Stop Complaining And Blaming If You Want To Be Extraordinary

December 5th, 2011

I have written a number of articles of successful people and how they built their success out from scratch. And if you are a royal reader of my blog, you will come to notice that some people actually comment saying that those successful people are actually lucky or they have advantages.

Stop Complaining And Start To Take Charge Of Your LifeIt is true that when you think about some facts such as where you are born may be an advantage because you cannot choose where you were born. And indeed that your family background can affect your life and the results you create.

However, your life is in your hands. You are the one that is responsible for your own life. Some people said that they were born into a poor family and this is exactly why they cannot succeed. If you think about it, it is the poverty that drives most people to go out and achieve big wealth. Do not let your surrounding change you, you are the one who should change the environment.

Regardless of what disadvantages you have in your life now, you are the one that is responsible for creating your future. You can be poor or uneducated, but if you let these reasons stop you, you will never be successful. Instead, use these factors as a drive to motivate you to achieve much more. Some people say that Bill Gates is lucky because of this or that, but if the same luck is given to you, do you think you can be as successful as him?

The same goes for every other successful person in the world. They are successful and are able to accomplish so much because they understand that they are the ones who are responsible for their own life and they can and are able to create the future that they want.

You too, can do the same. As long as you are not giving excuses and complaining about life, you will be able to take charge and control your life. Some unfortunate people were born handicapped, in spite of all the disadvantages that they have, they turn those reasons that others look as disadvantages, and go on to create success in their lives.

Look at how Sylvester Stallone is able to change his life and read his story here. If you know his background and how despite all disadvantages, he is still able to breakthrough and produces outstanding results in his life, you will understand that success is something that you can control and are able to achieve. No matter who you are in this world, everyone has the same chance to achieve the success that they desire in their hearts.

Even if you are uneducated or were born in a poor family, it does not really matter. What matters most is how you respond to the event in your life. You can blame and you can continue to give excuses saying that you are uneducated or something. In the end, it is how you look at your life right now that matters most.

There is another great success story that I would like to share with you. She is a lady and her name is Oprah Winfrey. You can also read her success story here in my blog. Once you go through it, I believe you will understand that success is not created by chance or luck, it is the one who desire and put in enough commitment that eventually achieves it.

One thing for sure is that the journey to success is not an easy one. If it is that simple and easy, people will never complain or give lousy excuses why they are unable to achieve it. Therefore, you have to understand that success requires hard work and perspiration. This is why only minority are successful.

So make your decision right now that you want to be in this minority group to accomplish great results and live an extraordinary life. Decide not to give excuses or complain about your life anymore. You can be successful and your future is in your hands.

The Mantra Of Success – Think Positive

December 2nd, 2011

Everyone knows that if he or she wanted to be successful, he or she must think positive and stay positive. So, are you thinking positively?

positive thinking to successThinking positive is not the only key that you are going to require to open the door to success; however, it is considered one of the most important ones. Without this key, you will never accomplish great success in your life.

Just take a moment to think about it, how many times when you are facing an obstacle, you think positively and as a result, you discover the great things behind it? Or maybe there are times when you think negatively, and eventually they turn out as bad things?

Do you realize that most of the time when you think positively, the result you get will be positive as well? This is all because when you think positively, you will eventually act positively, and in the end you will get the positive results that you want. Although it may not be true all the time, but thinking positively does help in creating the successful life that you always desire.

If you are a salesman and its raining, you may feel lazy to go out to meet your clients. This is what is happening to most people out there. Just change your thinking a little and twist it and you can end up getting more sales during a rainy day. When it is raining, you will have fewer competitors because most people are lazy to go for appointments. When it is raining, your clients will feel impress because you truly take him seriously and wanted to serve him even if it is raining.

The same if you come across any failure in your life. As long as you take it as an experience and consistently doing it without giving up, you will eventually succeed. Do you want to know how to never fail? If you do not want to fail, never give up until you get the success you want. If you never give up, you will never fail. This is how extraordinary people produce amazing results in their lives.

