From time to time, we all face some kind of a challenge which may make us wonder if we'll ever come through it. You can begin overcoming adversity and turn your adversity into positivity if you choose to look at your situation from a positive angle. 1) Decide and choose your desired outcome What is it you'd like the outcome of your situation to be? Stop and allow your mind to be free of worry and choose your desired results. 2) Fix your mind on your desired outcome Take the limitation off your mind. Don't allow despair and depression to set in.

If you've ever felt the effects of an inferiority complex, you'd know how it affects one's confidence and ultimately one's self-esteem. Inferiority complex usually comes as a result of you comparing yourself to or someone comparing you to someone else or to a particular "standard" of behaviour or lifestyle. We all love the feeling of approval and acceptance.
The path on our journey, as we are working towards and expecting the manifestation of our desire, produces patience and endurance. But how do you keep motivated during the months and perhaps years of hoping and expectation? How do you keep the dream fire alive? Tip #1 - Know that you will have your desire at the right time When you know in your mind that you will have it and release the outcome, it takes the frustration out of waiting.
Judge not and you would not be judged. To judge something is to make or form an opinion of something whether right or wrong. When you judge someone or something, you open yourself to be judged by another based on the measure of your judgment. It comes back to you like the reflection or image from a mirror. Do as a child does, merely observe.
You've been hearing over and over that you should take inspired action. So, what's the difference between inspired action and regular action? Everyday you're taking action. You may be engaged in some sort of activity but the activity still does not bring you closer to your goal. You find yourself doing everything else and being stressed but still accomplish nothing. Difference between inspired action and regular actio So inspired action will be those activities that you take which brings you closer to your goal.
People fall into the trap of being people pleasers because they think they will gain the approval of others and as long as they get the approval of others they feel good about themselves. The desire to be liked, accepted and approved of is at the forefront of this need to please others. This dependency becomes like a drug leaving the individual with a need for a fix every time to feel better about themselves.
If your reason for changing is to please others, then you’re in for some serious disappointments and you’ll be forever changing your life to win the favour of others. For when you think that you’ve finally arrived to where they think you should be, there’ll be something else you’ll have to change in order to receive their praise.
Do you live with a difficult spouse? Are you in a difficult relationship? Is your child giving you 'grief'? How about that pesky neighbor of yours? Yes, the one that's always nosing into your 'business'? How are you dealing with these people? Do you feel like you'd rather go for a walk instead of dealing with their bickering, fault finding and all the other annoyances? Do you feel like you want to throw them out? We all have difficult situations that we have to deal with and overcome in our relationships with others, especially the ones we live with.
Often times we fail to fully attract what we desire because of lack of concentrated focus. When you use the power of concentration, you become empowered from within to manifest your desires. Let's use this popular scientific experiment as an example. When you take a magnifying glass and a piece of paper allowing the energy of the sun to directly focus its rays through the lens onto the paper, what happens? Due to the concentrated focus of the heat from the sun, the paper begins to burn. The more you continue to focus the sun's energy, the more the paper burns.
Ever stopped to wonder why you have the talents that you do? The gifts and dreams you have were not embedded in your make up just for your own enjoyment. You were born for this time period on the earth to make a difference living your dream easily and effortlessly. Some things you do naturally while others struggle to do the same. That's because it's part of who you are; a part of your unique makeup. No one on earth is exactly like you. You are one of a kind. And with this knowledge, you are here for a divine purpose, whether or not you are aware of that.
Many of us encounter financial difficulties because we've not taken the time to closely look at our finances or learn new ways in which we can better our financial position - whether it's saving or increasing our savings, investing or starting up a business.
When you listen to a life-changing seminar, a sermon or read a motivational book, in order to reap the fullest benefits of the information, you need to take it to the next level. Listening and reading is not enough. We need to internalize this information, allow it to become a part of us until we actually own it and manifest the fruit we desire to partake of. Exactly how do we absorb this information into us? 1) Acceptance If you cannot accept the information as truth for you then you'd never apply it and as a result it'd never work for you.
