Without a Decision Nothing Will Happen!

                                          "Life gets better by change.....not chance".
                                                                   - Jim Rohn


                                   Your life changes the moment you make a congruent,
                                                        and committed decision."
                                                             - Anthony Robbins


We never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something we must build a new model that will make the existing model obsolete.

In other words.....stop focusing on what isn´t working or what you can´t do and start focusing on what is working and start to create some new ideas on what you want.

Do you believe that you can do what you are trying to do?
(It doesn´t matter if it´s loosing weight, getting out of debt, attracting healthier relationships or making more money).
Most people are not there. They are mostly operating on hope and wish.

We must get to belief.
We must believe that we can do or accomplish what we are trying to do.
When we believe we are ready.

Our belief system is based on valuation of something.
Sometimes we must re-evaluate something and then our belief system will change.


Tip!

Make up your mind that you are really going to do, what you are going to do.

Activate an image in your mind.

Decision will activate ideas and information right away. Ideas will start to flow into your consciousness.

Without a decision nothing will happen.

Make a decision. I am really going to do it! You don't need to know how. 

If you see yourself "on top of the mountain" you will get to the top of the mountain.

You must live the part that you want to be.

Create a picture of yourself and then live it.

Don´t allow anyone else´s opinion sidetrack you.


Stop asking other people what you should do
We are in a habit of asking other people.
When we ask other people what they think we should do - we are asking for approval.
We don´t have enough confidence inside to know what we should do.

Let´s start with what we know.
It´s our life and nobody else's
No one can decide for us and no one can do it for us.

People that are getting results in their lives - are ordinary people.
They are just doing things differently.

Why a Strong and Positive Self-Image is Important

                                                   "A strong, positive self-image
                                        is the best possible preparation for success."
                                                        - Dr. Joyce Brothers
   


Our self-image will set the boundaries for our performance in our lives.

We cannot outperform our self-image. We will never do it.

No matter if it´s weight, income, relationships or happiness.

Our self-image sets the boundaries of our performance in each and every area of our life.

The greatest conflict is what we want to be versus what we are, right now.

As you are...... is not how you must remain.

The image you hold of yourself is a foundation or idea on which your whole entire personality is built.

This image not only controls your behavior it also controls your circumstances as well.

When you alter the image in your mind. You take this idea of what you want to be and learn how to plant it in your subconscious mind. Release the idea and your life will change.

Change your picture of your self-image and your results will change "out there."

Change on the inside will effect your outside.

Most people are trying to alter their image on the outside - but they are still the same person on the inside.

Remember that you are one of a kind. God only made one of you. You are a winner. You are one of God´s ideas.

You are so valuable.

But it is how you see...YOU.....that will make a difference.



Today´s Tip!

Make a written description of what kind of person you are going to become.
You don´t need to know how it is going to happen, right now.

- What kind of person do you want to be?
- How do you want to live?
- Where do you want to be in your career?
- What kind of financial position do you want to be in?


How do you want to change?
Build an image of being healthy, wealthy and happy!

Why Complaining is Dangerous to Your Health, Happiness and Wealth

                                             "People won´t have time for you if you are
                                                    always angry and complaining."
                                                            - Stephen Hawking


You create everything that is in your life and you also create everything that isn´t in your life.
And everything in between.

According to the "Law of Attraction" we will attract things or people of the same energy level or vibration as we are.
It is law. Like attracts like.

What you focus on will also expand. It doesn´t matter if you are saying it out loud, writing it down or just thinking it. The result will be the same.


Today I am going to talk about complaining.

Are you a complainer?

Did you know that complaining is the worst thing you can do for your health, happiness and also your wealth.

Why?

What do you focus on when you are complaining?

What is right with your life.....Or what is wrong with your life?

Yes....a complainer is focusing on what is wrong with their life and since what you focus on will expand......what will you get more of in your life?

You will get more of what is wrong with your life. Like attracts like. It is law.

When you are complaining you are actually attracting more things to complain about.
More crap will show up in you life.
When you are complaining you will actually turn into a giant CRAP Magnet!!!!!!


Complainers are usually telling everyone how crappy their lives are.
"Look at me...look how crappy my life is!"

I got news for you.......Your life is crappy because you complain a lot!!!

So what is the reward of being a complainer?

Remember that we never do anything in life for no reason at all.

The reward is that you will get attention!!! and attention is very important to most people.



Today I want to give you a challenge...

