Believe in Yourself (Video Part 4 of 6)

 

 

Believe in Yourself

 

If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. You have to believe that you have the right stuff, and you are able to pull it off.

 

Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes—the abilities, the inner resources, the talents and the skills to create your desired results.

 

Now, believing in yourself is simply an attitude. Believing in yourself is a choice.You have to choose to believe that you can do anything you set your mind to -- anything at all -- because, in fact, you can.

 

It might help you to know that the latest brain research now indicates, with enough positive self-talk and positive visualization, combined with proper training, coaching, and practice, anyone can learn to do almost anything.

 

Now, I have interviewed thousands of successful people, and almost every one of them told me, "I was not the most gifted or talented person in my field, but I chose to believe that anything was possible. And because of that I studied, I practiced, and I worked harder than the others, and that's how I got to where I am.

 

"If Ruben Gonzales, a 20-year old living in Texas, hot Texas, can take up the luge, which is a winter sport, and become an Olympic athlete...If Bill Gates who was a college drop-out, can become a billionaire...and Stephen J. Cannal a dyslexic student who failed three grades in school, can become a bestselling author and television producer...then you, too, can accomplish anything if you will simply believe it is possible.

 

So, make the decision right now to believe that you create all of your experiences, because you do! Let's start creating the ones you want by believing you can.Sounds a little strange, but accepting this level of responsibility is uniquely and inevitably empowering. It means you can do, change, and become anything at all.

The Importance of Believing It's Possible (part 3 of 6)

Believe It Is Possible

Scientists used to believe that humans responded to information flowing into the brain from the outside world. But what we now know is that instead, we respond to what the brain -- based on previous experience -- expects to happen next.

In fact, the mind is such a powerful instrument; it can deliver literally everything you want through the power of positive expectation.
 
But you have to believe that what you want is possible.
This is why it's so important to always hold a positive expectation that what you want is going to happen. It is simply a choice and a discipline of the mind.

And as you commit to believing in yourself, also make a commitment to toning down the negative thinking and the complaints that you have in the complaint department of your head. Look at what you are complaining about. Think of all the things we complain about...
I'm fat. I'm tired. I can't get out of debt. I won't ever find a better job. I can't stand the relationship I have with my father. I'll never find a soul mate in this lifetime.

Take the time to really examine your complaints because more than likely these are things you can actually do something about. These are not things being controlled by other people, other things or other events. They are things YOU can take constructive action on.

And when you replace your old negative expectations with more positive ones... when you begin to believe that what you want truly is possible... your brain will actually take over the job of figuring out how to accomplish that possibility for you.

It will start to come up with creative ideas. It will start noticing resources and people in your environment that were always there, that can help you, and it will attract people and opportunities into your life.

And ... better than that ... your brain will actually start to expect to achieve that outcome. But first you have to choose to believe that what you want is possible. Even if it feels like you are lying to yourself at first, I promise you...if you keep it up for 30 days in a row, and you're going to start noticing some amazing results.

Activating The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is the most powerful law in the universe. And, just like gravity, it is always operating whether you are aware of it or not. Simply put, the Law of Attraction says that you will attract into your life whatever you focus on. Whatever you give your energy and attention to will be
magnetized to you. This means whatever you think about, talk about, read about, watch on television, listen to on the radio, worry about, fantasize about, and feel strongly about, you will attract more of it into your life. Therefore, if you stay focused on all the good and positive things in your life, you will automatically draw to yourself more good and positive things. Likewise, if you focus on lack and negativity, then that is what you will draw to yourself.

How can you use the “Law of Attraction” to enhance our life?

The key to utilizing the Law of Attraction is to constantly focus on, talk about, visualize, and expect to receive that which you want-not what you don’t want. To use this Law to your benefit, you have to quit talking about your unwanted current reality and do two things instead: 1) appreciate and celebrate that which you already have; and 2) focus on, talk about, believe, visualize, affirm, and expect that all you desire is already on its way to you. Maintain a constant focus on your vision. Keep your eye and your conversation on what you are already grateful for and what you are creating.

Get started today...
Take time to clarify exactly what you want in every area of your life without limiting yourself by worrying about how you are going to get it. Then write a vivid and complete “ideal scene” of what it will look, sounds, and feel like when you actually have it. Do this for every aspect of your ideal vision-job and career, finances, health and fitness, relationships, fun and recreation, possessions, personal and spiritual growth, and the contribution you want to make to the world.

Next, create a vision board-either in the form of a vision book or a screen saver-that contains visual images of your vision already manifested. Take time every day to close your eyes and visualize each ideal scene as already complete, and, most importantly, to feel the feelings you would feel if you had already achieved this goal or a desire.

Next, release your request to the universe. Trust that you are now attracting the ideas, people, resources, money, and opportunities will start coming into your awareness. Pay attention to them.
The next step is to begin taking action on the creative impulses you receive. For example, if you want to be a doctor, the obvious actions are to study anatomy, biology, and biochemistry, apply to medical school, and so on. Inspired actions, on the other hand, arise from your intuition, during meditation, or occur to you as sudden impulses that have a deep feeling of rightness to them. An example might be that one afternoon you get this overwhelming urge to take some cookies to the elderly woman who lives down the street who always treated you kindly when you were a kid, so you do. When she invites you into her house, she introduces you to her nephew who is visiting, and he turns out to be the Dean of the Harvard Medical School.

Finally, the full utilize the law of Attraction in your life, you have to become a vibrational match with whatever it is you want to attract into your life. This means creating and maintaining an emotional state that matches the one you will experience when you actually get the thing you are focusing on. If your goal is to be rich, you need to focus on feeling abundant now. You can do this by appreciating what you already have, and continually finding more and more things to be grateful for. You can do it by being generous with what you already have. Most importantly, you do it by thinking abundant thoughts and feeling rich right now.

If your desire is to attract your soulmate into your life, start feeling happy about the relationships that you already enjoy. Act as if you are already loved and adored. Pamper yourself. Buy yourself flowers. Clean up your house or apartment the way you would if you were expecting company. Bring closure to your past relationships by forgiving any hurts and appreciating all the good things that you experienced. Let go of any resentments, guilt, or hurt you might be carrying from the past. Find appreciation for the lessons you’ve learned from previous lovers so that you can be free of the past and live in genuine state of positive excitement about the future.

3 Simple Distinctions to FAST-TRACK Your Manifesting

How to (Literally) Manifest Anything You Want... WITHOUT Vision Boards, Affirmations or Other Lame Tricks

This brand new video (14 mins) shares three critical distinctions that can (literally) help you "manifest" whatever it is you want. And I do mean anything. Strangely, nobody ever talks about this stuff... even though it's super easy to do.

How to Get Motivated When You're Feeling Uninspired

We all have those days when we just don't feel like doing the work associated with achieving our goals, so the question is: How do you get motivated when you're feeling uninspired?