Positive Thinking Is A Start

When an event occurs to you, the first thing that will happen is that you will think about something in your mind. What you think about will determine how you decide and how you act. This is why positive thinking is so important; it is the starting point of all success!

When you think that something is possible, you will try to do it and even if you fail, you will learn the experience. On the other hand, if you think it is impossible, you do not even bother to do a thing about it. How many times when something seems impossible to you, there is someone out there thinks that it is possible and accomplished it?

You know it very well that success is not an accident. You will become what you think about most of the time. If you plant an oat seed, you will always get an oat tree. There is no accident in this universe. You have to believe that everything is moving in harmony. Therefore, you will always get the results that you put into your mind. If you think negatively, you will get the outcomes that you do not want.

There Is No Harm In Thinking Positive

Somehow, you are going to think about something anyway, thus, since you are going to think about something, why don’t you just think positively?

You are not going to lose anything in thinking positively, hence, try to notice what are the thoughts that you put into your mind most of the time. When you notice that you are thinking something negative, do a pattern interrupt such as saying ‘cancel’ out loud and focus your thoughts into something positive.

For example, if you fall sick, instead of thinking about your bad condition and bad health, think about how you can take a rest and maybe read some books or how you can spend time thinking and strategizing for your future. If you fall and injured yourself, do not think about how bad the situation will be, instead, think that you are lucky because you did not break your leg or something. As long as you are alive, everything will be great for you.

It may not be easy, but with a lot of practice and focusing on the right thoughts, you can change your thought and thus, change your life.

Create The Intention Of What You Want

October 31st, 2011

The first step to achieving what you want in your life is by creating the intention in your mind. Just a simple thought of thinking about what you want is enough to create an effect big enough for you to live a big life.

Think about it, everything that you see in this world starts as a thought in somebody’s head. The computer you are using right now was once an idea in someone’s mind and it is that person’s hard work and persistence that bring his thought into reality. The mobile phone you are using was also an idea in someone’s head before it becomes something tangible that can connect 2 or more parties together.

create intention to successThus, if you think about it, everything starts from your thought. Therefore, what you need to do in order to accomplish great success in life is by creating an intention of what you want to achieve in your mind. Simply think about what you want and believe that you can achieve it.

When you think about something that you want to achieve, you will almost certain that you can achieve it. Most people think about getting back from work to home to watch their favorite drama and series. Guess what, most people achieve that. And if you think about eating burger as dinner, you will also almost certain that you will achieve it.

Your mind will direct you towards what you want. It does not really matter how you are going to do it. As long as you create the intention in your mind, you will eventually come up with an answer.

Put The Right Thoughts Into Your Mind

In other words, if you think about something that is unattainable, your mind will come up with so-called proof to show you why it is unattainable and shut you from doing it. Just think about how unlucky it is for you today and your mind will come up with all sorts of answers to prove to you.

Try out this exercise right now. Think about any negative thought that is coming into your mind now. Think about how bad it is today. Think about how badly your boss treats you. Think about how you lose the deal and think about why your ex dump you.

What comes into your mind? You will notice that whenever you think about those negative thoughts, your mind will support your thoughts by giving you ‘proof’ and show you how bad your day can be.

On the other hand, if you think about great and positive thoughts such as how you are able to close those big deals, why you are so lovely, and so on and so forth, you will come up with answers to support those great thoughts in your mind.

This means that what you think about is very important. This is why you have to put in the right thoughts in your mind all the time. Thinking about what you want will actually help you to come up with ideas how you are going to accomplish them.

Why Vision Boards, Goal Setting And Affirmation Work

Vision boards, goal setting and affirmation work because when you use these tools and techniques, you are actually creating an intentional and focus your thoughts on the results that you want in your life. Whenever you think about what you want, you are enforcing your mind to think the related thoughts that will direct you toward what you want.

It is just like how you arrive to this blog. There must be something that makes you come into this blog. Maybe you are searching for some motivational or self-improvement articles on the internet and you come across this blog. How you come across this blog is not that important, the most important point is why you end up here and what makes your arrival here.

