Sunday Morning Inspiration - The Power of Intimacy

Have you ever experienced true intimacy? The power of intimacy with the Spirit that transforms the life from inside out? Listen to the video for more.

Saturday Tunespiration - Afraid to love again?

Been hurt and afraid to love again? Why stand on the sidelines wishing life had been better. Get your thoughts together and take a chance and let true love in. Live again.

Today's tunespiration comes from West Life - The Rose. 

The Rose

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

Getting My Body Back Friday - Wisdom to Unlock the Door to your Health

Watching what one eats is necessary to nourish the physical body. Physical exercise is also an important element to maintain good health. But most importantly, one needs to deal with one's spiritual connection and thought process to ensure overall health. 

If our thoughts are not in harmony with the spiritual laws we reap the results of this disharmony. We cannot expect to have long lasting physical success and make the progress we desire to have if we are harbouring feelings of worry, fear, anxiety, low self-esteem and any other negative emotions which hinder any results. These emotions produce resistance in our bodies and inhibit any health success we're trying to make.

When we remove these negative emotions from our lives we become open to receive the wisdom of the Spirit to unlock the door to our health. Wisdom comes from being in harmony with the Universal Mind of God, and by acting on this wisdom in the form of inspired ideas, we are moving with the wind of the Spirit and going with the flow of health.

The key to our wholeness begins within - with our inner connection with the Universal Spirit and our thought patterns that are in harmony with the Mind of God.

Not getting the results you desire? Check your spiritual connection, check your thought patterns. Are they in harmony with wholeness, in health? Do you see yourself as whole? Do you see yourself at the ideal weight? Do you accept this as your belief?

Start from within and work outward to create the change you desire to manifest.

Action Thursday - Q & A to Wisdom to Unlock the Door to your Life

Here are a few questions from the posts this week. Feel free to ask any questions you have or leave your comment on them down below.

Q. What does it mean to come up higher to hear what the Spirit has to offer?

A. To come up higher means to go to higher level of inspiration, a high level of living. The physical plane is the lower level. We move to a higher level of living when we connect on the spiritual level with God.

To hear what the Spirit has to offer means to be open to the wisdom of the Spirit, to release all of your preconceived ideas and ways of doing things to be able to receive fresh creative ideas from the Mind of the Spirit.

Q. How do you release the old way of thinking when this is all you know and this way of thinking has become safe haven to living your life?

A. A willing heart is the first step to making progress. It is the seed which the Spirit can use to help you create the change and as a result of this change doors begin to unlock in your life. Consciously release the old way of thinking.

Q. What does it mean to get into the flow of the stream and move with the wind of the Spirit?

A. When you work in harmony with the Spirit you are moving with the flow of the stream and moving with the wind of the Spirit, much like going with the tide and not against it. It is more difficult to flow upstream than it is to go down stream.

How do you identify this harmony with the Spirit? When you are feeling joy and peace in what you do, you know that you are flowing with the Spirit and you are moving in harmony. When you find that you are full of frustration and anxiety you are in disharmony, you're struggling and the results are unproductive.

Q. What do I do when I sit in the silence? This is all new for me.

A. Find a place where you will not be disturbed. If at all possible let it be the same place each day.
Get into a comfortable position and release all tension - relax.
Turn your eyes and ears inward and look within to your inner spirit and listen within as well. You are entering into the inner sanctuary of the spirit where you connect with the Universal Spirit, with God. This is the place where you experience your oneness with God, where you become conscious of that oneness.
Allow yourself to feel the Spirit and allow the love, the joy and peace to fill your inner spirit.
Draw life and energy from your Eternal Source.
Draw wisdom from your Eternal Source. Let this be your daily practice.

Need Inspired Ideas to Unlock the Doors of Your Life?

Relax and center yourself

Inspiration comes all the time but the only way you can actually tap in to it is when you relax and center yourself and allow it to flow.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. When you release the tension, you free yourself from entanglement and you can now receive inspired ideas.

Use visualization

Spirituality - 7 Ways to Wisdom to Unlock Doors in your Life - Part 2

Here are the other 4 ways to wisdom to unlock doors in your life

#4 – Spend more time in the silence

Power resides in the silent place. Have your own personal retreat to turn within to the Spirit and develop that relationship with the Universal Spirit. It is in the silence that your inner channels become clear, that you gain wisdom, that you find your true self - where you find home. Your quiet time should be your most important time in your life. For it is here great ideas find their way to you, it is here where you are empowered from within and it is here where your unity with God is consciously realized and strengthened.

