Okay, so you’ve been victimized by a person by his so-called mind reading abilities, and you’ve done your share of searching the internet for free mind reading tricks to get even with him. Admit it, you were outsmarted by that guy’s crafty moves and mastery of the trick. But always remember, if he can do it, there’s no reason why you couldn’t as well.

It doesn’t take a genius for one to know that there are thousands of free mind reading tricks available in the internet. However, if you’re truly determined to pull off that one amazing, trick, the internet may not necessarily be a good place to start. One person somewhere must have come across the same tricks, and might have considered doing them to please a crowd.

If you want to learn a single trick to help you read other people’s minds, then you better read on. There may be different versions of this trick but this version of the trick truly sets it apart from the rest out there.

The name of the trick is the “Quick! Quick! And Don’t Think!” game. The game is simple. It is best played with close friends, people you have known for a long time and have had a long time being together. Before the trick, write the words ‘poodle’ and ‘golden retriever’ on 2 separate slips of paper. Then, have 3-5 people join you in this game. Give each person a pencil and a small piece of paper.

Now, inform your friends that you’ve recently discovered that you have been given with mind reading abilities, and it was only just a week ago that you’ve found that out. Of course, most often your friends would laugh at you, most probably they won’t believe you. If this happens, don’t panic. Instead, celebrate. This is exactly what you want them to think. They can laugh now, but after the trick, you’ll be the one doing all the laughing.

Have your friends be seated along a circle. Then, ask them to spell out simple words. Ask them to write down these words on their slip of paper. You can use any word as long as all words belong to a certain category. For instance, your category is astronomy. You can use Star, Moon, Sun, as long as these words have something in common or belong in the certain classification or group. Have 5 words for these. Next, after the 5th word, instead of asking for another word involving astronomy, ask them to write a type of dog, and to write it as quickly as possible.

At the slightest hint of any of your friends thinking (maybe looking up, closing their eyes, mouthing the word ‘um,’ etc.) approach them quickly and pressure them! Panic them, shout at them, do everything you can! After you’ve made certain everyone has finished writing, tell them that even before your simple game began, you’ve already guessed their answers for their last question. Show them your piece of paper containing “poodle.” Most likely, a few of your friends wrote the same.

Yes, this trick involved luck, but quite honestly, luck is on your side here. If it turns out “poodle” is wrong, tough luck! You’ll get them next time. At least you’ve finally found your go-to trick. You don’t need to look for free mind reading tricks ever again!

“There are two kinds of knowledge”, states Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich; “one is general and the other specialized”. Contrary to most educational systems Mr. Hill believed that general knowledge in and of itself was worth little, regardless of “quantity or variety”.

He further believed that knowledge is not power, as many to this day believe and state, but rather the potential for power. Knowledge, according to him, has a conditional requirement for power. It must be organized into a definite plan of action with a definite direction.

Mr. Hill says, “An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge”. Furthermore he states, “An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others”.

He cites Henry Ford as an example. Mr. Ford was not concerned with having great general knowledge. If he needed the answer to a question that he didn’t know, he simply asked one of his employees that were experts in their field. Today we would call that a master mind group.

So was Napoleon Hill anti-knowledge? Certainly not! He realized that only applied and directed knowledge had value, and that no one person had to posses it all personally.

So what does specialized knowledge have to do with thinking and growing rich?

“Think and Grow Rich”, does not state that riches will just appear. But rather to the willing mind, a way will open to acquire them through some sort of action. In Mr. Hill’s personal experience, this action most often required a special type of knowledge.

Specialized knowledge as he defined it is, “knowledge of the service, merchandise or profession which you intend to offer in return for fortune”. Many examples are given in his text of this process, but the cases are all similar. There is a call for action, a demand for special knowledge and then an action to be taken.

A simple illustration may explain it best. Often times we need to get from point A to point B in life. This process will require us to take action. In order to accomplished this we need to have or gain specific information, a specific skill, provide a service, etc. As we acquire and utilize these things we can begin to make the transition toward our goal.

A secondary result, he noted, will often occur at this point. An idea will be born with the addition of imagination to our specialized knowledge. It’s sort of like being in the right place at the right time and all the right things are in place.

The birth of this idea is our moment of opportunity. It’s the seizing, or rather our seizing of the moment, that can lead to our fortune.