It must be that you are interested with something that my blog is providing and hence, you clicked and come into this blog. So can you see it now? It all starts from a simple thought in your mind.

So just use a vision board and imagine about what you want to accomplish in your life. Set goals to help you stay focused and keep you in the right direction. And use affirmation to consistently deposit great and positive thoughts in your mind.

How To Transform Your Life In An Instant

July 28th, 2011

Do you know that you can transform your life in an instant? No matter what happened to you in your life, you have the power to choose what meaning you would like to give it. And it is this power that gives you the ability to transform your life, regardless of where you are, who you are or whatever has happened to you.

how we thinkThink about it, if you are just getting fired from your boss, what does that mean? Well, some people will take it as something bad. They will blame their boss; blame their company for getting rid of them even though they have performed great value for their company.

On the other hand, some people will say to themselves, “Well, thing just happen. This is very common; I guess I will look for another better company that appreciates my worth.”

Same situation, but with a different meaning that you give to it, the results will be totally different. So this is what you are going to find out in this post today. You are going to discover about the power of reframing, so that it can help you move forward and transform your life.

The Law of Polarity: Anything that seems to be extremely negative, when framed with a different perspective, will become extremely positive.

Do you know that life has no meaning at all, except the meaning that you give to life? If you think that life is boring, then you will live a boring life. Conversely, if you think that life is excited, then you will live an excited life.

It is what you choose to frame it that will make it your reality. If you read the biographies of successful people, you will discover that they all have gone through a lot of so-called failures in their lives; however, they did not take it as failures. Somehow, they treat failure differently and they are able to turn the situation from bad to great.

Look at Donald Trump, he frames thing as tests of his resilience and as lessons that make him smarts. This guy made a fortune in real estate in the 1980s and early 1990s. However, the grass is not always green. In the late 1990s, a worldwide depression set in and property prices plummeted. Donald Trump was not spared. His personal fortune was gone and he was US$900 million in debt. The banks moved in to make him bankrupt.

A lot of other real estate guys suffered the same tragedy and convinced that themselves that they were financially ruined and went bankrupt. Donald Trump did not regard this as being the end, it only meant that he had the opportunity to get back to work and turn things around. And eventually he did turn things around. He negotiated for the biggest deals in business history and within 3 years, he made over US$3 billion. He even wrote a book called “The Art Of The Comeback” that talks about how the tragedy made him wiser, stronger and more focused than ever.

Therefore, if you want to be successful, you must learn the art of reframing. Always remember this in your head, it is how you represent your experiences that will determine how you respond, and thus, determine the results that you are going to get in life.

Let me give you some clear examples here. Do you think that poor is something that will limit you from becoming successful or it is something that will actually help you to achieving your dreams? The answer is it depends on what meaning you want to associate to the word ‘poor’.

For most people, they represent poor as a limiting factor that will stop them from becoming more successful. However, there is a smaller group of people who represent poor as an experience that will drive them to be successful. For this group of people, they have the thinking that because they are poor, that is why they need to work harder to earn more money and be successful.

How about if you are in debt? Or if you are not well educated? Or the person who you loved has just left you? Or you are fired by your boss? Or if the economy is not doing well?

I hope that you can see it clearly right now. It is not a matter of which direction that the wind is blowing, it is a matter of how you can control your sail to reach your destination. You cannot control the wind, the economy or whatever bad things that may happen to you, but you can always control how you choose to respond to it.

If you say that your son does not stop talking, you can reframe this negative comment by saying “Good! It means that he has great potential as a speaker!” Or you can reframe it by saying that he is full of creative ideas or he will be the next debate king in school.

No matter how negative the situation may be, there is always a positive side of it. For every head, there will be a tail. Just like Yin and Yang, male and female, black and white, good and bad, etc. If you cannot find the good in it, it simply means that you are still stuck in the negative side and that is why you cannot see the positive.

