Abundance in the Time of the Credit Crunch
We are experiencing a credit crunch. Or at least, many people are buying into that reality. But I don’t.
Am I rich? My family love to think so, and because they do, they help me to create abundance by thinking of my abundance all the time. And I am not going to stop them. There will come a day, soon, when all their thoughts about my abundance and my own creation of abundance will result in physical abundance. I will thank them for their share in the process, but I will not stop their thoughts at the moment - let them work with me. So how does the credit crunch affect me?
I look at it with awe and wonder. I see the perfection of the Universe that we live in and I get a greater understanding of how things fit together.
I recently learned about Elliott waves. I can only describe these Elliott waves as the pulse of the Universe. Imagine a wave zig-zagging its way upwards. It moves up ten paces, then recedes seven paces, then moves up ten paces, then recede six paces, and so on. When you are riding the wave without realising it, you feel the exhilaration of moving up, and the fear of moving down.
Most of the time when you move up, the exhilaration is dampened by the expectation of moving down again. When you move down, your expectations are confirmed, and you desperately hope that there will be another move upwards. When the upward move comes again, your major emotion is a relief that the fear can now go, rather than gratitude and awe at moving up again.
Riding the wave is in many ways worse than riding a rollercoaster, because at least with a rollercoaster you know that it will end at some stage, and you will feel solid earth under your feet again. You know that when you go down upside down, you will not fall on your face, because you are strapped in safely. And at some point you will go down and stay down and leave the rollercoaster with wobbly legs. You know (fingers crossed) that the rollercoaster is safe, otherwise the owner would not have sold the tickets. And you know that you get onto the rollercoaster because you chose to do so and you know that the risk is minimal.
However, riding the wave of the Universe is not nearly so “safe”. You do not buy a ticket, because by the time you realise that you are part of the wave, it is too late and you are born into this existence.
When you focus entirely on riding the wave, you love the bits where you go up, because it feels good to know that you can do that. The waves that take you down are really scary. When you go down, you get that sinking feeling in your stomach and you have nothing to hold onto. You do not know where the wave will stop, and therefore you cannot prepare for the stop. Will you fall flat on your face? No, never. The reason for this is that the wave always turns and moves up again. You can continue to ride the wave and simply stay in until you hit the next wave up, which is what most people do. They talk about the credit crunch with apprehension in their voices. They prepare for the fall and meanwhile cling to the wave as if it is the only real thing in the world. And because they prepare for the fall, that is what they get - that is how the Law of Attraction works.
When you become aware of the wave that you ride, things change. Suddenly you can distance yourself from riding the wave while doing it - like driving a car on a busy road while having a conversation with a child about bullies at school. If someone subsequently asks you why you slowed down at a particular point and changed lanes, you will probably not remember that you had to slow down to wait for oncoming traffic and then change lanes to get past another slow vehicle. But you will recall everything about the conversation with the child, even when driving a car requires much more attention and skill than talking to a child.
When you become aware that the wave is there, you stop riding the wave blindly. You start to ride the wave with intention.
You start to notice the waves that go up, and you know that they will turn down at some point, and you prepare for the downturns with anticipation rather than fear. You start to notice the waves that go down, and you know that they will at some stage turn, and that is a good place to tap into the energy of the rising wave.
At the moment we are at the bottom of one of these Elliott waves - the stock market, the banks and the economic downturn confirms this.
People react to this in two ways. The majority of people live in fear and trepidation and are preparing to lose money, jobs, homes, self-esteem, hope, and so on. Whatever happens next will confirm their expectations. They will walk away with nothing and not even notice when the wave turns up again, because they will still be clinging to the wave in fear. Nothing will change their views.
Then there is a minority of people that have become aware of the waves, and that are aware that we are at the bottom of a wave now. They are preparing to focus on the energy of the upturn and they are putting everything in their lives in place so that they can focus 100% when the upturn starts. For these people it does not matter if the upturn is a small wave, because they will understand a small wave is part of a much bigger wave. Their mindset rather than the size of the wave will determine their fortunes. They are the “lucky” ones - the ones that open a business or win the lottery during a recession and seem to turn everything they touch into gold. I have decided long ago to be part of this group, and I am now reaping the benefits, with loads of opportunities coming my way.
As for everyone around me, my question is: what will I do during a recession? The difference is that I need to list the opportunities that suddenly abound, and prioritise them. Then I need to focus on one after the other, and live my destiny. These opportunities have come for me at the end of a cycle, which is also the beginning of a much larger cycle, and I love it.
Do I take opportunities away from others?
A man called Foster Hibbard tells the tale of the two men that went down to the ocean, one with a teaspoon, the other with a bucket. Each of them took away the amount of water he chose to take away. The ocean doesn’t care how much water they take away, because there is plenty wanter. I chose to go down to the ocean with a tanker truck - or maybe a fleet, to get my share. Will there be some water left for you in the ocean? Of course. That is called abundance, and it is infinite. The limits that exist, are in our minds because we do not understand what infinity means.
How will you benefit from the credit crunch?

Save on Gas With Your SUV and Truck
The economy being in such a downward spiral all of us our feeling the pinch at the pumps when it comes to filling up our larger vehicles. Many people trade the larger vehicle for a smaller one in order to save on the cost of gas but that does not always work for some of us as we need the truck or SUV for our jobs. When you find that trading your truck for a smaller vehicle is not an option then you need to check some ways that you can get better gas mileage.
You will get much better gas mileage if you do regular maintenance on your vehicle. You should make sure that you are doing a tune up on a regular basis. The next important step is to check your owner’s manual and find out the proper amount of air that you should do for your tires. The proper amount of inflation for your tires will prevent a drag which reduces fuel economy. Finally when it comes to optimum gas mileage make sure that your truck has proper wheel alignment. These are just a few of the easier things that you can do that will help you get better gas mileage for your larger vehicle.
When you are using a larger truck make sure that you have a properly installed bed cover. The right bed cover helps with the aerodynamics as the air rushes over the cover and off the back of the truck instead of into the bed. When this happens the air is pushing on the tailgate causing a drag which in turn makes you use more gas. When you are driving your vehicle try to keep it at a steady even pace the constant acceleration and breaking lowers your gas mileage. If you have a cruise control on your vehicle it is very wise to use it on highways this really saves you on your gas. You should watch the speed because a higher speed burns more gas while a slower one helps you to economize. Keep in mind too that you should use a good brand of gas. A good brand of gas will help keep the system clean but please do not buy premium if the manufacturer recommends regular.
You can do some real simple things when you are in a line of traffic and you know that you will be setting for a while like turn off the ignition. Beyond popular belief it does not cost you more in gas by shutting down and starting up again as it does to keep the motor running. When you are using your truck and plan on going to a bank or restaurant places with a drive thru window park and walk inside. You save more gas than setting in a long line of traffic waiting your turn at the window by going inside. Some other simple things that help are combining trips get it all with one trip but do not haul things that you really don’t need. Try some of these techniques and you will see an improvement on the amount of gas you use for your vehicle.
