I am working with a concept, i don't fully understand how it works but hey let's give it a shot. Entertain this thought for one second, just one second - what if, just what if our limiting beliefs are not the biggest barrier? "huh!" you say. "mario, then what would it be?"
we will get back to this.
What if reading personal development books WITHOUT KNOWING why you are reading them will NOT lead you to overcoming your barriers? I am sure you are witness to a multitude of people who read books, attend seminars and do their affirmations for 20 years and are still stuck, aaaaaaaah!!!!!!! what is going on here? what is going on here? ask yourself this question and ponder it and your answer will be eye opening, might i add.
Let's use an example. You have a tap and a bucket. We know that behind the tap is a never ending supply of water. Let's just say for fun that the tap had self limiting beliefs which we helped the tap get rid of. Now the tap has nothing but expansive beliefs. Key question, will the bucket receive the water if we don't turn the tap open to ALLOW the water to flow? Just an analogy.
Maybe you don't like me humanizing a tap. So let's use another example. Air is around you in absolute abundance. ALL you have to do is breathe. What happens if you don't breathe, if you lock your lungs shut, what happens? ha ha you die. All because you refused to LET the air in. Now if you read all the personal development texts in the world, attended all the seminars and turned your car into a university on wheels WOULD YOU LIVE if you refused to breathe. I don't know, what do you think?
Where am i leading with this? here is something that no matter how many times i think about it, i can't get to the bottom of it. Behind EVERYTHING, i mean EVERYTHING is the Divine Power which is LAW. It is there even though you don't see it. It is trying to express itself through you to help you manifest let's say wealth. But you as smart as you are, UNCONSCIOUSLY DECIDE to block this force from operating through you. When you do, you manifest poverty and everything seems like an uphill battle. So many obstacles. Huh! Are you thinking with me yet. This is a spiritual matter which requires spiritual discernment. Which takes us back to the question. Is it about eliminating limiting beliefs or is it about DISCOVERING the truth and ALLOWING the Divine to flow through us?
Next question - is it about reading a lot of personal development texts like a wandering generality or is it about being a meaningful specific in CHOOSING to read the texts that strive to reveal to us the ABSOLUTE link and connection to the ALL which has always being and how to learn how to ALLOW IT to flow through us and EXPRESS itself in all we desire.
The biggest barrier to living our full potential is that WE HAVE CLOSED THE TAP WHICH IS THE CONDUIT FOR THE FLOW OF THE DIVINE THROUGH US TO OBJECTIFY INTO WHAT WE ALL KNOW AS THE PHYSICAL REALM. WE HAVE SEPARATED OURSELVES. UNTIL WE REUNITE TO THE SOURCE WE SHALL LIVE A LIFE OF QUIET DESPERATION.......7 months ago- Bonnie Sainsbury likes this.

He is beaming with bullet proof self confidence. He can finally look into his soul and say "i love you self".
He was so so so lost but the bigger problem was that he didn't know he was lost.
The world lied to him. They told him that a man's worth was measured by the size of his pocket book.
So he went out and made a load of money, but when he looked in the mirror he didn't love hisself. Why? because his mental closet was dirtier than the water found in the Kenya village he hails from. So he went to work on hisself to purify hisself and discover his authentic soul. Now he doesn't hide his light under the bushel but let's it shine. Wow!!!!!! he discovered a man takes his own measure of hisself by how much he approves of hisself, how much he accepts hisself, how much he loves hisself completely and unreservedly regardless of his imperfections and defects.
He looks into the mirror, he doesn't recognize hisself. Why? because finally he loves hisself. It's been painful shedding his old self but he fiiiiiiinally loves hisself now.
The world lied to him. They told him that his confidence is determined by the shape of his body. So he got a membership and hit the gym. Day in day out, day in day out, day in day out - he crafted the body of a greek god. But when he looked in the mirror he still didn't love hisself. Wow!!!!!!! whats going on here? Yes, yes, yes, his brain was more filthier than Chris's backseat. His low self esteem had him driving through life with his hands on the break. What's going here? there is more to this than just 6 pack abs. So he went to work on hisself to dust the filth with a rag of self acceptance and a dose of critical thinking on the origin of his ugly (eeeeeeeuuuuuuuh!!!!!!) hate for hisself.
Guess what? Now he looks in the mirror and he doesn't recognize hisself. He overcame his lack of self confidence. With nothing to hide he now looks at you directly in your eyes as you conversate. Yes his soul shows in his eyes, he has nothing to hide
The world lied to him. They told him that he is supposed to conform and fit in. He is not supposed to raise dust. He is not supposed to speak his truth. He is not supposed to let the world know what he thinks just incase they don't agree with him and bar his road to success. Bullshit!!!!!!! Success has always been a result the inner treasures one discovers from within and let's flow through him to the world to satisfy man's needs and wants - A Value for Value exchange.
As he sat down yesterday he reflected on the death of Steve Jobs, a man who let his life be a symbol of letting the light shine. It is funny how the death of one man is the beginning of inspiration in the the life of another man. What did he learn from Steve? You gotta let your life be a testament of what you are all about.
God gave him the voltage, he goes to that true spot in his heart every day, he is always him, he stays true to him for better or for worse. He looks in the mirror and looks into his own soul, yes it's still there. He hasn't sold it to please anyone other than himself. Yes selfishness is truly a virtue. To love oneself and put one's development above EVERYTHING in life is the essence of true living. He takes care of himself for your own sake. So you take care of yourself for his own sake.
This morning as he looked into the mirror, he didn't recognize himself. 3 years ago he went to work on himself and 3 years later himself has worked on him. He is finally ready for whatever. His spirit knew this all along, it was just waiting for him to catch on. Nothing will stop the spirit of a man who has discovered his inner connection to the source of his sustenance, the ONE MIND. He believes in self, he believes in the source, he puts his faith in God and goes hard for his dreams; who do youuuuuuu believe in?!!!!!!!!
He rises up the flames, stakes his claim, he practices the mantra "beeeeeee a man!!!!!!!" no more paaaaaaain.......

