OUR MIND IS LIKE A TIME PIECE Let’s imagine for a moment that we are each equal in some aspects to a chunk of time… we sort of are, right? And let’s imagine that our minds are similar to a fine time piece, because in some ways it is. We are gloriously complex and beautiful in our craftsmanship. And like a fine time piece, our mind goes ticking through our chunk of time, every second a separate function, and for each function there is a result. A tiny piece of time… a tiny piece of who we are. A tick.

What does it take to succeed? How can you move forward - no, take a quantum leap forward - in your achievements, in realizing your dreams? According to some research, a person who grows up in an average, reasonably positive home is told “no” or told what he or she cannot do over 148,000 times before they hit their 18th birthday! The number of “yes’” or encouragement on what they can do is far smaller than the “no’s”, “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” (which are all “no’s”). So wha

THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING ACTIONnnIt can happen to the most determined of us. We have decided on some worthwhile goal that we want to achieve. We have even set down on a nice clean sheet of paper a splendid and well defined way to attain that goal. But then for some inexplicable reason we hesitate, doubts will creep in, and we may even come up with some pretty good reasons why we cannot succeed, and some even better reasons for not doing anything at all. Someone may have whisp

When life's challenges feel all-consuming, it's only natural to yearn for rescue. You might cross your fingers, wish on a star, focus your intent, and hope with all your might that someone or something will swoop in and fix all your problems. Typically, people will look to a romantic partner or an employer offering a dream job to liberate them from their troubles. They may also decide that money, to paraphrase Cindy Lauper, will change everything. The longing to be saved is understandable, but it will prevent you from discovering your power to help yourself.

Effective goal setting can surely be achieved when attention is given to neutralizing emotions. There is evidence that emotions affect the success of achieving goals.

We have all heard of stories of success. We have heard of people becoming millionaires and billionaires. Often we wonder whether these people really did make it starting from nothing or if they went through luxury and comfort to more luxury and comfort. Well this article is about going from rags to riches. I am surprised at the online success stories. I have seen many. Many of these stories however are from people who were managers earning a sizable income, and then they went forward and achieved more success.

I’m an artist by nature, and one of the most effective tools I employ when I set out to achieve a goal is creative imagining. Creative imagining is simply the process of using visuals to bring out your desired outcome. It’s an extremely pleasant way to help you enjoy goal setting. Being able to see the results of your goals in pictures will provide an added incentive for you to work hard towards your goals. When the going gets tough and you’re tempted to quit, all you need to do is refer to these pictures often.

The secret is out on how to achieve life goals… Those who write their goals accomplish significantly more than those who do not write their goals.

So what’s the problem?

What have you done this week that got you closer to a goal, big or small? We all have goals that we set on a number of different levels. Some are simple, but persistent thoughts, others may be mapped out on a vision board or written down on a clearly defined list.

In fact, one of my favorite personally made up quotes

Now that you know how to set fabulous goals that set you up for success, here’s how to turbo-charge them using the law of attraction (see my previous article The Top 5 Mistakes People Make with New Years Resolutions). You can work on one goal or several, although if you have lots and lots of goals, it’s probably best to prioritise them and work on the top 3 or 4 so that you don’t dissipate your energy by focusing on too many goals.

Motivation needs goal setting to accomplish anything in life. You cannot have one without the other. You can be really motivated, but if you do not know why you are motivated then you not accomplish anything. Goal setting needs motivation too because you cannot set a goal and stop at that point. How many times have you set a goal only to give up on it at the first obstacle? This is one of my main problems. I set goals, but do not have enough motivation to accomplish my goal

Here is a common saying – “I can achieve goals for life if I work hard enough.” Do you agree or disagree? Actually, it’s a trick question. Because although it’s true that we are in charge of our destiny and results, it’s equally true that we will only go as far as our feelings, mindset and habits allow. These set of feelings, beliefs and habits dictate how we “do” goals. And if our feelings, beliefs and habits are designed to produce mediocre or poor results, then it really doesn't matter how hard we work.

The role of our choices is central to how much Freedom we experience.

What makes it so hard to stay consistent and follow our dreams? Why does it seem we jump from one task, career, business venture or idea to the next? Having confidence in yourself is important. Practicing commitment and dedication is a key principle but to consistently follow your dream takes believing in what you are going after. When you experience failure, disappointment or things are just not working well for you, sometimes focusing on yourself is the wrong way to work yourself out of a slump. Your dream is still there waiting for you to fulfill it.

I am a firm believe that being successful begins with dreams. Dreams are a very exciting way to spark our creativity and to develop goals. Dreams let us imagine the “what if” ideas, fantasies, and those things people only wish for in life. There is a saying that you should always ...
