Take a moment today to say thank you to the men and women who serve our country.

My first memory of Veterans Day, or Remembrance Day, as it was called in Canada, is going to downtown Windsor with my Grandmother to buy Poppy lapel pins. My grandmother lost a brother in the “Great War”. As we bought several poppies from a disabled veteran, she told me that
we wore the Poppy to remind us of how the Allies signed the Armistice that ended World War One at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, 1918. After more than four years continuous warfare, the guns of the Western Front fell silent and our soldiers came home. Like my great uncle, some soldiers would never come home again and we wore a red poppy in memory of those who sacrificed their lives for us.

A poem called ‘For the Fallen’ is often read aloud during Veterans Day ceremonies; the most famous stanza of which reads:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

— Fourth stanza of ‘For the Fallen’ by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943)

Today, young men and women are once again called to serve their country. When you see a member of the service when you are out and about, introduce yourself and say thank you. Sometime today, take a moment to remember the fallen and those who love and miss them. No matter what your personal view of the current wars, I know each of us respect and support the wonderful men and women who selflessly serve our country.

We may no longer wear poppies, but each of us can take a moment to remember.

Attitude Is Everything!

When we cut away all the junk - every situation is a choice

We choose how we react to situations

We choose how people will affect our mood

We choose to be in a good mood or bad mood

It’s our choice how we live our life

I have learned that every day I have the choice
to either enjoy my life or to hate it

The only thing that is truly mine —

That no one can control or take from me —

Is my Attitude

So if I can take care of that,
Everything else in life becomes much easier

I choose an Attitude of Gratitude

by Jack Canfield

Do you live in a state of mental and physical clutter? Do you have a bunch of unfinished business lurking around every corner?

Incomplete projects, unfinished business, and piles of cluttered messes can weigh you down and take away from the energy you have to move forward toward your goals.

When you don’t complete tasks, you can’t be fully prepared to move into the present, let alone your new future. When your brain is keeping track of all the unfinished business you still have at hand, you simply can’t be effective in embracing new tasks that are in line with your vision.

Old incompletes can show up in your life in lots of different ways… like not having clarity, procrastination, emotional energy blocks and even illness. Blocked energy is wasted, and a build up of that energy can really leave you stymied!

Throw out all the clutter and feel how much easier it is to think! Make a list of areas in your life (both personal and professional) where you have incompletes and messes, then develop a plan to deal with them once and for all. Fix and organize the things that annoy you. Take your final steps in bringing closure to outstanding projects. Make that difficult phone call. Delegate time-wasting tasks that you’ve let build up.

When you free yourself from the mental burden of incompletes and messes, you’ll be AMAZED at how quickly the things you do want in life arrive.

Another area where you’ll find incompletes in your life is in your emotions. Are you holding on to old hurts, resentments, and pain? Just like the physical clutter and incompletes, your energy is being drained by holding on to and reliving past pain and anger.

Remember, you’ll attract whatever feelings you’re experiencing. So, if you’re stuck in revengeful thinking and angered in muck, you can’t possibly be directing energy toward a positive future. You need to let go of the past in order to embrace the future. Letting go involves forgiveness and moving on.

By forgiving you aren’t releasing the other person from their transgression as much as you’re freeing yourself from their transgression. You don’t have to condone their behavior, trust them, or even maintain a relationship with them. However, you DO have to free yourself from the anger, from the pain, and from the resentment once and for all!

When learning to forgive, make sure to complete the cycle. Acknowledge your anger, your pain, and your fear. But also own up to any part you’ve played in allowing it to happen or continue. Make sure to express whatever it was that you wanted from that person, and then see the whole event from the other’s point of view. Allow yourself to wonder what that person was going through and what kind of needs he/she was trying to fulfill at the time.

Finally, let go and move on. Every time you go through this process you’re learning how to avoid letting it happen again!

…is the one you give to yourself

“It’s true! Nobody is going to bail anybody out when it comes to your day-to-day life. That’s why you have to take action and seize the moment when something this powerful presents itself.

You must invest in yourself, and your future in a way that nobody on earth can ever take away from you. That is how you permanently change your life for the better.

And there’s absolutely nothing more powerful than tapping into the universal laws of attraction to do it!

