I learned that there is no difference between a person who wants to achieve something small, compared to someone who wants to achieve big. The only difference is the choice. Yeah, a bigger dream may take a little longer, but the truth is that it is the same, meaning anybody can do it. Big dreams carry the same process to complete as the small dreams. If you think you can, and you take the required action, it is done.

There are people who do ever day what you probably dream about doing, and they do it without thinking so hard about it. For example, if you have been driving for a while now, then I’m sure you don’t think about driving as you do it, you just do it right? There are kids who have a burning desire to drive and they can’t get it off their mind. Some wonder whether they can even do it, some just can’t wait. Remember, you do it all of the time, without thinking about it. It is the same for being a millionaire. You may want to be one, but don’t look at it as if it is the hardest thing to do, because there are plenty of different people who are. Its not as hard as you think, just don’t think too hard, relax.

Increase your faith. Live a little and go beyond what you currently believe you can do. Believe more, and you will see more. There is no limit to what you can make happen. If someone asked another person to walk on water they would say that is impossible. However, it is recorded in history that Jesus did it, and he said that anything he does on earth we can do the same, plus more. So it’s time we start living in faith and doing what some may say is impossible. Although “Impossible is not a word in my dictionary - Walt.”

“I can guarantee this truth: This is what will be done for someone who doesn’t doubt but believes what he says will happen: He can say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it will be done for him.” - Mark 11:22-23

Consistency is a must! There is no way that you could truly be successful at anything without being consistent in taking the action. Whenever you start something, finish it! Don’t slack off, not once, no matter the condition. Doing so, tells yourself unconsciously that it is ok to slack off. Then next thing you know you are slacking off on everything. You don’t want that. You want to tell yourself that consistency is a must, and it is apart of you.

Think about this. You have a goal to knock down a very large tree. It is you, and an ax. You are excited at first about knocking down this tree. However, after a while, you become tired and you see that the tree hasn’t fail yet according to your expectations. So you give up, and your left by yourself with an ax and a tree that is still standing. Common sense would tell you that you would need to keep hitting the tree in order for it to fall. The truth is, eventually it will fall, but if you quit and give up then it won’t. It really doesn’t take a big person to get the job done. You don’t have to be the strongest person either. You just need the right tools, and consistency in using those tools over and over again. As you do it over and over again, bit by bit of the tree will be cut, and eventually it will have no choice but to fall.

Now the example above clearly demonstrates the way success is at anything. Apply consistency with the right tools and you will accomplish what ever you wish. The right tools in this case would be having the right mindset, and believing in yourself that anything is possible. You also need to become conscious of the thing you are trying to do. These are the tools, but without action they are useless. It’s like a hammer and a bunch of nails, just sitting around without being used. Once you have the tools you have to take the action and be consistent. With genuine faith added, you will accomplish anything it is you desire. Regardless of what others may think.

Every winner knows that enthusiasm is key to being successful and performing great. Without enthusiasm you lack the energy boost that could leap you into achievement. If you are walking slowly around at your job with your head down with no energy, you shouldn’t expect great results at all. Definitely don’t expect a raise. People want those who are enthusiastic about everything, in other words, they want someone with an enthusiastic personality and character. With this particular trait, it enables confidence for others to trust you to get the job done.

If you go to a clothing store and ask an associate for help, lets say you do go to an unenthusiastic person. They are not going to perform at their highest potential, their goal is to make it until its time to get off. However, if you go to someone who has a lot of energy and is very enthusiastic, they will be more than happy (and excited) to help you. Someone who wants to help you will give you more as opposed to someone who is walking around lifeless. So if you need help and if the associate is not already smiling before you approach them, look for someone else. You want 100% effort, not 5. Besides, enthusiastic people get enthusiastic tips!

Anything that you do, look at the results that you have been getting from doing it in the past. Take note, and then start applying enthusiasm to it. I guarantee you will start to see different if not dramatic results. The point is to have fun, be energetic and alive. This is your natural state of being. You are supposed to live this way. God would much rather see his people enthusiastic about life rather than walking around like a zombie.

Enthusiasm counts for everything. You can take it and apply it to anything that you are doing. Your business, job, relationship, exercise, driving your car, anything. The important thing as Nike said it best, is to “Just Do It”. It won’t hurt you to be more enthusiastic. Really, whether you believe it or not, it actually doesn’t take too much of a requirement either. Only thing you have to do is decide to be enthusiastic. Everything else falls into place. You will feel more energetic, and happy. Its a simple choice, you just have to forget the fact that you “think” you are tired. The truth is you are what you think and feel. Choose Enthusiasm.

More opportunities can be seen for those who are enthusiastic. No one on the face of the earth would want to not be enthusiastic. Although many are unenthusiastic, and don’t know why or how to be. As I said earlier, it starts with the decision to be enthusiastic. Then, you must actually be enthusiastic.

So upgrade now to enthusiasm and you will see immediate results! Plus when you choose to upgrade, you get lifetime support from God! So don’t wait, offer ends when you end. Tomorrow is not promised, live for the moment!

