7 Tips for a Happier Life http://ping.fm/854LO

Success Begins In The Mind

2010-09-07T07:43:00.000-05:00

Success is characterized in various forms, also has many meanings depending on what one is seeking for in his life, relationship and career. To athletes, success can mean obtaining that gold medal, to parents’ success can mean raising children with good moral values, to doctors, success can mean saving a life and to some it can mean a job promotion or acquiring wealth. It actually depends on one’s perspective of the life that one has. Understanding and success perceptions are as abundant as there are stars in the sky.

One apparent thing about success is that every individual has to determine the true meaning of success in his own life. The one’s who walk through life making an attempt to accomplish “success” through someone else’s standards or through the standards of one’s society will continuously be lacking of that successful feeling.

The modern dictionary defines success as that certain measure or degree of achievement or accomplishment or as a desirable and favorable outcome.

One should make a decision on what one truly wants that can offer a desirable or favorable outcome that must be in each aspect of one’s life. To accomplish success, one has to set realistic goals for his life, meaning goals that can be achieved. One should measure success as to how close one comes to accomplishing one’s goals that one has set for himself based on one’s skills and abilities.

Know that one’s “subconscious mind” is a very incredible and powerful tool that one has yet to improve and utilize it wisely to its complete capacity, to accomplish success.

To fully understand how powerful and encouraging your “subconscious mind” can be, you should understand first and recognize that there really is no “coincidence”, that nothing in life occurs just by chance. Meaning, nothing is predestined, that you have the power to control your life, to control your success and your failure.

Events or incidents in life can be maneuvered or controlled to resolve one’s problems. You have the power to change certain aspects of your life that you are not contented with.

Whereas there is no disagreeing to the actuality that one can not at all times acquire what he wants, it is likewise true that one can utilize one’s natural power over events of one’s life and cause things to move on one’s desired direction more “frequently”.

Expectation, belief and desire are three powerful forces that can help one do so. Before anything that one wishes for to occur can happen, one must desire for it to happen, should believe deeply that it will happen and one should expect that it will happen.

The “subconscious mind” generates all things in one’s life that is on the information and messages one sends to it. One is continuously and regularly sending the mind information and messages and most information sent are useless or that they are negative information functioning against you. This is why things never recuperate regardless of your efforts to make it succeed.

It will be truly difficult to follow any success level if you are not specific and clear regarding what you believe is attainable for yourself. It is then extremely significant assess and gauge your actions, thoughts and motives as you partake your daily life. You should gain understanding and knowledge of where you are and what are you doing wrong as well as what you are doing right. Subsequently you should be ready to change for the better when and as it is needed.

Always remember that whatever you display in your beliefs, thoughts and actions are sent to the “subconscious mind”.

So be very careful of your thoughts, beliefs and actions, as they are great influences to your success. Note that if you worry constantly about not acquiring enough finances, then you will really not acquire enough; thinking that you do not have the capability to accomplish your goals, then you will never achieve any; thinking that there not enough open opportunities, then there will never be.

Why? Simply because the “subconscious mind” is constantly working on those information that you have sent and a “negative information” results to nothing but “negative reality”.

When you do accomplish your goal, stop a while and relish that certain satisfaction and pleasure of achieving a goal. Great or small, it is success; a beginning of that life that you want for yourself!

How To Determine What You Want In Life

2010-08-30T12:29:00.000-05:00

What do you really want in life?

Most people don’t discover what they want in life until it’s time to die – and that’s a shame.

Most people spend the best years of their lives watching television or doing things they dislike. An author described humanity by saying, “Most people die at twenty and are buried at eighty.” Are you one of the living zombies?

What do you really want in life?

Some people struggle in answering such question. When asked what they want or what their goals in life are, many are unsure. They dillydally in their decision, hardly giving any thought about what they want in life. People without definite goals are letting time pass them by. Are you one of these people?

If you are undecided about what you want out of life, do not worry. There are many ways of discovering your purpose in life.

To discover what you want in life, try looking deep into your heart. Oftentimes, people are ruled by logic. People live by what they think they should be or by what others like them to be. The discovery process is the perfect time to listen to your heart. What your heart desires comes from the whispers of your authentic self. Your authentic self is the real you.

Listen to your heart to be able to listen to your authentic self. What your heart says usually feels right. What your heart desires is what you usually love to do and this represents your passion. Anything done with passion is like play where the task is accomplished without hesitation. You pour out your very best and feel no pressure or resistance.

You will totally enjoy doing things that are your passion. Setbacks, difficulties, and obstacles will make it more challenging, but should not deter you from pursuing your goals. Naturally, there may be barriers that may prevent you from reaching your goal, but your heart’s desire will find ways to overcome these barriers so that you may ultimately get what you want in life. Remember this: the universe supports people who are pursuing their passion and those who are pursuing their destiny.

However, this does not mean that you don’t use your head. People are born with both the mind and heart. Your duty is to live your best life and be in harmony with your mind and heart. The poet Rumi wisely said, “Live completely in the head and you cannot feel the breath and rhythm of life. Live completely in the heart and you may find yourself acting like a love-struck fool with poor judgment and discipline. It’s all a fine balance - the head and heart must forge a lifetime partnership if one wants to live a beautiful life.”

Listen to your instinct. Part of human nature is the mysterious and spontaneous reaction on things. Often times, these are called instincts. Your authentic self communicates with you and guides you via instincts. Instincts are those gentle nudges that urge you to act and follow a certain path. Your role then is to listen attentively.

Often times, we listen to what others say and allow them to run our lives. Parents often do this to their children. “We come from a family of doctors, so my son must also be a doctor.” How often do we hear this from parents who have good intentions for their children? Parents unconsciously block the true expression of their child’s real self and calling. Friends and critics will discourage you and point out the impossibility of your dream. Before heeding their advice, evaluate the accomplishments of the critics. Did they achieve theirs dreams? Do they dream big at all?

Remember, it is your destiny that is in line, not theirs. It doesn’t mean, though, that you will not listen to what other people say. Hear them out just the same. But the final decision should be yours.

There is only thing to remember: Every person, to live truly and greatly, must define how he wants to live and what his brightest life will look like. Listen to your instincts and follow your heart’s desire. You will never go wrong.

Two Ways to Be Happy Now

2010-08-25T08:47:00.000-05:00

There are hundreds if not thousands of things and situations that make people happy. Some of these are simple like a good joke, while others are more involved like graduation from school. The combinations are endless, yet many people do not maintain their happiness.

Most people think that happiness is fleeting, a temporary state of affairs. Then they get all serious and often turn dour, that means less than happy. The truth is that happiness is yours for the taking, and you can have happiness all the time.

The first way to be happy

It is a given that being happy brings more happiness, in a never-ending cycle of everyone getting happy. If you are not happy you need to find someone who is and then hang around with him or her for a while, their happiness will start to rub off on you.

I am sure you know a happy person, just go and have a conversation with them, enjoy the moment. Don’t worry about discovering the secret to the meaning of life, or learning rocket surgery, just enjoy the feeling of happiness that you begin to have just because you are in the vicinity.

Yes, happiness is contagious, and you can catch it from others, as well as pass your happiness around to people that come within your area of influence. Smiling is a side effect of happiness, and we all know that smiling is also contagious.

The second way to be happy

You must be happy now to bring happiness into your life, you cannot be happy tomorrow; you cannot plan to be happy later. Now is the only time to be happy. As explained before happiness attracts happiness.

If you are feeling down for no apparent reason, and there is no happy person to go hang out with, then you have to make yourself happy. Try to remember a time or an event that made you happy. Maybe a funny situation, a good joke that always makes you laugh, pictures of the family, pictures of someone else family, something that gave you that good feeling of happiness.

Once you start to feel happy, you will continue to feel happier, it has been proven hundreds of times that you can infect yourself with happiness. If you are not smiling, force yourself to smile, this simple act often releases whatever is blocking your happiness.

Allow yourself to be happy, all the daily problems we all face are blessings in disguise, look for the blessing and you will find that the problem is not as world ending as you thought. While there is life, there is hope, nothing in this world is worth extra worry. Worry about it once, then let go of the worry and go back to being happy.

Live happy and live better

You will find that life in general is good when you are happy. No matter what is going on around you, maintaining your happiness will change everything. People will want to hang around with you, your smile will be greeted with smiles in return, and those that you deal with on a regular basis will be glad to have you around.

The opposite of happy is just no way to live, why would you ever want to go back to not having happiness in your life. You can do so much more when you are happy, and what you do you enjoy because it brings you more happiness.

Self Esteem and The Law of Attraction

2010-08-24T10:05:00.000-05:00

Do you have someone you admire and want to be like, because they seem to have good self-esteem? It is good to emulate those who inspire you, but you cannot be them. You see everyone is an individual; every being incarnated on earth is unique. You can no more be someone else than someone else could be you.

There are billions of humans, all with our own individual set of preferences. We are all different, and unique. To try to be what others want us to be is a waste of our life. We simply must be ourselves, nothing less and nothing more.

Many a showman and politician (not much difference except one is paid more) can tell you the truth of the fact that you cannot make everyone happy at the same time. Humans are just too diverse of a crowd to be able to satisfy all of us at the same time with the same action. To try to make everyone happy is both a waste of time and a thankless task.

Your self-esteem

We lose our identity, our self, our soul, when we try to live our lives to make everyone happy. We will of course fail, as making everyone happy is not realistically possible. This failure will in turn lower our self-esteem, as we will view ourselves as failures. To change this view we must learn to be winners, to have a groove, to be whom we are, for what we are.

Your self-esteem is what you think of yourself, what you think you are worth. When other people belittle you because you did not do what they wanted the way they wanted you to is their problem, not yours. You must not take their criticism of you as truth, as it will only destroy your self-esteem and make your life miserable.

Your life is your life

The law of attraction is simply that we attract into our lives what we think about the most. Our predominant thinking is called our resonation. What we resonate is what comes into our lives. I hope that you can begin to see that by thinking you are a worthless failure will bring more of that into your life event if you really do not want any more of that crap.

We attract that which is consonant with our preferences, the stuff that we think about the most becomes our reality. If you think poorly of yourself, and have low self-esteem. Then you will receive more such stuff that will act as evidence that you are correct. Unless you really enjoy suffering from low self-esteem, you need to change the way you think, as well as the way you think about things.

This deliberate and outrageous statement is the truth behind your life and the way you live it. The Law of Attraction never misses, it is woven into the very fabric of the universe, it will operate regardless of whether or not you “believe” in it. The law of attraction is controlled by your thoughts, and you will get what you ask for, through your thinking.

Maybe you really do not want to be laughed at, well if you keep thinking about it, and worrying about it, then soon you will find yourself getting laughed at. This is where the law of attraction comes in.

Getting to the good stuff

Trying to control other people and trying to please everyone are ideas that will lead you to frustration. You must live your life, you are unique, you are the only you in the universe. If you take a shower does your neighbor smell better? The actions you take should be for you, do not allow others to try to control you. Learn to say no to demands from others that you feel are both unreasonable and un-courteous.

Think of what you want in your life, what do you want to do or be? Take a few moments, take a long walk in the park and talk with yourself, what would make you happy. Be careful here, as revenge does not make anyone happy, it just spreads the misery. Think of your life and how you want to live it, leaving other people out of the picture, you have permission to be selfish here.

Once you have determined what you want to do and be, keep this thought always in your mind. By always thinking of what you want to see happen you will attract it into your life. If you find yourself thinking of what you don’t want stop yourself, and change your thought into what you do want to see. If you are thinking of avoiding conflict, you will find a lot of conflict to avoid, if you are thinking of happiness and harmony you will find a lot of them and never have to worry about the conflict.

When you start to see the world changing to the way you like it you will see that your self-esteem will raise to new heights. You will see that you are in control of you, that you are living your life for your higher good. Those around you will soon stop being critical and you will make new friends to replace any of those you thought were friends but were just using you.

You can be and do whatever you will to

The Way to a Better Life

2010-08-23T11:42:00.000-05:00

What you want from life seems to be different from what you get. The reason is that you are thinking the wrong way. Now do not get all-tense that I used the word wrong, do not take this as a personal attack, think of this as a learning experience.

What most of us were taught at a young age is that we have to work hard to get what we want. This has stuck with us throughout the years, and has come to mean that unless we work hard first we will not get what we want from life. A sad addition to that is often we work against what we do not want, rather than towards what we do want.

Because we are usually wanting either less of something or more of something, we are always keeping in mind what we do not want. Then regardless of how hard we work, we always end up with what we did not want. For example if we want less stress then we are keeping stress in the picture and will continue to receive it. Alternatively, if we want more money, we continue to keep the lack of money in the picture and so continue to experience the lack of money.

What do you want?

To get what you want you need to know what it is that you do want. Now here you must not be general, you must be specific. As explained before, wanting less or more results in keeping what you do not want. You must be specific; if you want less stress, you must actually want peace and solace. If you want more money then you must actually want a stated amount. If you are making $30,000 and a year and want more, then $30,001 is more, do you see where this is leading?

