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.

Make It Easy on Yourself

Make it easy on yourself
It doesn't have to be difficult
So make it easy on yourself.

I know somebody, somewhere at some point probably told you that you have to work hard.
That success is the end result of hard work and long hours.

I was told that.
I heard it from teachers, friends and relatives.
So I did what they said.
But it didn't work.
All that hard work just made me more tired.
And I didn't have a lot to show for it.

Then I started meeting some really successful people.
I found out that they didn't work as hard as I thought they would.
They just did things differently and stay focused and consistent on what matter the most.

So I started applying their strategies.
My life changed.
Success became easier.
That's when I realized that success can be easy.
When you have the right strategy.
The kind of strategy that stretches you to allow you to enjoy greater success, happiness and achieve your goals. Click here to stretch yourself!

I still work with these strategies every day and I teach my clients these strategies as well.
Yes I stretch myself daily to stay focused and consistent to make sure I'm working at my full potential.
You see it's easy to slip into an old habit and stop doing something that works.
That's why you really have to keep reminding yourself to do the things that work and continue to
apply the right strategies.

I also discovered that the most successful people in the world have to continually remind themselves to stay focused and think about the success they've had. They then build on their success and it gets easier because they keep applying the same strategies over and over.

Now I want you to have the same success.
I want you to stretch yourself to enjoy your life and achieve your goals.

This is the year you succeed.
This the year you achieve all your goals.
This is the year you apply the powerful strategies that lead to success.
Start living the life you want today.
You are a powerful person.
More powerful than you realize.
Stretch Yourself and begin using your power to bring you the success, happiness and joy you want.

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.

Become a Positive Thinker

Become a positive thinker... and that means putting an end to negative thinking.  Positive thinkers have all the fun... they enjoy success, the enjoy life, and even when things don't quite workout they find a way and to push forward.

Why?

Because they have conditioned their mind to not accept nothing less than success.  They don't have the doom and gloom mindset where every little mistake or error is magnified.  They focus on the small successes and move past the little things that don't quite workout.

They don't get crippled by the cannots, they thrive on the why nots.

So become a positive thinker... you'll simply enjoy life a lot more.

Now if you are the type of person that always find the negative in everything, even when things are going good... I mean a chronic negative thinker don't feel bad.  First, you're not alone.  And more importantly, you can put an end to the negative thinking.

And in today’s blog, I'll show you how to be a positive thinker and control the negative thinking that's has been keep you from achieving you goals and being abundant. The best part is once you do this...you have to practice it until it becomes routine so it becomes permanent so that you always do the right things, walk tall, have a smile and get things done quickly and easily.

Start by Eliminating Negative Thoughts

Negative thoughts really have no purpose. They keep you from stretching yourself to your fullest potential.  They don't make you feel good and instead can often lead to anger, frustration, procrastination and will destroy relationships and make you miserable.

Now I know everybody has some negative thoughts from time to time (myself included), especially when people you love bring you their negativity.

But meaningless and negative thoughts, the kind where you worry for no reason, serve no purpose because they don't help you accomplish your goals and they just take your energy.

A mind filled with optimism and positive thinking is a mind geared for success and you will have a better chance of enjoying life on your terms.

So change those negative thoughts. Get rid of them and develop a positive and optimistic mindset. You need to have thoughts that help you achieve your goals, make you feel better, help you find solutions and allow you to enjoy the success you deserve.

For example: instead of worrying about what might go wrong think about what might go right. Think about how things could work out for you. Think about how you can improve your life, or try to find solutions.

When you do this you direct your mind and subconscious mind to regularly focus on the positive things that are going on in your life.

And you also instruct your subconscious mind to create more positive situations and more positive outcomes. When you do this regularly you develop a positive thinking pattern that becomes permanent - it's your new way of thinking and seeing the world (not to mention you'll enjoy life a lot more).

If you constantly focus on what could go wrong - you'll always create and attract negative situations... and what could go wrong will go wrong.

If you regularly focus on how things can improve, and when you constantly focus on positive things - you will attract situations and events that work out for you and you will attract more positive events and people.

Your subconscious mind will always create the situations and events that you regularly think about.  So start replacing those negative and useless thoughts with positive and constructive thoughts.

How do you change your thoughts?

At any point during the day whenever you have negative thought - catch yourself.  What are you thinking?  Are you thinking about the problem or trying to find a solution?  Are you looking at the positive side of that negative thought?

If you find you're having a negative thought, if you're looking at the worst in a situation, if you're focused on what could go wrong or already has gone wrong - then you need to change that pattern of thinking right away. 

