Marry Money

 I’ve said it before, in order to marry money you have got to change your thinking and take a new direction in your life view. The following came in a posting from James Ray. I couldn’t have said it better!

 Changing your mindset means pioneering a new way of life and carving a new trail for yourself. But the power we derive from this process, and the results it produces, are well worth the effort. “The Science of Success” depends on your willingness to create and think new thoughts… to carve a new path for yourself that leads to success.

Here are some reminders as you begin the journey:

1. Resolve to keep your thoughts out of the old negative, limiting “path” and hold strongly to your new and positive thoughts under any and all circumstances.
2. Make your new mindset as clear, strong, deep and positive as possible.
3. Travel over your new “path” as frequently as you can.
4. Strengthen your new “path” with the power of emotions, faith, belief, conviction and determination.

Love Ya,

I’m big on the idea of creating a vision for your life. When you are in the process of getting ready to marry money, you must have a vision for yourself and your life.

It’s no different than getting ready for a committed marriage or partnership. You have to be clear what you want that relationship to be like.

Likewise, you have to be clear about the relationship you want to have with money.

The ironic thing about creating a vision for money is that only a small amount of your desires are about money. Sounds contradictory. But it’s not.

Mostly it is about what you want your life to be like. Ask yourself that question. “What do I want my life to be like?” At this point it isn’t at all about money. It’s about the vision, the dream.

Richard Branson wanted to play in a big way. He was very clear about how big he wanted to play. That came first.

When he knew what he wanted his life to be like then he had to have the money to match it. And so he did that in a big way.

I’m asking you to think about your life in a big way. Then think about how much money you will need to satisfy that dream.

You will marry money you have created a consciousness, a way of looking, thinking, and doing, being and behaving that supports your vision and your dream.

The following is a quote from James Ray. He’s one of the guys from the movie, ‘The Secret.’

“A vision is your mental picture of the life you want to lead. Clarity is power. To achieve the highest levels of success, create the highest vision you can dream and deposit it in the treasury of your subconscious mind.

“A vision is not a goal. A vision is much broader and more compelling than a goal. It’s a complete, overall picture of your life that includes both personal and professional endeavors.

” Only you can create your vision. Others in your life, your spouse, parents, siblings, employer and colleagues, may offer suggestions, but you must make the final choices.”

I want you to fall in love with yourself and money.

Harmonic wealth is about creating a vision and some of that is about marrying money!

Love ya,

The idea that money is not about money may seem to be a ridiculous statement. Especially if you are looking at the balance in your checking account, your savings account, or the bills that come in the mail or now also over the Internet.

If your life revolves around a focus on money it’s because you have issues with it.

A well known metaphysician, Stuart Wilde, made the comment in one of his books that true wealth is when one thinks only of having money. The idea of lack or limitation doesn’t enter the equation. In other words money isn’t any kind of an issue. It is just something to use.

The money you have or do not have is a reflection of your experience of it. The memories you have formed around money is what drives your earning, spending, saving, and giving.

There is a term used a lot today, Law of Attraction. It means that what you think is what you attract. You can change your Law of Attraction. Abraham-Hicks has taught for years about this topic.

Suze Ormand is an expert on money matters. But where she sets her work apart from most others is that she understands that the way people feel about themselves and about money comes before any financial success or any financial catastrophe.

Your experience around money is closely tied up with your belief in yourself.

Over the last year I have struggled to get a new perspective and a greater understanding of myself as it relates to success and money.

Here is another big realization that I had a while ago about why I continued most of my life to challenge myself with lack and limitation: I won’t go into how this all came about but I realized as I was working a process that I had a belief that I had to punish myself and one way I did that was to stay financially stressed out.

That piece of information created a huge mental shift that directly affected my earning power.

Take a look at some of the books that you see here because they will all give you more of an understanding about how your mind directs your money life and some ideas on how to make the inner changes needed to make the outer, or financial changes.

Love, Ya

I’ve had a bit of a challenge since I last wrote and I’ll share it here with you.

A year and a half ago I wrote a Wedding Vow Ebook that took the discoveries of the mind and incorporated them into the writing of wedding vows. It was a pretty amazing book.

Actually, it was and is a groundbreaking book.

(I’m giving it away free at www.weddingvowsandceremonies.com

Alas, people weren’t buying it even though I kept writing new sales letters. I bought Google ads and drove traffic to the site. Still sales were few and far between.

The whole long process of nothing happening was very deflating and sometimes defeating. Occasionally I was ready to give it all up. But I knew in my heart there was something I was missing.

I discovered it by being willing to release my hold on what I ‘thought’ was the very best way to write wedding vows.

As I expanded my relationship with the invisible side of life, and realized I wasn’t my book, I began to understand that people looking for help writing their own personal wedding or marriage vows went looking when they were very pressed for time. They wanted to write beautiful and meaningful vows but they had to do it fast.

Or if they had more than a week’s time they were still overwhelmed thinking and planning about the ‘big day.’

It wasn’t that my material wasn’t good; the problem was that it wasn’t right for my customers. After all the first rule of marketing–anything–is to give them what they want.

So I did that. I wrote a very short Ebook that gave couples and individuals everything they need to write great vows and still have some very personal energy around them. I put it all in one place. I created a worksheet with a unique outline and then I put it out there.

We redid our site www.weddingvowsandceremonies.com and now my time is in learning more and more about Internet marketing and getting people to the site and buying.

First, I asked. I asked for help. “I need a little help here. What is it that I’m not seeing?”

It can be just that simple.

