Forget About Them...

Forget about them. Put them aside.
They don't matter.  All you can do is learn from them and move forward.
But too often you spend too much time thinking about the failures, and you forget to look at the success.

Instead, you may over embellish the failures, especially if you keep thinking about them. They get bigger, they consume you and before you know it you’ll think you're a failure.  And when you start to believe that you can never succeed.

Well, you're not a failure, not by a long shot. And you can succeed, of course you can.
But first you have to stop thinking about the failures. When you constantly think about or dwell on past failures you attract more negative situations that lead to more failures.

I know that's not what you want. But your subconscious mind and your inner powers only respond to what you regularly think about and believe.

So if you constantly think about what went wrong, what doesn't work, or where you failed, you'll only attract more negative situations. You'll only pursue opportunities that lead to failure.

You want success then think about success.  Think about any past success.
Think about any small success.
If you have a job - that's a success.
If you have a family - that's a success.
If you graduated from High School, College, University - that's a success.

Your first job is a success. You have MORE success than you realize.
So now begin directing your subconscious mind and your inner powers to bring you more success - so that you enjoy life.
You can be successful - more successful than you realize... when you change your focus and direct your subconscious mind to focus on your successes

Your success is in your hands.
You have the power to be as successful as you want.
You can and will achieve all your goals.
Believe in yourself and believe in your ability.

Once you do that - success becomes easy.
All you have to do is create the right beliefs, back them with the right thoughts and actions to support your beliefs to deliver the success you want.

So think about what you want.
Think about the kind of life you want.
Now begin to see it. I mean let your mind see it and feel it, really FEEL it.
Now take the first step to make it possible, more importantly so you can direct your subconscious to make that success happen.
BELIEVE that you can and you will.

Whatever it is you want you can achieve.
Whether it's more money, a great relationship, better health, more time with your family, being able to travel, less stress - you can and will succeed when you apply the right strategy for success.

Remember you are a powerful person.
More powerful than you realize.
Direct that power to bring you exactly what you want.
Once you do that - success becomes easy.  It is meant to be easy.
Stop fighting yourself.
Stretch yourself and create all the abundance you want in your life.
Starting Now.
I look forward to connecting with you soon.

They Didn't Know Better....

They didn't Know...They didn't know better.

They said you had to work hard to succeed.

That success only comes with great sacrifice.

That money is not good - you'll have to give up everything just to make more money.

You believed them.

You work hard, you want to succeed but you still don't feel like you're getting ahead.

Maybe you look at your bank account and you wonder when will all that hard work payoff.

Or maybe you want to meet the right person but every relationship fails and you're still searching for that right person.

Somebody probably told you that relationships are difficult and you believed them.

You adopted these beliefs from others, and most of those people (if not all) are not very successful.

They're just projecting their beliefs on to you, and you accept them.

But they really don't know if you can or can't be successful.

Only you get to decide whether you can be successful.

Only you can decide what success means to you.

So take a look at those beliefs that say you can't or that say something is hard to do and put them aside.

Now just think about achieving that goal. At first you'll think maybe, just maybe you can.

But then those negative thoughts creep in.

Those beliefs that you adopted from others take over.

And then you wonder - "what's the point?" The solution - get rid of those beliefs that others gave you.

You don't need them.

They don't do you any good.

All you have to do is take the right steps at the right time for you.

When you start doing the right things at the right time you'll achieve the success you want a lot sooner.

It starts to get easy.

And here's a simple formula that you can follow to make sure you do the right things at the right time

Choose to be successful.

Choose to live the life you want to live.

Choose the relationship you want to have.

Then take action towards learning to be the best in those areas.

Have Faith and don’t listen to the naysayers that say you can’t

And you will succeed.

Sure you may have had some failures.

But you can't get stuck on those failures.

Instead, you should focus on the success you've had in the past. It can be anything - small or big - as long as you felt successful. Doing this creates success energy.

That success energy draws more success to you.

It brings you more situations that lead to greater success.

Your subconscious mind and your inner powers pick up on that success energy and it resonates.

That's how you enjoy more success.

But when you focus on the failures you create failure energy. And you attract situations that lead to more failure.  So focus on your success - no matter how small it may seem.

It creates more success energy that leads to greater success.

Now there's a lot more you can do to achieve the success you want. And there are many ways to direct your subconscious mind and inner powers to bring you the success you want.

Some of them work well and some don't work so well.

