① Be Passionately Curious
"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."

②Opportunity
"In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity."

③ Imagination is More Important than Knowledge

⑨Learn the Rules and Then Play Better
"You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else."

"Our job as humans is to hold on to the thoughts of what we want, make it absolutely clear in our minds what we want, and from that we start to invoke one of the greatest laws in the Universe, and that's the LAW OF ATTRACTION. You become what you think about most, but you also attract what you think about most." - John Assaraf

It seems that ALL the Great Ones understand The Law of Attraction, and by REALLY understanding it to the point that it is literally branded, burned, stamped, sealed and embedded in our minds, brains, cells and DNA we can unlock our own True Godlike Greatness as well.

Having Lady Luck and her Cornucopia of Prosperity on YOUR side is both a MINDSET and a FEELING... Without the mindset, the abundance will not know where to go, and without the feeling, there can be no FLOW (of abundance).

Get in the KNOW and FLOW of abundance, first by KNOWing what you want and setting clear goals to get it; AND second by FEELING the emotions and FLOW of abundance into your life. Dream exciting dreams and feel how good it feels to have all your hearts desires become real (even before they do). 

Be grateful in advance --- knowing, flowing and expecting what you want to show up in your life, and be open to your manifestations being even more wonderful than you could have imagined!

Comment: Modern physics is more and more proving the truth of this statement. Chaos theory, quantum entanglement, and the holographic model of the Universe are a few cases in point.

I recently helped a new friend study for a physics final and when asked how I learned how to do what I do to be successful, I quickly thought of this quote from Jim Rohn.

And I was no stranger at all to formal education getting a bachelors degree in Biology and Physics from Georgia Tech and a Masters Degree in Physics from IUP in Pennsylvania (seven years total of college!).

Lucky for me that I was first introduced to network marketing in 1990 and even though I was not successful initially it DID plant a seed, especially the new idea of owning my own business and working from home.

After getting my Masters degree I DID teach for 5 years as an adjunct part time, but I continued my search for a home business initially through network marketing and finally through internet marketing.

But this did not happen by luck or overnight. I estimate that I spent at least $50,000 (probably more) on courses, seminars, books and audios learning from all the best internet gurus like Frank Kern, John Reese, Ryan Dyeiss, Mike Filsaime, Jeff Johnson, Jeff Walker, Brad Fallon/Andy Jenkins of Stompernet, Buck Rizvi/Brock Felt, Armand Morin, and many more.

And I continue learning and refining my skill set... Its a lifetime of continuing education in not only learning internet marketing, but also personal development. 

Personal development is a process of reprogramming your mind with a continuous flow of positive and inspiration thoughts from people already successful. I really do not know anyone who is REALLY successful who does not do this.

Listening to Tony Robbins, Wayne Dyer, Jim Rohn, Peter Ragnar, Zig Zigler, etc etc and anyone who inspires you to succeed is also EXTREMELY important. Why?

Because if you listen to these cds, mp3s or videos, you reprogram your subconscious for success. Without personal development at least 30min/day, your mind caves in to the negative thoughts and beliefs of your own mind, friends, family, media, religion, etc... This is essential!

Just felt inspired to share that today, and encourage everyone who has a 9-5 J.O.B. to start part time your own business via self education and personal development.

When I walked outside yesterday, I saw a very interesting piece of skywriting (pictured). It actually really inspired me, but probably not in the way the originator intended.

If it is not legible (probably because I was a little late to behold the message) , it is an equation reading:
U + GOD = ☺

(that's a smiley face on the right side of the equation).

I cannot for sure know the intentions of the person behind this message, but If I had to hazard a guess, I would say it was Christian-inspired.

On the left side of the equation, there is an obvious separation between "U" and "God" (God in this context probably refers to the Monotheistic notion of an all-powerful, all-knowing and omnipresent Creator separate from His Creation).

Since mathematics is a language, we may be able to rearrange this equation to something more interesting (and empowering to You).

The "+" sign in the equation can be understood from Set Theory as the "Union" of elements. In this case the elements being "U" and "God". So the equation implies that when U are united with God, the union is equal to happiness.

You ∪ God = {You, God} = {Happiness}

"∪" is the union symbol in set theory and since the equation is dealing with non-numerical elements it is more apropos.

You may think I am overanalyzing this, and you what, I probably am; but I taught math and physics at the college level for 5 years, so I just could not resist LOL!

The point of all this is that the left side of the equation has YOU and GOD as separate elements or entities.

And while the union of the elements equals happiness according to this "aerial" author, it separates you from god when say you are "NOT" smiley face, which can be an indifferent state, sad state, angry state, etc. Anything besides being happy separates you from god in this equation.

In light of quantum theory, and new understandings quantum biology and transpersonal psychology, etc. we need to "refresh" our notion of God as a creator separate from us to the radical idea that "We are Gods" or more personally, You are God. 

That is, You (and you alone) have created the "reality" you perceive. The Universe is magical and fluid and gives you exactly what you hold in your minds eye. What you believe, and hold as mental images become manifest in your life. You are truly the Creator of your life! 

This understanding simplifies the equation to 

U = GOD

Perhaps I'll find an "open-minded" pilot versed in skywriting to send THIS MESSAGE!
