Do you look at your life now and wonder how you have ever reached this point in time? Do you examine your career and see nothing but failures? Are you approaching an age when many begin to think about retirement, yet you have not had a fulfilling job? Has your life and/or career been interrupted, perhaps more than once, with unforeseen circumstances? Or have you just begun your career and believe you have no idea what it is you are supposed to do in life and you feel a sense of wandering and aimlessness?
It would seem as if these are legitimate questions for any person to ask as part of a natural self-assessment phase in their life or career. Yet these commonly asked questions are based upon the essence of self-doubt and nothing more. The problem is not a life, career, or job not being fully realized. The problem is also not knowing where to start a career or job either. The heart of the issue is a failure to understand what the true purpose of life is all about.
A universal truth is this: Man is programmed to believe life occurs in one certain manner and this indoctrination occurs at birth, continues past infancy and into childhood through stories and books, and then confirmed through institutions such as religious, educational, and governmental. These institutions all reinforce the societal expectations and norms regarding right and wrong, good and bad behaviors, and how the path is established and to be followed for becoming a productive member of society.
People find they either fit in or they do not, and those who do not then find they are at odds with society in one way or another. But the idea of just living is not part of the societal plan. A person is expected to become something, have something, and claim they have accomplished something in their life.
When a person struggles with meeting that goal, what do they think? They often question themselves, cast self-doubt, start using blame, and seek guidance. Most who seek spiritual guidance believe they are living according to someone or some other being's plan, the supreme being who created all the universe and to this being they must pray. So if a person is not successful, logic dictates they must have done something wrong and must appease this supreme being who is likely mad or testing them for some unknown reason, withholding success from them for a greater purpose.
And so the praying, pleading, begging, and bargaining begins. It is done all in an attempt to catch the attention of a being who they believe is in control of their future and how it will play out. This person believes they have no control except to please this being and hope this supreme being will in turn grant them the life they want.
Think for a moment beyond what you have been taught if you can. Does your logical mind accept this type of reality? The reality that some being, unseen to humans, controls all of human life, dictates all their futures, and controls their outcomes?
To those who have awakened, to those who are enlightened, you know there is a being we are all connected to and it is an energy source. This energy source is the source of life. We are all made of energy. We are all part of an energy field. Energy is all around us now, unseen to the human eye. This perhaps is what many would want to call God.
Awaken to the Energy Source of Life
The energy Source of Life contains all the memories, knowledge, and wisdom of mankind. It is a Collective Consciousness consisting of positive and negative energy, just as the universe is made up of positive and negative energy. This energetic Source of Life does not control but instead is a living repository of information that all humans have access to. It is where humans originate and within it, new ideas are born, new physical forms are thought of and lives are planned, and it radiates the purest form of love.
The Collective Consciousness of Mankind flows to and through each human being, as signals received and transmitted through their brain. The mind is consciously aware of these signals as thoughts, ideas, aha moments, and instinct. It is what some would also refer to as a soul. This Collective Consciousness of Mankind does not control anything or anyone. It is an energetic repository and it is an energy core, which means it can sustain life. It can sustain the universe and all living things within it. The control is an individual basis, developed by each human through a plan or blueprint established prior to arriving in a physical form.
The information, insight, and wisdom available within this Collective Consciousness is accessible to all without restrictions. The only restrictions ever placed occur when someone doubts or closes their mind to their own ability to listen. When someone believes they can trust themselves, or rely upon themselves to find answers, then wisdom and insight can flow to and through them. This is important as anyone can access this knowledge to learn of their life and what lies ahead for them.
Learning About Your Life and Your Purpose
The most important aspect of establishing an understanding of your life, and what you are meant to do, is awakening to the realization your life is not tied to anyone else. This is especially important when you want to make comparisons to other people and what they have seemed to accomplish or gained that you have not yet achieved. Your place in life is not determined by society. Your life is not controlled by a supreme being who holds a master plan. This may seem troubling for some to read at first, but if you are reading this to begin with there is already something within you that is telling you there are greater truths available that you have yet to find.
What is expected of you as a human being can be summed up as follows: Live Your Life.
This is the only true way to experience life, by living it and experiencing it fully. If you feel a sense of failure, it is only because society wants everything a person does in their career, along with every job they have held, labeled as a success or failure. But even if you have a job and it "fails", does this mean you have failed to live your life in some manner? Are you not living your true purpose? The challenge for asking questions about having a purpose is that it sounds as if there must be something special or extraordinary accomplished with your life. In other words, you must succeed in everything you do. Every job and every task in your life must be a big win or big accomplishment.
But ask yourself this: Isn't it enough to do a good job and know you performed your best? Isn't it enough to know you lived your life as best you could each day?
