Come On, No Doubt About It

Often when we get in touch with our most heartfelt and hopeful dreams what may also surface are some of our doubts. There is an important relationship between the Dreamer and the Doubter that live inside of us. It is useful and necessary to develop skills for dealing with our doubt; otherwise your dreams could very well get squelched.

The Dreamer inside of us encourages us with thoughts and comments like, “Yes you can. Go for it. You have what it takes.” By contrast, the internal Doubter voice may challenge and confront with comments such as, “What are you thinking? You’re too old (or too young), you don’t know what you are doing, and you don’t have the money or experience.”

If we turn the voice of the Doubter down it becomes the voice of the Realist, the part of us that wants to know what we intend to do. Most often, the Realist wants to know where you will find the time and money, it wants to know your plan, but be careful. Early on, you may not have all the details figured out so if you go to strategic planning too soon, your need to be realistic may have you compromise on your idea before you fully explore what else is possible.

Consider this. If all parts of us carry wisdom, perhaps even the Doubter can provide insight. If you interviewed this part of yourself, literally asked about its concerns and issues around your dreams, you might get some useful information. For example, my own Doubter often offers thought-provoking questions and prudence.

Your Doubter could inform you of potential obstacles related to your dreams. Obstacles come primarily in two forms. They are either limiting beliefs, something that requires internal reflection or that you hold to be true. Alternatively, obstacles can also be something more external that require a plan, such as borrowing money or taking a class.

For example, if your dream is to write a book but you don’t know how, you might seek assistance or learn how to do it yourself. But if what you are feeling is fear of failure that is usually more of a limiting belief, something going on inside of you that only you can change or affect. Of course, once you identify what you’re afraid of a strategy like working with a coach or a daily practice of writing might get you over it. Some obstacles can be both belief and strategy.
Wherever there is an obstacle, you can manage it. But if you don’t know there are obstacles present you may get blind-sided or sabotage your dream. It is incredibly beneficial to hear from your Doubter. Be interested in what it has to say. Pull out a journal or pad of paper and explore what your real, imagined or potential obstacles may be. Knowledge is a powerful thing.
Most people either ignore or get consumed by their doubt.

I assure you, once you become aware that there is a Doubter inside of you that is not the enemy, you are much less likely to be stopped by it. Confusion and procrastination are often signs that the Doubter is present but not being acknowledged. How do you feel when you are trying to express and not being heard? I suggest you watch for signs and stop and listen.

Once you are able to learn from your doubt, other people’s doubts will have less impact on you. How might your life change if other people‘s negative comments only deepened your conviction to your dream? Once you deal with your own doubt you will no longer put the beliefs of others over your own. This is a sign of transformation as you become more inner-referenced. This can lead to deeper self-trust, which in turn will enable you to take greater risks and dream bigger dreams!

The Fish Story

The Japanese love fresh fish. However, the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever.

The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.

However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price.

So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive.

Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.

So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

Too Much Money

As soon as you reach your goals, such as finding a wonderful mate, starting a successful company, paying off your debts or whatever, you might lose your passion. You don’t need to work so hard so you relax.

You experience the same problem as lottery winners who waste their money, wealthy heirs who never grow up and bored homemakers who get addicted to prescription drugs.
Like the Japanese fish problem, the best solution is simple. It was observed by L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1950's.

"Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment." — L. Ron Hubbard

The Benefits of a Challenge

The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a good problem.
If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are happy.

You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun.
You are alive!

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state.

The fish are challenged.

Recommendations

Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game.
If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help.

If you have met your goals, set some bigger goals. Once you meet your personal or family needs, move onto goals for your group, the society, even mankind.

Don’t create success and lie in it. You have resources, skills and abilities to make a difference.
Put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

Fergie- Really Special One

MU won the 2008 Champions League

Well, i woke up this morning to catch the final of Champions League between Chelsea and MU and guess what, its MU again this time and Chelsea came up second best again although tonnes of opportunity wasted and twice hit the bar and woodwork. Certainly luck is with Chelsea on the first half but not thereafter. Well done to Fergie for his outstanding and remarkable career and i don't see him stop right here.

For Avram who wish to be crown Special One tonight, not went in according order and Red Rom at the back would have to make major decision. Another change in manager? Quite possibly as yet another failure in CL event. Let see how the picture next season and after Euro 2008 where there could be new star in the making, just like Frank Ribery for France in World Cup 2006.

Its tiring and Chelsea loss, it feel sucks but i don't think they deserve it in terms of entertainment football.

Got to work now, and after meeting will have to drive to Kuala Lumpur for an appointment at Puchong Perdana. Take care.

Don't let wind dictate our lives

In the process of living, the winds of circumstances blow on us all in an unending flow that touches each of our lives.We have all experienced the blowing winds of disappointment, despair and heartbreak. Why, then, would each of us, in our own individual ship of life, all beginning at the same point, with the same intended destination in mind, arrive at such different places at the end of the journey? Have we not all been blown by the winds of circumstances and buffeted by the turbulent storms of discontent?What guides us to different destinations in life is determined by the way we have chosen to set our sail.

The way that each of us thinks makes the major difference in where each of us arrive. The major difference is the set of the sail.The same circumstances happen to us all. We have disappointments and challenges. We all have reversals and those moments when, in spite of our best plans and efforts, things just seem to fall apart. Challenging circumstances are not events reserved for the poor, the uneducated or the destitute. The rich and the poor have marital problems. The rich and the poor have the same challenges that can lead to financial ruin and personal despair. In the final analysis, it is not what happens that determines the quality of our lives, it is what we choose to do when we have struggled to set the sail and then discover, after all of our efforts, that the wind has changed directions.

When the winds change, we must change. We must struggle to our feet once more and reset the sail in the manner that will steer us toward the destination of our own deliberate choosing. The set of the sail, how we think and how we respond, has a far greater capacity to destroy our lives than any challenges we face. How quickly and responsibly we react to adversity is far more important than the adversity itself. Once we discipline ourselves to understand this, we will finally and willingly conclude that the great challenge of life is to control the process of our thinking. Learning to reset the sail with the changing winds rather than permitting ourselves to be blown in a direction we did not purposely choose requires the development of a whole new discipline. It involves going to work on establishing a powerful, personal philosophy that will help to influence in a positive way all that we do and that we think and decide.

If we can succeed in this worthy endeavor, the result will be a change in the course of our income, lifestyle and relationships, and in how we feel about the things of value as well as the times of challenge. If we can alter the way we perceive, judge and decide upon the main issues of life, then we can dramatically change our lives.

