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...

Plant Your Flag and Claim Your Success
When great explorers found new territory, land, islands or even the moon, the first celebration always involved the planting of their flag. By this act, not only did they claim "the new land" but they also made the claim "I assume responsibility for the ownership of this new land".
Have you planted your flag with your business?
Have you claimed your business as your own?
Have you claimed your business as your responsibility?
Have your claimed the success of your business?
Have you actually gotten excited about the unlimited possibilities of your business?
All are very important questions. Too often, we start businesses, especially from home and then never make the claim of success. Would an explorer have just passed by a beautiful uninhabited land and kept going, looking for the perfect land, a land with no challenges, no obstacles, looking only for a land with abundant life but no effort and no belief in the new land?
This is what new business owners do everyday. No wonder more than 80% of new home based businesses fail.
There are many opportunities available to the home marketer and a very large majority of those are absolutely legitimate and offer the opportunity to achieve dreams. The underlying factor of achieving success and experiencing failure must lie on the shoulders of the marketer.
As Wallace Wattles points out in the amazing book "The Science of Getting Rich", two people can do the same thing, in the same place, but one succeeds and the other fails. Only because the successful person "did things in a certain way". Or as Napoleon Hill suggests in his amazing book "Think and Grow Rich", One must operate a business as an entrepreneur instead of an employee.
When it comes to your business, the time is "NOW". Do not wait for the perfect time, the perfect person, or the perfect teacher. Waiting will destroy your business and it will never succeed.
The time is now to take action. Be the leader in your business. Apply the "certain way" to your business and of course your attitude. That "certain way" separates leaders from followers.
In order to succeed at any business, you must be the leader. Leaders are irresistibly attractive to other leaders. When you fail to be the leader, you are therefore the victim. The victim gives away all power, the victim will never succeed because no one who is looking to succeed will associate or give any authority to the word of a victim.
Leaders look to work with other leaders. So plant your flag. Claim success for your business. Read these two powerful books and apply the principles in them now, not later. Be the outrageously successful leader you truly are.
Plant your flag and claim your success today!

The Only Way to Solve Money Problems - Name it and Claim it
I am frequently astounded at how people "claim" their problems. Just look around the Internet and pay attention to how people talk about problems. I am even more astounded that people have web sites based on their problems. What could possibly be the purpose of this focus and attention?
I am reminded of a great quote:
"Celebrate what you want to see more of" Thomas J. Peters
Celebrate what you want to see more of, is basic Law of Attraction. I refer to it as Name it and Claim it. What you give focus and attention to comes to you, so why would anyone give attention and focus to any "problem".
Now, first of all, I do not support simply ignoring your problems. However, you deal with problems as temporary challenges, taking whatever action is necessary to resolve them and then you let them go. Once something is history, it should no longer control your energy and attention. This means you should not talk about it, write about and dwell on it.
Constant discussion only buys into the drama of the story and brings more adversity into your life. It is the "claiming" things as a problem and holding them in our lives that puts us in situations we can not climb out of.
When you give attention to something at this level, the drama of it brings more of into your lives.
You have total control over your life, not only the way you handle things and react to them, but how long they are a part of your life and to what level they affect you. You even have total control over your finances, but if you talk about them in the negative, you get negative results, not prosperity. So why would you want more of the "bad stuff?"
The only way to resolve any problem, especially financial is to deal with it quickly and succinctly and then let it go. Put it in the past where it belongs.
Do not dwell and talk about things that bring you frustration or anguish.
Talk only about the positive things and leave the negatives where they belong.
Yes, I have had great adversity in my life and every time, it was very short and very temporary. Instead I chose to have more and never told anyone about the problems, because I did not want more of them to come to me.
And that is the point, I choose success, I choose happiness, I choose everything good to come to me.
When it comes to money issues, it is best to get someone else to deal with them for you. The energy you give the situation, will bring you down, so by having someone else deal with it, gives you an opportunity to focus on what life will be like when it is behind you.
Name and Claim only what you want in your life, never what you do not want. Talk about it, think about it, dream about it, write about it. The more energy you give it, the faster it will come. Name and Claim only the good stuff, never the bad. Get rid of the chatter in your mind that holds you back. Do not voice your problems out loud either, words have a power of their own and will completely block your prosperity.
Keep it simple, keep it quiet and keep moving toward your goals.
To your success!

