The other day I was sharing to you about the effects that the ‘little voice’ inside your head has on your ability to manifest abundance into your life. In short, to condense the Spiritual Law-of-Attraction, the most powerful force in the Universe. You attract what you think about most whether you want it or not.

Your negative thoughts and chatter inside your head will cancel even your best intentions, no matter how hard you plan, set goals, or strive to get ahead. So today, I’m going to give you a few suggestions on how to turn that doubting little voice into your Greatest Supporter!

Let’s get straight to it…

1. Begin speaking kindly and lovingly to yourself

Remember, that little voice in your head will keep repeating what you consistently tell it to. In the past you may have been harsh on yourself when you failed at something or didn’t follow through with goals you set. Cut yourself some slack! Remember that what you manifest into your reality tomorrow is dependant on what you think today.

The Universe holds nothing in escrow as punishment for past failures. Everything you think, feel and do today however is going to shape the life you experience tomorrow and into your future. Recording over that negative voice with more positive messages is very simple with a little practice just keep speaking kindly and lovingly to yourself as often as possible. Remind yourself often of how wonderful, kind and loving you really are. In time, the tone of that mental voice will begin to change.

2. Celebrate your achievements

If you believe that nothing you do is ever good enough, begin making it a priority to celebrate everything you do. Even the tiniest accomplishment should be cause for celebration. Pat yourself on the back, congratulate yourself, and most importantly feel good about who you are and what you do. Keep striving to do better, but also give yourself some recognition for even trying! I’m going to do a post-it note, every time I do something good I put it on a post-it note with the date and stick it on the wall. Over time it should become a great source of inspiration when I walk past it.

3. Believe that abundance is your birthright

Keep affirming that you do deserve an abundant and happy life. Expect abundance and goodness in all forms. Say things like this, “I just know I’m meant to live a powerful life. I believe I have the strength and ability to make my life into anything I want it to be.”
If you know you deserve abundance, expect abundance always, and allow yourself to open to abundance, you get abundance! Remember that it will probably take some time to get used to these little practices but I can assure you it’s highly worth it!

Keep doing the steps as often as you can, and before long you should find yourself feeling lighter and happier, and attracting ever-increasing amounts of salary into your bank account.

Hey there, Do you ever have days that just turn into a downward spiral and make you wish like you never got out of bed? Well, if you are, I’m sure you’re able to recall what those days feel like. When this happens, we’re essentially giving up our control, we are relinquishing command to the mercy of others and the events of the day. These are the days when we should be standing up and saying, “I am the boss, I’m in charge of how I feel!”

To do this you have to take greater control over your focus. By focus I mean, of course, your thoughts and emotions. It’s definitely not easy to avoid being influenced by the things you experience day to day, especially if you’re not used to controlling your own thoughts and emotions. Sometimes no matter how hard you try, you keep slipping back into old habits and losing your focus. Here’s two tips that I use almost everyday to keep control. Give them a try next time you feel things starting to slip away!

1) “I choose to believe [blank] ….”

This statement can come in very handy when you start falling back into negative thinking. One little thing will happen and suddenly you’ll find yourself locked into a negative state of mind where nothing is going right and nothing ever will! When you notice this happening, you can take control immediately by saying things that counteract the negative things you were just thinking.

Examples:

“I choose to believe that everything will work out just fine.”
“I choose to believe that I control my thoughts and emotions.”
“I choose to believe that great success is my destiny.”
“I choose to believe that I can do anything I desire.”

Just remove the focus from negative expectations and thoughts, and replace them with more positive (and powerful) affirmations.

2) “I choose to feel [blank] ….”

It’s easy to forget that you really do have the power to choose your emotional state, and this little statement can help remind you! Whenever you notice you’re starting to feel down or aggravated, choose the emotion you want to feel instead.

“I choose to feel calm.”
“I choose to feel happy.”
“I choose to feel inspired.”
“I choose to feel optimistic.”

Then, of course, once you’ve chosen a more positive emotion, you need to focus on actually feeling it. That may sound difficult, but it’s not if you use the power of your thoughts. Think about something that makes you feel calm, happy, inspired or optimistic. It can be something from your past, something you want to experience, or something that’s just pure fantasy. As long as it inspires the right emotions, you’re on the right track!
It takes a little bit of time at first, but once you get into the habit, you’ll find it happens almost on autopilot.

Do you believe attitude count? Some people will never get what they want. They simply lack of necessary attitude. Think for a moment, what are the building element of a successful attitude?

1. The ‘need’ to accomplish something worthwhile must be present constantly in the back of your mind.

2. A burning desire must take over your soul, You must want to succeed to the point of obsession.

3. You must believe you’re capable of accomplishment! The unshakable faith, that you’ll overcome any obstacle will give you the necessary courage and persist long enough until you won.

4. Take action without any further delays. An old Chinese proverb say it “Even a trip of one thousand miles starts with one step.” You can’t do everything in one day but you can at least start today and that’s the first step. And tomorrow another step, then another. Remove self doubts from your mind by getting started and keeping busy.

