key to success

One self-help key for achieving your greatest goals may for you to pay more attention to how you are feeling in the present moment

There is no greater power than happiness for achieving success, as the following inspirational quotes suggest:

  • When I am feeling happy I am at my best. When I become too serious my creativity shuts down and I find myself clashing more in my relationships.

  • I have learned that I simply have to be enjoying myself at work to as productive as I can be.

  • When I’m feeling really good inside I notice that things just seem to work out and fall into place.  But when I’m feeling down, everything turns into a struggle.

Of course these inspirational quotes are not intended to downplay the need for self-discipline, mental focus, and a sense of responsibility, but happiness seems all to often to be underrated.

One self-help key for achieving your greatest goals may for you to pay more attention to how you are feeling in the present moment.

By permitting yourself to enjoy the journey instead of waiting until you achieve your goal to finally relax enough to be happy, you will be more successful.

What are YOU waiting for to be happy?

What goals do you believe you need to achieve, what problems do you first need to solve, to permit yourself to enjoy your life and work?

In this blog, share your thoughts and questions about
the self-help power of happiness as it relates to success.

It may be that the old saying “it sounds too good to be true” is preventing you from tapping into the great success-power that is joy.

But there is really only one way to find out if you can succeed joyfully, and that is to risk an experiment. Each day deliberately practice living and working a little more calmly, confidently and joyfully, to see if the inspirational quotes that opened this blog can also apply to you.

You will be less fearful of unpleasant situations when you apply this success secret. You will begin to see the pure and perfect opportunity delivered by each moment.

When we compare our situation to another’s, and ours seems to come up short by comparison, we are doing the opposite of applying this success secret, and suffering the painful, pointless consequences.

There is no experience to resist.
It’s all a gift.

There are many commonly known skills for success, including

success-secrets

Focus on the now to feel renewed. Now is a new beginning

  • Time management
  • Clarifying goals
  • Building strategic alliances
  • Adhering to integrity
  • Pursing ongoing self-development
  • Persevering

There are also less well-known or more secret skills for success.

One pertains to an essential ingredient for perseverance: the success skill of dropping burdensome memories of how many times you have started, or of how long you have worked without results.

Achieving major goals can take a very long time;
longer than you ever thought it would
or even should take you.

Making effort can grow increasingly tiresome. If you think about past disappointments you can begin to feel discouraged.

As discouragement mounts it drains more and more of the power and focus we need to make the most possible progress toward your desired destination.

If you are feeling frustrated or disheartened about achieving a goal, this is one of the most important skills for success for you to remember.

Focus on the now to feel renewed.
Now is a new beginning.

To hold onto your past is to horde experiences, which clutters your way forward. To enter the now, let the past go.

Be a beginner now: now is the time to begin the creation of what you want right now.

Here is another of those “secret” skills for success; it relates to letting go of the past.  This is the success skill of being aware of what you are thinking and feeling in the present.

You have to notice that you are holding
onto the past to let it go!

As you practice the skills for success of:

  • Being aware of what you are thinking and feeling in the present
  • And of letting go of the burden of thinking about the disappointing past, you accomplish two things

  1. You will feel freer, lighter and more energized in the present moment
  2. You will be giving your all right now for all you want right now

Put these skills for success to work for you to discover just how wonderfully they really do work!

Tap The Power of Inspiring Thoughts

By Bob Lancer
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Receive your FREE Advice for your success through this blog. Simply ask Bob Lancer your question and receive his Lancer’s Answer in this blog.

inspirational thoughts give positive power

The purpose of thought is creation. You create what you think about.

Have you ever wondered where your inspiring thoughts come from?

Inspiring thoughts come from a center of deep inner peace.

Worrisome thinking arises from an anxious, nervous state.

Understanding the source of inspiring thoughts can help you choose your thoughts for positive power.

The purpose of thought is creation.
You create what you think about.
To choose your thoughts is to
choose your destiny.

Inspiring thoughts create conditions that you desire.

When you worry, your thinking forms possibilities you don’t want.

When you connect with inspiring thoughts you feel spiritually uplifted.

When you connect with worrisome thoughts you feel strained, drained and demoralized.

When you feel inspired by the idea of creating, say, a great work of art, or a great business, you can then form that idea into a goal and take action aimed at accomplishing that goal.

The inspiration you feel when you revisit that idea fuels your motivation to work, overcome obstacles and persevere through losses and difficulty.

Every moment you spend worrying, though, drains you of that motivation and leads you toward dreadful possibilities.

Since inspirational thoughts are more constructive than worry,
you would think that no one would choose worry.
And yet, we do make that choice.

We worry because we believe, either consciously or unconsciously, that we have no choice.  But we actually do have a choice.

You can shift out of a worried thought just as you can choose to think about a pink elephant, and then shift your thought to a blue elephant, at will.

