Potentially Powerful Questions

I have a few pretty powerful questions to ask you.

Here's the first one:

If you could give up everything in your life in exchange for one thing/experience/achievement... (or if you could sell your soul for one thing) what would it be?

Think about it.

What is it that you desire more than anything else?

And what are you willing to do for it?

Or here's another one:

If you knew that your eventual success was guaranteed, what would you set out to do?

What would you do if you knew that you could not fail?

The answers to these questions can give you insight into what you are truly capable of achieving, as well as how much more you might be capable of doing to get there...

Ponder these questions for a bit and see what you come up with.

What's Your Vision?

We all go through times when things don't work out exactly how we would like them to, right?

So what can you do?

Well, you can do what most people do, which is whine and complain and get angry or frustrated at the world and everyone and everything who didn't do what you decided they should do to make you happy, or... you can focus on your vision.

What do I mean by that?

If you have been reading my articles, or any of the multitude of similar materials out there, you will know all about the primordial importance of having a powerful VISION for your life. A vision, or set of goals, allows you to move forward confidently in the direction of your dreams. As the best-selling book of all time affirms, without vision the people perish.

Those of us without a true Definiteness of Purpose, as explained in Think and Grow Rich (the greatest wealth-building guide of all time), find ourselves wandering aimlessly through life and wondering why things aren't working out better than they are. Well, it's because we have no plan. And, as Napoleon Bonaparte once stated: those who fail to plan, plan to fail.

Now, it does NOT mean that those who DO plan have everything fall into place. No. It simply means that without some type of plan, some type of goal or direction (even one as simple as "being happy") most will be tossed and trampled by life according to whatever circumstances they find themselves born into and the people that they are constantly in contact with.

What all of this means is that if you do not set a direction and goal for your life (a Vision), you will be destined to re-create the same type of life as the people that you spend the most time with.

"You become what you think about." - Earl Nightingale, The Strangest Secret, 1956

If you spend most of your time with people who complain about life and how they never get anything and everyone who has something is a crook, those thoughts will be in your mind as well by default and your life will look a lot like their life.

If you want a better life, think better thoughts. Those better thoughts will lead to better actions and better results. The Universe will also respond to the better vibration of your being (as everything, from sound to light to material things, are all vibrating energy).

With the Universe on your side, you can achieve anything you truly desire.

The easiest way to get started is to first figure out what you truly want out your life (by the way, this is YOUR life, so make the time to really think about this), then find out who are the people that are already living the way you want to live, or close to it, and find out how they do it.

You can do this by reading their books, DVD's, Audio programs and learning from them any way you can, but the greatest way, if possible, is to be in their presence. If you want a better life, get better friends.

Harsh but true.

If the people you are with now are not willing to improve their own life, you must make a decision to surround yourself with people who do.

Find them and spend time with them if you can. Learn everything you can, especially how they think.

In time, you will start to think more like them, talk more like them, act more like them and get more of the same type of results that they have.

Does that make sense?

You become what you think about most.

When things get tough, there is only one solution that will have you moving out of that rut that you are in and making progress towards the achievement of your dreams.

Ask yourself this: What's my Vision?

Constantly bring your vision to the forefront of your mind so that you keep reminding yourself WHY? you are doing what you are doing.

As long as your VISION is clear and powerful, it will push you through anger, frustration and fear into the glory of living your dreams a little bit more... all the time.

So when things don't work out: Focus on your vision.
When things fall apart: Focus on your vision.
When something unexpected happens: Focus on your vision.
When things go well: Focus on your vision.
ect.

In time, your vision may expand as you realise that you can achieve even more than you initiallly thought possible. Allow it. Let it expand. In time you might get a glimpse of greater light through the trees and see your relatively dim existance as possibly getting a little, or a lot, brighter.

Go for it.

As your mind expands, your vision expands and who you believe you can become expands.

You become what you think about most.

Think about something great. More and more...

Have a great new year.
