Are You a Good Friend?

By Dr Robert Anthony


"She became for me an island of light, fun, wisdom where I could run with my discoveries and torments and hopes at any time of day and find welcome." - May Sarton

Friendship is a balm during difficult times and an added joy in times of celebration. If you are lucky enough to have people in your life who have known you for many years, then you realize that there is a special kind of kinship in being known throughout your life. If your friends know you well, they can validate how you have changed and how, after all these years, you haven't. If you have
permission in your friendships, they can remind you of your hidden talents and encourage you to take the chances you shy away from.

Having a good friend is also about being one. A balanced friendship is seldom 50/50 all the time. Sometimes one person needs more than another for a while and then it switches around.  However, a healthy friendship is not about one person continually being dependent on another.  As you find yourself higher on the Levels of Awareness you may find that your friendships change. The people you were close to in the Victim/Struggle Level are seldom the same
people you want to hang out with when you are in Deliberate Creation.

Notice today how you are a good friend. Are there ways that you could be an even better friend? That might be an interesting conversation to share with a friend you care about.

"There's a special kind of freedom friends enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves." - Unknown

There are two ways of being rich...

"There are two ways of being rich. One is to have all you want, the other is to be satisfied with what you have." - Unknown

How easy is it for you to really feel satisfied?  Look around you right now and notice your surroundings. Do you like what you see or do you see what you don't like?

How do you feel about yourself right now? Can you truly appreciate yourself today, still knowing there may be aspects you would like to improve?

The higher you live on the Levels of Awareness, the more likely you are to feel satisfied. That's true because the more aware and capable of making good choices you are, the less you are caught in struggle.  The higher on the Levels of Awareness you live, the richer you are likely to feel, not only in terms of finances, but also in terms of personal satisfaction.

Being satisfied is an inside job. No amount of money or material good can give you the inner feeling of satisfaction. We are not taught to be satisfied.  We are taught and trained by the media to want more.

Today don't chase satisfaction. Sit still for a moment and let it bubble up from inside you, like an underground stream.

The Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence (Revised)

Would You Ever Do This?

By Dr Robert Anthony

We would never start out for a long drive without gas in the car or leave our pets without food while we are gone for several days. And yet I find many people who forget to eat or take food with them if they are going to be gone for several hours.  Both our cars and our pets need nutrition and fuel everyday.  So do our bodies.

Many cars require premium gas. It is easy to forget, but your body also works better on premium fuel. By premium fuel I simply mean whole grains, vegetables, fruit and lean meats. The energy and vibration of your body will rise considerably by feeding it well.

Two other essential factors about the basics of human self-care are
exercise and rest. Just being reasonably active by moving your body
with walking, gardening or playing will increase your current
health and add to your longevity.  Working out at the gym or
playing a sport is even better, if not overdone. Any movement
counts and adds to your health. Current studies show that even ten
minutes of walking is beneficial.

Rest and sleep are the third leg of the stool of balancing your
basic health. In this fast-paced society it is easy to keep going
by drinking caffeine when twenty minutes of rest is what your body
is craving.

When you are stressed or going through change you will fare far
better if you return to the basics of self care; good food,
adequate exercise, deep sleep and daily rest.

"How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward."
- Spanish proverb

Beyond Positive Thinking: A No-Nonsense Formula for Getting the Results You Want

There Is No Spoon….

“Don’t try to bend the spoon. That is impossible. In stead, try to realise the truth … there is no spoon.” (The Matrix)

The Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about.  Your thoughts are your subjective reality. Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest. In subjective reality, you are consciousness itself, the container in which the simulation of reality is run. So in subjective reality, everything is indeed real.  You’re real.  I’m real.  The physical universe is real.  Everything you experience is a manifestation of thought.  “Your mind makes it real.” (Morpheus – The Matrix)

Attracting abundance is knowledge. As any other skill people have, like driving a car, learning a new language … manifesting is no different. How good you are at it, depends on how much you practice it.

