"History affords us many instances of the ruin of states, by the prosecution of measures ill suited to the temper and genius of their people. The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy... These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed; whence a total separation of affections, interests, political obligations, and all manner of connections, by which the whole state is weakened."
--Benjamin Franklin

Fool me Once
"There's an old saying in Tennessee —I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

Finding your place
To help find direction use one these affirmations form Joseph Murphy. Use one or both, a combination or variation... Most make sure you can actually believe it before affirming it. If it is too strong, water it down a bit and start with that until you grow more in faith.
"Infinite intelligence reveals to me my hidden talents and shows me the way I should go."
"The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind reveals to me my true place in life."
Note: Never affirm something you can’t accept or believe. It could work against you and create the exact opposite effect if your conscious mind rejects the affirmation as it enters the subconscious mind.

This is an except form a letter to a friend....
If you jump into success and do visualizing etc – either you will fail or it well be short lived…
The very foundations need redone first. For example you believe "God is my substance, source and support" it won't do anything until it really believed – ingrained deeply. Intellectual beliefe does not count. If there is doubt within your mind it will manifest eventfully and knock you back down.
People fail by jumping into visualizing and success techniques. The read books and get all hotwired after what they believe about what they just read. They jump out claiming success but the underlying thoughts return to sabotage them.
You cannot take a short cut; you cannot take a lazy way or follow a formula except to get the foundations first. Faith is the big one. So is understanding perhaps.
How many people say – the lord is my shepherd I shall not want? They raise their hands and look holy, say amen and all that, but the outward manifestation of their life disproves the real believe or understanding of what it means. If you bring it up they get mad and argue with you. A classic argument is "tough times". Tough times seem to trump God Himself if you closely examine the church body and you secular counterparts!!
Writing a list is cool and reading it every morning but perhaps it is wimpy. You need to say it a few hundred times a day for quite awhile. The visualizing is important if you actually believe you can do it, but the very faith foundations must be rigorously gone over.
Example: I did the prayer of Jesus – "Jesus Christ son of God, have mercy on me" about 300 times per day… not caring what the result would be other than God sending me in the direction he wanted me to go in… Suddenly I had so many job interviews it was a royal pain in the butt… I was offered 2 jobs and probably would have been offered a 3rd. I still receive short term contract interview offers on a regular basis almost a year later.
The spiritual foundations of beliefe and understanding for provision, health and peace are very important, or you will get out of balance and kill yourself with anxiety, anger, stress, judgment, impatience, etc. If you get off balance during your journey the prosperity could be more harmful than good.
I cannot stress the faith and understanding – that is my main focus for now.
I am absorbing these two the mostly (from Charles Fillmore)"
"I am unmovable spirit substance."
And
"God is my substance, supply and support."
I drive down the road now a see how God has supplied or supported me – or saved me in the past – memories and gratitude long forgotten….
If you jump into success and do visualizing etc – earth you will fail or it well be short lived…
I drive down the road now a see how God has supplied or supported me – or saved me in the past – memories and gratitude long forgotten…. (No more radio talk shows or music anymore)
Anyway I m sure you can see that if these 2 particular foundations are not strong everything will eventually collapse. Yes there are others but these are a good starting point.
You must stay focused to win the battle of thoughts in your mind. And people are depending on it!
I’ll keep you posted – consider me something similar to a lab rat... (Adorable little buggers! – yet a very useful function) I have been quite a bit more optimistic lately overall, but I am still working on it…
