Why have I written this book?

Dear reader, the aim of this book is to help you to get out of the darkness of poverty and despair and to start your travel towards love, serenity, wealth, happiness and wellbeing.

Let me tell you how everything has begun for me. It was during a time when I wanted very much to write a book for people in need. While searching for materials for this book, I asked a man over seventy, which was the easiest way to become happy. I was truly disappointed to hear his answer. The old man said that he did not know the way to happiness and added that he had lived all his life in need and despair, while waiting for happiness to knock on his door. Maybe you won’t believe me, but I never knew how to be happy. When the old man said this, we were both struggling to contain our tears. How painful it is to live a long life in pain and despair, to wait for a happy time and to be so disappointed. It was at that time that I realized how much need there was for this book among the entire humankind, how much need there was of a book to help people live another life, a rich life, a happy life.

In this book, I will tell you in greatest detail my secret or my formula, the name does not matter, for living exactly the kind of life you dream about.

Each of us has a unique mission in this world. My mission in the world is to help people realize how they could live the life they want, fulfil their dreams, change their life and come to inner peace.

This is a book for winners and for all those who want to attract into their lives love, health, wealth, well-being, happiness and who are asking themselves who they are in this world. This is a book for those who are seeking for opportunities and ways to have a genuinely rich life.

Yes! The goal of this book is to help you get where you want and you’ll find an explanation of why you are where you are today.

I know and I am confident that you will succeed, because I have succeeded and thousands of other people have succeeded before me. Exactly like you, I have started in the same point, where you may find yourself today.

The answer to such questions as Why am I so unlucky? or Why am I so unsuccessful? will be revealed to you, so that you achieve peace and prosperity.

The miracle that you were waiting for, has occurred. Here your new life starts! Starting today, you are the owner of your life!

In this book, I will tell you about real cases of my life and the life of other successful people, which will help you to understand how to succeed.

Any moment in time is a wonder and you should feel it. Starting today, miracles are coming into your life and some of them will happen right now, while you are reading this book.

Dear reader, I wish you LUCK and SUCCESS in your new life! I love you and you will also succeed based on the love for creating something wonderful and divine.

I, certainly, do not promise you that celestial manna or any other wonder will happen overnight, and all of a sudden you’ll wake up exceedingly rich. You will have to make some effort for it and to apply the principles, which I will tell you about in this book. If you truly want to change your life, you will certainly try your best to guide your own life towards the land called SUCCESS. I wish you GOOD LUCK!!!

Chapter I

How And Why Have You Got Here Today?

The fact that you are now reading this book shows that you are seeking for happiness, serenity, health and wealth.

I want to congratulate you from the very start, because you will get all these things through this book, which aims at your getting rich and which has some principles or Golden Rules, some truths, which were applied by the most successful people in the history of the world, some of them still living today.

Here you will find formulae, which were studied for over thirty years by successful people, who managed to reach financial independence. In this book you will find advice and confessions of the richest people of the planet.

Why do you think three percent of the world population own 96 percent of all the money in existence? Do you think this is accidental? Nothing is accidental. Even the fact that you are now reading this book is not accidental.

How come you are where you are now? The answer is very simple: you wanted to be here. Maybe you think this is tough, but it is the truth.

In this chapter I will explain to you, why are you where you are today and where do you start to get where you want to be. I want to tell you straight away that if what you want is a new world, a new life and new experiences, you need to have full trust in what this book will be telling you.

When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

Jack Kusto

We usually think of what we need and very rarely of what we have. This is the reason that we cannot move on.

About 90 percent of the world population do what they do not like to do in way of work and live all their life in need of money. The time has come for you to know the rules applied by the most successful people in the world.

The environment you are in and the people you communicate with speak clearly about your lifestyle and about your achievements.

In nine cases out of ten, during the first talk with a person, only words of dissatisfaction are used and the conversation is about how tough and difficult life is.

I would like to ask those who say that life is difficult, what they compare life with when they say life is difficult?

