CONVERSATIONS WITH MELISSA:

THE WORLD - THE BIBLE- THE ECONOMY

By Melissa Zollo

Recently, I was asked the following question. “From the Bible's point of view, what is going on in the world of finance and the so called downfall of institutions? How can I gain more confidence or what the religious call faith?”

I am not an expert on the Bible but I do know that the Bible is a record of spiritual history, not physical history. The world and all within it is the product of a dream. God is dreaming. The reality of the world is within. Everything you see on the outside is only a reflection of a process occurring on the inside.

Consciousness gives all things reality. And so it is with the world of finance, business, and institutions. Don’t get stuck looking on the outside for solutions. Look within yourself for that is where everything lives. Tap into your courage. Ask yourself: What am I conscious of, lack or abundance, greed or prosperity, breakdowns or breakthroughs? With an activated imagination you can cultivate the power to summon successful results and become prosperous.

You are a dreamer and a dreamer of dreams. This means you have the power to envision ideals in your mind. Think deeply until you know that there is a creative power that always responds to your ideals.

• Seek to stop all the self-condemnation.
• Give up feeling sorry for yourself.
• Should a thought of hostility or resentment towards another pop into your mind, use your power to choose another idea.
• Do this and you will free yourself from all the stings and arrows that attack you. In other words, you will no longer feel irritated and upset by people, situations and things on the outside.

As for faith, everything you now do is done by faith. Walk out the door, or drive down the street, and you have placed your faith in departures and arrivals. Currently, there are millions of people who have invested their faith (feelings) in poverty, loss, lack, limitation and failure. They have 100% confidence in their problems and the reality of recessions, and depressions.

Be not deceived. Now is the time to develop faith in your Self. Learn to invest your feelings in self-healing, achievement, joy, success, happiness, gratitude and abundance, and in time the memory of lack will wither until you have forgiven yourself.

As yourself: What do I want to invest in from this moment forward – faith and confidence in creative fulfillment or fear of loss and failure?

Choose now because:

• You are the pattern-maker of your life.
• You are the director of infinite power.
• You set the Law of Attraction into motion.
• You are the dreamer and the dream-maker of your life.

 How? Contemplate love in the midst of chaos.  Howl at the moon if you must but sing out:

HEALING LOVE IS FLOWING THROUGH ME (AND ALL WHO I LOVE),

PERMEATING MY WHOLE BEING.  I let go and let Spirit take over in perfect faith

that only harmony, and greater good shall come to pass in the right way at the right moment.

Do this and you will align yourself with the Power that brings all your beliefs to pass. You will be fulfilling spiritual history as well as using the Laws of Life in a creative way to buffer the blows of the physical dimension.

Consciousness in action is imagination in action!

Are Your Resistance and Doubts Keeping You Stuck?

By Melissa Zollo

I am always amazed when people talk about their intentions and how much they want to make their life great. It is inspiring to listen to another person’s hopes and dreams, yet within minutes, no matter what they have said, accomplished or how much they have acquired, so often they exhibit some dominant limiting pattern of thought, beliefs, and habits that leaves them feeling hopeless, powerless, and stuck in resistance. It is this resistance or mood that prevents them from achieving the next level of success.

If we would stop long enough to examine ourselves, we would probably discover that we are hanging out in a fortress of resistance and a habitat of doubts. The walls of fear are fortified with reasons and excuses for why things are the way they are. A person’s resistance to changing their well fed habits is having more power over them than their desire or determination to realize their goals. They are lacking in decision and the commitment to break free. 

Often doubts trigger automatic resistance and reactions. It takes no effort to react compulsively, without taking the time to use a solution based approach or the creative thinking required to design a new response. We all have our compulsive reactions. We all are misused by them. We all have play acted as if we had been rendered impotent and powerless by some person, event, or situation. The truth is that this is simply habit and old conditioning showing up. 

• What are some of your learned doubts and excuses for not facing or dealing with your resistance? List the obvious ones.
• What do they give you?
• What comfort do they offer? Now go for the really subtle ones. This will take some effort. It takes a disciplined eye to catch and expose these inner parasites and bring the boogie monster out into the light.

“Resistance-boogie-monster-thoughts” can scream and torture you, frightening you with their negative messages. Sometimes they are so loud you want to cover your head for fear that someone else will hear. Then there are the seductive ones, the simmering ones that flow in a quiet whisper, like brook water, past our sensors and inner ear. Do any of these sound familiar?