Be specific as to what you want, describe exactly what you do want. Avoid the less than or more than what you do have. As a point in fact do not concern yourself at all with what you have that you may or may not want more or less of. Ask yourself pointedly: What do you want? Do want a shorter commute? If so, you either need a new job that is closer to where you live, or a new home closer to your work. Decide what you want, otherwise you will get something you do not really want, like laid off so there is no commute.

You will get what you ask for.

Now here is a warning; you will get what you ask for, the less specific and detailed the more room for the universe to answer your request, and the more room for loose interpretation. As in the example above the request for a shorter commute was granted, but not with desirable effect. So learn now to focus on what you do want and stay clear of what you do not want.

You can have, be, and do whatever you will to.

The Famous Paragraph 10

2010-08-20T10:37:00.000-05:00

Everyone is familiar with Catch 22, where you are either kept out or kept in a situation because of the rules, but you really cannot do either but somehow have to do both. In the book of the same name, it goes that you cannot be crazy and fly, yet you have to be crazy to fly. There are other familiar catch 22’s, like you cannot get a job without experience, but you cannot get experience without a job.

Then there is the paragraph 10. I am unsure of the original book, and it does sound like Douglass Adams, but I could be mistaken, as it could be another author from another book that I am unsure of where I read it so I am unsure of the original book…. Wait, were being sucked into a paragraph 10.

Well this article is about Paragraph 10

The paragraph 10 is where a cycle gets started, and of its own volition continues to spiral ever larger without losing its meaning. There are quite a few examples, such as: When you gain self-confidence, you gain self-esteem that causes you to gain self-confidence that in turn gains you self-esteem that causes you to gain self-confidence that in turn gains you self-esteem that in turn gains self-confidence that causes you to gain self-esteem.

Another common paragraph 10 is one you probably learned as a kid, the old; I know that you know, that you know that I know, that I know that you know that I know, that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know.

You probably know quite a few paragraph 10s and catch 22s. It seems that we all have and know a lot of them, and they can and do affect our lives, especially when we are not aware of them at first. The one that will get you the most is the paragraph 10.

When you do something and it has an effect, and you do not act in a manner to control the effect, then it will spiral of its own volition with a never-ending result. A classic example is; if you worry a lot, then you get a lot to worry about, that causes you to worry, so you end up worrying a lot. No, I am not going to type that a whole bunch of times.

What to do about paragraph 10

When you find yourself in paragraph 10 situations, and it is spiraling against you as in the example above, you need to do something to end it. To do that is easy, such as change your thought to something else. If it is physical then you need to make a physical action of doing something different.

The key to the whole thing is recognizing that you are in a paragraph 10 situation. If it is working out well for you, then by all means let it continue, on the other hand if it is working against you, then we need to end it, or reverse it.

Your Self-Esteem is Valuable

2010-08-19T09:39:00.002-05:00

Take a Stand for Yourself

One of the things that has a significant bearing on a person’s self-esteem is the respect you get from others. The less respect, the lower your self-esteem, the more respect, the higher your self-esteem. One of the ways to start rebuilding your self-esteem is to stand up for yourself.

People will push you around as much as you allow them to. If somebody asks you to do something and you just run off and do it for them, they will expect you to do it every time. This leads to a vicious cycle of them using you for their convenience, and not considering your needs.

An easy test

Next time someone asks you to do something, tell him or her it will cost them money, in advance. Say they want you to pick up their kids from school, tell them you want twenty bucks, and see how they change their mind. If they are willing to pay, collect the money and do the favor, if they are not willing to pay then they were just using you.

Of course, every situation is different, if you are there any way to get your own kids that’s fine, but if your kids are at a different school, or you don’t have kids then they might be trying to use you. This is one thing that can really hurt your self-esteem.

What is being said here is that if they are capable of doing it for themselves, then they should. If a person demands something from you and you jump to do it, you will never get any respect. We are not talking about your boss who is paying you to jump to it, but other people who think they can use you for nothing in return, not even respect.

The first step to taking back your self-esteem

All you have to do is stand up for yourself. Please dear reader understand that you deserve to be treated with respect by everyone. It may shock you to have to say no to someone, or to tell him or her that you will do it only if they pay you. The good news is that it only takes a few times of asserting your rights in order to start gaining respect from them, and restoring your self-esteem.

While it may be hard at times to say no to certain people, you can, you have the right to say no, and the right to agree with their demand but only on your terms. Create a win win situation, you get paid, they get their kids picked up from school

You do not need to, or have to, get angry or aggressive, just be persistent, and assertive when letting others know that they may not walk all over you. Once you have done this a few times, you will start to feel a great new confidence, and this will give you some soaring self-esteem.

There is nothing wrong with you wanting more out of life, and once you get your self-esteem back your life will be a richer and fuller life. Watch out for people who will try to make you feel guilty for being assertive and telling them no. Continue to stand up for yourself. Show others that you deserve respect just as they demand respect.

When they respect you your self-esteem will rise, your confidence will become solid, and your life will be happier.

The Secret of Happiness and Success

2010-08-18T08:54:00.000-05:00

To have success is also to have happiness. While success means different things to each of us, without success we are not happy. Being successful is a two-part process; first, there is determination and second there is belief. The secret is that both of these begin in the mind.

You cannot be happy if you allow others to decide your fate, to allow life to just rather push you along life a leaf in a river. This will create resentment, lost opportunity, conflict, and more importantly; unhappiness in your life.

We all must choose our own life; you are responsible for your life, your success, and your happiness. Nobody can do it for you, for example if I eat a pizza, will you feel full? If I take a shower, will you smell better? Of course not, but I hope that helps you to understand that you are who is in charge of your life.

The conscious decision

We all make choices every day, what to eat, what to wear, and so on. The big decision we must make is what to do. We decide what to do, and it is this choice that we must be aware of, if we are to achieve our success and happiness.

We must be prepared mentally, spiritually, and physically to make the choices that affect our lives. To do any less is to surrender to being just another face in the crowd, to being an anonymous member of society. We must determine what it is that means success to us, what does success mean to you is the thought that must be present in your mind at all times.

Choosing the direction

If you go to a bus station and ask for a ticket, the teller will request a destination. If you do not tell the teller a destination, you will not get a ticket to ride. Just as in your life: If you do not know where you are going, you will never get anywhere.

You decide what you want to do, and where you want to go. Without a clear idea of what you want to be means that you get what is left over from other peoples efforts, if anything at all. There is no such thing as something for nothing, everything has a cost. To not choose costs you any chance of success, to not know what you want costs you your happiness.

Making the choice

Decide first what it is that you desire, what do you desire to do or be? You can take this first, and most important, step towards success and happiness. Without this destination, there can be no journey.

Then determine that it shall be, that it will happen, that you will make it happen, that it will be yours. Feel the burning desire to see it through to completion, and you will start taking the steps needed to make your desire a reality in your life.

Then have faith in yourself. When you first start an endeavor you have to have a little faith, you are learning new things, doing new things, and you will get better as time goes on, but at first, it will seem difficult, and that is why you need to have faith to get you through the start up.

Soon after you begin, you will notice that your skills are getting better, that your ability to do things becomes easy and second nature. This is where faith turns into belief. Now you know you can, you can prove it, you can have it, and you can do it.

Then you will have success, you will have happiness, and above all: you will have your own life.

True Happiness is There for The Taking

2010-08-17T10:54:00.000-05:00

Regardless of what you may have been thinking you can have happiness in your life. If you feel like you are bored with your life, then you are not doing what it is that you should be doing. If you are not doing what you should be doing with your life then it is time to make a change.

If you have ever had goals or dreams and then gave them up for “real” life, you may be frustrated. You may even think you have obstacles or fears holding you back from accomplishing the goals you had. Because of this you are not happy. Well my friend, it is time to get past the obstacles and make your dreams happen.

Your life is yours to live

All of us have a passion about something, be it gardening, child care, rocket surgery, and what have you. Do you know your passion? It is your passion that will bring you true happiness, so you need to discover what your passion is and bring it to fulfillment.

We all are seeking happiness, some of us get temporary highs and think this is happiness, it is close but not good enough. Like the athletes who runs a race, their body gives them a big dose of endorphins, and they feel good. They enjoy the high and think this is true happiness, then the endorphins wear off and so does their happiness.

The way to get your true happiness is to find your passion and do it, both as a way to make you happy and as a career. Every passion has the capability of making money, we should not sit around and avoid our passion because we might think we cannot financially survive on it. We can survive, if we figure out the angle to make it happen we will more than survive, we will thrive.

Seeking out your purpose

One way to discover your passion is to do long hours of therapy and counseling. Another is to get feedback from friends and family as to what they think you are good at, and another is to seek the answer from yourself.

One of the best and cheapest ways to seek the answer from yourself is to meditate. Now don’t go getting all tense because of a word, stay with me for a moment and you will discover a secret.

Many people associate meditation with a religion and so think it is wrong as you would be unfaithful to your religion. Using meditation does not mean you belong to a cult, or some other strange and mysterious sect. Meditation is a tool, nothing more. For those who think they are doing anything religiously wrong are simply missing out on something extremely important.

Meditation can help you bring true happiness into your life, and the practice could be exactly what you need to balance out your life. Meditation is one of the most effective ways to change your well being, and it has been proven that meditation generates brain activity on the left side, which produces a positive emotion in the body.

Your life is your happiness

Seeking answers from your self will lead to better and more productive results. It is your life, and to be happy requires you to live your life the way you want to live it, not the way others think you should no matter how well intentioned they are.

If your mom wants you to work at the post office, and you want to be a rocket surgeon, what will happen to your life if you live like your mom wants you too. Will you be happy, or will your mom be happy? While working for the post office may make a decent living you will not be doing what your passion is, you will not have true happiness.

You, and you alone are inside your skin, and you and you alone feel the emotions that are inside you. If I eat a pizza, do you feel full? You must live for you and your happiness.

Be Blessed

Success and True Happiness Begins In The Mind

2010-08-16T09:35:00.000-05:00

Success is characterized in various forms; it also has many meanings depending on what you are seeking for in this life. To some success can mean obtaining that gold medal, to others it can mean a job promotion or acquiring wealth. It actually depends on one’s perspective of the life that one has.

Understandings of success perceptions are as abundant as there are stars in the sky. One apparent thing about success is that every individual has to determine the true meaning of success in his or her own life. Those who walk through life attempting to accomplish “success” through someone else’s standards or for someone else will continuously be lacking true happiness.

True happiness is your own life

The modern dictionary defines success as that certain measure or degree of achievement or accomplishment or as a desirable and favorable outcome. This translates as setting and completing goals.

One should make a decision on what one truly wants in their life, and what it is that they can do to achieve that outcome. For only by accomplishing your own goals, that you have set, can you realize happiness.

To accomplish success, one has to set realistic goals for their life, goals that can be achieved. One should measure success as to how close one comes to accomplishing one’s goals. Goals are outcomes that one has set for their self, based on one’s skills and abilities. Sometimes these skills must be learned, developed, and then used to accomplish the goal.

Know that one’s “subconscious mind” is a very incredible and powerful tool that one has yet to improve and utilize it wisely to its complete capacity, to accomplish success.

To fully understand how powerful and encouraging your “subconscious mind” can be, you should understand first and recognize that there really is no “coincidence”, that nothing in life occurs just by chance. Meaning, nothing is predestined, that you have the power to control your life, to control your success and your failure.

You have the power to change certain aspects of your life that you are not content with, you and you alone are the responsible party for making your life happy.

The secret of success

Expectation, belief and desire are three powerful forces that can help one to lead a life of true happiness. Before anything that one wishes for to occur can happen, one must desire for it to happen, should believe deeply that it will happen and then should expect that it will happen.

The “subconscious mind” generates all things in your life based on the information and messages you send to it. You are continuously sending the mind information, and most information sent is useless or worse; negative information, that will function against you.

It will be truly difficult to find success if you are not specific and clear regarding what you believe for yourself. It is then extremely important that you assess and gauge your actions, thoughts, and motives as you live your daily life.

You should figure out where you are and what are you doing, both what you are doing wrong as well as what you are doing right. This is where you should be ready to change for the better when and as it is needed.

Always remember that whatever you believe, whatever you think, this information is sent “subconscious mind”, and this in turn is converted into actions that you perform.

You think, therefore you are

So be very careful of your thoughts, and beliefs, as they are great influences to your success, and ultimately your happiness. As an example; if you worry constantly about not acquiring enough finances, then you will really won’t; thinking that you do not have the capability to accomplish your goals, then you will never achieve any; thinking that there not enough open opportunities, then there will never be.

To achieve true happiness you must have goals in your life, things that you desire to have, or do, or be. While all things take time to come into existence, they never will if you do not first think of them, and then act towards their creation.

When you do accomplish your goal, stop and relish that pleasure of achieving a goal. This feeling is happiness, and the greater the goal the greater the happiness.

Be Blessed

A New Day and A New Life of Happiness

2010-08-14T08:02:00.000-05:00

I am Happy

Here it is my favorite day of the week, Saturday.

