Success is just another word.The term is used widely by book authors in the field of personal development and a lot in education when passing exams or simply filling out an online application for a merchant account: "Success" informs us about a process which has been positively confirmed.

In personal life success is only measureable if we have goals to compare it to. You cannot determine any success without first having set up any goals. Goal setting is one of the basic tasks when operating a homebased business for example. Short term goals or long term goals, idealistic or economic, every goal once it is achieved, is a success.

What does a successful person look like? Do you imagine someone with an expensive, fast car with a Rolex watch? Do you think about a sportsperson winning a gold medal? A great contributor to humanity, such as Ghandi? Or do you imagine a person who is merely happy?

See the importance of your definition of success? Once somebody has achieved his goals and still has no feeling of fulfillment whatsoever, probably has not defined HIS success in a proper way. Looking at the environment and the multiple possibilities we are influenced by, (parents, teachers, peers, church, advertisements,television, movies)it may be clear that it is no easy job to find out what exactly success means to YOU or in other words: What is it that makes YOU happy?

It´s good and helpful to have a vision. Let´s say your vision is that you´re fed up with your 9 to 5 job and you want to start a homebased business of your own. Of course, you want it to be successful. But what does this success look like for you? Is it extra income so that you can go on an extra holiday every year? Do you want it to bring you a full time income so you can leave your current job? Or do you want to be another Matt Morris of Success University and make millions? Which of these definitions means the most to you? A vision describes the result, the big picture and keeps us moving towards our goals. The vision is the motivation and the goals help us to get things done every single day.

While we are aiming for the stars, we also need to look around us and see where we are successful every day.To find your own success definitions, ask yourself the following: What is important to you? Write a list of your important values such as integrity, humour, family or freedom and make sure your goals fit in with these. When did you last feel happy and proud of yourself? What were you doing, or what had you achieved? If you want success in life there are many resources, such as life coaching, or online websites such as Success University. But first you need to define success on your own terms. Once you have done that, you take action to achieve it, and achieve it daily.

How To Make Eyes More Attractive?

Dr John Anne 2008-03-10
Title: How To Make Eyes More Attractive?

The most expressive features of your face are eyes! So make them more beautiful and sparkling to get all that special attention you are desperate of. Our vision is one of those wonderful gifts most of us take for granted.

The only time we even have cause to think about our vision as such is when we think about a blind person who has no vision at all, or our own vision begins to fail us. Being aware of the importance of protecting your vision can help you to avoid problems with it in the future.

Eye Care Tips

1. To completely relax the eyes and the surrounding muscles, close your eyes and think of something that is pleasant or soothing and at a distance. Now gently open your eyes and look into the distance. Next focus on an object at arm's length. Do this extremely relaxing exercise four or five times a day.

2. If your eye twitches, or your eyes are red and feeling itchy, massage your scalp with curd.

3. Soak 1 tsp. dry amla in one cup of water overnight. Next morning strain it through a muslin cloth and then add one extra cup of water. Splash your eyes with this solution each morning. This makes your eyes sparkle.

4. All of us have tendancy of forming dark circles just under our eyes. You can fix these dark circles by putting just two slices of potato over your eyes for 20 minutes. Trust me, you will be glad with the results once you take off the potatoes.

5. Another technique to get rid of dark circles is by applying warm tea bags over your eyes for 15 minutes. This method works too.
6. Remember to curl your eyes lashes before applying mascara. This frames the eyes making them looker larger and lighter.
7. Use mascara on your bottom lashes as well as your top.

8. Don't forget about your eyebrows. Beautifully shaped, full brows with a high arc can do wonders for the eyes. A trip to a beauty salon is well worth the time and money.
9. Lay a good base. A layer of foundation on your eyelids will help smooth out imperfections and help your eye shadow and liner look their best.

10. Choose a color theme. This doesn’t meant that you have to use a monochrome scheme for your eye makeup, but it does mean that it’s a good idea to keep an idea of color harmony in mind as you apply your makeup. The colors that will work best for you depend on your skin tone.

11. Soften over-prominent eyes. Just because the eyes are the first thing we pay attention to doesn’t meant that they must be the focus of every look. If you feel that your eyes are too prominent, apply medium shadow and don’t use highlights. This will make them appear deeper-set.