It's as simple as finding the motivating factor - the thing that will inspire you to take the next step.
But what if the thing that normally motivates you isn't working today - right now when you need it?

 How do you get motivated and inspired to do what you need to do?

Find a new motivator.

First, identify your usual motivating factor by clarifying what normally leads you to action: The pleasure of achieving the desired end result or the pain of avoiding an unwanted result.

In other words, every decision you make is based on the positive attraction to the pleasure of the benefits (pleasure) or in the negative avoidance of the pain of the penalties (pain).

When you find the dominant motivator (pleasure or pain) all you have to do is leverage it to inspire you to take action.

For instance, some days you may be motivated by pleasure, other days it might be by pain. Pay attention to the days you feel especially inspired to get motivated. Are those days when you feel most inspired driven predominantly by pleasure of the doing or pain of not doing? (This is your usual motivating factor.)

Tip: Log your personal motivators in a journal or notebook to identify your personal motivators and patterns to help you better manage your actions and goal achievement.

When you discover your personal motivator factor, you know what to switch up on the days when you feel uninspired.
If you're feeling uninspired, start by asking yourself these questions:

What are the Results If I Do The Work?

This is the pleasure motivator... when you're motivated to do the work because of the benefits it brings.

If you're feeling uninspired, this is the first question to ask yourself. You may not feel like going to the gym, but the benefits of doing the work inspires you to take the action you need in order to achieve the end results.

Ask yourself:

What are the end results when I do the work?
Keep going:

Are the end results, regardless of the work that has to be done at this moment, enough to motivate me? Is my desire for the end results deep enough to get me to do what I need to do now to achieve a future goal?

If you're inspired to do the work, you've found your motivating factor. Take action NOW, before your inspiration wavers!

What are the Results If I Don't Do The Work?

If the pleasure of doing the work isn't enough to get you motivated, perhaps the pain of not doing the work will be enough to get you going?
Using the same example of going to the gym, let's approach it from a different angle:

Perhaps, up until this point, you haven't been able to motivate yourself to do what you need to do by thinking about the benefits of doing the work. In this case, the pleasure motivator isn't working, so you've got to approach it from another angle: the pain motivator.

Ask yourself:

What are my end results if I don't do the work?

Keep going:

Are these the end results I truly desire? Am I willing to sacrifice or undo my previous efforts? Am I willing to delay achieving a goal I deeply desire?
If you're inspired to do the work, you've found your motivating factor. Take action NOW, before your inspiration wavers!
Still feeling uninspired? Ask yourself this additional question.

Am I Willing To Pay The Price?

Good, bad, short-term, long-term - there are consequences to every decision you make. (Even a non-decision cannot escape the consequences... ) If you're still not motivated to take action, there are only a few questions left to ask:

Am I willing to pay the price for action or non-action?
Am I willing to accept the consequences of my decision?
Am I making this choice so that I won't regret my decision, or will I regret it later?

Either way, you will come to a decision to take action or not to take action - and either is okay. Whatever you decide - own it. Own the decision, own the consequences and remember that tomorrow is a brand new day. What you choose to do is just as important as what you choose not to do.

Tip: Beware not to use your decisions to feel guilty about your shortcomings. Everyone has down days - everyone has days when rest is more important than action. Do not set goals that set you up to feel guilty, set you up for failure, or are someone else's goals for you. Commit to goals that carry a deep desire so the desire propels your motivation. If you have a down day, you have a down day. So what? Start again tomorrow. Just be sure to own your decision and don't use it as an excuse to beat yourself down or to wallow in guilt.

You are your own best navigator when it comes to achieving your goals. It may not always be about go-go-going. While we desire to reach the end goal, the journey is unique to each of us. What may be right action for you, may not be right action for someone else.

Learn to follow what action (or non-action) feels best - for you. If you find a specific goal particularly challenging or stagnating, revise it - chunk it down - delete it - or approach it from the opposite motivator.

5 Questions to Ask When You're Not Motivated to Achieve Your Goals

Even the most motivated of achievers can sometimes feel unmotivated. So what do you do in those crucial moments of inner negotiation - do I commit to two steps forward or relent to two steps backwards - and how do you justify your decision?

What if not being motivated to achieve your goals is a sign of a deeper, unresolved issue? Here are five questions to uncover the possible reasons you're not motivated to achieve your goals:

1. Do I Really Want This?

Before you start discounting yourself as being weak or a failure, ask yourself if you really want this.

Do you really want the end result? Do you want it bad enough to do whatever it takes to achieve it?

If the answer is no to either question, it's pretty obvious why you may not be motivated to doing the work the goal requires to actually achieve it.

Achieving your goals doesn't necessarily have to be hard, but it can be challenging for any number of reasons. If you don't have enough fire, passion, and desire to achieve a goal, the process is likely going to be a lot harder than it has to be.

Tip: Stick to goals that you want bad enough that the decision to do what you need to do, in order to achieve it, is easy.

2. If I Don't Want This, What Do I Want?

If you've asked yourself, do I really want this? and "no" was the answer - there's only one remaining question to ask:

If I don't want this, what do I really want?

The answer may require some soul searching or big dreaming; just be sure it's something that has enough desire to pull you through the "work" of achieving the goal.

Tip: Committing to goals you don't really want serves little purpose. Instead, craft goals you desire with your heart, guts, and soul - those goals that inspire you to do the work required. These types of goals will get you excited and motivate you to achieving them.

3. What's My Big Why?

In the middle of doing the "work" of goal achievement, it's easy to lose sight of why you're doing it. When you find you're not motivated to keep going, focus on the emotional reason behind why you made the initial commitment. So ask yourself:

• Who/what inspired me to make the initial commitment to this goal?
• Is my reasoning behind the commitment (my big why) still a high priority - a high enough priority to continue my commitment to doing whatever it takes - and nothing less?

If the answer is yes, connect to your big why. It's as easy as reminding yourself of the emotion that prompted your initial commitment - the why behind your decision. Connecting to the why allows you to feel emotions and renew your commitment to the goal.
If the answer is no, they your why isn't a big enough why - or it may be time to revise your goals so you can find a big why.

4. What are the Consequences of Not Doing the Work?

The goal of this question is to get you thinking about the consequences of not doing the work. There is only ever one reason behind every choice you make: it's that you believe your choice will bring about greater comfort or happiness and/or reduction of pain or discomfort.

Let's take weight loss as an example. On one hand, you commit to losing 25 lbs because you want to live a long, healthy life, well into your elderly years (goal driven by increasing pleasure and overall good feeling). On the other hand, you commit to losing 25 lbs. because you don't like the way you look in a bathing suit (goal driven by reducing pain).
So the question is:

• Are the consequences of not doing the work undesirable enough to motivate you to do the work needed - right here, right now?

If the pleasure of achieving a future goal is not enough to motivate you, then turn the tables. Instead of trying to motivate yourself by pleasure, think about the pain. Is the pain enough to motivate you to do the work?

