Let Me Give

I don’t know how long I have to liveBut while I do, Lord ,let me give

Some comfort to someone in needBy smile or nod-kind word or deed

And let me do whatever I canTo ease things for my fellowman.

I only want to do my part,To “lift”a tired and weary heart.

To change folks frowns to smiles againSo I will not have lived in vain.I do not care how long I live.

If I can give-and give- and give.

I Dedicate this book to my beautiful wife Berenice and children Chayne and Caitlynn Knockpaal.

Chapter 1

Whatever you think about, you bring about

Truly “Thought’s are Things” and very powerful. In the beginning of time God Thought of what he wanted and through that thought he created Earth. He knew exactly what He wanted and He brought it about. When they are mixed with a definition of purpose, persistence and a burning desire for their riches and other material things.

Some time ago, James Bhemgee discovered how true it is that men and women can become success conscious. James Bhemgee, 48, a former street sweeper from Mitchell’s Plain, Cape Town walked away with R 250 000.00 in cash after clinching the second SA’s Got Talent competition. Mr Bhemgee’s rags to riches story started while he was a street sweeper in Mowbray, Cape Town in 1998. He was discovered by a resident who heard him singing while sweeping the streets, he then received private voice training from 1998 to 2002 and the rest is history as we know it. It shows you the determination he had and the persistence with a burning desire, it is quoted he said in the semi- finals “he had this winning feeling” and it’s that feeling that made him a winner.

I have learned, from experience that when a man really desire a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win. Maybe Mr Bhemgee did not know it at the time, but his purpose, his persistence and humbleness and a single desire that he will come out triumphant.

I want to ask you now what do you want? I want to finish my studies, I want a good job that pays a good salary, I want to be a business owner. I tell you that

of 36


you can have what you want, I tell you now you are the creator of your own destiny, people have this perception that my teacher is the one that is going to make me pass my matric, my boss is going to give me that promotion, my business is going to make money because I have the right product. All of what you want, lies within you success comes to those who become success conscious.

When you become success conscious, you will observe that success and riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hard work. You and every other person ought to be interested in knowing how to acquire that state of mind which will attract success and riches. I spent a couple of years in research because I too, wanted to know how the rich becomes richer.

Observe very closely as soon as you master the principles of this philosophy and begin to follow the instructions for applying those principles, your financial status will begin to improve, and everything you touch will begin to transform itself into an asset for your benefit. Impossible? Not at all.

One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average man or woman’s familiarity with the words “impossible, I can’t” all negative thinking. He or she knows all the things which will not work. He or she knows all the things which cannot be done. This book was written for those who seek the rules that have made others successful and are will to learn this rules to live a happy fulfilled life.

Henry Ford said,”If you think you can or if you think you can’t, both ways you are right”. Success come to those who become success conscious. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious. The purpose of this book is to help all who seek it to learn the art of changing their minds from failure consciousness to success consciousness.

Another weakness people have altogether, too many people have a habit of measuring everything, and everyone by their own impression and belief. You were brought up to believe that you must go to school get a good education get a good job with perks and good salary this is right to a certain degree. People who read this will believe that they cannot think and grow rich because of their thought habit have been steeped in poverty, want, misery, failure and

of 36


defeat, the believes of our parents no disrespect to them it’s how they were brought up too. The chain of generational habit need to be broken NOW!

Chapter 2The Creative Thinking

“Whatsoever things ye ask for when in prayer, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them,” said Jesus.

There are three very simple steps in the creative thinking and you can find it in the New Testament. The first step is to ask make a command to the Universe, let the Universe know what you want. The Universe will respond to your thoughts but you must be clear on what you want, write it down what you want, example “I’m so Happy and Grateful Now that...I passed my exams.I got that promotion.I’m driving the car of my dreams, etc.You must have faith in what you want by affirming it to the Universe. You must have a clear mental picture, you need to believe it so much that you “deceive” your subconscious mind. We need to do that with good intentions because we have been programmed to think “we can’t” so it will be very hard at first but you can do it. Here is a few simple steps to follow.

First: Be positive, you know you have the ability to achieve what you ask in prayer, demand yourself to be persistent in achieving you’re goal and you must promise yourself to accomplish this action.

