The Billionaire’s Maxim #4
Proper Use of Your Primal Power Creates Your Personal Utopia.
Many human beings spend their finest hours in a facade of satisfaction. By
this I mean they think and say they are happy, but in reality they are
miserable. They rationalize the fact they have betrayed their dreams,
neglected their human treasures and minimized the impact they could have on
the planet by telling themselves to be satisfied with what they have, instead of
evolving into more. Yes, be wildly thankful for all you have. Yet, also
consider that such individuals have dead-ended themselves through absolute
neglect and outright abandonment of their inherent power. And as a result, all
sense of personal freedom and any hope of sovereignty over their lavish
talents have been savaged.
To enter the magic of your life, you must become aware of the four
creative tools that turn each of your desires into your visible results. These
four resources that will allow you to materialize miracles in the world are
your thoughts, your feelings, your words and your deeds. Exercise your mind
to think only thoughts that serve your ascent to mastery and happiness. Sit
regularly in feelings of gratitude, positive expectancy and love for all that you
have in your life. Speak only the words of upliftment, abundance and
encouragement as you saw me doing when I was upside down. And do only
those acts that are in forceful alignment with the resident hero that sits at your
most wise foundation.
Study someone playing small with their potential and you will understand
clearly why their conditions are as difficult as they are. They focus their
thinking on their lack instead of plenty. They disrespect the potency of the
word by speaking continually of “problems”; by labeling their circumstances
as “terrible”; and by classifying rewards such as vast success, financial
wealth, contentment and energetic service to others as “impossible,” failing to
understand that it is their own speech that disconnects them from their
capacity to craft magic. Words truly are creative multipliers. And in terms of
the daily deeds of such stuck performers, they don’t work hard at all, doing as

little as possible while hoping for a beautiful life, believing no one sees this
crime against their humanity. Yet the most-high magician within them—their
conscience and their subconscious mind—watches it all. And witnesses this
theft from their best.
The next object was a 
nazar
, an eye-like amulet that some cultures use to
ward off evil people. You may have seen one, on one of your travels.
“Look, cats, I don’t believe anyone is truly evil,” the billionaire said to his
students. “Well, maybe a few. But mostly, the more I live, the more I know
that every one of us has experienced various degrees of trauma in their lives.
And as I shared earlier, only people in pain do painful things to others. Those
who are suffering create suffering. And individuals whose behavior is
confusing are generally very confused themselves. They’re just really hurting.
And something has happened to them that has caused them to feel threatened.
And so the goodness at their core has contracted and closed. To call them
horrible people is a superficial judgement. It’s a lot deeper than that quick
perception. Anyhoo, having said that, for now, let’s just say that for your own
maximum productivity, top performance, boundless joyfulness and peace of
mind, it’s really important to avoid ‘bad people,’ those who are filled with
wounds from the past that they don’t have the self-awareness not to project
onto you. I was once on a business trip in Barbados, where a taxi driver gave
me this piece of wisdom, which has served me very well. ‘Avoid bad
people.’”
The eye had this letter stuck to it:
