Take Responsibility and Take Action - Your Life is Entirely Up to YOU

I am reminded today by how powerful a simple thing such as taking action can be. I talked with a potential business partner today who had a huge amount of desire to have a multiple six figure income and the lifestyle that I live. She knew exactly what her life would be like when she doubled and then tripled her income.

But it stopped there, she just could not bring herself to take responsibility and to take action. She had tons of excuses and fear of making a decision to change her life and her results. You hear all the top coaches talk about moving from where you are to where you truly want to be. They always say "if you want something you have never had, then you must do something you have never done."

So my question is, why is this so hard to understand? Or, maybe I should ask, why so much fear about taking control of your results? Your best ideas, thinking and actions get you to a situation where you are not happy with your life. Maybe you do not have enough money or maybe you have no time for your family, whatever the reason, you are where you are based on your thinking and your choices in life.

It is not an embarrassment to admit you are not where you want to be, 97% of people are in the same group. What should be embarrassing is to realize you are not where you want to be and where your family deserves to be, but then, do nothing about it.

So to my point. Adults may want more than they have, but instead of taking responsibility, taking action to change it and giving up what it takes to have it, they frequently choose to do nothing. Sure they come up with some great excuses, but that is exactly what they are, excuses. There is no excuse for not taking the action required to have what you want in life. There is no excuse for accepting what you are dealt when you have the ability to change everything.

There is enough of everything available for everyone to have exactly what they choose, plenty of prosperity to go around. It is all there for you. If others are living the lifestyle you would like to have, then there is no reason why you can't as well.

So suck it up, set your goals, set your sites but then take action. Where you are is your responsibility as well as where you are going. In most cases, where you are going is a lot more exciting then where you have been.

To your success...

Prosperity and Abundance is Your Birthright

Too often, the underlying reason people never experience true prosperity in any area of life is due to their feelings of deservability.

Our society has perpetuated the myth for years that successful people are mean, greedy and even untrustworthy. We have been fed the propaganda that we should not want to be wealthy and there is not enough money for everyone.

Our society has told us we do not deserve to be wealthy. I am here to tell you that is absolute hogwash! Everyone deserves to have all the success and abundance they desire.

Even the Bible tells us we can have the desires of our hearts and our purpose on earth is prosperity in every area. If we have the desire within to be prosperous and successful then we have the means to achieve it.

It is our birthright to have prosperity and abundance, God created the world with more than enough of everything for everyone. Everyone is born with the right to be prosperous and abundant.What our society, media and schools do not teach us is there is more than enough money in this world for every desire.

Money is endless, it is an energy that grows with use. The more we put it to work and circulate it, the more there is. It must flow and circulate to grow.

One basic rule of business is if you want to increase the income from a business, you must grow the business. The same rule applies to money in general, it must be used to increase.

We are not taught how to make money, we are taught to work hard. Most highly successful people will tell you the wealth came from learning to work smart or wisely and allowing the universe to reap the returns of the effort.

The hard work of creating wealth, or should I say the hardest part, is working on ourselves. Developing a prosperity consciousness and a vision of success, which therefore drives a life of intention. A person who is truly intent on creating wealth and that intention is driven by a giving heart will experience a level of financial success that is unmeasurable and not imaginable.

We are not taught that wealth in our world is proportionate to the number of people we serve, the amount of service we provide and amount of money we give away.Look at Bill Gates for example. He is the richest man in the world, but also the greatest philanthropist in the world. He makes more because he gives more.

A basic law of this world is you can not out give the amount you can receive. The more you give (with a passionate and loving heart) the more you receive.

So let's address the greatest argument of all times about having wealth and abundance. "Money does not buy happiness". I love this one. No, money does not buy happiness, it buys comfort. When we are comfortable, we have the time and the means to find real happiness in our lives. If this fable were true, then the poorest of poor people would be the happiest. We know this is not true. Normally when you meet a poor person who is happy, it is simply because they have given up and given in, they have settled for much less than they deserve.

My personal goal is to help as many people as possible to live the life they deserve to live, a life of prosperity and abundance in every area. I am accomplishing this goal through my business, offering a powerful program to assist in establishing a mindset of wealth consciousness and by giving generously to the missions and charities I choose. My plan is to tell as many people as I can touch about the power they have inside them, the power to have anything they desire and to empower them to achieve real goals.

