IAMREALIZED™ The Inner Laws of Real Wealth
The Pendulum Swings
Psalm 30:5 KJV
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
PART 5 — FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE
The Principle of Rhythm: The Pendulum Always Swings
Everything flows in and out. Everything rises and falls. This is the Principle of Rhythm.
Wealth, like all things, moves in cycles—giving and receiving, expansion and contraction, visibility and obscurity. This law reminds you that no state is permanent. When you feel down, the upswing is already building. When you’re in overflow, wisdom prepares for the quieter tide.
Understanding rhythm removes the fear of fluctuation. It teaches you to ride the wave, not resist it.
Just as tides go out and return again, so too does abundance flow in rhythm with your awareness.
This doesn’t mean you’re at the mercy of life’s ups and downs. It means you learn to observe the swing without being thrown by it. Rhythm, once understood, becomes a tool.
The IAMREALIZED™ way recognizes rhythm not as threat but as teacher.
When you rise above the pendulum’s extremes emotionally, you master your financial flow spiritually.
PART 5 — PRACTICAL APPLICATION FOR DIVIDEND INVESTING
Step 1: Know the Market Moves in Cycles
Stock prices go up. Stock prices come down. Dividend yields rise, then compress. These swings are not a reason to panic. They are proof that rhythm is always in play.
Ask:
“What am I reacting to right now—a swing or a signal?”
“What is the deeper rhythm behind this shift?”
Step 2: Choose Inner Stability Amid Outer Change
When a market correction occurs, many panic and sell out of rhythm with wisdom. Instead, remain anchored in peace.
If you’re in a downturn, remember joy comes in the morning.
If you’re in a harvest season, prepare for winter without fear.
Your emotional equilibrium is more important than your financial balance sheet.
Step 3: Invest With Rhythmic Wisdom
Build investing habits that honor rhythm.
Automate monthly contributions and stay consistent.
Reinvest dividends regardless of market swings.
Celebrate gains without greed. Welcome pullbacks without despair.
Rhythm creates maturity. Let your portfolio reflect patience.
Step 4: Use Rhythm-Based Affirmations
Speak aloud:
“I am steady through every cycle.”
“I move in harmony with divine financial timing.”
“I trust the rise and I trust the fall. I am guided in both.”
Step 5: Return to the Scripture Daily
Psalm 30:5
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
This is not just comfort. It’s law. Downturns precede upturns. Joy follows grief. Awareness of this cycle anchors your wealth mindset.
Step 6: Ask Integration Questions
How do I typically react when money flows out?
What rhythm is currently at play in my finances—giving or receiving?
Where am I resisting life’s natural cycles instead of flowing with them?
Step 7: Start a Rhythm Reflection Practice
Each week, track:
What part of the cycle you feel in: expansion, contraction, or stillness
What emotional response arises in each rhythm
What new perspective helps you stay aligned no matter what
You are not here to control the tides. You are here to learn to sail them.