Financial Mindset - How much money are You Really Worth?
I spend my days working with people to teach them how to make money and every day, take a serious look at the mindset people operate from. It is very interesting to see the result of someones life as it compares to their mindset. Simply said, I can only teach people to make what they think they are worth.
First of all, let me clarify. Living a prosperous life is not really about the money, it is about the lifestyle the money provides. It is about the freedom, the choices and the options available to those who create their lives.
But the greatest challenge to me is helping people to see that the amount of money they earn is directly relevant to how much they think they are worth. I talk with people everyday who see themselves in a very small place, the challenge is to move them to see the bigger picture.
What does this mean? Let's do a very simple exercise. Take out a piece of paper and without much thought, simply write down on that paper how much money you want to make this year. What did you write? Was it $1 Million, $500,000 or maybe even $50,000?
Whatever you wrote on that piece of paper is what you are worth (today)! Value is a perception only, so if you have the perception that you are worth $50,000 then I am sorry to inform you, that is all you are worth (at this time). But you may say... sure, but it is June and the year is half over, or, I don't know how to make more right now, my current salary is this or this or that or whatever!
The fact is, 90% of the result is the mindset. So if you see yourself making only $50,000 then you have the mindset of making that amount. On the other hand, if you see yourself making $500,000 this year, then that is the mindset you are working with and your chances of making that amount dramatically increase.
I have said in many of my articles that making a Million Dollars is the easiest thing in the world, the hard part is DECIDING to make a Million Dollars. It is one thing to WANT a Million, but if you have not decided to make it, then you are just in a state of want and will never move past that with your current thinking. Your current thinking is responsible for where you are today, in order to move beyond where you are, you absolutely must change your thinking.
Another very important point is this...
It is not your job to figure out HOW to make the amount of money you desire, it is your job to DECIDE what that amount is. Once you make a decision, which involves a fever of desire and an unstoppable mindset, then the method will come to you, but you must DECIDE first.
Bottom line, as I said, I work with people to show them how to use a simple system to achieve financial success. But, if a person has the mindset of $50,000 then they will take this Million Dollar opportunity and make $50,000 with it. On the other hand, if they have a Million Dollar mindset and desire, they will make the Million. The other person will literally leave $950,000 on the table for someone else to make and then complain that the opportunity is not worth more than $50,000.
Think about it very seriously. What is your financial mindset? Whatever it is, is what you are worth. Let's talk later about how to increase that mindset.
Make it a fabulous day, you deserve it.

Praise and Celebrate Your Life - The Power of Gratitude
"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate." Oprah Winfrey
This is a powerful quote and I encourage my readers to post this where they can see it everyday. Turn on the power of gratitude. Gratitude is an energy, a force, beyond all others.
You can not open the doors to receive in your life until you are grateful for what you have, and not just the things you have, but the circumstances the people, your mind, your inner power, your dreams, your desires, your life and all things touching your life. It is all a part of who you are and the future you have.
Be grateful

