Each and every day, there are people all around the country and world who are living their dreams. Millionaires are made every day. Families are experiencing tremendous relationships. People are becoming more and more healthy. Life-long learners are growing intellectually and improving their chances for success.
The fact is that living the life of your dreams is possible. People prove that every day. Someone somewhere is going to get rich, get healthy and improve their life. My recommendation is this: Let it be you!
Have you ever wanted to make more money? Have you ever looked at someone who has money and wished that it could be you? People think about getting wealthy all of the time, when only a small percentage actually does. But any of the masses could. Someone is going to start a business. Someone is going to make a great investment. Someone is going to begin the journey to great wealth. So why not let it be you?
Someone is going to decide to improve their relationships. Someone is going to enjoy love with their family. Someone is going to schedule some meaningful time with their friends. So why not let it be you?
Someone is going to go back to school to improve their life. Someone is going to become a life-long learner. Someone is going to set a goal to read a book or listen to a CD each week for the next year. So why not let it be you?
Someone is going to look in the mirror and see that they need to lose a little weight and they will make the decision to become healthy. Someone will run their first marathon. Someone will join an aerobics class and improve their health. Why not let it be you?
I think that by now you get the point: Everyday people are improving their lives. Whether you do or not doesn't matter to those who do. They are going to do it, regardless. It is simply a matter of a decision being made. Let that person be you!
You may be asking, "Okay Jim, but how?" Well, let's cover the very simple actions.
The first and most important is to make a commitment to work on yourself. Are you going to improve or stay the same? No matter what you have achieved, you are at a certain point right now. What you have achieved in the past is fine, but it doesn't make a difference for the future. The decision about what you will become is made each day and every day. Each day someone is making the decision to better him or herself. Let that person be you!
The second is to make a plan. Once you have decided to become better you will have to have a plan. It doesn't have to be a long, intricate plan. It can be simple. Save a dollar a day. Walk a mile a day. Read an article a day. That is a simple plan with achievable goals. Someone is going to develop a plan that will take them into the future of their dreams. Let it be you!
The third is to begin to act. All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The key to turning dreams into reality is action. People who have great ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their dreams and ideas are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you.
My encouragement to you is to stop looking at others who live the good life, wishing that you were as well, and instead begin to commit to your improvement, develop a plan and act on it. Someone is going to. Let it be you!
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

4 Steps
I found 4 steps that I trully believe and I am following these steps everyday in my own pursuit of happiness.
They are:
1. FORGIVE
2. BELIEVE
3. DO
4. BE
1. FORGIVE
I truly believe that people won't achieve wealth, inspiration, success and happiness if they don't see themselves worthy of those things. Many people don't see that the problems in their life for not achieving what they want is not on other people's hand but it is on their hands. They don't realise that they have a problem with themselves.
Many people haven't forgiven themselves and accepted themselves as they are. How many times we judge ourselves when things go wrong? How many times we punish ourselves when things don't happen the way we want them to? There is an old saying, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." We have to understand that we have to first truly love ourselves first by accepting ourselves as we are before we can truly love others. It doesn't mean that we accept our weaknesses but have the passion in our lives that we will strive to give the best of our lives. Anyway we live only once, why don't we give it the best shot that we got?
2. BELIEVE
After forgiving ourselves, then we need to start believing. Believe that God wants us to live an abundance life.
We have to know, whether we believe it or not, that whatever we passionately think about or focus on all the time, it is not necessarily positive things, will be attracted in our lives. And this is where the problem lies, most of the times we focus on the things that we don't want to have or do and therefore instead of getting what we want to have or do, we get what we don't want. There is an old saying, "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do."
The good news is that we can change our focus by just merely shifting our thoughts. It does not mean that we have to control our minds. Wow, that would be an impossible things to do but to just merely change our thoughts when we realise that we are focusing on what we don't want instead of what we want. One of the best ways to do it, is by having a vision board or dream board. This is where we keep reminding ourselves to focus on things that we want to have or do. By doing this exercise, you will find yourselves focusing on the things that you want to have or do. I trully believes in the natural law of living, which is the golden rule of all, "What a man thinks about himself, so is he." All this is saying to us that our thoughts are very powerful, more than just a thought.
I can't stress enough about this, if you can get through whatever your beliefs are right now to see or at least accept that your lives have been affected by this law whether you realise it or not, whether you believe it or not.
Final note about BELIEVE, while we are living in this world, why don't we trully believe all the good things that we want to have or do can be ours.
3. DO
After believing, we need to act by doing everything towards your beliefs. Do something about it and start seeing changes happening in your life. I believe that faith without action is nothing. So, we need to act in faith. Take that leap of faith and start walking towards your dreams.
So many people only dream about things they want but never find ways on how to achieve it and make a plan and do the plan. As it is so true that if you fail to plan then you plan to fail. You are guaranteed that you will never achieve your dreams if you never plan your way to your dreams. One more important ingredient in DO is persistence.
If you plan once and the plan fails and then you stop because of it, then you are once again planing to fail. Doing what you believe means keep on doing what you believe. It means never to stop doing it. That's it. If you fall, get up, do it again, fall, get up, do it again, until you succeed.
Life is never easy but life is never hard on us. It will never be more than what we can bear. It is a promise you can keep as long as you don't quit. So, keep Doing what you believe.
4. BE
This is the final step. There will be one point in your life where suddenly life just opens up for you and everything falls into its' places where it belong and life starts to manifest all of the things you have dreamed about. At this stage, this is the harvesting time.
One note to remind you of when you achieve this step, do not stop here. Go back to step one and expand your life more and more. That is what I truly believe in my life.
Many stories I heard, either from a friend of mine or from a book that I read or even from my own experiences, follows these 4 steps. Our lives are in stages and every stage of our lives comprises of these 4 steps whether we believe it or not.
-Unknown
Something else should also be added to the steps above to get what you want in life practice an attitude of gratitude. Be grateful for everything you recieve big or small. Give thanks for everything you recieve. Give thanks for getting up in the morning, for being able to afford food. Give thanks for the air you can breathe. In other words be thankful or grateful for everything big or small. If you practice an attitude of gratitude for everything you will recieve the things you are wanting to have. Practice gratitude for the things you are working toward, the things that are on the way for you, as if they are already yours now.
I hope everyone has a happy, healthy, prosperous 2008. To your success!

