Foreword.

This is the most important time in history because the world is waiting
for a special one who will help turn the lever of civilization towards a
quantum experience of unfathomable possibilities the world has ever
dreamed of. Men and women are taking giant strides that has began a
model for millions of others to follow suit.In every continent in the
world,some body is stepping into greatness and re-writing the history of
the world.

Barack Obama has been named Time magazine man of the year.He
deserves it a billion percent.He envisioned the possibilities of a greater,
safer and more prosperous America. He took the step of initiative, to
offer himself to the American people for the number one seat. He
believed in his dream and the rest is a pleasant history.

The principles he used to succeed are still available to the man or


woman who is ready to put them into practice and make a paradise out
of their own lives. I call them success keys. They will open the doors of
opportunities, wisdom, success, courage and great accomplishments if
you will use them regularly.

The world is waiting for that person who will step out to be counted
among the great. The world is waiting for you. As you read, remember
that every person has a choice to make in respect of the direction he or
she wants to go. That choice is up to you.

1.OBAMA is
is a man of definite purpose.
purpose
He knew what he wanted and he did not allow pre-election poll
results to distract him from that purpose.The only thing on his
mind was being the president of united states.Today,he has
realized his drems.The number one key to success has to do with a
definite purpose.

Discover what you really want. Be clear about it. The easiest way
to know what you want is to first understand what you don’t want.
Once you are clear about the things in your life you want to get rid
off, it becomes easier for you to choose a new direction in life.
Have you seen an airplane take off without a definite destination?
It doesn’t work that way. A destination is set before the plane takes
off. Every successful person the world has heard about had been
someone who had a definite purpose or aim.

Bill Gates had a definite purpose of having a software in every


computer in the world. He started Microsoft. His success is
evident. It is believed that about ninety percent of people in the
world are drifting aimlessly through life without a definite purpose
which they can strive towards.

Over thirty years ago, a young man wrote down new goals for his
life. He wanted to move into a castle within a year; marry a wife
within six months, earn millions of dollars from his business. He
was thinking about all these goals while he lived in a dilapidated
building. As a high school drop out, the odds were hugely stacked
against him. But, he decided to close the knowledge gap by being
self-taught. The physical appearance of this young man only
depicted the pathetic picture of a hopeless dreamer. Did I hear you
say hopeless? Well, maybe for the short sighted dreamer.

This was a dream fueled by the oil of belief and turbocharged by


massive action towards its realization.He had a purpose and

RAYMOND OVIETARE 5
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

believed it will come to pass. He remained focused on that purpose


and he moved from the ruins of a single room apartment to a
castle. He bought the castle for $1.5 million dollars, the following
year.

Today, he is an adviser and coach to presidents of nations, Ceos of


fortune 500 companies and International organizations. Celebrities
like Serena Williams have benefited immensely from his wealth of
wisdom. This man has been priviledged to work directly with more
than three million people from over one hundred nations.

American Express recognizes him as one of the top six business


leaders in the world to coach its entrepreneurial clients. Several
years ago, his writings motivated me to move from a one room
apartment to a four bedroom detached house within eleven months.
Who is this guy I have been talking about. He is Anthony Robbins,
America, s leading Motivational speaker and peak performance
consultant. Tony Robbins is the author of the influential best
sellers,Awaken the Giant within and Unlimited Power.

Napoleon Hill,said: Any definite chief aim that is deliberately


fixed in the mind and held there, with the determination to
realize it,finally saturates the entire subconscious mind until it
automatically influences the physical actions of the body toward
the attainment of that purpose.

A man without a definite purpose is a like a man lost in the jungle


with no apparent direction. Obama had a definite purpose and the
rest is history on a positive side.

2.OBAMA understands the magic


magic power
of belief.
Jesus said in the book of mark , chapter 9 and verse 23:
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE. All his healing
activities in the bible demonstrated the power of belief. He kept
telling people to have faith; faith in ourselves; faith in our ideas;
faith in people and most importantly, faith in God. Obama strongly
believes in himself. He believes in his God-given abilities to bring
America out of the doldrums of economic depression, dwindling
confidence among the community of nations.

It was the power of belief that brought Japan from the ruins of a
world war to build one of the most prosperous nations on earth. It
is the power that is transforming India and China. The power of
belief opens up to us the secret of nature. Flowers and peanuts
revealed their secrets to George Washington Carver at Tuskegee.
He was known as the man who talked to flowers. It is the belief in
the future of the computer industry that made Bill Gates drop out
of school to follow his passion in the form of Microsoft.
Mohammad Ali believed he was the greatest boxer in the world
and what a hell of a fight he gave his opponents.

