Entrepreneur, Are You Unleashing Your Power To Create What You Truly Desire?

Posted on September 11, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

This question conjures up a whole new way of looking at entrepreneurship, doesn’t it?

It may inspire some of you to take a deep breath and then immediately get to work on making it happen, or re-doubling your current efforts to create the business of your dreams.

Others may ask, “What do I need to do to build up my power and ability to take the appropriate actions to make my desires come true.” For instance, you may re-focus on your vision and strategic plans (or create them if not yet done). You may look for weak areas to strengthen and make a checklist of what you need to prioritize or delegate.

Still others among you may be puzzled by the question, because you’re not focused on what you truly desire to bring forth. Instead, you’re busy creating what can put money in your pocket and food on the table. Maybe you are expressing your deepest desires in the form of a hobby, part-time or weekend activity.

And some of you just don’t believe you can create a successful business around what you truly love to do. Instead you work from a contingency plan mentality, preparing for worst case scenarios and rainy days.

Did You Choose Your Thoughts?
But whatever scenario describes your current thinking, there’s even a more fundamental aspect to consider. Who chose your predominant thoughts about your business? Did you? Or were these thoughts chosen for you? Did they come from your heart, or were you hedging your bets?

Don’t blame yourself, you’ve been conditioned from childhood. And, how can you be successful when you are surrounded by people who will pull you down or play devil’s advocate with your dreams? These people are most often not your enemies or competitors but those closest to you, friends and family.

Just about every entrepreneur has lived or currently lives under these restricting pressures. I call them the ‘doubt traps’. The trick is to look for the gems of truth and wisdom, while rejecting the fear-based advice.

Question is, can we think the thoughts WE want to think? And can we carry those thoughts and ideas through to a successful implementation? This means living our vision, without being bombarded or bamboozled by others who believe they have your best interests at heart.

What Is Your Belief Level?
When we can see no difference between our thoughts and the things we are creating, between our desires and the manifestation of our desires, then we have become successful entrepreneurs. In order to do that we need to raise our belief level so that we can even think the thoughts we want to think.

The mind must defer to heart consciousness to get its direction. And the heart thinks in pictures and symbols not mere words. This gives meaning, emotion and feelings to the thoughts. It makes them come alive in sights and sounds and adds the other senses for full expression and experience. Even the wise Solomon said, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Yantra Tools To Raise The Belief Level
Ancient masters like Pythagoras to modern psychologists like Carl Jung, understood the challenges of people sincerely wanting to change their lives for the better. So in deep contemplation and meditation they created inspired active graphical imagery called yantras to help their students and clients unlock old beliefs and unleash their power to vision and create from the deepest desires of their heart.

These Yantra tools for accessing inner wisdom and vision were used by kings, sages, business leaders and even the Founding Fathers of America. The concept has been around for 4500 years and used by leaders in battlefields and boardrooms. It is as relevant today as it was in ancient times.

Tulshi Sen, author of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World, has developed the Master Key For Success, the Sen Yantra System. It is an encapsulation of all the teachings of the Masters from all over the World and designed for the new challenges of the 21st century.

Part 3 – Raise Your Belief Level to Raise Your Life.

Entrepreneur, You Don’t Get What You Want In Life, You Get What You Are

Posted on September 1, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

All the great leaders and motivators agree with this fundamental truth. “You Don’t Get What You Want, You Get What You Are”, says Tulshi Sen, in the Master Key For Success. James Allen, in As a Man Thinketh, says, “Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”

Who You Are
Les Brown, in his interview with Armand Morin, subscribes to this same bold truth, “You don’t get what you want in life, you get what you are.” He explained how his unusual early childhood molded his heart and mind for the motivational writing and speaking he does around the world today.

Labeled as a child with EMR (eligibly mentally retarded) he was teased at school as the ‘dumb twin’ of his family. Fortunately, Les had an extraordinary mother, Mamie Brown, who at the age of 42 adopted 8 children, including the twins Les and Wesley. She saw the greatness in each of her children.

