Being DELIBERATE in the New Year

What Are You ~Deliberately~ Planning
For This Year???

You will notice the word ~Deliberate~ Our Personal Best in it's most Successful terms means..."Laying a firm foundation with a Deliberate Intention to create more of what we want and less of what we don't…" Success, after all is not about "if-y" propositions!

To live life powerfully means "Be"-ing DELIBERATE...

DELIBERATE IN INTENTION

DELIBERATE IN SAYING WHAT WE MEAN

DELIBERATE IN ASKING FOR WHAT WE WANT

DELIBERATE IN "EXPECTING" LIFE ENHANCING RESULTS

 

Be Deliberate in The New Year with Meaningful Resolutions!

Say ~arrivederci~ to those "old stand-by" resolutions... You know the ones... Losing weight... exercising more... make more money. This year, look deep within and search out those places that will REALLY make a difference in this year as well as Pre-Paving the rest of your life with what really "matters" to you.

Release the need to comply to what you think you "should" be doing... or what you think is POSSIBLE… Instead give FOCUSED ATTENTION to answering… "How do I want it to be?"

Remember Those New Year's Resolutions?
Well, What Are you Waiting For?
7 Success Bytes On How To Make Them & Keep Them!

1. If money weren't an issue, time weren't an issue AND you couldn't FAIL... what would you be doing or having that you have not "gone for" up to this point in time?

"We Create the Conditions that Inevitably Bring Results!" &emdash;Della Reese of "Touched By An Angel"

• Set aside a day to be quiet and to write down all the ways that you "would like it to be"...

• Write in ~great detail~…this is your Plan with a Capital "P"…

• Don't allow yourself to get deterred with the "How" at this point, just put your entire focus on what-ever your Heart-of-Heart's Desire is...

This is where "Authenticity" originates...
This is where Powerful Communication begins...

• Start with the "End Result" you want and work your way backwards to where you are today... (this builds the Foundation for your "P"lan)

2. Take In New Knowledge Everyday....

• You are the CEO of Your Service Organization.... We are all Independent Contractors for the work we do; it is Imperative to your Success that you become the Expert in whatever field and/or whatever accomplishments you are choosing in 1998.... and beyond...

Dr. Deepak Chopra, in "Creating Affluence" states:

"Knowledge has organizing power inherent in it. It is simply enough to know, to be aware of the principles; the knowledge will be processed and metabolized by our bodies and the results will be spontaneous. The results do not occur overnight, but begin to manifest gradually over a period of time.

"If you will take in new knowledge everyday, then you will see the changes that happen spontaneously in your life and the effortless ease with which wealth and affluence come into your life."

3. What Do I Need to Change About Me...
....In Order for Me to Succeed?

Anthony Robbins, author of "Unlimited Power," points out...

that there's no such thing as a truly "lazy" person. There are only people who haven't yet seized upon a sufficiently compelling reason to offer their total commitment.

We have a habit in this society of giving our Power away.... to outside forces, situations, circumstances, people, events.... It's really all about "Conditioning"... being taught to Comply... BE NICE, DON'T MAKE WAVES, DON'T SHOW OFF.... We slump quickly into a states of... "Powerlessness"... where absolutely nothing productive or forward moving can occur.

When it appears a situation is impossible... say quietly to yourself... "I am Never without Power"

Say it repeatedly... "I am Never without Power" and then say, "IsMostPossible"... and repeat that over and over.... release your worry, anger, frustration and wait in a relaxed state until the Creative Mechanism of your mind gives you a new idea, direction, or advise as to what to try next.... Listen, listen, listen inwardly.... you are a creative genius... Utilize your mind power by mentally REFUSEing to comply and give in to the state of "Powerlessness"... and Success will soon be at your door!

4. ~ K. I. S. S. ~

From my book, "You Are A Success! -61 Proven Strategies For Developing Success....

Keep It Simple Sweetie!
Get back to what is important, back to the basics; 

love, peace, harmony & good will. Slow yourself down. Trust that slowing down and allowing simplicity to seep in ~creates~ openings and an easy flowing existence. Know that there is an answer to all questions and that all problems eventually get resolved. Trust the beauty that life has to offer you by allowing simplicity into your life. Remember, making things too complicated and hurried risks success.

Try this...
Ask the Creative Mechanism of your Mind to show you the Easiest, most Energy EFFICIENT means to accomplish the work at hand... and watch what happens!

5. Visualize daily. It is easy to visualize the worst case scenario... and for many, it has been what we have been taught... Expect the worst...so that we will... not be "disappointed... so that....life cannot possibly work out for us!

The only way to experience a change for the better is to give deliberate and total FOCUS to a ~desired outcome~ WITHOUT mentally catastrophizing the scenario you are visualizing in some way....
Visualization is very powerful tool for yielding Successful Results... if your skeptical about the importance of this SuccessByte, let me ask you this...
…If I asked you to sit for 15 min. each morning visualizing yourself getting sick... would you do it?
No, of course not, because you "know" there is something to this...

Research indicates that about 15 min. in the morning and evening is adequate to creating new outcomes to old unproductive experiences...

Visualize the life you want... and see yourself Functioning Comfortably in it... & HAVE SOME FUN WITH THIS!!!!

6. WRITE every evening before retiring...
"What I did today for the furtherance of my resolutions..."

This year develop a new Discipline.... write only about what you want, how you want it to be, and when you want it accomplished by.... Using ONLY words and terms that describe the most ~desired outcome~...

We have given far too much of our attention to what we don't want.... for many, it is a national past-time.... and this is one of the main reasons why people are having great difficulty experiencing more of what they want and less of what they don't want.

As you complete the statement above, you will begin to determine exactly what you are doing with your Time and Energy... you will automatically see what is working and what is not... this is a very powerful way to monitor, throughout the months ahead, those resolutions you are "really" committed to...

7. Focus "Rigorously" on your Successes....

All too often we look at what is not done, what hasn't been accomplished... as a measurement of our Success.

Sometimes the demands are great... sometimes "appearances" are deceiving... leaving you with a sense of Failure or feeling depressed and inadequate... This is the time you must STOP and look at all you have been accomplishing... believe me, it will add up...

It takes great Courage & Heart to persevere in the face of what appears to be "not enough/fast enough"... so remember this... from Sarah in "I'll Be Home For Christmas" (made for TV Movie):

"COURAGE is not the absence of Fear, It's TAKING ACTION in the Face of It... "

Take action in "Byte Size Pieces" and remember....

YOU ARE A SUCCESS!
