Repost: The Wall Street Swan Dive

As we’ve seen time and time again, people kill themselves when fortunes are lost. Like The Great Depression.
And as we’ve also seen people kill others when fortunes are lost, often their own families.
It’s something that happens with animals when their offspring get sick or when the parent knows it’s sick and won’t be able to care for the babies. Rather than leave them to fend for themselves, they sometimes kill them. My first harsh lesson with that was with a family of hamsters back in 1987.
So are we hard-wired into our own animal programming?
When our finances take a nosedive, are we to follow?
I didn’t bother to check how much I lost in my various tax sheltered annuities and retirement accounts over the past few months.
I’m sure it was a lot. Those are for the long term. I choose not to put attention on them.
Others do, and that’s great. They see them in their “power zone.”
I exercise control over what makes sense to me: my products, my coaching, my avenues of leveraged income. I’ve got a few of those.
I exercise control over ME…my skills, my emotions, my inner peace that allows the channels to prosperity to stay open.
Even when more than a trillion dollars disappears from the global economy.
No swan diving. Too many people depend on me – for financial strength, for emotional strength, for companionship, for guidance, for love.
And too many people depend on those who take the swan dive, including those who will replace them in which they work.
Is THAT the role model they want?
And by the way, the “swan dive” doesn’t have to be an actual suicide. Long term despair in any form is another kind of swan dive, maybe worse in some ways because there’s no closure.
Please understand this: anything we make can be remade – stronger and better, with lessons learned.
If we have SKILLS, including the power to learn and grow, we can do it all over again.
And we don’t have to be attached to the “stuff.”
I’ll never take a swan dive for a swimming pool, or a house, or any amount of money and the alleged “security” it represents.
The phrase is “Happiness is an Inside Job.” I agree. So is security.
There’s a sunrise every morning.
You have your wits to get you around.
You have the ability to be independent and INTERDEPENDENT.
You can start over anytime and decide where you want to be.
You can cultivate an enjoyment of any aspect of life, including the lean times. It prepaves and prepares for the good stuff.
You don’t have to be attached to the symbols of what you’ve manifested.
The meaning of your stuff is exactly what you assign it – no more and no less.
Other people’s opinions of your status is outside of your control.
Focusing on it creates an external locus of control. Now your emotions are dependent on someone else’s approval.
No swan dives.
Appreciation.
All is well.
You won’t starve.
You won’t freeze.
Creature comforts come and go.
You’re going to be fine.
You have you, and that’s all you’ve ever needed.
Your Abundant Friend,
Larry
Maybe more important than ever. It’s how people get rich in bad economic times.
It’s how people lose weight without dieting, exercise or anything else they hate doing.
It’s how people find peace when there’s war all around them.
Take a looksie for yourself.

Originally recorded January, 2009.
No, it’s not cold yet. Hot and humid, in fact!
But we know what’s coming…
Five minutes, for your listening pleasure.
You are in control of how you think, feel and behave…in every situation….
if you choose to be so.
Enjoy! 
…Because I Said So.
Read this if you want to expand your influence…if you want people to follow you because of who you are, without having to convince, persuade or beg.
*** ***
Some parents convince their young children they have supernatural powers – or at least try to…
“Eat your broccoli.”
“Why?”
“Because I Said So!”
“Clean your room.”
“Why?”
Because I Said So!!”
“Do your homework.”
“Why??”
“BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!”
*** *** ***
These parents want to be omnipotent in their kids’ worlds. They want to speak their words into existence.
They want the word to become law.
And sometimes it does. For some, obeying parents without any hesitation is based on fear.
And for others it’s based on complete dependence on the guidance of a mother or father, or both.
And sometimes it’s based on complete trust, love, honor and respect for the person who tells you what to do.
It can be easy or hard to speak your will into another person. Usually it’s impossible unless it’s a dependent child.
(And if it’s someone other than a dependent child, ask yourself if you really want that kind of power over another.)
*** *** ***
Now let’s get to the meat and potatoes of the matter…
How good are you at speaking YOUR OWN WORDS into existence?
It goes back to the authority and confidence you used when speaking your will into someone else. You had every expectation they would obey…
because you had a complete sense of control and power.
AND (my point)…if you have a sense of control and power over your own life, you find you can speak your own reality into existence.

“I will attract $20,000 into my checking account this week…because I said so.”
“I will manifest my best time ever running five miles…because I said so.”
“I will create the perfect vacation for my spouse and me, including a great experience for the kids (apart from us)…because I said so.”
There are people who do this as on an everyday basis.
Some are famous – such as Donald Trump, Hugh Hefner, etc.
Some are underground, quietly living the life of their dreams.They have a partnership with the Universe.
It’s as if they’re the parent and the forces around them have such love and regard, they arrange great things for them.
And there are many who have partially mastered this skill and have created wonderful life situations.
They’re on their way to achieving that same relationship and having a great time in the process.
Where are you on the “Because I Said So” spectrum?
Do you have the power to shape worlds?
Do you have no influence on anyone or anything?
Which end of the equation are you closer to?
And…are you interested in figuring out the process of making miracles in your own life…
because you said so.

