THE ENERGY OF YOUR MIND

 

                            

                             WHAT MAKES YOU TIRED

              HERE IS AN ASTOUNDING AND SIGNIFICANT FACT. MENTAL WORK ALONE CAN'S MAKE YOU TIRED. SOUNDS ABSURD. BUT A FEW YEARS AGO, SCIENTISTS TIRED TO FIND OUT HOW LONG THE HUMAN BRAIN COULD LABOR WITHOUT REACHING "A DIMINISHED CAPACITY FOR WORK", THE SCIENTIFIC DEFINITION OF FATIGUE. TO THE AMAZEMENT OF THESE SCIENTISTS, THEY DISCOVERED THAT BLOOD PASSING THROUGH THE BRAIN, WHEN IT IS ACTIVE, SHOWS TO FATIGUE AT ALL! IF YOU TOOK BLOOD FROM THE VEINS OF A DAY LABORER WHILE HE WAS WORKING, YOU WOULD FIND IT FULL OF "FATIGUE TOXINS" AND FATIGUE PRODUCTS. BUT IF YOU TOOK A DROP OF BLOOD FROM THE BRAIN OF AN ALBERT EINSTEIN, IT WOULD SHOW NO FATIGUE WHATEVER AT THE END OF THE DAY.

               SO FAR AS THE BRAIN IS CONCERNED, IT CAN WORK "AS WELL AND AS SWIFTLY AT THE END OF EIGHT OR EVEN TWELVE HOURS OF EFFORT AS AT THE BEGINNING". THE BRAIN IS UTTERLY TIRELESS.. SO WHAT MAKES YOU TIRED?

                PSYCHIATRISTS DECLARE THAT MOST OF OUR FATIGUE DERIVES FROM OUR MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL ATTITUDES. ONE OF ENGLAND'S  MOST DISTINGUISHED PSYCHIATRISTS. J.A.HADFIELD SAYS IN HIS BOOK THE PSYCHOLOGY OF POWER "THE GREATER PART OF THE FATIGUE FROM WHICH WE SUFFER IS OF MENTAL ORIGIN, INFACT EXHAUTION OF PURELY PHYSICAL ORIGIN IS RARE". ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST DISTINGUISHED PSYCHIATRISTS, DR.A.A. BRILL, GOES EVEN FURTHER. HE DECLARES, "ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE FATIGUE OF THE SEDENTARY WORKER IN GOOD HEALTH IN DUE TO PSYCHOLOGIAL FACTORS, BY WHICH WE MEAN EMOTIONAL FACTORS".

]

                  WHAT KINDS OF EMOTIONAL FACTORS TIRE THE SEDENTARY (OR SITTING) WORKER? JOY? CONTENTMENT? NO! NEVER ! BOREDOM, RESENTMENT, A FEELING OF NOT BEING APPRECIATED, A FEELING OF FUTILY, HURRY, ANXIETY, WORRY - THOSE ARE THE EMOTIONAL FACTORS THAT EXHAUST THE SITTING WORKER, MAKE HIM SUSCEPTIBLE TO COLDS, REDUCE HIS OUTPUT, AN SEND HIM HOME WITH A NERVOUS HEADACHE. YES, WE GET TIRED BECAUSE OUT EMOTIONS PRODUCE NERVOUS TENSIONS IN THE BODY.

                    THE METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POINTED THAT OU IN A LEAFLET ON FATIGUE. "HARD WORK BY ITSELF" SAYS THIS GREAT LIFE-INSURANCE COMPANY, "SELDOM CAUSES FATIGUE WHICH CANNOT BE CURED BY A GOOD SLEEP OR REST... WORRY, TENSENESS, AND EMOTIONAL UPSETS ARE THREE OF THE BIGGEST CAUSES OF FATIGUE. OFTEN THEY ARE ARE TO BLAME WHEN PHYSICAL OR MENTAL WORK SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE.. REMEMBER THAT A TENSE MUSCLE IS A WORKING MUSCLE . EASE UP! SAVE ENERGY FOR IMPORTANT DUTIES".

