When the markets opened this morning, I observed that the stocks that I had studied and planned to buy, opened very much higher than their closing prices. Since I could not do much with the stocks, I thought I would just trade the futures which were much more volatile.
Just as I was thinking so, my fellow trader cum friend looked at me and told me to forget what was on my mind; as if he could read my mind! I asked him what he meant, and he laughed saying that the futures screen was malfunctioning and the prices were delayed for half an hour.
I asked him how he knew what was on my mind, and he said that it was the same thought he had when he came in the morning. Although madly frustrated, we both still had our laugh. Not being able to do much, I sat on my chair feeling a little down to have missed a great chance of making huge profits in the volatile market.
Then it struck me, “What Is Nature Trying To Tell Me?” I am in a situation where virtually there was nothing I can do with regards to trading even though the opportunities were phenomenal. What was it that I was missing?
Nature, through its marvelous laws, guides individuals towards achieving the goals they set for themselves, and eventually to fulfilling the very reason they are here on this planet.
Unfortunately, our inability to understand its infinite wisdom causes us to go through the various emotions ranging from negative, that is disappointment, frustration, anger etc, and to a certain extent overly positive emotions.
As I was thinking of the above, I left the office and headed home. My fellow traders tried the best to convince me to stay and trade, even though they themselves were not sure what to do! However, I made up my mind to listen to Nature, and figure out what it was telling me by shutting the doors of trading momentarily on me. On the way home, it struck me!
Recently, my good friend and long time participant of my training program Steven Fu, launched my first e-book (together with a recording of one of my seminars and also an audio-book of the same) to be marketed internationally.
This way, I would be able to reach out to more people and it would cost far less for anyone to acquire the book. My intention here is to share with people the practical workings of Nature’s Laws on a day-to-day aspect, rather than just concentrating on the philosophical aspect.
However, my home country, Malaysia, is not in the third party merchant’s list of countries allowed to buy the e-book from. Please don’t ask me why, but these are the rules set by the payment gateway services we are using. Thus, my participants and non-participants who seriously want to purchase the product do not have an opportunity to do so! I never gave it much thought until now.
Just as I was thinking of this intensely, Madam Gomathi of Mutiara Power Packed Training Programs, called me. Her company markets and organizes training programs and seminars that I conduct in Malaysia. She also handles the marketing of my books in the country. She said that we should come up with the same e-book concept for Malaysia!
So, she started to search for a local payment gateway that will be able to accommodate my local market. Some were simply too expensive and the others did not have additional services that we needed.
Finally, after securing one, she got together with our web page designers and started working on it. We are now looking into the legal aspects of doing the internet based sales, locally. I will keep you guys updated on it.
Although I was very busy with the above project, I was frequently updated by my futures broker and fellow traders on the condition of the financial markets. It turned out that the market movements were so volatile that most traders encountered more losses than gains.
I am not really a brilliant trader, just average. My personal opinion after looking at the recent charts, the chances are I would have lost more if I had been in the game in the last few days!
I am just glad that I listened to NATURE…..

Begin Your Day On The Right Foot
I cannot stress enough the importance of starting your day on the right thought. Why? Because that very first thought would determine how the rest of your day is going to be.
Imagine waking up with a thought like "oh no…I don't have money to pay for the bills", or "my boss is going to pick on me again today"....what you are doing is sending out negative thought vibrations that in turn, attracts the same; The Law Of Vibration And Attraction is at work here, and you can be sure the negative vibrations will come storming back at you like clock work.
On the other hand, if you choose to begin your first thoughts of the day with positive and healthy once you can be sure to be filled with the same.
Now from the above example, instead of saying "oh no…I don't have money to pay for the bills", or "my boss is going to pick on me again today", you can say "how can I pay the bills, what can I do" and "I am going to have a jolly time today at work and everybody is happy and healthy".
Do it with a positive feeling as if you are actually going through that.
It's best to begin the day with a thought of gratitude, it could be something simple, for example, I always begin my day by saying; "Thank you nature for giving me another day to experience life, thank you for all the blessing you have given me and for all the blessings I am now receiving".
And by beginning the day, I mean the first thing when you open your eyes.
Most importantly express your gratitude with true feelings, not mumbling the words just for the sake of saying them, no…no...it doesn't work like that. You must feel it at every atom of your body until you get 'Goosebumps' all over. I often get tears well my eyes when I do it. Tears of joy or tears of gratitude you may say.
End your day by also expressing gratitude, gratitude to those who had shared their experiences with you that day, whether it's a good experience or bad one. Thank every one of them, because you are the cause of every effect you are getting or have gotten (The Law Of Cause And Effect) and ask yourself what have you learnt from them.
Try it, practice it and over time you'll see changes in your life, I guarantee it. What have you got to lose?
To Your Success.