#5 – Listen often to the Spirit

Develop the habit of paying attention to the voice within. As you do this, the voice within becomes stronger than all others. You become confident in decision-making because you are guided by the wisdom of the Spirit. You’ll gain insight as you go about your daily affairs. You’ll keep away from certain places because you’ll know that that is not the direction you should take. You’ll know that when you are engaged in conversation that even though someone may say one thing to you that in their hearts they’re not being truthful. These are some of the benefits from listening and staying close to the Spirit.

#6 – Make the Spirit connection priority

Many times we allow our busy schedules to take priority over our Spirit connection. And while we are busy we’re losing precious energy trying to keep up with the demands of life. Some of these things that we label as important, in the scope of life and when we get our priorities straight, take a back seat to what’s more important. Each day we miss our ‘power up’ time with the Spirit is a day where we expel unnecessary energy and have not restored our energy supply from our Power Source. Is it any wonder why we experience fatigue so often?

#7 – Find and develop your unique interaction

We do not all think the same. Our personalities and experiences vary. Therefore our relationship with the Spirit is very different. But it is our responsibility to find and develop our unique interaction with the Spirit. Don’t be concerned with how someone else communicates with the Spirit. Find your own. Their way may work for them very well, if it works for you, great. If not, it’s time for you to develop and nurture that inner interaction with the Eternal Spirit. This is important and priority in your life. And when you have developed a solid foundation, no matter what comes your way, you’ll know where to get your answers.

Stop spinning your wheels and go directly to the Source and find all the answers you need to turn your life, your situation, around.

Spirituality - 7 Ways to Wisdom to Unlock Doors in your Life - Part 1

Come up higher and hear what the Spirit has to offer. No longer can you stay where you are using recycled and old methods of the past to live. You must ascend to a higher plane and leave the old way of thinking behind.

The Spirit is always ready but you must get into the flow of the Stream. You must move with the wind of the Spirit. You can no longer afford to stay on the banks of time. You need to leave fear behind and jump into the flow.

No longer can you depend on old knowledge or wisdom without the Spirit. Feeling stuck? You need wisdom and insight from above and you need it now. The old ways no longer work because the wind of change has come.

How can you get the wisdom you need from the Spirit to unlock the doors in your life?

#1 – Ask

What does the Spirit has to offer? Wisdom is available for any situation you have encountered or ever will encounter. There’s always an answer but you must ask. Many times we don’t have because we don’t ask and when we do ask we don’t really expect the answer. Let today be a new beginning and be willing to ask the Spirit for guidance to unlock the doors in your life.

#2 – Be open

Openness to new ideas, inspiration and instructions will pave the way for success. If you’re doing things one way all the time and you’re not getting any results don’t you think it’s time you’re open to try something new. This has nothing to do with doing something one time or a couple of times and you don’t see results yet and then you decide to give up. This is more about doing something for awhile and perhaps for years, staying in your so-called comfort zone even though it proves to be unsuccessful. There’s a difference.

#3 – Knowing the origin of the inspired idea

So you decided to ask and you’re open to new ideas but how would you know that your answer came from the Spirit and know that it is the right step to take? You will know because you’d know that the idea didn’t originate from you. E.g. you may say something like, “Why didn’t I think of that before?” You’ll feel inspired, excited and at peace.

Saturday Tunespiration - Life is a Song Worth Singing

Song Lyrics:

Life is a song worth singing
Why don’t you sing it?
Life is a song worth singing
Why don’t you sing it?

You hold the key in the palm of your hand, use it
Don’t blame your life on the master plan, change it

Only you generate the power
To decide what to do with your life
You’re a fool if you think you’re helpless
You control what you do with your life

Life is a song worth singing
Why don’t you sing it?
Life is a song worth singing
Why don’t you sing it?

Don’t like the way you’re living, too bad
Can’t change your life ‘cause it’s out of your hand, so sad

So you sit on your pants and holler
‘Cause the world ain’t been treating you right
Don’t you know you contain the power
To control destiny with your mind

You control what you do with your life
You’re a fool if you think you’re helpless
Can’t change your life ‘cause it’s out of your hand, so sad, no

You got the power, use it, use it
You got to control destiny with your mind
Right here, right here, right here
You decide what to do with your life, well, well

Life is a song worth singing

Getting My Body Back Friday - Becoming Your Own Life Master with Spirit Guidance for Effective Weight Loss

The master looks beyond appearances into the truth. Regardless of what your external situation looks like or what your body looks like at this present time, the master's focus rests on the truth of who you are internally and not on what physical appearances display. 

