Finding The Courage to Step Out of Normality

If you have found your talents and strengths, you know you are unique. It gives you
confidence and a sense of stability. That doesn't mean that you go around telling people how
different you are. It is just a recognition of what you brought into this lifetime.

Make a commitment to follow these gifts and talents; let them guide you. Don't let anybody
tell you what you should do. Don't let anybody tell you that you are not good enough to fulfill
your dreams. Identify as much as possible with your dreams, as they are the surest guides in
your life. They will show you where to go.

There is no guarantee at all that everything will be fine and easy when you follow your
dreams. It may be the opposite. You may find yourself alone in the world with the feeling that
everyone else is doing the right thing but you.
Your gifts, talents and strengths are your ultimate potential, but they can also be your pitfalls.
You will need to cultivate them over time. In the beginning they are also your weaknesses
and you will be tested by them. The more you withstand them, the stronger they grow inside
you, until they become your life force.

Contemplate: What if you have chosen your gifts in your last life?

A little story about this:
A soul is ready to incarnate to earth and gets sent to the 'feelings'
supermarket where it can chose what dominant feeling it wants to carry into its incarnation.
The soul enters the store and finds that all feelings except one are sold out for today! Only
one is left and it is labeled Betrayal. As a soul, all feelings are equal and there are no
judgments or preferences. The soul takes Betrayal and enters its life on earth to experience
this feeling in all its variations.

What's the point, you may ask? Knowing your purpose, even if it involves so-called negative
experience at a fundamental level, will free you from becoming a victim. You will have the
understanding that you chose this. Therefore, you can grow with the experience and
ultimately get the teaching you need to learn, the understanding and wisdom you desired to
attain. There are no mistakes, only opportunities. Every single person has a different path on
earth. If you understand your path it doesn't matter what it is, and you will not be jealous
that others have more – which, after all, are only just different paths. You will have a
profound understanding that what you do is exactly the right thing – no matter what it is.
It doesn't matter if you have a small or a big house. It does not matter if you have more or
less money than others. Being on your unique path is where you belong; it is the only way to
get to your unique dreams.

In Summary:
Identifying your own unique blend of dreams and personal talents helps break loose layers of
conditioning and initiates deep changes in your life. Understand that all change, whether
positive or negative, is necessary and will ultimately support you in ways that sustains your
growth. Inner understanding is infinitely more important than external accumulation. Be
nonjudgmental - do not impose artificial standards on yourself or on others.

Find Your Unique Strengths, Gifts And Talents
Most successful people have something in common. They love what they do. You won't find
rich and successful people that hate what they do.
Each of us is unique, having specific talents and gifts. It is something innately inherent in all
of us, a combination of energy patterns leading towards a natural affinity for certain subjects
in life, certain ways of being. One of the most important tasks in your life is to find these
talents and gifts within yourself, which is a recognition of what you have brought into your
creation.

Let's assume that you are given a hammer without having any knowledge of how to utilize
this tool. Stay with me now – this is a gross over-simplification of an extremely important
aspect of your reality. You are given nails but you use the wrong end of the hammer. You
can't see any success with accomplishing your task of hammering in the nails. You have the
tool but not the knowledge of its correct application. Similarly, how can we manage our lives
without understanding the many tools available and their practical applications? You might
even have a moment of enlightened clarity. We can all relate to finally understanding
something that had been tripping us up. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone had shared the
necessary information beforehand – before experiencing frustration and possibly giving up?
Recognizing your own strengths and talents is absolutely essential for any further steps you
take in life. Writing them down should make them more real to you if you’re not used to
thinking about them. If you know your distinctive strengths and talents you should be able to
write them down in a few sentences without having to think too much about the process.

If you are not sure, or you really have no clue, here are a few tips that will help you identify them:

Think back to your childhood:

 What were the toys you liked to play with?

 What were you interested in?

 What did you like best to play?

 What presents did you wish to receive for your birthday and Christmas?

 What did you dream of becoming in your future?

Ask your Closest Friends
Tell your friends that you want to re-evaluate your talents and you need an honest opinion
from them. Make sure to ask your friends to be 100% honest with you. Allow them to take a
fresh look at you and ask them to forget all about what you are doing professionally – keep it
on a personal level.

