SUCCESS WHISPERS

SUCCESS WHISPERS

Many are not privileged to hear their calling when it is at the door. It beckons when you least expect it.  It's taken me some time to formulate a new blog post.  The reason being, I've been transforming daily.  While in the process of being molded it is better not to speak. Many things are seen, but very little would be understood by those who do not share the same burden.

I've walked in the direction of my dreams for the past two years. Creating a sustainable income after jumping into the unknown abyss.  I staggered for a moment, but shortly after was transformed into a new creation.  Looking in the mirror, I do not recognize the person peering back at me. I stubbled for a moment only to gain clarity that the person standing before me is the person that only existed in my dreams.  Out of a cruel reality I was born. A reality that assured me I could not travel beyond the dawn.  Strangely enough, my family always pushed. Pushed for a better understanding of the world we occupy.

I found it difficult to write for many months, because the Tides Of Misfortune crashed upon my shore until I felt I had nothing left to give.  I've never known such  hurt.  A feeling of loneliness... not by the world or those who love me, but by my own consciousness.  I had reached a land I had never traveled before.  A place that disregarded my well being. That chewed up my every attempt. Until, I became fearless.  My skin began to thicken... My hands clinched until they were sealed... My mentality had been reborn.

Standing in silence I hear a whisper. "Success", it declares "is but beyond the horizon. The journey you travel shall create a fearless leader.  A leader that will take many along the same path." Silence is again present. I am left alone only with a seed that has been cultivated into a state of mind.  A state of mind I have adopted as my own... and I shall not be moved from the root that has spawned me. Though the tides did crash down upon me, they only made me stronger.  They set their intent to disarm me, but they  have equip me with something far greater than this world could imagine.

Desire, faith, hope, love, and the courage to fulfill them all!

I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

SUCCESSFUL HABITS

We are all creatures of habit, good or bad, and they set the daily path in which we walk.  A habit is something we take part in more than once in like manner.  We feel satisfied with the routine and thus its molded into our subconscious.  The problem comes for those of us that have never tasted great success, nor have had the privilege of an outside influence.  Perhaps, from someone in a position we desire to rise to ourselves.

Throughout our lives we develop daily routines that fit our comfort level.  Depending on our surroundings, we then begin to adapt and conform to a social group that fits closes with our views on life.  Their perspective is considered.  Then reason, by way of which causes the strongest emotional response in us, bends both perspectives together forming a new world view.  This new view is then etched into our subconscious as a sense of belonging travels through our nervous system, bringing pleasure and satisfaction to our body.  This feeling is interpreted as being right.

It is at this point, the direction of our lives is set and the wet concrete containing our life's blueprint dries into permanency ... most will never deviate from this course.  This must be understood before one can come to the conclusion that interchange is a must for success to occur.  This realization can stimulate the mind to desire change, causing us to open ourselves to the task.

Habits of the successful are formulated through constant effort, just as our habits are formed.  The successful perform actions that lead to success, while our habits are lead by personal comfort (a life without struggle).  The successful are constantly learning and doing in order to sustain success.  We talk about success amongst our peers as though its within our grasp, but continue to do only enough to barely survive.  I've often heard many state their lack of interest for reading or learning.  They just do their job and that's enough, but in the same conversation say "but who knows, maybe one day my life will change and I'll become successful."  How could it change if you're unwilling to perform the proper actions that create change?  How can opportunities open themselves to someone who has decidedly kept their mind closed?

Yes, it is necessary to change who you are as a person.  That includes your views on social preference, religion, politics, society as a whole, and your very personal world views.  You must stop doing what makes you comfortable and jump into the unknown where your future is undetermined.  Sure its scary to live a life where you are constantly uncertain of what will come next.  Sure its unsettling to be unaware of the consequences of your next step and how it'll alter your life... but what lies on the other side of that fear is your success.

I'm not comforted by knowing the ending of my story.  It doesn't bring me peace to think of a stable and secure life... leaving in the shadows the dreams I once knew.  My comfort lies in knowing I'm living on purpose.  My peace comes from knowing I have the ability to conquer the obstacles that stand before me like the high walls of a king.  I have changed continually throughout my journey and no doubt will continue to change based off new found and sound knowledge.  I'm not afraid of change... I welcome it.  Every turn, left or right, has provided the opportunity for me to prove myself worthy and has deepened my desire and determination to succeed.