Every person is living. Every person is experiencing life. But to just have a steady life with jobs, no jobs, ups, downs, successes, and failures, seems too ordinary for many people. To "do something with your life" means you have accomplished something extraordinary, and you likely live a certain lifestyle to show for it. You've built a career, climbed a corporate ladder, gained promotions, and acquired material possessions.
Learn the Secret to Life
Here is the secret to life: Your life's master plan requires no advanced planning on your part. What you have to do is accept your life now and listen for the wisdom, insight, and knowledge that is available to you through the power of your own mind. Your purpose is to live and experience life.
What can get in the way of fulfilling this goal of living in harmony with your own life? There are powerful internal and external forces which can disrupt your happiness. The first internal force is self-doubt or believing you have to be chasing after something. This is not to state that having goals is not useful. But to constantly wish for a future and then make comparisons to where you are now can be a destructive force. The opposite is true as well, when you are constantly looking back and remain stuck in past memories, reminding yourself of decisions made or not made, trying to understand why, and assessing the past, as if this can or will ever change it.
Another powerful interruption occurs whenever you give into doubt or despair, or turn control of your life over to the belief someone else is in charge. You will then find yourself stuck in a cycle of pain, frustration, and anxiety. This comes from the powerful external forces that want you to believe you are not in control of your future and must appease a supreme being in the hope you can have the life you want. When you remember you created this life and your life's plan is already set, you become resistant to those forces.
Welcome life as it is now. Your life is going to have bumps in the road so to speak, physical and emotional bruises, physical and emotional pain, joy and happiness, sorrows and loss, and so much more as part of daily living. This is part of being human. Yet this is not to say you are helpless either. You do have control as you have access to the wisdom of the Collective Consciousness of Mankind. As you learn to listen for this wisdom, you will know what actions to take and when.
You will know when you are following the right path and when to take action or make changes. You will soon discover that the need for measuring success and failure is not as important as it used to be as your fulfillment comes from a different source. It is personal fulfillment or living the life you have planned for yourself. This is how you can live your life with a sense of balance and well-being. No longer will you ask questions about where you have been or where you are going as you have established an internal sense of peace. This is what is means to discover and live your life's purpose.

You Want It More Than Anything Why Can't You Have It?
By
Joan Silva
Over the years I have wanted, desired, sought after and pursued so many ideas, endeavors, careers, things, and lifestyles that it's quite mind boggling.
Did I get most of them? Heck no.
Did I suffer or agonize over not having, getting, or achieving these things? Oh my gosh, yes!
There were times the angst over not getting what I thought I wanted would stay with me for months, if not years. They would flavor all that I did, color my decisions, and often stop me from something even better.
I would use the disappointment to hold me back or to convince myself to not even try.
I also used these painful experiences as lessons to learn and guidance to grow.
But, honestly, who the heck wants another growth opportunity? Can't life just be simple and easy?
What's up with the whole idea that we get itches we can never seem to scratch?
You want it more than anything
why can't you have it?
It's like that itch in the middle of your back that no matter how you twist or turn, you can't reach to scratch it.
It plagues you. Wakes you from a dead sleep. Drives you simply batty.
Where is that dang back scratcher tool when you need it?
And, just like that itch you can't reach, many wants and desires in life never get scratched.
It seems, don't you think, if we want it bad enough, somehow we'd find a way to have it. After all, we are creative human beings with tremendous talents and connections.
Yet, many things in life go unfulfilled and not attained. Or, if achieved, they suddenly are not satisfying.
I know! Frustrating and maddening, sometimes depressing, isn't it?
But, are we meant to have everything we desire, want, or go after?
I think not.
Let's use cravings as an example.
I swear my body wants Cheetos. You know, those orange, disgustingly gross snacks that somehow you can't stop at just a handful? You open the bag and before you can say, I think I've had enough, the bag is empty.
You did say you wanted them, remember? You wanted them bad enough that you hauled your butt into the car, drove to the store and bought them. And, then you ate them.
So, you got what you wanted, right? Indeed you did. And, yet, was it truly a want that was wise to fulfill?
A good friend of mine said the other day that she was learning to trust her body and its messages -- to discern emotional messages (Must have Cheetos now or my life is over!) from body messages (eGads, Cheetos, you've got to be kidding, ick!).
Just like those cravings, we must learn to discern the difference between healthy and not so healthy ones.
Not so easy, is it? The voice that WANTS is loud and insistent. It nags at and pulls on you like a whining child in a grocery story who demands candy! It refuses to budge until you satisfy it. In fact, it'll throw itself on the floor and kick and scream.
Most of us would either satisfy the child or simply step over them and keep on shopping!
