Your feed back...greatly appreciated
I have been working on the course for about two months. Maybe three. LL 19 and 20 have taken me a month to get through...In fact I haven't finished 20 yet. Why? see #2.
Riches...I think I get this, but tell me if I don't....See #1.

1. Riches....Not Loans!
My definite purpose for this year is to get out of debt. I have embarked on this mission through one major way....My own business.

One of my main goals after I started SOGAR was to generate $20K a month income. But until now I didn't have a way.

An interesting side affect of this has been a flood of offers for credit cards, personal loans, an loans against my home. These have come to me in a volume that is really surprising, and more then usual. That is why I believe that it's an effect of my request to the universe.

I am thinking that part of the reason that I have been getting these offers is because I have asked the universe for $$ without having a product or a service that I could sell.

My goal is to generate cash which is not tied to a loan, but is "free and clear". Incidentally I now have products and services to sell. So I expect the real deal now.

I would appreciate your thoughts and ideas on this, specifically: How does one "get" ca$h and not loans from the universe?

2. Time .... I never feel like I have enough!
When I think about my LL and my Course work for this course, I'm amazed at how many days have gone by since I did the last exercise or reading.
I have been on the "one a day" plan since I started, but I have gotten side tracked by other things that either I needed or needed me.

I do have one real mystery that I want to clear up.

All my life, I can remember feeling like I didn't have enough time to get everything done.

For instance, I can remember a couple of times in grade school, and college when a college or mentor told me, "Steve, you have as much time as anyone else. We all get 24 hours a day."


This feeling, "not having enough time to get it all done", causes a significant amount of stress in my life.

Where does it come from? Well good question. It comes from all of the wonderful ideas that come into my mind when I get involved in a project. It's hard for me to finish that project because, before I'm done, I have another great idea, and then I start down that road.


This is one item I'm going to clear up. I could tell you some of the gory details, but my request from you is really, how do you handle this. Or does it even happen to you?

Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.

To our Success!!!

Stephen, it's interesting that you say your definite purpose for this year is to get out of debt.

And then you notice all these credit offers coming to you in droves -- in short more opportunities to go into DEEPER debt.

Here's what I see.

You're putting your focus on debt and you are attracting more about debt, more ways to be in debt, etc.

Remember that your subconscious/unconscious mind doesn't know about "getting out." It just sees all that focus, faith, and feeling on the subject of DEBT. So it's doing its job and bringing you more of that, more about that, and on and on.

Remember, too, that the WORDS we use to describe things to ourselves (and others) are powerful. So it might be helpful to rethink what it is you truly desire. Perhaps "financial freedom" or the like rather than "getting out of debt" would be a good start.

Many blessings, and, of course--
EXPECT Success!

BFO Thankyou Stephen and Rebecca

Sometimes I read Wally's words, but until I can see a real life example is does not become clear to me. I now understand that by focusing on the word debt (even if it is the reduction of) the universe conspires (in it's own way) to give you what you are asking for. All those opportunities for more debt being presented to you Stephen - I find this Truly amazing. I can now see that it is in the words that we use and I thank you both so much.

Stephen I am also very guilty of saying "I can't do everything, I just don't have enough time" up 'til now that is. I have to correct myself on this all the time. I tackle this by setting small tasks (take less time to complete) and then I get to feel the satisfaction of completing a task. It also releases this completed task from my mind and I find I can get on to the next task. These are not related to my ultimate goal, they are just things that play on my mind (things I need to do). EG Shed cleanup (talking about it for years). Last weekend my husband and I emptied the entire contents, sorted what stays and what goes. Bought some boxes and shelves and labelled and sorted everything. It felt great and now it is not bothering me anymore. Yay! I have completed a task, acheived one of my goals for the year. Sometimes I lapse back and think .. yes but I still haven't got enough time for ...... But I quickly jump on it and set another small task and set about completing it. I hope this has helped .. as your question has helped me.

wishing for you success

Kind regards JulieP

Rebecca and Julie Thank you very much for your posts.
Julie -- with Rebecca's and your post I have a much beeter feeling about and how to ask for it. Thank you.
Rebecca: Thanks so much for your post. I found it really enlightening. I believe that your correct. I look forward to your reply to these questions.
I think it's really important and will help a lot of us.

Here are my questions:
In your post to my LL20 post, you said,"your subconscious/unconscious mind doesn't know about "getting out."
This is really key.
Why doesn't my mind know about getting out? Is it because getting out is a verb?

When we ask for things from the universe, should it be Person,Place, or thing? Nouns?

If this is covered in another LL, you can just let me know that to.

I hope this makes sense.

For instance, if I'm asking for cash, how do I distinguish cash from my business venture from the cash I already have in my pocket???? New Cash?

OK enough questions. I look forward to hearing from you, and
thank you again for your posts.!!

In regard to the "getting out of debt" issue:

Tell me this; which of each two sentences sounds better and has a more emotional "lift" to them?

"I will not be sad" OR "I will be happy"?

"I will stop being rude" OR "I will be more considerate"?

"I will get out of debt" OR "I will be financially secure"

If you guessed the second ones, you are right. The former phrases tend to emphasize the negative.

Conclusively, I think you would be more successful if you used more positive words.

P.S. Why is it this forum lists the posts in reverse order according to date? I have to read the first post, then scroll to the bottom and read _upwards_. Or am I the only one?
