I wanted to share a wonderfully inspiring letter someone shared with me a long time ago (way before The Secret). Print this out and read it whenever you need a boost - it makes my day every time:

It so happens that I am a millionaire, in that I own a company that I created that is worth at least seven million dollars, and I earn an income of over half a million a year. I started 22 years ago with a degree in Philosophy/Religion and a borrowed pencil. I have been diligently exploring prosperity ideas, learning and teaching them for most of the last 20 years.

1.
The big secret first: Our physical world is a dream world, and it
works just like dreaming, but generally slower.

As you acknowledge the dreaminess of it, and begin to work with
it from that perspective, the apparent speed of action increases.
The way to direct the world is through your imagination and will.
Exercising your will strengthens it. You can exercise it by doing
something unpleasant until it becomes pleasant.

2.
You receive through the same doorway through which you give. The
way to receive freely is to give freely. Quality is more
important than quantity, since the universe amplifies thought
into circumstance. Begin giving, and let God perfect your giving.

3.
Forgive God. Loving your neighbor is loving God. Forgiving your
neighbor is forgiving God. When you think you see a lack of God's
love or grace in any condition, look again. Look deeper.

4.
No matter how you stumble and fall, are unable to meditate, turn
your attention from your real self for years, hurt and are
indifferent to the love of those around you, get back up and
expect forgiveness from God, and accept Its grace wherever you
find it.

Whether your friend or your enemy gives you something, it is a
gift from your own true self.

5.
Do not waste energy on the impossible. Do not try to convince
anyone or change anyone's mind. Do not ask others to make choices
for you, do not make choices for others. Both of these are
illusions and a denial of the love of God.

The best thing you can do for anyone else is help them make a
conscious choice, so that they can learn from it. The best way to
teach is by example.

6.
You are wealthy now with an abundance of what you are thinking
about. The world is a creative engine, and will create whatever
you are really thinking. Every thought in your mind is a prayer
about you, no matter who the subject seems to be.

The only way to manifest lack is to hold something against
someone else. Give up all thoughts of offense, revenge, of being
injured, of self-justification, of needing to defend yourself
against others' expectations, of the unfairness of life, of
others getting some unearned advantage.

Joy breeds joy and sorrow breeds sorrow. When you hear of
someone's good fortune, think, "Good for them! God is blessing
and prospering them, and I bless them also!"

Charles Fillmore says, "The inexhaustible resource of spirit is
equal to every demand. There is no reality in lack. Abundance is
here and now manifest!"

And he is absolutely right!

7.
Trust yourself consciously. You really do anyway! The key to
mastery is to acknowledge reality. Reality is a simulation. The
future pours into the past through the funnel of your thinking.
Change what you are thinking now, and the future will take care
of itself.

8.
Your life is in a dynamic balance, based on your present
thinking.

What happens when you take two percent of the amount on one pan
of a balanced scale and put it on the other side? Of course that
now-heavier side goes down, the other goes up, and the change is
complete.

Two percent of your waking, non-working life is ten minutes a
day. Ten minutes a day of concentrated thought will change your
life completely. As a starting point, you might print this
message out and read it daily for one full month. When things
start to change, don't get excited and distracted, but stick with
it. Don't talk it away to others. Let the energy concentrate and
build. The only thing God knows how to make is a miracle.

9.
You don't earn it, you learn it.

In any challenging situation, ask yourself, "What am I trying to
learn here?" Then begin to act on that principle. Experiment with
your life. Invest in your relationships by taking risks in your
communication.

10.
When you are stuck, find someone else with a similar situation,
and teach them what you have learned so far. (Often they will
come and find you!) Until you give it away, you don't own it.
This goes for wisdom above all things.

11.
Understand that you will never create a situation that you can't
learn from. What would be the point? God is with you every moment
-- it's God’s job. "I can handle this with God's help" is the
beginning and the ending of faith.

12.
The only limitations are self-limitations. Let abundance begin
right now.

Watch out for the tendency to "Name it and blame it."
Responsibility is the opposite of blame. When you blame yourself
or others, you temporarily deny your power to create (which is
wasting energy on the impossible again.)

Sooner or later, everyone in your life that you think is
preventing you from being or having whatever you want will either
die or move away, and you will find out that the condition is
made in your own mind. Why not act on this awareness now?

13.
If you are alive, you deserve to be abundant. God wants you to be
abundant. God is more willing to give than we are willing to receive
-- no matter how willing we are to receive.

14.
We are infinite beings pretending to be finite. Forms and conditions
have been created to escape the limitations of formlessness.
But let's not forget who we really are, and let's not pretend too
hard.

The first step to abundant living is to relax, the second is to
focus attention, the third is to concentrate, the fourth is joy,
the fifth is to allow manifestation, the sixth is to give freely,
the seventh is gratitude to the True Source.


15.
Clean out your closets, have a garage sale or give it all to
Goodwill, but let go of all that spiritual cholesterol that is
clogging your arteries of good.

16.
Give of yourself to those groups or individuals that you see using spiritual principles in a way that you would like to have grow in your life. The secret to giving is to understand that you are giving now, through your thoughts, and that conscious giving is just taking control of a process that is already occurring.
Regular, conscious giving builds your conscious power to accept God's abundance in your life.

I say give of yourself where you feel good about giving -- where you can give without doubt or restriction. If there is no such place, create one. Give with no strings attached, and receive the same way.

Thank you for sharing with me the opportunity to express on this subject. I have been enormously blessed as a result.

Thank you for the time you put into this post., it's a good one.

I especially like number 10. It reminds me that "You don't really know something until you can teach it to someone else"

superstylefactor

Amen to that! and in teaching others, you learn as well!

Thanks for number 12! I learned that wasting time feeling bad and spending time working on something is of similar energy consumption...
