What's Your Fortune Quotient?

Let's measure your Fortune Quotient today, okay?

Reverend Noel McInnis said, "Though I don't always get what I pray for, I do always get what I pray from." What does that mean for us? It means if you are praying or affirming or visualizing with a low Fortune Quotient, you just may not be getting what you want.

Those Foremost Four

What are the Foremost Four? Anything that you are trying to manifest will fall into one of four categories. They are: wealth/money, health/wellness, relationships/love, and self-expression/creativity.

You may find it helpful to create a Dream Book and within it a chapter for each of the Foremost Four.

Different dreams or desires may fall into different chapters for different people. One person may want a job for wealth while another may seek employment for self-expression. Or we may put a dream in more than one chapter. It is helpful for us to see into which chapters our dreams fall.

How Do I Measure My Fortune Quotient?

Our Fortune Quotient is how much we believe we deserve of each of the Foremost Four. And how do we know our beliefs about our Fortune Quotient? A good clue is to see how much we have of each of the Foremost Four.

Usually we have one or two of the Four with which we struggle most. Those may be where our Fortune Quotient is lowest. One person may manifest great wealth but have a heck of a time finding love or a relationship. Another may have a life full of satisfying and supportive relationships but be clueless as to how to express herself, how to give her gifts to the world, or even how to know what her gifts are.

Chapters For Crystal Clarity

Our Fortune Quotient requires that we be crystal clear about what is getting in our way. If we are muddy water, it is very difficult to clearly manifest what we want. You can see what is getting in the way more easily if you write a life summary for each of the chapters of your Dream Book.

Start from where you can remember and end up with today. Write a life summary for wealth, one for health, one for relationships, and one for self-expression.

Then take a look at each. What do you keep getting in each of the Foremost Four? Is there a state you seem to find yourself returning throughout your life? Some way of being and living that seems to feel most comfortable? Most familiar? Any patterns? These stories you write may hold valuable clues to your Fortune Quotient in each of the Foremost Four.

Your Right To A Soaring Fortune Quotient

Recall all the stories about people struggling with money who win the lottery and a couple of years later are back to the same struggle? What do you think that says about their Fortune Quotients? If the Fortune Quotient is not high, the struggle will continue.

All of us deserve the very best of each of the Foremost Four. This world is not one of scarcity where there is not enough to go around. None of us deserve anything less than all that we want. And, yes, we CAN have what we want. Anything is possible.

If we are asking small --or receiving little -- this Fortune Quotient checkup can help. We need to ask big and manifest grandly. Do you feel that you deserve the dreams you are affirming or visualizing? Those with high Fortune Quotients will smile and say a strong and superb YES.
