Wealth Increase February 4, 2007

It wasn’t until a few months ago that I first heard about the law of attraction (intention-manifestation). I then decided to faithfully try it out and see if the universe would present some proof of it working.
Today, I’m a believer.
I figured it would be best to start small and then increase the stakes. The first intention I put out was an experiment to get another person to do a specific task for me. After two weeks it manifested - exactly the way I wanted it to. Then I intended to find and move into a new, cheap and fitting apartment before the year end. After many strange twists, turns and obstacles it eventually happened on December the 31st. I still wasn’t totally convinced, so it was time to make an even bolder intention - to become financially free.
I participated in the Million Dollar Experiment and told myself that even if it takes a lifetime to accomplish having a million dollars come into my life, it would be worth the effort. My greatest intention for now is still to be financially independent rather than being a millionaire. A month into it, I’ve been able to manifest an additional, approximate wealth of 13 months. If this figure doesn’t make sense to you, read first how you should measure wealth.
In more common terms, my figure in the next update of Steve’s list will be $6,537.25 unless I manifest even more before the next update takes place. It may be a great addition to some and a very paltry amount to others. What have I been doing to get this current result?
First, I focused and put out the intention of being financially free and a millionaire. Next, I actually listen to the million dollar intention audio six times per day that Steve provides on his page. I also changed my desktop image to one with the million dollar intention in writing. And last but not least, I currently live exactly the way I would live if I were financially free. This might be the best way to see it come to fruition for good.
I certainly didn’t expect the separate money sums to arrive that summed up to the current amount, but I’m dead on serious on my quest to experience this freedom and personal growth opportunity on a sustaining level. So how about it, have you started getting some results or is this all bogus to you?

Dr. Russell Conwell’s Acres of Diamonds is actually a lecture that he is recorded to have held over 6,000 times. Summing up at 40 pages, this book can also be found as a free e-book at various personal development internet sources.
It starts off with several stories where the main character is ignited with a spark of trying their luck to find wealthy lands filled with resources like gold, diamonds, oil or silver. In every single case, no matter from where this person starts out or where he ends up seeking treasures, he fails miserably. However, the successor who takes over the farm or homestead of the person that sold it all in order to leave and strike it rich, finds loads of the very same form of riches in that particular area of land that was left behind. The moral of these stories is that one should first take a look at what one has, because the acres of diamonds might be there right under our noses.
Continuing on, Conwell expresses his thoughts and responses to the common questions, objections and misconceptions about wealth. Among them he points out that:
While every word in the book is that of wisdom, I discovered something of a minor flaw in the introduced stories. Whenever a person went to seek a fortune and left behind a piece of land that turned out to be filled with riches, the successor that discovered the riches actually did the very same thing! They didn’t stay where they were, they were in the lookout for something better as well. They just happened to strike it rich just as the main characters envisioned for themselves. I don’t believe in hiding facts and exploiting opportunities by scheming, but there were nothing of the sorts involved in these stories. Nevertheless, I say wealth can be created anywhere, but there’s a great deal of experience to be gained if one travels the world a bit as well. AoD is a good read, although I suggest you try find this copy someplace for free.
