Daily Motivation - 21 January, 2009
Success in its broadest meaning is not limited to only monetary and material possessions. It reveals as being plentiful in countless and several forms in life and nature.
The universal spirit of consciousness, craves to continuously manifest and express itself; this power likewise expresses its longing to demonstrate success, which is naturally wanting to develop, to grow and become bigger and stronger.
However, many realize this longing and natural inclination for growth repressed in them, because of negative thinking, unconstructive programming, and not having enough faith in their abilities and themselves.
Every individual has dual natures. One wants the self to move forward while the other feels like pulling back. The one nature that one concentrates and cultivates on determines what one is at the final end, as both natures tries to hold and to be in control.
One’s “will” resolves the issue alone. An individual by one utmost attempt of the “will” can change one’s whole vocation and accomplish miracles. Which is why having an open mind is very significant.
One having a closed mind grasps to a concept without much concern for evidence. They might have even reached at their concept without supporting material evidence. As a result, when one is presented with evidence that is contradicting to their concept, they immediately dismiss it.
Whereas one having an open mind before reaching any conclusion, considers first the many evidences approving or disapproving the many interpretations of the concept. They do not just gather information. Their concern encourages them to weigh what they have learned and work towards reaching a decision or conclusion based on facts and evidences.
An open mind allows one to magnetize opportunities and insist and continue on following opportunities, regardless of how small they appear. An open mind is open to all opportunities and possibilities, big or small.
A closed mind however, is stubborn, wanting what the mind envisions without any delay and wanting it as exactly as what the mind perceived it to be, not willing to accept or try something else in its place, when that which the mind has envisioned can not be accomplished or reached.
When one closes his mind and becomes stubborn, one in essence tells his higher self, including the “powers of the universe” that one is not eager to mature and encounter new things, so then there will be no progress and no transformation and things in one’s life will never have a chance to improve.
Whatever the mind can envision, the mind can create. What the mind sees, believes feels and thinks are all conveyed to the subconscious mind that then works along with the universal forces and establishes your reality centered on the visualization of the conscious mind.
Bear in mind though, that it is not sufficient to merely imagine and hope it materializes. Having the power to imagine means also having the power and the capability to work on it to achieve it.
You can achieve it when you open up your mind to success and get rid of limiting thoughts. As to how restricted your life may be and what the circumstances present you at the moment does not really matter, because when you decide to change your attitudes and thoughts, and begin to think without notable limitations, your life’s direction will begin to change.
Focus on possibilities, rather than limitations and expand your thoughts to what is that you believe as yourself.
Here are guidelines on how to program your thoughts for success:
1. Continuously and abundantly display images of your “model” persons, whom you want to become, and things that you want to accomplish. Read magazines containing stories and pictures of lives that you wish to attain.
2. Read autobiographies of successful people. Constantly read self-progress materials packed with examples and ideas of women and men who had set goals, overcome hardships and misfortunes and accomplished what they aimed for in the end.
3. Always affirm yourself. In each undertaking, take the time to focus, “close your eyes” and set a clear mental image of the outcome. Then repeatedly say and claim that you have already achieved it.
4. Nourish your mind with positive thoughts before sleeping, after waking up, at lunch break, anytime. Do not give a chance for negative thoughts to enter into your mind.
Thoughts hold great power. Be conscious of the thoughts that comes into your mind; let the positive in, never entertain the negative. Open up your mind to possibilities and never be afraid to try; if you fail, take it as an opportunity that you have learned so much from failing and try again.

