enthusiasm

“Like the chicken and the egg, enthusiasm and success seem to go together. We suspect, however, that enthusiasm comes first. If you hope to succeed at anything in this world, polish up your enthusiasm and hang on to it.”

-John Luther

What you focus on is what you feel

* When you focus on the negative aspects of other people, they tend to
bother you more often.

* When you focus on the negative aspects of your business/work, you tend to
feel more uptight, annoyed or stressed.

It is not that people, work or life bothers us. Rather, it is the
negative aspects of people, work or life that we focus on that tend to bother
us.

Becoming resilient to pressure is a choice. How fast you
bounce back from stress, pressure and burnout is a choice.
>
Question: So, how do you choose to be resilient?
> Answer:
By practicing gratitude

shake off your blunders

"Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come."
Og Mandino

return to Origin

"All major mystical traditions have recognized that there is a paradox at the heart of the journey of return to Origin. ...Put simply, this is that we are already what we seek, and that what we are looking for on the Path with such an intensity of striving and passion and discipline is already within and around us at all moments.”

The Law of Attraction

For years self-help gurus have taught about The Law of Attraction - the idea that you can get what you want simply by creating a clear mental picture of what you desire and using your imagination to see it with your mind's eye. It all sounds very tempting doesn't it - but is there really any such thing as the Law of Attraction? Well, I would like to share with you a little about my own experience learning about and then using this principle. The Law of Attraction

believe

"Can you imagine what would happen if for just one moment, with every fibre of your being, you allowed yourself to believe that you can have life exactly as you choose to have it? ... Until today, you may have limited, edited or restricted your thoughts about the good things that could happen in your life. Just for today, allow yourself to be totally involved with just one good thought. Give yourself permission to get your entire being involved. Then watch to see what happens."

-         Tyanla Vansant

rising above

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."
-- Albert Einstein
