Success in its broadest meaning is not limited to only monetary and material possessions. It reveals as being plentiful in countless and several forms in life and nature.
The universal spirit of consciousness, craves to continuously manifest and express itself; this power likewise expresses its longing to demonstrate success, which is naturally wanting to develop, to grow and become bigger and stronger.
However, many realize this longing and natural inclination for growth repressed in them, because of negative thinking , unconstructive programming, and not having enough faith in their abilities and themselves.
Every individual has dual natures. One wants the self to move forward while the other feels like pulling back. The one nature that one concentrates and cultivates on determines what one is at the final end, as both natures tries to hold and to be in control.
One’s “will” resolves the issue alone. An individual by one utmost attempt of the “will” can change one’s whole vocation and accomplish miracles. Which is why having an open mind is very significant.
One having a closed mind grasps to a concept without much concern for evidence. They might have even reached at their concept without supporting material evidence. As a result, when one is presented with evidence that is contradicting to their concept, they immediately dismiss it.
Whereas one having an open mind before reaching any conclusion, considers first the many evidences approving or disapproving the many interpretations of the concept. They do not just gather information. Their concern encourages them to weigh what they have learned and work towards reaching a decision or conclusion based on facts and evidences.
An open mind allows one to magnetize opportunities and insist and continue on following opportunities, regardless of how small they appear. An open mind is open to all opportunities and possibilities, big or small.
A closed mind however, is stubborn, wanting what the mind envisions without any delay and wanting it as exactly as what the mind perceived it to be, not willing to accept or try something else in its place, when that which the mind has envisioned can not be accomplished or reached.
When one closes his mind and becomes stubborn, one in essence tells his higher self, including the “powers of the universe” that one is not eager to mature and encounter new things, so then there will be no progress and no transformation and things in one’s life will never have a chance to improve.
Whatever the mind can envision, the mind can create. What the mind sees, believes feels and thinks are all conveyed to the subconscious mind that then works along with the universal forces and establishes your reality centered on the visualization of the conscious mind.
Bear in mind though, that it is not sufficient to merely imagine and hope it materializes. Having the power to imagine means also having the power and the capability to work on it to achieve it.
You can achieve it when you open up your mind to success and get rid of limiting thoughts. As to how restricted your life may be and what the circumstances present you at the moment does not really matter, because when you decide to change your attitudes and thoughts, and begin to think without notable limitations, your life’s direction will begin to change.
Focus on possibilities, rather than limitations and expand your thoughts to what is that you believe as yourself.
Here are guidelines on how to program your thoughts for success:
1. Continuously and abundantly display images of your “model” persons, whom you want to become, and things that you want to accomplish. Read magazines containing stories and pictures of lives that you wish to attain.
2. Read autobiographies of successful people. Constantly read self-progress materials packed with examples and ideas of women and men who had set goals, overcome hardships and misfortunes and accomplished what they aimed for in the end.
3. Always affirm yourself. In each undertaking, take the time to focus, “close your eyes” and set a clear mental image of the outcome. Then repeatedly say and claim that you have already achieved it.
4. Nourish your mind with positive thoughts before sleeping, after waking up, at lunch break, anytime. Do not give a chance for negative thoughts to enter into your mind.
Thoughts hold great power. Be conscious of the thoughts that comes into your mind; let the positive in, never entertain the negative. Open up your mind to possibilities and never be afraid to try; if you fail, take it as an opportunity that you have learned so much from failing and try again.

Unresolved Grief
At some point in our lives, each of us faces the loss of someone or something dear to us. The grief that follows such a loss can seem unbearable. Grief is the emotional suffering we feel after a loss.
The death of a loved one, a divorce, or even the end of a way of life like a job loss or moving to a new area are all types of loss that require grieving.
Grief is a strong very personal emotion. Only the person who has been overwhelmed by a life changing event understands that grieving is a process and there are no time limits attached.
Grief is a misunderstood emotion that needs to be more in the forefront of possible reasons why someone is having problems dealing and or coping with life.
I have found that in most cases where stress and anxiety or even addictions are an issue, unresolved grief is usually at the root of the problem.

