Universal Power of Intent: Learn to Use It!

As you know, I have been studying personal development, the Secret Law of Attraction and other Universal Laws for years and they honestly have changed my life!

I have become much more successful, I have overcome a severe and debilitating chronic illness called Myasthenia Gravis (after many years of it kicking me in the butt---I have kicked it in the butt!!!) I have acquired a sense of knowing and inner peace, I have removed doubt, anger fear and all other negative emotions from my world, I have become a very good attractor, I manifest my goals and dreams very quickly now, often in days or hours. I have worked at this but I want to let you know it really, truly does work. I have discovered my life purpose, that is to educate, inspire and empower others to reach higher levels of health, live fuller lives and live in abundance- an abundance of all good things. Becoming rich is not about the money or the material things, it is about freedoms and needing less as you carry the leverage!

I live so much better, I am happier, I live in the now, I have vitality and energy, I live on a plane of vibrational energy, I live in passion, optimism and gratitude. I want everyone I meet to live this way and feel this incredible feeling. All it takes is a committment and a bit of studying.

You must study, learn, practice and internalize this material in order for it to work. It does not magically change your life overnight, you have to master it.

I have read many books and spent thousands of dollars on various self help programs and these are some of the more inexpensive ones that I feel offer tremendous value, these programs are very good and will help you to live this way, with higher vibrational energy!

Of course my favorite and more expensive program is the SGR program:
http://www.SecretScienceOfGettingRichProgram.com


But they are all good! I recommend you invest in yourself, in your life and commit to studying this material, I recommend you take as many programs as you can so that you can really master the power of intention!


"In the Universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamans call intent, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link."
-Carlos Castaneda

Self-Hypnosis: Manifest Your Dreams Even Faster!!

Did you know that you will become much more effective and efficient at attracting that which you desire, when you tap into the Universal force of Intention? When you align youself with the Universal laws, such as the law of attraction, the law of cause and effect, the law of gratitude, the law of circulation and others, you become much more powerful. You must first learn how to impress your goals and ideas to the Universal substance and the best, fastest and easiest way to do that is through meditation or self-hypnosis.

Self hypnosis helps you really connect with the Universe and Infinite Power. I have to admit I struggled with this for a long time. Real mind focus is hard!! Try for a minute to focus on one easy task... count to 10 without any external thought entering your mind.... hard isn't it. I still have trouble doing it! Every time a new thought jumps in, start over.... it takes effort, repetition and persistence to master mind focus!!!

If we are not giving clear detailed descriptions of our desires and ideas to the Universe, our dreams either do not come true as planned or take much longer than we would like. So the trick to fast and efficient manifestations is learning meditation or self -hypnosis. I have bought many programs, books and tapes on these subjects and I did not really "get it" until I took this one:

http://www.SelfHypnosisForLife.com

It is really good...be open minded and work on it, and it will work for you!

What is Your Life Purpose?

The more we dig deeper into self discovery and self improvement, the more we feel compelled to give back to the Universe, serve thee Infinite Power and discover our own unique ulitmate purpose. Each of us, has our own unique ultimate purpose and statement. Many live and die without discovering it. Few venture into the deep and explore themselves and develop an ultimate purpose statement.

Once you do, your life takes on entirely new meaning. Discover your ultimate purpose statement!

http://www.DiscoverLifePurpose.com

Your life will change the moment you do. Begin your journey and identify your intentions, and then the power of intention will allow you to be a connector, an attractor and a tremendous giver!

Quantum Mind Power: Power Your Mind

Wow, is this ever neat stuff! Ok, we have all been studying hard recently and learning the Universal Laws and Law of Attraction. The more we learn, the more we find out that the Mind is a powerful, powerful place and tool. So many people fail to learn and use it. Those that do learn to create, manifest and expect such incredible things.

I recently took this program, as I continue to invest in myself and learn and internalize as much of this material as I can, and found this program to be very powerful and unique.

You will not be disappointed!

So I am always looking for information to continue to improve my levels of vitality and health. I am feeling terrific and I found these programs to be very good. Keep an open mind and allow the healing to occur, and it will!

This is an incredible presentation! Please share and pass along. Happy Holiday!

5 A's to an Abundant and Successful Life

The 5 A’s to create a full and successful life:

1) Abundance: life expression includes the mind, body and spirit. Life is always for advancement, growth and increase. Life expression is always for fuller life. Life is meant to be abundant in all ways, in the mind, body and spirit. Focus on abundance, there is only abundance. Do not think of or focus on lack, limitation or anything bad or negative, this includes eliminating these words from your vocabulary: “I cannot” and “yeah butt….” Life, the universe is abundant, remove your self from any and all thoughts that are focused on limitation, lack or competition.

2) Awareness: A successful and full life is one of awareness. There are 7 levels of awareness. As you become more aware and learn to attract more abundance to you, you will gain experience and expertise in your actions and become a mastermind of success.

3) Attraction: The natural law of attraction, is really the law of vibration. Attraction is by way of how we obtain our results. Past, present and future. Learn, practice and master the concepts of the law of attraction so that you become a co-creator of your results. If you do not like your results, you do have the conscious ability and awareness to change your results. You do this my changing your thoughts, feelings and actions from the inside in order to create new results. As these new results become more familiar, they will become your new paradigm or point of attraction. By the natural laws, cause of effect and vibration, you will obtain these new results, review the natural laws including “energy is” and its 7 subsidiary laws.

4) Action: Did you notice that the last half of the word attraction is action? Your actions affect what and who you attract into you life. It is critical that you focus on abundant thoughts and feelings in order to inspire abundant actions, that is how you attract abundance to you. You can choose your thoughts, if this concept is new to you, internalize it now, your thoughts then cause your feelings. We use our emotional guidance system to let us know whether or not we are in alignment with the natural laws of the universe, ourselves and our Higher Power/God/Universe. When we feel good, we are in alignment, when we do not have good feelings, we are not in alignment. We have the capacity to use your conscious mind to change our thoughts in order to create positive feelings, those feelings that raise our vibration. Our feelings cause our actions, then according to the natural law of cause and effect, our actions cause a reaction, that is attraction. This reaction changes our results. The only way you can change our results is by changing our thoughts, feelings and actions that cause new reactions and new results. This can only happen from the inside. Open your mind, and heart and work on performing inspired actions in order to change your results. Expand your mind, grow your success and lead a life of fuller life expression. Your heart only opens from the inside.

5) Attitude: the composite of your thoughts, feelings and actions. Your composite attitude produces your results and your paradigm or conditioning. You have the conscious ability to reject or accept your thoughts in order to create the experience, journey or results that you desire. Your attitude MUST be congruent. You must have a FIT attitude and a FAT attitude. Read on for a FIT and FAT attitude, most of all, make sure your attitude is Abundant!

Random Act of Kindness: It is Contagious

Random Act of kindness,

To me one of the most powerful aspects of this universe that is based on energy and attraction is the power of random acts of kindness. Just watch how contagious and powerful a random act of kindness can be and see how it transcends any and all negativity in your life in that moment and makes you feel better. It can literally expand across the state, country and globe in a very short time.

We all know this, yet rarely do we actually perform random acts of kindness, these acts can be simple: buy and give a flower to your cashier at the grocery store, run errands for someone who has can use some help, call a friend you have not spoken to in awhile, pick up litter, buy a book for a friend who is struggling, give smiles away, donate your time or money to a worthy cause.

