Optimize The Law of Karma .

03/30/2011

 Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. What we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success. 

I will put the Law of Karma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. Today I will witness the choices I make in each moment. And in the mere witnessing of these choices, I will bring them to my conscious awareness. I will know that the best way to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.
2. Whenever I make a choice, I will ask myself two questions: "What are the consequences of this choice that I'm making?" and "Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and also to those who are affected by this choice?"
3. I will then ask my heart for guidance and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, I will plunge ahead with abandon. If the choice feels uncomfortable, I will pause and see the consequences of my action with my inner vision. This guidance will enable me to make spontaneously correct choices for myself and for all those around me.

Focus on the positive things in your life.

05/8/15

Be grateful for all that you have, for the life you have been given, for your family and friends, your job, and your home. Be thankful and give thanks for the abundance and prosperity that the Universe  blesses upon you each and every day.

Feel the appreciation, happiness, and gratefulness for all that surrounds you and all that is within you.

Imagine having the life that you have always wanted. Then feel inside those feelings that you would have if you were already experiencing all that you desire. Combine that with these feelings of gratitude now for what you do have.

Focus on the positive things in your life. Release the negative thoughts, feeling, and actions. Release those feelings, the people and the things that bring you down or affect you negatively in anyway or at least set boundaries for yourself.

Live your life as if you already have the things that you desire. How? By believing and expressing yourself as if you had them or are living your dreams.

Take a few moments each day to meditate – seeing yourself in that beautiful house, with the mate of your dreams, living with a smile in your heart and on your face every day.

Accept those times that may not feel so gracious and look for the silver lining in that rain cloud.

Optimize Creating Oneself .

05/5/15

When children learn that giving is more rewarding than taking; when they learn that they can't control everything, but they are masters of their own souls; when they learn to accept people whose difference they fear, and that pleasure is found in the power in helping others; when they learn that the value of one's life is best measured not by possession acquired, but by wisdom shared, hope inspired, tears wiped, and hearts touched; when they learn that happiness and lasting contentment are not to be found in what a person has, but in what he or she is; when they learn to withhold judgment of people, knowing that everyone is blessed with good and bad qualities; when they learn that every person has been given the gift of a unique self and the purpose of life is to share the very best of that gift with the world. . . . When children learn these ideals, they will no longer be children--they will be blessings to those who know them, and worthy models for all the world's children.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature,
to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.

"Life is a do-it-yourself project--do it to the best of your ability."

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.  He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.  He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.  They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor.  The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work.  He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials.  It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter.  "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." 

What a shock!  What a shame!  If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.  Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us.  We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less  than the best.  At important points we do not give the job our best effort.  Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built.  If we had realized, we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter.  Think of your life as the house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board or erect a wall, build wisely.  It is the only life you will ever build.  Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.

The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project--do it to the best of your ability."

Humility is the surest sign of strength.

05/7/15

With humility comes the willingness to stop trying to control or change
other people or life situations or events ostensibly 'for their own good'.
To be a committed spiritual seeker, it is necessary to relinquish the desire
to be 'right' or of imaginary value to society.  In fact, nobody's ego or
belief systems are of any value to society at all.  The world is neither good
nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification because
its appearance is only a projection of one's own mind.  No such world exists.

David R. Hawkins http://ipasdiscount.com/cp2/?id=78640&tid=

When you practice humility, you want to become as accomplished and
evolved as you can possibly be, yet you are willing to submit to the
expertise of others to do so. You understand the scope of your aptitudes
yet you choose to eradicate arrogance from your attitude, and you can
distinguish the value you possess as an individual while still acting in the interests
of your fellow human beings. Humility, simply put, is a form of balance
in which you can celebrate your own worth while sincerely believing
that every other person on the planet is just as worthy as you.

Xooma Worldwide Review - Is Xooma Worldwide Legit?

Xooma Worldwide, as with other potential big network marketing money-making opportunities, can make you weak in the knees with anticipation just as much as it leaves you light-headed with anxiety. Discover this powerful review of Xooma Worldwide's products and compensation plan so you can make a choice that is best for your future.

Products:

Xooma Worldwide is a home-based business network marketing program that furnishes its sellers with a variety of drinks.

Compensation Plan:

Once someone enters the network as a distributor of these products, there are quite a few options for money-making. In fact, there are 9 types of streams and it's possible to earn an income all the way down to 8 downline levels. That's pretty impressive considering it only costs as little as about $10 to join when they aren't running a promotion. Frankly, the most cost-effective starter kit is the $25 one - since at this entry level one can begin earning a commission straight away and the distributor also gets an entire case of product.

