What Would It Feel Like To Be Rich

Written by Alex Marlin on January 14, 2008 – 4:13 am -


Today, I am feeling great and really wanted to write something inspiring that I know many people fail to think about and that is what it would feel like to be rich, yes, I mean wealthy, having enough money to do and live how you please. Our mind is powerful and we have to learn how to dream big, and I mean dreaming bigger dreams, and live a life that we are grateful and thankful for. You have to learn how to be thankful for whatever you have in your life, and you should count your blessings each and every day.

I must admit that I am not rich, so don’t go thinking that this dude is wealthy beyond his wildest dreams and lives the glorious life. I am far from rich, and I am dreaming the dream today and will be living the rich life for this moment that I will be typing this post. As I type my face glows and I am actually feeling the rich vibes running through my body.

This will be a story type, filled with fiction and deep imagination of something that you too should desire. I can’t say that I won the lottery, because I don’t play so I won’t ever win the lottery. So my story will focus on building wealth online with my websites that I have been building and especially this one. So close your eyes and dream along with me.

Little Skinny Guy From A Small Island In The Caribbean, Makes $70,000 Monthly Online.

A couple years back, I got this dream about building websites for fun online. I didn’t have a clue as to how I would get this done. I slowly started reading many articles online and bought a couple books about building websites online. Slowly but surely I understood what it took to build a website online. Today I can build a site and announce it to the world and have people coming to my site that same day from all over the globe.

I was having fun doing this, my skills were improving and I slowly started to see more and more people coming to my sites, many of them loved my writing style, lots didn’t, but that didn’t stop me, I continued to write more of what I believed my writers would like and what I believed would help them.

I got so good at this, that this site, the one your reading this article on now, started to get over 2 million visitors per month. Many investors wanted a piece of the pie, they were offering me large sums of money to place ads on my site. I refused, and then one day I got this offer that I just couldn’t refuse. They offered me exclusive rights to my site and offered to pay me $70,000 (U.S. Dollars monthly) to place ads on my site.

My dream came through, I knew then that all my hard work had payed off. I was finally able to realize my dream of visiting Australia, Japan and China for three weeks long. I then told my wife about the offer and told the kids to start planning that dream trip I always spoke of. We were all happy and looking forward to this day, because I have always been saying that pretty soon you all will see that big check come in the mail. It didn’t come in the mail this time, I had to go and get this one.

The big day came, and we were flown over to San Francisco on a private yet from St. Maarten, to sign off on this deal. I got a check for $70,000 dollars written out in my name. I looked across the room and saw the smile on my wifes face and at that moment all I taught was: “Believe in yourself and dream the big life and work towards your dream.”

I was treated like royalty for the couple of days we spent in San Francisco, must say, lovely city, I will have to visit again, but for now it’s time for me to head on home, to let my “BOSS’ know that I won’t be returning to work. From that day on I would be publishing and building better sites. Someone is going to buy out my next site. Yes, I do have a dream to build a top site, can’t give too much information, because someone will steal my idea, that Google will buy for 10 Million Dollars.

I left my kids finish off the school term for that year, and as we began packing, I told them we will be going on a true vacation for three weeks long. We will stay for one week on each Island and stay in a five star Hotel. By that time I had $565,000 Dollars in my bank account. I was still living where I live now.

How will I spend my money and enjoy my new life?

The first thing I promised myself is to take a trip to a far away land, yes, a dream trip, and I finally had the money to travel to any Island or country I choose. Traveling will become my past time. Each and every Island in the Caribbean will be visited.

For now, I have plans to build a beautiful home with a pool on a nice lot of land on St. Maarten, overlooking the ocean. I have already started drafting the design of this masterpiece. This home will be awesome, five bedrooms, my own little office space, huge walk in closet. three car ports, yes I do have plans to buy my F150 pick-up truck, a car for my wife and a nice little convertible Mercedes Benz CLK, this would be our family week-end car.

My Big Trip

We were all packed, drove to the airport, checked in and had a drink, then I told my family to all remember to be thankful, and now it’s time for us to have some fun and enjoyment. We are going all out on this trip, this is the moment we have been waiting for. As we were boarding the flight, I told them that we have first class tickets all the way.

It was a really long and exhausting trip, we flew from St. Maarten to Miami, then onto San Francisco, there we spent three days doing some shoppings, bought some nice clothing. We then departed for Melbourne Australia. The flight was long, but the excitement we had of making the trip made it worth every cent.

We arrived in Melbourne, all tired and drowsy from all that traveling, flying first class made it easy to sleep and enjoy the trip, we took a cab and drove down to the Grand Hyatt Melbourne. Man, talk about driving, everything seemed miles away. We got there and stayed in a 5 star hotel, this is sheik life, everything was just awesome and so much to do and see.