We ARE Liberty League, not just DO Liberty League
So, people ask me all the time what I do. Obviously, I work from home, have tons of free time, do what I want to do and am assisting my community. Liberty League is why I can do these things. The truth is, yes, Liberty League is what I do, but more importantly, I AM Liberty League. I love this company, the community and every thing that it stands for.
I started with Liberty League International in June 2004. Literally, I was exhausted, fed up with my management job and just tired of living someone else's dreams. So late one Sunday night, knowing that Monday would be horrible as they always were, I was searching the internet, hoping for a new beginning.
And, I found it...
Thanks to this amazing opportunity, my husband and I both left our jobs, moved to where we really wanted to live (the beach) and very proud that we are making a real difference in the lives of other people and our community. Before coming here, we only talked about "some day" and "maybe" but now we live our dreams everyday.
Through LLI's product, Beyond Freedom, I learned not only that I have total control over my life and my lifestyle, but how to take control of my life. Beyond Freedom is part of my daily personal development, guiding me to be the best I can be. Before Beyond Freedom, I never really understood how to make the Law of Attraction and The Secret work for me. Now, they are part of everything I do because Beyond Freedom assisted me in changing my thinking to allow them to work.
There is no end to what we know we can create. We are so grateful to have this product and this company in our lives and know without any doubt that God brought us here and we are where He wants us to be. We are grateful to Him for putting this piece of our life puzzle together for us. And we are grateful to the founders of Liberty League for creating something so powerful.
Always, to your success,
Wanda Grindstaff

Be the Rhino, A Life of Purpose and Intention
Jerry Clark, extremely well known in the Network Marketing industry for not only his success but for his powerful teachings at Club Rhino, uses the analagy of Rhinos and Cows to explain the difference in successful and unsuccessful people.
Most entrepreneurs have heard the story of The Rhino escaping from the Cow Pasture. The point of the story is, the Rhino knows where he is going and will not be misguided or held back by the beliefs of others, namely the cows.
While in the cow pasture, the Rhino has a vision of his goal, escapes and keeps on purpose for getting there. As a Rhino, he can see himself where he truly wants to be and is driven by his desires and purpose.
With Rhinos, the joy is in the journey. With consistent action, integity and the ability to do what cows will not, he creates a journey filled with joy, charging through the jungle regardless of appearances. The Rhino sees every situation as part of the journey and is grateful for the events that move him to his destination.
Cow conditioning on the other hand is giving in to the evidence of a situation. By concentrating on life's mistakes and failures, he fails to move toward a goal simply because the route of travel is not crystal clear, smooth and guaranteed.
Rhinos get results because they, unlike cows, do not sabotage their success with inconsistency, excuses and drama. Rhinos always team up with other Rhinos, surrounding themselves with goal achievers. Rhinos play to win instead of playing "not to lose".
You deserve to know, by making a few modifications in your thinking and your actions, you too, can be a Rhino. By taking total ownership of your results, removing any blame and moving consistently forward toward your ultimate destination, you will see yourself as the Rhino you are inside. Instead of being a cow waiting for the slaughter, take charge and create your desired outcome.
I will talk further about being a Rhino and living the Rhino life in later posts. In the meantime, when you look back to where you have been, see yourself as a Rhino who thought he was a cow, instead of a cow, living a cow's existence.
To your success!

Does Taking Responsibility Mean Admitting You Were Wrong?
When working with individuals, assisting them in moving forward to find their own greatness, I am always amazed at their hesitation to take the next step. Here you are, with a very strong desire to double or triple your income, live the lifestyle of your dreams and you just will not take the steps to move you to your destiny. So what is this all about?
As I have written many times, the first step to move forward is accepting responsibility for where you are. You must realize your current situation is the result of your own actions and your best thinking, not the actions of other people. You must change your thinking from where you were to thinking that will take you to where you want to be.
So the question arises, "If I accept responsibility for where I am, meaning that my decisions in life brought me to my current bad situation, then do I have to admit I made wrong decisions and had wrong judgement?" Absolutely not!
We are evolving beings. Everything we do in life is part of a journey. It is a continuing process to get to where you are intended to be. The challenge we face is recognizing when it is time to move to the next step.
Too often, people give up on their dreams because they have made mistakes. But moving forward means you are a creative thinker and you grow from each setback or each challenge.
God wants success for everyone on earth. But to have success, you have to evolve. You are perfect and a creator, given the ability to have anything you desire. You do not have to find anything, other than what is inside you. You have the ability to move forward.
With this said, then any bad situation or challenge you have encountered is just a part of the journey. Let the challenges or miscalculations go and continue to evolve. Be grateful for the things you learn from and the things you can leave behind. My approach is very simple. When I realized wrong judgement or decision placed me where I did not want to be, I express gratitude for the lesson and vow to myself to let it go.
So, take responsibility for where you are, regardless of where it may be. Be grateful for the opportunity to move beyond that point and let it go! You are a perfect person, a creator to mold your future. The past is history and regardless of how hard you try, you can not change it. Move on and create your life for tomorrow.