Grasping a better understanding of how the "law of attraction" works is the first step in bringing abundance into your life: There is only one subjective reality, and it’s yours. It’s important to correctly define the you in subjective reality.  You are not your physical body. No-one else has a subjective reality because they are all in your subjective reality. You can therefore not have a conflicting reality with someone else, as that someone is only part of your reality. Everything around you is manifested by you; your house, your car, even your body and your health. Nothing has any power in your reality except thought itself.

So, if thought created your reality at the moment, thought can change it. Have you ever thought about what you don’t want just to see it happen to you? Have you ever worried about something and saw what you worried about happen? 

So how do you change your reality? How do you create thoughts that will manifest? Basically, just wanting something isn't going to bring that to us when we continue to obsess on the not having of that something. All we will experience is "not having" and will be ultimately blocking our true desires. You have to focus on what you want and not on what you don’t want, and you need to experience it in your imagination as being real and not just a fantasy. The more energy and certainty you put into a thought, the more dominant it becomes. You might find that you have conflicting thoughts. If that happens, you have to change your beliefs in that area. As soon as a thought corresponds to a belief you hold, that thought will manifest effortlessly. So how do you change a belief? Imagination comes in handy again. You imagine the opposite of the belief that you hold as real, and you imagine the belief you hold as no longer real. You do this for 21 days and your mind will accept it as truth.

If you don’t believe your thoughts can change your reality, then they won’t. If you don’t know what you believe, then you manifest uncertainty. Your reality will appear uncertain and confusing.

Those people who are efficient in attracting have trained their minds to focus on their desires. They have learned it so well that they often don't even realize how they do it. Abundance comes to them naturally.

To change your reality, assume responsibility for the reality you have created. Then begin creating the reality you truly want by thinking consciously about what you want (and feel good about it) and stop thinking about what you don’t want. You will know you are doing it right by your feelings. If you feel bad, you are thinking about something you don’t want. You then just need to stop thinking about what you don’t want, and start thinking about what you do want, changing your feelings, and your thoughts will manifest.

Break free from the prison … of your mind.

You are The One ….

Three Things you Must Know ABout Change

By Dr Robert Anthony

Have you noticed how upset we get because things change?  As human beings we act like life should always be predictable.  And yet we know it isn't.  One of the reasons we get jarred by change is because we are creatures of habit. Another is that we are emotional human beings. As logical as we can be at times, it's the feelings associated with change that we tend to overlook. And it is these feelings that create the upsets and/or disorientation we sometimes feel during change.

In addition, there are three other major factors that enter into
the way we deal with change. The first is Personality Filter, the
second is where we are on the Levels of Awareness and the third is
whether or not we have consciously chosen the change we are
experiencing.

How do you generally react to change? On the spectrum of actively
seeking change to actively avoiding it, where do you fall? How do
you manage your feelings about change, especially if the change is
not one you chose?

Today notice how much of life is in the process of change and be
grateful for the ever-unfolding life that it represents.

The Secret To Success is to Master Yourself

By Hannah du Plessis

“Many people have the ambition to succeed; they may even have special aptitude for their job. And yet they do not move ahead. Why? Perhaps they think that since they can master the job, there is no need to master themselves.” - John Stevenson

Statistically, most self-help and how-to books stay unopened on the shelf, or read once and then forgotten. 

The reason for this is that most people are just not disciplined enough to study these books bit by bit or one section at a time and master it before moving onto the next level. 

That is why musicians are among the most successful because they have to learn one skill at a time and then practice it until they master it before going on to the next skill. 

That is also why schools and universities are so effective because they also teach skills bit by bit until their students master it.

What is the secret to success? 

1.    Mastering different skills

2.    Practicing them often

3.    Try and fail until you succeed 

You can only do this if you are self-disciplined.

If you have mastered yourself.

Bit by bit

Little by little

Piece by piece

Those who are successful have learned to master themselves.

So, what are you going to do today? Are you going to make some more excuses, or are you going to knuckle down and master yourself so you can do what it takes?

Daily inspiration may help you.

A boost in self-confidence may help you.

But in the end, it is up to you.

Be all you can be! 

To Your Success!

