Striving For Success

Beyond Success
By: Kade Gillingham




Striving for success can be a long and winding road with many speed humps and pot holes along the way. Success means different things to different people, whether it be relationships, finances, careers, family or health.

Realistically we all want to be successful in all areas of our lives and we are only limited by the questions that we ask ourselves.

While you may be very successful in one area of your life, let’s say your career, your health may be a little down as a result from the extra effort you have put in to your work to achieve that level of success.

Another example would be if you are spending a lot of time on your investing and finances you may be putting pressure on a relationship.

In order to bring some balance into your life you need to prioritize your values and spend your time on different areas of your life accordingly.

Looking at the example above, if your health is being affected by the hours you are doing at work you really need to sit down and prioritize your values. If you keep putting pressure on your body and your health, eventually it will catch up with you and won't be able to do your job.

Working out what is most important to you is the first step towards achieving the level of success that you desire. Being grateful for what you already have will enable you to grow.

Paul Blackburn is founder of Beyond Success and has been a coach for over 25 years. His top ten clients have a combined net worth of over 100 million dollars. He has coached CEO's, high profile athletes and business owners from all over the globe.

Paul has recently launched a new product called "Blockage Busters" which teaches you how to smash through the mental blockages that stop you from achieving what you set out to achieve. In his course he talks about goal setting and how most people rarely achieve there desired goals due to their subconscious thoughts.

You see, your subconscious mind has the last word on most of your actions. You might say “I want to make a million dollars in the next year” but your subconscious mind has a program that says “making money is hard work and you can’t make that amount of money so quickly. Best you don’t try and risk losing everything”.

If your subconscious isn’t programmed to accept that making a million dollars is possible, then simply asking for it won’t make it come true. You could spend years trying to achieve your financial goal but all you end up with is frustration.

If your conscious and subconscious minds aren’t in agreement then taking action to achieve your goal will stir up negative emotions. You will feel fear, anxiety, frustration and a sense of being overwhelmed and bogged down. Sound familiar?

If so, that’s your subconscious mind saying, “I told you so and I’ll prove you can’t make a million dollars”

Yours in success,

Speed Reading

Advanced Top Techniques To Conquer Speed Reading!
By: Joe Okoro




The art of speed reading is a technique each speed reader tries to acquire over time. Speed reading is guided by two main components, speed and comprehension. Once you have comprehension, reading any material in any field becomes less a problem in terms of speed and understanding. However, for the starter, to acquire this art, he will need to employ techniques and strategies to accomplish expertise in speed reading.

To be a good speed reader, you need to implement some strategies. And these strategies need practice upon practice to make them work very well. When you are starting out, do not set unachievable goals such as trying to read and complete a big volume book in a single day. Instead of helping you to achieve speed reading, it will only frustrate your efforts. I would recommend say reading a chapter each and every day to make it interesting for you.

In reading, the focus should be on understanding the contents of a material in a limited time. Therefore, when you are previewing a material you are about to read, your concern should be to familiarise yourself with the topic and possibly scan for main points. When you come across unfamiliar words, brisk over it and try to derive meaning from context, if this fails you may consult a thesaurus later on to clear your mind on the meaning.

As a starter, the initial steps should be to test your reading and comprehension speed presently and time yourself with a stop watch. Do this repeatedly and see if you are able to read faster. If you see improvements, it will help you to want to do more in reading. However, if you do not see any noticeable improvements, then do not worry yourself, because you may need more time and practice to jump from your present rate to a speed readers rate. Just know that this will take you some time and practice to achieve. Now let us be more practical. If you want to start reading, get yourself a progress chart, a stop watch, a pen and a reading material. And follow the steps below:

Get your chart ready by first arranging your reading rate as below:

Progress chart: Words per second/minute / Comprehension
Reading material 1.

As you read a whole article, try timing yourself with the stop watch, record the total time. Count the words of the article and divide by the time it took you, in seconds. Record your comprehension level. Practice more with same article. Now record your time. You will notice that as you continue your word per second increases. Now, take another article of about the same length and read, repeat the exercise again.

You may want to go further by getting all the material you are familiar with and set goals as the time span you would want to complete a particular book. When you set goals, make sure you achieve them. Let's examine the short sample below:

Two prominent people in science Dr. Ulene and his wife discovered vital information about vitamins, this information include administration, uses, and required amount of vitamins in the body for proper body metabolism.

A good speed reader's comprehension goes this way: The Ulene's find out important information about vitamins.

There are still some little additional details that the speed reader would not want to bother himself with, therefore, he picks only needed details to him.

