The safe way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket. ~Frank Hubbard
There is so much talk about a collapsing economy, so much power given to this thought throughout the world right now, I can only assume it is inevitable
“You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality.”
People are even gambling on this collapse, hoping for price increases that will punish financially their fellow man, so they can in turn make a small profit. These people are driven by a competitive spirit where their prevalent thoughts are to obtain as much “wealth” as possible, as quickly as possible, in some attempt to rise to the top of the financial food chain. Why? So when the world collapses around them, they can live behind gated walls protecting their stores of gold, water, and toilet paper.
Will it happen for them? I can’t predict that, but what I can discuss is what I have experienced in the past. The more desperate I became in wanting something, the more I chased it, the quicker it moved away from me, and the farther it got. Yes, this is a law of attraction thing. The tighter you grasp onto something, your dominant thought is fear, fear of losing it, so lose it you will. It’s like trying to grasp onto Jello.
It is this competitive spirit that gets us into trouble, we should focus on trying to be creators, and operate with a creative spirit. A creator would instead of trying to find ways of making money off of the pain of others, would quit focusing on how to obtain more than others, and would make their prevalent thought on how they could lift others up. You will find success, in making others successful.
In the end we all end up worm food, and if you choose to keep score in your life by how many dollars you saved, versus lives or souls, then you will die unfulfilled.
I am grateful that I get a paycheck each week now. I provide a service, not only to my customers, but to my employers, and co-workers as well, and I get paid for that. I do my best to find my successes in making them successful.

You seem very upset about the haves.
Money does so much good to those that have it IF they use it to help others.
Money CAN buy being happy if one choose to use it that way.
I have given more over the years to some that NEED help. I could not have done that IF I had not put making money in my top 5 of TO DO’S each and every day.

Upset about the haves? No, not in the least bit, I do believe you might have misunderstood my post.
I have no issue with wealth, I have no issue really with what people choose to do with their wealth. Everyone is ultimately responsible for their own choices, and their own happiness.
I am honestly having trouble even trying to explain myself, because I can’t quite seem to figure out how you came to the conclusion that I have trouble with the “haves.”
The dominant thought right now, is that we are going into a depression. With so much energy, worldwide, focusing on that thought, day in and day out, it seems like it will overpower the few, who envision a prosperous future for our country.
I believe in creating wealth, so that it frees a person to act on their passions, and fulfill their purpose here, in this lifetime.
But, I believe that it should be done with a creative spirit, and not a competitive one. Like when you develop a business and treat your employees, vendors and customers like partners. By going out into the world and asking what you can do for others.
I don’t know if that adequately explains it, I’m sorry you go the wrong idea about what I was trying to say.
