Being Strong and Courageous!

Being Strong and Courageous begins first with our mindset!

“Be strong and Courageous.  Do not be terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”–Joshua 1:9

Admit to the fact that you either have the mindset of a conqueror, or the mindset of a weakling or failure.  The fear of failure is based upon the fear of death, but to overcome failure we must remove the negativity and the failure mindset from our beings and replace our thoughts and beliefs with positive thoughts that are motivated or geared to faith, belief and success.

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”–Muhammad Ali

This can be done by renewing our mind with the Word of God daily, as we are limited only by our perspective, intelligence, time, space and our humanity.  Meeting God daily on a one on one basis removes our earthly limitations.  ”Be strong and of a good courage!”

“Because of a great love, one is courageous.”–Lao Tzu

Learn to banish fear from your life.  Understand that you do have the capability to take the necessary steps for personal fulfillment by helping others, attaining new friends, growing new personable contacts and better ideas which will lead to the fulfilling of your inner dreams.

By reducing and eventually removing the fear and worry from your life, you will begin to see new options, new ways of doing things, and receive new ways of relating to life that were invisible to you before.

“Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous, there’s really nothing to lose. There’s no wrong you can’t make right again, so be kinder to yourself, you know, have fun, take chances. There’s no bounds.”–Jewel

Being Strong and Courageous allows you to abandon worry and fear from your life and thereby gain the confidence to pursue a new career or dream, gives you the emotional freedom to ask others for help, the ability to handle criticism as well as rejection with ease.  It gives you the confidence to allow yourself to take a risk, speak to a group, ask for a necessary raise, do more for your favorite charity and the courage to invest in a business.

“Work hard for what you want because it won’t come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you ,just keep on believing in yourself and turn it in to something positive.”–Leah LaBelle

“Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.”–Hyman Rickover

Fear paralyzes and stops you in your tracks.  It has the ability to overwhelm you and immobilize you.  Being Strong and Courageous is God’s pattern of success by purifying us of past failures, giving us fresh revelation from His Word, and thereby leading us into “paths of righteousness” which will end in Success.

Assertive Behavior!

Assertive Behavior means that you express yourself aggressively and stand up for your own personal rights and point of view.  Being confident.

Assertive behavior is a life skill which can be both useful in your inner being, as well as, outward appearance.  It doesn’t happen overnight, but through continued practice and possibly years of fine tuning.

And while you may not always get what you want, when you want,  you will always know that you gave it your best effort.

“Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside of ourselves will affect us.”–Stephen R Covey

Some tips for improving your Assertive Behavior:

1. You Must Believe in Yourself.

Practice always thinking  positively and feeding  yourself with positive inner dialogue. Daily stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eye, and tell yourself how wonderful you are!

2. Realize That The Only Person You Can Change is You.

You can only change what you do; and that a change in your behavior will often afford others the opportunity to behave differently towards you.

3. Respond Instead of Reacting!

Begin to start choosing how to behave, based on admitting and accepting the consequences.  Accept the fact that you – and only you – have made the choice.  No one can force you to make a choice.

4. Never Beat Yourself up For Past Behaviors and Decisions!

Instead, turn every situation into a positive learning opportunity for future behavioral change.

5. Be Aware of Your Body Language.

Make sure your body language matches your words: people tend to believe what they see rather than what they hear.

6. Instill  the Green Cross code:

Stop, Look, and Listen – then Think,  before you respond.  This will ensure that  you will stay in control of your emotions, as well as,  the situation at hand.  This will also afford other’s the opportunity to do the same.

7. Always Aim for a  Resolution-Never Self-defense.

Concentrate on the “situation at hand” rather than your own feelings, recognizing  that the other person is more probably angry about the “situation” -not  necessarily  you.

8. Always Choose Your Words Wisely.

Lose the words which signal  you’re a  pushover.  Such as: “I’m terribly sorry”, or “I’m afraid”, or “Could you possibly…?” or “Can I just …?”.

Substitute big “I” statements followed by factual descriptions,  instead of,  judgments or exaggerations. This will encourage the other person to do the same.

9. Just say “NO.”

Learn to  afford yourself all of the rights you allow everyone else to have.  You are not refusing them personally, you are refusing their request.

