What are your Goals? Are you achieving them? Are you even certain what you're busy working for? It's really surprising how many people are just plodding along doing their best to make a living, keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. If you ask them what their goals are - what they really want out of life, they just don't know! Already, they've stopped dreaming! It's time to wake up and realize that dreams CAN create your reality. And it's not any harder to dream BIG dreams. So start now. The following articles give us some step by step ideas on how to follow through.
What Is The Right Action That Leads To Your Ultimate Goals?
By Chengxiang Song
What is the right thing I need to do to bring forth my
desires?
What actions do I need to take Now?
Am I doing the right thing or the wrong thing?
These are the questions that most of us constantly ask
ourselves in the mind. Most of the time, we are asking
unconsciously.
We are constantly judging what we are doing, because we are
afraid of making mistakes. Let me now show you how to choose
the right action that will lead you to your ultimate goals.
First of all, let's discuss ...
**The root of all procrastination**
Very often, people tell me "I have studied all the theories
of success and read all the self improvement books, but I
still don't know what to do."
Then they end up doing nothing, and getting no results.
No matter how many books you read, how many tapes you
listened to, and how many seminars you attend, if you don't
take any action, you won't have any result. Action creates
result. You can't change this fact.
Inaction leads to endless procrastination, and ultimately,
leads to failure.
You must understand that no matter how bad the situation is,
you can always take some action to improve it right now,
even just a little improvement. If you can not imagine how
to make 1 million dollars, just make a commitment to make
100 dollars first. You might have heard of this phrase "CANI",
It represents constant-and-never-ending- improvement.
Success is a journey, not a destination. This journey is
about improvement. As long as you are making some kind of
improvement, you are leading to success.
Now you know you need to take some kind of actions,
then...
**What is the right action?**
The answer is to ask your intuition. Your intuition will
never fool you because it is the message from the higher
intelligence. Your intuition always knows what is right and
what is wrong.
Do you remember when I said that feelings and emotions are
the language of the universe? They are also the messages
from the higher intelligence of the universe. When you feel
a positive emotion, the universe is telling you that you are
doing well, keep on doing; When you are receiving a negative
emotion, the universe is warning you that you are not
aligned with your ultimate purpose, or life mission. You
need to correct your action. This is the way the universe
communicates with you.
Before taking any action, ask yourself " How will this make
me feel once I have accomplished this action?"
Most of the time, your intuiting will give you immediate
feedback, you either receive a positive or negative emotion.
Listen to your intuition, and do what makes you feel good,
don't worry about making mistakes, because...
**Everything is in its divine order**
One of the most stubborn road block to success is fear of
failure, or fear of making mistakes.
To completely remove this road block, you must accept a
belief that everything is in divine order.
Look back at your life of the past 10 years. Did you make
any mistakes? Sure you did, but without that mistake, would
you have the life you are living now? If you can look
deeply, you will find that mistake had inevitably created
some coincidence that leads to your present life. There is
always a connection between everything happening in your
life. That mistake is part of your life journey that should
not be missed, then why did you worry at that time?
After my university entrance examination, I did not get a
chance to join an old brand university that I loved very
much. Most people that know me felt pity for me, but I did
not care, I joined a university of my second choice. Just
one month after joining that university, I was offered a
scholarship to study abroad in a much better university than
my first choice university. Best of all, I did not spend a
single dime on my tertiary education, even my everyday
spending was covered by that scholarship. I would never have
had this chance if I had joined my first choice university.
Is this only a coincidence? I don't believe that, I believe
every thing is in its divine order, in my life, nothing ever
goes wrong.
If you want more of this kind of coincidence happen in your
life, repeat this everyday when you feel doubt.
"Everything is in its divine order; in my life, nothing ever
goes wrong"
To sum up, you need to make a small improvement everyday.
Before taking any action, think of the feelings it will
bring to you, and make the right choice based on your
feelings. Then just do it, and believe you are doing the
right thing because everything is in divine order.
