Imagine you were
cleaning a lamp and a genie pops out offering to grant you one wish.
"You have three minutes to
make up your mind,"
He says.
So you think, for maybe two minutes, about all the things
you could ask for that would allow you live life more abundantly and give
you the time freedom to enjoy the good life. Then you tell
the genie. "I know! Grant me the
power to have everything I want."
And the Genie responds with,
" How
can I give you what you already have?"
It
is a simple fact of life that God gave you and I the power to answer our
own prayers in giving us the power to choose who we would be. We have this
awesome power because we are each individualizations of a God who
experiences life in and through us as us. Our mission in life is to wake
up to that reality!
Last week, I shared with you that Self-confidence is the most powerful form
of riches on the planet. Belief in yourself is the number-one key to your
being healthy, happy, wealthy and as successful as you could ever want to be.
This is so, because belief in yourself is like believing in God. In you it's
called self-confidence. To read last weeks message

Christ once said, "Praying knowing and your
prayer will be answered." This is so because you have the power.
Self-confidence is the key to exercising that power.
To raise the bar on your self-confidence,
you must
-
First, stop giving away power
-
and then begin to add, daily, to your
personal power
In last week's RICHBITS you learned how to stop the drain on your
personal power. We give away our power every time we tell ourselves a
victim story and we do that habitually. Hopefully, you've spent the week
stopping the power drain, discarding victim stories.
In this issue I will show you how you can add
to you personal power daily. Personal power shows up in the form of
self-confidence. Wouldn't you like to be ten times more self-confident?
Your true purpose in life is to finally come to know who you
really are -- an individualization of God. You'll make that discovery only as you learn to allow that power
to express through you as you. What that power looks like in you is self-
confidence.
You exercise the God power in you every time you step out
of the box to make a new being choice. Exercising that power in you is like
exercising any other muscle. It grows stronger and more powerful through use.
What you may not have realized is that every decision to DO
requires that you first make a BEING choice. You won't be DOING what needs to
be done without first making the appropriate being choice. Think about it!
Every reaction you have to life is a being choice. No matter what happens,
the very first thing you do is decide who you will be under the
circumstances. You do that automatically and most of the time
unconsciously. Choosing to be a victim of the weather is a being choice,
but not an empowering choice.
Every decision you make in life, even the little ones, requires that you
first make a BEING choice. Every thought you have is your way of choosing
who you will be in that moment. What I want you to see here, is that
choosing who to BE is exercising your God power.
But
there are two ways you can use that power. You can make empowering or
disempowering decisions.
For
instance, you render yourself powerless each time you choose to be a
victim of the moment or the circumstances. But you become more powerful
each time you step up to the plate being the one who can solve the
problem.
Since our mission
here is to make you ten times more self-confident, your next exercise, now
that you've stopped the power drain, is to use your decision making powers
consciously.
Each day, for the
next week, pay attention to each decision you make. You'll be making
hundreds of minor decisions each day and maybe some major decisions.
You'll be amazed at how many decisions are required in a day once you
begin to pay attention.
All I want you to
do this week is become aware of each decision made, big or small -- even
when you choose what you want for desert. And with each of your doing
decisions, I want you to notice that you've first made a being choice and
then a doing decision.
What's the purpose
of this exercise? --to empower you -- to make you ten times more powerful.
Your God power is exercised through making being choices consciously and
powerfully. With each conscious being choice made you've exercised that
muscle making it stronger.
And by the way,
the process of making being choices consciously throughout the day is even
more empowering if you'll ask yourself, each time, is this really who I
want to be? Having ten times more self-confidence could make you a magnet
for attracting money. Maybe that 's who you'd like to be!
Be
a magnet for money
In my next issue
of RICHBITS, after a week of being consciously aware of your being
choices, we'll go more into the subject of "Is this who I really want to
be?" And we'll get more into learning how to exercise your God power
through making small being decisions consciously and powerfully.