Year 2008 ends and we are in the New Year 2009. I believe, of course, we had passed so many things in that year. But, the question is whether you had achieved your goals or targets.
Perhaps in the beginning of 2008, you had set your powerful resolution and you declared your commitment to fulfill and also promised to yourself to accomplish what you had written on your resolution. You had strong belief that you could make it came true. You promised that you would do whatever it took to succeed.
But, several days later, you began to forget your resolution. You kept doing something away from it over again and again. Then you lost your motivation, and broke your own promise. Your resolution became just a useless written paper. Have you ever been trapped in such a condition?
Have you been in a situation where you were fully motivated when you wrote down your resolution and then found yourself fully unmotivated several months, weeks or even several days later? Many people did that. The reason for this phenomenon is because majority of people do not have commitment.
Yes, they write their resolution and then do nothing but expect their resolution comes to life easily. They just wish without having commitment to do whatever it takes. Being lack of commitment makes people have thousands of excuses why they do not succeed.
Now, ask yourself. Do you write your new year’s resolution? If you do, do you have commitment to achieve it? Do you want to pay the price for your resolution and do whatever it takes? If you don’t, you have no commitment for it because you do not feel it is a must. You just give another choice to yourself so you have the mindset “if I achieve my resolution, it’s great. If I don’t, it’s just OK as well”.
If you make your resolution a must, you will give your best effort and power to achieve it. You will have the mindset “I must achieve it whatever it is. If I don’t achieve it, I will keep going until I make it”. But if you don’t, you can simply forget and be easy to give up on the pathway to achieving it.
If you are serious about your resolution, you have no choice but commit to make it a must. Burn down your way behind so you can’t turn back but keep moving ahead. Don’t let your resolution just promise merely. Make it comes true. Make it a must for you. If you make it a must, prepare yourself for success.

Like I said in the previous articles that everyone, including you, have all the resources or potentials to attain great achievement in your life. You have no limit to what you want to be, to do and to have. The only limitation you have is the limitation you set for yourself.
If everybody has wishes for victory, and if success is very achievable to everybody, why then, only a few succeed? This is because only a few believe in their potentials, and most of them, do not believe in their own power to change their life and start creating or designing their compelling life.
These types of people see to believe. They will believe only and if only they see in their own eyes. They differ from successful people who believe to see. They believe what they will achieve even though they do not make it yet. They hold their goals in their mind in every moment and believe they will make them come true in time.
The mind must first be in a state of believing and not just hoping or wishing for something. When you have strong beliefs for something, you will open many opportunities that support your beliefs. But first, you have to believe because if you don’t, you will not tap into your fullest potential to the greatest achievement.
Possessing positive, constructive and empowering beliefs in your mind is the good step towards making a positive outlook, resulting to a brighter and more successful life.
For instance you have supporting beliefs with regards to money, and at the same time, you believe that many ways are offered in order to attain money. Yet if, for any reason you do not believe you will be able to make money, then you will not make that certain amount or sum of money that you want. Yes, what you truly believe will expand.
Your belief is like software that is programmed in a certain way. If you believe that you will never be successful, then you have programmed your software in that way. In the future, when good opportunities come to you, your software will delete or filter them, so they will pass and go away.
Your destructive and disempowering belief is like virus program that can harm your computer as well as your mind. All you need to do is to uninstall or delete these virus programs and install the software that supports your need.
You need to be careful of what you program your mind to. You need to be wiser to choose the software you want to install in your mind.
The power of believing is very strong and affects our feelings. Your feelings will lead to your actions and your actions will create your results. So in order to create desired results, you need to first believe in what you are doing. You have to believe to see. And to possess empowering belief, you must install empowering software in your mind.

Worry, frustration, confusion, depression and fear are all states of mind that make you difficult to achieve and block success.
There is no success in a mind with negative state. Peace and calmness in your mind is needed to set your positive state of mind to attain your success.
Normally you will find it quite difficult to manage and control your mind. Your mind just runs and flies up and down, right and left, in and out anywhere anytime without knowing how you can make it tame.
In meditation, you can achieve a level called peaceful and calm mind that is free of negative state of mind, so you are able to experience happiness, encouraging and attracting positive behavior. A negative state of mind only attracts negative feelings and behavior therefore it is a great barrier to great achievement.
With a negative state of mind, you will seldom or never experience happiness or any positive results you desire. Constant meditation trains the mind to be tamer, more cheerful and peaceful. This is a state of mind that is very crucial to achieving success. You will act very differently with a positive state of mind rather than you do with a negative state of mind.
The mind is like a power or energy station, sending out energy or power that is represented by your thought. These are then received by the subconscious mind that will create and gather all the supportive situations or people or even opportunities to assist and guide you to achieve what your thoughts and goals are.
So if you want to achieve or accomplish your goals and you do not truly believe you will be able to, or if you, with your negative state of mind, constantly think about the reason why you can’t or why it’s hard, then you will send the power or energy that will create everything that will support your thought to make it hard to accomplish. Whatever you think about will come to you in return.
This is the reason why you must eliminate all your negative state of mind or negative thought, and you need to entertain your positive mind. Positive state of mind will attract positive things to support you in achieving positive results. Blacklist all your negative thoughts, fire them all and employ only positive thoughts.
Negative state of mind never helps you to achieve success, but positive state of mind does.
Your negative state of mind can’t encourage or motivate you, but positive state of mind can.
Your negative state of mind will never attract the results you expect, but positive state of mind will.
And it is your decision to employ a negative or positive state of mind. the power to choose is in you.