Tip: Pleasure is a more sustainable motivator and is initially the best way to inspire you, but sometimes the realization of pain can provide just the kick-in-the-pants you need to get moving.

5. Do I Want To Stay Stuck Here?

If you really want this and you have a strong emotional connection to your big why, but you're still not motivated enough to do the work, then ask the following questions:

• Do I want to stay stuck here?
• What if I'm still here, in this same place, next week - next year - in five years?
• What if things never change?
• If I give up today, how will I feel tomorrow?
• Am I going to be happy with any of these realities?

Tip: Again, if you can't find motivation in the pleasure of doing the work, maybe the pain of not doing the work will be enough to get you motivated to achieve your goals. Sometimes a little accountability will also help get you going in the 'right' direction. Find someone who you can work with to hold you accountable to your goals and who would like you to hold them accountable to achieving their goals. A little accountability can go a long way and make all the difference.

Think of the moments that you find yourself not motivated to achieve your goals not as a reason to beat yourself up for being weak or less than perfect, but as an opportunity to check-in and examine if your goals are still in alignment with where you're headed. Goals should inspire you into action and propel you along your path to success; if they're not, use these questions to help you uncover the real issue.

Top 10 Tips on How to Get And Stay Motivated

Learning how to get and stay motivated isn't always an easy task. It's especially difficult when you're dreading the task at hand and are inclined to procrastinate. Below, are the Top 10 Tips to help you get motivated - and back on track. They will also help you stay on track so you achieve your goals and be even more successful.

1. Find what drives you. Are you driven by your own needs, by the need of your family, or by someone else? How about the needs of your clients? Are you willing to work 10-hour days because your client is in a pinch or because you desire the end result? Maybe your drive comes from paying off your debt and providing a better life for your family. ACTION STEP: Find what drives you and then exploit it to stay motivated and focused. Write it down and post it at your work station where you will see it frequently throughout the day.

2. Visualize the end result. Zoning in on the end result is one of the key steps in being able to understand how to get motivated. When you accomplish a goal, you feel a sense of excitement or triumph. ACTION STEP: Visualize how you'll feel once you accomplish each goal. Make a to-do list for the things you'd like to do once you get this task out of the way. Maybe you'll take a mini vacation with your significant other, make an appointment to get a massage, or take a day off and play golf. Hang that list where it will remind you frequently of the desired result.

3. Reward yourself. Aren't rewards the biggest motivator? Give yourself a tiny prize every time you accomplish something on your to-do list. Motivate yourself with a cup of coffee, a break to read your favorite books, or the time to take that vacation. ACTION STEP: Set up small rewards for each goal you achieve. Staying motivated is a heck of a lot easier when you've got something exciting in the immediate future to look forward to.
4. Change your scenery. Sometimes, it's just difficult to get motivated when you're looking at the same four walls hour after hour. Occasionally, all you need is a change of scenery to get the ball rolling. ACTION STEP: Shake things up by changing your scenery. If it's a nice summer day, get some work done while sitting on your porch. If you live in the city, head to a coffee shop and plop yourself down into a nice cushy chair, get a latte and get to work.

5. Plan ahead. Creating a realistic schedule is essential when trying to understand how to get motivated. ACTION STEP: Give yourself a set amount of time to complete each task and then move on. If you're not done before times up, save the task for the end of the day and reprioritize your to-do list for the following day.

6. Divide responsibility. You're not just an entrepreneur; you also have personal responsibilities that need your attention. If you have a spouse or children, consider delegating some responsibilities to them. Instead of using your break to drive to the post office and mail bills, ask your significant other if they have time to do it before he or she heads to work. If you usually wake up early to clean the house, give your 13-year old $20 to clean the house three times each week. ACTION STEP: Hold a family and/or team meeting to divide responsibilities throughout your household (and office) so you can free up your most valuable time to taking on the most high-impact actions.

7. Remember why you do this. You obviously became an entrepreneur for a reason. Perhaps you have a passion for what you do or it allows the flexibility you need in your schedule. Maybe your income provides great benefits to you or your family that would otherwise be minimal if it were not for your business. ACTION STEP: Constantly be mindful of why you do what you do - it's one of the best ways to easily get and stay motivated.

8. Use fear. This may seem like a dirty little trick, but sometimes it's a necessary evil to truly learn how to stay motivated. If you are unable to connect with why you do what you do, perhaps thinking of what would happen if you didn't will remind you. You may use this only as a last resort if nothing else seems to be working. ACTION STEP: Think of what you could lose if you don't get the task at hand completed. Analyze what's at stake and let the fear of losing these valuable things pump you into getting motivated!

9. Raise the Bar. Successful entrepreneurs know that constantly raising the bar is the true key to self improvement. Raising the bar each time you reach a goal will force you to advance your skills, become a strategic thinker and ultimately thrust you towards completing your responsibilities in a more efficient manner. ACTION STEP: Raise the bar every month or even every week. If you have a goal in mind, step it up one or two more notches, yet it must still be believable for you. You'll soon start to see your motivation (and your ability to achieve more) sky rocket.

10. Break a Sweat. It's no secret that exercising boosts your confidence and helps you stay motivated. Get active and clear your thoughts by taking a jog in the park each morning, swimming a lap in your pool during your lunch break or speed walking with your dog before work. Any kind of physical activity for thirty minutes or longer will help you get motivated and boost your levels of endorphins. ACTION STEP: Commit to 30-minutes per day of any type of exercise. Use your personal preference (morning, afternoon or night) to use your peak energy to the best advantage.
Follow these tips and action steps to help you get and stay motivated and you will continue to move closer to achieving your goals. Remember, it's about staying focused and disciplined, taking many positive steps forward while minimizing or eliminating the backwards steps, and committing to doing what it takes to get you where you want to be.

7 Steps for Creating the Life YOU Want

We all aspire to do, be and have great things. Yet most of us simply aren't creating the results we want. We complain that we don't have enough money, romance, success or joy in our lives.

We point fingers and blame outside problems that "happen" to us and make life more difficult. But what we need to understand and keep at the forefront of our minds is that greatness exists in all of us. It is simply up to us to pull it out of ourselves. Regardless of personal circumstances, economic climates, and access to resources, it helps to maintain faith in the fact we each are more powerful than we think.

We all have the ability to create the life we want. We just need to learn how to do it. Is there an exact "formula"? No, but there are certain common features that successful people exhibit and that anyone can practice. They are what can jumpstart your success and attract what you want in life. You'd be hard pressed to find any high achiever who doesn't live by the following 7 tips:

1. Take No Less than 100% Responsibility for Your Life

One of the greatest myths that is pervasive in our culture today is that you are entitled to a great life and that somehow, somewhere, someone is responsible for filling our lives with continual happiness, exciting career options, nurturing family time and blissful personal relationships simply because we exist. But the real truth is that there is only one person responsible for the quality of the life you live. That person is you.

