Life is too short so try to enjoy it, wisely. Many people take life so seriously that they end up missing out on the joys that come with it. Do not dwell so much on your past mistakes and misfortunes, this will only pull you back. Your past has no real significance when it comes to determining your destiny in life.

The power of positive thinking is much more than merely a saying. I know, I have seen it in action and have experienced it repeatedly. In fact I hope to again and Very soon. Positive thoughts are one of the most powerful things we as individuals can ‘grant’ ourselves. Anyone who is uncomfortable being around positive people is someone who is content to be discontented.

Having positive thoughts is as close to what we will ever get to having good dreams while awake.

In this day and age the internet is full of resources that display techniques and methods of self help and positive thinking. What many these resources don´t mention is the tactics of self talk, this has to be a unique method when it comes to self help, and especially positive thinking. The mind is a very powerful thing and we will only ever get out of it what wee put in, or what we let others put in – so it remains vital that we use self talk to input some real positive thinking and vibes in order to maximize our self help efforts.

In my last article regarding goal setting, I outlined some keys for accountability.  This is an important element of your success for many reasons, answering to someone else is an area that is comfortable for many.  Another reason that you may need to have someone push or monitor you is because of your fear of success. 

You may wonder who on earth could be afraid of being successful.  Many more that you can imagine.  In my workshops, we find that most, who thought they were not afraid, really were.  They soon find out that procrastination has become their best friend because of fear.

Achieving success in business is almost always the result of hard work, dedication and sacrifice. Any business community in general is bound to be very competitive and achieving success will always come at some cost. Although developing a sound business plan is a very good start in reality the key to success lies within the person.

There are 5 critical attributes a person will require if they desire to attain any type of professional success in their lives. Now relax these attributes to which we refer are not ’special’ gifts bestowed upon only the ‘chosen’ but can in fact be easily acquired. Once more these attributes or ’success skills’ can be applied to just about any aspect of your life and are not limited to business related activities.

Being motivated comes from taking your dreams out of the realm of fantasy and starting to make them a concrete possibility. This is the first step in making them a reality.

Motivation is the desire to take action, and the belief that your actions will lead you in the direction you want to go.

To create motivation, to figure out exactly what it is you want to have in your life. Saying ‘I just want to be happy’ is very vague, and our minds cannot grasp hold of such an abstract goal. We need to define our goals clearly in order to know where we are headed, and what we need to do to get there.

Why do so many of us feel threatened when we come across some who has a conflicting opinion than us? Why do we get all defensive and feel rejected when someone doesn’t share the same point of view as us?

Can we all be right in what we choose to think?  Or is anybody who has a different point of view automatically wrong?

Let’s take an example.  Say someone likes the color red and someone else likes the color blue.  They each like different colors so who is wrong?  Nobody each is entitled to like whichever color they like.  There is no right and wrong just whatever works for each person individually.

The way the entity of viral beliefs plugs itself into our brain, and damage our full potential, is so different from how our brain is actually wired, and designed to empower you. Each night, you are vulnerable when you fall asleep as the entities of the viral beliefs pervade our nervous system, and render our state of mind a cacophony during the day.

The experience you are having affects the destination you are heading towards. Because the experience you are having is not entirely yours, it originate from other minds, spreading their entity of viral beliefs into a program that invade our nervous system, then, the mind interpret it as reality.

Persistence does not mean banging your head on a brick wall. Saying that we should never give up does not mean that we should persist in trying to do things in ways that clearly don’t work and bring us pain.

What we should persist with is finding ways that do work and that can bring us closer to the goals and desires that we have. To keep your deepest wishes firmly in mind, and to take steps towards fulfilling them every day, no matter how small those steps may be is smart. To keep trying to get to where you want to be by following a route that has been proven to lead in the opposite direction- not so smart.