What if there was another way? What if you were to be kind to it, acknowledge its deep desire, and sit quietly with it?
In other words, love it. Because it, too, has a deep message for you. Push aside the temper tantrum and notice what the deeper meaning is in the unfulfilled desire. Give it a hug...
And, walk away.
Not all things we desire are meant to be had. Many are just stepping stones to the real thing we are meant to have.
Maybe, just maybe, they are there for only one purpose -- to bring enjoyment to our human journey, our earthly road trip.
No road map needed or available.

Find Fail Safe Project Success With These 4 Simple Tips
By Paula Eder
Getting your project -- even a large one -- off to a successful and quick beginning is a major key to success.
So, here's some help. Read on for 4 tips to help you move your project into the "Fail Safe" zone. As you use your skills and power to think ahead, your results can far surpass what a traditional approach to project management offers.
1. Open to new possibilities for structuring your project.
Start by clearly defining your desired outcome, and then build around it. Beginning with your goal stimulates your creativity and moves you away from automatically following a standard protocol. Let fresh ideas bubble up.
2. Refine the image of your goal. Make it comprehensive and specific.
Keep working at your project definition. Having a crystal clear image of your desired outcome before you begin helps in lots of ways. For one thing, it's motivating. And vague descriptions may result in confusion for those who need to understand your project or those whose help you may need in order to be successful. The clarity of your goal will also help you strategize more effectively when you're structuring your action steps.
3. What about the scope and complexity of your desired outcome? If you've bitten off more than you can chew, remember that you hold the power to make your project manageable.
Realistic planning at the outset greatly reduces your chances of having to scale back your original goal. A doctoral dissertation or strategic plan without a feasible-to-achieve outcome can easily become a project that is impossible to manage. Learn to marshal your resources by simplifying.
4. Work backward.
Start from your outcome and work back. This helps you identify each necessary action step. When you do this, you're more likely to maintain a realistic pace and scale throughout the project.
In contrast, beginning at the beginning can mire you in too much detail or overwhelm you with the enormity of your task.
It's deeply rewarding to plan a project effectively when first starting out. You will proceed with more confidence and develop a stronger base of support.
You'll find expert guidance quickly with our free Finding Time Success Kit, so check out our video at http://thetimefinder.com/ and then sign up for your Kit!
You'll receive our Finding Time Boundary Template, our popular Weekly Tips, and our monthly, award-winning E-zine -- all free and all right to your in-box!

Success: Why Do Some People Sabotage Their Own Success?
By Oliver JR Cooper
When someone holds themselves back in life, there are at least two things that can take place. If one is not aware of the fact that they are holding themselves back, they can come to see themselves as a victim.
On the other hand, if one is aware of the fact that they are the ones who are holding themselves back, they will be able to take a deeper look into why this is. By taking this approach, they will be able to liberate themselves over time.
The First Outcome
If someone is not aware of why they are holding themselves back, and is only aware of what they have been doing to move forward in life, they could believe that there is no way that they are playing a part in all this. One could reflect on some of the things that they have done over the years, seeing how hard they have worked.
Perhaps they get up in the early hours most days and only go to bed once they have ticked off everything that they needed to do. There will then be absolutely no doubt about how committed they are to their own growth.
Plenty of Evidence
Along with what they generally do on each day of their life, there can be all the courses that they have been on. They may go on a few courses a year, or maybe they go on at least one course a month.
In addition to this, there can be all the books that they have read on success and achievement. As far as they are concerned, every part of them will want to move forward and to go to the next level.
An Indivisible Barrier
But, no matter what they do to move forward, they will find that they can only get so far. Now, there may be times when they are able to make a breakthrough, but before long, they may soon return to where they were.
It is then going to be a case of one or two steps forward and one or two steps back. When this happens, one could come to believe that a certain person or a certain group of people are holding them back.
More Force
Their mental and emotional state could radically change after one of these moments, only for them to rise up again shortly after; this will then prove how resilient they are. This is also likely to show that one will be using a lot of willpower.
Living in this way is most likely going to cause them to experience a fair amount of pressure, pressure that could knock them down from time to time. If another person was to suggest that they may be the ones who are holding themselves back, one may end up being consumed by anger or find what has been said amusing.
One Direction
One could believe that this person doesn't know what they are talking about, seeing them as someone who just wants to pull them down or hasn't got a clue what they are talking about. One will be out there working hard, not waiting for anything to fall into their lap.
What could make it ever harder for them to handle what is going on is if they come across someone who is making clear progress, even though they don't appear to be working very hard. It may seem as though someone like this has something that they themselves don't have.
