Success through awareness

Success through awareness

Success is a very hot topic in our society today. Each person has their own definition of the word, so I will not define it for you. However, I will state two things. First, remind you that YOU are the one that gets to decide what success means. Second, is what I've chosen to take into account for defining success. For me success is determined by the following four factors, not in any specific order. (a) Getting the results that I am looking to achieve (b) using a process that is balanced and works for me (c) while nurturing relationships in the process (d) and knowing that what I am creating is of service to myself and others. Yes, it must be a win-win for everyone involved for me to consider it a success.

In either case, in order to create success there is a very specific process. If you are not getting the results you want, you must first become clear and aware of what you want to change, make different, or make better whether in life or in your business. Without becoming aware about what you want to change, it is nearly impossible to make any kind of change permanent or even long-term. So the key first step is becoming clear about what you want and aware of what needs to change. This way you can actually begin to take steps to make that change. Once you've become aware and clear of what you want, then you can begin the journey of making the changes and creating your success.

Though it is possible to gain this awareness on your own it is not the easiest. Notice that every great figure has always had someone there to support them in their journey to success. This is true in sports, religion, politics, and every other area of life. Often they are supported by mentors, coaches, and others who are able to see what the individual is not able to see. Think of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, any President, they all have a team of people supporting them in creating their success.

So, what steps can you take to support your success?

Get a coach or a mentor to support you.

Be willing to be honest with yourself and see those things that are not supporting you.

Have the courage and commitment to make a change.

Nurture your relationships in the process.

Keep looking for the process that will work with and for you.

Be of service, focus on supporting the success of others & you will nurture your success in the process.

Keep connecting to resources that will help you gain knowledge and apply that knowledge.

Take any or all of these steps and begin take your current success to the next level.

Develop the Discipline

2008-05-12T01:56:00.001-07:00

Develop the Discipline to Get Things Done - Step 2

In life, all the rewards go to those who actually get things done. They go to those who have the discipline to do what they have set out to do. The rewards go to you.

Decide right now, what it is that you want, and what behaviors will give it to you.

Once you have decided what needs to be done, there are five steps to developing the discipline needed to do it. I've shared when to get things done, now let's look at how.

Step 2: How Now that you have decided what needs to be done and you have decided when to do it, the next step is to determine the guidelines on how it is going to be done.

This may sound simple, but it can actually be a little bit tricky. The reason is that even the most disciplined people and organizations often require flexibility to deal with changing situations on the front lines.

So when it comes to the "how," there is a choice that needs to be made.

Some things need to be carried out in accordance with predetermined procedures. There is little room for variation. The procedure must be followed.

Other things need to be carried out based on established principles. There is more flexibility here for individual thought and decision making at the time of execution so long as the principles are adhered to and the end results are achieved.

Discipline requires a decision: Should behavior follow a predetermined process? Or, should it be empowered based on established principles?

In either case, for discipline to be effective, principles and procedures need to be established in advance to guide people's behavior.

You can think of it this way:

Principles are rules or ideas that guide people's behaviors, such as "Treat the customer with respect," "Always act with integrity," or "Put quality first."

Procedures, on the other hand, lay out in detail what actions need to be taken and in what order, such as "Seal the envelope, apply a 25� stamp to the upper right-hand corner of the envelope, and then place the envelope in the postbox."

Principles are used to govern behavior in situations where people are highly competent and where a great deal of leeway is required on the ground to adapt to changing circumstances.

Procedures are well suited to situations where more consistency is required, where people lack the competence to make decisions on their own, or where the environment is fixed and little adaptation is required.

Starting Home-Based Business

2008-05-12T01:55:00.003-07:00

Finding Balance In My Life After Starting Home-Based Business

I am really trying hard to keep balance in my life with my new home-based internet marketing business. It has been hard, because I am also teaching piano full-time from my home! Having over 60 students(half-hoursessions), it becomes hard to fit in everything that I need to do in a 24 hour period.I am finding myself driven to work in my online business for several hours a day when I am not teaching. It seems as though posting on Craigs List is MUCH more important than doing the wash, vacuuming, or taking my dog Bella out for a long walk. Having a successful online business takes work,drive,desire,motivation, and most of all, it takes time. I do think, however, that if our lives go out of balance because of the all-consuming home-based business, that we will run into problems. It has been a month now since starting my online business and my life is still out of balance. I have not been excercising, my eating is poor, and things that are normally a priority for me have been put on the back burner. I decided this evening that I will find a return to balance in my life starting tomorrow. I will do it slowly, because trying to return to balance too fast will put me out of balance again!

I Absolutely Love Working For Myself!