Les was also inspired by motivational masters, at an early age, while helping to clean the home office at his mother’s work as a domestic. There he was first exposed to the works of Normal Vincent Peale and Napoleon Hill, two giants in the field of motivational self-development.

Dream Bigger
Les asks his students to consider three things when setting their goals and dreams: what do they want to accomplish on a personal level, on a earning level and on a contribution level. He says that most people fail not because they aim too high but because they aim too low and hit it.

Only 2% of people, who feel that hunger or urge to do something, actually go to seminars. He reminded us of the great American philosopher, Henry David Thoreau’ s words, “Do not go where the path may lead on. Instead go where there is no path and leave a trail”.

Les reminds us, “When you have a vision of yourself, beyond your circumstances and mental conditioning, that is a blessing and don’t lose it.” Surround yourself with like-minded people who will challenge you to be your best. Everyone has greatness within themselves, and some may already be feeling it in their heart.

Take Action
When you do step out to experience new things, show up in the spirit of expectation. You have it in you to do something you’ve never done before, to die to your old self and give birth to who you can become.

Les asked us to memorize the words ‘Recessions Restore Resourcefulness’ . And he reminded us that the people who are making it in this time of ‘accelerating change, overwhelming complexity and tremendous competition’ (Peter Drucker’s words) are people who are resourceful.

Les says that most people get stuck because they don’t know what they have going for themselves. They don’t know how to make money with their God-Given gifts. And, they don’t know how to gain access to the people who will pay them for what they know.

Overcome Self-Imposed Obstacles
Ironically, in Les Brown’s own personal journey, the hardest thing for him to learn was to believe in himself, believe he could do what his heart was aching to do. He was longing to go out there and change people’s lives by teaching them how to be unstoppable. Yet he found reasons for not taking action, and in those stressful moments he, himself, became stoppable.

Fortunately he was constantly reminded by his mentor for fourteen years straight and a teacher (in executive development at the time) to not allow where he was at that moment to define who he was. He needed to be a ‘no matter what’ person to develop himself to be the message that he wanted to bring into the world.

This advice reminded him of who he really was and his desire to do something bigger with his life. It was always in him to reach beyond his current situation. As a school boy, Les, the child from ‘Special Ed’ class, won the contest from Norman Vincent Peale, who read it in his now famous speech, ‘You Have Greatness In You’.

“Shoot for the moon because even if you fail, you’ll land among the stars”. That was Les Brown’s quote. Imagine that!

Entrepreneur, Do You Believe You Will Have Whatever You Vision?

Posted on August 26, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

The successful ones carry their vision with them everywhere and at all times. Their vision has become a part of them. Great leaders made huge sacrifices to get to this level of success. They now embody their vision. Albeit, some do wear a few battle scars, as badges of honor, marking the challenges they faced and conquered along the way.

These entrepreneurs will tell you it was worth every pain and opposition, because it pushed them forward in the direction of their dreams. Problems became stepping stones to discover their true expression in a particular product, service or purpose, as the case may be.

Question is, are you fired up about your vision? Do you feel it in your bones? And, are you able to sustain your vision?

Are You Stuck?
Most people get tangled up at this stage. Many entrepreneurs do manage to set their vision and goals. Then almost immediately, powerful opposing forces set in to test them or slowly tear away at those dreams. It may take the form of well-meaning friends and family or the current economic environment. Even more dangerously, their own doubts and fears take over.

We need to continually ask ourselves, what are we visioning? If we find ourselves picturing that we can’t have our beloved vision for whatever reason, then we’ve lost our belief, haven’t we?

So how can we continually believe we will have whatever we vision?

All the masters and teachers of all ages say the same thing: that whatever you can vision and believe in, you will have.

Secret Of Success
The real secret is to raise our belief level to desire what we could only fantasize before …and previously hold as a vision for only a few seconds or two. We are, in effect, training ourselves to become more resilient. And when we become more resilient, we don’t need the level of security we thought we would. We are ready to step out there, beyond the fears that used to hold us back, and make our mark in the world.

