			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“It seems to me that any full grown, mature adult would have a desire to be responsible, to help where he can in a world that needs so very much, that threatens us so very much.”</strong> ~Norman Lear</p>
<p>Everyone wants to be happy. Helping others is one way to make happiness a part of one&#8217;s life.</p>
<p><strong>Happiness in Life &#8211; How to Help Others Find Happiness </strong>By Jason Osborn</p>
<p>t seems like everyone is concerned with their own happiness that one of the major keys to actually finding happiness gets overlooked. If you want to have happiness in your own life then it is important to help others find it as well. It&#8217;s amazing how much happiness you bring to yourself when you help bring it to others. Here are 3 keys to helping other people find happiness.</p>
<p>1. Inspire and motivate.</p>
<p>You know how good it feels when someone inspires and motivates you to be all that you can be in your life. This is one of the easiest things you can do for someone to help them find happiness in their life. Find ways to inspire and motivate people. Sometimes all it takes is a pat on the back and telling them that you believe in them.</p>
<p>2. Give freely of yourself.</p>
<p>Sometimes this is a hard thing to do but find ways that you can give of yourself. One of the easiest ways to so this is to join or participate in an organization of some kind. These are great because you don&#8217;t have to try to figure out how to give of yourself. All you do is show up and do what is needed. You never know what happiness you will bring to someone by just volunteering one hour or more a month of your time.</p>
<p>3. Be a living example of how it&#8217;s done.</p>
<p>The best way to help someone find happiness is to live a life full of happiness yourself. By doing so you will automatically show people that it is possible to live a life full of happiness. Not only that but you will be a living inspiration to countless people. Plus, since you know how to do it, you will have a much easier time teaching others how to succeed in living a happy life as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“I am only one, but I am one.  I cannot do everything, but I can do something.  And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”</strong> ~Edward Everett Hale</p>
<p>For personal development one should strive to be the best you can be. Here are some thoughts on why helping others is good for personal development.</p>
<p><strong>Personal Development &#8211; Why Helping Others Is The Best Way To Help Yourself</strong> By Gabriel J. Adams</p>
<p>In this day and age, when everyone seems to be fighting tooth and nail for everything, it is difficult enough to get what you want and need, let alone think about anyone else. However, it may surprise you to know that helping people is actually the easiest way to get what you want, and that it takes a lot less time and effort than one might imagine. The most difficult thing for people to understand is that when you help someone, you actually gain the most out of the experience, and that one should be grateful that they are in a position to be able to help others, rather than one in which they are in need of help.</p>
<p>If one can take a moment to think about the last statement. A Chinese proverb goes something like this: &#8220;A giver is more fortunate than a receiver&#8221;. It is perfectly logical, because someone who is able to give must be in surplus, while someone who is in need of help is lacking something. Therefore, not only is it a way of restoring balance in the world, often one tends to find that by giving out positive energy and channeling it into your actions, you will receive the same thing in return.</p>
<p>This is not to say that we should do something to feel good or to receive something else in return, but that when you associate your actions with positive attitudes (or think positive thoughts and act on them), you will nurture a positive mental state. For example, getting involved in volunteering work helps one to appreciate their own life much more by learning about the difficulties other people have to overcome. Helping someone with an assignment or homework develops your teaching skills, and also reinforces your own understanding and knowledge about something. Helping a friend with renovations might give you a hint or two about the best place to buy certain goods.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever helped someone, and realized what an enjoyable experience it was, then you&#8217;ll understand what I mean. If you feel like you&#8217;re always giving and not receiving, then it&#8217;s because you&#8217;re either expecting too much from helping people (which should not be your motivation) or that you&#8217;ve got pretty much everything you need (which you should be grateful for). The only thing you can&#8217;t get by helping people is selfishness, so if you&#8217;ve got too much of that, then you should start helping yourself get rid of some excess by helping others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“Being good is commendable, but only when it is combined with doing good is it useful.”</strong> ~Author Unknown</p>