Every morning I wake up and am thankful to be alive,(after a moment or two) this tells me that I still have a purpose on this earth, and I need to get to it.

We all desire to be happy, and one way to be happy is to have a reason, a purpose in life. If you do not have a grand purpose then maybe just a purpose for today.

Let me elaborate; If you are looking forward to something you are happy, and are driven to accomplish that goal. Let us use the example of going to a theme park. You wake up the morning of the event are looking forward to going on the rides, eating cotton candy and funnel cakes, seeing the exibits and shows, and of course lets not forget the souveniers.

The morning you wake up for that day you are happy, your thoughts are not on whatever problems you may have but only on the fun you are about to experience. This is what happiness is all about, enjoying the moment, and having fun.

This leads us to being happy every day. Happiness is something you experience as you fulfill a purpose. For one day at the theme park you are happy. What would make you happy every day? A purpose of course.

Ask yourself what is your purpose today, maybe it is to take the kids to their play or recital, maybe it is to groom your pets, maybe it is to finish a project that you started. There is something to look forward to every day, all you have to do is find out what it is.

If you have a grand purpose then you are blessed and are truly on the path to lasting happiness. If you know you are to be of service to the world, or accomplish some greater good for humanity, then you have true happiness as you are on a path and your life has a purpose.

However if you don't have a grand purpose yet, then seek the one for today. You woke up alive for a reason, for a purpose, so go do it and it will lead you to happiness.

Be Blessed

The Way of the Happiness Warrior

2010-08-13T09:02:00.000-05:00

Today we talk about what it means to be happy. First off we ask why we should be happy. Well, just to state the obvious, being happy makes us feel good. Feeling good makes us enjoy life, and enjoying life makes us content.

What is a happiness warrior?

Going about your day with the goal of making other people happy is harder than one would think. This is not to say go around being a clown all day, but rather to look for ways to cheer people up. Of course, smiling all day is good, as it is contageous.

Unfortunatly there are people out there who are determined to be sour, and to try to spread their anti-happiness where ever they tread. Then of course there are those who are just mean, and are attracted to happy people just so they can try to ruin their day.

These are the people we are here to counter, thus this makes us happiness warriors. We will go behind them and repair the shattered ids and egos of those who were not strong enough to withstand the assaults of the sour and the mean, and we will offer friendship and happiness to comfort those who have suffered at the hands of the sour or mean.

When we confront the sour and the mean we will stay positive and keep smiling, of course this will drive them crazy and they will try even harderr to break us. We will withstand the onslaught and resist the unhappiness. The cool thing here is we can point out the obvious without being too confrontational.

We can ask why they are so sour or why they are so mean. We can ask why nobody likes them, why nobody cares about them, and why people are happy when they leave. This of course will get responses, and we must be repaired for some scathing retort, but we have stopped their spread of unhappiness, and have improved the happiness of all around us.

To be a happiness warrior is to accept that you are just doomed to always be happy, and to stay happy even in the face of adversity.

In the near future I will post some tips on staying happy regardless of circumstances, so stay tuned.

Be Blessed

At long last back to happiness

Tips to change your life

2010-08-09T11:11:00.000-05:00

Set realistic goals. The ability to focus on the task at hand will always be successful, to only focus on giant goals far in the future will result in a long hard road, and we want to have fun. So keep the giant goal for later and set smaller goals that you can achieve easily, like lose one pound at a time and eat a balanced diet every day.

• Stay on track and if you fall off get right back on. Start with the sensible eating, and if you cannot resist and attack a large plate of food, forgive yourself and restart your plan where you left off. Stay with it, and soon you will no longer have those food attacks, and will be a slimmer you.

• Listen to your body. Each person’s body reacts differently to different weight loss plans, so you may have to try different plans to see which one will work for you. If one plan seems to not be working, then substitute for a different program. Whatever you do, just do not quit and you will succeed.

• The same goes for your exercise program. To get the most weight loss the activity must be suitable to one's body. To ask a 500-pound woman to get off the couch and swim across the Atlantic would only end up in disaster. So find what is right for you. Just keep in mind that muscle looks far better than fat, so if you cannot seem to lose weight, then turn your fat into muscle.

• A little self-discipline goes a long way, and is cheaper than pills and surgery for weight loss. Just change one little thing at a time, you do not have to try to change all your habits in one day. Consistent effort is the best practice, stick with the plan and depending on your effort, it will work sooner than later.

For that weight loss success, remember: Light dieting, the right workout, and the right amount of supplements everyday will result in faster weight loss than not doing anything.

Habitual Weight Loss

2010-08-05T12:13:00.000-05:00

Everybody has habits; we are built to have habits. Sort of like a car is built to run on four tires, and if one of them is missing the ride is seriously off. We humans are similar, we have habits, and if one of them is missing, we do not function correctly.

Weight loss is one of those habits we need. There are a lot of people out there with weight gain habits right now. They are overweight and out of shape because they have adopted the wrong habits.

You cannot quit a habit

As I was alluding to before, you have a set amount of habits; this is the way you are built to function. You have good habits and bad habits, and will always have habits. You can no sooner quit a habit than you can quit having skin.

To change your life you have to change your habits. This is especially true for weight loss. You have a bad habit of eating too much of the wrong stuff, you cannot quit, as it is a habit. The only way to “get rid of” a habit is to change it.

You have to make an effort to change your habit in order to be successful at weight loss. This is true in all areas of life, but is especially effective in the weight loss area of endeavor. To lose weight, and become fit and trim, you have to change your current habits to healthy habits.

What is a habit?

A habit is something you do, and have done so many times that you don’t even think about it anymore, you just do it on automatic. It could be something simple and harmless like always putting your right shoe on first, to something that is a bit more dangerous and harmful such as eating too often and too much.

To experience successful weight loss you will need to focus on your current habit, and then change it to a good habit. Let us say that right now your habit is poor diet, you eat too much of the wrong stuff. Another habit that is a major player in people being overweight is you have a habit of not being active, that is you find something non-active to do, like watch TV.

Replace your habits to improve your life

Therefore, to improve your health and your happiness you need to improve your habits. Start small by making it a point to start eating only nutritious foods, after a few weeks it will not be so tough and will be starting to become second nature. You will even see a few pounds have left you; this is a sign that you are successfully changing your habit.

Next, add some activity into your life. If there is a repeat on TV instead of watching it, go outside and go for a walk. Again, after a few weeks of going for a walk you will find that you enjoy them and they are becoming a part of your life. You also will notice you have lost some more weight and are starting to feel better.

Keep eating reasonable meals, keep being active, and soon you will find that you have replaced your bad habits with good. You will feel right as you still have the same amount of habits, but you will be getting healthy and that will lead to having a long and happy life.

Be Blessed.

Weight Loss for a Better Future

2010-08-04T11:04:00.000-05:00

Why worry about weight loss? One of the things that bothers a lot of people these days is how overweight they are, and how it limits their life. They can’t go to the places they want as they are too big. For example, some amusement parks now have a weight limit on who can ride certain rides. Forcing them to lose weight or not ride.

Another limiting factor of being overweight is that you can’t do things you want to do as you either are too embarrassed about your size or are not able to do the activity as it may be too strenuous and cause you to have a heart attack. This is just a way of life for you; it is a lifestyle, which is not the most enjoyable.

Remember your dreams

I am sure that you did not set your sights on becoming overweight and unhealthy. While most kids were talking of being astronauts or famous explorers, you did not talk about being overweight and watching TV for the rest of your life.

What was it you desired to be when you grew up? Have you thrown away your dreams for food? You can still be and do what you dream, and one of the first steps is weight loss.

This is now why you are looking for weight loss solutions, so that you can have a life, so that you can accomplish your dreams, and so that you can do whatever it is you want to do, or at least have the option to do it.

Weight loss simplified

You can lose weight by drastically cutting down on the amount of calories you ingest in a day. You can lose weight by exercising. Either one by themselves will make for a prolonged weight loss solution.

The best way for effective weight loss is to combine the two, eat responsibly and get active. If you want to see some pounds leaving your body, you have to do both to make the fat go away.

Calories that are not used are stored on the body for later use. If you eat and are not active you will store those calories somewhere on your body. This fat accumulates over time. When you get too much you also are at risk for many diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.

To lead a healthy life you need to lose weight and keep it off. To have you health is everything, as it is the one true thing that is yours. To throw away your health is to destroy your life, and since this is the only one you have, do not waste it.

Choose your life

There is a subtle meaning to that statement, you, and you alone choose your life. You may be overweight for a number of emotional reasons, whatever they are you need to forgive yourself, forgive all the others, forgive the hurts, and forgive the past.

You live now, and only now, you cannot change the past, so let it go into the past and stay there. You need to focus on now, and everything you do now effects your future. Decide for yourself what kind of future do you want, do you want fit and trim and happy? Or do you want unhealthy and unhappy?

Weight Loss to Have a Happy Life

2010-08-03T10:51:00.000-05:00

When you are overweight, you suffer from many ailments as well as low self-esteem, and a poor quality of life. Weight loss programs do not always address the life part, just the weight part of your problem.

Sure, you know that heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, and other serious illness are more common among overweight people, but did you know that there is a quality of life issue too?

Losing weight helps to prevent and control diseases

When you get down to a healthy weight, you are at a much-reduced chance for any of those serious diseases to affect you. With good eating and activity habits, you will remain free of the complications that being overweight causes.

You will lead a good healthy lifestyle, and that will result in good health. It will make for a much higher quality of life, as you will be able to do what you want when you want to. You will no longer have to consider your weight before you go to do something.

If you do not have your health, you do not really have anything

With poor health, you cannot do the things you desire, all you can do to satisfy those desires is to substitute food for them, which leads to even more weight problems, and therefore more unfulfilled desires. A deadly whirlpool of destruction, but you can give yourself the gift of a better life.

By choosing a weight loss program and sticking to it, you will increase your quality of life, as well as your life span. You will be able to enjoy so many more things in life, and this will lead to happiness.

With poor health, the most activity you can do is go see the doctor, with good health you can go and do almost anything you desire to do. Of course, some things will require you to learn a skill before you do them, like mountain climbing, but you can do that if you choose to because you have your health.

Weight loss is a lifestyle change

One thing that people seem to ignore is that a weight loss program must be for life. You cannot take a pill, lose weight and keep it off. If you keep doing what you are doing you will keep getting what you have now. To achieve something different you will have to do something different.

Pick a weight loss plan that you think you can sustain for the rest of your life. Do you think you could only eat tofu and eggplant everyday for the rest of your life? Probably not, look for something that offers a variety of recipes and choices in food. You are going to change the way you eat, and you are going to change it for life.

Choose an activity you like

Exercise in the gym is just too overwhelming for someone just starting out to change their life. Choose something easy like walking, dancing, or bicycling. Then when you are in much better shape, you may very well choose the gym, as there are a lot of friendly people there.

Increase your daily activity; park further away from the store so you can walk longer, take the stairs not the elevator, if it is a short distance walk instead of taking the car, do some extra chores around the house instead of enduring another repeat of a show. In this way, you will teach yourself to not be afraid of exerting yourself, and this will make you more likely to lose weight and keep it off.

Being Happy Through Weight Loss

2010-08-02T09:47:00.000-05:00

Weight Loss is For The Rest of our Live

A diet alone cannot make somebody lose weight. The weight loss that we seek is more than eliminating excess fat from the body; we actually want a better life. To start and stop diets, results in frustration and makes us think we are destined to be fat for the rest of our lives.

There is the key, “the rest of our lives”, we must be willing to start and stay on a weight loss program for the rest of our lives. There it is, finally, after looking for so long you have just found the secret to weight loss success.

You are what you think

Look at you, then look at the way you are. Being overweight is just not as fun as you thought it would be. You are overweight for a variety of reasons, everyone has that in common, and what those reasons are must be forgiven. If you grew up overweight, or became overweight as an adult you must now change, or stay overweight.

A diet alone should never be used as the sole weight loss procedure, you will see minimal results. You will need to add activity as well as a mindset that you will have a better and healthier life.

A weight loss plan must include a balanced diet, as well as an increase in activity. Whether you exercise, play a sport, take up an activity such as bike riding, or even long walks is up to you, but you have to have the second part to lose weight and keep it off.

Permanent weight loss is possible

The way you are now, and what you do now makes being overweight permanent. If you do not change this behavior, you will stay overweight. Realize the truth that a weight loss program is for the rest of your life. That you cannot lose a few pounds and then go back to the way you were.

You must never go back to the way you were, the change you seek would not yield permanent results with temporary efforts. You must stay with it for the rest of your life. You are in charge of your life, not your fat, not your parents, not your friends. You and you alone are responsible for you.

You must choose a weight loss plan that will fit you, something that you can do for the rest of your life. That includes eating right and exercise. The key here is variety, being able to choose different things to eat and different activities to do will lead to your weight loss success.

Exercise is not something to be feared

Often when the work exercise is used people will immediately become defensive and put off. To most of us exercise hurts, is uncomfortable and unpleasant. So find some activity that you can enjoy. To some workouts at the gym are great, to others brisk walks are the ticket. Try a few different activities and see what you like to do, then do it.