What you do with your life is completely in your hands.  Although, I urge you to seek change, I've simply shared what I've learned in life as it has shared its knowledge with me.

THE TIDES OF MISFORTUNE

A very key element to consider when striving to bring your dreams into reality is the tides of misfortune that await you.

I am referring to the experience we all go through that feels like the world is coming against us while trying to become successful.  Where every bad circumstance possible arises at once and makes it nearly impossible to get where you want.  Financial roadblocks occur and unnecessary expenses just seem to keep piling up. It's at this point many find it in their best interest to give up.

If you've experienced this you're not alone.  All great men written in the pages of history have encountered this tide, but don't worry there is an explanation.  There is a position reserved for great leaders.  Leaders with characteristics that influence the multitudes in positive ways.  Ones that are just in there decision making, fair with their fellow man, and walk a path of honesty.  Truly, success and leadership cannot be divided.  If you achieve success you'll become inspiration for those that know you. They'll  look into what makes you successful in hopes to find it themselves.

Therefore, the forces of nature round about us test all whom approach this vicinity.  In my own experience, it's as though the closer you get... the more problems arise against you.  I have taken all this into account while standing firm, staring at the tides that have hit me over and over.  I know my character must be tested. If I am to help change lives I myself must walk through the furnace to have my motives purified.  What keeps me standing is knowing that when this part of the test has passed, I will rightfully be able to take my place among those who've walked into the realm of greatness.

Of course, there is another path to success that many take.  Which is a dishonest route, but remember we're not looking for only material success.  We're looking for success in the transformation of our minds and a life filled with joy and happiness with our loved ones.  Once we've passed through the hardest part of the test we'll stand with more than just success.   We will have knowledge, understanding, and wisdom that is gained only by experiencing such a journey.  Circumstances can strip us of all our material wealth, but they will never be able to strip us of what we've become.  I look at it in this way: The more intense the test becomes, the closer I'm getting to success.

There will be a time when the tide subsides to a small wave.  At this moment, charge forward with everything you've got sparing nothing.  Show the world you are worthy of such a great position.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and feel free to post comments of your own experiences.

A TRANQUILIZING DISCOVERY

MY JOURNEY

Today I'd like to speak in retrospect of my journey thus far. I think you may find it interesting to know it wasn't so long ago I was a completely different person. In that, I was very negative towards life. I often thought it was unfair I wasn't given an option of whether I wanted to be born or not. I thought to myself "if I was given an option I would have chosen to never have been born." A terrible thought, don't you agree?

It was a fascinating discovery to learn that I could control my thoughts and feelings to a degree of completely transforming myself. If you're a person that has known me since then I'm sure you'll agree I'm not the same person at all. I'm often asked "what caused the change or what triggered the thought that you needed to change?" That of course, isn't that easy to answer. It was many things in my life that built up over the years and led to a certain point where I decided change was necessary. It is only fare to note I've always felt a calling over my life which helped in that moment I realized I wasn't anywhere close to fulfilling it.

Every event in my life leading up to this changing point played a very big part in my transformation. However, at the moment I was going through it I felt like a complete failure. It was through the course of educating myself with different philosophies that I picked up the habit of learning from defeat. Once this was apart of my thinking every experience was an education that propelled me high above prior thinking.

On July 14, 2003, I began working for an Attorney by the name of Charles H. Soley. Who now is a very dear friend of mine and I often have dinner with him and his lovely wife and son. I was very young minded. Although, I didn't think so at the time. I went through many challenges working at his office. Often times I just wanted to walk out and never come back. It got easier through the years, but not until I started to change my attitude towards life. At first, I hated every day of work. Then, I began to appreciate it. My biggest lesson after six and a half years of working there was... every situation I went through was specifically shaping me to endure what was waiting ahead for me.

I left that job on great terms and equipped with much experience to pursue my goals. Even now I educate myself daily. Not just with reading, but also by revisiting every experience throughout the day and categorizing them in terms of usefulness. If I had a bad experience I sit back and analyze it, strip the negative from it, and find its lesson. This creates a keen sense for the positive in everything. The benefit... I'm not left feeling angry or sad. Instead, I transform that negative energy into a usable fuel that energizes my body and excellerates me into a higher state of mind. I no longer look at only my life... I look at humanity as a whole and make decisions based from this plateau. Keeping your mind focused on how miniscule we are in the scheme of greater things is difficult, but very rewarding.