Burn the Boat!

I believe that the great NFL Hall of Fame coach, Vince Lombardi, had it right when he said, “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”Do you agree with coach Lombardi or are you the type of person who has difficulty staying focused and keeping commitments? Do you allow the negative influences of fear,anxiety, self-doubt and worry to dominate your thinking and sabotage your results?

Sadly, most people fail to achieve their goals, not because they’re lazy or lack self-motivation, but because they were never “fully committed” to succeed! I can’t think of a single great achievement that has ever been attained without first a plan of action and then an unshakable commitment to its accomplishment.

Walt Disney was arguably one of the most creative dreamers and determined men of the twentieth century. Walt understood the power of commitment and would frequently tell those around him, “When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.”

The ancient Greek warriors were both feared and respected by their enemies. In battle, the Greeks established a well-deserved reputation for their unsurpassed bravery and unshakable commitment to victory.

The key to their overwhelming success on the battlefield had far more to do with how the Greek commanders motivated the warriors than it did with issues of tactics or training. The Greeks were master motivators who understood how to use a “dramatic demonstration” to infuse a spirit of commitment into the heart of every warrior.

Once the warriors had been offloaded from their boats onto their enemy’s shore, the Greek commanders would shout out their first order, “burn the boats!” The sight of burning boats removed any notion of retreat from their hearts and any thoughts of surrender from their heads.
Imagine the tremendous psychological impact on the soldiers as they watched their boats being set to the torch. As the boats turned to ash and slipped quietly out of sight into the water, each man understood there was no turning back and the only way home was through victory.
In your sales career your battles are not fought with weapons on foreign shores, but within the confines of your own mind. A truly committed salesperson does not have the luxury or the time for the self-indulgence of negative thinking.

The true underlying motivation for all success is a deep and unwavering commitment to the task at hand. The sales profession is a demanding and challenging career, but it is also personally rewarding and financially lucrative for those who are fully committed to becoming successful.
If you are being pushed around mentally by thoughts of fear, anxiety, self-doubt and worry, it’s time to “burn your boat” and become fully committed to your sales career!

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Dreams Are Magic Sparks

“Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” - As A Man Thinketh

Look slowly around you. All that you see at this moment was one day but someone’s dream - a “seedling of the reality” it was to become. In our lifetime we have benefited greatly from the dreams of so many.

Mandela, Mother Teresa, Einstein, Gandhi, Spielberg, Disney, Gates and the list could go on and on and on — all began with a dream. Who could forget one of the most powerful speeches of all time by Dr. Martin Luther King, “I Have a Dream”. While we haven’t become the color-blind society we should be, go back and read the speech and see how far we’ve come since Dr. King first spoke those “seedlings” into reality.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Celine Dion performed a song called The Power of the Dream.
“Deep within each heart,There lies a magic spark,That lights the fire of our imagination…
Your mind will take you farThe rest is just pure heart,You’ll find your fate is all your own creation.”

Sounds a lot like James Allen, doesn’t it? So maybe you don’t see yourself as a Mandela or Mother Teresa. But if you haven’t already discovered it, deep inside you there is a dream.

Step aside for a moment from the day-to-day concerns of life. Re-establish contact with your highest goals and most treasured dreams. Remind yourself of the beautiful possibilities that life holds for you. Renew your determination to bring them to fruition.

“Spend some quality time with your dreams. They are real to the extent that you value them. To the extent that you commit to them and work for them, they will come true.”

The final verse of Celine’s song ends with:
“There’s so much strength in all of us,

Every woman, child and man,

It’s the moment that you think you can’t,

You’ll discover that you can.”
And that’s worth thinking about.

Say Both and Make it Happen

Let’s take a little quiz. Read the following five questions and answer them as honestly as possible. Ready? Begin…
1. Do you want a successful career or a close relationship with your family?
2. Do you want to earn a fortune or do the work you love?
3. Do you want to enjoy a delicious love life or grow your business?
4. Do you want to give to your favorite charity or invest in the new car?
5. Do you want to travel the world or make money?
There’s only one answer to all of these questions. The answer is…
BOTH!

One of the most powerful habits that can bring more abundance in your life is the habit of thinking, “Both”.

Rich people live in a world of abundance.

Poor people live in a world of limitation.

Poor people think there’s not enough to go around in the world. They come from a fear-based mindset. Their answers are “either/or”, but never “both”.

In a poor person’s mind-set they go for security above love, safety before self-expression and protection over possibility.

What about you? Are you a possibility theorist or a fear-based thinker?

Rich people live in a world of abundance.

Poor people live in a world of limitation.

Rich people understand that with a little creativity, a willingness to be unconventional, and an open mind, they can have both. When you build your business (and your life) on the “Both” mentality, you will see opportunities that you were once blind to.

Bbegin today to alter your mind-set. Get in the habit of saying “Both!” Anytime you’re asked to decide on two options, say both and then use your creative genius to make it happen.

Only you can make the decision to break through the limitations put on life. YOU have the power to change your beliefs about abundance and prove to yourself you really believe in enjoying “both!”

Do we have confident?

Is there anything you can do in one day to improve your confidence? Yes, there is. In fact, there are a lot of things you can do in one day. Transformation can happen almost instantly, if you are willing to play the game.

Over the next few minutes, visualize a couple of things you have ahead of you today or tomorrow. Would you like to have more confidence at those things? Spend a few minutes with each one but visualize your doing it as if you are fully confident. Run it like a movie in your head. Picture yourself relaxed and strong, and enjoying what you are doing. You are fully capable, and others are looking to you for reassurance and guidance.

Visualizing can help you with job interviews, meeting new people, and doing better work. It can help you with sports or music performance and any other task you would like to do better. It can help you get over your fears and anxiety.

As you go through your day today, watch your posture and body language. When you look at other people on the street, you can partly tell who is confident and important by how they carry themselves. Today, be one of those confident people. Hold your shoulders back and sit or stand tall and relaxed. Make eye contact with people and smile more easily. Reach out to shake people's hands or touch them.

Speak today like a winner, to yourself and to others. For today, banish thoughts of "I can't," and replace them with, "I can!" If someone asks you to do something you really don't know how to do, then say, "I can learn how to do that."

