"There is no passion to be found playing small
- in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. ~ Nelson Mandela 
Someone wonderful made a comment that I will never forget. The comment helped me to see things in a different light, that it wasn't anything that I had done or didn't do, that what she was going through wasn't about me. The comment was simply 'this is her journey,' and I pass that same comment on to others when I see them floundering.
It is my intention to inspire you.
by AndySamuels
Changing the way you think can be a hard slog, given the effort and time taken to remind yourself to see every situation in a different light. Like trying to be positive for your own wellbeing, no matter how dark the situation can be at the time. For as you start along your new mindset journey, you do find those around you beginning to act differently. Most sad thinkers begin to lighten up or stay away from you. And for those that occupy your company, well, having fun and being happy, that just has to be the bees knees. Life does get better and better when you are with this crowd.
You know that I am not telling you anything new so why the introduction then you say. It was simply to share how the following experience came about. That's right, this is a story close to my heart and one I will be forever grateful to have been told, and one I hope, will inspire you to never give up on yourself. That success can be closer than you think. That what you think does count and to remember that the more passionate your desire is, the more quickly the thing you want, will spring up in your life.

In sharing my experience I cannot help but think that it is so true about hindsight being a beautiful thing when it comes to your children. I remember back to only a few years ago (the turbulent teenage years and your daughter) and to the doom and gloom that surrounded us. No conversation ever appeared to be constructive or positive and everything I tried seemed to backfire and no matter what I did or say could change the negative mindset that she had. A lot of personal soul searching came through this time for me as I really thought I was home and hosed, as the two older boys had travelled into manhood quite well and the only challenges I had were the terrible two's and three's. The younger generation today appear to believe that the whole world is against them, including us (parents), since we play a large part of their world.
Someone wonderful made a comment that I will never forget. The comment helped me to see things in a different light, that it wasn't anything that I had done or didn't do, that what she was going through wasn't about me. The comment was simply 'this is her journey,' and I pass that same comment on to others when I see them floundering. Let them know you support them, love them and always have a home and hug for them and are walking with them through 'their journey' and that it is okay.
Dearie me, what a gloomy start but we finish well, I promise. So with those troubled times behind us and without further ado this is something my baby who has just turned 18, shared with me. Yes we made it and we share a lot about positive thinking, yes the law of attraction and a love of life, one where prosperity and abundance can be ours, if we want.
Most of us have seen or read the fantastic, self-discovery book, showing us how to manifest our dreams - The Secret. When I watched the secret - after my mum had niggled me for a week or two - my life changed. Immediately after watching the DVD of The Secret, I wanted to delve into this new world of thought. A world that helps you to understand your purpose and how to fulfill your life long dreams.
At first I was very skeptical about this ideology, "if you think the right way everything will come to you!" I thought all my prayers had been answered and life was going to give me everything I ever wanted (maybe not Johnny Depp). My mum was getting deep into the ways to manifest and think positively and showed me a new way to help the train of thought - mind movies.
I listened to a bloke on an Australian radio interview who talked about how he made a mind movie with roughly 30 items and of those 30 items he actually received 20 or so. I decided that because I had to see this to believe it, I would make my own.
Of all things, I had always wanted an IPhone (for free) and decided to put that in my mind movie. Not long after, I had one, and it was fantastic - it was second hand but looked brand new - and then one month after that I had a brand new Iphone sitting in my hands.
Life is about belief; belief that we aren't just toughing it alone, that there is someone or something out there. I am still skeptical to a degree about The Secret's ways but it has worked for me in everyday life. Whether it is getting the first car-park out the front of the Doctors (which I always get now) or getting the new IPhone; The Secret is about believing in yourself and loving yourself and by being a wonderful person you will attract everything you want - without the how involved. Maybe one day I will be sitting on the French Riviera with Mr Depp, and then I can say all my dreams have come true.
It is my intention to inspire you. Remember "out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made" -Michael Beckwith
I am learning many things from my daughter (yes the tables do turn), if you have a question and would like me to write about our experience or something specific, then please inspire me and let me know.