                 "  SOMETIMES PEOPLE LET THE SAME PROBLEM MAKE THEM

                   MISERABLE FOR YEARS WHEN THEY COULD JUST SAY, SO WHAT,

                   THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITETHINGS TO SAY. SO WHAT".

LOVE YOUR LIFE

 

                        

                       TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE

                       WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ANY DIFFIFCULTIES WITH MONEY, A RELATIONSHIP, AN ILLNESS, OR EVEN THAT THE PROFITS OF YOUR BUSINESS ARE DOWN, YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A BAD EVEN IN THE NEWS, OR A PERSON OR SITUATION THAT ANNOYED OR FRUSTRATED YOU, YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE. TALKING ABOUT THE BAD DAY YOU HAD, BEING LATE FOR AN APPOINTMENT, GETTING CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC, OR MISSING THE BUS ARE ALL TAKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T LOVE. THERE ARE MANY LITTLE THINGS THAT HAPPEN EACH DAY, IF YOU GET CAUGHT UP IN TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T LOVE EVERY ONE OF THOSE LITTLE IN TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T LOVE, EVERY ONE OF THOSE LITTLE THINGS BRINGS MORE STRUGGLING AND DIFFICULTY TO YOUR LIFE.

                        YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY. TALK ABOUT THE APPOINMENT THAT WENT WELL. TALK ABOUT HOW YOU LOVE BEING ON TIME. TALK ABOUT HOW GOOD IT IS TO BE FULL OF HEALTH. TALK ABOUT THE PROFITS YOU WANT YOUR BUSINESS TO ACHIEVE. TALK ABOUT THE SITUATIONS AND INTERACTIONS YOU HAD IN YOUR DAY THAT WENT WELL. YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE, TO BRING WHAT YOU LOVE TO YOU.

                    IF YOU PARROT NEGATIVE THINGS AND SQUAWK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU DON'T LOVE, YOU ARE LITERALLY JAILING YOURSELF, LIKE A PARROT IN A CAGE. EVERY TIME YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T LOVE, YOU ARE ADDING ANOTHER BAR TO THE CAGE AND YOU ARE LOOKING YOURSELF AWAY FROM ALL THE GOOD.

                   PEOPLE WHO HAVE GREAT LIVES TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT THEY LOVE. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, NO MATTER WHAT SITUATION YOU MAY BE FACING THE FORCE OF LOVE CAN SET YOU FREE!

                      "THE MEASURE OF LOVE IS LOVE WITHOUT MEASURE".

                                                                        --- SAINT BERMAND OF CHAIVAUR

                                 

                          WHEN YOU'RE FEELING JOYFUL, YOU ARE GIVING JOY, AND YOU'LL RECEIVE BACK JOYFUL EXPERIENCES, JOYFUL SITUATIONS, AND JOYFULL PEOPLE, WHEREVER YOU GO. FROM THE SMALLEST EXPERIENCES OF YOUR FAVORITE SONG PLAYING ON THE RADIO TO BIGGER EXPERIENCES OF RECEIVING A PAY RAISE - ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES YOU EXPERIENCE ARE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION RESPONDING TO YOUR FEELING OF JOY. WHEN YOU'RE FEELING IRRITATED, YOU'RE GIVING IRRITATION, AND YOU'LL RECEIVE BACK IRRITATING EXPERIENCES, IRRITATING SITUATIONS, AND IRRITATION OF A MOSQUITO, TO THE BIGGER IRRITATION OF YOUR CAR BREAKING DOWN, ALL OF THESE EXPERIENCES ARE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION RESPONDING TO YOUR IRRITATION.