Failures can take us in directions we would not have gone before. A lost job often leads to a better one. No job often leads to self employment, and has been the beginning of many highly successful businesses. It is common to resist change, because it's the unknown, but change, even unfortunate change, brings with it new opportunities. Sometimes it is only failure that brings us those opportunities. So stop thinking about failures and instill confidence in yourself. Self confidence can help you gain new heights in life and achieve greater things that you did not even dream about earlier. Stop thinking of the failures from this moment.

When you find yourself doubting what you can do, there is one more trick you can use, and that is to "act as if." Pretend you are an actor playing a role, and the role you are playing is of a confident person. You might even imagine what one of your favorite people would do or say, if they were in your place right now. How would a former president apply for a job? How would an actor ask someone out on a date? Would a successful business person hesitate at their office? Have fun with it. Have your thoughts reflect confidence for one day, and you will see barriers crumble. Once you know you can do things, that knowledge cannot be taken away.

Blockbuster Finale

Champ or Chump as Chelsea and MU race on

Second half goals from Michael Ballack and Florent Malouda gave Chelsea a 2-0 away win over Newcastle on Monday and ensured that the Premier League title race will go to the wire.

Michael Ballack was again Chelsea's hero as the Londoners took the Premier League title race down the final game of the season. The German, whose double against Manchester United last week took them level with their rivals at the top, broke a stubborn Newcastle with a crucial 60th-minute opener at St James' Park. But it was not until Florent Malouda added a second eight minutes from time that the points were safe as the spirited Magpies did their best to preserve a seven-game unbeaten run.

Whatever the outcome, it will be a blockbuster finale end to the dramatic season.

Dreams are made possible

I just so tired, to be exact mentally exchausted. Listening to songs right now and blogging. I got very little time to surf net apart from my company website to check on my customer data and production performance. Today's was little lucky coz my sister got visitor in my house and let me use my computer for few hours. I can sense that i can't get things completed everyday, yet i know it cant be finished or we're finished. How true is that?

It's never easy especially when i will become Unit Manager on 1/9/2008. How many times i mentioned this news to my parents and colleague and it becomes a piece of junk news. The question is how commit i am when i mentioned this statement 2 years back and how ready i'm at that time? Well, the answer is, i rather focused on personal sales until last year that i realized i reach the limit. "Its so near yet so far" on MDRT production requirement. Many colleague come and congratulate me on my best performance yet on 6 years career. I felt i loss something and to be honest not feel excited at all coz i did not realize my dreams and dad hope to see his son to be crown MDRT, although there is always next year, the significant of not completing the task brought me down to earth.

Thus, this year after so many years talking about to become UM, i'm on the path right now. My first recruit was a failure and i learn a good lesson on it. My colleague all came to me and console me and give lots of good advice, thanks to them and special thanks to Mr Gan and Mr Lee, both Agency Managers. I admit my mistake ever since the selection process and hence this is the outcome. Now came my new recruit and also one of my student (when i was lecturing part time in Olympia College). She is a lady and independent one, hope i will be able to coach her the right way and demonstrate good results by year end.

I have to keep believing myself and action, action, and action. Learn as much as possible and for surely you will see me promoted to UM by 1/9/2008. Does it sound over confident? To me, it is a positive statement and i learn this ever since i join the industry. Never said hope rather a MUST. Again dreams are made possible.

What's your dreams for the year? Share it will your loves one, family and everybody...scared people will look at us one kind if we don't achieve, trust me, nobody will coz i learn this from my training room few years back, i cant remember the author but it sounds this way:

the Principal of 20/40/60

At age of 20, we are so concern of people talking behind us;

At age of 40, we dun give a damn of people talking behind us; and

At age of 60, we realize that actually nobody talking behind us because they themselves busy about themselves.

How true is that statement, judge yourself! Thus, share it out and once you shared it, it will become a commitment to you and pressure to realize the dream. What is the worst consequences? People dun have time to talk about us, so continue to dream BIG, it is better to set BIG goals and don't achieve it rather than set SMALL goals and achieve it.

Set your dreams today if you yet to get one. Here is my 2008 DREAMS:

To undertake 1 unit Toyota Camry 2.4G Pearl White on 29/9/2008.

Next on the list is to complete my MALDIVES overseas TRIP sponsored by my company before i promoted to UM by 1/9/2008

Ok, i guess time up for me to pass on my laptop to my sister, together we work hard and work smart to achieve our MUST achieve dreams. Don't just dream IF one day i HAVE it, let's make it happen.

GOD BLESSED.

Work Now, Break Later

The self made rich know one thing for sure...there is a lot of hard work before you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labors. A lot of people get the impression that the rich are lazy which to some degree is true, but here is what most people don't realize...they deserve it.

The rich have worked hard for a long enough period of time to be able to kick back and golf whenever they would like to. Take those long vacations to where ever they would like to and stay as long as they would like. The way that they can do that is because they are free both financially and emotionally. They have discovered something that has been around since the beginning of time...

The rich may have started off like you working a 9-5 or killing themselves in their own business. What they all have in common is that they realized that trading time for dollars gets you no where quickly if that is all that you do. Most of you don't have a clue what I am talking about and that is because of your own ignorance and I would recommend that you become educated and I am not talking about taking out another expensive college degree.

Leverage is the key. In the past you really only had two options and they are still in effect today, leverage other peoples time or leverage money. Today people are discovering that they can leverage technology to some degree as well.

The rich are empire builders leveraging everything at their disposal including you and your 9-5 to make themselves richer and richer. They then take your hard earned dollars and then invest that into other investments like real estate and other investment options and once again they are leveraging you and their money. You pay them rent in the form of a mortgage payment or rent whichever and again they are leveraging your time.

Now a day's people have started learning how to leverage technology to work for them in the internet. You can literally set up a website and have it work for you 24/7 making sells for you and making you rich. So choose what you want to do.

1. Stay in the status quo
2. Build an empire through business
a. The requirements are that you must build that business to a point where you can leave that business at any time for as long as you wish and the business continues to grow and progress.
3. Leverage your money so that your money is working for you
4. Leverage technology so that it is working for you but again it has to comply with option #2

Once you have built your empire and you are one of the rich you too will deserve to kick back on any beach in the world for as long as you wish and have others call you the lazy rich guy.

Nargis in Myanmar

Breaking news:Cyclone death toll nears 4,000 in Myanmar

Almost 4,000 people were killed and nearly 3,000 others are unaccounted for in a single town after a devastating cyclone in Myanmar, a state radio station said Monday.

