Being rich is a mind-set above anything else… the question being ask here is, “How do you acquire that mind-set…???” How do you change the “ Joe Blow Next Door” into the “ Mister Multi-Millionaire” ??? And please spare me the quantum physic…

Sorry Shamou turn away if you can't bear it!
I live on a stretch of beach nicknamed 'Millionaires Mile'. If you go to the Fun and Recreation Forum/'Man that's sooo creative thread', you can see pictures of my 'shack'. If you have the faintest idea about realestate, you'll know what it's worth. I am surrounded by wealthy 'Tuna Barons', and Abalone Barons, in Port Lincoln, a town with more millionaires per capita than any where in Australia. A house 2 blocks down from me was the subject of of a Japanese documentry on amasing houses. The 'Barons' love to tell their hard work stories and I think they are pretty amasing people. Some escaped concentration camps, and arrived in Australia with nothing, and are today 'loaded'.
But I see myself as amasing too, and I am 'loaded' too, but I have a completely different, amasing story. So there is, lets say, 'friendly banter' or disagreement between us, because I haven't got a 'slogged my guts out' story. It's the last thing I want. I choose to let my money do most of the work. And when some of the 'boys' get too carried away, in a derogatory tone, with their 'ability to perform hard work' stories, I just invite em' into my personal, fully equipped gym, for a demo of their ability to work hard...silence is bliss, isn't it!
To the point, I totally believe in the power of creation, of things labelled as miracles, manifesting', attracting, quantum physics, or whatever label you give it. I actually have the only deck hanging out over the beach, much to the 'boy's' disdain! I believe just get the ball rolling. About 30 years ago I chose this direction, but I must be honest, I poured myself in fully. I Meditate and visualise daily. I ponder and learn daily. I soak it all up, whatever way I can.
How's this for starters. Around 25-30 years ago I wanted to live where there was amasing uncrowded surf. Having surfed overseas and around Australia, my favourite surf was in a tiny little town, Elliston South Australia, population 200. 100 miles from the next town. Virtually no jobs. So I only dreamed of living there, but was putting conscious effort, and visualising etc, into moving to other places, particularly Margaret River, Western Australia. An acquaintance from Elliston rang me out of the blue one day, and said the local council was wanting someone to run a tourist park, as summer months were popular with tourists. I applied for the job, zero experience. But I was a top sportsman, and they were more interested in me for their footy and basketball teams, which were taking a drubbing. Next thing I've quit my safe, secure job in drafting/graphic arts, and am managing a tourist park in Elliston. The basketball team was suddenly drubbing everyone else, and as I believe anything is possible, and pour myself into whatever I do, the park was powering. Even though I was a 'surfy bum', some people in town liked me. One day I was standing on the point, emptying a bin in front of the park, and a local farmer who was notorious for hating 'surfies' starts talking to me. He owned the point opposite, Salmon Point, which features in all the West Coast tourist brochures, and I get this powerfull urge to ask him to sell it to me. I have learned to trust and act on that type of urge! To cut a miraculous, amasing, long story short, I ended up with 7.5 acres of mind bending beachfront realestate for $3500 dollars. I still own it today. Guess what its worth! Guess how much it goes up in value yearly...whether I sleep, work, dissappear, whatever! Then I had to learn about the power of equity, of letting the bank's money work for me
And I love it. I love it!!! I can rattle off a ton of those stories, even more 'miraculous' and unbelievable. They just snowball along, better and better. So to anyone out there wondering if manifesting works, if you can create miracles, take heart you can!!! But you need to believe, and believe and realise that thought is all powerful. Thought is effortless effort! Watch your thoughts, control them. And I honestly believe there is one more crucial thing. Anyone who seriously, honestly, wholeheartedly meditates, or who seriously, wholeheartedly, honestly ponders 'the meaning of life', whether they are a saint, or not, comes to the same conclusion. To be at our best, we must truly be in harmony with wanting the best for all. We must step out of individuality into oneness. Then each individual shines miraculously, and it is 'contagious'. Remember, you can say what you like, but you can't fool yourself. All the best!!!
