It's all in your hands...

Days start as if a clean slates stares at you to make a fresh starts. Some see it clean some see it as messy as they left it the previous day. We make mistakes of hanging on to the past.

Making mistakes is a part of life, and is also a part of growth. Let there be no mistake in getting this truth into your mind. Looking back at my own life when growing up, I have made many mistakes over and over again. They say there is a lesson to learn in each mistake, and there is no need to make the same mistake twice. For a long time some of my mistakes just kept repeating themselves. It seemed a common and recurring theme, and I had no idea how to get a handle on it. It took me many years to finally get out of this jungle of repeating mistakes and to find the answers. When you finally get them, the answers seem to be ridiculously easy to follow.

You can tear up the old script and start a new one if you need to. You have permission to look at your life from the perspective of new and better possibilities and unlimited thinking.

But let me give you the bad news/good news up front. Bad news - it takes some time and effort to sit down and contemplate, to reflect and day dream about the life you want. To plan and set goals takes an intentional decision. Now, the good news - budgeting the time and energy to plan and set goals will create insights, excitement and ultimately great results that will have a positive impact on your life in a permanent way.

Mistake 1: You ask any one, and this is the response.. I Don't Have Enough Time For It ...

Being on this planet as human beings, we all live have to live by the same rules and almost similar physical resources the almighty has given us; however, the same set of rules seems to appear differently to each of us.

Most often we have told someone (or yourself) that you don't have time for something?

We all only have 24 hours in a day-and it is only you alone who decides how to spend these hours. It seems to be more convenient to say "I don't have the time," rather than saying "I don't want to spend my time on it."

Can you feel the difference?

In the first place you have not taken ownership of your time. You put yourself in the role of being a slave to time itself, and, if you are honest with yourself, it does not feel at all empowering.

In the second phrase we take full responsibility for our time. Know that this may upset some people when you say it. You tell them that whatever they want from you is not necessarily as important for you as for them. In reality, you are just being honest and this will, in the end, make you feel humble.

The interesting thing is that when you start doing this, you will attract more honest people in your life. You will get more comfortable over time with expressing this kind of yourself in this way to others and people will start appreciating your honesty. You will soon see the rewards.

Whatever you set as a goal for yourself will come true if only you make the time available to manifest them.

Set your mental blueprint. This is the beginning of all your journey of making things coming true. Most people fail with business intentions in particular and life intentions in general because they never create the blueprint in the first place that makes them happen. They are too busy with putting their valuable attention on daily clusters. Ensure you are not one of them.

Mistake 2: You change things because You Don't Like How It Is.. therefore you change it

You cannot simply change what you don't like! Too much of your attention is focused on the problem rather than on the solution.

Start with accepting your current situation. Take full ownership of it. Understand that it is somehow a result of your thoughts and actions, even if you don't comprehend why. Let go of any sadness or anger you hold towards yourself and others. Forgive yourself and others. We all make mistakes, and mistakes are not necessarily the bad things as you have come to believe. Making mistakes (and understanding them) is how each of us learn to move on through life. Simply understand that your past and current actions did not lead to the results that you have expected. That's it--don't take it too seriously.

Mistake 3: When You Are Discouraged, You Give Up... and you do it very often


You had the best intentions. You put in all your efforts and you certainly believed in your goals and dreams. However, nothing really ever changed--you are frustrated and discouraged. You start to believe that it is not meant to be... "Maybe God does not want me to experience achieving my goals." You start finding all kinds of excuses why your dreams did not manifest. Finally you give up--you admit to yourself that you obviously don't have the power to pull this off. This is the place where dreams vaporize, where evaporating goals become a part of history that nobody will ever see. Besides having no dreams and goals at all, this is the second most prevalent reason why people never fulfill their dreams.

Discouragement is not failure, it simply means that your expectations have gotten ahead of you. Pay attention to the coincidences in your life, as they will show you the way. They may seem insignificant, but they are real. Acknowledge them, be grateful to what you have and then act on whatever opportunities come up. There are no unrealistic dreams, there are only unrealistic time frames.
