As the song says, "If I don't have a dream, if you don't have a dream, then how are we going to make a dream come true?" So read on. The following articles will give us some guidelines to success.

The Key To Life Success
By Patrick O'Dacre
"If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." - Vincent Van Gogh
What if I told you there was one simple
thing you could do to completely change your life? Something
that would only take a short time and would have such a profound
effect on you, that you would never be the same again? You would
see things differently, you would feel things differently;
everything would change.
What would you be willing to do? What would you be willing to
try to make your life better? To make yourself better? This one
thing could change everything in your life. You would be
healthier; you would be smarter; you would be happier; more
fulfilled; more excited with your life, and it's such a simple
thing.
What is it?
I'll tell you.
It's as simple as Raising Your Standards. Raise your standards!
By raising your standards all those "shoulds" in life, become
"musts." When you feel like you should do something, you rarely
follow through. Or if you do, you definitely don't enjoy it.
It's when those things become "musts" that you do it. You
achieve something. You accomplish something worthwhile.
How many of us settle in life? We settle for a boring job; we
settling for unfulfilling relationships; we settle for slow and
sluggish bodies. Imagine what our lives would be like if we just
stop settling for less than we want.
So all of this sounds good, but how do we really apply it to our
lives? Well a good start would be to write down all your
"musts." Think of all the things that you have settled for and
write down everything that you will no longer accept. You will
not accept your unhealthy body; you will not accept your
unfulfilling job; no more poverty; no more fear; no more
depression; no more helplessness.
Imagine if just everyday you made it a must to improve yourself
just 1%. That's easy! Just 1% each day. What would that mean
after a year? No, that wouldn't mean you'd be 365% betterˇ¦ it
would be much more than that. That 1% isn't the same each day.
It compounds over time and before you know it, you've got such
momentum that there would be no stopping you. And it all starts
with just 1% a day.
Lao Tzu said, "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a
single step." Take that first step today.
Remember: Extraordinary standards create extraordinary lives.
The only limitations we have are those we create ourselves. And
so I invite everyone today to join me in committing to a life
without limits!

Become a Master of
your own Destiny
by June McHardy
It is now a proven fact that this universe
operates within a perfect system of natural laws. One of the most universally
recognized of these laws is the Law of Gravity. According to the law of gravity,
we all know that if you walked off the roof of a 12 story building anywhere in
the world, you'd go "splat" on the sidewalk, whether you understood this law or
whether you believed in it. The law would prevail.
Similarly, there are many other natural laws operating in our marvelous
universe, one of which is the "Law of Positive Expectancy". In other words,
whatever you think about all the time, with emotion, MUST be brought about in
your outer material world.
For example, when you get a great idea, and dwell on it, plan it and get excited
about it, you activate the universal forces which will draw in opportunities,
people and resources to help you achieve your goal. However the opposite is also
true. When you start having fear or worry thoughts and dwell on them and
visualize the worst possible outcome you are using the same universal forces to
bring about exactly what you fear because what you think about expands and
becomes your reality.
Therefore you owe it to yourself to always monitor your thoughts. Become a "mind
policeman".
Whenever you start thinking fear or worry thoughts, STOP!!
Ask yourself these questions:
How can I improve this? . .
What can I learn from this? . .
Is there an opportunity here?.
As soon as you change your negative self-talk into positive, you change your
vibrations and you change what you are drawing into your life . . because THAT
IS THE LAW!
We are always engaging in self-talk. Consider the following situation: You see a
possible opportunity and you say to yourself...
"This looks like a great idea!" (positive)
"But what if I try and it doesn't work?" (negative)
"Still, it looks too good to pass up!" (positive)
"OK, but I can't do it right now, I'm too busy.... or.. I wouldn't know where to
start...or..I'm not smart enough.. or ...etc." (negative)
Wouldn't this be better self-talk?
"This looks like a great idea!" (positive)
Let's write down all the pros and cons so we can evaluate the idea properly"
(positive)
"It looks too good to pass up!" (positive)
"Let's make a plan, work out what needs to be done and take a first step"
(positive)
You can easily see that the second course of action would be more effective than
the first in moving you towards your goal. The important thing is that we have
been given free will. We don't have to follow the pattern that we learned from
our parents or that we picked up over the years. If we are habitually harboring
negative thoughts or fears, then we must make some changes in order to improve
our lives. The problem is that we have been given this marvelous brain which is
many, many times more efficient and capable than the best computer that man can
build and no-one gave us an operating manual.
We owe it to ourselves to learn HOW to push the right buttons in our brains and
create the reality that we deserve.
Let's become masters of our own destiny!
