TO GET RICH
Suggested Money Mantra (say it, write it, feel it, own it):
I love money and am grateful every day that it’s surrounding me with its
glorious goodness.
1. Take five things in your life that frighten you, bum you out, irritate you, find reasons to
be grateful for them, and write them down (and feel this gratitude, don’t just give it lip
service).
2. Make a list every evening before bed of ten things that you’re grateful for.
3. List five reasons you have faith in yourself.
4. List five reasons you have faith in the Universe.
5. Give comes from abundance, get comes from lack. Place your focus on abundance
and strengthen your faith by giving away money every day for twenty-nine days. Give
as little as a nickel or as much as you can in whatever way you can. Do it secretly
whenever possible.
6. Faith requires patience. All seeds have a gestation period and it’s up to the Universe,
not us, how long that period is. Getting all uptight and freaked out doesn’t make it go
any faster. Put three things in place to help yourself stay patient while keeping your
faith strong. Here are some options: Practicing deep breathing anytime you feel
yourself starting to freak out, repeating a mantra like “It’s acomin’, I can feel it!”
Soaking in the feelings of how it will be once it arrives. Get superspecific and have
these tools at the ready: What you focus on you create more of so focusing on
impatience = lack = pushing it away. Choose what to focus on to strengthen your faith
and patience and you will be victorious.

CHAPTER 8
DECISIVE ACTION: THE CHOICE OF
CHAMPIONS
’m obsessed with this movie called Touching the Void about these two
guys who climb some gigantic mountain that’s never been summited by
humans before because it’s like the death star of snow and wind and icy
forlornness. But they’re into it, and they go and they summit and it’s all
high fives and Woo-hoo we did it and I think I can see my house from here
and then, on the way down, of course . . . blizzard.
I watch a lot of these types of extreme survival movies where people
have to eat each other’s frozen bodies after a plane crash or cut their own
arm off when a boulder lands on it and traps them in a canyon, but Touching
the Void is high atop my list because, holy crap, what happens to one of the
guys . . . I mean, just when you think things can’t get worse they get so
much worse you find yourself screaming “Oh my God!” out loud even if
you’re watching by yourself.
I’m not going to give away all the details because I really want you to
see it, but I am going to talk about the ending, because this guy is served
one colossal shit biscuit after another after another after another, and his
mindset is the only reason he gets out of there alive (you know at the
beginning of the movie that he survives, btw, so no need to thank me). He
has to traverse an endless expanse of frozen glacier that could, at any
moment, crack open beneath him and send him spiraling down into a giant,
bottomless crevasse. Then, once he’s off the glacier, he has to stumble
through an impossibly jagged terrain of boulders, all of which he does with
a broken leg, a face that looks like a pepperoni pizza from frostbite and
sunburn, frostbitten fingers, frostbitten toes, no food, no water, no
sunglasses (so snow blind), covered in his own excrement, AND he has a
really bad song stuck in his head.
He’s trying to use his ice ax as a crutch, which doesn’t really work, so he
winds up slipping and falling and banging his mangled leg on rocks nearly
every single step he takes, weeping and hollering in pain each time. But he
never gives up, he just hops and falls and screams his way back to base
camp, which, by the way, may or may not be deserted by the time he finally
gets there. His team may have packed up and left him for dead. This
agonizing journey seems to go on for nine hundred years, and if you’re like,