For 7 days..... NO complaining!
No verbal complaints, no complaining in writing on FB or other social media and no complaining in your thoughts

Do this for at least 7 days and you will be surprised how your life will change.

If you have created a reality of always complaining you can un-create it by stopping to complain.



If people want to be around someone that is angry and constantly complaining....well maybe there is something wrong with them too.

Our Habits Control Our Lives

                                                          "To change bad habits,
                                  we must study the habits of successful role models."
                                                             - Jack Canfield


If you want to change things in your life, you must create new habits.

You are responsible for changing. No one can change you....but YOU.


If you are in debt right now and you want to become debt free.... you must apply the habits of a debt free person.

If you want to become healthy and loose some weight..... you must apply the habits of a healthy and slender person.


What do these people do differently. What daily habits do they have. Find out and then apply those habits in your own life.
Read some books. Go on-line and find articles about people that have done what you are trying to accomplish. Find a mentor.
Find out what makes these people successful and then do what they do.
Most of the time it isn´t very complicated.
It is simple to do..... but not easy.

But you must have the will to do it.

First you must want to change and then you must have the will and the discipline to actually do it.

Only you can decide that you want to change and you have to do the actual work yourself.

A lot of us want to change but we don´t want to do the work involved in making the change.

If you blame something "out there".... it will get you off the hook.
Out there is the reason that you can´t change and then you allow yourself to back down.
Get back in your comfort zone and tell yourself that it isn´t really your fault. The fault is out there.

"Out there" can be anything. It can be your parents, your ex-spouse, friends co-workers, your job or your current circumstances.
You are the victim of something "out there."

Stop wishing for something to change in your life.
Stop blaming "something out there" for your current misery.
Instead take charge of your life.
Decide on exactly what you want and then create the daily habits that will take you in that direction. One step at a time.

Little by little a little become a lot.
One new habit can change your life drastically in a couple of months or a year.
Our habits can either make us or break us.

Follow Your Dreams

                    "Never give up on a dream just because the time it will take to accomplish it.
                                                        The time will pass anyway."
                                                               - Earl Nightingale



Living your dream is earned every day.
The first step is showing up for your dream every day, no matter what. Even if it´s only for one hour.
No excuses.

Success is the sum of small efforts , repeated day in and day out.

Over time you will put in a lot of effort that will slowly start to pay off.

There is no such thing as overnight success. All successful people achieved their success by making daily choices.

Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

Promise yourself that you will never give up.

Any dream worth dreaming is worth the effort to make it come true.

Following your dreams will keep your soul alive.

What Do You Really Want?

                                         "Never give up on what you really want to do.
                 The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts."
                                                             - Albert Einstein


Are you fenced in?

How many of us are slaves to our past?

How many of us are not doing the things that we are really wanting to do because of the past?

Choosing is important.

The power to choose is the greatest power.

Yet we often fail to decide on what we actually want in life.

Getting in life is not difficult.
But deciding on what we want is tough.

We are where we are in life today because of the choices that we have made.
If we want something bigger in life, we must choose something different - Starting today.

Fear of failure is the #1 reason people don´t try to do things.

A lot of people will tell you that they didn´t get what they wanted in life because they were afraid to try.

To overcome the fear of failure we must have a goal big enough worth failing for.
Failure is great. You can´t have success without failure.

If you shoot at nothing - you will hit nothing.
Take a chance.

We must begin to see possibilities.
We must begin to see doors instead of walls.

It is not where you are, that counts. It is who you are.
You can change your life by changing the way you think.

Take some time by yourself.
Decide on what you REALLY WANT. 
Start creating the picture in your mind. Write it down. 
Take action and go after your dream!

What are you waiting for???

Tomorrow is not a day of the week. Start TODAY.

Are You Thinking in Reverse?

                                            "Thinking is the hardest work there is,
                                  which is probably the reason so few engage in it."
                                                            - Henry Ford


Are you happy with your life?

Did you know that the results that you have been getting up to now have been controlled by the way you think.

If you don´t like the results, maybe it is time to change your thoughts.

Are you thinking in reverse?
If you are..... you probably will create more of the same.

A lot of us are using way too much of our mental energy on where we are right now.
How bad it is.
Stop wasting mental energy on old outdated pictures. Take them down .

Stop fighting the old and focus on the future.

If you change your thoughts - it will change your life.

It is time to create a new picture for your life. 
Start doing some creative thinking. Figure out what is possible for you.

