Decisive Action: The Door To Success

If you are seeking further life expression, abundance, better health, more free time or wealth and prosperity, you must act. This life success strategy of taking decisive action is used by those people who have mastered their results.When you put off taking action, you put off a better future, you put off the manifestion of new results in your life. When you procrastinate on moving forward in an empowered way, you only set yourself backwards, as the universe is always seeking further life and expression, the universe is always advancing. When you do not advance, you are not working in harmony with the Universal laws.

Decisive action, that is what is going to make the difference for you in moving from your current circumstances, environment and results, to the life and new results that you dream of.Those that do break through and take decisive actions when they are presented with the right opportunity are the ones that manifest quickly, effortlessly and joyously. They have developed a higher level of awareness, an instinct, they are intune to how the universe works, they follow their inner guidance system, they are intuned to their emotions and are confident in the direction they are going. They endeavor to live.

They carefully evaluate all opportunities and realize that success happens with opportunity meets readiness.When they have found an opportunity that matches their intentions, they act decisively, quickly and efficiently, with a sense of empowerment. They say "yes" to the universe and move confidently. There is no indecision, no hesitation. They jump at the chance to begin working on and advancing their freedom.If you are ready to change your results and endeavor to live, you must act decisively when the right opportunity shows up in your life, know that it is there because you attracted it!Memorize this incredible quote below by Thoreau, place a copy on your mirror, fridge or computer so that you look at it often.

"If a person advances confidently in the direction of their dream, and endeavors to live the life they have imagined, they will meet with success unexpected in common hours."-Thoreau

Create & Receive That Which You Want!

According to the natural laws of attraction, in order for a desire, wish or state of being to manifest, sometimes action will be required. This is the universe or Higher Power actually trying to put you in a place to receive that which you are asking for. This is step three of the creative process, this is the receiving step. You may get an inspired thought, an idea out of the blue, a gut instinct, telling you to do something. When this happens, take inspired action, follow your instinct. This may be an urge to call an old friend, send an email, search for something on the internet that may lead you to better medical treatment or a physician or friend who can provide you care or support. These inspired actions often lead to new opportunities or they attract people or events into your life that will in the end be part of your wish coming true. If these inspired thoughts feel true, then it is wise to follow them and act upon them. You may be surprised how people or things quickly fall into your life in the process of realizing your ultimate wish.

“All things are what you make them.”
-Plautus

Using the Creative Process to Attract What You Desire
The creative process involves stating what you are really wanting, allowing the universe or Higher Power to answer and then putting yourself in alignment, or that happy feeling place, in order to receive that which the universe is trying to bring you. An intense desire is the spark that starts the engine of co-creating your experience with the universe. It turns your thoughts into things, people and experiences. It raises your energy or vibrating frequency such that the universe or Higher Power has no choice other than to respond and bring you things or persons that match your frequency. Just like a magnet.

Maintaining a focused attention on what you wish for, down to the detail, helps to provide a clear and consistent message to the universe or Higher Power, helping the wish or thought to be manifested. Focusing your attention means that you imagine your desires, the details, the senses, the feeling place of having it now and you following your inspired thoughts with inspired actions. Never take you eye off the goal. Focus on the end result. Do not change the goal until you have received it. You can make new goals once you get the hang of this. In life’s journey, our travels are filled with goals, experiences and feelings as we go towards our final destination.

Lastly, make the decision that this is what you really want, such as good health, full functionality, pain free movement, the return of strength and mobility, emotional and spiritual strength, settle for nothing less. Making this decision and holding fast to it creates the expectation that is it on its way to you. Act with faith and purpose and believe that your wishes truly are coming to you.

Universal Law: Law of Gratitude

The Law of Gratitude
The Universal Law of Gratitude states that the more grateful you are for what you have the more you will receive. Gratitude keeps you close to the Source, it is through gratitude that we stay connected. It is the Law of Gratitude that allows those who practice it to receive more and the same Law that takes away from those who do not practice it. If you want to stay connected to the flow of abundance, you must practice gratitude.

“To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.” -Albert Schweitzer

"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation."-Brian Tracy

To live in alignment with this Universal Law, you should be grateful for everything in your life. Everything and everyone is there for a reason, be grateful for the opportunity to find that reason.

Everything in This Universe is Connected!

"Regardless of your particular spiritual or religious background, for most of us it is undeniable common sense that somehow, in some way, everything is connected with everything else - that there is a powerful source in the Universe from which everything flows. Your key to manifesting your desires in your life is learning how to effectively connect to and harness this incredible power and put it to work for you.

