Get Anything You Want By Changing Your Thinking!


Money is hard to get for most people. Money can be easy to get for other people. Why is that?

Growing up we aren't taught the proper way of thinking about money. High school doesn't teach us anything useful about it. College doesn't teach any real-world knowledge either. And our parents don't teach us how to think properly about it because they've never been exposed to the laws of attraction that govern the accumulation of money.

Wealthy people know how to THINK about money in the correct way. They learn the proper way of thinking about it to attract it to them. The have discovered the natural laws of attraction that affect how much money enters into their lives. And anyone can learn how to put these laws of attraction to use to increase the amount of money they accumulate.

Broken Ideas And Idea Repair

As a rule, our culture tends to think of emotions as things that well up inside us in a way that’s more or less completely Justify Fulloutside our control. We can avoid emotional situations, this point of view goes, or we can suppress them, but they are what we are, and thinking doesn’t enter into it.

I’d like to demonstrate some very useful ways this is completely wrong. I’ll do it using, of course, a mime.

Let’s say our mime–for convenience, we can call him Raoul–is on his way to the park to do a little street performance on a sunny May afternoon. For his performance today, Raoul has purchased three dozen imaginary eggs, which he plans to juggle, balance on his nose, perform magic tricks with, etc. He is carrying the imaginary eggs in mime fashion when he slips on an imaginary banana peel on the sidewalk and crashes to the concrete, right on top of his eggs. Now Raoul is a mess, covered with imaginary egg. All of his eggs are ruined, so there go his performance plans for the day, and to top it off, the people in his otherwise fair city are so rude and thoughtless that they leave imaginary banana peels lying all over the place. Oh, and to make it worse, since it was an imaginary banana peel, clearly it was another mime who did it!

The Discerning Effect Of Gladness

Gladness is a noun…it’s the name for the condition of being glad. Therefore, the word has a certain sense of being pure about it, like the purity of driven snow. The etymology of the word gladness is ‘smooth’ and ‘shining’. It actually made me think of what it must have been like in the early 1st century church when it was said that they “ate together with sincere and glad hearts.” (Acts 2:46). In the Bible, there are 53 references to being glad or ‘gladness’. It can be defined as: 1. full of cheerfulness and brightness 2. having a happy or cheerful disposition by nature; 3.


expressive of, marked by, or caused by joy and happiness 4. experiencing delight, pleasure or joy: made pleased; made satisfied, happy or grateful—oftentimes used withof: very willing. The wisdom teacher Qoheleth in the Old Testament taught, “I commend to enjoy life, because
nothing more is good for a person under the sun than to drink and eat and be glad.” (Ecclesiastes 8:15) I think oftentimes we do not truly appreciate the simple pleasures of food like we can, but whenever we are being invited to a dinner or lunch, there’s a true and genuine sense of lookin
g forward to it for the most of us.
Now, that’s a sign of simple gladness. What a sudden flash of thunderous truth is this happening? The true gladness penetrates. I received an email recently from my church and I read with gladness the very gladness of a pastor to see all the great and wonderful ministry of God that surrounds
him. Well, that is what I read (between the lines actually) as he is lifting one person
after another up to the wh
ole e-congregation—the Spirit of God at work. Gladness has a certain infectious joy about it. It is full of love; it refuses to be swayed by anything but the best, although it could also view and handle the worst.
I recall an old spiritual quoting Isaiah “wear a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.”No matter what the circumstances are, as long as the smile is there, there is life, pure and simple. Being glad is a simple feeling or emotion; just like joy. And it is in this sense of inherent joy, the one described by those in the early church which I think Paul was referring to when he prodded the followers of the
Way to “Do all without arguing and complaining…become pure and bla
meless… and shine like the stars.” (Philippians 2:14-15). There is possibly no other large collection of specialized writings so scattered with joy as this.We could either be made happy or make happy yet there is a more primary or more profound gladness of disposition. Life is priceless and essential. If gladness could get us even just halfway there why will we not automatically be more glad? Gladness has true and divinely anointed strength about it. Being glad and able to enjoy simple happiness of life for whatever they are , are not trying so hard. This is the genuine secret of God’s grace; we let His love that never condemns enter into our awareness and we know the help of the Spirit which causes joy of disposition; happiness…that brings us peace and other virtues. www.articlecity.com