One Solution
During times like these, one may believe that this shows that they need to try another approach. Nonetheless, what they may find is that changing their approach doesn't really do anything.
One of the things that they may have learned at one point in time was that they were being held back by low self-esteem. Yet, even after they had worked on this, their life still didn't change.
A Closer Look
Due to how they experience life, there are likely to be a number of negative feelings that they are used to experiencing - that is, of course, if they don't have the tendency to repress these feelings. They can feel powerless, helpless, hopeless, trapped, and worthless during the moments when they reflect on how they life is or if they experience a setback.
One way of looking at this would be to say that they only experience these feelings because of what in taking place in their life. Thus, if their life was to change, they would no longer experience these feelings.
Emotionally Attached
Another way of looking at this would be to say that feelings these feelings is what feels comfortable. And, only does it feel comfortable, these feelings are a big part of their identity.
Clearly, feeling this way is not what feels comfortable at a conscious level; yet, unconsciously, feeling this way can be familiar and, therefore, what feels safe. Taking this into account, their conscious mind will want something that is seen as threat to their unconscious mind, which is why it is so hard for them to change their life.
One Need
The reason why feeling this way feels comfortable can be the result of what took place at the beginning of their life. This may have been a time when they were abused and/or neglected, for instance.
​
Feeling this way would have gradually become what felt comfortable and these feelings have become part of their identity. The trouble is that as the years passed, different defences would have been put in place, causing one to gradually lose touch with the information that would allow them to realise why they sabotage their own life.
Awareness
What this emphasises is how important self-awareness and self-knowledge is when it comes to being able to grow and develop. When one doesn't have self-awareness and self-knowledge, it will be perfectly normal for them to feel like a victim.
If one can see that they are the ones who are holding themselves back, they may need to reach out for external support. This can be provided by the assistance of a therapist or a healer.
Teacher, prolific writer, author, and consultant, Oliver JR Cooper, hails from England. His insightful commentary and analysis covers all aspects of human transformation, including love, partnership, self-love, and inner awareness. With over one thousand nine hundred in-depth articles highlighting human psychology and behaviour, Oliver offers hope along with his sound advice.

The Seven-Step Decision Process
Ever struggled with a decision? Dealing with one now? Ever made what you thought was a poor decision that turned out well? Ever made a good one that turned out poorly? I'm sure you don't need my repetitive babble as you have better things to do today, like spending time deciding or maybe spending over ten hours of your life today interacting with a device! Yep, these ten hours on your iPad, iPhone or computer etc. are decisions made on how you choose to spend your time whether wisely or aimlessly.
Making decisions is the easy part of the decision process and as a result, you would think most people would be able to handle this first step in life's decision process.
A process is a series of steps in every area of life whether - cooking, exercise, travel, health, relationship building, career development, business growth etc. and decision making is no exception. To achieve a favorable outcome from any decision, each step in the process must be taken in order and with thought, evaluation, and purpose and all driven by pre-determined desired results or outcomes. But first a quote from one of my mentors, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones - "Stop trying to make right decisions, make the decision and then make it turn out right."
So, what are the seven steps to an effective and successful decision process?
-Consider the process: desired outcomes or results, potential risks and/or rewards, time-frames, available resources, courage, passion, desire or fears associated with it, previous similar decisions and outcomes. Get it? You just don't make it without a little pre-thought.
-Decide; this is the easy part - say yes or no - maybe is not a decision, not now is not a decision, when things get better or change is not a decision, I hope it will all work out is not a decision, someday I will is not a decision, if my inaction doesn't work I'll do something is not a decision.
-Plan; planning is taking all the details, facts, lessons, considerations, resources and deciding on the best, the ideal, the only etc. approach. Here is where you map out and blend the various steps in the process execution; the expected outcomes, the benchmarks, the guidelines, the rules, how you will handle potential roadblocks, hazards and/or setbacks, mistakes or failures, how to manage resources of time, money, people and any other certain or uncertain resources.
-Act; now it's time to get moving executing the plan developed. You begin. You get started; no waiting, no delaying, no excuses, no fears, no hesitation - just get moving.
-Monitor; this is the time for discipline, observation, awareness and record keeping. Without these actions how will you know what works, what doesn't, what might have or what needs to be trashed? This is also a time for monitoring the path to success. If you didn't set a timeframe or time or complete time/date you will tend to get distracted, sidetracked and even lose passion, attention or the desire to keep going.
-Evaluate; Now it's time for review - what worked, what didn't, what took too long, what cost too much, what took too much time or used too many resources. What needs to change? If it is changed how will we know we will get better or different results the next time? Is the entire project, program - whatever - worth it? Will it pay off adequately with additional time, resources, people or patience? Don't skip this step or if something fails - you will tend to fail again if it is tried again in the future. If it took too long or too many resources how do, we or can we still accomplish it with less or fewer resources? Important questions if you want a better track record of success and less failure, disappointment in the future.