Know in your mind and your heart that you are capable of accomplishing anything you desire in life. But, if you are uncertain, then you lose the game right there and then. You cannot ever accomplish anything when you first do not believe that you can. The key is to believe and have strong faith that you can achieve anything you want. You have to believe that you have all the resources to be what you truly want to be.
Keep in mind that every action begins with either a positive or negative thought, whereby positive thoughts gains positive results and negative thought gains negative results. Believe in every action you do and believe you will finally get to your desired place.
Be enthusiastic in everything you do. It will create a great momentum. When you are satisfied or have done something good, it adds more enthusiasm into your life. Consequently, your motivation will be unleashed within you.
Take action. Act on your dreams. Take the necessary steps towards achieving it and begin now, not tomorrow. There is no tomorrow. Each day, set up a plan or strategy of goals-oriented action and then work on it.
Look at your goals each day and be inspired from it. Never allow negative thoughts to invade your mind even if you do not make any progress. Never let it discourage you. Never let it stop you. Successful people however keep on rising and going when others quitting after just a few obstacles.
Enhance your knowledge by indulging in inspirational and positive books or seminars, talk to successful people and never stop learning. It is the principle of constant and never-ending improvement. Keep on focusing on success, on your goals. Minimize spending time with negative things in life as they will affect you and make you down. Maximize your time with successful people so their power and enthusiasm will affect you too. Your inspiration will show up.
Success is built on the inspiration of all your dreams and decisions that you have made for a certain period. Note that it will not come within a night. It needs time and step-by-step process. Never expect success will come in lightning speed like junk food that comes to you in an instant. So be patient, your time will come.
Make that decision to succeed now. It’s your decision that shapes your destiny and changes your life. Look into yourself and see that your flaming desire, ready to be ignited by your inspiration and ready to soar. Take some actions now, or else, nothing will happen and they will just remain to be a dream. You achieve your success by taking action. Action is your activator to outstanding success.

Finding inspiration will successfully lead you through a voyage of happiness, hope and complete sense of your individuality. Lacking or absence of inspiration will result to exactly the opposite.
When you are inspired, it brings a certain feeling of enthusiasm about your life. When you finally find inspiration, it will surely push you to your highest power to achieve success.
Inspiration to each and every individual is different and unique. The inspiration that makes you motivated to pursue success may differ from the inspiration that makes others motivated. For most, inspiration is the key to a life of living meaningfully and successfully. It’s your responsibility to find out your inspiration, not others’ inspiration.
When you have no direction or destination as to where to go and what goal to pursue, you will become less motivated. You will walk on the dark pathway without knowing where you are and where you are going.
Your inspiration is determined by your goals or dreams, and the direction that one wishes to live his life. When you truly want to live an abundant, outstanding and meaningful life, then the inspiration will be easily found in success stories of those who have achieved success. You can find inspiration from other people that have achieved astounding results you desire. The key factor is find something that can make you inspired like crazy.
Inspiration is a chief motivator because it will be your driving force to success. Inspiration leads to enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is an attitude of confidence, curiosity and fully motivation to do something. It is your success machine that keeps you going aligns with your goals to your destination. It is a very strong force that makes you hungry for success, fight for it and win as a true champion in your life.
Note that the pessimists are those who lack of enthusiasm, thus destroy their inspiration. They do not have any motivational force in everything they do in life. Can you guess the results they achieve? When they lack of motivation, they will fall easily when they encounter any problems or obstacles. They face life with very different attitude from when they do in turbo-charged motivation.
Now, it's your choice. You have the power to choose what is valuable for you. You have the responsibility to make yourself inspired and motivated. The successful people unleash their motivation to supercharge their success. It is the ability for achieving success beyond imagination.
