Law of Attraction.The secret.

When you are at work, do you get frustrated because things don’t seem to be happening the way they’re supposed to be? You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that – goals. Then maybe its time for you to stand up and do something about it.

Most people are content just to stand around listening for orders. And it isn’t unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader mentality. But maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen – to be the head, not the tail. Then maybe leadership just suits you fine.

Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born with natural talents. However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in leadership.

You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

First of all, let’s define leadership. To be a leader, one must be able to influence others to accomplish a goal, or an objective. He contributes to the organization and cohesion of a group.

Contrary to what most people believe, leadership is not about power. It is not about harassing people or driving them using fear. It is about encouraging others towards the goal of the organization. It is putting everyone on the same page and helping them see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader not a boss.

First of all, you have to get people to follow you. How is this accomplished?People follow others when they see a clear sense of purpose. People will only follow you if they see that you know where you are going. Remember that bumper sticker? The one that says, don’t follow me, I’m lost too? The same holds true for leadership. If you yourself do not know where you’re headed to, chances are people will not follow you at all.

You yourself must know the vision of the organization. Having a clear sense of hierarchy, knowing who the bosses are, who to talk to, the organization’s goals and objectives, and how the organization works is the only way to show others you know what you are doing.

Being a leader is not about what you make others do. It’s about who you are, what you know, and what you do. You are a reflection of what you’re subordinates must be.

Studies have shown that one other bases of good leadership is the trust and confidence your subordinates have of you. If they trust you they will go through hell and high water for you and for the organization.

Trust and confidence is built on good relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics.

The way you deal with your people, and the relationships you build will lay the foundation for the strength of your group. The stronger your relationship, the stronger their trust and confidence is in your capabilities.

Once you have their trust and confidence, you may now proceed to communicate the goals and objectives you are to undertake.

Communication is a very important key to good leadership. Without this you can not be a good leader. The knowledge and technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people.

Also, you can not be a good leader and unless you have good judgment. You must be able to assess situations, weigh the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek out a solution.

It is this judgment that your subordinates will come to rely upon. Therefore, good decision-making is vital to the success of your organization.

Leaders are not do-it-all heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you should not rely upon your skills alone.

You should recognize and take advantage of the skills and talents your subordinates have. Only when you come to this realization will you be able to work as one cohesive unit.

Remember being a leader takes a good deal of work and time. It is not learned overnight. Remember, also, that it is not about just you. It is about you and the people around you.

So, do you have the drive and the desire to serve required of leaders? Do you have the desire to work cooperatively with other people? Then start now. Take your stand and be leader today.

Many people have the impression that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creative genius. Which is Untruel. In fact, creativity is like a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently give out great results. You need to  practice harnessing creative thinking, otherwise this skill will very much atrophy into inexistence. Keep working and this skill and it will soon come to you in a snap.

Well… how do you unleash your creative thinking? Start with becoming a human leech. I’m not talking about  sucking the blood out of every living being , I’m saying that you should take in as much knowledge and learning you can find. Read widely, whether it is  good or bad, and keep your mind open to the infinite possibilities of the universe. The more you learn, the more you’ll want to know, and the more your faculty of wonder will be exercised. Be amazed at little facts that add a bit of color into your life. 

Focus on a creative activity daily. It takes effort. Even doodling is a creative activity. Stop at nothing. People who are just starting out to unleash a little bit of creative thinking in their lives, it is helpful and encouraging to have concrete evidence, that,  Practice drawing for a couple of minutes each day. Bring out your old camera and start snapping photos like crazy. Keeping  a journal and making it  a point to write in it down daily helps. Another great idea is to write by describing something with your five senses. Avoid vague adjectives like “marvelous,” “amazing,” and “delicious.” In not time, you would  built yourself a tiny portfolio, and will  be so amazed at the growth you’ve undertaken after amassing all those works. You’ll never knows, you might actually take to liking those things you do everyday. Soon those things will become a part of you and you’ll be addicted to these creative activities.