To Shift From Worry To Inspiration

  • Take a few calming breaths, rest from activity, and ask yourself, “What would I love to bring about in my life?”
  • Follow that with a calm, quiet, inner openness and trust that an idea will come.
  • Your inspirational thoughts will soon begin to flow.

5 Mantras Of Positive Thinking

By noahbrown
Friday, January 21st, 2011

If you are constantly blaming others for everything wrong in your personal and professional life, if you are feeling low and depressed for a long period of time, if you don’t look forward to anything; then it is time to take a hard look at your own attitude and make a conscious effort towards changing it.

negative thoughts

Negative thinking drains the joy out of everything you do

Negative attitude stems from negative thoughts and it can be very harmful if this habit is continued for a long period of time. Negative thinking drains the joy out of everything you do. The same job, which may seem drab and dreary to you if you are thinking negative, will turn satisfying and encouraging if you look upon it as an opportunity for doing something or learning something new. Here are 5 mantras to help you develop the habit of positive thinking:

Seek the company of positive people

The first and the easiest thing that you can do to develop positing thinking is to spend time with the people who think positive. Just as a smile elicits a reciprocal smile, positive thinking too is contagious. People who look up the brighter side of life even in the midst of odds, make other around them think positive about themselves.

If you stay with negative people they will only push you into more negativity. Instead try and always surround yourself with helpful, strong, confident people who encourage you and help you see things in a positive way.

Speak and think positive words

Whether you are thinking or conversing with others, always use positive words. Instead of saying ‘I can’t', say words such as ‘I can’, ‘It is possible’, ‘I am able’ and so on. While conversing, use words that evoke feelings of joy, strength and success. Whenever you feel like giving up, repeat it to yourself that you can do it. You will be amazed to find how much strength you can draw from your positive thoughts.

However thinking or repeating positive words for a few minutes in a day is not enough. You have to consciously make it your habit to always use positive words and refrain from anything negative.

Control your thoughts

Negative thoughts can sometimes come flooding in and drown you in negativity. They are not easily swept away either. You have to work towards turning your negative thinking into positive thoughts. Whenever a negative thought begins to develop in your mind, dump it and instead substitute the depressing, doubtful thoughts with good, confident thoughts. Don’t let your emotions rule you. Instead you rule your mind and thoughts.

Change your lifestyle

Exercise regularly and eat good, healthy food. All these things will also make you feel and think good. Watch a good movie which makes you feel happy. Enroll yourself in dance or music classes, learn swimming, read good books and do things that make you feel good. Cook something special if cooking is something that makes you happy.

Moreover, bring about a little change in your home as well. De-clutter your surroundings. Dump all the unnecessary things which you don’t need anymore into the trash bin. Clean up the house and rearrange things, such as shifting the furniture around or reorganizing the closet. And surround yourself with beautiful things such as a photo frame of your family, colorful potted plants or flowers, and whatever you like.

Watch motivational videos

In addition, watch some motivational videos which inspire you to think positive. There are various websites which boast of an impressive collection of inspirational quotes and video messages which offer success secrets of brightest of minds . In fact, make it a point to daily watch a motivational video which inspire you to face life’s challenges powerfully, assist in your personal development and encourage you to stay positive always.

You can even become a member of Wisie.com and receive daily inspirational videos on positive thinking, relationship advice, parenting advice and success secrets. Inspirational videos with the motivational messages will keep you motivated towards your intents and help you realize your dreams.

The Non-Reactive Way To Success

By Bob Lancer
Monday, January 17th, 2011

Receive your FREE Advice for your success through this blog. Simply ask Bob Lancer your question and receive his Lancer’s Answer in this blog.

Learn to control your reactions

Your key to success is to align your response with what you want to accomplish

The non-reactive way to success is the most direct way to success.

When you react, you are being triggered off into a way that diverts your course away from your true goals.  In fact, the more reactive one is, the less successful and satisfied that individual must feel.

To the extent that you feel dissatisfied, unsuccessful or stuck, you are experiencing the results of reactivity.  The way out of failure and the way to more success, is through NON-reactivity.

When you react your response are not based on clear and
accurate perception of your situation.

The opposite of reacting is calmly and patiently considering your situation in order to come up with a response that aligns with what you really want to accomplish – your way to success.

Under the influence of an automatic, habitual, emotional reaction we lose touch with our deeper self.  We lash out, sink into despair, or waste energy in other ways.

When you react, you recreate the same old problems because you are living in the same old way.

Instead of reacting, be responsive by choosing what you say, think, feel
and do in line with what you want to create in your life.

Only when you feel calm can you:

  1. Sense the deeper goals you most deeply desire to achieve
  2. Accurately perceive what is happening
  3. Realize how to think, feel, speak and act here and now for the results you really want.

A reaction is a trigger-response based on hasty observation,
superficial judgment and poor reasoning.