Inspiration and Gratitude - A Powerful Success Tool
Today is a gorgeous day at the beach. I live on a beautiful little island in the Southern Outer Banks of NC. This is a picture from my deck today. I am filled with inspiration, knowing that Spring is peeking through the bleakness of Winter.
It makes me think about why my husband and I chose to move here 2 years ago. After leaving our jobs and starting our business, we suddenly realized we could live anywhere we chose, and here we are.
The reason I bring this up is very simple. Gratitude is a powerful tool to use when creating success and prosperity in your life. Gratitude turns on the ignition of The Law of Attraction to bring greater things to you. The more gratitude you show for everything you have, the more the Universe (God) will be willing to bring to you.
But gratitude is even more powerful when you are grateful for the little things and the challenging things. Challenges are a piece of your life map taking you to your destination. How you handle challenges is what makes the difference.
In everything in life, you are either moving forward or falling backward. If you are grateful for the challenges, then you are consistently moving forward toward your goals and where you should be in life.
So be grateful for everything. Yes, it is easy to be grateful for a beautiful ocean scene everday, but even when it is stormy, dark and bitter cold, I am grateful for that as well.
I choose to receive in my life and I hope you too will choose to receive. Recieving begins with gratitude. Be inspired by everything in your life and show gratitude for all, afterall, you created what you have and where you are.
To your success!

Do Your Kids Watch TV?
I have long been an advocate of using a Media Fast to boost, even skyrocket your results when looking for positive changes in your life. It is very exciting to see young mothers now taking a serious look at the power (negative and positive) that TV has on small children. It is never too early to seriously consider the effect of TV on children. Kudos to Kristy Shreve Powers, author of Home of the Busy Mama's Guide, for asking this very important question. I know you will enjoy her post.

Get Plugged in with Others
I have recently become involved with a great organization I wanted to share with everyone. As students of Personal Development and the Law of Attraction, it is vital for us to associate with others who have the same passions.
I would like to suggest www.meetup.com to you as an alternative. At no cost to you, you can join in with groups in your area who may already be meeting, discussing and reviewing topics you are passionate about.
Check them out, I did and grateful for the contacts.
Make it a fabulous day.

