Happiness is contagious and it should be passed on. Happiness is a choice you have to make. They say,

‘A cheerful heart is a good medicine; But a grumpy heart dries up the bones‘.

People who are grumpy drive people away from them whereas the cheerful ones draw people to themselves. As much as happiness is contagious and a choice we make, so is being grumpy. What’s the point of passing on a bad attitude to other people? You might as well pass on joy and happiness.

People feel comfortable to talk to those who have a merry heart than those who have a grumpy heart. Happiness creates a positive mood, you always are more creative in that state and you get to do more done during the day.

Sometimes life throws some hard stones your way, and there is nothing wrong with a little crying and grieving as long as you remain in control of those emotions. Make it a point to get back to a joyful state and choose to look at situations in a more positive way even though nothing good seems to might have come out of it. You can even encourage yourself and tell yourself that things could have gone worse than they are!

Happiness is all about appreciating you, who you are and what you are. It’s also about appreciating others around you together with all their strengths and weaknesses. It’s all about counting your blessings instead of counting your troubles. There are so many things you should be thankful of if only you pause and calmly think! You should be happy in this life despite all the news and bad things being predicted by the media and people around you.

Happiness begins from within and nobody else can not force you to be angry and grumpy. Choose happiness and pass it on when you walk across the street, stop at traffic lights and every-time you set your eyes on someone or when you get to talk to someone.

Choose a merry heart today, it makes a positive difference and is what our world and communities need. It brings us together, help us appreciate one another and create a willingness for us to work together and help one another.

If you are in business, you will never lose customers if you have a merry heart. (Make sure you meet all your customers expectation if possible) You will get more recommendations and you will create a great atmosphere to those who come in contact with you.

So Go Ahead……Pass On The Seeds of Happiness!

The Key To Success Is To Focus Our Conscious Mind On Things We Desire Not Things We Fear – Brian Tracy

I am sure on numerous times you have heard the statement, “You are what you think” or maybe you heard the one from The Bible, “As a man thinks, so is he“. The thing is, these statements are true!

We humans have the creative ability within us. When we think of something with a feeling, that particular thing eventually manifests in our reality.

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!

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.

You know what they they’ll get out of these kind of thoughts? More debt, more trouble and more worry. Why?, because even though they don’t like the debt and want to get out of it;they still can’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.

Like I said, you have got the power, the creative ability, so it is important that you use it wisely. Always FOCUS on the solution not the problem. 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.

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!

My encouragement is for you to use your creative ability wisely. Observe your inner dialogue and monitor your thoughts regularly. Focus on the positives, on solving problems, finding solutions and making a difference in life.

Remember; You Get More of What You Focus On – You Have The Power!

Focus On Your Potential Instead of Your Limitation -  Alan  McGinnis

Examples of some of the intangible seeds we sow in our lives include our thoughts/internal words and they produce fruit after their kind just like the tangible seeds. It has been said several times that “You Are What You Think” and that “Thoughts Are Things”. Scientists have estimated that we have over 30,000 thoughts every day. The problem is that those 30,000 thoughts tend to be the exact same thoughts repeating themselves over and over again! It means you’re sowing 30,000 seeds daily in your life!

Many people focus on wrong things in life. They spend time thinking about the negative staff such as their debts, relationship problems, etc instead of focusing on how to earn more money or how to improve their relationships. By doing so, they keep on sowing negative seeds instead of positive ones and hence nothing changes. The end result is that; they keep on reaping the fruits they don’t want from their garden of life.

Learn to monitor your thoughts if you want to change your life. Your thoughts are the seeds you use to create your reality! How much time do you spend focusing on what you don’t want in life instead of focusing on what you do want? If you want to reap good fruit in your life, begin sowing the right seeds not the wrong ones. Every time you pay attention on your problems and how bad life is to you, you won’t be able to reap anything good out of it. Think of solutions with a positive mind frame and ask yourself questions to come out with positive answers that will make you a better person. Take responsibility of your life and appreciate you cannot change the past but the future. Stop sowing victim and blame seeds and begin sowing responsibility seeds. Once you begin taking responsibility of your life, you begin to become honest to yourself and end up coming with better solutions for a top notch quality of life.

Check your seed bag and go through it (In this case it is your mind) and see if there is no unwanted seeds in it. If you change your negative seeds to positive ones, you will reap good fruit. The Universal Principles cannot be altered by anybody and the good news is they work for you too. The key to success is to change what you SOW or in simple terms change the way you THINK.

What sort of thoughts are you accommodating in your mind? Pause and listen to your self talk. Can you see the connection between what you’re thinking and the life you’re experiencing? Again allow me to ask you this question, What Are You Sowing In The Garden of Your Life – your Mind?

Many people have suffered, or shall I say are suffering because of Resistance and the reason why it gets to work is because of a word called unfamiliarity. Something that is Unfamiliar is something that is unusual, strange or not known. So that is how resistance kicks in. It goes to work because there is something you are trying to embrace or adopt in your life or mind and due to the unfamiliarity of that you are thinking of; Resistance begins fighting the battle for you to try by all means to stop the new thought to be part of you.

