Chasing the Wind
For a picture of overwhelming despair, look no further than Ecclesiastes:
So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors under the sun? All his days his work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is meaningless.
A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? (Eccl. 2:17-25)
So goes the logic of hopelessness. But because of God, despair is not the only option. Jesus was tested. God knows our pain. Struggles abound; they surround us. But the Spirit is with us, and we can choose despair or hope. Our "no" to God leads to despair. We can say "yes" to God and know peace.
So we glory in the words of Jesus:
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

BREAK OUT OF THE LOOP OF STRUGGLE
QUOTE FOR TODAY:
The loop of struggle is voluntary. Whether you stay in it or not depends on the choices you make. If you follow the advice of voluntary strugglers and do what your parents tell you to (if they poorly manage their money and think that life is a struggle), then you will stay in this loop of struggle.
To break out of it means making some unconventional (as it will seem to many) choices in your life so that you would not end up like everyone else. These choices will make some people call you irresponsible and unwilling to grow up, but it’s your life and if you don’t want to end up like the masses, you might as well follow such advice.
So here is the main advice that will help you break out of the loop of struggle no matter how bad your situation might be.
Distance yourself from voluntary strugglers and be with progress makers
If your friends and family are voluntary strugglers, every single day you absorb their limiting views of the world and their false understanding about all important things in life such as money, success and happiness. If you don’t want to have the same life as they do, you should change your friends or at least partially distance yourself from the impact of voluntary strugglers. You should start being with progress makers because they will motivate you, make you believe in yourself and encourage you to achieve your goals.
Read books written by progress makers and study their mindset. You should reach a point where you are more influenced by progress makers than by voluntary strugglers.
Don’t get into any debts until you earn enough to buy things for cash.
Getting into debt is not a sin, but it keeps you in the struggle loop because it gets you out of the flow of effortless abundance. When you borrow from a person or an institution, you lower yourself to them. You as though become a slave to them because you place your security in their hands. That’s not how it’s supposed to be because we are all equal.
To receive more money, you shouldn’t ask for it from someone else. To receive money, you should give money first. I know it seems a strange way of thinking but that’s because we are taught the wrong rules about money which lead to the loss of freedom and debt. To never see the lack of money you have to get into the abundance mindset and leave the scarcity mindset. That means thinking in a completely different way than the majority of people do.
Have as little responsibilities as possible
You shouldn’t take on new responsibilities until you really know that you can handle all of them on your own. This means buying a house when you can really afford it and not when you qualify for the mortgage. This means having kids when you are financially secure and not when you can barely make the ends meet. I know that it feels nice to have your own place, but if you take out the mortgage, you are going to get into debt for life (or most of it anyway). That means loss of freedom until you die or for at least 20 or 30 years. So it’s a big price to pay for a house.
I know it’s much easier to do what most people do – have kids, get mortgage, get married. But if you are not ready, you are just enslaving yourself.
Don’t be like everyone else – break out of this horrible loop. Don’t get a mortgage and don’t have kids if you are not ready for such responsibilities. Create financial freedom first, travel, enjoy the world and see what it has to offer you.
Don’t settle down for less than what you want. Reach for your goals and focus on the achievements of others so that they would motivate you to achieve great things in life. Look away from those that are enslaved by the loop of struggle.
Reduce your expenses to experience freedom.
The less expenses you have, the more free you will feel. There are, however, two schools of thought on this subject. One says (e.g. R. Kiyosaki) that you should not reduce your expenses but focus on building assets. I completely understand this concept and it makes sense, however it can take years for your assets to be able to cover your large expenses. The other way of thinking (e.g. Bob Proctor) worked for me much better. It teaches that you should reduce your expenses as much as possible to create more freedom for yourself.
When you significantly reduce your expenses, more opportunities will show themselves to you and you will have more options. You will see that it’s really possible to start your own business to cover your small expenses and to quit the 9-5 slavery. You will also realise that you don’t have to live in one place all your life – you can move somewhere else if you feel like it because it’s your life and you can do whatever you want with it.
