Abundance Creating Resources You Already Have
You already have all the resources you need to accomplish all the things you want to achieve. Sound too good to be true, doesn't it? Fact is, it is true. You do have all the resources you need. All of them. The questions are:
how broad is your awareness of these resources
which resources are we talking of here?
and, for which needs?
There are countless resources that each individual possesses. It would be nigh impossible and self-defeating to attempt to discuss and highlight even a quarter of these resources in a short discourse as this one.
Let us take a look at a few of the resources you already have to accomplish all the things you want to achieve:
Creating Vision
You have probably heard it before, or you may even have said it yourself. "Where there is no vision, the people perish".
In the absence of a compelling vision, people tend to be stuck in their present circumstances. They wallow in a 'comfort zone' and drift from self-pity to anxiety and anger. Where there is no vision people perish.
Vision is neither wishful thinking, nor is it an expression of hope or a modified form of day-dreaming.
Vision is the rare ability of standing in the future and looking at the past as it unfolded. While you are standing there, you make decisions from that 'future' (instead of from pressing present circumstances).
For some vision is the ability to outline a point of convergence related to their personal focus.
This means determining and acknowledging ahead of fact, the destination of one's efforts.
I suppose a plausible working definition should be: a portrayal of intended activities in vivid, clear crisp terms that capture human meaning and value.
Visioning (the process of creating a vision) is one of the essential resource that affects your personal time record. Visioning comprises three aspects:
human meaning (what will it mean to me)
This one consideration makes sure that the life you are pursuing derives from your own vision. It is to make sure that you are not pursuing someone else's vision of who you should become and where you should be.
It is a tragedy tha many people are living other people's visions. Hopefully you are not one of the many!
value (what value will it add)
It is very easy to be engaged in activities that do not add any value to your life. Seeking to provide an answer to this question will help in rooting out 'idling' activities.
stakeholders (who else is touched by my vision)
There are people who can drive your vision, just as ther are people whose visions you can impact. When you create your vision, think of the impact of your own vision on the visions of others.
Practical considerations when formulating a simple vision include asking:
what do I need to accomplish
how do I wish to accomplish it
by when do I want to accomplish it
what are my values
to what degree is there congruency between my vision and my values
For more complicated visioning there will be more involved procedures.
On the whole, the importance of vision as a resource lies in the fact that it acts as a beacon.
Your Values
Closely tied to your vision are values.
Values as a resource form a system (not a hierarchy) of what is acceptable and what is deplorable to you.
In order to exploit this resource meaningfully, you must be in a position where you can clarify your values in each of the following areas:
personal development
work, and
relationships
The idea here is that you will only operate resourcefully in areas that are congruent with your values.
The second thing that you must do in order to meaningfully exploit this resource is to identify your value equivalents:
what do others have to do to meet your expectations
what do others have to do to violate your values
how do you judge when you are acting from your values
how do you judge when you are acting against your values
The main reason you have to learn to operate within the constraints of your values is to bring integrity to your system. As it has been said, your values determine your quality.
Your Distinctive Abilities
Distinctive abilities are those abilities that distinguish one individual from the others. Such abilities set you apart from the crowd.
Distinctive abilities set an individual in a class their own, making them non-pareil. They are the opposite of general abilities, and are characterized by:
they are foundational and broadbased
they are laterally transferable.
You may need to think a little hard to identify some of the distinctive abilities that you possess. They are distinctive because, as I have already stated, they are those abilities that differentiate you from the next person. And they are distinctive because properly acknowledged, they may be used to create a competitive advantage for you in any situation. So, what are some of the distinctive abilities you have?
unpacking skills
Unpacking skills refer to those skills you call on when you have to decide which skill is needed in which situation. Think about it! When you do an omelet, which skill do you need? When you are typing on a keyboard, which skill do you need? And when you ride a bicycle, which skill do you need?
This may seem trite, but there are certain skills you may want to be consciously competent in. That is, you will need to know exactly the things that you do when you execute the particular skill.