Thinking  out of the box helps. Sometimes, constraints are actually  good for you. Limitations discipline you to work within your means. It brings out your  resourcefulness. Creativeness  is great, but limitations enforce discipline.

Try something new daily and let your experiences broaden your perspective. Explore your surrounding. Spend an time in a places you’ve never been before. Chat up someone you meet. Be friendly to people around you. As you get out  of your comfort zone more and more each day, your sense of adventure grows and so does your zest for life. . When was the last time you did something new? If you cannot remember it then  I tell you, you’ve been missing out on an experiences that could’ve added to your growth, emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually. Why don’t you try sky diving today? Not only will you learn,  will also have many thrills to share. Thus putting to  practice your storytelling skills and making you in the lime light.

Embrace insanity. But not to the point of practically admitting yourself into the mental assylum. As John Russell puts it, “Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting.” Each creative thought was once thought of as insanity by other “normal” people at one time or another. Fortunately, that didn’t stop the creative geniuses from standing by them. The fact  is, sanity or being normal confines people to think… well, normally. Withink limits. Creativity is essentially breaking through barriers. It includes the bizzarre and the downright strange. I’m not suggesting that you develop a creative personality.  An example of a creative personality would be George Washington, who often rode into battle naked, or James Joyce, who wrote “Dubliners” with beetle juice for an intense fear of ink, or Albert Einstein, who thought his cat was a spy sent by his rival . Amke sure your creativity doesn’t get you separated  from the real world.  Unleash your creative thinking  and bring a new zest into your life.

The law of attraction has taken the world by storm. Many people are now realizing that they can control their destiny better than they expected earlier. This law of attraction is not a theory that was invented by some anointed people to make money out of us. In fact, it is a well kept secret that the elite had known throughout the ages but was only reveal to the public recently.

Are you aware that one percent of the world’s population controls  ninety six percent of the wealth in this world? Shocking as it may seem, this one percent of the population had used their knowledge to acquire wealth and avoid calamity even in the early years of the 1st and second world war.

So what really is the law of attraction and what makes it so powerful? To answer this question, we must first understand how this universe works. Everything around us is energy. Whether its a solid object or a living organism. They all posses energy. This energy is send back and forth and the universe acknowledges and responds to it. Whether you are happy or sad, your brain sends out electrical impulses. The universe receives these impulses and affirm it with an appropriate response.

Has it ever happen to you that as you are thinking of a particular person, that person suddenly appears before you? Make no mistakes, this is not a coincident. It is the universe’s respond to your thoughts. As you think and believe, you attract an appropriate responds. The next time you think of something negative, be careful. You may just get what you think about.

So how can i use the law of attraction to my advantage you may ask? Well…since the law of attraction is about attracting rather than rejecting. You may want to think about the sun if you don’t want it to rain. ( Instead of saying i don’t want it to rain ) Instead of saying or thinking that i don’t wanna be sick, simply think of yourself being healthy.

Of course, we are not talking psychic power here. Your thoughts must be followed by a responds and then take the appropriate action to achieve it. Having a positive thought changes the entire perspective. If you want something bad and long enough and take the appropriate action to achieve it. Your chances of getting it is almost certain. This is how the universe works, and people who know it always wins.

The final secret to creating massive wealth is to have a winning attitude. Children have fantastic dreams. Nothing is impossible with them and seem to have endless energy pursueing it. However, as we grow older, our dreams are replaced by the realities of responsibility. Constants strife and disappointment makes us cynical and bitter. Our attitude takes a toll and we stop growing mentally.

For most people things generally go downhill from there. Instead of viewing their employment as an opportunity they begin to resent the fact that they work there. Your fellow work mates all complain about the bad pay and conditions and soon you believe them. Instead of looking forward to coming to work you start to feel trapped. The realities of responsibility have once again killed your dreams.

Every year you make the trip into your supervisor’s office to ask for a rise. Sometimes you get it, sometimes not, but you always return to your work buddies and complain about how you were shafted ? again. You no longer want to impress your boss and have been relegated to underachiever status.

If this sounds like you then it’s time to change. If this sounds like your friends then you could need new friends. If this sounds like your boss then you need a new employer.