Do you ever wonder why you cling to ideas that are inspired by rejection, sadness, and mistaken choices?There may be many good reasons for you to feel the way that you feel right now. Seek to understand them and then open the door to your true passion. You have so much to gain if you will seek to correct all “the hurt” and move beyond the resistance.

Resistance and doubts are frequently fueled from fear of success. So often you sit around waiting for someone to rescue you, notice you, want you, need you and you focus everywhere else to avoid the beginning of healing. You anticipate problems, give up at challenges, and lose faith in yourself when storms appear. You sit down on the side lines for time-out when you should be getting back up and deciding that you are the next all-star come back kid of the season.  Isn't it time to break out of your lobster trap of resistance and doubts and stop repelling the love, happiness, and success that are here right now? When you fall into the excuse, resist, and doubt yourself mode, you are using the laws of success in opposition to their intent of fulfilling your goals.

You are designed to be all that you desire to be.

If you want to become a vibrant, creative, responsible, powerful, human being, then stop transferring all of your power over to inner soundtracks that derail your forward motion. Refuse to allow people and circumstances to slowly strip away your natural ability to design new success results. Habit, resistance, and excuses, and addiction to failure sabotage more dreams that any outer circumstances and keep you bound to an unhappy past memory. They cause more misery than any epidemic or terrorist attack.  

Why allow your denial and low frequency feeling to camouflage truth another moment? Why permit your old record of excuses to reprogram your best-designed hopes and aspirations and rob you of a life of rich experiencing that you will love? 

Think of a moment when you achieved success using Spiritual Laws and had a great breakthrough whether in your personal life or in your career, in finances or in spiritual awareness. Can you see the possibility that you attracted success because you felt confident, because you had an inner conviction and your inner blueprint was strong?

*** You banished doubt and did not allow yourself to cave in to old patterns or let old excuses stop you.

*** You refused to let your past memory torpedo you in the present moment.

*** You removed your focus from a harvest of doubts and excuses and used your emotional fertilizers to achieve your goals.

*** You  stopped being seduced, and ultimately you chose a new thought pattern.

*** You  consciously declared success, and summoned the fulfillment of your dream.  

BRAVO!!! If you did it once in any area of your life, you can reframe your perception anytime. You can redesign anything when you have a strong enough desire to live in a "doubt/fear-free inner zone.” 

There comes a time when your decision, courage, commitment, and progress must no longer be halted by the line-up of excuses, justifications, doubts, and resistance. There comes a time when you need to test spiritual principles out and know if they are true, and to do this you must remain committed to your images and take the time to invest in designing new beliefs until you believe in yourself. 

Choose now: Do you want to surrender all excuses for accepting what you don't want? Or do you want to grow, expand, advance, and succeed? 

If you really deep listen and know what you want, and if you understand the laws of success and apply them faithfully, then you will have found the best antidote to the chronic return to resistance and abuse by doubts. It is to have a strong and vital image for your life, one that deeply ignites you into action, into joy, into feeling alive and wonderful, right here and now. Taking inner action prepares the way for the energy for opening doors to success where you didn’t even know they existed!

Learn to Image First Now!

Will you accept the challenge to change one area of your life where you're not making the progress you dream of? Start by identifying the top five doubts you use to avoid really changing yourself. Ask yourself how you use resistance to justify your current problems.

Are you ready to commit to aligning yourself with your new mental success blueprint instead of returning your old habits? If you are, then take a deep breath, stand up tall, and consciously claim this area of your life as a doubt and fear-free zone.

Activate your imagination. Image First and you will set a new pattern into motion for all future creative acts and results. Do this and you will prove to yourself that there is but one substance, consciousness or energy, and you are free to use it in creating your world and yourself.

Consciousness in action is imagination in action! Remember that your feelings can link you to a world where all things are possible once you know How to Unleash the Power Within and Attract Money and Discover the Power of Imagination.

Never close a door on a dream – your dreams are calling you!

BRAVING THE  FINANCIAL STORM

Melissa Zollo

Have you been feeling pressured, worried or overwhelmed by responsibilities and financial concerns? There's an old saying: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".

Here are seven suggestions that if accepted and applied will help you gain control of your focus and time, and open the door to living a more relaxed life:

1. Take a Deep Breathe! It Works!

Rather than listen and hold court on all of the catastrophic predictions being blasted out into the Universe, stop for a moment, and simply be with yourself. Deep Breathe and you will loosen the tension in your joints. Remind yourself several times a day of how good it feels to be calm. If you make time to relax and rest, you will slowly break free from routines that distract and upset you. Relaxing goes hand in hand with turning within for wisdom and guidance. Put on some music! As you deep breathe and relax your body on a daily basis, not only will you calm down, but you will discover inner resources that live within the depths of your being.

