The saying says, &#8220;A double minded man is unstable in all his ways&#8221;. You have to make up your mind, what exactly it is you want to achieve in life. Failure to do so will result in you achieving nothing at the end of the year.</p>
<p>Many people complain about time and how they can&#8217;t get to achieve nothing. How can you accomplish something when you don&#8217;t even know what you really want? Become clear of what you really want! If not, you&#8217;ll end up chasing so many new opportunities, and you&#8217;ll lose purpose.</p>
<p>We live in a world where there are so many things that come our way to disturb us from achieving our main goals. You can never buy back wasted time; monitor your time wisely and put aside all those distractions until you achieve your goals.</p>
<p>This is the beginning of a new year. Sit down, get pen and paper and write down your goals. Be clear of what you want and straight away, get to work! Nothing comes your way by simply wishing. You need to take the necessary Action to bring your dreams to reality!</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-860" title="Branson" src="http://www.simonpreacher.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Branson.jpg" alt="Branson Richard Bransons Dyslexia" width="300" height="300" />I stumbled on this video where Sir Richard Branson in TED (www.ted.com) was talking about his school days as a Dyslexic. Apparently, Sir Branson left school at 15 and even though he wasn&#8217;t good at school, that didn&#8217;t stand in his way to become a successful husband, father, business man and a role model of our day.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>N</strong>o excuses to those who would say they were not good in school or they left school early and their life has no meaning. It&#8217;s all about finding your way to the top!</p>
<p>You are still alive right? Then you&#8217;ve got a chance from today to change your life and do something great with it. Don&#8217;t hold on to excuses, or to what people or teachers and respected figures have said about you. It&#8217;s in the past, it don&#8217;t mean anything. It only mean something if you give it a right. You can&#8217;t change the past, but can surely do something rewarding in the present and change your future. Find a way to the top!</p>
<p>Sir Richard Branson did something with his life. He had excuses to justify why he could&#8217;ve lived a mediocre life. But he didn&#8217;t give glory to his weaknesses instead he used his mind and concentrated on his potential to find his way to the TOP!</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s your turn. Go for it!Find A Way To The Top!</p>

<h3><strong><span style="color: #800000;">The Key To Success Is To Focus Our Conscious Mind On Things We Desire Not Things We Fear &#8211; Brian Tracy</span> </strong></h3>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-402" title="binocular_telescope" src="http://simonpreacher.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/binocular_telescope.jpg" alt="binocular telescope You Have Got The Power!" width="300" height="214" />I am sure on numerous times you have heard the statement, &#8220;<strong>You are what you think</strong>&#8221; or maybe you heard the one from The Bible, &#8220;<strong>As a man thinks, so is he</strong>&#8220;. The thing is, these statements are true!</p>
<p>We humans have the creative ability within us. When we think of something with a feeling, that particular thing eventually manifests in our reality.</p>
<p>Those people who are successful will tell you how they envisioned their future with faith and believed in success before their desired outcomes came to fruition. It starts from the heart, deep down from within!</p>
<p>I see people doing this the wrong way. For example, lets talk about debt; They place their focus on debt and spend 24 hours a day thinking about the debt and all bad things that might happen if they fail to pay this debt.</p>
<p>You know what they they&#8217;ll get out of these kind of thoughts? More debt, more trouble and more worry. Why?, because even though they don&#8217;t like the debt and want to get out of it;they still can&#8217;t shake it off because their attention is still on debt. Their subconscious mind is still being pressed with the word debt! So they carry on getting more debt and attracting more debt in their life.</p>
<p>Like I said, <strong>you have got the power, the creative ability</strong>, so it is important that you use it wisely. <strong>Always FOCUS on the solution not the problem.</strong> Use positive affirmations to begin the process of receiving that which you truly want in life. Instead of thinking about debt, bailiffs and that there is no way you will be able to find that kind of money, think about a way and a solution for you to get that money within that time frame. Ask yourself quality questions and your mind will provide quality answers to what seems to be an insurmountable problem.</p>
<p>Be careful where you place your focus when it comes to people around you. Do you focus on their problems and weaknesses, or you focus on their strengths and potential? What you think of them, is what you get out of them!</p>
<p><strong>My encouragement is for you to use your creative ability wisely. </strong>Observe your inner dialogue and monitor your thoughts regularly. Focus on the positives, on solving problems, finding solutions and making a difference in life.</p>
<blockquote><p>Remember; You Get More of What You Focus On &#8211; You Have The Power!</p>
<p>Focus On Your Potential Instead of Your Limitation -  Alan  <span class="misspell">McGinnis</span></p></blockquote>
