Book Review: Choices and Illusions by Dr Eldon Taylor

“Life is indeed full of choices and illusions. What I know today is this: If we do not examine our illusions, they can take us far, far away from our intended path.” Dr Eldon Taylor in Choices and Illusions

Choices and Illusions by Dr Eldon Taylor is a book that will be great for those who wish to understand about how we can change the patterns that would lead us to greater happiness and fulfillment. Its newest revised edition has just been launched. The book was already a New York Times best seller when it was first released.

Well, I was invited to review the latest edition. I had said yes to the invitation, but do note that my post is not a compensated review. I said “yes” because the need to look into beliefs that we unconsciously buy into is something that I highly recommend doing.

How to Activate the Shift from Being Financially Stuck

“If you see yourself as prosperous, you will be. If you see yourself as continually hard up, that is exactly what you will be.”- Robert Collier

Poverty consciousness grows on you over time. You wear its cloak without truly realizing how melancholic it has been making you feel. Ever so often, you try to shrug off your struggle, with the justification that it is your fate or destiny to be poor. Without ever stopping to take a deep reflection, you can continue to merely get by, scrambling to make ends meet.

The vast majority of people are saddled with poverty consciousness by default. Mostly, we do not grow up in wealthy family backgrounds or have environments that help us develop mindsets of prosperity. Additionally, we are brought up on beliefs that are handed down over the generations about having to struggle hard for the money. Fed on a diet of limited thinking, we are programmed with poverty consciousness.

21 Signs That You Are Not In Prosperity Consciousness

“Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already.” – Marcus Aurelius

It is in the little acts that you may not be fully aware of. They could be telling of whether or not you or someone else is operating from prosperity consciousness or not. Yet, if you are engaging in these acts often enough, they are indicative of what is going on in your mindset.

Here are 21 indicative signs of vibrating in lack and scarcity…

1. Set a limit to what you can receive.

2. Find it difficult to charge what you are worth; thus always undercharging and giving discounts.

3. Have a tendency to hoard eg. hoard food, money and stuff that you no longer need.

4. Refuse or avoid paying for your share often enough; by either giving the favorite excuse of having left your wallet at home or pretending to fumble through your bag for your wallet when presented with the receipt for shared dinner meals.

How to Tap Into Wealth

“EFT is a mind-body-spirit tool that can help you transmute into the gold of who you are.” Wealth Tapestry

Money can be an uncomfortable subject for you, like many others. You may find it easier to talk about your love life and family than about your financial situation. Any talk on money and wealth potentially triggers plenty of emotional reactions. You may find that you love money and yet resent its power over you. You may reason that you can live without it, and in the next breath, claim that you cannot live without it.

Thus, money can be a source of great joy or utter misery for you. Because of the role that money plays, you carry these emotions into every aspect of your life. Whether you are able to travel the world, have a nice roof over your head or pay off your debt, your hopes and dreams are related to the possibilities that money can bring.

How To Practice Gratitude Prayers for Work

“Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.” John Milton

Source: Original image edited.

If you would like to attract more business, increase sales or have more clients, here is a tip for you: practice gratitude for your work. A sense of appreciation goes a long way. You not only say thanks to your clients but you also thank the Universe or God. The Universe obligingly responds by giving you more of the same.

Is the following scenario true for you? You have been thanking your customer after the transaction or purchase politely. However, instead of feeling really happy, you are mostly in a state of stress, exhaustion and overwhelm. You are busy with making sales calls, promoting your business and monitoring your marketing program. In fact, oftentimes and out of the earshot of your client – you are lamenting, complaining and feeling lousy about your sales, performance and work.

How to Propel Your Point of Power for Prosperity in the Present

“The Point of Power is always in the Present Moment.” Louis Hay

If you have been stuck in a financial rut for some time, you may believe that it is not possible to change your situation. You are feeling disempowered, frustrated and angry over the lack of progress. You are in agony, as you cannot find a way out of your problems.

Let’s take the example of being in a situation whereby you are barely making ends meet. Perhaps, you see that the problem lies in the job that you are having or it is because you have just started on a new entrepreneurial venture, which has yet to take off. Whatever it is, you are not able to afford the things you would like to have.

4 Ways to Cultivate Better Work Relationships

“Business is not just doing deals; business is having great products, doing great engineering, and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally, business is a cobweb of human relationships.” – Ross Perot

4 Ways to Cultivate Better Work Relationships
The article below is contributed by Eduard Ezeanu.

I can’t say enough about the crucial role interpersonal relationships play in work success. From supervisors to colleagues to subordinates, and from clients to suppliers to business partners, their behavior towards you isn’t based on your professional competence alone, but on the nature of your relationship with them as well.

People wanna to work with people they trust, people they collaborate well with, and people they like. And these aspects concern primarily their relationship with you, not your job skills per se. In fact, when you have good work relationships, many positive things are much more likely to happen for you.

How to Stop Money Worship and Create More Wealth

Money worship results from being in a state of craving. It happens when you are in hot pursuit of ventures for the sole purpose of making cash alone (without any desire to add value). One thing is clear when you are desperately wanting: you are in lack.

“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.” – Will Smith

“Money is usually attracted, not pursued.” – Jim Rohn

Money worship also happens from hankering after material items. You don’t feel like you will ever have enough. This puts you in a constant pursuit of money from having the belief that that money can solve all your issues. You dream about the time when you are able to buy a luxury good and finally feeling satisfied. However, by doing so, you are giving away your power to feeling happy in the here and now.

4 Ways to Celebrating Your Divine Abundance

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” – Oprah Winfrey

“Dream on it. Let your mind take you to places you would like to go, and then think about it and plan it and celebrate the possibilities. And don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t know how to dream.” Liza Minnelli

One thing that I realized recently is that I have not been tuning into the vibrational qualities of celebration enough.

For instance, I have been so focused on getting tasks done that I have set aside “celebration”. The thing is celebration involves attention. While it may not be necessary to always celebrate with a big party, it is important to spend a couple of minutes saying a silent prayer of thanks to acknowledge a gift or a blessing. (A gratitude journal is a great way to start, for instance!)
