“Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.”
― Judy Garland

Pinch yourself.  Can you feel the pinch? Take a deep breath, inhale and exhale.  That right there means you are incredible and you have the potential to rule your world.  You are alive.  Life is a gift.  Do not take the gift of life for granted, because tomorrow you may not be here.  What if you knew that your days were numbered and you only had a limited amount of time left?  What would you do?  The thing that you would do next week, next month, next year; do it now. 


"To change bad habits, we must study the habits of successful role models"-Jack Canfield.

Jack Canfield is the creator of the famous Chicken Soup for the Soul books and he has an inspiring book called The Success Principles.  This is a book that gives concrete definitive guidance on what to do to become successful at whatever you choose to do.  Canfield encourages following in the footsteps of those you admire.  Motivational speaker Tony Robbins called this modeling.  You emulate the behavior of someone who is what you aspire to be.  Anyone can achieve their dreams if they truly want it for themselves.  That's the key, it has to be what you want.  Not what your parents, husband, or friends want for you.  It has to coincide with the core of who you are and what you truly desire.


“Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.” – Tony Robbins

GOAL POWER FUELS PERSONAL POWER

I have traveled a lot in my life and I have met all types of people.  I noticed that the one thing that successful people have in common is that they set goals.  Why are goals so important?  Setting goals gives you focus and organize your time and enables you to map out a plan to accomplishing those goals.

Purpose:  Figuring out your purpose and why things motivate you will go a long way to ensuring you achieve your goals.  The why is just as important as the how.  The motivation of why is the catalyst that creates the action to keep projects moving into the direction of completion.

Map it out:  When you create your goals you must create a plan to achieve the goal. It's important to create a plan and map out your plan to make your dreams come true.

Find your purpose, create a goal, and make a plan to take action to make your goals a reality.  Remember, you get what you give, so give generously.

THE POWER OF ATTITUDE

Perception is the key to analyzing any event.  We all see things from our own vantage point.  How you view your life is the foundation that builds a successful life.  Your attitude will determine a lot, we’ve all heard the glass half full or glass half empty way of looking at things, and it is a good measure to see how the course of one's life will play out. 

Attitude is the first step to changing anything you want.  Taking action is what is actually going to get you to where you want to go in life.  When people come to me and complain about work or situations in their lives and they point out how others are treating them, I remind them that how they react is just as important.  We hear a lot about the morale at work and events and I like to remind each individual person that their personal attitude and behavior affects the morale of any situation.  Before you seek to change things around you, concentrate on changing the attitude within you.

Having a positive or optimistic attitude helps you to achieve more for yourself than a negative or pessimistic one.  Look inside and analyze your attitude towards specific situations, take action to make things happen, and have faith that the universe will give back to you what you give to it. 

When you cultivate and develop a positive attitude, you will acquire a power that is so strong yet humble that it is unstoppable.  The foundation of a successful person starts with authentic positivity.  You get what you give so give generously.

Don't Worry, Be Grateful

PRACTICING GRATITUDE
Best In Self-Help

     Many people dismiss positive thinking as "New age" mumbo jumbo.  They snicker and sneer at the concept of thinking something into fruition.  So, is positive thinking one big joke?

No.  Positive thinking is just the gateway to many techniques that can be life-changing.  The law of attraction, gratitude, and action all work together to lead to a life of success.  Positive thinking is the catalyst that gets the ball rolling in the right direction.  Gratitude is the reason the ball keeps moving.

Here is one of my favorite Gratitude quotes by author Melody Beattie:

     The word Gratitude is not strange to most of us. We all at one time or the other must have come across the word a number of times in our lifetime. You might have probably heard of the adage, ‘Be grateful for small mercies’ or probably the one that says, ‘have an attitude of gratitude’. They just all signify that gratitude is a very important virtue we all should develop.

 One might think, ‘but I always express my gratitude to deserving people’. Yes, I agree with you but it is important to note that gratitude is more than just mere expression, it involves living a life of gratitude. It is not enough to just say the words thank you, it has to do with living by them. Gratitude is not something that should be reserved for situations like getting a new job, graduation ceremonies or in response to a gift received.   You can express gratitude all day, every day for some of the simple but appreciated things that life has gifted us. The fact that you can read this post and understand it is something that you can be grateful for.

I understand that we are not hardwired to expressing an attitude of gratitude, especially during tough situations. It is something that we need to develop just like we develop certain skills. The benefits are numerous.

Tell Me How

Look out for things to be grateful every day:  A lot of people feel depressed on a daily basis because they forget the good things that happen to them but rather focus on the bad things. One of the best ways you can practice gratitude is by finding reasons to be grateful. It could be just for having a nice meal. Practicing this regularly will help change your perspective and when you are positive about life situations, you tend to achieve better. 

Be realistic about your gratitude: Are you one of those that that just express a heart of gratitude because you have been taught and read of its benefits. Learn to make it real. Let it flow from the inside and sooner than expected, it will become a part of you.

Take your relationships seriously: It is a known fact that our relationships with others will help to determine how happy we will be and will be a determining factor for the level of gratitude. Learn to develop healthy relationships and improve your gratitude towards them

Always express your gratitude: Expressing gratitude is not just a courtesy, it entails showing your heart. By doing this, you are obeying the two main principles of practicing gratitude which is to identify the goodwill and appreciating it genuinely.

What Are The Benefits?

Don't Worry, Be Happy!

·         Gratitude takes your mind off your worries and helps you realize how much you have.  You're more blessed than you may think.  

Practicing gratitude is a necessity if you want to live a healthy life. Although sometimes beginning the practice may be difficult. However, when you start it, it has a magnetizing power that will keep you going. All you need to do is to just Start, write down the things you have to be grateful for, feel it in order to make it real and most importantly share it.