Now more than ever, this is the most important step you could possibly take to create the rest of your life the way YOU want it–instead of being pushed around like a pawn on a chessboard.”

When I read these words in my morning e-mail, I knew that I wanted to share them with our Millionaire Mind Support Network™ members.

Many of you have already heard of the Mind Movie Creation Kit. (http://www.mindmovies.com) or perhaps seen some mind movies on YouTube.

“What Do You Want?”

What would your hearts desire look like? T. Harv Eker stressed the importance of Creative Visualization in his book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and during our Millionaire Mind Intensive weekend. Metaphysical author, Stuart Wilde, says that the most important question an individual can ask is, “What do I want?”

In a Law of Attraction training session, Wilde went down a row of participants and barked the question, “WHAT DO YOU WANT?” Amazingly, considering the topic of the workshop, only a few people could answer the BIG QUESTION — By the way, I wasn’t one of them.

Wilde’s point, “If you don’t know what you want, How Can You Attract What You Want Into Your Life!”

Personally, clearly defining WHAT I want, and integrating that “burning desire” at a feeling level has been along journey for me. After reading The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and attending the Millionaire Mind Intensive, I had an “AAHAA” moment.

My personal money blueprint stated, in large block letters, IT IS SELFISH TO THINK OF ONE’S SELF AND ONE’S NEEDS OVER THE NEEDS OF OTHERS.”

Note to self:
“Not only is it important to clearly define what I want, I must identify and disable old programs and beliefs that will sabotage the changes I’m initiating in my life.”

A friend sent me a very inspiring YOUTUBE ‘Mind Move’ and a link to the company that was selling the software to help people make their own personally customized Mind Movies. I was intrigued. Obviously, the concept of visualization is not new — it is absolutely essential to realizing our dreams. You must have a clear picture of where you want to go.

After I had finally defined WHAT I wanted, I found that I simply could not visualize long enough, strongly enough, or consistently enough to attract my BIG DREAM.

One of the key messages of “The Secret” is that we can achieve anything is by “seeing” where we want to go in crystal clear detail. It’s the consistent “visualization” that sets off a cosmic “chain reaction” and actualizes our dreams and intentions. I found the concept of making a personalized Mind Movie to help me develop a focused visualization intriguing…an investment to help kick my millionaire mind mojo into high gear.

I took action — I invested in myself!

Mind Movie is a short 3-minute video filled with powerful affirmations, and emotionally inspiring images. I can choose the images that mean the most to me. By watching this video twice a day I can leveraging the extreme power of the Law of Attraction, get out of the way and allow the universe to bring me the people, and resources required to make my dreams a reality.

Millionaire Minds invest in themselves and grow their dreams.

These are the sample Mind Movies my friend sent me. They were developed by a song writer.

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, It Can Achieve “

Napoleon Hill, the author of “Think and Grow Rich”

“As you give love out, it’s received and reciprocated–and it grows. That’s the beauty of it. Love is energy. You can feed it to people, and they in turn feed it to others, and eventually it comes back.”

—Hill Harper

When I read this quote, I thought about The Millionaire Mind Support Network™. Just about a year and a half ago, we attended our first Millionaire Mind Intensive, built this website and developed the Millionaire Mind Intensive Directory.

The purpose of the Millionaire Mind Support Network™ Directory™ is to provide a venue for Millionaire Mind Intensive Graduates, to keep in touch with one another, to support each other’s businesses, and to give and receive support for our personal and professional growth.
Personally, I can attest that the support and “peer mentorship” I have received from my fellow Millionaire Mind Intensive has been life changing. I’ve learned that graduates of the Peak Potential courses, “show up — take action, and lead by example.”

Each of us left our Millionaire Mind Intensive experience having been exposed to a new paradigm. We experienced fresh insight into out belief systems — our money blueprints. We were able to identify some of the beliefs that have subtly or blatantly sabotaged our previous efforts to raise our personal financial thermostats. We came away with the understanding that multiple steams of passive and residual income are key to our financial freedom, We know that if we did not have a business, we needed to start one, and if we had one, we needed to restructure it to take full advantage of every opportunity to monetize every result producing activity.

