Your Thoughts Create Things
Your thoughts create
everything in your life, from the material world you inhabit, to the body you live
in, to the level of health you get to enjoy, to the relationships you have and
even the spiritual choices you make. Don’t you think that something, which has
the ability to shape everything in your experience, namely your thoughts,
should get some special attention? You can no longer allow them to just
randomly float through your mind, like a piece of flotsam floating aimlessly
around on the ocean. It is time to consciously order your thoughts by creating
a set of guidelines for directing them in the future.
What are these guidelines?
The guidelines I am
referring to are a crystal clear vision statement, which is written down,
easily understood and repeated regularly throughout your day. Once you
understand where you want your life to go in the future and you support this
picture with a set of detailed strategic plans, you are able to order your
thoughts, which will in turn drive you to take the daily action. Consistent,
directed thoughts, which direct you to take the right goal specific action
daily, will always result in super achievement.
Everything Starts as a Thought
Everything you see around
you today was first CONCEIVED in someone’s imagination and then with unwavering
BELIEF and a dose of daily inspired action, they turned a simple electrical
charge in their mind, into something real and tangible. You too can convert
your thoughts into something real and tangible, if you are prepared to follow
the simple principal described above, where you order your thoughts so that
they guide you to take the right goal specific action daily.
Have Huge Expectations
It takes as much energy
to create a huge set of goals as it does to create a very limited set, which
does not stretch you at all. Are your thoughts and expectations in line with
what you are truly capable of achieving or are you selling yourself short by
holding onto those small, uninspiring dreams and goals? Create “HUGE”
expectations about everything. Dare to dream really big, inspiring dreams.
The larger your expectations, the greater will be the outcomes or results you
can create in the future. You will never exceed your own expectations, so stop
limiting your potential with small nebulous dreams and dare to see great
possibility in the future.
Live life, be creative
and have huge EXPECTATIONS.
It is those very expectations that will inspire you
to extend yourself and drive you to achieve your full potential. Limited
expectations will deliver limited results, whilst HUGE expectations will
deliver the results you deserve. You truly are magnificent and armed with a
mind which is filled with ordered thoughts, which drive you to take the right
actions daily, you can achieve anything
.
Choose your Thoughts Wisely
Choose your thoughts
wisely and strive for excellence every day. Ask yourself this question
throughout your day - “Is this the most effective way to invest my time”?
Whenever you feel that you are not utilizing your time efficiently, immediately
identify a more productive way to invest your time and alter your activities
accordingly. You can become a super achiever if you use your thoughts to
inspire the right daily actions and you utilise you time effectively.
Use your Time Wisely
Until you stop expending
your energy on the small stuff, you will never have room to make the really
important things happen for you. Discover that one thing that will help you
make a meteoric stride toward your success and then apply consistent and
persistent effort daily until it is done. All super achievers know the value of
prioritisation. Focus your energy on carrying out the right priority actions
every day and success is not only possible, but inevitable.
Travel to the Future
Clarity of Thought and a
Written down Vision, allows you to travel to the future and see the reward,
which awaits you. Once you know the promise tomorrow holds, it is far easier to
pay the price of consistent effort today. This clarity of thought allows you to
start rehearsing your future by visualizing it in your NOW? The more often you
do this the more structural tension you create between your current reality and
the wonderful future you have envisioned. This structural tension will help you
to stay inspired, even when things get tough.
Keep Rehearsing your Future
No stage performance
would ever be successful or a hit without rehearsal. Actors spend hours doing
things over and over again until they perform perfectly. When you apply this
principle in your life, visualizing yourself performing the goal specific
actions you need to succeed perfectly, you dramatically increase your chances
of creating your future, exactly the way you want it.
Invest the effort to
order your thoughts, create a vision and a set of detailed strategic plans to
guide you, take inspired action daily, visualise your future success in the now
and every possibility becomes available to you. You now have the formula for
unlocking your dreams, now all that is required, is your commitment and a
healthy dose of daily discipline and you can have, do and be anything you want.

We all get Knocked Down – Achievers Don’t Stay Down
No matter how great and crystal clear your vision
for the future may be or even how sophisticated and detailed your strategic
plans may be, challenges are still going to cross your path at some point. The
reality of any journey through life, whether it is a carefully planned one or
one which is just allowed to unfold randomly, at some point, you are going to
encounter challenges, setbacks, roadblocks, you are going to make mistakes and
you are going to get knocked down.
Every One Gets Knocked Down at
some Point
The secret to super achievement is to spend as
little time as possible licking your wounds when you encounter any of the
inevitable challenges on your journey towards success, before you pull things
together and get on with life. The measure of who you really are is never in
the fact that you got knocked down; everyone gets knocked down at some point, but
rather in how long you allow things to keep you down, before you begin taking
the positive action necessary to get you back on your feet.
Choose your Attitude and Level of
Happiness Wisely
You have the ability to choose your attitude and
level of happiness every day. You can either allow things to get you down or
you can make a different, better choice, where you choose to view any
challenges as merely vehicles, which are moving you closer to hidden
opportunities. Make this crucial shift today and stop allowing any challenges
or difficulties to overwhelm you any longer. When something difficult or
challenging happens, and it will, choose to see it as something, which is
merely polishing you up, to make your life more beautiful. Challenges are very
often the very catalyst that you need to help you make different or better choices.