I acknowledge that money is not everything but it is extraordinarily important. The best thing I can do for the poor is to not be one, therefore helping large numbers of the poor through giving and providing hope.

Write this in your journal today and put it where you can see it frequently:

"I deserve to be prosperous and abundant in every area of my life".

Now, work on those goals. Think Big, think great, think giving. Then, be intent on living the life you have defined for yourself. Include giving as a major purpose for your success. Look at what you are doing in life. Are you on the route which will take you to those huge goals? If not, then start expecting the right route to show itself, it will.

There is a route for each of us, if we are intent on it revealing itself.I will talk in other posts about how to identify your purpose when it is presented. In the mean time, make it a fabulous and prosperous day. You deserve it.

To your success...

The Results "The Money" is in the Action

So often, students of Law of Attraction become confused as to why they are not getting the results they desire. They may be doing almost everything right, clarification of goals, visualizing, putting their intention into the universe, believing, but the results are still not happening.

I find in most cases, if the mindset is right, the reason the success is not appearing is simply there has not been any or enough corresponding action.

For example, let's say you had an accident and broke your leg. Your goal is to recuperate and to walk unassisted, totally healed. You take the medication prescribed, you rest, you keep your leg elevated and then you wonder why you are not healing. The answer is simple, the healing requires a corresponding action; physical therapy and exercise. Without the corresponding action, you will never experience total restoration.

The same applies in any endeavor we undertake. There must be action, a corresponding action for the results to work through. As I have said in previous articles, the results don't just fall from the sky.

But how do you know what action will bring results? The answer is very simple. Through the Law of Attraction, with focus on the results, the appropriate action will come to you.

Here are some steps to help you find the actions to take:

1) Get quiet
Find a very quiet and peaceful place. Maybe it is a place you always feel special feelings and love when you are there. It may even be a place in your home that brings you solace. Then, get perfectly quiet in your surroundings and in your mind.

2) Focus on your goal
This is very important. When you focus on your goals, DO NOT focus on what you WANT. Focus on the feeling of having it. In your mind's eye, see yourself already in possession of what you desire. Feel the feelings of having it already.

3) Be grateful
Feel gratitude for having the thing. Now please try to get this...
There is amazing power in gratitude. But you must be grateful for where you are and where you know you are going. Once you have asked for the results, "it is given". So faith requires gratitude. You must KNOW inside to your deepest core that you are receiving, so be grateful.

4) Now listen
The corresponding action will come in your thoughts, through other people, through just about any means possible. But you must listen and have faith in the action.

5) Take Action
Once you have listened and received the necessary action, trust the action to be the right one. If you follow these steps, the action will pay off, but you must act upon it. You must TAKE ACTION.

These steps may seem extremely simple, but they work. Give them a try. Realize the results are within you, but you must open the door to the action necessary to make it happen.

To your success.

What Questions are you Asking? Creating Your Results.

I spent this past weekend masterminding with extremely successful entrepreneurs. This was not just wannabes, but people who are living an extreme lifestyle. One thing they all have in common is they are students of personal development and have used these principles to create a life of dreams. The topic we discussed primarily was duplication and I was repeatedly moved by one question over and over again.

"What Questions are you Asking "Yourself"?

Who we are and who we want to be are frequently two different people. Often, we have a clear picture of the person we want to be. We know the basic principles for making the change but there just seems to be a block keeping us from our desired destination. We know what we want and we know we can have it, but the results seem very challenging to materialize.

Unfortunately, we are our own worse enemy when we are "working" toward changing ourselves, or shall I say when we are creating the person of our dreams. We can completely miss the most important element since it is not frequently discussed. This is an element which completely removes the work involved in change.

As students of personal development, we watch what we say, what we think and even how we react. But, do we listen to the questions we ask ourselves? These questions can either block the development and prosperity we desire, or they can propel us to a level of untold wealth and prosperity. The questions we ask ourselves are more powerful than any meditation or affirmations.

Questions for ourselves come from deep within. When we ask ourselves questions, we tend to be brutal and not entirely objective.

Self questions should not replace meditation or affirmations, but should be a part of our development. We should create a habit of asking the right questions at the right time.

Questions have more power with our subconscious mind. When we ask ourselves a question, it forces our subconscious mind to deliver a specific answer to our conscious mind. Our subconscious mind must rely on information we have fed it, it does not know if we are telling it the truth or pretending. When we ask a question of ourselves, the subconscious mind must work at delivering a response, providing great energy and vibration.