Second: Meditate for Thirty Minutes a day probably in the morning, upon the task of what you’re thinking, get a clear mental picture of the thing in your mind and believing that it is yours already claim it and the law of attraction will move all people, circumstances and events for you to receive.

Third: Love yourself have faith and demand yourself to develop self-confidence. You must eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness and competitiveness. You must feel happy and good, repeat to yourself I’m receiving now, feel It that you’re receiving now!

of 36


In order to accomplish this you need to put it in to action, you can’t just simply sit back and wait for the Universe to do the work, you won’t get something for nothing. In many cases the Universe will give you inspired thoughts, you must make use of these thoughts, TAKE ACTION!!

Action may sound like work but inspired action is acting as if you received, so if you were in action trying to make it (negative thoughts) thinking “I can do this but what if I don’t receive...” you will be moving backward, inspired action is so eventless and it feel wonderful because you will be feeling as if you are receiving. Life is like a fast moving river so if you’re acting it will feel like you swimming upstream it will feel hard and it will become a struggle so when you acting as if you receive from the Universe that is inspired action you will be swimming with the current it feels good so when there is a feeling in your gut, when a good feeling comes over you, don’t doubt you will be swimming upstream again.

Trust your instincts it’s the Universe communicating with you so if it is money you’re attracting, people that you’re attracting doesn’t matter what you’re attracting it will attract to you. My wife tried it in the beginning when we were just starting to learn the secret, I was on business this day and she was at home with our six month old baby an ad came on the TV this new dark chocolate and she visualized herself going to the shop and buying this chocolate opening it and enjoying it she had inspired action acting as if she’s having it already. I got home that evening with a few things for my wife and five year old boy and the smile that was on her face I thought she was happy to see me but she told me of what she affirmated and I brought her the chocolate that she saw on TV, she was so excited she told me it works, it works the law of attraction works. It’s something small but if it can work for a chocolate it can work for anything. Many of you may have experience it before without you knowing it, it the law of attraction working for you.

I know people want to know how long will it take to manifest the car, the job, the money whatever it maybe, well I don’t have the book on that say it will take one day or thirty days, I know for a fact that it’s all up to you, if you experience a time delay, it’s because of your believing, know and feeling that you already have it.

Chapter 3Negative Thinking

“If you think you are beaten, you are,If you think you dare not, you don’t.

If you like to win, but you think you can’t, It’s almost certain you won’t.

“If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,For out in the world we find,

Success begins with a man’s willIt’s all in the state of mind.

“you think you are outclassed, you are,You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself beforeYou can win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who winsIs the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!”

If you look at your current state of affairs the money problems this is who I am, that’s not who you are that’s who you were it’s the outcome of your past count and actions the generational habit so if you bring this generational habit into your current state of affairs you DOOM yourself to have nothing more than the same in the future it all comes down to NEGATIVE THINKING.

of 36


Doubt and unbelief falls under this chapter, every hour and moment you spend in doubt and fears, every hour spend worrying, every hour your soul is possessed by unbelief, will put you in the river swimming upstream and everything seems to go wrong for you.

Negative personality, you got no hope of success if you give off negative personality you will only become sick and full of misery and attract all negative things to you. You must have come across people that have this negative aura around them, personally I cut myself off from people who are negative, If you surround you with negative people and agree with their negative thoughts you will surely be swimming upstream with them.

The seven Major negative Emotions to be avoidedThe emotion of Fear

The emotion of jealousyThe emotion of hatred

The emotion of revengeThe emotion of greed

The emotion of superstitionThe emotion of anger

Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time. One or the other must be dominant. It’s your responsibility to make sure that positive emotions are the dominating influence in your mind. Form the habit of applying and using positive emotions. Eventually positive thinking will dominate the mind so completely that the negative cannot enter it.

People have the tendency to look at the things that they want and say yes I want that, then the look at the things that they don’t want and give off the negative energy of I don’t want that and the more you give off the negative energy the more you get of what you don’t want, did it ever happen to you I guess so cause it happened to me before. Examples, I don’t want to get sick, I don’t want to be late, I don’t want people to talk to me like that, sound familiar the more you say that the more you will get from what you don’t want.

I hope you can see the power within you; you decide what you want to do with that power, give off a negative power or radiate the positive power.