2008-05-12T01:55:00.001-07:00

I Absolutely Love Working For Myself!

I absolutely love working for myself ! It is lonely at times, and it takes discipline, however what could be better! I drink coffee when I want, eat when I want, throw in a load of laundry when I want, take the dog out, make a call, surf the net.. all when I want! The greatest part of working for yourself is not having anyone looking over your shoulder. I have had the craziest, zaniest, unstable bosses in my work history. It had been so bad at one time that I actually thought that I was going totally one hundred percent crazy! It was not a great time in my life to say the least! Right now I work from home one hundred percent of the time. I technically have two home-based businesses. I work as a piano teacher for about 30 hours a week. This is hard labor because I work harder than the children at times! The great part of this, however is that I get paid tuition by the month, regardless of whether the children show up or not! I have the benefit of a salaried pay structure, even though it is my own business. I also get about 5 weeks of vacation and 4 day per week summers. Overall, this is a pretty good deal and I am certainly not complaining! I also work in internet marketing. I call myself an experienced newbie because I spend several hours a day learning about this very exciting field! I sell two different wealth generating programs as well as various affiliate programs. I am having so much fun learning, and I feel like my learning curve is huge at this time! I am excited, challenged, and highly motivated in what I am doing. I will not say that I do not get frustrated at times, because I do. This is a tough business! Overall, I do love to work at home and I make a pretty nice living doing so! I try to get to the gym and go outside of the house to meet people so I do not get too lonely. I do not believe that I could ever work for anyone else again!

Mental Radionics

Quantum Physics + Mental Radionics part 1

Quantum Physics and Mental

Radionics

Part 1

We have just entered the Age of Aquarius which will be with us for the next 2000 years or so.. This is the Age of Science, the Age of "I Know," The Age of the Mind.

We have already been given three gifts from the New Age of Aquarius. These are the Science of Radionics, Laws of Quantum Physics and the Internet.

Let's start with the Internet. The Age of Aquarius is designated the Age of "I Know." The time of the middle man, The Age of Pisces is over. No longer will man need to ask anyone else for advice. The answer to all of his questions will be answered directly by himself. He will KNOW the answers to his questions by direct perception.

As we continue on this 2000 year voyage into the Age of "I Know," the internet will be invaluable for providing the wisdom and knowledge man will need for self direction.

As I write this article wise men and women all over the world are also writing articles, essays, building websites with valuable wisdom and knowledge to be shared by all.

No longer will the wisdom and knowledge of Creation and Co-Creation be held in secrecy by a select few.

The knowledge and wisdom which will allow man to evolve; to raise his level of consciousness; to become more God-like will be available free for all who have eyes to see and desire to search. On the more mundane levels, man will have the tools, wisdom and knowledge at his disposal to attract more health, wealth, and love into his life now. That is the power and the gift of the internet.

The Laws of Quantum Physics tell us that there is an infinite Ocean of Thinking energy called the Quantum Ocean. I like to think of it as the Mind of God.

In this infinite Ocean of intelligent unmanifested energy all exists. Everything that ever was, is or will be is in the Quantum Ocean (Mind of God.) There is no time. There is no past, present or future. There is only the NOW. There is no physical space, only the here. The Quantum Ocean is the HERE-NOW of reality.

The most importantant quality of this intelligent thinking, infinite ocean, called the Quantum Ocean (Mind of God) is that it responds to the thoughts of man.

What ever man thinks will respond to similar thoughts in the Quantum Ocean. These thoughts will manifest into the physical reality of the the thinker.

What you think about you will eventually get. Watch your thoughts. What you have thought about yesterday and all the yesterday's before, have created you physical reality or your today.

The beauty of the gift of the Laws of Quantum Physics and the Quantum Ocean is thay you can change your life by changing your thoughts.

The science of Radionics has been around for about a hundred years. There are many pioneers in this field, Wilhelm Reich being the most famous.

Simply speaking Radionics is Magic at a distance. It is the affecting and attracting of the unmanifested intelligent energies of the Quantum Ocean. You bring these energies into your life to improve it.

Radionics works on three principles. You need a power source, and intention (What you want?) and a Target (Where do you want the attracted energies to go?)

Radionics devices come in all shapes and sizes. From an expensive $5000 electronics model; a home made Orgone Generator to a hand drawn symbolic schematic on a piece of paper. They all work in various degrees.

Now, during the Age of Aquarius, the Age of the Mind, we now have the powerful tool of "Mental Radionics."

We no longer need a Radionics device, unless you enjoy using one.

The mind is the power source. A simple symbol or mental picture is the intent. Your Aura (energy field) is the target.