Today, I went through a toll on the interstate and paid the toll for the three cars that followed behind me. Complete strangers. I told the toll attendant that I wanted to give them each a brighter day.

Endeavor to participate in this positive energy and do an act of kindness to someone you know, a patient, a friend or complete stranger. Share it here and watch how the energy grows.

Riding Satan

I went horseback riding this past weekend with my nephews and niece. My horse was named “Satan”. Satan turned out to be a gentle giant; he even followed his leader and stayed on the path.

During our ride, my little niece fell of her horse and broke her wrist. My family was very upset. Negative thoughts and words were flying everywhere. Years ago, before I had learned the power of living in Hope with an abundant attitude; I may have jumped on that negativity band wagon too. Instead, I taught my niece and nephews the “Find the Good” game. It goes something like this; you take a bad situation and turn it into something good. For example, “Kailie fell off her horse, hurt her wrist …..and the good part is we had an opportunity to spend the afternoon outside on a glorious day and enjoy time with family and nature.”

It takes a bit of effort and at first appears to go against our logic, but soon you realize how much better it feels to focus on the good. We spent the entire afternoon playing the “Find the Good” game, it got silly at the end, but we laughed and enjoyed the entire day, Kailie even forgot completely about her wrist. Humans have the inherent tendency to immediately focus on the bad, but every situation “is what it is”. Every situation that is bad, actually has an equally good side. It is just a reflection of our mind, our attitude and a conscious decision on how we respond.

I have been challenged for many years by Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disease that causes moderate to severe weakness, fatigue and other issues. MG obviously has its hardships, struggles; with potentially physical and emotional pains and losses. I experienced significant losses in all areas of my life and struggled with severe MG for years (decades). But I have realized through my study of healing and advancing my recovery, that even MG, as bad as it has been for me, has many good things too. For example, the good part about MG is ….that I have taken the time, energy and effort to study life success and advancing recovery. Had I not gone through this adversity, I would never had been open minded and open hearted to study, learn and internalize a life filled with Hope and an Abundant Attitude.

So when you are facing massive adversity, and at times MG felt almost unbearable, remember that it is only through adversity that we become who we need to be to reach our goals. Napoleon Hill in the chapter on Persistence in his book "Think & Grow Rich" wrote it so well when he said that " every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent benefit".

May I propose that everyone take an opportunity to think and post at least one good thing that has come out of an experience with adversity. If you feel buried in the issues, may I offer my articles “Change of Focus”, “ABCs of an Abundant Attitude” or “Top Ten List of Positives of the Chronic Illness Experience” to help spark some ideas. All can be downloaded free from my Acquired Hope website at http://www.acquiredhope.com This way of thinking and way of being has allowed my to go into remission and beat my chronic illness. I completely healed myself, I cured myself by changing the way I think and feel, by changing my attitude. As silly as it sounds, it is absolutely possibly, I know it, I did it. You can beat anything, you can change your results in any areas of your life, you just need to learn how and make a committment to do it and persevere. When you commit, the universe bends around you to provide you with all the assistance you need to meet your goals. Acquiring hope and an abundant attitude, living in the now being focused on gratitude and abundance really does provide for a richer, fuller, healthier life!

Thank you for the opportunity to share this “Find the Good” game with you and I hope you enjoy it. Enjoy living in Hope and with an Abundant Attitude!

FIT Attitude

FIT Attitude
I like to think of a full and complete attitude as FIT. A fully FIT attitude is one that has an alignment of Feelings, Intuition and Thoughts. I love the saying that Prayer is when a person talks to God or their Higher Power. But intuition is God or our Higher Power talking to us. A person who has a strong intuition listens to the guidance and Divine inspiration that is running through them. Many people work very hard at developing and maintain a strong sense of intuition. I do. I work at it, daily. So, a fully FIT attitude will be one that is strong and effective because their feelings, intuition and thoughts are all in alignment and they are all working with high, positive vibrations. A person who has a FIT attitude will also see the results that they imagine and desire. They are winning; they also reach their goals on continuously and effortlessly.

I see individuals who are thinking positive thoughts and feeling good, but they ignore that intuition, that Divine guidance and inspiration. It is that Divine guidance and inspiration, the message from your God or Higher Power that leads you to perform inspired actions. It is the actions that ultimately provide you with your results and your condition, circumstance and environment.

Are you working with a FIT attitude?

FAT Attitude

FAT Attitude
Is your attitude truly and fully FAT? I like to think of a complete attitude as one that is strong, effective, inspirational and attractive. It is one that has an alignment of Feelings, Actions and Thoughts. Our attitudes are said to be a composite of our thoughts, actions and feelings. When one is working with a fully FAT attitude, they are seeing the results that they imagine and desire, they are winning, they reach their goals continuously and effortlessly. They are successful in every way.

But many times I see individuals with incomplete or ineffective attitudes, as their attitudes are not fully FAT, meaning they may have positive thoughts, thoughts of a high vibration and yet their feelings are not the same or their actions do not reflect these thoughts.

For example, a person may think they are being positive and say positive things, but they have feelings of doubt and/or limitation deep inside of them in their subconscious. Or they think positive thoughts and perform actions that are in opposition to their thoughts. These people are not working with a strong and effective attitude; it is an attitude that is not complete or fully FAT. These people are not seeing the results that they want, they are not winning. Are you working with a FAT attitude?

Live in the Now!

Live in the Now: life is a journey, enjoy the journey do not focus on the destination. That is also a message in a movie I saw recently "The Peaceful Warrior"...very good!

There are only three: past, PRESENT, future. It's been said that most folks only spend 1% of their life in the present. Allow and demand of yourself to be fully present in the moment. Those that do live in the present are the small percentage that choose their results and make things happen.

Reject thinking that doesn't support your chosen writing objective, including rejecting non-article related mental chatter (your kids soccer game, your workout tonight, your relationships with others, your toys, etc). Your goal is to zero in on the task in front of you. Enter the zone. Deny all incoming calls. Don't check your email. Move to a place and time you can write without being disturbed. When you become fully present, endeavor to live and the Universe will bend around you. You will be happier, more focused, fullfilled and successful at whatever you do.

Managing Our Three Resources

Here is another neat thing to think about:

We need resources to live, improve, advance, succeed and give back to others. Yet we really only have three resources: Time, Money and Energy.

In reality we can only manage and increase one of them. We want to increase these resources so we can lead fuller, more productive lives and better serve others. Do you know which one of the three resources we can manage and increase?!?!?!

I found this rather interesting... time, despite all those books and courses on time management, time cannot be managed. We always have 24 hours in a day, no more, no less, you cannot increase time. Therefore time cannot be managed. Now, activities can be managed but activities are not a resource.

Energy cannot be increased, remember back in physics class, where potential energy and kinetic energies of an object are always equal, energy is, it is neither created nor destroyed... it just is .... when a ice cube melts to water, the energy of the molecules is the same, although they are no moving at a hiher velocity. So energy cannot be increased and it cannot be managed.

So, that leaves money, money is the only resource that we have that we can manage and increase. The sources are abundant. So if we want to increase our resources so that we lead fuller lives, become more successful professionals, expand our practices and business offerings, better serve our patients and communities, we need to learn how to increase this resource, how to make more money, how to create and attract wealth. When you think about it for a while, it makes sense.... I am fascinated by the information out there. Thank you again for letting me share my thoughts with you all!