Positive Thought for the day
I will be trying to put Postivities on daily. A lot of self help authors say to repeat Postivities daily and put them in the present as if it is already a reality not in the future because the subconsious mind will keep what your working toward in the future. So I will be posting Postivities that you can repeat daily

I know and accept the universal law that sharing my abundance draws more abundance to me.
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.

From The Daily Motivator
Make meaning
You have the opportunity, right now, to make today mean something. Instead of just getting through this day, you can live it in such a way that it positively transforms your life and your world. There is an essential part of you that longs to make a difference. Underneath all the superficial comings and goings of daily life, there is a driving purpose that is your life.
Whatever you may be doing on the outside, there is a way to express the purpose that lives on the inside. The more you discover, explore and stay connected to that purpose, the more rich and fulfilling your life will be.
You can make real and lasting meaning out of the smallest, most seemingly insignificant moment. In this day there are countless chances to do so.
Remember often the wondrous miracle that is your life. Let your thoughts, words and actions flow freely from the valuable, authentic person you are, and great things will surely happen.
This is a day to be filled with meaning and positive purpose. Now is your chance to make it a true treasure.

Prosperity is mine now. I think it, I believe it, I act on it and create it at all times.
When you wake up, don't groan about what's wrong in your life--smile about what's right.
Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?
-Thich Nhat Hanh
From The Daily Motivator
Be the difference
When things around you seem too noisy, hectic and out of control, be extra calm, peaceful and patient. If the people in your life seem too greedy and selfish, that's the time to be extra loving, giving and sincerely compassionate. When the world seems a bit too confused and aimless, be extra focused and purposeful. For the world outside will soon reflect back to you the energy you give it.
If you don't like what you see, you have the opportunity to change it by changing the way you are. If there is darkness all around you, that's an opportunity for you to shine your own special light.
Even a small beacon in the darkness will shine for a long, long way. Choose to be the difference that makes a real difference, and your efforts will bear abundant fruit.
When things around you seem to be at their worst, that's when you can accomplish the most by being your best. That's when you can truly make a valuable, much-needed positive difference.
When trouble and confusion surround you, see the situation as the opportunity that it is. Shine your positive light in the face of negativity, and you will change your world.

12-mile march
I was a new Army basic trainee at Fort McClellan and one requirement was a demanding 12-mile march. We got started at 6 a.m. and were pumped up for the trek. An hour later, feeling the heavy load of our packs, we wondered if the end would ever come.
“Men,” our sergeant yelled, “You're doing a FINE job. We've already covered four miles!”
Revitalized, we picked up the pace.
“And,” continued Sarge, “we should reach the starting point any minute now.”

