Joe Vitale Says Attract Money Now
A Look at Mr. Fire's Five Steps to Spiritually Draw Money to You
Joe Vitale, nicknamed "Mr. Fire," was made famous by the recent hit movie The Secret. A bestselling author of several books, including The Attractor Factor, Joe Vitale says you can attract money spiritually - starting right now.
Here are the five steps Joe Vitale recommends, as presented in "Spirit Money: Five Steps to Attract Money When You Have None," a section of his compilaton book The E-Code: 33 Internet Superstars Reveal 43 Ways to Make Money Online Almost Instantly - Using Only E-mail.
1. Get the Lesson
Vitale says there's a reason why you are in the situation you're presently in. The sooner you truly understand and fully process that reason, the sooner you will be able to move your life forward. "If you are broke right now, ask yourself what the lesson in being broke is for you," he writes. "Don't settle on flip answers...And don't blame others." Instead, confront the question honestly and comprehensively.
2. Obey the Impulse
Do you feel an inner tug or nudge of some kind? Vitale explains that, deep down, most people realize they are being pulled in a direction. They need to meditate on that and then act. He says that when you intelligently act on this nudge, it's an example of "inspired action."
3. Demand Resolution
Vitale cites Jesus as an example of spiritual determination. "When Jesus healed the sick," Vitale explains, "[Jesus] didn't say, 'I hope you get better.' Instead, he said, 'Rise and walk.'" That's the kind of resolve that people must have today.
It is debatable that the real lesson of Jesus' miracles is a call to greater self-determination. Jesus' purpose was much greater than that. But Vitale nevertheless is correct that one must "exert [his or her] power" to truly see results.
4. Give Thanks
Vitale says it's better to contemplate your life's situation, relax, and be thankful for it -- than it is to rebel against it. The latter is wasted energy and counter-productive. The former is a constructive way in which we can receive the "great gift" intended for us in our present condition.
5. Expect Miracles
Again, Vitale alludes to faith and Jesus. He refers to the "mustard seed" quote for which Jesus is so famous, and points out that a mustard seed has no identity problems. "A mustard seed has no doubt," writes Vitale. "It is clear about what it is. Start being a mustard seed."
Joe Vitale's five-step plan for attracting money will probably be too mystical and "New Age" like for some, but it would be wrong to dismiss it completely. There is much merit to it, even from a Christian perspective. It was, after all, Jesus who said: "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."