Hannah

“Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.” - Liane Cordes 

“Questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential.” - Anthony Robbins

Very few people can claim that they have achieved all that they are capable of. Do you have a nagging feeling that you could do much, much more with your life and career?

What is that is stopping you right now from making a much greater contribution to society? What is that is preventing you from fulfilling your potential?

1. You do not have enough belief in yourself. 

All successful people have enormous self-belief. This does not mean that they are arrogant, narcissistic or complacent -- on the contrary, they are self critical and push themselves hard because they know that they can achieve more.

What is it that is special about you?

2. You do not measure yourself against written goals. 

It is hard to make progress if you have no clear goals for your life. Set yourself targets in the areas that are important to you. You can be flexible and adjust how you move forward but you must keep moving.

Do you have written objectives that you track regularly?

3. You are too comfortable where you are. 

It is easy and natural to settle into a rut. High achievers take risks. They move out of their comfort zones.

Where are you right now -- inside your comfort zone or taking risks?

4. You are lazy. 

Either that or you waste a lot of time every day on low value activities.  If you have clear goals but are not making progress towards them, look at your activity level. Persistence pays dividends.

How high is your work rate?

5. You are not mixing with high achievers. 

Let’s face it -- your friends and family are really nice people but they are not challenging you to achieve more. Spend more time with high flyers and positive thinkers who understand ambition and achievement. They will encourage you and give you the direct advice you need.

How much time are you spending with really successful people?

What Do You Need To Release?

By Dr Robert Anthony

"'Soul' is not a thing, but a quality or dimension of experiencing
life and ourselves. It has to do with depth, value, relatedness,
heart and personal substance." - Thomas Moore

Part of living a deeper, richer life is honoring what is important
to you. You can do this through ritual and celebration. You may be
part of a group or religion or culture that still focuses on
rituals and rites of passage. But, for many, there is not much
formal ritual remaining in their lives.

But, that's OK, you can make your own ritual. Let's take your
participation in this program as an example. Design ways to honor
and acknowledge the shifts and changes you experience as you
journey through the course.

Let's look at some possibilities.

1. Write down what you have decided to release in your life, for
example, your limiting beliefs and stories, and then burn the paper
in the fireplace. Light some candles and make a declaration of
freedom from limitation out loud. You can do this anytime you want
to let go of something in your life.

2. Celebrate the completion of your Follow-up Items by honoring at
least one major insight you had through doing them. You can do this
when you complete one Item or by each DVD or by each month - you
decide how often you want to celebrate. Use fine food, dress,
decorations, candles, etc. to enhance the special nature of the
occasion.

3. Make a commitment in writing to yourself - a contract - for what
you are focusing on in Follow-up. If you decide you no longer want
to fulfill the contract, have a ceremony to dissolve the contract -
don't just blow it off.

4. Write a mission statement for yourself on how you choose to live
your life. Add color and pictures if you like. Frame and display it
where you can see it everyday.

5. Find a special totem to keep in your pocket or on your desk to
remind you of what you value most.

We encourage you to make a big deal out of the little things in
your life - for yourself and your family - create traditions that
honor you and yours simply for being the magnificent people that
you are.

What can you do today to celebrate your life?

What it Takes to Be a Winner

By Hannah du Plessis

“If you continue to do what you’ve always done, you will continue to get what you’ve always got!” – Yogi Berra

It is easy to be a loser. All you have to do after you failed at something is to continue doing the same thing and being the same way. It really is that simple. Most people are scared of the challenges that being successful will bring, or they just lack the willpower to do what it takes to be successful. The realization that they are going to fail again creates anxiety and emotional unrest which most people don’t like and they return quickly to the familiar world of excuses and justifications.

Unless the cycle of thought patterns is broken in those who fail, they will experience a lower quality of life that lacks the good things in life that comes with success. The truth is: nobody is born a success, and nobody is born a failure. Losers learn from the mainstream: Negative thoughts and negative actions. Winners learn from other winners, change their thoughts accordingly, and do their best to copy their actions.

Losers say: “Don’t dream! Dreaming is impractical. Only fools dream. We are in reality! One should stay in the real world!” Winners, on the other hand, dream and dream big. The great King Solomon said over 3000 years ago …. “Unless people dream they perish.”  Did he mean dream when you sleep? No! He meant one should have a firm goal or objective to achieve.  