Reacting re-creates what you do not want. Create more of what you do want by responding.

Shift from reacting to responding through the practice of being more self-aware in the present.  As you notice yourself falling into a reaction pattern can you begin withdrawing your energy from it, leaving you with more energy to invest in more conscious, constructive responses. This is your way to more success.

A Creative Key To Success

By Bob Lancer
Monday, January 10th, 2011

Receive your FREE Advice for your success through this blog. Simply ask Bob Lancer your question and receive his Lancer’s Answer in this blog.

Perhaps the greatest key to success is realizing that you are a creator. You create your destiny through what you think, feel, say and do.

Key to success

Key to success is realizing that you are a creator

Therefore, carefully choose your responses to what happens, instead of blindly reacting, because how you respond to what happens determines what will happen to you. This applies to every area of your life, including your economy.

You are the creator of your economic destiny. If you listen to news reports, or the complaints of others, you may become confused about this.

Don’t let anyone talk you into discouragement. In any economy there are opportunities. There are those who prosper greatly. You can be one of them.

To apply the great creative key to success presented here, remember this: The more economical you are with the creative power of your thoughts, feeling, speech, action and attention, the more economically successful you are bound to be.

Consciously and intentionally direct your thinking, feeling, speaking and acting in line with the economic results you want. Notice what you are paying attention to, because your life follows the direction of your attention.

Worrying about your economic fate is one of the most common ways of misusing your creative power to direct our own economy.

If you worry about a situation that means that you want a certain outcome but you fear that it may not happen.

Yet worrying focuses your thoughts on where you do not want to go, and it generates feelings that create more havoc in your life.

And the more you worry, the more you develop a worry habit, meaning that whatever happens, you are going to be more likely to worry about what may happen.

A Creative Key to Success: For more of what you want tomorrow,
begin letting go of your worry habit today.

Solve Your Problems With Positive Thinking

By Bob Lancer
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Receive your FREE Advice for your success through this blog. Simply ask Bob Lancer your question and receive his Lancer’s Answer in this blog.

positive thinking

Positive thinking holds the key to any solution

Positive thinking is really the solution to any problem, because all of our problems exist only in our minds.

Does that sound impossible? Consider this. If you had no thought in your mind of any problem at all, you would experience a condition that we can call “problem free”.

You experience a problem only as long as you continue thinking about what you do NOT want. As long as you want problems, continue thinking about them. But when you are ready for solutions, it’s time for positive thinking.

A solution is a positive thought, is it not? You conceive of a solution when you imagine how things can work out well.  That is essentially what positive thinking is: imagining things turning out wonderfully.

Many of us mistakenly presume that the way to leave a problem behind is to hold onto it all the time!  But the first step to leaving a problem is to let go of the thoughts that create it. You need space in your mind for your solution to arrive.

Your thought of a problem is really just a sign that it is time to focus on a solution. It is time to direct the creative process of your mind. Do this by letting go of your problem mentally, and then keeping an open mind, trusting that your solution will come.  it will!

A negative thought is a thought of what you do not want in your life. As long as you think of a condition you do not want, you feel stuck in it.

As you practice staying aware of your mind’s activities you gain mastery over your thinking. Turn negative thinking into positive thinking by focusing your mind on what you want. And pay close attention to the present to see and to seize your opportunities.

Your Self-Help Power: A Key To Success

By Bob Lancer
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Receive your FREE Advice for your success through this blog. Simply ask Bob Lancer your question and receive his Lancer’s Answer in this blog.

Self-help power is perhaps the single most important key to success.  Self-help power is your power to help yourself.

Think positive

Positive thoughts are powerful tools for self help

The more you blame and complain about others or circumstances, the more self-help power you lose, and the more your life seems to spin out of control.

The more you focus on what you do to cause what happens to you, the more self-help power you can access and the more effectively you can direct your own life.

We all need help from others, be we can all do more to help ourselves. Concentrate on how you can be more effective and efficient in all that you do and you will find better things happening to you.

You create your experiences. You create your problems and your solutions.  You create your obstacles and your opportunities. As long as you focus on how others set you up or let you down, though, you overlook what you do to produce your own disappointments.

To become as successful as you can be, you must fully access your total self-help power.  To do this, shift the focus of your attention away from how others cause your problems, and look for how you create what’s happening to you.

Let’s say that you feel annoyed at the way someone has treated you. As long as you think of what that person has done, you continue feeling upset. But if you shift the focus of your attention onto what you are doing, you soon realize that you are making yourself upset by thinking about that person.

Thought is a mighty power that is largely out of control for most people.  Each time that you exercise conscious control over your thinking, though, your ability to direct your thinking grows stronger.

Whatever seems to be going wrong in your life, whatever you want to achieve, direct your attention o how you are creating what is happening to you, and what you can do to access your self-help power to improve your situation.
