Keeping the Flame Alive

The way to keep the flame of your burning desire alive is through persistence. Cultivating a persistence state of mind is possible for anybody. The book Think and Grow Rich outlines four simple steps that lead to the habit of persistence. Time and effort are the only things needed to conquer these steps. They are a definite purpose backed by a burning desire for its fulfillment, a definite plan, expressed in continuous action, a mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends, and acquaintances, lastly a friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage you to follow through with both plan and purpose.

Having a definite purpose backed by a burning desire for its fulfillment is the first step towards cultivating a persistence state of mind within yourself, this means that you know what you what and have an intense desire to acquire what you want. Knowing what you want is essential to having persistence because it is what you started for in the first place. Some things take longer to get than others, so that is when you must keep your mind on what you want to persevere.

Having a definite plan, expressed in continuous action is the second step towards cultivating your persistence state of mind. Planning your work and working your plan allows for you to measure your progress as well as enable you to be able to adjust your plans if something is not working. The goal stays the same but plans may change. Keeping organized plans and updating your plans when needed will keep you going when things get tough.

Keeping your mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends, and acquaintances will cultivate your persistence state of mind. The people that are closest to you are sometimes the ones that try to keep you from going for the things that you want. Most of them are doing this in an attempt to protect you. Protect you from what you ask. They have fears and other hang-ups within themselves that make them believe that what you want to go for is not capable of being had. So, they want to protect you from disappointment if you do not achieve or receive what you want. If you have completed the first two steps, you can let them know that it is just a matter of time until you have what you want.

The final step is having a friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage you to follow through with both plan and purpose. The bible says where two or more gather in agreement the power of God will be there also. If working with someone to gain access to the power of God doesn’t cultivate a persistence state of mind for you, you may need to check your pulse. Having that extra person or persons there with you will also add to your willpower to push through tough times because you have some cheerleaders and helpmates.

Once you master the four steps, you will be able to keep any flame you light alive. You will have cultivated a persistence state of mind. You will have paid the time and effort dues that are required payments for its obtainment. Start now with a definite purpose backed by a burning desire for its fulfillment, a definite plan, expressed in continuous action, a mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends, and acquaintances, lastly a friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage you to follow through with both plan and purpose.

Desire is the Fire

Desire is always the starting point of all achievement. If we have a strong enough desire; we will begin to taking actions that will manifest our desires. Our desires should spark a curiosity that will have us researching, should make us analyze ourselves and put together a plan, and should make us execute the plan.

Sometimes, we have desires that we will not know how to get. Our desires should spark curiosity. Curiosity will force us to want to find out how to get what we desire. If we are curious enough we will research the things we desire. Today’s technology has made it easier for us to do the research step than ever before. We have tools like google. A google search will give us articles, videos, and pictures of whatever we want to know. We can find someone who has what we want to have or done what we want to do. We can also see what they did to get it or do it. We can now analyze the paths that our research suggests. From that information, we can determine the path that we want to take.

Once we have done our research, we should start planning out our steps to manifest our desires. To help with planning we have to analyze ourselves and what resources we have available to us. We can do a SWOT analysis of ourselves and our desires. We have to ask ourselves a few questions. What are our strengths that will help us get our desires? What are our weaknesses that need improving or get assistance from someone that has a strength in this area that will help us get our desires? What opportunities can we take advantage of that will help us get our desires? What are the threats that could prevent us from getting our desires? Knowing the answers to these questions will help us formulate a plan for success.

Following our research and planning, it is time to execute our plans and watch our desires manifest. We have to start planting the seeds from the research and analysis performed earlier. We have to take care of those seeds. Making sure that we do everything that is needed, so our seeds can become plants. When we have plants; we must give them regular attention. The plants we give the most attention to will continue to grow and begin to bear fruit. We can now enjoy the fruit of our desires. The best thing about the fruit of our desires is that they have new seeds inside of them. Be grateful for the process that it took to experience our desires.We can do this process over and over again.