So, always remember that the meaning you choose to give is the meaning that you create. Thus, you can create any meaning you want in your life. You are the one that will determine how you can respond. Choose reframe all the negatives into the positives, and you will have no problem transforming your life and making your dreams come true.

How To Gain Absolute Power In Your Life

July 21st, 2011

Giving excuses is one of the most common ways to give up the power to control your life. Do you sometimes feel like you have no control over your life? Things just happen out of your control and you just feel down?

power to successThere are many instances and moments that you wish they did not happen in your life, but, this is life, thus, anything can happen.

In this article, I would like to share with you a very powerful principle that you can apply into your life to gain absolute power and take charge of your life again. You might know about this principle in your life, it will be great if you can read this post to the end and refresh your mind about this powerful principle again.

If you want to be in the position of power, it means that you want to change whatever that is not working in your life. If you are living miserably now, it means that you are not in control of your life, you do not have the power to take charge.

For most people, having the power to control their lives is something that is only possible for the minority who were born in the position of power such as business acumen, exceptional talent or lady luck. This is not true at all. In fact, anyone can have the absolute power to control their lives if they want to.

So what is this secret to having absolute power?

The Secret Is Absolute Responsibility

Yes, whenever you take responsibility for whatever happens, it means that you acknowledge that you are the one who is creating the results and the outcomes. And if you are the one who created it, you can then have the power to change it.

Let me give you some clear examples here so that you can have a better understanding. If you take responsibility for your low pay, it means that you actually acknowledge that it is your action and decision that led to your low pay. It may be that you are not creating enough value for your company so that your boss will pay you more, or maybe you are not demonstrating your value to your boss, or it is because you are choosing to work in a company that does not value your worth.

Whatever the issues may be, you must take full responsibility in order to make a change. And when you understand that it is your own decision and action that produces the result that you do not want, you will have the power to change the result by making different decision and acted upon it.

What happen to most people are that they did not take responsibility for their lives and the majority of them will give excuses or blame others. It is fine if you give excuses or blame others once in a while. Everyone makes excuses and gives blame sometimes. However, if you do this consistently, you will never get the successful life that you always desire.

Giving excuses and blaming others will never put you in charge. When the economy is bad and your business is not moving, if you blame the economy, guess what, you will never make any change and the situation will stay the same. On the other hand, if you take the responsibility by making different decision and strategies to grow your business, do you think things will change? The answer is highly likely. There is no guarantee, but if you change your action, you will definitely get different results.

It is just like one plus one. If you keep on adding one with one, you will always get two. If you change the number, such as adding one with three, you will get four, which is a different outcome. This is a common sense, but most people are trapped in it and they never make any changes in their lives. That is why most people are living the same way for so many years. They get trapped in the rat race and are getting nowhere.

Taking full responsibility does not mean that you have to blame yourself. It simply means that you understand that you are the one who is in control and you are the one who created the results. And if you are in charge, then you can change the direction and produce different results.

Well, if your children are rebellious and are not listening to what you say, take the responsibility that you are not communicating well with them. If your students did not do well in the exams, take the responsibility for the way of your teachings that are not efficient. If your staffs are not producing enough value, take the responsibility that you have not tapped into their passion.

Now, you understand how to take absolute power, make sure you understand this as well…

For Things To Change, You Must First Change

Things will never change because of you, you must change in order for things to change. Think about it, if you want to grow your business, but you are not changing any of your strategy, you will keep on getting the same old results. This is why innovation is so important.

If you continue to do the things the same way, guess what will happen? You will be getting the same old outcomes all the time. If you want to change your life, start by changing yourself.

If you want to attract the best staff, you need to first be the best boss. After all, if you are not the best boss, why did the best employee wants to work for you? Therefore, as you can see it now, for things to change, we must first change.

If you want to have a perfect wife, then be the perfect husband. If you want to have high income, add the greatest value to your company and your clients. If you want to attract the best customers, be the best company in your field.

This is how all the extraordinary people did it and it is the one of the most powerful principles of success that you can never miss. Without this powerful principle, you will never produce the results that you are looking for.

