Do you ever feel like blah?

by Steve Wickham

It's like all of his energy is sapped and for reasons unknown to you, you can not not do anything about it. For some, what happens in odd day here and there, but for others it is an experience almost every day. I am in the first category. I have a BLAH day and then what follows the next day, invariably, is an explosion of energy that apparently is equal to three days of effort and achievement. How is this so?
Fluctuation morale and motivation. Who can tell what gives here? If we know and can do something about it, then we should. Our conscience (and our conscience) is being aware that for some reason. Listen and implement everything they're saying, if not today, because you're feeling BLAH, then tomorrow should do. Just do it sometime soon.

I believe that now - BLAH. There is a lack of sleep, or a lack of spirit, or lack of energy per se. This is where the willpower comes into play. Will you make the next thing. Just start. Use your brain to process movements that are required. Move your arms and legs despite what is not going to power over them. His influence will be held soon and suddenly you are congratulating you a little job well done (or at least do).
Will is our source of mental energy - is a decision to act. It comes from disciplined thinking. They are thinking about what is right and just and equitable, and then using mental processing power.
If you have a problem with procrastination, just do something. Then do one more thing, and then another and another. Soon, the job is done!

Claims that work

by Janet Beckers

Today I would like to share with you ideas into something known as the Law of Attraction. It is widely spoken in The Secret, and successfully millions of people around the world know and use the Law of Attraction to generate the level of success they desire.
The Law of Attraction is basically a law of the universe, similar to gravity. Gravity happens if you cree or not - if you throw something in the air, it's going to fall down due to gravity. The Law of Attraction is attracting about things that you think - if you're constantly thinking of negative things that are going to attract more negativity in his life. On the other hand, if your thoughts are predominantly positive - will be experiencing situations positive and good additional opportunities will present themselves to you. You attract similar things.
That said, you can use positive affirmations to help attract the kind of things in your life you want and experience. It is important that their claims are credible for you, and you say to them at this time. In other words - you have to talk as if it has already become a reality in order to work.

If you want to be free of debt and a millionaire, is not good to tell yourself "I'm going to be a millionaire debt free." What will happen is by the time you said that it "will be" free of debt and a millionaire, will simply be on their way to that stage. You never really get there, since they are only "going to be."
Instead, his claims need to focus on what you want, as if it has already occurred in his life. You might say: "I am a millionaire debt free" as many times a day as you could, for as many days as you could, until it became true. The trick is you have to believe it. As you believe it is, who is in the frequency and transmission of vibration in the universe that will attract situations that are on the same wavelength. Opportunities begin to submit to you that you can then take action and become one step closer to its goals.
If you are having trouble believing his claims, you may have to start with qualifiers. In other words, if saying "I am a millionaire debt free" when you thousands of dollars in debt with no assets is not convincing, start with something like "Now I am ready to accept that I am now in the process of becoming a debt free millionaire. " It is long, but if you feel better to say about it, that is important because the Law of Attraction works in their feelings.

Release the reality

by Trish Lay

Birth mothers and adoptive parents often do not like to hear what I have to say. I suppose hear what could happen to your child is frightening. I do not blame them. If I have seen some future experiences of mine, I would be scared too.
My first attempt at suicide was when I was 14 years. The other attempts came to my 20, when finally achieve the strength and courage to make life and death on the table. If the death was going to be elected; commit and end things. If life is elected; commit and never go to the option of death again. Life was elected and at night face my demons physically eye to eye and told them that no longer serves a purpose in my life and never allow me screaming me-me to take.
See, as an adopted internal pain is so deep and painful it is not surprising statistics are high for suicide and substance abuse among adopted.
With the system constantly protecting the biological mother, once more that are rejected to know our origin. Not to mention the media portrays us as self-absorbed people who are trying to create chaos in our parents, when everything that finding a relationship or understanding from where it began.
Why do you want society to keep constantly in the dark? Why win the secrets and lies along the integrity, forgiveness, understanding and compassion? Life is not fairy tail, nor does it have a happy ending, we all have to die someday and pending birth and death, in which we live. Why is like an adopted since they were introduced into this world, our lives and the way we live - is decided by us? "You have no right to file his birth," which translated means "you do not have a right to know who you are." "You can not find her mother, she is protected by law." Why everyone has a beginning and an end and only have a sorta thing, but it really does not begin with an ending that does not know very well because we are not so much to our medical information that could contain important to details about our genetics, but because our right to know where we come from is illegal - to continue living in the mysterious cloud of uncertainty.