2. Stop Looking for a Red Pill!

Instead of looking for a quick financial fix, find ways to release frustrating energy. Re-connect to your self-worth not just your net worth. Now is the time to become creatively responsive - not aggressive. Develop patience, perception and persistence as you learn to walk through a storm with your head held high! Every time you learn something new from a challenging situation, congratulate yourself. Remember, it is helping you to grow into an empowered being.

3. Design a Fabulous Money Blueprint and Transform Your Fears!

Feast your eyes on your inner lighthouse (mental blueprint) until it motivates you to take action towards its realization. Tap into your courage moment by moment and your doubts will dissolve. Encourage yourself to move out of your comfort zone and keep going no matter how bleak the situation appears. Nothing can stop the fulfillment of your dream except an opposing belief.

4. Cultivate Play Dates. Laugh and Have Fun!

There is a line in the play "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" that goes like this. "You have to laugh, especially when things aren't so funny." Laughter is the best medicine. Did you know that children laugh around four hundred times a day? How often do you laugh? The point is that we all need to replenish ourselves. Do you value leisure time or is it a thing of the past in your lifestyle. Recreation helps us surrender all unnecessary pressure and demands that we place on ourselves and those we love. Fun is essential in the maintenance of health. Consider creating some fun time to express your talents and abilities in a hobby, sport or artistic endeavor.

5. Learn to Focus on the Good that You Are Receiving. Experience the Moment. Start Living Now!

Instead of multi-tasking or concentrating on problem after problem or talking about what you are losing, get in touch with the present moment and focus on everything good that you are receiving. Last year while having lunch in Mexico, I had a conversation with a woman that left its mark. She said, "You know Melissa, if you practiced a little every day, I bet you could become a great receiver of the Universe's gifts." That comment has helped me live more in the moment and now I enjoy spending time giving thanks and acknowledging small gifts - an unexpected phone call, hearing good news about a friend or family members recovery, looking up at the sky, smelling a rose, or receiving an unexpected invitation. Right this minute a bird arrived on my window sill and he is chirping and singing his song. I have to stop and laugh. You see it doesn't matter what the gift is- what matters is that you learn to recognize all gifts. Feast your mind on what makes you feel good and give thanks that you are growing into a receptive, empowered receiver of Life's generous gifts.

6. Reach Out to Others.

Take a moment and think of someone who has been there for you.

* How did it make you feel?

*Do you consider yourself wealthy in friendship?

* Are you rich in love, truth principles, humor, good ideas and or forgiveness?

Share your compassion with those who are panicking over the world economy and wondering how they are going to cope with change. Let them know you care. I did not say sympathize with them but rather inspire them to shift into a new perspective - regardless of the financial storm. You never want to go down to the level of anyone's problem and vibrate (identify) with it, rather seek to uplift others through creative ideas, kindness and humor. It works. A month ago I received the most beautiful bouquet of flowers with an unsigned note. It brought me joy for days! Be creative. Pick up the phone, plan a pot luck dinner, send a note, flowers, or even an e-card and thank someone for being in your life. The more you give from your heart the more you will receive. Try it. Reach out and let someone know that you care and you will light up the Universe.

7. Set Your Priorities Because You Are Powerful.

Life consists of making decisions and choices. Instead of getting hysterical or rushing with the crowd, stop, breathe, and turn within to your own wonderful imagination.  You must decide what is most important to you. Now may be a good time to set a new course, let go of what needs to be released, navigate through the current up's and downs of world events with hope, or simplify your life and grow spiritually. I know it's not easy to break or make a new habit. But it is possible to achieve it if you have a dream or a desire to expand and grow.

I want you to remind you that you were born to express riches in all aspects of your life. Isn't it time that you became aware of your birthright to live the abundant life? Take time to invest in your most important asset - you. Do this and in time you may discover that the Universe will mirror a wonderful gift right back at you.

If you find yourself in a rut and feeling hopeless in the midst of the financial melt down and you really want to lift yourself up by the bootstraps and get on the road to true prosperity, now is the time to discover the power of your imagination and learn why you are always attracting or repelling the results you seek. Use your imagination wisely and you will become a living magnet to the wealth and success that you seek.

Housed within you is the code to succeed.