Tropical Cyclone Nargis hit the Southeast Asian country, also known as Burma, early Saturday with winds of up to 120 mph. The cyclone blew roofs off hospitals and schools and cut electricity in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon.

The government had previously put the death toll countrywide at 351 before increasing it Monday to 3,939.

The radio station broadcasting from the country's capital, Naypyitaw, said that 2,879 more people are unaccounted for in a single town, Bogalay, in the country's low-lying Irrawaddy River delta area where the storm wreaked the most havoc.

The situation in the countryside remained unclear because of poor communications and roads left impassable by the storm.

"It's clear that we're dealing with a very serious situation. The full extent of the impact and needs will require an extensive on-the-ground assessment," said Richard Horsey, a spokesman in Bangkok, Thailand for United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

"What is clear at this point is that there are several hundred thousands of people in dire need of shelter and clean drinking water," Horsey said.

Officials from Myanmar's military government met Monday with representatives of international aid agencies to discuss providing assistance.

Neighboring Thailand announced that it would fly some aid in Tuesday.

The private aid agency World Vision said Myanmar's government had invited it "to provide assistance in the form of zinc sheets, tents, tarpaulins and medicine

Achieving success will require commitment. This is a concept that far too many people are willing to bail on. The reason is that they loose patience and give up on their commitments and therefore give up on their dreams and goals.

Some will not commit because they want a guarantee that everything will work out. But the only guarantee is that if you do not commit you will not succeed.

It has been said that clarity comes after commitment. If you do not start with a commitment and stay with it, then you will never see your success. Once you have committed and follow through with your commitment then you can clearly see even further.When you say "I want to achieve success" that is not a commitment. You should say "I will achieve success" Now you have a commitment.You must eliminate options and excuses that get in the way of making real commitments. You will not get it done with "maybe someday" If you want to truly succeed, don’t allow giving up to be an option.Commitment is a sign of your integrity.

When you show your commitment to your business and your success you are demonstrating your level of integrity at the same time. Commitment is what you have left after the excitement of an opportunity has worn off. Some are tempted to give up on their commitment to success when the excitement of the new idea has passed.

Realizing this will keep a more enlighten person in the game. You need to stay in the game to win.Those that are hesitant to commit will be ineffective in receiving success. On the other hand, when you are committed powerful things occur that would not have occurred without the strength of your commitment.Patience and commitment are partners.

Your commitment means that you will give what you have to give until the success is achieved. That will require your patience. When you are committed, you will be and feel in control. You are not allowing the laziness of non committal to take you over. You are going for what you want.Commitment is a mountain that is created inside of you. You must surrender to it and be willing to trust.

Commitment is seen by some as too much work. The time and energy that it takes is too overwhelming for them. This makes a great excuse for them to not commit at all. But the truth is when we commit we experience fewer struggles as we now have an anchor in commitment. As we commit to our success, we will begin to see a new way of committing. We will find deeper thing to commit to. It will be too great to ever want to go back to a life with no commitment or direction.

Your commitments will serve as a reminder of your purpose in live. It is with your patience and your commitment that you will have all of the success you desire.

Vision in Life

How many times have you found yourself thinking back in time, wondering what life would have been like if you had done "this" differently, or if you had done "that" differently? If you had made different choices in your personal life, family life or in your career, what would you be like today? Would you have more money, would you dress differently, would you be traveling all year round with your beloved? Well, maybe life would be different but would you really change anything when it comes down to it? Probably not, as these are valuable experiences that have made you the wonderful person you are today. We cannot change the past, but what about the future?

Let's look at it from a different perspective. How many times have you had visions of the future? Before you approached your boss for that much deserved raise did you think in your mind what you would say, how you would say it, how your boss would answer, and how you would respond to any questions? If you didn't, you probably didn't get that raise. But if you did - congratulations! You had a vision of how the conversation would go, you knew how to handle it, and you probably walked out of your boss' office with a raise. I think about a professional baseball pitcher. Every time he reaches the mound, before he throws each pitch does he have a vision of the ball leaving his hand, floating through the air, crossing the plate within the strike zone, feeling the breeze of the batters swing as he misses the ball and it goes straight into the catcher's mitt? Of course he does!

Vision can be defined as a mental image, or intelligent foresight. As visionaries we can shape the future in our minds and make things happen that we never thought were possible. Put your visions to work for you. Have you established goals for yourself? Goals are not just for work and measuring your performance. Each of us should have short-term and long-term goals not only for our careers, but also for our personal life, family life, religious life, or whatever we feel is important. Goals can be as simple as getting the kids to school on time everyday, or cleaning out the hall closet, to something as complex as finishing a college degree or writing a book. Every successful business has a business plan-a road map to success. Why shouldn't you have a roadmap to success for your life?

How do we achieve our goals? Hard work, determination, perhaps a change in lifestyle-it all depends on you and your personal road map. Close your eyes and picture in your mind what you will have to do today to achieve just one goal on your list. Envision yourself moving through the day, following every step you need to get that task done. Now…open your eyes, and get to it!

Facing Challenges Of Life

A lot of people all over are always cribbing about their present situation as to how their life is full of challenges and they would have been more happier if their life was full of roses. But life is always that way. Just try finding one person who had never any challenges in his/her life. You will never find one! If that were to be as everyone wanted, then their would not have been any interest in life as each day would have been monotonous leading to dull and drab life. Only by facing challenges and overcoming them, a person is really said to have lead a fulfilling life!

Life will always have challenges:

Just get used that mindset. Life will always be full of challenges for every person whatever section of society he belongs to. If a poor person wants to get out of his poverty to a comfortable living standard he has to struggle it out. Same goes for a middle class person if he wants to get a more comfortable life. . . he too has to struggle it out. So challenges will always exist.

More challenges you encounter more successful you become:

Life always has various levels of games for every individual. For a person overcoming one challenge, he become mentally ready for other one in course of which life gives him greater rewards for solving those challenges. You go to another level by stretching your comfort zone a little further.

Every challenge gets an opportunity:
Every challenge a person acquires in life presents him with two kinds of opportunities. . . one is personal growth and other one financial growth. So it's a real challenge to spot these opportunities and to cash on them thus leading to personal and material development of one self.

Recognizing opportunity:
The best way to recognize an opportunity in adversity is to get guidance and learn from the same people who have been through your path. They are your best teachers. Since every one cannot be accessible at a given time, reading books, listening to audio tapes from personal development experts can go a long way in helping you.

