You Are Amazing!

You really can have the life you want, as long as you don’t entertain any doubts. You must keep believing, and never stop.
Your mind is the window through which you see the world. If you impose too many mental constraints on yourself, or have too many negative thoughts about your future, you’ll only create harmful vibrations that will undermine your success in all areas of your life.
You have no limits except those your mind imposes. Keep your mind as open as possible, and never doubt you can succeed and make your wishes come true.
The projects and dreams you now have were inspired by your inner nature. That means they’re all within your reach.
You’re the only one who can turn them into reality. Rely only on yourself, no one else. Do whatever you can each day to create the life you desire, and it will eventually happen. There’s no doubt about it.
Your mind, like your life, has no limits.
If you have a number of projects to work on, organize them in order of importance, and don’t disperse your energy on too many things at the same time.
When you’ve completed your list of desires and organized them into a hierarchy, start with the one at the bottom of the list, and try to accomplish it.
When it’s done, move up to the second task on your list, then the third, and so on.
Nourish your thoughts with the positive energy of your deepest desires. The more intense the energy is, the more motivated you’ll be, and the more success you’ll have.

Develop Your mind: Say Thank You!

Abundance really isn`t that difficult to attain. Most people see it as a huge mountain to climb, and don`t know how to go about it. There are many paths you can take, but two very effective ones are practicing positive thinking, and following the path of thankfulness!



Everyone wants a life of abundance. Love, wealth, health, material possessions, happiness… these are things everyone strives for. But too often what we want remains only a wish, since most people don`t know how to bring abundance into their lives. They think it`s very complicated, reserved for the fortunate few.


To Profit From Abundance You Need To Believe In It 

If you really want to profit from the abundance you deserve, and which is waiting for you on the astral plane, you first need to get rid of any false ideas you have about what abundance is. Doing that is indispensable, otherwise you’ll be an obstacle on your path to abundance and success. Abundance is much closer than you think. It`s your present state-of-mind, burdened by prejudice and preconceived notions, that separates you from it. That`s all! Sweep away your false ideas, and the path to abundance will open wide before you. In a moment I’ll tell you about an infallible method for doing just that. Then, you won’t have any more excuses for not living in a state of plenitude. If you take a step towards abundance, it will take a hundred steps towards you. But if you don`t do anything to attract abundance into your life, it won`t do anything for you.

Some Essential Reminders

There`s a Cosmic Law that says "Everything requires effort".You absolutely need to abandon the idea that things just miraculously happen in life, and that people who are Lucky and enjoy abundance do so by chance. Luck won`t wait, you need to reach out and grab it! Understanding that Luck can be provoked will help bring abundance into your life, since Luck and abundance are closely linked. Engrave this principle in your mind once and for all: Don`t wait for Luck to happen. Do something to provoke it! Meditating on this principle will favor the attraction of abundance into your life.
The path that leads to abundance is positive thinking.

Positive Thinking Is A Plus 

All you need to do is think positive thoughts as often as possible, throughout the course of the day. Positive words and deeds produce the same positive effects. Positive thoughts purify you of negative energy you’ve created in the past, through your negative thoughts, words and deeds. This negative energy is what is preventing currents of Luck from reaching you, and bringing you the wealth and happiness you deserve. The second way to use positive thinking is to neutralize any negative thoughts you may have. The process consists of formulating affirmations. If you think: ”I`m not capable of doing this” you generate negative energy that, in fact, prevents you from accomplishing your tasks.
But by immediately formulating a contrary affirmation like: ”I am perfectly capable of doing this” you neutralize both the negative thought you had, and the energy it produced, at the same time. You need to get into the habit of thinking positively, and using it to achieve your goals. When you first start practicing you may forget to do it regularly. That takes some time. You`ll need to practice positive thinking at some point, if you really want to make progress on the road to abundance. But there`s another method for attaining abundance, and I`ll tell you about it right now. You`ll be able to use one or the other to bring abundance into your life.

