INTERNATIONAL PHILOSOPHY: Small Things That Anyone Can Do That Bring Big Results

You are already doing it

You don’t have to learn how to materialize thoughts because you are already projecting and materializing your thoughts. You only need to do just a little bit better than you were doing and not expect immediate results.  

Continue to reduce your number of negative thoughts, and to increase the positive thoughts that you already have. What gives you a positive energy or vibe? Simple small things can do it. For me, cartons of fresh orange juice and grapefruit juice help because when I was 18 and beginning to make a lot of money I bought all kinds of fruit juices in the supermarket. I can still distinctly remember thinking that “Now that I can buy fresh juices not from concentrate, I know that I am successful and a person that makes LOTS of money.” 

You may have small household items that you can look at and appreciate. It can be a bag of potato chips, a stuffed animal, a picture on a wall of a vacation you took, your child, some special fabric or rug. These kinds of items will expand into more events and things with the same kind of energy or bringing similar satisfactions when they are regularly focused on. They are especially good if you are bored or feel stuck or depressed. 

Your money and the things you own are not your security; how you feel about them is. To keep your wealth, you have to keep the idea and feelings of wealth alive. Keep generating the kinds of thoughts and emotions you had that created the things you appreciate the most now. If you just got your first apartment and express joy for being able to buy extension cords and light bulbs it creates an energy that leads to the purchase of better items, like a new TV, fancy light or coffee table. If you then focus on those to create higher success energy you will then move to the next level, getting a new laptop, electric bike or car, maybe a raise or new, more successful friend. If you do the same thing and focus on those advances, maybe it will seem like nothing is happening, but then one day all of the sudden you get a big chunk of money or somehow the way is paved for you to move on up to a high-rise apartment or to a house on the other side of the tracks. Then you move into your oceanfront palace in Mexico or drive your brand new Porche to the bank to make a $500,000.00 deposit. 

It all began with feeling appreciation for extension cords and light bulbs. Now you are a millionaire! 

Focus on the positive and you will create more of it. Focus on your successes and you will create more successes. Focus on what you want, and you will create more of what you want. 

Do so with emotion ― intense emotion! 

The power of positive thinking

The power of positive thinking is real. There is nothing more powerful than your own beliefs, thoughts and emotions. Your inner world of thoughts and emotions creates your physical reality. For this reason, there is a much easier way to be successful than what we have been taught. 

You must get in touch with and believe in that power to feel and see it working in your life. You will benefit by basing your actions on your belief in yourself and the goodness of the universe. That’s what International Philosophy and my hundreds of free articles teach, as do my many books. 

You are good and so is the universe. 

Organize your reality according to the belief that you are good and the universe is kind. These beliefs must win over the opposite beliefs we sometimes get from authority figures and mainstream education.  

If you are struggling or feeling stress because you are trying hard to achieve goals, you may need to relax and let the universe work for you effortlessly. 

Remind yourself that the universe will create unforeseen positive events when you are trusting 

If you are forcing things to happen and are focused on your actions and work alone, take a minute to relax. Let go of the strain and anxiety and clear your mind for a minute. Then remind yourself that the universe wants to help you and will do so automatically when you relax and contemplate the connections within you and of the power of your thoughts. Simply by thinking positively and trusting yourself and the universe, you can immediately move all forces in your direction for whatever it is you want or are trying to achieve. 

You have internal telepathic cords that connect you to supporting energy, ideas, people and probable events that will automatically work in your favor if you allow them to do so. 

Why does Albert Einstein say this?

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe. The most important question a person can ask is, Is the Universe a friendly place?” ― Albert Einstein. 

Willing the best and focusing on it

If you continue every morning, you will change your whole life. But if you don’t do the “work,”  nothing will happen. 

Act on what you want to create

If you do not act on your ideals in small practical ways, and if you distrust yourself, you will project that discontent out onto the world. With little or no tolerance, you will attack those you blame because all you will see is duplicity. This is one of the main reasons why the world is divided and why people fail in life. 

But if you think the universe is friendly and you act on your ideals in what may be small and ordinary steps initially, you are likely to succeed and live a good life. You will serve as an example to others, and in general, everything will work in your life. 

Trust yourself and your good nature

You are beautiful and the universe is kind. Do not let anyone ever say otherwise. If you believe and affirm this, everything in your life will work. My free daily affirmations can help you to believe in yourself. Use that resource whenever you need to get your thinking back on track and as positive and constructive as possible. 