Raising our belief level increases our happiness quotient, our self-love and resilience. What has love got to do with it, you may ask? Everything actually!

Low self-love breeds low self-esteem and we become afraid. As Tulshi Sen says, “You don’t get what you want, you get what you are.” Are we afraid that we are not good enough? Can we let ourselves imagine what our heart is longing to express and contribute in our world? Will we allow ourselves to experience the romance of self and extend that to our business and our life?

Our intention, to be all we can be, comes out of our consciousness and is the fire of our desires. It sparks our imagination to create the visions we want to manifest.

Imagination Is Your True Power
Now, our belief level reflects our capacity to imagine. It can either enhance the process or shut it down. When we feel romance, we lose all fear and believe we can be, do and have our heart’s desires. We create new visions out of our active imagery that has been unleashed. Our imagination is our true power, our only power. Even Einstein said that imagination is greater than knowledge.

For most people, the imagination has been locked up in a padlock and needs a Master Key to open it up again, and to keep you on track. The great philosophers and leaders throughout the ages successfully utilized graphical active imagery to keep their imaginations and resourcefulness intact during times of crisis and change.

This Master Key lives inside our heart and when unleashed lets us boldly go where we have never gone before.

Here is the replay of Tulshi Sen’s Tele-Seminar :

To The Online Entrepreneur, Process Is Everything

Posted on August 24, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

Tom Hua, Armand Morin’s second speaker interviewed for BigSeminar 13, understood early on the importance of process to the entrepreneur. He started marketing on the internet in 1994. Having left his off-line business world, and spending 17 months educating himself on the emerging internet. he had no money left to speak of.

His first product, a mere a $10 booklet brought him his initial success. He then moved on to create an ebook package filled with extra resources and bonuses. It turned out to be the first of its kind in the Internet Marketing industry. Tom kept focusing on adding increasing value with each subsequent product offering, each of which was designed to get massive back-links to his website.

Tom went on to build a unique website hosting company for small businesses that runs itself, without need for his direct involvement. This strategy of creating self-run businesses gives freedom to the entrepreneur to focus on what they really love, which is seeking out opportunities and creating new value in the marketplace.

This strategy of continual focus on process and getting things just right is what led to the multimillion dollar successes Tom enjoys today.

Seeing the trend for outsourcing only growing, Tom took a calculated risk and entered the software development business in China four years ago. He says that you have to be unafraid to invest money and resources to grow your business, even if it ends up failing. If you are enjoying the process, failure just becomes a learning opportunity for continuous improvement. His software business is now reaping its huge rewards in a growing marketplace.

Tom’s philosophy is: when you bring your internet business to the next level, you enter a new dimension of success because you enjoyed the process of creating it. Being in love with the process is key. And when you master your own unique process for success, you can take it anywhere to create more successes.

Tom loves to teach others how to get started on the internet and help them take their business to the next level. He says that you really have to understand the process. Having an in-demand product to sell, you create the website for it to meet its marketplace and bring a constant flow of traffic to it.

Mastering these three parts sets you up for success, no matter if you’re just starting out, or you are already building your business to new levels of success. You can always improve the process, and as an entrepreneur that’s where enjoyment is truly found.

Entrepreneur, Do You Know Your Master Key for Success?

Posted on August 18, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

Entrepreneurs today are inundated with claims by so many experts, each stating they have the key to your success. This has been especially endemic online. It could even be driving you crazy at times, eh?

What’s amazing is when we have discovered your real success is inner-generated and we are living from our own deepest desires, then you are able to experience challenges and opportunities in a completely different light.

Getting Stuck
Yet, there still may be those times when you just get stuck, even with the best of intentions. And you find it very hard to keep your focus on visioning and living in the success you so desire. You lose the feeling for it and get caught up in your old ideas and limitations. Success starts to slip away again, and stress quickly enters to fill the gap.