Right now you may wish to do a skills audit:
do I know which skills I have available to me?
do I know how to acquire skills on the fly?
broadening your maps
Okay, you do know what a map is and what it is used for. You also know that the map is not the territory. This is an imperative distinctive ability. Let me show you why.
Imagine you have in your hands a map of an area that you are quite familiar with. You look at the map, and you realize that a lot of what is evident about the area is not reflected in the map. How useful will that map be? To you? And to a total stranger?
Broadening your maps means being able to thoroughly understand the dimensions of your reality, being able to deconstruct those areas of your understanding that are no more relevant, useful or true. It is also means knowing how, where, and when to adjust or replace your maps.
Broadening your maps may ultimately mean developing the courage to discard useless and obsolete maps.
This is one distinctive ability that may mean the difference that makes the whole difference.
switching resources
The ability to switch resources means just that. Deciding when to replace a resource, which resource to complement and when, which resource to import, as well as when to do the adjusting in your resource allocation.
Switching resources depends on a reliable feedback mechanism which is also a resource you develop.
This ability comes in handy when you come across obstacles in what you are doing. To avoid madness, you switch your resources around so that you may get a different outcome from the one that you do not want.
Haven't you switched resources before? I bet you have!
I am being pretty selective here. I suppose if you can get yourself a piece of paper and a pen, you will come up with a long list of distinctive abilities you have. Give yourself some time to do it. They are your resources. You see, you already have all the resources you need to accomplish whatever you want to achieve.
Your Mentors
Mentors are trusted and/or experienced advisors. You do know the story of Telemachus in Homer's Odyssey ..., don't you?
Mentors can be:
someone you know personally
someone you admire (but do not know personally)
some fictional character
There are two major functions a mentor is supposed to perform:
help you with the greatest external difficulty you are likely to face, and
help you with the greatest internal weakness that might stop you from developing.
External difficulties refer to obstacles, hindrances and situations on the environmental level. The environmental level refers to the physical plane of performance. That is where the action is supposed to happen. It is filled with both constraints and opportunities.
Internal weaknesses refer to self-referencing inclinations that are self-sabotaging. These come in the form of
self-doubt
low self-esteem
inaccurate self-concepts
exposure to and experience with the ISG strategy.
[Let's talk about this for a while. The ISG strategy is the strategy that when used, guarantees total failure. You may have used this strategy in the past to generalize failure by assuming it is:
Internal (focusing exclusively and one-dimensionally on what you did wrong and self-blaming)
Stable (conceiving the pattern of failure as unchangeable)
Global (seeing failure in all areas of life)]
These internal weaknesses appear on the identity level of experience. They are about how you refer to yourself. They are the weaknesses that you refer to whenever you say: "I am stupid", "I am a donkey", I am mentally wounded", "I will never make it", "I am ..."
The role of a mentor in helping you manage your external difficulties and internal weaknesses is invaluable. The beautiful thing is that it is easy to access this resource.
These then are the resources you have available to yourself. I hope you have seen that you can never have any excuses. You already have all the resources that you need to accomplish all the things you want to achieve!
Let me table them quickly here for you

It's Sure to Succeed
There are "How to" seminars on virtually every business topic. For the entrepreneur or mid-level manager, business seminars are effective networking tools as well as learning opportunities.During the course of a day you could have a tremendous amount of technical terms thrown at you, presentations on how to analyze marketing information, effective copywriting and sales letters that will guarantee a response.Have it ever occurred to you while attending a seminar about the financial secrets of becoming a millionaire that they are teaching theorems you basically already know? Nevertheless, they are millionaires living the way they do thanks to the same secrets that you supposedly know.Lately, some gurus have realized that overwhelming attendees with technical how to's won't take them to that next level that will help them achieve financial freedom.The solution has been to turn toward the inner self. To help them get rid of hidden negative beliefs and replace them with winning beliefs. By incorporating in introspective behaviors, anything they teach about real estate, marketing, copywriting becomes at least ten times more powerful for the dreamers.Realistically, there is little point in being taught how to write great copy or how to attract copious numbers of people to your website if buried convictions are interfering with your attempts, correct?Of course, you have to go for "both". It is good to learn marketing skills and every kind of proper information for your business. But you also need to work inside. Your inner world creates your outer world.It is good to draw up a plan and setting goals. However, after researching the lives and qualities of many successful people it was clear that you also need to develop your personality.Your winner personality is manifested as an underlying expression of your qualities or attributes. Your qualities are all the support for you to be successful in life.As long as you understand the power of your attributes, you can enhance your successful personality. But remember, you need to be a "learn-it-all" not a "know-it-all".Be open-minded and take those resources coming to your hands right now. Why resisting that book or that intriguing seminar, if it comes after you followed your hunches to read about success.Act now! Nobody will be able to discourage you from proceeding with your successful journey. In fact, their resistance will increase your potentiality.To fully learn the secret power of your attributes, please read the book "THE TEN ENLIGHTENED TEACHINGS OF THE GRAND MASTERS: A complete guide to making universal laws work for you."

