Ted Williams Shows Your Circumstances Don’t Control Your Outcome!

Ted Williams knows what ‘doing it tough’ means, after a decade of drugs, alcohol, homeless and penniless.  Are you going through some crap in your life right now?

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in circumstances which overwhelm us to the point we can’t see a way out.  There seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel, no hope of a better future.  Before I share my insights watch this video, an interview on MSNBC’s Today Show with a homeless man Ted Williams, The Voice:

Some things to ponder:

Ted Williams is the epitome of what I have been sharing for years and what The Secret DVD and The Secret book are based on.  If you apply the lessons learned from the short interview with Ted Williams it will change your life forever.

1. Never look at your circumstances as being the truth, or all that is possible.
   Ted Williams was homeless, hungry, penniless, a beggar, an alcoholic, a drug addict, a ‘reject’ in society; in fact his circumstances where probably far worse than yours … yet he knew he had a great voice; he knew that if he got the right person to listen he would get a job.

   Your circumstances don’t decide your outcome, you do! Only focus on what you desire, not on the present appearance of things.  Wallace D Wattles said over and over again in his book ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ that in order to achieve any degree of success we must ‘Think the TRUTH regardless of appearances.’ If you haven’t listened to my seminar you should, it’s free!: www.SignpostsToFreedom.com

2. Be thankful to God for everything you have and all that you are.
   Sometimes we feel so low that it seems we have nothing to be grateful for!  Ted Williams is grateful for life every day, he is grateful for his voice, grateful for the food and shelter he had, grateful for his Mum and his family.  Having gratitude is only part of the equation, this homeless man gave vocal thanks to the Lord!  Something many ‘spiritual’ people miss out of the equation.

   David in the bible knew the power of praise … he said many times in Psalms (Songs) to praise God.  Ps. 66:1-3 “Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth.  Sing forth the honor and glory of His name; make His praise glorious! Say to God, How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works!”
   Ps. 67:5 “Let the people praise You, turn away from their idols and give thanks to You O God.” Ps 144-150 is just full of praise to God.  As Ted Williams said, he now acknowledges God everyday in all his ways: Success without God is failure.

3. Believe that you have a God given gift … believe God.  
   I’ll be straight down the line here … I don’t know how people get by without a real relationship with God.  I don’t mean a religious knowledge of God and sin but a ‘father/son’ relationship.  We live in a world of doubt and fear and disbelief and it leads to so much stress and anxiety.  God says ‘fear not for I am with you … I will not leave you or forsake you.’

   If you are going through some ‘Ted Williams’ type experiences I urge you to call on God, even if you don’t yet believe He exists!  Is 59:1 says it so well: “Look! Listen!  God’s arm is not amputated – he can still save you.  God’s ears are not clogged up – he can still hear you.  There is nothing wrong with God; the wrong is in you.  Your wrongheaded lives caused the split between you and God.  Your sins got between you so that he doesn’t hear.” WOW … God doesn’t move away from us, we simply ignore Him and then he cannot help us.

4. Have a 5-year Vision!
   Ted Williams knows what he wants in five years from now … to be a Program Director and to have his own apartment.  What’s your vision for your life five years from now?

   “Where there is no vision, people perish.” - Proverbs 29:18  Without a vision for our future we slip back into hopelessness and despair when faced with life’s challenges.  Make sure you have an empowering vision.  For Ted Williams to have a home is very empowering for Ted!  What will empowering and excite you for the next 5 years and beyond?

5. Take Action!

   
   

   

   Sign Ted Williams was holding

   Ted Williams may have ‘the golden voice” but nobody would know unless he took some action.  Too many people think all they have to do is mediate or pray or have faith and they will achieve their dreams … then they get disheartened and disillusioned when it doesn’t seem to work, often blaming other people for their failure.  The Law of Attraction is biblical, it’s a universal law … it works all the time whether a person believes it or not.  “Faith without action is dead!”

When you live this way you will be misunderstood by the many, you will even be laughed at, despised and even mocked by those closest to you.  Those ignorant of the Law of Attraction will try to drag you back into their world in which they call ‘Reality’, often accusing you of ‘taking on too much’, ‘daydreaming’, ‘having your head in the clouds’ or straight out ‘lying’ about your situation.  Yet, once truly understood, it is the only way to live.