Everything about you is a result of your doing or not doing. Income. Debt. Relationships. Health. Fitness level. Attitudes and behaviors. That person who reflects back at you in the mirror is the chief conductor in your life. Say hello!

I think everyone knows this in their hearts, but the mind can play games, tricking plenty of people into thinking external factors are the source of failure, disappointment, and unhappiness. But the truth of the matter is that external factors don't determine how you live. You are in complete control of the quality of your life.

Successful people take full responsibility for the thoughts they think, the images they visualize, and the actions they take. They don't waste their time and energy blaming and complaining. They evaluate their experiences and decide if they need to change them or not. They face the uncomfortable and take risks in order to create the life they want to live.

2. Be Clear Why You're Here

I believe each of us is born with a life purpose. Identifying, acknowledging and honoring this purpose is perhaps the most important action successful people take. They take the time to understand what they're here to do, and then they pursue that with passion and enthusiasm.

If you don't know what you're supposed to be doing, then just tune in to the signals around you. Looking toward others for help and guidance is helpful, but don't forget to stay tuned in to yourself—your behavior, attitude, likes and dislikes, and life experiences. Identify what's working and what isn't. If you need to, write it all down. You might be surprised by what you discover.

3. Decide What You Want

It sounds so simple, but here's the problem: I see plenty of people who are overly-busy yet who feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled. They are physically tired, spiritually drained, and far from where they'd like to be—as if they've been running on a treadmill going nowhere fast. Why? Because they haven't clearly mapped out what they want and then taken the steps to get there. Rather than identifying specific goals, milestones, and dreams (and I'm talking BIG dreams and goals here), they go through the motions day in and day out tackling unimportant tasks. They end up...you guessed it...going in circles and wasting lots of energy. In the meanwhile, they grow increasingly uninspired and out of touch with their authentic selves. This, of course, sets anyone up to living a life out of balance.

One of the main reasons why most people don't get what they want is they haven't decided what they want. They haven't defined their desires in clear and compelling detail. What does success look like to you? Not everybody's definition of success is the same, nor should it be.

Don't let your inner devil's advocate (or that incessant but unimportant To Do list) inhibit you from dreaming big. As soon as you commit to a big dream and really go after it, your subconscious creative mind will come up with big ideas to make it happen. You'll start attracting the people, resources, and opportunities you need into your life to make your dream come true. Big dreams not only inspire you, but they also compel others to want to play big, too.

4. Believe It Is Possible

Scientists used to believe that humans responded to information flowing into the brain from the outside world. But today, they're learning that instead we respond to what the brain, based on previous experience, expects to happen next. In fact, the mind is such a powerful instrument; it can deliver literally everything you want. But you have to believe that what you want is possible.

As you commit to believing in yourself, also make a commitment to toning down the complaint department. Look at what you are complaining about. I'm fat. I'm tired. I can't get out of debt. I won't ever get a better job. I can't stand the relationship I have with my father. I'll never find a soulmate in life. Really examine your complaints. More than likely you can do something about them. They are not about other people, other things, or other events. They are about YOU.

5. Believe in Yourself

If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes; the abilities, inner resources, talents and skills to create your desired results.

Have unwavering faith in yourself, for good and bad. Make the decision to believe that you create all your experiences. You will experience successes thanks to you, and you will experience pain, struggle, and strife thanks to you. Sounds a little strange, but accepting this level of responsibility is uniquely empowering. It means you can do, change, and be anything. Stumbling blocks become just that—little hills to hop over.

6. Become an Inverse Paranoid

This one is straightforward: Imagine how much easier it would be to succeed in life if you were constantly expecting the world to support you and bring you opportunity. Successful people do just that.

7. Unleash the Power of Goal Setting

Experts on the science of success know the brain is a goal-seeking organism. Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work day and night to achieve. To engage you subconscious mind, a goal has to be measurable. When there aren't any criteria for measurement, it is simply something you want, a wish, a preference, or a good idea.

Sometimes we need to make just one initial goal to get started, and that's okay. At least it comes with a few actions to achieve. A first step simply can be making an immediate change in a single area in your life. Are you unhappy about something that is happening right now? Make requests that will make it more desirable to you, or take the steps to change it yourself. Making a change might be uncomfortable and overwhelming for you. It might mean you have to put in more time, money, and effort. It might mean that someone gets upset about it, or makes you feel bad about your decision. It might be difficult to change or leave a situation, but staying put is your choice so why continue to complain? You can either do something about it or not. It is your choice and you have responsibility for your choices.

Bear in mind that you have to be willing to change your behavior if you want a different outcome. You have to be willing to take the risks necessary to get what you want. If you've already taken an initial step in the right direction, now's the time to plan more steps to keep moving you forward faster.

Isn't it a great relief to know that you can make your life what you want it to be? Isn't it wonderful that your successes do not depend on someone else?

So if you need just one thing to do different today than you did yesterday, make it this: Commit to taking 100% responsibility for every aspect of your life. Decide to make changes, one step at a time.

Visualize and Affirm Your Desired Outcomes: A Step-by-Step Guide

You have an awesome power that most of us have never been taught to use effectively.

Elite athletes use it. The super rich use it. And peak performers in all fields now use it. That power is called visualization.

 

The daily practice of visualizing your dreams as already complete can rapidly accelerate your achievement of those dreams, goals and ambitions.

 

Visualization of your goals and desires accomplishes four very important things.

 

1.) It activates your creative subconscious which will start generating creative ideas to achieve your goal.

 

2.) It programs your brain to more readily perceive and recognize the resources you will need to achieve your dreams.

 

3.) It activates the law of attraction, thereby drawing into your life the people, resources, and circumstances you will need to achieve your goals.

 

4.) It builds your internal motivation to take the necessary actions to achieve your dreams.

Visualization is really quite simple. You sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and imagine — in as vivid detail as you can — what you would be looking at if the dream you have were already realized. Imagine being inside of yourself, looking out through your eyes at the ideal result.

 

Mental Rehearsal

Athletes call this visualization process “mental rehearsal,” and they have been using it since the 1960s when we learned about it from the Russians.

 

All you have to do is set aside a few minutes a day. The best times are when you first wake up, after meditation or prayer, and right before you go to bed. These are the times you are most relaxed.

 

Go through the following three steps:

 

STEP 1. Imagine sitting in a movie theater, the lights dim, and then the movie starts. It is a movie of you doing perfectly whatever it is that you want to do better. See as much detail as you can create, including your clothing, the expression on your face, small body movements, the environment and any other people that might be around. Add in any sounds you would be hearing — traffic, music, other people talking, cheering. And finally, recreate in your body any feelings you think you would be experiencing as you engage in this activity.

 

STEP 2. Get out of your chair, walk up to the screen, open a door in the screen and enter into the movie. Now experience the whole thing again from inside of yourself, looking out through your eyes. This is called an “embodied image” rather than a “distant image.” It will deepen the impact of the experience. Again, see everything in vivid detail, hear the sounds you would hear, and feel the feelings you would feel.