Beliefs are like doctrines and creeds but they are more than that.
Beliefs determine our actions. It directs our brains. Beliefs acts as
compasses that direct us towards our predominant goals. We are
thinking beings. Our predominant thoughts form our belief
systems. What we believe ,we act upon and we get our results.
whatever we believe becomes true for us.

Jesus kept saying, ”it is done to you according to your faith”. Your
believing creates the link to your receiving. It is belief that makes
blind eyes see. It is belief that make men walk barefoot on hot

RAYMOND OVIETARE 7
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

coals without being hurt. It is belief that makes a mother receive


her dead son to life. It is belief that works those healing miracles at
the Lourdes of France. It is belief that brought about the airplanes,
telephone, mobile phones, dvd players, digital cameras, space
shuttle, computers, electric light bulb, microwave ovens, digital
books, internet. Belief! Belief!! Belief!!!

The next step after deciding on what you want, is to believe you
will get it. You must believe that the universe supports your goal.
You must believe in people to assist you in achieving your goals.
You must believe you are already a success. Remember – success
begets success.

You must believe you can because if you do, you will. You must
take steps to actualizing your dreams. You must keep selling your
ideas to yourself. You must keep selling your strengths to yourself.
You must keep selling your goals to your sympathizers or your
dream team. You must be an evangelist for your dream. You must
keep the fire of passion burning.

You must attune yourself with divine intelligence so that you


receive first class spiritual guidance that will enable you achieve
your goals. The dream is actually not yours but it is infinite
intelligence that has given you that dream to bring into third
dimensional reality.

This dream seed requires the regular watering of prayer,


contemplating, chanting, affirmations, meditations, sitting for ideas
and backed with the sunshine of hard work. The fertilizer that will
rapidly make you achieve your dream is faith. You get faith by
choosing the same thing; by keeping your focus on the dream.
Have faith in the idea.

Have faith in yourself. Have faith in your team. Have faith in


hardwork. It becomes your labour of love. Have faith in God.

3.OBAMA is a determined person..


person.
Determination helps you to go the extra-mile in accomplishing
your dreams. You need bull dog tenacity to enable you accomplish
anything worthwhile in life. Determination or persistence is what
carbon is to steel. Persistence to a goal is like a stamp stuck to an
envelope.

An Indian saint, Paramahansa Yogananda sat under a tree for the


whole day, praying for one of his disciples who had gone astray to
come back. And the disciple did return to him. Persistence is what
made Thomas Edison failed about ten thousand times before he
could discover the incandescent light bulb.

Persistence is what made a young journalist to stake his future on


researching the secrets that made men rich and why others
remained poor for twenty-five years. He went ahead to develop a
science of personal achievement which has transformed millions of
lives around the world. That man was Napoleon Hill.

Persistence was what made a young man who though was


incarcerated in one of the world,s deadliest prisons for twenty-
seven years, remain focused on the dream ahead of him. He was
not afraid to die because he knew that to live without a purpose is
to have died a million times over. He prefered to live full and die
empty. He understood the incredible power of the human spirit and
could not be broken by all the horrendous tortures in prison for
one reason-his vision. Today, Nelson Mandela, former president of
The Republic of South Africa, is a highly respected international
statesman.

Persistence is what Mahatma Gandhi used to resist the british


forces with the greatest weapon the world had ever seen at that
time-the weapon of non-resistance. He galvanized the entire Indian

RAYMOND OVIETARE 10
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

nation to have faith in themselves and be consistent with their


demands but never to use violence against the british.
He believed that forgiveness, love and non-resistance were more
effective forces that could conquer the minds of british soldiers. He
believed in mental and spiritual revolution than armed struggle. He
won and India gained their independence from their former
colonial masters.

In 1996,at the Atlanta Olympics games ,it was persistence that saw
the Nigerian under 23 soccer team come from a three goals deficit
to defeat the highly fancied brazilian team in the semi-finals stage.
They went on to win the gold medal with a resounding victory over
Argentina. Persistence is what made Daniel pray for twenty-one
days before he got the answer to his prayers through an angel. The
wise ones say it is not over until it is over.

