When Nothing Goes Right, It's A Sign To Begin Using Your Creative Power

March 20, 2018 0

When you can answer to, where is my life going, by understanding and accepting your creative true power, even when it seems that, nothing goes right, you're opening the door for success in life. By having these ideas of a prosperous life we are able to live positive lives.
If we stay in self-doubt and other wrong-minded ego-based thoughts based on fear, doubt, and judgement and the like, those negative things, our dreams will never ever happen.
Our goals and objectives will be unlikely accomplished.
As individuals seeking a prosperous life, we ought to utilize our talents not only to recover ourselves and those around us, but also humankind as a whole.
Because alignment reinforces our ideas making us understand that we have a full and real potential within us to do more in our life.
You need to confess that words have different meanings and reflections for each individual.
For some abundance and prosperity suggests more cash and wealth while some may see it as success in business or in one's profession.
Naturally answering to, where is my life going, might be in the definition of having a loving household and a caring marital relationship.
It simply goes to reveal that it does not constantly mean material things.
Due to the fact that your creative power of magnificent heart and mind, is most likely one of the things that make you remarkable amongst the other species in the planet.
Yes, I mean we all simply need to tap into this creative power and utilize it so we might be able to meet and even discover a wonderful life of purpose and passion.
What are peace, love and money?
- Such things are energies that we see as truth.
- However such a belief is not pointed in just one instruction.
When your creative power is universal you can use that power to transform exactly what is taking place around you.
Something we have to remember when contemplating, where is my life going, is that there are principles that govern abundance.
Seasons come and go and in spite of everything, we are just unlimited beings. This is why we must strive for the highest excellent and hang on to things that we're passionate about.
When we feel that things are going in a wrong direction, and we're asking, where is my life going, this is the time that we need to reflect if the important things that are considered to be important, hold the same concern as they did before.
This must be surrendered and then changed to a favorable "right-minded" thought process, as the Course in Miracles terms, so we may produce something better if they do not.
In essence, we let go of the old to make space for the brand-new.
I've seen where some people use the idea of Prosperity and Abundance checks to attract more money.
Writing an Abundance Check
- An abundance check is simply a tool that can help you improve any area of your life.
- It can be a powerful idea to write a check of abundance and then let the Universe take care of the rest!
You could write down an amount that you feel comfortable with if you want to give it a shot. It is all about practice and feeling comfortable as you write abundance checks.
Needless to say, if you want more money (assuming you have little or no resistance), it can be useful to write down the exact amount on your abundance check.
If that's all you do.
In a previous session I discussed how to become successful in life fast by aligning to the Law of Manifestation
It was agreed you know you should be writing and creating more if you want to build an audience. You know you should be selling more if you want to make more money.
It is all about practice and feeling comfortable as you write abundance checks.
I know of a woman who practiced a similar approach by writing a letter to the universe, telling the universe what she was out to accomplish and needed help with the necessary resources.
She addressed it to the universe, put a postage stamp on it (with no return address) and put it in the mail box.
Needless to say, if you want more money (assuming you have little or no resistance), it can be useful to write down exactly what you need and then allow for the power of your subconscious to get to work on it.
- The power of the universe is within you!
- The problem is not knowledge.
You either have all the knowledge you need, or can have immediate access to that knowledge when you're mulling over thoughts like; where is my life going?
The Course in Miracles states, "Knowledge can be restored only when you meet its conditions. This is not a bargain made by God, Who makes no bargains."
The magnetic repulsion you feel keeps you from doing what you know you should be doing, already. And in order to win this war against yourself, you must first know your enemy.
Course in Miracles further states, "Knowledge is God's (the Universe) Will. If you are opposing His Will, how can you have knowledge?"
How do you begin this journey?
When you are properly aligned within you, to the core of who you are, you will always 'KNOW' what to do next.
By producing a list of exactly what is essential in your life, examining each one and after that finding out which of these have to go.
It is best to take notice of how you feel about that list and after that only keep what is worth to help you toward your passion.
This is likely the most fundamental part of any level of success in life.
Begin undergoing a 21 day cleansing process on how you think and on how you've been taking action on your objectives and goals if you're really serious.
Beyond that point, you can proceed with your life due to the fact that a prosperous life can be achieved by using your creative power as your guide.
So, what to do next?
When it seems nothing goes right, or you are questioning, where is my life going, look at the thoughts that may need some more cleansing, due to the fact that this is not something you neglect.
Remember, when we feel that nothing goes right, or things are not going our way, this is the time that we should reflect inwardly about, "What to leave in and what to leave out," as suggested in classic hit song, 'Against the Wind.'
Always be reviewing your list of what is important in your life and closely examining each item, and then take action on what you need to do next.
( Please note, I also suggest searching the net for helpful material on how to manifest money now with miracle minded secrets of perhaps, say, a millionaire mindset. Why not?)
To happiness and success in life!