-Act again; Simple - take the learning from each step above and blend it into your re-try. But, follow the same steps above or again, if it fails you may never know why and could set yourself up for repeat future failures.

How Do You Want To Be Remembered
Please - I'm not being morbid - just asking a simple question.
Trust me - the years pass much more quickly than most people realize or are willing to accept. I don't care your chronological age as that is not the determining fact as to when you will check out of here so back to my question - How do you want to be remembered after you are gone?
First of all, who remembers us and why depends on many factors; our relationships (family, kids, siblings etc.), careers (customers, fellow workers, bosses etc.), where we lived (neighbors, friends, acquaintances etc.), and yes even a few total strangers that might have crossed our paths quickly and briefly.
Then there are our actions (things done and not done), behaviors (good, bad, stupid, thoughtful, selfish, kind, egotistical, compassionate etc.).
And of course, there are our words (things said and not said, kind words or hurtful words etc.).
And how about our beliefs attitudes, prejudices and opinions (did we always have to be right or could we accept mistakes, were we always talking, or did we ever listen and care, could we disagree without anger or validate others for who they were, did we live with a spiritual foundation or did we assume there is no God etc.).
Yes, there's one more - our goals, desires, dreams, and plans. Did we include others or exclude them, did we rely on others or did we always go it alone, did we give credit when it was due or always keep it for our selves, did we share our victories or assume we deserved all the benefits regardless of other's guidance etc?
OK, I hope I have made my point - there are numerous factors to who will or will not remember us, why they will or will not remember us and what they will remember us for - if they do.
I'm going to generalize a bit so hang in there with me.
There is an ancient Native American legend that states 'you will only get into Heaven leaning on the shoulders of someone you helped while you were on earth.'
Regardless of your opinion of this statement consider - if you helped no one in any way - what are your chances? If you helped one hundred people - go for it.
As I go through my last life chapter I have spent a lot of time considering this question and is it too late to change what those who were in my life - for many years or even a few minutes - will remember about me or even care.
Ever wondered how many people will attend your funeral? Full house or a lot of empty seats?
You've heard it I'm sure - It's never too late to make a new first impression. Does this rule also apply - It's never too late to change your legacy? I don't have a clue but what I do know is how you live your life while you are here become the guidelines for your legacy or how, why, if, when etc. you will be remembered.
I'm not referring here to all those famous folks like - Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, Babe Ruth or Henry Ford etc. I'm talking about us normal folks who are doing our best to live a life of dignity, happiness, success, compassion, and love rather than fame and fortune.
So, here's a thought - make a list of all the people in your life that matter - current or past, relatives or friends - get it - anyone or everyone. Now, write down the words that you think each one of them might use to describe you, your legacy or what you meant to them while you shared life with them if they were giving your eulogy. Got the courage to do this? If no, why not? If yes, go for it.
And here's a final thought if you can handle it. Now share the words, memories etc. you wrote down with each person and ask them for their response (agree, disagree, like, don't like etc.).

Being Successful In Life Today With A Millionaire's Mindset Means Reprogramming The Subconscious
Are you on the right track to achieve success? Stop for a while, take a look at the map, see the directions, consult somebody or look for assistance.
After that start your journey towards the ways to be successful with full self-confidence.
I mean do so without the tiniest doubt of being derailed.
Their tracks are entirely different from each other leading to various destinations; the location of success and the location of failure.
Either one can learn the best ways to be successful or take an incorrect track doom and gloom, but the best secret to achieve success is to keep oneself on the ideal path.
A very sharp, clear and bright picture of where you are heading is great motivation for an enthusiastic individual to remain vigilant and keep himself focused on the right path versus all odds and obstacles.
It's true that absolutely nothing can be achieved without effort, however, effort alone can not guarantee you to achieve success.
The world is full of poorly paid unskilled workers who are working hard, but not getting enough benefit.
Striving without planning is similar to taking an elevator from the middle of a multi-story structure without knowing which floor you really need to get off at.
It can take you to the leading floor or ground you in the basement.
The majority of people are not able to set goals and objectives simply due to the fact that they have no future vision, no huge dreams and no specific success strategies.
These poor, miserable people have no choice, but to follow the crowd aimlessly.
The unfortunate part of the story is that the crowd is growing larger day-by-hopeless-day without having anyone to lead them to the ideal path to achieve success.
Enjoying the Success Process
Previously I discussed how many were having fun, for example, trading penny stocks and that as a hobby were finding success.