Your dream will only remain a dream except you take massive and
consistent action in transforming it into reality. You need to set
daily goals for yourself to keep you on the road to your dream.
You need to employ the co-operation of others to help achieve
your goals faster and in a bigger way.

Persistence requires brain work, paper work, foot work and prayer
work. It will make you sweat. It will make you cry. It will keep
you awake in the night. It will make you shout. It will make you
humble. It will make you laugh. It will make you pray. It will make
you think and it will make you respect the inputs of others and
appreciate this great blessing we call life. It will make you develop
all the necessary qualities of visionary leadership and greatness
worthy of emulation.

No runner ran the race to the finish line without persistence. No


baby learnt how to walk without falling down several times as life
beckoned him or her on to keep on keeping on. No sperm cell
could fertilize an ovum without getting there first ahead of the

RAYMOND OVIETARE 11
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

other million sperm cells. Starting is good but finishing is better.


No matter how slow or unsure you started, you can finish strong.
You have to believe. You have to change strategies. Because
sometimes people do the wrong things and expect a favorable
result. Life doesn,t work that way.Doing the same thing and
expecting a different result is the beginning of insanity.

For you to get what you have never had, you have got to do what
you have never done. You have to be willing to be of immense
service to your fellow humans. And, success is guaranteed.

4.OBAMA
OBAMA is someone who can make a
decision and stick to it without
emotional attachment.
Quick decision makers have the ability to carry out their decisions.
Think your ideas through with all the facts available to you.
Napoleon Hill, the author of the all time bestseller, THINK AND
GROW RICH, made a decision before the late Andrew Carnegie
within twenty-nine seconds, that changed his life forever. That
decision led to a philosophy of personal achievement which has
positively influenced millions of people around the world.It was
endorsed by Mahatma Gandhi. It required quick thinking and
decision making .

A definite decision leads to definite actions. It is not in your


moment of despair but in your moment of decision that your
destiny is shaped. There are good decisions and bad decisions.
History is full of those who made great decisions and the world
became a better place because of that decision. Others, made grave
decisions that destroyed lives and bruised the psyche of the world
reeling it into temporary backward disintegration.

Adolf Hitler was one of such people. He wanted to conquer the


whole world. Six million Jews lost their lives because of his selfish
decision to become the world emperor and build a new Aryan race.
A young woman, s decision not to stand up for a white person in
her bus sparked up a great riot in America which eventually
transformed into the civil rights movement. Her name was Ruth
Montgomery. That decision lit a flame in the mind of a young
Baptist preacher who was determined to see race equality come
into reality in his time. Despite all the threat to his life, he did not
allow that to discourage him from the dream he had for America.

RAYMOND OVIETARE 13
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

One sad day, the world was shocked to its heels when the news
broke out that Rev. Martin Luther King jr. had been assassinated.
They killed the body but they could not kill the soul.They killed
the man but they could not kill the dream. The dream was already
alive in the hearts of millions of whites and African-Americans
who believed anything is possible. These group of people rose with
one voice, expressed through the power of the ballot that it was
time for a change we can believe in. Yes, we can, was the mantra
that flowed out of their bruised but determined lips every minute of
the day. The die was cast. It was based on a simple decision of
change they could believe in.

And, for this decision which like a relay baton had been passed
from one generation to another and to another, what sweeter,
enriching, vitalizing, world transforming, most endorsed and
celebrated victory can we ask for in the recent election of Barack
Obama as the first African-American and forty-fourth president
president of The United States of America.

What more evidence of joy do you need as the world saw tears
running down the cheeks of Rev. Jesse Jackson and Oprah
Winfrey? What more can you ask for as white, Indian, Asian and
African-Americans held hands while they looked ahead for a
better hope ; for a more united, prosperous, safe and respected
America; for a change they could believe in. The decision you
make today as an individual could help leap frog the world into
the next phase of accelerated growth-spiritually, mentally,
physically, relationally and financially.

With every death, comes a new cycle of birth. With every


depression, comes a new expression. The decisions by some wall
street and international business moguls had brought the U.S. and
the rest of the world into the current financial debacle. The
decisions that are been made right now by the G20 which comprise
of several influential world leaders will steer the world into a new

RAYMOND OVIETARE 14
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

direction of prosperity which the world has never seen if it is bereft


of greed, avarice, selfishness and hidden ulterior motives. The
world leaders should make decisions based on love and selfless
service to the planet earth.