I always try to practice the Golden Rule which is: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, if your positions were reversed.' Being kind and at peace always with everyone is an essential key to success not only in business, but also in life.

Subsequently, life is beginning to turn in my favor for those things I've sought after. Its been two years since I've went whole heartedly after my dreams. I've learned a lot, I've grown a lot, and this is only the beginning. I will never stop, I will never rest, until I pull my dreams into this reality, until I hold my dreams in physical form within these hands.

You can do the same by working at it everyday. Never let anyone discourage you from your path. Work on yourself everyday and know that any tiny progress is still progress no matter what the world around you says.

THE POWER OF BELIEF

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT to live in a world where there are no obstacles and nothing gets in your way from having everything you've ever wanted? IMAGINE a world where everyone's on your side rooting for you to succeed, a world where you couldn't find one voice of criticism.  Can you IMAGINE living a life with no limitations where everything you dreamed up was possible for you to accomplish?  Can you IMAGINE the overwhelming feeling of happiness and joy you'd have everyday from being successful at what you love?  Being able to provide for your loved ones and knowing you've changed everything?  Can you IMAGINE the moment where you realize you've positively affected the lives of those you love, who love you, and those who take to heart your words and examples?

If you can IMAGINE these things then you have already experience what it feels like to be there.  For a brief moment you were teleported to the time and place where you are that person you want to be.  It's possible to experience these feelings everyday all day if you have the discipline.

I'd like to talk to you about BELIEF, what it is, and how it affects us.  In previous writings I've discussed thoughts and how changing them can alter your life forever.  Now, I'd like to go a little deeper into the center of our being.  Our BELIEFS are what make us who we are.  In everyday decisions we depend on our BELIEF'S to guide us. BELIEFS are what we feel about the world and everything in it.  Throughout your life you've made both conscious and subconscious decisions about how you're going to feel about a certain subject.  For the most part, these BELIEFS go uncensored for the majority of our lives and sometimes for the remainder of our lives.

Our BELIEFS govern our behavior.  If you truly believe in your heart you were born to be great nothing can sway you from your quest to obtain it.  Likewise, if you truly believe you'll never be one of those successful people... you never will be. Nor can you, because everything within you will come against you every time you try. The negative voice of the left side of your brain will dominate your person and you'll constantly repeat the negative thoughts in your mind until you are thoroughly convinced they're true.

You gain power of your BELIEFS when you realize you have the power and ability to change them.  Take some time to be alone and examine your BELIEFS about yourself.  Do you honestly believe you were created to be great?  Well, why not???  If asking yourself this question makes you feel doubt about your potential then change the way you feel about it.  Perhaps everyone has been in a situation where they were confident they were going to win at something.  Whether it be a game, a bet, or a fight. There has been a time in your life when you were certain of yourself.  Even if it was just for a brief moment.

Let us use the imagination we have and IMAGINE waking up one morning and feeling completely confident.  When you walk outside everyone says "hi" to you and smiles.  IMAGINE pulling up to work and already feeling completely confident that no matter what problems arise you're completely ready for them.  You know for a fact you have the intelligence to overcome them.  IMAGINE how it feels when everything you do comes so easily to you.  Without effort you're able to be the best at everything you do.  IMAGINE how it feels to never be afraid of failing, because you know if you don't know something you could easily learn it.

Its totally possible!  If you have the ability to IMAGINE, then you have the power to create.  All it takes is for you to START NOW.

INFINITE CHANGE

As we walk through the dusty roads of predicament and struggle with strife from the life we were handed at birth, we seldom realize the beauty that surrounds us.  Our eyes become corrupted from our thoughts and false beliefs so much that what we perceive isn't actually what's really there.  It is easy to spot the colors of others... but who will save us from ourselves?

We are comprised of vast complexities, ruled by the internal Self, which many have not come to know or realize.  The power of Self is of extraordinary proportions.  If only we would learn to harness it instead of allowing it to run unmanned.  Here is the wonderful truth... we can control it.  Like the first time you took a step as an infant you can step out into the unknown practices of Self Control.  Learning to control the Self also entails controlling your thoughts.  We whisper to ourselves constantly throughout the day without monitoring what is being said.  We look at something and speak to ourselves saying what we feel about it.  Such statements include:
"uh I hate that", "that's stupid", "I can't stand that person", "stupid haters", "I wish I could do that", "if only I had that then I would be happy too",  etc.