To conduct a truly unbiased Xooma Worldwide review, it's important to take a cold, hard look at the compensation plan. As with any other network marketing scheme, Xooma Worldwide distributors will need to anticipate having to work long and hard to build up a network, sales volume, a downline and to pay back the company for providing the initial products, services and support.

That being said, the Xooma Worldwide compensation plan isn't half bad. For example, if a distributor has, say, a total sales gross of roughly $10k per month, depending on the size and scope of their downlines, they can rake in anywhere between 3% and 13% of the gross sales. Bonuses are also a large piece of the Xooma Worldwide compensation plan puzzle. For those distributors who choose to stick it out, brand loyalty is something they'll soon enjoy as well, since Xooma Worldwide is a product consumers tend to consume for a long period of time.

Critical Evaluation For Your Success

Xooma Worldwide is a great company and you definitely have potential building this business just like you would any business. It is important to set realistic expectations when working with this business model. In addition it is important to evaluate your options.

However, it is important to note that even though the compensation plan is strong statistically in the MLM and network marketing industry 97% of distributors drop out within 3-6 months. This is an industry statistic. It is like trying to fill a leaking bucket by continuously replacing distributors. It feels like you cannot get ahead. That is why the majority of networkers haven't been able to build a solid income. They are relying on a team and a downline to consistently purchase products.

While over time a successful network marketer can automate nearly all of their business dealings, this process can take years of manual labor. The desire to work from home is not enough. As any successful network marketer will tell you, none of their success came without hard work and sacrifice.

Importantly it is important that when choosing a business you have several components working in your favor including the following: a compensation plan that pays you upfront in addition to residual income so you do not have to rely on building a downline, a proven marketing system that you can use to generate your own leads, a marketing system that teaches you the skill set of internet marketing, proven products and most importantly a top earner that is generating the income you desire.

Health Enhancement Products Updates shareholders

Image via Wikipedia

SCOTTSDALE, AZ-
-(Marketwire - March 21, 2011) - Health Enhancement Products, Inc. (OTCBB: HEPI) today outlined recent developments within the company in an effort to keep shareholders informed of its progress. 

HEPI has been notified by its exclusive distributor, Xooma, that it has re-branded HEPI's ProAlgaZyme® product as "Kardiaxyme." (Xooma assumed Zus' rights and obligations under the distribution agreement between HEPI and Zus).Xooma plans to officially launch the newly branded product with its impressive new packaging within the next 45 days. Individuals who wish to purchase the product now can do so by contacting Xooma at www.kardiaxyme.com.Xooma has already completed a successful pre-launch of the Kardiaxyme product to a select group of distributors. Based on the results of this pre-launch, Xooma has requested that HEPI expand its production to a level that is more than twenty times HEPI's previous capacity. The company is hopeful that the expected increase in orders from Xooma will result in much improved operating cash flows.

HEPI recently announced the leasing of a new facility which it intends to use for its headquarters and production space. HEPI's objectives in seeking new space were threefold.First, the company needed a space that it could more easily convert into a GMP (good manufacturing practice) compliant facility.Secondly, the company was seeking a more efficient manufacturing space that could help it overcome production challenges.Thirdly, there was a desire to reduce operating expenses, if possible.The company believes that the new space meets all of the above objectives.

HEPI's Research and Development efforts have been directed toward actively pursuing an analysis of PAZ™ to try and identify the "class of compounds," and the "active ingredient," to identify the single molecule or molecules, if possible, responsible for the potential cholesterol benefits the company's testing has identified.Substantial time, money, and effort have been expended in this regard.The company believes that it is making substantial progress towards achieving these hoped for results, but more investigation is needed. The company plans to update shareholders as the identification process is completed.

John Gorman, HEPI Executive Vice President of Operations, commented, "We are pleased that we now have a facility that with appropriate improvements can accommodate production of our product on a mass scale. Xooma will be an excellent marketing partner as they now have first-hand experience when discussing our product." Mr. Gorman concluded, "Moving into our new facility will allow us to more fully automate everything from growing, harvesting, filtering and bottling in a straight line production. It marks another important milestone in allowing us to finally begin the process of monetizing our valuable asset."

Walk your path one step at a time .

05/5/15

Life's circumstances are not always what you might wish them to be.The pattern of life does not necessarily go as you plan.Beyond any understanding , you may at times be led in different directions that you never imagined , dreamed,or designed.Yet if you have never put any effort into choosing a path , or tried to carry out your dream , then perhaps you would have no direction at all.

Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction your life has taken , accept the fact that there is a path before you now.Shake off the ''why's'' and ''what if's'' ,and rid yourself of confusion.Whatever was- is in the past.Whatever is - is what's important.The past is a brief reflection.The future is yet to be realized.Today is here.

Walk your path one step at a time - with courage , faith , and determination.Keep your head up , and cast your dreams to the stars.Soon your steps will become firm and your footing will be solid again.A path that you never imagined will become the most comfortable direction you could have ever hoped to follow.

Keep your belief in yourself and walk into your new journey.You will find it magnificent , spectacular , and beyond your wildest imaginings.

We all want life to be amazing and filled with joy and we are all ways looking for the next best thing.But are we all doing what it takes to have an amazing and joyful life.Sometimes you have to think out side the box of your normal everyday life and make goals that are reachable and then take the small steps to get to the goals.And when life is tuff like it all ways is don't get disengage with what you want in life stay positive and think positive when you do this nothing can get in your way.

ProAlgaZyme Algae infusion (PAX) is now known as Kardiaxyme from Xooma

Image via Wikipedia

According to the American Heart Association, an estimated 102 million adults in the U.S. qualify as having high blood cholesterol. From a supplement standpoint, fiber, phytosterols and fish oil are the most go-to natural products for cholesterol support, though traditional therapy typically includes extra attention to diet and exercise in combination with aspirin or statin therapy.

For the last two years, Scottsdale, AZ-based Health Enhancement Products, Inc. (HEPI) has been studying the cholesterol-lowering effectiveness of its naturally-derived ingredient called ProAlgazyme and has so far enjoyed very promising results.

ProAlgaZyme Algae infusion (PAX) is a liquid product produced from algae grown in 100% distilled water. The liquid in which the algae are grown is drawn off, filtered, tested and bottled as ProAlgaZyme. The product is made from algae but does not contain algae. According to HEPI, PAX has demonstrated the ability to support heart health, immune defense, blood sugar maintenance, weight management and healthy inflammation response.

But it’s been the product’s ability to lower LDL cholesterol that has garnered the most noteworthy attention. In 2009, researchers at Wayne State University’s Department of Nutrition and Food Science put the product through clinical paces and found it had the capacity to lower LDL cholesterol while raising HDL cholesterol in animal subjects.

Specifically, results indicated that test subjects demonstrated a “31% decrease in LDL cholesterol” with “no significant impact on triglycerides,” as well as a “3% decrease in total cholesterol”—all without any observed adverse effects.

Buoyed by the positive findings, HEPI set out to identify and isolate the active cholesterol agents, which were intermingled with thousands of biological components, including numerous proteins. Earlier this year, HEPI announced that its work was successful, and subsequently filed a protective patent application.

In a HEPI Power Point presentation encapsulating ProAlgazyme, Dr. Fazlul H. Sarkar, professor of Pathology at Wayne State University School of Medicine’s Karmanos Cancer Institute, stated that ProAlgazyme and Platelet factor-4 (PF4), an amino acid protein, “significantly and beneficially change the rate of synthesis of key proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism.” He further added that “Oral administration of ProAlgaZyme & PF4 is highly effective, and well-suited as a nutritional supplement or as the foundation for development of novel drugs.”

HEPI is optimistic that ProAlgazyme is poised for success in the realm of products that provide support for healthy cholesterol. The company said its product is in a unique position because its efficacy has already been proven not just in animals but also in humans.

To further cement the confidence in ProAlgazyme, HEPI has also prepared a GRAS panel review for submission to FDA, and has not ruled out pursuing the FDA’s Qualified Health Claims. The company also hasn’t ruled out the idea that the ProAlgazyme’s active cholesterol-regulating agent could be a suitable pharmaceutical candidate, however the financing and research involved in that type of endeavor is a weight task that the company is not yet ready to pursue.

“We are approaching the food ingredient and nutraceutical markets with a truly unique offering—a portfolio of bioactive compounds well-suited as ingredients or supplements, tailored to desired health attributes,” the company said. “On the horizon are other applications, ranging from pre-surgical treatments to medicinal foods and the promise of unique health and wellness therapies.

If you wish abundance, appreciate life.