I want to leave you with these couple more pearls of wisdom:

• Speak only what you want, not what you don’t want.  “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it, for death or life.” – Proverbs 18:21
• God’s decree regarding your future: “I know what I am doing.  I have it all planned out – plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.  When you come looking for me, you’ll find me.  Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” – Jeremiah 29:11-13

Get In The Right Place To Receive

I was born in Mackay, Queensland, Australia at 5:26am on December 23, 1962 … that made me 48 yesterday.  (If you’re an astrologer then that information could give you a few insights!)

Yes, December 23 was my birthday so yesterday I decided to have a ‘do nothing’ day!  Well, not really a do nothing day but a day in which I just did something different … something just for me!

I thought I would share with my friends just how I spent the day:

1. I started my birthday by sleeping in! If you know me well you will know that I normally go to bed well after midnight almost every night (yes, some nights I forget what time it is and I realize that the sun is rising and I should get some sleep!!)  I normally have between 4-6 hours sleep … yesterday I had 9!
2. After having a late breakfast together with my darling wife Lorna I sat down at the computer and read my emails and Facebook messages.  I was humbled and felt very blessed by all birthday messages from my friends around the world.
3. My wife gave me a gift voucher for a massage for my birthday so we heading out to Doncaster Shoppingtown and I went straight for my massage.  I had just completed four seminars in as many weeks and standing speaking for 8-13 hours a day takes its toll on the body.
4. Lorna went off to finish some Christmas shopping for our boys.
5. When I finished my massage I did my most favourite thing in the world … I sat down at a good coffee shop, I ordered an extra hot latte and read my favourite book. 
   I guess you are wondering what my favourite book is?
   If you know me well you will be able to guess!  It’s not Think & Grow Rich or The Science of Getting Rich or even The Secret, though they all rate highly.  The most amazing book ever printed is the Bible, and within that book my most loved book is Paul’s letter to the church in the city of Ephesus. 
   As I read Ephesians through yet again I received even more revelation.  I wondered how many people had actually read this book.  Regardless of your spiritual beliefs or convictions there is so much wisdom and truth that can be gained from this book. 
   Sometimes in our own little world when things don’t work out how we would have liked we can feel isolated, alone and lonely.  Even as I read the first few paragraphs (verses) I reflected how truly blessed I am … Did you know that God had you in mind even before He laid the foundations of the earth?   Did you know that God’s love for you surpasses any human comprehension?

As I read Ephesians I felt compelled to share my birthday with you, not to boast or puff myself up in any way, but rather to give you hope in a sometimes seemingly hopeless world.  Here is some of what I read:

“How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him.

“Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.

“Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free!

“He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.

“It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.

“It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This signet from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life.“ (Ephesians 1:3-14 The Message Bible)

Even if you don’t realise it or understand it or even believe it, the creator of the universe loves you and thinks more about you then anything else He has ever created.  You and I are so special to God that He desires to give us the very best that creation has.  Further on in Ephesians Paul wrote: “God can do anything you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!” (Eph 3:20)  WOW!  That’s huge!!!

God doesn’t care where we have been, what we have done, how messed up we are, what our beliefs are or how much we have screwed up our lives … all God wants is for mankind to accept Him as their spiritual father and accept Jesus Christ as His son and acknowledge that He has done everything there is to be done, the price is paid … God just wants to pour out His abundance and generosity to us.  We are the ones who prevent God’s goodness flowing to us.

Of course, I went to bed last night reflecting on all the gifts and blessings God has poured out to me and my family.  I couldn’t help wonder how I could help others experience the same in the fullest measure possible.

Thank you for your birthday wishes and may you have a wonderful Christmas season and an abundantly blessed 2011.

The Secret DVD and book revealed to many people the Law Of Attraction (LOA).

Rhonda Byrne, nor any of the other 25 Teachers (including Esther Hicks), discovered the Law of Attraction. It has been available to man since his creation. In fact, it is a law of creation which God put into place long before the earth existed.

Many people, of all religious beliefs and walks of life still don’t believe in LOA.

Like all other laws of the universe which God put in place, just because a person is ignorant of the law doesn’t stop the law from working to its fullest capacity at all times. You may not believe or know about the law of lift, yet it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. You may not believe in God, that doesn’t mean God doesn’t exist.

