Don’t Hold Yourself Back from SuccessDon’t Hold Yourself Back from Success
The world's top 3% are the ones that are truly healthy, happy, successful, and financially free. The amazing part about "The 3 Percenters" is that they usually have no idea how they really became successful in the first place! That's why you'll so often hear them say things like, "Oh, it was just luck" or "You have to believe in yourself" or even more maddeningly, "Just do it". Sure luck, belief and action are all part of success. But that still leaves most people with only about a thousand questions about how to actually let yourself succeed to your full potential. I used to work ridiculously long hours at jobs I hated and still never got ahead. I used to try visualizing, goal setting, working hard, and everything else �" but never got what I really wanted. One morning, I was in the shower when I had a realization that changed my life. I realized that you can say motivational statements or "affirmations" 'til the cows come home �" but still never believe the positive things you're saying to yourself. "Affirmations" will almost never produce the results you want. That's what most people do. They see movies like "The Secret" and think all they have to do is say a bunch of positive things and their lives will magically turn around. They stop themselves from getting what they really, really want! For the rest of your life you're going to see people who are getting the opportunities that you want. Or you're going to be talking to someone, in a business or sales situation, and think that there's something else you should be saying to get the results you want. Or you're going to sitting at your computer and wondering why so many other people are making lots of money… The question is, are you going to know exactly what to do and say to succeed? Or are you going to let each of these opportunities slip by and never know what might have happened? I personally invested over 20 years and thousands of dollars to learn how to be successful in life and business. You might want to become an entrepreneur who helps people and donates to worthy causes. You might be looking to grow your business or increase your sales. Or attract particular life situations to you. Or lose weight. Or find the love of your life. That's fine. But you have to do something about it. It might sound crazy, but the #1 reason that people hold themselves back from success is because they are unconsciously trying to protect someone from their own success. The problem is, if you're doing this, you're probably completely unaware that you're even doing this in the first place, let alone WHY you're doing it �" and you sure don't know how to fix it. If you don't make the decision to get your life handled right now, there's a very, very small chance that you're going to do anything about it in the future.
On the night of October 20, 1997, a 30-year-old religious studies major named Noah St. John had an epiphany that changed his life. While attending a seminar, he suddenly realized the real, hidden reason so many smart, talented, motivated people stop themselves from success – and saw it had nothing to do with goal-setting, "motivation" or anything being taught in traditional success literature. That very night, with no formal education in business, Noah decided to form a company to teach people around the world the simple steps that remove the hidden barriers to success.

Are you creating your life deliberately or by default?
Are you creating your life deliberately or by default? Copyright 2005 Melissa Quiter
Have you ever wondered how some people seem to have it all, while others struggle and work hard their whole lives and still have little to show for it? What is the difference between those that are creating the exact lives they desire to live and those who are not?
After hundreds of hours of research in programs, books, discussions and cutting-edge thought seminars, those questions can be answered by two very simple, yet profound, words.
Deliberate and Default
More specifically, deliberate creation -- proactively participating in the creation and manifestation of your conscious and subconscious desires, and default creation - being only consciously aware of what you desire while the subconscious (where 88% of creating is done) pushes you along without awareness and focused direction.
As the creator of your life, you are at cause for everything you attract into your experience. And based on the universal Law of Attraction, which says -- that which your energy is focused is drawn to you -- there is never a moment when you are not creating.
So, if you are deliberately creating your life through active participation, awareness and focused energy, your life is a true reflection of what you desire. If you are creating by default, you are at effect of what is being created by your untapped subconscious mind. Without focus and process, your mind falls prey to what it has habitually done in the past. You know this is happening to you if you seem to experience the same situations over and over and over again - the same bad relationships; the same financial challenges; the same frustrating work situations; etc.
Deliberate creating is about taking back the power you came to this earth possessing. It is about actively participating in the total design of your life. It is about following a process, the Process of Deliberate Creation, on a daily basis to continually be moving toward your desires.
Being a deliberate creator of your life is the joy and satisfaction that may be the answer to what is missing from your life. It may be the only thing standing in the way of living and experiencing the life you came to this earth to live.
Learn the Process of Deliberate Creation today and take the first step in creating and manifesting all of your desires!