Putting your learnings into action:
The important part of learning in life is to put whatever one has learned into action. Without action all the strategies of life have no meaning. So if you want to profit in your life, mentally as well as financially start from today to put into action whatever good things learned from life before your time runs out!!

Motivated but Aint Moving?

That assignment you have been waiting for has finally been handed over to you. Yet, for some reason, you find yourself literally struggling to accomplish the task. You just can’t seem to be able to get the work done. You keep spinning your wheels and making no progress. You are stuck. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and the deadline is fast approaching.

The more you try to focus on the task at hand, the more anxious and stressed out you get.It’s not that you don’t feel motivated, you do and it’s not that the work isn’t exciting or is something that you don’t want…it is! You are aware of how important the task is and that it needs to get done as soon as possible. However, every time you try to work on it, you become confused, your eyes glaze over and your mind goes blank. You start second guessing yourself and questioning your competence. You even begin to wish for external reassurance that you are doing the right thing! Suddenly, this exciting opportunity seems like a bad idea and you feel like kicking yourself in the foot for accepting the assignment.

There is a lot riding on your commitment to complete the task and your “inner critic” swings into action reminding you of all the negative consequences awaiting you should you fail to accomplish the task. You realize that this unproductive state of affairs needs to end. Therefore, in an attempt to motivate yourself more and prevent procrastination from escalating, you silently scream to yourself…“I can do this! I can do this! I can get this done!

”Hey, wait a minute! Why are you so stressed out over something you really wanted?

Crazy at Work, Stop and Relax!

Are you having fun? Do you get a thrill from your work? Do you enjoy waking up each morning?
Myths about work can hurt your progress. "Work is not supposed to be fun." "You must buckle down and get serious."

Perhaps the biggest myth of all: "People will think I’m important if I act seriously." Yet getting serious creates problems: stress, worry, anxiety, emotional pain, drudgery and failure. Resolving problems by getting more serious is like fixing a computer with a hammer. The harder you try, the worse the problem becomes.

"When life becomes serious, a man becomes less cause and greater effect. If life gets really serious, his value drops to practically zero. Driving a car can become such serious business that one can wreck the car. Running a business can become so serious as to make it fail. There is a direct connection between insanity and seriousness." "It is only when an individual progresses in life to a point where much seriousness is attached to things that he begins to have a hard time. The ancient Italian really knew what he was about when he considered that the only psychotherapy was laughter." — L. Ron Hubbard

Approaching your life with a non-serious attitude gives you a clearheaded view of difficulties and the energy to deal with them. Problems are easier to solve, people are more cooperative and you feel more relaxed. You probably live longer and more successfully, as well.

Try these ideas until you find one that lightens you up.

1. Deliberately turn a molehill into a mountain. Make a big deal out of a little problem. "I would feel much better if these papers were stacked exactly like this! Not like that! Like this! Not this! This!"
2. Ask yourself, "Is getting serious about this situation really going to improve it?"
3. Focusing on the positives. "What is right about this situation?" "What else is right?" "What else?"
4. Consider a complete, major change. For example, go back to school, move to the ocean, start a new career.
5. Ask yourself, "When I’m on my deathbed, will I be glad I was so serious about _______?"
6. A challenging game is much better than no game at all. So consider losing all aspects of the problem. Examples: You feel serious about family problems. You ask yourself, "Well, what if I had no family at all?" You feel serious about your investments. You ask yourself, "What if I had no money to invest?"
7. The size of your problem may match the size of your game. So get a bigger game. For example, if you get uptight about paper clips being in the wrong drawer, your game size is tiny. Double your amount of responsibility. Set some huge goals. Succeed by thinking much, much bigger.
8. Stop trying to solve the problem that is making you so serious. Certain types of problems solve themselves if you leave them alone. Your problem may be one of those.
9. Compare what you are doing to other careers. Imagine being a septic tank drainer or a tax collector.
10. Make everyone around you lighten up.
11. Look at bizarre solutions. What is the craziest way you could solve your problem? What solution, if it worked, would make you laugh out loud?
12. Act stupid for a minute. Let down your hair. Stop being so darn important for a while. Be a goof!

Walk the Talk Son

World Champion Olympic and professional athletes walk the talk. They don't just talk one way and act another. They talk the talk and walk the walk of excellence, achievement and peak performance. They have congruence. Their behavior matches who they are as championship people. This congruency allows them to operate closer to their potential more of the time.

What can we learn from these superstars? We can learn and adopt the qualities of top-performing athletes by examining how they are in the competitive arena. These peak performers have these qualities:

1. They Walk the Talk. Performers who just talk a good game are a dime a dozen. Those who trash-talk are not able to let their performance do the talking. They need to cover up a weak game. Champions can be quietly dynamic, secure in the belief that they are true champions. They talk about what they do because they can live it.

2. The Ability to Make Comebacks. Champions make comebacks after every error they make. There has never been an athlete who played an error-free game. They make comebacks after a poor performance, after a slump, after an injury, after any setback. They will not be denied in their march to success.

3. The Ability to Control the Clock. Champion performers know how to control momentum. They know how to help themselves by controlling time during performances so they feel in control. They set and dictate the tempo of a contest.

4. Self-Reflective Time. Champions make time to review all their performances and training systems. They consider this time sacred because it is here that they make adjustments and practice continuous improvement. They need quiet time to learn more about themselves as people and how this impacts their performances.

5. The Drive to Improve. Champions are often not satisfied fully with most performances. Something could have been better or gone more smoothly. They accept the limitations of the day during a performance and get on with the job, but realize that to improve, they must maintain a critical eye toward flaws and imperfections. They do this without damaging their self-esteem and confidence.

6. They are Resistance-Oriented. Winners resist losing. They resist giving in to pain, fatigue, boredom, trouble, bothersome opponents, and all else that stands in their way of success. When trouble appears, they resist it. They never give in.

7. They Have Competitive Spirit. Champions view competition as challenging, exciting, a test, fun, and allow the spirit of the battle to raise their game to the next level. They approach competition with gusto, a positive outlook and see it as an adventure.

8. They Embrace Win-Win Teamwork. Champions know how to be great team players and how to make everyone involved be winners in business and life. In sport, they often even view opposing players as partners in co-creating the competition that will take both to higher levels of performance.

9. They Take Responsibility. Champions are independent-minded. They admit when something is their fault and resolve it. They don't blame others. They take credit for their success and praise others for theirs. They create their success teams, yet realize that the ultimate responsibility for their lives resides within them.