“Think and Grow Rich” introduces us, the readers, to the need and the possibility of making dramatic changes in our lives and reaping the benefits. The choice is always ours. The alternative though, is to remain the same, doing the same things and seeing the same results.

The quote was something along the lines of: “I learned that you can’t just stab people when you get mad.” My friend and I huddled around the computer in amazement as a 30 year old man was carried off in handcuffs to serve the remainder of his life in prison, his last words dangerously close to humorous, all things considered.

The humor didn’t come from his prison sentence, of course. And it goes without saying that it wasn’t a result of his actions. It was that a grown man was “learning” something that any kindergartener this side of a “My mom is the best, because…” finger painting probably already has a firm grasp of.

After humor, however, came a bit of relief. Because as obvious as that “lesson” seemed to be to me, I had to feel grateful that I have the type of life that I don’t need to learn lessons like that. Maybe if I had lived my entire life in that man’s shoes, I would’ve turned out just like him. But, much to my advantage, our realities are completely different.

Then I began to think of the lessons I’ve taken a firm grasp of and stored in my mental rolodex for later use over the years. Most of them financial, some relationship-oriented. Better savings plans, reductions in wasteful spending, more effective ways of communication, etc.

Are the lessons I’ve learned viewed by others the same way I viewed the convict’s? Is Paris Hilton sitting somewhere laughing at people like me who are forced to learn the benefit of appreciation of what you have? Does someone like her even need to learn the upside of appreciation when she’s in no danger of experiencing the downside?

Surely, there are acceptable behaviors and common courtesy guidelines that we all have to play fair by. But in the game of life, are we all on a level playing field? You could argue that elevating your mind and bettering yourself is beneficial to everyone despite social status, but benefit isn’t the issue here. The question is if it’s essential.

Does Paris really need to learn the street-smart lessons of the man who lost his entire life to a bad decision? And in turn, will the convict really benefit from the information she’d have to offer when he has zero chance of ever experiencing it?

Perhaps there are others firmly positioned in life’s inside track, marvelling at my ignorance of the world how they see it. Maybe one day my eyes will be opened to the realities of those with unlimited possibilities, and maybe they won’t.

And if not… Then I guess it really doesn’t matter now, does it?

The law of Attraction is deciding what you want, imagining you have it and knowing it will be yours. These are the keys to being a winner in the game of life. Have you had good luck in the past? Did you ever win anything? Do you win consistently or has nothing gone right for you?  These thoughts and beliefs are what the Law of Attraction is bringing to you.

You are what you think you are. What you think about yourself is who you become and what you have thought about who and what you are in the past, has created you today. Thinking is something that we don’t think about. We just do it. It’s such a habit to have chattering going on all the time. And most of the time it’s negative self talk.

What do you say to yourself when you drop something? ”Oh stupid, clumsy me.” What do you say to yourself in the mirror? This becomes a belief about who you are when you repeat it more than a couple of times. Those beliefs carry over into all facets of your life; your job, marriage, health and wealth.

Life is a game, and we can play the game to be a winner. When you play a board game, or a sport game, in order to do well, you must learn the rules, play by them and practice in order to be competent at playing.

Life’s game has rules. The rules are, you have unlimited imagination and free will to choose anything you desire, and you have the ability to create your desire. The consequences are, what you choose to think and feel will be reflected back to you–this is what you will create.

Therefore, in order to play by the rules, you must learn to become aware of what you think, because that is what you will create for yourself.  If you don’t like this game, you can play a different one. You have the choice and the ability. Today is a new day and a new beginning. Anything you thought or spoke in the past that meant doubt, failure or was not up to what you would really like is gone. You don’t need to think about it any more. You are a powerful person.

“Hang in there long enough and strong enough and you will get it” is one of the fundamentals of the game of life. There are no failures, only delays in results. What you want to attract is on its way to you, just hang in there. Some of our desires may take a bit longer to manifest. Just because they don’t show up quickly, doesn’t mean you don’t get them.   Simply give them more energy by thinking about them. Write them on cards that you can put places you see all the time, and they will remind you to think about them and know they are coming to you.

Life has been set up on purpose with the Law of Attraction as the way Life works.   You can work with it to make it a winning game for you, and no one else loses just because you win.