The closer we are to Divinity, the nearer we are to the limitless source of things. When we feel strongest, when we feel conscious of the power which is back of the flesh, but not of it, when we feel that we are in touch with Divinity, our power is greater and our supply larger.
Every time a man does wrong he weakens himself by so much. Every time we do wrong, every time we depart from the truth, every time we commit a dishonest, unworthy act, do a mean, contemptible thing, we lessen the Omnipotent grip upon us, and then we become a party to all sorts of fears, apprehensions, dreads, and doubts.
The moment we feel conscious that our union with the Great Source of things is broken, we are filled with uncertainty and apprehension; we feel a sense of helplessness, which makes us weak, timid, apprehensive. Fear, anxiety, worry, are positive evidence that we have lost our divine connection and strayed from home, that we are out of tune with the Infinite, and in discord with principle.
The very idea of persistently holding the thought that one is divinely upheld, the thought that no harm can possibly come to you while you are thus ensconced in the Divine Presence destroys all fear and worry; restores confidence, and multiples power.7 months ago- Bonnie Sainsbury likes this.

Fear in all its different phases of expression, such as worry, anxiety, anger, jealousy, timidity, is the greatest enemy of the human race. It has robbed men of more happiness and efficiency, has made more men cowards, more people failures or forced them into mediocrity, than anything else.
Fear is a great robber of power. It paralyzes the thinking faculties, ruins spontaneity, enthusiasm, and self-confidence. It has a blighting effect upon all one's thoughts, moods, and efforts. it destroys ambition and efficiency.
No matter what your need is, put it into the hands of faith. Do not ask how or why or when. Just do your level best, and have faith, which is the great miracle worker of the ages.
Chronic worriers are always deficient in faith.
The secret of achievement is concentration. Worry or fear of any kind is fatal to mental concentration and kills creative ability. When the whole mental organism is vibrating with conflicting emotions, efficiency is impossible. The things which makes us prematurely old, which wrinkle our faces, take the elasticity out of our step, the bloom from the cheek, and which rob us of joy are not those which actually happen.
Fear benumbs initiative. It kills confidence and causes indecision, makes us waver, afraid to begin things, suspect and doubt. Fear is a great leak in power. There are plenty of people who waste more than half of their precious energy in useless worry and anxiety.
Our sense of fear or terror is always in proportion to our sense of weakness or inability. When conscious of being stronger than that which terrorizes weaker persons, we have no sense of fear.7 months ago- Bonnie Sainsbury and Ron Goyette like this.

How can you expect to get the maximum of efficiency when worry, fear, anxiety, discouragement, or melancholy are sapping twenty-five, fifty, or seventy-five per cent of your mental energy? You must clear the mind of its enemies; otherwise you pay the penalty in exhausted vitality, in wasted energy.
Every time you feel fear coming into your mind, shut it out as quickly as possible and apply the antidote - fearlessness, assurance. Picture yourself as absolutely fearless. Say to yourself, "I am no coward. Cowards fear and cringe and crawl but I am a man. Fear is a child's frailty. It is not for grown-ups. I positively refuse to stoop to such a degrading thing. Fear is an abnormal mental process and I am normal. Fear can not influence me, for I will not harbor it. I will not allow it to cripple my career."

His self-respect demands that he should get out of such an environment. It is his duty to put himself in a position of dignity and independence where he will not be liable at any moment to be a burden to his friends in case of sickness or other emergencies, or where those depending on him may suffer.
Prosperity begins in the mind and is impossible with a mental attitude which is hostile to it. We can not attract opulence mentally by a poverty-stricken attitude which is driving away what we long for. We must think prosperity before we can come to it.
Our circumstances in life, our financial condition, our poverty or our wealth, our friends or lack of them, our condition of harmony or discord, are all very largely the offspring of our thought.
Success comes through a perfectly scientific mental process. The man who becomes prosperous believes that he is going to be prosperous. He has faith in his ability to make money. He does not start out with his mind filled with doubts and fears, and all the time talk poverty and think poverty, walk like a pauper and dress like a pauper. He turns his face towards the thing he is trying for and is determined to get, and will not admit its opposite picture in his mind.
The man who expects prosperity is constantly creating money in his mind, building his financial structure mentally. There must be a mental picture of the prosperity first; the building around it is comparatively easy.
To be prosperous we must put ourselves in the prosperous attitude. We must think opulently, we must feel opulent in thought; we must exhale confidence and assurance in our very bearing and manner. Our mental attitude towards the thing we are striving for and the intelligent effort we put forth to realize it, will measure our attainment.
The man who would succeed must think success, must think upward. He must think progressively, creatively, constructively, inventively, and, above all, optimistically.
The mental attitude which we hold toward our work or our aim has everything to do with what we accomplish.
Many positive minds become negative by influences which destroy their self-confidence. They gradually lose faith in themselves.
The whole philosophy of efficiency and happiness consist in the vigorous, consistent affirmation of the thing we are trying to be, and trying to do.7 months ago -
