 Wealthy people, and I mean people who are truly wealthy in all areas, don't allow others to determine the quality of their lives. They never allow circumstances or others to determine how much income they earn or their level of harmony with regard to their spiritual life, their health, their relationships--anything.
To have more you must be more. If your intention is big enough, then you must grow to meet the size of that idea. Similarly, if you have an idea that doesn't cause you to grow, it isn't the right idea. In other words, the right intention and the right desire have to make you stretch. Growing is an inside job. Once you begin to go inside--involution--and grow, your results on the outside--evolution--must happen. Going within leads you to take different actions; your goal begins to take form and ultimately becomes a result in your life. When you achieve the desired result, what happens? "What's next?" happens, doesn't it? The basic principle of life, of spirit, is fuller expression and expansion. Your results become the springboard for fuller expression, which then brings grander, more exciting ideas and goals into view. Are you with me? Once you get that next idea or desire--the intention--you again have to grow to meet the size of that new idea, so involution kicks in all over again. New actions begin to happen and your new bigger idea starts coming into form. You get new results, and so on. This is really simple, but its how the creative process works: inside out, involution always preceding evolution. Think back on any goal you've achieved, and you'll see that this cycle occurred. You had an idea, a desire, and you had to grow to reach it. Perhaps it was when you got your first car loan or first home mortgage. Now, if that payment was a stretch for you, you had to expand your vision of yourself, didn't you? You had to see yourself being able to reach for more than you had been accessing. You had to realign your possibilities to meet the size of the idea. What you need isn't more money but more growth. We all do. Money is nothing more than a measuring stick of our growth.

Catch my exclusive interview with Hulk Hogan!
Thanks for sharing with us the intimate side of such a strong and powerful man. It is always encouraging to know such men are still very human.
Being a parent myself and while these are indeed troubled times with very uncertain outcomes, it is critical for us all to know; we have the power to change what it is we don't like. Your books are very thorough and yet, seeing it live makes a huge difference in "making it real".
To hear such deep emotions, of hardships overcome, and steadfast faith empowering those around him through love, joy and pride [especially in his son's circumstances] is an awesome tribute to your long list of accomplishments. It is so satisfying to see how your good works are providing positive changes on both sides.
I can see that it is from the depths of your own soul that this was indeed an important interview [a must see], and I thank you so very much for sharing it with us, as one more contribution toward excellence.

As I sat and listened to Terry talk about his life and the more recent trials that have been dealt to him and his family, I couldn't help but think about my own life.
As I listened to Terry talk about how grateful he was for things that most would consider being grounds for immense ungratefulness, I couldn't help but think about my life.
As I sat and listened to the positive tone in Terry's voice and noticed the incredible sense of calmness that exuded from him, I couldn't help but think about my own life.
Hmmmmmm, I haven't exactly been walking the warrior path. I sounded an awful lot like "his other half".
I've allowed things to get to me, and I've been incredibly inpatient and intolerant lately. I've even been short-tempered.
I've even had the audacity to blame my swings on perimenopause, even though I haven't been diagnosed.
You were right, James. The last 15 minutes were magical!
Now is the time!
Shortly after watching the video, I made some decisions.
I made a conscious decision to stop wasting my valuable energy complaining. If I don’t like, it’s probably because I willed that event to occur.
I made a conscious decision to get off my butt and take action in losing the weight that I gained when I quit smoking 8 1/2 months ago. I’m supposed to be fabulously fine at 40; not 40 and fat.
I made a conscious decision to be a better person today and to stop fretting over yesterday and stop stressing over tomorrow. What’s done is done, and what’s yet to come is uncertain.
Thank you, James, for all that you do.
I am grateful for many things and one of them is having found you.
Your student,
Adonya, Tulsa OK
P.S. Would love to see you come back home and do a seminar here. :)
Thank you for this inspiring discussion with another human. It's important for those of us who are not famous, to see that you all are also humans struggling to make your way through the situations dealt by life. Since reading your books, I am on track to wealth, and it is also a reminder that money does not make life easy! This is not the time to ease back!
Thank you, and Terry for your honesty.
Nancy
