You have a millionaire mind ! In the previous posts about my personal learnings from T. Harv Eker’s Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar, I wrote about incomplete communications we have with people in our lives, with ourselves and God. It’s about what we were told about everything that is even closely related to money and what we were not told. And it’s about our personal interpretation or misinterpretation about what we were told or not told.
No one forces us today to believe or hold on to our own disempowering thoughts and interpretations or misinterpretations of our reality.
So it’s about completing communications with people and telling them what we wanted to tell them, asking them the questions we wanted to ask them and eventually forgiving them. Forgiving releases, first and foremost ourselves.
I also learned that our thoughts create our emotions and our emotions create our actions. Our thoughts might be subconscious, so the first step is becoming aware of our thoughts because thoughts are things.
And so are thoughts about incomplete communications and stuck energy.
A good friend of mine, Jonathan Alford, wrote the following in his comment to the post The Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar – Undo The Brainwashing To Poverty Pt. 1:
“At this point I have some incomplete things with a relative that has since passed away. I’ll never be able to tell my grandmother how I loved her and thought highly of her. We spent the final two years of her life not speaking but it was mainly due to distance (1500mi). We weren’t on bad terms.
Just goes to show that we should appreciate the time we have with the ones we love while we have them.”
This comment really nails it: If we still can, we have to complete the communications with people in the living years. If not, we still can complete the communication on a spiritual basis but in the living years, it’s definitely preferrable, is it not ?
T. Harv Eker was referring to that also when he shared how he completed a communication with his own Dad in the living years.
Then he had the entire hall of 1,400 people form a circle – hand in hand and sing the following song:
Can you imagine how powerful that was ?
I want to say “Thank you” to Jonathan for bringing exactly that point up. Good job !
You have a MILLIONAIRE MIND !

Hi Oliver,
I am sure singing that song must have been a very moving and powerful experience!
I believe we should live our lives on the edge of appreciation at all times and that means we will be appreciative of everybody we encounter, know and love too. It means consciously looking for that which we love about them and ignoring what we don’t, which is usually insignificant in the bigger scheme of things.
I always enjoy your posts Oliver, Thank you.

Hi Marcus,
I loved the idea of “loving mirrors” and “safe havens” in Noah St. John’s book. As a loving mirror I see for example the potential of my wife. When I remind her of her potential I am more of a save haven – because she doesn’t always like that and I remind her of the requirements of business. She might say:”I wonder what you are seeing. I don’t see anything.” Reminding sometimes only means that I say the word “potential” or the words “your potential”. Of course, she didn’t choose me as a loving mirror and/or a safe haven consciously.
The problem is that we are often playing with love on a subconscious basis. Not with love or no-love, but with conditioned love and unconditioned love. “If you do that, I’ll love you more.”
In a relationships we remind each other of the requirements of business, as a safe haven is supposed to do. But we have to be “loving mirrors” as well.
I believe that we can show our unconditioned appreciation – as you note – more easily and readily if we are aware of the fact that there are two worlds: A world of unconditioned love and a world of conditioned “love”. We have to be prepared for the latter on the basis of unconditioned love as parents and spouses.
Thanks for your thought-provoking comment.
Take care

Hi Oliver,
My extended family is huge and many of us live in different states here in the US, and others live in Jamaica, Canada and England. The few I am able to communicate with I am close to emotionally and in distance.
If I was able to add a few extra hours in the day I would be able to communicate with the rest or I could set up some type of family calling schedule and then there would not be any reason why I couldn’t get in-contact with them.
Do you think that a good idea?

Hi Tisha,
I don’t know if you have incomplete communications with them. If you have, you’d better complete the communication, by mail or telephone. If not, no worries
Thanks for your comment.

Hi Oliver,
Another thought-provoking post! I am a true believer in the power of thought to drive emotion and ultimately actions. Everything is derived from thought. Without a thought, however fleeting, there is no action. Even when we believe we experienced a “knee jerk reaction” to something, there was actually thought behind that action, even if it was only for a brief second.
Regarding your second point, thoughts being incomplete communications, I’m not sure if that is always true. Surely there are thoughts without action, I have many thoughts during the day but only act on but a few. Maybe I am missing the point!
I do agree that incomplete communications can be problematic, especially when it comes to a close friend or family member. It is always best to resolve these while all are still living, but it’s not always easy! I have seen within my own family persons who have not spoken in years and have gone to their grave without doing so.
It is a sad situation when that happens.
Thanks again Oliver for allowing me to take a break and exercise my brain power!
All the best!

