Knowing Who You Are

Knowing who you are is a very important task. When you know who you are and clearly understand what you want, you can better discover how to live a  successful life. In knowing yourself you can live a life of purpose and happiness.

Knowing your inner self (what makes you tick) will enable you to reach your goals more effectively. Knowing who you are will lead to an inner calmness that will improve your attitude and your relationships and connections with others.

Psychologists receive very good salaries helping individuals see and understand who they are. It is natural most people hide their inner feelings. There are situations in our lives that we do not wish to cope with. 
Knowing who you are empowers and enables you to create different choices for your life. Develop a positive attitude and believe in yourself. Develop confidence in yourself and believe that you can achieve all that your potential and skills will allow.

Getting to know yourself is a voyage that will allow you to transform your life for the better. The success of this journey depends deeply upon if you are willing to face yourself. Know that no one is perfect and accept the fact that yes, you do have some problem areas. I am very impatient at times with other people not understanding what seems to me, to be simple. On this journey to enlightenment you might discover certain things that you may not like about yourself. You may possibly want to hide or deny them even from yourself. Be strong and accept those negative things because it is only by accepting your faults you can truly change for the better.

Be able to accept and listen to the opinion of others who speak with wisdom and understanding. Some call it constructive criticism I call it  wise counsel. Be willing to learn. Remember, "it is a wise man that accepts wise counsel," from Proverbs in the Bible. Changing your judgment and views by using more reliable facts is not a sign of weakness but of strength in your character. Be wise not stubborn!

Discover and improve the true person inside of you and not what others perceive you to be. It is not about who you believe you must be, but the person that you truly are. Discover your strengths and weaknesses and become a complete person.

Educate to eradicate the ignorance of a negative mindset. Read both books and people. They both can help you change your life to one of mental calm with direction and lead to a fulfilled and successful life.

What's Good....is getting to know who you are.

 What's Bad....is never taking the time "To thine own self be true".

To your success,

Success Starts In The Mind

Success has many meanings depending on what you are seeking for in your life, relationships and career. To athletes, success can mean obtaining that gold medal.  To parents success can mean raising children with good moral values.  To a doctor success can mean saving a life and to some it can mean a job promotion or acquiring wealth. Your success depends on your perspective of what brings value to your life. You can not walk through life basing your success by the standards of someone else. Living to satisfy someone else will leave your life unfulfilled and empty.

The dictionary defines success as prosperous progress, achievement, or termination. You should make a decision on what you truly want. Focus in your mind on what will offer a desirable or favorable outcome in each aspect of your life. Set goals that can be achieved. Measure your success by how close you come to accomplishing your goals. Set reasonable goals based upon your skills and abilities.

Your mind is an incredible and powerful tool. Strive to improve and utilize your mind to complete capacity to accomplish success. Improve your mind by education. Become a reader and learn from the wisdom of the endeavors of the successful. 

Understand the power of your subconscious mind and how to be encouraged by your mind. There are no coincidences in life. You have the power to control your life, to control your success and your failures. You have the power to change your life in any area you are not content with. Setting goals and focusing will often lead to attainment of your desires.

Expectation, belief and desire are three powerful forces that can help you achieve success. Before anything you wish to happen, you must desire for it to happen. Believe in your mind it will happen and then expect it will happen. First turn your dreams into success in your mind.

Generate positive results in your life by first generating positive thoughts in your mind. There is a reason successful people never spend time with negative people. Negative people generate and exude negative. They give negative information and discouragement to you. This is why they are not successful. Do not waste your time.

Starting in your mind when you accomplish each goal, stop for a while and relish that certain satisfaction and pleasure of achieving that goal. Great or small, it is a beginning that will lead to a better life, a successful life. Celebrate!

What's Good...beginning to believe in your success in your mind.
   What's Bad....NOT changing your mindset to accomplish success.

To your success,
 James

Having an Open Mind

What's Good...an open mind allows one to magnetize opportunities and insists and continues to follow opportunities. Even if an opportunity is small an open mind is open to follow it. Dreams may start small but with focus and planning and fortitude those dreams that start in an open mind can reach maturity. 

In network marketing it is called having passion. True passion starts in an open mind. Can you imagine running your own business? It starts with the passion to want to get out of the 9 to 5 box. It turns into a passion that demands you to seek those who can help you reach your dreams.

Your passion opens your mind to explore the wisdom of those who have succeeded in the business of your choice. What did they do? How did they become leaders? Most importantly how can I become the leader. What is so truly great about network marketing is you do not have to lead .....only duplicate what is successful and pass it on. It all starts with an open mind. Change your mindset and you will become free to achieve the life of financial freedom you desire and deserve.

Focus on what is possible, rather than the limits that you may see just before you. See yourself beyond today and start reaching for those daily goals that lead to your brighter tomorrows. Program your mind to be open to thoughts of success:

1. Become the person who seeks success by modeling successful people.
2. Become a reader. Read self-improvement and empowering books. Read autobiographies of successful people who overcame hardships and misfortunes yet they accomplished their goals.
3. Affirm yourself and focus with a clear image of the outcome. Believe that you can achieve and that it is already done.
4. Keep your mind filled with positive thoughts and keep negative people out....you are as your friends are.