When you get bored of that activity, replace it with another activity. If you get bored with long walks, take up biking. If you get bored with the gym, try dancing lessons. Always have an activity that you do at least three times a week for twenty minutes or more.

You can succeed with weight loss, you just have to keep on the plan you chose. You can only fail if you quit, so don’t quit.

Weight Loss with the Law of Attraction

2010-07-31T08:36:00.000-05:00

People who want to lose weight often worry about failure right off the bat. This is not the correct way to commence a weight loss plan, you must first convince yourself that this can and will work.

The Law of Attraction will bring into your life the things you think about the most, this is called manifesting. Everything that exists right now was once a thought, and through effort and concentration was brought into existence.

This is the same for you, if you brought extra weight into your life it is because you make the effort and concentrated your thoughts and gained the weight. Maybe a bit unconsciously, but that is what you did.

Your thoughts count.

If you want to lose weight, you must start with the right mind set. It is a fact that when seeking weight loss most people think about reducing the amount of food they eat. Therefore, instead of eating a pound of celery, they eat a half pound of pizza and think they have reduced. Volume not calories is all they are concerned about as inside they are thinking that weight loss will be painful.

What you think about will come out of your mouth. You will eventually speak the thoughts you are having; it is human nature to do this. When you hear yourself say things like “this won’t work” and “I can’t lose weight”, you are revealing what you are thinking, and this is what you are attracting into your life.

The Law of Attraction does not care

Whatever you are thinking and saying is what you are manifesting into your life. You are what brings it to you; it is your responsibility to make your life what you want it to be. To do this you have to correct your thoughts and your patterns.

To achieve weight loss goals you need to convince yourself ahead of time that you will succeed. Once you start do not quit, and whenever you catch yourself thinking that this will not work, correct yourself with a firm reprimand and a counter thought that it can and must work.
Losing weight does not have to mean sacrifice and suffering.

Weight loss programs are just methods that you can use to achieve goals in your life. To start a program gives you tools to use to achieve weight loss goals, as well as opening up to a more full and healthy life.

Thinking about feeling good about yourself, looking good, and doing the things you want to do. Do not focus on the fat, focus on the new and improved you. In a short while, always with the right attitude you will see the changes in your life.

With this, you can lead a healthier and happier life, being able to do and be whatever you desire...

Happiness Through Health

2010-07-30T12:31:00.000-05:00

Hello again to you all

So what did I do with the happiness theme? You have probably been wondering why I have been on the weight loss kick lately. Well it has to do with my neighbors. Then you are wondering why I no longer talk about happiness.

Over the years neighbors have come and gone, some were good and we were sorry to see them leave, others were bad and we were happy to see them go, and this current batch seems to all be fat. Not a little overweight but just fat.

I have been talking to them a lot about weight loss, because they are fat. They complain about their health alot too. They fight with each other more than any other I have seen, they are just not a happy bunch.

This kind of proves my point that health leads to happiness. If they were not so fat they would not complain about their health so much, and would probably fight less as they would have more money for other stuff besides food.

Being overweight causes their health problems, like high blood pressure, pre-diabetes as well as diabetes, heart problems, breathing problems, and sore legs, feet and backs from all the extra weight they carry. If they lost about 100 pounds each they would all feel better and would be happier.

Good health leads to happiness, when you have your health you are worried less, and you can be more active. The heat bothers you less, the chores are easier, and life in general is just better.

I am seeing for myself the effects of obesity on people. I myself am well within my weight limits, a 32 waist, thats good for a 6 foot guy, not even close to what size these people are. There is one guy who is so fat he is trying to get on disability for his weight.

So if you are still wondering why I am talking about being healthy, now you know. Happiness is a state of mind, but there are other things that make you happy too. Like good health!

Weight Loss Is Work

2010-07-29T11:50:00.000-05:00

The ideal way to produce weight loss is through a balance of good nutrition and exercise. While this one sentence says it all, it would be an extremely short article if I did not elaborate a bit. What we are saying here is that you will have to expend some effort to accomplish your goal.

Realize the truth of weight loss; it takes effort and dedication to you to truly lose the weight and keep it off. You will have to change the way you live your life. If you are not ready to accept this fact then you will not succeed with any weight loss program you try.

Bad Diets

There are so many diet plans out there that it would take a whole book to list them all. Most of them are quite restrictive and boring. You will start with great enthusiasm as skilled copywriters usually hype the plan up. Then as you proceed, you will find that your enthusiasm wanes, and you cannot sustain such a program, as it does not offer any reward except the far distant hope of losing a few pounds.

These weight loss programs are usually only focused on eating a certain food over and over, replacing everything else you eat. Sometimes they are pills designed to remove water from your system, and sometimes they are nothing more than a way to take your money without any real permanent success. There is no such thing as something for nothing; you cannot achieve permanent weight loss with no effort.

Real weight loss

To lose weight and keep it off will require a smart, well-informed approach. You will need to find out before you start a program if it will be able to followed for a long time, usually measured in years not days. You will need to know if you can accept the changes that a particular plan suggests.

One of the big things that most weight loss plans neglect is the activity part. You will need to get some exercise. There is no way around it; if you do not increase your activity level, you will not lose weight. Now here is where you must make a careful choice as once you start you will have to do this for many years to come to achieve permanent results.

You must combine a nutritious balance diet with activity to experience real weight loss. This is the winning formula; any other plan that suggests otherwise will not work out in the end. You may get a temporary quick result, but you will gain it all back, and you will run the risk of developing health problems beyond what you may already be experiencing.

What you really don’t want to hear

The activity part of the equation is also known as exercise. For some reason people cringe at hearing that word, and pale with the prospect that they will have to do some. Get over it, anything worth having requires some effort, if you want to have a healthier you, you will need some exercise.

Exercise can be as simple as taking a daily walk to as complicated as a full gym workout, to as strenuous as participating in a sporting event. Only you can determine what the right level is for you. Also take into consideration your tolerance of other people, if you get along well with others you may very well like a gym workout, if you are competitive you may enjoy sports, and if you are a bit shy and need to spend some time with yourself you may go for the long walks.

You can do it

You are the one who got out of shape and overweight, and you are the one who will get fit and trim. You simply must desire to be healthy, and then find a weight loss plan that will both work for you and can be sustained for the rest of your life. You must change what you are doing now to become a better you, to hope to someday end the plan is to hope to fail. Fit and trim is a lifestyle, just as being overweight is a lifestyle. Which one do you want the most?

The Fat Free Weight Loss Trap

2010-07-28T10:55:00.000-05:00

If you are learning about weight loss there is something you must know. There is a huge misconception going around today that low fat and fat free foods are good for you. These foods still have calories, and most of those calories are known as an empty calorie, as it does nothing to improve or nourish the body.

The foods that have the huge low fat and fat free labels are usually junk food. Low fat candy bars? Fat free potato chips? Come on people just because it may not be as bad for you as they once were doesn’t make them good for you.

Am I asking you to give up your junk food? Of course not, just eat less of it. One candy bar a week is plenty; make it your Saturday afternoon treat, but to eat one or two every day is just asking to put yourself or keep yourself in the overweight crowd.

The weight loss plan

Now a lot of people are seeking various weight loss techniques because they have gained a little too much weight and now it is a problem. It is never too late to start a weight loss program; the sooner you start the easier it is.

It is common knowledge, almost legend that most people who start a weight loss regime fail. They lose a few pounds then go back to their old ways and not only gain all those pounds back, but often a few more as well.

The reason those people failed is that they quit, if you start a weight loss program you cannot fail if you do not quit. Don’t go all guilt trip just because you could not resist a candy bar in the middle of the week, or you had seconds at the buffet, just get up the next morning and continue your program that you started.

The reason to eat right

As you are probably well aware, being overweight is more than just a cosmetic condition that may make you less attractive to the opposite sex. Being overweight also has some significant health risks and can cause self-esteem issues. There is no good reason to be overweight. Therefore, you need to get on and stick with a weight loss plan.

We have all been taught in school what it is to eat right. We know about the food pyramid, and the required daily values we need to survive and be healthy. It seems that we have begun to ignore that knowledge out of convenience. It is much easier to eat food that someone else has already prepared, so we do not have to expend any effort to enjoy it, all we need to do is stuff it into our face.

Depending on your activity level, you need a certain caloric intake to maintain that level. If you are a professional athlete, you have a much higher calorie need than a person who sits on the couch and watches sports. The problem here is that the person on the couch consumes as many calories as the athlete, yet has way less activity. Therefore, the person on the couch gains weight.

The secret to weight loss

The best way to lose weight and keep it off is portion control. There are many charts and books of charts out there that will tell you what activities burn what calories. All you need do is write down your normal activities and then look them up in the chart to see how many calories you burn in a day. On the same note, many publications tell you how many calories a food has. So write down what you eat in a day.

You will probably be shocked to find out that you eat many times what you burn off. This is the reason you are learning about weight loss. If you are burning 1500 calories a day, and you are eating 3500 calories a day, you are gaining weight. To stop this you either need to increase your activity level to match what you are burning to what you are eating, or decrease your intake to match your activity.

Portion control is the solution

The best weight loss plan is a combination of decreasing your caloric intake and at the same time increasing your activity to burn off your stored calories. At first, you may be a little disappointed at the size of your meals, but as you see the pounds melting off you will be happy to stick with them.

One of the first things you must do is called the “push away” technique. Push away from the table when you start to feel satisfied. Satisfied is better than full, it allows you to continue to function normally without any restrictions. Push away when you offered seconds, push away from the large piece of dessert, push away from the extra roll. With just a little practice, this becomes second nature and is so easy you will wonder how you ever ate so much in the past.

Then to help you to fight hunger, especially when you are first starting a weight loss regime, have a snack that is healthy for you. When that hunger strikes, drink a glass of water and eat a light snack such as a rice cake or a granola bar. Only one, do not make a meal of them, just a light snack. If you are still hungry, drink another glass of water.

You can succeed if you do not quit. To quit is to fail. You can achieve weight loss, and lead a happy and healthy life if you start and never quit.

Be Blessed.

Finding a Weight Loss Plan that Works for You

2010-07-27T10:10:00.000-05:00

Are you looking to lose weight? One of the best ways to experience weight loss is with a plan. Just deciding that you want weight loss is not enough, you must find a plan that not only will match your personality, but will help you too. You need a plan that involves three elements: Your mind, your body, and your spirit. For you are all these, and just focusing on one will not bring you the results you desire.

Finding a weight loss program

Looking for a weight loss program involves finding something that addresses more than just a food diet. For example, if you eat nothing but toast, you will lose weight, then when you have lost a few pounds, you will want your regular food, and then when you go back to eating the way you used to you will gain all your weight back. You need a plan that will still allow you to eat real food and not starve.

You will also need something that will also help you determine why you eat, is it for energy, to replace your lack of sleep, or as an emotional replacement. These issues also need to be addressed, so that you can enjoy weight loss success. As you can see, you will need to find a plan that addresses all these things together so that you can enjoy your life.

Joining a weight loss program

As you look around you will find that you have a number of different options. There are do it yourself programs, on line programs, and local programs that you go to at least a few times a week. You need to determine what fits you the best. Do you have strong willpower? If so you can use one of the do it yourself courses. Do you have a need for some direction and to have goals set for you? Then an online program would probably work very well for you. Do you need support from others when you are feeling unsure and hungry? Then a local weight loss plan would be best for you to join.

Once you have made your choice, make a commitment. Determine to yourself that you will stick with the plan for at least six months. Then if it is not working to your satisfaction then you can switch plans. You cannot fail unless you quit, so once you start stay with the weight loss goal you set for your own self. Everyone is different; some need only a book to change their life, while at the other end of the spectrum other people need a clinic. Only you can decide what is right for you.

Staying the course

Starting a weight loss program is a lifetime commitment. You will be changing the way you do things, the way you use food, and the way you live your life. Be aware of this aspect and you will have a far better chance of succeeding with your goals. As with all things, it gets easier with practice. Then after a while, it will seem just an easy routine to you, it will be a part of your life. This is what leads to permanent weight loss, as well as a happier and healthier life.

Weight Loss from Getting out of The Chair

2010-07-26T14:30:00.000-05:00

It seems that we as a race have developed habits that are naturally causing us to grow fat. We need weight loss because we live our lives like penned animals; we put ourselves in a cage, and keep ourselves there. We have bodies designed for doing things yet today in these modern times we have built a lifestyle where we are simply do not move much. Sure, we are moving from the bed to the breakfast table; from the table to the office chair; from the office to the restaurant booth; from the restaurant to the couch, then the dinner table, and then back to the bed. No wonder we need to learn about weight loss.

Today, our daily obligations keep us tied to chairs, with the resultant lack expending any real physical effort, and thus we gain weight. There are health experts that insist that obesity problems are caused at least as much by lack of physical activity as by eating too much. This means that if we want exercise, then we have to seek it out.

It is important that people move around.

Now this does not mean that walking a lap around the house will offset a daily dose of donuts. Exercise alone is not enough, if you just exercise and do not watch your diet; you may be able to prevent weight gain but will not experience the weight loss you desire.