Hi Bob,
thanks for your thoughtful comment. In most cases, thoughts that drive action are subconscious.
Let me just clarify that I intented to refer to thoughts about incomplete communications, conscious or subconscious. They can drive actions as well as inactions. They can induce us to do make the same “mistake” over and over again until we finally get it. I didn’t want to convey that thoughts are incomplete communications. Rather than that, incomplete communications are thoughts or at least create thoughts, feelings and actions (or inactions).
It’s definitely not easy because the other person might not have the mindset for that – and we allow fear stop us.
Take care
Oliver

HI Oliver,
Wow, powerful post and video. This song came out right at the same time as my boyfriend’s dad died in high school. Listening to it again brought back so many feelings and emotions. I know my boyfriend had a tough time saying good bye to his dad at such a young age and it was a great lesson for me on how short life can be and how much we need to enjoy the opportunities we have now.
Thank you Oliver, and Jon for the moving reminder.

It’s very important to enjoy our life and its opportunities in the here and now, couldn’t agree more.

Oh my! That would have been powerful, to be a part of that circle. I love that song and find it very moving.
I have a relative similar to Jon’s who passed away before I could tell her what she meant to me. She had invited me to come and spend a week or two with her and I was planning to do it during the summer after I graduated from college.
Unfortunately, she died suddenly of a blood clot before I graduated. I’m sure she knows now how much regret I have about not getting to see her before then but I still wish I had been able to do so.

Hi Jeanine,
it was very moving, definitely.
Regardless of what happened, harbouring regrets and holding on to them doesn’t serve anybody. I am sure that the person passed wouldn’t wish that we live with regrets.
Thanks for your comment.

Oliver, that must have been a touching experience especially to that song. It gets right to the core of the heart.
As you already know.. I currently have communication with someone I love very much. Wierdly it is my ex husband… and I probably should not be saying this with my outside voice (again). He unfortunately never allowed ‘us’ to communicate, hence, no compromise was ever reached.
I live with this, but adapted to personal development and self growth strategies to build be up as a person, learn to forgive (others and myself)… and made me accept that sometimes broken communication cannot be helped. The other person has to be willing to receive it… and participate, if that only means listening.
Regarding loving who we have while we can … I am huge on that. We don’t always do the best job, although there is one thing I can say… and that is when I lost my friend Danny in January, a person I more or less grew up with in our small town… although we were not what you could call “joined at the hip” we liked each other. I told him I loved him as soon as I heard he had been diagnosed with Cancer. I then took one day per week to visit him. The only regret I do have is that he passed the in the wee hours of the morning before out weekly date. The part that bothers me is that I had postposed the date… it was originally to have happened on the Wednesday… I put it off till the Thursday because I felt a bit ‘off’ and didn’t want to risk sharing anything if I was coming down with a cold. Although the intentions were genuine… and correct… I still would give anything to have one more hug and give him one more kiss.
So yes… while we are here.. we must cherish every moment and every person in our moments…
Very touching post Oliver… I think I’ll go and have a bawl now.

Hi Jayne,
thanks for your comment and sharing your thoughts and feelings.
I agree that sometimes communications are broken or dysfunctional in a relationship. It’s not so astonishing because it’s something we don’t learn at school and in our family because we’re supposed to be able to communicate correctly automatically. No, it’s a skill that has to be learned and that can be learned like driving a car.
What you shared about your friend reminds me of one Samantha’s question in one of her recent posts: Warmth or health ? Anyway, great that you acknowledge yourself for having had the best intentions.
Take care