Inspirational Quote and Directed Action

“Let a man radically alter his thoughts, and he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will effect in the material conditions of his life.”
-James Allen

Today’s Inspired Action:
Master the creative visualization process by adding clarity and emotions to your visions and dreams.

Excerpt "365 Days of Abundant Hope" book

Creative Power: Mental Exercises

Mental exercise to inspire creativity, flex your creative mind muscles:

Assume the opposite: When faced with an issue or situation that you believe you know the cause or root of the problem, assume the opposite. Imagine the factor to be entirely different or even that the factor does not exist at all. Make a list of what other possibilities may be causing the problem.

Change your conditions, circumstance or environment: Something as simple as changing your physical location, the time of evaluation, your thoughts and feelings at the moment can open up your mind to the creative flow of opportunity and possibilities. If you are feeling stuck on issues and roadblocks, change location, go outside or listen to some uplifting, energetic music. Work in another room or turn on different lighting. Change your mood and you can change your mindset. This can have a dramatic effect on your prespective, thoughts, feelings and therefore your congruent actions.

Seek Out Opportunities: Have a wild brainstorming session, create a list of 30 or more ways or possible outcomes. Do not stop until you have at least 30, there is no limit on what you write down, no matter how outlandish the ideas seem at the moment. Seek out different ideas, thoughts and ways of looking at the situation and ways of solving the situation. Never underestimate the power of asking!

Shift your perspective: look at the situation from another persons view or vantage point. Take yourself out of the situation and put on objective eyeglasses. Try to view the issue from as many perspectives as you can. Explore how these various perspectives and vantage points make you feel. Create a new reflection point. Follow those that leave you with only positive thoughts and emotions. Be a good finder. After each issue or idea, add the statement “and the good thing is (Blank)” (I learned this trick from Jack Canfield from the Secret Science of Getting Rich program). This practice will help guide you to open opportunities based on good emotions, thoughts and actions, this will help you to hold only positive thoughts and emotions in your mind, as you continue your evaluation process.

Make time for creativity: explore the power of self-hypnosis and meditation to allow your imagination to create the images of the results, goals, dreams and things you wish to manifest in your life. Actually see the result occurring, work from the end. Focus on the end result, see it in your mind, hold it in your thoughts. Make a commitment to the process and approach and you will transform your life and results. Become consciously aware of the creative power within you and follow those actions that are inspired and powered by your creative time and energies. This will deeply impact your results and your success. This part is neccessary for fast results.

www.SecretScienceOfGettingRichProgram.com and www.ChooseYourResults.com

Action: Unleashing Your Creative Power

Action:

Action is required in order to manifest new results. Putting a new process or technique into action can being overwhelming, intimidating and frightening when one is not prepared. Effective actions are successful actions. Successful actions result from knowing the issue, thinking of possible outcomes, targeting the preferred outcome, developing goals and a plan to obtain that outcome and becoming fully engaged in your plan, with 100% effort, always holding in your head, the chosen result and believing that you are continuously moving forward towards realizing it.

Attitude: Unleash Your Creative Power

Attitude:
"Your attitude is the composite of your thoughts, feelings and actions" - Bob Proctor from Secret Science of Getting Rich Program.

When you have a congruent attitude, you hold and maintain all positive thoughts, feelings and forward actions or all negative thoughts feelings and backwards actions. Tapping into your creative power requires an open mind. This means your attitude; your thoughts, feelings and actions must be those of willingness. A willingness to imagine and see new ideas, opportunities and possibilities from a perspective of infinite possibilities. This willingness will enhance your mental dexterity and enable you to look at situations with a spin, while holding in your mind the attitude of opportunity and creativity as opposed to focusing on roadblock that situations and issues can create.

This ability to shift your mindset, your perception and attitude will leverage your strengths because you will begin to focus on what can be done and how you can use your skills and talents to create the results you desire and to become fully engaged in your plan. The alternative path, which is typically the road more frequently traveled, is one that focuses on the obstacles and the reasons why it cannot be done. Since your thoughts control what you manifest in your life, your results, you choose your outcome: one of possibility and created to your liking, or the other, one of lack, limitation and dissatisfaction. It is your choice, you can choose your results, but it all starts with the right attitude.

http://www.SecretScienceOfGettingRichProgram.com and www.ChooseYourResults.com

Aptitude: Unleashing Your Creative Powers

Aptitude:
Creativity is an aptitude that everyone possesses, yet not everyone fully expresses. Independent of what your individual talents are, you use creativity everyday in how you approach and perceive life situations, issues and people. The difference between people who use their creative power to choose their results and manifest outcomes they desire lies in the degree or depth of their belief and in what ways they decide to use creativity in daily life and the thought process.

Aptitude in relation to creativity means the ability to create new ideas and thoughts from the inside, regardless of the appearance or influence of external factors by combining, changing or reapplying ones that already exist. It allows you to take from what you already know and build on it, to create an experience that is new and different, yet out of past experiences to get new results.

Aptitude develops out of awareness and develops as one gains experience and advances towards the Mastermind level.

Creative Decision Making

Creative Decision Making
Creativity is a trait everyone is born with, but not all of us use it or feel we have it. Creative power is power seeking further self expression or advancement, a higher level of function of an activity, skill or experience. This creative power is evident in children as they play make-believe and invent their own realities and games, create imaginary friends or places or adventures. Sadly, some how along the way, we tend to lose this creative capacity and replace it with conditioning of rigid rules and guidelines from our parents, schools, organizations and society. But it is this imagination, this imagined reality that allows us all to explore our world and our opportunities; it is this creative power that once we learn to apply it, it can be used to create our own results. We can channel it to create new conditions, circumstances and environments, those situations that we have imagined, can become our reality. Becoming comfortable with your own creative power and unleashing the creative power inside of you is in part a learned process and part of learning how to choose your results. It is developed as we begin to see and understand that out of creative thinking, we can explore, imagine, create and manifest results and outcomes, possibility and solutions, that were not evident before. That is when the real magic begins.

Opening up to creative thinking and creative powers allow you to see possibilities, opportunities and answers, rather than just “the” answer. It is a knowing that anything is possible, and that there may be multiple possibilities, we just need to open ourselves up to that belief. Holding the feeling tone of possibility and holding a knowing of infinite possibility is a choice, a matter of perspective. Sometimes it is just a result of increased awareness. Creativity and creative power is an ability, or aptitude to imagine or invent something new, something that is new and different from past experience, but that often comes out of past experience. Using creative powers to choose your results involves a combination of aptitude, attitude and action.

Limitations and Choosing Your Results

When working through an issue, an effective way of achieving the results you want comes from breaking down and exploring the various types of limitations we encounter and developing an action plan to overcome the limitation to achieve success.

Control limitations: Determine the amount of direct control you have over the situation or issue. Limitations are typically related to levels of knowledge, skill, awareness, role responsibility or authority. By exploring your limitations you can take effective action in order to gain confidence, wisdom or divert to the appropriate person with the authority or in the appropriate role. Work in cooperation with these parties in order to secure the results you choose.

Total Value Limitations: Determine if it is a fight worth taking on. You may find yourself in a situation where you have enough control or authority to effect a change, but you realize the gain will not be worth the effort, time, money or energy of making the decision. This involves management of the three critical resources of time, money and energy. In the end the gain has to be worth more than the risk associated with making the change.