If we dream and do not believe that we will accomplish our dreams, the dream becomes just an idle wish, and will never be attained. On the other hand if we remember and do what Napoleon Hill said, we will never fail. He said: "Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit."

The following is an example of someone who didn’t quit. See how many times he “failed.”

PORTRAIT OF AN ACHIEVER – Abraham Lincoln

• 1831 - FAILED IN BUSINESS, BANKRUPTCY
• 1832 - DEFEATED FOR LEGISLATURE
• 1834 - FAILED IN BUSINESS, BANKRUPTCY
• 1835 - FIANCE DIES
• 1836 - NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
• 1838 - DEFEATED FOR U.S. CONGRESS
• 1846 - DEFEATED AGAIN FOR U.S. CONGRESS
• 1848 - DEFEATED ONCE AGAIN FOR U.S. CONGRESS
• 1855 - DEFEATED FOR U.S. SENATE
• 1856 - DEFEATED FOR U.S. VICE PRESIDENCY
• 1858 - DEFEATED AGAIN FOR U.S. SENATE
• 1860 - ELECTED 16TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

From the above it is clear that you can’t fail unless you quit.

The great Gandhi taught: “If one advances toward a specified objective or goal, and does not lose ‘belief” in its attainment; even though they may start their journey without the necessary tools or knowledge of how to get there; if they keep their faith and focus they shall most assuredly obtain the required tools and knowledge along the way.”

Let’s look at the differences between winners and losers:

A winner says: “Let’s find out”                      

A loser says: “nobody knows”

                                                                         

When a winner makes a mistake, he says: “I was wrong.”    

When a loser makes a mistake he says: “It wasn’t my fault.”

A winner goes through a problem and deals with it. 

A loser goes around a problem, and never gets past it.

A winner makes commitments.                       

A loser makes promises

A winner says: “I am good, but not as good as I ought to be.”

A loser says: “I am not as bad as a lot of other people.”

A winner tries to learn from those who are superior to him/her.

A loser tries to tear down those who are superior to him/her.

A winner says: “There ought to be a better way to do it.”

A loser says: “That’s the way it has always been done.”

A winner says: “I will find the right people who can help me.”

A loser says: “I will do it myself.”

A winner looks for an answer in every problem.

A loser looks for a problem in every answer.

A winner says: “I will do it now!”

A loser says: “I will do it later.”

A winner says: “I will quit trying and simply do.”

A loser says: “I will keep trying.”

A winner says: “I will create my own good luck.”

A loser says: “I might get lucky.”

A winner makes things happen.

A loser lets things happen.

Now you can see that winners make different choices than losers. They think different thoughts, believe different things, adopt different attitudes, and therefore produce different results in their lives. Now you have the choice to look at the above attitudes, and decide which you want to be; a winner, or a loser. The choice is yours.

You Are Totally Unique

By Hannah du Plessis

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." Dr. Seuss

You are totally unique.

That’s right; there is no one else like you on this planet. You are totally unique.

Have you ever met anyone that is just like you? I mean exactly like you: Your hopes and dreams, your likes and dislikes, your physical appearance: eye colour, hair colour. No, even identical twins are not 100% similar. If you ask them, they will tell you how they are different. There will be something somewhere; a preference, a mark, a slight variation in colour.

If you look even further, we have different fingerprints, different retina patterns, different DNA, our talents and what motivates us. Each of us an individual masterpiece created totally unique by the Creator.

If you look at psychometric testing: Each test gives different results: Each one gives different preferences, shows how we are motivated, shows different talents and gifts, each one unique, each one a masterpiece.

Is it surprising then that we want different jobs, and even if the job is the same, like a nurse or a teacher, we do it in a different way. No two exactly the same. Your best friend may be excellent at doing admin work. You may be better at working with your hands. I know I thrive on challenges, so I am excellent at sales and marketing. But my best friend is different; she likes to have a job where she is creative in a quiet, peaceful way. No two people have exactly the same preferences or do things exactly the same way.

