Discover What It Takes to be a Winner

For those that like to watch and listen here is the video;

Winning and losing have some things in common: they are both habits. You probably know someone that can’t win at the game of life, no matter how many advantages he’s given. You also know someone that’s the exact opposite. He wins at everything, even though he doesn’t seem to have any advantages.

Be the winner! Develop the habits that enable you to win consistently:

Set goals. You can’t win if you don’t define the game. Know what you’re trying to accomplish. Set clear goals with reasonable deadlines. Create a target that you find motivating and exciting. Choose the target, but be flexible in your approach to achieving the goal.
Create habits that support your goals. Discipline and willpower are in limited supply. Use them to create the habits you need to reach your goals. Once you have a habit, willpower becomes unnecessary.

For example, if your goal is to lose 25 lbs., develop eating and exercise habits. If your goal is to find the man of your dreams, develop a habit of talking to every attractive man you meet.

Take out the trash. Our lives are full of things that get in the way. They can be possessions, activities, or even people. Get rid of the refuse in your life. Make room for success and minimize the obstacles and distractions you face.
Get help. You can accomplish a lot on your own. You can accomplish much more with help. Odds are that someone has already accomplished your goal. Wouldn’t it make sense to get some guidance and advice since you’re taking the same journey? There’s no reason to reinvent the wheel. Take advantage of the mistakes others made before you.
Accept full responsibility. You’re ultimately responsible for your own success. Even if you have a mentor, it’s still your responsibility. Be comfortable with this. It means that you have control.
Embrace failure. Failing is just getting a result you didn’t intend. Failures are opportunities to perfect your approach. The more you fail, the more successful you’ll become.

Everyone fails. However, it’s important not to repeat your failures. Ensure you’re learning something each time.

Use your time wisely. Time is the great equalizer. Kings, CEOs, teachers, students, and ditch diggers all have 24 hours each day. Using these hours wisely is the key. Are you spending your time wisely or wasting it? The most successful people are those the make the most of their 24 hours.
Continue to gain knowledge. More knowledge results in more effective decisions. But avoid the trap of learning at the expense of actually doing something. Spend a few hours each week learning something that you can apply toward achieving your goals.
Persevere. Winners never quit. By the same token, you can’t lose if you don’t quit. Just keep on going. You’ll eventually win as long as you’re willing to persist. If you quit, you’ve lost.

Build the perseverance habit into your daily life. When you have the urge to quit an activity, keep going until that activity is completed. It might be folding the laundry, pulling weeds, or working on a report for work. Learn to stick with tasks after you feel the desire to stop. The habit will transfer to other activities.

Are you ready to be a winner? Winning is the result of having a goal, developing useful habits, and persisting until success is achieved. Winning isn’t more work than losing. The work is just different. Begin today to develop the habits you need to win consistently.

To your success

How to Live an Abundant Life

2016-07-192016-07-18 ~ adminlife

Abundant Living

A life filled with physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial abundance is truly a gift. Everyone should have security, peace of mind, love, and overall joyfulness. But how can something that should be second nature be so difficult to attain?

Perhaps our hectic lives confuse or distract us from achieving a life of abundance. But the power of our thoughts can transform our lives for the better – if we know how to use it.

Wealth is Good!

We all have to build wealth in our lives, but before we can build wealth, we have to understand that everyone’s definition of wealth is different. It doesn’t have to mean making millions of dollars and flying a private jet to one of your 10 estate homes.

Wealth can simply mean having a steady, full-time job where you earn enough money to give your family a safe place to sleep with quality food on the table and nice clothes to wear. It may also mean you are fulfilled spiritually and emotionally.

Don’t fool yourself by saying you don’t care about material things and, therefore, you don’t need to care too much about building wealth. Remember that wealth does not necessarily mean material wealth. Just because you desire wealth, it doesn’t mean you have to be attached to money like a Scrooge.

You can be emotionally wealthy because of the positive relationships you foster. You can be spiritually wealthy because of your faith. You can be physically wealthy because of your vibrant health. And you can be financially wealthy because of the money you have earned. Wealth simply isn’t a monetary figure!

Wealth is Not Just About Money

As mentioned, the term wealth doesn’t just describe how much money you have. You can also use the word to describe the people in your life and your satisfaction with your life in general.

* If you have a close relationship to your family, you are wealthy.

* If you love waking up in the morning and get satisfaction out of your job everyday, you are wealthy.

* If you have friends who love you as their own family, you are wealthy.â€¨

* If you have a fervent faith, you are wealthy.

