There’s an old parable that goes as follows:

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up, It knows it better run faster than the faster lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it better run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.

The moral:

WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, YOU BETTER BE RUNNING.

Yes, part of life is about surviving tough times, times of crisis. And not just economic turmoil or the loss of one’s job. I’m talking about natural disasters, accidents and so on.

One of the ways non-survivor’s operate is a recipe for disaster. It can be found in their self-talk.

Here’s how it goes: Whenever a disaster strikes, they sit or stand around and repeat, “I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe what just happened. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it.”

“I CAN’T” is NOT survival self-talk. It cannot and will not get you out of trouble – no matter how big or how small.

“I can’t believe I got fired. I can’t believe I don’t have a job. I can’t believe no one will give me a job.”

All of these ‘I CAN’T’ statements lead to nothing but more frustration.

“I can’t believe our house is on fire,” won’t help.

“I can’t believe I just got in an accident,” doesn’t help.

“I can’t believe I got sick,” is ineffective.

The self-talk of survivors is more like the surviving gazelle and lion.

You get up, you acknowledge the situation, and you, metaphorically speaking, start running.

You don’t sit around and complain. Instead, you say, “This isn’t good. I better hustle. I better move and NOW.”

You ask yourself questions, “How can I survive this?”

And you act upon what comes to mind.

You ask for divine guidance and help. Don’t laugh. Faith in a Higher Power was ranked as the #1 key to survival by those who study this subject.

Belief and faith do NOT include the words, “I CAN’t.”

They do include, “i CAN AND I WILL.”

In addition to the above, study how to survive. There are many books on the subject – but one that you’ll hold near and dear is ‘The Survivor’s Club’ by Ben Sherwood.

Pick up a copy today and begin running.

Before my wife, Zhannie, emigrated to the United States from China, she always ended her messages the same way, “Bu yao tai nu li gong zuo.”

Translation: Don’t work too hard.

This statement always bothered me. I didn’t like it because I honestly believed that ‘hard work’ was the key to success in anything. Today, I have a different way of looking at the ‘hard work’ principle, and I’ll explain how in a moment – but first, what did Zhannie mean when she said, “Don’t work too hard.”

One day, while taking it easy at the aluminum factory in her hometown, Zhannie’s good friend was working hard in the assembly line.

Suddenly, an explosion.

The lady’s face caught on fire. She suffered third-degree burns. And never left the house again, other than to see a doctor, for more than ten years.

The woman’s beautiful face instantly scarred for life. And with the communist system of income, you can imagine the health care she received for her wounds.

Shabby at best. Until the doors opened to capitalism and doctors arrived who could perform the complicated operation she needed.

Under a non-capitalistic system, very few high-level doctors – or the money to pay a specialist if there was one.

Why no high-level doctors?

No incentive. Everyone got paid the same, no matter what.

Another worker lost his arm while working hard. Others lost their lives. In fact, my wife saw so much death when she lived in China she was numb to it. Life was not precious. Everyone was the same. Just an egg shell to be discarded.

So my wife’s refrain: “Don’t work too hard” – meant the same as the Chinese saying, “Yi lu ping an.” Travel safely.

Safety was valued far more than hard work. Don’t take a risk. Don’t do anything in which you could get hurt or injured.

When Zhannie came to the U.S. she no longer believed in the “Don’t work too hard,” slogan. She believed in taking risks, in doing whatever she could to make life better for herself.

At one time she held three jobs. She worked part-time in three different restaurants. She went to school at an Adult school to learn English. Later on she attended a junior college to learn more.

And she encouraged me to take risks, to write books, to give seminars, to increase my income and so on. She never said, “Don’t work too hard” to me AFTER she moved to the U.S.

Years later, when I began teaching Psycho-Cybernetics and Zero Resistance Living on this website, in my products and at LIVE coaching programs, Zhannie dived into the subject with enthusiasm.

From me she learned that the key to success is proper use of your imagination and something I call the Law of Practice.

Dr. Maltz called it “practice, practice, practice.”

But not hollow practice.

Enthusiastic practice. Putting your body, mind and soul into what you’re doing – but doing so in a relaxed way.

All great achievers do what they do in a spirit of calm and relaxation. They may pay lip service to the slogan, “It’s ALL HARD WORK” – but the reality is that when you work hard and are not relaxed – you’re not very effective.

The best of the best understand this. So next time you hear “it’s all hard work” coming from the mouth of the champion athlete or successful businessman – ask for video footage of him in action.