We were having a ball shopping and visiting many of their museums and outback spots. All of this was what I was dreaming of for years and to see this materialize in front of my eyes was just amazing.

The best visit was when we flew down to Sydney, the view was breath taking and the visit to the Sydney Opera House was one I would never forget. It was all so unbelievable, like a miracle come true, that I wished the trip would never end. We took so many pictures that we could fill a couple walls in our new home that was being built. That was my surprise to the family. They didn’t have a clue that our new home was being built while we are on vacation.

That week went by fast and it was time to move onto our second destination, and that was Japan…

Our Visit To Japan…

11 Tips To Getting Anything You Want

Written by Alex Marlin on December 13, 2007 – 4:06 am -


Are you one of those soggy people walking around blaming everyone for all your short comings?

I can honestly say, that I once fitted in that category just fine, I was content with my situation, and did my fair share of complaining, the more I complained the more it made me feel better. You know the sad part of that is that I was actually stunting my own growth, nothing was working for me, my JOB, my attitude, my love life and my kids wasn’t enjoying the beast I was becoming.

Then I said to myself, if you want to be someone then it is time you stop looking through the glass window, and replace that window with a mirror. I started looking at myself for the first time, and realized what I became. It was time to change and I will now introduce you to the 11 tips that can help you get anything you want in life, it surely did and is still working for me:

  1. Don’t Worry - You have to drop the worry habits, there is no room in your head for you to be storing problems or worrying about what is going on in your life. You have to live a life that consumes each and every minute the good Lord gives you. None of us can predict when it’s our last, enjoy every moment that your able to get out of your bed and make the best out of the day ahead.

  2. Be Yourself - You are who your are, your an original copy. There is no one alive who knows you better than you know yourself. You don’t want to pretend or act as if your someone else. You can only attract love if you learn to love you. All great things in life came from someone original, be yourself always, don’t let anyone lead you and learn to bring out the leader in yourself. Each and everyone of us has potential, as long as we remain who we are.

  3. Be Grateful - Learn to accept the people around you, it’s not your calling to change them, just like how I made the choice to change, so should you. Learn to love the world we live in, stop criticizing your surroundings, your work, your life and yourself. You will make mistakes, learn from them, you will have many more to make, so get accustomed.

  4. Be Creative - All you need in this world is to bring forth your own creative mind, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. The life you live now, is the life you created, accept it, and let your creative juices flow. Once your creative mind is filled, new and and weird ideas will come to mind. Write them down, study them, don’t let them fade away into a lost memory.

  5. Visualize - yes, see what it is you want in your life, picture the great things in life. Stop all evil thoughts from gaining access to your mind, suppress and replace any picture that isn’t worthwhile. Dream the dreams that only the stars can afford, keep it locked in your mind, it’s your own big flat screen T.V. Enjoy the pictures that you wish to see, you have your own remote, change the channel, if a movie is playing that you don’t like.

  6. You Can’t Have Anything You Want In Life - Remember this, you can’t have anything you want in life, it is the greed that drives you, stop the wanting. If you really want something in life, you have to visualize that you already have it. You have to act and be the person you want to be. If you wish to pass your classes and graduate, see yourself walking on that stage as your going to get that diploma. see the success you wish to create for yourself, don’t wish for it. Visualize it is yours, now. Dream bigger dreams, but picture that you have what you want already.

  7. Use Your Love - When was the last time you told someone, I Love You? Say it, mean it and then say it again. Feel how great it feels, learn to share your love. The more love you share, the more love will be returned to your life.

  8. Give - Learn the powers of this universe and reap the rewards by giving, gifting is not for the rich alone. Don’t wait until your rich to give. You can give love, then you will receive love in return. Give respect and you will get respect. But, try giving money, and you will receive more money. Make it part of your life. Pick one day out of the week, and decide that you will give, contribute a dollar amount that you can afford to someone needy. Do that every day, and I can guarantee you that your life will change, you will have abundance. Whatever you desire for yourself in this life, give, give and give more of what you seek.

  9. Smile - A smile is the cheapest thing life has to offer. Don’t tell me you can’t afford one, it’s free. Smile more, let people feel what you radiate just by being in your close proximity.

  10. Look Into People Eyes - Let there be light, and there was. Then why is it that your afraid to look people in their face and look deep into their eyes. You can peek into another soul by watching straight into their eyes. It’s power, it shows your strengths and courage. Stop looking at the ground, start facing people and keep your head high.

  11. Touch… learn to embrace life, feel what life has to offer. Honestly learn to face life head on, reach out and show a friend how much you care, just a simple touch can do that. Material things can’t buy love, it is knowing that you have someone there that you can count on does. Show them you care, just reach out and touch them.

