A wealthy person anticipates riches. Without anticipation you swim in a sea of uncertainty. With it, you participate in making your creative life a wealthy life.

A few days ago I decided to replace a person working for us who was chronically late.

Well, its done. Yesterday I hired someone who fulfills all the requirements of the job. And Im thrilled about the change. Its so gratifying to have someone who is eager and happy to learn and to help.

And guess what else I found. This person anticipates what needs to get done. What a great gift to be around someone who thinks ahead and does things without asking. That is key.

Anticipation and Participation go hand in hand. A Doer actively participates in every aspect of life. And the secret to full participation is to anticipate each new task by allowing it to appear in your mind.

This doesnt mean that you dont relax. In fact, the opposite is true. People in touch with the pulse of life have to be relaxed. Anticipation Is relaxing. Because you never have to look back and worry. Youve silenced the worry-monger. You are marching towards your goal by anticipating each moment.

Always keep your goal in mind. This is key. The target of anticipation is your goal.

You have become an efficiency machine. Because youre not wasting precious energy by procrastinating. Your mind, cleared of clutter, becomes a vessel for creative thinking. You are refreshed and rejuvenated, and youre always looking forward, never back. You refuse to be on auto-pilot.

I dont want to be on auto-anything. Those auto-pilot blinders cause the death of creativity. Beware and declare. Otherwise that sneaky auto-pilot might creep into your thoughts again. After all, you can get addicted to being a slave to the grave that you dig for yourself.

Theres no other way to live a life of wealth than to embrace whats around the corner. By anticipating whats needed. And participating to get the job done.

You have now conquered the fear that can whisper in your ear.

Anticipation leads to Creation and turns into Wealth. Just remember that order. Youre on your way to a life of prosperity and riches.

Now that Ive gotten your attention, shift your gears and read something totally radical, totally out-of-the-box. Ive got that something for you. And I bet youll be knocked off your feet as soon as you start inhaling these powerful words.