10. They Play With Integrity. Champions compete with honesty, fair-mindedness, and concern for their fellow competitors, team-mates, coaches and spectators. They stand for the highest ideals of sportsmanship and integrity at all times. They pride themselves on being good people as well as good athletes.

Sport is one of the last bastions of performance accountability and effort-to-outcome arenas left in the world. It is a put-up-or-shut-up environment. Either you can do it, or you can't. Just yapping about it isn't enough. You have to prove you can do it. You have to walk the talk.

Sky High Confidence

I realize you already feel that you are a self-confident person. And, you should feel this way, because of all that you have accomplished. Self-confidence is the key to becoming successful in any profession. Self-confidence is an admired attitude in a person. Although, you have already taken the personal steps to become a self-confident person in your career, it is always a good idea to continue in building on that self-confidence. Being self-confident in your chosen profession is very important to your success. However, what if you choose to apply for that position just above your current status? Or, what if you choose to pursue a new found dream of starting your own business? Although, you are comfortable and confident in your abilities in your current job, you will need to build up your confidence level to a degree that will help you advance forward. Increasing your confidence level will give you the ability and confidence to try your best in new situations.

Let’s look at what self-confidence means. It is the belief in one’s ability to succeed through his strengths, abilities and powers. Over time in your career, you will have successes. These successes will build up your self- confidence. Self-confidence is all about balance. In order for self-confidence to be productive for you in your career, it is important to have the right amount of confidence that is based on reality and on your true abilities. With the correct amount of self-confidence, you will be able to take informed risks, stretch yourself to your abilities, and have the desire to try your best. Self confidence needs to be based on reality. Take into consideration your skills and experience. How can your skills benefit the new position you are applying for. Prepare yourself in advance, as this will boost your confidence during an interview. Let’s say you have chosen to start a new business. Remember all of the things you have already accomplished. Make lists of all the goals you have achieved in the past. You have probably made the decision to start your own business in an area you are knowledgeable in, or feel strongly about. If this is the case, reflect back on the reasons you felt you could begin a new journey in the first place. This will help in increasing your self-confidence to allow you to advance on into your new business.

As a confident professional, setting goals is something you are likely familiar with. Now it is time to stretch a little beyond what is comfortable. Setting new goals with tougher challenges will set new targets. Achieving these tougher challenges will make you stronger, and help in building up your self-confidence. This will, also, give you the motivation to reach beyond even these new goals. Be sure to set goals that will take advantage of your strengths, lessen your weaknesses, and recognize your opportunities. You already have that confidence you need to stay in your career, as you are now comfortable with your current position and experience. However, in order to move forward and experience the new and exciting adventures that are available, it is important to continue building your confidence.

Once you have chosen new goals, build the knowledge you need to achieve them. How can you confidently acquire these skills? Research the program or course, and choose one based on the details of the content. Be sure the knowledge you are learning is from a respectable source. Knowledge is power. This power will boost your confidence level to a point that will give you the courage to step out of your comfort zone, and begin creating new successes.
A confident person usually has a positive attitude towards life. Celebrate successes along the way. But, learn to handle failure. It is important to accept that mistakes can happen when trying something new. Try to think of mistakes as learning experiences. This will keep your positive attitude going, and will be more productive in building up your confidence level, which will encourage your success.

To get that confidence level up, strive to be ambitious. Take on realistic challenges based on your skills and experiences. Consider failure an opportunity for learning. Be competitive. Don’t be afraid to dream, but a dream is only a dream, unless you act on it. Visualize success, and be willing to try new ideas, even if it is not your own idea.
Take the necessary steps to improve your knowledge, set more challenging goals, and recognize opportunities for advancing in your career. Taking these steps will give you the motivation to take more powerful risks, which will lead to more successes, which will increase your confidence level, and bring you to the next level of your success. Remember to “turn on your confidence, turn up your success". I am confident you will succeed in building your self confidence level, and, in turn, celebrate success!

It takes only small change..

Are you one of those always dreamt about being success, rich and famous? Do you courage enough to begin with the first step to your dream journey? Well, the reality many people only dreams about it, and a few will dream and make it happen. That is why the rich is getting richer and vice versa. Start dreaming and also start make it happen before its too late, aint the world to beautiful, for me the answer is definitely yes and i will explore, enjoy, eat with my family before i leave this world. You don't like it, you still have to go through your ordinary life, but we only live once and we are so lucky our parents brought us here, so i will definitely swear to GOD never miss out the boat on life journey.

There was one speaker arrive in our office, one of the Anthony Robbin's products and share with us, its only take us few HARD years to make successful and then enjoy the rest of our lives, aint that easy? the answer is YES but it need alot of hardwork and determination. However, if you choose to FAIL, it will be more painful coz it takes forever in your lives, aint that torturing? Choose NOW and never regret.

People will always disappoint us, so we must do what pleases us and will bring us success and happiness. We can only influence what we do, not the actions, thoughts, or beliefs of others. You can achieve whatever you want in your life, but it must come from inside of you. Here are some ways to create the wealth, relationships, and lifestyle you want and deserve.

Picture the life you want to make for yourself. It will include other people, but for now just focus on your own hopes and dreams. If you wish to amass great wealth, think about how that would change your life and make you feel.

Think about what you would like your day to day life to be like. Many people think they have to go to a job every day, but you choose to do your work the way you are doing it. There are much easier ways to live, once you know how to do it.

Take a look at your relationships. You have the ability to change situations that just do not make you happy, whether they are personal or work related.

Live every day with joy, knowing that you can achieve any success you want. When you know the small things that will make big changes in your life, you will be amazed at how quickly your life turns around.

I encourage you to spend some time learning the secrets of wealth and happiness. You can have this in your life once you know what to do.

Effective Leader of Modern Era

Create a Big Vision

To become a motivational leader, you start with motivating yourself. You motivate yourself with a big vision, and as you move progressively toward its realization, you motivate and enthuse others to work with you to fulfill that vision.

Set High Standards

You exhibit absolute honesty and integrity with everyone in everything you do. You are the kind of person others admire and respect and want to be like. You set a standard that others aspire to. You live in truth with yourself and others so that they feel confident giving you their support and their commitment.

Face Your Fears

You demonstrate courage in everything you do by facing doubts and uncertainties and moving forward regardless. You put up a good front even when you feel anxious about the outcome.
You don’t burden others with your fears and misgivings. You keep them to yourself. You constantly push yourself out of your comfort zone and in the direction of your goals. And no matter how bleak the situation might appear, you keep on keeping on with a smile.

