The ultimate goal in life is not money, nor fame, nor friend, nor power.

The ultimate goal in life is something called ‘peace of mind.’

Many people think, erroneously, that they will attain peace of mind from the attainment of a goal. But the peace of
mind these people seek NEVER arrives with the completion of a goal.

Momentary happiness – YES. But not peace of mind.

Now, here’s the ironic twist:

You obtain peace of mind in the NOW – by being creatively alive in the moment; by pursuing a worthy goal that benefits yourself and others.

You obtain peace of mind by DOING with the mindset of happiness already being available to you.

You obtain peace of mind by pulling in the positive emotions you experienced in the past – and projecting them into the NOW – as well as into your FUTURE NOW.

You obtain peace of mind by improving your self-image and along with it, your confidence – to the level where you KNOW you can accomplish whatever you set your mind on; to the point where you believe you can bounce back from whatever happens in your life.

You use your imagination creatively and believe that this God-given ability is superior to anything else in the entire world.

Each day YOU and I are given 1440 minutes. What we do with those minutes determines our future as well as how we feel in the present.

When we’re creatively involved in stretching our minds to become MORE than we currently are, we feel good about ourselves.

Consider for a moment one thing you can do today to move yourself toward a worthy goal. Then do it.

I can assure you, in the doing of that thing, your attitude will be different. You’ll feel different and be different.

Why?

Because you’re creatively involved in doing something good.

Now, to make life flow even more smoothly, always take a few minutes to enter your Theatre of The Mind. Imagine the person you want to be. Remember that in order for you to make a positive change on the outside, the person you see on the inside must change first.

You have two sets of eyes. The ones you use to observe who you are on the outside. And the set of eyes you use
to observe who you are on the inside.

Picture the new you each day and you will become that person.

For help in doing this, be sure to gift yourself the world famous Zero Resistance Living program the only program that does FAR more than help you achieve your goals and dreams. It helps you create what you want with peace of mind.

Instead of hoping for peace of mind and happiness from the achievement of your goal – which never comes – you have the happiness WHILE achieving your goal.

Instead of 15 minutes of happiness – you have a lifetime of it.

Which do you want?

Best,

Matt Furey

For years, I’ve been teaching people how to get fit, become prosperous and create the life you want.

More than anything else, I want you to succeed in every area of your life. That’s why I never hesitate to recommend what I or some of my allies can do to help move you forward.

Recently I discovered something very powerful that will help you achieve the kind of success you want and deserve… and it’s an easy fit with any of my programs.

It’s Creating Power – a truly fantastic program by Karim Hajee that is truly unique.

Karim has taken the most powerful and effective personal success secrets and put them into an easy-to-use-system that really works. He teaches you how to direct the awesome power of your mind and subconscious mind so you live the life you want.

By working with Karim’s simple program you’ll learn:

• How To Eliminate Fear
• How to Program yourself for automatic success in every area of your life
• How to Effortlessly Sharpen Your Strengths, Anytime You Need To
• Simple Steps To Create Empowering Beliefs and eliminate negative thinking so you enjoy life
• How to use your inner power to Enhance Your Intimate Relationships
• How to overcome setbacks, eliminate stress and achieve goal after goal

And that’s just a warmup… there’s a whole lot more you’ll learn with Creating Power.

I know there are a lot of personal growth and self-improvement books and systems out there.  Some of them are good and some are not so good.  But Karim’s Creating Power system is one of the best.

He takes you by the hand and shows you how to apply simple yet powerful techniques that really will change your life.

It’s true. All of us want to feel personal power.  But take a look around and you’ll see plenty of people leading mediocre lives while a few others (with the same level of intelligence and opportunities) seem to flourish.

Haven’t you known people who just seem to have The Midas Touch?  People who set goals and always seem to achieve them?

The only difference between them and their not so successful friends is that they’ve tapped into their personal power.

And that’s exactly what you’ll master with Karim Hajee’s Creating Power System.

Now, I’m not going to try and explain Karim’s system in this email.

But I am going to suggest you go here and take a look at it yourself.

It only takes a moment, and I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

So drop what you’re doing and go here right now.

In no time at all, you could be enjoying a much happier, more successful life.

Matt Furey

P.S. When you combine Karim’s Creating Power system with any of my material you soon become virtually unstoppable when it comes to setting and reaching your goals. Karim has set aside a limited number of copies at a special rate just for friends of mine… So get yours while there’s time and start creating the life you want today.

One of the greatest keys to greatness is knowing how to navigate through life without tension, without nervousness or fear.

Very few people know how to eliminate their fears. Instead, they are paralyzed by them.