Our current external conditions are changeable and are therefore not our permanent state of being. Based on this knowledge we know that nothing remains the same and we can take comfort in knowing that this too will pass no matter how long the condition existed. 

Truth stands strong in the face of adversity. The question is, "What do you believe about your present situation, about your weight, about who you are?" Before you can move into truth, you must first know what you currently believe. 

When you look at your current external condition do you believe what your condition is saying to you? You're poor and always will be? You're overweight and always will be? You're sick and always will be? What do you believe? Do you agree with this statement? Do you believe the lie or the illusion? 

Here is where we begin to disagree with this lie and believe the truth. Truth is, by nature you are healthy, you are wealthy and your weight condition is only temporary. When you begin to believe this and accept this as your truth, you are beginning the imprinting process of who you are. 

This is not always an easy step because you've been trained to look at your external condition and respond to it and not the other way around which is to look at the truth of who you are, believe that and manifest it in your life. 

This way of thinking must be practiced on a daily basis - doing the mental shifting from what you see with your physical eyes to what your ideal desire and truth are. As you begin to see your ideal desire and truth in your inner vision and focus more on that, you'll begin to draw on inspired ideas and wisdom for your particular situation. 

There's always a solution to every problem we have, but we must enter into the silence, listen for the inner guidance of the Spirit and follow along into the truth to get the results we desire. Your answer rests in the heart of the Spirit. 

Action Thursday - On Becoming Your Own Life Master with Spirit Guidance - Action Steps

Mastery is developed in the silence and becomes evidence in our reality. So then, what action steps can we take to master our lives with Spirit Guidance? Let's look at some action steps now.

Habitual Entrance into the Silence

The more time you spend with someone the more you get to know them and the more influence they have on your life. Entering into the silence should be developed so it becomes a way of life for you. Take the time each day to get away from your busy schedule to spend quiet time in the silence with the Spirit to cleansed your inner sanctuary and rejuvenate your energy level. 

Listen for what the Spirit has to offer

As you sit in silence, listen. Go with the intention to hear what the Spirit has to say. Turn your inner ear within and listen to what the Spirit has to offer you each day. Give your attention to this. You may be surprised what you hear. At first it may sound like your own mind but you'd know that that thought didn't originate from you. Keep practicing and your inner ear will become fine tuned to the voice of the Spirit.

Become one with the Spirit

To become one with the Spirit you must connect with your inner being. It is important that your mind consciously desires to connect but you must also bring your feelings into this moment as well. Feel the movement of the Spirit within you. You may feel a sense of peace, joy, love, an inner burning like fire or even a spiritual awakening happening with you. Let your thoughts and attention remain in this place and absorb life from the Universal Spirit. This is where you become consciously aware of your oneness with God. 

Practice Walking with the Spirit 

As you go into your daily activities, continue to listen for the voice of the Spirit as you are guided throughout the day. You may be given instructions to do a particular task or the wisdom how to carry out your work more effectively or you may hear that your child has done something. Don't brush the information off. The more you listen and act on what you hear the more guidance you'll continue to get and the sharper your listening skills become to the voice within. 

Learn to ask for guidance as you go through your day and listen for the answer to return. Develop a rapport with the Spirit. 

Now it's your turn to become your own Life Master. Remember, the information must be put into practice in order for it to become a habitual way of life and reach mastery. 

On Becoming Your Own Life Master with Spirit Guidance - Part 3

Regular continual observances of your actions by your child and by you makes the image permanent in the brain, absorbed and stored by the subconscious and sent to the body cells by the brain which is turn causes the body parts to, i.e. the muscles, to act in accordance with the printed image.

Let’s look at how a child observes her mother. She observes everything I do. She first begins with observing my face, my eyes, my nose, my mouth, my smile and she listens to the sounds I’m making and observes the movement of my mouth in correlation to the sound. She’s fascinated. Regular continual observances are imprinted on her brain.

She decides to attempt the movement, you see small movements of the muscles as it is externally recognized as her attempt (her brain sending the message to her mouth) to formulate the smile. She gets better and better at it, by observing, until she actually forms a smile. She even learns to correlate the sound of laughter with the movement of her mouth. At first she is mimicking but soon she learns to smile on will when she finds something to be funny. She has now completed one level of mastery.