Follow Your Dreams - Don't Delay

February 21, 2018 0

Most of us have had dreams for our future, dreams are what gives life-blood to our desires; but how many or us let them dwindle away without fulfilling them?
You may be saying- I'm too busy right now, or I'm to young, too old or too tired, or every other excuse you can think of. You may be feeling too tired or despondent because your life has become dull. It's time to change. Usually we only change direction when something causes us to re-evaluate our lives.
Why are most of us such self-doubters, disbelieving our abilities or doubting our courage.
Hold on to those dreams, don't let them escape, they can fill your days with delight, strengthen your resolve and develop you as a person. They can force you to learn new things and stretch you to limits you didn't know existed.
They will give you frustrating moments, as you strive to accomplish your goals, but also untold satisfaction if you just step out of your comfort zone and experience true living. Don't accept second best just because its easy, strive for what you believe in. Be passionate about your aims. Just do it!
You might be in a boring job, or wishing you could change your career, wishing you could travel the world, or learn to play music or paint. Whatever your dream find a way to pursue it, incorporate it into your life, see what is possible and make plans to include it.
Anthony Robbins suggests the reason people are depressed is because their dream lifestyle, or life plan and reality are poles apart. Try and bring yours closer for a happier future, Maybe you have to re-consider your lifestyle, is it really what you want how can you improve it.
People who live their dreams and fill their days with work they enjoy, don't consider it work, think of actors, sports people, artists, and many others. Believe in yourself and pursue your dreams. Freedom to follow your own path is a desire that many would like to tread. Freedom to make decisions and follow them through.
What would you like to do that you are not doing, search your soul for your true delight. Would you travel, change your career, look for a new job, take up a new sport or hobby. Spice up your life.
Maybe you need extra cash to take the plunge or maybe it is a desire to set up a business or invent something. If you make a plan it may be possible to incorporate it into your life without hurting your loved ones. Talk it through and see what is possible, you may find much of your dream is can be achieved.

Worry As a Pandemic Problem

February 19, 2018 0

We humans are world class worriers. We worry about everything and everyone. We never seem to be at peace. Many times worry keeps us up at night.

So, we spend a lot of time worrying. Say we spend 2 hours a day worrying. That would mean that we spend 14 hours a week worrying. When we multiply that by fifty-two weeks that would mean that we spend 728 hours a year worrying. Over a lifetime of say 70 years, we worry well over 50,000 hours. Now that's a LOT of worry!

Worry can even make us ill because of the anxiety that it causes. Worry can cause car accidents because we are distracted when driving. Worry can cause families to break up and relationships to be strained. And worry can cause a lot of undue stress for us.

So, why do we worry?


We worry for all kinds of reasons. There is so much uncertainty in our world today. There is financial unrest and political upheaval. There are natural disasters and disease. There is job insecurity and mental illness. Yes, we do have a lot on our plates. But do we have to worry about everything or can we simply relax a bit?

Many of our worries stem from fear and anxiety. We have allowed ourselves to become fearful by what we watch, read and listen to. The evening news is great at making us worry warts.

We also live in constant fear of not having enough, yet we also fear what we consume, and we consume a lot every day. There seems to be a new report every week that tells us about the dangers of eating food our grandparents ate with gratitude.

In fact, it is in the interest of the food industry to exacerbate our anxieties about what to eat. Notice there is always a new product we should not be consuming because it is bad for our health.

Did you notice how many times the advertisers oscillate between whether coffee is good or bad for us? It really becomes a bit ridiculous. Yet, each time the advertisers say that we shouldn't drink coffee, we start worrying, especially if we are coffee drinkers.

How can we take ourselves out of this anxiety and worry state of mind?