The Curse of Success Geniuses
Don't talk to me about how to succeed! I've read success advice and books and articles. They're all…""What Do You Think I am Going to Say?""They're all good? They're too good!Why, when I've read just what to do to succeed, I am ready to tell the President to get out, so that I may show the world what real success is.""Those books inspire me! They wind me up like an alarm clock all set for success. They make me dream BIG dreams-and then in a few days, I wake up and start to forget! "You see dreaming of success is not enough, people succeed because they do something… they do something it in a big way."You have probably read that 'do something' advice, but- let me tell you-there's something left out! And, to be honest I don't believe that very successful men actually know just how they succeed."They're geniuses, and geniuses can do things without knowing how they do them."Let me explain… I can't play the piano, but my wife is a musical genius. She can play any tune she hears. She can play anything I whistle! But she doesn't know HOW she does it, and she can't tell me how she does it, in fact she can not even read music well!""I believe that a lot of very successful people are success geniuses, and so, isn't it true that they can succeed without knowing just how they do it?"Think of some especially gifted genius you might know, who was able to do some one thing astoundingly well without knowing how he did it.Geniuses are rare.In degree of capacity, they differ from the rest of us, and so, perhaps, eminently successful people - success geniuses - are able to succeed without being conscious of how they do it.So often the advice on success, which we read, comes from these people. But since they are geniuses, perhaps they don't know just what makes them successful any more than the natural born musician knows what makes it possible for him to play any air he hears without having been taught it.I think of my oldest daughter. She is eight and already is very good at playing the piano… like my wife. She's a musical genius. The piano keys do exactly what she wants them to do. She's a genius in playing the piano; but not more then a few weeks ago she asked me…"What does the inside of a piano look like?"She knew exactly what keys to press to make the piano do what she wanted yet she had no idea how the piano made the noise.It would be as wise to trust my yellow lab Titus to repair my piano then to leave it to my friend's daughter. Although my daughter Gayle plays the piano successfully, she knows nothing of the inside parts which determine its action.There's something left out in many of those books we read… You need to know the process of succeeding, and the means to be used. But, first you need to know which factors determine success."I've been thinking of the advice which the most successful people have given us. They think that the factors which determine success are hard work, enthusiasm, honesty, persistency, and so forth.These are valuable assets, but they are not the determining factors."Knowledge, for instance, is a valuable asset, but it does not determine success- for there are thousands of men of knowledge who fail. Being industrious is a valuable asset, but not determining factors- for thousands of industrious workers fail to become successful men. We must discover the determining factors first. Then, we'll know the factors which will always insure success-which will always make success certain."What are the factors then?They are: health, good appearance, hard work, enthusiasm, industry, persistence, sincerity, earnestness, self-confidence, concentration, determination, honesty, good memory, self-control, tact, patience, and imagination.Find the rest of the story at http://TheExecutiveTrainer.com...At Last!

3 Power Tips To Increase Financial Success FA$T!
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be
blessed with miraculous success while others are not?Successful people don't achieve their success by accident.