Very few people know how to mount an effective offense to score the winning touchdown in life.

What’s worse is that most people have neither an effective offense or a sound psychic defense.

And most of those who manage to create an offense don’t know that a defensive strategy is also important.

In my study of Taoist kung fu, chi kung, nei kung and healing – you always erect an offense as well as a defense. NEVER just an offense. He who only has an offense will get slaughtered.

He’ll get slaughtered by physical and non-physical forces. And let’s face it, most of the forces we wade through each day are non-physical. Most people don’t come up to us and slap us, punch us, kick us or hit us with an object. At least not everyday.

Yet, when we spend time with others, why is it we often leave their company feeling drained, vampired, beaten, whooped and slimed?

It’s because we had no defense.

Almost all of the self-help gurus give you an offense with no defense. So you use their techniques and they work for a spell.

But as soon as your energy grows and you’re doing well, others come around and begin syphoning from you. They insert an energetic straw into your field and begin to suck and vampire the life out of you.

In fact, this may sound a bit spooky, but there are forces out there who attempt to do this to you while you sleep. This is just one of the reasons why many people have strange encounters while trying to get a good night’s rest.

If you’ve ever experienced ‘sleep paralysis’ – you know what I’m talking about. You can see and even hear everything going on inside your bedroom, but you cannot move your body. If this has ever happened to you – don’t brush it off and think it’s nothing.

It is definitely something. It’s just as much ‘something’ as walking into a room and feeling something wrong in the air. It’s just as much ‘something’ as going for a walk through Gettysburg and getting the creeps.

At the present moment the best thing you can do to take charge of your life is to get control of your energy.

Eliminate the negative energy attached to you. Don’t just try to picture all the things you want in life.

Clean your external field first. Then clean your internal energy. Think of taking a shower outside as well as in – in your imagination.

It’s not difficult to learn. And you’ll learn how from both me and Dr. Maxwell Maltz in the world famous Zero Resistance Living Program.

Right now you can grab the program for 50% off by typing ‘2009’ into the coupon code area when you place your order.

Along with each order I’ll be including some extra goodies that will help give you extra protection against negative energies and people.

Order NOW.

Not sure if you watched the video we put up two days ago here.

If not, make sure you go watch it NOW.

It’s from a LIVE seminar I had in October 2006 – wherein I was guided to tell this story in detail for the first time.

Since doing so my life has changed in many ways – and I’ve discovered that a lot of people experience an emotional healing while watching this clip.

Why.

Because 99.5% of people have emotional or internal scars that they have never resolved. And because these scars have never resolved, instead of them acting as spring boards to greater success – they serve as barriers that keep you from being who you really want to be.

Personally, from time to time I had told this same story to people over breakfast, coffee or tea. I had also written about it – as seen in the promotional for the Zero Resistance Living Program.

But speaking about it before a large group of people was a whole different experience. Energy began to build up within me and I found myself pouring out emotion at a level I could not control.

Twas a bit embarrassing at the time – but I kept going anyway as I don’t believe in holding anything back when I speak. I believe in letting the energy flow the way it comes up – and if this involves shedding a tear or two, so be it.

As I spoke, I never thought that others, just by hearing this story, would experience a profound acceptance and transcendence of their own pain, scars and struggle.

Turns out that by telling the raw, uncensored truth about what happened to me when I was 19 – I gave others permission to let their own guards down – to get real – and heal.

Make sure you pay special attention to the line: “Nothing bad ever happens to YOU.”

It’s a tough one to swallow in the age of blame – but acceptance of it may change your life in a heartbeat.

Go here and watch now – and tell your friends and family to do likewise.

Best,

Matt Furey

P.S. By the way, later today or tomorrow I’ll be putting another clip up that will contain one of the most powerful mental tools you’ve ever seen or felt. It will give you the power to plow through any and all obstacles in your path. Stay tuned.

Years ago a three-word slogan gathered much support. It was championed in an era when many were worried about teenagers adopting drugs as part of their life style.

The slogan – “Just Say NO” was both ridiculed as well as applauded. Yet, along with a mental picture of yourself saying “NO” and walking away – tis little more needed.

Same goes for the slogan I’m championing at this very moment: “Just Say Yes.”

Not 100% of the time. But more often than you are right now.

Open yourself UP.

Stop condemning everything that comes your way.

If you see the title of a self-help book and it rattles your cage – you probably need to read the book.

Nearly 20 years ago I noticed this about myself. I’d see a book like “Your Erroneous Zones” by Dr. Wayne Dyer in the bookstore. I’d immediately get pissed.

