You Are What You Believe People believe there are hidden secrets that will propel them to success. But there are no secrets. However, there are truths, lessons, insights and actions you can take to get you where you want to be. They're not hidden, but neither are they dancing in front of you as you walk through life. You have to WANT to know them. You have to LOOK for them. You have to DO something with them once you know them.

Here are four basic truths to get you started on your road to success.

1 -- Your life will be whatever you decide to make it. You've got a choice. Today. And every other day of your life. You can’t change what has happened. But regardless of your past, you are responsible for direction of your life. No excuses – no complaints – no futile searching for secrets that don’t exist. Your life will be what you decide to make it.

For those who are suffering from stress, just about hardest thing to find is stress relief. Stress can often continue itself on its own energy and, as it mounts up upon itself, it builds itself into an absolute mental frenzy. Unfortunately, this sort of mental frenzy is ultimately counter-productive and leaves mind so frenzied that it cannot actually take care of whatever is causing stress. Thus, stress relief is a way to help mind attend to necessities of life.

The first thing you need to realize about stress is that you can get rid of it. In fact, you can control your mind and your emotions and you do not need to hang on to stress. If you learn to get rid of stress all on your own, you will be able to get rid of it that much easier next time. You control your brain a lot more than you know.

With that in mind, first way to help give yourself stress relief is with your feet. That is, if something is causing you all sorts of stress, you need to simply stand up and walk away from it. This will give your mind break it needs to calm down and come to grips with situation. Simply allowing it to stress you out more and more is simply not a productive plan. So get up, walk away, and give yourself a break.

Once you have walked away, there are several things you can do for stress relief. One of easiest things is simply cleaning house. That's right, vacuuming, dusting, ironing, scrubbing floors and cleaning countertops will actually help you relieve stress. Simply organizing messes and cleaning away dirt will help you immeasurably. This is because you will be taking care of messes, much in manner you want to clean up messes in your life. By sweeping away dust and grime, you will be taking charge of your own home and, in a way, removing clutter from your life by removing clutter from your home.