And when / if you do locate her mother, she often found to keep you from knowing the truth. Is it not surprising that the pain of rejection, abandonment, lies and secrets prevail in the deep dark abyss of our being. How can it be ignored?
This hard to see the reality is called education. I get tired of hearing about adopted I knew taking his life because they can not cope or do not know how to treat or not supported in how to deal with.
Why forgiveness can not be replaced by anger and fear? With access routes to cure, such as books, workshops, web pages and therapist specializing in adoption, there is no excuse for the lack of self-education any longer.
It's time to grow up, stop playing the victim in our situation and take the wonders of life. I had a crazy-solving life, however, I was tired of being unhappy constantly by my own volition. Step; make a difference in your own life. Find forgiveness from you and others. Take responsibility for your own actions - finding love for yourself first. Be happy and grateful for the experiences that have led to this moment. Embrace being taken and find ways to help others through their life experiences. As selfish as it sounds, to help you with your problems. Absorb and educate you about the adoption issues flying around your mind and soul to help stop the past and move forward. Nobody is alone in this process. All have felt and trafficking in similar situations.
Making the conscious choice to be free and build his own foundation, with or without the help of "knowing". It is entirely up to you, your choice.
As disconnected as we may feel, we are one. We are survivors who promote change. Help Yourself, helping others. Being a leader in his life, not a follower.
"A good leader inspires people to have confidence in their leader. A great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves." ~ Anonymous

My Motivation - An Ode To Teaching

by Rick Osbourne

I never feel so strong and confident as when I'm helping kids to find their own strength and confidence. That's my motivation with Operation Pull Your Own Weight.
In a very real sense it's selfish. I'm doing it because I feel so good about myself when I'm doing it. The vibes of appreciation I receive when those kids get stronger and stronger, week after week, and more and more confident in their own natural abilities to set a goal and achieve it in small but relentlessly persistent increments of progress is unique in my life. Under these circumstances, I suddenly feel like Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Indiana Jones, Wyatt Earp, Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, and Elvis all combined in the eyes of these kids. I am unique in their lives.
If I Got This Kind of Lift From...

If I got the same kind of lift from climbing some corporate ladder, from running for public office, or from anything else, I'd be climbing a corporate ladder, running for public office, or doing something else that gives me the same amount of return on my investment of time and effort. But to date, nothing else compares.
There's no thrill of victory like the one I experience when seeing a young boy or girl learning to say "Oh yes I can," in the face of a real challenge, tackling it with unreserved enthusiasm, giving it 110%, having learned, and knowing in their heart of hearts that if they relentlessly persist, they will inevitably cross that finish line.
In the words of the late Winston Churchill, "Never, never, never, never, never, give up!" Not quitting is one very important form of winning. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that counts.
The Moment The Catch Their First Glimpse...

And the moment a child catches their first glimpse of the potential sitting out there on their own horizon, as long as they get a little stronger every week, every month, every year, is the moment they start approaching life in a different way, with a different attitude, with an excitement and an enthusiasm that was never there before. Let's just say, "For most everything else there's Master Charge."
And by the way, when I say kids, I'm talking about kids from 3 to 93. The fact of the matter is, when you help someone become stronger and more confident, no matter how old they are, you will have created a relationship that's unique. There aren't that many people in anyone's life who produce that kind of experience. And if you're one of them you will stand out from the crowd. You will hold a unique position in the life of that person, whether they're an elementary school student, or a rock and roll star.
The Clock Keep on Ticking

So in answer to all those folks who have wondered why the OPYOW clock keeps on ticking inside me, it's because doing it makes me feel so good about me. To repeat my original statement, I never feel so strong and confident as when I'm helping kids to find their own strength and confidence. So there, I've said it out loud. If that were not the case, I'd be unable to persist. The flame would flicker and die. But it has not and now you know why. It's all about me and how it makes me feel about myself.

Controlling Your Mind Power - No Need To Worry About Failure

by Harold L Lowe

There is no failure gene in your DNA, so there is no need to worry about it. Just imagine, your mind is a goal-seeking, goal-achieving part of you, and it carries out those operations in a machine-like manner. You can never fail in your efforts to master the power of your mind, but you must persist.
Here is why. The portion of your mind that we are referring to here has as its sole responsibility seeking out and achieving the goals you direct it to seek out and achieve. That is all it does, day and night. It never rejects or counters any of your directions.
Please do not confuse the goal-seeking, goal-achieving area of your mind with the self image. This goal-seeking, goal-achieving area never argues whether your directions are for your good or not. It never moralizes your directives to it. It simply accepts your directions, achieves what you direct, and brings it into your physical world.
"If this is true," I hear you ask, "why am I getting so many unwanted things in my experience? Surely I did not direct my mind to bring this stuff to me." I would have to agree with you to a point. You probably did not consciously direct your goal-seeking, goal-achieving mind to bring a shortage of money, illness or other misfortunes into your life.
However, when was the last time you consciously gave ANY directive to your goal-seeking, goal-achieving mind? Do you ever remember doing it? When was the last time you paid conscious attention to what you are consistently thinking all day and all night? Have you ever done such analysis?
If you are like I was and like most people are, you probably have never paid much attention to what you are thinking on a daily basis over an extended period of time. Your mind is likely running on automatic pilot, with the exception of the few times you are shaken into awareness to deal with some urgent matter.