We are all caught up in this game called life. There is no reset button. No way to shut it off and start over. There are no save points in this game. No go to pass and collect $200. There are rules however, and understanding these rules and the point of the game helps in the entire game of life. The rules are simple, enjoy the journey, and let go of trying to win. There are no winners, only players, some people play the game simply for the joy of the game. Others give up and wait for their turn to lay down forever. Others are lost in the middle. Learn to love the game, and play it with all your heart.

Life is a very serious game, and like all games there is an end. So many people are trying to win at the game of life, but what does winning mean? When does one know they have won at the game of life? The only victory that matters is the victory you choose for yourself. The only purpose of the game is the purpose you give yourself. There is no rule book out there telling us what the game is all about. There is nothing telling us what the game is all about. So the best we can do is play the game of life with all that we are, do as much as we can to find peace and happiness, and enjoy the game as we play it.

Take the time to find someone who does something they truly love. Maybe they make a handsome living at it, maybe not. The point isn’t how much they make or what they do. The point is the incredible joy they get out of just doing what they do. I had a mentor of mine give me an amazing insite to things once. When asked why he did what he did his response was simple: “I don’t do it because I want to help people live happier lives, because that is their responsibility and I don’t care what they do with it. I don’t do it because I want to be rich. I am, and my wealth will continue to grow as I help more people, but it’s not about the money. I simply get rewarded for doing the right things and helping people. I don’t do it because I care if people are successful or not, that’s not it at all. I don’t write because I want to entertain people, I don’t even like to type. I write because I love to create. If people get joy out of it great. If they are able to live better lives because of it that is great also, but I do it for me. I do it because it allows me to experience a place of joy. A peaceful place of creativity that allows me to connect with everything around me.” That opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world and the things I do in it.

So many people do things because they feel they have to for whatever reason. So many times people make decisions out of a fear of not having something or losing something else. Very rarely do people make a decisions simply because they would enjoy the journey of the path they choose. We all know people who are miserable at their job. They are miserable when they get home. They hate the people they work with and their spouse. They are never happy and haven’t smiled in years. We wonder if they even have the ability to laugh.

Rarely though do we find people who truly enjoy the journey of life they are on. Far and few are the people who are playing the game of life with all they have. Taking risk to create something they feel is worthy and noble. Few are the people who give what they do everything they have, and find joy and pleasure out of it. Imagine laying your head down at night knowing that you just lived one more day full of fulfillment. Remember to give life everything you are, and everything you have. Enjoy the game as you play it. Play it because you get joy out of the game. Try not to focus so hard on trying to win. If at the end of the day you are proud of the person you are becoming, joyful of the decisions you make, and happy about the steps you have taken. If you can say that is true, and you make decisions that make it so, then you are truly playing the game of life for the joy of the game. Remember not to take life to seriously, after all, it’s only temporary

Most of us maintain goals or a purpose in life. We believe we’re participating in the game of life. We anticipate that if we stick to our plan, we will achieve our goals. Sometimes events occur that we cannot anticipate like being fired from our job, getting divorced or not being able to make our bills each month. The game we’re playing isn’t always fun, and at times of adversity we look to a Higher Power to bring it back to being fun.

It is not the job of our Higher Power to make us happy; however, it is the likely job of our Higher Power to get us through our difficult times. Our Higher Power is always there to guide us, not to create miracles.

We are created by our Higher Power, connected to our Higher Power and connected to everyone else. Each time we act, speak or decide upon an action, our actions affect all others in the universe with our energy. Our Higher Power is there to guide us…to put us “on track” when we’re lost. We talk to our Higher Power through our energies of happiness, despair, fear, etc.

Everything living and dead is composed of energy. It can be argued that the attractions of energies in the universe account for everything from everyday coincidences in life to the rise and fall of the stock market.

When we’re feeling despair and losing at the game of life, we need to talk with our Higher Power and ask for a winning strategy. Eventually, ideas will come to you. It is at this time, that you must act with forceful energy to get “through” despair and back on track to winning. Have you trained for a marathon or other sporting event? Do you work out at a gym to get into shape? Ever feel like you’re not going to realize your goal? It’s at precisely this time that we’re losing the game. It is at this time, that our Higher Power shows us a path that we need to follow.

