Motivation Success: The Little Engine That Could

How many things do we need to be successful at?

How many ways can we motivate ourselves to accomplish this success? Every day we push ourselves. Looking for motivation and success?

We connect with our family and friends; connect with our colleagues. There are only so many ways to stretch ourselves. Every time there is a dip in the proverbial cup the need to fill it back up is there.

We think the cup is easier to fill then it was for our ancestors; accomplishing it perhaps less harsh but tedious just the same. There is a history of leaders using motivation to build successful societies. Gathering food to stay alive or clothing their families for warmth. We are as driven as our ancestors.

Our motivation for success is instinctual. Even at the earliest stage of life; infants driven by it to crawl; toddlers driven by it to walk. In the teen years we’re driven by motivation to become successful academically; well, somewhere after the pursuit of finding something on four wheels to leave the nest. As high school and college graduates, the drive cumulates to the ultimate motivation; success through our work.

The road we find ourselves on however is not a straight path in any one direction. Women and men jaunt off in all directions. Responsibilities coupled with the desire to be successful in all we do. Are we successful husbands, wives, parents, co-workers, and friends? Are we motivated enough to continue this success? To get there is the paradox of having and obtaining more motivation to in the end be more successful.

This instinct drives men and women the same. Not in competition; motivation is about something more in the context of survival, or living if you will. Individuals with motivation may be misunderstood. Levels of motivation may differ between two people. Perhaps, as instinct would have it, one individual knows his needs to feed himself alone while another is aware of his needs to feed a family.

It may not be uncommon for individuals to feel in competition. Perhaps it is more that we reevaluate our needs through the observation of others. A personal wakeup call so to speak.

To find what we are looking for, we can either motivate ourselves for personal success; or as our ancestors did in building societies, we can motivate for the success of all. Motivation and success go hand in hand; personally and in a community.

Neither is unique to any one individual, sex, age or culture. It is instinctual; and in the instances where we may forget to use our motivation; success is not lost. Though we can apply our hearts and minds to find our silenced sense of motivation and our success will follow.

The Law of Success Will Keep You on the Right Track

If you are striving to be successful in life, then there are a few things you should learn about the law of success. Once you learn these laws and put them into action, you will notice things start to change drastically.

Read on to discover the three main laws of success...

The first law of success is to take full responsibility for your actions. You need to realize that you cannot change the actions of other people but you can change your own actions. Learning to be responsible for every action you take is the first step and a very important step on your way to success.

Another very important law of success is to align yourself with successful people. If you continue to hang out with negative people that are consistently blaming others for their problems, you will never be able to rise above the negativity and become successful yourself.

Find someone who has been very successful in life and study them. Learn their philosophies and their habits. Take note of what they talk about and the books that they read. Get inside their head to learn how they think. When you learn the habits and rules of successful people you will be able to implement them for yourself.

The third law of success is to acquire the knowledge and skills that you need to be successful. Then when you acquire these skills maintain the right attitude. Do not allow your knowledge to go to your head and never think that you are better than other people because you have risen above the rest.

Keep the attitude that there is always more to learn and that the way to be really successful is to be willing to help other people make their lives better. Be willing to give back and always be grateful for what you have achieved. Be thankful for the things that you have acquired and the fact that you have been able to work hard and make your life successful.

Memorize These Laws of Success

Use them every day and constantly work on improving yourself. Never forget to give back and to help others become successful. The more you give the more you will receive. What is success without the feeling of satisfaction that you have returned the favor? What good is money if you can’t use it to make lives better for the less fortunate than you?

Just remember that you only live once. Use the laws of success and one day you will be able to look back on your life and realize that you have lived it to the fullest. You will have no regrets...

Mind over Matter

The mind is the most powerful part of the human body, and is what sets us apart from other species...

The term mind over matter means that the mind, when given the proper stimulus, can override the normal limitations of the physical body, and cause the body to perform acts that it would not normally be able to do.

A prime example is the stories of mothers who free their trapped children from underneath automobiles weighing a few tons or heavy piles of rubble that they wouldn’t normally be able to move.

Walking over hot coals in bare feet by people who are trained “fire walkers” is another example of mind over matter. There is a medical and scientific explanation for how this could be. Our bodies produce stress hormones called endorphins which act to give us super-human strength and endurance, including masking pain impulses, in times of extreme crisis.

There are also stories of Yuri Geller and others bending spoons with the sheer power of the mind. To develop the capability to perform such feats of mind over matter requires that you first train and discipline your mind to shut out any outside distractions and to totally concentrate on the objective to be accomplished.

An important aspect of mind over matter is the mastery of our fears. Fear has been described by some as an acronym for False Experience Appearing Real. Our minds are so powerful that they can actually cause our bodies to manifest sickness, as evidenced by students becoming ill shortly before taking an important exam.

Often there are stories of cancer patients or those with other terminal illnesses, who quickly succumb to their disease and die; while others, similarly afflicted, overcome their malady and defy medical science and get well. One major difference between the first group of terminally ill people and the second is the attitude and expectations of the patient.