If you are resisting success it’s probably not obvious to you because resistance is an inner process. It’s part of a mindset that is rooted in the subconscious. So when you find yourself being reluctant to start that business, write that book, or refusing to believe you can succeed in this life, then you should know resistance is at work. In most cases it has something to do with your background or upbringing. As for me, I resisted success because I didn’t see anyone around me achieving any significant measure of success. All I was told was, “life is too hard” time and again. I was familiar to words such as; “We can’t afford this, we can’t afford that, there is no money for that, etc”So when I grew up; anytime there was an opportunity for me to earn more and succeed I wasn’t able to seize those opportunities. It looked like there was some evil person working out some magic for me to never attain success even though it was at my finger tips. I didn’t know soon enough that there was something within me called Resistance that found success as UNFAMILIAR.

Procrastination, indecisiveness, overworking, overeating, multi-tasking, being late, missing appointments, wanting to sleep, are all signs of resistance. Resistance makes you feel uncomfortable, it drains the power of creativeness, it numbs you and you end up feeling like you can’t do it. It is fighting inside of you to stop you doing anything it thinks is stupid.

So when you see yourself failing to step into that next level of business success, earning that huge income, getting involved in that glorious relationship or any other aspect of your life, then you know, resistance is working. Even though this battle is taking place within you, it will still show up in the the outer world and in the quality of your life. This inner conflict is a battle between your true desires and false beliefs.

Desire or longing for betterment in life is part of human nature. Every person on planet earth yearns for good things and greatness. Desire lead us to our purpose and the expression of our innate gifts and is filled with the energy of success. But you may desire and as long as resistance is tolerated, your desires will not come to fulfillment. Resistance is the wall between desire and fulfillment. If you desire to buy a nice car let’s say a Rolls Royce and your being is resisting that car, you will fail to have enough resources whether money, favor or people to help you buy that car. You end up with a second hand car or a brand new small car, not a Rolls Royce though! Why? Because resistance stopped your desire to be fulfilled. Those false beliefs were working within you, telling you that a person of your calibre can never own a Rolls Royce.

Resistance is the voice of lack and limitation that intends to hold you back from fulfilling your true desires. You will identify resistance If you listen inside of you, you will hear voices such as “I am not worthy of success, I am not good enough, I can never have this, I can never find someone nice to marry me, etc, etc” Then you know it is there and those voices needs to be stopped.

Well I have got good news; you can move beyond resistance and shift into a new mindset and a new way of being. It is 100% possible. First of all, find out what it is you are resisting – that desire your heart is rejecting. What is the voice inside of you saying? Find out, if it is saying, “you won’t be able to achieve this….., afford that,….”etc then you need to take note of that. I want you to create an awareness of resistance since it is the key to your breakthrough. Get into the habit of pinpointing the signs and symptoms of resistance and say to yourself, “Here we go again, resistance trying to hold me back to succeed” This will expose it, defuses its power and loosens its grip on you.

Then begin reinforcing new thoughts in your life. Thoughts that you can succeed, that you are worthy enough to have anything that is right in the world. Begin to tell yourself that you can do it. Become your own cheerleader. Cheer yourself up until the new thought is ordained and accepted in your life.

Never allow resistance to run your chores, it will keep you down, hold you back and you will not achieve your true purpose. Love yourself, don’t wait for people to love you. Don’t wait for people to tell you you can do this and that. Don’t wait for people to tell you your potential. Tell yourself first, as you do, people will begin to see where you are heading and they will confirm your new beliefs.

I know once you get rid of resistance, nothing will stop you to live your life to the full.

3. Values Values are beliefs that are deeply rooted in your subconscious...

Values can be anything, maybe you value other people’s time, or you value the Earth and will do anything to help with protecting the world and it’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 “came” In other words they were placed there by your parents, or guardians, teachers, community leaders, religious leaders, etc….Some values even came as a result of mixing up with various people from all walks of life.

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.

Bare in mind, since there are many values out there in people’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.

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’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’t know how to get rid of them. You feel like you can’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.

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’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.

What I want you to do is to reach your full potential in this life. To use your abilities and education to become the best at what you do. This means we need to go through Value Analysis, 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.

Value Analysis

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.

Belief can also be defined as mental acceptance of and conviction in what you are foreseeing as truth, actuality or validity of something.

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.

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 & 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’t leave life in fear being limited to what you can do and become.

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.

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. “You are what you think you are…….”, said Bhudda.

Are your beliefs about what you perceive yourself, those around you and the world at large positive?? If they aren’t you need to replace them with new ones that will bring Joy and happiness to your soul and lives around you.

My desire on this site is to make sure you believe in succeeding in every aspect of your life.

1. To believe, you can live life in good health despite what happened to others before you
2. To believe you are wealth and can be so wealthy despite your family history of success
3. To believe in healthy relationships despite what you saw when you were growing up.
4. To believe you are successful with your business endeavors.
5. Etc

Don’t forget the saying…..“As a man thinks, so is he” If you were told you can never become anything, or attain to anything…..then it’s Time you make some changes. Simon Preacher is saying……“Yes You Can!” Tell yourself you can do it, you can attain to something….by becoming successful in every aspect of your life and super wealth. It is possible. Change your thoughts, reject negative beliefs…Change your life!
