This is the start of the 2 Percenters Club!
Let's all be in the 2% of people:
Explanation:
I was listening to a lady give a training this morning and she reiterated that 98% of the people who make new year's resolutions have dropped them within a month of making them. It reinforced for me that I want to be in the 2% that carry through with what they decided that they want to do.

SHE was talking about NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS.
I AM TALKING ABOUT CREATING C M I and
IMPRESSING IT ON THE FORMLESS, thereby achieving
and receiving what it is that we want, desire,
promise ourselves that we will be, do, or have.

I encourage you to be a 2 Percenter:

Here is how I have personalized the
summary of SOGR. I is helping me to say
this each day to keep me on track!

My Affirmation of the Science of Getting Rich

I know that ALL things are made from formless thinking substance, and which permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
My thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by my thought.

I form things in my thought, and impress my thought upon formless substance, causing the thing I think about to be created.

I have passed from the competitive to the creative mind and am in harmony
with formless intelligence. I am in full harmony with the formless substance
because I am grateful. Gratitude unifies my mind with the intelligence of substance, so that my thoughts are received by the formless. I remain upon the creative plane only by uniting myself with the formless intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.

I have formed a clear and definite mental picture of the things I want, and hold this picture in my thoughts with the fixed determination to get what I want, and with the unwavering FAITH that I DO GET WHAT I WANT, closing my mind against all that may tend to shake my determination, dim my vision, or quench my faith.
I spend my leisure hours in contemplating my vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to me.

I frequently contemplate my mental image, and have an unwavering faith and devout gratitude.

So that I may receive what I want when it comes, I must act NOW upon the people and things in my present environment.

I do - with faith and purpose -- all that can be done each day, doing each separate thing in a successful manner. I give to every person a use value in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more life, and I hold the advancing thought so that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom I come into contact.

I practice these affirmations each day and I will certainly get rich, and the riches I receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of my vision, the fixity of my purpose, the steadiness of my faith, and the depth of my gratitude.

Great topic,
thanks Grammie,
I am IN the 2% Club!


Profesor Richard Wiseman (University of Hertfordshire, UK), did an important research on a representative sample of 3,000 people regarding achieving their resolutions for this year.

Less than 12% people had success, so he studied what worked well, coming up with some basic rules:

1. Set-up one resolution only and strongly focus on it (to lose weight or to quit smoking, etc.)

2. Don't wait til New Year's Eve, set up your resolution right now.

3. Don't simply repeat the same last years unsuccessful resolutions. At least approach the resolution in a new way or set up a totally new resolution.

4. Be very exact and accurate, clearly think what do you want, where, when, in all details.

5. Be personal and define what you really want in your life (for example, to learn to play a new instrument, to write a book, whatever makes you very happy).

Hi Grammie,

Count me in! I am in that 2%!

Part of my CMI is to increase that 2%! For the rest of my life I am a student and a teacher, my subjects are Peace, Health and Prosperity!

Would you like to help me to increase that 2%?

I know that Rebecca and Alexandra of SOBW are working toward increasing that 2%!

Yes, I'll subscribe to that 2%!
Cheers m'dears

Thank you Grammie for a very appropriate post! In the past I have never bought into the New Years resolutions and/or giving something up for Lent (my Roman Catholic upbringing). I always felt that if I didn't keep them, I would suffer some sort of dyer consequence (again another inherent fear that my old fashioned, religious upbringing taught me). For this year, having been a SOGR student for a bit now, I am very excited to make a resolution to myself. One that I am positive that I will not only keep but live on a daily basis. I no longer feel like it is going to be a chore or a challenge. There will be no win lose - only a positive outcome for me and my loved ones to appreciate and enjoy! Lke Wally teaches us to utlilize our mind, body and soul's, I want to resolve any/all internal conflicts and bring forth peace, calm and serenity at home.

Your post helped me think about how I want my 2008 to be. If it were not for your writing, I may have glossed over another chance to make a difference!

My family will thank you one day! Many blessings for the New Year and all of the prosperous years to come!!

I enjoy your posts Grammie and will be adding the 2 percenter statement to my 2008 goals, along with "This or something better"
Happy New Year

I want to join this club too. It sounds like it will keep my focus strong

Hello Grammie. Please add me to the list - the 2% who will carry through with what they decided they want to do.

For me this will be continuing to do what I do on a daily basis with passion and enthusiasm. Also:

- continuing to study and contemplate SOGR and the PG lessons
- live gratitude
- do all that I can do every day
- provide everyone I encounter with more in use value
- creatively do inspired, efficient, effective action - this of course is once I have a clear picture of a hearts desire.

I would love to be part of the 2%ers Club.
Thank you

Count me in as well please. What a great idea. I love 2% milk. Just kidding. Let's all reach our goals for this year.

Hi Grammie,

Please count me into the 2 percenters club - my intention is to be very successful in terms of my goals for 2008!!!

I am a second-timer on the Practical Geniuses course. I got about half way through early last year, and unfortunately got side-tracked. Here I am, back again, in much the same financial situation as I was then, but feeling much more optimistic!!

2 percenters sounds like a great idea, and I too would love the percentage to be much higher. Here's to unmitigated success for us all!!!

I'll bite!

Count me in too, please.

Hi Grammie

...please count me in, I'm going to be a 2%er all the way

Thank you for this great idea

This 2%er's club sounds like one I WANT to be a part of, good for you for sharing this.

Thanks Grammie. What wonderful thoughts. Count me in! It gets better every day!

Wonderful idea!
Please count me in the 2% Club.

Grammie... uh, my name isn't Mike.

Mike Dooley is the person who came up with that phrase "thoughts become things, choose the good ones." I'm simply making sure credit goes where it's due. Maybe I should put his name on the same line of the quote!