 

STEP 3. Finally, walk back out of the screen that is still showing the picture of you performing perfectly, return to your seat in the theater, reach out and grab the screen and shrink it down to the size of a cracker. Then, bring this miniature screen up to your mouth, chew it up and swallow it. Imagine that each tiny piece — just like a hologram — contains the full picture of you performing well. Imagine all these little screens traveling down into your stomach and out through the bloodstream into every cell of your body. Then imagine that every cell of your body is lit up with a movie of you performing perfectly. It’s like one of those appliance store windows where 50 televisions are all tuned to the same channel.

 

When you have finished this process — it should take less than five minutes — you can open your eyes and go about your business. If you make this part of your daily routine, you will be amazed at how much improvement you will see in your life.

 

Create Goal Pictures

 

Another powerful technique is to create a photograph or picture of yourself with your goal, as if it were already completed. If one of your goals is to own a new car, take your camera down to your local auto dealer and have a picture taken of yourself sitting behind the wheel of your dream car. If your goal is to visit Paris, find a picture or poster of the Eiffel Tower and cut out a picture of yourself and place it into the picture.

 

Create a Visual Picture and an Affirmation for Each Goal

 

We recommend that you find or create a picture of every aspect of your dream life. Create a picture or a visual representation for every goal you have — financial, career, recreation, new skills and abilities, things you want to purchase, and so on.

 

When we were writing the very first Chicken Soup for the Soul® book, we took a copy of the New York Times best seller list, scanned it into our computer, and using the same font as the newspaper, typed Chicken Soup for the Soul into the number one position in the “Paperback Advice, How-To and Miscellaneous” category. We printed several copies and hung them up around the office. Less than two years later, our book was the number one book in that category and stayed there for over a year!

 

Index Cards

We practice a similar discipline every day. We each have a list of about 30-40 goals we are currently working on. We write each goal on a 3x5 index card and keep those cards near our bed and take them with us when we travel. Each morning and each night we go through the stack of cards, one at a time, read the card, close our eyes, see the completion of that goal in its perfect desired state for about 15 seconds, open our eyes and repeat the process with the next card.

 

Use Affirmations to Support Your Visualization

 

An affirmation is a statement that evokes not only a picture, but the experience of already having what you want. Here’s an example of an affirmation:

 

I am happily vacationing 2 months out of the year in a tropical paradise, and working just four days a week owning my own business.

 

Repeating an affirmation several times a day keeps you focused on your goal, strengthens your motivation, and programs your subconscious by sending an order to your crew to do whatever it takes to make that goal happen.

 

Expect Results

 

Through writing down your goals, using the power of visualization and repeating your affirmations, you can achieve amazing results.

 

Visualization and affirmations allow you to change your beliefs, assumptions, and opinions about the most important person in your life — YOU! They allow you to harness the 18 billion brain cells in your brain and get them all working in a singular and purposeful direction.

 

Your subconscious will become engaged in a process that transforms you forever. The process is invisible and doesn’t take a long time. It just happens over time, as long as you put in the time to visualize and affirm, surround yourself with positive people, read uplifting books and listen to audio programs that flood your mind with positive, life-affirming messages.

 

If you would like a step-by-step, comprehensive approach for defining your goals, creating affirmations for them and how to create a powerful visual support system, take a look at our Vision Boards Kits... they contains a everything you need--just add your dreams!

 

 

Repeat your affirmations every morning and night for a month and they will become an automatic part of your thinking... woven into the very fabric of your being.

When Goals are Forgotten: 4 Steps to Get Back on Track

Most people start pursuing their goals – especially New Year’s resolutions – with great passion. But over time, they lose momentum, burn out and put their dreams aside.

If this happens to you, it’s a clear-cut sign that your goals are not sustainable. In this article, you’ll discover how to get back on track toward your goals – and accelerate your momentum.

1. Evaluate Your Motivation

If you’ve lost momentum toward your goals, the first thing to do is verify your commitment. A lot of our goals tend to be “should’s” rather than deep “want to’s.” But I’ve discovered that without a burning desire to achieve a goal, your motivation wanes quickly, and your subconscious mind turns its attention to more exciting desires.

For example, many people set New Year’s resolutions to lose weight – a goal that often falls into the “should” category. We feel like should lose weight because it will make us healthier, reduce stress on our joints, and make us feel more confident and attractive. Unfortunately, these benefits are typically not compelling enough to motivate us to keep our commitment to lose the extra pounds.

However, if you find out that a new baby will soon join your family, your “why” suddenly becomes bigger. Now you’re motivated to lose weight because doing so will increase the odds that you’ll be around to watch that baby grow into adulthood.

Pull out your list of goals, and for each one, ask, “What is my why? Why do I want to achieve this? And am I committed enough to my why to do whatever it takes to achieve this goal?” By identifying or even upgrading your “why,” you can tap into greater motivation and commitment to achieve your goal.

2. Are You Realistic?

Once you’ve confirmed that your goals are things you truly want to achieve, the second thing to verify is that your goals are realistic.

One by one, break each of your goals down. Get clear on what would really be required to achieve each goal. Realistically assess how many hours it would take each week or day to achieve the goal.
Next, start scheduling all of the activities that are required to achieve your various goals. (Note: If you don’t know all of the steps to achieve them, just list the ones that you are aware of for the purposes of this exercise; the rest of the steps will unfold once you begin taking action.)

Once you start scheduling key activities into your calendars, many of us begin to realize that there’s not enough time in our schedules to accomplish everything we want to do. If this is the case for you, go back and prioritize your goals. Which goals matter the most to you? Do any of your goals need to achieved before you can start working on another goal?

3. Declare Your Intentions

When you’re clear about which goals you’ll work on, you can increase your commitment by publicly declaring your intentions. Share your goals with the people in your life – the more, the better. You’ll be more likely to take action toward achieving your goals when the alternative is losing face with people about whom you care.

If the threat of public humiliation isn’t enough, you also can incorporate a negative consequence. Find something that will be painful for you to do, and publicly commit to enduring the consequence if you don’t achieve your goal.

Some people are more motivated by rewards than punishments. If this describes you, find a reward that you’ll receive upon completion of your goal. This could be anything from a vacation to buying the car you want or something more simple, such as treating yourself to a new outfit, Louis Vuitton bag or a massage. Rewards are powerful for motivating your inner child.

4. Creating Accountability

Most of us find it easy to let ourselves off the hook. We can quickly justify why we haven’t followed through on our commitment to take action on any particular day, just as we can easily make excuses about why we miss our targets completely.

If you find yourself frequently slipping into these habits, an accountability partner will be a huge benefit to you. In fact, I believe so strongly in accountability partners that participants at my annual Breakthrough to Success retreat to pair up with another attendee as their accountability partner before they leave.