The less expenses you will have, the more in control of your life you will get. So only keep the expenses that are vital. Keep only those that would significantly reduce the quality of your life or would make you miserable.
Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.
Albert Einstein
The loop of struggle is voluntary. Whether you stay in it or not depends on the choices you make. If you follow the advice of voluntary strugglers and do what your parents tell you to (if they poorly manage their money and think that life is a struggle), then you will stay in this loop of struggle.

RAISE YOUR STANDARD (1)
QUOTE FOR TODAY:
The majority of people have very low standards in life therefore they don’t achieve much. They don’t dream big because they think it’s unrealistic. So they only expect to have an average life and average life they get.
It’s easy to see how much the person will achieve in life by looking at his standards. If the person hopes to someday own a second-hand car, that shows that he has low standards. Such poor standards will never allow him to see any opportunities for buying a new car.
Settling down for the second best should never be anyone’s goal. Everyone can and is entitled to get only the best, yet because most people don’t raise their standards, they keep experiencing average stuff in their lives.
Raising standards means refusing to accept something that is not what you want. That should by no means be interpreted as pushing against that which you don’t want, because that will keep you stuck forever. It only means that you no longer agree to tolerate something that you’re not satisfied with and you focus on and demand better conditions. It means burning bridges to distance yourself from the average life and reaching for the better life.
Raising standards means distancing yourself from the people you no longer resonate with and being open to more enriching relationships.
Raising standards means quitting your job and focusing on building your own business to experience real freedom.
Raising standards means moving out of the environment you never liked and having courage to move into much more pleasant surroundings.
Raising standards means refusing to buy cheap stuff that makes you feel average.
Raising standards means being able to say “no” when you want and not feel guilty about it.
Raising standards means knowing your worth and refusing to settle down for things that don’t appeal to you.
I raised my standards by refusing to work for someone else. I didn’t care if that would mean having no money for some time, I just couldn’t put up with being someone’s slave anymore. To me, working for someone else meant loss of freedom and being used as a tool for someone else to succeed. Life eventually gave me what I was asking for – it always does, just some people don’t wait long enough to receive what they asked for.
I get a lot of emails from people asking me for advice for one particular problem – they do everything right, yet nothing seems to change. They visualise, they think positively and do all the other stuff that is necessary to improve their lives, yet things remain exactly as they were. So here’s my solution to this problem: you need to give some time for everything to change. Nothing can change instantly in your environment when you start thinking positively. Give some time and you will definitely get what you demand.
Anyone who succeeds in whatever they pursue do so because they refuse to accept less than what they want. For example, R. Kiyosaki (self-made millionaire) absolutely refused to work for someone else.
If you haven’t read his first book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, you definitely should, especially if you want to work for yourself.
He and his wife were even on the streets once, yet they still continued to build their own business. Then they lived in the basement of their friend’s house (as far as I remember), but they still refused to work for someone else.
They also tithed and paid themselves first whenever they earned some money. They refused to give all their money to pay bills – they tithed and paid themselves first, and only then paid their bills. It was really tough but they continued to build their own business, tithe and save. And finally both of them became extremely successful.
Here’s what lowers your standards:
Fearing when the next bill arrives.
Giving up when some difficulty presents itself.
Letting other people decide how you live your life.
Accepting your situation and doing nothing to change it if it’s not what you really want.
Being in a relationship with a person who is not worthy of you.
Settling down for the average out of the fear of the unknown.
Accepting the second best.
Allowing others to treat you with disrespect.
Self-Esteem Issue
People who have low standards have low self esteem. If you have low self esteem, you’re not going to naturally demand the best, because you will not feel worthy of it. So to have high standards in life you should firstly have high self esteem.
You develop high self esteem when you stop listening to what others have to say about your life and start making decisions yourself. When you do that, you understand that people are so confused and almost all of them have low self-esteem too.
