Introduction

www.LANLP.com “NLP Practitioner Training Courses ” (818) 879-2000

hank you for spending this time with me. You’re about to embark on a amazing journey, a journey of self discovery and purpose! This workbook will help guide you to transform your life toward any destination you choose: because it’s all a choice, your choice! Choose wisely with patience and gratitude. Allow me to ask you a question; What if….everything in which you encounter and experience within your life, good and bad, positive and negative, genuine and erroneous is all part of your master plan? What then? Would you look at your experience of life differently? How would you now spend your time? Would you choose to risk a little more, a little less? You see, like many of you, I’ve been there, frustrated, struggling, and uncertain. Though through it all, I’ve come to realize one thing; it’s not anyone’s fault I am where I am. It’s my responsibility. If it’s my responsibility, then I’m in control of it all, and if I’m in control, then I can change it. Because, it’s all my choice! And I choose to be successful, abundant, and happy. I am now at a place in my life where I understand the formula for prosperity and abundance. I have spent over two decades studying the structure of behavior and how people create a level of success in their lives. It’s now time to pass it on, so get ready to take action and move into the direction of your dreams. Dreams hold power, the power of purpose! When you’re on purpose, there’s nothing stopping you. It is this information I’ve spent the majority of my life gathering, applying, and now offering you here in this manual. You’ll learn what success is, why abundance flows to you at all times, how your brain operates, and how to control it with your intention and focus. You’ll learn to communicate more effectively and harness the power of NLP (Neuro-Linguistics Programming). I’ve offered you a list of wonderful books which inspired me to dream and pursue my intentions with relentless vigor. You’ll read quotes by famous and successful individuals who left their impression here on this spinning blue ball. I know you will learn many new things as you open up your awareness and suspend your beliefs about who you think you are. I ask you to try-on any new ideas and concepts which may seem foreign and unusual at first, though I assure you, if you are willing to play with a set of new rules for your life, then you’ll find many opportunities and endless possibilities to grow. Welcome to a new paradigm of thinking… welcome to a new life! Sincerely, John James Santangelo

What is Success?

What first came to mind? Yes, we all have our own interpretation of what we believe success is. Although, the mere fact that you may have an answer means you have already constructed a belief about your success. In studying behavior for over two decades, it has allowed me to know some very important beliefs about people. The single most important one is “we rarely behave contrary to our current belief system.” Our behavior is shaped from our deepest values and the beliefs about the world around us. It is these beliefs, which help shape and create that very world. When we act or behave in a way contrary to our beliefs, we produce internal conflicts, incongruent to what we believe. This is why it’s such a challenge to make changes in our lives, because we eventually revert back to our past programming, which is comfortable, and what we believe to be true. Beliefs are just deep-rooted convictions, learned and supported by our reference experiences. This is an important concept because we seldom ever act outside of the reality of our own beliefs. Reality is a relative term. What is real to us is nothing more than what we know and believe to be true. It’s just our perception of our world, better said, our interpretation of that perception. As an NLP trainer, one of the first presuppositions or assumptions we learn is to “Respect the other persons model of their world.” As a practitioner of NLP, I can neither help nor guide any individual unless I first step into and respect their reality or belief system. We cannot make the necessary desired changes in our lives unless we first align ourselves, or become congruent, with our current reality. Your beliefs about what you’re capable of achieving in your life will limit you or empower you. In order to manifest any change, you must first acknowledge the old limiting beliefs. You must become aware of the patterns or ‘strategies’ that currently hold you back before progressing forward. It’s like re-modeling a house. Have you seen the movie “Life as a House” starring Kevin Kline? His character realized he had to make massive changes in his life before he died. Like the character, in order to build a new structure or belief, you must first tear-down the old limiting structure in order to re-build a new more empowering set of walls to support you new belief. So it’s important we become aware of our past limiting beliefs, which no longer serve us. Beliefs such as; I’m not smart enough, I’m don’t have a degree, I don’t have the necessary skills, I’m too shy, I’m too fat, I’m too lazy (Which earlier in my life I thought was true), I don’t have enough money, I can’t get a satisfying job, I can’t afford it, I’m not worth it, I’m emotionally unavailable, I’m always so depressed, I’m too tall, too short, too single, too married, too divorced, too DEAD! Yes, trust me, I’ve heard some very strange beliefs about what reality is. Whatever the excuse, that’s exactly what they are, EXCUSES! Excuses of your own reality, neither right nor wrong, true or false, they are what they are, YOURS! They’re what you’ve learned, acquired, and supported through-out your life. Awareness is the first step in change, you can not change something you do not recognize! So decide here, now, with this new information you’ll make a commitment to yourself to utilize and practice these new acquired skills. Remember, we all make up our own reality, so choose to make one up in which you really desire to become a part of. Choose to manifest real abundance in your life starting from this day forward, and promise yourself to continue the journey of learning and growth, with passion! So, what is success? It’s what you create and believe it to be. Nothing more and nothing less!

Abundance Flows

In the same way that air flows easily and effortlessly to all physical beings,

unless it is artificially disrupted or prevented, abundance flows to all.

Abundance of wellness, abundance of energy, abundance of enthusiasm, abundance of joy,

abundance of all that is desired flows to you at all times, unless it is artificially disrupted or prevented.

When I am focused upon well-being

there can be no disruption or prevention. When I am focused upon joy, or love,

money or vitality, it can not be prevented.

The prevention or disruption of this dynamic, eternally offered stream of well-being,

can be prevented or artificially disrupted in only one way,

By choosing thoughts of the absence of love, well-being, or abundance, by choosing thoughts of lack.

By the powerful Law of Attraction, it is not possible

to think of abundance and disallow it at the same time.

By the powerful Law of Attraction, it is not possible to notice the lack of abundance and allow it at the same time.

Allowing abundance is really a very simple thing.