Be Realistic About Your Situation

You are intensely realistic. You refuse to engage in mental games or self-delusion. You encourage others to be realistic and objective about their situations as well. You encourage them to realize and appreciate that there is a price to pay for everything they want. They have weaknesses that they will have to overcome, and they have standards that they will have to meet, if they want to survive and thrive in a competitive market.

Accept Responsibility

You accept complete responsibility for results. You refuse to make excuses or blame others or hold grudges against people who you feel may have wronged you. You say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” You repeat over and over the words, “I am responsible. I am responsible. I am responsible.”

Take Vigorous Action

Finally, you take action. You know that all mental preparation and character building is merely a prelude to action. It’s not what you say but what you do that counts. The mark of the true leader is that he or she leads the action. He or she is willing to go first. He or she sets the example and acts as the role model. He or she does what he or she expects others to do.

Strive For Excellence

You become a motivational leader by motivating yourself. And you motivate yourself by striving toward excellence, by committing yourself to becoming everything you are capable of becoming.
You motivate yourself by throwing your whole heart into doing your job in an excellent fashion. You motivate yourself and others by continually looking for ways to help others to improve their lives and achieve their goals. You become a motivational leader by becoming the kind of person others want to get behind and support in every way.

Your main job is to take complete control of your personal evolution and become a leader in every area of your life. You could ask for nothing more, and you should settle for nothing less.

Something to Ponder

• People who know the most, know they know so little, while people who know nothing want to take all day to tell you.

• Self-improvement can be harmful if you are doing it to look better. If you live your life in helping others look better, you’ll be better without trying.

• If you give to get something, you’re not really giving you are trading. Giving is never to get, because you have it and are not aware of how much you have until you give.

• Big people are always giving someone credit and taking blame; little people are always seeking credit and giving blame.

• Don’t worry about having to make a right decision. Make it and then work to make it right.

• An attitude of gratitude flavors everything you do. Learning to be thankful is the golden thread woven through every truly successful life.

HOW READY ARE YOU?

Are you ready for major break in life?

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do." Joe Namath

How prepared are you for that big break you are anxiously waiting for? How prepared are you to begin the journey to achieve your dream? What opportunities have you missed because you were not prepared? Have your job interviews been unsuccessful because you were not adequately prepared?

If you want to be successful, you have to spend some time educating yourself, researching and understanding the relevant area that you are looking to pursue. For instance, if you want to start a business, you must commit to and invest your time and resources in finding out about what it would take to run a business in every sense of the word!

This is a very competitive society and if you have to get an edge over the others, you must have something more than just a rough idea of the area you want to pursue.

If you are suddenly called upon and asked to provide a service in an area of your expertise, you must in deed and not in theory be able to provide answers and solutions in a confident, professional and excellent fashion. If you have to perform a task, which you claim you are qualified to do, you have to be prepared to deliver the required results. When you are prepared for your big break, you will always confidently rise to the occasion!

As you wait for your opportunity, prepare, prepare, prepare! Begin to lay the groundwork, commit yourself to your success, constantly refresh your memory and research the latest developments in your field of interest. Saturate yourself with knowledge about your product or service so that when opportunity knocks on your door, you will recognize it.

The more you prepare, the luckier you appear. Most people miss opportunities because they are not prepared for it. Even if they recognize it, they cannot respond to it or answer the call.

Preparation gives you a greater level of confidence, eliminates hesitation and gives you an upper hand in competition. Therefore, "Be prepared"

Don't blame GOD never gives us chance for a major break life, but the major question how ready are you when the opportunity arrive at your front door? Once you miss it, time never stop and you gotta prepare yourself again for next one.

Believe in yourself Son, that my motivation keywork, always keep my parent in my heart and remind me. I have 4 MUST achieve dreams within the time frame this year and I believe I can do it, so do you.

p/s: will share it out in my blog when i realize all 4 major dreams for this year.

take care.

Successful People Know the Power of Passion

Successful people know that passion is energy. It is what drives people to succeed. Without passion towards what you are doing, you do not have a why. When you do not have a why, the how is hard to find.This energy is contagious.

If you spend time with passionate people, it is bound to rub off on you. So if you have not yet found your passion, find people who have. You will soon see a change in your success. As you spend time with passionate, successful people, success skills will start to manifest in your live too.

Successful people understand that in order to achieve, they must love what they do. So find something that you love to do and you will be following your passion. Passion is the fastest way to massive success.

There is much heart and soul that goes into being successful in business. You need to ask yourself if these elements exist within you regarding the business you are choosing. Are the tasks involved in this business the kind of thing that you will find joy in completing? Will you be working with the type of people who inspire you? Is it a product that you believe in? Passion is essential to your success.

When you do what you love to do, you can go beyond success; you can make a real difference in people’s lives. With your passion, you can inspire others to find their dreams too.When you find your passion it will be like a mission. It is something that you know that you were meant to do. When you are following passion, the ups and downs of a business will not get in your way as your passion is stronger than the challenges of your business success or failure. This is one of the reasons you should follow your passion. It will guide you through the rough waters.

Bringing passion to the work place will assist you in making better decisions, you get more things done in less time. You will want to contribute so much more, that will in turn bring you back more. People will see your passion and they will believe in you and your products and services. You will be trusted and supported by your customers and associates.Once you have found your passion, you will want to cultivate it. When you start to turn up the heat on your passion, you are bringing more joy and with this you will accomplish success in business and more of your goals.Your passion can be fueled by helping others to achieve the success that they desire as well.

It has been said by the famous speaker, Zig Ziegler, "If you help enough people get what they want, you will get EVERYTHING you want". Your passion towards your business will also assist you in creating a great reputation, which will become invaluable in building a more successful operation.

Identify your passion and when you do take the steps to bring it into your life. With passion you can be the best at what you do, and through that you can achieve financial freedom. Once you become abundant, you will be able to assist the world in ways that will fulfill your purpose in life and bring to you all of the joy that life has, rich in successful achievement for all you do.

A Dollar and Some Ambition

I read this article from Jim Rohn and tempted to post it here, check it out:

Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.

And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice. To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.

Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?

Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.

Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.

How Vital to stay positive in life?