                    EVERY GOOD FEELING UNITES YOU WITH THE FORCE OF LOVE, BECAUSE LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF ALL GOOD FEELINGS. FEELINGS OF ENTHUSIASM, EXCITEMENT, AND PASSION COME FROM LOVE, AND WHEN YOU FEEL ANY OF THEM CONSISTENTLY, THEY GIVE YOU A LIFE FILLED WITH ENTHUSIASTIC, EXCITING, AND PASSIONATE THINGS.

                    YOU CAN HARNESS THE POWER OF A GOOD FEELING TO THE FULLEST BY TURNING UP ITS VOLUME. TO TURN UP THE VOLUME OF A FEELING, TAKE CHARGE OF IT AND DELIGHTELY UNTENSIFY IT SO YOU FEEL AS GOOD AS YOU CAN. TO AMPLIFY ENTHUSIASM, REVEL IN THE FEELING IT INTENSELY! WHEN YOU FEEL PASSION OR EXCITMENT, REVEL IN THOSE FEELINGS AND INTENSIFY THEM BY FEELING THEM AS DEEPLY AS YOU CAN. THE MORE YOU AMPLIFY YOUR GOOD FEELINGS, THE GREATER THE LOVE YOU GIVE, AND THE RESULT YOU WILL RECEIVE BACK IN YOUR LIFE WILL BE NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR.

                  WHEN YOU'RE FEELING ANY GOOD FEELING, YOU CAN ALSO AMPLIFY IT BY LOOKING FOR THINGS YOU LOVE. BEFORE SITTING DOWN TO WRITE THIS BOOK, EACH DAY I SPENT SEVERAL MINUTES AMPLIFYING MY GOOD FEELINGS. TO AMPLIFY MY GOOD FEELINGS, I THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I LOVE. I COUNTED THE THINGS I LOVE NONSTOP ONE AFTER THE OTHER. MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, HOME, FLOWERS IN THE GARDEN, THE WETHER, COLORS, SITUATIONS, EVENTS, AND THINGS I LOVED THAT HAPPENED DURING THE WEEK, MONTH, OR YEAR. I KEPT LISTING EVERYTHING I LOVE IN MY MIND UNTIL I FELT AMAZING. THEN I SAT DOWN TO WRITE. IT'S EASY AS THAT TO AMPLIFY YOUR GOOD FEELINGS, AND YOU CAN DO IT ANYWHERE, AT ANY TIME.

THE SECRET OF YOUR GOOD FEELINGS

                            THE POWER OF FEELINGS

                          FEELING IS THE SECRET

                                                                          ---VEVILLE GODARD

                         YOU'RE A FEELING BEING

                       FROM THE MOMENT YOU ARE BORN, YOU ARE ALWAYS FEELING SOMETHING, AND SO IS EVERY OTHER PERSON. YOU CAN STOP YOUR CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING, BUT YOU CAN NEVER STOP FEELING, BECAUSE TO BE ALIVE IS TO FEEL LIFE. YOU ARE FEELING "BEING" TO THE CORE OF YOU, AND SO IT'S NO ACCIDENT THAT EVERY PART OF YOUR HUMAN BODY IS CREATED SO YOU CAN FEEL LIFE!

                     YOU HAVE THE SENSE OF SIGHT, HEARING, TASTE, SMELL, AND TOUCH, SO THAT YOU FEEL EVERYTHING IN LIFE. THEY ARE "FEELING" SENSES, BECAUSE THEY ENABLE YOU TO FEEL WHAT YOU SEE, FEEL WHAT YOU HEAR, FEEL WHAT YOU TASTE, FEEL WHAT YOU SMELL AND TOUCH. YOUR ENTIRE BODY IS COVERED WITH A FINE LAYER OF SKIN, WHICH IS A FEELING ORGAN, SO YOU CAN FEEL EVERYTHING.

                   HOQ YOU FEEL IN ANY ONE MOMENT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT ANYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE HOW YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW IS CREATING YOUR LIFE.