 What do your friends think you are good at?

 What do they think your talents are?

 What do they recommend what you should do with your life?

Ask Yourself a Few Questions

Take a notebook and read through these questions. Make sure you open up your mind and
allow these questions to solidify in your imagination. Don't take these questions too seriously,
play with them and also write down what comes up spontaneously – these are sometimes the
most profound answers.

These questions are designed to expand your consciousness out of the normal mindset. The best solutions are always found outside the normal realm of thinking. Remember, your mind is part of the collective consciousness; therefore you have access to all information. Your mind is connected to the infinite source of all existence.

 What would you do if you had enough money not to work ever again?

 What were your dreams when you were younger?

 What do you think is impossible for you to do?

 What would you do if you won five million dollars?

 What would you do if this was the last day of your life?

 What would you do if you couldn't fail?

 What are your strengths and talents?

 Do you have a wish but don't know how to fulfill it?

 What do you admire most about others?

 What would your ideal lifestyle look like?

 What does success mean for you?

 What makes you really happy?

 Is there anything that needs to be invented?

 What does a perfect day look like for you?

 What would you do if there were no restrictions?

 What really excites you?

 What would you be honored and recognized for?

 Where do you see your life in ten years?

 If you were immortal, what would you do with your life?

 What needs to change to make this a better world?

 What would you do if you were Superman?

 What are you proud of?

 What would you do if you were the President?

 What would you like to accomplish this year?

 What would you do differently if you could start over again?

The Principles of Successful Manifesting 15

Finding your strengths and talents is like first building the basement for your house. It is your
foundation. It is like the soil from which a strong and beautiful tree can grow. It provides you
with your unique potential. It is the unique gift that came with you when you were born. You
are being asked here to nourish it until it is strong enough to guide you in your life.
Don't waste your time chasing someone else's dream or goal or anything that is not given to
you that you cannot claim first as your own. Use the talents you came in with or the ones you
developed along the way. You may become very good at something but you will never find
true, lasting happiness with it if you can’t own it completely. You will always have to
compensate with something else so as not to feel the void in your life – a void that is only
filled by your own inherent strengths and talents. If you don't know your talents and
strengths, make getting to know them your major task in life.

Use whatever tools you feel comfortable with. Try to find a way to dig deeper into yourself.
This is your life – and you’re worth it! If you feel comfortable with astrology schedule a
private session with a professional astrologer. You will be amazed how much you can find out
about yourself in just an hour.

In Summary:

Recognize your unique blend of talents and gifts is the first step in discovering who you truly
are. Think of your childhood dreams for clues about your early conditioning. Ask your friends
to help you identify your gifts.
Keep a journal of of questions and answers and refer to it often as a way of focusing on the
specific characteristics of yourself and the dreams you hold dear. Learn to use any tool that
helps you find a way to dig deeper into yourself.

The Importance of Knowing What You Want From Life

Most people never think about what they want in their lives. They live without this knowledge
or forethought and become victims of their own circumstance. Work is just about a job – to
get by financially. Life becomes a series of issues like choosing to live somewhere because the
rent is cheap, never understanding how to be in relationships or becoming ineffectual
parents. The list goes on and on. Within yourself there is a craving for more. Is it substance,
contact or a deeper understanding of life? No one has ever introduced such people to the
concept of endless possibility. “As a man thinketh, so is he.”

A major key to manifesting the life you want is to ponder what you want out of life. What is it
that you want to do with your life?
A good exercise is to take a piece of paper and write down the answers to the following questions:

 What is my deepest desire?

 What would I like to accomplish in my life?

 What would I like to accomplish this year?

 Where would I like to be in 5 years?

 Where would I like to be in 20 years?

 What am I good at?

Look into all areas of your life:

 Your profession

 Your relationships

 Your health

 Your financial situation

 How you have fun (how you spend your holidays)

Do you Spend Enough Time with your Goals – Are they Important?

After you have written down a list of what you would like to accomplish in your life, you will
want to set priorities for them. Just take the list that you wrote down and give each topic 1-5
points. 1 being the least important to 5 points being the most. Now you have priorities in
your life, which will help you decide where you want your attention to be.
It is a simple equation: understand simply that you want to spend most of your time with the
number one topic on your list. Spend slightly less time with the number two entry on your list
– and so on for numbers three through five. There is no need to slice up the day in time
slots. Simply by doing this exercise you are programming your consciousness to spend time
according to your list.

