Don’t Teach Pigs to Sing…
- Unknown
If you take this on board you will save yourself a lot of frustration. People in general don’t want to be ‘converted’ so don’t bash your head against a brick wall.
Take the property market. There are a lot of ‘spruikers’ (usually with a vested interest) who would have you believe that real estate is a great investment (as indeed it can be if you do it right: see Robert Kiyosaki’s books on Cash Flow) come what may. It is blatantly obvious that property prices can’t always increase but you can’t argue with these people so you might as well give in.
I was just reading in Money Morning (an Australian ‘market news’ website) one chap’s response to these spruikers. He said “You’re right! Go ahead and buy before prices go up again!”
He has long since given up on teaching pigs to sing! Oink oink!
Set Your Goals High ~ Quote

Wayne Dyer ~ LOA
“What you really, really want, you’ll get. And what you really, really don’t want, you’ll also get. What you are focused on in your mind is what you attract. Like attracts itself to like. Once you know that what you think about is what expands, you have to get really careful about what you think about.”
~ Dr Wayne Dyer, Your Erroneous Zones

Quote on Adversity
” The seeds of great success are often right in front of you, hidden in the ashes of adversity”
~ Francis Ford Coppola
Many successful people have failed to begin with. It is almost a pre-requisite to success! Adversity is a learning tool. The secret is not to give up.

Power of the Mind ~Shakespeare
“There is nothing either good or bad,
but thinking makes it so.”
- William Shakespeare, “Hamlet”
Shakespeare also believed that “perception is reality.” We create our own experiences; our own experience of life, through our thoughts.
Don’t like what’s going on in your life? Change how you think about things.
Leo Babauta from the popular Zen Habits has also recently mentioned this quote from Shakespeare. Read his take on it here.

A Daily Mantra for Uncertain Times
” I am guided by Divine Intelligence
In my words, thoughts and actions;
I am guided and protected,
I am full of the joy of living.”
~Anon
Try using this mantra. It’s a good “all-rounder” and great to use to re-assure yourself in times of uncertainty. It’s not hard to remember either!
Use it often and by the power of attraction it will manifest and become true for you.

“I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