Saying Thank You!

You may use the words thank you every day, but are you aware of their magical power? If you say thank you with the right intention, instead out of habit, the doors to abundance will open wide for you. Starting today, you`re going to use the words thank you in a totally different way than in the past. You can still say it just to be polite, but from now on you need to associate the words `thank you` with personal development, and the attainment of abundance. I call it the ”Path of Thankfulness.” Each time you say thank you, instead of thinking about what you don`t have, concentrate on all that you do have, and on everything that will come to you at some point in future. It`s also called the Path of Plenitude – thanking the Higher Forces for what you have and will obtain, as opposed to the Path of Emptiness, which consists of always complaining about what you don`t have.

Be Thankful For All 

This highly effective but simple process consists of being thankful for everything positive that happens to you in life, from the most minor detail to the most significant event. You can thank whoever you want – God, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, a spiritual master, a saint, or any remarkable being you may have met. All are representative of the Universal Creative Force. Or you could say thank you in a general way, to no particular being. The least important things you receive that benefit you in some way should be a pretext for stopping for a moment, and saying thank you. If it`s beautiful outside, be thankful it`s not raining. If you find a parking space with no trouble, thank your Luck or the powers that be. Eventually, you`ll forget about the pretexts to be thankful, and concentrate on the main thing: being alive! That`s the most beautiful gift you could ever receive on Earth. Passing an exam, finding a job, being healthy, or recovering from an injury or illness, meeting a friend, receiving a gift, being helped by someone… all are reasons to be thankful. Be humble and show your gratitude for simply being alive.

Worries Prevent Abundance 

I`m not saying you`re going to be instantly surrounded by wealth and happiness, and all your problems will disappear. But if you persevere on the Path of Thankfulness, you`ll gradually see your situation improve, and your troubles vanish. Being consciously thankful for everything you obtain will slowly but surely bring you prosperity and happiness. Don`t think about what being thankful can do for you, or ask for anything in return. The fact is, this path always ends-up producing a shower of benefits. 

It’s a Universal Law… the way things work.

Get In Touch With Nature To Discover Your Inner Self!


You need to be familiar with your inner nature to move forward in life. You have to know about your abilities and defects, what’s right for you and what isn’t. A good way of discovering more about your inner self is...

You need to be familiar with your inner nature to move forward in life. You have to know about your abilities and defects, what’s right for you and what isnt.

A good way of discovering more about your inner self is to get in contact with Nature as often as possible. The best thing is to seek out locations that have been left relatively untouched by human hands.

Find a forest near where you live, and spend some time there. Don’t think about anything special, just walk around among the trees, letting thoughts run through your mind without dwelling on any of them, whether they’re positive or negative.

On a fundamental level, all living organisms share the same basic Nature, whether they’re animal, vegetable or mineral. They’re all composed of atoms that form elements and cells, and they all vibrate at different frequencies.

Simply walking through a forest without pursuing any particular thought, good or bad, will put you in connection with Nature at its most profound level.

Take your time and walk at your own speed. Don’t force yourself, and don’t think about the time passing. Just let things be… natural.

When you least expect it, you’ll become one with your real Nature. In some traditions it’s called Awakening, but whatever you call it, it’s sure to do you a world of good.

Develop Your mind: The Path of Solitude

”You can’t resolve your problems with the same kind of thinking you used to create them!”  Albert Einstein



Solitude is considered one of the plagues of modern society. Although we have more and more devices to help us communicate, people feel more and more alone. But solitude has nothing to do with isolation. While being isolated may be difficult, you can always work on your personal development.  


You need to see the difference between isolation and solitude to understand how you can be isolated but not feel alone, and learn a lot about yourself in the process.