You have the amazing gift of life. You have the power and deserve to achieve tremendous fortune and prosperity. But you have to go and get it. If it was easy then everyone would do it. It?s not.

Start with your current job.

The best way to implement change is through the path of least resistance. Start coming to work with a refreshed attitude. Become a leader, not a troublemaker. Earn the respect of your peers and subordinates and you will soon see that success finds you.

Once you are successful at work, branch out into other areas using the same success strategy. Have the attitude that you must learn at least one new thing every day. Shut out negative people and images. Look for the positive in every bad story you hear. Become a beacon of light for others.

You can do this. And if you do you will find great success and riches, both monetary and otherwise. Start today. Start now.

Acquiring multiple streams of income -Robert Kiyosaki, author of the excellent book Rich Dad Poor Dad, outlines three types of income and can be summarized by the following : Earn income, Portfolio Income, Passive Income.

Earn Income refers to the income from your direct labour. It involves the time and effort you put in, in exchange for a salary or a fee. Earned income is the most difficult to earn because it depends on how hard you work. It is difficult to acquire more earned income without increasing the number of hours that you work. The problem with earned income is that if you stop work then that income stream dries up. This is a problem you will be faced with in retirement.

Portfolio Income is the return from your investment. It comes in the form of an interest, dividend or even capital gain. It is based on leveraging your existing asset to make them work for you.

Passive income usually comes on a regular basis from the work done earlier. It comes in a form of royalties and rental etc. Are you planning to have enough portfolio and passive income streams to support your lifestyle in retirement once your earned income stream stops flowing?

Where is your largest source of income currently coming from? If it’s earned income, what happens if you lose your job? How long can you survive?Most people think that losing their job happens to someone else. What about if you become ill and can no longer work? Who looks after you then?You must assume that any source of income could dry up at any moment. Having multiple sources of income helps protect you against the potential impact if this occurs. It is not being greedy, it is something you should seriously consider as part of your retirement plan.

Make your home your asset - Is your home an asset or a liability? Have you consider renting instead of owning a house? Renting allows you the flexibility to pursue investments without having a commitment to a long home mortgage.

In most cases people buy a house and then furnish it in such a way that they cannot afford to allocate any money towards investment. With children coming along it becomes even more difficult to save. The only way to stay on top of the rat race is to work harder in their current job or to take up a second one to suppliment the income.

A good way to prioritize your finance is to invest and reinvest your earning rather than own a house first. Once you have mulitiple streams of income from your investment, you may want to consider paying cash to buy your dream home then.

Take a look at these two scenarios. Option 1 is to rent an apartment for $280 per week. Option 2 is to buy a $180,000 apartment, which would take a deposit of $36,000 and then repayments of $245.38 per week for the next thirty years (interest at 8% fixed).

In order for renting to be a better option I need to recover $34.62 per week (the difference between the rent and house repayments).

Remember I need a deposit of $36,000 on the purchase. If I hadn’t used that money as a deposit I could have invested it. If I had of chosen an average investment and achieved a return of 15% per annum, then my return would be $5,400 per year.

The cost of rent above house repayments is $34.62 per week or $1,800.24 per annum. This still leaves me $3,599.76 better off ($5,400 less $1,800.24) each year.

Over thirty years, investing that $3,599.76 at 15% interest (compounding annually) would leave me with an investment of $7,969,515.97. If I was an exceptional investor and achieved a 20% return, my new investment after thirty years would be $29,927,699.19.

Compare that with the value of the apartment after 30 years. Being generous let’s say that the apartment’s value is tenfold what I bought it for. It is now worth $1,800,000. This is still $6,169,515.97 less than my 15% investment option.

So what is the interest I would have paid on the apartment loan over thirty years? $202,792.80? Thirty-seven and a half years rent!

The money you use for renting may not generate you income. But this amount is insignificant compared with the amount of interest that you pay on a thirty year home loan.

Yes, owning a home may be your dream right now. However, learning to put your money into investment and make it work for you before you buy the house alway makes more dollars and sense. This way, you transform your liabilities into asset.

