Success ~ Lesson 1

You may have come here for many different reasons, but the results can all be the same: SUCCESS. Success for everyone can mean a lot of different things, it could be money, social freedom, spirituality, time with your family, becoming your own boss, or even enhance what you are currently doing. Maybe for you the change will mean you become the first million dollar producer with your company or watching your child take the steps toward the podium on graduation day. Success is a journey, over the next few lessons I am excited to help you take this journey and change your life and results forever!

My goal is to educate you on how to become successful and take action to create the results you desire. In order to do this, I will share with you words of success and exercises to follow daily to create your own success.

I want to thank you for joining me, we will cover:

1. How you can actually achieve the goals you desire by changing your thoughts, decisions, and actions.

Each lesson will walk you through a simple step by step process that has changed thousands of lives and created success for many people. I will share with you exercises and situations that have been utilized by people around the world for thousands of years. And finally, I will give you the tools to start immediately and have an impact on your life RIGHT NOW!

So let's get started.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE RESULTS YOU ARE GETTING
THE TIME TO CHANGE IS NOW!

Let's discuss results for a moment. Results can simply be that you are not getting the raise you want or you can't spend the time with your children that you and they deserve. The principles and opportunities I am about to share with you today will begin to affect you and change the way you think immediately.

The definition of Insanity is - Doing the same thing and expecting different results.

Wow, How many times do we expect our results to be different, yet we do the same things day after day. In order for you to change your actions you must first change the decisions you make. To change your decisions you must change your thoughts.

Sounds simple right? Well let's look at this in an easy formula for you to follow.

Thoughts + Decisions + Actions = RESULTS

So if you are not getting the results that you desire, you must go back to the simple formula and change your thoughts. So by following this formula, you can change and achieve the results andgoals that you are looking for in your life, work, and your relationships. In order for this to happen you must take the steps necessary.

1. Create positive thoughts that you believe will get the results you are looking for.

2. Make immediate decisions on those thoughts.

3. Take immediate action to achieve the results you desire.

Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly; Unsuccessful people make their decisions slowly and change their mind quickly
-Andy Andrews

Exercise:

In order to have the things in your life you desire, you must be willing to change your thoughts. Before you can have anything new in your life you must be GRATEFUL for the things that you have today.

Write 10 things that you are grateful for: You can be truly grateful about anything- your family, your home, food, love, or your artwork - you get the idea be personal with your answers.

1.________________________________2.__________________________________
3.________________________________4.__________________________________
5.________________________________6.__________________________________
7.________________________________8.__________________________________
9.________________________________10._________________________________

This will not take much of your time, but you will recognize how much you will evolve. Perception is reality. Your thoughts become your reality and the way you perceive yourself. Your past results have been reflections of your past thoughts.

Next time we will expand on this and show you how this opportunity can give you the success you want in the areas of your life that you believe change is a necessity. This is setting the foundation for the next 6 lessons and opens your mind to the possibilities you never dreamed were possible. Congratulations for making a decision to change your life and the results you deserve.

Dare to Empower Yourself!

If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem

The Law of Spiritual Guidance and Life Purpose

Everyone comes to planet earth with a team of spiritual guides or helpers to back them with their life purpose. These are souls that have accomplished everything you are involved in one way or another and have mastered it in themselves. This is why you chose them Before you were born, you and your guardian angels started to send energy to your physical body in the womb to help it grow and mature into a normal human being.

This is why there is always a beautiful “aura” around pregnant women a few months before they give birth. The silver cord starts to attach itself a few weeks before birth. If everyone understood what happens spiritually as a soul moves into this school, then there would not be the moral issues created around the birthprocess. Of course, if you destroy the physical body before it has a chance to come in to do its work, then the soul has to find another avenue or wait until a later time to accomplish its purpose.

At the same time, since our true nature is that we are a soul and not a physical body, it is impossible to keep a soul from entering the planet one way or another. There are many souls that have to wait for a long time to be able to come back in. Most people are taught that they have at least one guardian angel or spiritual guide. For people who came with a life purpose to accomplish more in the physical realm, there is not a great need for more than one or two guides to help them. These are the people who only need an inspiration to help put great theories together.