The same is true as you observe the Spirit. The images you see in your inner knowing, understanding and feeling are therefore imprinted on your mind and brain. You are now consciously aware that you are able to do the same as the Spirit has taught you. When you have mastered each level, you can create at will what you desire to manifest. Imaging causes it to become a part of your belief system which naturally manifests in your reality.

On Becoming Your Own Life Master with Spirit Guidance - Part 2

Judge not and you would not be judged. To judge something is to make or form an opinion of something whether right or wrong. When you judge someone or something, you open yourself to be judged by another based on the measure of your judgment. It comes back to you like the reflection or image from a mirror. Do as a child does, merely observe.

On becoming a master, you observe learn from the Spirit and act as the Spirit has taught you. A child’s first attempt to talk or even walk does not come out exactly as one who has been doing it for years, but you delight in your child’s attempt to try and to mimic you in the capacity that she or is able. The same is true of the Spirit. The Spirit delights in your attempt to mimic what you’ve learned in your capacity and encourages you forward to get better and master what you’ve been taught.

As you spend time in the silence and fine tune your listening to the daily internal guidance of the Spirit, you continue to watch the Spirit, observe, learn, and act on what the Spirit tells you. You will find that as you do this, mastery becomes the way of life for you just by your mere observing. The life of the Spirit becomes imprinted on your mind and the image of Spirit’s likeness takes form within your inner being.

The child observes and the images observed become imprinted on the child’s mind. Remember, the brain sees in pictures not words. So as the child focuses on the parents’ facial expressions, the picture is imprinted, not only on the mind and becomes a part of the subconscious memory, but this new message and picture imprinted on the brain is sent to the body to create the same image.

That’s the purpose of visualization, imaging. It’s the continual observing of a behaviour or an image, absorbing the details and movements and allowing the brain to make a mental copy of this behaviour or image. It becomes imprinted on the mind, like a rubber stamp.

Look out tomorrow for Part 3

On Becoming Your Own Life Master with Spirit Guidance - Part 1

In order for you to become a master, you must first follow the Master. You must learn his ways. You must become a student of mastery. It must be a way of life. Only the Master knows when the student is ready. So decide to be a master now. See yourself as a master. Act as a master until it penetrates your very being. Let it be your life. Put aside your past life and way of thinking to embrace a new mindset of being or living. As much as you are open and willing, the Master is willing to teach you enabling you to go to the next level of mastery as each level become complete.

There’s the basic level when you learn and set the foundations, then on the next level, you build on that foundation and keep building on the next until you come to the complete stage. When a house is completed, you are able to house the occupants. You become a shelter for others.

So, where do we begin?

The first step on the journey to mastery is listening. Jesus spent many hours away with God so he maintains connection to the Source. A master never ever separates himself from the Source. It is the way of life, the way of being. It is where his information, his knowledge is drawn from. It is there his wisdom is attained.

So, too, as you learn and master listening, making it your first priority, your way of life and your way of being, you will always have access to wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Know how to make the best decisions for your life and in every situation you encounter. You stay connected so that you are always filled with power as it continually flows through you. You know who you are and have a clear path to your purpose, what you’re about.

For example, as a child watches and observes a parent, he learns from the parent. He forms no opinion, he just watches, observes and learns and tries to do as the parent has demonstrated. The child does not know how to differentiate between whether or not if what the parent is doing is right or wrong. He merely watches and observes, absorbs the information and mimics the parent. That is Jesus’ statement when he says, “The kingdom of heaven belongs to little children. You must come as a child,” making no judgments on the matter. Just merely to watch, observe, accept by faith and do.

As you daily behold the ‘face of the Spirit’, spending time in silence until the image is so imprinted on your mind and heart, all else becomes dim. You know other things exist but they aren’t your center of attention.

Look out tomorrow for Part 2.

Saturday Tunespiration - Man in the Mirror

To change the world, each one of us must take responsibility for our own self-transformation. Change begins within us, that's true. And if we desire to see change in the world we must look into our own mirror and begin with the person that's look back at us. Whatever we do affects the whole. It creates a ripple effect affecting others as well. 

We cannot and should not expect the next person to change to accommodate our comfort while we choose to remain the same - our spouses, our children, our friends and family. We have a responsibility for our own change and in order to make this world a better place that change must start with you, with me. 

Today's tunespiration comes from Michael Jackson, 'Man in the Mirror'.

Getting My Body Back Friday - How to Create a Spiritual, Mental and Physical Action Plan for Successful Weight Loss

We are made up of spirit, mind and body. Because of this triune combination we must bring into operation all the levels of spirit, mind and body to aid the success of any plan.

