Here’s a passage from a little known book that I discovered several years ago and it has become a constant companion that I refer to almost daily and certainly at those times when I need to be reminded of how ripe the universe is with possibilities and opportunities to create all the wealth and prosperity I could ever desire!

From the Book  “Mind OVer Money” by – Ilya Alexi. Available for free on Amazon Kindle and Smashwords.com.

In order to attract substantial amounts of wealth into your life you obviously must be open to receiving this wealth. You also must be open to the idea that any situation you encounter may offer you a money-making opportunity, and that any person you meet may open a creative opportunity for you, or spark an idea in your mind that can be turned into a lucrative enterprise.

You must be constantly alert for ways in which you can use your energy to attract more wealth into your life. This means being always willing to learn, and always expecting to find fulfilling ways to earn money. Develop your feelings of expectation to such a degree that in every situation you encounter and in every conversation you have you will expect to learn something new, develop a new idea, or in some way enrich your life. Living your life in this manner will open you up not only to a more abundant lifestyle, but also a more enjoyable one. When you go through each day’s experiences constantly open to the possibilities that surround you, your mind automatically becomes calmer, more focussed, and better able to bring to you the experiences you desire. 

A simple way to be open to the goodness within all experience is to assume that you are always in the right place at the right time, and that when a creative idea comes you will be psychologically prepared to accept it and physically prepared to act upon it. In this way you can make any of your daily experiences more rewarding.           –   Ilya Alexi

What does it take to change your life experience and rise above the situations, challenges  and circumstances that you are not satisfied with?

How do you go about reaching that goal and living the life that you Imagine?

Here is a simple yet powerful quote by Nelson Mandela that gives one of the  keys to answering these questions and unlocking the door to living our best life now!

“Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.”    –   Nelson Mandela

One of the hardest thing for a lot of people to accept is the idea that they are in fact in control of their own destiny.

You are the one setting the destinations that you are moving towards through your thoughts, attitudes, words, emotions and actions.

You don’t control all the events and circumstances that occur in your life, think of how boring life would become if you did, but you can control how you respond to whatever life brings your way.

Here’s what Wayne Dwyer had to say on the topic:

“You can decide to fulfill your destiny, rather than have it stagnate or deteriorate with excuses.”

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.”
   –   Wayne Dwyer 

Jim Rohn speaks on the challenge of leadership:

When we think of Abundance it is most often associated with wealth, riches, success and prosperity. To achieve these high goals and become wealth creators we need the help and support of others and to accomplish that we must become leaders.

But, what is the mark of a leader?

How do we exemplify the characteristics of a true leader?

This is what Jim Rohn had to say on the topic.

“The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.”

–   Jim Rohn

Chris Gardner talks about pursing your dreams.

“If you have a dream and a desire to pursue it with every fiber of your being, but can’t move past excuses or circumstances that seem to be standing in your way, there is a life lesson ahead with your name on it.”