So make sure you apply and use this principle in your life throughout the day. Things will change, simply because you have changed.

The 3 Hard Facts You Must Accept About Life And Success

March 20th, 2011

I came up with this post idea not to create any debate or controversy. It is just my own perception and my view with life and success. It may be different in place that you live. However, for me, there are 3 hard facts that you must accept in life and this is how you are able to master your life and create the success that you want.

success and lifeLike what we all know, life can be something simple or it can be something complicated. It all depends on how you look at it. Some people just want to live a simple life. They just want to make some money, enough to live by and to relax and enjoy. While some people would like to live big and achieve big. Well, there is no right or wrong here, it is just what you want out of your life.

The most important thing is that you must know what you want. If you want to live a simple and ordinary life, you can have it. And if you want to live big and achieve a lot in your life, you can have it as well.

No matter which path you choose, here are the 3 hard facts that you must accept. If you do not accept them, you will never going to get through in your life. Stop being led by life, instead, you master your life and create the future that you want.

1. Hard Fact #1 – Life Can Be Hard

Hey, nobody says that life is easy. Some people are born in a rich family and thus, they have better education, more capital, hence, easier for them to start a business. I learned this principle from one of the articles written about Bill Gates.

If you read through all the biographies of the extraordinary people out there, you will discover that they all spent a lot of time and effort to build their business and career. They sacrifice a lot in order to pursue and achieve what they want. Yes, it is not something easy, it is something hard.

This is why there is only a few portion of all the people out there are successful. If success is something easy, I bet you will be living the great life that you desire already. Unfortunately, it is not something easy.

Do not worry though, the good news is that because it is hard for most people and only a small percentage of people actually accomplish great results in life, as long as you are committed to achieve what you want, you can be extraordinary. Don’t get what I mean? Just think about it as the competition in the market.

If the competition in the market is low, it is easy for you to dominate the market. Just like in life. If it is hard for people to achieve great success, it simply means that the competition is low. Therefore, all you need to be is to be more hard working and tend to be slightly different than the rest.

Always remember this, when you are down or when your business is not doing well, you are not the only one that is going through the situation. In fact, there are many others who have gone through the similar or even worse than you, but still they are able to turn it around and make a comeback.

If they can do this, so can you. Just make sure that you are well prepared because sometimes, life can be hard. And that is what makes your goals worth pursuing. It is because your goal is difficult to achieve that you want to achieve them. Just like if you set your goal to become world number in any sport, or build a worldwide brand name, or to set foot in the moon. You set it because it is difficult not because it is easy to accomplish!

2. Hard Fact #2 – Life Can Be Unfair

Yes, life can be unfair. Like what I said above. Some people are born in rich families and they do not have to fight for capital to start their own business. Some parents send their children to world-class college to get the best education. Some people do not even have to work because they are rich enough and they can survive without working for their life time.

I know that if you are reading this right now, life can seems unfair to you. You cannot blame anyone if you are not born in the rich family. There is nobody for you to blame. Thus, what you can do is to take charge of your own life and make it better.

Sometimes when you think about it, you will feel great because you are the one who creates your own life and you are who you are right now. You are reading this article because you have the burning desire for change and improvement in your life. Those rich kids will never read this article and even if they do, they will never understand what I’m saying here.

You see, sometimes life does not provide you physical support such as money and education, but it provides you with something even better, your desire to succeed in life. Without the desire for change and success, you will never amount to any great results in life.

So if you think that your life is unfair compare with your friends, think about it twice. God never makes junks. You are here for a reason and you live for a purpose. So learn through the experience that life presents to you and you will become the next extraordinary guy.

3. Hard Fact #3 – You Are The Master Of Your Life

You have a choice right now, to agree with what I’m telling you or you can choose to disagree. If you disagree, you can get away or you can leave your comment below. What I want to tell you is that you always have a choice.

And it is the choice that you make in your life that makes you who you are today. No matter how hard life can be or how unfair it may seem, you are still the master of your own life. You can and you have the power to change. If you do not like your work, you can stop, quit and get the one that you love. Nobody forces you to stay. Do not tell me that you have a lot of commitments, you have family to feed, and you have to pay for your monthly rental or car loan.