10. Possess a “Can Do” attitude.

Believe that things don’t just happen to you – but that you have the ability to make them happen.

Assertive Behavior is a positive form of aggressiveness. When we are assertive in our behavior, we have the strength to resist negative or hurtful influences. We have the ability to think for ourselves, ask for what we need, and speak up to protect ourselves, as well as, others.

What Is Your Mission Statement?

When determining your Mission Statement make sure that it translates your “Vision” into Words.  

Your Mission Statement should explain why you are here and what you propose to do with your life.  It should be brief and kept simple and expressed in the present tense.  Describe your Vision as if you’ve already achieved it.

A Personal Mission Statement will help you to organize your entire life — your time, your thoughts, your priorities. Actually, a personal mission statement, conscientiously developed, will change the way you view everything in your life.

Your personal mission statement will force you to constantly re-evaluate who you are, what you’re about, and what you’re doing.

Example:  The Constitution of the United States.

The essential mission statement there is “…to create a more perfect union.”

Where would we be as a nation today if they had not outlined the goals and hopes of a new nation in those terms?

The basics of a mission statement are as follows:

1. Keep it brief and to the point.

Nelson Mandela’s mission statement, developed over his 27 years in prison in South Africa, says just this:

“End Apartheid.”

Another great mission statement was developed by Abraham Lincoln upon his inauguration as President.

“Preserve the Union.”

Note that mission statements can change. Perhaps a mission is accomplished.

Franklin Roosevelt started his presidency with a mission to:

“End the Depression.”

By the time that was almost done another threat had arisen and the United States had become involved in World War II. Now the mission statement was:

“End the War.”

2. KISS.  Keep your mission statement  simple.

Make sure that even a 12-year-old would be able to understand the statement.

3. Make it memorable so it can be seared into your consciousness.

The rule of thumb here is that if you can’t recite it from memory, it’s too long and too complicated.

4.  Go public with it.

Your vision gains power when you go public with it.  When you put your commitment on record, you’re giving yourself an extra incentive to succeed.

If your Mission Statement calls you to be a “CEO”, then you should state it like you’ve already arrived.  ”I am the President of a Digital Software Company and my office is located in San Diego, CA overlooking the Ocean.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that your job IS your mission. It’s only part of it…or not.

Either way, remember that a mission is larger than a job. Your job may change, but your mission may not. In fact, there are times that a job MUST change in order that a mission be completed. So don’t lock yourself in a box that says that you ARE your work. You’re far more than that.

Finally, clear out the negative  influences that have driven you in the past.

A mission statement isn't about what you think you should be doing. It’s about what “EXCITES” you. So instead of listening to all those voices from the past…the ones that told you you weren't worth anything, that you’d never succeed, and so forth. Concentrate on your gifts and follow after  your dreams.

Make yourself a copy of your Mission Statement and display it in a prominent place where it will be a constant reminder for you, your family and your associates as to the commitment you have made.  By doing this your subconscious mind will adopt to the vision you’ve created and will constantly direct your behavior toward the achievement of it.

How Is Your Brain Programmed?

Have you ever wondered how your brain is programmed?

Well from birth our brain has been collecting material, some good, some bad, some mediocre, some sedentary, some useful, some not so useful and the beat goes on.

Your attitudes,beliefs, choices, actions, dreams, including your ultimate success happens to be tied directly to certain programs located in certain portions of your brain.

“The line between “open-mindedness” and “tight-mindedness” is sharp and clean cut–and the only people who have ever contributed anything to human progress have been the “open-minded” who have been able to see there is a better way.”
–Albert E. Wiggam

Quote:

I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half of the things you do you might just as well turn over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly. I am easily managed–you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great men; and alas, of all failures as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures. I have made failure. I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a man. You may run me for profit or run me for ruin–it makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with e and I will destroy you.

Who am I? I am habit!           -—-Unknown

Everyone you know, including yourself, end up thinking, believing, making choices, seeing, walking and looking as you do, are all due to the programs carried around in your brain.

Think about it; How Is your brain programmed? Is it programmed for success or failure. Realize that everything you think and do is a living, breathing picture of every program inside you.

