Get On The Persistence Train!

In order to get aboard the Persistence Train there are steps you must have in place.

Persistence is a “state of mind” which can be cultivated through practice.  In other words, you must train yourself to be persistent.

“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.”–Napoleon Hill

“Energy and Persistence conquer all things.” –Benjamin Franklin

Steps to The Train Persistence Starts With:

1.  Definiteness of Purpose.

You must know what you want.  This is probably the most important step towards the development of persistence.  It takes a strong motive to force you to surmount the many difficulties you will encounter.

2.  Have A Desire:

By having a great desire in your heart it will be comparatively easy to acquire and maintain persistence when pursuing the object of your intense desire.

3.  Becoming Self-Reliant:

When you believe in your ability to carry out a plan or course of action, it will encourage you to follow that plan to the end with determination and persistence.  (You can inspire yourself to become self reliant through the power and practice of auto suggestion.)

What is Auto Suggestion?

It is a term used for suggestions and all self-administered stimuli which reaches into one;s mind through the five sense.  In other words, it is self suggestion.  It is the medium used for influencing the sub conscious mind.  It can be the negative or the positive thoughts we tend to choose to rule over us.  It is the agent of the mind where communication of a conscious thought actually takes place.  In other words, it is the seat of action for your subconscious mind.

4.  Having a Definiteness of Plans:

Having organized plans will encourage persistence.  This will happen even if they are weak or impractical at the onset. Through time and practice with applied knowledge you will finalize and make your plans definite, precise and clear.

5.  Obtaining Accurate Knowledge:

Having a knowing that your plans are sound, based upon experience or observation will encourage persistence.  Guessing, instead of Knowing will destroy persistence.  You need to “know” that  your plans are sound.

6.  Team Cooperation:

Having sympathy, understanding, and harmonious cooperation with others always helps to build up and develop persistence as well.

7.  Strong Will-Power:

Maintaining the habit of concentrating your thoughts upon the building up of your plans for the attainment of a definite purpose will also lead to persistence.

8.  The Power of Habit:

You will realize that persistence is the direct result of habit.  Your mind absorbs and becomes a part of the daily experiences upon which it feeds.

Fear. which is the worst of all enemies, can be cured effectively by FORCED REPETITION OF ACTS OF COURAGE.  Anyone who has participated  in active service of any kind can verify this.

“Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.” –Napoleon Hill

“As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.” –Denis Waitley

So be sure to get on the Persistence Train and make a difference in your life and the lives of others.  There are countless others whose paths have been planned for you to meet.

The holidays are here and many are needing help.  To help them, as well as yourself -

Are You A Winner?

What is a Winner?

A winner is one who wins, especially a victor in sports, or a notably successful person.

“You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.” –Zig Ziglar

“If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride – and never quit, you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.” –Paul Bryant

“Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that’s more productive.”  –Donald Trump

In essence:

Winners are Overcomers!

Winners can actually be people just like you, and just like me, if you indeed have the heart and desire!

Winners take chances.
Like everyone else, they fear failing,
but they refuse to let fear control them.

Winner’s don’t give up.
When life gets rough, the hang in
until the going gets better.

Winners are flexible.
They realize there is more than one way
and are willing to try others.

Winners know they are not perfect.
They respect their weaknesses
while making the most of their strengths.

Winners fall, but they don’t stay down.
They stubbornly refuse to let a fall
keep them from climbing….

Winners don’t blame
fate for their failures
nor luck for their successes>

Winners accept responsibility for their lives.

Winners are Positive Thinkers
who see good in all things.
From the ordinary, they make
the extraordinary.

Winners believe in the path they
have chosen
even when it’s hard,
even when others can’t see
where they are going.

Winners are patient.
They know a goal is only as worthy
as the effort that’s required to achieve it.

Winners are people like YOU!
They make this world a
better place to be.
—Unknown

Becoming A Possibility Thinker

Becoming a Possibility Thinker begins when you realize that your life moves in the direction of your most dominant thoughts.

The difficulty that many people have is becoming entrapped in the routines of everyday life. When you are younger, it is easier to conceptualize the idea of taking your life to higher levels, doing things that most people only dream about. Unfortunately, as life goes on, and your dreams are not realized, we become doubtful about what is actually possible in our lives. As a result of this, many people end up getting caught in their daily routines, never achieving what they hoped to accomplish earlier in life.

“Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities.” –Aristotle

“To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.” –Albert Einstein

You don’t have to brilliant to be successful.  There are many people with what seems to be ordinary gifts who have made extraordinary contributions to society.  It begins with learning where your strengths are, then focusing those strengths to defined objectives.

“Genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration.”  – Thomas Edison

However, there is hope for those that would like to change their mundane mindset. It is possible to once again think of all of the possibilities, and believe that you can achieve at least some of them. In this article, I will present some ways of becoming a possibility thinker, someone that can rise from the ashes of defeat and slowly become an achiever that can accomplish what they set out to do long ago.

“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” –Gloria Steinen

One of the first things that you need to do to become a possibility thinker is to “make a list” of what you want to accomplish.

The list is important, but even more so, you need to “visualize” what it is you want to manifest in your life.

