To better understand ourselves and our goals, it is important to take time to see what really drives us. What motivates us to make the differences that we see and want in our lives?

I ask this as some people are motivates towards things whilst others are motivated away from things. It is important to understand this difference in your life for you to make an informed decision.

"It's the little things that make the big things possible. Only close attention to the fine details of any operation makes the operation first class."

John Willard Marriott
1900-1985, Entrepreneur and Founder of Marriott Corporation

As you can see from the above quote, it's all about the way you tackle life, and your attitude to succeeding online. It is really important to ensure that you are doing your very best every day.  I know that you may have experienced some very debilitating issues in the past, but you need to ensure that you do not allow past negative breaks to affect your future. You may feel temporarily satisfied at having a go at someone else, but it does nothing to move you forward. I was taught at a seminar that we have to draw a line of responsibility and really move forward. Always live above the line and accept responsibility for everything in your life.

I think this is a great point to make at this time, when for some people, finances are tight, and things seem to be going pear shaped. I know it is very easy for people who have been very well off to end up in a mess and it is this very time when we need to guard our thinking and ensure that we are working towards our goals, and not away from them.

However, I can hear you saying that everything has gone pear shaped and seems to be out the window, What do we do, and how do we cope?

This is a great question, and one we all really need to ensure that we are focusing on as it is vital to use our skills and ability to think and act, with care and effort, rather than in a state of panic.

Let me tell you that in most cases, the biggest problem arises not from the crisis, but from the panic or fear, the thoughts of all the things that could go so terribly wrong.

This is what we want to ensure we guard against and preserve.

Why do I say this?

I can say this from my personal experience and the fact that we really do need to ensure that we are able to sit down and think of all the desired outcomes.  You see, when we are focusing on the failures and the worst things that can happen we start to bring them into a tighter focus, and thus, they lead to a more determined position in our lives. In other words, if we are worried about losing our homes, we will more likely attract those very circumstances. I understand that and thus, have concentrated on building better pictures and outcomes for myself. You too need to take this angle, if this is your situation.

Now, I do know how hard that can be when you are faced with your family situation, and the banks looming on you.

No matter what, you need to develop a resolve and a determination to get through.

As per the quote below, you will find …

EXPECT AN ABUNDANCE

“The mind is a powerful magnet and as such, it

attracts whatever corresponds to its ruling state.

Expectation dictates what that ruling state will be

and therefore governs what corresponds to the mind

and is attracted into your life. Expectation can be

either a blessing or a curse but either way it is

certainly one of the most powerful unseen forces in

your life.”

John Kanary

Public Speaker, Author, Entrepreneur

In the above example, it is about what you expect subconsciously, and thus, what will manifest for you. 

I highly recommend you spend some time this evening, as an example, and contemplate what you really want, and focus on that. UIn this way, the law of attraction can work towards your desires instead of your fears.

Yes, I know the title is quite a deal, but really, I wanted to ensure that we are really putting all our thoughts and issues into perspective. You know what it's like, when you may at times seem to be overwhelmed with all the events of the day, and any concerns you may have. I think this is where we need to get real focused again, and concentrate on our real pictures or images of the way we want to be and where we want to be.

Let's look at this another way.

How often have you been discouraged when you started something, and then found it was not going as well as you hoped? I certainly know I've been caught out on this one. I think I could say with reasonable accuracy that you have as well, as we all have been caught out from time to time. After all, we are all human. However, I deal with this by writing out my goals, and ensuring that I am very focused, and sure to see them as achievable, and more importantly, as achieved.

I think of a quote I came across to explain this better…

“Not only do affirmations impress the subconscious mind thus producing action in accordance with the Will, but they project outwards from the mind into space, attract forces and help from other sources and bring them to minister and to bless.”
—Henry Thomas Hamblin, Dynamic Thought, 1921

Consider this and think about it…

As a side note, I wanted to let you know about a caricature and artistic site I know of, with works by Murray Smoker. I really enjoyed the pictures.

This is a bold statement, and a true one.

To appreciate it better, you only need to look at some of the inventions that have shaped history, or alternatively, look at the  companies that have been built, that are now a part of part our lives.

Alternatively, consider the below quote from Clayon Moore.

“When we take control of our mental state by deliberately choosing our thoughts and attitudes, we can alter the meaning we associate to the experiences we have and results we see in our life.”

Clayton J. Moore

I really resonate with this one, and wish you to consider it well. You see, everything in,life that occurs to us is something that we associate meaning too.

Furthermore, the thoughts we have are brain waves, and it is now being proved by science, that oiur thoughts really do affect the world around us.

I have certainly found, in my experience, that when I consciously start the day, expecting it to go well, that it usually does, and in the same way, if I expect it will be difficult, it turns out that way.

Let me recall a story from the New York Stock Exchange.

A trader came in one morning, and as he was early, sat near a large statue in the entrance, and thought about his upcoming trades.  He thought about the profits, the good deals that he would arrange, and he pondered, or meditated for a few minutes.

His day turned out really well, and profitable, and he has found this has worked for him, more often than not.

It has been proven that what we think, is what we attract to our lives.

There really are amazing forces at work, and we need to guard our thoughts carefully, and concentrate on the best outcomes for everything.

It has been proven by many people to effectively work.

I have also ensured I have a large selection of high quality personal development books at the Self Help Database to give you a wider view on the value of the mind, and our thoughts.