Everything in the Universe is composed of Energy of one form or another, including your thoughts. According to the discoveries in Quantum Physics, all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. As it applies to the Law of Attraction, you attract what you put your energy and focus on, consciously or unconsciously - whether wanted or unwanted. As you'll learn, it's a bit more involved than that - but that's the basic idea.

"Within each life lies the cause of whatever enters it."-- F.W. Sears,

How to Attract Success, 1914It's been scientifically proven that thoughts are energy. They can actually be measured.

Because everything in the Universe is composed of energy, and is therefore connected, each thought that you have has a direct effect on your physical reality. You may find this concept hard to accept at first, especially if it is new to you. Most of us go through our lives feeling as if we are at the mercy of external events – we believe that things ‘happen to us.’ We find ourselves in situations not of our own choosing, people treat us unfairly, or life itself treats us unfairly. But what I have come to believe, to know really, is that things don’t just happen to us - WE ATTRACT THEM.

Virtually every event and every aspect of our lives, whether we consider it good or bad, is exactly what we have (either consciously or unconsciously) directed the Universe to bring into our lives. What ‘happens’ to us is the direct result of and the manifestation of what we focus on.The problem is, for most of us, we are continually using The Law of Attraction to bring into our lives more of the things we don't want, instead of the things we do want. This is because most people do not understand how to effectively and correctly harness this powerful force."

Law of Vibration: Second Universal Law

The Law of Vibration & Resonance:
This Universal Law states that everything in the Universe vibrates, it moves and travels in patterns, nothing rests. Everything that exists in our universe, whether seen or unseen, broken down into and analyzed in it's purest and most basic form, consists of pure energy or light which resonates and exists as a vibratory frequency or pattern.

The same principles of vibration in the physical world apply to our thoughts, feelings, desires, and feelings. In fact the conscious awareness of vibration is manifest in what we call feelings. When your thoughts are vibrating in a high vibration, you feel good, when your thoughts are vibrating at a low vibration, you feel bad. You know when you are feeling the flow of the Divine Power going through you when you feel excited, passionate, loving, caring, inspired, which literally means “in-spirit” and creative. On the other hand, lower vibration feels result in anger, frustration, envy, grief, sadness, depression.

Every thought, every idea, every light wave, every sound wave, every thing has its own vibrational frequency, unique unto itself. Realize that it is our thoughts that control our paradigms and what we attract to us, therefore it is our thought vibrations that bring about our results.

The Law of Resonance is the Universal Law which determines the various vibratory patterns or frequencies. When vibrations are in harmony, they resonate and become more powerful Love is said to be resonance, meaning when two people meet and connect and are on the same thought/feeling vibration, they can feel that energy; that is resonance; that is power. It is this Law of Resonance that actually activates the Law of Attraction. It is this Law that ensures that a particular projected energy (thought, feeling, belief or action) can only harmonize with energies that vibrate or resonate at a similar harmonious vibratory frequency; this in turn is what determine and create your physical results.

Living in harmony with the Law of Vibration and Resonance requires that you become consciously aware of your thoughts and feelings and when you are not feeling good, recognize that your thoughts are vibrating at a relatively low vibration and that you need to think of something that will make you feel good.

What is Your Level of Awareness????

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


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? 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. 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. This is when we aspire to learn more, to become better people, to serve our family, friend and community better.

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.

Finally--How the Law of Attraction Really Works: Here is the Real Secret

"Regardless of your particular spiritual or religious background, for most of us it is undeniable common sense that somehow, in some way, everything is connected with everything else - that there is a powerful source in the Universe from which everything flows. Your key to manifesting your desires in your life is learning how to effectively connect to and harness this incredible power and put it to work for you.

Everything in the Universe is composed of Energy of one form or another, including your thoughts. According to the discoveries in Quantum Physics, all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. As it applies to the Law of Attraction, you attract what you put your energy and focus on, consciously or unconsciously - whether wanted or unwanted. As you'll learn, it's a bit more involved than that - but that's the basic idea.

"Within each life lies the cause of whatever enters it."-- F.W. Sears, How to Attract Success, 1914

You see, it's been scientifically proven that thoughts are energy. They can actually be measured. I'm sure you've seen pictures of people with all of those electrodes hooked up to their heads.
Because everything in the Universe iis composed of energy, and is therefore connected, each thought that you have has a direct effect on your physical reality. You may find this concept hard to accept at first, especially if it is new to you. Most of us go through our lives feeling as if we are at the mercy of external events – we believe that things ‘happen to us.’ We find ourselves in situations not of our own choosing, people treat us unfairly, or life itself treats us unfairly. But what I have come to believe, to know really, is that things don’t just happen to us - WE ATTRACT THEM.