After the Decision - What is the Next Step?
I have written in many of my articles about the power of making a decision. Having anything you desire requires making a decision to have it. The movie "The Secret" talks about the power of deciding what you want. "Think and Grow Rich", "The Traveler's Gift", "The Science of Getting Rich", "Ask and it is Given", and any other book focusing on manifestations or the Law of Attraction tell us first and foremost you must make a decision to have what you desire.
But what happens after you make a decision? In my coaching experience, I hear from many people "well, I made a decision, but nothing happened". Excuse me! What did you EXPECT to happen? Did you expect bags of money to drop on your doorstep after you decided to be rich? Did you expect the man of your dreams to knock on your door after you decided to get married? Did you expect your children to stop being kids when you decided to get more in touch with them?
Then I hear, "I made the decision but I just couldn't figure out how to make it happen". I hear this everyday, so I definitely want to address this, because it is probably the number one reason people give up on their dreams.
When you make the decision to change your life, you must first of all be OPEN to it changing and secondly and most importantly, it is not your job to figure out how to make it happen! Once you make the decision and you know that your life is changing and put into your heart the expectation of change, God, or The Universe (if you prefer), will bring the way to you. Your life will rearrange itself to make the decision come to fruition. And, the way may be by a method you never expected. But what it will definitely be is a means for you to reach your goal, or an opportunity for you to reach your goal, or a person who leads you to another person, or a new job offer, or an unexpected letter of money owed to you, or someone in a grocery line that tells you about a business opportunity.
What it takes is trust and expectation. Once you have made the decision, just allow it to happen. There is no need to worry about how things will happen. Just be open to new situations and new people in your life. Everyone coming into your life is there for a reason and you must be open to why they were put in your path.
Here is a perfect example, I recently talked with a gentleman who "decided" to find a home business opportunity that would get him out of a job that he hated. In our coaching, we were talking about the power of making the decision and how to make the decision and make sure it is a true desire and from the heart.
Then he said to me "I made this decision, expecting to find the right opportunity, and I had some interesting opportunites presented to me, one in particular that it seemed everyone I talked to was involved in, but when I did research on them I found there were people who did not have success and I have to find something where everyone succeeds or it must be a scam." It took me a couple of minutes to gain my composure on this one.
After finally composing myself, here are the points I made to him:
1) If you made the decision, then the universe must bring you opportunities that will take you to your goal
2) If you second guess the universe, then you are not trusting God to help you
3) Could there be a reason the same opportunity kept presenting itself?
And the most important:
4) You never made the decision, you are still trying to do it yourself. You must trust your decision and allow the answer to "come to you".
But let me get off the path for a moment.... 99% of business opportunities are legitimate. It is the people who are in the business who are not succeeding, not the business. If anyone starts a home business and expects to be scammed, or expects "it" to fail, "it" has no choice but to fail. The Law of Attraction gives you what you expect. So, if you start a business and know, absolutely know that you will have amazing success, then you will have success. But if you are just putting your toe in the water to see if something works, it will not work, so don't waste your time.
Let me wrap this up. Make a decision and let the Universe bring the way to you. You do your job with the decision, the Universe does it's job by bringing you the opportunity to receive your desire.
Let yourself have what you want in life. Let yourself receive what it is you decided to have.
Make it a great day.

The Buck Stops Within - Accept Responsibility for your Success
The Buck Stops Within - Accept Responsibility for your Success: "We often hear the famous quote “The Buck Stops Here”, but how does that apply to your endeavor to succeed in life and in business?
When you get down to the nitty gritty of success in any area, it is everything! First of all, you must accept the fact that wherever you are in business, relationships, spiritual life or health, is a result of the choices you have made in your life. You may not have chosen the specific destination, but the choices you made along the way, have placed you exactly where you are today.
We live in a blame society, everyone wants to blame someone else for pretty much everything. This blame trend is actually disintegrating empowerment in people’s lives. No one is in control of someone else unless that person allows it to happen. "
You can only accomplish total success when you are willing to accept responsibility for yourself.
So what areas do we accept responsibility for? Very simple, everything.
1) Be responsible for every thought: Everything begins with a thought. Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions and actions lead to results or the lack of results. So first of all, take total responsibility for what you are thinking. Your conscious mind only knows what the subconscious mind tells it. So control your thoughts, keep them positive, focused and clean of anything destructive.
2) Be responsible for your feelings or emotions: What you attract into your life is what you give energy to, or what you give emotion to. Emotion is what drives the Law of Attraction. Emotions are also what brings trouble into lives, so until you control your emotions, you will never have control over your life and your results.
3) Be responsible for your actions: Any action has a reaction. In every area of your life, if you do not control your actions then you have no control over the reaction. If you are controlling your thoughts, that will assist in controlling your emotions and in turn, the appropriate action should be easier for you to control.
4) Be responsible for your results: Everything you have in your life, everything you are in your life, everything you will ever have or will be is entirely up to you.
Take control and full responsibility for these 4 areas of your life and you will find that tomorrow will not be the same as today. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing, expecting different results. In order to change the path you may be on at this time, you must accept responsibility for yourself.
I am certain you will be amazed at how enlightening it is when you focus on being responsible for yourself. We will talk at another time about letting the past go, but I must add briefly.
Once you accept responsibility for your past, you must let it go. It has no affect on where you will be in the future, unless you let it control you.
In the meantime, make it a great day, you deserve it.

