Ask and you Shall RECEIVE

There is an old say that goes like this:

Ask and you shall receive. Ask not and You Shall Receive Not

The old saying doesn't quite go like that but I do know you stand a much better chance of getting what you want out of life if you ask for what you want. That being said, I am specifically asking prosperous, generous people to donate to me in order that I can continue to share my writings, free of charge, with people regardless of their financial status.

I've been sharing 'life insights' with people, from all walks of life, through my blog writings since 1998.  While I make a little money from the sale of my books and self-help programs, it is donations that have sustained my blog writings for over twenty years.

The reason I am specifically asking for prosperous, generous people to donate to me is because they have an 'abundance mentally' and know that what they give to others always comes back to them multiplied.

I am asking for you to support my entertaining  and thought provoking writings with a donation in the amount of your own choosing.

Donations in support of my writings are very much appreciated by me and put to good use in inspiring and empowering others.

Things I 'WILL NOT' do for Money...... (I will not manipulate you out of money)..

.

Charities use a variety of  'hard luck' stories to tug at your heart strings as a way to manipulate you into donating money to their cause. I refuse to do that. Yes, I need money too but I refuse to manipulate you out of it by telling you a 'hard luck story or by making you feel sorry for me.  

I know having a 'dramatic hard luck story' causes people to donate money like crazy. I  do want your donations but no matter how desperate I might get for money, I will never desperately ask you for money.  

I don't want you to donate money in support of my 'writing' up on the Inspired Living Blog because I, somehow, emotionally manipulate money out of you. Instead, I want your donations in exchange for the genuine 'inspirational' value you received from my writings.  




If I can't make you feel good, if I cannot inspire you enough to donate money in support of my inspired writing,  then I don't want your money at all. Why?  Because I don't believe in taking money from people who donate money to me because they feel sorry for my financial plight or because they feel they should donate to me out of some twisted sense of guilt, duty or obligation. I want people donating money to me because they love my writings and love the way I inspire and encourage people, world-wide, free of charge,  with my writings.

If you are a first time visitor,  read some of my inspiring articles  posted on this blog and if you find genuine value in what I share with you in my writings. If my writing inspire and encourage you, then please come back and leave a donation in support of the work I do on this blog.  - Frederick Zappone

Living a VICTORIOUS Life....

.
My first child, a son, died unexpectedly when he was 18 months old. My daughter died due to medical negligence and left four little girls behind, age 8 to 1 1/2 years old. I have been divorced twice, bankrupt twice. My life was a tragedy and from the pain and grief of my tragic life, I found my life purpose. Inspiring others to rise above adversity, like I have, so they can experience themselves as the MAGNIFICENT, POWERFUL, LOVABLE to the core human beings they truly are. I do that through this blog. This is my full-time job and I have been doing this job for 5 years without a paycheck. Why five years without a paycheck? Because I believe the good I do on this blog will eventually be rewarded from sources unexpected, ueunexpectedly.  You see I have faith in more rather than less. As a result, I know if I keep giving people my very best, if I keep inspiring people above all the rest, my good works will be rewarded.

Insights About LIFE (see below)  - Bookmark Now.

Hello, my name is Frederick Zappone, author of the INSPIRED LIVING BLOG. There are now over 4060 articles, videos and pictures of inspiration and encouragement posted on this site. Your donations make it possible for me to continue to write original articles of inspiration and encouragement that benefit people  world-wide. These articles are made available to people free of charge regardless of their economic status.

INTENTIONS:   Everything you want out of life comes from your intentions. Clear intentions produces clear results. How much money do you want? What are the specific qualities you are looking for in a partner? Intentions come true when they are specific.  For myself, I don't have to take any action in particular for good things to happen in my life, I just have to INTEND for them to happen and from my intentions comes spontaneously thoughts and actions that make my intentions come true.