Virtually every event and every aspect of our lives, whether we consider it good or bad, is exactly what we have (either consciously or unconsciously) directed the Universe to bring into our lives. What ‘happens’ to us is the direct result of and the manifestation of what we focus on.
The problem is, for most of us, we are continually using The Law of Attraction to bring into our lives more of the things we don't want, instead of the things we do want. This is because most people do not understand how to effectively and correctly harness this powerful force.

For example, say you really want to get out of debt. You may spend your time dwelling on how large your bills are, how much money you owe - you may even think to yourself, "I am going to get out of debt," or say a prayer asking God to help you find a way to pay off your bills.

The problem with this is that you are still focused on your 'lack' of what you really want. You are focused on your debt - on your pile of bills. What the Law of Attraction does in this case is simply deliver to you or perpetuate more of what you are focusing on - debt and bills. The key is to learn specific techniqes to change your focus to what you really DO want, not what you don't want. It can be a difficult task, changing your thinking. But I have devised a step-by-step system that teaches you EXACTLY how to do this with ease!

The Law of Attraction is perhaps one of the most difficult life principles to accept, because by doing so you are accepting that you are truly in control of your life – that where you are right now, your life experience, is the direct result of your own thoughts and actions. You are accepting full responsibility for your life.

It’s not your parents’ fault, it’s not “luck” and it’s not “fate.” We each make a choice at every moment of every day what we will attract or allow into our lives. Where you are right now is not necessarily good or bad - it just is. The Universe doesn’t have an opinion on what you choose to draw into your life. It simply delivers to you what you consciously or unconsciously focus on with strong emotion and intense belief - ALWAYS, EVERY TIME.

"Spirit is substance which forms itself according to your demands, and must have a pattern from which to work. A pan of dough is as willing to be formed into bread as biscuit. It makes little difference to Spirit what we demand."- Frances Larimer Warner,Our Invisible Supply: Part One, 1907

The exciting thing is that once you learn how to do this - how to use The Law of Attraction effectively in your life - your life will change DRAMATICALLY and INSTANTLY"

Life Is A Journey: You Must Set Goals!

Goal Setting
A journey requires goals. Think about it, what do you really want? If you do not know, how can you receive it? Once you identify what you really want, write it down and if you have it already; fantastic! If you do not have what you really want, then establish it as a goal. Choose what you really want to be your experience.
“To choose is also to begin.”
-Starhawk



Goal Setting Exercise:
Take a few minutes to reflect on what exactly you wish to do, each day, each week, month and year. Now, take those thoughts and list 3-5 goals. Here are some examples of some goals:

1) I wish to spend more time with my family.
2) I wish to exercise.
3) I wish to work and have a successful career.
4) I wish to find love.
5) I wish to have more money.

Go back and revise your goals and be as detailed, objective and finite as possible. List your goal and then describe it as you imagine it would feel like if you were doing it or having it at this present moment.

1) I wish to spend 3 hours a day, one on one time with my family, playing, laughing and having fun together at the park.

2) I wish to exercise for 30-60 minutes 3-5 times a week, including walking, bicycle riding, weight lifting and swimming.

3) I wish to work in an environment that allows me to strive, not just survive, I wish to be successful and promoted to manager within the year.

4) I wish to meet my soul mate and be involved in a loving, caring, sharing and passionate relationship with this person and partner.

5) I wish to make “$ XX” dollars a year.

Now, go back and review your list again, read it out loud, how does the list make you feel? Do you feel good and happy when you read it and imagine yourself doing it or having those things right now? Good, that means you have identified good goals for you at this time. If you feel anxious or uneasy about your list, then go back and re-write the goals over and over until you do feel good. You should perform this exercise again, once you meet these goals and establish more goals. Once you get the hang of this creative process you will see your life unfold in front of you.

Life is a Journey! Enjoy the Journey, Not the Destination

Life is a journey, a journey filled with off road stumbles and on road bliss. This journey can feel like it is all uphill for those who are coping with a chronic illness, addictive disease or injury-related condition. But life is a journey.

