Dean Graziosi Weekly Wisdom #9 - What Is Reality?

"What Is Reality? More Importantly, What Is Yours!"

What do you do when life dumps horrendous circumstances in your lap?

What if everyday feels like an impossible journey? Can events that at first glance seem bad, actually be good? What about the reverse of that? Can things that seem good, actually be bad? What if a lot of it has to do with
your view?

There's a story of a poor farmer who had only one old horse to till his fields. One day, the horse ran off into the hills. The farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?" A week later, the horse returned with a herd of horses from the hills and this time the neighbors congratulated the farmer on his good luck. His reply was, "Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?" Then, when the farmer's son was attempting to tame one of the wild horses, he was thrown from the horse and broke his leg. Everyone thought this very bad luck. But the farmer's only reaction was, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?

"Some weeks later, the army marched into the village to recruit every able-bodied youth they found there. When they saw the farmer's son with his broken leg, they left him. Now was that good luck or bad luck? Who knows?

This week Dean puts on his philosopher's hat to tackles a big question with a truth that's worked for him.

Take 6 minutes and watch this week's blog today. It just might change your life tomorrow.

what i am up to

i just joined the academy on wednesday, jan 21st. i want to log my progress because this is the year for me to start living and stop worrying about money. i was willing to live paycheck to paycheck until the checks got taken away-i got laid off. i am stepping out to do something different for a different outcome. just finished the overview and theres quite a bit to do.

the weekly videos are very encouraging.

Thanks Dean!

I agree completely! You need to realize that YOU have the power to create your reality. Everything you do now affects the outcome of your future. If you believe in lack, then you will create lack. If you believe in abundance, then you will create abundance. I know it sounds so simple, but it actually isn't. We receive 95,000 negative thoughts a day. Now we can either choose to listen to those thoughts and accept them OR we can control our thoughts by replacing them with what we WANT. For example: I am destined for greatness! I am a world champion! I can have whatever I want!
Focus on these types of thoughts and watch how your future changes!
You ARE what you think, and you think what you want! Try it for 21 days and see for yourself if it works, what have you got to lose at this point? Eye-wink

God bless,

Made reduntant once too often

Mornin all,
I would just like to comment about Deans weekly blog about 'perception'. FANTASTIC !
I have a possitive nature but it surely has been dented and tested over the past months. I actually joined Deans program in September of 08. At the time, we were dealing with my Fathers estate after his untimely demise and then my grand father passed away.. That left ME (the oldest grandchild) to deal with the legalities etc. Then (during all this) my wedding took place in October (could not be cancelled or put off but was a very positive wonderful event.. Honeymoon in Scotland). Then came Christmas.. the anniversary of my mum passing away. Then the an entire basement wall collapse and almost took the house down. On top of all this, I was made redundant (yet again) from the aircraft company which I was their tech advisor and pilot. Not to be out done by negative situations, I was dealing with legalities and family issues from here.. the USA !
You see, I'm English and all my family are over there.. Then my computer crashed and destroyed all of my saved material/emails/files and folders with regards to Deans Course... No backup! So here I am in January.. rolling my sleeves up and getting my head back into the course. I have essentially started from scratch again. The Weekly blogs, testimonials and overwhelming positive feed I get from Deans course is absolutely FANTASTIC. ! Life can ride you, or you ride life.
My new wife (Korine) has been a diamond and she has given me space to focus on this business, without pressure to get another job. I WILL make this work and will NOT be at the mercy of another boss.
My mother always told me that I will achieve wonderful things if i get a kick in the bum..
Well, I think I just got kicked.
Thanks Dean.. for giving me the opportunity to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
I look forward to actually meeting you one day and say thanks in person.

Warmest regards
Des.

Only in America!!!

Like many who bought DGs course the focus for me was to get out from my comfort zone and do something different. 'Think outside the box' as Dean always reminded us. I haven't done any buying yet but I am learning as much as I can before I venture into this world of millionier possibility, thanks to this site. Everything about this real estate thing makes a lot of sense to me and it can only be done through buying and selling houses. After all, all these well known millioniers make monnies from real estate, that should make everyone flinch at least I did. This year I have to face reality and become a doer and not a dreamer.

I am so greatful of this great nation that could make these kind of issues, dreams possible. May be one day when I make some money and make my kids live here happilly - I shall retire back to my native homeland in the South Pacific and enjoy the fruit of my labour. Before I do that I have to pick up my bag of tools and go out and shape my intended future.

I thank you DEAN G for all your encouragement and direction. May be one day I will send you to Fiji when I make enough money.

For the time being, I wish all you DGs students and all a happy house hunting and buying this year, go out there and make more millions.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL,

Viliame.

El Rey de la Carrertera

hi dean

when life doesn't feel good i do my best to feel better because when i feel optimistic, optimistic things come. when i feel love and appreciation loving and appreciative things come.
so i just do my best to put my attention on what i want to see more of. sometimes i hit the bullseye, sometimes i hit the trees,sometimes i miss altogether but it is always within my power and that is the greatest gift of all. we truly r blessed beings.

p.s.
el rey de la carretera... how perfect

here's to living the dream!

Hi Dean,

Just a note to say that I have learned that in most cases for me at least. That It's self holding you back. If we are not willing to change our habit's, then how can we expect a different result! Continued success always..........

I agree!

Dean you are so right!