To Know Him Is to Love Him
More years ago than I care to remember there was a popular song that went like this: "To know, know, know him, is to love, love, love him; and I do." It had a catchy tune and sounded romantic. After all, when you're in love with someone, you want to know all there is to know about that person. The more you get to know that person, the more you're likely to love him/her. That's the way it is with God's Love. You cannot give unconditional love unless you have it, and you don't know you have it until you give it away. You see, God's kind of love is very patient and kind. It is not envious, proud, or hypocritical, and does not seek self-satisfaction, exasperation or evil thoughts. It hates wrong-doing, but always rejoices in the truth. Love will endure much, being ever faithful, hopeful, and dependable. (1Cor.13: 4-8) Is that a tall order, or what! If you are to measure up to that definition of love, than you may be tempted to give up before you start, right? It's no wonder that so many marriages, partnerships, friendships and families are broken up every day! The big question is, how can you ever be so much in love forever, even when the other person's love grows cold? Could you love someone who does not know you and you know is far from perfect? Your answer to that might be: "Only God could do that!" Well, guess what? While you were yet a sinner, Christ died for you! (Rom. 5: 9) In fact, you love Him, because He first loved you! You see, God is Love. That's who He is! Without Him there is no real Love. If you should say that you love God, yet at the same time hate your brother, you would be lying. Why? Well, how could you not love your brother whom you see and know, and love God whom you have not seen? Therefore, if you really love God, then you would love your brother as well! (1 John 4: 19-21) That's why there is really only one Commandment: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself." In fact, Jesus added that, if you obey that commandment, you will live! (Luke 10: 27-28) That's interesting! I had never quite noticed that last part before! If you strive to live your life filled with God's love, then you will truly live a full, wonderful life here on earth as well as an everlasting life! Are you sure that you have everlasting life? Do you know God? You will come to love Him more and more by spending daily quality time with Him in His Word. "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4: 15-17) Be encouraged, friend. If you are struggling with love, go to God and ask Him to help you. Jesus promises that if you stay close to Him and read and meditate on His Word, you can ask whatever you want, and it shall be done for you! (John 15: 7) and: "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode wit him." (John 14: 23)

Find Your Purpose, Fulfill Your Destiny
We are each being guided to fulfill our life purpose. Collectively and individually we are all following our intuition to evolve ourselves to higher levels of consciousness. You witness evidence of this inner guidance as you read these words. You are here because spirit guided you to be here. You are being invited to take that next step and fulfill your destiny. So, what is your destiny? What lies awaiting for you to realize? First you must find yourself. Connect with the part of you that knows your calling and how to fulfill the purpose of your existence. To realize your full potential you must realize your Self, you must attain Self Realization.
Everyone reading this essay is enlightened to some degree or you would not have the inclination to read this. Start by acknowledging that part of you that seeks enlightenment. Let it be clear in your own mind that you are seeking to raise your calibrated level of consciousness and attain conscious control over your mind, and feel the full profundity of God’s love as you realize the Kingdom of Heaven within you. To think we go through so much of our life ignorant of this Divine presence. It’s a wonder how we could deny the very love that sustains our own existence, but we do. We suffer out of ignorance.
When your mind realizes the true nature of your Self, the bliss is indescribable. If you are not intoxicated on God, what are you doing? Why would you choose to live a life of trials and errors when you could walk with Him? God never left, open your eyes and see. The Kingdom of Heaven lies within. In the Gospel of Thomas the apostles ask Jesus, “When will the Kingdom come?” To which Jesus replied, “It will not come by waiting for it. You cannot say that it is here, or that it is there. For the Kingdom of Heaven is spread out before man, but he sees it not.” Those that have eyes let them see.
Brothers and sisters, your destiny is to enlighten. Until to commit to this mission you are straying from your path and that might be why it seems difficult at times. When will the time come that you commit yourself whole heartedly to your enlightenment? Through Self Realization you truly do find greater prosperity, happiness and peace. Let me show you the way to find the answers that already lie within you. Let us create peace on Earth by first finding peace within ourselves. Your destiny awaits.

