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.
