Few people go deep enough within their soul to realize in its entire fullness, breadth and scope amazing gift of life that enables them to pursue a lifetime of accomplishment. What a marvelous gift. What power! God has endowed us with power to think, to believe, to create, to imagine, to choose, to feel, to aspire. Having a wonderful sense of appreciation puts all our petty complaints and frustrations, irritants and negativity into perspective. You live on a realm beyond grudges, ingratitude, selfishness and take-for grant-ed-ness. You enjoy and value each moment and are determined to get best out of every second.

Don't forget that God is a living energy to quicken, increase, and guide our own energy. The Infinite Power Source is a living elixir to lift up, sustain, and establish our own spirit. Being negative takes spirit out of you. What is point of God increasing your spirit while you at same time decrease it with negatives? If you refuse God's gift of an abundant life, then you must do without it.

Our minds, which thinks so ceaselessly and insistently, is most marvelous instrument imaginable; but it is up to us to control it and to choose kind of thoughts we think, to train ourselves in appreciating all flowers that come into our life, and deal with weeds.

Yes, we must come to terms with silent and perennial truth that field of human life will always consist of good, bad and ugly coexisting together. We all experience good in our lives, but intertwined with good is bad and ugly. Finding ugly and unpleasant mixed in with wheat is an everyday experience and each of us has to deal with inherent difficulties involved.

But lest we become arrogant, we also understand that not only do we live with and intermingle with both wheat and thistles but they exist within each of us. Collectively and individually, we are capable of heart-touching kindness towards one another as well as heartbreaking evil. We are capable of building up and capable of tearing down, capable of great love and capable of seething hatred, capable of horrendous evil as well as remarkable good. When you are able to appreciate life and accept it on its own terms, you harmonize your mind with God's mind; with universal intelligence, power and glory.

Every day lift yourself up in your own mind, mood, imagination, sheer inner conviction. Everyday, give praise to author of life and glory in its wonders. Every day do something with a sense of freedom and spontaneity, something you have wanted to do or felt you should do, but have shirked because life is not going way you want it. Every day try to do something to make life pleasant for someone else for no other reason than joy experienced from it. Then watch as these active, happy, positive inner states increase and grow, to bless you and transform you, to bless and transform world!

Next step is to write down things that are required to achieve this goal Here’s some ideas:

Take a time out away from what’s causing stress. - walk away from it for awhile – go do something else – find a place to stretch out and relax – find someone to talk to about your stress – begin to brainstorm what caused your stress in first place – make note of consequences for letting your stress continue.

Now address this problem on a daily basis even when you are not stressful Plan daily exercises which might be things such as; Joining a YMCA or health club and using their facilities for at least 30 minutes a day – spent an allotted time each day in a secluded and quiet place just relaxing and listening to soothing music. Read articles and or books about managing stress. Just designate at least one activity each day that addresses this problem.

You will now be able to identify why you weren't successful in past and how to avoid failure in future for achieving your goals. You should no longer have any excuses for not accomplishing your goals.

If you have finally decided time has come to change your lifestyle and way you do things in more positive ways then my methods are exactly what you need. Try them. You'll love feeling when your goals become reality. I guarantee it.