While watching him, you’ll discover an amazing fact: Even in the heat of battle, even when time is of the essence, even when your life may be on the line – the winners are those who make what they’re doing look easy.

Two summers ago I watched a man in Xinjiang Province in China walk a tight rope. I also watched him run on the tight rope. And I watched in awe as he stood upon a chair. He made the seemingly impossible look easy.

How?

First, he imagined being the tight rope walker he became.

Second, he practiced more than anyone else until he became that person (see pic below).

 Relaxed, enthusiastic practice is the key to greatness.Are you relaxed? Are you enthusiastic? Are you willing to practice more than anyone else?

Then nothing can or will stop you from becoming a successful human being.

I’m willing to place a bet.

I’m betting that inside your home you have a medicine cabinet filled with medicines that you currently do NOT need.

I’m also willing to bet that you have an assortment of other gadgets designed to eliminate unwanted ‘stuff’ from your life.

If you’re a man, you have razors, nose and ear hair trimmers, dental floss and so on.

If you’re a woman, you probably have even more gadgets to remove ‘stuff’ than most men.

Ever wonder whether having the medicines or gadgets is a form of ‘negative thinking?’ After all, wouldn’t it be better to ONLY visualize what you want?

Aren’t you saying to yourself, by having medicine and nose hair removers that something may go wrong? And if you’re setting up such an environment, aren’t you activating the Law of Attraction and causing it to happen?

Truth: There is a Law of Attraction. But there is also a Law of Polar Opposites – and if there is a Law of Polar Opposites, by law there must also be a Law of Dis-traction.

Law of Attraction – that which you focus on expands or contracts based upon how you focus on it (my definition)

Law of Distraction – that which you ignore may also expand or contract depending on how you don’t focus on it (also my definition)

For example, you can increase your health by focusing on doing the things you need to do to improve it.

Yet, you can also increase illness, overweight, etc. by being distracted by anything and everything but health.

And what happens if you get sick? Yes, you focus on seeing yourself getting better. But you also take immediate action to correct the illness. In short, you simultaneously implement Plan A and an ever-changing Plan B.

You move toward what you want and you move away from what you don’t want. At the same time.

Today, I think most people will agree that our nation is in great peril. Yet, it’s amazing to me how many people are playing ‘see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil.’

It’s amazing how many people are closing the blinds and ignoring what is going on. It’s amazing how many people think that if they ‘believe’ nothing bad will ever happen – that nothing ever will.

It’s amazing how many people think that you don’t need a medicine cabinet in the environment of your mind. They think that those who cry foul are negative, fearful, angry, resentful and so on.

They’re acting like the golfer who is totally unaware of the rough, the sand traps, the ponds and the pits – so he is continually in them.

They’re like the football receiver who doesn’t understand he must land with both feet in bounds for the catch to count. Don’t be negative and tell him that he was out of bounds. They’re like the musician who’ll never make it because she doesn’t want to be told that the notes she’s playing don’t sound good.

In Psycho-Cybernetics you learn that success is not a mistake-proof process. Success comes about as a result of making and correcting mistakes. You see the mistakes – and you change course to correct them while also continuing to move toward what you want.

Psycho-Cybernetics is also about building upon previous success experiences. It’s going back into your mind and excavating the BEST times, the times in which everything was better than it is now. It’s determining which courses of action led you toward positive results – which lead you toward negative – then choosing to move toward the best of both worlds.

When you set a goal and create Plan A, the truth is that it will NOT work out exactly the way you think it will. You will need to make adjustments along the way.

Constantly.

Whether you realize it or not, Plan A turns into a Plan B – and a Plan C. But only if you’re wise enough to understand the reality of this process – and go with it.

Going with it, however, means you must open your eyes, ears, and mouth. You must be willing to see, hear, feel and speak in order to hit your target.

Choosing to be blind, deaf, dumb and numb is not going to work. Nor is feeling that all is hopeless – or that there is no other way.

If you want to succeed at a level above and beyond where you are today, it’s essential that you learn all you can about how to mix your memory and your imagination together in such a way that you create a brighter future for yourself.

Remember your mistakes so you don’t repeat them. Remember your successes so you can create more of them. And let your imagination soar into the future as if you’re already there right NOW.

Create a Plan A – but make allowances for the plan to change.

