If you want to help somebody to be a better person, first of all become such a person. This is the first and the most important step: to grow. To grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Second step - interact with as many as possible people in the world. In this way you spread your life level and help other people grow by the most effective way - personal example. If someone see that you can do something, it is easier to believe that s/he can do it too. Moreover, you could be asked for advice in case of need. And s/he can see final results.

There is little difference to grow or to help people grow. The difference is that you can much more influence on your personal growth. Nobody can do it for yourself better than you. You are the master. And we will follow you.

Here is a digest of ideas about how to raise your consciousness.

Levels of Consciousness - Steve Pavlina’s description of levels of consciousness using David R. Hawkins terminology, taken from his book “Power vs. Force”.

The fundamentals of financial competence are consisted in mastering one and the only rule:

It is necessary to understand the difference between assets and liabilities, and acquire assets.

According to Robert Kiyosaki, following this rule can help everybody become rich and relieve from financial difficulties.

This rule is the first and the only one. Perhaps it seems absurdly simple but a lot of people don’t understand how important it is. Many people have financial hardships just because they do not understand the difference between assets and liabilities.

Rich people acquire assets. Poor people and middle class buy liabilities and see them as assets.

What are assets and liabilities and what is the difference between them?

Asset is what yields money.

Liability is what takes money from you.

These are the fundamentals of financial competence - the basis of your future financial success. If you have known it, sorry. Otherwise, let me congratulate you on the fact that you have just acquired the fundamentals of funancial competence. However, the knowledge is death until you come it into you consciousness and start doing something. What assets you have and what you can create or acquire?

It is difficult to find a person who does not like to be on top of the world. There is no universal guideline how to become happy, but what obvious is that we could be in seventh heaven or somewhere nearby, if there were no worries in our life. Just imagine, if everything is going smoothly, isn’t it a bliss? How to get rid of anything, what you are worried about, what you dislike or even loathe? Of course, we can say to ourselves that everything is just fine, and look at the world through rose-tinted spectacles. But what could actually help us to be more content with our life?

If you do not like something, you have two ways: accept your state or change it. Yes, there is also the third alternative - to eliminate yourself - but it could not make anyone be on cloud nine after that. Acceptance is the starting point. Even if you want to change your situation, first of all you have to accept it, just because it is so right now. If you want to come to city X and have a map of outskirts, but do not know where you are right now, the map does not help you too much, no matter how detailed the map is.

As you fully understand your situation from your point of view, look at it from different perspectives. How do you think other people would regard this situation? How could your pet possibly think your problem? What about a bird? A stream? A mountain? It could be difficult at first to transform your mind in this way, but I bet it will be both fruitful and amazing experience. If you do not like to change your shape, look at the situation from another time perspective. How would you threat a situation if you were 5 years younger? Will it be a real problem tomorrow? In a week? In a decade? All these questions will give you a stronger understanding of what really takes place. You can get even more information about this technique from Steve Pavlina podcast “Raising Awareness Through Multiple Perspectives“.

After your current state observing, ask yourself, “could I do something in order to change the situation?”. If answer is no, you are a lucky one: all you have to do starting from now is to live. You could not change the situation and you want to live to the full, so just go ahead! Since then anxiety, complaints, resistance are all in vain. But if you strongly believe that you can change this situation, it is time to find out what could be better in it. Describe to yourself your ideal picture. What will be your life if everything is not just OK, but incredibly perfect? You do not need just to keep up with the Joneses, create the picture which is pure ecstasy for you! And if you are expecting really important and significant life changes, carry on and write down your ideal picture. You will want to refer to these notes on the way.

So now you are well-informed about your current state and desired destination. Do you need a map? Yes, actually it could be helpful, but it is not so important. If you have succeeded with the three steps provided you will do the right deeds on a whim, just as it is your second nature. Universe will give you the map, your little responsibility to make a very next step from the place where you are now to the direction where you want to be. And maybe this step will be to reread this article.
