LIX — Resonant Wealth – Persistence and Positive Mental Attitude
In order to achieve the successful fulfilment of your purpose, you must possess and demonstrate extraordinary persistence, resilience and fortitude to achieve your aim. Unswervingly, you must eye your focus down the barrel of a gun, and be unwavering in seeing the right path before you. If your focus is on a promotion or buying that new car, you must maintain steadfast direction to that goal and not be deflected in any way at all. When external factors present themselves to hinder or compromise your plans, it is then, when the field and arena are tough, you have to exert greater effort in allowing the positive energy to flow through and out of you towards your desire. You must be unwavering in this; you must be persistent in this, and you must, at all times, believe that you can conquer each obstacle and believe that you will achieve.
Possessing a constant positive mental attitude will help you enormously. When you can command, possess, and sustain this important frame of mind, you will begin to see successful results. At any one given time within your mind, there can be either a positive mental attitude or a negative mental attitude. They cannot exist in the domain of your mind at the same time. If a negative mental attitude prevails, then it must be banished by immediately and unreservedly thinking to the contrary. Each negative thought will have its complimentary positive thought, and this must be focused upon and held until the imposter, the negative thought and its accompanying energy are banished from the confines of the mind. If, at the beginning, you feel it hard and difficult to instantly interchange a negative pulse of energy within your mind for its positive counterpart, then make sure you don't make any decisions which can affect your overall purpose, and any action carried out when in a negative state of mind is doomed to failure because of the energy it carries with it.
Another factor that can stimulate positive energy is a mind decided, full of discipline in both actions that promote the purpose for which they strive and in their personal life. The successful person does not allow temporary lapses of mind through the inebriation of drink, excessive bouts of eating, amorous liaisons and anything else that can hinder their progression and journey towards their goal of achievement. This is not to say that you should resist in every way the temptation to enjoy the more voluptuous side of life. You should entertain these most basic and necessary sides of feeling and emotion, but the moment their participation compromises your purpose and goal, that is the moment they must be left or negated. A person having the odd wine can promote their cause for promotion, but the person regularly seen 'worse the wear' for a drink in the morning will have virtually no chance of achieving their desire.

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
