The Power to Achieve Your Financial Goals

By Orok Orokita

Oxfam has estimated that the eighty-five richest people are as wealthy as the poorest half of the world put together. This inequality gap keeps increasing every year even as global aid and development charity efforts continue to grow. This simply shows that the poor do not need charity only; they need information and training on how to harness their natural God-given potentials to help themselves.

The Power to Achieve Your Financial Goals is a simple manual or guide that outlines various tested and proven principles of achievement. It is easy to understand and straight to the point so that those who are ready and willing to take control of their lives can apply these principles to their situations and achieve results without the burden of theorizing or philosophizing. It is not intended to be religious or academic but contains bits of both religious and academic elements in its texts and presentation.

The book lets you know that life is not a random, orderless existence but rather an extremely organized, predictable pattern of actions and reactions, inputs and outputs, of causes and effects, with recognizable laws and principles. Also, people wishing to change their circumstances may not fully understand these laws but, by observation and everyday application, can as well achieve whatever they may desire.

This book is aimed at introducing you to these laws and principles. Applying them, however, is entirely up to you.

About the Author

Preface

And you will know the truth and the truth will make you free (John 8:32 NASB).

Since the origin of human existence, we have been searching for meaning in everything that we can see, feel, or imagine. As a result, we have realized the capacity of our reasoning and explored meanings and motives behind situations. In view of that, we explored thoughts, imagination, and fantasies and began to conceptualize, which has led us to observe patterns, similarities, repetitions, causes, and effects in life generally. From then on, we developed principles, laws, methodologies, assumptions, and rules that govern our conduct and expectations. Consequently, this forms our values, cultures, and behaviors.

One thing everybody agrees on—regardless of religion, race, vocation, profession, or gender—is that nature is governed by patterns, principles, and laws. These laws of nature govern the physical universe that we live in, despite the fact that we may or may not be aware of them. By observing, understanding, and applying these laws, humankind has been able to harness the power of nature to live such luxurious and abundant lives that is extremely astonishing when compared to other creatures in nature. Thus man has been able to create and shape his destiny over the course of his existence by thinking and acting on his thought.

If it is true that by thinking and by acting on its thoughts mankind has created its destiny, then all of us can individually utilize the same power of thought and action to shape our destinies. This power is freely available to everybody, individually and collectively. The advantage we have is that most of these principles have already been observed, tested, and proved by others who, over the course of time, have sought wisdom. All we need to do is to leverage on their findings and teachings, avoid their mistakes, focus on their achievements and discoveries, and improve on all that they have done.

I am writing this book to help the millions of people out there who are searching for answers and meaning to their lives and who desire the power to take control of their circumstances to change them for the better. The power exists, and I have used it to change my life for the better. If I could, then anybody can. It does not matter your physical condition or health so long as you can think and act. If so, then you too can harness this power and use it for yourself. I have shared this knowledge with anybody who cared to listen; some believe and have used it, and they can testify to its validity. I wish that everybody will gain this same knowledge and apply it to their lives so that they too may experience the wonder, beauty, and joy of life that God desires for us.

It has taken several years to gather the courage to write this book. I am not a professional writer, but my message is a confirmation of the authenticity of certain principles that I have personally applied and found effective. It is also an encouragement to those who have ever given this principle a thought. This book is not intended to be philosophical, academic, or religious, even though it has elements of these forms all through its pages. I have tried to keep it as simple as possible so that you can easily understand the principles and apply them yourself. It is not a quick fix but rather a continuous process that you will need to follow patiently.

My journey has taken me through lots of ancient manuscripts