Feeling Isolated Is Terrible 

Isolation is a negative concept because people have no choice in the matter.
There are various reasons why someone might be isolated, all of which make up the fabric of life: mourning, divorce, death of a loved one, job loss, burnout, etc.
People sometimes find themselves isolated without realizing it. They don’t talk to anyone except the sales-people at the stores where they shop. We live in an individualistic society, and most of us are concerned only about ourselves and our own problems, and forget about what’s happening around us.
Think about it. If you know anyone in this kind of situation, you should reach out to them. In a way you need to tame them. How? By talking to them and offering to do things that, for them, could be a lifesaver. They’ll be extremely thankful and, who knows? Maybe they’ll be able to repay you in kind one day.
If you feel isolated, take small steps to change your situation. I know it’s hard, especially if you’ve been alone for a long time. What you need to do is regain your self-confidence. The best way to do that is to set challenges for yourself. You need to get out and talk to people. Talk about a TV program you liked to your baker, what the weekend weather’s supposed to be like to your butcher, about all the tomatoes you planted to the flower vendor, or even about the dog next door. It doesn't really matter what the subject is, as long as you communicate with your neighbors, your acquaintances, your family and friends, and the people you deal with every day. Call someone you haven’t spoken to for a long time, a family member like a cousin or an aunt. Or call an old friend just to say hello and aks how things are going.
You’ll see, taking the first step is the hardest and most important part. After that, it’ll be easy as more and more people start thinking about you.


The “Path of Solitude” Is A Blessing

My concept of the “path of solitude” is radically different from the way being alone is usually seen. A person who chooses the “path of solitude” makes a personal commitment, and doesn’t feel forced in any way.
The “path of solitude” is possible no matter where you live. You don’t need to escape like a hermit to some distant cave or desert. You can practice this ultimate spiritual path under any circumstances, no matter where you are.
The “path of solitude” will endow you with great control over your emotions, especially in extreme situations (death, separation, loss, etc.). It will also help you determine who you really are, and what you should really be doing with your abilities.


Clear Out What’s Around You

You can practice the “path of solitude” in the middle of a city if you choose, but the best thing is to be in a quiet place, where you can empty your mind without being distracted by outside sources.
Emptying your mind means being as relaxed as possible, and focusing your attention on a single point, without letting yourself become distracted by anything whatsoever, whether it’s something you see or smell, a noise you hear, something you remember, etc.
If you practice at home, the ideal thing would be to find a room that’s empty of objects. If that’s not possible, sit facing the wall, or stare at an image you’ve pinned up at eye level, like a mandala, a symbol, a drawing of a deity, etc.


Total Isolation

If you live in the city or share your life with someone, you’ll need to find a way to be absolutely alone, both physically and mentally, for at least half an hour a day, and longer if possible. Practice when no one else is around, or at least when things are at their calmest. If you live in town, your main enemy will be noise.
The best thing is to practice late at night, when the noise has calmed down, and everyone else is asleep.


Empty Yourself Inside and Out

The essential principle of the “path of solitude” is not having any distractions and coming face-to-face with yourself. You need to put yourself in a situation where you can’t escape, either physically or mentally, and are forced to contemplate only yourself.
Unfortunately, the society we live in has no lack of distractions, including modern communication devices, opportunities to get out and enjoy a show, music or food. In fact, with everything that’s going on, we hardly have time left over to dig deep inside ourselves for answers.
Finding reasons to blame someone else for our mistakes is human nature. What doesn’t come naturally is assuming our responsibilities, and questioning our existence.


Look Into The Mirror of Your Self 

If you practice the “path of solitude” by emptying your mind, not only will you avoid sources of distraction, you’ll stop putting off for later what you can accomplish right now.
When you’re face to face with yourself (sometimes after a difficult period of disorientation, since you’ll have nothing and no one else to focus on and blame) you can’t help but look into the mirror of your own being.
Only then will you really see yourself as you are, and start work on developing your qualities, and, if you’re courageous enough, transforming your faults.
Don’t be afraid of practicing the “path of solitude” on a regular basis. Not only is it easy, it’s also economical!