Keep you mind on a higher image than a lower concern.
Make a shift and start thinking of what you want instead.
Create it and then take action every day towards it.
Stop wasting time and energy on things and people that doesn´t matter.
Leave them where they are.

Tell yourself.....
I am moving forward with my life - I´m not staying here.


Don´t let us look backwards in anger.
Or forward in fear.
Let us look around us in awareness.

It´s Time to Awaken Your Dreams

                                                    "Start by doing what´s necessary;
                                                            then do what´s possible;
                                           and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
                                                              - Francis of Assisi



Your dreams can never be destroyed.

They can be battered and bruised, but they will never die.

Sometimes they will just sink into a deep sleep in the very back of your own mind.

They might lie there for years..... waiting for the day they will be realized.

It is time to remember the days when there were no impossibilities.

It is time to awaken your dreams and start living the life you always wanted to live.

Make sure that you don´t die with your dreams still inside of you.

Be bold and start walking in the direction of your dreams.

Don´t waste another day waiting.

Start today!

You Will Never Feel LIke It.....Just Do It!!!

                                                  If we wait until we are ready,
                                       we´ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.


It is simple to improve on our lives and to get what we want, but it isn´t easy.

If it was easy, everybody would be living their dream life.

So why don´t we?

Because we are so busy waiting to feel like doing it.

I have news for you.....You Will Never Feel Like It!!!!!

A lot of times we are waiting for something or someone to come along to inspire and motivate us.

What about if they don´t show up! What are you going to do then???

It requires discipline and motivation to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Both discipline and motivation are inner muscles.
You are responsible for growing and developing these inner muscles.
No one can do it for you.

In other words you must do the work.

Most of us don´t ever feel like doing the things we really need to do. If you are waiting for the day you feel like doing something, you will be waiting a long time.

You just have to make yourself do the things that you really don´t want to do.


No one ever feels like going on a diet and eat carrot sticks and celery instead of doughnuts.

No on wants to spend an hour every night at the gym, while they could just hang out in front of the TV instead.

No one wants to get up an hour early to read and learn a new skills.

No one wants to read a book when they can hang out on Social Media.


You have to force yourself to do the things that you really don´t want to do so that you can be all that you are suppose to be.

You cannot wait around to do it until you feel like it.

You will never feel like it.

Just Do It!!!

Are You Acting On Your New Ideas?

                                                  "Ideas have a short shelf time.
                                      You must act on them before they expire."
                                                        - John C. Maxwell


You have life changing ideas.
All day long you have ideas that can change your life, change your career, your relationships and they can change the world.
The new ideas can change the way you feel.

What do you do with theses ideas?
Probably NOTHING!

If and when an idea enters your mind - and it happens all the time.
Then the idea is likely good for you.

But we often feel that we can´t act on an idea, if it is far beyond our picture in our own mind of what we can do with the idea.
We usually look for a reason why we can´t do it.

Ignore it.
Your old conditioning is just messing with you and it is trying to reject the new idea.
Instead you must...... Go for it.
You might just get one shot at that new idea. Take it!

Next time an idea enters your mind......ask yourself.....
Is this new idea going to take me from where I am today and move me in the direction of the star that I am shooting at?
In other words......... Will this new idea make me reach my goals?

Try to never dismiss a new ideas. The new idea can be a life changer for you.
Instead take a few minutes to think about it. Stop and do some creative thinking.
Try to figure out if this new idea will improve your life.
A lot of times we are only one great idea away from success in our lives.

Just remember....... when a great new idea enters your mind, write it down immediately.
Don´t trust your brain to remember it.
Always write it down.

Then of course you must act on the idea.
Without action it will remain .....Just another great idea, that you didn´t act on.

Take Action!

Celebrate Your Uniqueness!

                                 "You have a uniqueness that no one in the world has.
                                                               Celebrate it."
                                                            - Kelly Rudolph


Did you know that there is only one of you in this world?

Also there will never be another person exactly like you, ever. You are unique.

A lot of times we would like to be like other people. Look like them. Act like them. Live like them.

Instead of wanting to copy someone else and their life. Embrace what makes you unique.

Realize that you have talents, skills, experiences, knowledge that no on will ever have.

There will never be another you.

There is no one that can do exactly what you can do.

You have your own superpower with your own unique ability to contribute.

Make sure you use it. The world needs what you have got.

Don´t hold back. Celebrate your uniqueness.

The world needs your SUPERPOWER!!!