Clear the clutter, let go, create space - why do we do it?
We know to be happy in the now, to appreciate where we are at this time. For to focus only on being happy when we get there will not work with the universe. So what does this have to do with clearing the clutter? Clearing out our physical space is a mind cleansing exercise, it helps us to let go of attachment and to move through and clear any conflicting subconscious blocks. A clever Law of Attraction tool, personal in nature and very satisfying.
Clearing personal space allows you to receive more. Yes it makes room for good things to come more quickly to you. Presently, I am in the middle of a huge, home, decluttering project. One that will be extended well into the remainder of the year. I cannot fathom why I have kept old dried flowers (certainly past their use by date), printers no longer working, old travel magazines, money magazines on mortgages, notebooks from years gone by and no longer useful. Clothes that are out of fashion and some now great for rags. What was I thinking?
Although it is satisfying to clear some of the mess, it remains that some of our possessions come with a strong emotional attachment. We have memories attached to them and that is what makes them valuable to us. And it is hard to let them go, even when you know it is time. As they say we are creatures of habit and it is that habit we strive to break.
So, I tell myself I cannot keep hoarding things especially since I want to bring more of what I have been asking for, into my life. As I clean through my house, i move certain objects that I have an intense emotional bond to, aside. I put them in plain view and say to myself "soon, but not today, soon I will be ready." It reminds me of baby's first day at school and the feelings of having to let go, because it was the right thing to do, and a good thing. You know the time is coming and you have time to prepare, and that's a good feeling.
In letting go, I have mixed feelings because of the attachment, the memories and to something as simple as a dress, a book or a hand painting.
Then something wonderful happens and you share another's experience and realise that it is a process to move through. Then you feel the excitement of knowing what you have asked for is coming. Isn't it a wonderful feeling.
Here's what I shared: Dr. Shelley Kaehr "I've been doing a lot of releasing lately. Letting go of material possessions big time. It always means something is coming, and so I will see what happens. Meanwhile, I feel light and refreshed after relinquishing attachment.
I seriously don't have anything on the walls anymore!!! It is hilarious! I don't want anymore either, but the problem is, I am likely to fill things up again at some point - only a matter of time. For now, it feels clear and that is good. Each thing that walks out of this place makes me feel lighter than I have. What is the universe going to bring? I can't wait to see, but it always brings something when we let go. I have to believe it must be big and good because I always get rid of stuff, but the deepening of this during the last round - letting go of things I have intense emotional bonds to - has been quite profound on some spiritual level."
Shelley's comments really put things into perspective and enabled me to understand that the anxious feelings were just part of the clearing process. I look forward to completing the task and encourage anyone to use the web to find more supporting statements to assist you in your journey to abundance.
The effect of clearing your clutter may sound simple but it awakens in you, feelings that you did not know existed. Let go of the attachment, practice your 'clearing techniques' eg. tapping, mind movies, vision boards, meditation and relax knowing that you are on the path to fulfillment and this is a good thing.

Manifesting Formula
Being impulsive can be risky, but it's even more dangerous to cling doggedly to the past when the future is calling.
The key to manifesting has been around forever and is in the Bible.
Matthew 21:22 "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
Be clear about what you want (as opposed to not asking or asking for the wrong things).
Believe that your request is being brought to you.
Receive when it shows up (often we fail to see that what we have asked for, even when it is knocking on the door).
Believe that your request is being brought to you.
Receive when it shows up (often we fail to see that what we have asked for, even when it is knocking on the door).
And the final step is to acknowledge when it works for you by being grateful to the Universe.
If you want to manifest all your 'asks' and want to learn the how to train yourself in the way to think, speak and act then consider the following references:

Food For Thought
I remember when I was younger coming home and as you rounded the corner of the house, smelling something wonderful cooking. You wished with all your might that it was coming from your house and not your neighbours. Then as you opened the door - you are greeted by a truly delightful smell. Yes it's our dinner and I think it's a pot roast.
Then, when you left home, the crock-pot almost became a hand-me-down. More here

Create Your Vision
Create Your World
I was inspired to create my own vision board after listening to John Assaraf tell his story of how he manifested his giant mansion. In his story he related how his mansion came to be and of then finding a picture of this very same mansion on one of the vision boards he had previously made - when he first started his journey, some years before.

Audi R8 - Designed to take your breath away.
The breathtaking design is recognisable the moment it appears in a rear view mirror!
Aaah nearly home, I'm thinking 15 more minutes tops and I will be pulling into the driveway - what a relief.
Ooh I wish I had driven the 'good' car today - I could be relaxing more and enjoying luxury at it's best (well in my little world), but no, since I was drving into the City I thought it would be easier to take the old car.
I glance around and see some really nice cars. but one takes my eye. It's blue and very old - it's a bomb and I wonder to myself 'how in the hell did that one make the safety check, I sigh. Traffic is a little heavy and I can't wait to be out of it. I reassure myself that just around the next hill will be the turn-off and home.
I check my right side mirror and 'holy smokes' what the hell - I say - what the hell is that? Oh my God, I feel a rush of excitement, it's an unfamiliar sight to behold and something I haven't seen this close. Here it comes.
Now what in blazes is it, boy is it a stunner. I see a sleek silver sports car, dark windows - she just purrs on up to me, sits as if to tease, then hums on past. Only one car length away - OMG it's an Audi R8 - thank God for heavy traffic I say to myself!
I'm thinking maybe I don't want to turn off in the next 5 seconds and go home after all. My heart skips a beat and I yell out "I want one."
In a few short seconds I was hooked and I couldn't get enough. I'm in love. So until the driveway is sorted out for my new R8 I'm going to write about it.
Oh and apparently there is still no news on when the R8 GT will go on sale but rumours from Audi is that it will retail for 193,000 Euros, or roughly $256,000 U.S.
