Week 10 had a wrench thrown at us as there was no webinar! The break was nice but it also meant being left to my own devices when it came to staying on track. A challenge to be sure as I’ve been in catch up mode. But I’ve accepted the personal responsibility of improving a little bit each day when it comes to doing the little things that have led to the success of so many who have gone through the Master Keys. So in the words of Og in Scroll III

Abundance is all around us was a big takeaway for me from the readings. It can be tough to remember with all the noise coming from every direction on a daily basis that this universal law is always at work for our benefit. As Haanel points out:
That there is an abundance for everyone is evident, but that many fail to participate in this abundance is also evident.
Charles Haanel, The Master Key System, Part 10.1
In short it comes down to taking the action of doing the work necessary to acquire the abundance that is waiting. So often it is easier to let feelings and emotions govern our actions instead. When failure occurs or things don’t go the preferred way it’s easier to justify with excuses. That’s what makes this course, this journey so different because it forces you to constantly make a choice. Stick with the old mindset, the old blueprint or do the hard work needed to become an observer, a self-directed thinker, by taking the road less traveled.
Nothing comes easy, including the manifestation of abundance and true wealth. It requires making the choice to live by intention, to be of service to others by giving without expectation. In other words by choosing to apply the law of growth on a daily basis and striving to achieve a definite major purpose.
Where there is growth, there must be life; where there is life there must be harmony, so that everything that has life is constantly attracting to itself the conditions and the supply which is necessary for its most complete expression.
Charles Haanel, The Master Key System, Part 10.18
Harmony was another big takeaway. It’s why thoughts that are creative and positive instead of destructive and negative are so important. For it all starts within! And actions in the world without need to match, which is why being of service to myself and others and giving without expectation is so important. The connections between the readings and repetitive actions have definitely started to become clearer as the harmony between my world within and my world without has increased.