Why.

Made no sense, really – other than the ego trying to protect itself.

Eventually I bought the book – and all Dr. Dyer’s other book – and tapes. Ended up seeing him LIVE a few times too.

Learned some life-changing concepts and principles once I got past the immediate condemnation stage.

When I wrote my first book in 1996, a man told me that people go through three phases before accepting anything positive.

First, they condemn. Second, they get angry. Third, the evidence is so overwhelming that they eventually join in themselves.

Funny how the mind works.

When it comes to social media like Facebook.com – I’ve always condemned them. Saw them as a huge waste of time.

Now I’m not so sure. Especially after the results I got in less than 24 hours of just saying YES.

I honestly believe your willingness to OPEN and say YES to new things will be a far bigger indicator of where you’re headed in life than almost anything.

And so, contrary to what I’ve said and written in the past – I’ve switched gears and am giving social media a whirl.

If it turns out to be a waste, I will let you know – but So far it has been really fun and … cool.

So if you want to sign on as a Friend of Furey – here’s the link.

As this is going on, I am already making moves to join the other networks, so hang onto your seat. I’ll be joining you wherever you are SOON.

Okay, so let’s rip this thing up on Facebook. GO HERE and become part of the friends group.

The other day I got an email from a reader asking me how the economy is doing in China. He went on to say that he’s read the Chinese are behind the economic troubles in the U.S.

And yesterday, after making light of Prez Elect Obama’s nicotine addiction, a lady wrote to shame me for caring. She also chided me for living in China (part of the year) wherein it is presumed that no one has any rights – including animals.

Yikes.

Let me begin with the man’s question first.

Along the Pearl River Delta in China – also known as Guangdong Province, 10,000 factories recently closed.

Why?

Because there isn’t enough work for them to do.

Not only that, but current estimates state that another 20,000 factories will shut down by summer.

That’s 30,000 altogether.

This means that the 525,000 Americans who recently lost their jobs pales in comparison to the number of jobs being lost in China.

And so, to answer the question, NO, I don’t think the Chinese government is out to destroy the U.S. They’re having a lot of
troubles of their own – and they’re not pretty.

China, Japan and much of the rest of the world are counting on us to pull our heads out of our rumpus so that THEY can get on with the making of more things – and more money.

At present it doesn’t appear that our political leaders are in any hurry to do anything right for anyone. Even a bank knows you don’t loan a business dough without a plan – especially if the loan is in the BILLIONS.

But do not focus on what is going on in OUR country. Instead, we should be worried about those totalitarian commie thugs in Red China.

We should be worried about how they treat their prisoners – even when we don’t do a good job ourselves. We should be worried about how much religious freedom THEY have – when atheists get to put up signs next to nativity scenes in our own country.

We should be worried about animal rights in China – when the rights of unborn human beings are given no protection in the U.S. – even if through some miracle they’re born alive.

There is much I’d like to see changed in China – but there is even more I’d like to see changed in our country.

For example, I’d like to see stronger families. I’d like to see sons and daughters coming home from school, and in a Confucian way, taking time to talk to each and every family member, from the top on down, about what was learned.

I’d like to see children in our country taught how to set goals, how to make plans, and how to create what they want in life – regardless of the economy, government and so on.

I’d like to see people stop blaming everyone else for their troubles.

I’d like to see people stop looking for handouts and bailouts – and the government to stop giving them, unless there’s a real need.

I’d like to see people willingly reaching out to help those who are less fortunate – not by doing it for them – but by showing them how to take the power into their own hands – and do it themselves.

I’d like to see the elderly respected and loved instead of put to death.

I’d like to see good nutritional habits taught.

I’d like to see an end put to cancer, heart disease, diabetes and so on.

I’d like to see prayer, meditation and spiritual practice be something you don’t need to hide or be ashamed of.

I’d like to see all the child molesters, rapists, mass murderers and drug pushers sent to a remote island to live with poisonous vipers and mosquitoes.

I’d like to see the school teachers and priests who victimize children hung upside down.

And I’d like to see the U.S. stop policing the world when it cannot even take care of itself.

Yes, that’s what I want.

Is China trying to destroy or overthrow America?

Maybe later – but not right now.

But there are plenty of forces in America, who happen to be American born citizens, who seem to be working on doing so around the clock.

Make sure you’re not one of them by being a force for GOOD.

Being a force for Good starts within your own mind, with how you think and how you mentally picture the world.

When I look within, despite all the “stuff” on the outside that doesn’t look so good – I still manage to smile, relax, breathe and believe that everything will work out for the best.