This happens because when you start making your own decisions, people will start asking you for advice and they will consider you to be a better decision maker than they are. So then you will realise that people don’t really trust their own capabilities in making good decisions because they have poor opinion about themselves.
Most people have the same amount of knowledge as you do. So you shouldn’t think that others know more about life. Yet many people think that others know more and those people think they know more than them. I know this sounds a bit unclear so here’s the picture to illustrate this thought:
I too used to think that others knew more than I did. I used to listen to others no matter if their opinions resonated with me or not – somehow I thought they knew more. How wrong I was!
People with low self esteem lower your self-esteem (if you let them) because they cannot notice your worth if they don’t recognise their own worth. If you didn’t understand the previous sentence straight away, read it again – you will get more insight into the human nature. This understanding should enable you to disregard the remarks and opinions of others about how you should live your life.
When you make your own decisions, you become more and more assured about your abilities and you start appreciating yourself more. And this makes your self-esteem rise. This also develops your leadership skills.

How To Recognize and Get Rid Of Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs serve as filters of your reality. You see the reality in a different way than others because you have different beliefs than other people. The same situation is viewed differently by different people. That's why the situation that you find funny might be completely depressing to others.
We form beliefs because they simplify our lives. If you, for example, got burnt by a hot stove, next time when the stove is hot you won't touch it because you believe that you will get burnt. This is the example of a positive belief that simplifies your life and protects you.
However, when you get a limiting belief, your life loses its richness because you are not able to perceive it correctly. For example, if you got hurt in a relationship and you start believing that all men/women are the same, this belief will not allow you to see men/women that do not fit into your belief system.
Many people mistakenly look at the world and think that what they see is the real world. However limiting beliefs color their lives in the way that is only true to them. It's very hard for such people to understand that the life that they perceive is only so because of their limiting beliefs.
How To Recognize Limiting Beliefs
You can notice your own negative beliefs when you catch yourself saying things such as:
"Life is ..."
"I am a ... person"
"Earning money is ..."
"I cannot do this because ..."
If you find yourself repeating some kind of phrase all the time, you should realise that it's a belief that you have. If the belief is positive, for example, you keep repeating how lucky you are, you should not touch it because it serves you. However, if you find yourself repeating disempowering or negative statements such as “I am a loser”, you should change such belief.
You should also understand that your every opinion and the way you see the world is so because of your beliefs. If you don't like something, it means you have some kind of limiting belief about that thing. If you find something depressing, this is so because of your beliefs.
Some of the beliefs are hard to discover because they were formed at a very young age. Some of your beliefs were taken from your parents and they no longer serve you, however they keep filtering your experiences their own way because you fail to notice and eliminate them.
No matter how long you had some belief for, you can always eliminate it because your active beliefs are in your conscious mind. They can be hidden under so looking innocent thoughts (for example, “He thinks that only because of his fancy car he can show off” is a hidden belief about money), but such beliefs can still be uncovered by analysing thoughts as such.
So to uncover your negative beliefs you have to pay attention to your daily thoughts and if some thought is negative, ask yourself why you think in such a negative way. This will uncover your belief.
Try to also remember what your parents used to say to you in the areas that you are struggling with. If, for example, you have difficulties with money, maybe your parents used to say phrases such as “Money is hard to earn”, “Money doesn't grow on trees” or “I cannot afford this”. It may take some time to uncover your beliefs, but it will be time well spent. The quality of your life depends on it. Spend some time now uncovering and eliminating them and you will improve your life experience to a great extent.
How To Get Rid Of Limiting Beliefs
Once you uncover some of your negative beliefs, write them down and read them aloud. If, whilst reading some statement, you get a negative feeling in your solar plexus (the area above the stomach), it means that you have just uncovered an active limiting belief that is affecting your life experience.