Accountability partnerships work as follows: Each morning, you hold a 5-minute phone call during which you each share what you’re committing to do that day. For example, you could share your “Rule of 5,” in which you commit to doing 5 things to move you toward your biggest goal. (Tip: Use my Top 5 Priority Action Post-It notes to keep your commitment front and center.)

The next morning, you report on your progress from the previous day and share what you’ll accomplish in the coming 24-hour period. Knowing that your partner will be asking you whether you upheld your commitments the day before can be a powerful motivator for getting tasks completed.
A proven twist on accountability partnerships is working toward your goal with another person. For example, I meditate with my wife every morning. We hold each other accountable. If I sleep in too late, I can count on Inga to wake me up and say, “Come on, we’re meditating now.”

If you find that having a friend or colleague serve as your accountability partner is not enough, consider hiring a professional, such as a coach or trainer. These individuals may be better equipped to recognize self-sabotaging behaviors and beliefs – as well as to hold you accountable for taking action. And if you’re someone who hates to waste money, knowing that you’re paying someone to hold you accountable might be the added motivation you need to keep your commitments.

Get Back on Track – Starting TODAY!

It’s normal to veer off course when pursuing goals. Sometimes this happens because we’re not truly committed to our goals. Other times, it’s because we struggle to hold ourselves accountable for doing the necessary work. Use the tips in this article to get yourself back on track in making steady progress in turning your dreams into a reality.

Why You Should Duplicate Beliefs To Reach Success

All successful people share similar abilities. They are self-starters, they are able to motivate themselves easily, and they are able to change their thoughts into actions.

To duplicate someone’s success you need to duplicate his or her beliefs. You need the same core beliefs. Beliefs can be the firewall or passage way for you to reach your dreams, negative beliefs stop you from achieving your dreams and positive beliefs aid in the confidence and certainty needed to achieve amazing outcomes. Are you stopping yourself from achieving your dreams because you believe you don’t have the abilities or the resources to get there? Or will you give yourself a chance to say, “I’m going to take a shot, I am going to give this one a crack and prove to myself that I won’t be stopped or limited by my negative beliefs”.

Most people admire their idols so much that they start to believe things like: “They are different than I am, they are superhuman, they are born to do it, I’m not one of the lucky ones”, when that is not true at all. The “pedastooling” needs to stop! If you do this too often then you’ll start to believe that you will NEVER be on their level or be worthy of the success that they have acquired. Learn from your idols, admire them and smile, but don’t EVER believe that you can not be as successful as your role models are because YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN if your desires and beliefs are strong enough to achieve your dreams.

The only thing that is separating you from your idol is the limiting beliefs that you have created for yourself. Your idols may be more fortunate because they have spent the time to learn and master their craft, because they truly love what they do and have put in the long hours behind the scenes, or that they have met the right network of people who can align them with good opportunities along the way, but the one thing that stands them apart from those who have acquired fame and fortune in their field is that they have made the bold commitment to themselves and others, that chasing and achieving their dreams is the only option they have and they will never settle for less. This is the kind of belief that you must enforce in your mind, and your heart, if you want to achieve success with no limits.

Michael Jackson said it best when he said: “We can program ourselves to be the person we want to be, whatever the subject matter is, live in it by a mental physical program – a system of learning and doing. Studying all the greats in that field and becoming greater. I believe we are powerful, but we don’t use our minds to full capacity. Your mind is powerful enough to help you attain whatever you want.”

Also remember, don’t forget to fail, failure breeds success. Don’t think for one minute that your role model or idol never failed at anything at some point in their life. They probably failed more than you know, and that is why they are successful in achieving their dreams.

We only get what we believe that we deserve. Raise the bar, raise your standards and you will receive a better outcome. – Joel Brown

How to Stop Settling for Less - Jack Canfield's Success Tip #2

Decide What You Want

I know it sounds so simple, but here's the problem: I see plenty of people who are overly-busy yet who feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled in their lives.

They are physically tired, spiritually drained, and they’re far from where they'd like to be—as if they've been running on a treadmill going nowhere fast. Why? Because they haven't clearly mapped out what they want and then taken the necessary steps to get there. Rather than identifying specific goals, the milestones toward the achievement of their goals, and their dreams (and I'm talking BIG dreams and goals here), they go through the motions day in and day out tackling unimportant tasks. They end up...you guessed it...going around in circles and wasting lots of energy. In the meantime, they grow increasingly uninspired and out of touch with their authentic selves. This, of course, sets anyone up to living a life out of balance.

One of the main reasons why most people don't get what they want is they haven't decided what they want. They haven't defined their desires in clear and compelling detail.

What does success look like to you? You know, not everybody's definition of success is the same, nor should it be.

Chances are, you’re pretty clear about what you don’t want, but if you're like most people I meet and work with, you haven’t given much time and consideration to what you do want.

I’m here to tell you that in order to create what you want in your life, you must first take the time to clarify your goals, and be specific in the process. So stop settling for whatever just happens to come your way in life, and start to take ownership of the fact that you can actively participate in the creation of your ideal future by clearly stating your desires as written, measurable goals.

The bottom line is this: If you don’t really know exactly what you’re asking for, then how can you expect to get it? So it’s imperative that you take the time to decide what you really want to create in your life, write it down, and be perfect and precisely clear about it. This is one of the most important first steps to creating the life of your dreams. So take it!

How to Take Control of Your Life and Results

Success Tip #1 : Take No Less than 100% Responsibility for Your Life
One of the greatest myths that's pervasive in our culture today is that you are entitled to a "great life" and that somehow, somewhere, someone is responsible for filling our lives with continual happiness, exciting career options, a nurturing family and blissful personal relationships, simply because we exist.

But the real truth is that there is only one person responsible for the quality of your life.. and that person is you.

You see, everything about you is a result of your doing or not doing.
Your Income. Your Debt. Your Relationships. Your Health. Your Fitness level. Your Attitudes and behaviors... everything!

That person you see when you look in the mirror is the chief architect in your life.
You know, I think everyone knows this in their hearts, but the mind can play games, tricking us into thinking that external factors are the source of our failure, our disappointment, and our unhappiness.
But the truth of the matter is that external factors don't determine how you live.

You -- and only you -- are in complete control of the quality of your life experience.

Successful people take full responsibility for the thoughts they think, the images they visualize, and the actions they take. They don't waste their time and energy on blaming and complaining. They evaluate their experiences and decide if they need to change them or not. They face the uncomfortable and they take risks in order to create the life they want to live.

Now it's time for you to reclaim your power and take control of your results.

One way to begin is by simply responding differently to the events that occur in your life. That's right... you can actually change the outcomes in your life - and get better ones -- simply by changing your responses to the challenges and opportunities that occur.

You see, you only have control over three things that you can control in your life -- the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take.