Let's assume you would like to find your life partner in the next two years, and that this is
your primary goal, at the very top of your list. When you check your thought process at the
end of the day and you find that you have not spent most of your free time addressing this
goal, you have a misalignment, and you may never reach your goal. When this happens
simply recognize it and adjust accordingly.

Working all day only to sit on your couch and watch TV will not get you where you want to
be. You must take action to manifest your goal(s), for example:

 Take action by signing up for a dance class

 Book a weekend seminar on a subject that intrigues you

 Attend a workshop that focuses on your interest

 Spend time at places where you can meet people

If your goal happens to be that you want to be a millionaire within five years, and you are
spending only five minutes of your time each day to accomplish this goal, then don't be
surprised if your financial situation never changes.

There is another important aspect of manifestation here that requires consistency. Let's
assume you have made your priority list and everything on your list feels good so far. It is
very important that you are in emotional agreement with your goals – they must feel right to
you. If you simply create goals in your mind that are not of value to you then you will find
yourself having a hard time working to achieve them.

What happens with most people's scenario is that they have a goal that feels right for them,
then they start working on their goal. In other words, they put their attention into making
their goal a reality. A few weeks pass by and nothing happens. Now discouragement sets in
and the goal somehow seems unreachable, the motivation is down to zero.

This is the point where you must feel your discouragement.
Don't just put it away or ignore it – face it as completely and consciously as you can. This might be unpleasant for you but it will help you get closer to your goal. How is this? When you want to change your reality you obviously need to do something differently than what you have done before. So this is where the reality check comes in. You look around and cannot see any change. But changes may have already occurred in your thinking and behavior. You may have set things in motion that you cannot yet see.

Discouragement sets in when you assume that things should be happening sooner than you
are ready for them. Remember – there are no unrealistic goals, only unrealistic time frames.
So feel your discouragement and let it dissolve. Look at what you have done and realign your
strategies. If one way does not lead to success don't give up at that point – simply try
another. If you stick to a goal you will reach it.

Sometimes you may push too hard when you just need to let go and take the pressure off.
You doubt yourself at this point, believing there is nothing you can accomplish. Go to the
place in your mind where you know you can't fail. Reading a book or watching a motivational
movie may help to get you realigned with your powerful source.

In Summary
Clearly identifying what you want out of life supports your ability to manifest from your true
self. The process takes both a commitment in time and a sense of respect for your goals.
Creating a priority list helps identify your goals and find ways to take action, two very
important aspects of manifesting what you want.

The Principles Of Successfull Manifestation

noreply@blogger.com (Dhileep) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 05:58:00 +0000

What is the Manifesting Process?

Where does it initially come from:
Desire?

Wanting something?

Bettering ourselves?

Take a good look at your life right now.
Where do you live?
What does your furniture look like?
What kind of car do you drive?
How much money is in your bank account?
Look in the mirror – how do you look?

Everything has been manifested one way or the other, by you. You may not be aware of how far-reaching your ability to manifest truly is in all its aspects.
Have My Thoughts Created All This?

Yes! Whatever you see in the physical universe has been created in one way or the other by
your thoughts. Your thoughts are the blueprints of what later becomes physical form.
Everything starts with an idea, which is a thought. That's why it is crucial to pay attention to
your thoughts.

If you worry about getting all those bills paid you will create more of the same thing, simply
because you have thought about it. Your thoughts are nothing more than frequencies or
vibrations that resonate with similar vibrations already existing. Place two guitars side by side
and pluck a string on one. The string on the other guitar will start vibrating, even though you
haven't touched it. It is the principle of resonance. Fascinating, isn't it?

You want to be able to control your thoughts, given that they create your reality. If you can
control your thoughts, you can control what you want to create and manifest in your life. If
you can't control your thoughts, things will manifest that seem random and unconnected to
you – and they are – they are actually manifested from other people.