Then the end of July I got an Email from someone, I don’t remember who, doesn’t matter, who sent me to a site where the 30 Day Challenge was being offered. It was free and it was going to be a really in depth and intimate association with Internet Marketing.

I was able to move my ego out of the way and open up to a greater or more timely idea. I took off the blinders.

Maybe there is some idea in your life that you are holding on to about money, or a career, a person, or some ‘thing’ you want. You are so attached that the idea is sewn into everything you wear and everything you sit or lie on, and every breath you take and word you speak.

Ask for a way to repurpose your desire or idea. What will happen is that you keep the essence of your desire or idea but you will be able to look at it with a new perspective.

Something brand new will come out of that ability to release your hold on what you originally wanted but still keep the best of it. Miracles will happen. You will finally see what you missed and be led to people, things, experiences and ideas that will finally bring you into your dream.

Never, never, never give up. Just be willing to see things differently.

Love, ya.

For the longest time I did not understand that.

But now, here is what I understand about planning: it’s a compass. That’s all. A goal or a plan keeps us moving in the right direction.

We need to take goals seriously. This study has enormous implications for every one of us who just meander along in a zig zag pattern.

A twenty year study involving students at a certain Ivy League University traced the lives of one graduating class.

3% of that class had written goals. 97% did not.

At the end of 20 years the 3% were worth more than the 97% combined!

They also reported more satisfaction and joy with their lives.

Have goals and write out a plan for how you are going to reach that goal. Because with goals and a plan you are able to be more focused and disciplined.

If you’ve been following along with these blogs you will have spent a little time writing down what you don’t want, paying particular attention to how you are feeling and what your inner responses are to what you wrote.

I asked you to do that because I don’t want you to keep on kicking the cat although cats probably have enough sense to stay out of your way so then it’s kicking the dog.

Or kicking the kids or your spouse or partner. Or you cut people off in traffic. Or are short tempered. Or annoyed with almost everything.

You’ve probably messed up your computer too, because there is an energy of annoyance, anger and pissiness that scrambles codes in your computer. I could do a whole blog on that but not now. Just keep in mind that if your computer has exhibited signs of sulking, and confusion it may not be your computer!

Now! It’s time to look at what you do want.

OK, now you get to look at what you don’t want.

You get to put as much energy into it as you want and are able because I want you to experience the emotion and feelings that come up. Those emotions and feelings are coming up all the time anyway only you aren’t aware of them since you keep doing the same thing over and over and over again!

You’re not even feeling. Youre angry, frustrated, sad. You express, you don’t feel.  

That may be transulated into a migrane headache, aches and pains in the body, road rage, accidents, busted or strained relationships, impotency, etc.

Get out a piece of paper and write down everything you don’t want. Write it out. Don’t type it into your computer. Of course you will begin with the obvious:

When there are problems in one’s life we either try to ignore them or can’t stop looking at them.

We become microscopes, fine focusing in on what is wrong, what isn’t working. In fact, our whole life seems to reflect the problem. That’s whether it’s about Money, or health, or relationships, or jobs, etc.

When we focus and ruminate on what isn’t working we continue to get more of the same because that is the lens we are looking through.

The problem with trying to ignore the problem is that we haven’t been able to put it into proper perspective.

It’s important to get some idea of where our beliefs and responses about Money came from so we can change them.

I’m going to ask you to take just a little time to do two things regarding snooping into your beliefs around Money:

Since I have been painting a picture for you of my wedding to Mr. Money I thought I would share with you a little bit from the wedding ceremony.

I was inspired by a book I had just read, Eat, Pray, Love, and adapted an idea from it into the ceremony.  The following segment of the wedding ceremony is not a direct quote. I did a transulation into my own language using Money as the example of a soul mate.

A soul mate is someone who is a mirror, the person who brings you to attention/so you can change your life.

A true soul mate tears down your walls and smacks you awake.

Soul mates come into your life to show you another layer of yourself.

For you, Money has been your soul mate.

Money’s purpose was to shake you up, drive you to a new level of awareness, show you your addictions and obstacles, break your heart open–so a new light could shine through, and make you so desperate and out of control you HAD to transform your life.

That was Money’s job and he did it great!

Mr. Money, congratulations, you did your job well.

Don’t you love that idea of Money ’smacking me awake?’ And how about the part that reads, ’showing you your addictions and obstacles, and breaking your heart open.’

Wow!

When we are in the middle of pain and fear, unless we are really aware and awake (I had one eye open by then) we miss the concept of, ’your heart breaking open so a new light can shine through,’ as something positive.

The truth is that for most of us, whether it is about money, love, addictions with drugs, alcohol, sex, anger, or any obsessive behavior that takes us apart a bite at a time, until we’re screaming in pain we won’t do much about it.

It’s a little like throwing a frog into a pan of water. If the water is boiling the frog immediately hops out. If the water is cold you can heat it up slowly and boil the frog alive.

We have to be smacked into doing things different.

In AA they talk about hitting ones bottom. Being smacked awake is the equivalent of that term.

Maybe a prayer for all of us when we are young and starting out should be: Lord, smack me awake sooner rather than later so I can transform my life before I become a disaster zone.

You’d better believe that most of us would be awake and aware and ‘living the dream’ a whole lot sooner if we could pray that prayer!

It’s never too late. 

OK, here goes: Lord, if I have any other areas of my life that I need smacking in, could it please happen soon so I can get on with my life and ‘live the dream.’

Actually a better prayer would be something like this: “My eyes are open now I see. Wisdom and truth revealed to me. Thank you.” That from a song I sang somewhere.

Wouldn’t you rather be kissed awake rather than smacked awake. Interesting idea.

Love Ya,

Mary