Hi Oliver!
This post of yours suddenly made me remember the book I read a long time ago, “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom.
It’s a true story account of the writer’s encounter with his dying professor. In one of the Tuesdays that they met, they talked about “regrets.” His professor talked about how our culture doesn’t encourage people to think about death and regrets until we are already in our deathbed. His valuable lesson imparted to Mitch was that while we are still living, we should constantly retreat and reflect on our life and take stock of what’s missing and do something about it. We shouldn’t do a good eulogy when the person is already dead and couldn’t hear it. We do it while he or she could. Alive.
Time is of the essence and we shouldn’t have regrets. If we have issues to settle, we do it now, while we could still settle it and pave the way for closure not just for us but for the next generation.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Elmar,
thanks for your comment and sharing that story. Talking sensibly about death is a taboo, that is true. Fear of death is so common although there’s no point in being afraid of something that comes anyway, as sure as death. No wonder it’s one of the six basic ghosts of fear.
Our life only consists of time and so we should value every single moment.
Take care

Oliver, aloha. Because I am on the mainland with limited computer access, I was not able to watch the clip and hear the song so will look forward to doing so next week ehn I return to Hawaii.
That being said, Oliver, I do know that we more often regret what we don’t do/say than what we do. Because of that, I have long made it a habit to tell people how much I appreciate them and/or love them.
When I express my appreciation, Oliver, I am always specific. What I mean by this is that I say “Oliver, one of the reasons I appreciate you so much is because you take the time to read posts carefully, think and then leave an insightful comment. That’s why, Oliver, I am always delighted when I see your smiling face in my comments section.”
To me, Oliver, that is much more meaningful than if I just said: “Oliver, I think you are great.” Which, even though I do, doesn’t it make you wonder why exactly I think you are great?
By the way, Oliver, what I said about why I appreciate you is a true statement rather than a creation for example purposes.
Even though we live in an age ot instant communication, what I have found, Oliver, is that most people I truly touched when they receive a hand written note. It doesn’t have to be long because the fact that a person took the time to write it, delivers the message with greater impact.
Oliver, I’m with you that it is much better to complete communication while both parties are still in the physical realm.
Oliver, thx so much for taking Jon’s comment and expanding it into this powerful post. that Jon would make such a comment does not surprise me because I find him to be intuitive, thoughtful and candid. Both of you have enriched my life. Thank you for being you. Aloha. Janet

Hi Janet,
what you just shared about you being specific is what makes you a natural and a credible networker. It’s much more helpful than a generic “You’re great” or “You’re awesome” because it allows me to do more of what makes me “great” or do less of something that makes me not so great.
I also agree that a written note is an opportunity to show one’s appreciation and stand out from the crowd in our age of electronic communication.
Thanks for your comment.
Take care

What a powerful post, Oliver. Thank you so much for highlighting Jon’s comment. I had skimmed by it, not realizing how strong and applicable it could be for my life as well.
I have a grandfather who is over 90 years old. He’s losing his voice and ability to communicate. Since I am able to, I should make it a priority to visit him in the Philippines and spend time with him during these years of his life. He was a real character and an important part of my childhood.
Thank you so much for reminding me of my priorities, Oliver!

The Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar – Undo The Brainwashing To Poverty Pt. 6 Oliver I so appreciate the song its beautiful and the lyrics so appropriate to this post.
Im sorry to hear u could not speak with your grandmother because of distance. i know of mum and daughter in same town and both alive who dont speak because of childhood grievances its very sad situation with not much time left as the mum is elderly and stubborn. I also know of another mum and daughter where the mum died and the daughter grown up and still suffers she never got to tell her mum she luv her very sad case indeed.
They say that time heals it all i was raised to believe that. Carry oneself and walk with good thoughts and appreciation and gratitude.
I always enjoy your posts Oliver, Thank you

Time heals, however, we have to do something otherwise it’s rather like a “wild fermentation”.

Very powerful post and I always love hearing your thoughts Oliver!
Thoughts beget action. Our job is to keep our thoughts pure, clean, and positive to drive powerful, explosive, and positive thoughts.
As an aside, I wonder sometimes why negative thoughts enter my mind. It takes me a few seconds to realize what’s happening and then I either think of something else or turn the thought into a positive one. I heard someone say before that humans seem to be negative in nature and it takes much effort and action on our part to be positive. I truly hope that isn’t true but sometimes it seems that way…
Great song and overall the millionaire mindset is what will take us higher in life, despite our circumstances or upbringing. I need you to go on a speaking tour and tell others about this