“He who chooses the beginning of a road, also chooses its destination.”
-Anonymous

For every journey, a roadmap is helpful in order to get to the destination timely and see all the sights and do all the activities along the way, which one has planned. Many of us travel or have traveled on our journey of life, without such a road map. We all need direction at some time, although many of us don’t typically ask for directions. But how will you know where you want to go if you do not have a goal or destination in mind? Or if one has a destination, but no road map, one may circle around endlessly, reaching the destination long overdue or even worse never at all. Everyone should have a road map for their journey of life. On this road map, it is important to establish what you really want, who you really want to be, your purpose and how you will travel.

“A man without a plan for the day is lost before he starts.”
-Lewis K. Bendele

The Invisible Supply is Truly Infinite

"Spirit is substance which forms itself according to your demands, and must have a pattern from which to work. A pan of dough is as willing to be formed into bread as biscuit. It makes little difference to Spirit what we demand."
-Frances Larimer Warner,Our Invisible Supply: Part One, 1907

I love this concept, this is what the universal laws and law of attraction are all about. There is a universal substance of which all things are made, this substance is a thinking substance, which is always seeking further life expression and fulfillment. Think of that piece of grass that has found its way and is now sprouting out of between the concrete sidewalk, that is spirit, seeking advancement and further life.

Think of evolution, an animal species evolves when they find an opportunity for further life and advancement.This thinking substance is energy, it is God force. It is everywhere, 100% of the time at all times, we are all connected to it. We are connected to everything. Our thoughts cause this thinking substance, this universal life force, this infinite Spirit to attract things, people circumstances to us.

We are the co-creators of our life. We are responsible for our failures and our successes, no one else. What we focus on, what we think about, what we imagine is what we attract back to us. There is no such thing as lucky people. Those people who have attracted great relationships, love, success, wealth, a love of life, they have mastered the law of attraction, either consciously or subconsciously.

When you decide to learn, master and internalize this incredible information, life will start to change around you. Like Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." (ref: 10 Secrets to Success and Inner Peace )

As the quote says above, Spirit does not care and know big, vs small requests and thoughts, Spirit will respond to whatever it is that we focus on and how deeply we desire it. Spirit will attract to us everything that we need in order to accomplish our goals, as long as we hold our image in our minds, have a knowing that it is coming, eliminate all doubts and fears, and live in a continuous state of gratitude. This means living in full faith, that is faith with gratitude.

Essentially, being thankful for all of the blessings that are coming to us, even before they have arrived! I am so very grateful for my optimal health, my mind, my friends and family, my success and my ability to give back to the universe/God and inspire, empower and educate so many in beating chronic illness, living in optimal health and aspiring for a fuller life, one that is abundant in all good things.

10 Secrets to Becoming a Powerful Co-Creator

Did you know that you are far more powerful than you realize? You are co-creating your life, your success, your relationships, your failures.

You are co-creating everything in your life. Once you fully understand and accept this, you can use this knowledge to work for you and not against you. The Universe is a mirror, it produces an image of you, your thoughts and your actions. Becoming aware of this power is the secret to manifesting your dreams, ideal relationships, spiritual growth, optimal health and prosperity.

You have infinite potential, infinite opportunities. You can do anything you set your mind to, if you are willing to focus, practice discipline and work on your skill of being a powerful co-creator.

"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The game of life is the game of boomerangs. our thoughts, deeds and word return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy."

1) Believe that you have the ability to change your life.

2) Understand that the universe is held in place by a Higher, Divine Intelligence, this intelligence is every where, at all times in equal amounts. Every single cell in your body is connected to this universal intelligence.

3) Thoughts affect your body and preceed your results. This is why attitude is so important, if you have a positive thought energy, you will produce positive actions and therefore positive results in your life.

4) You have the ability to choose your own thoughts. If a message on tv, the radio or a friend is not in harmony with your goals and dreams, you have the ability to reject that thought. Choose and accept only thoughts that are in harmony with you and your purpose.

5) Stay on purpose. When you are on purpose, and your purpose is in harmony with universal laws, you become so powerful, as the universe will bring everything you require to acheive those goals. This is masterful co-creating!

9) Practice techniques of effective actions, write your goals out, state positive affirmations, add emotion to your goals, use a vision board, meditate, make a list, use visualization techniques.

10) Live in the light, light always overcomes darkness. When you live in the light, the positive side, the higher vibration, the way of the inspired, joyful and blissful, you become powerful beyond measure.

Get Rid of Your Limits: Achieve Your Goals

"The only limits you have are the limits that you believe."

