You Were Born Rich - To Learn About Receiving

Did you realize you were born rich? Looking back, do you usually find yourself always hurrying toward your next goal? Working hard, do you find yourself exhausted from all the energy you use to get to your goals? In the end, you wind up getting little in return compared to the extraordinary efforts you put forth.

Bust your butt at school and got a mediocre job with little future. Save and save and save as much money as you possibly can to for a down payment and end up in a small house in a boring location. You spend hours in front of the mirror grooming, hours on the treadmill running and a lot of cash at the beauty salon to end up with a guy, who is great on the inside, but has gotten to the point where is grooming/workout routine consists of a 3 minute shower and shaving every 4 days.

Is this the life that was promised you? The culture we live in has you under a lot of pressure. If you work hard, the only person that is going to get ahead is the guy that owns the company you work at. This ideal of hard work paying off for the ordinary guy is promoted in Pursuit of Happyness. Will Smith's character sacrifices the safety of his family in pursuit of the big payoff. The pace of the movie is frantic and the audience is left with a stomach ulcer, despite the tragic hero getting the dream job in the end.

Slowing down and listening is what I have learned. By listening to the vibrations of the universe, I can slow down and not overspend myself. I have even managed to slow down my family around me. Since we know we have time to do our projects well, we wake up for the day happy, rested and eager. Most of our projects are completely self serving. Imagine doing what you want to do, when you want to do it. My time is spent more effectively. My family is hardly sick and well fed. The commitments we have are minimal.

This all revolves around the law of receiving. Bob Proctor, a huge self help author, likens this frantic way of life to a boy running up to a police officer and saying, "Where is the post office? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?" The boy never gives the man a chance to answer. When you race from one project to another or even from one job to another, you're not allowing people to help you. Especially, you not allowing them to help get where you need to go. Bob Proctor's 11 Forgotten Laws is a place to start learning the skill to slow down.