For people who came to work with people, however, it is not unusual to bring three or more spiritual helpers with them. It is important to understand how to communicate with people from all walks of life. Communication is the key to living a successful life. If you can’t communicate with yourself, it is invariably more difficult to communicate with others.

There is a Biblical passage that emphasizes this inner communication: If a man have an angel to whom one would listen once in a thousand times, the angel would show him the way of uprightness.

JOB 33:23

If a person comes from a more traditional or religious belief system, he or she will usually refer to this divine inspiration as “angels” or “the HolySpirit.” If someone has studied metaphysics or is involved with Eastern philosophy, he or she is more likely to call them “guides.” Whatever you call them, they are one and the same. There are not ten million different systems in the Cosmos, there is only one. Unfortunately, there are ten million different names for the same experience or phenomena. This is why there is so much confusion or competition on planet earth.

Actually, the word “angel” comes from the Hebrew word “mal’akh,” meaning “messenger.” The original term came from the Persian (angeros) and the Greek (angelos) which means “courier.” All of these names refer to a celestial spirit who gives us divine guidance from the universe. Since most of ancient culture is based on experience and not scientific theories, these people knew they received inspiration from something apart from themselves.

Your spiritual helpers or guides are not people you have known during your lifetime.. They are souls who have learned every lesson there is to learn on planet earth and they are there to help you to get to their level of awareness. They are totally benevolent. This is what makes a “high soul." Just because an individual is an “old soul” doesn’t mean that they have “graduated” from the earth plane. It takes someone who has mastered their experience on planet earth to help someone else really understand who they are and where they are going in life. They needed to have a symbol to communicate to the masses about this inspiration.

There is a bird that never starts to fly until it knows where it is going. This is the dove. When they wanted to symbolize the crystal-clear message from these helpers, they decided to put wings on the body of a child. This is where the image of the cherub was born. It can also be traced back to the original Greek and Roman mythology of “Eros” and “Cupid” - both symbols of divine love and inspiration.

Of course, our guardian angels do not really have wings. This is the conception of the original artists. The Bible is full of symbols and parables. This is so that everyone can relate to it and be able to receive inspiration at their level of consciousness. If we take all of the religious writings that have become available to us throughout the ages literally, we miss the point or essence of what the author was telling us. Because of the many translations through history, sometimes even a word or phrase canchange the meaning of an entire concept.

People think that they cannot talk to their guides or angels, but the opposite is true. You are always receiving inspiration from your spiritual guidance. As a matter of fact, it is not unusual for you to pick up 80 to 90 hunches or feelings a day from them When your angels or guides come around you, they give you a surge of energy throughout your nervous system. Some people call these “chills or goose bumps.” In Hawaii, the native people call it “chicken skin.”

Whatever you call it, it means that your angels are close to you and want to communicate with you. Sometimes they want to tell you something that will help you accomplish your life purpose. At other times, it is to warn you not to movein a certain direction. You have the ability to communicate with them directly.

Since they are energy – and you are energy, there are practical techniques which enable you to develop a two-way communication. They will always be with you no matter what. Even if you decide to go off on a different path than what you originally planned, they will always protect and guide you. They will never put you in situations that you cannot cope with. Even if you end up very confused, they never judge or tell you what todo.

They have ultimate patience because they have been through it. Once you realize that you have gone down an avenue that may not be healthy for you spiritually, then your spiritual guidance can assist you more and you will feel closer to them. Have you ever had the experience where you felt that you were being guided or that you said something that you did not know you knew? This is when your spiritual guides are really working closely with you to help yourself and the people around you. Consider them a team, a spiritual Board of Directors of your life, so that you do not put them higher or in greater esteem than you have for yourself.

Remember, they are no different from you. They are simply more organized spiritually and they do not need to return to this school to learn more lessons. They have already mastered everything here. Your life purpose is not to build great buildings or find the cure to the great diseases that are plaguing mankind. These are the by products of our purpose for being here.

Your real purpose is the spiritual message that you came to share with people everyday. Of course, you have to do it for yourself first. Some people think that “someday” they will achieve their purpose in life. Guess what? You have been doing it your entire life! You are an example of how you live your life.