Are You Destroying Your Own Willpower?

                                                     Willpower is a muscle.
                                                       The more you use it,
                                                        the stronger it gets

               "Willpower isn´t something that gets handed out to some and not to others.
                       It is a skill you can develop through understanding and practice."
                                                          - Gillian Riley


Do you like to start things to try to improve your life?

Like meditation, exercising, healthier eating habits or maybe reading an inspirational or educational book per month.

Do you feel enthusiastic in the beginning but once the novelty is wearing off you are not feeling excited about it anymore?

Do you often use the approach that "I will do something when it is feeling good but you will quit when it is not going so well."

If this sounds like your approach, let me tell you something.......
You are destroying your own willpower.

Whatever you are trying to do, decide in advance how long you will do it.

Ex. If you have decided to start meditating for 10 minutes.
Set a timer for 10 minutes. Have a goal.
Decide in advance that it doesn´t matter if your meditation is good or bad....you are going to finish it.

You have decided to work out for 30 minutes three times per week.
Decide in advance that you will complete all three workouts....no matter how you feel....good or bad. Set a goal.

Whatever you do to improve your life....set a timer.
Or even better...get a journal and start tracking your progress.

Set a goal. Finish it. This will increase your willpower.

Did The Fear Bug Bite You?

                       Your mind can focus on fear, worry, problems, negativity and despair.
                  Or it can focus on confidence, opportunity, solutions, optimism and success.
                                                                   You Decide

                             Don´t let anyone´s ignorance, hate, drama or negativity
                                     stop you from being the best person you can be


Fear is toxic and it is poison.
If you allow it to bite you, it can spread fast through your body and especially through your mind.

If you are an empathic and self-aware person you will become more and more sensitive to other people and their state of being.

You must always guard your own mind and be aware of when you have taken on the thoughts and emotions of other people.

You might be having a great day and your life is moving on fine and then after spending time with someone you know and like you start to feel awful.
Maybe at this particular moment this person was in a fearful and negative state, and after you had spent some time with this person, you started to feel negative and fearful........ for no reason.

What just happened was that you allowed the fear bug to bite you and now the poison is spreading fast in your own mind and body.
You have just allowed this person´s fear to become your own fear. They just dumped their trash and fear all over you.
Doesn´t feel fair does it?

Of course it isn´t! but unfortunately this happens all the time. So we must be careful who we associate with. Who we allow ourselves to listen to, who we spend time with and who we take advice from.

Maybe this particular person is a family member or a close friend and you can´t just stop spending time with them.
But what you can do is that you can limit the time you associate with this person and maybe limit yourself to connecting with this person via phone or text and limit your face-to-face time together.

A couple of years ago I got really tired of being dumped on by this particular friend of mine.
Every time we got together she was always in a negative state and complained about everything and everybody. She was so filled with negativity and she had allowed fear to take over her life.
Finally I had it. I decided that I could no longer spend time with her by myself. Instead I limit our time together, and I just communicated via phone and text.
But I also realized that this person was a very nice person, underneath all that fear and negativity.
I didn´t want to completely stop spending time with her, because she did have a lot of wonderful qualities underneath all that fear.
So instead of spending time with her in person, by myself. I decided to bring along a good friend every time we got together.
It worked. She kept the conversation upbeat and without negativity.
So now when we get together face-to-face, I always make sure I bring another friend with me.
It works every time.

As we all know..... we can´t change anyone.
People have the right to be negative and toxic if they want to be.
But we can control the amount of time we spend with someone.

We can also start sending loving thoughts their way.
Because underneath all that fear and negativity is a yearning for love.

When we understand that the fear and all the negativity is just a cry for love, we can now start sending love instead of answer back with more fear.

Can You Entertain New Ideas?

                                  "The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas
                                                       as escaping from old ones"


Can you entertain new ideas?

In order to be able to improve and grow in our lives we must have an open mind.

An open mind will throw away an old belief,  when a better idea comes along.

The vast majority of people seem to drag their past with them as they enter their future. They are dragging the old experiences with them.

When they are confronted with new ideas, they try to figure out if this new idea will fit in their life.
If it doesn´t, they will say that the idea is wrong.

Now what we want to do is to ask ourselves.
Will this new idea improve the quality of my life or will it get me going in the wrong direction?

Do I have an open mind?
Do I want to grow as a person?
Will this new idea improve my life?
Can I entertain a new idea?