Attitude in Positive Thinking and Self Talk
To achieve success we need to have a positive attitude. We can achieve this by using positive thinking and self-talk. People who succeed need to think positive and tell themselves that they can do it.
Talk to yourself through affirmations. Always stay positive and believe, believe, believe. The Laws of Attraction and Abundance are there for everyone. It is no secret that we create our own circumstances in life by the choices we make. Our choices are fueled by our thoughts.
The Law of Attraction had taken on a life of its own in the world of personal development. The best thing to come out of the “Secret” revelation was that it caused people to think about and have a new respect for the power of their own mind. Knowing about the Laws is not enough, knowing how to take full advantage is the real key to living the life you desire.
If you really think that Ask, Believe and Receive is the formula for success, you will grow old waiting for your dreams to come true. If the Law of Attraction is going to work you must take control of your thoughts and by that I mean you must be diligent to keep the positive in and the negative out.
Being positive and telling yourself that you can do something like reaching that big dream you have for the future will change your attitude and make those dreams come true. Tell yourself that you can do it instead of thinking negative and let your self-think that the dream is too big you’ll never make it that far. This is called affirmatives, which bring nice rewards.
If we think about negative things, our mind will talk us right out of doing something especially if it seems scary. Don’ pay attention to those negative notions; jump in there by thinking positive, like “I can do this.”
• Don’t be afraid to give to others. The Law of Attraction states that you get back what you give out.
• Be clear about what you want. Talk about it. Keep it in the forefront of your mind and never lose sight of it.
• Believe it is possible and do your part to take the actions necessary to make it so.
Our attitudes depend on how we are thinking. If we think negative thoughts, we will be unhappy. When we are happy, thinking positive things, our attitude will be happy and we in turn can be happier around others as well as ourselves. We have to be happy with our self in order to have a good attitude on life.
No matter what we do in this life, success depends on the resources and commitment we bring to the task.
If you haven’t already made of list of dreams and goals, you want than do that right now. Make your list of dreams and goals knowing that you will have to work in order to achieve them. While you are doing this, use the power of your mind to stay positive. You will only sabotage yourself if somewhere in the back of your mind your are thinking negative things like “I’ll never be able to get this dream” or “good thing never happen to me.”
Feel like a new person with an attitude adjustment; remember that if your thinking negative than that is how you’re going to feel. Positive thinking and self-talk will make you think happy giving you better health as well.
Thinking happy things by positive thinking will get you a long ways towards attracting good things to your life.
Relieving stress by thinking positive things will help you prevent health problems. Stress can and will cause you high blood pressure, heart diseases, strokes and high cholesterol. Start relieving stress with positive thinking and self-talk.

Removing Obstacles with Positive Thinking
How do we withstand life's challenges without enduring stress? The truth is, we don’t.
Life is ever changing and the world we live in gets more and more complex every day.
Everywhere you look there are people struggling for new ways to reduce stress and to remove the difficulties and obstacles that stand between them and success.
One of the best methods and means to remove stress is exercising daily. Go for a walk; ride your bike around the block or play a sport. Whatever you decide to do, while you are doing it, take a moment to be grateful for your surroundings. The roof over your head, the flowers on the side of the road or the grass beneath your feet and of the many day to day things we usually take for granted. This small exercise will heighten your sense of awareness and take the edge off the problems of the day.
Whatever adversity or situation you may be dealing with at the moment, rest assured there are solutions to your problems. The first step to removing any barriers and the most important thing you can do is get out of your own way.
Take time to sit down and evaluate your brain. Look at your situation and see if you can find a solution. See if you can locate the problem and alleviate it. Evaluate how you are perceiving the problem and make a determination as to whether you have any control over the situation. In other words, talk to yourself and analyze the problem then act accordingly.
It's a proven fact that people often make allowance and simply accept stress because they believe it comes with the territory.
Our stress, much like our suffering is self imposed.
Make a commitment to your future. Get out of your own way.

Happiness is a choice; the choice is yours!
Most of us are either feeling relatively happy or unhappy from moment to moment, and we see only one not the other. Some people would rather be certain they are miserable than risk being happy. But the majority of us are all searching for happiness without sorrow, joy without bounds and an inner peace that surpasses all understanding. However, we first have to seek and destroy the unwanted and unnecessary baggage that wears us down. I prefer to call it “Take Out the Trash”.
We are all born with an innate ability to let go. Infants and small children do it effortlessly. Because this ability was not under our conscious control, over time we forget how to do it and we live our lives by internalizing every fear, every anxiety and every hurt we have ever experienced. We stack it and pack it and carry it with us. We become overwhelmed with grief, resentment, anger and frustration.
I think it is fair to say that most people believe that life experiences are a function of what happens around them. But the fact is true life experiences are a function of how we relate to what happens. Each person’s outer world is a reflection of their inner thoughts and ideas.
Only you can decide what reaction you have to the events of your life. You choose if you see something as an opportunity to show your true colors, or a sign that you should just give up, be angry, frustrated, happy or sad.
No one makes us happy or scared, excited or sad. Our emotions don’t happen to us, we decide how we feel. In fact, our thoughts, emotions and behaviors are the only things we really do control in our lives. We can always change what we think feel or do, but first we have to accept where we are and own the experience. After all we alone created the experience.
You cannot resolve sadness you deny, you cannot forgive yourself for a behavior you will not admit to or change any part of you that you insist does not exist. To change and grow, first accept the reality of who you are.
No matter what is going on in your life, no matter how you feel in response to a specific experience, circumstance, situation or memory, there is always one thing you can do. In any situation regardless of the mitigating factors, you can decide that instead of fighting and resisting whatever is going on in your life, you can make peace with it, embrace it and learn from it.
Try not to live you life imprisoned in your past or fixated on your future. Learn to exist in the present moment and choose to be happy. Concentrate on the here and now—it is your life, participate in it!
Work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt and dance like nobody’s watching.