Living an abundant life simply means being happy in all aspects of your life and having the resources to care for your family. Obviously you won’t be happy every minute of every day, but if you are usually well taken care of, then you already have an abundant life.

How to Build Wealth

You need carry a positive mindset in life if you wish to build the wealth you want and deserve. You must believe that what you want can be attained, that you have the power to attain it, and that it will be delivered to you in your lifetime. Without this mindset, you’re more likely to give up when times get tough.

Loving yourself is also of great importance. You have to love yourself first if you want to receive love from others. If you don’t have love from others, you won’t lead the life you desire.

We can’t change the world unless we start by changing ourselves. But if we change ourselves, we can change the whole world. And if we change ourselves for the better, there’s no reason why we can’t or shouldn’t live an abundant life.

To your success

How to Create Your Own Affirmations

2016-07-142016-07-12 ~ adminlife

“Changing irrational beliefs can impact multiple areas of life. It doesn’t matter how many times you repeat affirmations for success but if you don’t change your core beliefs, the changes will be temporary.” ― Hina Hashmi, Your Life A Practical Guide to Happiness Peace and Fulfilment

Affirmations – Do They Work?

Affirmations are powerful tools you can use to help you live the life you’ve always dreamed of.

What are affirmations?

Well, they’re positive statements that you say out loud on a regular basis. The goal is to re-program your subconscious mind so you can remove any negative thoughts that prevent you from living your dreams.

Affirmations work by overwriting negative thoughts, which are stored in your subconscious, with positive ones.

The Benefits of Affirmations

We all have mental recordings repeating again and again in our mind. Most of them come from childhood and have been directing our actions for years. Unfortunately, many of these old recordings are constantly feeding our mind negative information.

These negative recordings don’t always come from direct statements from people, but they tend to be general theories we’ve come to believe about our situation or ourselves.

If our parents always cautioned us about strangers, for example, we may have the mindset that sees the world as a dangerous place. If we came from a family without much money, we may have limiting beliefs about our finances that prevent us from attaining or keeping wealth.

The good news is you can override these destructive messages using the power of affirmations! Affirmations can reinforce good behaviors and change ones that need changing. To make those changes, you need to create affirmations you can identify with so they can help you improve.

Keep these key points in mind to create effective affirmations:

1. An affirmation must be in the present tense. Your subconscious doesn’t have the ability to accept a promise of future behavior. “I will eat healthy foods” doesn’t give your subconscious a timeline or deadline to perform your promise to yourself.

* Instead, state your affirmation as though it’s a behavior you already exhibit. “I always make healthy food choices” is a present tense statement your subconscious can accept as a fact.

2. For affirmations to work properly, they must be stated in the first person. In other words, don’t create an affirmation saying, “You must eat healthy foods.” In order for your affirmation to matter to your subconscious, it must be personal and use the word “I.”

* “I will choose healthy foods every time I eat” is a personal statement your subconscious can apply to your own behavior.

3. Finally, an affirmation must be stated in a positive manner. “I must stop eating junk food” sends your mind a distorted message; it interprets the same as “I eat junk food.” This type of statement will lead you in the opposite direction of your goal!

* Instead, “I choose fresh, healthy snacks when I am hungry” is a positive statement telling your mind the exact desired behavior.

How To Use Affirmations

Begin using affirmations by choosing a few short, clear statements about the things you’d like to see happen in your life.

Try some of these:

* I enjoy exercising every day.
* I love eating nutritious fresh foods in healthy portions.
* When I am free from the desire to smoke, I breathe clean, fresh air.
* I have everything I need to be content and happy today.

You can write your affirmations on note cards and keep them with you in your purse or wallet. Whenever you have a few moments to spare, take them out and read them aloud.

State the affirmations in a clear, firm voice with a smile on your face as you say them. This will help you become more aware of the positive vibrations of the affirmations, allowing them easier access to your subconscious mind.

Using affirmations on a daily basis is a terrific way to boost the positives in your life. Start using this powerful tool today to bring the changes you most desire into your world.

How to Achieve Greatness

2016-06-272016-07-02 ~ adminlife

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” ― Albert Einstein

Can You Achieve Greatness?

Everyone has a different vision of success in life. Your greatness can be defined as anything you wish; you simply need to do some self-reflection to decide what is most important to you.

Here are some questions you might ask yourself:

* How important is financial wealth to me?
* Is having a happy or large family the most important thing in my life?
* Are there certain skills or gifts that I would like to master?
* When I die, what will be the most important goal I achieved?