                     POINT OF POWER

                     * LOVE IS NOT WEAK, FEEBLE OR SOFT. LOVE IS THE POSITIVE FORCE OF LIFE! LOVE IS THE CAUSE OF EVERYTHING POSITIVE AND GOOD.

                     * EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO BE, DO, OR HAVE COMES FROM LOVE.

                     * THE POSITIVE FORCE OF LOVE CAN CREATE ANYTHING GOOD, INCREASE THE GOOD THINGS, AND CHANGE ANYTHING NEGATIVE IN YOUR LIFE.

                    * EVERY DAY, IN EVERY MOMENT, YOU MAKE THE CHOICE WHETHER TO LOVE AND HARNESS THE POSITIVE FORCE - OR NOT.

                    * THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IS THE LAW OF LOVE, AND IT IS THE LAW THAT IS OPERATING IN YOUR LIFE.

                     * WHATEVER YOU GIVE OUT IN LIFE IS WHAT YOU RECEIVE BACK IN LIFE. GIVE POSITIVITY, YOU RECEIVE BACK POSITIVITY, GIVE NEGATIVITY, YOU RECEIVE BACK NEGATIVITY.

                     * LIFE DOESN'T HAPPEN TO YOU, YOU RECEIVE EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN.

                      * WHETHER YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ARE GOOD OR BAD, THEY RETURN AS AUTOMATICALLY AND PRECISELY AS AN ECHO.

                       * PEOPLE WHO HAVE GREAT LIVES THINK AND TALK ABOUT WHT THEY LOVE MORE THAN WHAT THEY DON'T LOVE!

                        * TALK ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY. TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE AND BRING WHAT YOU LOVE TO YOU.

                        * YOU HAVE AN UNLIMITED ABILITY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE, AND SO YOU HAVE AN UNLIMITED ABILITY TO BRING EVERYTHING GOOD IN LIFE TO YOU!

                      * LOVE, BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOVE YOU ARE USING THE GREATEST POWER IN THE UNIVERSE.

                   POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

                    YOUR THOUGHTS ARE BOTH THE WORDS YOU HEAR IN YOUR HEAD AND THE WORDS YOU SPEAK OUT LOUD. WHEN YOU SAY TO SOMEBODY. "WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY", YOU HAD THE THOUGHTS FIRST AND THEN SPOKE THE WORDS. YOUR THOUGHTS ALSO BECOME YOUR ACTIONS. WHEN YOU GET OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING, YOU HAD THE THOUGHT OF GETTING OUT OF BED BEFORE YOU TOOK ACTION. YOU CAN'T TAKE ANY ACTION WITHOUT THINKING THE THOUGHT FIRST.

                   IT'S YOUR THOUGHTS THAT DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS WILL BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHETHER YOUR THOUGHTS ARE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE? YOUR THOUGHTS ARE POSITIVE WHEN THEY ARE THOUGHTS OF WHAT YOU WANT AND LOVE! AND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ARE THOUGHTS OF WHAT YOU WANT AND LOVE! AND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ARE THOUGHTS OF WHAT YOU DON'T WANT AND DON'T LOVE. IT IS THAT SIMPLE AND THAT EASY.

                     WHATEVER YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE, YOU WANT IT BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT. TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK ABOUT IT. YOU DON'T WANT THINGS YOU DON'T LOVE DO YOU? EVERY PERSON ONLY WANTS WHAT THEY LOVE, NOBODY WANTS WHAT THEY DON'T LOVE.

                     WHEN YOU THINK OR TALK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU WANT AND LOVE, SUCH AS, "I LOVE THOSE SHOES, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL", YOUR THOUGHTS ARE POSITIVE, AND THOSE POSITIVE THOUGHTS WILL COME BACK TO YOU AS THE THINGS YOU LOVE - BEAUTIFUL SHOES. WHEN YOU THINK OR TALK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU DON'T WANT AND DON'T LOVE, SUCH AS, "LOOK AT THE PRICE OF THOSE SHOES, THAT'S HIGHWAY ROBBERY", YOUR THOUGHTS ARE NEGATIVE, AND THOSE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS WILL COME BACK TO YOU AS THE THINGS YOU DON'T LOVETHINGS THAT ARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR YOU.