Chapter 4Positive Thinking

I grew up you must work hard for money, because that is what I was thought there it is again the generational habit, but deep down I knew this is not right. My mother always said you must work for a boss that is the only way you will earn money, in the beginning I thought that was the truth and growing up in Mitchell’s Plain it’s what I heard all over, I couldn’t understand how “white people” was so successful and why are we struggling so much, I saw on TV when white people drank they were so sober minded and in our community people were drunk all the time. I knew I wanted to know what white people knew cause it seems to be working for them and I wanted it too. I had a friend Regan Petersen, I told him “I will be a successful business one day and help my community” without me knowing it I set my mind to POSITIVE THINKING, success comes from within, not from without.

My last place of employment was a medical company, the Director of the company was a Swiss Doctor, he send me for a IQ test before I started in my new job, when he got the results back he called me in the office and we were discussing my results, he told the other manager in the office with us “I must watch out for Carlo he is going to take over my company” and I told him “I don’t want to take over anybodies company I want to start my own company”. I hope you can see what I was doing, thinking positive all the time and I can say I worked for them a couple of years and after that I resigned to start my own business. This is just a little of me on my journey of life and how positive thinking was working for me. I must say it wasn’t an easy journey as in the chapters before I had my struggles too, there was time life kicks the wind out of me and many people would say now this is your burden you must carry, I was never meant to have a business I should have stayed in my job and work for a boss, listen it’s not a burden, it’s a Blessing. We are sometimes tested by

of 36


God to see if we can handle the bad position that we find ourselves in, and many of us gives up hope, when people don’t have anything they generally don’t feel good and start with negative thinking, you will stop the flow of good things coming to you, you can start by saying “I’m Happy and Grateful now that money comes to me, in ever increasing quantities from multiple sources on a continuous basis, say like you mean it with a positive attitude

The children that is still on school this book applies to you too, I have a five years old son who will be attending school next year for the first time, I have been teaching him the secret and that it lies within him. I told him if he wants to be successful in school he needs to repeat the following “I’m a genius and I apply my wisdom”. I hope you can see what I’m trying to do with him, I’m not doing it for me but only him, that he believe he is a genius and can achieve anything in life. He is not even on school yet but can do what a grade 2 pupil can do already. Our children should never be told that he or she can’t do this or that, they can do it. We as parents should invest time in them, not telling them this can’t be done we don’t have any money for this if a child has a dream don’t ever tell that child we can’t, I don’t believe in I can’t, we are Can Do people, we can do and achieve anything we set our minds to. We might not have anything but out of nothing something can be created, if you have a desire for your child to have success in life, the Universe will grant it for you, Think and be positive. Visualize your child as a Doctor, Lawyer, and Entrepreneur etc. And see what will happen I will guarantee the time and effort you invest in your child will pay off. My child want to be a Doctor and I support him in that every day we speak about what a doctor do how they help the sick and heal them but I also teach him to help people with positive thinking. Sickness is a state of mind if you think you sick you will stay sick it was proven by scientist sickness is all in your mind they got a group of sick people together and diagnosed them with certain illnesses and gave them all sugar tablets they didn’t know it was sugar tablets, the people thought taking the tablets as they normally do, will heal them a few days later all of them were healed. So you can think and grow rich too, this is what I mentioned in the beginning of this chapter too. You can do this with the perfect relationship you want too, visualize the perfect partner and you will attract them to you, this is how I met my beautiful wife too, she’s everything and more what I visualized. So if you want to attract something in your life make sure your actions don’t contradict your desires.

A friend of mine told me a story of a young man whose father was sick, the more he told his father about positive thinking the more his father didn’t want

of 36


to hear of it excepting he is sick and will die like that, his father was a pessimist. He thought how he could help his sick father, one day he went into an antique store and saw a ring that looked very old. He bought it and got a piece of wood took it to a friend telling him what to do with the ring, He told his father about this ring and the healing powers this ring have cause there is a piece of wood that belonged to the cross Jesus was crucified on in this ring. His father ask him to get this ring and he said he’ll try and ask if he can borrow it for a short time, he brought this ring to his father and his father held this ring so tightly and went to go and sleep with this ring too. The next day his father was healed from his sickness, so you see the power of positive thinking works, the power is within us all.