When we can put some enjoyment into what we're chasing after being successful seems to be a result.
Due to the fact that many can not commit themselves fully to the job they are appointed to, these directionless people are lost and don't know for sure what they want.
No surprise, these people are frequently fired by their companies, remain mostly unemployed, survive on social welfare and other public assistance and charities, broke in the end and ultimately buried under heavy debt.
One must distinguish between right-minded and wrong-minded; either achieve success or settle for failure.
The Course in Miracles states, "You are the mirror of truth, in which God Himself shines in perfect light. To the ego's dark glass you say but need, 'I will not look there because I know these images are not true'."
Bringing Passion and Purpose to the Scene
Because we are not allowing the light of our passion and purpose to be in charge, far too often we as humans are filled with uncertainty of the dark.
You just need to keep inspired and keep on moving to the destination you set for yourself when you are on the path of certainty.
The desperate and dark travels through life many take are entirely different from each other leading to different destinations; to achieve success or the destination of mediocrity.
Either one can be on the ideal track to achieve success, or on the path where wealth creation is never accepted into the mind.
The millionaire secrets will help to keep you OFF the wrong-minded track, where you can never find ways to be successful in life, no matter how much effort one puts in.
Effort needs to be invested in keeping yourself inspired and continually reprogramming the subconscious when you are on the right-minded track with a millionaire mindset.
(I like to suggest searching the net for more helpful material on, answering what makes someone successful, wealth creation, and uncovering the secret for financial freedom now.)

To Prepare Yourself For A Better Tomorrow, Do All You Can To Be Your Best Today
The Aggregation Of Small Habits Leads To Greatness
Do you realise your best is yet to come? How do you feel when you read that statement? Do you think: "My best is behind me"? But what if you don't know what you're capable of unless you continue to move forward towards your goals and dreams? Let me give you an example. When Michael Jordan failed making his high school basketball team, do you think his career was over? Perhaps he thought so at the time because not making the team might have seemed like the end of the road for him, but it wasn't. It was the beginning of his career as one of the greatest basketballers of all time. Why? Jordan loved to play basketball and spent hours practicing and fine tuning his skills. The setbacks and defeats he experienced were part of the process to achieve greatness. They were inflection points in his career and why your best is yet to come, as long as you continue moving towards your goals. Warning: you must believe your best is still to come and keep taking the right course of action.
Your best will come from your habits, practice, growth, setbacks, victories and knowledge gained over the years. To prepare for a better tomorrow, we must commit to the tasks of today that lay the foundation for tomorrow. Nothing good can come of delaying that which we must attend to now. Whilst many of our daily tasks or habits can be tedious and time-consuming, with the right mindset they will transform our efforts into achievement. We must do our best whatever that looks like, knowing the aggregation of small habits leads to greatness. This is the essence of what motivational author and speaker Brendon Burchard refers to in High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Become That Way where he writes: "Being on your A game means that you are giving your best effort with full focus on the singular task at hand. To get it, you need to stoke the internal and external demands of necessity. Specifically, you assume the identity of a high performer and you set up situations that require full immersion." How does this idea appeal to you? Is this something you're prepared to invest in or are you already taking inspired action in your life? Whatever the case, investing in ourselves means committing to that which makes our hopes and dreams come alive.
Focus On Priorities That Make You Come Alive
We are the vessel upon which our tomorrow is created or conversely, one in which we will live with regret. Either way, regret is nothing more than ineffective action because we have squandered our time on things that don't matter. To be your best today, requires bringing your whole self to every situation. What do I mean by whole self? I mean the entirety of your being, including your mind, body and spirit. The person who brings their whole self to their task is inspired by a greater purpose for their life. A person who brings their whole self to their undertakings unites with their deeper intent, so each action is purposefully guided and emanates from passion and direct intention. We are the habits of our yesterdays and the victors of our tomorrows. What we plant in our mind and sow into our hearts becomes the seeds of greatness tomorrow.
So what are you committed to? What actions are delivering you tangible results? We must be clear whether our labour compels us to move forward or keeps us stationary. Stagnancy is a misdirected purpose in the form of resistance because we are frightened by the success of tomorrow. Yet, this is the purpose of daily actions and habits: to sharpen the saw as the late Dr. Stephen Covey wrote in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It is the opportunity to refine, review and reward ourselves for actions we undertake that bring our hopes and dreams alive.