The mind can create what the mind sees, believes, feels, and thinks. Your reality begins in an open mind. What are you creating as your reality? You can achieve success when you open up your mind to believe and put into action the power of attraction. Attract positive and repel negative, both people and situations.

Open your mind to success, and there will be no What's Bad,

James

My mentor Jim Rohn emphasized that one of the first things everyone should work on is their physical health. He said, “How terrible would it be if the mind said, ‘let’s go conquer the world’ and the body said, ‘I can’t even get out of bed’?” It takes your healthy body to carry around your head full of ideas and your heart’s desires.
There is nothing more pitiful than a ready and willing mind but an incapable body.
There is a well-known quote from the philosopher Virgil that says, “The greatest wealth is health.” I also believe that health is the beginning of wealth. In other words, your health will help you create wealth.

Times of great danger. The great efficiencies of technology have made us more inactive and sedentary than ever before. Food has become more abundant, more easily accessible, super-sized, bulk packaged and mass merchandised. Commercial marketing has proliferated into every space of attention with ingeniously creative and utterly tantalizing commercial marketing. It has never been more difficult to become and remain healthy.

If you are in the business of attracting, influencing, selling or leading others, how you show up, your physical appearance, speaks volumes about who you are, how you are and what you are or not capable of.
I know, people shouldn’t judge you, right? Well, here is a clue… they do!
Whether you like it or not, people make judgments and draw conclusions about you in the first 10-15 seconds they meet you, based solely on how you look. Like it or not, how you show up on the outside says a lot about you on the inside. Our body advertises our personal development. All the habits, behaviors, choices, disciplines (or lack there of) are made physical (literally) in your physique.

Success Is....

Are You A Success.......?

Success is one who lives life to the fullest, laughs often and loves deeply; who has gained the respect of his fellow man, gives respect to all women and is looked up to by little children; who has filled his life with love for others and has shared this love; who seeks to leave the world better than he found it, whether by a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of the earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and gives the best he has; whose life is an inspiration; who smiles in understanding of lost dreams; whose legacy is of truth that one is only human and one falls so short of GOD's glory; who only wants the best for all and seeks peace with all mankind; can look to the sky and see the hand of GOD; who looks at a child and sees hope; who has learned from and values those who are older; who remembers yesterday, but lives in the present and looks to the future; whose life is a benediction .....a memory that makes one smile.

Live to be a Success,

Seek What's Good.....and let go of What's Bad,

Do You Want To Be Great or Average?

It is entirely up to you whether you want to be great, or average. Maybe you would be happy with just a little bit above average? More than likely you are reading this article because you want to be great!
First thing you need to do is challenge your belief system. What do you believe? Does it restrict your potential? Are you caught up in a box? Once you have defined your belief system it will be simpler to see which belief could be hindering you from achieving your goals. From here you need to try and decide what can aid you in changing your mindset. Make sure your goals are written down. A goal is simply the shortest route from where you are to where you want to be. It should not be more complicated than this! It should be a journey that you enjoy, seeing results along the journey. Make sure you do enjoy it! This is your life, these are your goals!
 You will get the same old results if you continue to walk the same old path. Change your mindset and change your life. Network Marketing is an answer for today's economy!

Finding Happiness

Are you doing what you were meant to do?  Do you feel all that you were meant to feel?  It seems no one is doing or feeling what they were truly put here to experience. There is too much pain instead of happiness in this world. We are all looking for love in all of the wrong places. Finding true happiness and a sense of love with life should come naturally. There  are times that you may feel a sense of oneness with happiness and love filling your very soul BUT it just does not last long enough. Why?  Finding happiness and love is the answer. Now we have to ask the right questions.

What is it that makes you laugh? 

Laughter goes with happiness and what makes you laugh brings joy to your very soul. I have often talked about laughing until you cry. Tears of joy empty out the frustrations and weights of the world that sit on the hearts of  each of us. Set your heart free and find peace by letting go with laughter coming from the depths of your very soul.

What do you find comes naturally?

What do you really like to do? What brings you self-gratification? Find what goes from being work to being fun to do and do it. What others find as being boring or even silly can prove to be your life's vocation. Be who you are and find that natural spark that makes your life worth living. 

What sparks up your life?

Make your life important to you by seeking what motivates you. What brings out the creative juices in your mind? What do you enjoy just thinking about and planning? Next get active and pursue your dreams. Focus on what fulfills your life.

What do you think about when you are alone?

When you are without outside influences what do you find comforting? What do you feel will bring joy from accomplishing?  Completely by yourself, what will you go all the way with to reach your goals? Do you lie awake at night thinking about a plan of action and then get up and get started on it? That's called having passion.

What do you love talking about?

With your best friend what do you enjoy sharing? What do you have passion about sharing from your life? Do you enjoy making others laugh? Laughter is best enjoyed when shared with someone else.

Do you spend your time trying to please others?

Stress comes from not learning how to let go of this world and the influence of others.  Just be yourself. Pleasing others is selfish on their part. Do not be a part of it! Seek what pleases you first and then share it with those that can appreciate it. 

Are you happy?

True happiness must be found in yourself. Yes learn to be happy all by yourself.  If you are dependent upon someone else to make you happy you will be let down. Happiness starts on the inside and then bubbles out. Let no one take your sunshine away because there is a rainbow at the end of the storm.

Live long and be happy in yourself and every walk of your life.   

sincerely,James