Your potential, which is really a combination of your gifts and talents, describes in detail who you are. It is so detailed that it defines precisely how you are unique.

Just think: How many people have the talent to be able to do a heart operation, or build a rocket that works from scratch? How many people have the talents to be able to find the cure for a disease?

This is only one gift or talent. However, most people have more than two things they are excellent at. If you have any unique gift, that gift puts you in the top 1% of the population for that gift, and when you speak about odds like that, when you add more of your talents or gifts the odds of others having the same can increase to one in ten billion. There aren’t even that many people on earth.

How judgement robs you of success...

By Dr Robert Anthony

"It's impossible to hate anyone whose story you know." - H.S. Boylan

We talk a lot, in our work with Personality Filters, about developing compassion, both for yourself and others. We say that when you understand why someone behaves the way they do, then you are more able to feel compassion instead of judgement toward them.

Typically, when we judge someone we are making a whole host of assumptions. Take a simple judgement: "She should be on time". Is that true?

Do you know:

-If something unavoidable occurred to prevent her from being on time?
-What lessons she is learning in her life by being late?
-If being on time is an important standard for her?
-If her inner guidance was keeping her from a certain intersection at a certain time?

The bottom line is that you don't know, you never really know what someone else's path in life involves. Therefore, the answer is always, "No, it's not true". It's just your opinion.

Having compassion does not mean that you have to condone someone's hurtful behavior, but it does mean that you don't judge the person. Now I imagine that some of you are thinking, "What about criminals?" I'm willing to bet that the most heinous crimes are committed by people who had heinous things done to them as children. Does that excuse or justify their behavior? Definitely not. But if you knew their story, you would feel more compassion for them. We see this in our work in the judicial system, where judges pass judgment on the action of an individual, while remaining compassionate to the person.

Our day to day judgments are typically not of that magnitude. They are mostly about things that we believe other people should be doing based on our own values, standards, wishes or needs. So the next time you find yourself judging someone, take the judgemental thought and ask yourself; Is that true? Can you know with absolute certainty that it is true? If you're not in that other
person's skin the answer has to be - No, it's not true.

How to Break Through To Success

Author unknown

The article below I got from a friend, and although it talks about online success, it can really be applied to success in general:

Are You One of the 98% Having Difficulty Achieving Online Success? - Or One of the 2% who enjoys online success and always seems to 'get paid '? 


If you haven't even recognized your plight before, keep reading - because the following information could help you transform your life! Read on..... How good would it be if you discovered today that just through reading this article you've found what is possibly the best way in the whole world to join the 2% who win big and enjoy online success? First of all, lets look at some of the features of the two different groups in question- the 92% who fail and the 2% who don't! Over time, studies show us the following results: 


The '2 Percenters':

• Just like you, its most likely that the '2% ' have reasonably functional brains and hands and fingers they can manipulate to do things. 
• They're typically very good at doing the best for themselves and are generally already on a path that makes success possible or even guarantees their success!
• From a psychological perspective,either the 2% have recovered from the damage inflicted on them by their parents and teachers, or they weren't damaged too severely.

The '98 percenters':

• Typically, the 98% are on a path that makes success difficult perhaps impossible even.Typically, the 98% have not recovered from the damage inflicted on them during their early life and If you're among the 98%, it's possible that you've been damaged to the extent that there's no reasonable hope of recovery. 
• This group suffers from not having acquired certain pivotal skills, keeping them stuck at low levels of incompetence, mediocrity, and failure. There are certain factors that BLOCK their success -- and they don't have the pivotal skills required to remove such blocks.
• If you consider yourself to be among the 98%, your first challenge is to find out if there's a possibility that you can learn to use your brain, hands, and fingers well enough to succeed. Try this free study session - You can learn much more about this aspect and receive excellent free information.(see link below)

Your second challenge is to CHANGE DIRECTION and SHIFT TO A DIFFERENT PATH where you can learn to use your brain, hands, and fingers well enough to succeed. Do You know these 7 steps to becoming a '2 percenter '?