Nothing good can come of setting aside that which can be completed now because what we put off for tomorrow compounds and soon enough we face yet another fear. Our task is to minimise fear from our lives, so we can focus on our highest objectives through purposeful action. We ought to pursue things that make us come alive, not make us feel weary and uninspired. We must do away with commitments and obligations that hinder our progress or better still, delegate them to others so we can focus on that which makes us come alive. We must bring forth the song within our heart because this is the song that touches those whom associate with our work. So I ask you: what are you putting off today that may inhibit your tomorrow? Can you commit to the smallest task, even when you feel less inclined to? Without doubt, if we are inspired by some greater purpose, then the smaller tasks will fuel our actions because a better tomorrow is possible when we commit to be our best today.

Wisdom From the Universe: Discover How to Unlock the Power of Your Mind
Are you aware of the full potential your mind has now to bring you happiness, to help you find peace, and to allow you to know more about your future?
The mind of a human being is a wonderous living organ. From one perspective, it keeps the body functions active without direct control or conscious command. From another perspective, it is a vast neural network of thoughts and ideas, flowing freely, sometimes reaching conscious awareness, and sometimes not.
The other aspect of the mind is that of a holder of knowledge. It is often viewed as a repository or filing cabinet. The information is stored in a subconscious neural network and accessed through patterns of conscious thoughts.
But what the mind is in reality is the activity of the brain. It is the electrical impulses flowing through the circuitry of brain. The entire brain runs on an internal electrical system, powered by positive and negative energy. And most important of all, the origin of the source of the internal energetic system which causes the brain to generate electrical impulses, and in turn a system of thoughts, is the source of life energy, often called God.
A universal truth is this: The source of life energy is the Collective Consciousness of Mankind, consisting of positive and negative energy, the totality of all thoughts, ideas, wisdom, knowledge, and memories of all living things which have ever been and will be. This Collective Consciousness, or universal source of life, will sustain all of life in the universe now and always.
Many people wonder about the mind's ability to sustain a body as the body goes through a natural aging cycle, and what relation the mind may have to sustaining the brain even as the physical body ages and/or goes into decline and fails. These mysteries are typically explained first to the general masses in religious terms, as a soul and a destiny which has been determined by a higher evolved being.
From a scientific perspective, every human being must grow, evolve, age, and die, as is the rhythm and cycle of nature. It is difficult for most people to believe they may have already decided on a plan and a purpose for their lives, that they may have come from an energetic source to experience a specific form of life and in a very specific manner. For most people, this flies in the face of living in accordance to some being's will.
But having this knowledge can be freeing as it opens life in new and meaningful ways. It takes the fear out of not knowing what tomorrow may bring, and it takes away the need to plead in earnest to someone or some entity for help.
The Source of Life
There is a life force, life source, life essence, and an origin of life. It is the energetic source that sustains all of life, flowing all around us at all times. You will notice it when the wind blows, when you put your hand in the river, or you feel rain falling from the sky. You know intuitively there is energy all around you.
The Source of Life as Energy
The energetic source of life is bound together by the memories and thoughts of mankind, which are a form of energy. There was positive and negative energy, from which consciousness evolved, followed by extensions into physical forms. The physical forms were chosen to create new memories, flowing to the collective energy, which in turn created a Collective Consciousness of Mankind.
Within this Collective Consciousness of Mankind are negative memories and thoughts, along with positive memories and thoughts. All energy must be balanced with positive and negative energy. Within positive energy a higher form of energy evolved from the wisdom, insight, and teachings of mankind, a Higher Order Collective Consciousness. It is part of a fluid Collective Consciousness energetic field and it is accessible by the mind of any man, woman, or child at any time.
The Human Mind as a Transmitter and Receiver
The human mind is always transmitting and receiving impulses and signals, as long as the brain is still alive and active. In turn, mankind is connected to the Collective Consciousness at all times, even without consciously realizing it. Some people are more attuned to this energetic source, when they are not afraid to listen.
Those who pray can listen and receive wisdom from the source of life energy; however, it is done with a label on it as the truth can be too challenging to accept, that someone else or some other being is not dictating control of their lives.
Some people prefer to focus on negative thoughts and that blocks access to wisdom from Higher Order Collective Consciousness. Negative energy is destructive in the long-term. It creates deteriorating effects on the mind and the human body.
Positivity and the Mind
There is so much written about the concept of positivity as people seem to understand the importance of a positive focus and mindset. Yet if it is so well understood, why must so much be written about it? Because most is written from a superficial rather than energetic perspective. A change has to come from a point of focus internally and a willingness to attune to positive energy, such as the positive energy associated with happy memories, and redirect attention to the best in their life. When that happens, wisdom, insight, creativity, and happiness flow through.
But for many people, a habit of a negative focus being maintained for so long becomes a natural feeling, as if it feels good to feel internally disrupted and in turmoil. The longer this condition and state of mind goes on, the more challenging it is to change it.