Spend time each day in the Theatre of Your Mind – playing out the way you will respond to your successes – as well as to any emergency landings you may have to make along the way.

How to do this?

There’s no better way to learn than the world famous Zero Resistance Leaving Program – now available for half-off the standard fee.

Karl Marx, the heavyweight champion of enslaving the masses, was fond of saying, “Religion is the opiate of the people.”

Being that the Zen Master of the Internet has the same birthday as Marx, I feel that it’s my duty to adjust his saying a bit.

“Politics is the opiate of the people.”

There is no ‘rising up’ when you put your faith in government – yet that is what the politicians hope you’ll do.

And if you do, your vision for the future is bleak.

Anytime you view others as the source of your supply – you limit yourself.

Let me prove it to you:

Make a mental picture of the government giving you food and money and a job.

Okay, got it.

Now mentally pretend that God, the Universe, Infinity, the Cosmos, or whatever you choose to call it, is the source of your supply. Imagine that you are being supplied by the invisible force that moves the wind, shines the sun, darkens the sky and grows everything on this planet. Imagine that while the sun is shining upon you – you find the resources, learn the skills and take the actions that will prosper you.

Picturing the Infinite as the source of your supply will change how you feel. It will also change your world, the actions you take in it and the results you obtain.

Picturing the government doing it for you, on the other hand, will do almost nothing to give you a sense of happiness, peace of mind or fulfillment. It will only make you worse off than ever before.

I don’t trust politicians, and I wonder why so many people do, especially when the vast majority of them are NOT doing what is best for the people they are supposedly serving.

$700 billion in the fall – now another $819 billion – and soon after another $400 billion – and then – and then – and then.

There is no way we’ll ever be able to repay the money we are printing. We won’t even be able to pay back the interest.

Yet, we’re being told that all will be okay if we keep our faith in the politicians.

I prefer to place my faith in the Infinite – and the connection I have to it. I prefer to believe in a Creator who gave me and you the power of a creative imagination and the ability to make a heaven out of hell.

I prefer to use my imagination in a way that we’re not seeing on Capitol Shrill; a way in which we don’t dig a hole into the center of the earth in order to move upward.

All success begins in the mind of man through the faculty of his creative imagination. You imagine the way you want your life to be – and then you pay attention to what is going on outside of you to prevent what you’re envisioning from coming true.

In my study of Chinese martial arts I keep the following saying in mind, “Look forward – listen backward.”

This phrase alone will increase your psychic self-defense by 100 percent in a heartbeat. To create what you want in life you don’t just pay attention to the offensive maneuvers you are using. You also pay attention to what you need to do to ward off those who want to keep you from succeeding.

You imagine success – but you also imagine the WORST possible things happening and how you’ll respond IF they ever do.

Doing this will increase your chances another 100 percent, at least.

Michael Phelps won the 200-meter butterfly in the Beijing Olympics even though his goggles were filled with water for at least 150 meters of the race.

He couldn’t see at all.

How did he win.

He counted his strokes.

How did he know to count his strokes. Well, in his imagination he played out the worst scenarios and what could happen to prevent him from winning the gold. And one of those scenarios was how he would respond if his goggles filled with water.

When it happened, he knew what to do.

What’s your back-up plan.

Do you have a psychic shield up to defend yourself against all the negative energies permeating our world. If not, you better get one.

Have you mentally pictured what you’ll do IF our country undergoes a total financial collapse – or another terrorist attack.

If you haven’t – you might want to consider doing so. All studies show that those who survive when times are tough are the very people who did as Michael Phelps did when winning the 200-meter butterfly.

To get you started, go watch the two videos I have up.

Then make sure you order the world famous Zero Resistance Living Program.

P.S. Later today I’m going to film a powerhouse DVD filled with protections you can begin using to keep yourself in a positive state of mind, even if you’re fighting for your life. Stay tuned.

If you were able to see the thoughts coming from the minds of those who have and compare them to the thoughts of the have-nots – you’d be startled at what you discover.

Suppose you could look into your crystal monitor and see the past, present and future. You could look at the thoughts the have-nots were thinking for the past year – what they have today – and where they are going to be in the future… unless the program being played is changed.

Then suppose you could do the same with those who rose from poverty or a poor financial situation into one in which prosperity is flowing their way.

If you think the thoughts of the have-nots and the haves are the same – think again. The thoughts aren’t different because the haves currently “have.” No, the haves currently “have” because of how they’ve been thinking.

