the ROYAL ROAD OF RICHES

Introduction

Have you ever known you were destined for something? I have known all of my life I was bound for greatness and great wealth.  Do I have greatness and great wealth?  In my mind I do.  I see it everywhere I go.  It is in my dreams, my daydreams my night dreams that is all I can think of most of the time.  I know there is more.

This attitude has taken me through being shot in the chest with a 38, a stroke, several major surgeries and 4 heart attacks, three head on collissions, several divorces, and losing the one I thought was my Love to end all Love.   I still believe the cloud has a silver lining. Each and every day I know I am closer and closer to my city of Gold, my El Dorado. 

I have discovered that heaven is not in the here after, but in the here and now.  Hell is here now also if I allow it to be.  All I have to do is change my mind and the way I see the things that happen to me.  It is not what happens to me, but my attitude toward what happens.  Every thing is a blessing or a curse.  It is only in the way I perceive any event.  I can triumph or be devastated.  It is always my choice. 

Any time I can step back when events occur and say to myself Now isn’t that interesting.  In that first moment I make the choice to be a winner or a loser and I am a winner.

The mind is a peculiar thing to behold.  You can live totally in the memories of the past or the fears of the future.  Now the past is gone I can’t change them but I can choose how to look at them or whether or not to look at them.  The future is not here yet, and I can choose to fear it or I can choose to live in the here and now and be in the gift of the moment.  That is why it is called the present.

We create all that happens to us by the thoughts we have, the actions we take and the attitude we have. 
Have good thoughts and have a good life.  Have bad and sad thoughts and have a sad and bad life.

The Bible tells us to “be ye renewed by the renewing of your mind.”  Over and over the scriptures tells us.  As you believe in your heart so it is.  If you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains.  Are there any mountains in your life you wish to move?  Join me on the Royal Road of Riches and find out how to move these mountains. Why is it the road of riches and not the road to riches?  The riches is the road we travel, not our destinations.  So join me on the Road OF riches.

CHAPTER ONE

START WHERE YOU ARE

The first thing we have to do is start.  We do that by taking a good hard look at where we are right now.  It doesn’t matter where we are or where we think we are.  It is never as bad as we think it is 

The great thing about the mind is the way it multiplies things.  It will take the smallest item and the next thing you know it is Mount Everest.  Likewise it can take the plainest guy or girl in the world and to you they can be the handsomest or the most beautiful if you think they are.  We see what our mind wants us to see at all times.  No we aren’t crazy we are just so amazingly creative.  We create every thing around us. 

The first lesson in “ A Course in Miracles’ tells us “Nothing I see…means anything.”  The second lesson tells us “I have given everything I see…all the meaning it has for me.”

Does this mean nothing is real.  It means it is only as real as we think it is.  We give the meaning to all we see, feel and experience.  We create our own heaven or hell, right here, right now.  We are never punished for our transgressions, we are always punished by our transgressions.

The Royal Road of Riches is not a destination, it is a journey, it is an experience, a process.  This can be joy or not, it is our choice.  But you say your life is not joy.  So, make another choice and do what is necessary to get what you believe to be joy into your life.

Is that man or woman treating you bad, why are you allowing it to happen.  You say you have no choice, yes you do, you always have a choice.  Sure it may be rough for a while if you leave, but think of the peace of not having that other one around.  But then again, remember if you think the problem is someone else, that is the problem for it is never some one else, it is always us.  Take a good look at what is the only constant in all of our problems or situations.  That is right it is us.  We are the only constant in every situation.  So, if that is true and it is.  Then the problem must lie with in us.  It always does for we create out lives by our thoughts, our words and our actions.  Don't just think positively, speak positive, live positively.   We are magnets as we change what we are attracting, by our thoughts, words and actions, we change our lives.

Don’t even think of changing that other person.  We have no control over others, only over our own actions. Take responsibility for where you are, you brought yourself to this point in life.  Once we leave home then we can no longer blame others. 

If there was a less than a good life with your parents, even abuse  GET OVER IT.  There is good news.  If you were abused, you will never abuse another, for in actuality as you abuse others,you are the one being abused. You know how it felt and you will never do that to another human being.  What ever mistakes you saw your parents make you will never make those in your own life.  You make make others, but not those.

You have a chance to have everything you have ever wanted.  Did you hear, I said everything you wanted not just anything.  If I said anything I would be limiting you and there are no limits on you.  You are an unlimited, highly creative being.  There is nothing you can not  do, be or become.  Live in this new sense of freedom.