Learn to make decisions even if things don’t work out as you


planned. The more decisions you make, the better decisions you
learn to make and the faster your progress comes in life. Start
making decisions today. Then, run with your ideas. The best time
is now.

cowed
The events of today, s world may make us lose faith in our God-
given abilities. The yeast to rise in life is in you. It needs the heat
of adversities to make you soar to the next level of your
assignment in life. You need a mountain to leap over. When you
get to a red sea in your life, God will give you the ideas and tools
with which to cross it. Life is all about growth. You grow into a
better you. We can all experience physical, mental, spiritual, and
financial growth when we strive to become more, when we work
on ourselves; when you make the demand for greatness on your
true nature.

There is a sleeping giant within you that needs to be awakened to


catapault you to the grand living, God destined for you.Awaken the
giant within you now.Awaken the millionaire within you.Awaken
the businessman within you.Awaken the preacher within you.Bring
out the god within you and transform the world around you.The
world is waiting to celebrate your greatness.

There was a young man who understood the principles of success


so well that the tangible evidence was everywhere for people to see
in the form of hotels, several businesses and houses that would
make any young man grin with envy. Every thing seem to go on
smoothly until it happened. A sudden calamity of wild fires
ravaged through the city living many properties in ruins and ashes.
The young man was not spared.

He lost his properties in the city inferno. As, the sad news got to
him that his last hotel had just been swallowed up by this
ambitious flame of destruction, he felt strongly hurt by the fact that
he lost all his manuscripts he had laboured to write for several

RAYMOND OVIETARE 16
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

years- manuscripts he had wished would help motivate young men


to be the best they were created to be. Relatives and friends
thought he would end up in the asylum like some of his
contemporaries. Other people felt he would commit suicide like a
few had done.

He closed his eyes and paused for a while. Who could imagine
what was going on through his mind? He gave a deep sigh, opened
his eyes and walked across the street to a store. He came back with
a notebook. With this he started writing again. He remained
focused. He believed that the creator was the source of ideas and
that if the creator helped him write the volumes of inspirational
writings that was consumed by the ill-fated fires, He could still do
it again and even much better. He knew he had not lost everything
because he was alive.

He knew that God was not through blessing him yet. He knew
failure was just success looking for a bigger way to happen. He
knew something good was about to happen to him; that
opportunities always rose out of the ashes of adversities. He went
ahead to publish his first book, titled , Pushing to the Front, which
became an instant bestseller. He built back his businesses to a more
grander scale and became the founder and publisher of Success
Magazine,which for over a century has transformed the lives of
millions of Americans and people around the world including
mine. That man was Orison Swett Marden. He was an embodiment
of inner strength, courage and fully demonstrated the audacity of
hope.

Orison Marden had control over his mind. He had the absolute
recognition of the truth that nothing had any power over him
except that which he gave it through his conscious thoughts or
feelings. He realized that tough times never last but tough people
do. He understood that weeping was for a night but joy comes in
the morning.

RAYMOND OVIETARE 17
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

He knew that when you are down in life, the only place left to go is
up. He knew you can go up when you start thinking the thoughts of
the highest. When you are married to your God-given vision, no
adversity can hold you down for long. The goliaths of this world
cannot crush you. The lions of economic hardships cannot
consume you because you have in you a greater lion.

There is a power, force, personality that is greater than all the


organized forces of disappointments, frustrations, failures, lack or
challenges that may come your way. Why? Because, you are
loaded with divinity-the power of true success.

In Orison, s words: “Job never discovered his full power, his


superb manhood, until he had lost all his material possessions;
until the bedoiuns had stolen his herds and burned his home,
and he himself had been attacked with boils and all sorts of
physical afflictions. But out of these terrible afflictions which
tested his character, came the light and strength which guided
him to the haven of peace, a greater material prosperity and a
higher manhood than before.

It was only when overwhelming sorrows and losses had


stripped him of his supposed friends, his family and everything
which he had thought worthwhile, and he was forced to depend
upon God alone, that he really found himself.”

RAYMOND OVIETARE 18

6.OBAMA represents a stable character and has the kind of


confidence Americans have admired in their leaders over the
years.

He believes strongly in his God-given inner resources. Consistency


of character is the beginning of life-long integrity. You need to
develop your own positive identity which even a little child can
identify with any time of the day. The world, s most sought after
currency today is TRUST. We can never have enough of it. Where
other currency denominations have failed, trust had stood the test
of time.The oxygen of any relationship is trust.