Success Teaches Little –
Challenges Teach Much
Commit to approach every challenge, setback,
roadblock or mistakes that you make, and see them as profound and powerful
teachers, which will propel you to greater levels of, wisdom
and knowledge. When you make this shift, it becomes possible to celebrate
your mistakes and thereby, turn them into something positive. Mistakes and
challenges are inevitable on any success journey, learning and growing as a
result of them, is optional. Choose on-going learning and growth and your
journey will not only culminate in success, but will be far more enjoyable
too.
Learn from – Never Repeat
Challenges
See challenges as opportunities to learn and grow.
Never measure your performance or self-worth against any challenges you are
facing or have faced. The measure of a person is not in the fact that they have
faced or are facing any challenge, but rather in how they choose to respond to
them. Everyone encounters challenges and makes mistakes, so the challenges and
mistakes are not at issue. The only time you should question yourself when
faced with challenges or mistakes, is when you keep repeating the same errors
and facing the same challenges over and over again.
Bring Harmony into Your
Experience
When you are centred, balanced and you operate from
connected place, where you have harmony in your life, it is far easier to
manage and mitigate any challenges you face. What you get to experience in your
outer world is an accurate reflection of how you are thinking, acting and
projecting your inner world to everyone around you. If you are constantly
experiencing frustrating situations and people are always treating you badly,
then have the courage to read the signals and accept that something is out of sync.
Action Idea: Take a close look at your life
right now. Look at how you are respecting and treating yourself. Is it aligned
with what is required for you to succeed or is your negative self-talk and
attitude affecting the level of harmony in your life? If things are out of sync, you need to make
some meaningful changes in your life, to get your attitude and self-talk in
line with where you want to go.
You Shape your Experience
Rise to the challenge and realize that you have a
unique capacity to shape your life, search around and especially within
yourself for the kind of growth, which will shape and fulfil you. This
challenge may seem impossible, but the effort will most certainly be
worthwhile. Remember even the highest mountain can be surmounted by building
winding pathways.

Do you Know your Limits?
If I asked you the maximum number of push-ups you
could do? You would probably answer a low number like 5, as push-ups are
not there on your scale of important things to do. What about if you did your
maximum of five and I said that you could rest for a while. Could you do
another five after you had rested for a short while? Of course you could. If
you kept doing five push-ups twice a day for a week, could you do 10 push-ups,
by the end of the week? Yes of course you could, but hold on a second, I
thought you said that the maximum number of push-ups you could do was five? If
you now kept doing 10 push-ups, twice a day for another week, could you now do
20 push-ups? I am sure that you are getting the picture. Five is not your maximum;
it is only your maximum for now.
There are no Limits to what we
can achieve
Start looking at everything in your life this same
way. Stop looking at your current abilities and level of skill and then using
this as the barometer to determine the size and scope of your dreams and
expectations. Allow your mind to see that your current level of skill and
ability is only a barometer of your potential right now; it is by no means a
measure of the maximum that you are capable of achieving.
Is It Common Practice?
I know this sounds like common sense, but if you
want to attract more success into your life, you cannot attract it with your
current level of skill and ability. You must first open your mind and explore
possibility, not from a position of your current abilities and capability, but
rather from a position of what you are capable of becoming, in the future. Once
you create a clear picture of what you want to see in your future, based on
what you can become. You immediately change your approach from one in which you
pursue something, which is beyond your grasp and your current ability, to
looking for ways to grow your knowledge, skill and ability to a level where you
can begin to become the kind of person you need to be to attract the type of
success you have visualised in your future.
Make this small shift and two
things will happen:
·
You will
be able to stretch yourself and see possibility, which would have seemed beyond
the realm of possibility before, when viewed from your current position. You
would now begin to see your world open up and all possibility would open up to
you. “NO-THING” is impossible any longer. All you need to do to attract any
level of success into your experience is map a path to become the type of
person who deserves the level of success you desire.
·
You will
stop pursuing success, as anything you pursue will elude you. You take the
daily action necessary to grow into the type of person you need to be to
attract the exact resources, people and circumstances you need to effortlessly
enjoy the success that you desire.
Break Free and Live your
Potential
The reason most people stay trapped in lives that
are unsatisfying and unfulfilling, is because they, keep looking at their
future possibility from their current position. It is impossible to see all you
are capable of achieving, if you do not step out of your current limited place
and view the future through a set of eyes, which is not limited by who you
currently are. See the future from a position of who you can become.
When you limit visualising possibility from a
position of what is, instead of what can be, you view your potential from a
very limited perspective. This narrow perspective will keep you trapped in your
self-imposed comfort zone, which has been constructed around your current
ability. Open your mind today and see that your current ability is by no means
your maximum ability. You are capable of achieving incredible things, if you
are willing to look at the future, through a pair of eyes that first sees what
you are capable of becoming and then using this as a barometer of possibility, to
help you see what you are capable of achieving.
Have Huge Expectations
Set you mind free and allow yourself to once again
have huge expectations and dream about all you are capable of achieving. Then
go about the business of investing time every day to grow yourself into the exact
type of person you need to be, to attract exactly that level of success into
your life. Shift your mind away from having and pursuing and start to focus
your energy and resources on becoming. This small shift will allow you to attract
what will feel like almost effortless success into your life.