Now you should understand that you are not a child anymore and that you have a free will. You can choose whether to keep such belief or to eliminate it. It is up to you. Simply say to yourself that you no longer choose to belief in this and that from now on you will look for the evidence that would show that the contrary to your belief is true.
Also, you should start affirming and believing in the belief which is opposite to your limiting belief. You should have faith that the opposite belief is true and that it will color your life experience in a much richer way than the previous belief.
For example, if you used to think “It's impossible for me to earn a lot of money”, you should now affirm “I find it easy to earn large amounts of money”. Whenever you earn money, affirm that this is the evidence of your new belief.
Keep in mind that you believe something to be true because of the “facts” that seem to support such belief. For example, if you believe that you are unlucky, you look for the “facts” that prove you to be unlucky. But by doing so you miss out on the facts that show that this is not the case. So if you believe that you are unlucky, you will only see the facts that support this belief. To change your beliefs, open your mind and start searching for the facts that deny them.
If you have some kind of limiting belief that was transferred to you by your parents, you should not blame them for that. Your parents didn't know that their beliefs were limiting and affected your life experience. They did what they thought was best and they shouldn't be held responsible for who you are today.
You have an absolute freedom to choose the way you want to live and you can choose your own beliefs and ways to behave. You should hold responsible only yourself for the person you have become. If you give this responsibility to others, you lose the power to change your life. And that's not a wise choice to make.
When you fully take responsibility for your own self and forgive parents and other people that you used to hold anger/resentment towards, your limiting beliefs that were transferred to you will dissolve. All you will need to do then is keep reaffirming the opposite beliefs and look for their manifestations.

HOW TO REACH HIGH LEVEL OF SELF-AWARENESS (2)
The breakthrough
It is impossible to reach higher levels of awareness by searching for the answers outside of yourself. All the answers that you will ever need is inside you. You can become aware of better living and how to achieve better results only by visualisation and by properly using your other mental faculties.
When you visualise some goal that you want to achieve, your whole body moves into the vibration of that goal. Because of the change in your vibration you are able to pick up ideas and thoughts of a higher level of awareness.
That's how inspiration comes to you when you visualise something. It is your unconscious mind making you aware of how to achieve that goal. The ideas that your unconscious mind sends to you are vitally important for the achievement of your goal.
For example, if you are living in a small house in a bad part of the town it means that you are not aware of how to afford a larger house in a better part of the town. For you to be able to live in a better house you need to visualise yourself already living there. If you keep visualising it, your conscious mind will soon transfer this vision into your subconscious mind and the subconscious mind will give you ideas about how to get your desire. You will pick up on those ideas and you will take an appropriate action to achieve your goal.
A rough ride If you expect a smooth transition from where you are to where you want to be I have bad news for you. You must get some (maybe even many) failures along the way. This is because of your comfort zone, and also because you have introduced new vibration into your subconscious mind.
So now you have new and old (your old conditioning) vibration going on in your subconscious mind. That will cause all sorts of confusion for you, it will seem that everything is going wrong. But you should understand that this is happening only because big changes are taking place in your subconscious mind and it is adjusting to the new vibration you introduced.
The bigger the goal you set for yourself, the bigger obstacles you will need to overcome. But never fear any failures, always have faith that you will achieve your goal and that will let you overcome all the obstacles that will appear in front of you.
What happens when you reach higher levels of awareness
When you raise your vibration and reach higher awareness level, you will notice some changes in yourself and the outer world. You will manifest your desires much quicker and you will be more centered. You will react to the outer world in a less dramatic way and you will suffer from no or little mood swings. In general, you will become a much more understanding, happy and peaceful person.
When you manage to reach a higher awareness level, your life will change in many ways. You may start new relationships and end old ones and you may decide to do something different with your life. The quality of your life will improve greatly and that will encourage you to further raise your awareness.

6 MINUTES TO SUCCESS
I am often asked to review all kinds of products on my website. However I am very picky as to which ones I can recommend to my readers.
