*Faith Does Move Mountains
*The Success Zone
Did you know that Success and Faith have a
great deal in common? You can't have lasting success without
having faith in yourself, or in your team, or in the
universe, or in God. And the interesting thing about
faith, is that it starts with the assumption of success.
It literally means an inner knowledge of something. So why
wouldn't we gratefully use this wonderful tool on a daily basis?
It's the first step towards success! The authors of the
following guest articles know how to use faith.

Faith Does Move
Mountains
by Lisa van den Berg
It never ceases to amaze me.
There you are going about your normal day and you suddenly
realize that you're very worried about something. It sort of
creeps up on you when you feel the muscles in your shoulders
bunch up and you can't seem to get enough sleep, no matter how
hard you try.
Do you know the signs that tell you when you've had enough? No?
Well, learning to recognize them will be a fundamental first
step to helping you to come to grips with your life.
Some people can't sleep, some get incredibly tense shoulder and
back muscles, some get irritable and snappy, some cry and go all
weak. Regardless of what the signs are, you need to get to know
what does it for you.
When you learn to recognize that the stress load you're putting
on yourself is getting to be too much for your body to handle,
stop and analyze your situation.
It is far better to sort out your problems, fears and anxieties
than to let them keep on stressing you out. Any of the above
symptoms is your body's way of alerting you to the fact that you
need to take action to resolve the situation, before there are
serious repercussions. It is trying to tell you to slow down and
sort out whatever is happening so that you can get rid of some
of the load and let it repair itself.
In her brilliant book 'Feel the Fear…And Do It Anyway!' Dr Susan
Jeffers says that it is far easier to face what you fear than
living with the burden of your fear. Once the problem is faced
and resolved, a huge weight is lifted from your shoulders and
you allow yourself to see the brighter side of things. You sleep
better, thus getting more rest and allowing your body and mind
to heal. You can free up some thinking time to keep your mind
focused on the goals you've set rather than worrying about the
past or the future.
When things get too much for you to handle, I always advise that
you say the following verse to yourself and follow its sage
advice
'I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please
remember that I do not need your help.
If Life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot
handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTH
(something for God to handle) box. All situations will be
resolved, but in My time, not yours.'
Once the matter is placed in the box, do not hold onto it by
worrying about it. Instead focus on all the wonderful things
that are present in your Life now.
It works for me without fail. The stronger my Faith becomes the
more I know that I am not alone and that God will help me
through everything in my life. I imagine Him to be sitting at
the back of the hall when I give a speech, holding me in his
arms when I cry, cradling me to sleep when I'm tired and pinning
a gold medal on my jacket when I've achieved.
Imagine a box and put all your cares and worries into it. Wrap
it up nicely and hand it over to God and, as it says, don't
think about the problems any longer, just know that the answers
will come in their own time. Keep an eye out for the signs He
will send, and soon you will have the solution to all that
troubles you.
I do not know which verse in the Bible this is, but it inspires
me to keep the Faith.
'Worry not about what you should eat or drink or what you should
wear, for your Heavenly Father knows you need all of these
things, but first seek the Kingdom of God and all these things
will be given to you.'
May you find the Faith you need to get where you want to go.

The Success Zone
by Joel Suarez
I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “in the zone,” particularly
as it
applies to athletes or others who are unflappable as they eye
the
goal. Sometimes you can be in the zone regarding your success
and
nothing gets in your way; other times you can do everything
right and
find that whatever can go wrong, will.
Here are thoughts on building the habit of success and getting
“in the
zone.”
= Achieve Success by Expecting It
You must understand that the path from where you are to where
you want
to be is not always smooth or straight. When you hit those
inevitable
bumps in the road, your character, commitment, and attitude will
help
get you “in the zone” or at least, keep you there.
= Success Breeds Success
“Mo.” That shortened word of “mo” speaks of momentum—the ability
to
continually succeed and build on the past successes you’ve had.
Most
people understand that when they have one (big or small)
success, it
encourages them and makes them believe they can do anything.
Salespeople know it, and they strive for it.
When you’ve unlocked the key to your success (whatever that may
be),
you’ll find your “mo” and that nothing can get in your way.
= Choosing Success
We all understand that we can choose to be happy or miserable,
and
that our choices will affect our lives for the better or worse.
When
you opt to be happy, you choose to identify with the
accomplishments
in life that exude who you are and who you have striven to be.
You can choose to look on the positive side, just as you can
choose
success. Remember, success is more than just wealth. Choose the
positive side of things and you choose to remember and live your
successes, not your failures.
= Experts Don’t Know Everything
If you have a plan that seems to go against all the conventional
wisdom and yet you know in your soul that this WILL work, then
follow
your gut instincts. The “experts” are wrong all the time—from
medical
experts who predict incorrectly to future-trending experts who
foretell the wrong trends and costs corporations millions.
More than 100 years ago, someone wanted to close down the US
Patent
office because he thought everything that could be invented had
been
and that no one would need to patent anything else, ever. So
don’t
listen to the nay sayers and “experts”—sometimes they are dead
wrong!
