Personally I have to say my life is blessed, however there are still many things I want to improve. Perhaps this is the midlife crisis people talk about. I reached 45 years of age and saw my future for the first time. Sudddenly many of my day-to-day "to do" things became unbearable. I needed to find a solution. I needed to find a way to change things in my life without destroying many of the good things I already had. Have you been there ?

I tried to think of an alternative career. I thought there had to be a better way to make money. I tried network marketing and found I just could not do it

Then I started my online studies. My PC is like an umbilical cord connecting me to my online univesity and guiding my life in all things great and positive. I wrote this article to share with anyone who is ready to read it.

I believe with all my heart, that all who come in contact with this study group will benefit in many and varied ways.

1.Improve the Lives of Others.

I read that a small donation of 2 dollars will feed a hungry child for one week. I realized that if I decided to take action and try the course for 2 weeks my action would create a positive flow of energy in the world. This simple fact blew me away.

One of my life goals is to always choose positive and loving actions. My imagination started to fire up. If this very first step it would result in one hungry child being fed for one week. I was filled with hope and anticipation of what other wonderful and positive things would come from my association with this group.

I signed up and sent the 2 dollars off with love.

When we start doing positive things in our lives we have no idea how it will affect others. We may never know or meet those who are affected by our good thoughts and deeds. Rest assured though, good follows goodness.

2. Strength and Courage.

What I'm learning through my online studies is fueling my strength and courage to be a better person and to contribute more to society.

I can feel myself becoming more self-confident.

I'm facing my fears. I'm learning to trust myself and how to elevate my standerds. Already ( and it's only been 2 weeks) I can feel the joy in my life increasing each day. I can actually feel myself growing as a person. I'm making gradual and positive changes towards a better future.

Step by step I'm walking towards my newly set goals.

I'm incredibly excited because the goals I have set are great goals that will benefit many. I know they will also bring joy into my life. There really is no way for me to tell you using the written word what's happpening in these areas. You have to be there and experience it for yourself. I really hope you do.

I know you will when your time is right.

I was searching for answers to many questions. I'm just grateful to have found a site that is teaching me the tools to build my own pathway to success as I see it to be.

3. Goals and Goal Setting

Personally I've always drifted along. Unconsciously using the one thing leads to another approach.

I thought goal setting was for executive types. I have to admit I didn't understand how to set a goal. I've never really given it any thought. I certainly didn't know how to consciously get to one even if I had one in mind. That's not to say I've never achieved success through my life because I have.

I acquired entry into one of the most challenging to get into university courses at THE best university in my country. I had the job of my choice, ready to walk into months before my graduation.

I can give you many more examples but the point I'm making here is I've managed to achieve many wonderful things with little thought of how to achieve them. Now I'm filled with excitement and anticipation that I can actually create a most amazing future through the methods of goal setting that I'm beginning to learn. I'm also excited as I feel the instruction I'm receiving is second to none.The methods used are totally in harmony with who I am. They are easy to incorporate into my day-to-day busy schedule and they make total since. I'm stunned that I've done so well with out them!

4. Provide Structure.

There are no set class times with online study.

It's great to have the study material there and available to select when I feel like it. It's also great to have really short simple and yet hightly effective daily tasks to keep me on track .

I'm beginning to feel that it's these short simple tasks that are actually making the big differences. Everything feels achievable when it's broken into small steps especially if you're like me and are already living a hectic paced life. It's easy to focus on one positive thing at a time.

5. Negative Self Talk.

Today I focused on my self-talk. I'm going through the day busy as ever and just catching my negative self talk as it comes up. I'm quickly replacing my negative talk with positive talk. So you don't have the courage to quit this safe secure job became I'm a couragous persoon who is forging ahead into new frontiers. Everything I do is successful.

Now you may think this is a bit silly but believe me if you truly want to live an empowered authentic life the life you dream of living then there will be no room in your thoughts for negative self-talk and that's just the beginning!

6.Bonus Ebooks and Audios and DVD's

I love that feeling I get when I feel I'm getting more than I paid for. Who doesn't ?! After donating 2 dollars to the Save the Children fund and completing the first 2 weeks of the course it was an easy straight forward decision to continue on with the course material. I'm hungry for the knowledge they are teaching. I've taken up all the free offers that have come my way because of my enrolement. For example: I enrolled for a free daily positive quote to flow into my email in-box each day. The Speed Reading course has improved my reading time already.

I love reading but I've always been a bit slow. Now I can read more and therefore learn more in a shorter time frame.

I love reading the ebooks and I've aiming at one each week. I love the e-conference calls. I love that I can view them after they have finished as I never seem to be home when they are happening live.

I love the audio classes and the audio/visual classes too. My bonus DVD's arrived in the mail this afternoon. I've just started viewing them. I've stopped watching rubbish shows on my TV and I've started viewing my new DVD's. I'm discovering new and exciting ways to improve my life and expand my horizons.

7.Make Money and Learn.

Another attraction for me was the possiblity that I can make an income just because I'm a student. The system is easy. Basically I'm so thrilled with the life-enhancing curriculum that I want EVERYONE to join! I know that everyone will benefit by taking the classess they have on offer. I totally believe that anyone who commits to one year study with the uni. will see remarkable positive changes in their lives.

Above all else, and apart from their own lives, the whole world will be a better place because there will be one more person living in it in a caring compassionate way. I would, in my own small way, be honored if you, the person reading this article, at least took the first step and donated the 2 doallards to the Feed the Children fund at my website. If I can add to the numbers of individual 2-dollar donations then I know I am helping in a small way. It's entirely up to you how many of the blessing you wish to give and receive from there.

8. New Ideas.

It's great to have new ideas. I have to say I'm never lacking in them. Without structure however, ideas can end up being wasted. I was finding myself in a confused state and drowning in the very ideas I was creating to try to save myself ! Ideas are much better when they can be put into action. Learning how to put them into action will give your life new meaning and dimension. One thing I learnt was that we wouldn't be given the new ideas unless we were capable of transforming them into reality.

Learning how to sift out the important, life enhancing ones from the less empowering ones is a major step forward for me. I hope you will come to learn the same things that I am learning. I'm sure my ideas are different to yours because we are obviously 2 completely different people. One of the areas I'm working with at the moment is one that acknowledges this. It then goes on to help me to become more of who I am rather than changing me in any way. I love this idea.

9.Connection With Others.

I love being connected with other people though the NET all over the world who are serious about improving their lives and the lives of those around them. I love being part of the global expansion of positive thoughts and deeds. We sometimes forget there are real people behind the websites we view. I know there are a lot of skeptics out there. I really hope that you will be one of those peple brave enough to start putting some of your fears behind you and step forward into a future that only you can create. It really is that simple!