Spirit

You are more than just your body. Knowing the role your body plays in the process of living will help you define yourself and see your life in a different light. Your body functions to physically express the thoughts and desires of your inner spirit. Identifying with your body as the all and end all of who you are only puts you in a place of limitation and distorts the true identity of your unlimited potential as a spirit being.

So what kind of spiritual plan can you create to aid your weight loss?

Shift your perspective from your physical body to your spiritual unlimited being. Your power lies in your connection with the Universal Source of Power and you draw your life sustenance, confidence, joy, love, peace and wisdom from your Source. Accepting, embracing and living this truth causes the false identity of low self esteem caused by being overweight to begin to lose its grip on you.

This begins to put you into a position of non-resistance (no more fighting/struggling within yourself) and more into acceptance of yourself which will make the process of weight loss more of a natural, instead of forced, process.

Spiritual plan - daily practice mental shifting from physical limited identity to spiritual unlimited potential. "I am an unlimited being. I am one with the Source of Power. I can overcome anything."

Mind

A mind that stops learning becomes dormant and loses its sharpness and alertness. Your imagination, the workshop of your mind must be kept in tip top shape to continue to engage in the vivid visualization creative process.

Visualize yourself daily at your ideal weight and size. Let your imagination explore the way you move at your ideal weight, the way that new outfit would fit at your ideal size and how contented you feel that you've finally reached your goal. Important of all, own the image.

You cannot be separate from your image mentally and expect it to be yours. You must own it; see you as the person at your ideal weight. Feel you as the person at your ideal weight. Believe in yourself as the person at your ideal weight. Exercise those mental muscles so they can continue to develop strength and become more vivid in the creative process.

Mental plan - Daily exercise your mind using and developing your imagination with vivid animation of your ideal weight and size. What do you look like? How do you feel?

Body

Once you've got the spirit and the mind working together in sync on your behalf, now comes the body. Your spirit, which has now been energized from the connection to the Universal Source, sends this energy wave to your mind in the form of thought waves. As you accept these thoughts and allow the imagination of your mind to go to work to create unique ways of exercise/activities/workout routine to follow, the weight begins to fall off. Start looking at your food differently making healthier food choices to nourish your body which in turn nourishes your mind.

Body plan - Daily engage in physical activity - whether it's brisk walking, jogging, weight training and/or a combination of these. Make sure you're having fun. Include some other fun activities as well - playing with the children, bike riding, playing tennis - get creative. 

See how they're all working together? The order is imperative because if you only focus on the physical weight loss without looking within yourself to align your spirit and mind, you'll feel like you're engaged in an uphill battle of the bulges. If you're identifying with your body only and dislike the way you look, you're working against yourself. These other intangible areas need to be dealt with in order to create the change you desire to achieve.

These steps will get you started. It's your turn to create your own. 

Whatever is troubling you today - please remember that you are strong enough to handle it. Hold on to your faith and know that God considers our challenges to be opportunities. You will find a way to be victorious over your circumstances. Stop flighting the tide and listen....Your answers are coming.Laura Lester Fournier http://amplify.com/u/cq2o

Action Thursday - Your Success Action Plan - 3 Steps from Cause to Results

Every action leads to a reaction and every cause has an effect. Every tree was once a seed which was sown in the right environment and given the chance to grow and bear fruit.

So it is with your success. It has a starting point like a seed, followed by the growth process and maturity period of fruit bearing which are your results. Let's look at the 3 steps from cause to results to create your success action plan.

Step #1 - Your thoughts - The Cause of Your Success

Your thoughts in relation to what you desire to achieve are your seeds. In choosing your seed you must know what type of harvest you want, hence the reason for choosing a definite goal and being completely clear on what results you want to manifest.

You must now put all your energy, will power and effort to back that thought to ensure your thought seed, your desire, your dream has the opportunity to grow to maturity. You are taking the idea out of your head into tangible form.  

Step #2 - The Nurturing Process

Create your action plan and keep the weeds of distractions out. When you daily reaffirm your decision to your success, the weed of procrastination will not be able to thrive and overtake your success growth. External obstacles may come but the most important ones you need to look out for are the ones that are created in your own mind, the sabotaging self talk that comes to negate your progress and the fears that keep you bound from moving ahead.

Just as a gardener observes the growth of his garden to ensure old roots don't spring up into his crop, so you must observe your own thoughts and emotions with the intent to eliminate the deep roots of negativity and past failures from hindering your present success.

