Where You Want To Be
Barry was on the phone in his office, speaking with confidence,energy and passion. In his office were a number of removal men working quickly movingfurniture out the door to the van parked outside. Before long theoffice was bare except for some old files, a cracked pictureframe and a parched plant. Just then a tall man in a dark suit entered the building with aswagger. He found Barry still on the phone, standing in a cornerof the empty office. His voice echoed around the empty room ashe finished his conversation and hung up and placed the phoneback on the floor. Barry reached into his pocket to find his keyring, he selectedthe car key and reluctantly handed it over. The man in the suitgrabed it before walking outside and driving off at high speed inthe car. John walked in to see Barry just as all of this was happening. Hewas surprised at how relaxed and confident Barry was given thecircumstances. You see, Barry had just lost his business and theremoval men had arrived to repossess his furniture while the carleasing company had taken back the Rolls Royce because thepayments had fallen into arrears. John was here for the same reason - to collect an unpaid debt.Although it was clear now that there was little chance of gettingany money. So John and Barry did a deal. If Barry would teach himhow he could be so cool in the face of pressure than the debtwould be regarded as paid. This is what Barry said to him: **The big secret in life is to train your mind to think onlyabout what you want to happen and to keep your thoughts off ofwhat you do not want. Despite the fact that I have just lost mybusiness, my car, and my office I just got off the phone, beforeit gets disconnected, after negotiating what could be one of mybiggest deals ever. Always keep your mind picturing what you really want and THINKABOUT WHERE YOU WANT TO BE and not where you are. Stress is whathappens when you put your attention on the wrong things.** And now over to you. Most people live life in a trance withoutnoticing the thoughts that are flying around inside their headsall day long. Spend more time each day spotting what you thinkabout, you will likely find that you often run through all thethings that could go wrong as well as seeing situations workingout as being only o.k. Next, review a recent event where the pressure was on and youfroze. How did you manage to put yourself in such anunresourceful state. What thoughts were going through your mind. More than likely you created big pictures in your mind of thingsgoing wrong. Get into the habit of expecting things to work out and you willfind yourself picturing life running more smoothly. You will thenfeel more confident, people will respond to you differently andyou will get better results. Before long you will see that it isa self fulfilling prophecy. Peter Murphy

Instant Frequency Boosters: 10 Fast and Simple Ways to Raise Your Vibration When you're feeling "low," or out of the flow, it's a sign that you need to raise your frequency. There are infinite ways you can lift yourself up-pretty much anything that makes you feel better is a frequency booster-even eating ice cream! (The problem with that, though, is that, along with the pleasure in consuming it comes the guilt and remorse about the future ramifications of the indulgence, as well as the immediate toll that the sugar takes on your body and mind, all of which can easily lower your frequency!) Think-what is it that always makes you feel better when you're feeling less than great? Is it exercise? A soak in the tub? A walk in the park? Time in your garden? A snuggle with your sweetie? Why do these activities lift your spirits? It's because they raise your frequency. The higher your frequency, the better and more joyful you feel! The most effective frequency boosters are the ones that quickly align you with your divine design and purpose, and bring you into synch with the natural world. Positive Things To Do For Yourself Being a mom can take a toll on your body, your mind, and your soul. I know I am a mom to 3 wonderful but hyper boys ages 11, 9 and 3 and there are days where I really need to take a break from everything that goes on around me. You Must Change the 148,000 Nos In Your Subconscious to Yes What does it take to succeed? How can you move forward - no, take a quantum leap forward - in your achievements, in realizing your dreams? All My Needs, Desires, and Goals are Met -- INSTANTANEOUSLY I get emails and questions from people all the time who are frustrated because they have read all types of self-help books, attended all types of motivational seminars, received personal coaching and yet, they still are unable to live the life that they dream of living. Taking Responsibility for Yourself This week I happened to catch a few minutes of a popular talk show on television, and the topic was confessions. A young man was confessing to his girlfriend of 5 years that he had cheated on her with her best friend. Not too unusual these days I guess. But what he said next floored me. "It was an accident. One thing led to another and before I knew it, we were having sex." Where Do You Get A Positive Attitude You Asked? How are you? Where do you get a positive attitude you asked? How