			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fear is an emotional response to dangers and anything that threatens us. It is a human instinct that occurs when there is danger in sight. When you are operating under the emotion of fear, you are just simply trying to avoid getting hurt, so you do everything you can to avoid and escape such a perceived result to take place.</p>
<p>There are two groups of fear. There is HEALTHY FEAR &amp; UNHEALTHY FEAR. HEALTHY FEAR helps you to not get yourself in trouble. It is a wonderful asset that protects us from dangerous situations and keeping us safe. Think about, being afraid to commit crime, to hurt someone from anger, plus so many things. You are afraid because you don&#8217;t want to get yourself in trouble and affecting the lives of those around you. Think about being afraid of smoking due to healthy hazards that might come your way in the future. Think about fear from not sleeping around due to incurable diseases such as AIDS. All of these scenarios of fear are HEALTHY.</p>
<p>On the other side of the coin we have UNHEALTHY FEAR which has the propensity of limiting our lives tremendously. This kind of fear can make you think and feel that what you might have to offer is invaluable. It makes you feel that you do not fit and that being YOU is not acceptable. I know this bit because there was a time when I was in direct sales, I was intimidated by other CEOs and I ended up not being me and lost the business. I didn&#8217;t pursue some leads because of intimidation from fear.</p>
<p>So we avoid going through such kind of perceived pain and we avoid taking any action, so we lock ourselves in our own prisons. There we feel safe as we believe no one can hurt us. Living this way gives us the illusion of safety, but leaves us unfulfilled. Not only that, you can lose and worsen your relationships because of fear. You will go broke because you are afraid to network and mingle with prospective clients. Fear makes you live life without fulfilling your destiny and not unleashing the gift within you.</p>
<p>This UNHEALTHY FEAR hides you when you should be revealed. The problem with this fear is that though it justifies its reason to protect you from humiliation and embarrassment, it is still not good for you.  There are opportunities you need to pursue and fear has to be disallowed.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time you face an fear that is before you and the ones you have tolerated. Time you have a chat with them for the last time. Divorce them from your life and it&#8217;s time you replace it with some belief and faith. Boldness is what you need from now onwards. You could&#8217;ve been on on another level in your life had you not allowed fear to manage your affairs in the past.</p>
<p>If you were a victim of fear, Fear not, there are many people who have also gone through the same situations and they made a choice as well to get rid of it. Without fear, you will be creative, you will find opportunities for you to achieve your life purpose and maximize it.</p>
<p>To Your Full Potential</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Values are beliefs that are deeply rooted in your subconscious mind. There are what you perceive and believe as &#8220;truth&#8221; from your own perspective. In this world, you make friends, work for organizations and you behave a certain way based in large part on your values. Since most of these values are inside your subconscious mind it means you do things, react a certain way, behave a certain way unconsciously.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>Values can be anything, maybe you value other people&#8217;s time, or you value the Earth and will do anything to help with protecting the world and it&#8217;s habitat. They are all values. It differs from one person to another. Most of the values you have came as a result of your up-bringing. Notice the word &#8220;came&#8221; In other words they were placed there by your parents, or guardians, teachers, community leaders, religious leaders, etc&#8230;.Some values even came as a result of mixing up with various people from all walks of life. </span></p>
<p><span>What is important for you to know is that, values are acquired, we get them from somewhere and we install them in our own lives. They become part of us and we then behave a certain way and react a certain way being guided by these invisible forces from inside.</span></p>
<p>Bare in mind, since there are many values out there in people&#8217;s lives, there are values that limit people to reach their full potential and to experience true happiness. These are what I call limiting values. Conversely, there are those values that empower people, that guides people to reach their full potential and maximize their potential, those values are what I call empowering values.</p>
<p>As I said before, Values operate from the subconscious mind. This means you do things unconsciously or automatically without having to sit down and go through right or wrong. Since they are your own deeply held truths or beliefs, in many instances you don&#8217;t know if what you are doing is right or wrong. In other cases, you may know that your values are limiting you, but you just don&#8217;t know how to get rid of them. You feel like you can&#8217;t part with your value as you believe it is what defines you or give you an identity. That is true, but if the  value is a limiting one, you need to get rid of it and put on a identity or value that will boost you up to be more effective in your endeavors.</p>