I chose to review the “6 Minutes To Success” mentoring program because of these reasons:
* The program is led and created by Bob Proctor whom I highly respect because of his ability to lead people to the accomplishment of their biggest goals
* The program is affordable to everyone, in fact it is the lowest priced coaching-type program that Bob Proctor offers
* I got access to look inside the program and I can assure you that it is packed with information that will change your life
What the program is about
The purpose of this coaching-type program is to make you financially free. However the lessons you will receive can be applied not only to your finances, but to all areas of your life be it love, health or happiness.
Bob Proctor, the creator of this program, runs an annual coaching program which costs $12 000 per head, however he realised that there are many people who would love to be coached by him but don't have such sum to pay upfront. So he set up this coaching program and he charges only $1.30 per day and the first week he offers for free.
Bob Proctor made thousands of people millionaires. You can see many of their testimonials here. I can assure you that all the testimonials are genuine and most people who left recommendations for him are now well known in their fields. Just google some of their names and you will see.
As an example I can give you Jack Canfield, the author of the best selling series “Chicken Soup For The Soul”, and Gerry Robert, the author of the best selling book “The Millionaire Mindset”.
Bob Proctor conducts seminars all over the world. He himself was coached by extremely successful people including Earl Nightingale.
Inside the program
When you sign up for “6 Minutes To Success” you instantly get the first video with steps towards your financial independence. You are not charged for 7 days so you can check if the videos provide enough value for your money.
Five days per week you receive a different video explaining important subjects such as how to become financially free, how to set goals and what steps to take to achieve your goals. In the video you will also be given some task to carry out that day. Day by day you will get more and more knowledge that will lead you to the achievement of your goals.
This program is not only for people who want to achieve bigger wealth. You can have any goal you want, the process he uses can be applied to all aspects of your life because the information you will learn will raise your awareness.
As soon as you sign up for the program you get free bonus mp3s (currently 13 running for around 40 minutes each). Each audio message is worth $14.95 and you get 13 of them for nothing. You also get free PDF bonus reads. I listened to some of the bonus mp3s and take it from me, they change your mind about how you thought about money and goal achievement. You cannot help but say “Wow. That was powerful”.
I especially liked the mp3 about MSI (multiple streams of income) where Bob Proctor explains in detail about how to create MSIs and gives many examples of possible income streams. I also liked the mp3 about the terror barrier. He explains how to overcome the terror that holds you from success. The bonus mp3 and PDF files are instantly available as soon as you sign up for the program. Remember you have 7 free days.
You can cancel this program at any time by clicking “Cancel” link in your account and you will never be charged again.
I think this program speaks for itself but you can read much more about it here.
Final thoughts
If you seriously want to succeed, this program is definitely for you. It will give you daily motivation to never take your eyes off your goal. It will provide you with all the necessary knowledge for you to double or triple your income in less than a year.
You, of course, will need to work towards your goals too. This program is designed in a way that you will learn the information provided and then you will have to apply the information in your real life. However if you apply what you learn in this program you will most certainly achieve even the biggest goals that you set for yourself.
Don't wait for your life to pass you by. Make the most of it! You have nothing to lose.

QUOTE FOR TODAY - The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who intense football gamelook on and do nothing. - Albert Einstein
HOW TO REACH HIGH LEVEL OF SELF-AWARENESS (1)
There are many levels of awareness, from self-conscious to the oneness awareness.
You can determine if you are on high or low level of awareness by the results you are getting in life.
The better results you are getting, the higher your level of awareness is. If you want to get better results but cannot do that, it means that you are not aware of how you can achieve them.
Therefore by raising your level of awareness you will gain understanding of how to achieve better quality of life.
The only way to raise your level of awareness is by visualisation and by using mental faculties because this way you move to higher vibration and therefore attract things that are of higher vibration.