1. Recognition of where you're at - If you're reading this chances are you're a 2 percenter looking for direction. So do something about that.

• Look in the mirror, take a good look into your reflection - look yourself in the eye and ask the question "Am I prepared to do what it takes to change?"
• Make a decision and a commitment to do whatever it takes and start today! You might begin with seeking out Daily Messages and motivational and inspirational sayings which help energize you as you set about your daily activities: for example, Abe Lincoln was believed to have said," If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first 4 hours sharpening the axe!

"Achievements are the accomplishment of persistent individuals." James Jones


 2. Discover the Missing Success Factors:

• the "Unstoppable Success Secret" and the "Stuckistic Breakthrough" - that makes online success inevitable. 
• There's some wonderful information available online and offline which can provide you with a source of self-education about success factors and motivation to get you started you might like to try here: It's free too! 

3. Learn some skills and discover:

• How you can learn ways to raise Your financial IQ so you become wealthier faster! 
• Develop a mindset toward accumulating money as opposed to spending what you haven't got.
• How to earn a dollar every day.
• How to get dozens or even hundreds of "Brokers" and "Agents" who help grow your earnings!
• Learn the power of leverage, ways you can apply it (even in simple ways) to double, treble your money.
• Assets you can buy for an affordable price that can quickly grow and multiply your investment! 
• Do your homework. Look for the opportunities, learn the necessary skills and put them into practice. Follow this succinct advice from a highly successful Australian speaker Doug Malouf, "Practice, Rehearsal and Drill! 

4. Learn how to manage your finances - even leverage your credit card or whatever financial services are currently available to you. If you're coming from a position of being 'broke' here's something you can do:

• Decide what's important in your life - example: Maintaining your own Good Health is vital! Without good health you may not find suitable employment or even be able to perform some simple actions to better your position. 
• Consider your 'Spiritual needs' - feeling good about yourself and understanding your relationship with God or your spiritual beliefs.
• Harmonious Relationships - involve your partner / friend to share your thoughts, provide you with help and advice when you need another point of view.
• Develop a routine - a foundation of daily activities designed to ensure you're heading in the right direction each day. Consider this your 'Road Map'!

5. Maintain your good health and wellness.

• If you find yourself spending hours upon hours sitting at your desk 'working' online - STOP! 
• Take a break with simple exercise go out meet people,
• Talk to people and walk to get your blood flowing around your body again - then come back refreshed and resume your efforts.

6 Set Goals - "A dollar a day"

• At the very basic level, this is one very practical philosophy that works very well and brings immediate tangible results- most important from a motivational point of view! 
• Before you spend a dollar ask yourself, "Do I need to buy this?" or "Can I find another, less expensive solution that will get me the same or better result?" You may be surprised how much you can achieve and money you can save using this simple method.

7. Monitor your progress and talk to people - Find out what works for them!

• Looking at item 6 above - At the end of each day sum up the savings you've made and give yourself a pat on the back! 
• Seek out any people you regards as being '2 Per-centers' and ask them for advice, tips and tricks.
• Attend forums online, join business meetings in your area - there's often several small groups in any community who'll share their knowledge and know-how - you just have to seek them out.

Summary. What all this should be saying to you is this. "You are either STUCK, or UNSTOPPABLE, or somewhere in between these two extremes!" It's essential to recognize WHERE you are in order to be able to determine what you have to do to get where you want to be! With a little focus and help you can acquire the Pivotal Skill that enables you to view and examine the origins of the blocks that have kept you stuck and prevented you from achieving online success.

You Are Your Own Enemy

by Hannah du Plessis

"Our duty as men and women is to proceed as if limits to our ability do not exist"- Pierre de Chardin

Yesterday we discussed how what others say and do can limit us. Today, we look at how we can harm ourselves.

Your own self-talk - your thoughts - can limit you. Don’t limit yourself by what you think and say. Keep your thoughts positive. When you think a negative thought, quickly find something to be grateful for and replace it with that thought. Don’t choke your own creativity by thinking negatively.

Don’t doubt yourself because it holds you back. Don’t be afraid of taking risks because what is the worst that could happen: you’ll fail and learn something?