5. Get special knowledge, don’t be afraid of admitting your ignorance. We live today in a complex world. You can’t find one person that really knows everything. That’s why people specialize in various fields. It’s not only a complex world we live in, but it’s also a specialized world. We live on a planet where expertise matters. Now the question is how do you become an expert. You achieve this by going to somebody who can teach you the particular subject you are interested in. For example, if you want to learn drawing you won’t go to a chef, because he would teach you cooking, but not drawing. Then where will you go? It’s obvious. To somebody who is qualified and can teach you typing. The same principle apply when you want to achieve something or goal in your career. You’re not going to learn how to achieve it from people if they’re not in the same industry with you. What you’ll have to do is to go to someone who have the necessary skill that you want, ask him to show you how.

Sometimes all it takes is a simple change in attitude to turn your life around. During days when I feel like I’m in the dumps, I’ll adjust my thinking and plant more positive seeds of thought. Usually it works. Of course, it doesn’t work 100% all the time, but majority of the time I would say that it does uplift my mood.

The number one enemy of success is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of bad health, fear of loss of love, fear of old age, fear of death and the fear of what other people might think. More people failed from the fear of failing, than from failure itself.

The moment you are afraid of something, your mind becomes paralyzed. It’s unable to function creatively and becomes incapable of solving your problems. I would suggest that you get rid of all your fears at once. Otherwise you’ll spend the rest of your life not only as a mediocre person, but as a total failure as well. Whether you catch yourself being afraid of something, ask the following question: “What is the worst thing that can happen and what difference will it make 200 years from now?” The moment you succeed in overcoming your fears, you’ll become instantly a new person. Your creative juices will start flowing, your energy will be inexhaustible and nothing will be able to stop you from reaching your goals in life.

Just look around yourself. Individuals who have overcome their fear are successful. Remember children when they learn to walk upright? How often they lose their balance and fall back on their behinds? But they always get up and try it again and again, until the day comes that they’re capable of walking without any difficulties, right?

Starts by doing something you’re afraid of and abandon your fears. Get lost in action and put your heart into it, just imagine somebody is pointing a loaded pistol at your head. It’s a matter of life and death, if you succeed it’ll mean living; if you fail, it’s the bullet you’ll get. If you ever get trapped in a similar situation, try your best. So let think constantly of that loaded pistol pointing at us. At first, you too might lose your balance and fall like the child, but practice make permanent and perfect as well, You’ll succeed too in everything if you just try hard enough and long enough.

It’s an undeniable fact that everything you know today, you know because you have learnt it by trying and practicing it time after time. Nobody was born knowing how to read and write, or ride a bicycle. Every person who drives a car, has learnt it somewhere. It’s during the practicing period, only while trying, you learn to overcome your fear.

Life can be very pleasurable and exciting journey, but only if you succeed in overcoming your fears. Always remember there is nothing to fear, but fear itself.

“Who am I?” You’ve asked yourself this question probably more than once. And the chances are you still don’t know even if you think you’ve found the correct answer. Let me share with you some comments on this subject.

Nine months before coming into this world you were just a tiny little sperm among 200 million others. Then what happened? You were the fastest, the strongest, the quickest of them all! You became the winner in a race where 200 million others were competing for the first place. You were the one who made it! Nine months later you were born. You were a tiny helpless infant who had to depend on others for survival. You had to be fed, cleaned, protected, and looked after. At the age of two you had already realized that you couldn’t survive without the life giving support of people (means parents). You would go hungry and die without them. You knew nothing, they seemed to know everything. You couldn’t walk properly, couldn’t open doors by yourself, couldn’t even communicate with others. You felt little and inferior compared to these superior being. You learnt to depend on them without questioning their actions. You had to seek their approval and please them, otherwise they would punish you. They seemed to have all the answers, while you were still trying to figure out things for yourself. In most matters you have learnt to accept their judgment.

“Don’t do that!”
“You are careless!”
“You are clumsy!”
“You are stupid!”
“You are wrong!”
“You’ll never learn!”

Bombarded daily by hundreds of directives telling you what’s right and what’s wrong, you were being programmed constantly, you felt inadequate and inferior in relation to grown-up people more and more every day. At the age of three your logic has already decided, and you have accepted this fact as a matter of course: “I am not okay. They are okay.” From this moment all your actions were directed and controlled by the following beliefs:

“The others know better…”
“I can’t trust my judgment”
“I must have their approval”
“Tell me what to do…”
“I can’t decide for myself”

Everybody without exception goes through this childhood experience. And for most of us this inadequate self-image is fixed as the guideline for the rest of our lives. All decisions and actions are decided on from this point of view: “I am not okay, they are okay”. Needless to say it’s a negative attitude and the result is a constant felling of insecurity and inferiority. No doubt, the intention of your parents was good, but they themselves probably lacked the knowledge and understanding of these facts. They have unwillingly and unknowingly programmed you for failure. Just as a matter of curiosity I would suggest that you ask your mother and father if they ever read a book about child psychology on the subject of bringing up children. The chances are that you were brought up through up through guess-work and not scientific know how.