And how you use those three things determines everything you experience.
So, if you don't like what you are experiencing and what you are producing as results in your life, you have to change your mental, visual and behavioral response to the events that occur in your life.

Remember this, nothing will change for the better until you do.

5 Steps to Getting What You Want in Life!

Do you want to live your dreams? Do you know what those dreams are? Do you know the three areas of your life that will help you achieve your dreams?

There are only three areas of your life where you need to take action if you want to have an incredible life: health, wealth, and relationships. If you set goals in these three areas of your life and then achieve them, you can get rich, achieve life fitness, and have the fantastic relationships you want.

Regardless of which areas of your life you want to set goals and achieve success, the action plan is the same. Below you will find the steps you need to take to set your goals and reach your dreams.

1. Decide what you want out of life.

This is one of the hardest things in life to do. No one ever asked me when I was growing up what I wanted out of life so I didn't know. I didn't have any idea how to decide that either. I believe we each have a mission and purpose in life we are each here to fulfill. In order to do that, you have to know what you want because what you want is tied to your mission and purpose, "the desires of your heart." Write down three things you want to have in the three major areas of life: health, wealth, and relationships. Be as specific as possible.

2. Determine any obstacles you have and decide how to eliminate them.

Having the right mindset is absolutely crucial to your success. If you believe you are not capable of achieving your dreams, or you believe you don't deserve it, then you will find some way to sabotage your efforts. It's important to root out these beliefs. Once you do this, then those beliefs need to be replaced with the right beliefs. Meditation, changing your beliefs, and exercise help you change the way you feel about yourself.

3. Make a plan of action for attaining your goals.

Choose three goals, one for each area of your life: health, wealth, relationships. Maybe you have success in one or two of these areas, but you don't have success in the third one. Consider choosing just one goal. It's important to choose goals throughout your life. Challenge is what helps us keep our enthusiasm for life.

4. Take action.

You don't have to have a perfect or complete plan, just a basic set of steps to help you get started. Once you get started, you can always add additional steps. What's important here is to make sure you ask yourself if the steps you are adding are really necessary for succeeding at your goals.

5. Reevaluate to see if what you are doing is working.

Feedback is also important. If what you are doing isn't working, then it's important to try something else. Imitating those who have already successfully achieved those things you want to achieve can help you succeed faster.

Repetition Attracts.....!!!

Often, people think of the things that they don’t want in life. People become anxious and
worried and they think that ‘being on the alert’ will prevent bad things from happening in
their lives. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking also activates the law of attraction. The
process of manifesting the things you want to appear in reality is not complicated but it is
not completely easy as well. The complication arises from the nature of the law of
attraction.

For example, if you keep saying “I don’t want to lose my promotion” eventually, the
determination that follows this negative thinking will attract a negative outcome (i.e. not
being promoted). The law of attraction does not sift through our various emotions and
intentions just to please us.

If your mind focuses on negative things, the law of attraction will give you negative
things. And with the law of attraction, negative outcomes will repeatedly arrive on your
doorstep if the conditions are just right (i.e. if you keep thinking of negative things). In
short – negation is not an effective way of tapping into the power of the law of attraction.
Here are some examples of what people think and what the law of attraction actually
processes and attracts:

Thought: “I don’t want to have a bad day”
Transmitted: “I really want to have a bad day”

Thought: “I don’t want to lose my promotion”
Transmitted: “I want to lose my promotion”

Thought: “I don’t want my computer to break down”
Transmitted: “I want my computer to break down”

Thought: “I don’t want to miss my flight!”
Transmitted: “I want to miss my flight!”

Thought: “I don’t want my submission to be late”
Transmitted: “I want my submission to be late”

Thought: “I don’t want my car to be scratched”
Transmitted: “I want my car to be scratched”

Thought: “I don’t want to go down with fever and rashes”
Transmitted: “I really want to go down with fever and rashes”

Thought: “Don’t ever speak to me in that manner ever again”
Transmitted: “I really want you to speak to me in that manner and I like others to do the
same”

An Error That People Love To Repeat

People are usually unsure about what they want in life… But they are almost always sure what they don’t want. People don’t want to be poor – so many folks are plagued with thoughts that center on bankruptcy and endless poverty. There is endless fear, anxiety and sometimes even resentment because life is not playing out perfectly.
Thinking about what you want and thinking about what you don’t want in life are two very different things. Some people might say that if you know what you don’t want you automatically know what you want, right?

Wrong. At least, that’s how it works when it comes to the law of attraction. Like attracts like – this simple yet complex concept of the law of attraction is the pitfall of many individuals. If you keep thinking about the things that you don’t want in life, you will, with certainty, attract those negativities into your life.


Does this sound incredulous or impossible? It isn’t. Because as you think more and more
about the things that are making your life miserable or intolerable, you are forming
mental signals that speak directly with the universe.

That’s why many people are unable to recover from challenges like debt. The more they
think about their debts, the more they are submerged in the negativity that the situation
has inspired. And in the end – that is all the Universe will give them, because they think
of nothing else but the debts.

People usually react to this by saying: doesn’t the law of attraction know what’s good for
me? Think about it – does the law of gravity know which things to attract to the ground?
It doesn’t. When the conditions are right, the invisible force pulls anything to ground. It
doesn’t matter where you are at the moment that the conditions have become just right
for gravity to work.

It doesn’t matter if you are busy or not – gravity will still work. The same thing happens
when we focus all our energies and thoughts on the negative. Whether we like it or not,
the law of attraction works immediately (though subtly) to bring to you what you have
been focusing on for the longest time. If you have a burning thought about poverty and
debt, the law of attraction will attract the parallel – which is of course poverty and debt. If
you have a burning thought about earning more money, the law of attraction will attract
more wealth for you. It is that simple.

The law of attraction is not a man-made concept and it doesn’t work for people alone. It
is present in the smallest components of life. What we are doing here is we are
progressively learning the coordinates of the law of attraction so you can maximize the
benefits and rewards that it brings – ceaselessly.

Re-shape Your Mind To Supercharge Your Motivation!

Do you sometimes struggle to stay motivated? Perhaps you find it harder if it is a task you don't really enjoy - eating correctly, working out regularly, studying a subject you don't like, perhaps you find it difficult to get motivated at work?

Sometimes we are more motivated than others. It is quite common to start something new - whether it be a diet, an exercise routine, taking up a new hobby or trying harder in a certain area. In the beginning your are hyped up, enthusiastic, and eager to get started.

Things start well as you sink your teeth into your new project and you feel super motivated. The end result is vivid in your mind and the excitement drives your motivation - whatever it is; a new slim body, an increase in salary, perhaps success in your education.

However, after the initial excitement of a new project starts to fade away you find it more routine, and you become much less enthusiastic. Sadly you become less and less motivated.
What if we could stay motivated - maintain that higher level of buzz and drive we have at the start of a new project right throughout - well this can be a reality!

More and more people are turning to subliminal audio as a tool to help increase levels of motivation, willpower and drive effortlessly.

