1) Understand that no experience comes labeled. You are the labeler.
The power to choose is
yours! As William
Shakespeare said,
"Nothing is good or bad
but thinking makes it so".
You and only you are the labeler of your experiences. Do
you complain that roses have
thorns or do you rejoice that
thorns have roses?
You have the ability to choose
your reactions. All too often, these decisions to label are not
done consciously and your
internal dialog will slap on a
negative label. You must be
aware of this and
change it immediately. Realizing your ability to label
is an awesome power and a
great step towards success.
Upon taking control, you can
select empowering labels in
place of the negative ones. You are in control of the
experience.
2) Avoid blaming yourself for
making mistakes.
The road to success is
always under construction.
Every morning we awake to a
day we have never seen or
experienced. Mistakes will be
made and obstacles will appear. You
have no control over these
events but you do control
your reaction to them. It is
important that we forgive
ourselves for making mistakes. We need to
learn from our errors and
move on. It is when we hurt
that we learn. The power to
choose how much we learn is
ours. Do you see a stumbling block or a stepping-stone?
You
decide.
3) Understand that like
energies attract.
Like attracts like. Positive
thoughts produce positive
results. If you surround
yourself in positive emotions,
energies, thoughts, and people
then positive events will be the end result.
Unfortunately, the same
is true if you surround
yourself in negative energies.
Do you know
someone that is always negative and melancholy?
Notice that bad luck seems to
continuously follow them.
They may say that a rain cloud
is right above his or her head.
Well, they’re right. And as soon as they
realize that it is they who
create that rain cloud they can
chose to make it disappear.
What you plant, so
shall you harvest. If you plant rose seeds you get
roses right? Plant
seeds of happiness, hope,
success, and love; it will all
come back to you in
abundance. This is the law of nature.
4) Determine what you
want and act on it.
Imagine an archer that
did not have a target to
shoot his arrow at. He
would fire his arrows
aimlessly and would not
be successful. Have a goal, write it down, and act upon
that goal. Now that there is a
clear target you can have a
plan of action. A visible target
it easier to hit. Nobody ever
sat his or her way to success. It takes hard work,
motivation, a positive attitude
and a strong belief that you
can do it. That
combination produces
what we call luck. Do not sit back and wait for life
to happen to you. Have a plan
and take the needed steps to
create what you want.
5) Choose to feel
happy.
It has been said "Act as
if and you will become." Try it.
It really works. Put your chin
up, smile, and think positive
thoughts. Remember the
happy times and notice all you
have to be grateful for and
you will feel lighter, happier
and more empowered. If you
frown, groan, grumble, and
focus on everything wrong in the
world you will feel down,
lethargic and negative. Why
bother with that? Identify the
things and people that make
you feel unhappy and eliminate them from your life.
Nothing
good can come from them.
Choose to be happy and
positive. Take steps to insure a
more joyful and positive life. Do happy
things; see positive movies,
read good books, be around
positive people, and
practice affirmations.
Identify the things and people that bring you happy
feelings and surround yourself
with them. Cultivate your
relationship with yourself and
you will
be successful.
Taking control of your life
takes time and requires
decisions. The rewards
make the efforts worth
it.