Since it flows to me at all times … all I have to do is invite it in.

Definition of NLP

A Model of Communication and Personality Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) began as a model of how we communicate to ourselves and others. It was originally developed by Richard Bandler, John Grinder and others. This model explains how we process the information that comes to us from our outside world. The belief is that "The map is not the territory." And so the internal representations that we make inside about an outside event are not necessarily the event itself. Typically, what happens is that there is an external event, we run that event through our internal processing. We make an Internal Representation (I/R) of that event. Those I/R’s of the event combines with a physiology creates a state. "State" refers to the internal emotional state of the individual i.e.; a happy state, a sad state, a motivated state, and so on. Our I/R includes our internal pictures, sounds and dialogue, and our feelings (for example, whether we feel motivated, challenged, pleased, excited, and so on). A given state is the result of the combination of an internal representation and a physiology. When we experience an event coming in through our sensory input channels it includes:

Visual including the sights we see or the way someone looks at us Auditory including sounds, words we hear and words spoken to us Kinesthetic or external feelings, including the touch of someone/something Olfactory which is smell; and Gustatory which is taste.

Neuro -The Nervous System, through which our experience is processed via five senses: * Visual * Auditory * Kinesthetic * Olfactory * Gustatory

Linguistics - Language and other non-verbal communication systems through which our neural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning:

* Pictures * Sounds * Feelings * Tastes * Smells * Words (self-talk)

Programming -The ability to discover and utilize programs we run (the communication to ourselves and others) in our neurological systems to achieve our desired outcomes.

Language Presuppositions

1. Language represents thought, which shapes our reality. 2. Language is literally accepted by the subconscious mind. 3. SCM is power without direction, which comes from our CM. 4. Thought represents how we filter and represent our world. 5. Changing language changes thinking, which changes REALITY! “You become what you think about, all day long.” Emerson

As English speaking people, we are deeply affected by our verb-oriented language. We have historically been an action-oriented culture, producing great influence wherever our participation in the world. Language shapes the way cultures perceive and interpret the world around them. For example, in the Hopi language, there is no word for now. The Hopi have a very different perception of time than most cultures and live in the moment rather than the past or future. The Tasaday tribes in the Philippines have no word for war. As a consequence, they have never been at war. There is no word for lie in certain Native American tribes therefore not telling the truth is a foreign concept. During the Great Depression, headlines favored statements to describe the country's condition as crippling. Is it coincidence that within a few years, the country experienced an epidemic of polio?


“From our emotional states, we behave. From our

behavior, the world responds to us. By the responses we

receive, our results are produced.”

More than 750,000 English language words exist, more than any other language. The German language only comes close, with approximately 350,000. The average English-speaking person uses approximately 2,000 words daily, 1/2% of what our language offers. The choice to change your language will have the largest, generative effect on your thinking and behavior than any other system of personal improvement. When you change your language, you change your thinking. When you change your thinking, you change your reality. Become aware of your language, and utilize a key tool (SCM) in programming the other 90% of our brain, becoming fully potentialized from your limitations and into the world possibilities.

The words you choose provide a window into your beliefs, values, and perspectives on the strat-egies that influence your life. Because language symbolizes thought, a word may represent many experiences. If you think of a cross or swastika, which are symbols of two very different ways of thinking about the world, different images and emotions arise. These two forms are symbols of whole cultures and ideologies. Both our internal self-talk and our conversational speaking help cre-ate your emotional states. Your spoken words evoke visual images, feelings, and associations to your life experiences. As you speak the words, millions of neuro-synaptic responses are fired off in our nervous systems, creating emotions. If we are to have control over our emotions, which mani-fest behavior, you’re required to have control over the language, which produces those emotions. Change your language, change your world!

Language Presuppositions 2

Non-conscious Language

When we communicate with attention toward intention, and align our emotions with how we speak, our subconscious becomes fully engaged to manifest our spoken word! Specificity produces emotional states. When we choose to speak in generalities and vagueness, we’re avoiding our feelings around the subject matter. We avoid being specific because we are fearful of expressing our feelings. The way we’ve learned as children, to communicate through our language, leads us to the continued success or failure of reaching our outcomes, and sustaining resourceful emotional states, therefore producing un-resourceful behavior. Unless we become aware to choose and provide the conscious choice to our words, feelings, and direction to our unconscious mind, our past programming and our language will influence and direct our subconscious mind producing the same past limitations. How do I respect my outcome when engaged within the emotional states of my story? * Shift your focus to outcome specifics language from your story. 1. Be honest with your feelings and YOURSELF. 2. Repeat “cancel/clear, delete, or in the past.” 3. State your highest intent as the last thing worded. Transformation Language 1. “My highest choice is…” Leaves our highest intention as last thing on our minds eye. 2. “I give meaning to…” Accountability for IR’s and filters, through which we view our world. 3. “I choose…” Expresses our will towards our outcomes. 4. “I can…” Expresses our identity towards our outcomes. 5. “I have…” Brings outcomes into NOW, collapses time into present moment. 6. “I am…” Expresses identity, claiming emotional state for our outcomes. 7. “I create…” Expresses identity, claiming divine right as co-creators.


“When our language is congruent

with our outcomes and emotions,

we create extraordinary

results!”

Types of non-conscious language

Deletion Change my relationship From what into what? Make more money. How much? Manifest my outcomes. Define outcomes. Have the body I dream of. What weight, size, when, how. Heal my past. Into what, state outcome. Distortion Everyone really loves me. Debra, James, and Doris love me. I always feel this way in a relationship. When I become intimate, I feel vulnerable. Everything is a mess. My desk requires organization. I can’t find a job anywhere. I’ll continue to interview for my ideal career. I swam perfectly. I continue to improve my stroke.