The question here is how vital we have to stay positive in life, and how many actually practicing it rather than talking about it. It not easy as it looks coz there are so many circumstances will pop out along the road and it is a "test" from the GOD to determine how positive, determine we are to achieve our dreams.

Transition period is never easy and i was in this period now. Six years as agent and then promoted to career agent, time for me to suck up the challenge and be a big man rather than always said one day i will become unit manager and will try to look for direct agents when i can look for it, i rather focus on personal sales! That the mentality i have for past 2 years and i suffered due to negligence, reluctant to move a step ahead and compete with the big boys.

Although it is never easy BUT gosh is there anything easy in life? even hit lottery we need some down to earth lady luck, right? Since February, i began to work hand in hand with my leader and groom myself to be new generation leader. 2 days ago, one of my newly recruited agent after working for a month and closing a number of sales decided to quit offically although i number of times ask him to quit or make up his mind sooner. The reason is because he was goin to sign up with another insurance company and i get to know about it and immediately i ask him to make up his mind, take it or leave as no part time is allowed is our culture.

Friday is his last day, and i got to stay positive, its never so easy to succeed in life, i know i have to work, work and continue work with passion and professionalism and time will come to check i can achieve my goals. I felt little sad and hurt, simply because the amount of time, energy, care, and the rapport i managed to build as i work closely with him and it ended this way. However on the other hand, it tells me that i better do a better job in selection process next time to avoid similar problem next time around.

Human does have emotion after all, but remember don't let it control our lives instead we have to control the emotions. Yes, we have sad and happy days, but in the end, we gonna have more good days than sad days. Stay positive and you can work something out, i always believe in myself with the support that i have in my families and my leader itself.

I got to work double hard from now on before i offically promoted to unit manager on 1st september 2008. I changed my lifestyle since i recruited my first agent, no more enjoy 1st lifestyle, i work more than 15 hours a day everyday except weekend where i need to spend time with family. Its exchausting but that life, no choice to succeed except hardwork. I will continue sacrifice until i reach another milestone in my career which is to become TOP UNIT MANAGER next year and once again to invite my beloved parents to share the proudest moment on stage with me next year.

We got to believe and look forward, focus, and action, time will pass along whether we do a great job or a lousy job. I'm sick right now sitting in front of my laptop but don't worry, i'm ok, just 2 tired after all. I will take care myself and have a well balanced lifestyle in life. Money can't buy health.

Together we achieve our dreams and make things happen rather than hope things do happen in our life. Opportunity does not come everyday and when it does come, don;t miss it, maximize it.

take care.

In life, we have....

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind;

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet;

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them;

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true;

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best;

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own;

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future;

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile;

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others; To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble;

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds;

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

express yourself freely and within the law, life is beautiful, earn many and spend some, have balance in life, PASSION, POWER, COURAGE and most importantly ACTION for a better future...

BEST of luck...

Motivation is only state of mind

How many times have you attended a motivational seminar or read an inspiring book and for about two or three weeks you were pumped up on life? For a lot of people, a month after gaining their new insight and wisdom, the day-to-day routines demand their focus and thought power and their motivation tank slowly starts to lose gas. Waking up everyday and being full of motivation and drive requires the right mindset.

If we are able to feel pumped up on life for two weeks after coming out of a seminar, then there is no reason why we should not be able to feel that way the majority of the time. At motivational seminars and in the pages of great books, we are exposed to mantras and quotes that resonate within us and move our souls. We hear new ways of thinking that we agree with and concepts that open our eyes to unlimited possibilities. The reason our motivation tanks run low is because we are not continuously reminded of our new found concepts, mantras and belief systems.

Here is a superb way to have constant motivation in your life; put your newfound inspiration on the walls of your office and home. You can custom design eye appealing wall lettering that sticks to your walls and that fits with the décor of any room. By doing this, you will be surrounded by newly acquired mantras and beliefs that will slowly become part of you. The wisdom that you acquire from seminars and books will not get lost in the hustle of the work day but instead will be on your wall constantly reminding you of what you believe and what you can do.

One of the greatest byproducts of putting your acquired mantras and belief systems on the wall of your office or home is that your family, friends and co-workers will be consistently exposed to positive ideas as well. Imagine if you had kids in grade school that could be exposed to wisdom and knowledge of some of history’s greatest achievers on a consistent basis.

The Courage to Live Consciously

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spiritsin the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.- Helen Keller

In our day-to-day lives, the virtue of courage doesn't receive much attention. Courage is a quality reserved for soldiers, firefighters, and activists. Security is what matters most today. Perhaps you were taught to avoid being too bold or too brave. It's too dangerous. Don't take unnecessary risks. Don't draw attention to yourself in public. Follow family traditions. Don't talk to strangers. Keep an eye out for suspicious people. Stay safe.

But a side effect of overemphasizing the importance of personal security in your life is that it can cause you to live reactively. Instead of setting your own goals, making plans to achieve them, and going after them with gusto, you play it safe. Keep working at the stable job, even though it doesn't fulfill you. Remain in the unsatisfying relationship, even though you feel dead inside compared to the passion you once had. Who are you to think that you can buck the system? Accept your lot in life, and make the best of it. Go with the flow, and don't rock the boat. Your only hope is that the currents of life will pull you in a favorable direction.

No doubt there exist real dangers in life you must avoid. But there's a huge gulf between recklessness and courage. I'm not referring to the heroic courage required to risk your life to save someone from a burning building. By courage I mean the ability to face down those imaginary fears and reclaim the far more powerful life that you've denied yourself. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of going broke. Fear of being alone. Fear of humiliation. Fear of public speaking. Fear of being ostracized by family and friends. Fear of physical discomfort. Fear of regret. Fear of success.

How many of these fears are holding you back? How would you live if you had no fear at all? You'd still have your intelligence and common sense to safely navigate around any real dangers, but without feeling the emotion of fear, would you be more willing to take risks, especially when the worst case wouldn't actually hurt you at all? Would you speak up more often, talk to more strangers, ask for more sales, dive headlong into those ambitious projects you've been dreaming about? What if you even learned to enjoy the things you currently fear? What kind of difference would that make in your life?

Have you previously convinced yourself that you aren't really afraid of anything... that there are always good and logical reasons why you don't do certain things? It would be rude to introduce yourself to a stranger. You shouldn't attempt public speaking because you don't have anything to say. Asking for a raise would be improper because you're supposed to wait until the next formal review. They're just rationalizations though - think about how your life would change if you could confidently and courageously do these things with no fear at all.