The biggest gift of the Millionaire Mind Intensive experience is the many wonderful, supportive friendships we have developed amongst our fellow MMI participants. We have celebrated each other’s successes, stood in support as we faced challenges and have offered, and received unconditional love.

Attending the Millionaire Mind Intensive was a blessing which has brought positive change in our lives. The fall Millionaire Mind Intensive season has just started. Check the events calendar. Plan to attend again, and bring someone you love. It is the best use of time, energy and love you can give yourself and someone you care about.
Millionaire Minds send and receive loving energy.

Listening to “Media Talking Heads” and Group Thought Is Not Helpful

Well, we are nine days into October, and the media coverage of the imploding financial markets and the government’s response has taken some of the public for a jaw dropping stomach-churning ride.

Did anyone else hear Doug Nelson’s voice in the back of his or her mind? “How you do one thing, is how you do everything.” Approaching a negative dynamic with fear and panic is not a choice or belief we want to replicate in other aspects of our lives. We may not have a conscious choice about experiencing a given situation, but we have 100% control about how we think about and react to any given set of circumstances.

Millionaire Minds choose not to be ‘Victims’. Millionaire Minds do not cede their personal power to an outside circumstance. Now is the perfect time to pull your, “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” and read it cover to cover.

T. Harv Eker often reminds us that great fortunes are made in every downturn. Building, following and making mid-course corrections your MILLIONAIRE MIND plan is the path to your personal abundance. Over the course of the next year each of us will adjust our plan.

Your Inner Game of Wealth Game Plan

The important aspect of each mid-course adjustment is paying attention to your inner game of wealth.

• Be grateful for every blessing.
• Celebrate every win.
• Be willing to look at every situation differently.
• Look for problems and develop solutions — then monetize the solution.
• Join or start a Millionaire Mastermind Group. The unconditional support you receive from your mastermind group can make all the difference.
• Write or review your goals, adjust and read them every day.
• Write or review your vision statement, read it every day.
• Use creative visualization exercises to “see and feel” your end game.
• Pay attention to your finances, USE YOUR PROSPERITY JARS!
• Simplify your life.
• Pull out your 90-day “Millionaire Mind” 90-Day Wealth Conditioning Program and go through the whole program again.

“Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. “
— Miguel de Cervantes
Spanish playwright, poet and novelist of “Don Quixote”, first published in 1605,
since released in 700 editions and translated into every major language.

A Civil Thought, In Uncivil Times..

A fellow Millionaire Mind Intensive participant first introduced me to the work of Robert Tennyson Stevens, and his Language Mastery Systems.  There are a number of the Austin-based MMI graduates who have studied with Robert Tennyson Stevens. Personally, I have found his CD-based classes incredibly helpful in recognizing and correcting negative speaking and thinking patterns.  His teaching schedule brings Robert to the Dallas area about once a year. If you every have an opportunity to listen to one of his presentations, do so. You won’t find a better way to address some of the issues that are currently affecting your money blueprint. Robert’s contact information is included at the end of this post.

In a recent email T. Harv Eker said, “…poor and mediocre people, those reacting in fear and regressing to past unsupportive thoughts and behaviors, are falling behind, those of us who have developed our millionaire minds are leaping ahead. Simply put – we can’t control the markets, but we can control the way we react to them, and whether we prosper or lose.”

It has never been more important to continually develop your Millionaire Mindset. The following prayer/poem was sent out to the Mastery Systems email list with permission to pass it on to whomever we thought might find it a helpful focus in this pivotal point of American history.

Dear Conscious Ones,

I received this message from Millionaire Mind Intensive graduate, Nan Akasha this morning. I found it so profound, I wanted to share it with our Millionaire Mind Support Network™.

Many of you know Nan as Chris Sherrod’s beloved life partner. Those who have been lucky enough to hear her radio and pod casts, attend her classes or read any of her works recognize Nan as loving and wise soul and Law of Attraction Master.

Your Inner Voice is Whispering to you…

Are you listening?

Are you sure?

Put down that coffee, stop reading the news and 10 emails at once…take a deep breath, relax!

There is no rush, there is no goal line for life…

Want to feel peace? Stop arguing with reality!
Want to feel good and calm no matter what is happening?

Accept what is.