                   MOST PEOPLE THINK AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY DON'T LOVE MORE THAN THEY THINK ADN TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY LOVE. THEY GIVE OUT MORE NEGATIVITY THAN LOVE, AND IN DOING SO THEY ARE INADVERTENTLY DEPRIVING THEMSELVES OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE.

                   IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A GREAT LIFE WITHOUT LOVE. PEOPLE WHO HAVE GREAT LIVES THINK AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY LOVE MORE THAN WHAT THEY DON'T LOVE ! AND PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING THINK AND TALK ABOUT THEY DON'T LOVE MORE THAN WHAT THEY DO LOVE!

                       THAT WORD IS LOVE".

                      IN THESE NEXT CHAPTERS YOU WILL LEARN HOW EASY IT IS TO HARNESS THE FORCE OF LOVE FOR MONEY, HEALTH, CAREER, BUSINESS, AND RELATIONSHIPS. WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE INTO WHATEVER YOU WANT.

                     TO BRING A SPECIFIC DESIRE TO YOU, FOLLOW THE SIMPLE STEPS OF THE CREATION PROCESS. WHETHER IT'S BRINGING SOMETHING YOU WANT TO CHANGE SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT, THE PROCESS IS ALWAYS THE SAME.

                             THE CREATION PROCESS

                     IMAGINE IT. FEEL IT. RECEIVE IT.

                  ❤   IMAGINE

                   USE YOUR MIND TO FOCUS ON AND IMAGINE WHAT YOU DESIRE. IMAGINE YOURSELF BEING WITH YOUR DESIRE. IMAGINE YOURSELF DOING THINGS WITH YOUR DESIRE. IMAGINE YOURSELF HAVING YOUR DESIRE.

                  YOUR IMAGINATION CONNECTS YOU TO WHAT YOU WANT. YOUR DESIRE AND FEEINGS OF LOVE CREATE THE MAGNETISM, THE MAGNETIC POWER, DRAWING YOUR DESIRE TO YOU. THIS COMPLETES YOUR PAST IN THE CREATION PROCESS.

              ❤     RECEIVE

                       THE FORCE OF LOVE WILL WORK THROUGH THE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE FORCES OF NATURE TO BRING WHAT YOU DESIRE TO YOU. IT WILL CIRCUMSTANCES, EVENTS, AND PEOPLE TO GIVE WHAT YOU LOVE TO YOU.

                        WHATEVER YOU DESIRE YOU MUST WANT IT WILL ALL YOUR HEART. DESIRE IS LOVE, AND UNLESS YOU HAVE A BURNING DESIRE IN YOUR HEART, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO HARNESS THE FORCE OF LOVE. YOU MUST REALLY DESIRE WHAT YOU WANT, AS AN ATHLETE DESIRES TO PLAY A SPORT, A DANCER DESIRES TO DANCE, AND A PAINTER DESIRES TO PAINT. YOU MUST WHAT YOIU WANT WITH ALL YOUR HEART BECAUSE DESIRE IS A FEELING OF LOVE, AND YOU MUST GIVE LOVE TO RECEIVE WHAT YOU LOVE!

                      WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE IN YOUR LIFE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO IN YOUR LIFE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, THE CREATION PROCESS IS THE SAME. GIVE LOVE TO RECEIVE LOVE. IMAGINE IT. FEEL IT, RECEIVE IT.

                    WHEN USING THE CREATION PROCESS, IMAGINE AND FEEL THAT YOU HAVE WHAT YOU WANT ALREADY, AND NEVER DEVIATE FROM THAT STATE OF BEING. WHY? BECAUSE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION COPIES WHATEVER YOU GIVE, AND SO YOU MUST IMAGINE AND FEEL HAVING IT NOW!