Acceptance Limitations: Determine if it is a situation that you are in alignment with, evaluate your emotional responses and feeling toward the direction of the result. If you can live with the situation, move on. Acceptance is not always agreement, but a decision and choice to live with a disagreeable situation that is beyond your control. The secret in choosing your results also involves identifying situations in which you may be agreeable to disagree and live in the choice of disagreeing when the situation is out of your control.

Once you have explored these factors, you can determine an appropriate response to the situation. In order to choose your results when facing an uncomfortable issue or circumstance evaluate the most appropriate response from below.

Look for a different perspective: There may be conditions or understandings that are influencing the outcomes which are currently beyond your level of knowledge or awareness. This may involve a paradigm shift and going through the terror barrier.

Influence a different outcome: You may be in a position to influence key decision makers into making a change and adopting your beliefs. Practice the art of persuasion, know what outcome you desire and work from the end.

Accept what cannot be changed: You may not have enough direct control over the outcomes when faced with issues where you lack the full authority or responsibility or control, the best result is to make peace with the situation and agree to disagree or accept the outcome. You are choosing peace with the results.

Negative Emotions Associated with Conflict or Change

Negative Emotions Associated with Conflict or Change
Let’s examine the negative emotions associated with the terror barrier or conflict.
Fear, frustration and lack of control are the most common ones, I have an entire article titled "Change of Focus" posted on www.AcquiredHope.com and book "Acquired Hope" that details all of the negative emotions dealing with coping with change. Overcoming these negative emotions and getting the results you want often comes with a change in perspective.

Frustrations and fear often develop out of feelings of a lack of control. Understand this, control, in the sense of determining an absolute outcome or result, is usually limited to oneself. You cannot control another person. All you can do is control your own thoughts, feelings and actions. When you understand this, you stop wasting time, energy and effort trying to control others, and you learn to focus your energy on creating the appropriate thoughts, which lead to only positive feelings, inspired actions and hence a new set of conditions, circumstances and environments, which lead to new results. These will be the results of your liking, as these are results that you have chosen. You and only you have now created this new set of results.

Now, you cannot control other human beings, but you do have the ability to influence people and therefore influence results. The art of influencing involves persuasion, enticing or swaying the other person to adopt your point of view, your reflection point, your opinion or in the sales world, your product. They often say that closing a sale is merely getting the other person to adopt your belief in your product. You have successfully influenced their actions and believe to be in alignment with yours.

What most people want is control over outcomes, but rarely do they have the personal power to make changes to secure the cooperation of other and truly achieve the results they want.

Learn this skill, obtain this power, it is all about awareness. Learn to choose your results: www.ChooseYourResults.com

Wisdom and Awareness

Wisdom is the ability to exercise good judgment. When we are faced with challenging issues or circumstances in which we are not familiar with, when we face the “terror barrier”, wisdom is needed. Often times wisdom is the having the awareness of the situation and the knowing of the possibly outcomes and then establishing a plan in order to obtain the outcome or outcomes of your choosing, as opposed to leaving the end result up to chance. Which often times is not the result we desire and not the result of our choice. By leveraging experience and understanding, you can gain clarity, confidence and power in taking effective actions in order to resolve the issue, frustrations, fear and to regain focus.

Wisdom allows you to respond as opposed to react in a situation. This is part of the process of being able to choose your results.

Breaking through the terror barrier becomes easy, once you learn what is going on, that you are shifting paradigms or conditioning and you change the emotion from fear to one of acceptance.

Begin to Choose Your Results

Many of us are currently challenged with at least one issue in our lives that we are not comfortable with because it is moving in a direction toward a result we do not like. This experience and awareness can cause a lot of personal frustration, fear or other negative emotions and cloud our image or focus of personal success.

We all have tendencies to feel either overly responsible or under concerned and while these emotions are complete opposites, they lead to the same end result: passivity. Feeling that one is overly responsible can cause us to want to make changes in things that we cannot or even possibly should not. This can effect leave us feeling overwhelmed, fearful and may cause us to retreat or shut down as to not have to deal with the issue. Being under concerned can cause us to ignore or delay important changes that we need to initiate and lead to passivity in our very lack of engagement. Part of choosing your results is learning and understanding when to take effective action and when to let go of issues. This can save us time, energy, frustration and needless worry, while at the same time produce the results we are seeking. We become more involved in taking effective action and more engaged in our plan.

Begin to choose your results, achieve a higher level of awareness.

Anyone can, success and becoming wealthy comes down to a science, a science with a predictable outcome. Those who succeed and become wealthy know something. They understand something. You can too.

Secret Science to Getting Rich
Secret Science to Getting Rich Have you heard of the DVD called "the Secret"? The Secret uses transformational learning so that the audience actually internalizes the concepts and adopts that way of thinking as their way of being. The movie has a central theme called "the Law of Attraction". The law of attraction states that what we think about, we bring about, our thoughts manifest into our life experience. In fact, the movie itself was inspired by this very same law when the producer read a book called "the Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles. This books was written in 1910. Little did Wallace know how he would transform the thinking of the world, 100 years later!

The law of attraction states that we create our reality, both good and bad! Following on the success of the Secret, 3 of the core teachers - namely Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield have collaborated to produce a wealth building program called "the Secret Science of Getting Rich Seminar". This program is based on the book that inspired the movie and is set to make history as the fastest selling personal development program in history. The Secret Science to Getting Rich allows people to learn, with predictable results, how to create wealth, and doing so from a home based business!

What is the Science of Getting Rich about? Well in the words of Wallace D. Wattles, "The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law, like gravity or polarity, that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich." The Science of Getting Rich is all about teaching how to do things in this "certain" way to create wealth.

The success of this program is built on several solid foundations. These factors include: the phenomenal success of "the Secret", the timeless concepts from the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, the credibility of successful personal improvement teachers and New Thought leaders of our time, and the Internet as the distribution medium.

Law of Attraction: Miracles of Healing

Law of Attraction
Understanding the Law of Attraction is most critical to your success in recovering and acquiring hope. Simply put the Law of Attraction states that “I attract into my life whatever I give my energy, focus and attention to, whether unwanted or wanted or conscious or unconscious.” This means that you can have anything you choose, no matter how big it is. This means if we learn how to apply the law of attraction, we can learn how to achieve miracles of healing. We can achieve greater levels of function and recovery.

The Law of Attraction works because we all have one infinite Power; a God, Higher Power or Universe, and that we all guide ourselves by laws; natural laws of the universe, such as the law of gravity and the law of attraction. The law of attraction can best be described as a magnetic force, that like thoughts attract like experiences. That these laws of nature are so precise, that when man thinks about things, he or she can accomplish miracles. The law of attraction says that everything in your life is attracted to you by your thoughts. The Universe takes these thoughts as instructions, and manifests what you think about and focus on, into your life’s experience.

For example, if you think and focus about how sick, tired and emotionally strained you are, you will become sicker, tired and emotionally strained. The more you think and focus on your current situation, wanted or unwanted, the more tolerable or intolerable your situation will become. If you worry and are angry about your loss of function and pain from your illness or about not having good health, you are practically guaranteeing yourself an experience of lack of health. If you are constantly jealous and bitter towards others, as they have health and you do not, you are going to attract more jealousy and bitterness into your experience. What you resist persists and what you fear perseveres.