It takes much more than skills and talents to attain great
success in life. Even the most talented people can fail. It's
the ones who recognize their power and use it to their
advantage that achieve the success they desire!Jim Carey deliberately used his power to strategically
produce success at a time when things were challenging in
his life. In 1987, he was married with a new baby, living in a
single apartment in Los Angeles, and working in comedy
clubs at night. Afterwards, he would drive to the top of
Mulholland Drive and look out over the city where he
affirmed that he was the most sought after comedian in the
business. He experienced what it was like to be that
successful and didn't come down from the mountain until
he felt like he was. He also wrote himself a check for $10
million dollars for acting services rendered. A path opened
up that eventually led him to that success. On the day that
his check was dated, Jim Carrey was worth 10 million
dollars. He later became one of the world's highest paid
actors and able to command $20 million a movie.You, too, have the power to achieve tremendous success. It
just takes understanding your power and then setting your
desires into motion!Skyrocket your business to success by using just a few
simple techniques!1. START YOUR DAY BY STATING A POWERFUL
DECLARATION!Your words are powerful! The words that you speak and the
thoughts that you think attract to you the exact conditions that
you focus upon the most consistently. If you want to be
successful, your words and your thoughts need to
consistently confirm your success!* Affirm: "Enormous quantities of money are being drawn to
me from everywhere and I see myself becoming financially
independent immediately!"2. WRITE IT DOWN!Take advantage of the Power of your word!Everyday write down:* "I see my business skyrocketing and becoming an
immediate financial success! I consistently net over $
easily and effortlessly every single month!"Or:* "I see all of my investments doubling and tripling
consistently, which make me a multi-millionaire
immediately!"3. FEEL LIKE IT!Take a moment each day and experience what it feels like to
be the success you desire.Example: While you are sitting at your desk, close your eyes
and experience yourself sitting in a location that you would
be in if your success were a reality now! Such as:* Sitting at a desk in your new office:
Feel how comfortable your new leather chair is and imagine
yourself feeling how smooth the hardwood finish is on your
desktop. It feels so wonderful being in your brand new
office. It is so beautiful, and everything is so clean and
organized. You hear your phones continually ringing with
orders and a competent staff is taking all of the calls. Your
business has become so successful that everyone is
seeking you out and buying everything that you have for sale.* Sitting on a chase lounge by your new swimming pool:
Feel how relaxing it is to be lying out on a comfortable chase
lounge next to your beautiful new pool. The air is clear and
smells so good, and the heat from the sun feels so
soothing on your body. You are so grateful that your
business has become such a tremendous financial
success that you can now take time off to consistently relax
and play with your family!* Being on your own yacht on the ocean:
Feel how exhilarating it is to be cruising out on the turquoise
ocean on your own magnificent yacht. You love the smell of
the fresh ocean air and you can feel the sea breeze on your
face. You are so grateful that money is just pouring into your
life! Lucrative opportunities became available to you that
enabled you to immediately become a huge financial
success! Your business is now generating millions of
dollars in passive income and you have lots of time to do
what you love. You have fun traveling and relaxing...all year
through!or...* Being on stage being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey!:
Her producers sought you out because your product has
become one of her "Favorite Things"! You are now a world
renown success and the revenues have not only afforded
you a lavish lifestyle, your contributions to charities have
empowered everyone throughout the world.Use your imagination! Whatever you impress your
subconscious with consistently, will soon be reproduced in
your life.© 2005 Carole Dore, PowerVision Dynamics,

Success: Beware The Arrival Syndrome
