Taking Action Conquers Fear

Most of your obstacles would melt away if,
instead of cowering before them
or procrastinating about dealing with them,
you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.

Nothing in life is to be feared.
It is only to be understood.

When you dare to face the things that scare you,
you open the door to freedom and success.

Dig The Well BEFORE You’re Thirsty

Tell me if this doesn’t sound like something you hear way too often, especially if you hang out at forums a lot. Personally, I hear this sort of thing so much, I just want to scream.

“I have a problem. My cat just died and I need $500 to give him a decent burial. I don’t want to just throw him in the ground. There’s this excellent pet cemetery down the street and I’d love to put his remains there. I need a way to make $500 fast. The vet can only keep his body for 3 days. So I need to make $500 in the next 2 days. Can you help me?”

Sound familiar? It should. This is what I hear. The truth of the matter is, there is no real quick way to make a substantial amount of money fast, not that I consider $500 a substantial amount of money. But even a sum like this takes time, especially if you’re just starting out.

Why You Should Aim Higher

My grandmother would often say always aim higher than you believe you can reach. And then frequently, you’ll discover that when your gifts are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal that is set either by yourself or by others.

When people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. There is so much to be learned from those who have gone before us. Never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and take the path less worn, head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it’s the right way for you.

Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination.

The Creative Powers of a Mantra or Two

Do you know that mantras are a powerful way to generate the focus and energy necessary to create something in your life.

It is recommended that mantras should be short and sweet - one word or a simple phrase. Here is a generic mantra to increase the flow of money into your daily life. You can sat this in your mind when you are doing everyday jobs such as driving or cleaning, or if you want you can speak it aloud for even stronger effect.

Remember that self-created mantras are more powerful, than ones that are not created by yourself because they may lack the passion, or urgency that a self created mantra can relate to. Therefore feel free to change or alter this in any way that relates to you and your situation. One of the mantras that I personally use is :

Imagination And The Benefit Of Cultivating It.

The mind can make substance and people planets of its own.–Byron.

The universe to man is but a projection of his own inner consciousness.– Kant.

Imagination is the most powerful and, in many ways the most interesting of the powers of the mind.
Without it the mankind would be sterile. Not only would there be no pictures, no music, no books, but there would be no houses, no bridges, no great business enterprises — nothing.
In truth for everything that man has created he had first of all to conceived it in his imagination before it could come into creation.

A story of Personal Growth and The Facts of Life

A long long time ago, way before the creation of skyscrapers and airplanes, three young brothers yearned and dreamed to reach the clouds.

The oldest brother was determined to be the first to reach the clouds. So he gathered up all his money, found the local wise man and said “Here is all that I own, please tell me how I can reach the clouds.”

The wise man took the man’s money and said… “Build a giant sand castle, bigger than any man has ever seen… and you will surely reach the clouds.”

Winners never quit and quitters never win

In Personal Development as in life true success can only be achieved by not accepting mediocrity, we should always motivate and stretch ourselves to achieve and to get the most out of life that we possibly can. It’s only if when force ourselves and commit everything that we’ve got can we then allow ourselves a pat on the back for a task well done.

Success in life depends on many things including self-discipline and not buckling under at the first challenge we come across or entering a project only half heartedly, by pushing oneself and stretching that little bit more you will be astonished at what you are able to accomplish. This is what separates the winners from the losers, the successful from the unsuccessful. Winners never quit and quitters never win

We all start out with the best of intentions when racing towards the goals we have set, we shoot out of the starting gate and run down the straight but many of us fall back at the first hurdle, we don’t push, we run out of steam when the going gets tough and don’t pause to catch our second wind but come to a halt and give up, or stumble on half heartedly and cross the line in second or third place at best.

A lot of people say that they want to succeed in their life and are motivated but very few are really willing to actually push themselves them that bit further so as to achieve their goals, and this is why some succeed in life and many others fail. Your success is all about how big your “why” is, why you want the success, what success means to you. Are you willing to succeed a little, or are you willing to go the whole way and beyond to achieve the higher status of a winner and be outstanding?