The live wire of any enduring business is trust. When a little child
looks into your eyes or puts those innocent hands into your hands,
that is trust. You cannot go far in life without this élan vital of
human relationships.

Trust is the offspring of the golden rule which instructs us to do


unto others as we want them to do unto us. Trust comes from
respect for your fellow man or woman. It means the proper
exchange of ideas, products, service for something of equal or
greater value.

The Americans need to trust each other more than ever. They need
to believe strongly in the Obama leadership to restore the hope of
the American dream. The Africans need to trust each other, care
for each other, love each other like never before. They must never
allow the illusionary barriers of religious bigotry or fanaticism or
diversionary tribal misadventures lead them into a self-destructive
abyss.

Let’s change from greed to giving; from selfishness to sharingness;


from injustice to justice; from enemies to friends. Let this be our
solemn vow. You also need to cultivate inner-self confidence. You

RAYMOND OVIETARE 19
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

cannot call yourself a self-made man or woman except you can


convince the whole world that you created yourself by yourself. I
doubt you did. But, one thing is certain. Every achievement you
have experienced in your entire life time has just been the creator
expressing it self through you. So, you are a higher self –made
person. Fan that desire within you, which is fueled by the oil of
love and bring it forward into the world.

The best sweeper is yet to be found. The best statesman or


stateswoman is still hiding yet to be revealed to the world. The best
preacher has not given the sermon yet. The best singer has not yet
wrapped the world with melodies untold. The best lawyer is yet to
give the oration that will rewrite the law books. The best doctor
has not yet discovered that drug that will draw man closer to the
end of his search for immortality. The world is waiting for you.

Don’t say you can’t. Don’t say it will happen in twenty years time.
That is the ego playing a silly trick on you. Life beckons on you
now to rise up and take your place on the throne of greatness. Life
pleads with you to establish your footprints on the sands of time as
a worthy ambassador of the creator, as a child of the most high
God.

What will you do now. There is no better time than now. Put
yourself together. Rise up on your feet and go and stake your claim
in this world.

7. OBAMA is a fantastic communicator.


He understands the power of words. You can build or destroy your
life with words. But in this book, we are only interested in
building. To know how Obama was in communicating, I will share
with you an e-mail sent to me by one of the ezines I subscribe to.
Read this:

In the small hours of Wednesday morning Barack Obama


emailed me personally to say thank you. "We have a lot of work
to do," he acknowledged. But, he went on, "I want to be very
clear about one thing...all of this happened because of you,
Thank you, Barack".

What Obama did brilliantly throughout his long 21 month


campaign was to communicate with everyone who had
previously bothered to contact him. All I'd done was to visit his
website one day and punch in my email address and from that
moment on he kept me informed every step ofthe way.

And his marketing message was motivational, punchy, well


written, oh... and quite often it asked me to whip out my credit
card too and hand over some cash.

So what's the big lesson from Obama?

That's simple.... continue to communicate!

Don't get hold of an email address and let it go cold. Work your
list by providing useful, relevant information and tips and then
when you do have something to sell you're more likely to get a
positive response.

Too many of us work hard to build up an email marketing list


because we've heard that the money is in the list, but then we
forget to actually put it to good use by remembering to
communicate with our readers.

RAYMOND OVIETARE 21
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

Most people put a large part of Barack Obama's success down


to his ability to use the internet for marketing. If you're trying
to build your own recession proof online business then 100%
of your success will come down to your online ability.

So learn from a master.

Obama was able to successfully communicate with the American


citizens. He had developed some incredible mastery in the written
and spoken word. The influenciers of this world are master
communicators.

You cannot rise to really great heights unless you have learnt how
to communicate to yourself and to the rest of the world. You need
to learn how to communicate with your subconscious mind. You
need to inform and persuade it about the direction you want your
life to go. The subconscious mind is a faithful and obedient servant
but it relies on repetition of ideas. You need to keep telling it what
you want it to believe. When your outer thoughts and inner
thoughts become one, you will be full of power to manifest more
success in your life.

Communication also involves your physiology. You cannot say


one thing and your body language sends out a different message.
People read your body language faster than what you say. Let your
body movement match your words.

Obama sold hope like coca-cola. He was a master salesman. He


realized that many believed he was young, in-experienced and
coloured and therefore he did not have what it takes to be
commander in chief of the united states. He knew some the U.S
issues and policies were facing high unpopularity ratings.