                    IF YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT, THEN GIVE LOVE BY IMAGINING AND FEELING YOURSELF WITH THE BODY YOU LOVE, INSTEAD OF IMAGINING AND FEELING THAT YOU'VE OVERWEIGHT EVERY SINGLE DAY. IF YOU WANT TO TRAVEL, THEN GIVE LOSE BY IMAGINING AND FEELING YOURSELF TRAVELING, INSTEAD OF IMAGINING EVERY DAY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TRAVEL. IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOURSELF IN A SPORT, ACTING, SINGING, PLAYING A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, HOBBY, OR IN YOUR JOB, THEN GIVE LOVE FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO BE BY IMAGINING AND FEELING WHATEVER IT IS YOU WOULD LOVE TO BE. IF YOU WANT A BETTER MARRIAGE OR A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH ANYBODY, THEN GIVE LOVE BY IMAGINING AND FEELING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP.

                    FAITH IS TO BELIEVE THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT YET SEE,

                    AND THE REWARD OF THIS FAITH IT TO SEE THAT WHICH

                    YOU BELIEVE.

                                                                      ----SAINT AUGUSTINE HIPPO

                       WHEN YOU BEGIN WORKING WITH THE CREATION PROCESS, YOU MIGHT TO START BY ATTRACTING SOMETHING UNSUAL. WHEN YOU SPECIFICALLY ATTRACT SOMETHING UNUSUAL, YOU WILL BE LEFT IN NO DOUBT ABOUT YOUR POWER WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT.

                     ONE YOUNG WOMAN BEGAN BY CHOOSING TO ATTRACT A SPECIFIC FLOWER, A WHITE CALLA LILY. SHE IMAGINED HOLDING THE FLOWER IN HER HAND, SMELLING THE FLOWER, AND SHE FELT HAVING THAT CALLA LILY. TWO WEEKS LATER SHE WANT TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE FOR DINNER, AND THERE IN THE CENTERPIECE OF THE TABLE WAS A BOUQUET O WHITE CELLA LILIES. THE VERY FLOWER AND COLOR SHE HAD IMAGINED. SHE WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE LILIES. BUT SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HER FRIEND ABOUT HER IMAGINED FLOWER. AS SHE WAS WALKING OUT THE DOOR AT THE END OF THE EVENING, HER FRIEND'S DAUGHTER SPONTANEOUSLY PLUCKED ONE WHITE CALLA LILY FROM THE VASE AND PUT IT IN HER HAND!

                           IMAGINE, AND AT LAST YOU CREATE WHAT YOU WILL.

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS

 

                                HOW TO BECOME 

                                    SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN

                        YOU ARE YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET. YOUR LIFE, YOUR POTENTIAL, AND YOUR POSSIBILITIES ARE THE MOST PRECIOUS THINGS YOU HAVE. THUS YOUR GREAT GOAL IN LIFE SHOULD BE TO FULLFILL THAT POTENTIAL AND BECOME EVERYTHING YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BECOMING.

                          YOUR ABILITY TO LEARN, GROW, AND FULLFILL YOUR POTENTIALIS UNLIMITED. TODAY, PEOPLE ARE GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE IN THEIR SEVENTIES, LEARNING NEW SUBJECTS AND DEVELOPING NEW CAPABILITIES. YOUR ABILITY TO LEARN AND REMEMBER CAN CONTINUE THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE IF YOU KEEP YOUR BRAIN ALIVE, THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE IF YOU KEEP YOUR BRAIN ALIVE, AND FUNCTIONING AT ITS BEST.