Dr Wayne Dyer

I have been doing a lot of reading and studying on the topics of success, law of attraction, achieving goals and living more fully. I have come to understand that there are 2 important things about achieving your goals, there is an easy way and a hard way.

The hard way is to work really hard, obsess about your goals, stress about your goals, micromanage your goals and force your goals to happen.

The easy way comes when you know what your goals are, you are intent and focused on your goals and then you surrender your goals to the Universe or your higher power. Then everything you need to make your goals comes true just happens to show up for you when you need it, effortlessly, this is what is meant by living in the flow of abundance. You allow things to happen, unfold and create instead of forcing them into existence. Remember being single and wanting that special person to show up for you... you tried everything possible to make it happen, you forced it and what happened, he or she never arrived. It was not until you said, I am giving this to God, I am happy as I am, I love my life as it is, and let go, stopped trying to force it, that is when that special person arrived, right on schedule.

Here are some tips to surrendering your goals to the universe:

1) Spend time visualizing your goals coming true. Be specific and definitive in your demands. The more specific you are in your details and vision, the easier it will be for the right things and people to come to you. Choose exactly what it is you want and then see your self as already having it or it already being true. This is tricky for most people, so find ways to get into the now.

2) Practice positive affirmations about you and your goals. Starting with "I am so happy and grateful now that..." is always helpful to put you in the mindset of gratitude, joy and reception. powerful and simple. For more ideas on affirmations, visualizations, effective goal writing, see Acquired Hope book.

3) Be grateful for all that you already have. Be grateful for all that is coming to you, your goal, even though it has not yet happened. Live in the knowing that is it happening to you now.

4) Declare your intention and feed it with emotions. Positive thoughts cultivate positive emotions and raise your vibrational energy to that of co-creation. Spend as much of your time as possible riding positive thought vibrations and energies. The power players and real co-creators are terrific at this. Make sure your goal is in alignment with your purpose, this will make it easy to stay on track and attach emotions to your goal.

5) Cultivate your intuition. I have heard many times, Prayer is when we talk to God, our intuitive factor is when God talks to us. Spend time developing and cultivating your intuition. When you feel that instinct or nudge to do something, follow it, act on it.

6) Action is required in order to obtain any goal. You can visualize all day long, but if you do not include action in your process, nothing can come to you. Action is the last part of the law of attraction, look closer at the word: attraction, even "action" is included in the "attraction". Opportunities will come to you from a larger view, your job is to act on them. As Orpah once said, success occurs when opportunity and preparation meet. Act now.


"Within you is the kingdom of serenity that can create all of the prosperity you could ever want." Dr. Dyer

Live as a co-creator and this process becomes your way of being!

Personal Assessment and Development Tools

Personal development does not have to mean becoming rich and famous and living in Hollywood. Personaly development can occur in much less obvious or dramatic changes and can be equally as significant and rewarding. Personal development may mean you start to speak to your community, you write that book you have always wanted to write or you become a mentor to someone else.

Whatever you decide to do next in your spiritual, emotional and intellictual unfoldment, focus on how you can give your life away, how you can serve and give others. I read once that a day was not complete until you gave away something that was not returnable. Focus on that, give without want, give constantly and everything you need or need to discover for yourself will come to you.

Many people are not certain what their life purpose is, or what to do next. I want to share some tools and resources to help you move quickly down your path. Remember, when you stay on purpose, you never get too far off your path!

1) Take a Self Assessment Test.
There are several available to you. A self assessment test will ensure you develop a plan or life purpose that is catered towards you and your personality. These tools will help you identify your strengths, your weaknesses, your preferences and your ways of thinking. They can be fun, enlightening and informative. Some assessments are free and can give you a glimpse into your current path, situation, goals, desires and purpose.

Here are the popular ones with their website link:
Keirsey Temperament Sorter
Myers Briggs Type Indicator
Strengths Finder

The self assessment tests do not require any fancy tools, just some time and patience and willingness to be open minded when you read the results.


2) Discover Your Personal Goals:
This is your why and what. Why you get out of bed in the morning and what you feel most passionate about. This is unfolding your life purpose. There are great tools available to help you do this. Here is one I recommend:

Discover Life Purpose

Create your life mission, start with a mission statement, this will guide you on your path to personal fulfillment and purpose. Whenever you are acting in accordance with your life purpose or life mission statement you are in a creative and attractive vibrational state. This is how you attract all that you need to accomplish your tasks. Everything you need will show up for you, if you stay on purpose, that is your own unique life purpose.