Protecting your asset / investment -You may say, what is there to protect, after all i don’t own many assets. Well, protecting your asset or investment is crucial irregardless of how much you have or how many assets you own. It can all add up to quite a lot if you are not careful. First, you need to protect them from yourself. Yes, if you are not careful or prudent in your spending, you can squander all your hard earn money away in a relatively short span of time without even realising it. By the time you do, it’s usually to late.

In a litigious world that we live in today. It is not surprising that we can get sued for the most trivial matter. If you already own many assets , you need to learn how to protect yourself from such incidents. Try not to put all your asset under your own name. You can use corporations and trust to do this. You may want to find out more of this from your accountant or lawyer.

Protect your assets with insurance. Many people go broke because they do not have adequate insurance coverage. Health is one of your biggest asset. Medical bills today can total up to an astronomous amount . If you don’t have proper insurance to protect yourself, do so immediately. You do not want to be in for a rude shock when you see your medical bill

In summary, it makes sense to protect all your hard earn money and assets. Take appropriate action and insurance to protect them. Think of it as a cost to sleep soundly at night. Careful planning and proactiveness will take you a long way to creating a massive wealth for your future.

Multiply your savings -  Making your savings work for you is one important move to creating massive wealth in the long run. Return on investment or ( ROI ) is the money that flows back to you as a result of an investment. Reinvesting on you return on investment through the power of compound interest is definitely one good way to accelerate your personal wealth.

The two important terms to know when investing is simple and compound interest.

Simple interest is the return that your cash investment generates. It can be calculated by first multiplying your investment by the annual interest rate. This gives you the amount of interest that you will receive each year. If your investment is for less than a year you then need to multiply your annual interest by the number of days of the investment period divided by 365. ( pro-rate )
e.g.  A $2,000 investment at 10% per annum would yield a $200 return at the end of the year. However, if your investment is less than a year, say 200 days. Then you would take the $200 interest multiple by 200day / 365 days ( per year )  which is $109.

At this point, you can alway choose to withdraw the interest and spend it. On the other hand you can choose to reinvest it and let your money snowball.

With compound interest, the calculation gets a little more complicated but  the return is also more interesting. Instead of just returning you a flat rate over the year. Your interest per month is added to the sum and the same interest rate is now base on a bigger sum. Just like the snowball effect.

Understanding the difference between simple and compound interest will help you make a better decision in your investment. Look at the figures in your account and understand how it’s being calculated. Find a better deal if possible. The initial difference may not be very substantial in the beginning. But do your math and you will see the difference it makes over the next decade or two.

Control your expenditure - While this statement sounds more like common sense, many of us are not able to live up to it. No wonder more and more people are in debt and bankruptcy is at it’s all time high. While we all agree that enjoyment is a big part of our living.What is life worth living if we cannot even indulge on things we like. The key point here is about our ability to say no to ourselves and know when to tighten our belt. Take stock of your spending. What is your spending pattern and are you buying what is absolutely neccessary or are you over indulging on yourself?

As per our discussion earlier, we acknowledge that you can spend almost 90% of your income and still have enought to retire if we set aside 10% for our saving for investments. Guard this 10% savings from yourself. Very often we can be  let off guard and compromise on our principles. Set aside the following rules. Be wise with your purchase. Tell yourself, do you really need to buy it now? can you buy a cheaper model or can you borrow it? Keep a written account of everything you purchase. Take stock regularly. You will be surprize how much you have spent. Be responsible. Do not pay your debt by incurring a new one. These days many people have the tendency to settle their credit card debt by borrowing from another card. This way , you will perpetually be in debt if you are not careful. Be realistic. Make sure you can afford it before you buy. Debt is like a silent killer, a thief. Before you know it , it starts to overwhelm you.

Try as far as possible try to pay for what you buy in cash. That way , you have a better visibility and a better feel of your spending. Add up your spending and ask yourself these question.