Have you ever wondered why certain people are attracted to you and maybe not to others? This is because they came to learn something from you. We all learn from each other, but sometimes this feeling or affinity is very strong. Believe it or not, it is true that when we get impatient with certain people it is because they have not quite learned what they need to learn from us yet. Isn’t that why it is important to be patient with others around uswhile they are searching for their niche?

We have all the help we need to be successful in life. You do not need to be rich to be happy, although it is also important not to deny yourself as well. Many people think that by acquiring many possessions that this will make them happy. There is a big difference between being comfortable and being happy. Your spiritual guidance will help you acquire and achieve whatever you need to accomplish your life purpose. You did not come here to deny your needs or your wants.

The key is to enjoy everything you have and not let anything keep you tied down to the point where you never do what you came to do. If you are depressed, it means that you do not have personal direction. You may feel that others control your destiny. Only when you realize that no one can keep you from accomplishing what is right and good in your life, will you earn back the enthusiasm that is so important.

Your spiritual helpers cannot do anything for you. You have to do it for yourself! This is why some people pass on without fulfilling their purpose. They may feel that it was up to someone else to tell them what to do. They end up confused. Only by setting your own personal direction, can your spiritual guides help and back you to achieve your life dreams.

Saying Thank You

When we ask for something from an unseen world - spirit guides, angels - it is important to make sure to close the connection by saying "thank you." When we connect with these guides it is like placing an energetic phone call. Forgetting to close the call with a "good-bye and thank you" is like leaving that phone line open. Other's are unable to make a connection and energies are drained. Saying "thank you" is a way of releasing our concerns while putting our trust into a divine order so the universe can work on our behalf.

One of my favorite things to ask for is a safe journey when traveling on the road, and living in the "Valley of the Sun" Arizona, when I head out in the middle of summer I may also ask to find a "shady" parking space and then say "thank you and good-bye." If I am in a hurry, I ask for a parking spot up front. My journey is safe, I have a shady spot for my car or that up front parking.

I ask for spirit assistance in many areas of my life, every day and express my gratitude even when things do not quite work out as I requested. I always feel we receive what we need at the time and sometimes someone else is more in "need" and I am a student to learn about the needs of others ... I express my gratitude for the other person as well. Hallelujah! I say.

While our spirit guides do not require our gratitude, we bring ourselves to a sense of being grateful and we affirm what is already done. We then move forward with the confidence to do all those things we are meant to do. And in doing so we know, that all will be well and all manner of things will be well.

Wishing ~ it doesn't have to be a hit or miss proposition

If you were like me in my youth, you probably made a lot of wishes. Some of the came true but more than likely most did not. So when I became an adult, I decided to see if there might just be a more reliable process to my wishes. I have been experimenting with a variety of spiritual concepts and "secrets" that may be of use.

I recently had a client who had fallen on some rather tough "economic" times. He needed to attract $15,000 in monthly income to keep his business intact.

He did not have the $15,000 a month. But he wanted it. "Absolutely, I want to save my business more than anything."

The "flaws" in his wishing process are affirming that he does not have the cash flow and reinforcing both a mind-set and a vibration that creates an energy barrier to ever getting it. By saying he "wants" the money, he is reinforcing the condition of want.

In this moment, he does not have the $15,000, but does hope to get it sometime in the future.

He says, "Sometime soon, I need it straight away."

He was making it clear in his thinking, he was believing and experiencing the loss of his business, and was in tremendous need. Both are guaranteed wish-breakers, at least when it comes to manifesting money or wealth.

Now, one of my favorite words from childhood was "Hallelujah." My Mother and Auntie would say this word often when they received something unexpected or in relation to someone they knew was in need. My church leaders used this word every Sunday in their sermons. I came to love the word. I would "hallelujah" everything from my dolls to my dog.

So I began thinking again on this magical word. It is really quite simple, a single word to make all your wishes come true. It is layered in happiness .. a feel good word tied back to generations of this world. It is a rock solid word. The kind that just wakes up the Universe, the kind of word that makes wishes come true.