<p>When applying the Law of Attraction helping others will certainly help, but only if the motivation is pure. Here are some thoughts on that subject.</p>
<p><strong>The Truth About Helping Others with the Law of Attraction</strong> By Beth Mccain</p>
<p>You might think that by helping others, it is helping you demonstrate how to apply the Law of Attraction through compassion and gratitude. This could be true (or not) depending on how you help others when you are intentionally applying the Law of Attraction.</p>
<p>The question is really: Why do you help others? Many people don&#8217;t give for the sake of giving. They sometimes have agendas attached to the &#8216;help&#8217; and the giving. Agendas may include wanting to convince someone else that you are a &#8216;good&#8217; person, giving so it will bring your LOA manifestation quicker through compassion and gratitude (this one&#8217;s the Hey Universe, look at me! ploy. The Universe is smarter than that!), showing another person that you are better than they are by giving, maybe you&#8217;re ashamed that you have money and give and help out of a sense of &#8216;money guilt&#8217;, and the list doesn&#8217;t stop here.</p>
<p>It is always wonderful to help and give to your fellow man; you don&#8217;t have to have a reason to do it. But the Universe knows the true reason you give and will return to you what and why you give through your feelings. You see, you can&#8217;t hide the true reason because it is your feelings that speak to the Universe, and you can&#8217;t hide your feelings. In effect, we &#8216;tell on ourselves&#8217; to the Universe, and this is part of the Universal truth. And it is a good thing!</p>
<p>If you are giving out of ego, you will receive the same. If you are giving from shame, be prepared for more shaming experiences.</p>
<p>How you give is important, with or without the Law of Attraction. But we guarantee that no matter how you give, the Universe has your number and you will soon receive what you have given out with the intention you included with the help you gave.</p>
<p>Give for the sake of giving. Give from a caring and loving heart. Give minus the ego and the inflation of the physical self. If you give and you say to yourself, I&#8217;m so good. I helped and gave to another human being. Get a load of me! You are giving from the space of ego.</p>
<p>When you give of your time or your money with a caring and compassionate heart, you will be rewarded with care and compassion in your own life.</p>
<p>There is only one way to help another person and that is with an open heart and a feeling of joy because you are helping someone who needs help. The person you are helping is also you, if you think about it, because you are always a reflection of your inner thoughts.</p>
<p>Go out and do a wonderful deed for the sake of doing a wonderful deed and not because you expect anything in return (except for a smile and a thank you). And how you help will determine if you get a smile and a thank you back from the Universe.</p>
<p>Beth and Lee McCain are full time instructors and lecturers in applying the Law of Attraction, or better known as the Secret, in your life to attain whatever you desire. They have a great radio show on YouTube that is both entertaining as well as informative on the subject of the Law of Attraction.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.  It&#8217;s not.”</strong> ~Dr. Seuss</p>
<p>Today I present the thoughts of another on the subject of giving.</p>
<p><strong>How You Can Feel Good Simply by Helping Others</strong> By Ronnie Nijmeh</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very easy to get caught up in our own to-do lists and never-ending activities, but one of the best things you can do is to help other people. This forces you to step outside yourself and see the world through another person&#8217;s eyes. Why is this important? When you help others you have the opportunity to learn new things, and you also have a chance to see just how see how blessed you are for everything in your life, even the not so good things.</p>
<p>By using positive affirmations, you can find the motivation to help others on a regular basis and experience that special feeling of fulfillment. When you are able to genuinely give a helping hand, it will be a very fulfilling experience. If you feel like you are too busy or that no one in your life needs your help, sorry to say it, but you&#8217;re clearly mistaken!</p>
<p><strong>Give a Helping Hand and Feel Good About Yourself</strong></p>
<p>We all have busy lives, but if we stopped and helped others a little more often, we would live a much more fulfilling life and build that sense of community that we have long lost.</p>
<p>Think about how many times you have driven by your neighbors house where the trashcans are still laying out after trash day, why not give your neighbor a helping hand? Wouldn&#8217;t you like that in return?</p>
<p>Or, consider things closer to home such as helping your spouse iron their clothes for work or helping out with other chores around the house. You have opportunities in your every day life to help people and feel good about yourself and positive affirmations can remind you of this.</p>
