A Greater Understanding to Your Inner Power
It is Monday morning and it is the only time I sit down and have Coffee. But I don’t drink coffee, I have Coffee with Kevin Hogan. He’s my mentor. In this week’s e-zine he writes, “The question that came in this week was a difficult one and it wasn’t the first time someone would ask.... “Kevin? Can you really believe and achieve? I do the ‘believe’ part but it doesn’t seem to work. I read about the idea that you’ll get something when you believe it...or that you believe that you already have it. ‘You’ll See it When You Believe It.’ Instead I experience the opposite and I feel like I do have to see it to believe it. How come?”
Michael (not his real name) was obviously feeling badly, judging from his request for help. And over the years a lot of people have asked this question.
The answer to Michael’s question is...not so easy to give because there are two answers that are based on two very different philosophies that SOUND very similar. The philosophy that Michael was referring to was that of some current writers in the “new age” movement. Those writers took some powerful philosophies from geniuses like Napoleon Hill and changed them to make them sound more appealing, more magical, more mystical, and far more likely to carry a person down the wrong path. Tragically so-- sometimes.”
Man did I just about do back flips out of my computer chair. I wanted to yell and say YES! Kevin, this one has an easy answer!!! And EVERYONE CAN and SHOULD know it! It is all about tapping into our own personal power. It is all about being a Bruce Banner and breaking out the Big Green Guy inside! But you know what? Even though it is easy to explain it is not all that easy to do. There are a lot of things that keep us from being green, (and in more ways than one!) Unfortunately only about 20 percent of the population ever figures it out and the other 80 percent of us just spends money on tons of stuff that helps with our confusion.
I am like Michael (not his real name) and I have spent countless hours reading through materials from everyone including Napoleon Hill and have spent thousands of dollars helping other people get rich only to be frustrated myself. In 1986 I was working at Success Motivation Institute in Texas when I had an inspiration that led me to begin a course of study. The pattern that I was inspired with excited me way back then just as it does now. I began to write about it only to stop it about half way through realizing that I didn’t know much about it. I spent many more years in learning and getting nowhere just making a living and getting my family by.
My inspiration, COnCEPT Q, was finally born on August 8, 2000 after about 15 years of conception. But guess what? The father of this brainchild still wasn’t completely ready to be a dad to such an idea. There were more things to figure out and learn through the school of hard knocks. There were lessons yet to be learned. There was no accidental millionaire here! In fact, I could probably easily be grouped with the 80% of the strugglers. I had plenty of knowledge but no ability to apply it. Even at that, one thing that has been made certain, that it’s wisdom is still as good today as it was 20 years ago and will not be out-dated, no not even in the days to come.
We are more in an age that everyone wants to become rich at such a high speed than ever and it ought to outlawed (or at least put a speed limit on it.) A wise man once said, “When men act upon (correct) principles, they are sure of obtaining all their hearts’ desire, sooner or later; if it does not come today, it may come tomorrow; if it does not come in this time, it will in the next.” And so what if it takes 10 years to become a millionaire? And so what if it takes 20? As long as we correct our actions in the process and refine our course and forge ahead persistently, we will come to that promised land of abundance. In so doing, we will be far wiser and more capable of retaining that which we generate along the way as well. Michael, don’t despair, seek to understand your power within and continue your course ahead, constant and persistent and in due time all good things shall come to pass. Oh, by the way Michael, it was wise of you to seek someone that could mentor you through the rough spots, it has made a lot of difference for me.