Generalization They have always been like that. In the past, my parents have been abusive. I have respect for them. I have respect for my parents. Someday I’ll forgive him. I forgive Debra. I absolutely believe in you. I continue to believe in you. It’ll get the results I need. My exercising will give me the results I desire. Negation Isn’t it a nice day? It is a nice day. Won’t you do it for me? Would you go shopping for me? Why don’t we ever talk? Can we make time to talk? I love you, but… I love you, and… Don’t you like liver? Do you like liver?

Disempowerment I want, I wish My choice is, I require I need I desire I can’t I will You make me I created for myself It’s a problem It’s a challenge, or opportunity Almost, kind of It is, or it isn’t I’ll try I will, or I won’t, Do, or don’t I’m not I am

Keys to achievable outcomes

1. Stated in the positive. What specifically do you choose to have, create, and manifest? 2. Specify present situation. Where are you now? (associated state) 3. Specify outcome. What will you see, hear, feel, when you have it? - As if now - Make it compelling - Insert into future (disassociated) 4. Specify evidence procedure. How will you know when you have it? 5. Is it congruently desirable? What will this outcome get for you or allow you to do? 6. Is it self-initiated and self-maintained? Is it for you? And not done for anyone else? 7. Is it appropriately contextualized? Where, when, how, and with whom do you choose to have it? 8. What resources are required? What do you have now, and what do you require to achieve your outcome? - Have you ever done this before? - Do you know anyone who has? - Can you act as if you have it now? 9. Is it ecological? - For what purpose do you choose to have it? - What will you gain or lose of you have it? ------------------------------------------------------ - What will happen if you get it? - What won’t happen if you get it? - What will happen if you don’t get it? - What won’t happen if you don’t get it? 10. What has held you back in the past, and how is it you don’t have it now?

Manifesting

“Goals, like the rudder on a ship, guide you toward your destination. Without them, you will find it to difficult to stay on course

and end up on the rocks.” Napoleon Hill.

Desire – an intensity of purpose

“Everyone has been made some particular work, and the desire for that work has been placed in every heart,”

Jelalludin Rumi

1. What is it that you truly desire out of your life? 2. What would you choose to do, if you knew you couldn’t fail? 3. What are your true talents, gifts, and characteristics?

Energy Beings


You are nothing more than 99.99% empty space! If you were to look inside of yourself at a cellular level, you would first see your skin, composing of layers of epidermal systems. Looking deeper still you would find, a finite complex molecular system of highly active molecules. Going deeper yet, inside this molecular system you would find the individual molecules themselves composed of atoms. The atoms would be divided into particles of an electron, proton, and neutron, all swirling around the core nucleus at dizzying speeds, and within these, the smallest units of matter, are sub-atomic particles. If you could look deep into this realm of the unknown, you would find nothing more than flashes of light, and bits of energy surges. At this level of existence, there is nothing more than 99.99% of space between the gaps of the sub-atomic level, in which you are just that, gaps of energy swirling around with an intelligent purpose. This system of energy is in perfect balance or in harmony with a vibrational frequency, an ebb and flow of sorts. A flow of energy, with a rhythm, which vibrates at a specific frequency. Every object within this universe has this vibrating rhythm, a very specific frequency. When we align ourselves with this rhythm, or frequency, we are on purpose and in balance with our true selves.

Negative intent creates negative energy patterns and vibrations, and attracts to it frequency patterns which are similar to the same vibrational wave lengths. Thus, just the opposite occurs when we are mindful of our thought and sending out positive, loving, healing intent, we attract back to us the same vibrational frequencies patterns we send out, positive, loving, and healing energy. Thought is a vibration in the universal life force energy field. Our energy bodies are constantly sending out vibrational patterns, which are affecting every other body of energy in the universe, attracting back to us what we send out. Thus we become co-creators of our own reality. We are, every moment of our existence, co-creating or projecting this energy out into the universe. So, manifesting becomes the ability to continually project and focus our intent, or energy, upon a desired outcome. Remembering, the universe doesn’t care what we place our focus upon. It delivers the same like energy in return. It is through our intent that we energize and activate our DNA energy, inherent in all living things, to release the flow of universal life force to create and expand our awareness of our divine purpose.

“We create within this field all that we then experience, including

the field itself. We are all individual aspects of the field,

experiencing ourselves as we co-create within

it, all experience.” “Energy Dynamics”

Mark Greenia

So what is this energy I’ve been talking about? Energy, relative by today’s standards, would be defined as, “a force or an ability to do work, or an inherent intelligence.” The most important aspect to understand about energy is that it is the basis for our existence and interactions with all things, including ourselves. We are all part of this unified field of energy. We’re all part of this same energy field and we all share in its intelligence. What we need to truly fathom as hu-man beings, is that this intelligence responds with purpose, to our intent. Intention is the drive or motivation behind this universal life force of energy. So, the saying becomes true, “So ye think, so shall ye become.” It is our intention behind this universal energy that gives us power, power to do work, our purpose here on this planet.

Outcome

“Ask and thou shall receive,” seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you.” Matt 7:7

