The fact is, millions of Americans are making their dreams come true and are living an extraordinary life in the process. If they can do it and I can do it, so can you.
I'll give you the amazing secrets that people use to create the life of their dreams. I will share something that might be the missing link for you. I urge you not to dismiss what I'm going to write because it seems too simple. It is simple. It's as simple as 123.
The first amazing secret to creating an extraordinary life-is to have a Dream. Your dream is the road map to your future. Living without a dream is like traveling to a strange city without a map. All you have to do is hold on to your dream, and believe with absolute certainty that you can achieve it regardless of your current circumstances.
There is a quote that I keep in my office, which reads, "Never let reality get in the way of your dreams." So, no matter what is really going on in your life just stay focused on your dreams. Stay focused on what you want, not on what you don't want.
If you have more month at the end of your money, so what. Don't dwell on it. All that does is attract more if to you. Don't even think about it. Do what you can to earn the money while always keeping your thoughts on your dream or goal.
The second amazing secret to creating an extraordinary life is Purpose. I conduct a powerful Life Purpose seminar, which helps people discover their natural talents and purpose. Some people are moved to tears when they finally discover their purpose. They were able to fill a huge void that had been empty all their lives. Imagine the feeling!
Your purpose is what excites you. It gives you meaning. It gives you that deep inner sense of ecstasy that you only feel when you're doing something that you truly love to do.
Part of my mission is to inspire and educate people to look inside themselves and find their greatness. Their greatness was always there, just waiting to be discovered.
The third amazing secret to creating an extraordinary life-is Service. Nothing you do will ever make you happy until you are giving the world your natural talents and gifts. There are people, creatures, or parts of the planet that are waiting only for you and they will not get it until you give it.
The fourth amazing secret to creating an extraordinary life-is the Law of Attraction. This is one of the most powerful laws of the Universe. It's sad that so many people are not even aware of it. This means they are not aware of the absolute genius that lies inside of them. The Law of Attraction works just like a magnet. Our thoughts are energy and we attract and are attracted to the people, opportunities, and situations that are in harmony with what we focus our attention on.
You can have an extraordinary life.
This is my wish for you: I want you to imagine driving your dream car, living in your dream house with your dream partner, and your dream children, or your dream of no children.
And I want you to imagine working in your dream career or business, fully contributing to the planet, having the healthy and fit body that you know is possible for you. Imagine what it feels like to have total spiritual fulfillment. Picture yourself attracting success and money like a magnet.
What would you do if you could make all of your dreams come true? This is not only possible, but it is guaranteed? if you know and apply the amazing secrets to creating an extraordinary life.
Aim High!
Some people believe that negative thoughts are the biggest roadblock to positive thinking. However, that's not entirely true. The greatest enemy of positive thinking is making excuses. On the surface, excuses appear harmless. If you stop to think about it, excuses can be quite harmful as they can prevent us from growing and achieving our desires.
When you make an excuse, you are usually allowing fear to dictate your choices. I am not saying you should do things that you don't want to do. What I am saying is not to let your fear of something prevent you from doing something else you would really enjoy. For instance, when we fear things such as crowds, flying, or public speaking, we make excuses as to why we can't attend an event, go on a trip, or take that new job. By not conquering these fears, we deprive ourselves of many great experiences. We begin making excuses and soon, we don't even realize we're doing it.
Excuses can make becoming a positive thinker very difficult. If you are someone who is accustomed to making excuses, then you will have a hard time becoming a positive thinker unless you stop making excuses.
Excuses can make you believe you are doing something positive when you are not. An excuse is just a negative thought in disguise. If your excuses are preventing you from living the life you truly desire, how can this be positive?
How many of these excuses have you used?
? I don't have enough time
? I'm too old
? It would take too long
? I'm too young
? I'm too fat
? I don't like crowds
? I'm afraid to fly
? I don't look good in a bathing suit
? I don't have enough money
? I don't have anything to wear
? I don't want to get hurt
? I don't have the right connections
? Blah, blah, blah
The list goes on. Don't wait for some specific thing to happen before you begin living your life. I remember once telling my Mother that I didn't like to go swimming anymore because I didn't like the way I looked in my bathing suit. ?Don't be silly,? she replied. ?Life is too short to let it pass you by. Now go and put on your bathing suit and get outside and enjoy the pool.? That was great advice. So make the time, put on that bathing suit, and take that vacation. Life isn't a dress rehearsal.
Conquer your fears! Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race, has an excellent and very inspiring book titled NOW ? No Opportunity Wasted. It begins when Phil is 19 years old and narrowly escapes the jaws of death while diving inside a sunken shipwreck. After being given a second chance at life, Phil was committed to living every day to the fullest and never letting an opportunity pass him by.
The book is co-authored by wordsmith Warren Berger, who tells Phil's story in a relatable and entertaining manner. An entire chapter is devoted to getting rid of excuses and another to facing your fears. I highly recommend this empowering book.
What about the excuses you give others? If you have fallen into this pattern, then stop. Assume responsibility and just tell the truth.
In order to get what you want out of life you have to get rid of the excuses. Think about why you are making a particular excuse. What do you fear and what benefit does this excuse have?
Benjamin Franklin said, ?He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.? Since we improve at whatever we practice, this makes sense.
You can be good at making excuses or good at something more rewarding. The choice is yours.