Step #3 - Your Results

Put your plan into action. Be confident and believe that you will succeed no matter how long it takes and in spite of any delays or setbacks. Create new plans if you have to. Make adjustments to your current plan and activities, if you must, but keep pressing forward.

In our garden, not all our seeds germinated and when that happened we simply planted new seeds. May be your first thought seeds did not mature and bring the success you desire, but plant new thought seeds again and continue to nurture them. At harvest time not all of our vegetables came in but we kept trying and we keep learning and looking for new ways to improve our results.

Your life results are important for your continued enrichment. Getting involved with like-minded individuals can help you nurture and develop this mindset to create your success, help you to keep on track and encourage you if the road to your success becomes tough.

Success - 5 Mental and Physical Activities You Need to Engage in to Achieve Success

Achieving success comes as a result of engaging in certain mental and physical activity in order to invite its appearance. These 5 mental and physical activities are paramount to your success.

Activity #1 - Visualize your goal

See yourself experiencing your goal in spite of outward conditions. Outward conditions are the results of your dominating thoughts. Therefore, as you recreate your inner thoughts and ideals you'd need to give the outer conditions a chance to transform into form mirroring your inner world. Your imagination is a powerful tool. Use it to keep your mind focused on achieving success.

Activity #2 - Create a plan

You may not know all the details of how you're going to get to your final destination but you can begin with what you know. Ask a question for those areas that are blurred to you, those areas that you're not sure what steps to take. As you ask you are becoming clear on what information you need to take the next step. This clarity creates the path for wisdom to come to you whether it comes in the form of book, audio or from a friend.

Activity #3 - Keep out distractions

Let nothing distract you from your goal. Jumping to another opportunity because this one doesn't seem likes it working out will surely undermine your progress. If your eyes are wondering onto other things you will not achieve what you set out to do. Success is a growth process and you must be willing to allow the process to unfold each day and be committed to seeing it to the finish line.

Activity #4 - Be confident and believe

Be confident that you will get what you want and believe that you will as well. If you allow doubt to enter your mind it will sabotage your progress. "I will succeed. Success is mine. I know I will accomplish what I set out to do. All is working out on my behalf." These affirmations will continue to build inner strength and confidence as you move forward each day. They will give you that added energy and empower you from within to keep pressing onward and upward.

Activity #5 - Reaffirm your decision everyday

Nurture your dream daily. You must tend the garden of your dreams to ensure continued growth. Neglect will surely give way to weeds entering your life. Reaffirm your decision each day keeping a watchful eye to ensure your progress. Your initial decision to achieve your goal needs that daily reaffirmation to keep the fire of your decision alive and burning brightly. As you continually feel the heat of your desire it will propel you into daily action to secure your success.

Getting involved with like-minded individuals can help you nurture and develop this mindset to create the mental and physical activities even more, help you to keep on track and encourage you if the road to your success becomes tough.

Success - 5 Causes You Need to Effect Personal Success

Every effect came from a seed - the cause of your results. Similarly, your personal success comes out of the cause which is the seed that grows into and produces the effects you desire. Here are 5 causes you need to effect personal success.

Cause #1 - Choose a definite goal

You must be clear on what you want to achieve. A clear image of your goal gives you definite direction in which to point your 'sail' of activity. If you are unclear on what you want to manifest in your life how can you attract what is beneficial for you? You must focus in on what you want.

Cause #2 - Place all your energy on that goal

Remove the things in your life that are draining your energy and that are moving you away from the direction of your goal. Placing all your energy on reaching your goal gives vitality to that goal and begins to shape and mould your goal into form.

Cause #3 - Everything to back that goal

When you place all your will power and effort behind achieving your goal - your body, your mind, your spirit - you are summoning the energy of the universal power to operate on your behalf. The energy that's going out from you sends a definite message out to the universe and the mirrored image of your desire returns to you as you continue towards the finish line.

Cause #4 - Keep your eyes wide open

Be open to the opportunity that presents itself that will allow you to take even one step toward your goal. Sometimes opportunities come cloaked in adversity. Sometimes they come cloaked in any form other than what you initially expected. But keep your eyes wide open. Ask yourself this question, "Where is this offer going to take me. Is it a chance for me to get closer to my goal?" Allow the inner wisdom and peace of the Spirit to be your guide in your final decision to accept or not accept this opportunity.

Cause #5 - Be faithful