How many times have you heard this phrase? I’ll bet thousands, and how many times have you properly asked? Yes, there is a proper way to ask. Many individuals like yourself, are searching for meaning in life, while others make the assumption their life was laid out like a one-lane highway and this is the only road to drive upon. Let me assure you, it’s the only road they’re aware of because they haven’t mapped out a destination. Real success becomes the destination you plot out for your life. You’d never think of building a home without proper blue prints, or planning a vacation without reservations. And many couples plan more for their wedding than they do for their entire marriage. What a shame! I have personally coached individuals from all walks of life to help guide them in their quest of that fulfillment. The biggest challenge most have in designing an extraordinary life is they don’t understand they have the power to control it at all times. They don’t understand when things don’t go their way, they’re actually asking for it in one form of how the universe provides. Most don’t understand, in order to manifest abundance and prosperity, you must know exactly what it is you desire in order to create it. This is how the universe works. You ask, it provides, that simple! Unfortunately, most never ask, or worse yet, ask for what they don’t want instead, and the universe provides for that also… “ I don’t want to be sick.” “I don’t want to be unhappy.” “ I don’t want to be in this stinking job.” “ I’m tired of being poor.” “I wanna make enough money to pay my lousy bills.” “I hate my body.” I don’t wanna be in this unhealthy relationship.” The challenge is that most don’t know what it is they do want. And “If your goals are not being fulfilled, you’re fulfilling someone else’s.” Think about it. How long have you dreamed of somewhere other than the path you’re on now? The answer to lead a life of fulfillment and purpose, is to decide now what direction you’d like to map out for your life? You see, your brain only does one thing 24 hours a day… it moves you in the direction of your dominant thoughts. So, what do you focus upon daily? Regret, shame, guilt, blame, lack of abundance? If this is your daily focus, guess what, it’s what the universe will provide for you. It doesn’t have discretionary ability, it moves you in the direction of what you focus upon . Emerson said, “you become what you think about, all day long.” So, choose carefully! But how do I choose you ask, and ask properly? Well, there is a simple formula. You ask in the three P’s. Personal, Present tense, Positive. That’s it, easy isn’t it? Not really. If it were, everyone would already have all they desire. The key is to maintain your focus upon what it is you desire moment to moment! Even when things seem to not be going your way, remain focused! This is the key. We’ll expand on this formula in greater detail later. For now, just imagine if anything were possible, what would you really like to be, do, or have in your life? This simple act of manifesting is the foundation for all success, abundance, and prosperity.

Outcome (2)

In order to manifest anything in life, you first must know exactly what it is. This section will help you do just that; to define exactly what you desire. In Fung Shei, there are nine energy quadrants arranged in a square, three on top of three on top of three, called the ‘Bagua’. Starting from top left and moving around clockwise the nine areas are Prosperity, Fame/Reputation, Love/Relationships, Creativity, Helpful People/Travel, Career, Skills/Knowledge, Family, and Health in the middle. Step one - Choose from one of the nine quadrants above to focus upon. Imagine if all things are possible, what would you decide to have in your life right now? Then, open up your creative mind, do not judge, do not hold back, nor invite doubt into the process, dream / pretend as if it already exists in your life. In the space provided, describe clearly what this is for you. _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ This becomes one of the biggest challenges for most people. We tend to know very clearly, what it is we don’t want, but few know, beyond any doubt, what it is they truly do desire from their life. So, take a moment and decide now to search your past for the things which truly make you happy, provide meaning, and fulfill a purpose in your life. This may take an hour, a week, or lifetime. Your possibilities are only limited by your creativity. Dream big, very big! Step two - Now that you clearly know what it is that you want, define it even more. What would let you know that you have it? What does it look like? Sound like? Feel like? How would you act if you already had it in your possession? Write it out as if it already exists in your life. What would you have to experience in order for you to know you have it in your life now? When you are clear about what you want, you could explain it to someone and there would be no doubt they believe you.

Action

“Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind… What we sow is also what we reap.” Deepak Chopra

Action is the primary vehicle to which all your dreams, goals, and desires are manifested. Nothing in the universe has been created unless it was first initiated by a thought. One major law of physics, law meaning "rule of action", is cause and effect. Every thought, word and deed is a cause set in motion, which sets off a wave of energy throughout the universe. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Every cause, whether individual or collectively, results in an effect, from the microcosm to the macrocosm. For anything to be created or occur in the physical world, something must cause an event to take place. There’s a very specific relationship with this law, it is the law of motion. In order for an object or event to move from it’s existing location or reality, something must exert enough pressure, and come in direct contact with that object for it to be modified or changed. So how does this apply in your life? In order for you to manifest anything in your life, you must exert some kind of pressure and make contact with your goal to create movement and produce a result. Action, in of itself, is a neutral characteristic. It is not concerned with what or who exerts the pressure. Action is the characteristic of movement, not direction. Action coupled with direction creates a desired result. One without the other becomes a useless tool. Clarity is power. But without action, it’s just potential power. The simple act of movement or energy is the determining factor in the success of your goals. The factor in determining the results you receive will be when you decide to take action. It is a cause set in motion and energy placed behind your goal. One major condition which stops most people in deciding to take action is FEAR! Fear stops more people from reaching their dreams than any other factor. The fear of rejection, fear of ridicule, fear of failure, even the fear of success. Yes, success! What happens if I succeed, then what? What will I have to give up in order to have this goal? Have you heard this before; “Be careful what you wish for.” It is the fear of the unknown which truly scares people into complacency. We’d rather do nothing than take action to move in the direction of achieving our dreams. Sounds self-defeating doesn’t it? General Patton once said, “Fear kills more people than death, death kills us but once and we don’t even know it. Fear kills us over and over again, suddenly at times, brutally at others.” Because there is a direct consequence for every causal relationship, deciding not to take action is also an action set in motion. The consequence of in-action can be more detrimental than the effect of the action taken. Your ability to risk is directly proportionate to the risk you face at every moment. Risk = Results! The connective relationship between risk and results is action. It is the bridge which connects the two concepts together. It’s not that we don’t know what to do, it’s that we’re in fear of taking risks to define what it is that we do want or desire. Taking action IS the only way to succeed in ANY area of your life! What are you willing to risk right now to change your life and move in a new direction? The choice is yours!


18

Action (2)

Now that you know what it is that you want, write it again below: _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ What would have to happen in order for you to manifest this into your life? What ten action steps can you take to begin the manifestation process? Write out ten small steps which will begin to move you to produce results. Every small steps counts towards your ultimate success. Neil Armstrong said as he took his first step on the moon, “that’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” It all starts with a single action. You deserve to succeed, and it’s your right to abundance and prosperity. Decide now and take action. At the beginning of the week, write out your action steps, and include the steps you haven’t finished from your previous week.

