WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEART?

We are now about 48 hours away from 2007. Have you taken inventory of the last year? Have you made new goals based on that inventory? Are you giving yourself reasonable goals for the time you want to achieve them in? Are you in touch with your inner spark? It is this spark that releases your drive and gives you the energy to accomplish getting what you want. Have you accepted that a change in your thinking will change your career, your personal relationships, your level of appreciation for your life? It is time to Give Yourself Away. If you think more about giving than getting, you will accomplish more. Practice being thankful. Greatness comes from your contribution to others. We are all connected. You must have conviction if you are to tap into unlimited power. Look not only for your own potential, but the potential in others. Be aware of what causes people to have the responses they do. Every person can find solutions or they can aggravate the situation. Do you want to have a meaningful life? Ask yourself if you want others to have a meaningful life as well. What do you have in your heart? If optimism is not there, then you need to change that now for yourself as well as for others who you do care about. It is a new year. Start the new you
NOW.

DARE TO BE GREAT

We are coming upon a new year. Have you spent time looking back over the past 12 months to see what you have accomplished? Do you think about the moments that you felt a goal was achieved? Close your eyes and enjoy that success.
Give yourself credit for your achievements. If you feel you did not succeed in any way, have you asked yourself why? Have you taken an inventory to see what you could change? It is time to release the patterns that no longer serve you. First you must identify those patterns. You have to release the past and think about how you can move forward. Remember who you really are. Give yourself a deeper sense of acceptance, self-trust, confidence. COGITO ERGO SUM. "I think, therefore I am." Go to the mirror and say those words out loud. You can manifest your thoughts because your thoughts are you. Begin your day this way. End your day this way. It will help you to find the path to your goals. You are not alone. Ask for help if you cannot find your direction. Give help to others who ask of you. In a few days we enter into 2007. If you have not started a list of what you would like to achieve, then do it now.

You Are The Artist

Art is meant to transform us. We are all artists if we chose to see ourselves as such because Life itself is a work of art. Art can be the way you live, the actions you take, what you do every day in the creation of who you are. This is a very powerful thought. In seeing how You can chose to make your life your art, you empower others to do the same. If you are in a situation that does not make you feel good about who you are, why not paint another picture?

LOVE

If you had to choose just one thing that you feel helped you the most with your own success, what would you say it was?

This is a question that was just sent to me. The answer: Love. First, love of myself. I wanted to give myself the life I dreamed of. I did not want to spend time frustrated and angry. I wanted to enjoy my time on the planet. Loving yourself means having respect for the gift of life. Secondly, loving others. When you think about how what you do can serve others as well as yourself, then you are not only strong in your faith that you will succeed, you are kept strong by the notion that what you are doing could help someone else. Third, loving the challenges that every day brings. Many people think they have problems. They are overwhlemed. How different their life would be if they saw their struggles as opportunites to make themselves stronger, wiser, and more compassionate. Like John Lennon said: "Love is the answer."