Life is our most wonderful and sacred gift and time has come for you to realize as well that your life may be exactly as you want it to be.

Your dissatisfaction made you live all you experiences and only gratitude will save you and you are the only one that may save you.

I will tell you about an experience of my wife, which may help you realize this concept better.

It was during the time, when I, like yourself, was the most dissatisfied and upset man in the entire world. That is how I believed then. If was the time in our life together with my wife, when we had not enough money even for the essentials for the children. There were times when we had no money even for bread.

During one of our discussions, my wife told me:

Ion, today I was feeling as the poorest and most needy woman in the world and, when getting out of the store, I saw a boy in a wheelchair. I realized the boy was disabled and instinctively I reached for my purse to give him 5 Euros out of the last ten I had … There were happy tears in the boy’s eyes. He was trying to hold the money but could not control his hands because of his disease. I started to cry myself and placed the money firmly in the boy’s hand. The boy started to say Thank you! but was so overcome by his weakness that he could not do it…But he was trying so hard that his wheelchair was shaking together with him, tears pouring down his face. That was when I also started to cry in earnest, as I realized how rich and how happy I still was. I asked for God’s forgiveness and started to thank Him fervently for all the numerous blessings that I had.

From that day on, our life has started to change. We realized how ungrateful and how sorrowful we had been. We started a new way of life and changed our thinking, trying to see more of the miracles around us. We realized how many things we had to be grateful for and how happy we were just for being free to do what we wanted.

Now, I will ask you to take a piece of paper and a pencil and to list on it all the things you are grateful for, all the blessings that you have right now. This is the first step towards the point where you want to get, be it love, health, money or wealth.

List on paper all the good things in your life and stick it where you can see it upon waking up every morning or going to bed in the evening. I keep this things to be grateful for list on the door of my wardrobe. In the morning when I select what to put on, I recall to give thanks for what I have. I do it again at night when going to bed. It may look like a very small thing, but its influence on our life is truly extraordinary.

Principle 1 – Be grateful for everything that the Universe has created for you and thank God for everything that you have

This is where you need to start. This is one of the things, which all the successful people do. This is what the people, who have made the greatest achievements in their personal and professional life, do.

Everything we have today is the result of our past choices

"Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."

William Jennings Bryan

If you have no money today, if you are upset and have health related problems, if you are lonely and have nothing of what we call harmony, this is just because these were the things that you were focusing your thoughts on in the past. We all know the saying "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Do you thing this is accidental? Well, nothing is accidental in this Universe.

It is true that the rich get richer, because their thoughts are concentrated on plenty, nice life, pleasant emotions and they attract all these things more and more. The Law of Attraction is the most powerful law in the Universe and it works perfectly for anyone. We will talk about it in detail in Chapter VI.

That is why the people who live in need experience more and more need in their life. We see perfect examples of this everywhere when we look around and we hear numerous cases to confirm this.

People, who talk and think all the time about diseases and complain frequently of all types of pain, have health problems.

When you think all the time about what you still need and what is lacking in your life, you do nothing but attract in your life even more need. Each I have no… thought brings even more I have no-s in your life, each I cannot brings in your life even more helplessness and even more lack of power.

Today you have no success and are upset because in the past you have concentrated mostly on such things. Those who live in poverty are the ones that think all the time how to get out of poverty. Do you think the experiences that you have every day are accidental? You provoked them yourself; irrespective whether you did it consciously or unconsciously. You have chosen these experiences. We also attract people, who are similar to us, and if those who are close to you are in the same situation, it is not surprising that they think like you do. Your way of thinking holds you where you are today. Your thoughts make certain people and certain circumstances come into your life. They are exactly the people and the circumstances, which you think about or which you concentrate upon in your mind, consciously or unconsciously.

We are the ones that choose the world in which we live.

We are not talking here about the attempt to totally control thoughts. This can make you lose your mind. We are talking that we need to start with replacing old thoughts with new ones. When you start doing this, even this will seem difficult