William Shakespeare said: “Our doubts are traitors which tempt us to lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt."

Werner von Braun was one of the scientists responsible for developing the propulsion systems of rockets that got the first satellite into space and the first man on the moon. He said: "Man belongs where man wants to go"

What does that tell you about limits? There are none!!!

Do you want to change your world? Do you want to change your income, your marriage, your level of happiness? Then take the word "impossible" out of your vocabulary.

Everything is possible!!

You live according to what you believe, and you will believe that which you repeat to yourself. 

Speak the truth:

• Today I will have an incredible day
• I am a Winner and have a winning attitude.
• Today I will work hard and put in massive action. 
• I will do what others are not willing to do. 
• I will persevere with enthusiasm and determination. 
• I will plan, and reach my goals. Everything is possible. 
• I have unlimited potential. I will live with passion throughout this day 
• I'll do what it takes. 
• I will embrace my opportunities to learn, grow, help, and love people. 
• I will persevere against all odds. 
• I will succeed!

Write out your own self-talk that you can read to yourself every morning.

Break through to success!

Seven Ways To Simplify Your Life Right Away

By Dr Robert Anthony

"There is more to life than increasing its speed." - Gandhi

Do you sometimes feel like your life is too rushed or too
complicated? Do you find yourself longing for a simpler time?
Wikipedia says, "Simplicity is the property, condition or quality
of being simple or un-combined. It often denotes beauty, purity or
clarity. Simple things are usually easier to explain and understand
than complicated ones. Simplicity can mean freedom from hardship,
effort or confusion.  It can also mean adopting a simpler
lifestyle."

There is a plethora of information being thrown at us everyday,
options galore and pressure to buy more stuff and do more things.
We are overloaded with decisions that have to be made. Even if
you're an info junkie or someone who thrives on options, there is
benefit in slowing down and simplifying your life, even if only
occasionally. Simplifying your life - internally and externally -
can free up space and time for you and can lead to more joy and
more Flow. There are many ways to simplify your life.

Here are just a few:

-Limit stuff to what you need and cherish.
-Spend time in nature instead of at the mall.
-Clear out clutter (internally and externally).
-Be willing to say "no".
-Eat simply and healthy.
-Release complicated, unhealthy relationships.
-Let go of worrying about the future and "be here now".

What could you change/release in your life to create more simplicity?

Did You Know .... Low Self Esteem and Materialism is Connected?

By Dr Robert Anthony

Researchers have found that there is not just a correlation between low self-esteem and materialism, but also a causal relationship where low self-esteem INCREASES materialism and materialism can CREATE low self-esteem. They also found that as an individual's self-esteem increases, their interest in materialism decreases. In a study primarily focused on how this relationship effects children and adolescents, Lan Nguyen Chaplin (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) and Deborah Roedder John (University of Minnesota) found that even a simple gesture to raise self-esteem dramatically decreased materialism.

"By the time children reach early adolescence and experience a decline in self-esteem, the stage is set for the use of material possessions as a coping strategy for feelings of low self-worth". The paradox that findings such as these bring up, is that consumerism is good for the economy in the short run, but bad for the individual in the long run, especially for young people.

Most of us want more income so we can consume more stuff. However, several separate studies show that as societies become richer, they do not become happier. Statistically people have more material possessions and money than they did fifty years ago, but they are actually less happy. In fact, the wealthiest countries have more depression, alcoholism and more crime than they did fifty years ago and yet we have more material goods to purchase than ever
before. This paradox is true of Britain, the United States, Australia, continental Europe and Japan.

The real reason people want whatever is currently "hot" or "in style" is because they believe it will contribute towards their satisfaction and happiness in life. The word "believe" is the key here. People believe that buying more and more things, especially name brand clothes and cars, will make them happy, when in fact research has shown time and time again that this simply isn't the case.

The point here is if you believe that when you get enough "stuff" you will be happy, you are setting yourself up to be very disappointed. So instead why not be happy NOW?  That's right! Cut out the middleman (all that stuff you think will make you happy when you get it) and just be happy NOW. A radical idea, wouldn't you say?

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