Weight loss is not something that you are likely to sustain unless exercise is part of an overall program. The more regularly you exercise, (please note that the word regularly was used) the easier it is to maintain your weight. Therefore, you must make some sort of physical activity a normal part of your day, just as sitting in a chair is part of your day.

Getting yourself moving

As with any exercise program, always check with your doctor. One of the safest and most effective physical activities is walking. A brisk walk will help you experience weight loss without the high impact exercises. Start out by walking around the block or around the track at the park.

Make it something you do every day. If you eat that day, you take a walk that day. Now if it is raining go for the walk anyway, if you can safely take a shower you can safely walk in the rain. Make walking a habit, you should walk at least 20 minutes for every meal you eat, this will at least help you from gaining weight, if not help you get the weight loss you are working towards.

Some other ideas to help you to walk more; are park your car further away from the entrance to a store, it is easier to find a spot and it does you good to walk a bit. Take the stairs for at least one floor, the line for the elevator is far shorter and you will feel better for the effort. After dinner, make a part of the routine to walk off your dinner, it will aid you in digestion as well as weight loss.

Weight Loss Program That You Make Easy http://ping.fm/s5fIx

Weight Loss Success Can Be Yours

2010-07-23T11:15:00.000-05:00

Weight loss requires a plan, and more than a plan, weight loss requires that you take action on and with that plan. You will succeed as long as you stick to the weight loss plan at hand. To quit is to fail, to keep working at it even though the results are not coming fast enough will result in success. Change you plan a little here, and a little there, and never give up.

Weight loss requires some work

To achieve any weight loss goal, you will need to do some actual physical movement. To cut down on calories and food intake is good, but that alone will not achieve a healthy life. You need to have some exercise. I hear you groaning over there and making excuses, but exercise does not mean going out and running a marathon, it means doing something besides sitting.

One thing to do that is easy is to stretch; stretch and stretch some more. Before actually doing any exercises and whenever you just feel like it. Stretch when you wake up, stretch when you stand up, stretch while waiting in line, get used to making your parts move. In addition, a little stretching after your work out will help avoid any soreness in your body.

Rome was not built in a day

It is not a good idea to go for the gold when first starting out. Avoid the “push” or any marine corps mottos (like no pain no gain) and just start easy. Do not try too hard, one push up a day until it is easy, then two a day, and so on. Find the level of exercise and training that suits you; it should be easy enough for you to be comfortable, but not too convenient that it will not be much of a challenge.

Weight loss is not about being an Olympic athlete; it is about getting yourself healthy and fit. If you want to be an athlete you can work on that later, but for now, keep in mind the goal is to get healthy. Set your goal, write it down and then keep working at it until that goal is achieved, then set the next goal and work towards that, and the next goal, and the next goal, until you have your healthy and happy life.

The habit of exercise

Right now, you do not have a habit of exercising; you have the habit of just the opposite. You will always have habits, that is human nature; the idea is to have good habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle. To change your habits you must start out by doing something repeatedly until it becomes easy. One of the best ways to start exercising is just a little every day. After a while, you will be used to a little exercise every day, and then you can add a little more. In a few months, you will find yourself looking forward to your exercise time rather than dreading it, as you do now.

The greatest tool for weight loss is being honest with yourself; you must look at you with a keen eye for detail, and see what is there. To go on a weight loss plan you must be honest with yourself and stay with it. To cheat is only hurting you. In the words of Shakespeare “To thine own self be true”. Be firm with your ego and demand compliance from your inner self. To be fit, trim, and happy will take some effort at first. Stay with it, never give up, and you will find yourself becoming happier and fitter every day.

Weight Loss Program That You Make Easy

2010-07-23T11:04:00.002-05:00

Weight loss is something that you have to do individually, there is no one size fits all when it comes to a plan or program that will help you shed the pounds and get into shape. The idea of any program is to be able for you to develop a consistent approach to your weight loss as well as develop a happy attitude while exercising. To be successful with your plan you must have the two main parts, a control of your caloric intake, and a burning off the excess.

Weight loss can be easy, however it is never quick, sure you could lose a few pounds fast by not eating for a whole week but that is neither healthy nor can you keep the weight off permanently. To be successful at the goal of weight loss you have to develop a plan and a program that works for you. Then when you have your plan in place, you must go with it, and stay on it. If there is something that isn’t working you can change the plan a little, but you must continue your program, to quit is to fail.

The change in your eating habits

Now one of the keys to your weight loss plan is to get rid of the excess fat in your body, not the healthy and lean muscle tissues and body fluids. To do this you still need to eat, but you must eat healthy food, and you must eat less. Everybody loves fast food burgers, the trick is to only eat one, and only one a week. There are many other examples but this is an article and not a book.

The next part consists of you being ready both mentally and physically. Make sure to check with your doctor to make sure that there are no medical conditions that may preclude you from any part of your plan, and then be ready to get started. Set a start day, and on that day go grocery shopping and only buy the healthy good foods you know you will need. Don’t buy any clothes; feel free to start your exercise in the clothes you own. As you see your weight loss success, you will be getting fitter and those big clothes will not fit any more.

The program requires your focus and dedication,

Once you start, you must remain positive and keep the end result in focus. You did not get overweight and out of shape overnight and you will not get fit and trim overnight either. In fact, it is going to take the rest of your life to maintain the fit and trim you desire. Weight loss is not a quick fix; rather it is a change in life. It is important to keep in mind that when starting on any weight loss program, to realize that you are not just changing your weight, you are changing your life. Some people get impatient easily but if you do not give up, then the effects you desire assured.

Weight Loss Success, Make it Happen

2010-07-22T15:04:00.000-05:00

Failure is an opportunity

Weight loss is a choice that many people choose every day, and most of those people will fail. They will either lose the weight and then gain it right back, or will not lose weight fast enough and quit. The great Henry Ford said, “Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently”. So what this means is that you learned something, and now you can use that knowledge to come up with a better plan.

Weight loss is not a hard thing to do, if you approach it in a proper manner for you. You must examine why you failed your last diet, and take the steps to correct that problem, and then keep trying until you do see success. If you do not find the reasons for this failure, you are dooming your weight loss plans to failure from the start. Most people when they know they are going to fail don’t even try, they give up before starting.

You are in controlof you

Weight loss success is up to you, and is for you, by you and because of you. Realize this: You are the only person who can take control of your life. You and you alone can get yourself out of your chair and on your feet. You are the only one that can take the responsibility for the condition in which you find yourself. That’s right, you are responsible for you.

Now if you are trying diet after diet and failing over and over again then you must at some point in time realize that it is quite likely not the diets that are failing. You must be willing to change your life to succeed at weight loss. Are you trying to lose weight just for one day, and then you want it back? Not usually, most want to lose weight and keep it off. That means a change, not in just weight but in life.

We are accountable for our successes

In work and play we are accountable for our actions, this is no different when it comes to weight loss. It won’t go away by itself, and it certainly did not show up by itself. You are what makes you what you are, and if you do not like the way you are now you must change it.
It is very satisfying when a person notices your efforts and compliments you on the things you have done. However, when you are dieting and changing your life it may take a more time for people to actually notice the weight you have lost. Weight loss is not an instant gratification type of activity. Do not give up simply because no one noticed you lost a pound. You must continue your efforts; you just might surprise yourself, after a while with a roaring success.

Weight loss is a life change, and you must hold yourself accountable to your stated dieting and weight loss goals in order to achieve any lasting results. To change your life requires a degree of accountability, you must be the one to make it happen.

Weight Loss Success, Making it Happen

The weight loss mindset

Weight Loss and dieting are often approached with the wrong mindset; people just think from the start that they are going to fail. The reason for this is that they tried a diet or two in the past and since they did not become a super model or beefcake overnight that the diet did not work and they had failed because of the diet.

Something to understand about any plan is that you do not fail until you quit. If you have a setback, or you are not losing weight fast enough, just keep going with it. As long as you are working towards your weight loss and fitness goals, you are still in the game. A setback is only a learning experience and not failure. You are not a failure until you quit.

What happens to many people is that they have tried and failed many weight loss diets, and when they try the next new diet, they start with the knowledge that they will fail in this attempt as well. Unfortunately this is a self-fulfilling prophesy, because they will fail. They have gotten used to quitting and are ready to accept their fatness as their future, and would rather not make the effort to change their life.

A success is a change in life

That is what a successful weight loss program is, a change in life. Face it; if you keep doing what you are doing, you will get the same result. If you want something different you have to do something different, and so it goes. Many people quote Henry Ford when he said, “whether you think you can or you think you can’t, your right”.

If you want to lose weight and get healthy then you must make a lifelong commitment. There is no “lose a few pounds” and go back to doing what you were doing before, you simply gain the weight right back. To successfully lose the weight you must change your behavior for the rest of your life. For weight loss to be permanent, you must make a permanent change in the way you live your life.

Of course, if you think you are going to fail at the next diet you will, you are dooming yourself to failure before you even start, so why bother. Think about why none of the other diets have worked for you. Is it because you started and then quit at the first sign of difficulty? Please realize that the difficulty is a good sign, that you are making a change. The change is not measured in pound but in happiness.

You started the weight loss program because you were not happy with the self that you have, yet your inner habits do not want to change because it fears success. Do not fear successes, success is only a journey, the rewards are long lasting. If you lose the weight and get fit, you will be a lot happier, not to mention healthier.

Lose Weight with a Good Plan not Will Power

2010-07-21T08:23:00.003-05:00

Losing weight is not hard
Sure, it requires effort and takes a while but it is not hard. A reason that many people start and fail so many diets and fitness programs is because they fail to realize it is a lifetime commitment. They got fat and out of shape because they chose a set of habits that caused them to be where they are now. To lose weight and stay fit requires that one choose a different lifestyle. If you start a diet or fitness program, you stay with it for the rest of your life.

Maybe people think that they only need to diet for a few weeks and then when they have lost a few pounds they can get off the diet and go back to what they were doing before. When they do, they gain the weight right back and then declare that the diet did not work. The diet did work to help them lose weight, but their lifestyle helped them gain it back again.

When you start a diet or an exercise program, you must be prepared to stick with it for life. This means that to lose weight you will have to change your habits. You will have to exchange your sets of behaviors for new sets of behaviors, and this will cause you to live a happy, healthy, contented life.

Strike a balance
You will have to strike a new deal with yourself, to lose weight you will need to learn some new life skills, you will also want to do some of the old activities as well as your new activities. So to make it easier on you choose a exercise that is fun for you, be it team sports, hiking, mountain climbing, skiing, cycling, or whatever you choose, as long as it is something you will truly enjoy.

To lose weight and keep it off you need to grasp the concept that making a long-term healthy lifestyle change is essential. You can no longer accept that once you have started you can quit and go back to the way you used to behave.

That is why so many people fail their diets is because they think that a diet is temporary when it is not. You need a diet to lose weight, and you need a sustainable diet for keeping the pounds off once they are gone.

Sure all that fast food tastes good, but so does that good food. You must simply replace one for the other, and the fast food becomes a monthly or weekly treat not the main diet. Find a diet that is a good fit for you; ask yourself if you could eat this kind of food or in this manner for the rest of your life. Once you discover a diet and exercise plan that seems to work for you stick with it. It took a while for you to develop bad habits; it will take a while to replace those bad habits with good ones. You may make minor changes along the way, as you may find that you like jogging better than biking, or you may like your fruit in a shake instead of a bowl and so on.

If you stay with the plan, it becomes easier and easier until it is second nature and you will wonder how you ever lived life before.

You Can Lose Weight With A Plan

2010-07-20T08:41:00.000-05:00

When it comes to weight loss, most people have a very skewed view of what it takes to lose weight. Why is it that so many people end up quitting their fitness and weight-loss programs before they see positive results? The answer is that it is not immediate gratification. We have become so used to getting what we want exotically when we want it that we no longer practice long term goal setting. We figure if we cannot do it now, then it is not worth the effort.

While it would be nice to lose weight instantly it is not realistic, after all you did not gain it instantly. Now there are a lot of ads out there that make it seem that you can shed those pounds and have the body of a super model just by taking a pill, so people try them, and when they do not wake up the next day with a new body, they give up. Face it; to lose weight is going to take time and effort.

The first thing on your list of things to do should be to visit your doctor to make sure that a diet plan and exercise program will be compatible with you. Just because you read on the label or the cover that the program will make you look like a super stud overnight does not mean it is right for you. You may have some underlying problem that if you did go on this type of diet it could turn out to be quite dangerous to your health.

Now, realize a simple truth; overnight success takes a while. Look at all those football stars that seem to have appeared overnight and are making million dollar contracts. While it may be perceived that they were overnight success stories, if you dig a little deeper you will see that they had a lifetime of football. They have been playing since they were old enough to catch the ball, then played peewee league, high school and college football before they were picked for the pro league. Yet we do not see that, all we see is some person who is making a huge sum for playing a game and we call him lucky, and an overnight success. So as you can see, overnight success takes a while.

