Get Your Brand New Thought-Patterns for 2010 Here!

Your imagination will become weak through inaction. It can be revived & made alert through use ~Napoleon Hill

All over the world there is a mad rush to organize thoughts that we all hope will make 2010 a better year. Even the Huffington post is getting in on the act!

There’s just enough time to get inside our heads and dream about how we want to progress in the coming year. While you’re more likely to dwell on what you haven’t got now, that you’d like to have, you’re less likely to think about what you have got that is insidiously holding you back.

In the same way that it’s essential to declutter your physical living space in order to free up energy for progress and development, it’s also critical to take a long, hard look at the emotional baggage (clutter) that you may be carrying around, and that may be taking up space and crowding out your positive thoughts and curbing your ability to grow.

Judith’s Story

I’d like to tell you about Judith, a relative of mine. She felt she was unloved. Although her brother and mother tried hard to convince her otherwise, she allowed a tidal wave of anger to grow inside her because she was ’so unloved.’

These feeling began when her father left them when she was only three years old. He married again and never came back. Judith focused on that period of negativity instead of the many positive aspects of her life: her loving mother, talented, fun and affectionate brother, patient husband and gorgeous kids. She allowed her failed relationship with only one of her significant people to poison her entire life. Inevitably she was diagnosed with Cancer and died somewhere around her 48th birthday, sad, alone and in pain–even though she was surrounded by loving family members–because she simply wouldn’t unload her emotional baggage.

Mary Takes Her Life Back!

By contrast, let’s take the story of Mary. She married at sixteen and had two children, leaving her husband because he was a womanizer. She endured her second ‘plodding’ marriage because she didn’t want to have another failed marriage to her credit. Until, that was, she discovered her husband had been molesting her daughter for at least five years. She left at once, not knowing quite how she was going to manage–an uneducated woman with no support and four young mouths to feed. This mountain of negativity would have been enough to crush many women and keep them in failure mode for the rest of their lives.

But Mary was determined that what had happened so far wasn’t going to define her life, or the lives of her children. She got a job as a janitor and worked hard. Soon she was promoted. Instead of paying rent she opted to tighten her belt, live simply and pay the mortgage on a small house she loved. Twenty-five years on she owns her own house, still works part time, now in charge of a team of cleaning staff, and her children have made their way in the world because she set them an unbeatable example:

• You don’t have to put up with people in your life who unethical, unscrupulous or abusive. Don’t do it.
• You CAN go after your dreams if you want. Only your imagination limits you–so liberate your imagination.

What are the thoughts that are holding you back?

It could be that you have so many limiting thoughts that you don’t know where to begin. Start by selecting just one and work on it for a week. For example, if you feel that everything is against you and that you can’t be happy, resolve to look at events in a different light. Look at what happens to you in the course of a day and allow yourself to interpret it in a positive light: above all smile. Do it just for a week and keep notes. At the end of the week–let’s make a date for January 8–come back and leave a comment here to let me know how much difference it made.

You might want to tackle more than one of your limiting beliefs–eventually you’ll find you can manage more because with each one you discard, your own personal energy will be freed up and allowed to create you and your life in their true form.

And remember:

For changes to be of any true value, they have got to be lasting and consistent. ~Tony Robbins

Why is this guide just what you need right now?

How to succeed at last…

Because it’s not about ‘getting control of your life’ (although you will), it’s about achieving your full potential and discovering who you really are.

And because for most of us, making changes Isn’t done from the right perspective: our New Year’s resolutions are just cosmetic solutions that we try to slap on top of the rest of our lives. Inevitably, real, life-transforming change must come from the ground up. The truth is, it’s virtually impossible to perfect one area of your life when the rest is lacking: we have to make adjustments across the board to really get where we want to go.

Instead of brooding over this prospect, download the guide. I think you’ll find that once you start introducing change into your life in the correct way you’ll suddenly find that you enjoy it: each tiny victory will spur you on to bigger and better ones!

#1 Success Secret: Building Self Esteem

Everyone yearns for the trappings of personal success, no matter what they may claim. So it stands to reason that everyone’s looking for the ’secrets to success’ that seem to be so elusive to so many.

Self esteem, or rather lack of it, is  a major stumbling block. Even if it’s on a subconscious level, feelings of unworthiness are common.

Let’s get one thing straight here: YOU are worthy of success. YOU are good enough to succeed.

Dwelling on negative thoughts will drag you down, making you hesitant and unsure. If your lack of self esteem is extreme you may need coaching to help you develop a healthier outlook, one that will enable you to finally start making headway with personal relationships, your business or career and every other aspect of your life.

But what can you do to nurture your own self esteem?

• First, it’s important to realize your not the only one with a low self-esteem problem. Most of us suffer to one degree or another.
• Get rid of the guilt. Either admit to yourself that you have done something wrong and fix it, or accept that you are feeling guilt for something that you bear no guilt for. I’m not telling you to ignore your conscience. But guilt is a sneaky feeling that makes us feel bad often for no reason at all.
• Build a support network of positive people around you. Distance yourself from those who magnify your feelings of low self-esteem. If someone needs to make you feel insignificant in order to feel good themselves then they have no place in your support network: you don’t need them.
• Failure is not a permanent state. Everyone fails sometimes, even the most successful people that ever lived. And they would all tell you that having failed was nothing more than a stepping stone to success.
• Every time you find yourself in a situation where low self-esteem is holding you back, take the time to list all the reasons why you deserve to succeed. List your past successes and give yourself permission to feel good about them. Include even your small successes: Any major achievement is nothing more than a series of smaller successes.
• Finally, as I mentioned, if you find you’re not making the progress you’d hoped for, enlist the help of a personal coach to help you identify and tackle the reasons for your lack of self-esteem.
