Have you ever thought to yourself, “I just can’t wait for my life to start?”.  If so, you are not alone.  So many people often think that when they acquire a specific item or experience a certain event that they will reach a destination so many of us call “life”.  

Guess what?  Life has already begun and that was the day you were born.  Life is happening as we speak and you will miss it if you waste your time waiting for an outside source to confirm your existence or to validate your worth.  

HE Said (John):

Have you ever wondered why some guys have all the luck? A beautiful woman, a great job, big house, the time to go on vacation or getaways, it seems like they have it all. Just lucky right? What if you could discover a way to get what you want, anything at all?

Well the first step to getting what you want, is to know what you want. A great way to help define exactly what you want is to create a Dream Board. That is a poster board or large piece of paper with images and words of your specific dreams, goals, and aspirations.

Life is a miracle.

We are all miracles.

Imagine one single sperm having to fight its way with millions of sperm cells to fuse with an egg to give rise to a unique being.

From a helpless baby who can’t even crawl to a fully developed thinking person who can achieve greatness.

Our heart beats 24/7.

The wound on our leg heals on its own.

Some can play a racket game or ball game with their hands.  Some can paint with their mouth or feet.

Someone you know was involved in a bad car accident but emerged unscathed.

I Can. Therefore, I Will.

Unleashing the Full Potentials of Your Mind

Before we begin, let me first ask you a simple question. Don’t worry. This won’t bend your mind nor twist your brain. It’s a no-brainer, actually. Ok, here goes: What do Superman, Spiderman, Batman, the X-men, and the Incredible Hulk have in common? See, it’s easy, right? Yes, they all have supernatural powers – special abilities that make them supreme, invincible and indestructible, and which cause them to be recognized as superheroes. They use these special powers to do good things to people and defeat evil entities. But, unfortunately, they are not real. They are only works of man’s creative imagination. They don’t exist in the real world. That’s why, unlike in comic books and movies, when our city is in trouble, there is no superhero to call to save the day. It really seems to be too good to be true, isn’t it?

You worked hard on a project.  You did all that you could.  But, somehow, the end result was a disappointment.  You trained hard for a running event.  You were confident of victory.  But, somehow, you lost by a few seconds.  You attended an interview.  You were hopeful.  But, somehow you did not land the job.

Yes, it can be frustrating.  You have done your part so what went wrong?  Relax.  Stay cool.  It is going to be fine.  Focus on your breathing.  Inhale and exhale slowly.  Relax your heart.  Relax your head.  Relax your shoulders.  Relax your body.  And just let go.  Understand that for everything there is a season.

Why is bringing your “true self” important when it comes to making money, or having a successful business? Wouldn’t you like to be always in the perfect place at the right time? Wouldn’t you like to attract the right people to work in your business? Attract the best customers? Manifest money effortlessly?

Knowing who you are, your own God-given talents and gifts you were born with, not the ones you have acquired or were told you were “supposed” to have, is a surefire way to attract success in all you do. That’s what Ho’oponopono teaches.

Even though you answer “YES,” I’m willing to do what it takes, if you don’t have money, it’s because you aren’t willing to do whatever it takes.

I’ve been paying attention and observing the attitudes of people around me who complain about money. I am sorry for whatever is in me that they don’t have money. As Ho’oponopono teaches me, I take 100% responsibility for that, but I would like to share what I have noticed:

There’s no time like the present to drop the things that have been holding you back. There’s no rocket science or drama involved. It all starts in your head.

1. Give yourself a pep talk.
Studies show that simple affirmations help you bounce back from fatigue, pain, and the blues. Telling yourself “I can do this!” or “I’ll have a great day” can sweeten your disposition better than a sugar rush can. In fact, it’s been said that projecting a positive attitude can restructure your brain to enter a state of bliss even when you’re facing a lot of challenges in your life. It would also help if you could write down your affirmations and post them all over home or workspace. You can read these affirmations each time you feel bad about something. You have to constantly remind yourself that you can accomplish great things.

Taking action to make your dreams come true is the first step between success and failure. Even so, long before gaining success, your actions must be directed toward making almost perfect choices. To start you on the right path, here are four choices.

1.  ATTITUDE vs. NEGATIVITY

Attitude.  When life hands you a challenge, use a positive attitude of faith to carry you through the difficult situations. Look inward for the strength and energy necessary to fight the challenging situations. This is vital for a positive attitude, and the way you think, feel and act.

There is a lot to be learned from sports and especially top athletes that can be applied elsewhere in life.  One of these aspects is periodization.

Before I get into how periodization can be applied to non-physical/non-athletic goals I need to establish what periodization is, just hang in there…I’ll tie all this together at the end.

Basically, periodization is an organized approach to training and competition that involves progressive cycling of various aspects of a training program during a specific period of time. It is a way of alternating training to have the athlete peak at competition.