The same is going to be true for you when you begin your weight loss routine. It will take many days of effort, many weeks of maintaining your plan, and many months of sticking to it. Then one day after about a year someone will come up to you and mention how you look like you have dropped a few pounds and are looking good, then they will think your weight loss was overnight. You must be ready for the long haul of changing your life and losing weight. It will be a lifetime commitment to yourself.

To lose weight you have to make an effort to control your food intake. You will have to learn some new skills when it comes to food, like what is good for you and what is not, how many calories in that food and how much fat in that one and so on. You will decrease your caloric intake every day, and this will start you on the path to weight loss. Then you will need to become active in some way, and this will help burn off those pounds rather than add them to you. Weight loss at first may seem a daunting task but with educated effort and the realization that you are going down a different path for the rest of your life you will have healthier weight loss that will be permanent.

You can lose weight if you are willing to find a realistic plan and the stick with it for the rest of your life. You may not realize this but you did have a plan to get fat. You chose to eat too much and not exercise; you chose the get fat plan for your life. You got fat with a plan and you will remain fat for the rest of your life if you do not change your plan to that of a healthy one. You now need to choose to maintain your current plan and remain unhealthy and overweight, or to lose the weigh and get a physically fit body so that you can enjoy a happy life.

So choose your path, and follow it for the rest of your life, will you remain as you are unhealthy and miserable, or will you be healthy and happy? The choice is yours to make and yours to follow.

The Why of Why Diets Do Not Work for Everybody

2010-07-19T17:08:00.000-05:00

Most people who read articles and e-books know that there are a myriad of diet and exercise plans and programs out there. Most all will work; they will get you into shape or help you shed the pounds. The reason most do not work is that the person who starts the plan does not stay with the plan.

People who are overweight or out of shape suffer those conditions because, that is the habit they have gotten into. Then when they go on a diet or a workout plan they do it for a little while, but their habits kick back in and they revert to what they were doing before. This is what usually causes diets to fail, and exercise programs to not work. Then that person who “tried” that diet will complain, “That one doesn’t work”.

Sometimes a plan will work, and the person loses the weight, then when they are “done” with the plan, they go back to their old habits and are soon just as heavy as they were before they started. Now we must ask ourselves if we can truly break a bad habit. The answer is of course a big no, you cannot break a habit.

Every person has a number of habits, some good some bad, but we all have a number of habits, and when mixed together they determine whom we are. The number differs from person to person but we all have a set number of habits. We will always have that number of habits, and while we may be able to temporarily add a habit, we will not keep it as we have exceeded out habit level.

To change yourself you need to change your habits. Since you cannot wipe out or erase a habit, you must replace it with something else. If you have a habit of sitting around for many hours a day without any exertion at all then you need to change that habit to moving yourself so that you have a habit of doing something, rather than nothing. Once your new habit is truly engrained, you will no longer have to worry about the old habit, as it has been replaced.

So what habits do you have that cause you to be overweight? Do you spend long hours on the sofa eating junk food? Do you think that if you don’t eat all that is on your plate you are wasting food? These are some of the things you must become aware of before you can be successful at losing weight, or getting into shape.

To find a diet that works for you must be willing to change your habits. Eating right is something you will have to do the rest of your life, you cannot eat right for a few weeks and then when you see the weight coming off celebrate by eating as you used to. For when you do you will get your old habits to kick back in, and it will be even harder to get back on a diet.

Sometimes finding a diet plan seems like rocket science. The sheer number of diet plans out there can really confuse a person. So one thing to consider while planning a diet is to ask yourself the question as to whether or not you can stay on the diet indefinitely. If it is one of those plans set for a few weeks, it may not be the best diet for you. You must consider that the diet you have started is actually a lifetime commitment. You do not diet and eat right, and expect to do it over night. Life, as you know, it does not work like that.

You did not get fat in one day, and it is not going to go away in one day. You developed your fat by setting a set of habits for yourself, intentionally or not you did. As time went by you reinforced those habits, and you got fat. To get slim and fit will take some new habits to replace the old habits.

The Right Way to Lose Weight

2010-07-16T11:02:00.000-05:00

Why is it that people who want to lose weight, or get into shape or both always seem to fail? The answer is not complicated, it is because you secretly like the way you live your current life. Now the solution would be to secretly fool yourself into liking what you want to become and not what you currently are.

Before you start a diet or workout plan, you need to convince yourself that the new way of life is better than the old way of life. To do that you simply need to tell yourself that you do. Have you heard of mind control? Most likely you have, what you want is to control your own mind. Simple; the answer is yes. Easy, surprisingly the answer is also a big yes.

Now you may be wondering how to lose weight by mind control. Let me ask you first; have you been successful losing and keeping off the weight by willpower? Most likely not, otherwise you would not be reading this article. Sure, you have tried diets, eating right, and even some workouts and exercise plans, and ended up right back where you were before you started. This is because your desire to lose weight is not based on the proper mental attitude.

So how do you cultivate the proper mental attitude? Through autosuggestion, a skill you develop to control the mental world that in turn controls the physical world. First, you must write down your new attitude; such as “you like to eat healthy food” use the word “you” instead of the word “I” when talking to yourself as it will sink in much faster. Now repeat that statement to yourself as soon as you wake up, and again every time you think about it, at least 5 times a day.

Then after a week of this, set a start date for when you will start on the eating right regime, this will set your mental world to accept that your physical world is about to change, and will change it to what you have been telling yourself for the last week. Keep repeating your statement every day until your start date. Then on your start date; start.

While you are autosuggesting yourself, do some research, find out what eating right means. Find out what eating right entails; get some details and some information on what healthy eating is and how to do it. Then when your start date comes, you are ready to start and know how to start. Then every time you do not feel like eating right, you can remind yourself by reading your autosuggestion statement.

You will find that when you do this you can change your whole self permanently. You will not fail, you will change and change for the better, you will lose weight, you will eat right, and you will do whatever it is that you have set your mind to.

Get Your Self-Esteem with the Book Think and Grow Rich

2010-07-13T12:08:00.000-05:00

Are you wandering through life wondering what to do with yourself? Then you are looking at the right spot at the right time and finding the right information.
If you might suffer from low self-esteem, or feel that you are just unworthy, you can develop your self-esteem and become the person you should be. If you have ever had a dream or desire to do something with your life, know now that you can still bring that dream to reality. With the simple plan set down in the book “Think and Grow Rich” you can change your life to be what you want it to be. The key word here is the word “you”, it is what you want that matters and is what affects your life the most. You must make your life what you want, for to do anything other than that cheats the world of what you are.

The first thing you must do when you read this is to write down your dream. This means write with pencil or pen, on paper, words that convey the meaning of your dream to any who may chance to read them. Don’t worry, you are not going to publish them, you do not even have to let anyone else read them, but they will be read by you, and you must make it clear what it is that you desire from life. This is the first step towards developing your self-esteem, and towards the life, you desire. With this single action of writing your dream on paper, you have set into motion a chain of events that will come about to create your dream into reality.

The earth on which you live, you, and every other thing on this planet are the result of change, through which matter has been arranged in a certain order to fulfill a certain function. Everything has a place and a purpose, including you, you have been created to fulfill a need, and to deny that purpose is to rob all those whom you might have had an effect on.

Understand that the reality that you see day to day was created. Thoughts become reality every day, through the simple skill of repetition things that are continually considered become reality. What you see when you open your eyes, is what you created, and many of the things you see were created by other people. What you must realize is the important fact that you can change all that you see; you can change all that you desire to have an effect on. You are a creator, there is no other fact more important to you than that; you are a creator.

You can develop your self-esteem, and in turn change your world with the simple start of writing your dreams and desires on paper. As instructed in the book “Think and Grow Rich” read this out loud every day, read it while you wait for your coffee to brew, read it while you wait for your computer to boot up, read it whenever you find yourself waiting. Soon, often as quick as three days, you will begin to feel that there is a change, and you will notice that the universe is beginning to conspire to assist you. Situations will begin to change, and you will soon thereafter see some great and good changes in your life.

Think and Grow Rich with Your Imagination

2010-07-12T13:43:00.000-05:00

A person’s only limitation is their imagination. The use and development of your imagination is your personal power. If it can be imagined, it can be accomplished. If you can think it, you can do it. The only thing that stands between what you are now and what you can become, is you.

In the book “Think and Grow Rich”, the author mentions two kinds of imagination; creative and synthetic. Creative imagination is where you discover new ideas and concepts, receive hunches and inspiration, and works best when there is a burning desire that needs to be met. Synthetic imagination is where you take current ideas, concepts, and plans into new combinations. Where you use the old to make it new, the reinventing of what already exists to make it better, quite literally it is the making of a better mousetrap.

For example, there is a man you see on TV doing infomercials, who it appears, went through his kitchen and reinvented almost every appliance to make it work better. He also took some of the major appliances and made specialized pieces that would do the work in half the time with less mess. Then there is another who took exercise with free weights and using basically big rubber bands made an exercise machine that will do the same as free weights but without the danger and in less space. The synthetic imagination can be found at work everywhere if you are but willing to look.

The creative imagination is responsible for the majority of all the technical and scientific advances that have been made. The personal computer is a prime example, the machine you are using to read this article did not exist just a few years ago, and the things it can do far exceeds the things its predecessors could do. The plane, the car, the nuclear powered ship, all these things came into being with creative imagination. Something new, that solved a need and was brought into being by the burning desire of its inventor.

In the book “Think and Grow Rich”, there is a definite and workable plan for using your imagination, synthetic or creative, to achieve wealth. The whole book gives great detail about what to do to turn your desire into the physical, to turn thought into money. To make your life more of what it is that you want it to be with happiness and enjoyment rather than misery and drudgery. The imagination is one of the keys to this success; it is a main ingredient of you achieving success in your life.

You will need both the synthetic and the creative imagination to create thought into existence, to create abundance for yourself by providing the ability to fulfill the wants and needs of those who do not have the imagination nor the ambition to seek the solution for themselves. The use of the imagination gets easier with use, just like any other skill it will get stronger and with practice.

Desire is only a thought, and it will do nothing and become nothing unless you act upon it by using your imagination to turn the desire into the physical.

The Plain Sight Secret of Life

2010-07-09T09:29:00.002-05:00

The book “Think and Grow Rich” says that “Doing a thing well is never a trouble” and the famous football coach Knute Rockne said “The whole world loves a winner and has no time for a loser”. Now what do these two sayings have in common? They both are clues about having a successful life. The key that joins them together is that great truth of the human spirit, namely having a dream and not making the mistake of letting temporary defeat mean failure. Something that too many people do is let a minor setback stop them in their tracks and make them accept less than they originally wanted. If you have a minor setback, it is only because you made a minor error take the knowledge you just gained and do it again. Keep doing it again and again, learning from mistakes and making adjustments, and do it until you get it right. Once you can do it right, then do it well, and you will have the success you desire.

There are too many examples of failure all around us, and it may be a major reason that we are not currently happy with our current situation. We see all this failure and so compromise our dreams, and accept less than what we truly desire. We know we can have and be more, yet because we see the examples of failure and mediocrity all around us, we reason that we too must accept less than an excellent life. This is a great lie we have been told, it is a fallacy that we have come to believe because too many other people also believe it. We see many examples of “good enough” and “that’s the way it is” in our everyday life and so, we fall into the trap of letting our ambition die, and getting into the rut of habit, giving up the hope of something better.

There is a way, a better way, to change your life. You are reading this for a reason, and that reason is to give you this spark of hope, this gem of thought, this pearl of wisdom: That you can control your conditions in life, IF you choose to control them.

You do not have to settle for good enough, you do not have to accept temporary defeat as failure; you can rise above the current situation. I am sure you have probably read many lines of psychobabble that tells you that you do things because that was the way you were programmed as a child. While there is some truth to that reasoning, it is more true and definitely far more relevant to know that you have a choice. Yes you saw that correctly; “You Have a Choice” on what you do and how you do it. You are not condemned to a life of lack and poverty anymore than you are condemned to a life of mediocrity.

Why do you want to rise above your current situation? You must do it so that you can be seen by opportunity. If you are part of the crowd, blending in and keeping your head down opportunity will not see you. If on the other hand you are looking for opportunity, then you are standing straight with your head up, and are a bit different from the crowd and opportunity will see you and just as importantly you will see it, and will be willing to take the action to grab the opportunity and run with it.

Now you are probably wondering how do you rise above your current situation especially if you have been accepting mediocrity for years. The answer is easy but the action takes some effort. You need but do everything you do well. Especially at your place of employment, do your work well, and soon you will be recognized as a valuable above average employee, and now you are in a place where opportunity can see you. Continue to do everything you put your hand to well, and you will be amazed at all the good things that come into your life. When this begins to happen, you will regain the spark of hope and ambition. In this way, you will rise above your current situation and become what you want to become, because you can.

The Value of Something for Free

2010-07-08T09:49:00.002-05:00

It is a sad trait that we humans seem to have developed, in that we do not seem to appreciate the value of something if we acquire it without effort. When we get something for little or no effort we often discredit it, yet on the other hand, we demand that we receive what we do want for nothing in return. This is magnified with money, if we get it without effort, we do not use it wisely, yet when we do not have it, we demand that others give it to us. Does it not make you wonder why we do that? Demand that the rich give up their money that they earned and give it to those who have not earned it. When we do, those who receive it without effort spend foolishly until it is gone and then demand more.