No, do not think this means you are giving up,
Don’t believe it means you condone what is,
or even like it, that is not the point….
You can have wants that are different than what you have now…

No, you are not letting go of life…
Just the opposite, you are going to enter and embrace it for the first time!

By not arguing, defending and justifying, you open the door to inner peace.

Not because you are giving up being the creator of your life, no not at all, in fact, you are going to get to feel and experience the real you, your true feelings, mmmmm

Let go of the thoughts that are always shouting
“why me” or “I have worked so long and hard,
I deserve this and why don’t I have it yet”…
let it go, it does not serve you, it makes you feel bad
and it keeps your abundance away, it always will,

Accept what is, and then in that peaceful, non resistant state,
you get to make choices for what you want, with clarity,
calm and power.

Stop arguing with reality…and open yourself to receive!!

Love and light,
Nan

Listen To You Inner Voice, Live Well and Prosper

This morning I contemplated the role Gratitude plays
in abundance and personal peace.

During the Millionaire Mind Intensive and in the follow-up 90-day Wealth Conditioning program, T. Harv Eker stressed the importance of acknowledging and recording what we have to be grateful for in our success logs. Many of ‘The Secret’ teachers stressed the very powerful the energy attached to thankfulness and its role in manifestation. In our creative visualizations we are encouraged to feel the blessing of attaining our life’s passion. These daily meditations are exercises of universal gratitude. Many of us express thanks daily, in the form of ‘Grace” before our meals.

We say thank you many times during our day as an automatic response. My personal quest this week is to be aware and meaningful when I say thank you. I want to feel my thanks, not just say thank you as a conversational habit. To understand and express gratitude is one of the ways we can nurture our ‘inner-game roots.’ The fruit of gratitude is very sweet. As you go through your week, smile, say and feel thank you as often as possible.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, and confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

~ Melody Beattie, Unity Chaplin

“The more gratefully we fix our minds on the Supreme when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come; and the reason simply is that the mental attitude of Gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come. If it is a new thought to you that Gratitude brings your whole mind into closer harmony with the creative energies of the universe, consider it well, and you will see that it is true.

“The good things you already have come to you along the line of obedience to certain laws. Gratitude will lead your mind out along the ways by which things come; and it will keep you in close harmony with creative thought and prevent you from falling into competitive thought.”

~The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles

This during this next week our thoughts will turn to gratitude and peace many times.

WEEKLY GRATITUDE ASSIGNMENT

Keep a journal of gratitude or peace. Gratitude is a steppingstone to inner peace. It
Is nearly impossible to feel upset and grateful or peaceful at the same time.
Count your blessings by keeping a gratitude journal, as recommended by Sarah
Ban Breathnach in Simple Abundance. Write down, either daily or weekly, everything for which you feel thankful. Record both the little and big things in your life and keep the journal up to date.

You may also choose to keep a peace journal. Write down the times you have felt
at peace during the day or week.

According to Wikipedia, the world’s favorite free encyclopedia.

“Gratitude is the substance of a heart ready to show appreciation, or thankfulness; it is not simply an emotion, which involves a pleasant feeling that can occur when we receive a favor or benefit from another person but rather the combination of a state of being and an emotion; often accompanied by a desire to thank them, or to reciprocate for a favor they have done for you.”

What does Gratitude mean to you?

How do you express gratitude in your daily life?

Do you have a practice or meditation that helps you anchor the feeling pf gratitude in your heart?

If so, please share it with the rest of the Millionaire Mind Support Network™ members.

9/11

Just saying, reading or hearing 9/11 triggers a maelstrom of emotion

— unbearable sadness, grief, loss, fierce anger, betrayal, bewilderment, pride, patriotism, and for some, acceptance, forgiveness and peace.

This year as I feel the memory of 9/11 in my body, I have some new insight that is helping me to experience 9/11 differently.

“Ho’oponopono is a profound gift that allows one to develop a working relationship with the Divinity within and learn to ask in each moment, our error in thought, word, deed or action to be cleansed. The process is essentially about freedom, complete freedom from the past.”

— Morrnah Nalamaku Simeon, Ho’oponopono Master Teacher

To find and eventually share the gift of peace, we must train ourselves to look within rather than judge without.

