		<description>Hi Randy, changing the subjet, I wanted to ask you something, I am listening to the audio &quot;How to earn at least 100,000.00 a year in MLM&quot;,  there you were talking about a casette you  made about the differences between vitamins sold at the farmacy  and the ones on the MLM companies. Do you still sell it????, I was looking in the success store and didnt see it.

Thanks for your help,
Looking forward to hearing from you

		<description>Thanks for your latest blog Randy, you always get everyone thinking outside of the herd mentality.  Myself included!

Ok so, you got me really thinking about all aspects of my life. I do have one friend who calls me on my stuff and I can do likewise with her. It&#039;s really sad to realize that all family conversations run the gamut of the weather and other trivial matters instead the important stuff. My sister and I are a little better at this but there is still alot of progress to be made.

I think my spirituality is growing but coming from the strict background that I came from (raised as one of Jehovah&#039;s Witnesses) I find I am having a hard time letting go of certain doctrines. In particular, God&#039;s people are not supposed to be wealthy.  We come again to those scriptures in the bible that state&quot; it&#039;s easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.&quot;

You mentioned to me before that the bible is an amazing book on prosperity. Would you care to expound on that?  I&#039;m sorry but I have just never viewed the bible in that way. What am I missing?

As far as my health , I am working on it. I excersise every morning before getting ready for work. I am also eating better. I just keep reminding myself that it is ok to do something good for myself without regard for others. 

 No one is going to do any of this personal development for me  but me. My progress has been slow but in some aspects steady. Relationships and money seem to continue to be the stalemates for me. I am working on them though. 

When you were really working on your stuff back when, what did you do to get past areas where you get stuck? I would really like to read you insights from your experience on this as well as your thoughts on the prosperity angle  of the Bible.

Thanks for all you do. I hope you are having fun in Thailand. 
Talk to you soon,

		<description>Randy,

Wonderful post (as always)!

One quick off-topic (then again, maybe not :) ) question:

I am reading &quot;The Science of Mind&quot; and remember you mentioning the CDs that you play when you&#039;re asleep.

I need to get these, and have done a few searches on the Blog and the emails and am obviously not entering a successful search querie.

Would you please post a link where I can purchase these CDs (and a recommendation of which CDs are congruent with your philosophy).

Thanks again!

-David</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been thinking about this for a few days- &quot;What am I attracting&quot;, and how it relates to my ideal life.

It sounds like there&#039;s some perfect life out there if you just attract the right things, but that would be naive.

For people who are reading your blog, you&#039;ll NEVER get someone who is totally happy with the money they&#039;re attracting- the people who follow you always want more- like I&#039;ve heard you say too.
As far as relationships, they can ALWAYS get better. Same with everything else, right?

I&#039;m reminded of that prayer: &quot;I love what I have, I just want more&quot;. 
It seems like that would be the ideal situation- loving what you have, but continuing to want more.

We may judge that nice guy&#039;s life, but if he likes it- who are we to judge? We all get our feelings of worth from somewhere, and whereas it&#039;s great to get it all from yourself, I don&#039;t think anyone is that enlightened.

So, all of that is to say that I am definitely attracting some of the things I want, but I am probably too focused on the things I don;t want- let&#039;s face it- because THAT&#039;s what I&#039;m trying to change!</description>

		<description>Hi, this is an insteresting subjet, I can tell you that I have my husband  and a friend to have those real conversations you are talking about, I just met my friend at work about a year ago, she was the one who lend me your book &quot;Why your´re dumb, sick and broke&quot;, after that I started to open my eyes and mind, and I am trying to read must of the books you recommended. We try to have open conversations about everything, and it is working.

To find somebody to talk to without being judge is hard, and people, a lot of them they dont want to hear the truth. 

Most of the time I ended up being  hurt by their comments, like: &quot;you havent have a lot of boyfriends, so what do you know&quot;(I got married 8 years ago).  &quot;You are envy, that is the only reason you are telling me this&quot;.  &quot;You havent been in this situation, so why are you giving me advice&quot;. 

So I stoped  trying to have real conversation with people, they dont want to hear what you have to say. Now I just listen and from time to time I will say, &quot; I understand what you are saying&quot; and they are happy with that, and after, they will tell me that I am a good friend.

I started to read self development books since I was 20 years old, stopped for 15 years and restarted  a year ago, but I guess it wasnt my time to have a personal grow. Now I am ready.
I think  that people have their own time to do things, this is my time.

I am an inmigrant who live in Montreal, I went to university in Dominican Rep and when I came here I had a lot of problems trying to work as a dentist, now I know I didint make the effort . I blamed the system, I blamed the govermment, I blamed everybody else but me.

Now I am taking control of my life, or trying to, right now I am happy with what I have, but looking forward to having prosperity. I have a husband who open his own companie 3 years ago, have two kids that are wonderful, and I have a lot of goals to achive, It is hard but I always try to keep in mind what Jim Rohn said &quot; My suggestion would be to walk away from the 90%  who don´t  and join the 10% who do.&quot;   

Thanks again Randy, have a nice weekend.</description>

		<description>To be true to myself.... let&#039;s say that I have come a long way, and I still need to cruise a few miles.  What I have a lot of problem with, and I hope a few of you out there might be able to help me is this.  All my life I have been told to do this, to do that because this is what we are suppose to do.  (There are a lot of other people that are also programmed that we need to deal with).  This is what I am having problem with, the others that are still programmed, mostly my family, even my spouse.  I really enjoy what I am doing, I thank the Universe every day for every thing that comes about in my life.  I love the people I work with, etc... 
In 2002, we adopted a 3 1/2 years old girl, who is challenged with &quot;Fetal Alcoholic Syndrome&quot;.  Now talk about follow the leader.  She will mimic everything and everyone around her.  One thing that I promised myself is that I would not impose any of the programmation that I was exposed too.  
I am a very spiritual person.  I have discovered this in the past 3 years, and I have flourished since that time.  BUT, before knowing really what was spirituality, I thought that going to the church was how you get spiritual, which has nothing to do with spirituality.  Spirituality is what is within you, not within what happens in a Church.  Mind you that you can be spiritual in a Church.  
The child had started to go to Church (because of our Catholic beliefs and all the ceremonies coming to her), and I respected what she wanted.  The only problem with all that is that when asked about Church and Mass, she would answer that she was doing it for her grandma (because she was going to make grandma happy).  And asking her what are you getting out of all this? she would answer &quot;I dont know&quot;.  A year or so passed, and one Sunday morning, the child&#039;s bio mom called and asked if she could see her, so I asked the child if she wanted to go with her mom a little earlier this Sunday or go to the Church and of course the child chose the mom. 
Well..... that is when the shit hit the fan.  We were called abomination of hell because we lead the child away from Church.  The grandma made a big scene and now the child doesn&#039; t even want to hear about going to Church.  (since she was only going to Church for grandma and grandma act up, she is not interested any more).
This is my biggest problem.  The programmation.  What is ok, what is not.  How to express myself with people close to me and not being left aside because of their own beliefs.  
I lived my first 50 years with others pushing my buttons.  I am going to live my other 50 years for me, and I don&#039;t feel selfish because I done enough for others and now I have decided that I am living a different life, that&#039;s all.  I love life, I am happy, I love what I am doing, I have very good friends that share the same beliefs, I am healthy, I am spiritual, and I am getting there with the wealth, so I am on a good path, just need help with the others in my life that do not have the same beliefs as me. You see, I live in a very small community where every one has their noses in everybody else.  I know I need to move on, that is what I will do in 3 years, but I need some kind of action plan for the time being.
So, I would appreciate some comments....