Our Thoughts have Frequencies
Our thoughts have frequencies, so when you think about or imagine what you want, such as good health, the ability to exercise, the ability to feel good, your thoughts go out to the universe or Higher Power and the universe or Higher Power brings it to you. So if you see yourself living in a healthy body, you will attract this into your experience. So whether you are thinking about your past experiences, your present situation or your future, and whether you are remembering, observing or imagining, the universe or Higher Power is listening and responding by bringing that thought and those things right back to you.

Attracting Thoughts and Things by Using your Mind
Your mind is a sender and receiver of information far beyond the five senses. You can attract thoughts and things into your life, just by using your mind. Think about driving on some remote country road. You try scanning your radio to find a new radio station for some good traveling music. Until you tune into a station, you will not hear the music. But that does not mean that it is not already out there, nor that other people are not already listening to it. The same principle applies to whatever you are attracting into your life. What you are experiencing is dependent upon what frequencies your thoughts are emitting their information on. When you send it out thoughts or information, a message to the Universe or Higher Power, by the power and vibrations of your mind and of your thoughts, you will attract it back to you, into your experience. It is quite a complex theory the first time you hear and consider it. But as you think about it and look around into your world, you will see that indeed this is true. Learn to use information to attract better an abundance of all good things to your life. Visit www.AcquiredHope.com and www.AcquireAbundance.com for free resources and programs.

Chronic Ways of Thought
If one has a prolonged negative chronic way of thinking about their illness, according to the law of attraction, these thoughts will manifest into existence. Their experience will be that of chronic illness and lack. If one is thinking about how bad it is, then they will get more of how bad it is. If one is thinking of how good it is, then they will get more of how good it is. If one is thinking of how good their health is, they will have more good health. If one can accept and practice this concept, one can transform their life.

The key concept to take away is that we are all the architects of our life, good or bad. All of our problems are created by us and us alone, not by your parents, partner, boss, friends, accident, disease, upbringing or family. All of our successes were created by us and us alone, not by luck or chance. We have created them, each and every one. This may be really difficult to accept if this is the first time you are hearing this concept. But once you do, your life can transform into a whole new world, with unlimited possibilities and success, good health, hope and joy.
Life is full of challenges, when faced with a chronic illness or injury, one can either focus on lack and feel blame, or learn from their situation. One can be a victim or a victor. When one chooses to be a victim, he or she blames others, blames their circumstances or blames themselves, they focus on the lack. When on chooses to be a victor, they learn from the situation and grow to be even stronger than before, they use their new knowledge, make positive changes and increase their fulfillment. Are you choosing to be a victim or a victor? Learn how to acquire hope and be a victor!

We have the power to attract more good things, more good health into our experience. One just needs to learn how to apply the laws of attraction and remain focused on what he or she really wants. Consistent thought and affirmations will shift your mind and your energy and allow greater health to come into your experience. Most times, this is a learned skill and hope is acquired. Faith comes from prolonged, sustained and subconscious hope.

Expand Your Awareness

Expand Your Awareness
So how does one become more aware and learn how to work at their full potential and realize their goals? They progress through the seven levels of awareness. These levels are as follows:

Our first level of awareness is our animal awareness, this level is innate, we are aware of ourselves and others, we are aware of the needs to sustain life. At this level, life is pretty much managed by subconscious instincts.

The second level of awareness is the mass level. This is where an individual's awareness remains quite limited. Their decisions are based upon what everyone else is doing, they do not think for themselves. These people have thoughts, feelings and core beliefs that are based on the external world and other people. They conform, they follow the masses. These people do not choose their own thoughts. The majority of people, more than half, are at this level and stay at this level their entire life time. These individual do not use creative thought. Most of them are not happy with their current results.

The third level of awareness is aspiration. This is where an individual becomes aware of deep feelings and desires that may be different than that of what everyone else is doing and they start to explore these feelings, desires and thoughts. They are wanting more, they want further growth and development professionally and personally, they aspire to be more. This is when they want to break away from the masses and become an individual.

The fourth level of awareness is the individual level or stage. This is where a person uses creative thought to create their own identity statement; this is the who, what and the why, their ultimate purpose in life, their own personal “because”. This is the level where they figure out their passion, their goals, their dreams and their plans, and this purpose is unique to that individual. These are the individual reasons and purposes that drive us.

A fair percentage of individuals make it to these 3rd and 4th levels, unfortunately for many, limiting beliefs, poor self esteem, lack of confidence, feelings of doubt or other negative emotions keep many people here and they are unable to break free to the next levels of awareness. These individuals who remain in these levels never really quite get the results they desire or reach their goals efficiently or timely. These people do not get or maintain a congruent attitude of abundance. As we discussed in secret #3, 2 of the 3 congruence variable do not cut it, you will not achieve success unless you remain congruent.

The next level of awareness is discipline. This is where an individual becomes aware of how to use thought, goals, planning, and desire to manifest the outcomes and results they want. Those with discipline to stay on course, steadfast towards their goals, no matter what is happening around them or what other people (the masses) are saying to or about them, those that learn, study, practice and habituate the science of success and wealth reach this level. Many drop out here and fail to progress beyond this point due to lack of discipline or lack of congruence or give up too soon before their results manifest, often times just before they reach their goals. Those that move on to the next level of awareness practice these habits of success are rewarded. They are successful in choosing their results.

Stop a moment and take an opportunity to think about why we want to aspire for more, it is to better serve others and to live a fuller life. Those individuals who have a strong desire to do things better move forward through the various levels of awareness.

The 6th level of awareness is experience. Through the study and habituation of the skills and knowledge of how to become successful and wealthy, and through steadfast discipline, one will begin to see how the process works. When they see the results they desire manifest, they will become stronger in how they practice and do more of the same. When they do not see the results they desire, they will change what they are doing, practice with discipline until they see the results they desire.

The 7th level of awareness is becoming a mastermind. Only a very small percentage of the population reaches this point. These individuals have learned the science of success, they understand how the science and process works, they have fine tuned their practices and habits based on their experience and are extremely effective at attracting success, resources, people and even wealth. They are very effective and efficient in reaching their goals, receiving their desires and manifesting the results that they want. They choose their results.

Think of the capacity of helping others, serving others better and achieving your desires, when you can choose your results. Think of the positive impact you can have on your life and other peoples' lives when you are a mastermind. Every one of us reading this article has the mental facilities and capacity to become a mastermind.

Are You In The Present?

Did you know that it has been said that most individuals only spend 1% of their life focusing in the present? Most people do not focus on their current tasks and activities. They are thinking about their past; the fight they had last night with their significant other, the children’s soccer game after work, the weekend plans, etc. They do not allow and demand of themselves to actually fully be and act in the present. Did you know that it has been said that only 2% of the population actually thinks creatively? In addition, 3% of individuals think that they think, and 95% of the population would rather die than think? Since thought has been linked to results and understanding that mental activity does not constitute as thinking, this means only a small percentage of the population really understand and uses the power of creative thinking to fast forward to their goals and realize their ideals. These are the people that are extremely successful, they choose their results.

Being Congruent: Your Attitude

Being Congruent: Your Attitude
As obvious as this sounds, it goes very very deep, so you may want to read this several times. Adopting and living with an abundant attitude is something that you believe and live at your very core. I love the way Bob Proctor explains attitude in his program, "Attitude is the composite of your thoughts, feelings and actions".