How do you do that? 

You know how. 

How do you get on top?

Everyone has their own preferred ways of manifesting. What do you know that you do not realize you know? What information are you hiding from yourself? There are thoughts, ideas and memories just below the surface of your conscious thinking. These are ideas of wealth and pictures of you as being successful. You need to look within for the subjective resources you need, the ideas, feelings and great expectations you may have had at one point in your life and take hold of these self-images and embrace them. Make them yours again. 

How do you do that? There is a way. You know you have to muster the will, resolve or determination, perhaps, but you do know how to do it. How willing are you to do it?  

You have to keep deciding in favor of what you want for however long it take you to get where you want to go. 

Base your life on your strength, playfulness, your ability to create your dream and to be that amazing and successful person you want to be. 

Thoughts have intent & a blueprint to fulfill that intent within them

Your thoughts become physical by means of an algorithm that exists within consciousness itself. Like seeds, a thought contains instructions within it resembling DNA. When your sequence of thoughts has created the proper mix of desire, emotion and expectation, and when conditions allow, a collection of thoughts will transform into a specific physical event or object by following the DNA-like instructions and the blueprint within them. 

Conditions must permit manifestation. Other people can affect events and if you are manifesting a shared event, their beliefs must also permit manifestation. Not all thoughts manifest. They must be believable and feel believable. Time is required. Your purposes and the direction of your life are involved. 

Thoughts continue to exist

I will paraphrase the creation process by which thoughts evolve into events so that you know this is a literal truth and not a fancy. A thought you have about being a success continues to exist because energy cannot be destroyed. Your success thought falls down through the subconscious to a level where it interacts in a highly active area, combining with similar thoughts of success dreams and ambitions you had that desire manifestation and memories of times you wanted success or achieved success. 

A single thought or emotion, even faith or confidence felt briefly can act like a leavening agent, like yeast is used to make dough rise, to trigger the activation of probabilities in such a way as to make all your dreams possible. You jump track into a probable sequence that leads to success. Now you are on track to success, but to stay on track long enough for the process to work you must maintain the positive stance and attitude that got you onto that track. 

Your thoughts evolve on inner levels according to similar energies or are diminished when contrary beliefs, thoughts and emotions that are held subconsciously or consciously come in contact with them. This means that doubts or negative attitudes can kill a dream. On the other hand, if you have sufficient positive energy reserves from thinking positive and appreciation and gratitude, this energy can be amplified to the point of manifestation. 

As you think more on a subject, the energy of your thoughts spurs a growth process. If this line of thought continues uninterrupted it can lead to opportunities or synchronistic events that offer a path to full-blown success. When certain requirements are met and conditions are right, these probable events are propelled up onto the surface of the earth as physical events and specific objects, activated by a decision or act on your part that moves you into the new line of probability. 

The subconscious is often moved by symbolic gestures. Mark your successes with mementoes or whatever sticks in your mind as a reminder that you have achieved something or a new level of success. I mark every advance I make in my journal as a “DEMONSTRATION.” Anything positive can be a demonstration of thoughts manifesting, such as a new pair of sneakers or shoes. These little achievements are also demonstrations of your power and ability. They should be focused on, always. 

Emotional intensity & positive overall expectation

The more intensity a belief has, the more quickly it will materialize the result desired, and the more likely it will endure and maintain consistent physical form. Intensity is a factor of emotional conviction.  

The more intense the thought, the closer it is to the range that forms matter. Emotional intensity is the factor necessary to propel non-material energy into material form. It may be emotional excitement and passion, or it may be more subtle, like an inner knowing. As a child you had to learn how to walk, for example, but now do so because of the subtle but powerful belief that when you intend to reach the other side of the room your body propels you there. 

Overall positive expectations are your most valuable asset. These are emotional attitudes that say you can be what you want in life and that the best life is the most likely life. These are best represented in the early years of life when teens moving away from home believe that they can create the kind of life they want. This belief will carry them to that destination as long as they hold it and do not let doubts or conflicting ideas make inroads into their inner conviction that their dream is theirs in very certain terms. 

Stay inspired but not inspired but not desperate 

Inspiration works to attract and manifest what you want but desperation pushes what you want away. Stay inspired by your goals and mentally say thank you for everything you have. 

A rainmaker is someone that has the magic ability to make things happen. Rain dances by Indians did often work to create rain for crops to grow. You do have the ability to create favorable circumstances. The forces of nature are with you and not against you. They will bring you success if you believe that they will.