When you do pick yourself up, you wonder what all the fuss was about. Or you berate yourself for having fallen into those old mental pictures and ideas in the first place.

Does this sound familiar? The good news is you are not alone. As Tulshi Sen says, “Success cannot be bought or learnt… it must be practiced.

The Master Key
I found it really helps when I meditate on the success principles of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World to dissolve the old triggers. With practice, I am becoming better able to laugh it off, instead of using negative thinking to dissolve negative thinking. Two negatives do not make for a positive outlook, do they?

So how can you transcend the stressors of the day? Is there a ‘master key’ to free yourself from these de-energizers that are holding you back? If only you can remove your mind from sticking to your problems and instead free it to believe in the success you truly desire.

Tulshi Sen shares, “Before a person can achieve anything they must raise their thoughts and raise their belief level. You cannot fight against circumstances forever. It is tiring. You have to create new circumstances by raising your belief level.”

From personal experience I have found that is exactly true. It gets awfully tiring to continually swim upstream, against the current. Instead, by raising your thoughts and belief levels, you change the game and therefore enter a whole new level of consciousness. When this happens, success chases you down for a change. It all starts with your mindset.

Training The Mind
We have to convince our mind that we are going to be successful, no matter what our present circumstances are today. This journey of the entrepreneur is led by the heart, not the mind. The mind’s place is to follow the Vision set by the heart.

When we get it backwards, chaos, confusion and doubt take over. And there goes your success. Fear unleashed results in stressful, limited thinking.

And, you cannot convince the mind with the mind. That’s what caused this predicament in the first place. Nor can you trick the mind over the long term. You need to transcend the realm of the mind and enter your heart to anchor in your dreams and visions. Leave them there, where you can nurture them.

Imagination Rules
Einstein said that you can’t solve a problem at the same level of thinking as you created it in the first place. He also said that imagination was more important than knowledge.

Imagination lives in the all-knowing heart. So the first priority is to find out our heart’s desires. Then we can take our trained and helpful mind along on our unique entrepreneur’s journey.

Interview With Jay Conrad Levinson – The Father Of Guerrilla Marketing

Posted on August 16, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

Guerrilla Marketer - Jay Conrad Levinson Armand Morin interviewed one of the top marketers of both offline and online marketing. Fittingly it was with the Father of Guerrilla Marketing, Jay Conrad Levinson himself.

Jay has been to Armand Morin’s Big Seminar twice before, as a participant. What he learned there changed his own life for the better, by getting him properly outfitted with internet savvy and winning tools and weapons to help him stay abreast and maintain the highest quality lifestyle for himself and his family.

Here is my take on the interview.

Guerrilla Marketing For The Internet
Internet Marketing is the perfect Guerrilla Marketing environment. Unconventional guerrilla tactics combined with high customer valuing strategies are key to gaining conventional goals and sustaining your success online.

It boils down to positioning yourself to be different and then practicing those differences with a strong focus and high quality mindset. Innovative ideas are born and played out within a highly competitive environment. Entrepreneurs either don’t have the money or just refuse to go head-to-head with the other players, like traditional big business.

Instead, they change the game itself. Jay originally developed his guerrilla principles, teaching the ‘Berkley Kids’ of the 1970′s. These kids broke so many conventional wisdoms and went on the create the internet technology we enjoy today.

20 Major Differences Between Traditional and Guerrilla Marketing
In the interview, Jay compared 20 major differences between traditional and guerrilla marketing. If you understand these differences and embrace the guerrilla lifestyle, you de-mystify and simplify marketing once and for all. Most importantly, you will re-position and re-brand yourselves for success.

Here is my summary of these 20 major differences.

Why Every Internet Marketer Needs To Be Connected

Posted on August 10, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

There’s no question that the internet is the largest, most extensive human connector in the world at this time in history. It can, however, be the most isolating and largest separator of people and significant relationships. That’s because it is so easy to hide in front of a computer monitor and avoid deeply engaging with the outside world.