That is the time to change our game strategy and increase our energy…then we will encounter situations and people that we previously didn’t expect. Why? Because we’re changing our levels and paths of energies; when you don’t feel like doing that last workout at the gym or run when you don’t feel like it… that you break through to another level of fitness. You can break through to another level of “game fitness” also. When we change our actions and energies, we attract different situations to us. Just when we’re losing the game, we can readjust our strategy and win.

People with high amounts of energy attract more opportunities to themselves than people with low energy. People with high levels of energy seem to be more successful. Think of the president or CEO of your company or the mayor of your city. What kind of personality and energy do they possess? I bet that they don’t sit around and complain of being bored or depressed. They probably don’t shy away from others. They take action! They’re proactive. People that possess a lot of energy don’t wait for success to come to them; they pursue it with perseverance, determination and fortitude. They decide what they want and go after it; they don’t settle for what comes to them.

I wrote a status update yesterday on Facebook that said…

“How do you brand yourself in the world? Everything we do contributes to our personal brand…the ethos of who we are and how we choose to play the game of life.”

One of my friends asked me why I call life a game.  So, I thought I’d take a few minutes and share my thoughts on this wonderful game of life.

To quote Will Smith from the movie The Legend of Bagger Vance…

“Golf (Life) is a game that can’t be won, only played.”

Damn if that isn’t true.  Winning would really imply beating someone else, which puts all focus on subjective, external stuff.  That is just not the stuff that life is about.

Like any game, not everyone chooses to play life at the same levels – as we all know, many choose to simply watch from the grandstands, observing others who put on their uniforms and got in the game.

Perhaps I am naive, but I believe the difference between good and great in any endeavor has far more to do with commitment, drive, skill acquisition and developed intelligence than innate talent.  I believe this at every level.  Even in professional sports, I think there are many, many people who could play at that level if they made the choice to do so and honored their commitment at every level.

Now before you start firing off…I agree that there are some that are a cut above.  Their commitment and drive is supported by incredible natural ability…these are our superstars.

This philosophy is even more true in the game of life.  For most of us…we get up, we do things, we go to sleep and the next day we repeat the cycle.

What separates the Player from the Spectator?

What they choose to do with the space between the time they sleep is what separates the two.

Our choices each day our driven by our beliefs about ourselves, about other people and the world we live in.  To choose well, we need to get our belief systems in order.

What are your beliefs about…

What you deserve in life?

What you are worth?

Whether you are good enough?

What you are capable of?

The importance of relationships?

About men?

About women?

About money and wealth?

About health, food, disease and longevity?

These beliefs drive our choices every day.  We can outperform them for a while, but eventually the predominant belief will win out and start attracting to it results to support the belief.

Choose now to adopt beliefs that support what you say you truly want.  If you want a great relationship…then you better believe that men/women are amazing, supportive, loving, giving, _____ fill in the blanks with the things you want.

As you get the old programs cleared out – take massive action in the direction of what you want.  Put yourself out there.  Be bold.

Stick your head out of the top of the convertible, raise your hands in the air and scream at the top of your lungs!

Grow some fricken balls and GO FOR IT.

Growing up playing high school football I finally had a coach as a junior that really taught me how to play the game.  Full out every play.  No holding back.  100% effort…100% of the time.

What % of your ability are you playing at?

A huge number of people enjoy board games. An individual gets to pick out a character, a color, a number, or whatever is to there liking and of whatever the game is offering. A game, however; cannot be successfully played without the knowledge of the given rules. Most games are played, but most people do not get the clearness of what the game is teaching. All games are teaching no matter of what age preference it says on the outside of the box. What it teaches the young and the old is the game of GIVING and RECEIVING. In any game, the gift always remains on the inside, it is a working substance to rightly change the outside of oneself to promote unequivocal happiness.

We all see life as it appears to be, we live in the consciousness of our own minds. We see death, disaster, sickness, poverty and of every limitation of every kind, and we imprint this of what we see into our subconscious mind. Most people do not believe in DESTINY. Many people, however; are put in their own ignorance of their given true destinies and are striving for things and situations which do not belong to them, and this would only bring failure and dissatisfaction if attained.

Every living thing whether it be beast, plant, or animal must continually always seek for the enlargement of its own life, because life, in the mere action of living, must always seek a way to increase itself. We are always seeking a necessity for continuous increases. Every thought we are thinking of, makes it necessary for us to think another thought, in which; our consciousness is wanting an increase of the expansion of knowledge. In our game of life if we want more, and to be more, we have to know more. The individual only really lives when they perform every given function of which they have received over and over. We are given a body to live, a mind to think, and a spirit to love.