Laser Focus, What You Visualize, You Materialize
Laser Focus, What You Visualize, You Materialize: "So, everyone wants to know what it takes to succeed at anything and everything! The most frequent question I am asked is “what is the secret to success”. I truly think this is a most amusing question. First of all, if the question is asked then the person asking has not looked within to find out how they themselves define success. They have not become clear on what they want and their purpose.
Everything in life comes down to knowing what you want. Regardless of where you are striving for success, i.e. relationships, business, career, finances, sports, love or any other area of your life. If you do not know exactly what you want then you certainly will never know when the opportunities or solutions present themselves.
I am a believer in the saying “what you visualize, you materialize”. So I hear the moans already, someone else is going to tell me to visualize my goals. Absolutely I am. If you can not see yourself in receipt of what you want, then you will always just want it, never have it. This is a very simple truth.
But what does it take to visualize goals? Laser focus for starters.
1) Get perfectly clear on what you want, be very specific
2) Get in tune with what it will feel like when you have it
3) Apply that feeling, or energy to focus on your desire
4) Like a laser beam, make every action you take move you closer to that goal
5) Be present with your goals, know every minute of the day what the goal is
6) Never give up and never give in, do not settle for anything less
7) Everyday, take a few minutes to visually tap into these feelings.
8) When visualizing your goals, it should be almost like a memory, something you are very familiar with, not just a want.
9) Make it very personal, as you visualize, get excited with how it feels to have accomplished the goal
So, what is the secret? Laser focus on your desire. Regardless of what the desire is, everything you do will either move you toward your goal or away from your goal. To become this aware of your thoughts and visualization, you must be focused and totally clear on what you are looking to achieve.
What you think about and give energy to, comes about.
Everything in life comes down to knowing what you want. Regardless of where you are striving for success, i.e. relationships, business, career, finances, sports, love or any other area of your life. If you do not know exactly what you want then you certainly will never know when the opportunities or solutions present themselves.
I am a believer in the saying “what you visualize, you materialize”. So I hear the moans already, someone else is going to tell me to visualize my goals. Absolutely I am. If you can not see yourself in receipt of what you want, then you will always just want it, never have it. This is a very simple truth.
But what does it take to visualize goals? Laser focus for starters.
1) Get perfectly clear on what you want, be very specific
2) Get in tune with what it will feel like when you have it
3) Apply that feeling, or energy to focus on your desire
4) Like a laser beam, make every action you take move you closer to that goal
5) Be present with your goals, know every minute of the day what the goal is
6) Never give up and never give in, do not settle for anything less
7) Everyday, take a few minutes to visually tap into these feelings.
8) When visualizing your goals, it should be almost like a memory, something you are very familiar with, not just a want.
9) Make it very personal, as you visualize, get excited with how it feels to have accomplished the goal
So, what is the secret? Laser focus on your desire. Regardless of what the desire is, everything you do will either move you toward your goal or away from your goal. To become this aware of your thoughts and visualization, you must be focused and totally clear on what you are looking to achieve.
What you think about and give energy to, comes about.

