Act to your maximum potential
Fear of winning big time or fear of failing is the reason people avoid risk-taking. Understandably so, risk would not be labeled as risk without the possibility of failure. But there is also the possibility of success.
My teacher and mentor Bob Proctor often says that the greater the failure, the greater the success that follows. This indicates that failure and success come hand in hand.
You cannot manage time, you can only manage activities
We all have the same time: 24 hours over a day, 60 minutes over an hour, and 60 seconds over a minute but how come some people are able to achieve so much more within a certain period of time while others don’t? What are those practical steps which can shift the results accomplished in a fast and permanent way?
It is a scientifically proven fact that our subconscious programming and our paradigms not only affect the results we get but also how we manage things, situations and our time. In fact this is what controls our reality.
Positive Thinking
What really is positive thinking? Many people claim to be positive thinkers; still their experiences in everyday life come in a challenging way. Some other people may say “it is easier said than done”, which may be a grand reality for them; still it can be practiced and achieved.
Positive thinking comes automatically when a person gets a higher understanding of the universal law. A greater understanding of the creative forces and the coordination of thought, energy and matter.
“If the dream is big enough, facts don’t count” Unknown
And this is how it is… facts never count!
Do you have a big dream? Do you have a project, which is close to your heart? Do you see yourself succeeding and thriving in that specific industry?
As the saying goes”If your dream is big enough, facts don’t count”. I know that some of you may now start thinking,” ohhh yes … there is economic crisis, with most people barely surviving, resources are being spread too thin, individuals are fearing the loss of their jobs” and many more …
Gratitude
When it comes to the term “Gratitude” the majority of people begin to share their daily ritual of writing 7 or 10 things they are grateful for. This is an amazing and powerful exercise which is highly recommitted on a daily basis. However, is this what gratitude means in reality?
Even though Gratitude writing is highly recommended on a daily basis, the deep and honest feeling of gratitude can elevate the vibration from merely another word to a pure feeling, that is to high vibrational and radiant love.
Secrets of Success
Furthermore to my previous article "What it takes to be a Success!",here are a few more ingredients that influence our end results.
Learn and move forward
Everyone had failed one way or another in the past. To succeede, you need to learn from your past and value those difficult lessons learned, but do not dwell on those. Simply move forward and make better, more educated decisions from the lessons learned.
Leading Towards a Successful New Year
Did you set your goals for 2015?
This is about the time that most people set the renowned “New Year Resolutions", which very few reach the much wanted success. It is estimated that more than 93% of people fail to meet their goals, just a month after they set them!
Let’s focus on the results we REALLY want to achieve during 2015 and set the right goals, the proper way. What do you really want?
Evaluate 2014 - What did I achieve?
Where was I at the beginning of the year and where am I right now?
It is essential to evaluate and document what we have achieved through a period of time. This is essential for 3 main reasons; first to congratulate ourselves for the progress towards achieving our bigger goals and dreams, second to review what is learned and was improved and third to redirect – reschedule direction.
A year may have brought many shifts, although some may have never been set as goals-to-be-achieved at the beginning of it; still they brought us closer to the achievement of a big goal, brought new opportunities, growth and got us closer to our wanted results.
Collaboration
Τhe number one key to great success
In memory of my grandfather, Andreas
One of my very first and greatest mentors in life was my grandfather Andreas. Although he did not receive much education (only 2 years of junior school), he was a great observer of nature and he always had a great nature observatory story to share with us.
One of the many stories he shared was on how mice collaborate to steal chicken eggs from the coop. He always used to start this story with the same question: “Maria, do you know how mice steal eggs from the chicken coop?” And of course I was always encouraging him to tell me the story again and again.
Challenges are a blessing & God’s gift to us
No matter how much joy and happiness life brings, all of us have been asked ~ and for sure we'll be asked again and again ~ to face challenges one way or another; minor or major, life-threatening or not-worth-mentioning…
We are facing challenges in our personal and professional life.
But what makes a challenge, a blessing and a God’s gift?
We have all faced challenges when we were young that we thought were huge back then and yet today seem so tiny. Those challenges make us grow up, built up our character, attitude and spirit and because of those experiences we become who we are today … So let’s see our today's challenges through a new scope; the scope of the opportunity to grow!