He believed in change and therefore spoke more on what brought


about the change in policies – values. According to George
Lakeoff and Rockridge Institute playbook,Thinking
Points,”Issues are secondary…not irrelevant or unimportant. A

RAYMOND OVIETARE 22
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

position on issues and policies should symbolize those values.”


Obama concentrated on values and principles. He stood up for
what he believed in. He empathized and connected with people he
was talking to. He not only spoke to their minds but he touched
their hearts. He went from talking to them to connecting with them
on a sublimnal level. He put passion into his words and related
with the average American. He identified with them. He knew that
change begins from within.

If you want to change the world, it begins with changing yourself.


You need to develop values which will move you to the next level
of personal growth. You cannot rise in consciousness if you remain
stuck to your present values. Choose new values which will mould
new belief systems and create new experiences.

Believe strongly in your ideas. Find a most effective way to


communicate these ideas to those who will help you bring it into
reality.

RAYMOND OVIETARE 23
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

8.OBAMA is a big thinker.


Thinking small never got anybody far in life. It lacks enthusiasm or
passion. It is not inspiring enough. You cannot achieve much when
you are not fired up with a lofty ideal. We are beings of greatness
and cannot be held back by small thinking when we decide to
constantly push ourselves into the field of infinite possibilities.

Donald Trump has consistently been an advocate of thinking big.


Thinking big is opening up yourself to infinite possibilities where
the universe is always saying yes. Thinking big allows you to
gather momentum towards your goals. It expands your thinking
process. Thinking big enables you to become magnetic to
opportunities silently beckoning for recognition. It draws to you
people with various skills, talents, resources, ideas and expertise
that can help you achieve your big goals.

Thinking big fuels your positive mental attitude. Obama thought


big. While some of his colleagues were content of being just
lawyers or governors, he wanted the biggest job in America. He
wanted to be president of the united states of America. Initially,
people did not believe him but he believed in himself. Obama
remained focused. The rest is history.

Thomas Edison was a big thinker ,when he believed he could


invent the incandescent bulb ,to enable us have our homes
illuminated. Many people thought he was losing his mind but he
proved them wrong. The wright brothers believed man could fly
with the aid of a machine. They were considered candidates for
the neighbourhood asylum. Their beliefs came to pass. Today,man
even flies to the moon at will. Soon, man will be able to fly
without any object. The ability is inherent but we must mine the
ore of personal achievement to draw out the treasure of greatness
within.

God did not create second class beings. We were created as first
class beings because we and the father are one. There is a giant
sleeping within you. It wants to make you successful. It wants to
make rich. It wants to make you God realized. It wants to make
you a blessing to humanity. It has skills that can help you
transform this earth to heaven; to bring it into a state of harmony,
peace, bliss, opulence, goodness, order and gratitude.

Heaven begins with your state of mind. If you can’t experience


heaven, you can’t experience it without. God is a big thinker. You
are His child. Thinking big is your birthright. Lift yourself out of
mediocrity. Think big, today.

RAYMOND OVIETARE 25

9.OBAMA believes in the power of the


mastermind.
No man can achieve massive greatness by himself. He needs the
maximum co-operation of other people. Trying to achieve every
goal with only our personal strengths may not take us far. The
greater service you want to give to humanity, the more people you
will need to help you achieve your goal.

Obama had a plan to be president but the plan would have been
useless if he did not have people who could take action on the
plans. He needed expertise he did not have. He got the best brains
together. Jesus Christ is a name popular in many countries. He had
twelve disciples. This was a mastermind that helped to form
Christianity which has been around for about 2000 years. Great
success requires great work and great work comes from great
minds. We are meant to help and support each other. Jesus Christ
said where two or three are gathered in his name, he will be there
in their midst. This is power of the master mind.

10.Obama believes he can help


America hunt down terrorists .
The first terrorists we should hunt down are the terrorists of the
heart: terrorists of anger, unforgiveness, selfishness, greed, fear,
hatred and the terrorists outside will disappear. Change your
thinking and your world will change. What the world needs now is
not war but love. True world religions preach peace and love. They
appreciate the brotherhood of man and that there is only one God,
Spirit and infinite intelligence that is controlling the affairs of the
universe. The creator did not create robots who would be
controlled even against their own will.

God created us in His image and likeness. He created you and me


just like Himself. He put in us all the divine qualities that could
make us transform the earth. He gave us the power of choice. Love
gives room for expression. Love does not think of evil and does
not envy. Love bears all things and it is not filled with pride. God
is love and if we are created like Him, we should be the
expressions of love in our universe. We should love ourselves
unconditionally.