Your mind has the power to take your mental picture or symbol connect it to the non-manifested energies within the Quantum Ocean (Mind of God) and attract these energies into yor Aura. What ever energies you carry in your Aura, attracts your life.

My next article will give specific and practical uses of Mental Radionics

Keeping Up When You Feel Like Giving Up In Your Online Home Business
Usually I write an article when I have a strong need to express my thoughts and feelings. Today is actually one of those days. I am feeling a little bit burnt out today in this very competitive, challenging, but exciting business. This is actually a day that I feel like "throwing in the towel" and walking away from this business forever. I am tired of posting so many ads, answering emails, and deleting junk mail. I am tired of talking to tire kickers who really never had any intention of getting involved in a home based business. I am just plain tired. I have been in my online internet marketing business for approximately 6 weeks now. I call myself an experienced newbie... since this is wnat I am. My learning curve is very high and very strong because of the time I spent researching, reading, posting, and writing in my online business. I have learned so much... and yet so little in a short time. I say this because there is SO much to learn in online internet marketing. This may actually be part of the reason why I feel discouraged right now. There is so much information that we have to take in, process, and explore and there is just not enough time in the day to do all of these things. Now when I say I feel like "giving up" I do not mean that I "will give up". I have to acknowledge these feelings strongly and take the feelings very seriously as well. My mind and body are telling me that I need to TAKE A BREAK! If I do not take a break I will become severely burnt out.. and may actually give this up for good. I do not want to do that because I have invested so much time, money, and creativity. I also actually enjoy this profession when I am not doing it ALL THE TIME. When I mention "ALL THE TIME" I actually mean that when I am not teaching piano (that is my day job) I am actually on the computer working in my online business. I had written a previous article about my life getting out of balance since I began to work from home in this internet business. It is still out of balance and it does have to change. My eating habits have improved, however, my exercise program is just awful. If I could give any advice to any internet marketer (experienced or newbie) it would be to walk away and take a very long break. I am going away for two days tomorrow and I will not bring my computer. I will practice what I preach and I know that I will come back to my online business refreshed and ready to make some awesome money online!

Quantum Physics

2008-05-12T01:53:00.001-07:00

Quantum Physics and Your Mind
Your Mind Creates Your Reality

The Age of Aquarius has given us the Laws of Quantum Physics. Simply stated the Laws of Quantum Physics tell us that there exists an infinite, intelligent ocean of energy we call the Quantum Ocean. It is for all intent and purposes the Mind of God.

This Quantum Ocean responds to the mind of man. What ever we continuously think about will eventually manifest in our life. All that ever was, is or will be exists in the Quantum Ocean. There is no time only the Here-Now. There-fore the most important tool man possesses is his mind. We have to learn how to use our mind intelligently to reap the fruits of the incoming Age of Aquarius.

Steven Hawkins said, "....The Universe depends on the observer..." What we observe we see in our mind's eye.

All illness occurs in our bodies: but the body exists in our minds. When we heal our minds with right thought, our bodies automatically heal. Time is subjective. It is a function of our mind. It is relative. Sitting on a hot stove seems to last a much longer time than making love to one's wife.

As a race we are losing our spirituality at an ever increasing rate because all our new technology has distanced us from life's magic and creativity. It would be better if we took the computers and video games away from the children until they were at least 14. This will give them the opportunity to discover the magic of life spontaneously.

Life is more magical than mechanical.

We are finally starting to understand Socrates when he said "...He who would change the world, must first change himself." We can do this by using our minds. We do create our own reality including illness and healing with our minds.

Life and the guiding principles of life which we are now calling the Quantum Ocean, or the Mind of God is well organized. We must use our minds to learn how to use it.

Our natural state is to be healthy, but we have used our mind to think erroneously causing our illness. All healing begins with your desire to be healed and a willingness to make the mental change to incorporate healing.

Your body was born ('Blinked out' of the Quantum Ocean) with all it needs for this incarnation. Your soul knows what to do. The more you relate to your soul, the more you will experience well being at all levels of your life. Keep in mind that our bodies and the whole Universe are 1% matter and 99% spiritual energy. Our minds use that spiritual energy.

One of the biggest blockages we have to health and well being is fear. Fear is a function of the mind about something that will come from the future. Fear cannot and does not exist in the present moment. It is a lie.

Your choices and intentions, have an impact on the Quantum Ocean and alters your physical experiences. Your mind, emotional state and beliefs affect both your illness and your healing process.

Think better thoughts and accept not knowing EVERYTHING. Socrates said, "...The only thing he knew was that he knew NOTHING." Think that you are a part of the Mind of God (Quantum Ocean) which is an ocean of consciousness, that is constantly creating good.

