How to Create Your Ideal Life.

Written by By Barbara Rose


When I lost it all, I felt powerless. During my darkest hours, I wrote letters to God asking “why?” I received answers in writing.

If you have either lost it all, or you are not passionately thrilled with your life, here is how you can turn it all around. It is easy!

If you stop to consider what’s on your mind most ofrepparttar time, I think you’ll find that your thoughts focus on those areas of your life that you are not happy about.

People who have achieved self-love and who are fulfilling their life’s passion in their work reached joy only by going through a process that was fraught with self-doubt, fear, insecurity, rejection, low self-worth, pain, and hard life lessons.

I compared myself to others who were successful and wondered, “What is wrong with me?” I wondered, “Why is my life like that of a person with a Ph.D. driving a cab?” I would look at women I admired and ask myself, “Why are they successful, fulfilling their dreams in joyful, prosperous careers, while I am struggling?” I questioned myself. I searched within. I wrote letters to God pleading for answers. And I received those answers in writing.

In our universe there is little physical proof about how to achieverepparttar 123817 manifestation of our dream life. We have been so conditioned to live trusting just our five senses that we ignorerepparttar 123818 strongest sense of all. That sense I will refer to as “instinct.”

You instinctively know your potential. You feel frustrated because you sense there must be a better way. Your feelings and senses are right.

Onrepparttar 123819 other hand, you are scared to death ofrepparttar 123820 unlimited power and potential you have within. Your past is your comfort zone because it isrepparttar 123821 only way you know. Your unconscious negative thoughts - your complaints, worries, doubts, anxieties, fears, and insecurities - are part of that comfort zone. But your soul, or instinct, knows all you are capable of. Your instinct trusts that you deserve and will receive what your heart truly desires.

So you have a little battle going on inside: self vs. instinct or soul.

Your heart, soul, and instinct say: “Go for it! You can do it. You were born to succeed. You deserverepparttar 123822 best. If you want to travel torepparttar 123823 other side ofrepparttar 123824 world, you can!” So you then feel inspired or excited. But your self steps in and says, “Are you crazy? How can you travel torepparttar 123825 other side ofrepparttar 123826 world when you don’t have enough money to buy food? Be realistic. You’re a dreamer. This is impossible. Stop fantasizing. Get back to reality.”

Does any of this sound familiar to you? Does your heart tell you one thing and your head another?

Do you feel deep within that you are in this life for a specific purpose, and then does your logic tell you otherwise?

Do you truly believe that one person hasrepparttar 123827 ability to fulfill his or her dreams, and you do not? Do you have a talent, gift, or inborn ability in a certain area? I would venture to sayrepparttar 123828 answer is yes.

Are you using it? Developing it? Exploringrepparttar 123829 possibilities or experiences you can create in your life because of it? Or, do you avoid that area all together because it is scary to go there?

If you avoid fulfilling your inborn potential, then you avoid your life purpose. You avoid what your heart wantsrepparttar 123830 most: your ideal life. This isrepparttar 123831 reason for your frustration, fear, doubt, anxiety, illness, worry, and pain.

I will give you a major indicator as to what is winning in your life: self or soul. If it feels good and right, it is right, and that is your heart and soul winning. That is your true essence coming torepparttar 123832 surface. When your head jumps in and tells you every reason why what feels so right is logically so wrong, then your self has won and has pulled you back into your old comfort zone. Then you stagnate and, as a result, you feel some form of pain.

The answer to how you create your ideal life is to do what you feel excited about doing. You follow your heart, soul, conscience, and that “still small voice” within that guides you, which is your instinct. You form a picture in your mind of your ideal life, and when you feel excited, you keep reinforcing that excitement withrepparttar 123833 assurance that you can be, do, and have all you picture.

Success on Your Terms

Success on Your Terms

Do you consider yourself a success? If you don’t, you have lots of company. Only 5 to 10 % of Americans think they are really successful. If you seek more success, ask yourself:

·What is success to me?

·What matters most to me?

·How can I become more successful?

To many people, success means things like

·Money ·Fame ·Love ·High status in society ·Great clothes ·A beautiful house ·A fast, luxurious brand new car ·A highly respected job ·Power over others ·Knowledge ·Making a contribution torepparttar world around you

What’s in your picture of success? What do you really need to be a success, on your terms?

One ofrepparttar 123816 best definitions that I have seen for success is “the progressive realization of worthwhile, predetermined personal goals”. Each part of this definition is very important.

Predetermined goal means you must define what you want to achieve Surveys show that only about 3% of all people go torepparttar 123817 trouble of writing down their goals. If you take this one step, you advance much closer torepparttar 123818 winners’ circle.

What’s a worthwhile goal? One that is important to you, and is congruent with your values, and that is not aimed at hurting others. So setting a goal that really is worthwhile requires knowing something about yourself, and some quiet reflection.

Progressive realization means that you are continually moving toward your goals, and making progress. It does not mean that you must be an overnight success. There really are no such animals. Progressive realization means that success is a process more than an end point. An athlete striving to reachrepparttar 123819 Olympics is a success even before they arrive atrepparttar 123820 stadium. The end point is notrepparttar 123821 whole story.