FACT: The have-nots use the phrase “I can’t afford it” over and over again. They frequently say this to explain to themselves that they cannot have what they want to have.

On the other foot, the “haves” use a different COMMAND when confronted with the fact that they don’t have enough money for what they want. And this COMMAND opens the gates of heaven to them. Their desire is fulfilled because they speak two magic words that the have-nots don’t
use.

Yes, the have-nots know these two words, they just don’t bother to use them whenever they want to have something. Instead, they say “we can’t afford it” or “we don’t have the money” or “our financial situation is not very good.”

One of the best “worst” phrases I ever heard was, “I’m strapped right now.”

Woooooaaaa. “I’m strapped.” Think of the mental picture this forms whenever you say this – and the feeling it creates. The person saying “I’m strapped” makes it appear as if he’s getting flogged or scourged.

Meanwhile, the person who is moving from have-not to have says the following before uttering the two magic words: “I really want to get what you have and I’m going to (blank) and (blank). I’ll get back to you soon.”

My friend, knowing and practicing these two magic words WILL catapult you to the next level of success and prosperity. Make sure you learn what these words are by finding the guts to get a copy of 101 Ways to Magnetize Money – already a best-seller; already a book that people are buying 5, 10, 30, 100 copies of and more to give to friends, family and business associates.

Make sure you get a copy to discover for yourself the POWER contained in the two magic words – as well as the other 100 mega magnetic truths being given to you.

P.S. Also, for those of you who already HAVE the book, you’ll recall that another one of the WAYS is becoming an expert in the art and science of writing riveting emails. Want to learn how it’s being done at the highest level – the Emperor level.

When your eyes first opened this morning, what were you thinking.

Well, as readers of 101 Ways to Magnetize Money have discovered, it’s really only one of two options.

Most people who’ve read and studied self-help have never heard about this very first WAY to keep your mind focused and centered on the positive.

In fact, many people wrongfully assume they are ‘positive’ – yet can never figure out why they have so much trouble manifesting their heart’s desire.

Maybe, just maybe, their unconscious programming is overriding their heart’s desire.

You’ll know which is which when you become aware of which thought you’re having first thing in the morning.

Now, just so that you know, your first thought is NOT about what you’re going to do today. It’s not about how much money you have – or want to have. it’s not about your body, your mind or anything else.

Your first thought is something that plays as background music in your brain every time you wake up – and the most amazing fact about this ‘music’ is you’re probably not even aware of what it is.

You will be from this day forward when you read and devour and utilize the principles, laws and concepts in 101 Ways to Magnetize Money.

Once you’ve come up with a goal you want to achieve, the next step is to visualize it in as much detail as possible.

After this it will be time to create a plan that will lead you, step-by-step to the goal.

A good plan crystalizes your vision and makes it far easier to achieve.

I realize there are some people who tell you that a plan isn’t necessary, that all you need to do is visualize. In some cases this is true. It is not true, however, in MOST cases, especially those involving big projects.

For example, would you trust the builder of your dream home if he refused to show you a blue print.

I highly doubt it.

You do NOT need a plan to come up with a goal – but sooner than you think, if you’re not formulating a plan, you probably aren’t making any progress.

Once you know the ‘what’ – it’s time to figure out the “how.” And if you feel stuck at this point, then ask for guidance. Ask and you will be directed to the answer.

Ask the Universe and you may dream the answer.

Ask others who are experts on creating what you want and you’ll be amazed at what you hear.

Then it is up to you to apply… through daily practice what you learned, until you achieve your goal.

Then you start over and DO IT again and again.

Never let what you do NOT know interfere with what you can come to know, understand and DO.

P.P.S. Today is the last day to enroll in my 4-Hour Workday Seminar for $500.00 off. It’s also the last day wherein you can bring a partner at no extra charge. Come to the MOST POWERFUL seminar ever.

When I’m in China and traveling with my brother-in-law, I note how he takes photos of almost everything.

At the airport he takes photos of the arrival and departure signs. He takes them of me getting my boarding pass. He takes them of the advertisements on the walls, the flight attendants. He even takes photos of text messages sent to him on his cell phone.

As the plane is landing, he’s taking photos of… the plane landing. “Runways are very interesting, aren’t they,” I say to him.

He laughs and continues.

When we’re in a hotel, he goes through the room photographing the bed, each chair, the desk, the fake flowers, the artwork – you name it.

Snap. Snap.