Simply put, the LOA is “What I believe and speak I create.”

So is The Secret (which was never really a secret) the greatest power on earth?  Absolutely not!

I heard Bob Proctor say in his “Born Rich” seminar once that faith was the greatest power known to man. I have to disagree with him. Yes, faith is a mighty power. If fact the bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:6). Actually without faith it is impossible to believe God exists.

Abraham (in the bible … not Esther Hick’s group of spirits) is called the father of Faith. Abraham believed whatever the God said; he acted on God’s word and Abraham was made very rich, and he was made the father of many nations, later know as race of people called the Jews.

• Jesus said to a sick woman who believed in Him and touched his clothes, “Your faith has made you whole (totally healed and complete).”
• He also said to his disciples, “All things are possible to those who believe.”
• Paul the apostle said, “We walk by faith, not by sight or appearances.”
• He also said, “For it is by free grace you are saved through your faith.”
• Jesus also said, “When you pray, pray believing that you already have it and it will be yours.”

It would seem than that faith can do just about anything!

Many people think “all I have to do is believe and I can have it.” Hang on a minute … that’s not true. Faith without action is dead, nothing, zip, zilch!

I get emails which read something like this: “I’ve watched The Secret 53 times and keep believing in the law of attraction yet nothing has changed. I’m still sick, broke and unhappy.” That is like sitting on the floor cross legged with your fingers shaped in a circle and humming, expecting the money to drop out of the ceiling!!! Now that is just plain dumb!

So faith without action will not help you get what you want let alone your dreams and goals. Faith with action is a mighty power, it will feed the hungry, heal the sick and mend the broken hearted … but it is not the most powerful force know to man!

So what is?

Read my next blog to find out the most powerful force on earth. With it you can have whatever you desire, without it you are but an empty noise!

From $16.2 million To Living On Food Stamp In 12 Months

So far I have shared about the spiritual side of money.  We will get on to some strategies for building wealth soon.

In fact, I will give you a step-by-step process of how to make money and create financial abundance regardless of your present circumstance, age, country, race, colour, situation, skill, education or ability. However, the reason I have spent time on the non-physical aspect of money is because it is the root cause of poverty and lack in people’s lives.

You cannot have abundance and prosperity while you think or focus on lack.  Even if you are given or win a large amount of money, you will dispose of it rapidly down to your own self-image of what you believe you are worth.

Some say that 96% of all lotto winners are worst off within five years than before they won the money.  I don’t know the exact statistics but I do know it is extremely high.  I have spoken to at least three people who have won over a million dollars and each one said that it made their life a mess and they wished they had never won!

Here is just one story I found on MSN.com:

Living On Food Stamps

William “Bud” Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988 but now lives on his Social Security.

“I wish it never happened. It was totally a nightmare,” says Post.

A former girlfriend successfully sued him for a share of his winnings. It wasn’t his only lawsuit. A brother was arrested for hiring a hit man to kill him, hoping to inherit a share of the winnings. Other siblings pestered him until he agreed to invest in a car business and a restaurant in Sarasota, Fla., — two ventures that brought no money back and further strained his relationship with his siblings.

Post even spent time in jail for firing a gun over the head of a bill collector. Within a year, he was $1 million in debt.

Post admitted he was both careless and foolish, trying to please his family. He eventually declared bankruptcy.

Now he lives quietly on $450 a month and food stamps.

“I’m tired, I’m over 65 years old, and I just had a serious operation for a heart aneurysm. Lotteries don’t mean (anything) to me,” says Post.

So what I am trying to get you to understand is that the acquiring and accumulation of money is not about hard work or the right job or winning lotto.  In fact, I believe that trying to acquire wealth through any form of gambling is in direct opposition to the natural laws of the universe.

Getting money and keeping it is always dependant on your mindset.

Napoleon Hill in his book “Think and Grow Rich” states that you much work yourself into a white hot burning desire for the money you want.  You must first decide the exact amount of money you desire and why you want it.

Tomorrow I will share with you the exercise which changed my life and my back account.  I’ll show you how I started to get checks in the mail instead of just bills!  I went from making less than $5,000 per year to creating over $1,000,000 in one day using the principles I’ll show you.
