Sex, Drugs and Prosperity

Last week we discussed the issue of having a congruent prosperity philosophy.  Judging by the comments, many of you have realized you lacked a philosophy or the one you had was incongruent with manifesting health, happiness and other forms of prosperity.

The Effect of Sacrificing to Others

We talked in the last post about making happiness your purpose in life, and whether that was right or not.  When it is discussed rationally, most people agree to the sense of taking responsibility for your own happiness.

Making Happiness Your Purpose

Great discussion going on last week’s posts about the importance of a congruent philosophy to live by.  Now let’s take it the next step: your purpose.

Answering the Controversy!

So in yesterday’s post I said I believe all private businesses should be able to discriminate for whoever they want to serve.  If they want, they should be able to put a sign in the window that says, “No Germans.”  Or, “We Don’t Serve Indians.”  Or “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Blue Eyes, No Service!”  This raised quite a spirited debate!  And I don’t say that just to shock you.  I am quite serious…

The Philosophy for Manifesting Prosperity

We talked in yesterday’s post about the logical extension of your beliefs.  And whether they would form a congruent philosophy if you weave them together and extend them to their logical conclusion.  This is more important to your happiness and prosperity than you may know…

Knowing Your Purpose

A funny thing happens when I teach the principles mentioned in the last post on the virtue and morality of selfishness.  Most everyone who reads them says, “You know instinctively I always knew that was true.  But I was afraid to discuss it because of the reaction I would have received.  But it really makes sense in the big picture.  I can only help those I care about if I help myself first.”

Does God Want You to be Poor?

Last post I told you about the experience of my Mastermind Council member and his wife when I came up with a $30 million-dollar idea for them.  I told them that they still had an issue accepting prosperity, based on their inability to think how their life would be different if they earned that kind of money.  And because everything they came up with was helping someone else, not themselves.

The Reason for Reason

In the last post we talked about the importance of having a purpose, and I said I think that this needs to be centered around your own happiness.

The next important fundamental value is running your life by reason.  Which means that you analyze things with the criteria of whether it serves your highest moral purpose – which would be the perpetuation of your happiness.