In loving ourselves, we also learn to love .How can you treat others
well when you hate yourself. Terrorist do not love themselves.
They believe the world is against them. They are afraid to face life
and its hidden blessings which comes as challenges. They only
dwell on negativity and when they are saturated with this train of
negative thoughts, they now find a form of expression. Out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Let the words of your
mouth and the meditation of your heart be at one with infinite
goodness. There is no one after you except you.

The world cannot be forced to embrace good through the use of


bullets and bombs. There is a power greater than all the arms of

nations stock piled for an evil day which can only be created by
man if he chooses the path of pride, greed, war and avarice. The
greatest weapon in the world is LOVE. It is in your heart. Share it
and you will always have more to share. The universe will always
respond to the gesture of love by giving you more love than you
can hold. Share the love you have with the world now.

11.Obama understands the sacred


responsibility of power.
America needs a very compassionate leader that will help usher
more peace into our present world. Peace comes through dialogue
and Obama is the best man to help initiate the peace process in the
world.

Power is to be able understand that we are different in some areas


and we also have areas of common interests. If we can focus on
our areas of common interests and see how we can use it to better
the lot of humanity, we would have taken a major step in bringing
heaven to earth. We will all feel secured and feel really powerful.

Emmet Fox, wrote in one of his one of his books that, "If you can
love enough you will be the most powerful person in the world". If
you want to be powerful, become a total expression of love.

12.Obama is a humble person.


person

No matter how tall a tree is, the root is always in the soil. The
deeper the root, the taller the tree. Humility is a product of
divinity. When you know that of your own self you cannot do
anything; when you realize it is God that works through you to
bring about the ideas, products and services that is adding value to
the world, then, you will never let the thought of victory get into
your head.

Humility enables you to trust in the infinite in all you do. Where do
ideas come from? The general answer is that they come from
space. Where does space come from? Have we ever bothered to
ask? We are all in God and God is in us even if many do not know.
God is the the first idea and He continues to radiate infinite ideas
into the universe that will make the world a better place. You and I
are not human beings having spiritual experiences.

We are spiritual beings having human experiences. And we live in


God’s world and the world that is the figment of the imagination of
humanity. We create our world through our thoughts, words and
actions. Humility reminds us that, of our own selves we can do
nothing. It is the Father within that is the doer. The Christ creates a
path of infinite possibilities for you if you hearken to his voice.
Surrender your will to the will of LOVE. Surrender yourself to the
higher self. Make yourself available for the force of good and you
will become the embodiment of goodness.

13.He knew the power of money.


money
He understood the principle of cash flow. While other politicians
were looking forward to people who could donate large sums of
money for their campaigns, he believed in the power of little. He
encouraged Americans to contribute their little and much. The
response was very impressive.

Businesses do not grow wealthy overnight. It takes consistent


growth to bring about financial stability. Your regular savings of
little amount of money will plant and nourish your money tree.
Little things can lead to bigger things. Money is neutral. It can be
used positively or negatively. It needs to be controlled and not
control.

Most people think that having more money will make them happy.
Maybe, a little. Money doesn’t bring you happiness because you
already have it. Happiness is an inside job. It is free. Happiness is
experienced when you learn to love yourself. Self love is a catalyst
for enjoying the happiness within you. The happier you become
the more wealth you will experience.

Webster’s Dictionary defines money as a medium of exchange, a


measure of value, or a means of payment. Simply, money is what
people use to buy things. Money came in many forms like stones,
beads, feathers, animal skins, cowries and shells. The use of coins
started in 600 BC in Turkey and paper money came into being in
China in the year 1300.

People do not have enough money because they do not have a


prosperity consciousness. Prosperity is not having lots of money.
People have won millions of dollars in lotteries and still ended
their lives in the poor house. They did not have the consciousness

RAYMOND OVIETARE 31

for the kind of money they encountered. Their consciousness


repelled money than they attracted. The energy of money is
inherent in us. It is part of our force field. When you develop a
prosperity consciousness, money naturally flows to you. But you
should have a service or product to exchange for that money.
Every physical thing in this world is made up of one substance.
That includes money. The acronym for money is My Own
Natural Energy Yield.
Money is available to every human being in the natural energy
form. Unless you express your energy through your talents, skills
and ideas, money cannot be attracted to you in large quantity. The
Spirit of grace can send little handouts to sustain you. This is
temporary and cannot make you rich if you do not roll up your
sleeves and work. When you work, you use energy and this comes
back to you in form of money. It is just one of the ways the
universe chooses to say THANK YOU.