                   YOUR MOST PRECIOUS FINANCIAL ASSET IS YOUR EARNING ABILITY. YOUR ABILITY TO WORK IS YOUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF CASH THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE. YOU COULD LOSE YOUR HOME, YOUR CAR, YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, AND EVERYTHING YOU OWN, BUT AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOUR EARNING ABILITY, YOU EARN IT ALL BACK- AND MORE - IN THE MONTHS AND YEARS AHEAD.

                          YOUR BIGGEST INVESTMENT

                          MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZES THIS. THEY TAKE THEIR EARNING ABILITY FOR GRANTED. BUT IT HAS TAKEN YOU YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO DEVELOP YOUR EARNING ABILITY. EVERY BIT OF EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, AND HARD WORK THAT YOU HAVE INVESTED IN LEARNING YOUR CRAFT AND DEVELOPING YOUR SKILLS HAS GONE INTO BUILDING THIS ASSET.

                      YOUR EARNING ABILITY IS VERY MUCH LIKE A MUSCLE. IT CAN INCREASE IN STRENGTH AND POWER YEAR BY YEAR AS THE RESULT OF REGULAR EXERCISE. LIKEWISE, THE OPPOSITE ABILITY, LIKE YOUR MUSCLES, CAN BECOME WEAKER OR EVEN DECLINE BECAUSE YOU HAVE SIMPLY FAILED TO UPGRADE IT CONTINUALLY.

                  IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR EARNING ABILITY CAN BE EITHER AN APPRECIATING OR A DEPRECIATING ASSET. AN APPRECIATING ASSET IS SOMETHING THAT GROWS IN VALUE AND CASH FLOW EVERY YEAR AS THE RESULT OF CONTINUAL INVESTMENT AND IMPROVMENT. A DEPRECIATING ASSET, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS SOMETHING THAT LOSES VALUE OVER TIME AND FINALLY REACHES THE POINT AT WHICH IT IS "WRITTEN OFF" BEING OF LITTLE OR ON FURTHER VALUE. THE CHOICES IS YOURS AS TO WHETHER YOUR EARNING ABILITY IS INCREASING OR DECREASING MONTH BY MONTH AND YEAR BY YEAR.

                              YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT

                           SEE YOURSELF AS THE PRESIDENT OF YOUR OWN "PERSONAL SERVICES CORPORATION". IMAGINE THAT YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE YOUR COMPANY PUBLIC ON THE STOCK MARKET. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND YOUR COMPANY AS A GROWTH STOCK, CONTINUALLY INCREASING ITS VALUE AND EARNING ABILITY EACH YEAR?

                          OR WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR COMPANY AS ONE THAT HAS LEVELED OFF IN THE MARKET PLACE, THAT IS NOT REALLY GOING ANYWHERE IN TERMS OF INCREASED VALUE AND INCOME? WOULD YOU RECOMMEND STOCK IN "YOU, INC." AS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT? WHY OR WHY NOT?

                                WHAT GOT YOU HAVE 

                           WON'T GET YOU ANY FURTHER

                        SOME PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY VALUE EACH YEAR, DECLINING IN EARNING ABILITY, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CONTINUALLY UPGRADING THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT WHATEVER KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL THEY HAVE TODAY IS RAPIDLY BECOMING OBSOLUTE. IT IS BEING REPLACED BY NEW KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THEM AND SOMEONE ELSE DOES, YOU WILL BE IN DANGER OF BEING OVER TAKEN BY YOUR COMPETITION.

SUCCESS POINT FOR YOUR LIFE

 

                             DECISION MAKING IDEAS

               1. MAKE A DECISION TODAY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BECOME ONE OF THE TOP 20 PERCENT OF PEOPLE IN YOUR COMPANY AND YOUR INDUSTRY. WHAT SHOULD YOU OR COULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?

               2. MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU DO IN YOUR JOB AND THEN IDENTIFY THE THREE TASKS THAT CONTRIBUTE THE GREATEST VALUE TO YOUR WORK ANC COMPANY.