RESULTS: What I think and feel in my inner world always come true in my outer world.  Abundance or scarcity of anything in my life (money, love, excellent health, harmonious relationships) is always a result of what I think and feel on the inside of me. There are no exceptions to the law of thought and feelings.

DISCOURAGEMENT:  Discouragement means you are thinking thoughts and taking actions that don't work for you.  Discouragement is an ALERT SIGNAL that you are going against your personal values, being untrue to yourself. Discouragment is a sign that you are seeking other people's approval of you rather than self approval. Discouragement is a sign that your FAITH is misplaced, It indicates your have faith in less rather than more. As a result, you see life rewarding you with less, while rewarding other people with more. 

CREATING YOUR LIFE: Everything in life is created twice, first mentally, then physically. There are no exceptions to this law. What you see in your visible world is a result of the thoughts you think in your inner world. Don't like when you see in your outer world, change the thoughts you think in your inner world.

OBSTACLES: The 'wind and water' never resist obstacles, they go up, over, under or around them. When an obstacle or roadblock is between you and what you want, become like the 'wind and water' and flow up, over, around or under what is between you and what you want. It works for me.

DREAMS: Two very different attitudes about making your dreams come true. Attitude #1 - Every time your dream hits an obstacle, you can reduce the size of your dream and eventually your dream will become so small, it will disappear from your mind and never come true at all.   Attitude #2 - Every time your dream hits an obstacle, you can increase the size of your dream. You can make it larger and larger until it is so large that nothing or no one in the universe can stop your dream from coming true. That's what Bill Gates did, that's what Steve Jobs did.  If it worked for them, it can work for you too.  


FEELINGS: Feeling bad only lasts a long time when I try to figure out why I feel bad.  Experience has taught me that the quickest way to STOP feeling bad is to start making other people feel good. In the process of making other people feel good, I end up feeling good too.

WORRY: Worry is FEAR thought and pushes away from us what we want, that's why I rarely give those kinds of thoughts a second thought.  

RESISTANCE: No one likes feeling bad. However disliking, resisting, arguing or wrestling with your bad feelings will only prolong those feelings and give those bad feelings more power over you. I use bad feelings as an ALERT SIGNAL to switch focus to thoughts or actions that make me feel good.
 

You are being MANIPULATED out of your money and Don't Know it.

.
In 99% of the cases, the donations you make to a cause are not 'free will' donations, they are manipulated out of you by someone who understands the moment they can make you feel like the victim feels or can make you feel like you could be that kind of victim someday, you will donate money to their cause.  In other words, they use your emotions against you without you being aware of it. They use your emotions to separate you from your money.  This is called 'emotional manipulation'

This practice of emotionally manipulating money out of you is not uncommon. Many people who want your money, whether it is for a 'cause' or to get you to buy a retail product, will use your emotions without your permission to get you to do what they want you to do because they want you to do it, which is spending money on their cause, product or service.  

Making emotional financial decisions is the #1 reason why people have financial problems. Look at your life and you will see that if you didn't spend money emotionally, you would be financially prosperous today. 


I APOLOGIZE FOR ASKING FOR DONATIONS

I apologize for asking for donations because I am forbidden to ask for them.  How I know that to be true is that is every time I ask for them, I get this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I get this guilt feeling that I am violating a family rule, a rule that says when I ask for a donation I am asking for charity and in my family receiving charity was a big no, no.  

My family was very prideful and would not allow other people to contribute to their welfare in any way. This was something I didn't understand back then and I don't understand to this day. However, when I ask for donations, I am not asking for charity, I am asking you to exchange a little bit of your energy with me.  You see money represent 'energy' to me.  I spend energy writing these articles. You spend energy making the money you do and when you donate money to me because you have found 'genuine value' in my writing, we have exchanged a little bit of energy with one another.  

If you want to donate to me because you found that the information I just shared with you has genuine value for you, donate now.  Suggested donation $5.00,  $10.00, $25.00 or $50.00