1. Do i have more money than expected?

2. Do i have less money than expected?

If your answer is more, than you are in control of your finance and that is a good sign. However, if your answer is less, then you will need to evaluate your strategy again and learn how to practice what you have set to do earlier.

Finally, whatever you do. you have to be honest with yourself on what you want to achieve. You will need to plan and strategize your moves and diligently work out your plans. There is no easy solution to everything in life. you have to live up your dream.

What is the law of gestation? Is it another hype up term used by motivational  guru to sell their course or just another scientific phenomenon?

The law of gestation is a natural process of the universe. There is a time for everything and a season for every changes under the sun. A baby takes 9 months to come to full term. A fertilized chicken egg takes about 21 days to hatch. Diamonds take ages to form and so on. Try to short cut this process and you’ll get a premature / dead baby or inferior product. 

A farmer needs to wait and know the right timing to harvest if he wants a bountiful harvest with quality produce. A pilot needs to wait for clearance from the control tower before he can make a safe and successful landing. I can go on forever, but i think you know what i mean. Timing is crucial in every activity we perform daily. Do it in the wrong timing and you ruin your everything you have created earlier.

The law of gestation is an important element to observe and practice in relation to the law of attraction. Do not expect to reap your result overnight or shortcut the process. Doing so may mean faster return but the result is alway compromised. Acquiring wealth also requires a gestation period.  The timing is dependent on our skill and knowlwdge level, awareness, desire, focus and most of all, our faith. Get ready our drenches when we ask God for rain. Faith without action is dead. We must act on our belief. There is no need rush and there shouldn’t be any unneccessary delay either. Be patient, persistant and constantly upgrade ourselves.Compliment the law of gestation and the law will return you with the desires of your heart.

Having a Focus mind is imperative to success. Even if you are skepticle about the power of intention, it isn’t difficult to imagine what a discipline mind can do for you. In reality, it is difficult to have absolute focus on one thing that you are doing without being sidetrack. Ask even the most focus thinker and he will tell you it is difficult not to be distracted in a given situation.

So does it mean it is impossible to be focus? Not quite, a good solution to these problems is to build your mental discipline, your ability to stay focus on whatever it is you consciously decide to think about. We spend a lot of time thinking, yet how much effort do we consciously put in to managing our thoughts?

To begin to train your mind to be focus. You should start by consciously blocking out negative thoughts and indulging in activities that distract you. Watching TV is one example as it is fill with many negative influence which are hard to control once addicted. Learn to be more aware of the things you are doing on hand and concentrate on it rather than be distracted by things around you. When you are lifting weights at the gym, concentrate on the particular group of muscle you are working on. Focus on the contractions not the people around you. Although it is impossible to have 100% focus on whatever you are doing. Your degree of focus will get better with practice.

Negative people never run out of excuses to complain. Staying away from such people will eliminate negative thinking and let’s you focus on the positive. Learn to ” switch channel” quickly by rejecting negativity and focusing on a happy and positive situation. Set a standard and stick to it. Do not let someone’s opinion sway your decision.

Improving you finance. Financial burden can weight you down and distract you from achieving your goals. Consciously work toward your financial goals first. Only when such distraction is remove, can you focus on things that are of more importance.

Last but not least, spend time in your recreation. Having a relaxing moment takes stress away and help you focus on your game. In whatever you do, do it well and with an intention. Since we are not robots and cannot completely shut off our emotions. We need to learn to control them and let our intention dominates our thoughts and action.

Step 10 - Setting aside time for your family. Let’s face it. No matter how successful or rich you are, if you do not have your family or love ones to share your achievement with, what good can it be. In a hectic world of multitasking routine,we need to plan and prioritize our work daily. ( e.g. planning for business meetings, upgrading ourselves, working on projects etc ) Very often, we are quite well organise with activities relating to our work. However, the one thing we tend to overlook sometimes is time spend with our love ones. This is one area we often take for granted.