“Wouldn’t it be great if the world would just change?”
“What If people would become more compassionate and generous?”
“Why can’t they stop all this political double speak and conflict?”
“I just don’t know why they can’t just accept each other’s differences without blowing each other to kingdom come.”
The world would be at peace, if they would just work with each other and be more tolerant.”

The truth is we have no control over what “they” do. But we do have total control over how we behave in our world. It is not what happens to us that determines our peace of mind — it’s how we respond to life’s challenges.

We are our own peacemakers. Peacemakers live by the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” We create peace within our families by supporting one another, giving and seeking support, as it is needed. We give and receive unconditional love. We all give and receive these gifts right where we are, in our homes, offices, our neighborhoods and our communities through the way we live our lives and make decisions.

We can make a difference in the world though the gifts we give and receive.

The Gift Of Love

“Peace Begins with You: Creating Peace Within Ourselves and In Our World.”
This gift is the conscious choice to reveal the best in people, other living creatures and any part of nature. By helping us perceive the beauty that surrounds us, it relieves our self-consciousness and helps us uplift others and ourselves.

How to use the gift of love: Look for the good in other people. Watch them closely, and listen to them carefully to discover what will bring out the joy in them. Then remind them of the unique talents, experience or character qualities they already have that ensure they can have what they want. Give them vivid accounts of instances when they used those traits. Watch the light go on in their eyes.

The Gift Of Dreams

This gift enables us to focus on whatever inspires or uplifts us, letting us play a part in the creation of a better world as we form good intentions and carry them out.

Access your dreams: Ask…

What would make me happy?

Why would it make me happy, and why is it important to me?

How will it benefit other people… and how will I act toward others when I have it?

When do I want it to happen?

Where will my dream take me when it comes true?

The Gift Of Courage

This gift involves taking concrete action to help us achieve the object of our love and dreams. Answering the question, “What am I willing to try?” makes change exciting, rather than frightening. It takes an act of courage to completely release an old hurt and forgive and let go. It is a step into the unknown. The reward of courage is freedom.

The Gift Of Unity

This gift joins us with other like-minded spirits to achieve a shared vision. It asks, “Who can I help?” “Who can help me?” “What can we accomplish together.”

The Gift Of Joy

This gift lets us take pleasure in what we have created, showing us that we are not here just to survive but to satisfy our souls and inspire others to do the same. Start a journal in which you can unleash your joy for a few minutes every day. Answer the questions…

What is going right at this moment?

Why does it make me happy?

How can I best respond to it?

Smile, just because it feels good!

The Gift Of Trust

This gift is the internal radar system that aligns our thoughts and actions to help us grow and makes us feel bad whenever we think, say or do anything that could be harmful.

When you feel stressed, call on your sense of trust. Stop whatever you are doing. Close your eyes… ask yourself what you should do now… take several deep breaths … and listen to your intuition before you take action.

The Gift Of Character

This gift understands who we are now and who we want to be. It reminds us of our authentic self and unique role in the universe.

How to become what you want to be: List all the traits you do not want… then, line by line, make a second list with exactly the opposite traits. Destroy the first list, rewrite the second list, and for each good trait think of at least one person you know who possesses it. Ask yourself, “Which trait would serve me best now?” and picture how your role model would act. After a while, your new traits will become natural.

The Gift Of Thanks

This gift lets us bless what we have achieved with our other gifts. By saying “This is good,” we enjoy a feeling of contentment that also lets us pour positive energy into others, helping them to use their own gifts.

The Gift Of Intention

This gift is the ability to choose a new direction or return to an old one, regardless of current circumstances. It asks the questions, “What now?” and “What next?” When we remind ourselves that “It ain’t over until it’s over,” we can decide to leave the past behind or trade something good for something even better.

In the year ahead, until we reach our next 9/11, resolve to be the kind of person you wish the rest of the world would be. It’s the greatest gift you can give yourself, our world and those we remember on this day.

This Blog was inspired by the sermons of Rev. Margee Grounds, Rev. Diane Brandenburg, Dr. Joe Vitale and the work of Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona

Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Changing our world for the better begins with us, right now, today.

In Love and Gratitude,
Sandi
