African American women, like all women in America, are exposed to a heaping daily dose of negativity. All you need to do is turn on the T.V. in the morning and watch the news and the negative mental program starts there! As a black woman in network marketing, I am determined to "tune out" the negative stuff, or at least diminish it, by filling my mind, daily, with positive thoughts which keep me feeling great about myself and the world we live in. This daily dose of "good stuff" usually comes from prayer and mediation and also my commitment to listen to CDs or MP3 downloads that inspire and encourage me to a higher level.

One of the most important messages your mind needs to recieve as you build your direct sales wealth is this, " YOU DESERVE TO BE PROSPEROUS"!! Many black women didn't grow up in a home with parents that "preached" prosperity. Many of us were told that money was not good, or the root of all evil. Many of us were inadvertently given negative or non supportive messages by our well wishing parents or grandparents. Not because they didn't love us, but in many cases, because the messages or information they gave us was all that they knew.

Well, I have found that by listening to Randy Gage's CD series called "Prosperity: How To Apply Spiritual Laws To Create Health, Wealth and Abundance" , I am more positive, determined and driven to succeed and prosper!

One of the main purposes of MLM Blackwoman is to provide you with first hand recommendations of great books and CDs that can change your life and business for the better

Your Mental Diet
By Randy Gage
 
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
- Henry David Thoreau

You are surrounded by a data-sphere of information that promotes negativity, limitation, and lack consciousness. It pummels your senses from all directions. It comes from your TV, radio, the Internet, your friends, family, and the people you work with. Most people are so saturated by lack programming that they can't even fathom a life of anything but struggle and complaint. What you read, what you listen to, and the people you talk with, have a huge effect on the person you are and the thoughts you have. TV, radio, and the newspaper are all channels of information that create and feed the mass reality of doom and gloom.

This doom and gloom is perpetuated by your government who constantly appeal to the poverty mentality of the masses in order to get re-elected. There is a definite Robin Hood mentality when it comes to taxation that is extremely poverty biased. It is perpetuated by the different forms of media whose ultimate goal is to win your viewership. They pander to your fears and play upon your emotions.

In America, the microcosm for the mass culture can always be found in the entertainment industry. Watch the movies, study the Nielson ratings and check out the New York Times bestseller list. When is the last time you saw a billionaire or multi-millionaire portrayed in a positive light in the media? Think of the coverage provided on Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Ross Perot, Howard Hughes, or Ted Turner, on down to the millionaire on "Gilligan's Island."

I actually read a serious Op-Ed piece by Ralph Nader - chastising Bill Gates and other billionaires for not redistributing their money to the poor people of the world! I used to think Nader was a good guy. Obviously, he has lost his mind. And Gates, like a moron, actually released a statement defending himself. Like the fact that he doesn't give away all the money he worked so hard to earn, needs to be defended.

You must recognize that this data-sphere is continually programming you 24/7, and that almost 95% of it is lack and limitation programming. And it's not just the media. It's also your family and friends. And your church and government.

Have you ever heard or used the term "filthy rich?" Have you stopped to consider what it means? As if, somehow, it is dirty to be rich. Heard the expression, "poor as a church mouse?" Heard someone called a "rich bitch?" What kind of programming do you think you're getting on a subconscious level when you hear things like that?

So what do you do?

Human beings have huge creative potential that is limited by continual inner chatter and the clutter of information fed to you by the data-sphere. It's easy to focus on things that do not make us happy, do not make us healthy, and do not make us wealthy. What you need to do in order to be successful is to channel that time which you now spend on frivolous activities, into productive activities that bring prosperous results.

If you want to reach the highest levels of success-you have to zealously guard your consciousness as I do. You must control your own programming, and reject the poisonous stuff most people are trying to feed you.

In order to focus on prosperity, it is imperative that you spend more time on your own personal growth. Each morning and each evening before you go to bed, spend time on self-development. Remember you are the foundation from which all your dreams are made reality. Your physical health is but one half of the whole. Your mental health is the other.