Sure there will be tough times. But as Dr. Robert Schuller penned many years ago, “Tough times never last. Tough people do.”

Be one of the tough ones.

Matt Furey

P.S. Guess what. I wrote this email stream-of-consciousness in about 15 minutes. Most people who receive it are going to open it. And reactions are going to vary from A-X.

And you know what, I can teach you how to do what I just did – and show you how it’ll make you a fortune. Want to know how. Then go here and find out.

Decision Day is almost upon us. And I must say that for many people, this has been the most stressful election ever.

The last two months have felt like a continuous full moon to many people.

One thing I know, regardless of what is going on “out there” – you can still radiatie a smile from within – and enjoy peace of mind.

Let me give you an example on how I do it.

There was an attendee at my last seminar who left early and either forgot (or deliberately left) his notebook behind. Not sure which it was but it was snatched by the staff working the event so that it could be returned to him.

Well, here’s the catch: Despite standing up in the event and publicly bestowing praise upon me – his notebook was filled with anything but praise.

The staff person was shocked. She showed me the notebook and said, “Look at this. Look at what he wrote about you. Look at how he drew on your photo and wrote all over it.

I smiled as I looked at his lunacy. Then I said: “Remember what you’ve heard me say for several years now. Remain emotionally neutral about both praise and criticism – but wise enough to know when either can be turned to your advantage.”

“Yes,” I remember.

“Well, don’t sweat this stuff. It doesn’t matter. Neither does his praise when he stood before the room. All of it is either false or at bare minimum: temporary. None of it will last. Neither the praise nor the criticism is permanent. Neither is he. Neither am I.”

When it comes to politics, it’s very hard for people to remain neutral. It’s very difficult for people to realize, that no matter who gets elected, and no matter how difficult these promising politicians make life for us – it is unwise to let them rule your emotional world. Even if you choose to fight for or against a specific candidate – you can fight with the same smile the politicians wear almost everywhere they go. Smiling is one thing  you can learn from politicians and use for your greater good.

At first you may need to fake it. But with daily practice – you’ll radiate a smile from within that others can feel. This inner smile will attract others to you. It will also help improve your career, economic situation and health.

The more you practice smiling and finding something to smile about – the more you’ll be able to remain emotionally neutral and effective in any situation – including a crisis.

Keep this in mind today and over the next few days. Don’t let anyone or anything ruin your day.

Stand up for what you believe – with a smile.

And go for more of what life has to offer you – with this same smile.

This tip alone will help you magnetize greater wealth and success – because this same sort of smile holds the key to making your visualizations work like magic.

P.S. Want the keys to resistance free happiness and peace of mind – with a smile – then learn what Dr. Maxwell Maltz taught about this in his world famous Zero Resistance Living Course. Go and order NOW.

If you watched Michael Phelps throughout the Beijing Olympics, you probably noted that he followed a precise ritual EVERY time he got ready to compete.

He sat in the stands with his ipod earphones plugged in. When his race was called he came to the starting block, removed one of the plugs, unzipped his jacket … and so on.

Once he got on the starting blocks – just before the race began he put his hands behind his back and stretched. After this he leaned forward, swung his arms back and forth three times – then he was ready.

In an interview Phelps admitted that he does this same ritual before EVERY race.

Athletes and martial artists at the highest levels understand what Phelps is doing. Outsiders often think of this sort of ritual as superstition. Yet, it’s not.

What Phelps is doing is recapturing that “winning feeling” – and making sure his mind and his body are fully tuned in to what he wants to accomplish.

People who struggle in life don’t have a success ritual that they follow on a consistent basis. They’ve never taken the time to think about what they did and what they were thinking when they were at their BEST.

I take rituals very seriously because I know how they help you stay on the success path – or get back on if you’ve fallen astray.

Each day I do many, many things as part of my success programming ritual. I’ve outlined 101 of the various things I do in my new book, 101 Ways to Magnetize Money.

Even so, sometimes I do things that run contrary to my success ritual. The good news is I instantly feel that some thing is wrong – and i jump back on the path.

Last night, for example, I decided to watch the nightly political news just before bed. Instead of doing my closing success ritual – I let myself get bombarded with mega doses of “what if?”

This morning, upon arising, I noticed that I was a bit off. I assessed how I was feeling and immediately changed my emotional state.

How did I do this. I did it by opening my own book to re-read the things I wrote about. I flipped the book open to see what message I needed to re-learn for today.

The book opened to page 41.

I read the page – retired to my private chambers and began to follow the instructions.

There’s a saying in Chinese martial arts:

“Miss one day of practice and you know it. Miss two days and your teacher knows it. Miss three days and everyone knows it.”

