Truly, “thoughts are things,” and powerful things at that when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire for their translation into riches.

Our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.

No one is ever defeated until defeat is accepted as a reality.

No one is ready for a thing until they believe they can acquire it.  Remember, no more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty.

Through some strange and powerful principle of “mental chemistry” which she has never divulged, Nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire, “that something” which recognizes no such word as “impossible,” and accepts no such reality as failure.

We are the masters of our fate, the captain of our souls, because we have the ability to control our thoughts.

Man’s only limitation, within reason, lies in his development and use of his imagination.

When you begin with the thought impulse, desire, you are drafting into your service the same “stuff” that nature used in creating this earth and every material form in the universe.

Write down what you desire.  It is at that moment that you have given concrete form to an intangible desire.

Read aloud twice daily the written statement of your desire and see and feel yourself already in possession of what you desire.  By following these instructions you communicate the object of your desire directly to your subconscious in a spirit of absolute faith.

All thoughts which have been emotionalized (given feeling) and mixed with faith begin IMMEDIATELY to translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.

Faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmation or repeated instruction to the subconscious mind, through the principle of autosuggestion.

Persistence backed by a single desire is destined to mow down all opposition and bring the opportunity you are seeking.

One sound idea is all one needs to achieve success.

– Napoleon Hill – Think And Grow Rich

 I have attempted to share the “missing pieces” that keep most of us from living a life of true abundance – no matter how hard we try to chase success, how many products we buy, or how much information we consume.

Like many people, and maybe even you, I spent a lot of years searching for answers. Hoping that one of those answers and solutions would finally show me how to achieve lasting success, happiness, and true abundance.

And, as you can probably imagine, I spent a lot of time, money, and effort on studying and applying the various techniques, strategies, ideas, concepts, plans, and formulas that I came across.

Many of them produced some results. But, none of them were able to get me what I was really after. And, none of the results lasted for very long. So, I had to keep starting over.

The interesting thing is, during the past 10 years of my search, I felt I was already very happy, and even quite successful. More so than most people.

But something was still missing. I still wasn’t experiencing abundance. Somehow, for some reason, it just didn’t feel right or complete. So, I kept on searching.

Whatever solutions or formulas that I came across always seemed incomplete. It seemed like they were all offering bits and pieces of the puzzle. Good, useful pieces, mind you.

But, there were always a few missing pieces. (Oftentimes, more than a few.) The ideas and formulas always seemed to have some gaps, holes or inconsistencies in them. And, I almost always had at least a few unanswered questions. The picture I was being shown was never complete.

So, I kept going. I kept searching, learning, and taking action.

Finally, just a few years ago, it all came together. At last, I figured it out! All the missing pieces were revealed, the gaps and holes were filled. The big revelation happened and, for the very first time in my life, I was able to see the complete picture!

Where the answers came from is not important right now. (I may get into that later.) The important thing is that I had it, at last!

And, even before I started using all the pieces, somehow I knew that it was going to work this time. I knew that I had finally found the answer. (And yes, it did work. It has been working ever since.)

How what I am going to tell you different from everything else out there?

Simple.  I am going to reveal the missing pieces of achieving “effortless abundance”… the process that took me almost 20 years to figure out.

And, I’m sharing it with you so that you too can learn it, put it to use, and start living a life of effortless abundance, starting now.

Who This Is For… 

The information that I share am going to share can work for anyone… whether you’re religious, spiritual, atheist, agnostic, scientific, or something else.

Whatever your current beliefs may be right now, you can start to integrate these ideas into your life, starting today.

Some of the pieces can be applied immediately and produce positive results almost immediately.

Others may take a little more time – and practice – to get going. (Wait! But, didn’t I promise “effortless” abundance? Yes, I did. And I will explain the “work” or “effort” that may be required in putting this stuff into practice.)

Here a Piece, There a Piece… 

There is a lot of information/products out there on the subject of success, wealth, happiness and abundance.

Most of it is useless, as you may have already found out. But there is also some very good, useful and valuable bits and pieces floating around. (Some pieces are much bigger than others. And, a few products even have almost all of the pieces, i.e. almost all of the picture is showing.)

If you’ve spent at least 5 years searching for answers to happiness, success, and/or abundance, then some of the ideas I mention below may be familiar to you. If that happens to be the case, consider yourself more informed than the average person and keep reading. 🙂

The important thing for you to understand is, without all of the pieces, we cannot see the entire picture for what it really is. And, even a few tiny missing pieces can dramatically change our perception – and interpretation – of the final picture, as well as the kind of results you can expect

Here are some of the pieces of advice that I have learned and applied, over the years:

Do what you love, and the money and success will follow 

Find and focus on your passions, or “follow your bliss” 

Take massive action! Fail faster. Don’t ever stop paddling 

Never give up, keep fighting. Persist, persist, persist! 

Hard work is the key to success. Sheer will power and sweat. 

Use the Law of Attraction. Your thoughts can create things. 

Feel gratitude; be grateful for what you have and it will multiply. 

Realize that the world – and your life – are already filled with abundance. 

Visualize the future as you want it, and it will become real. 

Hypnotize the negative beliefs and habits out of your head 

Use NLP to re-wire your brain. Associate pleasure to money and success. 

Use mind power, psychic influence and energy to create and/or attract your ideal future. 

Use fluffy feelings, affirmations, emotional highs, hope, etc. to make it happen. 

…and other stuff that I can’t remember at the moment.

By the way, the above list only contains the pieces of advice that do work, on some level. (I won’t waste your time with all of the other junk that I spent my time, money and effort on.)
And, I’m not knocking or ridiculing any of the stuff listed above. They all have their place in helping one achieve some level of success, wealth, and even happiness.

But, as I’ve mentioned earlier, all of them (at least in my experience) give us an incomplete picture. Many of them come very close to revealing the entire picture, but still have a few, very important pieces missing.

What I have done is taken the best of the working pieces from the methods and ideas above, and figured out the gaps, holes and missing pieces that can actually get you to experience true abundance.

And so, if you do see some pieces of advice below, that you may have heard before, just bear with me, and read through the entire report anyway… so that you can figure out what the missing pieces are, to making this stuff work.

You will find, as I did, that the whole picture will be much, much greater than the sum of the parts – including the parts that are missing from most of the above methods and ideas.
You will also find that many of the proverbs, sayings and phrases you’ve heard hundreds of times before will finally begin to make sense to you, fully. You will see them in a new light, and understand them on a new, deeper level.
