Improve to Success

©2008 Josh Hinds

Today and every day, I am making a commitment to improve in some area of my life—either personally or professionally. Each day offers up the chance to grow, provided I am willing to dig in and put forth the effort to do so. The skills I develop now will pay great dividends as I move forward in the pursuit of my endeavors—whatever undertakings I may choose.

Greatness is a part of who I am—this I believe with all my heart. Through a combination of belief, followed by a commitment to action, I am heading on the right path which will lead to my attaining my own personal definition of success. Of this I am certain!

Identity

David Leonhardt

Apples are red. No, wait...they are green. Hmmm, come to think of it, they are yellow. Naw...just kidding. They are really white. The red and green and yellow are just camouflage on the outside to hide their true colors.

So what color are you?

I let the Universe help me reach my goals.

Lynn A. Robinson

One of the biggest challenges facing many people is that they talk themselves out of their hopes and dreams before they even begin. They do this because they can't figure out how to get to where they want to go. I'd like to propose a radical alternative. Don't try to figure out how to reach your goal; let the Universe help you.

Here's my theory: when you hold a strong desire or goal, you send out a vibrational energy that the Universe wants to match. In other words, it wants to help you meet your goal. Your job is to be clear about what you want, to keep your focus off what you don't want, and to take small steps each day based on what you feel excited about. That excitement is your intuition communicating with you. Visualize, affirm, feel, and imagine your successful outcome.

Universe knows how to make your dream happen. Think of it as a kind of Divine Intelligence that has the necessary skills to bring together the exact set of circumstances you need to make your goals a reality. All the logic and intelligence you can muster may not be able to pave the way to this ultimate goal of yours as easily as the Universe can. Let Divine Intelligence do its job and orchestrate all the synchronicities, coincidences, and circumstances that need to occur for you to create a life you love.

I extend a helping hand by sharing love and inspiration.

Marie T. Russell

You cannot get someone out of the ditch by sharing their plight and getting into the ditch yourself —then you'll both be in the ditch and will need someone else to "rescue" you. You can only help by lifting them out from above.

So also with emotional ditches. Getting into the rut yourself with "sympathy" will certainly not make the other person feel better. They may just end up feeling much worse when you agree with them that they are indeed in a terrible situation, thus adding fuel to the fire...Sharing thoughts along the "poor you" line, and commiserating with the person on how bad things are will not in any way uplift or inspire. You have to stay on the outside of the "ditch" so you can lend a helping hand by extending love and inspiration.

I am not referring to feeling empathy, which is quite different...When we empathize, we "understand the other's pain," but we don't get into the rut with them. Empathizing allows us to get in touch with the emotions of the moment, feel what they are feeling, become aware of their experience, and then respond from a "higher" place in our consciousness.