Your feelings are worth a fortune. They can link you to a world where all things are possible once your know How to Unleash the Power Within and Attract Money

Finding Happiness

By Melissa Zollo

Imagine being able to handle a challenge, problem or overcome an obstacle in your life without being in a constant state of distress, panic, rage, or depression? Would you be happy then? And does being able to meet, deal and or attempt to overcome problems, conflicts and difficulties have anything to do with increasing your levels of happiness? 

Recently, I met a woman who had the luxury of someone else supporting her so that she could stay home, rest, renew, and recharge herself. Instead, she spent her time worrying about what might go wrong. She was unable to appreciate and enjoy the gift of time. Her thoughts actually reduced her sense of pleasure and fulfillment. Based on our conversation, she soon realized that her level of awareness repelled happiness. Therefore, the beautiful gift had not acted as a cause or stimulant to increase her sense of self-joy.  

I then encountered a man who had been helped through many hard times, unhappy relationships with family members, a financial crisis, and many difficult days with his employer and co-workers. One would think he'd be so happy and grateful, yet his behavior and conversations mirrored a dampened spirit rather than a happy, grateful spirit. He lived in a state of distraction and injury. He felt comfortable focusing on crisis. Again, he had received gifts but his lack of recognition of them coupled with his misuse of emotion and awareness left him unable to connect with his many positive experiences. 

I believe that many of us would deal with the unfinished business of our past and develop emotional resilience if we knew for certain that our body produces a chemistry that is a perfect match to our beliefs. Science is now documenting what healers and mystics have known for centuries: We are greater than any beliefs we have learned or acquired. 

Our awareness of being along with each cell of our body holds the power to heal us.

It is up to the individual to make time to recycle such life-denying emotions such as anger, jealousy, worry, guilt and hatred into life affirming feelings of happiness, joy, hopefulness and love. Regardless of our family tree, color of our skin, education, religion, or lifestyle, when conditions are right, many limiting and negative memories can be triggered and unwanted mental influences released, igniting us into actions we really do not want to take. Unless we understand that thought is creative and manifests itself, we will not be inspired to change our mental blueprints, thought patterns and emotional moods in the moment. 

Once we understand the language of our feelings without shame and decide to keep on growing in the direction of honesty, clarity and joy, we can eliminate many negative expressions from our lives; gain better health; experience peace of mind; find happiness and freedom from enslavement to false error patterns and habits.  

It seems that many of us take the long route around the mountain of self-acceptance and self-approval because we have been programmed to live in a toxic sea of mental and emotional poisons. For some, the cure for being miserable is as simple as resolving what is bothering them. Through understanding and acceptance of some previously hidden memory or fixed belief they are restored. They are free to deal, feel, and heal. Taking inner action opens the door to the present moment and the journey to joy and happiness begins. For others, focusing on memories of happiness simply increases their happiness levels.  

The best tip I can share and the most valuable thing you will ever do while on your quest for happiness is to take complete control over all of the suggestive elements in your life. What are you listening to? What are your conversations with others about? Is your self-talk success talk? Or is everything that makes up your personal environment acting as an excuse for you to perpetuate self-condemnation and pain?

The author John Dryden once said: "First we make our habits and then our habits make us."

Are you in the habit of feeling frustrated and unhappy, or calm and peaceful? Our level of happiness does not depend upon our possessions or anyone outside of ourselves. It depends entirely upon our inner blueprints, desires, decisions, focus and connection to our deeper self. Happiness is directly linked to the thoughts we choose to entertain and how we respond to people and situations we encounter, moment by moment.  

If each of us decides to cut short our visits into fearful, angry emotional moods, we will easily shift our attention out of conflict and into resolution. In time (and with practice) we will prolong our happiness responses, strengthen our identification with uplifting emotional moods, expand our mind and move into joy-producing energy fields. 

There is no one to change but ourselves. It is up to each of us to enhance our ability to live happily ever after in the here and now and influence the quality of our lives.

But if you want more from life …

If you want to be more ... 

If you want to have more ... 

If you want to succeed, feel happier and creatively accomplish more...

If you want to stop competing and struggling forever... you'll have to leave the comfort of your current thought patterns (habits). You'll have to get up off the couch. You will have to unlock your mind and create a new reality because your mental images and beliefs are the causes of what you are attracting and living now.

…."When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."~ *– Patanjali (c.1st to 3rd Century, BC*)

Change requires insight, discipline, desire, new thought patterns and an enthusiastic heart if it is to reach beyond what is merely intellectual and the same old results.
