How Great is the Strength of Your Belief?

Be careful what you believe because that's what you will experience. Sounds a bit woo woo doesn't it ... but, whether you believe it or not, it makes no difference ... there's a growing body of science that's proved and is continuing to prove this to be true!

Your belief system is a mechanism which is uniquely yours. It's powered by your desire and controlled by your thoughts and actions. In other words, your success is measured by the strength of your belief.

What is it that you desire?
Often people don't have a clue what it is they want, they just know what they do not want.
And how often have you noticed that there's lots of what you don't want in your life? True or true!

So it's a good time now, to evaluate your goals and determine the end result you REALLY want to achieve.

Put your goals in writing and place them where you can see them often every day. Read them frequently to keep them fresh on your mind.

Be inquisitive.

Research and learn as much as you can on how you can achieve your goal. Use all possible resources like books, CDs, courses and people.

Yes, people. Talk to as many people you can who are already successful in what you want to achieve. Ask, ask and ask some more about what they did to reach success.

Stretch yourself outside of the people you already know. Introduce yourself by phone or mail, explain your purpose for contacting them and ask for a tip.

The worst thing that can happen is that they ignore you. The best thing that can happen is that they become your mentor and offer support and encouragement. Chances are you'll receive at least one great tip from many of the people you contact. This method is the least expensive and most rewarding.


Be unique
Next, take the ideas you learn, embellish them and come up with your own creative process.
Think how you can approach your goal in a way that no one else has.

Dare to be different. Don’t be afraid to take risks. What do you have to loose?

Write out a list showing the worst things that could happen and then list all of the best possible outcomes. Always maintain your concentration on your desired result.


Be open to giving things a go

When you were a child and saw older children riding a bike (without training wheels), you didn’t look at their scraped knees and elbows and say, 'Whoa, I could get hurt doing that.'

Instead, you saw the fun they were having and begged to try it for yourself. With a great deal of practice and maybe even pain, you gradually learned how to maintain your balance yourself.

Before long you were trying to 'out do' your friends with your speed or fancy tricks. When yo
u fell, you'd get back on and try again with even greater determination.

From your very first effort, you would have believed in your mind that you'd eventually learn to ride. I bet you even knew in your mind you'd be the best in the neighborhood, in your school, in th
e state, in the world!

Be positive

If you see obstacles before you, then you'll mostly see problems. If you have hesitations that you plan won't work, then it won't work. If you're influenced by the power of negative people, then you'll never be any better than they are.

Believe in yourself and what you are capable of achieving.

When your desire to succeed is stronger than the pain, fear or frustration of failing, there's no turning back.

I challenge you to view your goals just like you did when you were a child, when you only saw the possibilities.

Remember
, anything is possible as long as you believe. Make a commitment that you'll not let anything or anyone, including yourself stand in your way ... that you'll keep on keeping on until you reach your goals.


Love life and live it creatively and on purpose!

11 Great Reasons Why Smiling Makes us More Successful!

First: Our smile shows others people we're friendly
If a stranger approached you and gained eye contact with you and then treated you to a broad smile you'll have a pretty good idea they're friendly and mean you no harm.
By contrast we would find it far more difficult to offer trust to the stranger that wears a scowl or unfriendly face features.


Second: A smile can make other
people happy
When someone treats you to a smile, even a
stranger, you usually smile back. For that moment you enjoy a flash of positive communication without saying a word.

As you walk through a crowded area like a main street you can do this hundreds times in a very short period of time.
When you smile at someone who isn't alr
eady smiling and they smile back, you've brought a moment of happiness into their lives which, who knows, could last all day.

Third: Smiling is infectious

When you spend a lot in the company of someone who smiles a lot you soon discover that their smile is catching. It is hard not to return a smile; most of us do it at a subliminal level without thinking.

Fourth: Smiling can make you popular
Which type of people do you prefer? A person that has a tir
ed and listless face. An expression that may reflect their inner thoughts of boredom and worry?

OR ... someone who's always smiling and shows they have an enthusiastic passion for life.
I think for the majority of us the choice would be obvious!

Fifth: Smiling can help you to make new friend
s
In the same way few of us would choose a miserable person for a friend. Lets face it, we all want friends who're
going to be bubbly and a happy and positive and help us feel better about ourselves and our lives.
Be the friend you'd most like to have ... to yourself and the people around you!!!!

Sixth: A smile is usually returned
When someone smiles back at you it makes you fe
el good inside. You've just made a short but very positive communication and possibly the first step in the process of getting to know or making friends with someone new.

Seventh: Smiling makes you positive and happy inside

When you smile it is hard to feel unhappy, negative or sad in anyway. Smiling gives you enthusiasm and drive ... AND ... it's also habit forming. Try it today!!!

Eight: A smile makes you look far more attractive

You don’t see many celebrities or media personali
ties who aren't smiling. They're in the business of attracting popularity and it's pretty obvious that smiling definitely makes them more attractive to their audience.