Spiritual Keys To Life

Acceptance is the Spiritual Key to Non-Judgment
By: Richard Blackstone




The paradigm of love, unity and oneness teaches us to neither judge nor condemn because there is no “right or wrong.” There only is “what is.” It is in our judgments that the concepts of “right or wrong” become so real to us. Now think of this. What if we viewed the people and events in our lives the way that the God of unconditional love does?

This God views our lives with total acceptance. This God understands that you are at free will to choose any experience that you desire. That is your mission. To choose experiences here in the relative world so that God may know herself through us and experience all that she knows conceptually from the absolute world.

We are God, Goding so that in, as, and through us we are collaborators in God's experiences. As such, everything we do and every person we meet fulfills our mission and we accomplish this by being the creators of our experience through our free will.

We have created or co-created every person and event that shows up in our lives. When you are awake you are aware of this. When you are sleepwalking you are unaware of this.

From the macro-perspective, from God's perspective, it is easier to see how it makes no sense to judge the people and events that show up in our lives. They are merely people and events that we have drawn to us through our creation of our life.

The tool that is necessary to view these people and events to see if they serve us is the tool of acceptance.

Acceptance allows us to view our creations in their full light. We are not filtering the light of our creations with labels and limitations. We don't limit our perspectives by judging what shows up. We allow maximum exposure so that we can observe our creation and see if it serves us or not.

If we observe that it does not serve us we do not condemn it. We accept it and bless it and then choose another experience and create that. In this way we do not slow down our evolution. We allow ourselves to evolve at a faster pace because we are responsible for our creations. We don't disown them or condemn them through judgment. That would be irresponsible.

Can you begin to see how, by using the tool of acceptance, you can start to eliminate the value judgments of “right and wrong” from the people and events that show up in your life? By accepting what shows up in your life you are merely acknowledging what is. This person or that event showed up in your life. That's what is. It's not “right or wrong” or “good or bad” in and of itself. It's just what is at that point in your life.

If you are awake and aware you understand this and are able to look at what is and see how it can serve you. That is, you get to put the meaning to whatever it is that showed up in you life. Sleepwalkers always add labels like right, wrong, good, or bad.

The person walking in awareness understands these labels inhibit the ability of whatever shows up to serve us. Instead they use the tool of acceptance to allow them to view what is without labels or judgments and put whatever meaning to it that would best serve their purpose for creating it in the first place.

You need to understand that we get to put the meaning to any person or event that shows up in our lives. When we judge, we restrict our ability to make what is meaningful (full of meaning).

When we accept “what is” without judgment we are able to assign a meaning to “what is” that is beneficial to our overall goals. It is totally up to you to assign whatever “what is” means to you. If you are consciously aware you will more that likely use whatever shows up to help you in your evolvement.

If you are sleepwalking you will more than likely judge and condemn whatever shows up and, in effect, slow down your evolution. Once again, the choice is yours. If we observe the two concepts it appears that judging what shows up in our lives does not serve us, while accepting what shows up in our lives does serve us.

Judging is a concept that is based in the fear-based paradigm of separation. Acceptance is a concept that is based in the love-based paradigm of oneness. I don't need to tell you because you already know this, don't you?

In this love-based paradigm of oneness we accept and bless all the people and events that show up in our lives as different aspects of our individual and joint creations. This sounds great and on an esoteric level it is doable. It is also doable on the physical level that we live in.

All you need do is consciously change your perspective of life from fear to love.

Extraordinary Life

Change Your Life By Changing Your Mind - How To Create And Extraordinary Life

Do you want to create change in your life? Do you wake up in the mornings with the sense that you could be doing something different that would be more fulfilling? Do you toss and turn at nights wondering what more is out there for you? Don’t worry, you are not alone. People are dynamic, we need change, unfortunately not many people understand the psychology behind change. If it were as easy as reading the latest self-help book or attending a weekend seminar, you would find yourself accomplishing everything you wanted to accomplish and experiencing fulfillment in every facet of your life. So what’s the barrier to realizing change? It’s habits. As appealing as change may sound, we habitually prefer the comfort of familiarity over the uncomfortable, often difficult process of making the changes that will lead to a more fulfilling life. So how do you break this habit? The first thing you can do is understand the psychology behind change. Don’t worry, it’s not rocket science, it’s about patterns of behavior and thought.

Research has shown that for a lasting change to occur, individuals must have:

1. insight into a need or the desire to make a change,
2. motivation for making a change,
3. knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for change,
4. real world experience to apply new knowledge, skills and abilities, and
5. accountability linked to the change process.

Let’s look at each of these requirements to change. First is insight into a need, or the desire to make change. This typically stems from a life transition such as ending a relationship, loosing or changing a job, approaching a birthday, anniversary or new year. Whatever the origin of the insight, the result is the same, you are left with an unsettling sense that something needs to be different.

