> logical question that I ask is, " What would it take to

> achieve that? "

>

>

> After a long pause, I usually get an answer like " " Five

> that, short of winning the lottery, they will never achieve

> whatever I want whenever I want. "

>

>

> " OK, " I say, " What do you want to have and do and what

> will it cost?

>

>

> Answers to this question vary from " I want to have lots of

> money to give away, " to " I want a big house with tennis

> courts and a pool. " And then there's the old standby, " I

> want to travel. "

>

>

> Nice goals. But really far from their current reality for

> most, which means they will have to spend years not feeling

> financially free.

>

>

> So here's the big secret: to experiencing financial freedom

> right now. Financial freedom is as much a feeling as a

> financial condition. I know people who make under $50,000 a

> year who are perfectly happy financially. They watch their

> spending and save up for the things they really want. And,

> most importantly, they are satisfied with their lives and

> feel good about themselves.

>

>

> Then there are others I know who have millions of dollars

> and worry a lot, especially with the stock market

> fluctuating the way it is. They worry about losing what they

> have, and if worry is their habit, they'll find lots of

> other things to worry about. .

>

>

> When I was homeless and wandering around, never knowing

> where my next dollar would come from, I was really free. I

> had no bills to pay, no one had any control over anything I

> was doing, and there was nothing I had to do from day to

> day. I also had nothing to lose. Because I was on a strong

> spiritual path, I felt protected and safe.

>

>

> Am I free now that I have a house and car and obligations? I

> have two businesses that need attention every day and I

> can't always control what happens each day. Since I'm

> starting a new business, I have to carefully manage the cash

> flow and there are times when I have to pull in the

> financial reins and be really careful with my spending. So

> am I financially free?

>

>

> For me the answer is yes. I don't feel trapped, I am doing

> what I love, and I have the freedom to make choices. Do I

> need a million dollars to feel this? No. Because freedom is

> a feeling not a financial condition.

>

>

> When you are seriously in debt and not earning enough to

> cover your expenses feelings of being trapped creep in. So

> financial freedom paradoxically requires discipline--keeping

> track of your cash flow, dealing with your debt, spending

> less than you earn, and putting something aside in a " life

> happens " fund, so unexpected expenses don't knock you

> over.

>

>

> And you always have the option of finding ways to earn more.

> That is within your power.

>

>

> So how do you experience financial freedom?

>

>

> I think there are two important areas that need developing.

> The first requires gradually increasing your financial

> might be. Secondly, developing an understanding of your

> financial identity and why you occupy your current financial

> position, so you can change it.

>

> In my book Build Your Money Muscles, I provide you with

Hi ,

What helped me most in the area of financial wealth are the books of

Ponder and Randolph Price. Joan Sotkin just smoothed

out the rough edges -- gave the finishing touches - so to speak.

I also like the Abraham teachings. They help me remain happy. Abraham

is great for keeping me upbeat and focused on what I desire.

Louise Hay, I used mainly for emotional and physical healing.

I also love Ernest Holmes. I think that his works helped me understand

my Divine nature.

Actually, I love all the New Thought books that I've read so far.

In light and love,

,

The books you mentioned are all great books. We are so lucky to have a vast volume of knowledge readily accessible for when ever we need them.

Ponder is one author I'm not familiar with. I'll look up her books on Amazon.com.

Hope you are having a wonderful day....

Ponder is one you might be able to buy at a local Unity Church bookstore if there is a Unity Church near you. She was a Unity minister. Actually, she may still be alive, but I don't know if she is still an active minister. I have a number of her books. They are special and worth the money and effort to acquire them. Deborah

Yes, Napoleon Hill is also great. If I remember now, I read " Think

and Grow Rich " in college. I was especially impressed by the section

on integrity. That was the lesson I got from that book.