A value or a trait is learned behavior, something that has been taught to us by others. While we can still find those who have a good work ethic, who are willing to work for what they want, it is just as easy to find those who feel that they are owed whatever they want for free. A lesson many people still need to learn is the lesson of persistence; which is self-discipline. The self-discipline that we all require is boiled down into the simple steps of decision, promptness, action and finishing what you started. If you were not taught these when you were young, then you need to learn them now. To become a successful person in this world that self-discipline is what you must have to be able to obtain your desires.

There are countless examples of people who dropped out of school and then regretted it later in life. They did not appreciate school because it was free, now when they have to go back to get a GED they find they have to pay for it, and often times those who have others pay for it drop out from that program too. For some reason these people feel they are owed a living, and do not seem to understand that there is no reality of something for nothing. You have to exchange value for value to get what you desire. You will not be paid if you don’t work, you will smell bad if you don’t bath, and conversely you will be strong if you exercise. In short, if you have no ambition you will not accomplish anything.

When you get something free, someone paid a price for it, so in theory you should appreciate it, but we don’t. In this country, our public school system is fantastic, we spent great sums to build comfortable and safe buildings, hire good teachers, and offer a variety of curriculums, as well as transportation for those who live too far away to walk. Yet the majority of those who we make attend these schools do not appreciate what a great thing they have been given because it is free. Then even those who finished find that they could have done better, and so must now pay to get the knowledge they need when they could have had it before if they would have only realized what they were being given.

This is just the most common example; there are many other examples we could have used to demonstrate the lack of respect people show for things that are given them. As you know knowledge is a great cure for ignorance, and you have just been made aware of a problem that may or may not be affecting your life. If you have been given much, then you should repay that with action on your part to put to good and productive use what you now know. It is very hard to “unlearn” something, and you have just learned that someone else has paid for what you get for free, and the gift that you received should be utilized and valued. You should value them just as if you had earned them, whether it is a free tomato from your neighbor, or a free education, we must learn to accept what we are given and put it to good use.

Think and Grow Rich with Knowledge

2010-07-07T10:23:00.000-05:00

In the book “Think and Grow Rich” talks about knowledge, that there are two kinds of knowledge; general and specialized. General knowledge is all the trivia we learn and is usually of little use to us to accumulate riches, while specialized knowledge is the stuff we need to help us to make money. Now of course specialized knowledge if misused will do nothing for us, but when applied properly will assist us greatly in our endeavors to think and grow rich.

Knowledge in itself will not bring to use our desired riches, until it is properly applied through plans of action and with a definite end in mind. The missing link in our educational systems today is the lack of use and the improper organization of that knowledge. There is a saying that “knowledge is power”, this is true only if the knowledge is applied to practical use, and organized into a definite plan. Without those key parts knowledge becomes useless, and when misused becomes dangerous.

The accumulation of riches calls for the power of knowledge, but that knowledge does not have to be in the possession of the one who wants to use it. So comes the value of the specialist. Let us say that a small business owner knows how to fix and maintain vehicles, and has a few others that also have this skill that work for him as mechanics, yet this business owner does not know about accounting. For him to operate a successful business he has to be able to keep track of expenses and profit, payroll and parts, overhead and schedules, and a variety of many other tasks that must be accomplished so that he or she can think and grow rich. So that business owner is faced with a choice, learn those things and do them, in which case there will never be free time or even sleep for that matter, or find someone with that specialized knowledge.

Finding someone with the knowledge you need is called buying knowledge, many a consultant runs an independent company selling the specialized knowledge that they have. In this manner, you need not spend the rest of your life taking correspondent courses or night classes; you can simply buy the knowledge you need when you need it. A case in point a huge majority of us uses a company to help us file our taxes every year, rather than doing it ourselves, we seek someone with the specialized knowledge and pay them to use their knowledge. You can do the same thing, acquire specialized knowledge and let it be known that you have it, and people will seek you out so that they may avail themselves of your knowledge.

This is how one can think and grow rich; having and using specialized knowledge will cause you to increase in value to a variety of other people. This in turn will cause you to be able to accumulate riches. If you plan to take some courses, or going back to school, first determine what knowledge, you need to gain and how you are going to use it. You would not want to learn air conditioner repair if you are going to be applying for a nursing career. Seek only the knowledge you need for yourself, later when you need other knowledge you can buy the use of it from another who has it, just as you hire an electrician to fix the wiring in your house, so will that electrician someday have to hire someone else when he needs his taxes done. This exchange of knowledge is what the new commerce is all about. Gone are the days when a company could hire a staff of people who might be called upon a few times a year for their knowledge. Now when that company needs that knowledge, they hire a consultant for a short period of time to solve their immediate problem. Then when that problem is resolved, they go back to what they are in business to do.

Here is where you can get your riches, by having the specialized knowledge that others need. Not everyone needs your knowledge all the time, but if enough people need your knowledge some of the time, you will be able to stay quite busy and well compensated.

Your Destiny is to Think and Grow Rich

2010-07-06T10:12:00.002-05:00

Many philosophers have stated that we are the masters of our own destiny, yet have failed to tell us why or how. The book “Think and Grow Rich” explains that we may be the master of our earthly status, that we can control our self and our environment because we have the power to influence our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is what connects us to the infinite intelligence, the universe, and so through it we may bring about things and events of our choosing.

The main practice to influence our subconscious mind is the skill known as autosuggestion, where we cause our thinking to transform our desire into the physical. As with any new skill, it may seem weird or difficult at first, but with a little persistence, it will soon develop into a skill, you will use the rest of your life to control your fate, to steer your destiny, and turn your thoughts into things.

The book “Think and Grow Rich” while written many years ago, holds more truth that is more pertinent today than when it was written. In the book, the instructions for autosuggestion are given in many different ways, so that at least one of them will stick to you and influence your life in the positive manner that was intended. For the sake of the article the technique will be condensed so you can put it to immediate use, of course you can always find more detailed instructions when you read the book Think and Grow Rich.

The first step is you must know what you want, with a blank piece of paper begin to write all your desires, all of them, every dream you ever had, every intention to do something, every object you ever wanted. Take all day, it should take a few hours at least, as the many items that you will put on it should cover every aspect of your life so far, have fun with memory lane, and put down every whim you ever had. Now the next step may seem like a bit of a struggle after that last little exercise, but it is essential. Go through your paper with the eyes of a detective looking for clues; see what words you put on that paper that may fit together, and on a separate sheet of paper write down the groups you can find. Here comes the hard part, put the two pieces of paper aside, go eat your dinner and go to bed early, let yourself sleep on it and you can complete the rest in the morning.

After your morning routine sit down with your two pieces of paper, again see what words go together and combine them, until finally near the bottom of the second sheet you have almost a sentence of the combined words. One person I know told me how he did this and combined fire fighter with fighter pilot into fire fighter pilot. He now flies a rather large helicopter that scoops water from lakes and dumps it on forest fires, and he is happy with what he does for a living. You will find your sentence and when you have it, you can begin to control your destiny to shape up into the way you want it to.

Now take your sentence, and write it on a clean piece of paper and form it into an action statement, some call them mission statements, write it in the present tense rather than in the future tense. Such as “I am happy and proud to serve my community as a (insert your desire) through which I have earned the money I needed to own my own (insert your desire) and enjoy a life of (insert your desire). Now put this paper where you will see it every day, I recommend the coffee pot, but that is just me, maybe you will like it on the bathroom mirror, or on the refrigerator. Then every time you see it, read it out loud, even when you have it memorized keep reading it out loud, making sure you add some feeling to it, until one day you wake up, and when you read your statement, you suddenly realize that it has come true. This may have taken a month, it may have taken a year, but suddenly you are what you said you are.

You Can Think and Grow Rich

2010-07-05T09:07:00.002-05:00

How to Win the Lottery

First let us get something cleared up, the universe is the provider of all things, some people call this god, the Great Spirit, the higher power, and so forth. For this article, we will call it the universe. Now the universe will give you everything you ask for, and you ask for things by thinking about them and saying words concerning them and then your subconscious will accept this as you desire and will transmit this to the universe that will then provide the stated desire.

One thing you should understand is that the universe has an ironic sense of humor; it will give you exactly what you ask for, and no less. For today’s lesson, we will use the lottery as the example. Without further ado, how many times have you prayed and wished to win the lottery? I am willing to bet you have already won, and don’t realize it. Most states and regions have a lottery system that when you buy a ticket there are levels that you can win, for example if you match two you get a free ticket, and if you match three you get like five bucks, and so on. Have you matched two or three? If so then you have won the lottery, your prayer was answered and your wish granted, but you did not realize it. So you see you did win the lottery, yet you were not happy.

The universe does what it does to make us happy, it likes the feeling of happy and will do whatever it must do to grant your desires in an effort to make you happy. If you receive something and it makes you happy then you should offer gratitude to the universe to ensure that you continue to receive more things that make you happy. When you matched three numbers and got your five bucks, did you thank the universe for making you happy? Probably not, if fact you were most likely feeling a little disappointed. So you confused the universe and caused it to no longer want to help you win the lottery as it didn’t make you happy.

Well what does this have to do with think and grow rich? It has a lot to compare to, in that you have to think, and think in the correct manner to grow rich. Sure, there are many other ways to get rich besides the lottery so you must accept the fact that now you need to find a different way to grow rich as the universe will no longer help you to win the lottery. I hear you ask the question; “so how do I think correctly?” The answer is that you must desire, and then use words to convince your subconscious to ask for the thing, and then be persistent in your behavior. The whole of the matter can be found in the book “Think and Grow Rich” and you can find that by looking for the link that comes with this article. (Hint; click the title of this article)

So to sum up this article, using the book “Think and Grow Rich” we will finish with a bit of an admonition. Don’t be a skeptic about this, just do it. Skepticism is a characteristic of all humans, but if you follow the instructions with faith, soon your skepticism will be replaced with belief as you prove repeatedly that you can do and be whatever you desire. That you can, you can.
Remember the famous words “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul”

Think and Grow Rich on Self Esteem

2010-07-01T10:20:00.002-05:00

How does the book “Think and Grow Rich” help us to develop our self-esteem? One thing we must understand is that we are creatures that have a large range of emotions. Emotions are one of the major ingredients that influence our lives; these feelings are the critical piece of the puzzle that causes us to do what we do. A little realized fact is that the majority of us believe that we are our emotions, when the truth is that we have emotions. For those of us who suffer from low self-esteem we allow our emotions to control us instead of controlling our emotions. One of those emotions is fear, fear that we might; might be rejected, might be ridiculed, might be laughed at, might be this, and might be that. All those might’s are negative in feeling as well as result, and the biggest fear is that we might get our feelings hurt. Again, this is where we think we are emotions and if they get hurt then we might suffer unbearable agony. Whereas if we realize that we only have emotions, then there can be no detrimental suffering if one can but simply control their emotions.

The book “Think and Grow Rich” tells us that we must use our emotions, not let our emotions use us. To control and direct our future we must learn to use our emotions, combined with words to cause our subconscious to direct the universe to provide our desires. If you have been reading any of my articles, you will have discovered some of the secrets for a rich and powerful life. One of the greatest pieces of information is that our conscious mind can control the subconscious mind, and in turn, the subconscious controls our life. Those of us who use our conscious mind in this manner are able to think and grow rich.

The one habit that the book “Think and Grow Rich” continually suggests is the practice of autosuggestion. Where you write down on a paper your dreams and goals, and then a few times daily read it aloud. This will influence your subconscious mind to cause your desires to become your reality. This habit of autosuggestion must be used with emotion to work. To read the words deadpan, without any emotion will do nothing except maybe exercise your reading skill. To cause the desired effect you must use emotion, you must add emotion to your words. Here is where you must realize that emotions are yours to control; they do not control you.

This secret to developing your self-esteem is simple yet at the same time as it is a different way of thinking it may take a while for you to master your emotions as you so far have allowed them to master you. You must at every chance remember that you control your emotions, you are in charge of you, and you will decide what is best, not some emotional bad feeling. This concept of asserting control over yourself, is the first step of getting your self-esteem back, and for it to work for you, you must be persistent. Once you try it, a few times you will see some positive effects, almost overnight you will see change in your daily routine. You will feel better, you will walk taller, you will talk with a firmer voice, you will experience a little spark of joy, you will start to value your self-esteem for what you are becoming, and that is simply a better and happier you.

Be Blessed.

Using Think and Grow Rich to Gain Self Esteem

2010-06-30T09:27:00.000-05:00

There is a growing concern among many younger people today that they do not have the skills to approach life and be successful. These young adults seem to suffer collectively from a lack of self-esteem. We have to ask why a whole generation seems to be afraid of their own future. We need to understand that a lack of self-esteem is easily corrected by those who desire to; there is a simple and effective cure for low self-esteem.