Let's take a look at some of the questions we could be asking.

When you look in the mirror, do you ask yourself;

Why did I color my hair?
Why am I wearing this ugly sweater?
When did I put on that extra weight?

These are very negative questions, and even though you may apply good principles in providing yourself an answer, the damage is done through the question itself.

Try these questions instead;

Why does that color look so good on me?
Why does this sweater look so unique?
Why am I looking so thin and healthy today?

This approach may seem a bit uncomfortable at first but you will find the emotion of the question is extremely powerful and uplifting, increasing your vibration dramatically. And of course, the vibration holds the power of the Law of Attraction.

Practice this method often. Always ask yourself awesome questions. Questions that are as big as the goals you desire. The bigger your goal, the more powerful your questions should be. For example:

- Why am I so brilliant?
- Why am I so good at what I do?
- How can I increase my income this month by an additional $40,000?
- How can I give an additional $20,000 to charity?
- How can I change the lives of more people?
- How can I make a big difference today?

Awesome questions will raise your vibrations and dramatically speed up and increase your results. Give it a try.

Just another tool for your personal development toolkit to take you to the life you deserve.

Why I Am Recommending A Soy Product

It is my policy to only post information about personal development that will empower my readers to achieve greater success. However, I am compelled to "just this once" deviate from the norm to talk about this product.

Six years ago, I was "suffering" from out of control menopause. Sorry men, but I must say it. I thought I would die from 50+ hot flashes a day. I had just been downsized from my job of nearly 30 years and the stress was compounded by menopause.

I went to work for Physician Pharmaceuticals,Revival Soy as their call center manager. During my 3 years there, my flashes greatly subsided and although I knew at the time it was the soy I used everyday, I did not think very much about my weight.

I left Revival to start my own business and in time, gradually stopped using Revival products. Especially since the flashes (with time) were under control without it.

Recently I realized that my weight has gradually climbed in the past 3 years and decided to return to my soy regimen. Now, thanks to the temendous benefits of soy on fat control, hair, nails and even skin and hair, I am my old self, greatly improved. Dr. Tabor has even created a great new weight loss program.

So, now I faithfully use Revival and recommend it to everyone (even men). It is the best Soy product on the market and does everything Dr. Tabor (the creator of Revival) claims it does.

You will see a few ads on occassion on my blog and to my knowledge, will be the only product of it's type I will ever recommend to my readers. I encourage everyone to give it a try, and, it really is delicious.

To your success...

Summer is Over, Is it Time to Focus on Success?

Finally, Labor Day has passed and Fall is on it's way. For me, I welcome the end of the summer. Living on the beach is great, but sometimes it is so crowded that I forget how much I love it. September and October however are wonderful months to live at the beach. Still very warm (90 today) and yet the crowds are gone (thank Heaven for school starting).

Anyway, someone mentioned to me just yesterday that now with summer behind them, they could focus on their life and having success in their business.

That started me thinking about the mentality that thinks you have to have all conditions just perfect before you can move forward or continue your life, or have success. Times are only perfect when we allow them to be. If you wait for the "right time", you will never find it. Why? Because the right time is within you. All you have to do is look within to find the "right time" for anything.

If you look within and the desire and the intention are there, then so is the success so the the time is perfect, right now!

Sure, Summer is a time of fun and outdoor events, but who said you have to put your life on hold to have fun and enjoy yourself? Success comes from the fun! Should I repeat that? "Success comes from the fun".

The power of intention should be all anyone needs to have success. Success is already within each and every one of us. Once we set the intention to bring the success out, then having fun and living one's life will set the law of attraction wheels rolling and the success will show itself.

The only piece that is missing here is the mental focus on what you want and how you want that to show itself. The energy and the emotion of the intent can be fed by the fun of living your life. The fun you have, when the focus is on your intention, it is like adding jetfuel to the desire.

So, what am I trying to tell you? Very simple, have fun everyday, but keep your focus on your goals and your intention (aka expectation). Let the fun of living your life be the fuel your intentions need to move you to your destination of allout success.

Sound too simple to be true? Try it. Do the things you need to do and then go out and have fun. Allow the intention of your efforts work for you. They will every time.

To you success...
