How much of your life do you put on hold?

During coaching sessions, people share their "I'll's" with me all time. The most popular justifications are that they are waiting waiting for money or time to magically open up.

Tracking reasons over a ten year period and finding bottom line truth, people aren't hungry enough to do what it takes to find or create money.

I'm sure you have accomplished many things in your life without money. Thus, why would you believe that these I'll can't be on that list as well?

There are five elements involved with achieving prosperity. Money only one of them. Energy (sometimes mislabelled as power), love, time and success are other four.

Belief underlies this whole process. The belief that you need money to accomplish whatever is on your list. The belief that there are no other options. And so many more. What are your beliefs that are placing your "I'll's" on your hold list?

And excellent question. However, until you are aware of what's on list, and they are a true want, you don't open up your vision to their possibilities.

The biggest time I was aware of this in my life was some years back when my father was very ill. He said to me, "Go after your dream, don't wait for anything." I'm sure you've heard that as well somewhere in your life.

Discussing that further with him, I realized that I didn't know what I wanted. So I thought. I soon realized that that wasn't it at all. I just didn't believe it was possible to "really" live way I wanted. Since then, I travelled for a year all over world, attending and teaching at conferences, attending universities, and even personally studying with well-known writers.

And how it all came about was still an awesome miracle to me. Most of adventure paid for by someone else, or an organization. But I had to take risks, at least they were big risks to me. Sometimes I didn't know how I was going to get there or back, where I was going to sleep, or what to do in between destinations. In every situation, every instance, things appeared that still leave me spell bound.

And it all began with a little trust and belief. Since this time other amazing adventures appeared, including studying with some of most amazing people in world.

Can this happen for you? You bet it can. Dr. Wayne Dyer, Donald Walsh, and Deepak Chopra, three I now call friends, tell you all about it in their books and lectures as well.

Tens of millions of Americans answer a resounding “yes” to one or more of those questions. After all, statistics report that more than 19 million of us are diagnosed with depression each year. Here are seven simple exercises to enhance your life for a lifetime:

1) ACCEPT THE LESSONS THAT ARE PRESENTED TO YOU

At times, we like to play victim role when things happen to us that are painful and difficult. First, change your attitude towards those events. A change in your mindset creates miraculous shifts in energy. Changing your perspective makes a negative situation suddenly appear positive.

Next, spend time with yourself to understand challenge for what it really is by journaling and/or meditating. In your quiet time, ask yourself why situation or person was presented to you.

Appreciate person, thing or experience that brings you lesson. Recognize that these situations are impetus for change. For instance, we may have a boss that makes our job so difficult that we decide to find a new job.

Then, when we find this new career and love it, we wonder why we didn’t change jobs sooner. In this scenario, it is important for us to realize that if we didn’t have a boss who made us want to leave our job, then we might have never left.

2) APPRECIATE ALL THINGS – GREAT AND SMALL

The lack of happiness stems from lack of recognizing that we do indeed have so much to be thankful. Even person who feels that they have nothing, upon introspection, they can find that they are blessed with abundance. For instance, do we think about gift of sight or gift of hearing? These are indeed gifts and we often forget that they are gifts.
