Success and achievements are earned - they don’t just happen

During my life it has never failed to astound me just how much people underestimate, fail to treasure, or even remember the successes that they have achieved in their lives.

Each and every one of us has had successes; however too often we either don’t see them for what they are or, if we do acknowledge them at the time, we soon forget. On a bad day we can feel that we never achieve anything at all, or doubt ourselves and our abilities.

I can only think of two things that are not negotiable and they are death and taxes. Other than that everything else is up for grabs. The fact that everything is negotiable doesn’t mean you will get everything just the way you want it. What it does mean is you can at least ask for what you want.

My husband had an unfortunate car accident. He was waiting his turn to make a left-hand turn, and a woman in the van in front of him decided to back up. She didn’t notice my husband behind her. Her foot slipped and she stomped on the accelerator. The van smashed into our car. The good news is my husband is fine. The bad news is the car is totaled.

Stress can be good for you or it can be bad for you. There are both positive and negative stressors in life. Good or positive stressors can be things like going on vacation, putting on a party, a close baseball game, meeting a deadline, getting married, a job interview or winning a lottery. All of the former can cause stress, but usually you get feelings of increased energy and excitement. Good stress can pump you up and help get your creative juices going. Some stress is healthy and necessary.

Quitting smoking is an admirable goal. But you can be sure of running into some problems along the way. It is difficult to be persistent when everything you try seems to fail. And many people who don’t realize immediate results from their efforts are easily swayed toward giving up.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Let’s begin by emphasizing how important it is to your self-worth that you never allow yourself to give up fighting for something you know and believe to be right.

I’ve had the privilege to present “effective Time Management” to several organizations including Bank One. The topic is always well received and elicits spirited conversation about the “how-to” to manage information overload. Let’s face it we are literally assaulted with constant bombardment of information via television, radio, books, magazines, newspapers, and our daily interactions with others. Help! How DO we get a handle on all of this? What’s the secret to keeping your life streamlined and organized? The bottom line of successful time management is successful self management.

You are a perfect being, capable of being, doing and having anything that you can conceive. You are the creator of your own reality and the basis of this creative haven is the Law of Attraction. There are no boundaries or limitations as to what you are capable of, so why do we sometimes limit ourselves and our potential?

When we observe the world around us, one may see lots of fear, worry and powerlessness. Whether your particular struggle is financial, emotional, security, addiction, or whatever else, there are a lot of people struggling with something or another. If you’re not, then you’re way ahead of the pack!

Most of the time we go about our lives thinking we have the one and only true take on reality. However, our personal reality is not the world, but rather how we view the world. Our experiences are not only how we interact with the world, but also how we interpret those experiences.

There are limitless examples of how two people can interpret the same experiences in a completely different manner. We notice different things, place emphasis on different parts of our experience, and come to different conclusions.

In order to manifest your hearts desires you must expect them to come to you. You must believe you are worthy and have full faith that it is already yours. You must think about them and feel the feelings of already having it. You must become emotionally involved with everything you want. You must prepare to receive.

There’s a story about two farmers who both desperately needed rain to fall on their fields. They were both asking and praying for the rain, but still the rain did not come.

We learn so many lessons from those we are around growing up. People basically are products of their environments. Our personalities, beliefs, tendencies, and habits mostly are a result of the influence of the people we interact with on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the lessons we are taught generally do not lead to a happy and prosperous life. It seems that we are ultimately taught to conform and settle into the mold that “society” feels we ought to fit into.