Well here are a few tips to consider:
  • Realize that worry is a habit. So, the more worry, the more we will worry. However, the opposite is also true-the less you worry the less you will worry.
  • Unplug from social media a good 2 to 4 hours a day. This will help you to stop the anxiety from coming into your mind.
  • Don't watch the evening news before bed. That way you will lessen your anxiety before bed.
  • If you are overwhelmed by an anxiety, write it down. Sometimes, writing down your anxiety in a journal can help you unload it.
  • Exercising can also ease anxiety and tension. The more you exercise, the better you will feel.

So, take steps to reduce your worry. You will definitely be happier and healthier as a result. Only we have the power to stop worry in its tracks. And who knows, you may even be a positive role model for someone else.

The Ultimate Time Management Principle


 "Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least." - Johann Wolfgang Goethe
We all have the same 24 hours in everyday, and the difference that makes the difference for each of us is how we choose to fill them. The most productive people I have ever met have not necessarily been harder working than everyone else; they just have a skill for appropriately focusing their efforts according to the time they have at their disposal.
The problem with most time management systems is that they are more concerned with generating maximum activity than they are about achieving actual objectives.
A classic example of this is the humble daily To Do list, where we jot down all the tasks that we believe need to be done that day and then re-arrange them so that they are presented in a logical sequence; the order in which we plan to tackle them. A popular approach is to get the quick and easy tasks done first so that we'll be less distracted when it comes to doing the meaty challenging jobs at the bottom of the list.
Sometimes this works fine, but more often than not we get so caught up in the little tasks (and all the other distractions that inevitably turn up, and were not on the list in the first pace) that we find ourselves under real pressure by the time we get to the bigger ones.
So, we might think that the obvious solution is to prioritise the big jobs first so that we can be confident that they will get done, and then rattle through the little ones with the time that is left.
Again, sometime this can work fine, but all too often little jobs left undone have a habit of turning into bigger problems further down the line. The fact is, no matter which way you slice it, prioritising volumes of activity against available time does not guarantee successful outcomes.
One of the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" - the work of Dr Stephen Covey - is the habit of 'Putting First Things First'. This means in order to know how you need to be spending your time you must first know the reason you are engaging in any activity in the first place.
An employee of any organisation is not paid simply to produce reports, move widgets or go to meetings. Every employee must be absolutely clear how their being there is helping that company achieve its overall mission and objectives.
The same can be said of people in general. It is usually true to say that the reason we go to work, build homes, raise families, support charities, join groups, is not just to fill the time until we leave this mortal coil. It is because we are driven by desires to make meaningful differences in the World (even if we're not always consciously aware of what that means!). We don't just go to work for going to work's sake. We go to work because it contributes to the wider, more important story of our life.
If what you spend most of your time doing is not actually aligned to some bigger purpose or moving your towards your goal, then the obvious question has to be asked - why are you doing so much of it?
Dr. Covey introduces a fantastic prioritisation tool that I have found indispensable in just about every area of my own life. Rather than launching into a flurry of activity in the hope it can all get done within a limited timeframe, the first thing to consider is the urgency of a task versus its importance.
As a simplistic measure of how I gauge this is:
Urgent = Bad things happen if I don't do it
Important = Good things happen if I do
Imagine a large square that has been equally divided into four smaller quadrants, each of them represents one of the combinations of urgency versus importance.

1, Urgent and Important

Otherwise known as crisis! It has to be addressed right now or there will be serious consequences. Being a frequent visitor to Quadrant 1 takes up A LOT of energy.
* Unpaid bills
* Angry customers (or spouses!!)
* Health problems
* Pressing deadlines
* Fire fighting

2, Not Urgent, but Important -

These are tasks that contribute to your mission, roles and goals. They don't necessarily have to be done now, but if they spend too long untouched in Quadrant 2 they can end up in Quadrant 1!!
* Learning new skills / knowledge
* Looking after your wellbeing
* Objective and goals setting
* Improving processes
* Nurturing Relationships

3, Urgent, but not Important -

Lovingly referred to as 'other people's problems'!! Of course, we want to be able to help other people because the outcome of these activities is important to them, but when we spend too much time in Quadrant 3, the things are important to us, personally, get left out in the rain.
* Ringing Phone
* Interruptions
* Non-productive meetings
* Request from others