Winning Motivational
From the book What To Say When You Talk To Your Self
by Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D
Positive Self Talk
Winning Motivational
I know that greatness begins in the minds of the great. I know that what I believe about myself is what I will become - so I believe in the best for myself.
I am practical and realistic, and I keep my feet on solid ground. But I also give myself the freedom to live up to my fullest expectations.
I never limit myself by the short - sighted beliefs of others - instead I open myself up to the broad horizons of unlimited possibility.
When someone says I "cannot," I answer "why not?" When somone says "It`s impossible," I answer that nothing is any more impossible than I believe it to be. And I truly believe that with my individual fortress of faith, with me, anything is possible.
I have drive, spirit, stamina, and endurance. I have a good strong winning attitude about myself and about everything I do. I am practical and realistic, but I also believe in the best possible outcome of any situation.
If I have ever had any doubts about myself in the past, today is a good day to put them aside. It`s a good day to throw out any disbelief that ever held me back.
I know that I am headed in the right winning direction, and I look forward and never back. I have the ability to focus on one thing at a time, so I concentrate my attention on the job at hand - and I get it done!
Today is one of those days when nothing can stand in my way. When I need extra determination, I`ve got it! When I need more energy and drive, I`ve got it! I`ve got the power to get it done and the patience to see it through, no matter what the job or challenge may be.
Right now, even while I am telling myself these truths about me, I know that I can succeed and I am succeeding. At this moment, if I think of any challenge in front of me, I know that I will become even more of a winner because of it.
I keep my chin up, my head held high. I look, act, sound, think, and feel like the winner I am! Anytime a problem starts to get me down, I get myself right back up! I tackle problems and solve them. When frustration or defeat threatens me, I just become that much stronger, more positive, better organized, and more determined than ever!
Right now, today, this moment, I am capable of giving myself the gift of absolute self-assurance, self-belief, and powerful non-stop confidence in myself.
No matter what it is that requires the very best of me, I can do it and I know I can.
Today is a great day. And I`ve got what it takes. So I choose to do it right, do it well! I choose to live today with joy and love.
I know it`s all up to me. One hundred percent! - every bit of it. All of it is in how I look at it and what I do about it! That`s what winning is. That`s why I am a winner.
I set my sights. I keep my balance. I don`t hesitate. I don`t hold back! I know that the world is full of opportunities. Look at what I can do; look at where I can go! Look at what I can do just by saying "Yes!" to myself!
Just look at what I can do today! I am incredible...and today is a great day to show it!

Don't worry, be happy...sound

Gloriously difficult
Gloriously difficult
Life is gloriously difficult. The universe is wonderfully complex. Every new discovery opens the door for even more discoveries. Every challenge you work through enables you to move on to even greater and more fulfilling challenges.
Instead of fighting against the difficulty, celebrate it. Embrace the challenges and you'll find profound value in them.
Instead of being frustrated and confused by the complexity, dive in and experience its richness. Though you'll never understand it all, you can always understand more.
Circumstances change from moment to moment, and life is continually renewed.
Though changes can often be painful, a life with no change at all would be unbearably empty.
With its many ups and downs and twists and turns, life is happening all around you. Remember how truly fortunate you are, take it all in, and make your own special greatness.

Instead of being frustrated and confused by the complexity, dive in and experience its richness. Though you'll never understand it all, you can always understand more.
Circumstances change from moment to moment, and life is continually renewed.
Though changes can often be painful, a life with no change at all would be unbearably empty.
With its many ups and downs and twists and turns, life is happening all around you. Remember how truly fortunate you are, take it all in, and make your own special greatness.
Have a blessed day~Nanette
What would you do today if you knew you could not, Fail?
I recieved this in an email.
What would you do today if you knew you could not Fail? If you had an absolute guarantee of Success (whatever you conceive that to be), what would you do?
How would you act? What would you think? Would you celebrate your victories in advance? Would you enjoy your endeavor more? How would you live your life and how would you conduct your business?
My guess is that if you had such a guarantee, you would do things much differently. You would not let 'fear' of anything hold you back, no fear of failure, no fear of success. You would not let 'doubt' creep into your thoughts and immobilize your actions. You would not compare yourself with others and underestimate your own contribution. If you had some rejection along the way, you would blow it off and go on, because it wouldn't matter because you were going to succeed anyway. If someone doesn't see that, it doesn't hurt you because you have a guarantee of success.
You would proceed and live with the confidence, poise and passion that would absolutely propel you to your dream of success. You would take the necessary and the extraordinary actions to make your dream a reality without any thought because you cannot fail and of course, even when success is guaranteed, action is required.
So why not pretend? Use your imagination. Pretend like you have the ironclad, rock-solid guarantee that you will have the success you desire. It's your fantasy; make it real in your own mind. Play the game and visualize the outcome. Start 'acting as if' you have that guarantee. Then see what happens.

P.S. That Dr. Seuss was quite the motivator, don't you think?

Positive Thought for the Day
I will be trying to put Postivities on daily. A lot of self help authors say to repeat Postivities daily and put them in the present as if it is already a reality not in the future because the subconsious mind will keep what your working toward in the future. So I will be posting Postivities that you can repeat dailyPositivity
Everything in the universe is energy. My positive thoughts, words and actions attract each other bringing prosperity and blessings.
You just don't luck into things as much as you'd like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it's friendships or opportunities.
– Barbara Bush, Former First Lady of the United States
From The Daily Motivator
Choose freedom
Freedom is difficult work. It would be much easier to let yourself be enslaved by the opinions of others, by your desire for comfort and familiarity, or by your quest for empty sensations. Yet freedom it well worth the effort. For it makes a whole world of wonderful things possible.
True freedom demands that you think for yourself and live with an authentic, meaningful purpose that is uniquely you. Those things require effort, commitment, creativity and persistence.
If freedom is to endure in your life, it must be supported by your own responsibility. For without responsibility, freedom quickly decays into meaningless anarchy.
Freedom can be intimidating, because it constantly asks you to make decisions. Yet that is also what makes freedom so liberating, for it gives you the power to choose.
You have within you the desire, the ability and the strength to live with freedom. Choose freedom, nourish and support it, and that freedom will bring real richness to your world.