<p>Relationship affirmations are simply statements that summarize the type of behavior that you would like to exhibit. A simple affirmation in this circumstance may be, &#8220;A helpful friend is an indispensable and fulfilled friend. I am that person!&#8221; Sounds simple, right? It is! If you repeat the affirmations several times a day you will make it a reality in your thoughts and actions. Who doesn&#8217;t want to be considered indispensable and fulfilled?</p>
<p>Positive affirmations are easy to start using and they will cost you absolutely nothing. Free positive affirmations are widely available, including in the resource box at the end of this article. You can also make your own affirmations, so long as they are positive and in the present tense.</p>
<p>When you believe in affirmations you are giving yourself permission and the power to change your life. Instead of simply standing by and watching those in your life struggle with something, you can cut their burden in half and chip in and help get things done. After all, what good are your skills and talents if you hoard them all to yourself!</p>
<p>Helping doesn&#8217;t even mean that you have to go out of your way; it just means that when you have those opportunities that you seize them and make someone&#8217;s life easier.</p>
<p>We all pass up opportunities to help other people each day. How many times have you seen someone drop something and you just keep going? Or what about the person who is lost and unsure of directions? These are simple situations where you could help out and if you are missing that fulfillment in your life, you can begin by creating a positive state of mind through affirmations.</p>
<p>Through positive affirmations you can develop better relationships with the people around you and you&#8217;ll also feel fulfilled in a way that you may have never been before. Free positive affirmations give you the opportunity to enrich your life in new ways every day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.”</strong> ~Mother Teresa</p>
<p>This week I will devote to our service, our service to others and the Universe. As we look around us we see people who are only interested in their own well-being. People who have hardened their hearts and live with narrow minds. They think only of themselves.</p>
<p>We are all connected to one another. What happens to one affects all. This has been called the, &#8220;butterfly effect.&#8221; Another law that come into play is the law of Karma or what you give out you get.</p>
<p>People who think only of themselves live lives filled with negativity, such as personal problems, sickness, and conflict. This in because by living within themselves they cut off the Universal flow.</p>
<p>In order to live in harmony with the flow from source you must live with compassion and empathy. This means that you are aware of people who are less fortunate than you and give of yourself when the opportunity arises.</p>
<p>Sharing your good fortune with others, no matter how little that is, results in more connection with source energy and improvement of your life. There is joy in helping others. If you have not felt that joy, open your heart and mind to life because you are missing one of the greatest feeling you can experience.</p>
<p>Service is a way of showing gratitude. All religions talk of being grateful but the Koran says it best. It says, &#8220;If you come to me with a grateful heart, I will give you more.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is said that when we give it comes back to us 10 fold. This follows the theory of energy. Energy flows in a circle and each time the circle is completed the energy grows.</p>
<p>This is true of good and bad. The Universe wants to be accommodating. It wants you to have what you want. So when you send out negative energy, the Universe thinks that you want negativity and sends more to you.</p>
<p>I am sure you have noticed that people who complain always have something to complain about, while those who are always upbeat seem to lead charmed lives.</p>
<p>If you go to church you are told that you should give 10% of your income to the church and you will be blessed. I believe that tithing is a good idea, although I do not believe it should necessarily go to the church.</p>
<p>One should support their church, but one should be aware of how much the church needs. If your church is small or new it may need lots of help. But, if you belong to one of the mega churches it doesn&#8217;t need as much help.</p>
<p>Those who are less fortunate than you are in need perhaps more than your church. Also, it is good to remember that being of service does not always mean giving money. Giving of your time is also effective.</p>
<p><strong>TODAY&#8217;S TIP: </strong>At least once a year go through your closets and take the clothes that you have not worn in over a year to a homeless shelter or give them to an organization that helps the less fortunate.</p>
<p>When was the last time you helped someone else?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.&#8221;</strong> ~ Peter Marshall</p>
