You’re not your money

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

The day I realized that I was not my money changed my life in many ways. I always attached my value to the amount of money I had, and I know many people do this too.

If I had a lot of money I felt on top of the world. When I didn’t have money I suddenly didn’t feel so good about myself. But the moment I realized that “I am not my money” it all changed.

The power of this realization is, that I no longer have to measure my worth to what I have or don’t have. My value is constant and it cannot be measured or put in terms of monetary value. My value is beyond that. No amount of money can pay for my life.

What I also found is that those people who measure their value in monetary terms also look at others that way. Those who have more money are placed on a pedestal while those who are lower on the social scale are seen as worth less.

Discovering this powerful thruth has allowed me to feel valuable and to feel good about myself, whether I have money or not. The level of self esteem you have is equal to your power to attract money and anything else you want in your life.

You’ll never attract the things you want unless you raise your self-esteem. Those who are rich today had a high self esteem even when they were poor. And it is their belief in themselves and their abilities and the ideas that they had, that took them from poverty to riches.

So here is a affirmation I started using after I came to this remarable realization:

“I AM NOT MY MONEY. MONEY IS SIMPLY SOMETHING THAT I MAKE”

Here is what Outrageous Mastery did for me

Hi there, thanks for visiting.

How are you doing today.

I just thought I should tell you a little bit about what Sasha’s book did for me.

I bought her trilogy, Book 1, 2 & Playbook about two weeks ago.

I have finished reading Book 1 which is a thrilling read by the way. But the most important part of that trilogy is Books 2 & 3 (Playbook) which I am now busy
working through.

In Book 1 Sasha tells you her story and in Book 2 she tells you exactly how she did what she did. You then follow along and start to play with your own dreams and desires.

What this book has done for me so far is, it gave me the courage to attempt things I would never even have tried before.

Why?

Because I have gained a new belief that I Can!

Sasha has helped me to believe that there is nothing that I cannot, do, be or have.

Previously I would tone down my goals because I have learned that I must take goals that are “believable” In other words not so outrageous.

Sasha’s book has turned all that on its head and showed me that all I need to change is my faith, not my goals.

As for my goals, the more outrageous, the better.

This morning I listened to Fox & Friends, and Gretchen said she asked her daughter if Sarah Palin is qualified to be Vice President.

And here is the enlightening answer that she got, “Isn’t she born in the United States?”

The implication is that if she is born in the United States, there isn’t any other reason why she can’t be vice president.

Sasha’s book teaches us to become like children and believe wholeheartedly, without reservation, because that is where miracles reside.

So, if you have been on the fence wondering if this book is worth spending your money on, then I hope that I have given you a new appreciation for it.

This is why you’re a winner!

Monday, April 14th, 2008

How are you today – I have something very important to tell you.

What I want to tell you is this: You Are A Winner!

How do I know this if I never even met you?

Here is why – Before you were conceived in your mother’s womb you were actually competing with millions of other sperm cells to fertilize the egg from your mother.

And you know what?

You beat them all out to emerge victorius.

Now, tell me how amazing is that?

So, that is how I know that you’re a winner.

 Most of us are never told that we are winners. We are always told negative things about ourselves that we later tend to believe. And because we believe these negative stuff about ourselves we find it hard to break through and manifest our desires.

But you don’t have to subscribe to somebody else’s warped view of you.

 You can change that because you’re a winner.

You were born to succeed. If you weren’t a winner you wouldn’t be here today!

And as long as you don’t give up, you will also manifest everything you ever wanted!

When you start to believe in yourself then others will also believe in you, so just keep on believing…

Keep on going…

Keep on learning…

Keep on applying what you learn, and you’ll get there!

That is all I wanted to tell you today!

Your friend,

Jimmy Roos

How to Feel More Secure

Friday, February 8th, 2008

How secure you feel is largely determined by how secure or insecure you feel as a person. If you are a generally insecure person you are likely to be frightened by every little disturbance that happens around you or by not having money. The world is trying to tell us that what we feel inside is separate from “reality”, i.e. the things that happen around us on the physical plane. According to this thinking, the source of your anxiety or insecurity is outside; hence people who feel insecure are trying to fix the problem on the outside.Going with this argument, people do all kinds of things to improve their security. Many people want more money, because they believe this will lead to more security. However this is not necessarily true.This may be fine if the source of your insecurity is outside, for example if you have received threats or if the area where you live is dangerous. In that case more money will help you to improve your present security or move to a safer area.But what if your insecurity comes from within? How can you fix it outside? I know what I’m talking about. I suffered rejection while being raised by my Aunt, which projected itself as insecurity in my later life.My insecurities and fears were very real and were compounded by the fact that we had little money. My wife and I often had blazing rows because of the fact that she bought stuff, sometimes even things that we needed. As far as I was concerned we shouldn’t have bought anything until we had “enough” money. I thought at the time that having more money would solve the problem, because I didn’t realize the problem was inside me.The truth is that money doesn’t necessarily give security. If you feel insecure, clearly examine what you feel insecure about. Is there a clear physical threat to your security, for example, someone threatened you personally? If you cannot really pinpoint where your security comes from, it is likely that it is from within.So if you are having anxiety relating to money, reason with your mind in a logical manner.

  • Ask yourself who has died from not having money.
  • Ask yourself what is the worst thing that can happen to you if you don’t have money. Try to paint the most ridiculous possible outcomes.