14.Obama understands the power of


gratitude.

Gratitude begins with your finding yourself in this universe and


discovering that preparation has been made for you as regards
opportunities. It is being grateful for the gift called life. It is proof
of surrender to a higher power that is omni-good and omniscient.
Obama had never made a speech where he did not express
gratitude in one form or the other.

Gratitude connects us with the source of life. This infinite


intelligence manifests more good in our lives as we make it a habit
to say thank you. In the The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace
Wattles says: “There is a law of gratitude, and if you are to get
the results you seek, it is absolutely necessary that you should
observe this law.

Wattles continues: “You cannot exercise much power without


gratitude because it is gratitude that keeps you connected with
power. The creative power within us makes us into the image of
that to which we give our attention. The grateful mind is
constantly fixed upon the best, therefore it will receive the best.”

If we are grateful all the time, we will remain focused on the good
of life. The more we focus on the good the more we focus on God
because God is the ultimate good. Whatever we focus on we attract
into our lives. If we focus on complaints or negativities, we attract
more complaints and negativity into our lives. The more we focus
on prosperity, health, positivity, mercy, the more of these qualities
that will be experienced in and around us.

Our thoughts follow our focus. Energy follows our thoughts.


Gratitude sends messages to the universe that we are okay.I t tells
the universe we have enough. It is a statement of abundance.

Wallace also says: “People who can sincerely be thankful for


things which they own only in imagination have real faith. They
will get rich; they will cause the creation of whatever they want.”

Jesus Christ of the bible demonstrated several times the power of


gratitude. He started many prayers by first thanking the infinite
intelligence which he called father. Miracles of healings and plenty
followed him wherever he went because of gratitude. You can
never say thank you to the universe enough because you can never
out give the universe. Gratitude keeps you in the flow of life and
makes you understand that the most important time in your life is
now. It does not mean you should accept unfavorable situations in
your life as your destiny.

Gratitude is the state of mind that enables you to see the fortunate
in every unfortunate situation.It enable you look for the seed of
equivalent benefit in that unfavorable situation.Gratitude is not
satisfaction or total contentment with the status quo but
appreciation for the good in the present situation as you move
towards your true ideal.

Gratitude is also your ability to forgive yourself of your past


failures while you push forward towards your dream. It is your
ability to forgive everyone as been responsible for any
unfavourable circumstance you may find yourself in. Gratitude
starts with loving or liking yourself.

Gratitude makes you a giver because you believe you have enough.
You accept the universe as your friend. Gratitude is not just a state
of mind. It is an action. That action is giving. When we give 10%
of our gross or net income to religious organizations, charities or

RAYMOND OVIETARE 34
THE OBAMA SUCCESS KEYS

spiritual leaders, we are expressing our gratitude through our


substance. Giving keeps us in tune with infinite abundance but you
must remember to do the work required. Giving keeps you
effectively established in the flow of life as an inlet and outlet for
unlimited good.

In Father Divine,s words: "Jesus knew that the small amount


came from GOD, and realizing the Truth, He gave thanks to
GOD for the bread, not giving thanks to man, not giving thanks
to the boy, not saying, 'Well, if it had not been for this little boy,'
etc., and then someone else did not come up and say, 'Well, if it
had not been for his mother who cooked it,' etc. There the whole
world would have gone back in darkness, giving honor to
materialism, but it is written He gave thanks to GOD for the
bread. He could have said, 'I thank you little boy for bringing
this bread along.' Then the Apostles could have got into the
argument. And then some of the ladies could have got into it and
said, 'Well, you thank his mother because she was the one told
him to bring it knowing he would be hungry.' Especially the
women.

Then if Jesus had been a natural man, the men would have come
up and said, 'Well, his father was the one that earned the money
to pay for the bread, so give him the glory.' But Jesus went right
to the Source and got the supply. If you don't go to the Source,
Dear Ones, you cannot get the supply. Now all the glory goes to
GOD for everything I have ever received……Give praise. Give
thanks. When you find anything apparently going wrong, at least
when you find it, you should concentrate on Something better
and get your mind unadulteratedly concentrated on that
Something Better."

As long as you remember that you are in God and God is in you ,
gratitude will become the permanent state of your life.
