Dedication
This book is published as I celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of my birth. As I reflect on the first
half century of my life I am overwhelmed with Joy and Love for the many souls
who have assisted me in my journey, whether you know me as Candy, Pauline or Victoria. Some
of you taught me to laugh, some of you taught me to cry. All of you taught me some small or
not-so-small lesson of life. I am privileged to share this life journey with you all.
A very special thanks to my mom, Rosalind Price Bradshaw who not only gave me life but

In the pages that follow you will be introduced to a new paradigm of how life works, both on and
off the job. This book is my interpretation of the works of Thomas Michael Powell, a modern-
day philosopher. At this time this philosopher is not widely known, but I suspect that this will
change as more and more people discover the transformative power of his teachings. At the heart
of these teachings is the codification of the universal laws of Wisdom, Power, and Value. I
learned that life is a polarity; true personal power comes from understanding that all of experi-
ence is both positive and negative. Our inability to effectively manage our internal negative
I was introduced to this new paradigm in the spring of 2003. In the absence of available
reading materials (at that time) and seminars, I was fortunate to participate in a mentor/student
relationship with Thomas. Once I began to apply these universal principles I created a life of
happiness, serenity, and abundance. I see life and everyone I meet as a grand adventure. I am
My heartfelt thanks to you, Thomas, for your significant and generous contribution to
this book, but of greater importance, for all you have given to humanity.

valid questions; I might add essential, as the answers will test your under-
humble, sometimes “tragic” beginnings. While many people who are born
into poverty may remain in poverty there are many who will find success.

Those who are familiar with The Secret might suggest that these
people are the product of positive thinking. These people were able to
create positive thought patterns and therefore create their success stories.

then why do so many people remain in suffering and poverty? Why don’t
these people just “think” themselves out of poverty? What about you?
How much change have you been able to create with visualizations and
affirmations? Or have you found that after a week or two you abandon
the process? Understand that this is not a criticism of these practices but
an explanation that there is much more to the process than most people
realize.
In order to create the HAVE you desire you must go beyond the
THINK and back up to the beginning of the sequence, the BE. This is
what many people missed as they watched The Secret. Yes, your results in
life flow directly from your thoughts; however, you must fully understand
where your thoughts come from. Your thoughts are made of your Quan-
should not bes, beliefs, and ideas. Those who paid more careful attention

respond that this is the reality of their situation. I suggest that you begin by first
accepting response-ability for your situation. Accept that you are Creator and create a
new reality. Begin with “I choose to spend my money in other ways,” every time you are
tempted to say “I can’t afford it.” Notice how this shifts the energy away from Victim
and toward Cause. Begin to notice your negative self-talk in all areas, specifically looking
for and eliminating Victim verbiage. Look for the negative IDentity behind these