Everything you want is an inside job, the outside world is a world of effects, it’s just the results of thoughts set your thoughts and frequency on happiness, radiate the thought of happiness within you and transmit that to the Universe with all of your might and you will experience true heaven on earth.

Chapter 5Gratitude

I have an experience to tell a few years ago my brother in-law stayed with us for a few months, he was going thru a difficult time in his life. I am a devoted Christian, I got up this Sunday morning to go to church, but was too tired to go and told my brother in-law we are staying at home, but before the service started we got on our knees to pray. I prayed and ask God to please forgive us, but to send someone with the word to us after the service. Not long after the service has ended there was a knock on the door it was my minister bringing us the word of that mornings sermon, a half an hour later another minister came to us with the word and an hour later the main minister of the church came also with the word, I was so happy and grateful for this to happen to me and my family I felt truly Blessed. My brother in-law couldn’t believe what he was seeing and told me you ask and you received it in three, sad to say a year after that my brother in-law lost his life to cancer.

I just want to show when you ask and you receive you must give thanks too, gratitude is so important in our lives. Many people who think it’s because of the person that I become I don’t need anybody or anything to tell me what I must do, that is the lack of gratitude. Having received one gift from God, they cut themselves off which connect them with God by failing to acknowledge Him. The more gratefully we fix our mind on God when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come, and the reason simply is that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessing came.

If it is a new thought to you that gratitude brings your whole mind into closer harmony with the creative energies of the Universe, consider it well and you

of 36


will see that it’s true. The good things you already have, have come to you along the line of being humble and filled with gratitude. It will keep you also from becoming competitive, filled with envy and wanting to keep up with the Joneses.

“Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.” This statement is true.

And if your gratitude is strong and constant, the reaction in the conscious mind will be strong and continuous, the movement of the things you want will be always towards you. Notice the grateful attitude that Jesus took, how He always seems to be saying, “I thank thee, Father that thou hearest me.” You cannot exercise much power without gratitude, for its gratitude that keeps you connected with God.

Be happy and grateful all the time it’s what God want of us.

Chapter 6 Spiritual Growth

We all on this earth has a purpose, I can’t tell you what yours is I only know that you have one. I can share my story with you now and I only found out recently. I believe everything happens for a reason; I started to read books which I never did before and the more I read the clearer my purpose became. I got an email from a lady that email me regularly giving me inspiration letters every month and in this letter she spoke about meditation and how each of us has a spiritual Guide. In the letter she showed me how I can connect with them spiritually. In order to do this you need to believe in this and I did, many years ago I was in an accident if you saw the car you would have thought the people of this car is dead, the car rolled multiple times off a bridge on Vanguard Drive near to Mitchell’s Plain. I walked away with only a few scratches and a knock to my head which wasn’t serious, I couldn’t be thankful enough that I was still alive. I always knew I had a purpose in life, but never knew what it was. That is why I say when you ready and you believe it will all be clearer for you.

I feel my purpose is; I need to share this book with you, how you too can make contact with your spiritual guide, no need to be scared, they have always been there to help us. Did you ever feel you in a situation where it seems impossible to get out of but all of a sudden something inside of you tell you what to do, it’s your spiritual guide helping you and sometimes we are to ignorant to except their help, sometimes they give us signs but we don’t see the signs, the help has and will always be there, it’s time for us to get off that high horse and except the help they give us.

In order to reach spiritual growth you need to become one with yourself, to love yourself, to love others and love the Almighty.

of 36


My spiritual Guide is someone very close to me; I met her when I was born, sounds far fetch?? It’s my grandmother when I was born I was the first grandchild in the family and she held me being a proud grandmother, but soon after that she sadly passed away so I didn’t know her, I only knew she held me from a picture I saw all the years I visited my grandfather’s house. Just before I made a connection with her I saw her in a dream, soon after that I could connect to her. Now I speak to her ever so often.

All you have to do is empty you mind, practice some deep-breathing meditation, and when your body and mind are completely relaxed, concentrate on your problem opening your inner being to any solutions that might arise in your mind.

First I sit still and close my eyes, then I concentrate on my breathing until I’m totally relaxed and open. Sometimes the solutions comes to me in the form of visualizations, but often my spiritual guide appears and tells me what to do. Or it can happen while I’m asleep and dreaming.