There are six principles of abundant living which, when woven together,
produce a tapestry of contentment that wraps us in inner peace,
well-being, happiness, and a sense of security.  First there is gratitude.
When we do a mental and spiritual inventory of all that we have, we realize
that we are very rich indeed.  Gratitude gives way to simplicity--the desire
to clear out, pare down, and realize the essentials of what we need to live
truly well.  Simplicity brings with it order, both internally and externally.
A sense of order in our life brings us harmony.  Harmony provides us with the
inner peace we need to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us each day,
and beauty opens us to joy.  But just as with any beautiful needlepoint
tapestry, it is difficult to see where one stitch ends and another beings.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

People individually and collectively are entitled to life in all abundance.
El Dorado, a country rich beyond all precedent in gold and jewels, lies
at every person's door.  Your bonanza lies under your feet.  Your luck is
already at hand.  All is within; nothing is without.

The inner happiness .

Joy is not in things; joy is in us. — Benjamin Franklin

Success Intelligence is about cultivating inner happiness. It is knowing that happiness is not an it; it is a way of being. In interviews about my work with The Happiness Project I am often asked to give a definition of happiness. I have several. One is that happiness is who you are, minus your neurosis. In other words, happiness is your original state minus the belief that happiness has to be bought, or minus the fear that happiness is somewhere else. Inner happiness is a release from foolish external conditioning and a return to divine saneness.

The inner happiness I refer to does not have to be manufactured or produced. Nothing needs to happen first in order for this inner happiness to exist. Inner happiness— like inner wisdom—is wrapped up inside of you already. The great thing about inner happiness is that there isn’t anyone who doesn’t already have it.

Success Intelligence recognizes the value of happiness. It knows happiness is an important goal because happiness is a great teacher. The more you learn about happiness, the better you can distinguish between deep joy and fleeting pleasures. True happiness is an inner guide that teaches a person how to live well. In particular, happiness can teach a person a lot about success. True happiness is valuable because, for example, it is a sign of authenticity, and it is a way of knowing you are on purpose.

Happiness also brings out the best in us. When we are happy we relate better with others. We feel more connected, we are less afraid, and we are more confident. Our inner happiness is attractive, literally, in that it attracts happy relationships. When we are happy we also work better. Occupational psychology research confirms that if you can say “I am happy in my work,” you are likely to be more productive, more creative, and more successful and experience less stress, less depression, and less mental illness. True happiness enables us to be more successful.

Zoom Your Way to Wellness With Xooma Healthy Water By J Mitchell

Image via Wikipedia

Today, when people have gone to be more conscious of their health has not only been eating healthy but has discovered to drink healthy too. The Xooma healthy water product line has been promoting alkaline drinking water to be able to reap the best benefits water can bring. This is one way to be able to drink healthy and feel healthy as well.

Alkaline water has become popular these days, though purchasing them may be quite costly and as they come in bottles, may be a bit inconvenient. The xooma healthy water has become popular as it promotes the notion of being able to transform our regular drinking water to alkaline water with just one sachet. To be able to use this, one would simply need to drop a sachet of the product to about 24 ounces of pure drinking water, shake it for a few seconds until it dissolves and let steep for about five minutes or so for the process to complete prior to drinking. This would immediately turn the regular 7.0 ph level of the water to about 9.9 pH. This would in turn the water from a neutral ph balance to a more alkaline standard.

The use of xooma healthy water will be able to benefit the person drinking with the healthy rewards that alkaline water can provide. Among the benefits one can get from ingesting alkaline water is the good level of blood pressure and blood sugar, and to be able to neutralize any harmful acids possibly entering the body which can lead to various medical conditions.

Perspective is one of the most important aspects of our lives.

05/4/15

 

''We win half the battle when we make up our minds
to take the world as we find it, including the thorns.'' Orison Swett Marden

IT'S NOT ENOUGH. . .

It's not enough to have a dream,
Unless you're willing to pursue it.

It's not enough to know what's right,
Unless you're strong enough to do it.

It's not enough to learn the truth,
Unless you also learn to live it.

It's not enough to reach for love,
Unless you care enough to give it.

Perspective is one of the most important aspects of our lives.  How we see things
determines more of our happiness our unhappiness, positive or negative feelings, than
we might ever imagine.  One person's undefeatable obstacle is another person's
stumbling block; what I see as an insult another person may see as a funny joke.
The ways in which we react to things are usually a reflection of how we've seen them.

Tell yourself that you have a good life, count your blessings, and learn to stay positive no matter what.

Count your blessings at the end of every day – don’t focus on the problems you’ve faced that day; rather, think of all the good things that happened and the happiness they gave you.

 Think of others rather than yourself – when you do things, even the smallest favors, for other people who mean something to you, you feel good about yourself.