Unlock the True Potential of Your Mind
If you want to understand the power of your mind, unlock the true potential it holds, you cannot just state a few words or look at a few photos. Even if you can think happy thoughts, you still need a plan for change. To begin, find some way to be distracted.
You can accomplish this goal by writing, painting, singing, decorating your house, riding a bike, swimming, exercising, shopping, walking, going out in nature, spending time with your pet, or anything else similar that you can do on a regular basis which allows your mind to be distracted from the outside noise of life. As you get into an emotional free zone, use this time to be purposeful and find happy memories to focus on and guide you to a place of intent to change.
These can be memories with family and friends, or memories of your greatest accomplishments. Cultivate those memories, remember the feelings and the minute details about what occurred. Bring them to life again within your mind. As you practice this technique more often, you will find yourself beginning to tune your mind towards the positive energy stream and flow from the Collective Consciousness of Mankind, along with Higher Order Collective Consciousness, and wisdom will now flow much more freely to you and through you.
You will now find yourself knowing how to face situations in your life and why you can live in peace as you will feel the growing connection and an attunement to the best of the life source energy. The questions about your life will diminish and you will trust yourself more. It will feel like a gut instinct but you will know its true source. Now is the time to begin to unlock the true power and potential of your mind. It only takes your belief and a willingness to accept your life without limits, and your mind without control.

The mind of a human being is a wonderous living organ. From one perspective, it keeps the body functions active without direct control or conscious command. From another perspective, it is a vast neural network of thoughts and ideas, flowing freely, sometimes reaching conscious awareness, and sometimes not.
The other aspect of the mind is that of a holder of knowledge. It is often viewed as a repository or filing cabinet. The information is stored in a subconscious neural network and accessed through patterns of conscious thoughts.
But what the mind is in reality is the activity of the brain. It is the electrical impulses flowing through the circuitry of brain. The entire brain runs on an internal electrical system, powered by positive and negative energy. And most important of all, the origin of the source of the internal energetic system which causes the brain to generate electrical impulses, and in turn a system of thoughts, is the source of life energy, often called God.
A universal truth is this: The source of life energy is the Collective Consciousness of Mankind, consisting of positive and negative energy, the totality of all thoughts, ideas, wisdom, knowledge, and memories of all living things which have ever been and will be. This Collective Consciousness, or universal source of life, will sustain all of life in the universe now and always.
Many people wonder about the mind's ability to sustain a body as the body goes through a natural aging cycle, and what relation the mind may have to sustaining the brain even as the physical body ages and/or goes into decline and fails. These mysteries are typically explained first to the general masses in religious terms, as a soul and a destiny which has been determined by a higher evolved being.
From a scientific perspective, every human being must grow, evolve, age, and die, as is the rhythm and cycle of nature. It is difficult for most people to believe they may have already decided on a plan and a purpose for their lives, that they may have come from an energetic source to experience a specific form of life and in a very specific manner. For most people, this flies in the face of living in accordance to some being's will.
But having this knowledge can be freeing as it opens life in new and meaningful ways. It takes the fear out of not knowing what tomorrow may bring, and it takes away the need to plead in earnest to someone or some entity for help.
The Source of Life
There is a life force, life source, life essence, and an origin of life. It is the energetic source that sustains all of life, flowing all around us at all times. You will notice it when the wind blows, when you put your hand in the river, or you feel rain falling from the sky. You know intuitively there is energy all around you.
The Source of Life as Energy
The energetic source of life is bound together by the memories and thoughts of mankind, which are a form of energy. There was positive and negative energy, from which consciousness evolved, followed by extensions into physical forms. The physical forms were chosen to create new memories, flowing to the collective energy, which in turn created a Collective Consciousness of Mankind.
Within this Collective Consciousness of Mankind are negative memories and thoughts, along with positive memories and thoughts. All energy must be balanced with positive and negative energy. Within positive energy a higher form of energy evolved from the wisdom, insight, and teachings of mankind, a Higher Order Collective Consciousness. It is part of a fluid Collective Consciousness energetic field and it is accessible by the mind of any man, woman, or child at any time.
The Human Mind as a Transmitter and Receiver
The human mind is always transmitting and receiving impulses and signals, as long as the brain is still alive and active. In turn, mankind is connected to the Collective Consciousness at all times, even without consciously realizing it. Some people are more attuned to this energetic source, when they are not afraid to listen.
Those who pray can listen and receive wisdom from the source of life energy; however, it is done with a label on it as the truth can be too challenging to accept, that someone else or some other being is not dictating control of their lives.
Some people prefer to focus on negative thoughts and that blocks access to wisdom from Higher Order Collective Consciousness. Negative energy is destructive in the long-term. It creates deteriorating effects on the mind and the human body.