Here’s what to do to enter into contact with them:Make a list of problems you want to resolve. Get comfortable in a quiet place. Do some deep breathing, at your own rhythm. If you know who your spiritual guide is, visualize them in your mind.

Ask only one question, the one that’s seems most urgent to you right now, the one that requires a fast fix. Visualize your spiritual guide as clearly as you can open your mind totally and feel the sensations that come to you. At one point you should see a flash of light. Then you’ll know your spiritual guide is there with you. When you’re in your guide’s presence you should offer a salutation, both on arrival and departure. Then ask your question, the answers you get will depend on how advanced you are on the spiritual path, and will come either as oral transmissions or as images, symbols or objects that are related to your problem. You shouldn’t have any trouble understanding and interpreting what the higher spirits tell you, since they always use teachings and symbols that are comprehensible to those who seek their support. As long as your intentions are pure and destined to help you make progress, you can always count on their intercession. If you don’t know who your spirit guide is, make that your question. Ask your inner self who your spirit guide or guides in the invisible worlds are. If your request is sincere and meant to accomplish good, your guides should enter into contact with you at some point, in one way or

of 36


another. Don’t worry about what form they take when they come. You’ll recognize them easily enough, even if they’re not visible or apparent to others.

From today on, and until the end of your journey on earth, your guide will be your closest friend against all obstacles, the best friend you’ll ever have.

them to do it.”Harry S. Truman.

Chapter 7Set Goals

We must set goals for ourselves; it’s an important part of our life. Set yourself a goal that would blow your mind, it is important not to deviate away from your goal first achieve the goal you have set yourself and then move on to another goal. Many people lose sight of their goals and give up, they tend to focus on someone else’s goals and watch them achieve their goals and think less of themselves. This is wrong, I said through the book what you must do to achieve this, look at James Bhemgee he set himself a goal that he is going to win SA got Talent and he won. He never doubted for one second he will fail he believed and achieved his goal.

The same can be said of many South Africans, look at Mr Nelson Mandela former prisoner that became the President of South Africa, Natalie Du Toit Paralympic have one leg, multiple gold medalist and James Bhemgee former street sweeper, all had obstacles many of us would think it’s impossible to get out of this situation that you find yourself in but not for them they had a goal, I believe all I mentioned now all became very spiritual, they didn’t let their circumstances and disabilities keep them away from their goals it was a blessing for them, it is just a few of many ways God shows us what we are capable of, my heart burns with admiration for these people.

I had my share of circumstances in my life, but I never let it get me down. My father once told me that if you are down on your knees you can’t go further than that, the only way is up.

People would think now it’s easy for you to say, you got it in you, you not in my situation. I got a life filled with worries and fears of how to pay the bills put food on the table etc, I tell you now you can change the circumstances you find

of 36


yourselves in, I know it will be very hard at first but if you follow this book and put it to practise you will find your circumstances, obstacles and bad situations will disappear and you will live the life of your dreams.

Never admit the possibility of failure, or speak in a way that would make failure a possibility. Never speak of hard times, you can create what you want if you are above fear. Never allow yourself to feel disappointed, you may want a certain thing at a certain time, and not get it at that time, and this will appear to you like failure. If you positive and believe, you will receive something so much better that you will see that the seeming failure was really a great success.

You will not fail because you lack the necessary talent to do what you wish to do. If you go on as I have directed, you will develop all the talents that is necessary to ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL!

Chapter 8Never Give Up

Don’t ever give up on your goals and dreams, when you feel you have done everything still things don’t seems to go your way, just as you give up you are at the point for a better life.

A couple of days ago my wife told my five year old son to do something for her and it was to put away the ironing board, this one of ours fold up. She told me he struggled for a long time and she left him to finish it, knowing a five year old they lose interest quickly, my son got fed up and left the board alone two minutes later he was back in the room mumbling something and he was talking to himself saying “you try and try and try until you get it right”. I felt like crying cause that the spirit we as people should have, I know my son is on the right path of life because that is what we teach our children in our house. He was so happy when he heard my wife telling me what happened he shouted “I can do it Daddy” and I told him I knew he can do and that I believe in him.

