move ONLY when YOU do.

And...quite often...you may well be looking in one direction instead of FEELING for it in another.

To be continued...