1. _______________________________________________________ 2. _______________________________________________________ 3. _______________________________________________________ 4. _______________________________________________________ 5. _______________________________________________________ 6. _______________________________________________________ 7. _______________________________________________________ 8. _______________________________________________________ 9. _______________________________________________________ 10. ______________________________________________________

If you truly would like to see your goal happen ten times faster, write out one hundred action steps, designed to move you at lightening speed and propel you into your outcome.

Awareness

“Awareness alone can create immense transformations.” John James Santangelo What IS working? This one question encapsulates the entire concept of awareness. What do you focus upon? What is working or what isn’t working? When you know your outcome and have taken action… is it working? In the area of your life you decide to focus upon, are you aware of it working or not? What results have you produced? Many individuals focus on the failure of the process. When you consistently focus on what is going wrong, what didn’t work, or what failed, you’ll produce more of those results. Let’s look at it from another perspective, and view failure as just another result. It’s just one answer to the same question. A question which has many answers. One answer, one result. In the bigger picture, all you have done is produced a result, just not the one you intended. Once you know what it is you desire, all the opportunities will begin to appear, and it’s just a matter of becoming aware of them. For example; if you’ve ever bought a car and been out driving around, have you noticed how many other people are driving the same car? Did they all go out and buy the same car on the same day? No! It’s because you just opened up your awareness to that particular object of desire. Again, once you know what it is you want, the universe will provide for you all the opportunities to help you manifest it. Neurologically, we are taking in two million bits of information per second into our brains through our five senses. Our brain then distills it down to just seven bits of information, plus or minus two. Imagine all the information that is lost, and all the opportunities we miss because we can only process such a small amount at one time. Because we are also governed by the pain/pleasure principle, our body’s primary intention is to avoid pain, rather than to achieve pleasure. So we tend to look for pain avoiding strategies first. We’ve been conditioned over the course of our lives to become aware of what doesn’t work and avoid the pain of having to deal with the disappointment of failure. We tend to give up after a couple of attempts. Once you have a clear vision or purpose in mind, your brain goes to work to gather all the available information it requires to manifest that goal. Because there’s so much information being made available to you all at once, (the solution as well as the challenges), all you need to do is become aware of the information presented to you. Most people focus upon the challenges in their lives, so guess what… what you focus upon becomes your reality. When you focus upon what’s not working for you, you produce more of what’s not working. Very few people view failure as feedback to their goal or purpose. After all, it’s just information. It’s just one result. Once you turn your focus upon what IS working, you’ll become aware of all the information you need to fulfill your goal. Awareness is a choice. Even the finest information is useless without a purpose. Know your outcome, take massive action, and notice what is working. Your greatest intuitive asset will be to “Know thy self” your inside and outside world.

Flexibility

“Insanity; Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.” Einstein Once you know your outcome, have taken action, and become aware of your results, did you produce the results you intended? If so, congratulations! If not, now what? Many people get stuck at this point, usually trying a couple times at most and then giving up. (Do you know what the definition of trying is? - Excusing failure in advance.) This is where your flexibility comes into play. In order to achieve your desired outcome you must be flexible in your approach. Most likely your desired results will take a couple of attempts. Statistically, you probably won’t succeed the first time, harsh but real. Given this, how many times will you continue in the face of adversity until you succeed? This is determination! But if you continue producing the same undesired results, along with the same approach, it won’t matter how many times you try, you won’t achieve your intended results, because nothing has changed. As I said in the last chapter on awareness, you’re going to produce a result. In order for you to produce your intended result, you must change your approach and do something different. This one concept will lead you towards success. Undoubtedly you’ve experienced this a number of times, maybe within a relationship? You keep running into the same conflict over and over again, only to make the assumption that this must be the way the relationship is. No, it’s not! You just haven’t found a way it will workout yet. Begin to open up and develop your awareness of the results you produce and become flexible, change your approach. Become aware of your old limiting beliefs and boundaries. Know they are just old programs which were formed at a very young age. 85% of your beliefs and programs have been formed at the age of eight years old. The other 15% are learned by the time we’re 21. Some are structured to keep you safe while others keep you from living your dreams. Beliefs you picked up from your parents, friends, and teachers, beliefs which weren’t yours. They no longer hold any validity in your life unless you hold on to and support them. Buying into these old beliefs holds them in place, and you’ll usually find evidence to support these limiting beliefs. Recognizing these patterns can be a challenge in of itself, because 90% of what you do is unconscious. As you begin to become aware of them, you’ll be able to distinguish between the ones that are working for you and the ones that aren’t. And when you can make the distinction between the two, you’ll gain power over those patterns and notice more often what IS working. To become aware is the start of your flexibility. Being flexible is simply being aware of what’s not working, and then doing something different, anything. Achieving great success comes to those who can be continually flexible in their approach. Believe you can achieve success, abundance, and prosperity. Know it’s all possible and keep on doing what does work until you find the way, the path to your success. The vehicle will present itself when you’re clear about your intention. Take massive action, be open to all possibilities, and change your approach and you’ll soon find yourself relishing in that sweet feeling of success. God bless!

Self-Sabotage

Self-sabotage is the number one reason, within each individual,

which keeps us from achieving true Abundance? 1. Why do we all sabotage our own success; to avoid pain, and gain pleasure! 2. UN-conscious level, massing abundance leads to more pain than pleasure. 3. What do you associate to Abundance? 4. You must change what you associate to Abundance? 5. Having Abundance is the fear of the unknown. 6. You MUST develop an Abundance mindset and condition yourself for success, and change your beliefs and emotions.

