I believe that most people must be using their magic excuses for the reasons why they are not succeeding in achieving what they truly want.

They even justify and prove to themselves that their excuses seem real and true. It’s the limiting attitude that belongs to those who are not successful. They use their magic excuses to justify their own failure whenever they do not have a real reason. Whereas the real reasons for their failure are lying inside them. Everyone has these magic excuses to answer why everything runs the wrong way.

Perhaps their magic excuse is their low education, poor financial condition, zero amounts of money, their age and many more. Their secret excuse is one of the ways to avoid the reality without doing self-introspection and improving themselves. Moreover, they will not grow better because they do not want to take the responsibility for their life. They believe their excuse is lying outside and out of their control.

The simplest way to eliminate this secret excuse from being used is to realize that no matter how great or make-sense your magic excuse is, it is very common. Those who live in a life filled with success have dealt with it. And I believe and you must too, that there are many people out there in this world that have overcome and passed this situation and eventually succeed.

There are so many people who have been successful that was coming from poor family. There are many people who have been self-made millionaires where they had no money in the past. There are many people who have been successful persons at their very young or old age. There are also many people who had not been well-educated but be able to create an outstanding life that makes many of us jealous.

The important thing you need to know is realizing that those who have been successful never use their magic excuses for their failure. They take full responsibility and take control of their life, not life controls them. When unsuccessful person is looking for excuses, successful person looks for pathway of success.

Daily Motivation - October 24, 2008

Once upon a time, there lived a woman who had married and become a housewife. She handled and done the house work. She had three little children from her marriage. Her beloved husband worked in a place far outside that made him went home back only once a week. So, all the work in the house was done by his wife.

However, this woman had great complaint about her children’s mischievous behavior that made her depressed. Her three children often made incredibly noisy sound, quarreled, messed the home up and they didn’t obey their mother’s words. This happened continuously almost every single day. No day without peace. This stressed the woman out, added with plenty of house work to do that made her felt like crazy.

She then visited a wise man to ask for some advice for her problem. The wise man was famous because of her capability to solve any problems well. The wise man looked at her frowned face and asked, “What can I do for you? I see you have heavy burden. Tell me!” Then the woman sighed and told all her problems about her naughty children. She told him how she was so tired of that condition and asked for some advice to get out of it.

The wise man smiled, showing his small laughter and said, “After listening to what you have told me, I think you should be grateful for this.” The woman was surprisingly confused and replied, “Grateful? What should I grateful for? Everyday I keep my wrath and I am so stressed with it.”

The man tried to elaborate it and said, “Ok. I want you to see this from different point of view. I want you to see it in a positive way. If you think your problem comes from your children, it means your house is more colorful because of their existence, weep and laughter. Because of them, your family becomes perfect. Now, imagine what it can be if you do not have any children. Your house and your life will be quiet and deadly silent. You will feel lonely and you will also be boring. Isn’t it expectation of all parents to have children? Look at ones who have no child, how they feel, how they pray for a child, how they miss so much the laughter and weep of a baby, how they live in loneliness. Even, there is a husband divorces his wife just because of not able to bear a child. You should be grateful to God for what you have today. You should be happy because your children make your life more colorful.”

Suddenly, the woman smiled widely. She understood what the man had told her. Since, she was happier and grateful for his enlightenment.

Message for readers:

When people encounter a problem, they always give their attention and focus to the bad and negative things. This will surely drive you to the more negative state. The negative state is one of un-resourceful state. You get and achieve nothing by being in that state. There is no benefit from un-resourceful state.

Change your focus and give your attention only for positive things. There is always positive thing behind negative thing, so the smile of happiness will always follow you in your life. You do not need to be in the state of ‘self-pity’ for ominous problem you encounter. All you need to do is seeing your problems in a positive way. This can drive you to a state of more confidence in facing your life that is unpredictable and sometimes doesn’t run as you expect. And finally, your life will be easier to be undergone with enthusiasm.

Daily Motivation - October 15, 2008

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful and prosperous kingdom ruled by an emperor. The emperor lived in an extremely gorgeous castle where there was a large amount of beautiful painting collections. His main hobby was collecting all kinds of paintings. He sometimes bought it or sometimes ordered someone to paint it as he told. All of his lovely paintings were hung on the wall of the castle, so he could see and enjoy them every single day.

One day, there was a young man came to the emperor offering to make a painting for him. The young man heard that the emperor liked collecting paintings. The emperor was pleased to hear that and took the deal with the young man to draw a painting. The emperor gave him one day to finish and sent it the next day. So the young man drew a painting of a large castle in the middle of a blue lake with the background of high hills and a mountain at dusk. He added the reddish light of the sun shining behind the hills.

The next day, he handed it over to the emperor’s servant and he then took it to the emperor in his room. After waiting for several minutes, the servant said to the young man to paint it more beautifully. The young man then painted it again and handed it. But, the servant said representing the emperor to try to make it better. Being confused, he then put his best to revise it as good as he could.

The next day, the emperor came and met the young man face to face, not his servant. He then finally praised the painting that was so beautifully and impressively made. And the emperor said, “Do you know that I never saw your last two paintings? Neither did I open or see it. I just told you to revise it better, and you do it. If I didn’t tell you, you probably would never give your best to paint it more beautiful.”

Message for readers:

Majority of people feel that they have done something extremely well and they say that the have put their best effort. And even majority of them giving up doing whatever it takes to achieve success. And the worst, some of them never do something because of believing they do not deserve it. They feel that they have reached their limit, so they can no longer break it. Their limitation blocks them to achieve success.

Your limitations are just in your mind. Your real limitation is the limitation that you make and give to yourself. Your capabilities to achieve whatever you desire are unlimited. You have unlimited power, unlimited resources and unlimited abilities to achieve whatever you want to be and to have. Too many of you, perhaps, make your own limitation. There is no limitation. You live in a world without limitation.

Just take an example. Years ago, many people would laugh at you when you said that human can travel to the space, moon or Mars using spaceship. They would never think even once that it would be possible. But, look at now, astronauts can now head to the moon and Mars. People can now travel to the space to see the earth. Even there will be hotels to stay in the space in the future. Can you imagine that? There is no limitation. You can imagine the possibilities of what the future will be in the next years ahead. What people believe to be the limitation in the past will be possible in the future. It is just the matter of time to prove and breakthrough the limit.

So, what are your limitations? You have no limitation. It’s just the limitation you give to yourself. Breakthrough your limit and unleash your unlimited power to achieve higher success and anything you desire in this abundant life.