There is always a choice for you.

You are responsible for your own life. You are the one who is living your life and thus, you have the power to control it. What happen with most people is that they are afraid to change because they have been living in their comfort zone.

If you want to make your life great, you must learn to make your comfort zone bigger. Do not be afraid of doing something that you are not used to. Do something different and you will get different experience and references. This is what will change your perspective.

I believe if you can accept these 3 hard facts here and live in harmony with them, you will have no problem living the life that you desire. I hope you enjoy this article and if you have any thoughts that you would like to share, simply leave your comments below.

The Number One Success Principle That Can Shape Your Destiny

February 15th, 2011

Take Control Of Your LifeDo you know what is the number one success principle that can shape your destiny? This is exactly what you are going to discover in this article. So stay with me and I will share with you this ultimate secret that can transform your life and move you to the next level.

Let’s get into the meat directly, the number one principle of success that you must adopt in order to get everything that you desire in life is this, taking control of your life.

In other words, you need to be responsible for your life. Whenever you believe that you are responsible for your life, or you are the one that who created who you are, then, you will have the power to shape your destiny.

For example, if you believe that the economy or the market trend is the main factor that will determine your success, you are actually giving away the power that can control your business. When the economy is down, you will blame the economy and give excuses. When you failed in your business venture, you will tell yourself that you are riding on the wrong market trend.

This is always not true at all. For the same circumstances and the same event, there are many other people who are succeeding with it. If you complain you lack the education, the money, the time, or whatever it is that is preventing you from becoming successful, under the same condition, there are other people who will do it and succeed. Why?

The answer is simply that they believe they are the ones who are responsible and taking control of their lives. Successful people always know this. When something goes against them, they will think creatively and find solutions for it. On the other hand, ordinary people will give blame and make lousy excuses.

When you blame or when you give excuses, you are giving away your power to change. Just like if you fail in the exams, you can choose to blame the stupid lecturer or the stupid questions. And because you cannot control the situation, you cannot change it. However, if you think it from another point of view such as you are not studying hard enough or you did not do enough revision for it, you will have the power to change the situation. You cannot change the lecturer or the questions from the paper, but you can change how you handle it.

Life Is All About Making The Right Choices

Life is actually all about making the right choices. You have to make decisions in your life. And if you make the wrong decision, you will end up going further away from what you want. Therefore, the ultimate aim is to learn to make the right decision that will get you nearer toward your dreams and your goals.

So ask yourself right now, are you doing what you supposed to do that will give you the results that you want in your life?

If you are not doing what you supposed to do, you will never get the results or the outcomes that you desire. Just like if you want to lose weight but you are not willing to go to the gym, to diet, or to exercise regularly. Your actions must be in alignment with what you want to accomplish.

You see, you are the one who are creating your own life. You are who you are right now because of all the decisions and the actions that you have made in the past. You can choose to wake up early, to be hard working, to be on time, to do the market research, to save the extra money, to read for at least 30 minutes a day, to be more caring and so on and so forth.

Conversely, you can choose to sleep, to eat more, to spend the extra money on unnecessary stuff, to scold your kids, to stop reading this article, to watch movies, to wake up late, to blame your wife and more. Now you understand, it is all about choosing the right path and it is all about you.

Remember, it is you who have the power to shape your destiny. Nobody is pointing a gun to you and force you to do what you do not like. It is you who are not taking the responsibility that makes you end up where you are right now. It is you who created the mess because you always complain and put things off.

Let me give you another clear example. Say if your boss gives you a bonus of $500, how are you going to use this extra money? Are you going to use it to buy a new mobile phone or dine in the finest restaurant in town? And of course, if you do this, you will end up broke. Or are you going to save and invest this $500 so that you will have an additional net worth? Can you see it right now? You are the one who can change things!

You are the one who can determine your own success. Thus, you can be successful if you want to. Without this key principle, you will never be successful.