“Goal setting” is part of this process, but you must actually see yourself where you want to be, feeling the emotions of actually being in a situation that will make you happy and fulfilled. In essence, you are breaking the normal routines that you currently face everyday by having this different mindset.

Once you do this, and visualize where you want to be on a regular basis, becoming a possibility thinker is within your grasp.

Although there are many other facets to this way of thinking, this is the foundation that you need to set first.

Possibility Thinking requires a focused and  well designed idea of:

a.  where you want to go.

b.  what you want to accomplish.

c.   see yourself achieving these goals.

“If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed.  If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed.  If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.” –Thomas Wolfe

By doing this on a routine basis, you will slowly break the routines of your mundane life. Becoming a possibility thinker which will lead you to greater things, which inevitably, will also manifest as a more fulfilling life.

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.

How to Remain “Calm” Through It All!

Remaining calm in the midst  of turmoil will take a time of reprogramming our minds by depositing “Positives” into our Mind which will defeat each negative that pops up!

Life happens and we have no control over some circumstances.
No matter what is happening in the world around us, it is never necessary to become caught up in a state of depression, fear or  any other negativity. We are not the victims of the world as we see it because we have the ability to mobilize ourselves and take charge of the way we respond to any given stimuli.

“If you continue to think like you’ve always thought, you will always get what  you’ve always got.”  –Ken Gaub

Depression and fear can very easily become addictive.  It has been proven that the longer we allow ourselves to stay in a  negative state of mind, the more difficult it can and will become to rid ourselves of  them .

In this state of mind, our world tends to grow smaller as we begin to develop catastrophic expectations. At this point we even lose touch with our own power to take charge, to choose actions and perceptions which will counteract the negativity.

“Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.” –Saint Francis de Sales

Staying Calm through the process of Centering:

Centering is universal.  There are many forms of exercise, such as martial arts and meditation which are ways of achieving centering and balance. These exercises are ways to tap into the fundamental strength and courage to which every individual is endowed with.   When taken on and practiced daily, an individual learns to calm down and changes will soon be seen.

In Zen they say, “Open the treasure house within.” This reminds us that we are endowed with gifts which are far greater than we currently realize or employ.

The Process of Attention:
We are what we think about..

Morita, a Japanese psychiatrist, the founder of Morita Therapy, states that all neurosis comes from frozen attention that has gotten stuck and fixed upon recurring negative thoughts. The more we give attention to that which is destructive, the more strength it has to rule our lives.
Regain your Attention by:

Realizing that the power of focus is indeed, the power of life. Spend some time each day developing focus and concentration. Withdraw yourself from the chaotic external world for a period of time each day, and pull your attention back within.

Sit down with a straight back, do not move and concentrate upon your breathing. Let random thoughts come and go. Do not suppress them, but do not let them grab your attention away. At first you may be besieged by many surprising thoughts and feelings, but if you simply notice them and then return your attention to your breathing, these will soon die down and dissipate.

Next  begin  to count your breaths from one to ten, then begin again. Do this for at least ten to fifteen minutes without moving. By being still and not moving we are stopping what is called the monkey mind, the mind, which jumps from one thing to the next, where fears and demands try to  grab hold and sabotages our lives.

In all actuality, it is the monkey mind, which causes our sorrow and fear. Realize that it is only a portion of us, it cannot take over our lives as we learn how to take our attention back. By practicing this daily, we are strengthening new parts of ourselves, which will guide and lead us in a new direction, one of meaning, balance and well-being.
In the process of time you will learn that this wonderful time spent with yourself is a very simple way to attain perspective, remain calm and  become able to see clearly as we are being  rooted in the larger truth.  You will see that this time becomes a fortification against many storms, which would naturally besiege you. We develop a place within ourselves, where we can always return, for wisdom, strength and comfort.

When we allow the external world to consume us, we are simply giving our natural treasures away.   Rather than struggling to analyze and undo our patterns, we must learn to work directly with our attention.

The questions before us always are:

a.  What am I focusing on this moment?

b.  Am I present with the breathing, or lost somewhere in a dream.

c.  Am I dwelling upon the pains and wrongs I think have others have done me.

d.  Am I dwelling on the terrible things that can happen someday?

Reality continually renews and confronts us with new tasks, challenges, opportunities and solutions, day after day. Are we in touch with this ever flowing reality? Are we asking ourselves what is available now, what gifts we are receiving and what we can give to others, or are we dwelling upon how wronged, threatened or deprived we’ve always been?

The Process of Gratitude:

The second step of Centering is Gratitude.  Depression and Gratitude cannot co-exist in the same person at the same time.  If your focus in life is completely self absorbed, you will live in a prison without bars.   A prison without bars is a self made prison.  In this prison
feelings of worthlessness emerge, producing additional depression, hostility and stress.

With the process of Centering  we become more aware and grateful.   Our focus naturally changes to all that we are receiving, to the needs of others, what we can give, as well as, what needs to be done. When we do it., we take action without hesitation.

Once our focus is placed upon simple daily actions, and upon doing “deeds of service”, the monkey mind is dismantled and passing emotions do not take center stage.

One of the most powerful antidotes to any type of psychological suffering and learning to remain “Calm” through it all is the process of learning to deposit positives in our mind, along with the Can do Spirit, along with the Power of Centering.
