Question of the Day:

Matt,
What’s the difference between needing something and wanting something? And does being needy prevent you from becoming wealthy?

Answer:

When you need something, it’s usually a matter of survival. You need oxygen to breathe, you need water to bathe, you need food to eat and water to drink. 

Just because you want something doesn’t necessarily mean you “need” it. For example, no one needs to be a billionaire. There are those who want< that amount of wealth, but do they "need" it. Not a chance.  When you really want something, you don't need much of a reason. You probably want it for its own sake. If someone asks, "Why do you want that?," you don't have an answer other than, "Because I want it." I did not become an author because I needed to become one. If there was no such thing as money, the desire or want to write would still be there.

Strangely enough, many people are surprised when those who do what they want out-earn those who do what they think they need to do to put food on the table, and so on.

Today’s question is about the so-called Luck Factor, and whether the practice of Theatre of the Mind increases it.

Matt,
I gotta tell ya, when I practice Theatre of the Mind it feels like it makes me luckier, if that makes sense. After practicing it I feel better and is seems to me that when I feel better I get better results in whatever I am doing. I was always taught that there’s no such thing as luck but now I’m wondering if these old sayings about hard work being all there is are holding us back.

M.F. Thank you for this question, Jane. It’s a good one. There’s an old saying attributed to Thomas Jefferson, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” And there’s truth to this saying. At the same time, millions and millions of people work incredibly hard and they don’t seem to get any lucky breaks… at all. Then there are those who are lazy, and not necessarily talented, and somehow, they rise to the top. So there’s a lot to this luck notion.

Here’s what I can tell you based upon my experience, and the experiences of those whom I coach. When you relive past, positive experiences in the Theatre of the Mind, and you do this BEFORE picturing a goal, your energetic field is instantly changed.

Instead of feeling blah, you feel happy. And you feel happy NOW, even before you’ve achieved your goal. This happy feeling then makes it far easier for so-called coincidences and lucky breaks to come your way. In fact, there are neuroscientists who have studied this phenomenon, which I’m going to cover in far greater detail in the October edition of Theatre of the Mind Masters.

For now, realize that what you picture in your mind influences how other people respond to you, as well as how the subtle energy of the universe responds to you. If the mental picture you have in your mind is geared toward happiness and success, good things follow you more closely than someone whose predominant disposition is negative. This is one of the reasons why gratitude is so important. And by the way, even though the practice of Theatre of the Mind is not referred to as “gratitude,” it most certainly activates this quality within. When you take the time to remember and review the positive in your life in the mental movie theatre, you feel happy now, regardless of where you are on the road to your goal.

P.S. To ensure that you get the forthcoming October issue of Theatre of the Mind Masters, where I go into major league detail about activating LUCK through Theatre of the Mind, click here. 

It was a mind-expanding 20 pages. It was loaded to the gills.

Loaded with practical, immediately implementable “goal-getting” information.

YESSSS!

I sent the August edition of Theatre of the Mind Masters out early this morning.

Here’s a brief snippet:

“Always remember that QUESTIONS are more powerful than affirmations and self-talk statements.

Questions pull the bow string back so the arrow can fly forward.

What do I want to create or accomplish today? – this question sets the stage. It puts the WHAT before the HOW, where it rightfully belongs.

How am I going to create what I want? – this question comes second. It tells your mind to look for and find the answers that will help you create the result you seek.

If you get these two questions out of order, instead of your horse racing around the track, it is stuck in the mud.”

Also, in this issue, the Waterfall Visualization Exercise. This one is designed to clean your field of negative energy before you practice Theatre of the Mind. It also teaches you to put a protective shield of energy around yourself so that other peoples’ negativity doesn’t affect you, something mucho important when you go to work and/or are dealing with others who want to drag you down.

And then there’s the Empty Space Exercise, where you quickly rid yourself of anxious or worrisome thoughts. I find this especially helpful when driving or flying for long periods of time. If you are an impatient type of person, this one will work wonders for you.

On top of the above, you’ll read about the 8 Unrevealed Truths About Visualization… and

Self-Talk Secrets You Won’t Learn from the Gurus and Life Coaches… these will blow your mind… especially when I reveal the FIVE different openings to use for all these self-talk statements. 

And then, there’s the piece about bypassing ALL self-talk statements with empowering questions.

Again, 20 riveting pages that will expand your mind and take you to the goals you’ve set for yourself.

If you want to receive this issue, you need to ACT QUICKLY.

Here’s the link.