While a fighting will doesn’t always ensure a complete recovery from a life-threatening disease, it usually prolongs the time left to the patient, when compared to those who give up upon hearing the dreaded diagnosis and prepare to die.

One popular way of training your mind to perform feats of mind over matter is through the Change Your Mind, Change Your Life Course! This features guided visualization and affirmations. You decide the goal that you wish to accomplish and write it down, setting a specific date for your goal to be achieved.

It is best not to focus on too many things at a time. You visualize yourself achieving that goal, and enjoying the fruits of your achievement. For example, if you want a new car, you see yourself at the car lot picking out the make and model of your choice. You picture yourself in your mind driving around town in your new car.

The affirmations are said out loud several times a day - you write them out and customize them to fit what your goals are. This is programming your subconscious mind to achieve what your fears and doubts will tell you is impossible.

Thought Power And How To Unleash Yours

Thought Power is the most powerful creative force known to humanity...

Everything that we have today - the inventions and modern conveniences, our legal system, the books in our libraries, and our religious belief systems, to cite but a few examples, all began with a concept in someone’s mind and came to fruition though thought power.

Some people who have studied various types of Metaphysical belief systems believe that Thought Power creates a being called a Thought-form. Thought-forms are dispatched to go get whatever it is that the meta physician desires.

Thought Power Is Contagious

Have you ever been in a “down” mood and then entered into the company of someone who was so happy and charismatic that it was impossible to be sad or angry around this person?

A great public speaker has the ability to transform the emotions of their audience with their thought power. This can work for either good or bad-one of the prime examples of a public speaker with this power in modern times was Adolf Hitler.

Like attracts like, and thoughts are contagious. Hitler knew this and used this fact to turn the emotions of his mesmerized audience over the course of the many years of his reign, unfortunately turning thought power into a force for destruction and death.

Examples of those who have this power and use it to help people include Anthony Robbins, the dynamic motivational speaker, and Dr. Maxwell Maltz, the creator of the Psycho-cybernetics system.

The Psycho-cybernetics system runs on the principle that “as you think of yourself, so you become”. Dr. Maltz was a plastic surgeon who couldn’t understand why his patients would undergo surgery to correct birthmarks or facial damage caused in an accident, and then still think of themselves as ugly, despite the evidence in the mirror to the contrary.

Psycho-cybernetics utilizes thought power in the “Theatre of the mind”, a place inside your mind where you go everyday and “play out” scenarios of how you would bring about changes in your life right down to the level of envisioning what you will say to others to cause the changes and events that you desire to take place.

We all have the power to do this - you don’t have to be Dr. Maltz or Tony Robbins to use your thought power in this way...

All of the “new and wonderful” information contained in the book The Secret was actually written many years ago in books that are now in the public domain. One such book is As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. In this book he teaches that our thoughts change when we raise the level of our vibration to a higher level.

Our thoughts have the power to heal us or to kill us. Think for a moment how you feel after you have gotten angry and “gone off” on someone.

While it may be good to get an injustice off your chest, the very act of sending out angry thoughts can make you physically ill. Likewise, thinking happy, uplifting thoughts will make you feel much better...

Your Subconscious Power

By studying the powers of the mind both conscious and subconscious, we come to the realization that if we only knew how to use these powers, we could accomplish practically anything we have set firm in our view.

Not only would we receive our wants and desires to the fullest degree, but also reach even our highest goals.

The first time we hear this it seems to be a strong statement, nevertheless when we examine the whole nature of our-selves we are compelled to admit that it is indeed true even in its fullest sense, and that not a single individual can fail to realize his or her wants and reach their goals.

All you must do is simply learn how to use the powers that are within you...

This is not mere speculation or fantasy. The more we study the lives of people who have achieved great things in life, and the more we study our own experience every day, the more convinced we become that there is no reason AT ALL why any individual should not realize all his or her ambitions and much more.

Your Subconscious Mind Is Infinite

Out of it all ideas, impulses and feelings you need to know will come to you. Remember there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed to you.

Your Conscious Mind Is The Intelligent Recognition Of Self

These words will be read by your conscious mind. Your conscious mind is positive in its relation to the subconscious mind and controls your thoughts through desires, and literally builds into your subconscious mind “that of which you think about the most”.

For instance if you think you are lacking, in lets say courage, or any other quality of the mind, by dwelling in thoughts of courage, or the other lacking qualities, through repeating the word which to you is simply a symbol of that thought, you will attract to your subconscious the element or quality most desired

By doing this you also build up your personality, thereby insuring success in all aspects of your life…

Your subconscious mind has no choice of its own and acts on suggestions from your conscious mind. If you say, "I cannot do this or that," the subconscious mind receives the suggestion, absorbs it, and it then becomes a part of you.

If you use autosuggestion to impress upon your subconscious mind the thought that you can and will, then success will surely follow. You must train the mind to feel that you CAN, and it will in turn sustain you whenever you feel discouraged.