Find the Unlimited Potential Within to Create the Life of Your Dreams
Find the Unlimited Potential Within to Create the Life of Your Dreams: Every human is born with unlimited potential. What you are, what you do, how you live, what you accomplish, how you love and what you have in life is not limited in any possible way by your circumstances.
Each person is born with the same possibilities as every other person and those possibilities are unlimited. True, some people are born into circumstances that may be a greater challenge to overcome, but the potential remains the same for everyone.
God built into each of us the ability to create the life we desire and dream of. Along with that ability is the unlimited possibilities of our thought.
Take for example, Thomas Edison. He did not just wave a wand and invent electricity. The ability to create electricity was in every person of that era, but Thomas Edison thought about what this new invention would be. He envisioned it and decided that he could find the components to develop it. He drew upon his unlimited potential and did not give up on it. If you study Mr. Edison, you will find that he tried hundreds of ideas before he succeeded. The idea of electricity never changed during this period. Only the methods that he used to invent it. He didn’t just accidentally fly a kite and find electricity. He knew exactly what he was looking for because he saw it in his mind, long before he made the discovery. He focused on the idea and gave it tremendous attention.
This same ability is in each of us. Every invention, every finding, every discovery begins with a thought. Humans are given the ability to think. It is then what you do with that ability that makes you different from those around you. Some people choose to use their thought to create and others choose to use it to hold them back. Again, there is no distinction, other than the decision to use the thought either in a positive manner or a negative manner.
Positive thinking, or as I call it, creative thinking is just as powerful as negative thinking or destructive thinking. Every human is exactly what they choose to think. I do not agree with the old cliché of you are what you think you are. Instead, I choose a newer version, what you think - you are.
So what does all of this have to do with potential? Your potential is only limited by what you think. If you genuinely see yourself as a successful artist, creator, entrepreneur, parent or any other dream, then that is exactly what you are and your life will reflect exactly who you know you are inside.
However, on the other side, if you see yourself as a misfit, a nobody, unsuccessful, a failure or just not the person you want to be, then that is exactly what your life will reflect.
I wish I could say that potential is based entirely on what you think about, but there is another powerful consideration. And, that is belief. Covering up a lack of belief with positive thinking will only tend to cloud your results in life.
You can not mask a deep rooted fear and negative thought process with a few positive thoughts. It takes consistent action to change your belief process. You must implement a solid personal development program to accomplish this level of change in your belief system. You must learn to direct your thoughts into the right area, have total control over your thoughts to see this level of success.
With consistent and daily attention to what you think, what you say and how you react to circumstances, you can start to see small steps of accomplishment. Start today by filling your mind, your eyes and your ears with sound, uplifting and positive thoughts and images. Be very aware of what you put into your mind. If you watch trash, then your mind will focus on trash. If you associate with negative, draining people, then your results will be the same as their results.
Take a look at your 5 closest friends. If they are not the type of people you want to transform yourself into, then I strongly suggest finding new friends. You truly are the company you keep, simply because their influence determines what you put into your mind.
Once you make some small changes in what you see, hear, speak and think, you will begin to see the unlimited potential in yourself and you will see immediate change in your circumstances.

The Power of Word
As students of the Law of Attraction, we know that what we think about we bring about. But, have we taken a good look at those instantaneous thoughts that sometimes create words of destruction?
I am overwhelmed with how powerful this is. Thoughts and words all come from emotion, but there are times when emotion controls not only our words but our thoughts and bring about some very negative results for us.
When you are confronted with anything in your life you do not agree with or frustrates or angers you, any fleeting thoughts or words controlled by negative emotion can be extremely damaging to you. These thoughts may be instigated by something you read, something said to you or something you hear on the radio or TV. Unless things directly affect you, why would you waste any emotion on them when emotion is such a powerful force?
For example, someone does something you do not like (it happens) and you make comments about it (not necessarily to the person) rant and rave and show emotion. Those words and the emotion you are holiding onto are not going to change the situation, alter the outcome or be life changing. They are simply words that are spewing from emotion so they are only hurting you. The old cliche' of "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me" is just not true.
Any level of negative emotion will only hurt you and your results. This emotion will frequently consume us for days and holding on to it will alter your outcome and your results dramatically.
In order to manifest positive results into your life, you must eliminate the negative emotion. I do not believe in anger management, afterall, why would you want to manage something you should not have anyway. Just let it go. Anger comes from thoughts, which become words and when you speak the words, your subconcious mind believes it and the cycle just starts all over again. So, let it go.
When negative emotions start to show their ugly heads, just eliminate them immediately with positive emotion. Yes, it can be done and when practiced becomes quite easy. Make a point to attract only the things you want into your life. Make it an intential attraction postive results instead of an attraction of negative happenstance.