I missed one day of evening practice and I knew it. I won’t let it go two or three – or more.

Why. Because I know the value of a success ritual. I also know the pain and frustration of a failure ritual.

Which one are you following.

If you don’t have one – or if you want one that is so high-powered that I, myself, don’t just write about it – I LIVE IT – then grab yourself a copy of 101 Ways to Magnetize Money NOW.

“History is bunk.” – Henry Ford

Aside from a pride of lions – there are two types of pride. One is essential to your success; the other a harbinger of doom.

In the positive sense of the word – pride means self-respect or dignity. You have a healthy and helpful attitude about who you are or what you’ve accomplished.

By healthy and helpful I do NOT mean a smug or gloating expression. Healthy and helpful pride is gratitude for what you’ve accomplished while realizing you are still human and therefore still prone to mistakes and failure. You realize that a very fine line separates a winning state of mind from that of the loser.

Therefore, when you succeed, you do not celebrate insanely – nor do you cop an attitude of superiority to others. This is a tough thing to do, especially if you are inundated with praise after an accomplishment of great magnitude. It is also difficult if you perform before a crowd in anyway.

If you succeed before a good number of people and praises are being sung to you from high and low – it is at that very moment that you are most vulnerable to the wrong kind of pride.

It takes exceptional character to allow praise to come your way as you smile, take it in – then, most importantly, redirect the energy. Failure to recirculate the praise dooms many whom otherwise would have gone on to succeed again and again.

One of the greatest lessons I learned from Dan Gable can be seen in the quote below:

“There is no mat space for malcontents or dissenters. One must neither celebrate insanely when he wins, nor sulk when he loses. He accepts victory professionally and humbly; he hates defeat, but makes no poor display of it.”

Yes, it’s great to let yourself feel good after a victory. It’s also important that you immediately set another goal that keeps your mind focused on the journey.

Use your previous successes as stepping stones to a brighter future. View your previous victories and the energy they contain in your mental movie theatre – but don’t for one moment think that your winning moments are YOU. They are not YOU. They are nothing but experience to be used for the positive.

The same goes with your mistakes, failures and losses. They are not YOU either. Like your victories, mistakes are lessons to help you learn and grow.

Keep in mind the three magical words uttered by Henry Ford at the beginning of today’s message: “History is bunk.”

These words will help keep you honest with your true self.

Matt Furey

“You need to finish something.”

The five words you see in quotes were said to me by my wife in the summer of 1995.

She got tired of watching me start something – get an idea for something else – drop what I was doing – start the new thing – get a new idea – start on yet another new path – then get yet another idea – and so on.

A few weeks after she said this I finished my first book.

But I didn’t stop there. Soon after I wrote my first book I created a set of three videos, then another book with a video – then another book and a set of audio tapes to go with it.

A couple months later – two more videos.

I was finishing things.

In fact, over the next eight years I finished so many things that I became prosperous in every sense of the word.

Then I backed off a bit on creating products and started doing seminars and coaching … helping others create.

Now, let me define the words “backed off.”

They mean: While coaching everyone in the creation process I started to create fewer books and course than I used to, or at the speed I once did.

Yes, I did write three newsletters each month, as well articles for magazines, as well as my daily emails, as well as my monthly CDs and DVDs.

Yet, even with the seminars, the coaching, the newsletters, emails, DVDs and CDs being cranked out each month – something was still stirring within my soul.

I felt I had done so little compared to what I’m capable of. There was so much more I wanted to write, to say, to record.

While this desire for more stirred within me – I also had to deal with the reality that I could retire if I wanted to and live a life of comfort.

I must tell you – the words “comfort” and “comfortable” are dangerous. You want to learn the art of mental, physical and spiritual relaxation – but you don’t want to learn the art of comfort. As soon as you get comfortable with what you have or what you’ve done – something inside you dies.

I can tell you, there are a lot of people who would love to write a book or create a product – but their lives are too comfortable – so they can’t get themselves to do it.

The word “maintain” is another dangerous word. Success is not about maintaining anything. It’s about continually looking for ways to make yourself better – no matter what.

And there is no better way to capture the feeling of success than finishing things you set out to do – then going back and recharging yourself by reliving those circumstances in order to program yourself for more of the same.

Finishing things takes desire, imagination and goals that get you moving.

Later this month I’ll be releasing a couple new books that I showed to members of my MasterMind last weekend. I think you’ll be in awe when you read what I’ve written. It most certainly is NOT a rehash of everything else out there.

So stay tuned.

In the interim, take a look at the Zero Resistance Living Course
