A New Day
I Love The Sun
I love the sun when it appears,
since it reminds me of the appearance of matchless love
And no star is seen when she comes forth,
either from above or from below
And so, O Maya,
you have appeared in the eye of my heart,
and everything other than you has disappeared
So I see you in whatever is not you,
and I don’t see other than you whenever I see you.
~Shaykh Manna Abba “Shaykhānī” wuld Muḥammad al-Ṭulbā
Like A Bear
I am like a bear.
I hold up my hands
Waiting for the sun to rise.”

Paul Getty Strikes It Rich
“My formula for success is rise early, work late, and strike oil.”
~Paul Getty
This is really funny but actually, it’s also true.
Paul Getty makes the observation here that “working hard all day” alone isn’t going to do the trick – to get THAT wealthy, you have to “strike oil” once in a while.
That’s luck, fortune, finding something precious that other people need and want.
Conversely though, it also works the other way around.
If he just struck oil but DIDN’T work hard to maximize on what he’d found, would he have been that wealthy?
Well we know the answer to that – of course not. A fool and their money are soon parted, as they say, and most likely, you end up without wealth OR the deeds to the oil filled plot of land if you don’t do your homework.
Here’s our 60 second reflection exercise.
- What is YOUR OIL?
- How do you prospect for it, and how single minded are you in pursuing the finding of this?
- Have you found it already and you’re just in the stages of “rising early and working late”?
- And what other oil is still out there for you to find …?

Guest Quote: Calvin Coolidge
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Geniuses will not; unrewarded geniuses is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” Calvin Coolidge
Calvin is RIGHT! Talent, education and genius are nice if you have them, but SUCCESS comes from perseverance.
From going back into battle again, and again, and again, and then again.
Let’s take internet marketing. When I started with that, coming up for ten years ago, there were loads of people around then, just as there is now. Ten years on, and out of everyone I knew back then, I am the only one still standing!
I was utterly hopeless back then and still am not exactly a “born marketer”, but you just CAN’T do ANYTHING AT ALL for that long and NOT get reasonably good at it!!
So today, I want you to use our 60 seconds of thinking of something you tried at one time, didn’t succeed and gave it up for a lost cause. Something, that if you had another go and managed to get even a little bit further would seriously help you get wealthy, powerful and happy – right now.

Guest Quote: Marion Zimmer Bradley
“It has never been, and never will be, easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveller than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.”
~ Marion Zimmer Bradley
Marion Bradley is one of my personal heroes, so I was delighted to have found a quote by this lady to add to this collection.
Something that “your hero” says is far more important and more impactful than a thousand snide comments from nobodies, so …

Nothing Is Permanent
Do this every morning for 17 seconds
“Get out into the sunlight — out where everything is — with a vibration that is so dominant that those who annoy you; those who don’t agree with you; those who make your life feel uncomfortable don’t come into your experience, because your vibration — through your practice — has become so clear, so pure, so clean, so in keeping with what you want, that the world that revolves around you just feels like that. That’s what you planned.” —Abraham
“When you acknowledge what you do not want, and then ask yourself, “What is it that I do want?” you begin a gradual shift into the telling of your new story and into a much-improved point of attraction. You get the essence of what you think about – whether you want it or not – because Law of Attraction is unerringly consistent – therefore, you are never only telling the story of “how it is now.” You are also telling the future experience that you are creating right now.” —Abraham