You must choose to live with an attitude of abundance, so that all of your thoughts, feelings and actions are those that reflect abundance.

Now comes the deep part. You must keep your attitude and core beliefs in alignment, we call this congruence. Have you ever said something that was really positive and inspiring, but yet in the back of your mind held onto feelings of doubt, fear or anxiety? If you use positive thinking, great, but if you use positive thinking and yet feel feelings of lack, fear or doubt, you are not feeling positive and ultimately your positive thinking will get you no where. You must truly align your thoughts, feelings and actions into positive, high vibrations. It is not until you master the art of being congruent with an abundant attitude, that you will be able to realize true success.
Congruence is the condition that all parts of you are in alignment. You must align these three key parts.

•DESIRE: The first key part is desire. You must want it. You must want abundant wealth/health/whatever you desire so badly that you are willing to make changes. You must want abundance and wealth in every cell and fiber of your being.

•DESERVE: The second key to becoming perfectly aligned and congruent is to deserve it, this is self-acceptance. This is also your self esteem, you must believe that you deserve success/health/love/your goals/wealth and abundance in all good things.

•BELIEVE: The third key part is belief. You must believe, with faith and purpose that you can achieve a great success and wealth. Part of this is developing hope and faith, I like to call it Acquiring Hope, as for all of us, it is a learned process and skill (http://www.AcquiredHopeBook.com)

You must be congruent on all three of these key factors-to your core. If one of these key factors is diffused, you will be ineffective in achieving success and wealth. For example, if you want to experience success and even feel that you deserve it, but after several weeks or months you do still not have it, you may begin to question your beliefs, maybe you believe that it is not true, that this process does not work, that you are not doing something correctly. Two out of three does not cut it. You are no longer congruent. You will not be able to choose your results or attract things that will make you successful.

Every part of you must buy in to these concepts and an attitude of abundance; you must want it, believe it is coming to you and believe you deserve it- in your mind, body and soul. When you have these three key factors in alignment, you are a power to behold. This process may take months or years to happen, most times it does not happen overnight or all at once.

For some of us, it is a result of going through a bad experience that forced us into a position of a matter of survival. Then one day, we realize that “my day is here” and everything falls into place, and the tools and resources that we need in order to advance our recovery are shown to us and we are now willing to accept them, practice them and habituate them in order to transform our life of lack into a magical experience of a life of abundance. The seed was planted, and now it is ripe and ready to bear fruit. Obtaining success and wealth results from having an abundant attitude and being congruent.

The more aligned you are with the things you want, the more powerful you attract them. The things you congruently want have no choice but to be attracted to you. People who are congruent are attractive, magnetic-even charismatic. When you are fully congruent, you are irresistible. –Mark Victor Hansen.

Enjoy your abundant and congruent you!

An Abundant Attitude: Your Core Beliefs

An Abundant Attitude: Your Core Beliefs
Your success is dependent upon your state of mind and your attitude. You have all heard it before: attitutude is everything. This hardly is a secret to success. But the secret to success is in developing the core beliefs about yourself. Contrary to how most of us grew up, seeking approval from our parents, teachers, peers and bosses. These are all external factors, outside of us, that can have a direct impact on how we feel about ourselves. Take that C you got on an important examination during college, although you studied hard for it, you got the C. This is not a reflection of you being a C student, this is a single incident that occured, nothing more. How you look at yourself and what you believe about yourself will decide your success and your results. These are your core beliefs.

Let me continue to explain that if you do not agree with or comply with who you are and want to be, people will see you as a "poser" or a fake, you must make sure that your attitude is congruent with your beliefs. The art of choosing your results comes with the skill of choosing your thoughts. You have the ability to choose your thoughts and your beliefs. You have the ability to reject all of those external factors and to create your own new thoughts. It does not matter what your situation is, you can still decide to choose your own thoughts from the inside and create new core beliefs, beliefs that emulate an abundant attitude.

Core beliefs come before success. These beliefs lead to certain thoughts, feelings and actions. Those actions are the things that produce your results. It is these core beliefs and actions that turn you into the person that you want to be, bring about the results you desire and ultimately allow you to attract that which you want to you.

Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction
The law of attraction has gotten alot of attention lately, so it may be something that you are familiar with. If you are not, it is critical that you understand it well.
Simply put the Law of Attraction states that “I attract into my life whatever I give my energy, focus and attention to, whether unwanted or wanted or conscious or unconscious.” This means that you can have anything you choose, no matter how big it is. This means if we learn how to apply the law of attraction, we can learn how to achieve great success in anything we put our minds to. We can achieve greater levels of success, wealth and prosperity that we had not dared to imagine before. We can empower ourselves.

The law of attraction can best be described as a magnetic force, that like thoughts attract like experiences. That these laws of nature are so precise, that when man thinks about things, he or she can accomplish miracles. The law of attraction says that everything in your life is attracted to you by your thoughts. The Universe takes these thoughts as instructions, and manifests what you think about and focus on, into your life’s experience. If you are thinking thoughts of lack, limitation and debt, that will continue to be your experience, it is law. If you change your thoughts to those of abundance, success, wealth, prosperity and infinite opportunity, you will attract these things to you as your new experience. This is how you start to change your results, this is how you choose your results.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.”-Eden Phillpotts

Acquired Hope Website: Improved!

I wanted to share that I have redone and improved my Acquired Hope website, please stop by, I have posted lots of material and resources about my books, optimal health and living in a mindset of abundance...of all good things!

http://www.AcquiredHope.com

Life is Meant To Be Abundant!

This may be an abstract concept for many. It took me awhile to accept it when I first heard it, and I had to study and study the concept until I believed it myself. It goes against what many of us have been told or taught all of our lives. Whether you were raised in a family with a poverty mindset or grew up experiencing continuous financial issues or if you are currently still trading your time for money in your job as you try to pay off your debt. The truth is really that there is no such thing as lack or limitation, there is enough money in the world for all of us to be rich, wealthy and prosperous. This is the truth for you even if it is not in front of you at this exact moment. If you do not believe this, you push against it and it then wealth cannot come into your experience. You will remain poor and unsuccessful.

So mastering the secret to success and the ability to choose your results starts in having the mindset and belief that life is meant to be abundant and there is an abundance of opportunity for you! You were meant to have everything and anything that you desire. Learn to reject thoughts of scarcity, limitation, lack and poverty. Fill your mind with thoughts and images of wealth, prosperity, success and the luxuries of financial freedom. When you do, you will start the magnetic process of attracting wealth to you. You will magnetically attract resources, money, people opportunities that support you and provide you with everything that you need to live a life of abundance. You can start to realize a result of success and wealth, you can choose a result that is different than the one you currently have.

I used to think that wealth and prosperity belonged only to people that I considered exceptional or better than me. I grew up in a family with a poverty, scarcity mindset, that there was never enough to go around. My parents used to say, "life is not fair", "life is hard", "money makes people mean". The truth is, that none of those statements are true. They are purely excuses and limiting beliefs, a conditioning that was probably passed down to my parents from their parents or other external influences like schools, newspapers, television or society.

Life is meant to be abundant!!!! Endeavor to believe it and live as such!