 Be proactive rather than reactive – instead of fretting over a problem and letting it stress you out, focus on how to resolve quickly and effectively. When your mind is busy trying to find a solution, you stop feeling sorry for yourself and start thinking positively.

Don’t allow your mind to remain idle – it may be clichéd, but it’s also true that an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. So stay busy and keep doing something or the other to prevent negative thoughts from creeping in.

 Get an hour of exercise every day – even a brisk walk in the morning or evening will do your mental health a world of good.

  Allow yourself some “me” time – set aside some time every day or every few days for yourself when you get to choose what you want to do; read a book, listen to music, catch up with friends, or just laze around. When your soul is nourished, you find that positive

energy flows.

 Stop negative thoughts before they form completely – if you find yourself becoming depressed because your mind is taking a negative bent, stop those thoughts in their tracks and start consciously thinking of positive things.

 Spend time with people who love you and make you feel good about yourself– quality relationships make life worth living.

 Anytime you feel that the weight of your burden is hard to bear, talk to a friend or someone with a sympathetic ear – even if they cannot do anything to help you out, just the fact that you have someone on your side is uplifting enough.

 And finally, look around you before you start to feel sorry for yourself – there are

people in situations that are a hundred times worse than yours, yet they manage to get through each day.

Tell yourself that you have a good life, count your blessings, and learn to stay positive no matter what.

"Do I want to be "right"--or do I want to be happy?"

5/19/15

One of the most important questions you can ever ask yourself is, "Do I want to be "right"--or do I want to be happy?"  Many times, the two are mutually exclusive!

Being right, defending our positions, takes an enormous amount of mental energy and often alienates us from the people in our lives.  Needing to be right--or needing someone else to be wrong--encourages others to become defensive, and puts pressure on us to keep defending.  Yet, many of us (me, too, at times) spend a great deal of time and energy attempting to prove (or point out) that we are right--and/or others are wrong.  Many people, consciously or unconsciously, believe that it's somehow their job to show others how their positions, statements, and points of view are incorrect, and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow appreciate it, or at least learn something.  Wrong!

Think about it.  Have you ever been corrected by someone and said to the person who was trying to be right, "Thank you so much for showing me that I'm wrong and you're right.  Now I see it.  Boy, you're great!"  Or, has anyone you know ever thanked you (or even agreed with you) when you corrected them, or made yourself "right" at their expense?  Of course not.  The truth is, all of us hate to be corrected.  We all want our positions to be respected and understood by others.  Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest desires of the human heart.  And those who learn to listen are the most loved and respected.  Those who are in the habit of correcting others are often resented and avoided.

It's not that it's never appropriate to be right--sometimes you genuinely need to be or want to be.  Perhaps there are certain philosophical positions that you don't want to budge on such as when you hear a racist comment.  Here, it's important to speak your mind.  Usually, however, it's just your ego creeping in and ruining an otherwise peaceful encounter--a habit of wanting or needing to be right. A wonderful, heartfelt strategy for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice allowing others the joy of being right--give them the glory.  Stop correcting.  As hard as it may be to change this habit, it's worth any effort and practice it takes.  When someone says, "I really feel it's important to. . . " rather than jumping in and saying, "No, it's more important to. . . " or any of the hundreds of other forms of conversational editing, simply let it go and allow their statement to stand.  The people in your life will become less defensive and more loving.  They will appreciate you more than you could ever have dreamed possible, even if they
don't exactly know why.  You'll discover the joy of participating in and witnessing other people's happiness, which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos.  You don't have to sacrifice your deepest philosophical truths or most heartfelt opinions, but, starting today, let others be "right," most of the time!

High good cholesterol linked to long life in men

Image via Wikipedia

CNews World NEW YORK: Men who reach their 85th birthdays tended to have high levels of good cholesterol while in their 60s, a new study says.

Researchers found that men with the highest good (HDL) cholesterol were 28 percent less likely to die before they reached 85, compared to men in the lowest HDL group.

This paper, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, adds to the evidence that HDL is important for a long life, said Dr. Nir Barzilai, who heads the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and was not part of the study.

However, “we always have to remember that it”s an association,” and it does not mean that having high HDL increases life span, he said.

About 12 million men suffered from heart disease and stroke in 2006, but high levels of HDL cholesterol may reduce the risks, according to the American Heart Association.

Low levels of HDL, less than 40 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) of blood for men, are known to increase the risk of heart disease, according to the heart association.