At a hotel in Zhengzhou he was taking pictures of everything in the lobby. Then when the manager approached to tell him he could not take photos of things in the lobby, he erupted.

She says, “Bu keyi pai zhaopian.” You cannot take photos.

He raises his voice and demands a reason. She can’t come up with one. He argues with her for a few minutes – louder than what we consider polite – and finally the lady gives up. He continues taking
photos.

“Calm down,” I say. “No need to be angry.”

“Who angry,” he says. “I never angry.”

And he means it. He may have raised his voice to get what he wants – he may have yelled louder than normal – but he insists ‘no angry.’

Nothing is funnier than the fact that my brother-in-law takes photos of toilets and urinals. In the airports; in the hotels; in restaurants, at temples – you name it.

Click. Click.

We spent a week in Thailand together. He got up from the table while I ordered the grub to photograph the toilet and bathroom. The other guy with us couldn’t stop laughing.

When he returned to the table, my friend asked, “Why are you taking pictures of the toilet everywhere we go.”

“Aaah,” says my brother-in-law. “Good question. I am putting together information to show the government one day. I want to ask them WHY in Thailand they have good toilet and bathroom but not in China.”

It’s true. In many places in China, the toilet is NOT a toilet at all. It’s the proverbial hole in the floor.

Now for something equally amusing. The first couple times I went to China, starting in 1993, when my wife, Zhannie, and I first married – I carried a camera with me everywhere. And I took photos of the bathrooms and holes in the floor.

Why, you ask. To show Americans back home: THIS is the toilet in China.

My photos of the Chinese un-toilets drove my wife mad at the time. Same goes for the photos I took of farmers walking down the street with pet water buffalo, motorcycles being ridden with helmetless young children and so on. To her the photos were pointless. To me they were priceless.

*****
Each and every day we take mental snap shots and movies of what we deem important, and we tune everything else out.

What are you making important today.

Your health, your business, your finances, career, relationships, level of knowledge – etc.

One thing you might find interesting, if you focus on being in a business you love and have a goal to prosper in that business – ALL the other goals you have in life take care of themselves.

Find out more about this in my new book, 101 Ways to Magnetize Money.

P.S. Last day to enroll in my 4-Hour Workday Seminar at the current fee. Jump in NOW –

Today I’d like to talk about visualization a bit – but mostly about how you will FEEL (as well as look) when you’re doing it the Psycho-Cyb way.

Quite often, those who leave my seminars and coaching write to tell me that even after several days – they’re still “BUZZING.”

Yes, they’ve got the right word.

When you visualize the right way, it’s like you’ve entered the Promised Land – the Land of Milk and Honey. Only difference is when you drink cosmic milk and honey – you don’t just feel more energized – you BUZZ with energy.

You vibrate at a whole new level.

This BUZZ can be detected by others, even if you’re sitting by yourself, calmly reading a book – eating a meal or having a conversation.

It can be felt by others when you enter a room. Tis why people respond to you differently when you’re regularly Psycho-Cyb’ing yourself – or getting Psycho-Cyb’d by me.

When you’ve been Psycho-Cyb’d – your face takes on a whole new look. Pain and frustration are replaced with a Cheshire cat grin. The cat has been let out of the bag – unconditional happiness abounds.

You realize you can be happy anytime. Not just when you achieve a goal – but on the path to the goal.

As you progress into more advanced studies in Psycho-Cyb, you will discover that others begin to BUZZ when they listen to you talk, when they read your written words – or when they simply hang around you.

I was first made aware of this in 1988, a year after picking up, reading and LIVING the principles I teach today.

I was in Ashland, Oregon, working a wrestling camp. Upon being introduced to another coach, we shook hands. He then turned to the man who introduced us and said, “Wow, what’s going on with this guy. He’s got some energy, eh.”

I had no idea what the man experienced – no idea what he was even talking about. But I do today.

He was not referring to the strength of my grip – as I never shake hands with a finger-breaking grip. In fact, my handshake is surprisingly soft.

What he was referring to was the BUZZ coming from inside. The electricity inside the handshake. An electricity that makes people feel welcome and energized when they meet you.

How’d you like to have some of this electrical BUZZ, too.

You can develop it when you study what I am teaching.

Matt Furey

P.S. Due to limited Internet access I am a bit behind schedule with the information about my September seminar. It will be coming soon and when people see the irresistible offer being made – the room may fill very, very fast. Get ready.