You are your own reality creating machine. What you constantly repeat in your words and mind, tends towards visibility in your life. Your real life is totally personal and subjective.

Ellis Peterson AKA Ragnar Storyteller is a retired math professor and electronics engineer. He has studied astrology, metaphysics, runes and quantum physics for over 25 years. He is truly a knowledgeable gray beard. His writings are refreshing. He has combined the ancient wisdom teachings with the 21st century laws of quantum physics.

Wheatgrass Juice

2008-05-12T01:52:00.003-07:00

Wheatgrass Juice - Four Reasons To Drink It
Drinking wheatgrass juice is just the latest is a growing trend towards healthy eating and living. Learn about the top four reasons why people are incorporating it into their healthy lifestyles and what exactly the benefits are.

When you take living wheatgrass juice it and take a shot of the fresh liquid, almost immediately the nutrients travel into the bloodstream and every cell, system and organ of the body becomes energized. Many people know that wheatgrass juice is good for the acid alkaline balance of the body, but many people are not aware of the other top reasons for drinking it. From how it energizes the body, the nutrients it delivers, how they build up the bodys cells, and how it cleanses the body of unhealthy toxins. This article will discuss the top four reasons for drinking fresh or powdered wheatgrass juice.

1. Energy

The amount of energy that comes from a shot of this juice in the morning is incredible. It is a great idea to start every morning with a shot of fresh wheatgrass juice as an alternative to drinking tea or coffee. It has been often said that two shots of whatgrass juice is a near equivalent to three pounds of fresh vegetables in vitamins, minerals and live nutrient energy. Just like how dark green spinach leaves contain concentrated nutrients, it is filled with many of the same elements.

2. Nutrients

The human body only requires so many different vitamins and minerals to function effectively through life. As far as the digestive system is concerned, two or three shots of fresh grass can contain enough nutrient to replace a meal. This is because we need to eat enough vegetables on a regular basis to fulfill our needs for complete protein, over thirty different enzymes and fresh chlorophyll. Our body requires vegetables to keep a balanced level of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt, and zinc. But can we build our bodies with anything other then natural foods?

3. Growth

Our body's digestive system always needs high amounts of chlorophyll and enzymes to function at its best. In order to deliver nutrients to the cells of the body, we need healthy hemoglobin cells in our blood. The chlorophyll that comes from whatgrass juice and other green vegetables contains proteins that closely match that of our body's molecules. This way we build our blood cells which in turn increases the oxygen that they can deliver to the organs and systems of the body. It assists the body in rebuilding cells while also lowing the blood pressure. But how can it build the body while simultaneously cleansing the body of toxins?

4. Detox

The cells of the body are able to eliminate waste and toxins through the lymph system. The lymph system bathes the cells and carries away the waste. The amount of lymph in your body is three times that off the blood in the body. There are a number of factors in wheatgrass juice that stimulate this system by eliminating mucus, clearing the joints and muscles while clearing the stomach. This is how the body begins the process of sweating out toxins that accumulate in the cells of the body.

Book Cover Design is Key

2008-05-12T01:52:00.001-07:00

A Good Book Cover Design is Key
Marketing your Book cover, Spine and Information. Whether you've written your book or are just starting out, having an eye catching cover is a must. Did you know that customers may be looking over your book for 10 seconds or less? A good book cover entices the customer to want to read more information and to result in a purchase. To accomplish this, you need to know what catches customer’s eyes. A good place to start is your friends and family. Ones that you trust. Ask their opinions. If you're uncomfortable with asking your inner circle or would like your books cover to be a surprise, look to the net. You can post your book's cover idea and receive feedback. Only post your idea on the net if you trust it won't be stolen. When deciding to create my book cover for Mysterious Chills and Thrills for Kids, I looked at many other ones in the children's field. I kept in mind which book covers attracted me and for the ones that didn't, why it didn't. Keep in mind that not everyone is going to agree with your taste. The same applies to your back cover information about your book. If the book is fiction, you'll need to ensure the customer that their entertainment dollars are worth purchasing your book. If your book is non-fiction, show the customer the benefits of purchasing. Can it help solve a problem? Many customers want to know that they are buying something that in some form can benefit them. You'll also need to show how your book is better than then next one in it's category. Don't forget the spine and price. If your book is spine out, it'll need to attract the customer's eyes. When they pull out your book, the price can turn a purchase away. Look at other books in the field and price accordingly. Much lower prices than your competition may appear to sell more but may give the idea that your work isn't as good. Self publishing, Small Press or a Large Publishing company, either way your book is competing against others out there. Make it count!