As young people starting out in the world we have BIG dreams, as soon you get your first pay check your dream shrink to the size of the pay check, that is when most of us give up thinking I will never reach my dream and get stuck on the idea and help someone else reach their dream.

You must find out what is your passion what do I love doing, if you are happy working for someone and getting paid a very good salary then do it, if you have a passion and that passion become a major business good for you.

This is the best time in history to set yourself goals, we are in the information age now, so there is a lot of information at your finger tips all you need to do, make use of it and think and grow, when we know better, we do better.

of 36


You are the designer of your destiny, you are the author, you write the story the pen is in your hand and the outcome is whatever you choose. The beautiful thing of the law of attraction is that you can begin with the situation you find yourself in now, set yourself that goal to get that perfect job you want, to be debt free in the next year, to get out of the abusive relationship that you find yourself in, whatever it is you can change it you have the power within you don’t be scared to take that first step get out of the thinking that “I can’t”, you can do it, nothing is holding you back but you.

I know a couple of people who live in the past, something bad happened to them years ago and yet they keep on thinking of that time in their life. Don’t make the past your burden you will never move forward, you will be pushing away people who love you and want to help you, I WANT TO HELP YOU!

Some people have this saying “one day when my ship comes in, I will buy me...” do you agree? I hear it a lot in my community, this is people that has no goals they are waiting for handouts there is no such thing as handouts, God has given you talents that you must put to good use it’s time for you to use them. We have a tendency to want to see before we believe, we must believe first and then we will see. It all begins with setting yourself that goal. DON’T GIVE UP.

Chapter 9

The Secret to life

God want us to be healthy and happy, if someone have wronged you in the past, forgive and let go. Don’t live in the past, the past makes us who we are, don’t make it your burden. I commended a young black man once on what he is studying and told him we need more of our own young people to make our country a better place.

He told me that he was angry about the people coming in to our country taking up all the jobs, he told me that he at first didn’t agree with the xenophobic attacks but he see now that it’s the right thing to chase these people out of our country further on he says that these people has been free for 30 years in their country and got all the education we are only starting now it’s because of apartheid that he is struggling and so on, just negative stuff coming out of his young mouth. I stood there in amazement at what this young man was saying, and ask him to calm down and explained to him the implication of what he just said, I told him he was in a negative state of mind and that he was blaming the past for what he find himself in now. I told him don’t make the past your burden you will be stuck in that rut for a very long time and never move forward to the life that he deserve.

He took that teaching away with him and said he never looked at it in that way, I also told him, that these people came to our country to find a better life for themselves and their families. These people have no opportunity in their own country, the methods herein set forth are the people whose desire for success and comfortable life is strong enough to overcome mental state of laziness and the love of ease and make them work. The lesson in this is your mind is like a parachute it only works when open.

You must never let negative people steel your dreams. I had my share of negative people in my life, people always told me you can’t do this and you can’t do that and I looked at them like what are you talking about! As a young man still at my mom’s house I had a vision of what my life must be, I always had this burning desire to be an Entrepreneur and to be a Motivational Speaker but growing up in a generational habit environment it was told to me that only “white people do that”. I never believe what I was told and thank God I didn’t because that would have put me in a mental state of laziness. Today I’m happy to say I have the woman of my dreams father of two beautiful kids a successful entrepreneur, Author and a motivational speaker.

God has given us the gift of life and given us the talent that we will use thru our lives, but most of us are not using it. I will tell the riches place on earth is the graveyard, in that ground lays the music that was never written, the book that was never published, the inventor who never created the one thing we needed the most etc.

Do the things that you love and will bring you joy and if you do not know what brings you joy ask the question the answer will be given to you and as you find out what gives you joy the law of attraction will bring more joy, love, opportunity, positive people in to your life all because you radiating joy. Inner happiness is the fuel to success so be joyous now, be happy now, feel good now, if that is what you get from reading this book than you have receive the greater part of the secret.

I’m following my excitement, my enthusiasm, my passion and I’m doing it all day I’m using the secret. We are People Unlimited we can achieve anything we put our mind to the only problem is that we as people limit ourselves to only doing one thing only and we are not even good at that, we give up that is what happen next. There is a saying “keep on keeping on”, never give up if you are on your knees you get up and try, and try, and try again.