Spending time with our family gives us a sense of belonging and fulfillment. Make sure you spend at least once a day to have a meal with them. The family meal helps to develop a deep sense of security, establish a routine and is a wonderful place for parents and children to listen and demonstrate mutual respect. Lastly, and probably most important, the simple pleasure of eating together is a time for laughter, fun and sharing love. Although there is no standard to how much time we must spend with our family. A conscious effort to spend quality time with our love ones as in entertainment and fun will help us build and strengthen our bond.

Close family ties is an important part of our total well being. It is the backbone of psychological health. When all things fail, our family is always there to support us. It is something for us to be grateful for.

In today’s ever changing world, we see new designs and ideas popping up literally everyday around us. The ability to adapt and be creative is crucial for our survival. Having a pioneering spirit is the new trend in our new economy. The word pioneer is synonymous with hard work. Going into new frontiers. Opening the way etc. Very often we are overwhelm by term and drop the idea altogether. We will undoubtedly run into people who tell us it is impossible, no one has ever tried that and so on. The truth is all great achievements were once considered impossible until someone broke the record.

Being a pioneer does not mean that you have to conquer Mount Everest or do some life threatening feat. It simply means doing something that no one has yet to attempt or has been overlooked. To be pioneers you have to have a vision for the future. You are willing to bet your live now for what you believe would be a revolution in the future. You have to be creative and highly adaptable.

To be a pioneer. You have to be true to yourself. You’ve got to know what you want and be willing to persevere until you see the results. Even if no one else believe in you. The good news is, you don’t have to travel this journey all be yourself. There are many like minded people and even resources you can tap along the way. Gone are the day’s where pioneers are sojourner who brave uncharted waters and bash through terrains. Today’s pioneers are much more fortunate that their predecessors. The only thing that remains unchanged is their believe and fighting spirit.

Tomorrow we will complete this ten part series on the principles of success with the element on the family. Stay tune and Godbless.

Step 8 - Love what you do. Sounds reasonable but not many of us can claim this phrase. In todays fast pace and stressful society we very often rush through our work to make the timeline rather than focusing on the quality. Much less enjoy our work.
Technically speaking, it is impossible to do a good job if you don’t love your work. Without passion, how can you make stories or images come to life. How can one transform ideas into reality? Without passion, how can you ever become an effective leader to motivate your best and brightest, using all of your imagination and every nurturing cells in your body to create an environment where they, too, can live a good life and achieve fulfillment? Without passion, how would you ever consider taking risk? We know some form of risk is necessary for any business to succeed.

Loving what you do is not about finding the best job in the world. It may not even be making a career out of your natural passion. It’s about having the right mindset and attitude toward something. It’s a decision you have to make, and sticking to it long enough to cultivate a liking for it.

Not everything or everyone in this world is likeable naturally. But you can decide if you want to take the challenge and learn to adapt and cultivate a liking for it. Your natural reaction to negative situation and people is to avoid or even reject them. But you can turn this negativity into something positive by changing your attitude and approach toward it. Bare in mind that it’s not going to happen over night, neither am I saying that it’s going to be easy. But is it achievable. ( you need it. It’s for your own good )

We do not live in a perfect world. The truth is, we will never ever find someone or something that we really like, period. With the right mindset and attitude we can focus on the good side of everything and work on it. Consciously practice positive thinking, refusing to let the negative affect or influence your mood and decision. Learn to relax and be grateful for the people and things around you. Be in constant touch with your spiritual and emotion side. Stay focus and be persistent in your pursuit. Once you have established the lifestyle and habit, you will find that loving whatever you do is not that difficult after all.

Finally, loving what you do matters. It gives you the reason to carry on . The motivation to persevere and the passion to improve. It makes life worth living.

Tomorrow’s topic. How to be a pioneer, So stay tune. ( sorry i jump the gun )  Cheers!!!

Step 7- Believe in yourself. We live a world of constant stress and high expectation. One mistake and we are mark as failure for life. The harshest thing we can inflict on ourselves is to stop believing in our own ability. There are times when we believe in everything and everyone but ourselves. We beat ourselves down to a state of depression. Nothing we do seems rights, the entire world seems to be focusing on our failure. There is no hope anymore and we do not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Picking yourself up is not an easy task. But is it not all together impossible. First acknowledge that you made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, you are not alone. There are people out there who are in worst shape than you. Be grateful for what you have and the right discisions you’ve made. Life is a journey not a destination. What you are facing now is just an obstacle to help you grow stronger not destroy you. Learn to be at peace with yourself. Reconcile your feelings.Remember you are unique. There is only one you in this entire universe . You are special.