In my Stretch Yourself program I've put together a complete system that shows you walks you through creating the success you want in any area of your life.  To learn more, go to www.stretchyourself.org

You see it took me years to put this together.  I spent a lot of time interviewing successful people and see what worked for them and didn’t work and then actually going through what works and what doesn't work.  I made sure I had a something that helps you create effective relationships in all aspects of your life - so that you enjoy the success you want easily.

It's not about working hard, we both know that doesn't work.

It's not about working more or working longer hours - that just makes you tired.

It's about applying the right strategies, and doing the right things at the right time.

And using the power that you have within - your inner powers and subconscious mind to create the success you want. It's a pretty simple process that works but sometimes you need someone to help you stay on course throughout the process.  To learn more visit www.stretchyourself.org

Remember You ARE  a powerful person. 

You have tremendous powers and you have barely scratched the surface of your potential.  Those powers are harnessed in your mind and manifested in your subconscious mind.  Start directing them to create the life you want by taking the first step.

Remember -- you only get one life and one chance.

Make the most of it.

Stop defeating yourself, stop limiting yourself. 

Stretch Yourself and Create all the success you want and deserve starting now.

I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Do What You Love

Today’s blog is about your passion, doing what you love.  You'll enjoy life a lot more when you do what you love. But maybe you can't do what you love.  You're too busy, there's no time.

You think about what you'd like to do.  Then you realize all the things you HAVE to do.
Where's the time? You ask yourself. You just can't do what you love because you haven't got the time. A few weeks go by, then a couple of months and you're still as busy as you were, maybe even more busy. Before you know it the year's gone by (another one is ending soon).

And you still haven't done what you enjoy. You haven't made the time to do what you love.  Or maybe you just forgot what you love doing. Maybe if I asked you: "What do you enjoy doing?"
You might say: "I don't know."

You've buried your passion. When you bury your passion you lose your passion for life.
How can you enjoy life if you don't do what you enjoy? You can't.
Instead you go through life doing the things you don't enjoy. Then you get angry or frustrated.
You want more, you want to enjoy life but you tell yourself you can't.

You're too busy.
You now completely believe that you just don't have the time to do the things you want to do.
You believe that you're too busy and don't have the time to enjoy life.
You believe that you can't enjoy your life.
And so the misery continues.

If you're not enjoying life you're not living. You're just struggling. You're just surviving.
That's not a way to live. You should be out enjoying life.
You should be out doing what you love. But you're not.

You lost that passion.
You let it slip away.
You buried it.
Forgot about it.

And now you're too busy. Too busy to bring it back.
You've put the belief that you're too busy on your subconscious mind.
Your subconscious now thinks that you want to be busy.
Being your good servant, your subconscious goes out and finds ways for you to stay busy.
Even if you didn't have anything to do you'd STILL say you have no time.
Because that's what you believe and so the subconscious keeps creating the situations for you to stay busy.

It's a really vicious cycle that you've created. And if you don't break that cycle now - it will only get worse. You'll miss out on all of life's little pleasures because you're too busy.

Stop feeding your subconscious mind the belief that you're busy.
Give your subconscious new information.
Give it new beliefs and follow up with new actions that allow you to enjoy life and live life with passion. Get your subconscious mind to make more time for you.
So that you live with passion and no longer struggle.

I used to think and believe that I was too busy.
I missed out on a lot because I believed I was too busy.
I would miss my girls’ birthday parties, family and friends events, weddings and funerals because I believed I was too busy.

Then one day it hit me.

If I don't stop I'll never enjoy life.
I was busy but I wasn't having any fun.
I tried to change my schedule.
I tried to slow down.
But I still didn't have any more time.

Then I thought, let's try a different approach.

I changed my thinking and took action towards having time and soon after, automatically changed my beliefs. In a matter of months I went from being super busy to having the time to do the things I loved, like catching up on some good reads and playing basketball again.

I didn't change jobs. I didn't get a demotion.
Things just changed around me. I began getting new opportunities, the kind that let me finish up early and leave me with time to enjoy my life.

I discovered my passions. I now do what I enjoy. I no longer think and believe that I'm too busy.
I put new beliefs on my subconscious mind. Gave it new directions and took action towards my goals that's when everything changed.

You too can do the same.
I know you may have some doubts.
And that's really your mind fighting back, trying to keep you busy. But once you change your thinking you'll change your beliefs. When you change your beliefs and take actions towards what you believe your subconscious mind goes out and creates the situations that reflect your new beliefs.

When you do what you love you'll never feel like you're working.
That's because you'll be "busy" enjoying life.
You can have more time and you can live your life with passion.
Yes! you can discover your passion. It's in you - now let it shine.
That passion will drive you to greater success, and you'll have the time to follow your passion.
Start directing your subconscious mind to uncover your passion.
Let your subconscious bring you more time, more freedom and more joy.

