Excerpt from Breaking Through Limitations

   There is a minute difference between people who are winning in a big way versus those who are not. The difference is WHY they do what they do. When you have a strong enough WHY, then you begin...

Connecting with your Power

There is no magic to the discovery of your power of achievement. You unlock your gifts of talent, skill and knowledge by simply taking control of two principles accessible to you; the power to think and the power to act.

When you consistently think and act on your potential, you not only engage your potential, you also disengage your limits and the reasons why you can't. You begin focusing on reasons why you can. It all begins with the risk of believing more in yourself than in your limits.

List some of the challenges you believe are threatening. Do you believe these challenges have more power than you have? The task in working with your power is to determine how much failure you can handle to get you from where you are to where you eventually want to be.

When you act on the mental pictures in your mind, you feel very threatened since you may only believe in what you can see and touch. You must begin to understand that you base what you see on that which already exists in the objective world and on what you visualize that exists in the spiritual world. The former has form and the latter does not but is just as real.

If you want to turn desire into reality, you must first begin by building your desire into a visual picture, by thinking and selecting powerful thoughts supported by a persistent course of action. This process of thought and action becomes a strategy where…

"You only have to do something until you want to do it, then you won't have to do it any more." -Leland Val VanDeWall

Your powers to think and act are two resources that can instantly begin to move you beyond limiting beliefs; the old conditioned anchors which hold residence in your mind, like an old, sick dog you love so much that even in illness, you want to hold on to him.

Limiting and non-limiting beliefs are incompatible. A limiting belief, such as rejection, cannot live with the power of action. Where action becomes the dominant idea of the day, rejection will make haste in leaving your mind.

Creativity begins when you begin to look for the needle in the haystack, when you begin to believe it is there.

Doing something repeatedly, for thirty days, will guarantee the forming of a new way of thinking, feeling and acting in life. It will remove any belief contrary to this new way of living. The focus of this new idea must be placed on the word specific.
Very often people hurry off with an idea that they are going to be successful, having no specific picture of what success really means. History teaches us that successful people were specific about what they wanted to achieve.

Being specific with what you want to do will give your mind a directive that will make it work more effectively. Being specific with your thoughts and actions increases the possibility for you to be more pro-active. This gives you more power to choose your response to circumstance. This power to choose leads you to act on principle rather than according to your mood. In other words, you are not your habits, your beliefs or your attitudes. You learn these things therefore you can unlearn them when you take control of your mind and power by focusing on specific thoughts and actions which form specific habits. 

It is a simple dynamic law of life that you must either progress or regress. You cannot stand still even if you want to. Growth is optional, but change is not. The question is not "do you change", but rather "how do you want to change?" Do you want to move forward or backward; up or down the mountain? The method is to develop a focus which will provide the excitement, inspiration and motivation so that you can look up as you scale the mountain.

The purpose of life is to live. To become everything that you are capable of becoming. 

How are you using your life?
· Do dreams come alive for you?
· How enriching is your time?
· Are you in control or is time?

To live with a specific goal and organized knowledge gives you power. Today, people and companies have a wealth of information regarding everything from A to Z. The problem is that they may not have a specific organized method of putting their knowledge to work in order to accomplish specific results. Two very basic laws of life are Order and Motion. When you examine these laws in everyday life, they translate into organized, specific knowledge with an organized and intelligent plan of action.

The major limiting beliefs behind the failure of great companies and most successful people is a refusal to entertain a new idea. You can do three things with a new idea; you can reject it, you can neglect it or you can accept it. Successful people have the vision to entertain this idea. They do not allow obstacles or distractions to stop them from finding something valuable that will improve the possibility of future growth. New knowledge is quickly becoming the new capital.

Developing and organizing new knowledge for your product, service, company or yourself is never an easy task. In the long run however, it is worth the time and effort.

In the beginning, it is never easy to create, develop and take action on a new and specific way of thinking about your life, your business, your services and your products.

Emerson said; 'We must persist in the task and one day it will become easier, not because the task itself has become easier, but because we have learned to master the task.'

This state is known as Self Mastery. You will learn to integrate your choices and actions to develop a guiding principle. You can start the process today. Today, you can…Decide, Believe, Begin.