Now, as a grown-up person you have two alternatives:

1. Go on living for the rest of your life just the way you lived until now. But then you shouldn’t complain….. You’ll be blessed with the mediocre existence you deserve. You will never know what true happiness and peace of mind is. You’ll be classified as one of the born loser of your generation.
2. Continue with the performance that you have displayed in the 200 millions race. Go on with the miracle of being a winner, in spite of all the negative influences that you experienced during your childhood.

Now you know and understand, these facts of life, but are you willing to change? If you are, then decide: “I am okay, I am a winner” Make this conscious decision and your reward will be a new life.

At Oxford University, a survey was made of the graduating senior. The study has revealed that only 5% of the students has definite, predetermined, written down goals. About 2 decade later they did another survey of those seniors who had graduated and it was discovered that the 5% who had committed their goals to paper had accomplished more than the 95% who had not written them down. Are goal necessary? I say definitely yes! Can you imagine Li Ka Shing being interviewed and a reporter asking him: “ Mr. Li, how did you get to be the Chairman of Cheung Kong?” Do you really believe he would say: “Well….I just showed up for work….and they started promoting me….And there I am today, the chairman of Cheung Kong.” You know it’s not the things happened. Are you going to work tomorrow, because that’s what you did yesterday? If that’s the reason, you won’t be as good tomorrow as you were yesterday, because you are two days older and no closer to the goal you do not have. You must have those goals!

Stop 100 young men aged 20 on any street in Malaysia, follow them until they are 65 years old, and you’ll discover that only 2% have succeeded financially. It’s almost as if they’d set out in life to fail! Five years ago, I am still a student and I must admit that I was lucky. My father brought me to a seminar; the speaker explained to me how to set goal and share with me the knowledge of the facts of life. He mentions, “I achieved all this because I had written down my goals and followed them up with action”. Today five years later, I have review all my goal, but most of it haven’t achieve, I am still striving toward.

If you really want to make more money, you must set those goals. The rules is you go as far as you can see, and when you get there, you’ll always be able to see further. At the same time continue accumulating more knowledge in the particular field you are interesting in. Remain curious and keep asking “show me how.” It’s the only way to become more knowledgeable. Keep this up and you’ll be rewarded sooner than you think.

But let there be no misunderstanding. I’m going to tell you a fact about rewarded. Can you imagine yourself going to the bank and telling the manager: “Please pay me the interest now, and I promise to make the deposit in the near future.

Do you know the secretary who say to her boss “Give me a salary raise and I’ll start coming to work on time…”

Have you heard of a farmer saying to his land “Give me a crop this year and I promise to plant the seeds next spring….”

And the student telling his teacher “Teacher, give me a pass this year and I promise to study next year…”

Or the individual who say to his laptop “Give me some power now, and I’ll charge later…”

No, it doesn’t work that way and you know it very well, you must always put something in before you can get something out. But if you invest some effort and do your homework, I’m sure that you will be rewarded, because you have earned it. According to scientists, about 80 billion humans have existed on the face of this earth. As strange as it may sound, there has never been another you. Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person with your mind, your heart, your eyes, your voice, your hands, your hair, your mouth. None that live today and none that will live tomorrow can walk and talk, move and think exactly the way you do. You have been given eyes to see and the mind to think, but they will be wasted unless you put them to good use. We have unlimited potential, but sometime we’re running out of time.

In fact everything you are dealing with in your everyday life existed first just as an idea. The world runs on ideas. Most things before they came to exist were only a thought in someone’s mind. Can you think of good ideas? The answer is yes! You might not think of ideas that’ll change the world, but you can get good ideas to improve your financial situation and ideas that’ll change your life for the better. Consider the following:

The safety razor was invented by a salesman, Kodak chrome film by a musician, the automatic-dial telephone by an under-taker, parking meter by a journalist, the pneumatic tyre by a veterinarian doctor, the ballpoint pen by a sculptor.

As I mention in the previous article, the average person is using only 10% of his total brainpower, 90% is left unused and wasted. Let me share with you some few steps to obtain effective results and solutions:

1. Find a problem

If you do not have any worries of your own, here is a list of things other people are concerned about:

Hi everybody, I want to wish you and your family a very happy & safe Chinese New Year! This time of year can be busy for us all, but I think we need to sit back, relax, and take a few minutes to reflect on the year past, as well as the year ahead. I want to thank you so much for being a part of our online family. Thank you to those who have supported us previous month, allowing me to continue to do what I love.

Are you always fighting with procrastination? Does there seem to be an endless list of “things to do”, that you just can’t seem to get started on? If so, I know how you feel because this used to be one of my worst struggles. Even today, sometimes that pesky to do list appears to get longer n’ longer lol!

I also know that some of my closest (and quite successful) friends still manage to fall into this category - (Henk - not to mention any names :). Here’s a couple of little tricks to help you overcome that obstacle which can be a huge impediment to achieving your goals.

1) Give yourself a reward

Promise yourself something nice like a new outfit, book, or gadget if you make a specific amount of progress on your task. You can also choose less expensive rewards like treating yourself to favorite foods or taking some time off once you’ve completed the task. Read the rest of this entry »
