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.

Success secret: Train yourself to seek your path

Your life IS a perfect success training opportunity.

Every experience that you go through offers you an education in how to go through it better.

If you look for a better way to live in this moment, you will find it.  “Seek and you will find” is a provable law of life and one of life’s greatest success training secrets.

Train yourself to seek your path to truly
fulfilling success in the now.

What are you looking for?

  • a higher income?
  • a higher level of accomplishment?
  • A higher levels of talent?
  • a higher level of love, joy and fulfillment?

Your daily living experiences offer you the success training opportunities you need to turn your dreams into reality.

The moment you begin looking for a way to succeed,
you begin finding your way to succeed.

If you feel stuck in any way, open your mind to the educational opportunity offered to you right now.  Observe what you say, think, feel and do and notice what that causes you to go through.

Then simply look for  better, more effective and efficient way to achieve your goals and you will find it.

When you go through disappointment or difficulty, accept the opportunity for great success training. Look for the lessons that you can use to be more successful, and you will find those lessons even in the darkest times.

To find success, define what you mean by “success”. Training for triumph requires first that you know the triumph you want.  Define and envision a particular goal.  Then ask yourself, “What abilities do I need to develop to achieve this?” You will receive an answer defining the training for success that you need.

Your current level of accomplishment in any area of life is an exact reflection of your current level of ability.  To achieve a higher level of success, training is required.

The best form of success training is to work on developing the abilities you feel most inspired to develop, and to turn every life-experience into a lesson that points to training you can use to lead a more successful life.

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

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.