So how do you move beyond LACK and create new empowering beliefs? 1. You must free yourself from the illusion that you are not already abundant, and KNOW you are already Abundant in your life. 2. You MUST change your old limiting beliefs, which are just a FEELING of

certainty, Meaning = having Abundance is more painful than not having it. 3. You must associate more PAIN to NOT having Abundance and replace it with an alternative that is more pleasurable.


22

Belief change

Step #1 - Write down ALL the pain you presenting experience, because you DON’T have the level of Abundance that you truly deserve. 1. What is it costing you in your life NOT to have money, health, or abundance? 2. What are you missing out on, losing out on in your life? 3. What are some of the things you would do, be, share, create, give to others, or make because you don’t have it?

1. You need to experience a TREMENDOUS amount of PAIN to NOT having it ! 2. Make it compelling. 3. Get leverage on yourself. 4. What do you want to do that you can’t do now? 5. Have you ever say “Someday” 6. How could you be better, if you had all the health, abundance etc. you deserve? 7. How does it make you feel that you can’t help your family, friends, community? 8. What are some of the prices you pay everyday because you don’t have this now? 9. What do you really want but have to settle for second best! 10. Do you live in an environment, which doesn’t support your values? 11. Do you ever feel that you’ll never have all that you truly deserve? Make sure you really FEEL the PAIN, Change is linking more PAIN than pleasure! Remember, we do more to avoid PAIN than to gain pleasure! You have three minutes. Go ! Really feel the PAIN deep down! Step #2 – Write down anything you associate to the word money, food, abundance. 1. Quickly write single words or short phrases, one minute, Go! 2. Repeat the word Abundance in your head over and over again while you think 3. Is what you wrote positive or negative? Does it make you feel good? Step #3 - Write anything you heard growing up about money, food, or abundance. 1. Do you notice any conflicts or contradictions? 2. This is where you’ll find an Approach/ Avoidance syndrome. Approach/Avoidance is choice that must be made to pursue a single goal which has both positive and negative aspects


23

Belief change (2)

Step #4 – Write down benefits, all the things you’d get in your life, all the ways your life would be absolutely, totally enhanced if you had true financial Abundance, ultimate health, spiritual enlightenment, healthy relationships, where if none of these were no longer and issue in your life, EVER AGAIN! Imagine you have all these experiences in your life right now! 1. How would your life be greater, and better immediately if you had all you desire? 2. Associate into these feelings as real as possible, see them, hear it, feel it! 3. Really KNOW what these emotions are and how they feel to you. You have three minutes, GO! Step #5 – Write down for each limiting belief, an alternative to counter-act them! From step #3, Re-frame the meaning of the limiting beliefs, and install empowering new ones. A. “Too expensive.” B. “That’s right, it was too expensive, but now it’s an investment in myself and future.” A. “I can’t afford it.” B. “I can’t afford NOT to expand my abundance and share it with my family.” A. “Money is the root of all evil.” B. “In the wrong hands, money IS the root of all evil, but I’m a responsible and compassionate person.” A. “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” B. “No it doesn’t, but it grows from taking action on a daily basis towards creating abundance in my life right now.” A. “I’ve had no time to enjoy my money.” B. “That’s right, I’ve had no time to enjoy my abundance in the past, but I’m learning to delegate responsibility and working smarter everyday.” Step #6 – What are some NEW empowering beliefs you’d like to have instead? What can you add to your already great beliefs to ensure Abundance in your life? Create and design a set of new beliefs for each of the beliefs from above.

Manifesting Rules

With a 8 x 11 .99¢ spiral notebook, follow these simple instructions to the letter!

• Title / Description of your vision top of page. • Hand-write / Cursive only, DO NOT print. • Number each line. • Skip a line, allowing room for growth. • One line equals one description. • Write them out using the 3P’s

• Personal; “ I am, I have, I’m doing.” • Present tense; now, as if already have it, own it, I became it. • Positive; no negatives, (don’t, can’t, shouldn’t…)

• Focus only on what you DO desire. • Focus on the abundance already in your life! • Visualize it with feeling, step into picture, and get excited. • Write as if it’s already here, KNOW! • Life has temporary set backs, deal with them and move on. • Have fun, enjoy your life as you create it. • NO journaling on the computer. • Never cross anything out, there are no mistakes in the universe. • Until it’s written down it’s just a vague dream. • Writing it down makes it REAL to the unconscious mind. • Writing is a behavior; therefore you are taking action towards it. • Behavior is a commitment with a purpose. • As you write, remember it’s God highest intention not yours. • You cannot ask for someone else’s good, it is “YOUR will be done.” • NEVER ask directly for money. It’s not money you really want. • Before you write each line, contemplate your ideas.

• Love/accept yourself, just as you are, “I like myself.” Say it everyday! "Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and

he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply does not understand." ~Robert Allen

Reciprocity

There is a universal law of divine reciprocity. You give; God gives in return. When you plant a seed, the ground yields a harvest. That is a reciprocal relationship. The ground can only give to you as you give to the ground. You put money in the bank, and the bank returns interest. That is reciprocity. When we give, we create a vacuum, which attracts even more than what you have given away. Stephen Covey, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” uses the phrase emotional bank account to describe the principle of reciprocity and the corresponding credit-withdrawal process in relationships. Using the metaphor of a financial bank account, the emotional bank account describes the trust that accumulates in a relationship. Like the financial bank account, you must make deposits before you can make withdrawals.

The issue of giving vs. tithing has been greatly confused by some who misunderstand the nature of the Old Testament tithes. Tithes were not primarily gifts to God, but taxes for funding the national budget in Israel. Because Israel was a theocracy, the Levitical priests acted as the civil government making the Levite's tithe (Leviticus 27:30-33) a precursor to today's income tax. All giving apart from that required to run the government, was purely voluntary (Exodus 25:2). Each person gave whatever was in his heart to give; no percentage or amount was specified. New Testament believers are never commanded to tithe. Matthew 22:15-22 and Romans 13:1-7 tell us about the only required giving in the church age, which is the paying of taxes to the government. Interestingly enough, we in America presently pay between 20 and 30 percent of our income to the government--a figure very similar to the requirement under the theocracy of Israel.