Replace those thoughts with positive thoughts and work on a solution.  Pay attention to your thoughts. Recognize them and analyze them.

Then ask yourself: "Does this thought or belief work for me?  Does it help me?  Does it make me feel better?  Can I release this thought or belief?  Why not?"

If the answer is no - then you have to change it.  Write down the reasons why you can’t release, you’ll be surprise at what you find.  And now you can change the thought by simply thinking of the opposite or creating a new thought that helps you create what you want.

For example: If you're constantly thinking about why you're not good enough or why you can't achieve something - change those thoughts. Think about why you are good enough and why you can achieve something.

 At first you may have to push yourself to come up with reasons because you were used to making excuses and blaming others - but the more you do this exercise the easier it gets. And as you apply it regularly you'll find answers and solutions easily.

As you regularly think about why you can do something you'll start to believe that you can achieve that goal. The minute you begin to believe that you can do something your subconscious mind gives you ideas and suggestions to help you take action and creates the situations to help you achieve that goal.

It's that simple and extremely powerful.

Eliminating the negative thoughts has a powerful impact and will allow you to spring out of bed, walk around with a hop in your step and a smile on your face because you'll just be enjoying life.

Try it for a full week and see how you feel...

Your thoughts and beliefs are the fuels that drive your subconscious engine.
Feed your subconscious negative thoughts and negative beliefs and you'll stall your engine. 
That means you won't be able to get to your destination or achieve your goals.
Feed your subconscious positive thoughts and positive beliefs and actions– and you turbo charge yourself to success.

You can eliminate the negative thoughts.
You can begin to improve your life and achieve your goals.
Start eliminating those negative thoughts today one thought at a time.

Become a positive thinker... start today and you'll begin to enjoy what you see in the mirror...

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.

More importantly what do you have to lose?

This is YOUR life – stretch yourself and make the most of it

I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Are You Willing to Stretch Yourself for Happiness

The Challenges is what makes victory even sweeter

It was a normal day like any other day.  Rose at 4 am to work out, meditate, and read something that will inspire me. Hopped in my car to put some time in at a well known non profit organization.  I enjoy my morning commutes.  It is the perfect time to practice being in the present moment and definitely not someplace where you can rush.  The best time to listen to a good audio book or music and watch other people try to make up lost time for hitting the snooze button.

What I wasn’t expecting was the loud bang as I was jolted from behind; the sound of screeching tires; the back end crumpled with the force of impact, thrusting two foot of metal into the back of my car. The steering wheel and dashboard exploded, smoke filled the car as I felt myself being thrown back and forth like a pin ball.  The metal of my car groaned like the final cry of a wounded beast and it slowly came to a halt.

After that all was silent. 

I knew I was lucky to be alive.  As I was pulled from the wreckage, there was only one thing on my mind…..Happiness.

I knew I was lucky to be alive. In the present moment when I laid in the car in smoked filled silence; I was NOT happy about it. 

Just got the car out of the shop; had a well known talk show celebrity come to Atlanta to work with me; everything was looking up.  Everything that I ever wanted or needed was manifesting at the right moment, and in two minutes came to a screeching halt.

But I was happy.

Happiness is an emotional state.  It’s good feeling that comes and goes.  Studies show that you are born with a preset default happiness level.  There are also ways to raise that default happiness level. My own happiness level is four hours of sleep, a good workout, good home-cooked meals, a night out with the amazing ones, dates with my girls, and seeing my clients achieve their success. 

Happiness is a feeling, but it is much deeper than that. Just think about the things that have made you happy and you realize that the things that made you happy probably came without a struggle. 

Matter of fact the things you should feel happy about are things you didn’t have to work for.  Just think about it!

But instead we think about all the things that are not easy to come by that make you stand up, become determined, fight through your fears, and overcome the struggles.  All the bad relationships, living your passion, starting a business, and just doing you, you had to claw, scratch and bite for the rewards.  But when you finally got what you were so determined to achieve, you were more than happy.  You were fulfilled.

When you understand this you will realize that sometimes in order to stretch yourself, you must be willing to be uncomfortable and take on the challenges of life during the process.       

Am I happy that was in an accident?  No.  It certainly throws a monkey wrench in a two car home that is primarily ran by my wife and the girls.  I’m not even sure how I am going to pull this off with the therapy, clients, and my regular routine.  It is definitely a struggle not being able to hit the gym.  

But one thing I can tell you by looking at my past challenges is that I will battle through this challenge and win, taking my life to the next level of success and abundance.   

And that my friends, makes me feel very happy indeed.