I'm sure you get the point.  As you make these statements with repetition they are impressed deeply into your subconscious mind as a seed planted in soil.  The next thing that happens is these seeds are cultivated in thought.  Habits are developed and it becomes the makeup of your character.

WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!  When we learn to change ourselves.  The question is how do we change ourselves? The answer is something most people don't want to hear... but I'm sure you're dying to hear it! Change starts with our thoughts and beliefs.  Here's an example; Normally you make this statement to yourself in the morning before going to work "I hate going to work." This is the thought you've made a habit thinking.  Your belief is something similar to "Work is boring, but it pays the bills" or "its something I have to do, but don't want to."  Both the thought and belief in this case produce negative chemicals in your body and thus we feel.  The feeling of hate in your body was cause by the thought of "hate" and enforced by the belief "This is boring or painful."  Therefore, every time you think of work or hear the word mentioned you feel "hate and pain."  Of course, its going to be a bad experience with that attitude!  Tell yourself to SHUT UP!

In order for true change to occur you must be WILLING TO CHANGE the way you THINK and BELIEVE.  The best way to start is to tell yourself "I was just looking at it wrong."  Then begin to look for the good in what is before you.  The job situation was just an example.  There are many thoughts and beliefs that you have that cause problems.  Not being able to see the problems in yourself will always cause the solution to elude you.  If you're a person that has a pattern of bad luck in relationships, employment, or in life in general... chances are you're the problem!

There's plenty of knowledge in the world that has been discovered by great men and women and recorded on paper with ink.  These sacred records are called books and they're everywhere!  If you're struggling with change first admit to yourself that you don't know everything.  Create an open mind by saying "it's possible that there may be something written in these books that can change my life forever."

The word "habit" is the key!  If you make a habit of thinking bad and feeling bad your always going to feel bad.  If you make a habit of thinking positive and feeling happy chances are you're going to feel really good about yourself.  It doesn't stop with thoughts and beliefs... you have to take action!  Get out there and do what you love!   Don't let the world tell you what to do in your life!  You tell the world what your going to do with your life... and it starts with you doing it right now!  Surprise them by taking the initiative of having fun without the worlds permission!  Laugh for no reason!  Smile and wave at everyone without caring what they'll say!  Wake up early on the weekend and go to the lake without any friends!  Then maybe you'll discover the fun in you!  Don't look for fun, create it!  Make it fun for others to be around you!  Be silly and laugh at yourself, because laughing is contagious!  Do anything and everything it takes to create happiness!  Its your birth-right!


I believe in you and know you have the ability to change your life for the good and positive of not only yourself, but for all those around you.

UNFAILING STRENGTH

Through the course of my endeavor I have experienced defeat over and over.  I have been shackled by burdens too strenuous to breakthrough.  I have felt the weight of the world resting upon my chest.  At times bringing me to my knees.  Turning again in the direction in whence I came would be easier... but not honorable.

I feel it is necessary to touch on defeat.  What is defeat?  From my prospective, defeat is none other than the stepping stones I must walk on to reach my goals.  Defeat is the process of learning or becoming acquainted with that which I have set out to conquer.  It is the evidence of growth.  When turning back to gaze upon the path I've walked I can see the steps I have imprinted in the surface of the earth.  In that moment I see clearly my progress.

At the end of the first year of my journey, I had over come obstacles that stood as tall as mountains.  After climbing to the top I thought that would be the hardest part of my journey... I was wrong.  Survival itself in the jungle is a difficult task, but add to it the refusal to move away from your calling and you have the world standing in opposition.  At the top of the first mountain I stood in awe at the sight of much greater mountains.  I realized then and am still learning that the fight to success takes a warrior.

There is something profound about struggle.  Before I embarked on this journey I thought I knew the formula to success.  However, there was one ingredient missing.  That missing ingredient was the formation of a new character purged when walking through the fire.  The fire burned me and I quickly had to adapt to my new dangerous surroundings.  The fire, simply put, is the tester.  True success cannot be had by the accumulation of wealth.  It is had by the refining of your current character.  There is an unseen law that governs and protects virtues such as happiness, peace, love, joy, and a content heart.  All  -to-which can only be gained through a true and just heart.

Money is not my desire.  It's simply a benefit of becoming a success.  My true desire lies within the luxury of undeniable peace, a blameless character, and an upholder of justice.  Struggle and the refusal to be defeated creates an unfailing strength that will get you through the testy waters.