When you do this you confuse your mind.

  • Remind yourself that there are people who are worse off than you, but they haven’t died.

Also do this. I’m sure there are many homeless people on the streets. In the morning talk to yourself and say:

  • This morning I’m going to prove that I’m overcoming this fear. Stop next to some homeless people and give them some money, or something which they don’t have.
  • Also ask them if not having money have killed them. When they say no, walk away and tell your subconscious, you see I told you that nobody has ever died of not having money.

You’ll find you will not believe these things you say to yourself, but don’t worry about that. The mind is a creature of habit and it will take a while before things start to change.

The key to establishing new behavioral patterns is to keep on repeating it for at least 21 days. When the thought of not having money comes, laugh about it. Tell others that you “have this silly fear” that you may not have money for the things that you need. You see these fears only have power over you as long as you don’t confront it. As soon as you confront, and share it with others it will start to go away.

Why is Building Self Esteem Important?

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

This is why it is important to raise your self esteem. People who have a low self esteem are generally unhappy. They believe that they are victims. And
because they think they are victims they expect bad things to happen to them which unfortunately do happen.

However the fact of the matter is nobody wants bad things to happen to them. That is why you need to build your self esteem up as it allows you to take charge of your life, because you’ll no longer feel like a victim.

People who have a high self esteem think of themselves as initiators of their success or anything they want. So instead of sitting and waiting for someone to do something for them they go out and do it for themselves. And when they do this their self esteem takes on a life of its own.

Because the more you do something for yourself the better you feel about yourself. So building self esteem is about doing something for yourself because you’re worth it and therefore deserve it.

The most difficult part of doing something worthwhile is usually the beginning and it is no different when building your self esteem. This is because most people who get to the point of building self esteem usually have a low self esteem when starting off. And the point of having to convince yourself that you’re worth doing something for, is usually the hardest part.

But it is worth it, because you are worth it. You are a fabulous human being with unique talents and abilities. You can be anything you want to be. If
nobody ever told you something good about yourself, doesn’t mean you are not worthy or beautiful. Its just that they were too blind to see what you were
about.

Building self esteem is about nurturing yourself and feeling good about yourself. You don’t have to wait for someone to tell you something good. Start giving yourself love. Start telling yourself the things you’ve always wanted to hear. Start treating yourself in the way you want to be treated, because that’s
exactly what building self esteem is about.

You no longer have to believe what somebody said to you or about you in the past. Thats done, its over with! Forgive those who hurt you or disappointed you in the past, and move on. Recognise that you are no longer a victim, you’re now a new person.

The more you do this, the higher your esteem will grow. So as you can see, nobody has to remain with a low self esteem. You can change it all and become a happier person by doing so.

What is Self Esteem

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

What is self esteem and why is self esteem important. Self esteem is the image we have of ourselves. In other words, how you think of yourself or your opinion of yourself.

If you think of yourself as not good enough, or not good looking you have a low self esteem. On the other hand if you think of yourself, as good looking or deserving of the opportunities that come your way you, have a higher self esteem.

OK now we know what self esteem is, but the question begs. How do some get to have low self esteem, and others a high self esteem? Were we born like this, and can I change my self esteem from low to high?

Nobody is born with a low self esteem. We are all born with the potential to have a low or high self esteem. What determines whether we have a low or high self esteem is the environment within which we are born.

If the people who surround us. I’m now talking about your parents, siblings and so on. If they or even other family members shower you with love and always encourage you, you are likely to have a high self esteem.

Hower if you are someone who was for example born to teenage parents and is made to feel unwelcome, from the time you were born, you’re likely to suffer from a low self esteem.

So this shows that your environment plays a very big role in shaping you and that low or high self esteem is decided by people other than yourself.
However, nobody needs to remain with a low self esteem all their lives. You can do something about it.

The Power Of Confidence!

Friday, January 4th, 2008

One night I had a dream. I can’t remember much else about the dream except that there was a man who literally led a charmed life. Wherever he went and whatever he did, things always worked out for him.

I can’t say where exactly I featured in the dream, but I could observe this man, as he went about his business, getting things done.

I was held spellbound by all the things this man accomplished. Later I couldn’t take it anymore and asked the person who allowed me to witness the sequence of events. I asked: “What did this man have, that enabled him to almost magically go through life?”

I was somehow expecting to hear something out of this world. Instead I got just one word: “Confidence!”

Yes, you heard me right! Super Self Confidence allows you to walk through life, almost as if you are on a Sunday picnic. It opens doors that were shut to others, and gives you things that were unavailable to others.

This kind of confidence is not a once-off feeling of invincibility that you occasionally feel.

  • It is not tied to money or to possessions such as a car or a house.
  • It comes from within.
  • It doesn’t come instantly and takes time to culitvate.
  • Others will instantly become aware of it.
  • People are drawn towards the person having it.
  • Women and even men find it sexy.
  • It doesn’t offend or denigrate others. Many people mistake arrogance for confidence and still others mistake confidence for arrogance.
  • Confidence is not a feeling you can impose by acting confident. It comes from deep within yourself, and is fuelled by your believe in yourself and what you Think, You Can Do.
  • Confidence can be described as an “I Can attitude.” It is not limited to what you say or how you say it. It is a state of being. Sometimes you don’t even have to say anything. It makes a statement by itself.

Those who have it know they have it, and they like that feeling. Those who don’t have it wish that they could have it.