To your success

Fantasy versus Reality
Skye Thomas
Building wealth isn't something for the
frightened, ignorant, and lost. You have to be emotionally
strong, prepared, and standing in the right spot. So many of
us fantasize about making more money and call it prayer. We
then wonder why the universe isn't delivering our fortunes
to us. I can't tell you how many people I've listened to
grumble about how they've taken all of the steps to manifest
more abundance into their lives and yet it just doesn't seem
to be working. As someone on the outside looking in, it
seems so obvious why their money hasn't arrived. They are
usually sabotaging their own plans and don't even know it.
But why? Because they're living in a fantasy and not looking
at the reality of what it takes to make your own fortune.
If you ask most people what they would do if they won a
million dollars, they've got it all planned out. They can
tell you exactly how they'd spend it. A few are wise enough
to invest, but most of those don't know who or what they
would invest in. Ask someone what they would do to earn a
million dollars and you'll seldom get an answer. For most of
us, we'd buy a lottery ticket. Almost every other answer you
hear will fall under the heading of "I'd like to be paid a
million dollars to ___________." You fill in the blank. The
thing is how many people are actually doing what it takes to
get paid that kind of money for doing whatever they wrote in
the blank?
That's the difference between fantasy and reality. There's a
big difference between visualizing a nice fat paycheck and
actually taking the steps to create it. Creating abundance
is not about placing an order and then sitting on the couch.
The reality is, it takes a heck of a lot of emotional
strength and training, job expertise and quality
craftsmanship or service, and being at the right place at
the right time. Stating your affirmations is a small but
incredibly powerful piece of the mental preparedness, but by
no means is it the only step necessary.
The truth is, most of us don't create a million dollars for
ourselves because most of us don't want the headache of such
a big chore. We subconsciously put up roadblocks and
stalling techniques in our path so that we can feel good
about making an effort, but don't actually have to do the
really big work. One of the best things we can do for
ourselves is to come into alignment with what it is that we
really do want - not what we've fantasized about wanting.
Sit down and really draw it out on paper. How much money do
you really need? How much extra do you want for playtime and
frivolousness? Then look at how hard do you want to work to
get it? How much free time do you want? How much vacation?
The ability to take paid vacation is a form of financial
compensation - figure it into your equation. How much fame
do you require? How much privacy? The general public is
fascinated by wealth, how much of their attention do you
want? How much can you tolerate? Do you want your every
mistake on the front of the tabloids? How important is your
personal freedom? What about the ability to be completely
spontaneous or to save ahead? Most of us really don't want
the headaches of big money, that's why we keep it away from
us. Wealth means many things to many people, find your real
definition and make peace with it.
Once you've got an accurate dream based in your own reality,
then look at where you really are today in comparison to
where you want to be. How long do you want to take to get
from A to B? How hard are you willing to work to get there?
What are you willing to give up in order to get there? What
are you absolutely never going to give up to get there? Find
a balance between these answers and plot your course.
In plotting your course, what steps do you need to take? Do
you need to educate yourself? Maybe you need an actual
college education or a trade school degree. Maybe you need
to educate yourself on how your market works? Maybe you need
to learn how to present yourself or how to sell your
product? Do you need to move to another town because that's
where the industry is centered? Do you need to perfect your
craft? Do you need to create a reputation as an expert? Do
you have self-defeating habits that must be broken? This is
a tough one for most people to answer honestly about
themselves. If you need help get it. Change whatever you
need to change about yourself. Heal whatever you need to
heal. Educate, grow, evolve, and inspire yourself however
you need to in order to get to that end goal. Only you can
answer what steps you really need to take and how long they
will take.
The most important part is that you plot your course from a
realistic set of expectations and timelines. Positive
affirmations can help keep you on track and can even work a
bit of magic to help you to speed the process up a bit here
and there, but plan on staying the course however long it
takes. It's a commitment that you're making to yourself and
to that lifestyle that your money is going to create. Along
the way, reward yourself with pieces of the dream. It's not
like you have to wait until the entire million dollars is in
your bank account before you can suddenly live that
millionaire lifestyle that you planned for yourself. Give
yourself a piece of the good life each step of the way.
It'll help fuel the fires and it'll confirm that the
affirmations are coming true.