Your consciousness is like a radio station. You can send signals and programs and you can
receive signals and programs. Sometimes you may want to receive and sometimes you may
want to send. To know when to send and when to receive is one of the greatest success
factors in life. It is the balance of knowing when to create and when to experience. You
cannot constantly create for you would miss out on the other part of the experience. On the
other hand, if you only experience things, you will never get to manifest anything.
Another way of putting it would be responsive responsibility – the ability to consciously
respond. In every moment, you have a choice about what you want to do, and what you
want to decide. If you don't exercise this power nothing happens in your life – at least not
what you want. This brings us to the next topic.

In Summary
Happiness is the state of being of our true self, which we have deeply recognized from birth.
We lose sight of the source of our happiness through a variety of cultural, social, educational,
environmental and relational conditioning.
When we respond to life from our true selves rather than from our conditioned selves, we are
able to manifest what we want.

Exploring the Source of Happiness
Every single person on this planet is striving to be happy. This is the state of being that we all
know from the time of our birth. It is a state of being that we recognize as our true self –
who we deeply are.

Now, for most of us, this happiness doesn't last. It gets replaced by a striving force to
survive, which feels more like the opposite of being happy. The reason we are doing this is
astonishingly simple – because we are told to do so.

 Our heritage tells us what to think and feel

 Our government tells us what to think and feel

 Our society tells us what to think and feel

Our current world view is determined by a centuries old paradigm – Newton's world view of
the universe as a giant clock works is studied, as it has been for centuries, in our schools.
This world-view teaches us that we humans operate similarly to a mechanical clock. This view
teaches that everything is ruled by cause and effect, and almost everything can be replaced
when it's damaged. In addition, we are taught the concept of the survival of the fittest.
Together, these two ideas condition us to accept that people, like animals, must function in a
state of mechanical perfection or be replaced by more perfectly functioning components in
the system.

These old concepts have led to a society that is completely self-centered, ego-driven,
irresponsible and environmentally destructive. They have led us to a cult of happiness seekers
who get their adrenalin rush by buying more useless stuff on a daily basis – all in a
subconscious attempt to maintain the illusion of perfection.
We have been conditioned to consume the world in an effort to attain this illusory perfection,
and it shows in our day-to-day lives. Simply put, we work at places we don't like in order to
buy stuff we don't need.

We have forgotten that the source of happiness lies within the center of our spiritual being,
and we have replaced it by seeking it in the material world. We have things backward

10 Keys Of Success

noreply@blogger.com (Dhileep) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 13:27:00 +0000

Every day finds people searching for a method to become successful in some way. With just an idea in mind, they are eager to get started, but don’t know which direction to begin. For these individuals, there are ten tips for success that can not only get them started, but also keep them going toward their goal….success. While each goal may have a few of its own unique steps, there are basic tips that are designed to achieve success that are applicable in any situation.

1. Develop a plan of action.

You have your idea; you know what you want to achieve. The next step is to develop your plan of action; determine how you will get to where you want to be.

2. Make opportunity happen.

Although opportunity may knock for some, it usually waits to be discovered. Take the initiative, and create your own opportunity for your goal.

3. Take the risks.

Fear of the unknown keeps most people from realizing their potential and their dreams. Instead of saying “what if I try and fail?” ask “what if I don’t try at all?” Don’t end life in a rocking chair murmuring the mantra, “if only I’d tried”.

4. Keep motivation high.

Write down your goals, and keep them posted in a highly visible area. Remind yourself continually of why you are working toward your goal.

5. Remember to pack your patience.

Success rarely occurs overnight. It is a step by step process that can be maddeningly slow. As long as you see some type of progress, stay on course. Remember, Rome was not built in a day; your empire will take a while, too.

6. Rejoice in small victories.

Along the way toward your goal, many small victories will be realized. Reward yourself to maintain your motivation; small victories win the big wars.

7. Failure is not an option.

Don’t give up. Keep your goals alive, and stay the course. If you have reached a plateau where even small victories have paused, re-evaluate your steps, and readjust if necessary. Just don’t give up.

8. Surround yourself with greatness.

Associate with individuals more successful than you. Observe, listen and learn their techniques that got them where they are. Network within groups of people who can be helpful to you, and then return the favor.

9. Keep your faith and values.

“The road to Hell is paved with good intentions” is a quote we have all heard throughout life. Keep your values and faith close at hand, and practice them often. Honesty, integrity and compassion are traits of successful people that will mark you in a positive way for life. When the day is done, you still need to face yourself in the mirror.