I was also where you are in your life now, I had a business venture that has failed we were behind with our bond on our house, we were broke, debt collectors calling, letters of demand coming and a four month old baby need I say more. I can tell you that were my lowest point in my life, but did I give up NO! I got up, dusted myself off and tried again. I studied the wise people the millionaires of our time and just applied to my life what they told me in their books. I went to a seminar of International life coach Ebrahim Waja he is the business partner of Bob Procter in South Africa, firstly let me tell you how we

met, a couple of years ago my wife printed a page from the internet for me at that time I was busy reading the book You were born rich by Bob Proctor, and it was a website of Ebrahim Waja I had this desire to meet Ebrahim and affirmed it, two years later I was sitting in his seminar the Universe has granted me this and I was happy grateful. I was attracting in my life what I needed.

You have come to this juncture in your life merely because something in you kept saying you deserve to be happy, you were born to add some value to this world to be the best that you can be. Every single thing you been thru has prepared you, every obstacle that was in your way was to prepare you for this moment right now. I believe that you are great, that there is something great about you, regardless of what has happened in your life, regardless of your age, the moment you become Success Conscious the power that is in you that is greater than this world, it will begin to radiate out of you, it will take over your life, it will feed you, it will cloth you, it will guide you, it will protect you, direct you, it will give your life meaning, if you let it and that is what I know for sure. The sun rises and it sets for you, the wind blows for you, the birds sing for you, every beautiful thing you see, every wonders thing you experience is all there for you, take a look around none of it can exist without you, no matter who you thought you were, now you know the truth of who you really are, you are the heir to the kingdom and now you know the secret. May you feel the joy and happiness? The secret has always been, always will be and will always ever be; now you know the secret. It lies within you.

Chapter 10Summary of When we know better, we do better

I hope this book could help you see in order to have a better and prosperous life, the power lies within you. In order to do this we must not have a competitive mind but a creative mind, “winners never quits and quitters never wins”.

You can’t solve your problems with the same mentality that created them! We must stop with the thinking “I forgive you but I won’t forget”, remember that’s negative thinking; you have come so far with this book to waste time on thinking negative.

You must form a clear and definite mental picture of the things you wish to have, to do, or to become and you must hold this mental image in your thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the Universe that all your desires are granted to you already. Those of you who wish to be financially free must spend time enough by yourself in visualizing yourself having that life when all your debt are paid, you can send your kids to the best schools, you never having money problems again the only problem you should have in this is that you have more than enough money, we don’t want bad problems, we only want good problems.

Everything that coming into your life you are attracting into your life, it is attracted to because of the visions you hold in your mind, so if you hold bad images in your mind that is what you will attract, same goes for sickness, if someone around you has the flu and you tell them stay away I don’t want that flu, too late it’s not that person that gave you the flu it’s because you thought of it that’s why you will have the flu tomorrow. You will get more of what you don’t want, have you ever thought of your doctor, why he is always healthy, if all his patients came to him and he was thinking I don’t want the Illnesses of all

my patients, how sick would your doctor be at the end of the day. I can tell you he holds a vision of health in his mind, how else can he help you get well.

Remember to set GOALS, if you are a person that struggles with negative thinking get yourself a Vision Board where you get pictures of all the goals you want to achieve in your life and place it in a spot where you will see it every morning you stand up and every evening you go to sleep and hold that image in your mind, ASK, BELIEVE, RECEIVE.

We need to get Spiritual, more God less you. Try to meditate and make your connection with your Spiritual Guide, they are with you all the time; they are the best friend you will ever have.

Always be grateful for what you have and more for what you don’t have, I’m grateful I could write this book for you, - Author

Never give up, remember if you are on your knees fold your hands and ask God to help you, “ask and it shall be given unto you”. Prayer is the first ever form of communication, it was brought about by thought, make use of it, its free minutes.

Whatever your dreams, whatever your desires, be brave, take action and pursue them today. Life is too short and too precious to waste doing what you don’t want to do. Make every day count!

This book was written for you with love, this is your master copy treasure it with your life if you enjoyed it, tell friends and family about it don’t keep it to yourself we must give and in turn we will receive.

Much love and blessingsCarlo Knockpaal