Truth is: Everything you think or do to reach your goals will be affected, influenced, or somehow controlled by the programs that you are carrying around with you at the present time. Whatever you entertain to do today, tomorrow, or any day from hence on to reach your goals will be determined by those same programs.

It’s time to get past any old negative program and replace them with new programs geared to bring about a better life, more opportunity, encouragement, development, success consciousness, as well as, a positive mental attitude towards successful living.

Just as ‘Iron sharpens Iron’, become the Leader who is able to bring “Increase” and “Value” into the lives of others.

So the next time someone asks you “How is your brain programmed?”  Without hesitation you can say, To love my God first, to change lives, the betterment of my family, my success and the ability to help bring about the success of others. I live my Dreams and bring them into Existence. (Or whatever it is that you want your brain programmed for.)

Facts About Issues Making Your Vision Glow

Some Facts About Issues Making Your Vision Glow:  Eyesight and Mindset!

If you are really curious about making your vision glow, consider the incidence of a very rare eye problem that involves anomalous development in the retinal blood vessels. Your retina lines the interior of your eye. As different chemicals that make up blood start to leak in the retina, fluid builds up beneath it. The end result is often a loss of sight, particularly in the central region, and a gradual separation of the retina from other parts of the eye.

Indeed, a childhood cancer that grows from immature cells lurking in the retinas of both eyes can appear between birth and five years of age.

The physicians will give you a screening for retinoblastoma, Coats’ disease, and a bunch of other possible problems.

If you are really curious about seeing that glow, head to the doctor’s office. Professionals use a simple test to rule out many of the problems above. With a simple red-reflex test, a pediatrician can ascertain with really anomalous results. If you look carefully at the picture, you see that the glow comes from a lot of places.

Another possibility is to ask for a red reflex treatment. If you have seen a glow or at least believe that you have, you need an instantaneous way to measure and objectify the result. The most associations that anyone should make the assignment is something you can do as frequently as possible.

Other aspects complicating your Vision’s Glow:

“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” –Helen Keller

“Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!” –Bob Marley

Making your vision glow is an important part of this process. If you feel optimism, then your vision will light up naturally. Making your vision glow without it feeling forced is an important part of accomplishing your dreams and visions. If you are intimidated by the thought of having to make your own commissions or even change your lifestyle, then making your vision glow is definitely possible with an attitude adjustment, a positive mindset and the “Can Do Spirit.”

Happiness: Mind over Matter

Happiness is the state of being happy, therefore, it is mind over matter because you have to make a “decision” to be happy no matter what your circumstance.

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” –Dalai Lama

“Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.” –Abraham Lincoln

Even though you could be infinitely happy by just enjoying nature, family and all the human-made things, there are still millions of people who are unhappy. When you look at the developed countries  there tends to be the very fortunate circumstance of having both God-given and man-made things.  Even so, the majority of the people are still unhappy.

Yet again, in the under developed countries, where for millions, there is a real scarcity of even basic needs, yet the people seem to be happy. There are even some people who are engaged in difficult tasks, warfare, or even incarcerated in prisons, and yet they are still happy!

“Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.” –Thomas Jefferson

Happiness is not realized by the mere availability and abundance of God given and human-made things. There is something else which should be right to be happy. Of course, it is our mind that must have right attitude  and capacity to be happy.

Milton in Paradise Lost says,

‘The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.’

Various examples of us how the mind over matter can and will influence our body:

• Pavlov’s dog starts salivating at the sound of the bell without any food in sight.
• If we are tense we often get headache, backache, and spondylitis, etc.
• Heart attacks are directly linked to worry and tension.
• The Right mental attitude helps in curing many bodily maladies.
• Self-talk, motivation, and positive attitude we can become happy and successful.
• Hypnosis one can have command over another person’s mind and body.
• Meditation can help with having a healthy body and extra sensory abilities.

“Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.” –Dale Carnegie

The Mind has extra-ordinary powers and as far as happiness is concerned,  it has the ultimate power. We should, therefore, have a positive attitude towards life. Instead of concentrating on the bad things in life and people, we should always concentrate on the redeeming features in them.

It is important not to keep on thinking about past failures and bad experiences,  but be encouraged by your past success and good experiences. Similarly, we should not be unduly anxious about the future as our anxiety is not going to have a positive effect, but we should plan and work hard for the future.