Do you remember when you learned to drive a car or ride a bicycle? At first, it seemed like a difficult task. You had to learn the basic procedures, requirements and theory. Then, you needed to apply what you learned to practical application. No matter how much you knew about driving or riding, you still had to put that knowledge into practical use, and apply the feeling part of it; that's the point where knowledge meets senses, and together, they give you the ability to maneuver the vehicle or the bicycle. You were focused and absorbed by the learning process.
When you see your body through the eyes of the Spirit, you begin to see and treat your body differently. Your body should not take the attention away from who you truly are inside, but it should be seen as a visible means of expression of the Spirit and of your talents, abilities and inspiration. All thought and desires alone without your body remain in the invisible realm. But when the body is involved you enjoy the physical manifestation of those desires.
It's your turn to learn from the Master... and create miracles in your life. Jesus wanted to feed the people because they were hungry. The disciples were conce ed. How can anyone fill and satisfy these people with loaves of bread here in this desolate and uninhabited region? The disciples looked around them - the situation seemed impossible. They looked at the crowd, calculated the cost, and gave a final analysis. In a logical natural sense, it was an impossible situation. Jesus, however, did not focus on the surrounding circumstance.
Because of fear, we are limited in our thinking and therefore limited in our experiences. Take the limits off your mind and free yourself. If you ever allow yourself to feel all the desires of your heart without the inhibition of fear or limiting beliefs, you'll find that your imagination can carry you to the far end of the globe and go places beyond your current location. Did you know that whatever you imagine you can experience? Nothing is too big for you to experience. If you can imagine it, it is already in existence in the unseen world.
Recently our family gathered to watch the movie Ella Enchanted. On the day of Ella's birth, Ella's Fairy Godmother gave her a gift - the gift of obedience. With this gift Ella had no choice but to do what she was asked to do, whether or not she wanted to and no matter how bad the deed was. Ella was still very young when her mother died. But her mother said something very profound to her before she passed on, "No matter what anyone says or tells you to do look to yourself Ella. What's inside you is stronger than any spell."
You've probably heard the term, 'embrace freedom'. But how do you truly do that? First of all, in order for you to embrace freedom you must first believe that you are free. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years. How do you suppose he maintained his sanity for such a long time and rose to the top to become President of South Africa? There had to be something greater than his natural surroundings, his circumstances.
As you quiet the mind and the body you're allowing power from the Infinite Source to empower you from within. Silence in the now is where great power resides. The still small voice speaks loudly in the silence. Wisdom emerges out of the silence. Confidence comes to you as you're strengthened in the silence. You overcome fear and become courageous in the silence. For silence is the dwelling place of the Universal Mind and Universal Power.
The giant within waits for your summon for help. It will not awaken unless you allow it. If you choose to hold on the 'grasshopper mindset' you will not be able to experience the greatness of your giant. The 'grasshopper mindset' and the 'giant mindset' cannot both exist in the same space. One will dominate the other. While one is awaken the other sleeps. It's your choice to turn on the light of the giant within so the darkness of the 'grasshopper mindset' will dissipate. What situation are you dealing with right now?
Have you allowed your fear to grip you to the point of making a situation worse than it really is? Fear has a way of creating more monsters in the closet than what's truly there. As I came closer to my due date for having my baby and realized that any day now I'd be in labor, I felt my fear of the intense labor contractions becoming more overwhelming. I could literally feel the fear in my skin, all over me. The time had come to face my fear, to look it straight in the eye and deal with it.
The success formula, R=IOT, Repetition = Imprint Over Time, can be used to enhance, shape and transform your personal growth, so you experience more love, joy, contentment as well as alleviate stress from your daily life and attract more of the good you desire to experience. Let's look closer at how this is done. Much of our joys and sorrows come as a result of the way we look at and think about things. One person may experience an adverse situation that causes him to look for the positive out of it, learn from it, grow from it and ultimately use this experience to his advantage.

Living in the Power of Now enables you to activate the power that's available to you now. Power does not come to you for a past event. Neither does it come to you for something you're going to do in the future. Power comes to you now! Now, when you need it to carry out the task that's immediately in front of you.