Remember You are a powerful person. You have tremendous powers.
Those powers are in your mind and subconscious mind.
Start directing them to create the life you want. Get your subconscious mind to achieve your goals. Feed your mind and subconscious mind the right information and you'll enjoy greater wealth, happiness, confidence and more success.

Remember -- you only get one life and one chance.
 Make the most of it.
Stop defeating yourself, stop limiting yourself.
Stretch Yourself and Create all the success you want and deserve starting now.
I look forward to connecting with you soon.

What are You Waiting For?...

This is the best time to achieve your goals.


There's no time like the present and now is as good as time as any to get what you want done, to finish up those projects, get that job, start that business, and do what you've been putting off for so long.


But when you finally decide to get started, you somehow find a way to put things off once again.
You convince yourself that you can start tomorrow, or that you need everything to be perfect, or just right, or that you won't succeed, that things won't work out and you put off your success once again.
Then a few years go by, maybe more, you take a look and nothing has changed. You haven't accomplished those goals, you haven't finished those projects, and you're still where you were or worse.


You wonder why things don't get better and the reason is simple - you keep procrastinating. You keep putting things off.  And no matter how much you WANT things to change, they just don't.
It's because your mind and subconscious mind are used to procrastinating.  You've programmed yourself to procrastinate - the more you keep doing it the stronger the programming gets until... it's too late.


It's not too late.  Now is the time to stop that programming and change it.


How?


By re-programming your mind and subconscious mind so that you get things done. So that you finish that project, get that job, start that business, meet that right person and achieve the goals you've always wanted to achieve.


You do that by feeding your mind and subconscious mind new information, new thoughts, new beliefs, new thought patterns that allow you to succeed.  The kind that make you want to get up and get things done right away.
 
When you re-direct your mind, when you get it to focus on getting things done you push your subconscious mind in a new direction and you stop giving yourself excuses, and you begin to want to get more done so that you enjoy the success you want.


This re-programming happens quickly and easily. Whenever you think about putting something off, just do something (take action) to start the process, or finish it.  It’s that simple.
 
Take waking up in the morning for example.  Trying standing up and getting out of bed when you want to get up early.  Or, put your alarm, I mean, opportunity clock across the room so it will make you get out of bed.  And when out of bed stay up for 2-3 mins.  This simple reprogram for one week will change your mind to the point where your body will wake you BEFORE your alarm clock goes off!

All you have to do is work with the things you procrastinate on by taking the first action step.  That’s it. The changes take place as you go about your day.


Take action today. 
Start making the changes today. 
The sooner you start the better. 
Don't put your success and happiness off anymore. 
Don't fall for the old programming that leads to more failure. 
Stretch yourself and create the relationship you deserve to achieve the goals you want to accomplish by starting today.


I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Time flies when your focused...

Wow... time sure does fly... it seems like it was January just yesterday.

Every year we all set certain goals and hopefully you were able to accomplish them.  I know there are all kinds of reasons for not achieving some of those goals... but really those "reasons" are poor excuses that your mind and subconscious mind have been conditioned to accept.

Your mind and subconscious mind are trained or conditioned to live the life you're currently living.

You may want to change, you may even try to change, but you fall into the same pattern of living because that's what your mind and subconscious mind are used to doing.  Your subconscious is really the engine that drives you - it's what makes things happen in your life. 

Your subconscious gets its instructions from the conscious mind. 
Those instructions are what you think and believe. You then take actions that reflect those thoughts - because that's what the subconscious mind thinks you want, so it compels you to take the actions that reflect your thoughts and beliefs. 

You will create what you think and believe.

So while you may want to change your life, your subconscious is used to following the old instructions, or your old thoughts and beliefs - until you change those - nothing will change It's really that simple.

What can you do?

Change the instructions. 
Change the messages you send your subconscious mind. 
Change your thoughts. 
Change your beliefs.

You'll then change your actions and start living the life you want. 

So far this has been a busy but productive year, but then again I say that every year throughout the year, that's just my attitude.  Have there been setbacks? Sure there has been!  But we are capable of overcoming all those setbacks and achieving magnificent things in our lifetime.

Now that half the year is over it's a good time to take a moment to reflect and be thankful for all those terrific things that have happened so far.

You may not be having a terrific year, but that's only because you're looking at what went wrong so far or what isn't working out.  Think about all the great things that happened, the people you met, the work you did, the changes that took place and the opportunities that arrived.

There are opportunities everywhere.