Get rid of the continuous thought of competition. You are here to create, not to compare for what has already been created. We are not here to take away from anyone. You help others not by self-sacrifice, but by making the most of yourself than in any other way.

In every thought, and in every word expressed is a stamping effect upon the subconscious and must be carried out in every detail. If you want to win in the game of life, you must know who is your supplier because with every demand has a supply from which it comes from. We have to be prepared for the winning to commence in our lives, even when there is not the slightest sign of winning in our sights.

Most of us have played board games before that cost around $20 each. What if I told you that there is one that costs around $200 dollars. Well you are likely thinking ‘why is it so expensive’? Well the game I am talking about is called Cash Flow 101 and it was created by Robert Kiyosaki.

Kiyosaki is a successful author, businessman, investor and financial educator. He is perhaps best known for his books on financial education such as Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Kiyosaki teaches how to generate enough residual income through investing, real estate and business to support yourself entirely.

Kiyosaki claims that his Cash Flow 101 game will teach you how to get out of the rat race and onto the fast track. It will show you how to have your money work for you instead of working hard for your money. It also teaches accounting, financing and investing. What you are probably wondering now is how does it do this?

When the game begins each player is given a card with a job title, salary and expenses on it. Then it starts out like a twist on monopoly and the game of life but also with financial aspects. One of which is called opportunity cards, when the player lands on this they can choose to pick either a big or small opportunity and whether or not they wish to act on it. Kiyosaki recommends playing the game until you get out of the rat race and onto the fast track.

Having read many of Kiyosaki’s books and enjoying each of them I was curious to see what Cash Flow 101 was like, so one night my friends and I got together and played it. I would say that it was surprisingly educational for a easy to play board game. It is also available in a Spanish version, a kids version and an e-version. I would recommend Cash Flow 101 as a great source of information.

Kiyosaki has stated many times before that he encourages all entrepreneurial citizens to get started with an online business before moving into traditional businesses, due to the amount of leverage with the internet. The internet is an amazing tool that enables you to market your product to over one billion people worldwide, to me that is quite a large customer base. With the minimal costs to join most network marketing companies, it really is amazing that you can be living the life of your dreams all from working at home with no major risk involved.

This is good news and bad news.

The circumstances in which we find ourselves can be quickly changed because subjective reality allows us to make energetic personal changes far more quickly than would happen if we were trying to manipulate the masses of matter formed by billions of other humans.

It is not that we are the only people manifesting change, but we are the only avatars of our subjective reality dream who are doing the manifesting. Here’s the problem. If you are thinking and worrying about some illness, it will come fairly quickly to you. If you are worrying about some financial difficulty, it will come fairly quickly to you. Perhaps you know someone who was worried about some disaster, and lo and behold, it happened to them.

It is of vital importance that you keep your mind on the good. Keep your mind on your desires rather than your fears, and get rid of the fears as fast and as completely as you can.

Be Careful of Self Deprecating Jokes

Stop any joking about your children “giving you a heart attack” or your husband or wife “driving you to drink” or your mortgage making you feel so “sick and tired…”. As Byron Katie says, “Life is always kind.” The Universe will take away anything that makes you unhappy, and your Subconscious will make real anything you talk about consistently. And, it won’t take long.

Jesus said, “By your words ye are justified and by your words ye are condemned.” So, as you’ve no doubt heard, “Be careful what you ask for.” Every statement of fact is a request.

In-tuition is being Taught from Within Just as In-curable Means Curable from Within

Once we know enough to be careful of what we say and think, we are ready for the next level of mind control or listening within. This is another area that benefits greatly from the quiet listening of meditation.

This is why you don’t want to go into busy action, having formed your own plan to execute your desire. Let the Universe help. Do be active, but also take time to listen for the promptings of Divinity.

Once you have visualized it in your Conscious Mind, and imprinted the idea in your Subconscious Mind, then your Superconscious Mind packages it for the Creative process. Divinity will partner with you in bringing it into your Subjective reality.

Have faith for this will come as surely as tomorrow’s dawn.

Jesus reassured us, “Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.” Take action, but listen for directions, adjustments and teachers who appear in your path.