<p>Many of us have a habit of putting things off. Here are some thoughts on, do it now.</p>
<p><strong>How to Create an Action Plan For Now-Or-Never Confidence</strong> By Dee Brady</p>
<p>Do you have a wish list of things you would like to do, places you would like to visit and even the type of person you&#8217;d like to be? Have you thought of actually writing these down? Seeing your wishes on paper can be very motivating but also daunting. Your list of wishes could include doing a parachute jump, holidaying in the Bahamas, being confident and self assured. Once you start you might not be able to stop. It can be a very cathartic process. But in the back of your mind do you tell yourself these are just wishes?</p>
<p>Well most people don&#8217;t just get all their dreams handed to them on a plate. They get them by taking steps towards them every day. They take actions to move them towards their dreams and goals. People who get what they want often take a long term view of life. They know that they must take every achievement no matter how small or how grand and learn from it. They will build upon these achievements and move closer to their goals &#8211; undaunted.</p>
<p>So, how do you do it? How do you turn your wishes into reality? You make a start and look at your wishes. You have to transform your wishes into goals. Don&#8217;t panic if you&#8217;ve set yourself giant daunting goals. Chunk them down into manageable chunks. If one of your goals is to overcome shyness and be more self assured. Give yourself small goals every day: smile at someone you like; say hello to a stranger; join an evening class.</p>
<p>Goals are wishes with timetables for completion. Look at all your wishes and separate them into short term, medium term and long term goals. When you&#8217;ve done that allocate specific dates to each goal. This will give you a plan for your life. Take action daily towards your goals and make regular appointments with yourself &#8211; just like a business appointment &#8211; and review your progress. Remember build on every achievement. But most importantly start now and do something every day to get closer to your dreams.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don&#8217;t count.&#8221; &#8211; Dr. Robert Anthony Educator</em></p>
<p>Imagine that you are in your eighties looking back on your life and wishing you had taken action on your dreams. Imagine what it would feel like, shut your eyes and really feel it. What if years and years ago you had written down your wishes &#8211; you wanted to be confident, to meet people, you wanted to travel and see The Pyramids, Ayres Rock, the Great Wall of China and the Grand  Canyon. How would you feel? Would you regret that you could have experienced more, had more friends and lived a fuller more enriched life? Would you have wished that you had made a plan with steps that would have led to you reaching your goal? If you are really feeling this, you will feel devastated that your life has passed you by. Don&#8217;t get to the end of your life and wish you&#8217;d taken action. You can make a change NOW. You can start to change your life NOW. Write your wishes down, chunk them down into manageable goals, set yourself deadlines, work towards them every day.</p>
<p>Be one of the people that DOES things, don&#8217;t put them off, become an achiever, little by little, little steps or big steps so long as you are moving you are going along the right road. Don&#8217;t just dream it. Be who you want to be. Live the life you want.</p>

<p><strong>TODAY&#8217;S TIP: </strong>Don&#8217;t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Tomorrow never comes.</p>
<p>Are you ready to do it now?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;He who has begun is half done.&#8221;</strong> ~ Horace</p>
<p>Today I present an informative article on goal setting and plan of actions. It is a little longer than usual but well worth the read.</p>
<p><strong>Goal-Setting &#8211; How to Make an Action Plan</strong> By Dehlia Buckley</p>
<p>So you decided to start something new, be it losing weight, quitting smoking, or going back to college. Each of these tasks is daunting at first glance, but the right goal setting techniques will help you to accomplish any tasks almost easily. Anyone can dream, but it becomes a goal when written down.</p>
<p><strong>Sit Down and Think</strong></p>
<p>All you need to start is something to write on (a piece of paper or computer) and something to write with (a pen, or your keyboard). Sit in a comfortable spot with minimal distractions, and allow your mind to truly think about your goal.</p>
<p>Some questions to ask about your goal:</p>
<ul>
<li>What do you need to do to      realize this dream?</li>
<li>Are there set steps or      processes? Or do you have to figure it out yourself? How will you find      this information out? Eg: search online or call an information phone      number.</li>
<li>What do you need before you      can start this goal? Eg: money, more time, fresh veggies, smoking      cessation products, college pamphlets and applications.</li>
<li>How did other people get to      this goal? Can you follow in their footsteps?</li>