There exists a fundamental truth that you have to be connected to get connected and have connections. When you can take care of your being state, you allow the rest to emerge through an orderly process of growth. And how can you experience being and staying connected in your chosen markets? Your own Strategic Visioning process will help you clarify your success arena and consciously connect in-person with experts in your marketplace.

Start With A Powerful Intention

Ask yourself, what do you really want? What is your idea behind this connection? How will you benefit? How will these connections help you choose, understand, and conquer your marketing arena? How will you feel in this connection? See yourself enjoying the fruits of this connectedness.

Go Into Your Imagination

Feel the deep purpose of your intention. What will you be having and doing as you enjoy the fruits of your connection? Go beyond what is already familiar to you. Even Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge.

No limits are allowed here. This way you can free your mind from the clutches of familiarity and history. You need to train your mind that what you have imagined is reality. Then it will accept and allow you to imagine it. It’s a paradox.

Order Your Imagination Into A Vision

Organize it into a picture. Connect the imagination pieces together into a form. See it in great detail, with all your senses. Frame it. Live in it. Make it your reality. Focus on it fully. Hold on to it. And guard your thoughts with faith in your vision. Allow no distractions. Know it’s already yours.

This Creates The Power To Manifest Your Desires

You will start doing and having out of the power of your intention, imagination, Visioning and Manifesting process. Be prepared to be tested in your determination to succeed. Let your consciousness lead the way. Don’t give up. And don’t give in to overwhelm. The more aligned you are to your vision, the lighter and more capable you will become.
(ref: Tulshi Sen. “Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World”, p 143-157)

Consciously Connect

Get the best and latest information on how to communicate with and market to your prospects and customers. The fastest, most accurate and effective way to do this is to learn from the top marketers who have already succeeded in your arena.

There are so many ways to do this online: live online interactive courses (teleseminars and webinars) and replays, home study programs, blogs, forums and social media, etc.

If you intend to succeed in a big way on the internet, nothing beats in-person learning, networking and socializing. There is a special dynamic that takes over. It eclipses other types of learning and accelerates your success process significantly. It works even better if your intention and vision are clear before you attend.

The Power of Live Events

At the best events, you are effectively immersed with like-minded people. You form relationships and future partnerships that otherwise would not have been possible. And you benefit from the power of sharing and problem-solving together.

Getting to know top marketers in person is always less intimidating than experiencing them on screen or in writing. The feeling of sharing in the seminars, at meals and breaks, and the fun and laughter that ensue, transforms their perceived personas into a shared friendliness. You’ll find yourself getting into the groove of the atmosphere and may even come up with a few insightful gems of your own.

I know this, because I have traveled to powerful marketing gatherings. After just a few days of live meetings and training, I found myself buzzing with new inspirations for weeks and implementing new winning strategies.

When you allow yourself to be around great marketers and mentors, your own ideas will start to percolate and take form. Fellow participants around you, almost always, will affirm them, because you brought out a unique perspective they had not thought about beforehand and you ended up brainstorming right there on the spot. So go ahead and treat your being to a live event.

Entrepreneur Mastery Through Tulshi Sen’s “Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World” – Part 2

Posted on July 26, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

Everything we have or have not created for our business is fundamentally the result of our thinking. This includes our successes and failures. There are no exceptions.

Now that may be a hard truth to swallow, especially with today’s global economic forces and challenges. (In reality these dynamic forces, too, are the result of collective group thinking, but that’s the subject for another discussion).

Our thinking mindset brings us everything: the good, the bad and the ugly. But if that’s all there is to it, then you could say, “No problem, I’ll just focus on the good stuff, right?” Well, that depends on where you are placing your attention and how strong you are in your true being.

Relying On Circumstances
For instance, some of you may take the attitude of making do with what you already have. Or, you try to think of ways to get out of a certain situation you find yourself in by manipulating, trading off or economizing what you already have for what you think is necessary. Or, you may just resign yourself to making the best of a bad situation.