Do You Habitually Treat Yourself? In order to learn how to relieve ourselves of self-defeating patterns, the obvious first step is to become aware of what these patterns are. Train Your Brain, Or Cook Your Goose! One day while in deep meditation and self analysis, a paralyzed man discovered the most important person he would ever meet in his life. He saw very clearly that HE was a "mind with a body". And, right then he made the most important decision he would ever make. Discover what it was. Change Your Perception and Your World Will Change! Introduction Negative Thoughts to Positive Thoughts Changing Negative Thoughts into Positive Thoughts is a key lesson to becoming healthy and successful. Teens And Positive Living If you are a parent, it is up to you to keep your children positive. It is up to you to contribute to not only their physical well being, but also their emotional well being. In the teen years, it is nothing short of impossible to keep your daughter or son positive. But, you need to make that effort. The best way to do so is to encourage communication, openness, and most importantly, let them know that you will never fault them. Affirmations to Improve Your Life An affirmation is a positive assertion, a solemn declaration, a way to change your way of thinking. You can use affirmations to improve performance and results in all areas of your life. The "positive action" self-talk of specific affirmations is beneficial to achieving desired outcomes. The Enchanted Self - Thats Each of Us! In my years as a psychologist, I have come to believe that most people seeking psychotherapy are unhappy. This is not only due to earlier hurts and traumas, as well as present frustrations and problems, but because they cannot access earlier happy moments often enough. The unfortunate result is not being able to experience enough positive states of well-being. It is these unique states of well being that I have come to label THE ENCHANTED SELF. The Language of Confidence The language we use programs our brains. Mastering our language gives us a great degree of mastery over our lives and our destinies. It is important to use language in the best way possible in order to dramatically improve your quality of life. Self-Confidence Sliding Downward! There are times in all of our lives where our self-confidence wanes!! This past week was one of those weeks for me. I questioned the work I was doing, both on the web sites and on our crafts. I found myself wondering if all my time and effort was worthwhile. Would our newfound business provide the income we needed? Is my work good enough for others to want to buy or to read? These are only a few of the questions that ran through my mind. And, with every question, my self-confidence was sliding downward! As A Man Thinketh... "For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you (but is grudging the cost)." Prov. 23:7 (Amplified) Acceptance as a Path to Inner Peace Inevitably in life we will face disappointment from time to time. Sometimes they may be little disappointments, and other times they may be great, big, heart-wrenching disappointments. When this happens to us, we have a choice in how we react. Some of us may give up on our dreams, others may keep fighting stubbornly against the tide, and still others may choose another path to travel. Improve Your Self Confidence Knowing yourself is the foundation of self-esteem, self confidence and personal development. Man has been seeking himself since the days of the Oracle of Delphi. "Know yourself" said the Oracle, but she spoke in riddles and the men who had come a long way to get a simple answer from her wise lips went away even more confused. Watch Your Mouth Ever had one of those mothers, or grandmothers, who would often say, "Be careful what you ask for?" Does Life Really Stink? One of my class fellows was really tensed, when asked the reason, he was really tensed over his future. It is a true fact that most of us despite a very good education remain uncertain of our future. Especially in a country like Pakistan where there is no job security whatsoever it may be, people are disillusioned. What we look for in a life? Financial security, professional stability, a good family life and for people of substance, peace of mind (certainly not supposed to be read as a piece of mind). All of us have our insecurities and in majority of cases, we spend our entire life dealing with our insecurities. Some would spend their entire life looking for love without knowing what it really is. Some of us spend their entire life just to earn money for at least two generations, we revert to God. However, majority of us live, rather they are forced to live a life without any direction totally aimless life where they accept whatever comes their way and are least concerned about living a better life. And probably that is why very few people would come up with a proper answer to the question. We hardly ever have time or energy to think about some thing as fickle as life. In fact we give in ourselves to our fate to such an extent that we refuse to bring any change in our life even if is well within our control. Its not that we cannot do anything to come out of the mess. It's just that we don't want to.
