Think and Grow Rich

There is this famous motivational book called "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.

Maybe you have heard and even read it a few times before. Call me being shadow, for this is the first time I have heard of this book.

The book is famous because I read that many top entrepreneurs, business owners and sales marketers have read the book. There are a lot of principles which can be easily practised and reflected upon. After all, as I have write many times, its your mental conditioning to success that matters. Too often, normal people severely lack the mental conditioning for success.

Let me give you a link to download this book in pdf format. Think and Grow Rich.

"Think and Grow Rich" is the Millionaires Bible. Don't read it at your own risk.

A Rush to Blog

Away from the topic of Marie Callas and spirituality for a while...

I received an invite from my sister about this latest thingy in blogging world called BlogRush. It was just launched apparently by an Internet expert John Reese and BlogRush is said to have exploded exponentially all of the sudden.

I have learned a lot over the last few months about blog traffic and you just need to look at its Alexa to see the amount of traffic hitting BlogRush suddenly.

It works like a MLM scheme and if you refer more people to BlogRush, your blog will gain more traffic. The concept sounds cool and novel and traffic is the lifeline of every serious blogger hence you can see the sudden interest in this site.

It is very simple to do. Just sign up and optionally refer some bloggers. Next paste the widget script to your blog and then save it. When you refresh your blog, you'll see that it will pull out posts of other bloggers who blog about the same genre and topic as you. For example, my blog will mainly show up posts about spirituality.

So try BlogRush out and you may find your blog has increased traffic!

Malaysia Day

Hope you had a great weekend just like I did.

Yesterday was 16th September and do Malaysians out there understand the importance of this date?

Yes, it was Malaysia Day. A day in which Sabah and Sawarak formally joined the Federation of Malaysia. It should be on equal status with Merdeka Day.

Wiki of Malaysia Day.

Self, Soul, Spirit and Source

Just for a divine thought..maybe this is too serious for a relaxing weekend? :P

Self - the thought of 'I'/ ego/ personality

Soul - the essence of the individuation of spiritual energy that makes you uniquely you, ... the consciousness, ...but more than the concept of self. The true representation of the individuation that has no masks. I think we can hold on to this as long as we want to.

Spirit - the facet of creative energy that is the essence of your being, ... that which is cloaked in the soul and self.

Source - (Divine Spirit/ God) - the creative energy that is all/everyone/everything ... the primal essence/ source of life/ existence, collectively.

Predictions anyone?

Sometimes when numbers appear in your dreams, people think those numbers are the lucky numerical given to you from your God. Those are prediction numbers that could prove decisive in your weekend's lottery game. Not just numbers, can be anything, any signs or any images in your dreams. You may find one day those images will appear in real before your eyes and that will give you a sense of familiarity.

Recently, I dream about waiting near a durian tree feverishly for the fruits to drop. A few days later, you know what, I was eating durians at a road side stall, courtesy of a treat from a mate!

So I like to ask , do you have any predictions that you would like to share? I thought it would be fun to do this and see how many turn out to be accurate.

Telepathic

Some people believe in supernatural stuff but some people are not convinced by those related phenomenon due to the lack of scientific proof. There are reports that when supernatural occurs, the magnetic interference nearby is more acute than normal. But are these changes in magnetic field able to tell us anything?

But I do believe in telepathy - an invisible linking between two people. A blink of an eye or a smile will tell the other person what he is thinking or intend to do. These understandings are often extremely accurate, haven't you heard the football commentator saying "telepathic understanding" during a match?

In my life I have met a couple of interesting people from Indian temple here and they are said to be mildly telepathic - they were very interesting, they could send and receive, very impressive, very cool. That was a really cool experience. Can you send thoughts out? Do you think people receive them?

Have you ever called someone and they said, I picked up the phone and I knew it was you. Or have you ever picked up the phone and instinctively or intuitively known who it was on the other line before you pick it up? I think we have all had this experience at one time or another.

Believe and action

More motivational stuff from me inspired by Marie Callas :)

If you think that you will never get what you want in life or you think that you will never reach to the height of someone, you are essentially telling yourself that you will not achieve that.

Too many times I have heard this, either during friendly conversations or if you notice more, media interviews.

"I would like to try but I don't think I have the talents for that as I'm not someone-someone-someone."

Let's analyse.

This person wishes to do something special fervently. He/she has been dreaming of it all the time for a long time. He/she has a role model who is one of the best in the business. First of all, "try" is a very unassuming half-hearted word to use for something as solemn as your goal. It means no confidence in yourself. Use the word "do" instead. There is a lot of difference, mind you. He/she is not sure whether to go for it or not and the worse is he/she degrades her/his own ability in doing that when compared to their role model. The whole sentence is very negatively worded that gives a depressing tone. If you have this type of friend, advice your friend, or, get away from such friend if you can't convince.

Positively, it should be:

"I would like to do it successfully and I know I have as much talent to do as well as someone-someone-someone."

Now it gets your mind spinning how to get it done. You have started to think and plan for your goal. Your subconscious mind will also work in favour of you. In turn your actions will change, and you start manifesting more and more of what you want.

Remember, change your mind to believe, then follow up with actions.
