Does your work make you happy and proud?

How do you feel when you accomplish something in your work and/or business? Does it make you feel proud, happy, self-confident and self-reliant? These are feelings that you want to hold onto and working will help you keep these feelings!

Do you feel better about yourself because of your work?

The feelings you get when you bring your business to life make you feel good about yourself. Not doing anything and being unmotivated will not make you feel good about yourself and will just bring you down. It will also bring down ones you love!

What does your work do for your family?

Your work is also important to your family. Income aside, way you feel about yourself because of your business and/or work has a direct affect on how you treat your family and how they can relate to you. If you are happy, self-confident and feeling good your loved ones will be much happier and feeling good as well!

Think about all these reasons to carry on and I think your motivation will pick up enough to get back to business. Once back in business, you will be motivated even more.

Not only are there links (towards bottom) for helping people to cope after such a tragedy, but there are links for you to offer help or donations, which can be helpful to you as well. There is also a link for support groups, prayer groups and much more.

I hope I have helped you see some of reasons that it is important to keep going and proceed with our daily lives. America will overcome and we can all help her remain strong!

As soon as you feel out of your comfort zone, expect that your head will jump in with every doubt, disbelief, criticism, negative view, impossibility, and impracticality to pull you right back into old version of yourself and your life that you are now striving to outgrow. “As you think, so you shall have.” That saying is true. But another saying, “Seeing is believing,” is not - as least not when it comes to creating life you want. For that purpose, you must turn saying around: “Believing is seeing.”

You have to picture it - whatever “it” is - mentally. Only then will you receive it.

When you picture your ideal life, day in and day out, somehow your subconscious mind cannot distinguish between past and future. It focuses on exact picture you hold in mind, one you have most feeling for.

Now, I actually did this in form of a treasure map. This is an empowering and powerful tool you can use to create and manifest all that you desire in your life. The process is actually quite simple, and it’s fun, too. Take a pile of old magazines and cut out pictures of everything you want to be, do, and have. I mean, get down to business. How do you really want to look, feel, and be? What exactly do you want to own? Where precisely do you want to travel? How do you really want to spend your leisure time? What does your ideal mate look like? How do you want to contribute to lives of others? From magazines, cut out pictures and words that will form a large, detailed picture of your life. Your ideal life, your dream life. And don’t hold back. Go all way!

When I did this, I was a student in school, broke and struggling, but very excited about creating a brand-new life for myself. One of pictures I cut out was of Dome of Rock in Jerusalem. I had always wanted to go to Middle East. I thought it would take many years for me to get there. Six weeks after creating my treasure map, I was standing in front of Dome of Rock in Jerusalem. That was picture that I had most feeling for, so that was what I manifested first. The treasure map works! The universe is not void. Our thoughts do have power.

That which we focus on, we draw directly to us. You can’t simply will it, like some sort of forced mind control. That won’t work. You have to genuinely believe in what you want to bring about in your life. The most important factor in process is your feeling of excitement about what you want to see come into your life.

Once you have true inner belief, conviction, and natural excitement, key to receiving what you wish for is to let go. Let go and trust that you will receive all you desire, simply because you deserve to receive every joy you can conceive.

I do understand that letting go is hardest part. But when you look at this treasure map, day in and day out, and you see in those pictures ideal life you want, somehow, bit by bit, pictures become your reality. In my case, perhaps because so many of pictures seemed to be out of realm of logical possibility at time, I did not expect to achieve my desires quickly; I was not too attached to having them become manifest right away. Each picture represented a genuine want, but how could I be emotionally attached or feel desperate about something like a trip to other side of world when I barely had money to buy groceries? Perhaps my lack of attachment kept me out of my own way. When we hold on too tightly, we instill fear instead of faith or belief or self-worth that needs to preside. Every one of us deserves to have it all in our lives. Why should someone else have it all and not you?

In a nutshell, DECIDE to create every thing and experience you want. Picture it. Know when it feels right, and exciting, it is on its way to you. Expect it!