Life is a journey, a never ending long winding road, it is a journey we each have to take. you have the choice now, to continue down the path your going, or decide to make the best out of your journey. I have done just that, and I am seeing so many doors open that I just can’t honestly explain why. Is it a miracle, is it the almighty or is it because I decided that I wanted more out of life. You be the judge, I am the jury, I am living proof. I am mastering the secrets, and so can you, just believe in yourself and enjoy life and live by those tips.

An Attitude Of Gratitude

Written by Alex Marlin on October 9, 2007 – 2:06 am -


The world is so filled with ungrateful people that it sickens me when I see people complaining on my job and never ever being thankful for something that someone did for them. I have seen situations where they gave so many people chances on my job and the following day they were in a heated battle discussing why management just don’t care.

The story here is to show you why so many of us are missing out on the blessing that can come our way, but because of our ungrateful attitude we are lining very unhappy lives.

There is this one person that made me write this article because of his selfish attitude and total lack of gratefulness. Robert, a once very happy and friendly employee, was one of those workers that was terminated by the company a few years back. He tried starting a company with a couple friends, but failed at that also. So he was left with no choice but to return here looking for a job again. His manger begged for them to give him a chance and he was granted a second chance for the second time around, but he became even more ungrateful and wasn’t even thankful for the blessing that were being sent his way.

Soon after that, he was filled with steam and petitioning the campaign that they get rid of the manager that gave him a chance. He and another colleague were determined to get rid of that manager. It ended up in a bitter court battle between the other colleague and they got rid of the other colleague. Robert was blessed once again and they didn’t get rid of him. Now today he walks around with the most sorrowful attitude that I have ever seen from any worker. He sits in meetings as a broken neck chicken and acts as if he doesn’t care.

Well, I had a talk with him and told him that what he does is really pitiful. It is such a shame that you would let your ego drop so low and walk around with your head down. Self esteem is one word, but with this type of attitude you are building so much stress that one day you will suffer a stroke or massive heart attack. I asked him who he think wins such a battle, the JOB or you. I didn’t wait for an answer i told him no matter what you answer know, the JOB wins and you and your family looses. You will be a goner and in a couple of days, you will be replaced and no one will even miss ya. I told him; If it’s that bad, why don’t you ask for a transfer or start looking for another job?

He was very quiet and didn’t even bother to answer, but you could see a change on his face. A couple minutes later, he slowly started to explain the situation he was facing on the job, and I could sense the relief as he began to speak. Haven’t seen Robert in such a depressed state since then.

Change your attitude and watch your life change before your eyes

One thing I have witnessed in my own life, is that your attitude brings more fortune your way. If we would only learn to pay more attention to our own attitude and start being grateful for the things we have in life. We would all live fulfilled and blessed lives. We would not lack anything in life, because with our new found attitude we would only be focusing on the good things that life has to offer and that way we would only receive the best things we wish for in life.

The life your living today is the life that fits with your attitude. Stop complaining about your old car. Stop bad mouthing the house you live in. Stop screaming at your kids, because they are not the cause of the life your living today. Stop arguing about what you have to eat today. Stop walking around with a sour face. Stop looking at your paycheck and saying it’s not enough. Stop, stop, stop…

In one sentence, stop all the complaining and for once in your life start being a little thankful for the things you have today.

If you could change one thing today, I would say this: “Change Your Attitude.”

There is a better life right around the corner, it’s awaiting you, but you just won’t let it in. Do you know what is killing all the success that awaits you, it’s without a doubt your attitude of gratitude.

How To Create A Winning Attitude

I count my blessings daily and I have changed in so many ways that it amazes me how much I used to complain about everything and my life was so empty. All that time I never realized that it was my attitude that was sucking away all the wealth that awaited me. I never had a clue that I am the one that I can create a much better destiny if I would just building a winning attitude. Just image an attitude of gratitude so strong that not even the devil can break it.

Today, I smile more, I am very easy going with my kids, more understandable with everyone in my life and on my job. I have been picturing the things I love and doing what I love. I have been drawing nothing but great things my way. And this all started the day I became more thankful. I would awake every morning and lay there in my bed saying thanks for everything that I own. Every evening before I go to bed, I would say thanks again for all that happened today, and look forward to what tomorrow have to bring, because I know that I would always have great days from now on

So if your a thin or a small person, be thankful. There are many people in the world who are missing body parts or would wish to have your small frame or just be thin and healthy. So be a little more thankful. Make each day better by being thankful for how well your day went. Even if you had the worse day of your life, look at the good things that happened and be thankful and wish for a much better day tomorrow.
