How are you stuck, or attached to your plans working out a certain way? What opportunities are you not noticing?

Here are a few tips that helped me find perfection in my circumstances:

1. Acknowledge disappointment. It’s there. Give yourself space to feel natural disappointment present when things don’t work out way you want. The more you resist what you’re feeling more of it you’ll feel.

2. Become an observer of reality. Ask yourself, “What’s real in this moment?” The more you can experience reality for what it is and not take it personally less subject you are to it.

3. Ask yourself, “How might this situation be perfect, even if I can’t see it now?”

4. Be willing to listen and be open to spontaneity. Be curious about what else is possible.

This article is result of my willingness to find perfection in a cold, rainy May day. As far as my Florida trip went, I wound up having two unexpected and glorious days of quality time, with my grown son, truly a precious gift.

I continue to perfect my relationship with this ongoing challenge of accepting and flowing with reality as it presents itself. I am encouraged by knowing whatever happens will, in fact, be perfect.

It’s YOUR life…imagine possibilities!

Positive thinking is but a step in journey called 'success'. You need to back your thoughts with ACTION. You can think positive thoughts until your brain gets cramps but if all you do is think and not act, you'd be wasting your time.

The good thing about positive thinking is that it puts you in right frame of mind to take appropriate action.

~*~END of SIDEBAR~*~

Mark Twain (and later Napoleon Hill) said that 'What human mind can conceive and believe, human mind can achieve'.

The problem comes up after conceiving a potentially great idea. The little voice inside you starts saying things like 'that's a crazy idea' or 'nobody's ever done that before -who do you think you are?' . Your friends and family make fun of your idea. You begin to get discouraged and to think 'maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all'.

What should you do when this happens? Take control of your thoughts, that's what. Your mind has conceived it, remember, so your mind CAN achieve it. You just need to line up your thoughts and actions with what you want to do.

Tell all those naysayers (internal and external) that you will succeed in reaching your goal.

The next line of thinking after 'I CAN' is 'I WILL'.

Feed yourself with thoughts like that about yourself (and act accordingly) and you'll see your confidence, awareness and productivity soar. You'll find yourself attracting those things you want into your life.

Who says you can't make it? Tell them you CAN and you WILL. Then go out there and make it happen.