Going in circles
People usually want to have better results in life but they have no idea how to get them. They search for information in their external world and they get frustrated because it seems to them that they are going in circles, and they are.
They get the same results because they do not use their mental faculties. All they do is let their five basic senses guide them. So they operate on the same awareness level and cannot break through to higher awareness levels.
Now when I am writing about this, I remember that I experienced exactly the same. When my level of awareness was low, I kept searching for ways to work from home, and all I could find were the work from home scams.
This perfectly illustrates the fact that if your awareness is low you will only find knowledge and opportunities that are on the same awareness level.
However when I stopped searching for the answers in the external world and started really thinking of what I want to become, I started finding books and seminars that helped me to successfully start my first successful business.
So instead of looking for answers outside, use your mental faculties to gain knowledge because that's the only way you can progress in life.
Your mental faculties
In "Think and Grow Rich" Napoleon Hill mentions six faculties that you have to develop for you to achieve success. They are vitally important because they will give you all the tools you need to achieve any goal you want.
Successful people have highly developed mental faculties and they trust them more than the five basic senses that they have.
These faculties are:
1.Reason
Your reasoning faculty enables you to think. And by thinking I do not mean react, but really think. Use your own head and always think before accepting any opinions as truth. Think of the goals you really desire rather than those that someone else thinks would be good for you.
Masses are controlled by media and if you want to achieve better results, don't let the media control you. Don't watch negative information because what you watch will very likely determine what vibration you emanate and therefore what level of awareness you are on.
It is very unlikely that you will find any programme on TV or radio that would raise your consciousness level, so there is no point in spending your time this way. All they can do is lower your consciousness level. You are better off reading self-help books and articles that help you understand how to improve your life.
2.Will
Will is the ability to continuously direct your energy into one purpose. That's the best way I can describe it.
You can develop your will by looking at an object for a long period of time and not letting any thoughts let your mind wonder off. Look continuously at the same object and when you get thoughts, gently come back to the same object and don't pay attention to the thoughts that seek your attention. The longer you can focus on an object without the interruption of your thoughts, the stronger your will becomes.
You will need your will for visualisation because whilst visualising you should only see your desire without any interruptions.
3.Perception
Your perception determines how you see the world. You should understand that because of your experiences and beliefs you see the world in a different way than other people. Every single person sees the same world differently because they had different experiences in life.
You should understand that your perception can be wrong, and it almost always is wrong. Don't let your perception deceive you, try to look at any situation without any strong opinions. The same applies to viewing people. You should not judge people. They are the same as you. We are all one.
4.Memory
This is also a very important mental faculty. Anyone can develop perfect memory. And it can serve a lot of good. However most people use their memory to their disadvantage. It just depends on you what you choose to remember. You can remember your past achievements or past failures, it is only for you to choose.
5.Intuition
This faculty gives you an ability to read energies of other people. Everyone has such an ability but the more you use it, the more you can develop it.
By reading energy I mean picking up on the mood or the attitude of a person, also being able to tell if the person is lying. I can pick up on a negative, positive, successful, confused and dull energy. I am trying to develop this faculty as much as I can because it can be used in so many ways.
It is very hard to describe how you can feel others' energies. It is as though some feeling from that person touches you and you feel what the person is about.
When the person has no strong opinions (which is a good thing) you can pick up very light energy, as though that person is neutral. That means that the person does not have any beliefs about you and does not judge you. When you pick up strong uncomfortable vibration, it means that the person has many limiting beliefs and looks at everyone from a strong ego viewpoint.
I hope you now understand a bit better about how to pick up on and interpret different energies of people.
When you communicate with a person, rather than listening to every single sentence, try to feel the energy that person emanates. This way you will be able to really see what the person is trying to convey to you and whether the person is hiding something from you or lying to you.
6.Imagination
This is one of the most important faculties you have. Through imagination you are able to manifest your desires. The more you develop your imagination, the clearer your vision about your desires will be and the quicker you will manifest your desires.
