Not looking for gaurantees- The Real Secret To Success.

11 11 2008

Hello All.
Let me you in on a little secret that great successful people know.

The secret is that you have to be willing to do things that have no Guaranteed results. This can mean means that you go after things that you know won’t pay you money (at first). That means ask highly successful people questions that you know there is a high chance you will get rejected.

Yes that is the secret. The secret is to train yourself to become very comfortable with uncertainty. We have been conditioned to believe that there are answers to every single question. We have been trained to always go for the path that is safer and secure. This conditioning comes from a place of mediocrity.

The truth is the more comfortable you become with uncertainty the more you come in direct contact with your fears. The more you understand your fears, the more likely you are to understand yourself. You see that’s how it works, you have to prove to yourself that you will do whatever it takes to succeed but by being in a state of not knowing what is going to happen next… is the real secret to success.

Nothing in life is guaranteed, the more you are comfortable with that idea, the more success will flow towards you.

The Difference Between Being and Having

1 02 2009

Hello all.
There is a difference between being and having. Being is a state of mind, while having are the effects of being. Being is something you are, it is your essence, having is just stuff you acquired because of who you were. For example a real salespersons job is to sell. That is who they are. They sell. If they are good at what they do, they are rewarded with money. Money is what they now have, but it isn’t what they are. They are a salesperson first, and the money comes second. That is why they say “man makes the money, but money never makes the man.”
When you focus on being, and who you are, the secondary things like money come along. I don’t understand why people work so hard for money, and forget about who they really are. When you work hard for the money and who you are being is lost, isn’t that the same thing as someone trying to find meaning in life?

Being is when you know that what you are doing is in alignment with who you really are. When it is out of alignment, then you are not “being” you. Your emotions will guide you in telling you if you are in alignment or not. For example, if something you are doing feels like a major struggle and your health is in jeopardy from what you are doing, there is a good chance you are not being you. If however you feel a strong good energetic feeling, aliveness, and goodness in your body there is a good chance you are being you and what you are doing is alignment with who you are. You have the capacity to be the real you, when you sit down and listen to the inner voice that is present in all of us. You will begin to be aware of amazing and awesome experiences when you tap into this energy of yourself. Opportunites, events, and the right people will manifest because you have focused on being.

Being is primary, having is secondary.

I will Write about Something Good-Positive Energy

30 11 2008

Today I am going to blog about something Good. This blog is pure positive good energy. Being positive is very natural for some people, while other have to logically try to still see if it makes sense. However my worry is that people try to analyze the concept of positive energy “too much” and actually go in the opposite end of what Positive energy really is.

Positive energy is something you feel more than anything else. Positive energy is the key factor in achieving beyond success in anything you undertake. It is the fuel that makes the process much more exciting and worthwhile.
When I take on projects, I only take them on if it feels right. When I say feels right, I have to know that there is enough positive energy into what I’m doing, or I just cut it out completely. Energy goes where Intention goes. So if you intend on positive you receive positive experiences. If you intend on negative you receive negative experiences.
Letting your positive emotions guide you is usually the best thing to do when determining which direction to go.

What I can say with certainty is that positive energy feels better than negative energy.

Letting your positive emotions guide you is usually the best thing to do when determining which direction to go.

How To Enjoy Your Day.

(Post Via. Beyond Success-Baker Blog)

Hello all.
Enjoying your day is easy once you realize that you can create it to be enjoyable. First, you must acknowledge and accept the fact that you can have an enjoyable day. When you recognize that you deserve an enjoyable day, the next steps become a lot more smoother. When you intend on enjoying your day, you will begin to look for things and events that allow your day to be enjoyable. There are many people living on default. This means that many people become robots to what they do on a regular basis. Many people feel that life just happens to them, and go through the motions. This can change with practice.

If you wake up in the morning and literally intend to enjoy your day, and focus on enjoyment, there is a great chance that things that come up during the day will be enjoyable. This is because you are seeking it out. Even when something really bad happens during the day, the way you deal with that circumstance might even be better this time around because your intentions were to see the good in the situation.

Enjoying your day needs to be concluded with a nice reward for yourself. When you have completed the day, by focusing on enjoying your day, do something really good for yourself such as buying a small scoop of your favorite ice cream or something you consider rewarding. When you reward yourself for enjoying your day, you will be training your mind to continue to have more enjoyable days ahead. Enjoy the process of enjoying your day and habitually practice rewarding yourself. This is positive reinforcement at it’s finest.

I suggest to look for the enjoyment in the small things. When you start to notice the little things in life that you may find enjoyable, these are generally the best things to focus on. Regardless if people find what you do boring or strange, continue to do it, if it is what you want, and is enjoyable for you.
For example, I really like going to the bookstore and reading books. I may or may not purchase a book. However, this is very enjoyable for me. Some people don’t like reading books. But I do it because it brings me joy. It’s a small thing, that I know makes a big difference in my life.