There is a powerhouse of potential residing inside you. Stop letting others tell you what is right or wrong. Decide for yourself what you want to achieve in life to be consider a success. Focus your thoughts on the positive and put emotions into it. Visualize yourself in the state of success. This way you add dimension into your thoughts and create the excitement to drive you to achieve your goals. Last but not least is action. Stop procrastination and take action immediately. Do not let the inertia of previous failure prevent you from moving forward.

As the ancient chinese saying goes ” failure is the mother of success.” Without failure, how do you know or appreciate what success is? Learn from your bad experience and improve on it. Never stop learning and alway tell yourself you can do more. Start with little positive thoughts and work on it. It’s easier to achieve small things than sabotaging yourself with unrealistic goals. Be congruent and persistent. Work on your thoughts daily until it becomes a habit. The secret begin every successful person is in their lifestyle. Once you establish it, its your for keeps.

Tomorrow we discuss on how to be a pioneer, stay tune and Godbless.

Step 6 - Take initiative. Ok , now that you know the law of attraction requires you to take action in order to see results. What are you going to do about it? Many a times, we say we are ready to take action but too often we need someone to tell us what need to be done before we take action.Those who take initiative cares about details of implementation, not just the idea or action. Taking initiative gives you a sense of belonging and responsibility , it helps you overcome mental block which prevents you from moving forward.

People who know what they want in life take initiative. They plan and execute their motive with confidence and are not easily distracted by other’s opinion or challenges in life. They are not afraid to make that first move. As my favourite Lao tzu advise say, ” the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.” That first step is crucial to get the ball rolling. Step by step little by little, you’ll move closer to perfection and in no time you’ll reap the results of your desire.

When you take initiative, you are telling yourself and the world that you are responsible and you care. Many people refuse to make the first move for fear of negative comments. They prefer to live within their comfort zone. After all , if it’s not damage why repair it? The truth is most people don’t like to take initiative. However, unless you take action and do something different, you are never going to see a different result. The major difference between a leader and the rest of the pack is that a leader makes the first move and continue to lead the rest despite criticism or distraction. He never gives up and continually comes up with new initiatives if the previous one doesn’t work. Eventually, he hits the jackpot and reaps the prize whereas the rest just watch and wonder.

Hope todays message will spur you to take initiative and make an impact on whatever you are planning to do now. Tomorrow , we’ll discuss about believing in yourself and why this is absolutely critical….although the reasons are quite obvious.

Bless you, and keep working.

Step 5 - Self discipline requires you to be able to take appropriate action regardless of the emotional state you are in. It does not happen overnight, it takes time to build. An analogy of self discipline would be building of endurance. You start off with small steps and gradually progress to a higher level. Your effort has to be consistent and it must not be effected by external conditions such as mood, fatique or time.

It is a common mistake to set your expection too high initially. Since your mind is not condition for the work , you give up when you don’t see the results coming through. Very often we hear people talk about how self discipline a person is or isn’t and we jump to conclusion about the person’s character. Sure, a person’s character and determination will affect his decision to take action in the beginning. However, overtime even a man of great persistent will give up if he doesn’t see any results. Self discipline is not about how well you start , but how you carry yourself through in times of trial and adversary. It is a journey not a destination.
The trick to doing it is take small achieveable steps. Do it consistently without fail until you see results. ( its much easier to do simpler , repeatitive task ) Naturally this result will motivate you to take the next level and over time, a habit is formed and your mind is convinced. A thing to note here is you must not be complacent. Once you have achieve your target, you must also tell yourself you can do more. That way, you stay motivated which is the key to self discipline.

Tomorrow, we’ll discuss about taking initiative and how waiting isn’t going to help.

Cheers and stay tune…..