<p><span>We live life based on our values. When it comes to decision making, you tend to choose Option A Instead of Option B, because Option A feels right to you, and defines what you believe is right or wrong way to deal with any situation at hand. People quarrel and fight because their values would&#8217;ve been challenged and violated. They feel exposed and in an effort not to feel exposed and lose their identity, they fight to protect their values.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>What I want you to do is to reach your full potential in this life.</strong> To use your abilities and education to become the best at what you do. This means we need to go through <strong>Value Analysis</strong>, to see if there are any values that are limiting you and also if there are any values that are empowering you and for you to be 100% aware of them and to press on them and become successful in life.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Value Analysis</strong></span></p>
<p><span>I want you to make a list of what is important to your life. This is a list of those things you need to be happy and live life with peace within you. Examples might be love, friends, wealthy, family, independence, integrity, wisdom, security, etc At this time, quantity not quality is important. Then go through your evaluation and selection process and reduce your list to 10 values. After that, go through the evaluation and selection process and score your values between 1 and 5 based on importance. The top 5 with the most scores will then become your critical values. Also arrange them in order of preference. Life will feel fulfilling when what you do revolves around and includes these core values.</span><strong> </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are placing belief in something, it means you are mentally placing your total trust or confidence in that particular thing or person.</p>
<p>Belief can also be defined as mental acceptance of and conviction in what you are foreseeing as truth, actuality or validity of something.</p>
<p>Beliefs are what we call lenses or goggles we use to see the Universe or the World through. They are assumptions we make about people around us, about ourselves, the World at large and how things should operate. The mind receives information, processes it, and creates the appropriate belief. There is no space for choice, your beliefs depend entirely on what you have taken inside of you.</p>
<p>All of us in the world are different people, coming from different communities of the world and families. Hence there are trillions of belief systems in the world. We see the world from different lenses. Now there is a big problem! The problem being, not all beliefs are accurate, or true. Some beliefs keep people in fear, bondage, captivity, poverty, lack, etc the list goes on. Those beliefs are negative &amp; dis-empowering, they destroy lives than building life. On the other hand there are those beliefs that are empowering. They build you up, challenge you and you won&#8217;t leave life in fear being limited to what you can do and become.</p>
<p>Now, each person has to keep an open mind when they get to a certain age in their life. I know we inherit beliefs from those around us or from family, but we have to question some of the belief systems we keep company with. If for example; your belief keep you in a petrified-fearful state, It is important you get rid of it and find a new belief that gives you peace and happiness.</p>
<p>Those beliefs that limit you, need to be replaced with new positive-empowering beliefs. Remember you only become what you perceive yourself or believe you are. <strong>&#8220;You are what you think you are&#8230;&#8230;.&#8221;, said Bhudda.</strong></p>
<p>Are your beliefs about what you perceive yourself, those around you and the world at large positive?? If they aren&#8217;t you need to replace them with new ones that will bring Joy and happiness to your soul and lives around you.</p>
<p>My desire on this site is to make sure you believe in succeeding in every aspect of your life.</p>
<ol>
<li>To believe, you can live life in good health despite what happened to others before you</li>
<li>To believe you are wealth and can be so wealthy despite your family history of success</li>
<li>To believe in healthy relationships despite what you saw when you were growing up.</li>
<li>To believe you are successful with your business endeavors.</li>
<li>Etc</li>
</ol>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget the saying&#8230;..<strong>&#8220;As a man thinks, so is he&#8221;</strong> If you were told you can never become anything, or attain to anything&#8230;..then it&#8217;s Time you make some changes. Simon Preacher is saying&#8230;&#8230;<strong>&#8220;Yes You Can!&#8221;</strong> Tell yourself you can do it, you can attain to something&#8230;.by becoming successful in every aspect of your life and super wealth. It is possible. Change your thoughts, reject negative beliefs&#8230;Change your life!</p>