Giving or tithing will be one of the important lessons you’ll choose to learn. When you learn to let go of the ‘things’ you think you own, they no longer own you. Begin to give back for all you do have, and you’ll start creating that vacuum to attract massive abundance in your life right now! How can you desire ‘more’ in your life if you do not make more room for it to grow? There is unlimited abundance in the world to go around, and yet some actually believe there is only so much money to be had. By tithing or giving back, you ensure your prosperity in God’s eyes, as well as everyone around you. All the relationships you create will be a direct reflection of this idea of giving back. Even the relationship you have with yourself! You deserve all this world has to offer, so recycle your abundance. What kind of seeds are you sowing?


“Whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye

also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye

shall also reap good for your reward”

(Gal. 6:7).

The guideline for our giving to God and His work is found in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7: "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver." This verse makes it clear that the more generously we “sow” with the right attitude, the more abundantly we will reap. Two kinds of giving are taught consistently throughout Scripture: giving to the government (always compulsory), and giving to God (always voluntary).

26

Gratitude

It has been said that most people focus on the ten percent they don’t have rather than the ninety percent they do have! Funny how that is. I believe in many cultures the same holds true no matter how opulent or how poor it may be. You may know many individuals like this. Rarely are they thankful for anything that happens in their lives, and consequently they are always complaining that life never gives them a break. These are the same individuals who blame everyone and everything for their “bad luck”. Why? The human mind and nervous system consistently focus on progress, a forward direction, moving towards what you place in front of it. So, when you are focused on the LACK in your life (what is missing), then the subconscious mind moves in that direction, verses when you focus your attention on all your abundance (all you do have), it produces more of that. It is said, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Again, what do you focus upon daily? Gratitude is giving thanks to all that is.


“It recognizes that nothing is be taken for grated, and that most importantly, it is an

expression of complete, unconditional love in

the form of a thank you to the God force that is

in all things.” Manifesting Your destiny

– Dr. Wayne Dyer

When your heart and soul are filled with gratitude, you cannot possibly focus on what is missing. Saying thank you for all that you have, is the ultimate expression of love you can exhibit to God for all that is. Nothing could be a greater expression of gratitude than to thank the universe for all it has provided to you for all that you ask of it. An ‘attitude of gratitude’ is a channel wide open for any and all that is good to come your way. It opens the door to success, good health, and abundance. By keeping the channel open, you clear the path for abundance to consistently flow to you at all times. Consequently, when the channel is closed, it seems nothing good comes your way. Isn’t that true? When we are in thank-less mode, nothing happens, no good-luck! As most call it, good fortune! The truth is, there is no such thing as good luck. There is just opportunity and possibility.

You make you own luck. There is an old saying that is, “there’s no such thing as luck, just opportunity meeting preparedness.” When you are in thank-full mode, then the floodgates open wide and all things are possible. It is what it is. It’s the law of the universe, you ask, it provides, you send thanks, it multiplies ten fold your abundance. Of course you don’t have to believe me. It’s not my philosophy, this IS how life operates. You’ve seen it happen all around you and maybe chose to look the other way. But when you are present in the moment, and aware that the universe does provide for you, saying thank you is the way to bless all that was, all that is, and all that will be! Don’t take my word for it, TRY IT! As an experiment, do it for 30 days, everyday say thank you for everything you can possibly imagine, EVERYTHING! Allow your attention to be placed upon all things which come your way, even the negative, say thank you for them. Bless the bad as well as the good. After all, lessons come in all forms. By choosing to only acknowledge the good, you miss out on the most valuable lessons of all. So keep your attention upon all things, and be grateful in the mist of conflict, turmoil, and grief. This is your life. Be thankful for ALL of it, it’s all yours! Good and bad. Get in a daily habit of expressing gratitude for all things, and watch how your life expands and grows beyond your expectations.

27

Detachment


Have you ever tried to force a thought, like trying to remember a name, only to find that when you let go and trust in the process, it just shows up. This is because when you re-focus your attention to other than your outcome, you allow room for it to materialize. Detachment is the process of letting go of your outcome or to relinquish your attachment to it. Not being attached to whether or not you obtain it. Not caring if it shows up or not. Yes, this may seem like a strange concept especially after we have placed so much emphasize on KNOWing and becoming clear of your outcomes. The universe provides and has a very specific plan in mind for you. When you try to force it, it will not show up, or worst yet, it shows up in a form other than what you really want. The challenge is we really do not control our ultimate outcome, it’s Gods will. To try and force your outcome is a form of ego. The ego wants, and wants it now. Holding on to the thought that you know better is just another form of your ego speaking. Your ego speaks of what is lacking and what is missing, and desires to fulfill those needs right now! Attachment is based upon your fear and insecurities. When you are attached to ‘things’ in your life, you subdue your ability to create from that infinite field.

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you thought you would die if you didn’t get it? I have! It was the first house I was putting offers on. I prayed to God a couple times a day that he deliver this house to me, and “make all my dreams come true.” Though, as the story goes, he had other plans. I finally surrendered and let go, then the house across the street showed up as a possibility. Bigger, better, and more beautiful, which I eventually purchased for the same price and gained a lot more value and equity. When I allowed my attention to focus on what the best opportunity was for me and being content with what ever showed up, it did, and better! I wasn’t supposed to have that first house. It wasn’t the best outcome for me, but I could not see that at the time. I had to learn to let go and let God. Surrender into the field of all possibilities.