Always Be Yourself and Keep it Real

Never change for anyone, after you do, all they´ll want you to do is change again.
And as hard as it was to change the first time, to give up everything you knew, and be half empty afterwards isn´t worth it.
Don´t change so people will like you.
Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.
- Unknown

A lot of times we might feel that it is more important to be liked than to be real.

But how can we love and enjoy our lives if we are not honest and authentic?

How can we create something extraordinary if we are not speaking and living our truth?

We can´t.

If you continue to live a life without being honest and authentic, resentment will build and your head and your heart will be out of balance.

Stop trying to please other people. A lot of times it is an attempt to seek validation to increase your own self-worth.
Don´t be afraid to speak the truth even if you think it might cause some people not to agree with you or even disapprove of you.

Validation is fear based. Unfortunately we live in a society that are constantly telling us that we are not enough.
TV, the internet, magazines or social media are constantly letting us know that we would feel a lot better if we bought a certain product or did a certain thing.......Only then we will be validated and feel good about ourselves.
This will keep us in a constant battle and the result is a never ever feeling of not ever being good enough.

A Couple of Tips!

The less you look for other peoples validation or approval - the more they will give it to you.
Learn to validate and approve of yourself. Then you won´t need any help from the world out here, it will come from within yourself.
And if it comes from within it can never be taken away from you.

Also remember that most people will respect "The Real You".
You don´t have to be perfect in order for people to like you.
Be human.....it is OK. If you are going through a hard time, let people know.
It´s liberating to not have to pretend that everything is just fantastic in your life...all the time.

So be authentic. Express your feelings, thoughts, beliefs and your fears.
Share your experiences with people.

If in doubt...always be yourself and keep it real.

To Be Successful You Must Have 2 Kinds of Courage

                                              "Believe in yourself and all that you are.
                   Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
                                                          - Christian D. Larson 

One of the biggest obstacles to success is the fear of failure

We also know that the best weapon to deal with fear of failure is the quality of courage.

Now there are two types of courage that you must have in order to be able to succeed.

The courage to begin.
It doesn´t matter what it is that you are trying to accomplish in life, you must always begin.
And you must begin without any guarantees that you will succeed.
There will be a lot of obstacles on your journey to success and if all the obstacles had to be removed before you begin, nothing will ever get done.

Fist you must think, decide, plan and then take action without any guarantees.
Sometimes you have to leap without a net. You will lean as you go.
There is no such thing as a perfect plan. Obstacles that you never even considered before you started will show up on your journey to success. You can´t plan for everything.
You must be willing to learn as you go.

                                      "Strength shows not only in the ability to persist,
                                                     but in the ability to start over"

The courage to persist.
No matter what happens you must have the quality of persistence. You must keep on going...no matter what.
Decide in advance that you will never give up, no matter what happens.
Of course you will get knocked down many times on your journey to success - but you will never give up.

When you decide in advance to never give up, you will find yourself continuously bouncing back.

Courage to Begin
Courage to Persist

Progress is Impossible Without Change

                                          "Change is inevitable. Progress is optional"
                                                            - Tony Robbins

                          "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it,
                                                                move with it,
                                                           and join the dance"
                                                             - Alan W. Watts


When it comes to creating change, a lot of people freak out or they hesitate.
In order to get from where you are today to where you want to be in the future, you need to change something, right?

Learn to embrace change.
Change is natural and you have already experienced it so many times.

Everything has to change in order to grow. That includes all of us.
It nature everything changes all the time. For every new season there are a lot of changes.
The changes of the seasons in nature, seem natural to us.
Yet the nature of human beings is to resist change.
A lot of fear seems to be involved when it comes to change.

Let´s deal with change today. Try to remove the fear of "I don´t know what is going to happen next" and learn to embrace change.

When you are trying to change something..... like learn a new habit or take a new action....... you will meet resistance.
When you meet resistance you will want to do what you are comfortable doing. If you do what you are comfortable doing you will not take action , create new habits and you will not change.

You need to get past your comfort zone and your fear barrier and venture out and move to the next level in life.

It is perfectly normal to feel fear and resistance  but make sure you create the discipline to move forward.

How to Create New & Healthier Habits With the Least Amount of Effort

                                      "The secret of change is to focus all your energy,
                                                         not on fighting the old,
                                                       but on building the new"
                                                                 - Socrates


One of the ways to create healthier habits is to remove the unhealthy habits.
Unfortunately that will activate a scarcity mindset and make us feel like something is being taken away from us.
Part of us will cling to the old habits and resist the new healthier habits.