10. Believe in yourself.

Believing in yourself will help you to overcome the most difficult situations and face the most discouraging news. Staying focused on your belief will be a mainstay in tough times and your reward in good times. Finding success does not come naturally to most people. Having a guideline of tips and helpful hints developed by those who have already achieved success provides a fool-proof method for everyone who desires it to experience success.

The Foremost important of all is that, you have practice the above steps one by one,until you feel that you are good at it.

REMEMBER: PRACTICE MAKES THINGS PERFECT

SUCCESS-THE NEW BEGINNING

noreply@blogger.com (Dhileep) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 11:46:00 +0000

In the past what I’ve found is that most people don’t hesitate to point fingers at whom or what they think is responsible for their failures or lack of success in life. The problem is that they never look in the mirror and see that the main problem is them! At that time I believed that there were two groups of people, successful and unsuccessful.
Recently however I came across another group of people who all want to be successful and realize that they must change. When they ask me how they can achieve success, I give them all the same answer.I’ll get to that in a minute, because first I want to tell you why.My mind had been made up since I was a child that deep down I really wanted my own business. So I went out and did what any normal kid would do. Go to college right!
Well after a few semesters, I realized that I was really in for long frustrating hours of studying things that I did not want to know. So while still in school and working full time, I started to self educate myself with self improvement books and business books.
Needless to say, I got hooked! Paycheck after paycheck I would buy and read these books, online and offline. Wow I really knew my stuff I would think. Then I would look at successful businesses and say, “Wow I still have a lot of learning to do.”
So I started out on my quest to conquer the internet. Or so I thought.
Again, I purchased and read many e-books, reports, software and services and began to build a small income online.
Thousands of dollars and some successful clients later, I had very little to show for it other than all of the money I made others .

Then one day through i got into with Mike Litman, Mike showed me what I was doing wrong, what I needed to know and how to apply it. Most importantly he showed me what he had learned so that I didn’t have to make the same mistakes.

So what’s the Success Secret?

It is….
Finding Mentors or Coaches and learning everything you can from them.
Instead of investing tons of money in books and programs, invest in a mentor and you WILL get the most results!
Remember very few actions generate the most results. Instead of taking 1,000 steps and many years to achieve your desired results, you’re only taking one step and very little time to get your results this way. You’re paying them to learn from their mistakes and successes.
No book or program can offer you that!

We were talking about individuals finding mentors and trusting their mentors enough to pay for their services or to teach them what they wanted (need) to know.
The question caught me off guard because the truth of the matter was I hadn't really given sufficient thought to what TRUST really was in the world of self improvement, personal development and finding mentors because I just trust people. Well, until they prove otherwise...
First of all a mentor is...
men·tor - A wise and trusted counselor or teacher.
Second of all trust is...
trust - Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.
With that cleared up...
After I got off the call I realized that I should have explained that every time I met a person that did not trust me, it was THEY and not me who were not trust worthy!

Let me explain this:
People who give trust, CAN be trusted. People who do not trust others are NOT trust worthy. It's that simple and I don't need some Forrester Research or Harvard to tell me that!
Think about the last time someone didn't trust you... Did they prove to be worthy of trust? I highly doubt it.
As with everything in our world Trust has two sides and both serve their purpose.
So how do you trust people? You just DO. It's all about your attitude and changing it to get what you want.
If you want to trust people, give it first or you'll be considered untrustworthy.
Everyone gets burned more than once in life but, the ones that succeed are those that get burned, learn and keep trusting the right people.
As for trusting mentors, do I need to give the definition again???
If they've reached a level of personal development and you want be there, then you should seek them out to teach you how to get there with ruthless efficiency.
Mentors serve three major purposes as a resource.
Intellectual Resource
Spiritual Resource
Financial Resource
After you've gotten over yourself or distrust, you decide what who you want and go get a mentor.
If you still don't trust people, then here's what you do...
Walk over to a mirror and take a long hard look. Then say to the person in the mirror, "Hey I hope you're happy because you and I are going to be where we are right now, for quite a while." ;-P
With learning to trust achieved however, you will break through obstacles and become more powerful every day.
"Self trust is the first secret of success."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