But before we can use this word, we must understand how we are creating our wishes and why we want our visualizations to come true. We must clarify our desires so that they are created for the greater good of everyone. The problem most people have with achieving their desires is that they choose things that provide temporary relief from the pain they are experiencing. There is no sense of surrender, of trading for something finer, more peaceful and more universal. In the end, if this benefits only you, you must defend and protect it, building walls against others, and against forces of assistance that surround you and help you to grow.

Before you start to wish or visualize, ask yourself these questions:

1) How will other people benefit?

2) What would make me happy?

3) Why do I believe this will make me happy?

4) Why is this important to me now?

5) Who else do I know who has this, or something similar to this?

6) When do I want this to happen

7) Where do I end up as a result?

8) How do I act towards others when I have this?

9) Whom do I accept, love or forgive as a result of having this?

10) How will having this define me?

The answers to are key pieces to the manifestation process. They reduce or eliminate our fear of change as we can see what is likely to happen to us and those around us. They strengthen our belief that what we do desire is possible, and beliefs always over-ride thought when it comes to receiving or repelling what we want. And, they help us see that is is impossible to create anything in a vacuum. Whatever we want must be good for us, and those around us.

Once we are perfectly clear, we can create what we want either through wishing, visualization, or both. Wishing really is short term visualization, so I start with wishing, and then expand it into a full mental scene where I am experiencing what I want with all my senses ~ sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and intuition. Visualization allows us to have something right away. No waiting and no wanting. It allows us to get comfortable with having what we want. We can experience in the pleasure, love, and peace of something that is good and right. If your mind tends to drift, it is helpful to create a "story-book," a journal, CD, or tape with your dream coming true in the present. I will share this personal tool in another blog.

Once this is done, it is "Hallelujah!" time. Simply look for the evidence all around you on an physical plane. Just as visualization is a "here and now" for the mind and spirit, "Hallelujah!" is the "here and now" on the physical plane. For my client who wants the $15,000 for his business, I suggested he look around for people who already have and are spending that kind of money building or maintaining their businesses. Instead of feeling jealous or bitter, he should say out loud, "Hallelujah!, there is another one." Cheer for an other's success. "Lots of people have this, so why not me?" Another benefit of this process is that the man is reading, watching, and learning about how those with abundant money run their business, spend their money, moving their product, or saving their incomes. Note: It is most powerful to say the word "hallelujah!" out loud, from the horses mouth so to speak.

If you have difficulty blessing others with praise, start small with the simpler things around you: the flowers in bloom, the visible stars in the sky, the snowflakes during a storm, the smell of fresh baking bread from the bakery around the corner. Over time, you will come to know that abundance exists everywhere, everyday and all the time. By appreciating and being thankful for unlimited natural wealth, you can relax and enjoy the idea that there is no lacking of anything in the universe.

Be thankful for every job that comes your way, every dollar, every new opportunity. It is possible to go from very little to $15,000 a month, but you must believe this can happen. "Hallelujah! is another piece for your wishing to come true. You will attract into your life, perhaps slowly at first but surely.

Focus your attention on enjoying everything you receive and you will get even more than what you had bargained for. Wish or visualization, it is done right here, right now. Focus on this moment, a wall built up on tomorrow cannot be penetrated today.

Let your heart speak. Listen with your eyes. Your wish is granted.

Light your Goals on Fire ~ Tips to Succeed

Here we are coming up on the 7th month of another year. Are you accomplishing what you've set out to do so far this year? Are you setting your goals and making a list of your accomplishments? Do you like your results so far? Wish you had better ones? You can – the time is now to refocus and reframe your 2008 goals so by the end of the year, you can look back and say "I was hot this year."

You do have the power within yourself to succeed. If you decide to achieve your goals you can, and do so with fire burning brightly. Then when someone asks you, "what did/have you accomplished in 2008?" You can resond,"Let me tell you – I was unstoppable!"

We aren't getting any younger. If nothing changes, next year you will be another year older and still stuck in the same rut wondering when you will achieve your dreams. You can change! Here are some thoughts to apply so that you can take control of your life and light your fire!

Decide what you want this year. You must crystallize the goal in order to pursue and then achieve it. You must increase your positive self-talk. If I tell myself, "I am fat and never will get this weight off," what happens? You know the answer. Erase the negative thoughts, the negative tapes inside your head and replace with positive self-statements.