Subliminal audio used to be quite mysterious, but it is quite simple really. They basically work as a mild form of hypnosis, and instead of entering a trance the subliminal audio reach your unconscious mind effortlessly - without you even being aware of them.

You'll never hear any audible words because they are moved to a greater audio frequency that only your subconscious mind can intercept. Once it does it processes them and stores them exactly like it would with any other information, gradually the subliminal phrases really begin to build within your unconscious mind and gradually make sustained changes to your self beliefs and perceptions - and in this instance to how naturally motivation comes to you.

Subliminal audio is especially good at making alterations to motivation. It is because motivation is essentially goverened by our unconscious mind - if you are motivated in one area you will be able to make use of that into all other areas of your life, so by manipulating the subconscious mind on a deep level you change your base levels of motivation and this spills over inot all areas of your life.

How Do Subliminal Downloads Work?

The word subliminal itself actually explains how the process works. It means “below threshold”, a person’s “threshold” or capacity regarding taking in something that they hear is what subliminal messaging plays on.

When we are awake and aware we can easily perceive the things around us, but only to an extent. There are many things that are continuously occuring in the background of our every day lives and we never even realize it. These kinds of background events demonstrate how subliminal audio works.

Say you are walking down the street and you notice the vehicles as well as men and women moving about around you. While walking, you hear your own thoughts, a car horn and a group of people talking. Those three things are the apparent perceptions, nevertheless , you may have unintentionally listened to someone in the group say that they are going to start taking it easy and decrease their pace a bit.

You didn’t actually hear that voice shine through the others and also you didn’t take time to fully grasp it either. You just keep walking on to your destination. When you approach the next intersection the light turns yellow, instead of rushing across the sidewalk as you normally do, you decide to slow down and wait for the next light. You have just been affected by subliminal audio, although all of this could have happened and you will never have known.

The same concept lies in purpose driven subliminal audio. When there is a goal or topic to be absorbed via messaging, the subliminal suggestions play in the background of the track - you never notice they are there or become aware of them.

After enough of this unconscious perception, the topic or goal will start to 'unconsciously' play out in your daily everyday life all without any real practice or effort. Effective subliminal messaging does take a willing subconscious mind as with all self-help practices, however, the benefits can be life changing.

Use Subliminal Music to Speed Up Your Self Help

If you are reading this article you are probably a fan of self help, but have you ever experimented with subliminal audio?

While many programs demand huge investments of time and finances, the path of subliminal audio does neither and can get you want you want out of life.

Any decision to improve yourself starts with you and your willingness to take that initial step and put it into action. A significant commitment is required to reach the higher state of living you desire. With subliminal audio, self-improvement is simpler than it’s ever been.

Although they are audio tracks that need to be played and heard, you’re technically not required to listen to anything. The science of subliminal audio will inspire thoughts and gives foundations to thinking patterns bound for success in anything you choose.

On top of the easy approach, any logical resistances your mind would normally put up are bypassed by the subconscious comprehension achieved by subliminal messaging. This allows you to tackle the most important issues in your own life and make changes that typical ‘conscious’ self help programs are incapable of.

By consistently suggesting things to the unconscious, you can open up new venues of possibility within yourself and get exactly what you want out of life.

Three Steps to Win In Life

 

 

Step One: Planning to Win

There are lots of steps and sub-steps you have to put together when you begin to plan your success, but a few things are foundational. Planning has to be based on getting a clear vision of what you want, because without a vision you don’t know which goals to set. Without goals you have no targets, and without targets you have nothing to measure how you’re doing. So you can see how important a vision is. Getting a clear vision for your future is also important because it plays a huge role in the creation of desire! Did you know that desire is the mother of motivation? Desire is the “want to” and the motor that fuels and powers sustained success.

Desire is important and vision is critical, but there are some personal qualities you must have or acquire to get the best possible results. As a matter of fact, there are six qualities: honesty, character, faith, integrity, love, and loyalty. I have called these qualities the foundation stones to any lasting success. You can develop each of these qualities in your life as you prepare to become the winner you were born to be.

Step Two: Preparing to Win

At first glance, you might think planning and preparing mean the same thing. I admit they might look like they are first cousins, but I see preparation as much different from planning. Preparation is a matter of equipping yourself to win with the right tools, knowledge, and support it will take to turn your dreams into plans that will make your vision into reality. So, you must equip yourself in the best possible way to insure your planning efforts will be successful.
Equipping and preparing yourself to win requires five things:
• You need the right knowledge to win.

• You must continually raise your personal performance bar.

• You must acquire tools that help you work better and faster.

• You have to practice your skills.

• You have to surround yourself with positive influences and people.

In summary, you have to train yourself to become a twenty-four-hour champion. Winning involves planning and preparing. Both are a constant-improvement, never-ending process. When you stop planning and preparing . . . you stop winning. Twenty-four-hour champions continually equip themselves to win!

Step Three: Expecting to Win

I’ve always said that when you have planned and prepared to win, you then have the right to expect to win. The ultimate fruit of positive expectation is hope, and it is hope that pulls you forward in all you attempt to do. I’m always hopeful and I never worry. I can say that because I expect the best possible result in all that I do. I expect the best because I planned my success, prepared myself to execute my plans, and earned the right to expect the best.

Desire is the mother of motivation, because that is where your motivation is born. Properly planning and preparing heightens your expectations, which fuels your desire and drives you to become even more motivated. Through the years I’ve continually heard from individuals from all walks of life whose lives were in a downward spiral—until they heard something in my audio products or read something in my books that gave them the will and the skills they needed to change their circumstances and transform their lives.

They testify that by putting my simple suggestions into practice their lives were transformed. Sometimes the transformation was mental, sometimes it was spiritual, and other times it was material. Whatever the transformation, there was a commonality to the core changes they made. These people changed the way they viewed themselves. They became willing to make significant changes, and they came to believe they were born to win! What they really did is develop the skills and take the necessary actions they needed to plan, prepare, and expect to win!

You were born to win. But to be the winner you were born to be you have to plan to win, prepare to win, and only then can you expect to win. Go out and be the winner you were meant to be today!

PROCEED

What would you do right now if you knew that everything today would turn out perfectly? What project would you start, what person would you talk to, what problem would you tackle if you could be assured of success?

Is there anything you're putting off because you're afraid of failure? Is there anyone you're avoiding because you're afraid of what they would say or think?

There is no guarantee of success. But there is a guarantee that if you never go for it, you'll never have it. And even in the failed attempts, you'll learn and grow. There is no guarantee that other people will think highly of all you say and do. But that's their problem.

Do you believe in the worth of your own pursuits? If so, then what could possibly prevent you from following them? If you're looking for a sure thing, then here's one -- everything you achieve will come only from the things you attempt. In order to succeed, you must proceed. Today is a great day to start.

Remember this; "Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent." - Marilyn Vos Savant
