How are you doing with those resolutions you made almost two weeks ago?  Don’t feel bad if you’ve already botched your resolved efforts.  Many people give up, because they do not have the proper mindset.  It is key to achieving your goals and desired results.

I’m sure you know, you can have do or be anything you want in life.  But, do you believe it? We’ve been conditioned to think we can’t achieve or obtain the life we want.  So, we are left to wonder how do we get there?

The last resolution that I made and kept, was 27 years ago , when I quit smoking. I ate lemon heads when I wanted a cigarette.  It worked!  It was a lot better than that gum they had out then.  How is chewing something that tasted like you licked the ashtray going to make you quit smoking?  No Thank-You!

First of all,you need to know what it is that you really want.  Then get in touch with it.  Set aside some quiet time to meditate and take an inward journey.  Like the Bible says get to “know thyself.”  It is a learning process as well as a commitment, to train your mind to get in the proper mindset.  A proper mindset is complete with vivid visions and positive actions necessary to help you create the life  and desired results you want.

The Law of Attraction teaches us that like attracts like.  Whatever your thoughts are, you attract those thoughts into your life.  But, did you know your thoughts create your life? So, with that thought in mind, there is no room for negativity.

Resolutions, no…I don’t do that.  What I do is set goals, both long and short term goals. I put them in writing, and put them on a message board where I am sure to see them at least three times a day.  It gives me a sense of empowerment, when I can cross something off the list as an accomplishment.

Which brings me to a great example of accomplishment.  Did you ever ask yourself how President elect Barack  Obama, executed the most effective campaign ever created to win the election?  Well, obviously, he has the proper mindset, to have achieved the winning results.  I believe he used something like the five P’s, which are proper preparation prevents poor performance.  He properly prepared for the goal he set out to  achieve.  The outcome, the most brilliant campaign ever, lacking any poor performance.

Whatever, your choice is, resolutions or goal setting, understand that the process takes time and commitment to yourself.  Always tell yourself that you are worth whatever it takes, to get to where you want to be.  Be consciously aware of the steps necessary to creating change.  It is a process.  Take one day and one challenge at a time, and live everyday in the NOW.

It’s true – you can have, do and be anything you want in life.  But, we’ve been conditioned to think otherwise. So, how do we get it?

First of all, you need to know what you want and really get in touch with it.  Set aside some quiet time to meditate and take an inward journey.  Like the Bible says get to “know thyself.” It is a learning process to train your mind to get in the proper mindset, visions and positivities to create the life you want.  You need to know how to CREATE desired results.

The next step is to just “BE”.  To “BE” is simply the self-image that you hold of yourself in the corners of your mind.  You’ll know you have achieved your state of being, when it is no longer a question.  You ARE whatever you’ve set out to become.  Real change happens from the inside out.  The Law of Attraction, teaches us that like attracts like. Whatever your thoughts are, you attract those thoughts to your life. So, there is no room in your thoughts for negativity.  You must erase your “stinkin’ thinkin’” ( the stuff you were raised with that tells you that you can’t have what you truly want).  Replace it with your new self-image of what and who you are.  The hard part is, you must ACCEPT yourself in your new role.  It is a choice and a decision, but just do it.  You’ll be glad you did.

The next step is to THINK.  Is your life all that you want it to be?  If it is not, it is because of your thoughts.  Your thoughts control your life.  They are responsible for both the good and bad things that happen to you.  Don’t allow yourself to be a victim of your past. Don’t allow thoughts of lack, scarcity, or negativity to enter your mind.   Instead, take charge of your life, by taking control of your thoughts.  Create the life of your dreams.  Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow doesn’t exist yet- so, NOW is your point of EMPOWERMENT.

Watch what you say.  You know the old saying, “If you don’t have anything good or kind to say, say nothing at all.”  So, speak only good, kind, prosperous, and positive words in all situations.

Then play name it and claim it.  Act as if and truly BELIEVE you are already living your perfect life as you visualized and designed it.  Surround yourself with people you admire and look up to.  This process does take time and commitment to yourself.  Always tell yourself that you are worth whatever it takes.  Be consciously aware of the steps to creating change, and live everyday in the NOW.