Everything starts in the mind with an initial desire. The difference between a wish and desire is the action put behind the thought. Our desires will spark a curiosity that will have us researching, will make us analyze ourselves and putting together a plan, and will make us execute the plan.

Working With Others

TEAM

“Alone we can do little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

There are times that working with others will be necessary. To be successful we have to be able to interact with others and work on a common purpose. When working with others remembering the acronym TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) will allow us to put forth our best effort while working with others. People that work with others the best all share these characteristics: They are dependable and always deliver their share of the work. They are good communicators, they listen, effectively comprehend others and articulate their ideas well. They are cooperative, flexible and teachable. They are respectful, friendly and encouraging. If we all embody and display these characteristics we will be able to accomplish anything. Jim Rohn used to say, “If two or three agree on a common purpose nothing is impossible”.

Goal Setting is Necessary for Success

“A goal without a plan is just a dream”

If you have a desired outcome it would be beneficial to have a plan to help you reach that goal. That plan allows you to evaluate your progress, it lets you know how much further you have to go and also shows you what is and is not working. This is important because knowing what is not working gives you the chance to make corrections that will work. Once you have executed every part of your plan the outcome you have desired manifests itself in reality. Working your plan can be hard. Stay consistent in working your plan and never give up on accomplishing the desired outcome that got you started in the first place will have you enjoying the fruits of your labor.

 

 

Don’t Stop Running Toward Your Dreams

Let_Me_Run - 2

Life is a marathon. Getting our dreams will call for us to have endurance. We must never stop running to get what we really dream and desire. We must keep that dream alive by continuing to run in the direction of that dream. Pain will be involved and the body will want to stop but we must use our minds to make the body keep running when there is nothing left. The only thing that remains is the dreams that we have, faith that we will liver our dreams and the momentum that we have gained by running in the right direction. It will almost be like we are running down hill. We can put the mind in control of the body like putting the body on autopilot. Our minds will get us to our dreams without us really having to do anything. The desire in our minds will start attracting the help and support needed for us to live out our dreams. The person we are in our dream can be us in reality as long as we do not stop running toward our dreams. I will let you run toward your dreams. Let me run toward my dreams. We may reach our dreams at different times and that is okay. We will still see each other at the finish line no matter who gets there first.

See you at the top.

Reinvent Yourself

All of us are stars. Some of us are unaware of that. If we reinvent ourselves into the stars who we truly are then we can inspire others to be the stars who they truly are. Do not be afraid of being seen doing something good that other people will not do at all. When others see us perform acts of kindness it triggers something that ignites an urge within them that makes them want to perform an act of kindness of their own. Let’s shine bright today so that we can show others how to shine as well.

Be Proactive Instead of Reactive

Proactive

There are some things in life that we know we have to do. We could do these things as soon as we learn what it is we are supposed to do and get it over. Sometimes we put off the things we are supposed to do until life makes us do it. When we wait to do the things we are supposed to do, those things become our master. We are supposed to be the master over the things we know we have to get done. Pressure starts to build, stress and anxiety show up when we wait to do these things that have to be done regardless. Why do we continuously put ourselves through these unnecessary pains? Let’s choose today to act now and not delay the process of things that have to be done. Let’s do it now to avoid the stress and every other negatives that come from waiting.

The Power of Thought (Using our Mind’s Eye)

418710_4356594558057_1605032398_n

We must use the power of thought to our advantage. To do so we must think positive thoughts and let go of all negativity. When we think about our desires we must imagine ourselves in possession of the things we desire. We must close our two eyes and open our mind’s eye and see the the changed life we will have by possessing our desires right now. Using the mind’s eye is more than just seeing, it is also feeling we possess our desires right now. Seeing and feeling using our mind’s eye is what prepares us to receive our desires because it is already ours. Too many of us are using our thoughts in ways that do not serve us and that is if we are thinking at all.There are many who let outside influences direct their thoughts. These are people who think they will never have anything better than what they currently have. That is a blatant lie. All of us can and will be in better situations if we make the choice to think, see, feel and believe that we will. I encourage you to start using the power of thought for your advantage today. If you choose to do so I will see you where your desires take you in the near future.