And always keep this in your mind; do not give excuses and blame other people or other things. It will do you no good. When you say you do not have the education and the money to be successful, there is someone out there who is facing the same problem and succeeds.

Whenever you take full responsibility, nothing can ever stop you. If you do not like what you are getting right now, take the responsibility and change. You are destined to produce great success and live an extraordinary life, all by starting to take full responsibility for your life.

Why You Fail To Achieve What You Want

April 13th, 2010

Do you know why you fail to produce the results you want and unable to achieve what you want?

It is because of the your clarity and purpose…

If you look at the video above, you will understand the power of clarity and purpose.

For those who achieve what they want in their lives, it is simply because they made it a MUST for them. It is not just a plain wish or a should. They conditioned their mind that they MUST achieve it.

When something is a must for you, you will do whatever things to achieve it. You will force yourself to think creatively even when you are going against all odd.

The #1 Ingredient For Success

April 13th, 2008

Everyone is pursuing for success. Both you and I have the same goal, that is we want to achieve great success, right? Or else you won’t be reading this right now. The only reason you are reading this right now means that you are interested to know what is the number one ingredient for success. So, what is the number one ingredient for success? I believe that you already know what it is. Is it our mindset? Is it our thinking? Yes, it has to do with our mindset and our thinking.

Believe In Yourself

If you read this post of mine, The Ultimate Success Formula, you will know which is the number one ingredient for success. Did you believe that there is certain formula which every successful people like Donald Trump, Warren Buffet, Ewen Chia etc have? For me, yes, there is certain set of formula which you can follow if you want to create amazing results just like them. And it is called The Ultimate Success Formula.

So what is the number one ingredient for success? It is this, your belief systems.

What you believe is going to be real and what you believe is going to come true. Just like the Law of Attraction, you will attract what you think. If you want to be a millionaire, then must start to imagine how much money you have and how are you going to use them. The same concept applies here. 50 years ago, nobody knows that we can use a device called ‘hand phone’ or ‘mobile phone’ to communicate with each other even though we are far away. 50 years back, a hand phone is a myth! You must start to believe that it is possible first, then only it will come true.

Luke Skywalker : ‘I don’t believe it!’
Master Yoda : ‘That is why you fail!’
(from Star Wars : The Empire Strikes Back)

You must remember this, what you believe is only true to you. Your belief is never real, it is real only to you. Just like Henry Ford, he believes that it is possible to invent a vehicle called car. At that time, nobody actually believes Henry Ford, everyone laughs at him, saying he was crazy. However, what you can see now is the results of his believe. He became the number one car manufacturer, this is the powerful of our belief systems. So can you see what you can achieve now? Everything is possible as long as you have a strong believe.

Breaking The Beliefs of The World

Whenever I talk about belief system, I will think of this person called Roger Bannister. If you are a loyal reader of my blog, you will already know who he is. He is the one who broke the beliefs of the world. He breaks the myth and tells everyone that it is possible. And right after he did it, many other people achieve the same result. You can read this post here, Breaking The Beliefs of The World.

Another real-life story is this, this incident happens to an insurance boss, Morris Goodman. The full story is just like below:

In 1981, insurance boss, Morris Goodman, was a victim of a plane crash which he was piloting. His injuries were so severe, so extreme, so much so that his neck was broken in two places, his diaphragm was crushed and his nerves were damaged very badly. His wife was told by the doctor that he would be paralyzed from the neck down for life. She was also told that he was not able to breathe on his own without the use of a respirator.

However, Morris Goodman believed so much in the belief that whatever he set his mind to, he could achieve. Within a period of six months, he walked out of the hospital without any medical aid, without any mechanical aid. His doctors were shocked, and Morris Goodman was later named ‘the miracle man’.

Can you see it now? Our belief system is something amazing, you can create everything you want, you can achieve anything you want, you can have everything you wish for if you use it wisely. In fact, I have posted quite a lot of articles regarding belief system, here is another interesting post you can read, Your Beliefs Determine Your Success.