If you catch yourself thinking negatively, stop and replace it with the exact opposite. Write the positive thoughts down, post them with a sticky note, write them in your journal, or with a dry erase marker on your bathroom mirror. Expand these thoughts throughout every inch of your mind and body. Visualize where you want to be and you can get there.

Take action! Once your goal is identified, you must act on it to achieve it. So, you want to lose 20 lbs. Your actions could be to schedule a regular time for exercise, evaluating your eating habits and then replacing with health alternatives, or hanging a visual reinforcement (photograph, tiny bikini) for constant reminder. Don't forget to incorporate the positive action thoughts into your daily routine as well. Believe it and it will be!

Also, choose to surround yourself with a positive supportive person who is aware of your goal and helps you to accomplish it. Whatever you do – act! Just make the action something that will propel you toward your goal.

Here are a couple of exercises …..

1. Decide what you want to accomplish in life. Write down 50, 100 or 200 things you want to do, places you want to visit, etc.

2. Live with integrity. That will keep you from crashing and burning along the road. That's never fun.

3. Give more than you receive. Be a person that others see as a generous, "go-to" guy in time of need.

4. Think and Dream Big. Take risks in life and share those results.

5. Manifest your goals with positive affirmations, visualizations, and journaling daily.

Whether your goal is weight loss, living debt free, dating and relating, returning to university, or chasing after a career goal, you do have the power within you to accomplish these goals.

Ask for support, help from family or friends, or help for an Coach or Advocate you invest in. Take charge today, you will be a year older next year, guaranteed but will you be living the life you dream and accomplishing your goals?

Define, develop your action, and pursue your goals!

Goal Setting ~ Simple Habit for Success

Yes, You Can Change Your Life

I believe thoughts are an energy which can manifest and create. What you are focused on is what you make happen. If you want to change your reality, the first step is to make that decision ~ it really is a choice. The next step is to watch your thoughts. The moment you catch yourself dwelling on a negative, say "stop," and then examine the thought to see if is has any merit. If not, reverse it quickly to a positive. You are now reprogramming your mind to believe and create what you choose; not what others have told you. These are the first steps to change your physical reality. It really is that easy.

An affirmation is a positive statement of fact that you repeat to yourself over and over again in the present tense, affirming it done. You use present tense because we only have the now moment in time. The future is coming, the past is gone. So, it is now that we create our future. So, in the now moment you would not say "grant me strength" because that is affirming and giving energy to the fact that you do not have it. Instead, in affirmation form you would say

"Thank you, I am stronger, and I can see further."

When you want to begin changing your life, repeat the following affirmations into memory, and hang on to your spiritual seatbelt because you are going to pick up speed in your growth.

~ I have success in all I do, in all I say, in all I am.
~ I have cash flow now, and forever am free from debt.
~ I do the most productive thing possible at every given moment.
~ I meet all the right people, in all the right places, at the right time for the betterment of all.
~ I am loving, I am lovable, I am worthy.
~ Everything I touch turns to gold.
~ Spirit goes before me, making safe my way.

Becoming more of who are are, transcending the mundane, reaching for realms beyond human potential, higher realms of spirit and light, the journey continues.

You have the power to create your new world!

Secret Missing Tip #1

Here is the secret to moving that mountain: You must set a goal that lies on the other side of it. Your fitness goals are your own. I can't presume to tell you where you need to be in terms of your own performance and conditioning. Only you have answers to those questions. But I can guarantee you that, until you search for and then set definite goals-with a definite timetable for achieving them-that mountain will stay right there in the middle of your pathway.

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair

The Earth and Wind ...

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair ~ Kahlil Gibran

Do Not Believe ....

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
~ Buddha

Forgiveness

There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness. - Josh Billings

What brings about such a radical shift in perception -- especially in situations where one feels very victimized and hurt? Surprisingly, it requires only a willingness to accept the possibility that life is not simply a series of random and haphazard events but is, in fact, the unfoldment of a Divine plan that is unfolding for us exactly how it needs to unfold for our spiritual growth. In other words, every event, however pleasant or unpleasant, has been called forth by a Higher Aspect of ourselves that knows exactly what we need for our own healing. When we live more out of that idea than the victim story, life begins to work perfectly.