My Story

I have Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a chronic, debilitating autoimmune disease that results in extreme fatigue, exhaustion and weakness, thus potentially resulting in the lack of ability and function. For several years I suffered severely from the symptoms of MG. I was devasted physically, emotionally, financially, professionally, spiritually and personally. I felt frustrated, angry, lonely, isolated, sad, fearful and lost. I fought the disease and pushed against it only to find myself sicker and even further from my dreams, goals and desires. I intently wanted good health and a better way of living. So I studied a different approach, one of personal empowerment. I applied this approach to my health and that of recovery. I developed a process of transformation to good health. This process is all about desiring, deserving and believing that good health can also be yours. I advanced my recovery significantly, and so can you. I will show you how to take the journey of advanced recovery and empowerment, if you are ready to acquire hope.

Reaching for Abundant Health: When It Is Not Yet There

Research shows that out of all the health care problems in the United States, nearly 80 percent relate to chronic illness or disability. There are over 290 million people in the U.S. who have a chronic illness or medical condition, some statistics state 1 in 5 adults! We are many in numbers. We come in every age, shape, size, color, ethnic and socioeconomic background. The medical community is well equipped to manage our acute episodes; however, it is not well equipped to give us the kind of support we really need to lead fully functional lives. Nearly everyone is seeking better health.

My books "Acquired Hope" and "365 Days of Abundant Hope" are intended for anyone who is coping with an illness, addictive disease, disability or injury-related condition and everyone who is seeking better health, higher levels of function and anyone who is seeking to experience a life of good health.

If you do not have optimal health or levels of function, you can improve this! By learning this step by step process, we can stop our physical problems from getting worse and lead happier, more fulfilling lives. By acquiring hope and learning these techniques, we can recover. We can obtain and maintain higher levels of health and function!

Hope, the best comfort of our imperfect condition.”

Live a Life of Abundance

Life Expressions: Mind, Body and Soul
A man or woman develops in life in mind, body and soul. This is desire for more life expressing itself. The journey and inherent nature of all life is development and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development that it is capable of attaining. The purpose of Nature is the advancement of life; every man and woman should have the abundant health, wealth and prosperity so that they can contribute to the power, elegance, and beauty and be able to participate in all that life and this universe has to offer us. Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of; this desire is innate and inherent in all living things. We all feel that urge and need to move forward. Do you notice when you are not happy when you are bored or idle? That is the desire inside of you for more life, better health, forward advancement and the innate wish to experience new things. We cannot help feeling this way. Good health and success in life is being or becoming all that you want to be or wish to be. Are you healthy and successful?

Creating Abundance, Success and a Fuller Life
In my experience, I have learned that obtaining optimal levels of health was also dependent upon me obtaining higher levels of wealth. This is noble, for it is for the greater good and further life expression. In order to have optimal health, I need wealth. Wealth allows me to focus on recovery, rest, nutrition, exercise and not worrying about my bills. So I studied the Law of Attraction in order to bring about higher levels of wealth and health. It is important, necessary and fun.

Order your Dreams from the Universe

Order Your Dreams from the Universe!
“Desire is God tapping at the door of your mind, trying to give you greater good. That you deeply desire something is positive proof that it has already been prepared for you, and is only waiting for you to recognize and accept it.”
-Catherine Ponder


Today’s Inspired Action:
The Universe is a big warehouse with your name on it. When you desire something you are simply placing your order. Use your imagination to desire something big, believe that anything is possible and place your order with the Universe.

Optimal Health: It is Possible, Read On

Optimal Health: Nutritional Supplements are Recommended
I have read many research articles over the last few years. The reserach indicates that an attention to optimal nutrition is also critical for reaching and maintaining optimal levels of abundant health. The research, the medical journals, they all say the same thing, today’s food is overprocessed and our dietary intake is clearly deficient of all of the essential nurtrients that we need for proper healing and the attainment and maintainment of optimal health.

We live in a world where technology, insecticides, processing, polluted and overchemicalized foods are so deficient in nutrients, that no matter how well we eat, we cannot possibly get all the nutrients we need to heal much less maintain optimal health. Much of the food we buy today goes through approx. 40 different processes before we eat it, each of which reduces nutritional value. U.S. agencies use 3,000 chemicals to add to our foods to rpesever them for long durations of shipping and storage, that americans consume 5 pounds of toxic chemicals each year, all of these synthetic and in our foods.

Vitamins Are Necessary in Your Recovery and for Optimal Health:
If you want to stay sick or just get by with your health, then Do Not take vitamins. If however you would like to be in optimal health and beat chronic illness, then it is necessary to take vitamin supplements every day.

Why take Vitamins:
Vitamins enhance the body’s natural ability to restore and maintain function and good health. They add to the body’s ability to self heal. Our foods are so depelted from essential vitamins and minerals that we are deluded into thinking that if we eat properly we’ll get the vitamins we need. With our technological society, this is no longer possible. I have read numerous articles on this topic and they all say the same thing. Our lifestyles tend to include polluted air, over indulging in fast foods and caffiene drinks, all of these things deplete the body of its natural supply of these critical building blocks.

In addition, because of our illness, we have had to take drugs for years, which also deplete the body of essential health. For example, we are all pretty familiar with the adverse effects of prednison, damagin pretty much all systems in the body, I was on it for 3 years straight. Aspirin and anti-inflammatory meds greatly deplete the body of Vitamin C. In addition all drugs have some deliterious affect on the body and place stress on the body alson increasing the need for vitamin B complex. The mere stress from coping with the illness can cause fear, anxiety, doubt, these negative emotions have been shown to over tax the body, specifically our adrenal glands which skyrocket our nutritional needs.

If you desire optimal health, you MUST focus on good nutrition. You MUST take vitamins.

Which Vitamins to Take:
I have tried various vitamins and supplements over the past few years and have spent the time, money and energy researching. I will pass along my findings to you, but please explore options that best meet your needs! Stay away from cheap grocery store brands, they are poorly made and do not absorb well. Invest in your body and take vitamin supplements that truly provide good nutritional support.

I have found incredible results and felt more energy and vitality from taking the Glyconutrients. These supplements are designed to improve our cellular communication and facilitate healing, and what is the most common cause of most diseases? A break down in blood flow and insuffient nutrients to enable effective and health cellular response and communication.

Please, do your research, but I want to pass along, these products are the ONLY nutritional products that I felt improvement from. And believe me, I tried dozens. But if you want to beat your chronic illness and achieve optimal health, TAKE VITAMINS OF SOME KIND!!!! Please!!!!

Powerful Goal Setting Success Tip

Powerful Goal Setting Success Tip:

We are all aware of how important it is to set goals in order to obtain and measure results and success. But are you doing this? Are you writing your goals down?

I read this the other day in a book: “Set a goal and WRITE IT DOWN. Whatever the goal, the important thing is that you set it, so you’ve got something for which to aim-and that you write it down. There is something magical about writing things down. When you reach that goal, set another and write it down. You’ll be off and running.”

Writing our goals down appears to be a written declaration to ourselves to commit to reaching it. Studies have shown that people who write their goals down, as opposed to just thinking them are far more successful in reaching them.

Fascinating……Start today by committing yourself to attracting abundant health and wealth to you. Write out a goal. Something like: “I (name), make a commitment to myself to focus on achieving success, optimal health and abundant wealth. My goal is to (fill in the blank…).”

Additionally, studies in psychology also show that people are far more likely to reach their goals if they write them and then make them public. So take your written declaration and goal from above and post it on this blog…. send it on an email to your family and friends…post it on your fridge.