Is that nagging voice in your head enough to drive you to change? That depends. Your life circumstances will greatly influence your motivation. The 45-year-old mother of three will have a different motivating force than the 24-year-old single college graduate. If your desires for change are realistic within the context of your current circumstances, the motivation for action will be present. The thoughts about what the future holds will now be keeping you up at night.

It’s time to take action. “But what action” you may ask. The first step is to clearly define what your future looks like. With a clear picture of your ideal future you can begin to identify the steps it will take to get you there. You will probably need to acquire new skills, make new acquaintances, and have new experiences. You will need an action plan to move you from what you currently know and do to your vision boardof what could be. Here is where most people get derailed. Here is where the difficult and uncomfortable part of change comes into play. It’s easy to dream about a new reality, but to take action requires work. Not only work to learn new techniques or tactical ways of doing things, you have to look at your patterns of thought. Your inner saboteur will come in and tell you “this is too difficult, you’ll never get it, you could be spending your time, energy, money on something else, and it’s not worth it”. So you go back to doing what you’ve always done, and you get what you’ve always gotten.

The only way to break this pattern of complacency is to hold yourself accountable for taking action. Most people cannot do this alone. Most people need someone outside themselves to keep them on track, sticking to the plan. You need to have an unconditional collaborator (partner, friend, family member or coach) to hold you accountable for getting off the couch and out into the world of possibility. You need someone to push you through the difficult process of changing your habits and thoughts. You need someone to slay your inner saboteur.

Do you think you’re ready to take action on changing your life? The first thing you need to do is find that unconditional collaborator. A few people will have these types of relationships readily at hand, a partner, friend or family member. Most of us, however, get lost in the emotional dynamics of their existing relationships so much so that having them play an unconditional role in your change process is unrealistic. Hiring a personal coach to take you through the process is an option many are discovering. Professionally trained personal coaches know the psychological process that underlie change and can customize a program based on your particular needs and goals. Quality Life Solutions personal coaches use the DARE model to creating lasting change. To put it to use for yourself, take the following steps:

Define: What is your burning desire? Where do you want to see yourself a year from now? 3, 5 and 10 years out? Do you want wealth? Do you want to find your soul mate? Do you want a healthy body? Mind? Soul? Do you want to accelerate your career to a higher level of success? Start your own business? DARE to define exactly what you want. Create the vision boardof your future and put it on paper. Cut out pictures, write down aspirations and don’t hold back. Action: Planned, purposeful action paired with affirmations, influence internal forces to create lasting change. Write down the action steps to get there. You may not know all the steps initially, but with each step written and taken, the path will become clearer and you will move closer to accomplishing your goals. Write down affirmations and repeat them several times everyday, especially when you wake up and before you go to sleep at night. Affirmations are a necessary part of reprogramming your thoughts. Receive: By examining the attitudes, behaviors and beliefs that may interfere with achieving goals, you will be prepared to receive and accept the changes that come through the Define and Action process. Use your unconditional collaborator to pull you through this difficult process. Remember, you are worthy of an extraordinary life. Expand: Never stop growing. Reflect and expand on the process. Repeat the cycle and realize dreams you never before thought possible.

Change is a difficult process; however, you can take comfort in the fact that your desire for change is part of personal growth. If it were easy, you would never come across anyone in an unsettled state. The key is to make your transitions in life as effective as possible. Creating your extraordinary life is within your reach, with guidance and determination you can accomplish anything you desire.

Take Action Affirmations Will Get You Going

Action is the bridge that connects ideas and thoughts into the physical world. Take action affirmations are absolutely necessary because they provide the confidence needed to wholeheartedly pursue your goals. A simple affirmation such as: “I faithfully pursue my goal with confidence on a daily basis”, has the power to change your life forever.

Procrastination is a thief that will rob you at gunpoint and force you to stay average, in your comfort zone, and not accomplishing a whole heck of a lot. Procrastination should be viewed as an enemy, an enemy that will keep you living far below your true potential.

If you had to be who you are now for the rest of your life, would you be happy? Are you totally happy and fulfilled with how your life is going? It is my belief that if that were true, you would not be reading this. Many people would say that you just need motivation, but how do you get motivated? Vision is the answer.

You need a personal vision that is so compelling that you will and must do whatever it takes to accomplish it. What are five things you desire so badly that you will do anything (within reason) for them? Write a detailed description of how your perfect home looks. How does your ideal family life look? What is your dream job? What is your dream income?

To get from where you are currently to where you want to be, you may need to recondition your mind for success. In addition to motivational/ inspirational books and tapes, specific affirmations that cause you to take action are absolutely necessary. Decide what you want, create affirmations based on the goals you’ve set for yourself, and recondition your mind by repeating your Take Action Affirmation Statements fifty to one hundred times a day, every day.