<li>Is there anyone who can be a      mentor during this journey? What advice do they have for you?</li>
</ul>
<p>Write down any ideas, questions, and thoughts you have during this brain-storming session. The first step is seeing what kinds of information you need to continue. If you are at a computer you can start researching these questions. Find out how to start, what you&#8217;ll need, and what to do next.</p>
<p>The most helpful question to ask is, where do you see yourself in 3 months? 6 months? One year? Imagining yourself at your goal is proven to help your brain to begin processing actually doing that goal, and it provides instant gratification. Imagining your goals being met in the future gives your brain yummy mental candy to chew on and triggers the dopamine receptors responsible for the pleasure center of the brain. This question also forces you to gauge your current status. How are you doing right now? Are you actively pursuing your goals? If not, you can see what social, mental, and environmental factors contribute to hindering your progress and begin to make changes to get the ball rolling.</p>
<p><strong>Gather Information and Begin to Plan</strong></p>
<p>After you finish writing down what you&#8217;ll need to know, it&#8217;s time to head to the library or your laptop. Search engines will be crucial for efficiently researching your goal. A simple trick is to write &#8220;How to [apply for college, lose weight, etc.]&#8230;&#8221; in quotation marks in the search box and see what kinds of information turns up. If you have a specific product in mind, say for losing weight or for quitting smoking, find the website or the phone number and ask for information or prices.</p>
<p>Magazines available at the library for free can offer quick, reader-friendly information and almost every issue in any niche has articles especially for beginners just starting out and has fresh, new advice that you won&#8217;t find in older books. However, for the most information in one place, books on your general area will be invaluable.</p>
<p>If you have $10-20 to spend you can find a great book for beginners on your topic at a bookstore or Amazon; make sure you thoroughly read the reviews or skim through the book to make sure it will be a smart buy, but a recent book published within the last few years is your best bet. Beginner books series specializes on introducing new topics for beginners and have step by step plans and advice. If you are totally lost on how to start realizing your goal, find a book specially targeted for beginners.</p>
<p>If you need a support group, search for forums where people interested in similar goals and hobbies join to talk in one place. These forums, such as the Weight Watchers forums, are a great way to find people who are farther along in their journey and can offer guidance, advice, and help for people just like you starting out. There are also hotlines you can call for anonymous counseling on quitting smoking or finding professional help for substance and alcohol abuse.</p>
<p>When researching, keep a pad of paper near your workspace so you can take notes. This information will be used to help you flesh out your plan later. Depending on the goal, researching can take 1-2 hours so set aside a few blocks of time during the week if you have a tight deadline to search online or visit the library. If you have decided to purchase a book, you can highlight key points and write down the steps they outline.</p>
<p><strong>Break Up your List into Manageable Daily, Weekly and Monthly Tasks</strong></p>
<p>The hard part is finally over. It can be overwhelming to dive into a new topic headfirst, but now you are armed with vital information that will prove invaluable for you later on as you hit roadblocks or self doubt. Take your research notes and skim over the information that you found. Is there a clear-cut plan emerging? Begin to write down everything that you have to do for you goal. If a task is too large, break it up into monthly, weekly, or daily tasks. For example, to lose weight one of the things you need to do is eat better. This topic is too large, so it can be broken down into:</p>
<p>· Drink 64 ounces of water daily<br />
· Cook own dinner 4-5 times per week<br />
· Try a new fruit or vegetable a few times per month</p>
<p>Keep doing this for every task until you begin to see every small thing you need to do for your goal. Now you have a plan! If you haven&#8217;t already, organize these into daily tasks, weekly tasks, and monthly tasks. Take a look at your list, and start the first daily task immediately. Is your first task to quit smoking to throw out your remaining cigarettes? Head over to that garbage can. Congratulations, you just set an action plan with your goals. Make sure you read over your task list everyday and to visualize your goals so that you always know where you&#8217;re headed. If you&#8217;re not moving forward, where are you going?</p>

<p>It has been said that action is the missing piece of the Law of Attraction. Here are some thoughts about an action plan for the Law.</p>
<p><strong>Law of Attraction Action Plan &#8211; Eight Steps For Abundance</strong> By Kiko Erel</p>