Here are a few suggestions about your mission statement:
Be passionate, seek feedback, write it, be yourself, follow your bliss.


3) Next Create a Development Plan:
Now create a development plan. You set the goals and the timelines. Then act and focus on your goals and plan. A development plan should include short and long term goals. Life is a marathon, your life purpose should continue and expand as you unfold. Sometimes the goals may not all be clear, but they will come to you as you stay on purpose.

Short term goals are often more effective and attainable. Long term goals are your long term visions. Your plan should also include action steps, outcomes and a plan for analysis. You will want to see if you are meeting your goals or revise your goals and timelines accordingly.

Own your plan. Write it out, post it where you can see it daily and create affirmations to keep you on track with your plan.

4) Find a Mentor:
I have posted several articles on this blog archive on the benefits of having a mentor. You will reach your goals faster and more efficiently with a mentor.Mentoring is a close, personal relationship that differs from supervision. Finding a mentor means seeking development and input from someone you respect and feels has experience or expertise in what you are pursuing. Mentors can be friends, bosses, family, authors, ministers etc. We meet mentors every day! Just open your eyes to them!

Life Success Strategy: Take Decisive Action

If you are seeking further life expression, abundance, better health, more free time or wealth and prosperity, you must act. This life success strategy of taking decisive action is used by those people who have mastered their results.

When you put off taking action, you put off a better future, you put off the manifestion of new results in your life. When you procrastinate on moving forward in an empowered way, you only set yourself backwards, as the universe is always seeking further life and expression, the universe is always advancing. When you do not advance, you are not working in harmony with the Universal laws.

Decisive action, that is what is going to make the difference for you in moving from your current circumstances, environment and results, to the life and new results that you dream of.

Those that do break through and take decisive actions when they are presented with the right opportunity are the ones that manifest quickly, effortlessly and joyously. They have developed a higher level of awareness, an instinct, they are intune to how the universe works, they follow their inner guidance system, they are intuned to their emotions and are confident in the direction they are going. They endeavor to live. They carefully evaluate all opportunities and realize that success happens with opportunity meets readiness.

When they have found an opportunity that matches their intentions, they act decisively, quickly and efficiently, with a sense of empowerment. They say "yes" to the universe and move confidently. There is no indecision, no hesitation. They jump at the chance to begin working on and advancing their freedom.

If you are ready to change your results and endeavor to live, you must act decisively when the right opportunity shows up in your life, know that it is there because you attracted it!

Memorize this incredible quote below by Thoreau, place a copy on your mirror, fridge or computer so that you look at it often.

"If a person advances confidently in the direction of their dream, and endeavors to live the life they have imagined, they will meet with success unexpected in common hours."

-Thoreau

Strategy For Creating Your Dream Life

Dream of Escape from the rat race!!!

If you want to live with fuller life expression and lead a truly fulfilling life, you must have a powerful all consuming dream that drives you forward.

"If you don't have bold, daring and imaginative dreams then you're just not being realistic".
-Randy Gage

The reason why so many people are stuck in a slump or in ordinary lives, is that they simply have given up on their dreams in life, or even worse, they do not believe that they deserve a greater life or that they can actually have a better life. If you want to live fully, you must get back in touch with your dreams.

At one point, you had dreams, what are your dreams? What are your goals? What is your life purpose? If you need help finding your dreams, create a list of all the things you love to do, and all the things you do not like to do. This will help guide you to your life purpose.

Get excited about your dreams and your life purpose. When you are on purpose, you are unstoppable. You will attract everything that you need in order to make your dreams come true. When you believe this, you will develop an internal drive to take action, to follow your instinct and to remain focused. Expand your dreams even further and you will become unstoppable when obstacles get in your way. Develop an internal "knowing" that everything you need will appear, that no obstacle is too great to overcome, learn to pay attention to and live in harmony with the Universal Laws.

Success in life starts with a dream! Rememer the BE, DO, HAVE Rule (this is explained in depth in my Acquired Hope book) The secret is, you must BE what you dream of, then DO as you would if you already had your dream, this is the same as act as if it is true, or acting from the end, and then you will HAVE what you dream of. It is backwards from the way we were conditioned to think as we grew up. In our lives we were conditioned to believe it when we see it, ie we must HAVE it, before we can DO it and then BE it. The universe actually works in reverse order. When you get into harmony with how the Universe really works, you become a powerful attractor, able to manifest anything you dream of or desire.

Are you Co-Creating Your Success Yet????