“and our willingness to step into the

unknown, the field of all possibilities, we

surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance

of the universe.” “Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”

Dr. Deepak Chopra

When you learn to let go, trust, detach, and be patient, then and only then the universe will provide for you. Infinite patience is a sign of trust. Infinite patience produces immediate results! A favorite quote of mine is, “Patience - waiting with expectancy.” Think about the dichotomy in this statement. How can you wait if you are expecting? Expectation comes from wanting and if you want then you are attached. When you let go and trust, you are aligning yourself with God and the universe. Because God’s universe is abundant in all that you desire and could possibly imagine, anything you place your Intention and Attention upon, will come into fruition when you let go and surrender to the process. When you’re attached to your outcome, that is, when you make it the only possibility, you shut out all other opportunities, some of which may be bigger, better, and more beautiful. We normally call this is ‘good luck,’ but good luck is nothing more than preparedness meeting opportunity. Learn to let go of your attachment to the things in your life. Set your intentions/outcomes and be free of any concerns whether it shows up or not. When you can do this, you’ll find that all you do desire will begin to manifest into your life and just show up from what will seem like the ‘unknown.’ Which is the field of all possibilities!

28

Asking The Right Question

“Asking the right question is half the answer.” Aristotle, (384-322 BC)

I believe what he meant is in the very nature of your ability to properly formulate a question, inherently lays the wisdom to manifest the solution and find an answer to any challenge. Formulating more empowering questions will allow the answers to come quickly and easily, which will be the key to unlock the door to all possibilities.

1. What if a miracle happened tomorrow morning and you awoke to realize all your fears which use to hold you back in your relationships and your career were completely gone, how would you live your life differently from this day forward? 2. What am I afraid of, and how does it hold me back? 3. If I can change one thing about myself what would it be? 4. Have I forgiven the people who have wronged me most? Why not? 5. What are the top three things I value most in my life? 6. What true success have I accomplished which I am most proud of? 7. Do I risk enough in my life to challenge myself everyday? 8. What three things would my friends say about me? 9. How can I be more connected to GOD? 10. If I could snap my fingers and instantly change careers, what would I love to do? 11. Your life is your movie script, how would you write it to play out until The End? 12. What are my best traits and characteristics, and who did they come from? 13. When *&%#! HAPPENS, do you react from it or do you respond to it? 14. If you weren’t living this life, what wasn’t the problems you didn’t have then? 15. What was the one thing I learned most about myself from all my relationships? 16. If I hired a life coach, what three areas would I focus right now? 17. What pleasure seeking patterns can I choose rather than pain avoiding ones? 18. How do I motivate myself to take massive action? 19. What is my definition of success and how can I use it to empower and motivate myself? 20. Do I allow abundance and prosperity to flow into my life? 21. How can I start living the life I’ve only imagined? 22. How do I express my love for someone? 23. What would your eulogy say about you if YOU were to write it? 24. How would I introduce myself to God? 25. Today is the LAST day of the rest of your life… now what?


29

Life’s Little Lesson

You will receive a body. You may like it or you may hate it. But it will be yours for the entire time period this time around. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full time informal school called LIFE. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or you think them irrelevant and stupid. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error-experimentation. Failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that work. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not continue lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. THERE is no better than HERE. When your THERE has become HERE, you will simply obtain another THERE, That will again look better than HERE. Others are merely mirrors of you. You can not love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you, something you love or hate about yourself. What you create for your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What YOU do with them is up to YOU. The choice is YOURS. Your answers live inside of YOU. The answers to life’s questions live inside of YOU. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO LOOK, LISTEN AND TRUST. YOU WILL FORGET ALL OF THIS ….. AND YOU WILL REMEMBER.

Dr. Cherie Carter-Scott

Wheel of Life

www.JohnSantangelo.com “Maximum Success Seminars” (818) 879-2000

The wheel of life represents balance in your life and enables you to take inventory of your current life status. Starting with the center of the wheel as zero and the outer edge as ten, rank your level of satisfaction with each area by drawing a straight or curved line to create a new outer edge. (example to right) The new perimeter represents your new wheel of life. Life is a journey, but how is the ride? Smooth or bumpy? Improper balance of the wheel begins with improper decisions. Great decisions are made when we gather proper information and be courageous in our actions to move in the direction of our dreams. Use this as an assessment to take your next step toward manifesting abundance. Our Success Coaching can help you balance your life. We’ll design a goal-setting campaign together and set a course of action to achieve it.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care" . You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become deeply involved with you. 51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because o f the excitement your radiate. 41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out. 31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken. 21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature. UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

What is Feng Shui? Or pronounced ‘Fung Shway’ literally means wind and water, two of five natural elements of our planet. It’s relates to the manipulation / direction of Ch’i energy or the positive flow of energy through-out our indoor, outdoor, and spiritual environment. The Chinese who created Feng Shui over three thousand years ago used this flow of energy, a balance of Yin/Yang, by directing the Chi energy of their surroundings, to enhance the ‘Good Luck’ in their lives. Each quadrant, using five natural elements, is also associated with a color and a specific area of life. We use this ‘Bagua” chart below to geographically map over our surrounding living environment. By manipulating, aligning, and balancing your living space with this chart, you create a more positive and harmonious flow of energy through-out your life! Yin is earth energy, (feminine, passive energy). Yang is heaven energy, (masculine, dynamic energy). The Yin/Yang is a round, continuous, complementary, symbol needed to balance both forms of energies to create wholeness. Neither one is good without the other. This same theory applies to a well-balanced room or living space, to help you feel grounded or centered all through-out your home or office. As I spoke in some of the previous chapters, we are all made up of the same universal elements of Feng Shui. When we align our bodies and environment with this elementary energy, we produce a superior energy flow within our lives. This is what the saying; ‘going with the flow’ means. If you desire to enhance your Chi energy, please contact a Feng Shui consultant as I have in my home and my business. Good Luck!