<p>Finding the right law of attraction action plan that suites you best, is a very important step in the process of creating your abundant and free flowing life.</p>
<p>Many people watch movies explaining what the law of attraction is but that does not explain how to use the processes that help you really make use of this strong power.</p>
<p>Here is an easy to use four week law of attraction action plan you can use to help you get closer to the power of your thoughts.</p>
<p><strong>Law of attraction action plan:</strong></p>
<p>For best results I advise practicing the processes written, every day.</p>
<p><strong>Week one:</strong></p>
<p>Step one: Make a list of all the things that are bothering you in your life. To understand what you really want, you must know where you are right now.</p>
<p>Step two: Once you finish your list, write down besides every negative subject, its opposite positive aspect. This will give you a good list to come back to for a reminder of what you actually want in life.</p>
<p><strong>Week two:</strong></p>
<p>- Choose one subject that you most want to work on these coming three weeks</p>
<p>Step three: Clear out half an hour every day for practice purposes. Sit is a quite room where you will not be disturbed</p>
<p>Step four: Sit for 10 minutes and just listen to music or meditate, whatever makes you feel more relaxed.</p>
<p>Step five: Start visualizing how it feels to have already achieved what you wrote down. Focus especially on how it feels to already have it. Emotional connection enhance attraction immensely.</p>
<p>Repeat this process every day for at least three weeks.</p>
<p><strong>Week three:</strong></p>
<p>Continue using the processes written in previous weeks.</p>
<p>Step six: Every night as you enter your bed, lie down for about ten minutes and think intentionally about things that make you feel good. Then, focus on how good you are going to sleep and imagine yourself waking up vibrant and energetic in the morning.</p>
<p>Step seven: Every morning when you wake up, before you leave your bed, lie down for ten minutes and look for things that make you feel good.</p>
<p>At first when you do this, it might feel a bit weird, But you will start observing change on mornings when you wake up more positive after using this process.</p>
<p><strong>Week four:</strong></p>
<p>Continue using the processes previously written.</p>
<p>Step Eight: Start writing the positive occurrences that are happening to you. Learn to appreciate your life and the good things.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p>
<p>If you use this law of attraction action plan for three months, amazing things will start happening all around you. That is truly worth the effort</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.&#8221; </strong>~ Friedrich Engels</p>
<p>Today I present an article with seven steps to following through on your plan.</p>
<p><strong>Seven Steps to Follow Through Your Action Plan</strong> By Jim Somchai</p>
<p>When we have goals, we have our destinations in each period of our life. Whether we will get to those destinations depends on our actions. In order to have the right actions, we need to have a plan. It is however difficult for many people to follow through their plan despite the need to achieve their goals. What are the reasons why they can not follow through? In this article, we will talk about why people do not take actions that they are supposed to take and how to follow through their action plan.</p>
<p>One of the most common reasons that make people do not follow through is that they are not willing to be out of their comfort zone. We are all animal of habits. We normally do what we used to do. This is normal animal instinct. We feel safe when we are certain on the result we will get from our actions. The space that we limit our action is called the comfort zone. We are comfortable staying in this zone and on the contrary we feel unsecured when we are out of it. We have comfort zones in every area of our life. We need to understand how important it is to step out of comfort zone.</p>
<p>The disadvantage of staying in your comfort zone is that you will never grow within it. You will not grow physically, mentally, spiritually, financially and on the relationships with others. We have to practice our mind to get used to working our way toward our goals despite feeling uncomfortable. The following seven tips will help you to follow through your plan.</p>
<p>1. Know what you want and why you want it.</p>
<p>You need to know what you want out of your actions and the reasons why you want it. You will not be motivated to do what you are supposed to do if you are not clear on what you want. Clarity is your power to go to your target. Be clear on your goals. You need to decide what you want and then make the commitment on achieving it.</p>
<p>2. Choose the area that you love to do.</p>