4, Not Urgent and Not Important -

AKA 'wasting time'. There is a time and a place to waste time. At the end of a hectic day it can be just what the doctor ordered to put your feet up, turn your head off and watch some mindless TV. But if this becomes more of a habit than a meaningful use of downtime, then your life direction begins to suffer.
* Trivia
* Gossip
* Excessive TV
* Time wasters
* Re-arranging your desk for the 20th time this morning!
Dr. Covey poses the question, what one activity are you convinced that, if you were to start doing superbly and consistently well on a regular basis, would bring you significant positive rewards in your life? (Perhaps it's more dedicated quality time with loved ones, or going to the gym, or sitting down and planning for the future). Then decide which quadrant that activity sits in.
The answer is always Quadrant 2 - "Not Urgent, but Important". It has to be important if it would give you such positive rewards, and it is obviously not urgent, otherwise you would already be doing more of it!
People who spend as much time as they can in Quadrant 2 find that there is hardly ever a need to visit Quadrant 1, because they work on important issues before they become problems. But the reason so few people actually spend enough time engaging in Quadrant 2 activities is because, unlike the other quadrants, there is no built-in mechanism to say when they actually need to be done.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Homework
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take some time and decide on at least three Quadrant 2 activities that would immediately enrich your life in ways that are meaningful to you. Then schedule appointments in your diary for each of those activities to take place over the coming week. Stick to those appointments as if it is crucial for you to show up and do them. If something or someone tries to elbow their way into that time slot, politely refuse and say you're already booked up. And most importantly, enjoy yourself;o)

5 Powerful Steps to Change Mindset



Productivity is the KEY to succeeding in business as well as in life. Even if you put many hours into your work, if you do so unproductively, then you can expect to achieve poor results, if any results at all. Why is this? Well, let me assure you that you already know the answer.
Productive work requires that you take action while you are in a positive state of mind that perfectly coalesces with the action you are taking. This means that you are laser focused in your mind on the action that you are taking while you are in the process of doing so. Your thoughts are unwavering in their intention to create the best possible creation that you can. You are not distracted, you are not bored, and you are not worrying if you should be taking this action to begin with. Lastly, you are having fun doing what you're doing. It puts a positive twist on your day.
When the actions that you take are accompanied by a negative mindset, your productivity will absolutely go down. This is simply because you will begin thinking about other things. Your attention to your action deteriorates. When this happens, the action that you are taking becomes less powerful, less focused, and less productive. In addition, you have unknowingly begun a negative trend that will directly affect future action in a negative manner. It is simply the way it works. 
There is a certain series of thoughts that we all have going on in our head. These thoughts are different for each of us, but they are very familiar and specific to us. They are familiar because we tend to think them all the time. It is like a movie reel playing the same scenes again and again. Over and over, day after day, we think these same thoughts. When we think unproductive thoughts often, it will cause us to often act in an unproductive manner. The opposite is also true. That is why it is so important to pay attention to your thoughts and take charge of them to fit into your mold of what you really want to be thinking...positive and productive thoughts.
So, when it comes to productivity there is no single thing more important than for you to begin paying attention to what you are thinking while you're taking action. Here are 5 simple and powerful steps for you to take to begin changing your mindset and increasing your productivity.
1. Make A List: Make a list of the unproductive thoughts that you find yourself thinking on a daily basis. Be honest with yourself. Nobody will judge you because nobody other than yourself will see this list. Be thorough and specific.
2. Expand Your List: Take your list of thoughts and expand on each one by asking the following questions: Why do I think this thought? What does this thought do to my overall general attitude? What is a better thought that I can think to replace this one?
3. Burn the Bridges: Put the negative and unproductive thoughts deeply into the past. Realize that you may have had them at one time, but that does not in any way mean that you are destined to have them again. You have the choice of what to think. Make the choice to think positively and productively!
4. Make New Habits: Building new habits is as easy as deciding to do so. A habit is simply a thought translated into action over and over. So to make new habits, take your new and more productive thoughts into mind and act them out. It's that simple.
5. Promise Yourself: Make a promise to yourself that each time you catch yourself thinking one of those negative and unproductive thoughts you will realize it, remember that you've found a way past it, and take the mental action required to again put it in the past, burn the bridge, and rejuvenate the strength of your new, more productive, habit.