Do not skip this or underestimate its power and importance!!!!

Law of Attraction Quote

Law of Attraction Quote

Our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds, and, by means by which no man is familiar, these ‘magnets’ attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.”

–Napolean Hill

Mentors: Move Ahead Quickly

No one moves ahead quickly without significant help from others. Those who have mentors advance more rapidly professionally and personally. But mentoring may not be what you think it is. We all have mentors. We all have many mentors. Sometimes it is just becoming aware of who your mentors are.

Mentors are people in your life who listen, encourage, support, challenge and advise you. They provide direction. They help you to take a look at your situation or issue from a different perspective and help you to see the possibilities and options that you did not see initially. They allow you to make an informed and thoughtful decision and assist in problem solving to increase your confidence, strengthen your abundant attitude. They provide you respect.

Two decades of intensive research has proven what we all know intuitively: those who have significant relationships with people they consider mentors advance more rapidly professionally and personally. They become aware and learn the attributes of successful, fruitful and highly energetic people. No one advances forward quickly without significant help from others.

Traditionally, we think of mentors as our boss, a superior who may be training us for a higher position within an organization. We need to shift our thinking to a more collaborative, developmentally focused view of mentoring. We need to open our minds to who we may consider mentors in our lives. Our mentors may be friends, co workers, family, authors or clergy. We all have potential mentors around us each and every day. This team of potential mentors has our personal growth and development in mind and of which any of them are experienced and able to guide us or provide direction.

When you are in need of assistance or guidance making an important decision or obtaining knowledge on a certain skill, task or career, it is recommended that you create a mentor list. On the left hand side of a piece of paper, list the current issues or opportunities. On the right hand side, list the names of people you know or trust to help you to make a confident and purposeful decision. Do not worry so much about matching the people up; just put the names on the paper. Think with an open mind. Try to come up with 10-15 names. Next, reflect on each person, what they like, how they form their opinions, what experience or expertise they offer and what you admire about them. Remember, one does not need to be an expert in an area in order to offer you good sound advice on your personal or professional development. Develop a team of mentors and advance your success and abundant attitude in record timing.

The Mentors of the Secret are some of the best mentors I have ever had. They say that you become the composite of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Why not surround yourself and fill your time with the experience and success of the masterminds of the Secret: http://www.SecretScienceofGettingRichProgram.com or www.ChooseYourResults.com

Are You Success Savvy?

Are You Success Savvy?
I have recently come across some interesting findings on success. I used to think extremely successful people had some sort of “success gene”, that they were born with some innate know-how on how to achieve great things. However, with a lot of reading and studying I have come across some principles of success and have come to realize that these people, these extremely successful people are not born with this knowledge, they acquire it! This means that success and the science of creating success is something that we can all learn, study and master. The study of success is a science, it has predictable outcomes. What you put in to it comes out in the tail end.

Here are some interesting definitions of success:
Success is not just being important, it is being significant.” –author unknown

Success in life is becoming what you truly want to be”. – Wallace D. Wattles

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” -Earl Nightingale

Becoming Successful
So how does one learn to become successful and achieve the results their desire? They learn and study the science of success; they learn and study the habits of successful people. In most cases this practice involves raising your awareness, habituating the practice of goal setting and planning and learning to focus on the present. Did you know that it has been said that most individuals only spend 1% of their life focusing in the present?

It Is All About Focus
Most people do not focus on their current tasks and activities. They are thinking about their past; the fight they had last night with their significant other, the children’s soccer game after work, the weekend plans, etc. They do not allow and demand of themselves to actually fully be and act in the present. Did you know that it has been said that only 2% of the population actually thinks creatively? In addition, 3% of individuals think that they think, and 95% of the population would rather die than think? Since thought has been linked to results and understanding that mental activity does not constitute as thinking, this means only a small percentage of the population really understand and uses the power of creative thinking to fast forward to their goals and realize their ideals. These are the people that are extremely successful, they choose their results. So how does one become more aware and learn how to work at their full potential and realize their goals? They progress through the seven levels of awareness.

Levels Of Awareness
These levels are as follows:

Our first level of awareness is our animal awareness, this level is innate, we are aware of ourselves and others, we are aware of the needs to sustain life.

The second level of awareness is the mass level. This is where an individual’s awareness remains quite limited. Their decisions are based upon what everyone else is doing, they do not think for themselves. They conform, they follow the masses. The majority of people, more than half are at this level and stay at this level their entire life time. These individual do not use creative thought. Most of them are not happy with their current results.

The third level of awareness is aspiration. This is where an individual becomes aware of deep feelings and desires that may be different than that of what everyone else is doing and they start to explore these feelings, desires and thoughts. They are wanting more, they want further growth and development professionally and personally, they aspire to be more. This is when they want to break away from the masses and become an individual.

The fourth level of awareness is the individual level or stage. This is where a person uses creative thought to create their own identity statement; this is the who, what and the why, their ultimate purpose in life, their own personal “because”. This is the level where they figure out their passion, their goals, their dreams and their plans, and this purpose is unique to that individual. These are the individual reasons and purposes that drive us. A fair percentage of individuals make it to these 3rd and 4th levels, unfortunately for many, limiting beliefs, poor self esteem, lack of confidence, feelings of doubt or other negative emotions keep many people here and they are unable to break free to the next levels of awareness. These individuals who remain in these levels never really quite get the results they desire or reach their goals efficiently or timely.

The next level of awareness is discipline. This is where an individual becomes aware of how to use thought, goals, planning, and desire to manifest the outcomes and results they want. Those with discipline to stay on course, steadfast towards their goals, no matter what is happening around them or what other people (the masses) are saying to or about them, those that learn, study, practice and habituate the science of success and wealth reach this level. Many drop out here and fail to progress beyond this point due to lack of discipline, or give up too soon before their results manifest, often times just before they reach their goals. Those that move on to the next level of awareness practice these habits of success are rewarded. Stop a moment and take an opportunity to think about why we want to aspire for more, it is to better serve others and to live a fuller life. Those individuals who have a strong desire to do things better move forward through the various levels of awareness.

The 6th level of awareness is experience. Through the study and habituation of the skills and knowledge of how to become successful and wealthy, and through steadfast discipline, one will begin to see how the process works. When they see the results they desire manifest, they will become stronger in how they practice and do more of the same. When they do not see the results they desire, they will change what they are doing, practice with discipline until they see the results they desire.

The 7th level of awareness is becoming a mastermind. Only a very small percentage of the population reaches this point. These individuals have learned the science of success, they understand how the science and process works, they have fine tuned their practices and habits based on their experience and are extremely effective at attracting success, resources, people and even wealth. They are very effective and efficient in reaching their goals, receiving their desires and manifesting the results that they want. They choose their results. Think of the capacity of helping others, serving others better and achieving your desires, when you can choose your results.

Think of the positive impact you can have on your life and other peoples’ lives when you are a mastermind. Every one of us reading this article has the mental facilities and capacity to become a mastermind. Changing the personal effects and your patterns of success at work is more important than you might think. The cost of negativity in the workplace is around $3 billion annually, according to an estimate by the U.S. Department of Labor. Not only are negative work environments costly for your company — they’re also taxing on your health and quality of life. We all want to be successful at what we do. So are you success savvy?