How To Achieve Your Goals

It doesn’t really matter what you’ve set as your true calling, maybe it’s becoming a millionaire, living on the beach, or having a large family. The most important thing is that you have found your definition of greatness that personally applies to you.

Your next step is to form an action plan on how to achieve this goal. It may take a lifetime, but the only way you’re going to get there is with a plan!

Think Less Do More

It’s easy to get lost in your thoughts and plans, but you won’t achieve greatness by daydreaming alone. You need to take some powerful action to get there! Greatness won’t just fall into your lap – you need to work hard in order to get there.

Small Steps

Your definition of greatness is probably a lofty, multi-year goal, which can be a very intimidating and daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be so bad when you plan things out day by day in small, manageable steps.

It’s vital to take life day by day and, at the same time, keep the bigger picture in mind. When you set and achieve your small daily goals, you’ll build momentum without getting too overwhelmed.

Surrounded Yourself With Good People

It’s always great to be in the company of good, positive people. When you have someone you can look up to and model, you’re bringing yourself one step closer to greatness.

It’s also a good idea to be surrounded by people who can inspire, motivate, and encourage you. My biggest advice to you is to keep the negative, complaining type out of your life. Those people won’t bring you anywhere good!

Setbacks

It’s common to run into setbacks on your way to greatness. Things are not always going to turn out like you expect, but that is part of the journey to your success! When you hit a snag in the road, you need to pick yourself up, change course, and forge on.

Of course, you’ll want to maintain a high level of enthusiasm toward your goal. If a setback has got you down in the dumps, take a short break, then trudge along again! Don’t allow anything to get in the way of your goals.

You Are Already There

Every once in awhile it’s important to take a step back and reflect at your life. Are you enjoying your life and your journey? If so, then you’re actually already living your dream.

Remember: All you’ll ever have is the present moment. If you like where you are and where you’re going, greatness is already yours!

To your success

How to Achieve an Abundance of Wealth

2016-06-242016-06-21 ~ adminlife

“Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs.” ― Zig Ziglar

Wealth Abundance

Do you truly believe that it’s possible to achieve the financial prosperity you deserve? There’s no one set way to achieve an abundance of wealth; all you must do is find your personal path. Every path to personal wealth, however, begins with the right frame of mind.

A Wealthy Mindset

A positive mindset is the most vital part of any plan for financial success. Before you can succeed in the world, you must see the success you seek in your mind’s eye and believe you can achieve it.

One way to develop this mindset is to study what other wealthy people do. If possible, set up a meeting with someone you look up to. Ask about the steps they took to get to where they are today. You’ll likely find that they’re an ordinary person who took some specific actions that led to their success. If you take those steps, you can enjoy the same success.

Plan For Success

If you have no idea where to begin, start by brainstorming ideas about practical ways to increase your income. Read books about inspiring entrepreneurs. Find business people in your community who can mentor you. Learn from those who have gone before you and found the success you seek.

If you have an idea about a business venture or additional income stream, brainstorm the next small steps you can take that will lead you in the direction of your dreams. What small step could you take today that will move you closer to your goal? How about tomorrow, and the next day?

Set clear goals and write them down. Plan out each small step and set a realistic timeframe to accomplish it. Get moving toward your goal by achieving something small each day. If you do, you’ll create unstoppable momentum that almost guarantees your success.

Be Flexible When Things Go Wrong

Things aren’t always going to go according to plan. Things will go wrong, but your response to the obstacles you face will determine your level of financial success. If you miss a deadline you’ve set or your results disappoint you, simply notice what’s working and what isn’t. Change your approach until you get what you want.

Grow Your Wealth

As your income begins to grow, alter your plans so you can experience greater financial prosperity. As you near the completion of each goal on your list, set a more exciting goal to replace it. This approach will help you to grow both financially and mentally.

Continue to challenge yourself. Celebrate each success along the way, but keep moving forward. Set goals for promotion in your career, sales in your business, and money in your bank account. Remember to set personal goals, too. Financial prosperity is worth little without a balanced life that allows you to enjoy that prosperity.

Listen to the Right People

Have you ever notice how people are quick to give advice about everything? Only listen to people who are experiencing more financial prosperity than you are. Why would you trust the advice of someone who’s broke? This is true in every area of life. Why take parenting advice from people without kids? Or job advice from someone who’s perpetually unemployed?

The people with the wisest advice are the ones who have practical experience that has led to success. If you can imitate what they’ve done, you’ll likely achieve similar results.

Most importantly, keep pursuing your financial dreams no matter what. If you set effective goals, envision your success, find wise mentors, and keep taking action, you’ll experience the financial independence you deserve.

To your success