Meditation Courses
If you are a beginner in meditation and you aren’t sure you are doing all you can accomplish, or you feel like there may be something distracting you, you will want to check your area to see if anyone offers meditation courses. By taking a course, you will have an experienced guide that can give you advice and track your progress. It’s possible that you will also be in a group that is learning the practice of meditation together. This is a good place to make friends and meet people you already have something in common with.
Where should you look to find meditation courses? If you live in a metropolitan area, you may be lucky enough to have a store nearby that sells specialty items that aid in meditation. These stores will likely have a pegboard for groups that meet to meditate together. There you will find any courses or information on instructors that are local to your area. If you don’t have a store that fits this description, try a health food store. Many people who practice meditation also try to live an all natural lifestyle, and they would frequently visit your local health food store as well.
If you don’t live in a high population center, you can still try an internet search for meditation courses. There may be someone who travels through your area on a regular basis and they stop to teach a group in your area. Or there may be a group already established in your hometown and you only have to call to join to them. Wherever you live, there are options available to you if you spend a little time looking for them.
You may also be able to find meditation courses on DVD or CD. These would include a group instructor giving you verbal directions while you are meditating to guide you to your fullest potential. The best courses would have a selection of lengths available, so that if you don’t have a full hour to devote to your meditation that day, you would be able to choose a shorter time, such as thirty minutes or even fifteen minutes.

Increasing Brain Power
Everyone still wants to have an active mind when they are elderly and some parents even try to increase brain power in their children when they are still in the womb! Some child development experts believe that a fetus will grow into a more intelligent child if it hears Mozart being played. There is no scientific proof of this but it won't do any harm. There is an obsession amongst some parents to force feed knowledge to their children. This hot housing, as it's known, is done by showing flash cards to infants who can barely talk yet. It's a sad fact that we lose brain cells, as we get older. We start to notice it in little ways, such as going into a room and forgetting what we went in for. Remembering people's names and appointments can also be problematic. There are some products on the market that make claims to increase brain power. They usually involve some sort of memory activity. The medical establishment doesn't really know why some people's minds deteriorate at a faster rate than others but the consensus is that staying mentally active is very important. It shouldn't be left until we retire either. Those gray cells need a work out when we are middle aged. Activities such as doing the crossword, sudoku and other puzzle games are all helpful. Games like chess and backgammon can also help to increase brain power. The brain is like any other muscle. It will shrivel with lack of use. Set yourself challenges. Learn a new skill such as a new language. Children are on hand to teach complex computer games to the young at heart. Some people believe that diet is also an important factor and fish oil is recommended. A school in the UK recently conducted an experiment. They got permission from the parents to give fish oil tablets to the students. The teachers reported a remarkable improvement in the alertness and standard of work from those taking the tablets. That doesn't explain why fish have a three minute memory! The brain can't be expected to do its job if the body isn't receiving the sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. We are bound to be sluggish if we constantly fill ourselves with fast food. Exercise is important too if you want to increase brain power. Mind and body working together is the best way to keep the brain ticking.

Making It Meaningful
Do you feel a sense of absolute awe and wonder with your life? Does your life flow effortlessly with synchronicity and abundance? Do you feel you are aligned with your purpose and feel fulfilled, completely happy and at peace? If not, why not? You already know the answers lie within you. You have a sense of being guided to fulfill your life purpose don't you? Otherwise why would you be reading this? Your Spirit is guiding you to fully realize who you are and why you were born so that you can fulfill the purpose of your existence. Once you realize that there is something to be realized, your realization has begun. The fact that you are reading this indicates that you have already awakened your consciousness and are being guided. But being guided to what? Each of us is being given the opportunity to connect with the part of us that already knows why we were born by acknowledging the volition that compels you to read these words. The more you get in touch with that, the more connected your mind will be with your Self. To the degree we connect with this inner knowing, we live a life of prosperity, happiness and peace. I have observed this in literally thousands of cases over the past twenty years. Virtually everyone who learns the tools and practices them finds greater prosperity, happiness and peace. Everyone. You find meaning in life when you find your Self. Self-realization is the key. What keeps people from this enlightened state is what their mind does. The mind resists. This is the test. It resists making the commitment to the practice, it resists going beyond what is already known, it resists help, it becomes fearful, prideful, distracted. When you come to the point in the evolution of your consciousness that you make the commitment to full self-realization everything in your life shifts. The doors of opportunity open up for you. The universe supports you. The Divine enters into your life in ways that appear miraculous and your heart is filled with love, peace and joy. I see this every day, I am watching thousands of people enlighten. I am hoping that you will join us and enter into this Kingdom of Heaven that lies within. I welcome you into this present moment. Close your eyes and connect with what you are feeling. I will meet you there. From the heart, Steven