A much better way is to replace a few unhealthy habits with some new healthier ones that we can commit to doing and that we can enjoy doing on a regular base.

Ex.
Maybe you haven´t exercised in a long time and you decide to start going to the gym for one hour, 5 days per week instead of watching several hours of TV every night.
It might be difficult to commit to going to the gym right away for 5 days per week.
Instead try going for a short walk, maybe 3 times per week and after a while you will be able to add more time or more days per week.

And maybe after doing this for a couple of months you might be able to sign up for the gym and make it your new healthy habit instead of watching TV.

Instead of removing unhealthy food from your diet, try instead to add a few new healthy choices like, a salad a few times per week. Or maybe drinking more water every day. Maybe adding some fruits for a snack instead of a candy bar or a coke.

Your body will like your new healthier habits and you will find that over time that your body will crave your new and healthier habits.

Same things with walking instead of watching TV. Eventually you will discover that your body is craving the walks or the gym-time, instead of spending hour after hour by the TV.

If there is an undesirable habit that you want to stop, then introduce a new healthier habits into your life that will crowd out the old bad ones. It will create the snowball effect. It will keep you moving closer to your desired goal and life, with less effort.

Also remember that you have to start with small daily disciplines or habits before you can tackle the big ones.

Start with something small and work it until it becomes effortless and part of your routine. (The snowball effect). Then you can tackle more and bigger habits and disciplines.

Start small and you will quickly get stronger and more able to handle the bigger ones.

Just remember that all changes of our habits will require effort on our part, especially if you have had this habits for a very long time.

Do You Know What Gives You Energy?

                         "A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles
                                                 than any other wonder drug"


Some people know exactly what energizes them and also what depletes them.

Unfortunately a lot of people that I ask in my own coaching business have no idea what they like and what gives them energy.

When I ask what they do for fun......the answer I often get is......watching TV or surfing social media and the internet.


Tip!
Start paying attention to what actually energizes you and what depletes you.

It might be big clues to getting back on track in life and maybe even fulfilling your souls purpose.
What you came to this earth to do.

What Kind of Magnet Are You?

                                                 Each of us acts like a magnet.......
                 We attract conditions that are in accord with our thoughts and energy.


Are you happy with who you are attracting to yourself?

We are all like magnets. We attract to ourselves reflections of who we are.

If you are attracting closed-minded, unhappy, angry, emotionally available, pessimistic or judgmental people into your life.... you might want to look in the mirror first before you continue to complain about the people in your life.

What kind of magnet are you?

Some people believe that "if I can only attract a happy person or a happy mate into my life....I will be happy"

Those people have it backwards. First you have to become happy before you will attract happy people and happy experiences into your life.

Happiness is a skill (or an inner muscle). It isn´t automatic. You have to work on it. The good thing is that you can become more skillful at "happiness" starting right now.
You just have to decide that you want to change your habits and become more happy.
It is up to you to do the work.

Remember that you cannot give away what you don´t have.
EX.....If I wanted to give away a dozen apples, I first have to have a dozen apples to give away.


Same thing with happiness or love or whatever it is that you want to attract into your life.
First you have to become it, in order to be able to attract it.

So you might want to examine first what kind of magnet that you are?

We don´t attract from what we want.....we attract from who we are.

If you don´t like the people around you, first take a good look at yourself and ask yourself...
Did I attract this into my life?

The good thing is that you can start changing it today.......by FIRST CHANGING YOURSELF.

If you don´t change you will continue to attract the same kind of people into your life.

It starts with you and it starts on the inside.....not the outside.

Tip!
I encourage you to focus on becoming the kind of person that you want to attract into your life.

                             This is the quickest and surest way of all victory over fear"
                                                           - Dale Carnegle


Fear comes in many forms and it is a bully that will keep you from finding and accomplishing your dreams.

Be ware of the thief on the street that will steel your wallet and your money

Recognize that fear is normal and that everybody will feel fear at some point in their life.


Common fears that will hold people back are

Fear of the unknown
Fear of not being good enough
Fear of not being loved
Fear of loss of security

Fear will always be part of life but with practice you can learn to handle fear.


                                    "Do one thing every day that scares you"
                                                     - Eleanor Roosevelt


Tip!
Learn to build your courage muscle. If you haven´t used it for a while it probably has gotten weak.
Yes........courage is like a physical muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.