I hope that you can see it by now. If you want to be successful, you will first have to believe in it. Actually, it is a MUST. You must believe that it is possible for you! If you want to be an internet millionaire today, and earn big money online, you must first believe that it is possible for you. The next thing you should do is to imagine about it. Imagine how you are going to carry out all your online business, how the money flows into your bank account, then what are you going to do with all the money? Are you going to buy your dream car or dream house?

This is how it works. So, first step, believe in it. This is the number one ingredient for success. Without it, you can never achieve anything. Everything happens twice, once in your mind, and once in reality.

Everything Starts From Your Mind

April 3rd, 2008

Believe it or not, if you want to make $1,000,000 from the net, you will have to start it from your mind, from your thinking. For me, nothing can ever beat your mindset. It is the most important asset in your life. Your mindset, or your thinking is the only factor that determines your future, your results, what you want in life, how much money you make each month, everything!

Starts From Your Mind

Let me show you some truth, some real life examples. At the age of 8, Tiger Woods set his goal of breaking every record set in golf and to become the world’s number one golfer. He accomplish this feat at 13 years later at the age of 21. How? He spent those 13 years focusing on his game in order to take it to the level he needed to make him to be the best. Now, how did Tiger Woods achieved all these amazing results in his life? That is mainly because he thinks of it! With all the achievements he got today, it is because he had the thinking of wanted to be a champion golfer.

What about Steven Spielberg? At the age of 12, Steven Spielberg knew that what he wanted to do was to tell stories to the world by making movies. It was this specific goal that directed him to spend his time making home videos at the age of 12 and exposing himself to movie sets at universal studios at the age of 18. It was these years of focused effort that allowed him to build the level of experience and skill he needed to make some of the best movies around.

Can you see it now? It is because of the thinking again. It is because he keeps on thinking about wanting to tell stories to the whole world through his movies. It all starts from his thinking, his mindset. Without all these thinking, did you think that he can ever achieve such a great results? (Wanted to know how powerful dreams can be? Read, The Power of Dreams)

The Law of Attraction

You bet, that will be impossible! If you know what is the Law of Attraction, then you will understand how thinking can affects everything in our life. If you want to be an internet millionaire, then you must first adopt the mindset and the thinking of how being an internet millionaire is all about. You have to keep on telling yourself that you are internet millionaire. You have to think about how much money you are going to make each and everyday. It is your thinking and your mindset that creates your future. What kind of life you are living in right now, only means that you have that kind of thinking.

Attracts What You Want

If you are poor today, it is because you keep on thinking that money is not enough! You have to work harder to pay for all your dept. In the end, you will only attracts what is in your mind, which is dept. So if you want to have a happy life, you have to constantly think about something joyful. It will attracts all the happiness to you. Have you ever wondered why some rich people can make so much money in just a short time, then lose all of the money. After awhile, they can somehow gain back all their wealth again?

This is because in the beginning, they keep on thinking about money. It is all about money that flows in their mind, and therefore, they attract money. They become rich in a very short time. After that, once they have all those money, they are afraid of losing it. Guess what, they lost all of their wealth, because they keep on thinking of the fear of losing money. And once they lose all the money, they will start to think about how to attract money once again. This tells us that it is our mindset and our thinking that determine what we want in our life!

Your Thinking Determines Your Action

What you think in your mind is going to determine what you want in your life. This is because your thinking will affects your action. Imagine this, if you keep on thinking about wanting to buy a brand new mobile phone that badly, do you think that you will actually buy it in the end? I’m sure you know the answer. It is same in sports. If you keep on thinking about how you can improve your basketball skills, your thinking is going to lead you into taking real actions. You are going to play basketball more often, you will keep on striving to improve your skill.

This is how your thinking attracts what you want the most for you. I hope you can see it clearly by now, it is our mindset and our thinking that makes everything possible. Everything happens twice, once in your mind, as what you think, and once in reality. That is why you have to think about what you want every single day. Remember this, thinking equals building. If you think about how to get rich, you are actually building a wealthy life.
