They don\u2019t just one day go away.<\/b>\u00a0 A human being most usually is required to become the catalyst to begin the solution process.\u00a0 Asking for volunteers to go to work and solve the problem seldom gets you very far along the solution path.\u00a0 <b>The process of solution most often begins when someone is commanded to take charge and solve the issue, or when there is no one available to solve an existing problem but you.\u00a0<\/b> Action must be taken before further damage is done or when you \u201chave to\u201d solve the problem or else you and maybe some others will be destroyed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">A preacher once told me something that has remained in my memory bank for many years.\u00a0 He said,<i> <\/i><b><i>\u201cYou will act, perform, or produce whenever your desperation factor exceeds your embarrassment factor.\u201d<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Most people are procrastinators.\u00a0 They wait for someone else to do that which needs to be done.\u00a0 This bad habit starts way back in a person\u2019s childhood.\u00a0 Do you remember your personal reaction when the first grade teacher asked those who knew the answer to raise their hands, be recognized, stand up and recite it to the whole class? &#8230;no hands were raised&#8230;.no one voluntarily stood up.\u00a0 That just seems to be the way most people respond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><b>Bad habits retained or left uncorrected just get worse with passing time.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><b>The opposite of that fact is also true.\u00a0 Good habits get better with time.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">The toughest problem that confronts most people today is the lack of money.\u00a0 It is nothing new.\u00a0 Money problems have been at the forefront throughout history.\u00a0 You are not the first person to encounter them. \u00a0 <b>All the solutions you can find to legally solve your money problems always involve <i>Energized Action&#8230;<\/i>You, no one else, has to act&#8230;You have to do something towards correcting your own problem.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 14px;\">Money, as well as anything else, can be attracted to you by your thoughts.\u00a0 <b>Think about anything long enough with concentrated focused thought and it will appear on your horizon.\u00a0<\/b> <b>Once that happens, your continued focused thoughts will begin to lead you to the ways and means of acquiring the object of those thoughts.<\/b>\u00a0 It is indeed a very strange thing this brain of yours and how it works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">The truth is that those people of very large financial means always have and always maintain a serious \u201cmoney consciousness.\u201d\u00a0 They all <i>Thought<\/i> wealth long and hard well before they created and\/or achieved their wealth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Napoleon Hill called this phenomenon <b><i>The Law of Harmonious Attraction.<\/i>\u00a0 <\/b>Simply stated it says<b> this law of harmonious attraction translates all human thoughts into their kindred material counterparts.\u00a0<\/b> That fact alone should be plenty enough to cause you to very carefully watch your thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">All that said, permit me to remind you that <b>the human mind attracts to one the exact material equivalent of that which one thinks about most often.<\/b>\u00a0 <b>Do you now clearly see that $ucce$$ actually (1) starts in your mind,&#8230;and&#8230;(2) begins with a thought?<\/b>\u00a0 I certainly hope so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">The problems in your life that you are facing can all be solved if you, by using your own brain, first determine your desired best case solution and then begin to focus your mental energies on completing that solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">It is always the same technique no matter what your desires.\u00a0 Here it goes:\u00a0 <b>Get the picture of what you want firmly envisioned on the screen of your mind\u2019s eye. <\/b>Continuously keep telling yourself that you <i>are <\/i>going to get it.\u00a0 Whenever you speak these positive affirmations, speak out loud so as to put your inner ear to work so as to increase your faith and belief. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Now remember, don\u2019t think it is going to come to you if you merely indulge in a period of watchful waiting.<i>\u00a0<\/i><b><i> Go To Work, always keeping your goal in mind.<\/i>\u00a0 Then start saving some of your money. say,\u00a0 10 to 20 percent of your income each month if possible. <\/b>\u00a0 If that much is not possible, then begin saving every month whatever the maximum amount that is possible.\u00a0 It needs to be something each and every month!\u00a0 Do you see why budgeting is so important?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">Let me add the most important point at this conjecture, assuming that you really want to be blessed by God and truly become successful.\u00a0 <b>The first disbursement from your income every month should be 10% of your \u201cgross personal increase\u201d in the form of a tithe to your local church&#8230;your spiritual storehouse&#8230;.the local place where you are spiritually fed.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 14px;\"><b>The next step is to invest your savings into solid proven things that are increasing in value.\u00a0<\/b> Put your savings wherever they will remain safe and secure and will appreciate in value.<b>\u00a0 Never put your savings at a great risk of loss,&#8230;no matter the potential for gain.\u00a0<\/b> Communicate with those people you know who are of great means.\u00a0 Find out from other successful people where they invest their personal wealth.\u00a0 You just have to ask.\u00a0 Have no worry, trepidation, or fear,&#8230; these people you will discover will be most cooperative and well impressed at your \u201cguts\u201d and \u201cintelligence\u201d in asking them for good sound advice. \u00a0 Put your savings where they will work advantageously for you.\u00a0 Put it into things such as safe and solid things of proven worth, precious metals like gold and silver bullion coins, low maintenance real estate or in a <i>business of your own.\u00a0 <\/i><b>Learn how to safely invest in those things that are going up, like inflation.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