Why Most People Fail To Change Their Bad Habbit Patterns
There are certain types of education system in the world that emphasize more on reading and gathering knowledge. Children are taught to remember facts and figures, but sadly not creative thinking. This type of education serves to develop only the memory and that is all; when the time comes to use the knowledge gained for some useful purpose, many would be lost. Sometimes the knowledge itself can be a hindrance for the student to progress further!
For example, if the student is told that “Nothing travels faster than light!”, he would just accept it blindly. He would not even entertain the idea that, “If it is true than how are we going to explore and reach the other side of this universe that spans billions of light years?”. Now, a creative mind would go further into such thoughts, and continually challenges itself to learn more and continue to improve.
However, when this idea is suggested to the “memory” type of student, he would just call it absurd and ridicule the student who asked the question. Although the “memory” student may be right at that moment, but he has unwittingly stunted himself from exploring further. This is where knowledge becomes a hindrance for a person in improving himself, and the world in general.
Creative ideas do not arise from the physical or emotional or even the intellectual body, but it comes from the spiritual body which is the source of infinite ideas!
Slowly, a child’s intellectual body, emotional body and physical body are programmed with all sorts of stuff as the child grows up. Good stuff, bad stuff, fuzzy stuff, and so on. The child who is a grown up now views the world with a totally different perception than it actually is. When a child is born, it is like a white florescent light. But, as time goes on, it is wrapped in different colored plastic wrappers.
Eventually when it is covered with many of these colored wrappers, the light won’t shine forth anymore. It would now be enveloped in darkness also known as ignorance. This is where the person losses touch with his spirit. Thus, the will power diminish, the person becomes directionless and starts flowing with the rest of the crowd.
People refuse to change for the better because they are SIMPLY IGNORANT of the fact that they are connected to this awesome and infinite power called the spiritual body! They are simply not aware! They may have read about it or have been told of it, but they have no inkling at all of what it is because most people have corrupted physical, emotional and intellectual bodies that cloud the spiritual body.
In the physical body, they subject it to abuse; for example no proper diet, excessive drinking (alcohol), smoking and so on. In the emotional body, feelings like sadness, sorrow, disappointment, jealousy, anger, will conquer it. In the intellectual body, the false assumption of already possessing all the knowledge will be there, and the thought of knowing better than everybody else further cloud the spiritual body.
If a person have been living his habit patterns for 20, 30 or 40 years; to expect a motivation training program to turn them around in a day or two is almost impossible. Why I say “almost” impossible is because I have seen a few people who changed immediately and the changes lasted. However, MOST would go back to their old ways in a very short time!
There is better and higher success with my training programs because my programs are long term basis (a one year program); it is called motivation and awareness based program.
Here, I get to meet the participants regularly to induce ideas about the mind, manage the thoughts, setting goals, and so on in small doses, hoping that one of the ideas would cause them to fire up, get connected to this spiritual body and eventually make the change. In this way, I have seen many participants change for better; however, there are those few hardcore that I too find it difficult to reach out to.

Your World Is A Mirror Image Of Yourself
My thoughts is on the discussion I had yesterday with a very close friend; I have known him for more than eleven years now. He is an awesome salesperson who specializes in promoting training programs and seminars. It is one thing to sell products that you can see but to sell products that you cannot see, for example seminars, is a totally different thing.
I have utter respect for who he is; he is exceptionally good at his work. Lately, I have not really had the opportunity for casual chats with him.
So when we finally did, he took me by surprise saying that he wanted to switch to selling encyclopedia. Please understand, I do not have anything against encyclopedia salespersons or the encyclopedia itself, but I was taken aback by his sudden change in choice.
He explained, that of late, he had not been doing well in sales and recounted the situation he was in with frustration. He was not happy; he felt that he was mistreated by those around him who are his friends and colleagues. He lamented that he was being sidelined and not given the proper respect, sounding like there was a world conspiracy against him.
And he found it difficult to manage the situation especially when he had to bump into these people every day, hence, he decided to switch jobs. I listened intently and waited for him to finish.
Now, the friends and colleagues he was talking about are also my friends. The truth is that deep in their hearts, I know they love him very much. I was also aware that they tried including him in their activities together, but I noticed that he could not really flow along with the group. Most of the time, I observed that it was he who chose not to get involved in the group activities.
When I expressed my observation to him, he retorted back asking why almost every new person he met and introduced to the group would finally "click" with the group members but stayed away from him.
I shook my head and said that it could not be that everyone was wrong and he was the only who is right. He was upset when I said that. I continued and quoted,the famous motivator, Robert Proctor, which goes like this, "Well, it looks like you have to send the wholeworld to the psychiatrist in order for you to get better!".
He cooled down and started listening to me. I said that the whole world was a mirror image of him. The world within is the world without. You carry your world wherever you go. Applying the powerful Nature's Law, the Law of Choosing, you choose your own thoughts that become your words and actions. This in return sets into motion the powerful Law of Vibration and Attraction that would attract the RESULTS that youdesire.
Then, these thoughts will be reinforced by The Law Of Sowing And Reaping which will ensure more ofthe similar thought seeds (effect) to be produced by You! Following this, the first law which is Law of Energy Returns Back to Source, would ensure that the whole process repeats itself infinitely.
I then, continued saying that it was for the best if he took a look at his own thoughts, words and actions, and correct them rather than seeking faults in others! I wished him the best in his new undertaking, if he decided to go ahead with it.
However, I did tell him to make sure that he corrected himself fast, or else he would encounter the similar situation, sooner than he thought, at his new workplace or wherever he went! Later, we had a quiet supper.
As I headed home, I hoped my friend would make the right decision to put his life back on track.