The researchers, from the Massachusetts Veterans Epidemiology and Research Information Center in Boston, looked at the medical records of about 650 veterans when they were around 65 years old, then grouped them based on HDL levels.

Starting with low levels of 40 mg/dL, they found that for each ten mg/dL increase of HDL, the men were 14 percent less likely to have died by 85. Overall, 375 survived to that age.

Also, fewer of the men with higher HDL were overweight, and they tended not to have more than 2 drinks a day. And fewer of them had heart disease or smoked, compared to the lowest HDL group.

These other factors might have had an effect on survival, Barzilai said. However, the researchers did account for this, and still showed a link between reaching 85 and high HDL levels, he said.

“It”s difficult to change HDL levels,” Barzilai said. Exercise might raise it a few points, but it isn”t a very efficient way to improve, he said. “We need to get a drug eventually.”

Merck and Roche are both working on an HDL raising drug, he said. Pfizer stopped its research into another such drug, torcetrapib, in 2006 because people taking it along with Lipitor in a study had a higher rate of death.

The B-vitamin niacin may raise HDL levels 15 to 35 percent. However, side effects can include liver damage and increased blood sugar, according to the Mayo Clinic.

A three-month supply costs about nine dollars. Niacin is also found in dairy products, lean meats, nuts, eggs and fish.

However, it”s unclear how much raising HDL will prevent heart disease, Barzilai said, so whether drugs might improve people”s health remains to be seen. (Reuters)

Focus your mind on the good things you already have in your life.

05/20/15

Focus your mind on the good things you already have in your life.

People often wonder how to be positive in their thoughts and actions, especially when they are unhappy and unsatisfied, or when life is difficult and tough. They even find it hard to be positive when things go well. Most of them don't know how to be positive and what they need to do. Like every other subject, the know-how of how to be positive can be learned and the skill developed. It is all a matter of attitude and thinking, both of which can be changed.

If we keeping thinking the same thoughts, they will eventually tend to manifest in our world. This means that if we desire good results we have to be careful of what we think. We have to stay and think positive.

Begin by becoming aware of your thoughts, and exchanging your negative thoughts with positive ones. Substitute negativity for being
positive, thoughts about poverty with thoughts about wealth,
ignorance with understanding, disharmony with harmony and lack of freedom with freedom. Start saying, "I can", "I am able" and "it is possible".

It is our mind that creates the kind of life we live. If we think positively we will transform our life accordingly. Everything starts from within, from the most simple action to the greatest achievement. We cannot always have control over our external circumstances, but we can control our inner world of thoughts, where everything starts. We can't always control our outer universe, but we can, with some effort, control our inner universe.

You are unhappy and negative because of how you think, but you
can change the way you think. With a little work and effort you can
change how you think, and this will you automatically change your attitude, expectations, actions and reactions, which will lead to more motivation, happiness and improved life.

We get what we expect to get, therefore, begin right now to expect the very best of everything that this world has to offer - and wish the same for everyone else. There is plenty of everything in the Universe for everyone, and the Universe can create more of the good things for everyone. Don't think lack, think abundance, for you and for everyone.

Optimize your Faith and Experience .

05/20/15

You must have faith and experience in order to live life fully.  You must have faith that all of the things you expect from life are possible for you.  You must have faith that no matter what life brings you, you will be able to handle it.  You must have faith that your faith will eventually lead to good experiences. 

Experience teaches you that your faith is paying off.  Once you have had an experience, you know that you know.  When you know, you become more faithful.  Once you have an experience, it makes you want better or different experiences.  The difference between faith and experience is this:  One you must work on.  The other one works on you. 

You must work to keep your faith alive.  When you are working on faith, it may feel as if you are going against the grain.  There may be no evidence that what you believe has any validity.  Still, you must move forward faithfully, until you have the experience that will lead you to knowing.  An experience leaves a mark on your consciousness.  An experience will guide your thoughts and your actions.  An experience can open your heart to new horizons or close your heart in fear.  In the midst of an experience, you must have faith that you will ultimately reap some benefit from what you now know to be true.

It is important to know what experiences to put your faith in.  If you have an 
unpleasant experience, have faith that you will learn something new, useful or productive.  When you have a pleasant or productive experience, have faith that you can duplicate the experience and make it better.  Have faith that your mind and heart will always be open to bigger, better experiences than those you have already had. 

Until today, you may not have realized that your faith and your experiences work hand in hand.  Just for today, use your faith to create better experiences.  Use your experiences to activate a deeper sense of faith.