<p>Your actions to your goals will need to be repeated over and over again. If you do not love what you do, it is very hard to continue doing. Your mind will tell yourself that you have no fun doing it. This is why people give up a lot easier than they are supposed to. Many people said they do not have choice doing what they do not like. On the contrary, they do not really decide to do what they love. Instead, they let themselves in doing what they do not like. It is up to your decision to stop what you think you must do and go to the area that you love most.</p>
<p>3. Start doing something.</p>
<p>Another thing that happens to many people is that when they want something, they do not even bother to start doing something. Tony Robbins always mentions his technique on actions that he never leaves the site of making decision without doing something toward his goals. You can do that also by start doing something toward your goal. Once you have the first step, other steps will be a lot easier for you.</p>
<p>4. Keep your momentum and keep your target at sight.</p>
<p>Once you start doing something, don&#8217;t let your actions die afterwards. Keep doing what is in your plan. Do not let your mind flies away while you take action. Focus on your goals. You can make a vision board or some goal vision note to see as often as you want. This will remind you the importance of your goal and motivate you.</p>
<p>5. Evaluate your actions and results.</p>
<p>Review your actions and see if you need to correct anything. Keep your statistic and compare with the standard. Change your approach if you need to but never change your goals.</p>
<p>6. Resolve not to give up.</p>
<p>Not giving up is one of the best qualities of successful people. You need to make sure that you also have that quality. Commit to yourself that you will not give up no matter what happens.</p>
<p>7. Visualize your success regularly.</p>
<p>Visualization will make your subconscious mind attract what you want into your life. This is according to the law of attraction. You can attract all situations and attributes favorable to your goal achievement by visualization daily. Visualize in your mind as if you are achieving your goals in front of you. Feel it and absorb what happens. You may want to add the background audio while you are visualizing. It will enhance your attraction. There are many background audios in the market. Attraction Accelerator can be one of your choices.</p>
<p>Not following through what you are supposed to do is one of the major hurdles to your success. This article talks about why this happens and how to overcome it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.&#8221; </strong>~ Les Brown</p>
<p>Many times one is defeated by lack of action. They have a dream and know how to go about making that dream a reality but, usually because of fear, they put no energy into the dream.</p>
<p>It is said that the difference between a dream and a fantasy is a plan. The plan is the steps to making the dream come true. Sometimes called a plan of action.</p>
<p>Without a plan there is no success. Therefore one of the first things you need to do in fulfilling your dream is to develop a step by step plan on how you are going to make your dream a reality.</p>
<p>Here are some questions to ask yourself:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Am I passionate about my dream?</strong> Without passion it is almost impossible to bring the dream to reality. If the answer is yes, go to number 2. If the answer is no, put it out of you mind because it will be a waste of time.</p>
<p>2. <strong>What do I need to make my dream come true?</strong> You may need more knowledge, more money, or help from another. What ever you need you can get, which brings us to the 3rd question.</p>
<p>3. <strong>How can I get what I need?</strong> You may need to go back to school, raise capital or find someone with the expertise you need. Whatever it is determine how and where you will get it.</p>
<p>4. <strong>How will I proceed after I have gotten what I need?</strong> You must start from where you are, so be honest with yourself as to where you are. This is the point where you start to develop you plan of action.</p>
<p>Your plan of action is a step by step plan that will lead you to success. It should be detailed enough that hopefully nothing is overlooked. I say hopefully because it is possible that you overlook something. It is for this reason that the plan should be reviewed often to be sure you are on track.</p>
<p>You also want to work your plan with an open mind. Remembering that the object of the plan is to make you dream come true, not prove anything. Remember to be open enough that you can change your plan when it is of benefit. When it stops working or is not going in the direction you want, review it and if you need to change it.</p>
<p>Remember that you are working with the circumstance of your reality. These circumstance may change or it may be that there was something you did not think about which would cause your plan to go awry.</p>
<p>Keep your end goal in mind and make adjustments as needed to reach that goal. Also be sure that you work your plan as long as it is working. Keep changes to a minimum and change it only when necessary.</p>
<p><strong>TODAY&#8217;S TIP: </strong>Give thought to what you want out of life and set your intention to get what you want.</p>
<p>Do you have a plan?</p>
