The Most Important Step

"When you’ve been blaming somebody else for your problems all of your life, and all of a sudden you forgive them, you can no longer blame them. That means you’re now accepting responsibility for your future. That’s the most important step you will ever take: accepting that responsibility. Nonetheless, you’ll discover that the load is so much lighter that you can move much faster."

The Wonders of Meditation

"I find meditation and visioning useful for so many reasons. It brings me clarity, it renews my energy and it clears my head of a tremendous amount of noise. It also helps me to deal with stress."

The Power of Inner Speech

"Inner talking is the beginning, the sowing of the seeds of future action. To determine the action, you must consciously initiate and control your inner talking. Construct a sentence which implies the fulfillment of your aim, such as “I have a large, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit,” or “I am happily married,” “I am wanted,” “I am contributing to the good of the world,” and repeat such a sentence over and over until you are inwardly affected by it. Our inner speech represents in various ways the world we live in."

Your Self-Beliefts is Important

"It won’t surprise you to learn that your beliefs are important influences on the goals you adopt.  For instance, you would probably only commit to the goal of improving your math skills if you believe that math skills can be improved in the first place—otherwise it just wouldn’t make sense to try. Our beliefs determine whether we see a goal as within our reach or as a waste of time and energy."

Find The Things You Can Do

"I firmly believe that we all need to find something to do in our lives that stops us from eating the couch. Whether we make a profession out of it or not, we all need an activity that is beyond the mundane and that takes us out of our established and limiting roles in society (mother, employee, neighbor, brother, boss, etc.)."

Believe You Have The Ability

"Believing you have the ability to reach your goals is important, but so is believing you can get the ability.  Embracing the (accurate) belief that you can change will allow you to make better choices and reach your fullest potential."

Convinces Your Subconscious It Is Real

"One interesting and effective way to engage the subconscious is to visualize, using a meditative approach. Visualizing is a way to “make believe,” to pretend that something you want is already real. It’s not necessary to actually see a picture in your mind’s eye, although it’s fine if you do. Despite its name, visualization relies on feeling, not vision. The important thing is that you feel as if it is genuine by acting as if it is true. It is the feeling that convinces your subconscious that it’s real, not the picture."

The Greater Danger of Your Goal

"The greater danger for most of us, said Michelangelo, is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. A big dream is a goal that will stretch you beyond your current capabilities. That is the point. Dream BIG."

-- Newt Gingrich

The Power of Happiness

"Happiness also brings out the best in us. When we are happy we relate better with others. We feel more connected, we are less afraid, and we are more confident. Our inner happiness is attractive, literally, in that it attracts happy relationships. When we are happy we also work better. Occupational psychology research confirms that if you can say “I am happy in my work,” you are likely to be more productive, more creative, and more successful and experience less stress, less depression, and less mental illness. True happiness enables us to be more successful"

The Power of Self-Beliefs

"Your beliefs about your strengths and your weaknesses play a large role in determining the goals you set for yourself. If I believe that I’m good at math and science, then setting myself the goal of becoming an engineer makes sense for me. If I believe that I am uncoordinated and slow, then trying to make the varsity basketball team probably doesn’t make so much sense. Our beliefs about our abilities influence what we think is possible—and what we might realistically be able to achieve."