Where attention goes power flows! What are you giving your attention to? Give your attention and focus to the things in your life today that you enjoy, that you appreciate, and love. Don’t give any attention or pay any mind (invest) to anything you don’t want to show up in your life. If something doesn’t go your way, let it be, and look for the good thing that came out of the situation. You can never change anything for the better by constantly complaining about something. However, you can change many things by changing your view of those things and seeing them in a totally different way.

The power is held within you, and you choose what to give your power to. If you give your power to things that are irrelevant to you enjoying life, then you will be irritated. Learn to bring the focus back to were it should be, your power is within you. Trying to fix everything because you don’t like it, is only going to make things worse. Fix the thought patterns within you by becoming that positive person with a positive view and purpose. The life that comes surrounds you comes from what goes on within you.

Attention Deficit Disorder is where people (usually at a child’s age) are easily distracted. Although there are plenty of adults who unknowingly share the same symptoms. Whenever you set a goal or you have a desire to do anything, you normally plan to do or have it. For the first day it sometimes seem as if you can’t get your mind off of it because you are so excited about it. Then as soon as something you don’t like comes your way you are easily distracted and all of your attention is taken away from your goal. Next thing you know, you are spending all of your time and attention on that thing or things that you don’t want, and at the same time unconsciously bringing more of the same situations and circumstances.

There should be a point where you understand that self discipline is a must. You must learn to master yourself and your life, or something else will master you. You don’t want that. I recommend getting clear on what it is you want to do. Do it right, work at it efficiently by focusing the required attention on that thing you desire until it manifests. Where most people fail is not focusing 100% of their mind on the life they want. They are too busy building up the things they don’t even want.

Concentration exercises are very good for something like this, although I don’t think you would really need it if it were something you really wanted without a doubt in your mind. The person with the worst case of Attention Deficit Disorder could easily focus his attention on something that he really wanted and desired. Most people who are trying to live a life to enjoy need to understand this. The only way this could actually work is to find out what it is you actually want to do. Once you have that, or those things, then you can go about taking the action to receive those things. As you do so, if you really wanted it, there should be no distraction worthy of your attention if you are clear on what you want.

Get clear, know what you want. Make sure that it is something that you really want so that no distraction of negativity will hold you back from getting what you desire. Make it your purpose to live that life you want, and don’t let anyone or anything come in the way of your laser sharp focus on your goal. I told a good friend of mine named Sunny, Founder and Ceo of Desinotes.com about focusing on what you want is just like looking through a magnifying glass. What you focus on grows.

In a recent post You are looking into a mirror, I talk about how your life around you is a direct reflection of what is going on within you. You should know that the way you treat other people is exactly how you treat yourself. You reap what you sow, what goes around comes around, or karma is what many call this. It makes no sense to treat someone with disrespect and then turn around and demand respect from someone else and expect to get it. It just doesn’t work that way. The best way of understanding this is to know that you really are looking into a mirror, and a mirror never lies.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Golden Rule- “Do to others as you would have them do to you”. This is straight from the Bible. What it is telling us is simple, treat everyone the same way you want to be treated. Single people who are looking to get into a relationship to find love are going the wrong way. Instead of trying to find love, you should first become a loving person. Then as you are that loving person, without searching, you will attract to you, that person you truly want deep down inside. That person you attract will be that exact match for you, even if you don’t think so. However the only way it works is if you allow that right person to come to you instead of trying to force it to happen.

We of course all want to live happy, peaceful, and wealthy. The first step as I said earlier is to become that what you want to be. Once you do that successfully, you attract those things to you. What you must keep in mind is that you need to treat people in line with what you desire. If you desire a happy, peaceful lifestyle, then you need to be happy and peaceful and share that with others. You share that with others by treating them in those particular ways you want to be treated, happy and peaceful. The cool part about it, when you treat someone good, they will most likely pass it on to someone else, and so on.

So remember the Golden Rule and treat others the way you would want to be treated. Don’t expect your treatment to come back exactly how you give it from the same person you give it to. You never know, God may want to bless you through someone else. This is were many make the mistake, they give to people, and expect to be magnificently blessed through that same person. When you think and act in that way you are really limiting yourself due to the fact that there could be a large number of others who are waiting to return your treatment. So never put all of your focus on waiting for a certain person to return your blessing to you, just keep busy treating people right and keep it moving.

There is a large percentage of people in debt these days. It seems as if their main goal is to get out of debt. This is where their mind is the entire time, getting out of debt. When you ask them what do they want, they say “to get out of debt”. Many successful and wealthy people will tell you that they definitely did not get to where they were by having a “get out of debt” mindset.

There is only one way out of debt, and you cant possibly keep thinking about it and expect it to go away. This is where the majority of people make the mistake when attempting to get out of debt. They say thy don’t want to be in debt so much, that it is all they think about. If we know that thoughts become things, real things, then what could you possibly expect to happen to someone who consistently thinks about the same thing? Being in debt vs getting out of debt at the end of the day you are thinking about “debt”. What you focus your attention on grows stronger in your life. You don’t get out of something by thinking about being in it. Expand your limits in your mind and step out to a new level of faith.