Being more in the present, in the Now, you can be in the constant flow of Infinite Energy to rise above any situation you face now.

Or will you constantly live in the future - that which is not here yet? Your past and your future only exist in your mind. All you have is here and now. Will you give your power to the past, releasing all your energies into something that no longer exists? Will you dwell in fear of the future that has not yet come?
A grasshopper's size is really tiny in comparison to a giant. If you look at yourself with this same perspective in the face of your adversity, you limit and deny yourself of being able to overcome whatever situation you may be going through right now. If you see yourself as being limited and helpless, your belief creates your reality. Yes, you'll find that you'll not want to look for a solution because you think that you can't find a way out of your situation.
If you find you're not having the results you want, then perhaps it's time to check with your belief system.

Some of them you may not realize are there controlling your current outcome and you may be wondering why you can't get beyond where you are right now. It's time to change your belief, change your life.
We've all at one point or another asked, "Why am I here? What's my purpose?" But how exactly do you determine your purpose? Everyone of us came to planet earth for a purpose. You were designed and structured to add value to the earth in the space and time you are here. You may say, "I have nothing special or valuable to contribute." Not because you do not yet see the value in your special abilities, style of doing things and personality makes you insignificant. You may be the one to create a shift in thinking and bridge the gap between the old and the new.

Life with the Spirit is not complicated at all. We usually make things more difficult than it needs to be. So here are 5 simple steps to use to help you get back on track. Key #1 - Ask the Spirit for help

No matter what others have done to you, if you allow these hurts to keep you bound you would have committed the worst offense to yourself. Stop reliving the past each day. It's time move on.

As important as visualization is, you can't just think of your mental image and be detached from it and expect it to be effective. You've got to become one with your visualized image and own it. Let's look at what elements are needed to empower your visualization. Element #1 - Believe You must believe that the image you visualize can be yours, that you can have it become your reality. It's the belief in a thing that vitalizes it and makes it become a part of you. To disbelieve in your mental image, your desire, pushes it away from you. Element #2 - Emotional Connection
The way you see yourself, your perspective of who you are, plays a vital part in the way you act and the experiences you have in all areas of your life.

So I ask you the question, "Are you a grasshopper or a giant?" If whatever situation you encounter you see yourself as being small among the giants, then you're already beaten even before you attempt to step forward.
Have you closed your heart, afraid to let anyone in because you've been rejected, betrayed, let down by those you love and trust?

The majority of humanity on a daily basis experience cloudy/overcast days, with maybe glimpses of sun trying to penetrate and brighten up our lives. But even on those days, the storms created by the mind because of wrong thinking block out the sun and leave a life in darkness - fear and despair. This fear expresses itself in many forms - insecurity, inferiority complex, limited self-belief etc.
Do you know who you really are? Okay, I hear you say an emphatic, "Yes!" But do you really really know who you are? Many of us identify with being our physical bodies - I'm tall, I'm short, I'm beautiful, I'm fat, I'm black, I'm white, I'm Indian, I'm American, I'm Canadian, I'm a doctor, I'm a writer - and the list goes on and on. But these exte als do not identify our true nature. We identify with these exte als because of misplaced identity and hence the reason for many of our inferiority complexes, fears and insecurities.

In order to become more successful at living in the power of now, these 2 important keys unlock the door to attaining this spiritual level of enlightenment. 1) Become more 'now' conscious Develop the now consciousness by becoming more now conscious. Pay attention to what's in front of you, to what you're currently doing. E.g. when you're driving your car, you know your destiny but you need to be present; you need to be conscious now to the road that's directly in front of you, to where you're driving, to the street signs, to what the other drivers are doing and not on the destination.r
For the most part, we know what we would like to do with our lives, what we would change or what we would do differently. But often times that's where it remains; we're left with the feeling of regret or even helplessness not knowing which way to go, what steps to take or know that we could actually get the results we desire. So let's look at how we can become empowered from within and go from desire to action to results. Let me share my story how I get the results I desire.