Ninth: Smiling also helps make you memorable to others!

Have you noticed that smiling people are usually far more memorable than those who aren't? It's fact that you're 3 times more likely to remember the person that's smiling over the one that's wearing a frown or neutral features.

Tenth: Most importantly, smiling is good for your health!!!

When you're smiling you find whatever you're doing far easier. It releases any stress, worry and tension you may have built up throughout the day.

Long term, developing the smiling habit will be one of the smartest things you can do to improve most aspects of your life.

Eleventh: The effects of smiling can last for hours

Whatever problems and challenges you have in your life, smiling temporary puts them on hold. For a while you forget the problems and become positi
ve, and while you're in a positive state you've got more potential and power to advance and improve your life.
Lastly: Smiling is FREE! You're never going to run short of smiles and will always have enough to go around. When you weigh up the positive points of smiling it's a no brainer decision to do far more smiling and share them with as many people as possible. Keep smiling!!!

Love life and live it creatively and on purpose!

7 Surprisingly Quick And Easy Ways To Feel Happier

All of us have days when we're out of sorts and just wish you were in a better mood. You've had days like that, haven't you? I know I have.

And then there's those time when you've tried to get yourself into a better state of mind but struggled to achieve it.


Sometimes we get stuck in our own emotional dumps and forget how easy it is to feel happier.

Here are seven simple things you can do to lift your mood easily and naturally.


1. Go for a walk
Most people know that going for a short daily walk is one of the best forms
of exercise. When you're feeling down it's even more beneficial.

If possible, find a park or a natural environment with plants and birds. If that's not possibl
e, either look at the plants and things around you or think about somewhere like that as you walk.

What do you notice first? The different shades of greenery, the fresh smell of country air, the sounds of birds, or the sunlight shining through the trees?


2. Listen to quality music

Music can shift a listener's state within moments. It's effect can be nearly magical. Dig out that CD you haven't listened to in ages or tune in your radio to something you've never listened to before.

3. Open yourself to discovering something new

Read something uplifting or find something inspiring to watch. There heaps of different types of magazines can you get these days.

Visit you
r local library or browse through a magazine rack. Pick up or buy a magazine you wouldn't normally buy. Enter relaxation or inspiration into your search engine browser or YouTube. You may discover something wonderful ... let me know what you find!

4. Find something to laugh at

Laughter is one of the best ways to lift your spirits. Find a humorous book, or watch a comedy.

The funny thing about laugher is there doesn't even have to be anything to laugh at for your body and your mind to feel the benefits ... just laugh and you'll feel them ... go on ... I dare you!


5. Simple breathing meditation

Breathing meditation is a great exercise that you can do anywhere. Simply allow yourself to sit comfortably with your back straight. Now close your eyes and become aware of the flow of air into and out of your nostrils.

Breathe deeply into your lungs using your diaphragm, into the middle of your lungs and into your chest ... then breathe out in reverse ... chest, middle, diaphragm. That's all there is to it.

If you can do this for 10-15 minutes however even 6 - 10 long slow deep breaths will make a difference.

6. Doodling for the fun of it

Most people can remember when they were young and used to doodle for hours. Kids love drawing silly little pictures and colouring in.

Drawing's not just for kids or artists. Whoever you are get some pens, pencils, crayons or whatever you have and just draw for the fun of it. Notice how your state of mind shifts.


7. Understand how lucky you are

The fact that you're reading this article suggests that you're probably much better off than most people on this planet. At times this may be hard to believe, but if you can read and have access to the internet, just those two things alone means you're better off than most people in the world.

There are many human beings that barely have access to the basics of survival. There are people in lots of pain. Allow your feelings of gratitude for the life you're living to grow.


These are all pretty simple. There's nothing profound or life changing, but when all you need is a quick pick me up these may be just the thing you need to give you a lift.

Putting simple ideas, methods, tools and techniques into action will help you achieve change more quick and easily ... surprisingly so at times ... than you imagine.

Self Confidence and Inner Growth

Even if you feel as if you're lacking confidence, it doesn't mean other people can tell. Think about including these tips into your life in some way everyday to develop and build your self confidence:
  • Associate with positive uplifting people. Good people around you will help you build self confidence
  • Do something new every day. Each small act will add to your confidence and also make your life more enjoyable
  • Think about your posture. Someone who stands upright and moves with a sense of purpose gives the impression that they have confidence. Duplicate the physical characteristics of confident people and notice your confidence grow
The most sacred thing in life is self confidence because it is the secret of all miracles.

When you have confidence in yourself, you arouse everything that is stronger, greater and superior in you. As a result, the more confidence you have in yourself, the more success you'll have and the more you'll attain and accomplish.

A person who knows the power of self confidence walks a path of inner growth and achievement. With self confidence a person of mediocre ability can achieve more in life than those wit
h exceptional talents and little self confidence. Supreme self confidence is a birth right for every person so isn’t it about time you claimed yours?

Love life and live it creatively and on purpose!