This type of thinking is constructive at best and lacks imagination. Tulshi Sen calls it ‘worm thinking’. It is thinking inside the box, where your circumstances dictate your thinking.

Einstein tells us that we cannot solve a problem at the same level that we created it. Solutions require that you step outside of your current situation to allow your imagination to bring you new ideas and approaches.

Lack Of Focus
This next type of thinking is endemic today, especially to information marketers. There’s so much to learn and absorb that it’s impossible to keep up with the flood of information and you suck in everything that comes at you. It become hard to differentiate the good stuff from the regurgitated mis-information, especially when you are a new online entrepreneur.

Your world becomes chaotic and you quickly lose focus. You get too busy and frantic to see what you originally desired to create for your business. You get caught up in the minutia and cannot see the forest for the trees. Stress sets in and you’ve lost the joy of entrepreneurship. This has been a too familiar scenario for me.

Tulshi Sen calls this ‘fly thinking’, where you flit from positive to negative and negative to positive and ultimately get nowhere. You go from one crisis to another and become exhausted and depleted.

Entrepreneur Mastery
The third type of thinking lifts you completely out of the first two ways of thinking and sets you on the path to complete mastery of your own thoughts. You powerfully focus solely on your Vision. You learn to quickly discern what belongs in your business or not, and you let go of everything else.

Tulshi Sen calls this ‘bee thinking’, where the bee thinks of nothing else but producing the honey. When you build your thought character like a bee, you become wealthy in the nectar of life.

Now the expression “busy like a bee” takes on a whole new meaning. You create your own abundance in the nectar of busy-ness (i.e. business). Life become blissful. And you enjoy its riches.

Tulshi Sen, a Master of success thinking and author of Ancient Secrets of Success For Today’s World, shows us how we can take control of our thinking. Through the Four Proclamations of your own truth, you’ll learn to think the thoughts you want to think, and not the thoughts you don’t want to think.

Entrepreneur Mastery Through Tulshi Sen’s “Ancient Secrets of Success For Today’s World”

Posted on June 30, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

What makes some people solution magnets while others struggle in their problems more often than not? Notice how some entrepreneurs take particular challenges in stride, while others tend to shut down and feed on their misery for a while.

Productivity Killers
Let’s take a familiar example. You run into a Technical glitch and just lose it in the moment. You feel stopped in your tracks as you are trying to accomplish a time-based goal. Maybe you are just feeling exhausted and secretly feel the need to rant about something.

Or maybe, you were triggered by an unfortunate external event that conjured up certain uncomfortable feelings inside that you were afraid to explore before. So you reacted unusually strongly to the issue. In today’s environment, there’s certainly no lack of rants to pick up on.

Have you noticed how people can get buried by their environment and get stuck into a certain kind of thinking groove? When that happens, they don’t easily tolerate suggestions from others. And they always seem to find something to be unhappy about. Bad news becomes a feeding frenzy and they get caught up in its perpetual spin.

Does This Sound Familiar?
For instance, you may recall how you allowed a feeling of disgust percolate inside you about something you heard about in the news. And you became glued to the 24/7 broadcasts, even though you knew it would upset your well-being. When challenged about this insidious kind of addictive behavior, maybe you got defensive about justifying yourself, or became overly aggressive with the person who noticed.

I’ve observed that even reasonable people, myself included, find themselves in these kinds of conundrums from time to time. And we may fret over trying to avoid a certain situation or decide to fight through it. Either way we get completely bound to it, and the negative mindset seals us helplessly and deeply inside of our own mind.

Most importantly, this kind of reaction is not healthy or productive in any way for the success seeking entrepreneur. And, especially for those pesky technical problems, the solutions are most often simple and self-evident, once realized (although it’s hard to believe this when you are stuck in the middle of it). Once you know better, you can laugh off the insanity of the drama you just put yourself through. Sound familiar?