Your life is yours to live any way you want to.  Oh, you have responsibilities now, well whose choice was it to have those responsibilities.  If they aren’t yours then leave them to who they belong to.  If they are yours take care of them and your time will come.  When do you start?

CHAPTER TWO

START NOW

So we start where we are and we start now this very instant by making a conscious decision that our live is going to change and we are going to change it.  No one is going to change it for us.  We have to do this for ourselves.  If someone else could change us where would our freedom, our liberty, our choice be?  It wouldn’t we would be automatons or robots, which many of us have allowed ourselves to be. 

That can and will change this very minute.  Say right this very minute, 
aloud or to yourself, I am free, no one controls me and I control no one.  I live my life and I release all those around me to live their lives.

If you are in a dangerous position take the first chance you have and run to freedom.  If you have children get them out of there.  There are always places you can go to seek help.  If you are in a small town.  Take every penny you can lay your hands on and get of there to a larger city where there are agencies to assist you.

Yes it may seem hard at first but the more you think about it the easier it will come.  For Life is only an idea.  Whatever your idea of life is that is the way it is for you.  Think it is hard and it is.  Think it is easy and it is.  It may not change instantly for your mind didn't get in this state instantly.  it took time.  The good news is, it doesn't take nearly as long to get you out as it took you to get in.  From this moment on you are free.  Doesn’t that feel good.  Close your eyes and imagine or pretend how good that feels to be free.  Never again in bondage to anyone.  You can do it.  I believe in you. I know you are greater than you think you are.

You are numero uno.  You are number one.

CHAPTER THREE

YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!

I cannot repeat this enough YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  If you get nothing from this book, get this, YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.

YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE. YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE

YES, YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.

There is nothing you can’t do.  If you can think and feel it, you can do it.  If you can think and feel it, you are it.

At this time it is in the invisible where all things begin.  If you desire it, it is from god.  God sends us nothing that is not from him.  If it harms no one or anything and benefits you, it is yours.  This is a very great power we have.  It is our responsibility to use this power for good.  We are so powerfully creative, there is nothing we can not bring to pass if we only believe. 

This is the secret to it all, we must believe in the one that created us to be  so  creatively powerful.  Most of all we must believe in ourselves. 

The Key is to believe in yourselves.

CHAPTER FOUR

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Yes the key is to BELIEVE IN YOURSELVE.  Do you think Bill Gates has self doubts. YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  Remember this always. YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.  There is no one else on earth like you.  You are an individual.  You were created for a special purpose.  There  is a job only you can do, no one else can do this job for it is yours.  It may be to give birth, raise and educate the next President of the United States or the Dali Lama

There are no small jobs.  What ever you are doing, do it to the very best of your ability.  If you are making the bed, do it the very best you can.  Even something as simple as making the bed. Do it the best you can.  It is a life principle.  Anything you do comes back to you.  Do something Half – way and you get a half-way life.  It is true anything worth doing is worth doing right and doing right the first time or at least doing to the best of your ability.  You have to believe in yourself.  There is a saying that the one eyed man is king in the land of the blind.  There are a lot of blind people out there.  Meaning you may not be an expert don’t worry very few people are experts and anything you know is more than they know.  Don’t rip off anyone but don't let the I’m not an expert excuse stop you for no body is when they first start.  They just do it and learn as they go.  JUST DO IT.  Believe in yourself for YOU ARE  GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE.   I don’t even know you and I know YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE. 

Believe in yourself.  The one thing consistent in all of the miracles of Christ was he told each and every person “it is done unto you as you believe”.  I am telling each and every one of you “It is done unto you as you believe”.   Just Do It and Do It Now.

Who am I to preach to you.  I am someone that had the worst attitude in the world and everything you can imagine happened to me. Divorces, was shot, Stroke, heart attacks, no money.  You name it and it happened to me.  Been there done that.  No more.  My life is great.  Wonderful relationships, travel, the good life and it is getting better. 

Secret is If I help you then I’ll be helped.  Whatever I do and think about and for others will be true for me.  So I want the best for you now and always. 

I don’t want to give you a hand out.  I want to give you a hand up.  I want to teach you that you do not need to depend on anyone, but yourself.  The helping hand you need is on the end of your wrist.

Every day brings us a new start and you can do it.