When you think debt, regardless of how you word it in your mind, your subconscious looks for the keyword. It picks up on that keyword that you are always thinking and acts on giving you what you think about, or ask for. The key to really getting out of debt is to place all of your focus and attention (-love) on being financially free. Don’t just try not to think small, just think big. Remember losers play not to lose, winners play to win, whats your motive? You get what you think about mostly, how about getting something you actually want?

Some make good suggestions to set up an automatic debt repayment program. The way it works is you set up an automated way of paying your debt and then forget about it. When you do this, you are paying your debt off through an automated program that you set, and you begin to start focusing on financial freedom. As you begin to focus on financial freedom, then you are programming a financial free mindset. This way all you are thinking about is financial freedom, which also means you will most certainly get what you ask for. With this mindset, a similar lifestyle will have no choice but to follow. You choose the mindset, you might as well choose freely, financial freely that is

“Bad company corrupts good character.” - 1 Corinthians 15:33

I would have to say that the worst way to drain your energy is listening to negativity from other people. Listening to their whining and complaining is not only annoying, but sometimes just listening causes you to feel just as horrible as they do. As a positive person, you don’t want to get too close to negative people, or have them overstay their welcome either. There are certain things you must do to remain positive around negative people. Negative people need help, and you can give it to them while keeping your distance at the same time.

Negative people most of the time don’t feel appreciated by anyone. This explains why they get in such a rebellious mood and attack everybody and everything. They think as if the world is against them, when in fact it is not. The only thing out to get them, is themselves. Perception is everything, it is how we live and view life. Obviously negative people have a perception that they are not loved or appreciated, which causes them to go in a defense mode. A great way to help them if this is the case would be to show them that you are listening, and you are there to help. You are listening, but you are not just listening to all of the crap that they are telling you just to hear it. You are listening so that you can put things together and come up with a valuable solution to the problem. So the key thing in this situation is to listen for a solution, rather than listening to the problem itself without making a suggestion of turning things around. Otherwise you will get caught in th same negative trap that they got trapped in. You are the hero, its up to you to save them

Now, as for the negative people who are just negative for no reason whatsoever, stay distance from them. Set limits, do not allow them to invade your space. Do not listen in on their occult practices…..I mean discussions (same thing). You don’t have to even respond to the negative things they say to you, after all it wouldn’t help if both of you are negative. When you are in a situation when someone like this is around you, always speak with authority, be consistent in being positive around them. If you do it correctly, its like sunlight shining on these dark negative vampires (or people, again, same thing) and they will leave you in no time. The important thing that you must remember and keep in mind all day long is to remain positive at all times as if your life depended on it, oh wait, it does.

5 Guaranteed Steps To End Negativity

1.Wear headphones over your ears. Take them off and on every time you see them. When they ask, tell them its BS protectors.

2.The next time you pass them by, say “You know what, I don’t care what other people say about you, you are a good person.” And when they ask who talks about them, just close your eyes and skip away humming to yourself.

3.Put both of you index fingers together to form a cross and back away slowly every time you see them.

4.Smile very enthusiastically with your mouth open as wide as you possibly can every time they come near you, this will surely scare them away.

5.Every time they come around you put your hands over your ears, one day they will get it.

Negative people are crap magnets, which means they attract more and more negative people, situations, and circumstances to them. Do everything you can to be positive so that you will attract good things in your life, preferably the things you want. Don’t forget to lead by example, although negative people are annoying, it is still up to you to do what you can to help them by showing you care and appreciate them.

The biggest mistake people do when they want something new, is they forget to change. In order to have something new you have to be someone new. You have to do something new. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the exact definition of insanity. We are all guilty of it, and there is only one thing that must take place for a new thing to happen, change. Changing first starts by changing your thinking, of course. Then you will have new feelings, good feelings hopefully, that are in accordance with what you want. As you go about doing the work required to receive whatever it is you ask for, you should be doing it fairly different than you would have before. A change in your world can be done and will be done as long as there is a change in your thinking patterns and consciousness.

Becoming that person or having that thing you desire would require you to become conscious of that thing or that person you want to be. Consciousness is a certain mind state or a certain level of thinking. With a different mind state, you can live and look at life differently than what you did in the past. For example, someone could past by an open field everyday on their way to work, or wherever it is they are going and think nothing of it. There could also be another person who would pass by that same field and see opportunity to create a subdivision or a shopping center or any type of business that would be of value. The difference in the two people are not the people themselves but the choice of thoughts and the level of their consciousness, that is the only thing different about them. Anyone can do anything another person can do, and even better. Limits do not exist in this world, and we are becoming more and more aware of it everyday.

So the important thing to do is to be that person you want to be that you know you are not now. Maybe you have that gut feeling or desire to do something, to have something, or to be something. You have probably had this feeling, and you think about it often. That feeling and desire that you have is something that is given to you. The word desire in the Latin terms means “of the father”. So that feeling that you get (good of course) means it is God giving you that feeling. If God is telling you anything you should jump to act on it right then and there. It has been said many times that you should follow your gut, because it is always right, as long as you listen and follow directions.