A Twitter Milestone….Sort of
Not twenty minutes ago I watched my Twitter followers do the equivalent of an odometer rollover.
Yup…I hit 10,000 followers.
I don’t know what happens next. Should someone be sending me a congratulations Tweet? Or an email?
Do I get a gift certificate for a free something or other?
I put some effort into getting 10K. I looked at lots of profiles. I put out a lot of stuff, always trying to be funny, or insightful or compassionate. I try to add value to people’s Twitter experience.
And I suppose I got a reward today. Ten thousand of my closest friends are now hanging on my every Tweet.
Yeah, I know. Maybe five or ten percent are actually noticing what Larry Hochman says.
And of that percentage, some check out my blog or autoresponder…kind of like you are doing here.
And of them, some take the plunge and pick up one of my products or actually get direct support from me through one on one or group coaching.
It’s all good. It’s how we do business here in Cyberland. We create relationships…all different levels of them. From the fleeting to the deep and permanent, and everything in between. But most leaning toward fleeting.
It’s easy to get caught up in the numbers. It’s great marketing for Twitter and Facebook, and all the other places where you can have “friends.”
The numbers give you a sense of achievement. And they give you a reason to stick around. OK, I’ve got ten thousand. Now I’ve got my sites set on fifteen.
It’s good stuff. It’s all good stuff. It’s in how you play it.
So at the end of all the marketing, when your head hits the pillow at night, here’s what I want you to ask yourself…
“How do I feel?”
“How are my relationships with the people I interact with every day?”
“How is the relationship with myself? Am I bringing all kinds of good stuff into my life?”
“Do I have the cash flow? The health? The sense of power and self-control I want?”
“Do I have a sense of partnership with an intelligence (use whatever word you like) that loves, supports and plays with me?”
“Am I substituting my real life for a virtual life? Or is my virtual life adding another layer of blessings to my everyday existence?”
If the numbers are driving you…if you feel like a rat that just got a treat dropped into the maze when you get a *like*…you know the answer.
If you hang out for hours at Farmville…you know.
Did I strike a nerve?
It’s cool. You can try something different. It’s not an either-or thing.
You can cultivate relationships here.
You can also step out into the light.
You’re worth it.
Yeah…you really are.
Your Pal,
Larry
You’re worth that, too.

HOW TO RECEIVE

How To Juggle (and Change Your Life Forever)
"I’ve coached with Larry before and always came away with something good that I could use. Last winter I hit a bad patch of doldrums — just couldn’t get out of my own way. I definitely needed a jump start and figured that Larry was the man to do it. I told Larry I needed someone to kick my a** - in a good way - and he has done a great job. As always. Thanks to Larry, I’m back on track physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I’m getting stuff done.
B.K.
Washington
"Larry’s influence has helped me embrace, acknowledge and appreciate whatever is going on in my life. I feel myself growing in confidence and stature as I rediscover the imaginative, reactive magnificent ME. I’m seeing life from a whole new perspective, loving this idea of playing BIG, right now it feels like an overarching radiance, beginning to notice far reaching ripple effects as I dance through life, creating a splash and inviting people to join in."
Emily P.
United Kingdom
"Larry has a gift for telling it like it is, has a real, down to earth approach to motivating people to jump not just ahead in their lives, but onto a whole new higher plane than ever thought possible."
Katherine A.
Maryland
"In a world where so many people are stuck in a metaphysical morass, Larry has a uniquely tender ability to reach out from the heart and touch your soul."
Richard C.

"Working with Larry was very helpful and gave me a lot of strength. And I feel things for me are moving forward, I have a long way to go, but I’m confident in my path."
Timor P.

"Larry positively impacts my life in ways I am regularly surprised at, and am incredibly grateful for. He seems to have devoted his life to the enlightenment, freedom and liberation of ALL of us. A human being with such HUGE love and great intention is undeniable. He is simultaneously humble yet powerful. Wise yet playful and lighthearted. A great teacher, yet just one of us, learning as he goes. He inspires me to do and be all
those things, too. A person doesn’t have to have it ALL figured out to lead another up to their next level, they just need to have gone a little before them. We are all here to uplift and inspire each other, and Larry gets that. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone. If you feel drawn to him, GO with that."
Liz M.

"Woo Hoo! connecting with you has already sent me in such a good direction! Thank you Larry."
Dianne C.

"Larry is so spontaneous and has a wonderful gift of bringing joy, laughter, seriousness and his expertise in psychology that makes the time fun, uplifting and enlightening."