There is a saying that goes something like this: Getting to the top is easy, the hard thing is staying there.There's a reason this is so true. It has to do with this interesting little quirk we humans have:Our belief in finish lines.Deep within our brains we harbor this belief that once we arrive, we can relax.There are times in life when there are finish lines:10K races and marathons, dog and horse racing tracks and at NASCAR races.The problem is we apply this thinking to so many areas where there really are no finish lines:Getting in shape, dieting, growing in your profession and especially marriage and other relationships.In no way am I saying we can't enjoy our achievements and pause to smell the roses. It's just that it's so tempting to stop and smell only the roses and not much else.When we imagine finish lines where there are none, we fall prey to something I call arrival syndrome.Signs of Arrival SyndromeYou believe you have "arrived" (with accompanying trumpets).You coast and fool yourself into believing that's all you have to do.You stop doing the things that got you where you are.You do significantly less of the things that got you where you are.You slip backwards, losing the ground you have gained.You deny it when other people notice you are slipping back.Avoiding Arrival SyndromeDiscard the belief in finish lines.Pause to enjoy your successes, just don't stop there.Learn CPR - that's short for consistent, persistent and resistant. Consistent in the actions you take, persistent in your efforts to continue growing, and resistant to the notion of resting on your laurels.Remember to ask, no matter how good things get:"How can I make this even better?"Take notice of the mile posts of success along the way. This builds momentum and keeps you going.Keep doing the things that got you where you are. And if you really want to be different, do even more of the things that got you there. This one is so simple and obvious, yet so many times we don't do it.It's often difficult to balance the enjoyment of all we have achieved with the commitment to continue growing. Here's one tip that can be helpful:Unless you see a white line painted on the ground in front of you, there are no finish lines.For more tips and tools for success visit Tools for Successful Living

Success Achievement Secrets
You can achieve whatever you want by incorporating the following components into your daily schedule. Consistency is key. To enjoy positive results, you need to make these secrets a way of life. All of the secrets are equally important. You can't pick and choose. These secrets are not sequential steps. They all have to be utilized simultaneously.If you're not used to integrating these concepts into your life, you may feel awkward at first. Your comfort level will grow as you repeatedly apply them. Eventually, they will become second nature and you will wonder why everyone doesn't use them. Go ahead and indulge yourself. You can't overdose and there are no negative side effects. Only good things will result.S: Sense of purpose. You need goals, a clear vision of what you want, and an understanding of your destination. Live with intention. A sense of purpose is your treasure map. Without it, you are like a cork floating on the ocean; the wind, waves, currents, and tides determine your direction. It's normal for distractions to arise. A sense of purpose keeps you on track.E: Excellence. Be the best you can be at everything you do. If you don't commit to, and demand excellence, you broadcast that you accept mediocrity. Acceptance of mediocrity demonstrates you don't care. If you don't care, how can you expect anyone else to? First rate attracts first rate. Excellence stands far ahead from the crowd.C: Contribution. Doing for others, service and giving. You can have anything in life that you want if you help enough other people get what they want. Rewards are a result, not a goal. They are proportional to how much you are willing to give. But only if you give without the expectation of receiving. All of your actions will come full circle, but there's no way to know when, where or how.R: Responsibility. Take 100% responsibility for your life. Don't blame others. Doing so dooms you to a life of frustration and disappointment. Success or failure, everyone is self-made. You are responsible for where you are today. If you don't like your situation, change it.E: Effort. There is no shortcut or substitute for focus and hard work. Work smart and hard. Anything worthwhile takes effort. Exceed what is expected. When an airplane takes off, all engines are set to full throttle. Once airborne, the engines are throttled back for level flight. Power has to be increased in response to turbulence or to gain more altitude. Life works the same way. All endeavors require 110% effort to get them off the ground. Once things get going, you can throttle back and enjoy the results of your efforts.T: Time management. Set priorities. Each day has only 24 hours. Use discretion in how you spend your time. Say no to those activities that distract you from your objectives. Reserve your time for those actions that get you closer to your goals. Use time, don't waste it.S: Stay with it. Persist and persevere. Never, ever give up. You can't accomplish anything without resolve. No matter how hopeless or impossible a situation may seem, only through persistence will you have the ability to triumph. There is nothing more powerful than pure, dogged tenacity. Determination can even compensate for other areas that may be lacking such as education, experience or finances.These secrets of achievement can be utilized by anyone, at anytime. It doesn't matter what has happened in the past. Start applying all of these secrets today.copyright 2005 Bryan GoldenBryan Golden is a self-development and motivational expert, author, and adjunct professor.