In the book Think and Grow Rich there is a simple and effective method of achieving your desires, and the author Napoleon Hill named it “autosuggestion” since until that time it had not been named. Today some of us will recognize the technique as something different but the principle remains the same and it works. Using autosuggestion will indeed cause you to find self-esteem and self-confidence, and once you master this technique there is no limit to what you can be or do.

Briefly, there are three parts to your mind, the conscious which uses the senses to interpret information, to control the satisfaction of basic needs, and to think. Then there is the unconscious mind that controls the automatic functions such as blood flow and breathing. Lastly, there is the subconscious mind that is the controller of habits, beliefs, and behavior as well as the connection to the universal mind. The universal mind, also known as the higher power, is the provider of all things, it will give you everything you ask for, and the subconscious mind is what does the asking. It is the subconscious mind that can and does control your destiny, and it is the job of the conscious mind to direct the subconscious, yet here is where most of us fail.

However, we can teach our subconscious to behave differently through the process called autosuggestion. With simple actions taken by our conscious mind, we can program our subconscious to believe anything. Realize that it is what the subconscious believes that brings into our lives those physical things that correspond with those beliefs. Through years of programming we have been taught, and have directed our subconscious to believe that we are limited. Some of us were taught that life is hard and you don’t always get what you want, others were taught that you are disadvantaged for some reason and so would never achieve greatness or success. These beliefs were accepted by the subconscious and so it communicates with the universal and it provides what you believe and so you remain in poverty, working to just barely get by, as you “know” life is hard.

Here is where you have to change what your subconscious believes. You have to correct your way of thinking, and it is remarkably easy with autosuggestion. In the book Think and Grow Rich there is a simple and effective method listed, and for brevity sake, it will be paraphrased here. First, determine what exactly it is that you desire, you must be specific and detailed. The book Think and Grow Rich gives you many reasons why, but we are being brief for this article. Secondly, you must write it down on paper, do not skimp on details and do not be afraid of expending ink. Third, promise yourself that you will read it out-loud every day, and then do so. Fourth, think about what you have written, at first do so with every meal, then as it will become a habit and you may think about your paper and its content even more frequently. Fifth, act upon what you have written, any action will do as long as it is relevant to your desire.

You will see results after only a week, you will feel the effects after only two days, this will work amazingly quickly for your benefit, and it is so easy you will wonder why you haven’t been doing this your whole life. Do not get angry for not having been shown this technique before, just understand that the universal provides to you what you desire only when you are ready to receive it, and until now, you were simply not ready. Now you are, you have found this information and it is time to use it.

Think and Grow Rich, The Self Esteem Formula

2010-06-29T10:28:00.002-05:00

There is a way to develop self-esteem that is a bit different from the mainstream methods. The book Think and Grow Rich calls this method the law of autosuggestion. In short we are what we are due to what we do every day, we are what we do, and we do what we are, ever strengthening the behavior through practice and repetition. The universe will provide us with all we want and ask for, rather negative or positive; you will receive misery just as easily as you receive happiness, depending on how you think.

It may seem a bit hard to comprehend, that you can receive poverty as easily as you can receive prosperity through the thoughts you keep, this statement is as true as one plus one equals two. What you think, is what you receive, and once you begin to get what you think, your thoughts are reinforced to confirm that what you think is true, and so you continue to think the same way and continue to receive the same thing. Whether you are receiving riches or misery, happiness or poverty, it is because of what you think. All this talking leads us to the underlying problem of self-esteem, or the lack of it.

You have to change the thoughts before you can change the way you think, you have to change the way you think in order to change your life, and the best way to change your thoughts is through autosuggestion. You may have discovered that your greatest weakness is a lack of self-confidence, and with this discovery, you desire a cure, a way to change your low self-esteem into overcoming self-confidence. Well, the book Think and Grow Rich offers you the solution to your problem, a formula to change your thoughts. Just like mathematical formulas are use to solve math problems, so to this formula is used to change your thoughts.

The book Think and Grow Rich informs us that you must resolve to your self to throw off the influences of your current environment and to build your life to be the way you want it. To do this you will need to follow the following formula until you have changed the way you think. Starting now, you will both write down the following statements and then tape them to your bathroom mirror, or your coffee pot, wherever you will see it first thing every day. You could copy and paste them to a document, and save it to your computer and use it as your desktop or as a screen saver, or any method you can think to use so that you see this every day. Then when you see it, you will read it aloud and with meaning, at least twice every morning, then again at lunch, then again at dinner, and once more before bedtime. In this manner, you will be using the power of autosuggestion and after a short time, you will have it memorized, and shortly after that, your subconscious will accept it as truth. Then just as surely as the sun rises every day, you will see a change in yourself and in your life, and an improvement of your circumstances. The formula works, so do it now, and with only a few repetitions you will see results, and with a whole week of this, you will experience positive feelings and better self-confidence.

First, I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life, therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to take such action.

Second, I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality. Therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear picture.

Third, I know through the principle of outo-suggestion any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seed expression through some practical means of attaining the object because of it, therefore, I will devote tem minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.

Fourth, I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life and I will never stop trying until I have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

Fifth, I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction that does not benefit all whom it affects I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity. I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me because I will believe in them and myself.

Last, I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud every day, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become self-reliant and a successful person.

Now is the time to act, so get busy and write the formula down, or print it, and put it where you will see and use it. Remember that all impulses of thought have a tendency to clothe themselves in their physical equivalent.

How to Have Faith

2010-06-28T10:38:00.001-05:00

Faith is the strange place between knowing and believing. The book h Think and Grow Rich states; “Faith is the eternal elixir which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought”. The book continues to explain: Every person is what he or she is because of the dominating thoughts that one permits to occupy their mind. Thoughts, which a person deliberately places in his or her own mind, and encourages with sympathy and with which he or she mixes only one or more of the emotions constitute the motivating forces, which direct and control their every movement, act and deed.

Thought which when mixed with any of the feelings of emotions, constitute a magnetic force, which attracts from the vibrations of the ether other similar or related thoughts. This is the basis for faith, for if you have faith then you can be or do anything. There are many religious organizations that tell you to have faith, yet none of them teaches you how to develop and use faith. The book Think and Grow Rich does, it tells you both how to develop faith, and how to use it for your enrichment, and is the basis of this little article.

An interesting fact that you may already know is that if something is repeated enough people begin to believe it as the truth. You can use that same principle to develop your faith. In past articles, you have been asked to write down your goals and dreams, and if you have done so, you have taken the largest step to their accomplishment and realization. To have faith is to read them aloud every day, in so doing so become to vibrate what you read and convince your subconscious that what you have read is the truth, and so it makes that your reality.

Now you must understand that the universe is a great warehouse that holds the ether, this in turn is what is made into your reality by your thoughts. The universe holds destructive vibrations just as well as creative ones, what you bring to yourself is what you allow your dominating thoughts to be. Here is where faith comes in, this is the part where you can use faith to control your thoughts and therefore your destiny and your fortune. Now pay close attention to the next paragraphs as they describe how to get faith and how to use it for your own advantage.

As you know, when developing a skill you get better with repetition and practice, you cannot start out as an expert, you may only ever start at the beginning and work your way to expert. To have faith is to have your conscious mind convince your subconscious that what you are saying is the truth and that in turn causes the subconscious to connect to the higher power, and this in turn causes your thought to become reality. A simple system yet so misunderstood underused and misused. Faith is where you have to take an action without any proof, where you start and continue to do something, without any visible evidence or support. As stated before faith is that place between knowing and believing, and you must be persistent in its use to be successful. Here then is how you use faith: You have a piece of paper that you have written your goals and dreams on; you must use that to “fool” yourself into believing it is the truth. You do that by constantly reading that list, by constantly saying it, by constantly thinking of it. Through this repetition, your subconscious will begin to accept it as truth and so in turn will cause it to become your reality.

This little “trick” is called faith, for when you believe something no proof is needed to accept it as truth, and when you know something, it is because you can prove it. Faith cannot be proven, and has no proof, for it is a technique, a technique that you can use to create belief and knowledge, it is the stepping-stone to go from nothing to something. As you become proficient at using faith you will see more rapid results, after all it is a measure of your faith that produces success. You must now use your new knowledge, apply this faith to your life, and you will see miracles.

Believing That You Can Think and Grow Rich

2010-06-24T09:37:00.000-05:00

The book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill states “no more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty”. Think about that for a minute, just know that it is possible for every person to have what they think they deserve, that with the same amount of effort one could be on verge of starvation or wealthy.

What is the main difference between any two people? The answer is belief, no two people in this entire world believe in things the exact same way as another. While there is what we call accepted norms that we all try to teach our young and each other, usually based on our own belief about how things are, and how they are done. The lesson that has been neglected, that we have not been taught and have not taught, is that what we believe is possible, is. That our desire to do something is only limited by our own belief in what we can do.

If we desire something and we find a way to get it, we will repeat the behavior, when we meet with partial success, rather than modifying our approach, we simply do the same thing again. It is like the story of the two children, when one wanted something if it was not immediately provided he would lie down on the floor, kick, and scream until he was either punished or got the thing. Then there was the other child who wanted the same thing and rather than demand it be provided to him immediately would make a plan, go and earn some money and then buy it for himself. Both had a belief about how to satisfy their desire, and in practice, one would be far more successful than the other at achieving the result of obtaining the things they wanted. Can you guess which one?

One had been taught that life is hard and you don’t always get what you want, the other had been taught that you get what you want when you are ready for it. Both believed that they could indeed get things, one was a bit hit and miss the other the thing was guaranteed, just took a while longer. Therefore, it is with us today, you need to ask yourself what is it that you believe you can do. For it is this belief that drives your life that causes everything you have in life to be there. There are countless stories of people in adversity who achieve great things, blind people who become great teachers, deaf people who become great musicians, people with physical handicaps who accomplish amazing feats in sports, and so on and on, if you but look you can find these examples easily. Conversely, you can find similarly handicapped people who accomplish nothing, and never will. The difference is what they have been taught.
You can find the exact same thing with non-handicapped people; there are great achievers who have gone to great wealth, and people who live on the street. Again, the difference is only what they believe they can do, no great mystery, just belief. It is impossible for a man to go to the moon, but if you equip that man with a space suit and a space ship, now that man can go to the moon. If you can’t see to accomplish something by the direct route, such as a man jumping high enough to land on the moon, then come up with a solution to the problem and invent the spaceship. Where there is a will, there is a way.

You need to examine your beliefs, and in the words of Henry Ford; “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right”. Change your belief to be; There is no such thing as impossible, and accept no such reality as failure.

Set your mind on what you desire, then act upon it with definiteness of purpose, and your dreams can come true, you will have your happiness. This world needs practical dreamers who will put their dreams into action.

Tolerance is needed more than ever, if you are afraid of new ideas and methods then your ideas are doomed from the start.

You must start now, ignore the voice of fear, for the greatest opportunity of your life is knocking, now is the time to use Think and Grow Rich to your advantage and your happiness. So go and have your dream and use your desire to make it a reality, the world will thank you.

The six Steps to Make Money with Think and Grow Rich So what are you waiting for? Click Here!

In the book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill the author lays out a definite program for converting desire into its financial equivalent. A definite way to turn thought into money. In many of the other articles, that I have written and in the book itself, it is mentioned many times about having a desire and with this desire, you can indeed think and grow rich.

So the whole point of this think and grow rich thing is to acquire wealth, and most of us associate wealth with money. We all want to have riches, to be wealthy and to be able to easily have whatever we want when we want it. Somehow, that reality seems to elude us, seemingly to stay just on the horizon, we can think we see it, but it never gets closer. When Napoleon Hill wrote the book Think and Grow Rich he gave to all of us who can read the way to achieve the success we dream of and with that achievement also acquire the riches that go with it.

The first thing you must do is think of an amount, be specific and down to the last penny, it is not good enough to say you just want lots of money, you must have a definite and clear amount in mind.

Second, determine to yourself what you intend to give in return for the money, be it work, service, effort, toil, exertion, labor, or action. Remember that there no such thing as something for nothing.

Third, set a definite date when you intend to possess that amount. Set a reasonable date, a gazillion bucks tomorrow probably will not happen, but a gazillion bucks in ten years is very doable.

Forth, create a definite plan to carry out and achieve your desire. Listen to this carefully, start on it now, and begin to take action now, ready or not, start this very moment.

Fifth, write out a clear and concise statement, list the amount of money you desire, the time limit, what you will give in return, and describe the basic plan through which you will accumulate your riches.

Sixth, read your written statement out loud every day, once in the morning before you do any other thing, and once again in the evening before you go to bed. When you read it, also imagine with pictures in your head of the amount in your bank account, or cash laying on your table, or a check with your name on it, or however you desire to see it. You must create and visualize your amount of riches, this part is especially important and it is what will help your burning desire drive you towards your achievement of riches.

There you have it, the great secret, the magic formula, the way to wealth, how to think and grow rich. Try it with a small amount at first, and once that has been achieved, do it again for a larger amount. Once you see that this works you will be able to think and grow rich at will.