The combination of intending to enjoy your day at the start of the day, and rewarding yourself with something you like for accomplishing enjoying your day actually creates more enjoyable days for you in the future, and makes life a lot more fun. This is what it means to live an abundant lifestyle. There is so much good to go around for you once you realize that you can train yourself to accept it.
Once you get in a nice flow of intending, accepting, and rewarding yourself for creating enjoyable days for yourself, more enjoyable days are certain to come to you.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Why Your Conviction Progresses You Towards Your Goals.

Photo By: http://www.transpersonaltherapy.com



Hello all.
There are people who wish for things to happen. Such statements from a wishful person are " I wish to be rich" There are people who believe in things. Such statements of a believer include, "I believe I can be succesful."

Then there are those that have conviction. A statement made out of conviction is :" I know I will be succesful, I take action steps each day to make this a reality."

A wish is something that someone thinks about and it diminishes as quickly as the thought came about. A belief is something you hold longer than you wish and may take some action on. But a conviction is something you know will come to pass and you take small daily action steps towards that goal being fulfilled.

Our society is a mixture of wishful thinkers and believers. We currently only have enough people that live with conviction. A person who is convinced knows that they will eventually be where they set their mind to. They take actions steps. This is the advanced version of someone who believes, because they are doing what it takes to make their goal a reality. A conviction is an inner knowing that you already have what you are searching for, and you prove this with how you act and how you behave.
If you want to really make a difference in your way of life, you need conviction. Conviction puts your belief and ideas into progressive action. You will be amazed and astounded at the results you are producing once you live out of conviction.

Conviction on a belief is what makes you progress towards your goals.

Learning at Different Speeds-Learning In An Exciting Way.

Hello all.
Life is one big classroom. We are all hear to learn things we don't know yet. There are many lessons we must learn here on earth. There are lessons such as forgiveness, non-judgment, acceptance, compromise, trust, responsibility, and the list goes on. When we realize and start to enjoy the learning experiences, a sense of joy and enthusiasm manifests in your life. When you begin to see the learning process as fun and not something to dread, you are staying ahead of the learning curve. The interesting thing about life is that we all learn at different speeds. There are 70 year old people that may still need to learn the lesson of forgiveness and letting go of past hurts. While there may be a 15 year old that learned that already, but has something else to learn in life, such as responsibility. There is a wide range of lessons that we need to learn on earth. When someone is learning something that you've already learned it is a good idea to be non-judgmental. Allow the person to learn the life lesson.
There are different speeds and different lessons that we are put here to learn, but knowing that obstacles and challenges are really just making us better, is the key ingredient to learning in an exciting way.

The Little Engine That Could.

10 01 2009

Hello all.
Do you remember the story of the little engine that could? Well the story goes that there was a little engine that had to go up this hill. I think it was a train…But people said he was too small, not strong enough. All day long that little engine said this phrase as he was going up the hill. “I think I could, I think I could…” He was affirming and intending his way to get to where he wanted to be. The top of the hill. As the story goes he eventually reached his destination.
Did it matter how small of an engine/train it was?

How powerful are the words and thoughts we are constantly telling ourselves?

Henry Ford said it best.

“Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.”

The Power of Vision Boards

Hello.
I’d like to give you a brief description of what a Vision Board is according to Cornelis Boertjens
CEO of OrangePeel Vision Boards.

A vision Board is A very powerful way to use visualization is by creating a so called “Vision Board”, also known as a “Dream Board”. It is one of the most powerful ways to put the law of Attraction to work for you. A Vision Board is a collage of pictures of the goals and dreams you want to attract in your life. Important is to really use the exact image of what you want to attract, as whatever you show on your Vision Board will become part of your reality! So if you want a specific kind of car, make sure it is exactly the type, model and color you desire.

A very basic and fun way of creating a Vision Board is by taking a big piece of carton, scissors, glue and tons of magazines. Go through the magazines and search for images of your dreams, or search for the right images on the internet. Cut out the images and glue them on your cardboard. For more power, add affirmations such as “I love driving my new Porsche” or “I spend lots of quality time with my family”. This reinforces what you desire. Hang your cardboard on a spot where you will see it on a very regular basis, such as at your desk or in the kitchen. Look at it daily, and really FEEL as if you have already achieved the things on your Vision Board. Look at your Board as often as possible with focused intent. You will be surprised to see the things on your Vision Board show up in your life –sooner or later- providing you keep putting your intention on them and stay positive.

By looking at your Vision Board on a consistent (daily) basis, you will manifest the life you truly desire and deserve!