How To Control Your Own Mind
But how do you prevent the next scene from playing out and destroying your productivity once again? To do this we need to learn how to master our thinking. Stopping unwanted thoughts from entering our mind is the key to success in business and in life. This is true regardless of the particular business path we take, or the consulting help we may seek.

Nobody else can do this fundamental work for us. We need to dive in and do the deep contemplative work of mastering our own mind. The true entrepreneur conquers his environment by taking this quest deep within his own being.

Enjoy this brief Audiocast on “How To Stop Unwanted Thoughts - Part 1″ from Tulshi Sen. The brilliant metaphors alone are unforgettable!

Entrepreneur Success Secrets – Wants Vs Desires

Posted on April 18, 2009 by Aditi Walsh

Entrepreneur Success Secrets – Wants Vs Desires People often interchange the terms ‘wants vs desires’. So, this query is very subtle. Our mind may even purposely dismiss its inherent nuances. Yet our answer will reveal how we live our life and work on our business.

WARNING: When you dig down deep enough, your mind may get very agitated and force you to abandon the question. Hopefully, you will be intrigued enough to probe further.

Why is it important to know the difference between wants and desires?

Because herein lies the key to creating and sustaining a successful life. Some entrepreneurs prefer satisfying their wants and see desires as frivolous or at best, fantasies. Others may say that both are important and it really depends on the particular situation. Still others may already be living in the Consciousness of their Vision while going about their day to day activities.

Fair enough. To answer this question we have to know – what is a want? Tulshi Sen, author of Ancient Secrets Of Success For Today’s World says that a want comes out of some kind of lack, and is often driven by fear or pain. This can lead us to take courage, create a powerful strategic focus or wallow in anxiety and self-doubt. A desire on the other hand, is a promise already living in our heart and is driven by the innate motivation to complete that desire. So, let’s ask the deeper question.

What is our motivation behind what we do? Why did we get up this morning – to put food on the table and have extra money in the bank for those special luxuries for ourself and our dear ones? Or is it to pay off our debts and try to get ahead of the game? Or, maybe we want to make so much money that we can retire early to pursue that favorite hobby or travel the world. It may be to do what we love while giving back to others.

Why do you desire success?

We must seek the answer. Be especially true to ourselves here. Let’s take a few moments to go inside to get our own answer. If other questions arise, that’s good. We just keep probing till our answer rings true for us. The more we write down our answers, the more clearly we’ll understand our own motivations and the more powerful we will become. It will make us less dependent on outside conditions for our success. Now, what was hidden can be revealed.

This work is unique to each of us. No one else can do it for us. Our own mind will try to take over the job of our Consciousness and make us forget who we are. Beyond that there are whole industries, so-called experts and substances waiting to direct our mind to avoid pain or gain some measure of pleasure or wealth. So we must be wary of those distractors, as well.

I say this because in the past I did allow others undue influence in my life. I became overly dependent on their advice and so-called energetic knowingness. One day I had a rude awakening and it made be realize in no uncertain terms that nobody can break into the sacred territory of my Consciousness unless I allowed them in. It was a great lesson in self-discovery. I also learned that there are no shortcuts to truly knowing yourself. The good, the bad and even the ugly experiences will bring you back into your own Being if you are willing to learn from them.

The best teachers inspire at the level of principles.

They never tell you specifically what you should do with your life. They know that inner breakthroughs must be self-discovered and not prescribed by themselves or others. Ultimately, only you can tap into your infinite Self to realize who you really are and what you want to become in this Universe of infinite possibilities.

REMEMBER THIS: the untrained mind loves to be flattered, appeased and directed. It always rules out of fear and anxiety, unless it is put back in it’s place by our Consciousness. Once that happens, our mind is set free to explore and help us attain success beyond its wildest imaginings.

So the real work is to develop the mental muscles to overcome the fears and denials of the mind and its conspirators and place trust where it belongs, in our own heart. Now we can allow our deepest desires to bring the success we long for and deserve. At the same time, we will confidently allow others into our life to help us along the way.