               3. SET A NEW WORK SCHEDULE FOR YOURSELF AND BEGIN TO START EARLIER, WORK HARDER, AND STAY LATER UNTIL IT BECOMES A HABIT.

                4. IDENTIFY THE MOST IMPORTANT RESULTS YOU ARE EXPECTED TO ACHIEVE IN YOUR JOB, AND THEN WORK ON THOSE RESUTLS ALL DAY LONG.

                5. DETERMINE TODAY THAT, FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY WORK ALL THE TIME YOU ARE AT WORK AND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DEVELOP THE REPUTATION FOR BEING THE HARDEST WORKING PERSON IN YOUR COMPANY.

                 6. DECIDE TODAY THAT, FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY WORK ALL THE TIME YOU ARE AT WORK AND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DEVELOP THE REPUTATION FOR BEING THE HARDEST WORKING PERSON IN YOUR COMPANY.

                 7. DETERMINE THE PERSON WHO IS THE BEST DRESSED AND GROOMED IN YOUR COMPANY, AND THEN RESOLVE TO USE HIM/HER AS A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUR OWN APPEARANCE.

                 8. DEVELOP A SENSE OF URGENCY. RESOLVE TO MOVE FAST WHEN YOU ARE GIVEN A JOB OR OPPORTUNITY. THIS CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

                 9. IDENTIFY ONE AREA IN YOUR LIFE IN WHICH YOU NEED TO PERSIST EVEN HARDER TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL, AND THEN TAKE ACTION IN THAT AREA.

                10. IDENTIFY A GOAL IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU DID NOT ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO PERIST THROUGH TO COMPLETION. WHAT STEPS COULD YOU  TAKE TODAY TO SUCCEED IN THAT AREA?

                11. IDENTIFY ONE BIG GOAL IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU DID NOT ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO PERSIST THROUGH TO COMPLETION. WHAT STEPS COULD YOU TAKE TODAY TO SUCCEED IN THAT AREA?

                  12. IDENTIFY YOUR THREE BIGGEST FEARS IN LIFE, RIGHT NOW. WHAT ARE THEY?

                 13. DETERMINE WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS IF YOU WERE GUARANTEED OF COMPLETE SUCCESS. WHAT ACTIONS WOULD YOU TAKE?

                  14. WHAT HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO BUT BEEN AFRAID TO ATTEMPT? WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY IF YOU WERE GUARANTEED SUCCESS?

                  15. IN WHAT THREE AREAS OF LIFE AND WORK DO YOU MOST EXPERIENCE THE FEARS OF FAILURE AND LOSS? WHAT STEPS COULD YOU TAKE IMMEDIATELY TO CONFRONT AND ELIMINATE THOSE FEARS?

                   16. IN WHAT THREE AREAS OF LIFE DO YOU MOST EXPERIENCE THE FEARS CONFRONT THESE FEARS ADN OVERCOME THEM?

                    17. WHAT ONE GREAT GOAL WOULD YOU SET FOR YOURSELF IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD NOT FAIL?

                     18. WHAT WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY IN LIFE IF YOU HAD 20 MILLION IN THE BANK, BUT ONLY TEN YEARS LEFT TO LIVE?

                           MOVE TOWARD THE FEAR

                         WHEN YOU IDENTIFY A FEAR AND DISCIPLINE YOURSELF TO MOVE TOWARD IT, IT GROWS SMALLER AND MORE MANAGEABLE. WHAT'S MORE, AS YOUR FEARS GROW SMALLER, YOUR CONFIDENCE GROWS. SOON, YOUR FEARS LOSE THEIR CONTROL OVER YOU.

                       IN CONTRAST, WHEN YOU BACK AWAY FROM A FEAR-INDUCING SITUATION OR PERSON, YOUR FEAR GROWS LARGER AND LARGER. SOON IT DOMINATES YOUR THINKING AND FEELING, PREOCCUPIES YOU DURING THE DAY, AND OFTEN KEEPS YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT.
