Your Friends and Your Wealth
Do you know that your wealth is determined by the types of friends you spend most of your time with? This question raised some doubts in me when I first heard this statement but it turned out to be one of the most powerful statements I've ever known.
There is also a Chinese proverb says that if you mix with red ink, you'll become red; if you mix with black ink, you'll become dark. This proverb teaches us the importance of choosing friends. The influence of friends is so great that it can shape your destiny.
If you want to achieve success in life and business, you must carefully choose with whom you want to spend most of your time. If you surround yourself with friends in business, you talk about business. If your friends are employees, you talk about work. If your friends are in real estate, you talk about real estate ... and so on.

A Tool for the Spirit
Journaling is a remarkable device for easing worry and obsession, for identifying hopes and fears and for allowing your creative self to expand, increasing your level of energy and confidence. It harnesses the power to tap into successively deeper layers of your subconscious mind while it zaps the nervous, passive energy that ties your stomach in knots and leads to more guilt and worry.
Journals are tools to help you discover the wisdom you already possess. Sometimes, this wisdom will surprise you. Other times, it will challenge you. Always, it will come directly from you, empowering you to trust yourself and to take action by giving you the deep-seated knowledge that you know more than you think you do.

Flowers That Bloom in the Night
Some flowers prefer to grow by the light of the moon. It sounds as if I am going to break into song but there are those flowers that look their best after the sun has gone down. Many of these nocturnal bloomers are tropical plants best suited to warm climates. You can choose to select hardy perennials or just grow the tropical specimens as summer annuals and then bring them indoors for the winter.

Bright and Reflective Objects
To Enhance Your Prosperity
In traditional Chinese Feng Shui the use or avoidance of mirrors as well as the careful placement of bright objects is said to enhance the energy of the space.
All kinds of bright objects such as glass, mirrors, crystals and anything with a reflective surface can be used to bring light into dark spaces. Corners are particularly important as they tend to trap and stagnate energy, just like an eddy in a stream. The light will keep that energy flowing

The Freedom of Enough
When Less is More
We trade our life energy for money when we go to our jobs. And, then we spend the money that we have traded our life energy for on necessities, comfort items and then luxuries. A certain amount of spending is fulfilling, but that only goes to a point " it's called the 'peak of the Fulfillment Curve'.
That peak is called 'enough'. Once we have paid for our necessities, comfort items and a few luxuries, we reach the 'enough' point. Anything we buy beyond that ceases to be fulfilling and actually becomes an energy drain. This point of 'enough' is unique to and must be discovered by each person.

Seven Steps to
Making a Difference in an Indifferent World
We live in troubled times where our peace and safety are often in danger. Most feel helpless and unable to affect the unfolding events in our present world. And yet many are uniting their minds, energy and actions in order to create a peaceful and safe world with dignity for all.
Some groups work politically while others spiritually or socially. Some focus on the poor or refuges, others on human rights, some on the politicians themselves who seem to be making the decisions. During this period of our evolution, it is so important that each of us makes his or her personal statement through thoughts words and actions.

Seven Tips For Negotiating Your Next Raise

Prosperity Consciousness: A Metaphysical Guide to Your Natural Wealth
By
Audrey Craft Davis
Before you enter a negotiation, find out if there are restrictions on what you can get. For instance, if a job is advertised at a certain title and salary, some companies will not negotiate beyond what is formally posted. If your company has a limit on raises, you can't get more unless your boss jumps through a lot of hoops.
Know what's important to the company and to your boss. I once heard a story about a person who was hired to promote a line of products. He was super-successful! Then he found out that the company just kept those products as a loss-leader for image. They had no desire to expand that product line.
Never mind what's rational. Companies reward people for doing what the company wants. If the company's values conflict with yours, you have a decision to make.

Creating Money: Attracting Abundance
By
Sanaya Roman
"You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life, before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave." Sound advice from Billy Holiday, one of the most soulful jazz singers of the 1950's.
Billie is wisely suggesting that personal abundance is necessary for social and spiritual advancement. It helps to have a car that works and a little money in your pocket to do what you came here to Earth to do. You've got to feel good about yourself and allow yourself to be loved before you can share love with others -- in whatever form that takes.
Native shamans teach, "Take care of yourself first, so that you can then take care of others." You've got to give yourself enough love, money and health, in order to have enough to share with others. You've got to be allowing love, abundance and vitality to be flowing into and through you, in order for it to be flowing out from you.
I'm reminded of this universal principle every time I fly in an airplane. This simple wisdom is loudly announced on the public address system before every take off: "In case of an emergency, put your oxygen mask on yourself first -- before you put it on your child or another person."

Changing for Good
By
James O. Prochaska, et. al.
Some folks believe there are no bad decisions ... If you turn left instead of right, you think you've made a mistake -- til you realize this detour is actually a shortcut to the destination of your dreams.
But if you're standing at a fork in the road, here are some guidelines that others have found helpful. At the same time, remember that few decisions turn into a life sentence. You can always review your new life, get out the maps, and chart a new course for your future.
Know who you are and what you want -- today. You spent a life as the quintessential urban resident and now seek the countryside. You enjoyed twenty years of law or medicine or sales, and now you find yourself writing poetry and making time to help a third-grader learn to read. Yesterday's decision rules won't work any longer.

When, on the other hand, I walk out into a living room cluttered with toys and books and extra things all over the place, it is chaos and my mind is frenetic.

Freeing the Genie Within: Manifesting Abundance, Creativity & Success in Your Life
By
Debra Lynne Katz
If you're like most people, you probably own at least one. And like most people, you've maybe never thought what it's really costing you.
At a recent conference held by the Fabian Society at London's Imperial college, one of the issues discussed was happiness, and, more specifically, why it seems to elude so many of us. One of the conclusions reached was that one of the greatest causes of unhappiness in the last 50 years has been people's constant desire to raise their level of material wealth (especially in relation to others who have more).
As one speaker noted, "We're like children on a rainy Sunday afternoon, impossible to please. We have everything and nothing."
You may disagree, but I can't think of a worse modern symbol of this constant craving than the credit card.