What is your goal-seeking, goal-achieving mind doing when you leave your mind to run on automatic pilot? Well in the absence of your consciously giving it goals (directions), it simply analyzes its subconscious surroundings for the most emotionally charged goals it has achieved for you before (whether wanted or unwanted).
Whether you previously gave conscious directives to it to materialize those goals is of no importance to it. It selects them, based on your state of being and delivers the associated conditions to you.
There may be hundreds or even thousands of those pre-set conditions in your subconscious mind awaiting a signal to join forces with the goal-seeking, goal-achieving portion of your mind to produce the experiences with which they are associated.
The point of all of this is that you are now in possession of the only fool-proof, fail-safe, and perfect success system in existence, your goal-seeking, goal-achieving mind! Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to clearly communicate to it what you desire to experience.
This I know for sure. You are the most miraculous of all living beings on earth. You are the owner of a mind that is so stupendous, that as you truly begin controlling your mind power and consciously using it, there is no dream that you can dream that you cannot achieve.

Harold L Lowe retired at age 62 when his six-figure income position was eliminated. He now wishes to share some of what he has learned since then and some of his experiences as well through articles. He is now studying The New Think And Grow Rich with the author, Ted Ciuba, a founding member of the World Internet Summit.

The Butterfly Effect - You Can Make A Difference

by Laura Interval

I received an email this morning from a dear friend about the horrors going on in Burma. The deadly Cyclone has already killed up to 100,000 Burmese, and has left tens of thousands more in imminent danger of death from hunger and disease. Although the world has responded with emergency supplies and aid, the Burmese military regime is blocking all efforts to get relief to the people. Burmese Buddhist monks, prominent and student leaders, and others, have issued a public appeal for the UN to stop waiting for permission from the Burmese military regime. This email was a plea to click on a link that sends a letter of appeal to the Chinese UN Ambassador to use their power to apply pressure to persuade the Burmese government to allow the UN to move in and immediately dispatch relief.
As I read more about the disaster, both natural and political, I found myself feeling overwhelmed, flat out helpless . . .not knowing where to begin. I began to feel a separation of my world and theirs; a sort of disconnect from the reality of the people of Burma. I began to feel small and helpless and fragile. How can I possibly help and how to begin...? I clicked on the petition... to try to feel like I'd done something effective with my mouse and moved on. But, I was left feeling like it wasn't enough this time.
So, how then? How do we begin to help the world in crisis? How do we start to address the huge problems, the massive disasters that show themselves in the media everyday? How do we start to become helpful and effective without bringing the burdens and anger into our own daily lives?
And then, I remembered one of my favorite quotes:

"Let him that would move the world, first move himself."

- Socrates
So simple and so right. Just move... begin. DO what you have been intending to do in your life. Everything. This might sound trivial, but just the exercise of YOU moving... will begin a snowball, a world wide butterfly effect.
The term Butterfly Effect derives from science. The idea is that tiny changes within a complex system lead to big results that are impossible to predict. So, in layman terms, the flap of a butterfly's wings could create tiny changes in the atmosphere that lead to high winds somewhere else on the planet. A tiny movement here... creates a landslide over there. And so it is with your actions; a small accomplishment here... could cause a huge positive movement over there.
A butterfly in the Amazon flaps his wings because he has to... unaware of his effect. We have the ability to flap our wings with purpose. So begin now... today. Put intention and focus behind your actions. Commitment to what you're doing, to what you do is the key. If you're building a house, really build the house. If you are teaching children, really teach and know why you are doing it, know what you are creating. Put all of your energy into everything that you do. Even if you're just washing the dishes, really wash the dishes with a sense of purpose, a sense of the big picture. If you commit yourself to your every action, you will connect with your sense of purpose. And that sense of purpose will become your wings. It begins inside you. Your intention, your purpose to do good in your life will have a greater effect somewhere else. So everything you do... no matter how small or insignificant it may seem... will have an effect.
Take a look at your intentions. Are you doing everything that you can? Do you have a list of "to dos" that are slipping by you undone? Have you been meaning to donate your time to a cause but just haven't done it? Consider your reasons for procrastinating and begin to understand why.
Just begin to move yourself. Now. And know that your sense of purpose, your wings, can make a huge difference in this world.

Life Is What You Want It To Be

by Azmi Jahan

One of the things I learned throughout my college years is that you can decide who you want to be and no one can stop you. If you know how to apply the law of attraction to your life then life will go just as you want it.
In this materialistic world you can have anything your heart desires. If you just focus on what you want and throw away what you don't want then your thoughts will manifest to reality.
Don't think about what you don't want. A lot of people doubt the law because the stuff they don't want comes back to them and it's only because they think about that. When I look back at my childhood, the DVD player, the bike, the basketball, it all came to me only because I imagined that I had it. The law of attraction is amazing and with it we can literally change our lives and open up a good path for a promising future.

My plan is to become a medical doctor and I'm focusing on it constantly and I also plan to be financially secure so I'm thinking about money constantly. I want to be a great doctor as in being knowledgeable and I so I concentrate on that. I don't say "I hope" to get what I want; I say to myself "I know" to get what I want. So, it's easy and the key to it is focusing on it. I want to get into a med school so I look up the med school I want, and I focus on it constantly because I know that I will eventually get admitted to there.

Azmi J. is a prospective medical student. He is the owner of http://www.garamblog.com where he offers detailed advice of self improvement.
