What steps to take

Sun, 1 Aug 2010 00:10:55 -0400

When you see someone who is enormously successful, you naturally want to know how he or she did it. Although it can certainly be helpful to understand how others achieve, that's not really the most crucial factor.
For your own success, it is even more important to clearly know what you wish to achieve, and to clearly understand why you wish to achieve it. Once you're absolutely certain about what and why, you are absolutely able to figure out how.
Even before you could talk, you were able to figure out how to get what you wanted. As your knowledge and experience have increased, so have your skills for reaching your goals.
If you're having trouble attaining any of those goals, it's not because you don't know how, or because you can't figure it out. The problem is you're not completely clear about exactly what you wish, or not completely sure about why.
It could be that the goal itself is not really yours. If it's just something you assumed would be nice, that's not going to give you a strong enough sense of purpose.
Dig deep into your purpose and make sure that what you're working toward is truly what you desire. Once you're clear about what and why, you'll know what steps to take.

Look Again

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:08:47 -0400

What if the factors holding you back are doing so only because of the way you have chosen to see them? What if you were to choose to see them in a new light?
If a door is always locked the first six or seven times you attempt to open it, you'll probably stop making the attempt. Yet just because that door was once locked, doesn't mean it will always be.
More significantly, that door is not the only way into the place you wish to go. There could very well be many other doors, some of them open to you, or windows, or other pathways.
There is a positive, empowering way to look at whatever your situation may be. By changing your perspective, you can significantly improve your options.
Consider your most challenging obstacle. Then, step outside your current set of assumptions, and look at it again.
Stop fighting the same old fight that's supported by the same old perspective. Look again, know that it's there, and you'll find a new way forward.

Your time to begin

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:04:50 -0400

The place to start is where you are. The way to start is by doing what you can, with what you know, using what you have.
You may get it wrong at first. But if you wait until you're sure you can get it perfect, you'll never get it done.
The best learning comes from doing. The way to get the experience you seek is to get busy without hesitation.
The longer you wait to get started, the more powerful your doubts will grow. Jump in right away, get going, and those doubts won't have a chance to take hold.
Time always moves forward whether you move forward or not. Your most effective strategy is to make use of each moment as soon as it arrives.
There's no end to what you can accomplish if you'll just go ahead and get going. Now is what you have, so make now your time to begin.

The richness of now

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:03:49 -0400

Let this moment now be here. Let yourself be fully in it.
Feel the depth of beauty that surrounds you. Be good to yourself and to all you encounter.
Float peacefully on the gentle waves that push you forward into each new experience. Make use of the opportunities to express your authentic self in new, creative and fulfilling ways.
Rejoice at the simple yet miraculous reality of your awareness. Love what is, and the possibilities of what can be, just because it feels so right.
Let go of any urge to fret or to fight. Allow the richness of now to unfold in your heart.
Feel how truly splendid it is to be here now. Live the peace and let it grow.
-- Ralph Marston
