Victor Hugo:

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

This little girl has a dream, now she has her future..

12-year-old little Li Yue from the Sichuan Earthquake zone, a very beautiful and talented girl, lost her left leg; survived over 70 hours under the rubble yet always dreaming of being a ballerina.

This little girl never gave up her dream despite her devastating tragedy; four months later on 7th Sept sat proudly in the Paralympics stadium, with her one red ballet shoe,  her body twirling to the rhythmic music amongst countless dancers and in front of 90000 spectators and the global tv audience.

Li Yue has her dream, she has her future. This courageous little girl is a real shining example to us all.
Never ever give up on your dream.

Whether in just daily life or in business  - actions bring results……
Here is an excerpt from Anthony Robbins that says it all.

“What Should I Do to Change My Life?”

Is there something in your life that you’ve been wanting to change, but haven’t been able to?

If you are asking the question “what should I do to change my life” then you made the all important first step which is to search for an answer. By asking “what should I do to change my life” you automatically imply that there is something in your life that you are not happy with, something that you are dissatisfied with. This is the all important start to creating  change by realizing that where you are in life is not where you ultimately want to be and you can only get to where you want to be by knowing where you are.

There are only two real changes we all want to make. We either want to change the way we feel about something or someone, or we want to change our behaviour.  All changes we want for and from our lives boils down to these two changes. An awareness of  this will help you decide what kind of change you really want from your life.

Most of the time we don’t get ourselves to make a change in our lives because we procrastinate. We think that at some level the change will be more painful than staying where we are, so we keep putting it off, waiting for some external condition to initiate the change for us.  So we end up going through years of “wanting to change” but not doing it.

We are all very keen on changing the conditions and circumstances of our lives, but we are not that keen on changing ourselves. We tend to seek outside ourselves asking what should I do to change my life, hoping that someone will deliver the magic bullet.  The truth is that all change starts with us; within ourselves. Realize that you and only you are the source and the agent of change.  All the resources you need to make any form of change are within you merely waiting for you to tap into it and use it.

You can change anything and everything in your life with the right strategy. We constantly read about people who were addicted to hard drugs for years and then managed to stop in an instant while others have to go through years of therapy?
Change does not come down to your whether you can do it (ability), but whether you will do it.  Whether you will do it is a  matter of motivation and motivation is nothing but a motive or a reason.  If your motive is strong enough then you will unconsciously do any and everything necessary to change. Therefore it is critically important to not only know exactly WHAT you want to change, but to also know WHY you must change.

So, what should I do to change my life? Step one is to get motivated. Realize that every change you’ve ever made in your life happened in a moment.  What took time was to finally get yourself to the point where you did what was necessary to make it happen. The challenge is that our cultural conditioning taught us that making significant changes takes a long time and that it is difficult to do. Change happens in an instant.  It is not a process and you can do it right now by simply making a decision.

The most powerful thing you can do to make a change in your life is to make a real decision. When you make a truly committed decision then your actions will flow from it. The consistent actions people take is what makes the difference in their lives and our decisions are the father of all our actions. Thinking about something you want to change will remain a dream and a desire until you commit to your decision and a certain course of action. According to Tony Robbins “it is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”

What should I do to change my life?  Get motivated, know what you want, why you want it and make a decision that you commit yourself to it no matter what. Then, take action that is consistent with your decision until you produce the results you are after.

Discover a new you….

As we go through life we sometimes get to the point where we feel  unfilled - like something is missing.  We may have all the trappings of life, the material goods to make us happy, YET……. we feel …what is the purpose of life..what are we doing here?

I invite you to join Oprah and Eckhart Tolle in weekly online sessions. You will be studying:

A New Earth, but not as an academic subject or in order to acquire new theories or beliefs. Our aim is to explore through the teachings of the book the most important question you can ask: What is the purpose of my life and how do I fulfill that purpose? It will be a course in self-exploration and awakening. It will help you see what the dysfunctional patterns are within yourself that create unnecessary conflict and suffering and prevent you from finding true fulfillment. Hopefully, it will also help you access a dimension within yourself that perhaps you didn’t know existed or only caught glimpses of on rare occasions. Don’t be trapped for the rest of your life within the narrow confines of your personal history and your conditioned personality and allow your life to be transformed from within, through the power of consciousness itself.

— Eckhart Tolle

I can really recommend these sessions - just either join the class or download the recorded live broadcast and listen. Perhaps this is the missing link in your life…..or maybe not. You also have the possibilty to have your question personally answered if you are a Skype user. I have personally enjoyed every minute of these sessions and found them rewarding and  enlightening.

Today I came across an article that really is a must-read for anyone who strives to do things in life, whether in personal or business life. I can honestly say that in the past  I have been guilty of letting things slide, of the ‘manyana’ syndrome that hits us all occassionally, but  once you make the first step the the rest just follows.

“The Major Cause for Procrastination”
By Anthony Robbins

Procrastination is the silent killer of human will and ambition. Procrastination is what separates a role model of success from a life of mediocrity. People who succeed, who are fulfilled and who tap into all of their abilities and internal resources are people of action.

Much has been written on the concept of  personal power. Personal power is nothing but the ability to take action. The habit of using your personal power is the habit of taking action. It is the habit of just doing it. Procrastination on the
other hand is the opposite of using your personaln power. Procrastination means that you are immobilized and stuck.

When you use your personal power and take action you literally move in a desired direction. When you procrastinate you are standing still. You are helpless and hopeless. Using your personal power will start to move you and pretty soon you will
start building momentum and become unstoppable in moving towards your goals. Using your personal power allows you to blast through any object of procrastination that might stand in your way.Using your personal power and your ability to take action is the ultimate cure for procrastination.