When you think about the positive things that happened and when you're thankful for those positive events, you attract more positive events and people into your life.

Focus on the negative things and you'll attract more of negative situations.

I know you want to enjoy a better life so start by being thankful of all the wonderful things that took place during the year.

Don't focus on the negative events or the setbacks. Know and believe that you will overcome those and achieve greater things in life - if that's what you focus on.

Your mind and subconscious mind are capable of doing and achieving wonderful things - all you have to do is direct them the right way. 

No matter what your situation, there are some positive and wonderful aspects... you just have to see them. Once you do that you begin to push your mind and subconscious mind toward creating a more positive and enriching life.

You may not be able to do this everyday, but if you can do it at least twice a week during the next year... you too will have a spectacular year.

Each night I give thanks for all the wonderful things in my life... 
and each day I wake up blessed with more wonderful things... 
I see them... and they arrive... you too can do the same... start today.

Remember... once you get your mind and subconscious mind working to create what you want... life will become easy, meaningful, and you'll enjoy tremendous success.

I hope you're having a terrific summer – now stretch yourself and make the rest of 2011 your best...

Remember if you don't do anything - if you don't change the way your mind works and direct your subconscious mind to create the life you want - everything stays the same - nothing changes.

This is your life - make the most of it – stretch yourself and create the relationships you deserve

Starting Now 

I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Yes You CAN!

Wow! It's the beginning of February... one month already behind us...

It sure does seem like time is flying... but if you're working toward any particular goals you may think that things aren't changing fast enough...

Let's face it... we all would love to have accomplished our goals yesterday.

If you want to make more money, you probably would like to be a millionaire already.
If you're looking for a new job, you likely wish that you had found it already.
If you want to meet that special someone, I'm sure you would like to be in that relationship already.

It would be great if we could simply think of a goal, snap our fingers and in an instant we achieve it. Or like in the movie, Matrix, just swallow the red pill and in an instant we are living in our accomplishments.

I know there are some who say, that's all you need to do... think about it and it will happen.

Well, that's not the way it really works.

Once you think of your goal you have to train your mind and subconscious mind to help you create or achieve it.

That means giving it the right direction.

The first step is to believe that you have already achieved your particular goal. Begin with the end in mind.

Now that may sound a little complicated... after all how can you believe that you've achieved something that hasn't happened yet?

But that's exactly what you have to do.

If you want to achieve your goals sooner (and I know you do) then you need to think, act and live as though you've already succeeded.

Make this the Year You Achieve Your Goals

Your subconscious mind will do and create anything that you want... all you have to do is give it the right instructions.

Unfortunately that's where most people go wrong.

They focus on what they don't want, what is wrong in their life, what is not working out.

They don't realize it... but they're telling their subconscious mind to create more of what they don't want.

Confused? Don't be. It’s very simple

You see, your subconscious mind follows your instructions. Those instructions are what you regularly focus on and think about.

Think about what's wrong with your life, and you'll get more of the same.
Think about how you can't do something... and you'll encounter setbacks or barriers that prevent you from succeeding.

Think about how you can achieve your goals, why you achieve them, and take action towards achieving your goals and you'll begin to create momentum towards achieving those goals.

It's really that simple.

Your subconscious mind will help you and once you change the way you think, and change those beliefs... because you'll begin to change your actions so that you achieve your goals.

The first month of 2010 is over... and if you're about to give up on your goals (or if you already have) don't... instead get your mind and subconscious mind working for you to help you achieve those goals.

Most people give up too early because they get caught up in why they can't achieve a goal.

Let's face it... we've been told more often that we can't achieve a goal... and few will ever tell you - "yeah, you can do that... yes you can."

The truth is you can do anything you want.
You are a powerful human being capable of achieving terrific goals.
Think of why you can achieve your goals.
Focus on how you can achieve your goals.

Believe that you already have achieved your greatest goals - carry the feeling of success... it's in you.
Everything you want and yearn for is possible... otherwise you wouldn't be thinking of it.
Start thinking put your first steps towards achieving that goal, creating momentum and the right people, situations and circumstances will happen to help you succeed.

YOU have to take action and start NOW.

Your subconscious mind can and will help you succeed - just give it the right information - change it from your worst critic, your backseat driver, your armchair quarterback, to your best supporter.

This is a great year.
This is your best year ever.
You are destined to succeed.
You are more powerful than you realize.
You can do anything you want.
You can achieve all your goals and more...
You can be happy, abundant and successful ...

Remember -- you only get one life and one chance.
Make the most of it. Stop defeating yourself, stop limiting yourself.
Create all the success you want and deserve in life