12. Smoky eyes is a glamourous makeup, which has been one of the most fashionable makeups for a few seasons. It creates a refined and mysterious image. Wondering how to get it by yourself? The key to the perfect smoky eyes is to blend colors properly. Avoid blue hues, choose black, gray, brown or dark green shadows and liners instea

Create a Powerful Vision

Alicia Forest 2008-01-02
Title: Create a Powerful Vision

In the Client Abundance coaching programs, we work on implementing several strategies that are designed to PULL your business forward, almost effortlessly. One of those strategies is creating a powerful vision for your business. My private clients have found this exercise to be both motivating and inspiring, and I'm certain you will too.

Once a year, I take a short retreat to work on revising my vision for my business (and my life). This is an annual break I take away from my business (but with my family, although some of my clients prefer to go it alone, which is perfectly fine) to really think about and decide what I want the next 1 to 3 years to look like. I write my vision and I create a whole bunch of goals for my business. I also use this time to talk with my husband about my vision and goals. He is a great sounding board for all the ideas I come up with... and we usually have this conversation while hanging out on the beach... :)

Being near the water definitely has some powerfully positive effects on my brain, and I always come away from this retreat with a renewed sense of energy and passion for my work.

Creating a powerful vision is your first step on your path to achieving your own business success. Knowing where you are going will make the journey that much easier and faster, as well as simply more enjoyable. So, let's get started...

Step 1: Book your retreat
Book a 2-3 day retreat so that you can work intensively on your detailed 1 to 3 year vision. Get a very clear picture of where you intend to be 3 years from now. Book the time to do this. Make the commitment.

I have booked the following dates for my vision retreat:________________.

Step 2: While on your retreat, answer the following questions:
What do you want your life to look like in 3 years?
What is your inspiring and compelling vision for the future?
For your business? For your personal life?

The truth is you CAN design the perfect life and you CAN design the perfect business. How does it sound to you to be earning 6-figures a year, working 40 weeks a year, 3-4 days a week? Inviting? This is not a dream - it is achievable. It won't happen overnight, but - with some planning and hard work - it can be a reality sooner than you think.

So, the ultimate question is: "If we were meeting here in 3 years' time and looking back over the previous 36 months, what would have to have happened to you both personally and professionally for you to be satisfied with your progress?"

A few notes:

You don't have to go (far) away to go on your retreat. Go wherever you feel most creative and inspired, and where you are least likely to be interrupted.

Some people think and write better in silence, while others think and write better when there is a lot going on around them. Choose whatever works for you.

Before you begin to write, close your eyes and really see in your mind's eye how you want your entire life to be. For example, see your dream home. Is it a large home or something more cozy? Do you live on the ocean or near the mountains? Or are you in a fantastic apartment in the middle of NYC? Write about it in detail - and don't hold back!

Do the same for your business: Do you want a waiting list of clients? Or do you want to stop working one-on-one and move to working with groups only? Do you want to implement at least three new streams of income? Do you want to write your first print book? Do this for all the other parts of your life as well - for the tangible things (like your home, your car, your vacations, etc.) to the intangible (like who you want in your life, how you will give back, etc.).

Get the picture? Once you have written your vision, I promise you'll be really excited and motivated towards making that vision your reality!


 

Eagle Vision Fan Shroud: The Key to a Cool Engine

Anthony Fontanelle 2008-01-22
Title: Eagle Vision Fan Shroud: The Key to a Cool Engine

The Eagle Vision is a four-door sedan that was introduced in the market in 1993. It debuted at the 1992 North America International Auto Show in Detroit. A replacement for the Eagle Premier, it is in many ways similar to the Chrysler Concorde, Chrysler New Yorker, and the Dodge Intrepid. In some areas in Europe, it has been known as the Chrysler Vision. Only a year after it was released, the Eagle Vision was immediately featured in the Car and Driver magazine’s Ten Best list. This just goes to show how powerful the performance of the Vision is.

Although the Vision has just lasted more than a decade, a number of people who still own one remain satisfied with its entire operation. This is because the Vision has various components that keep the vehicle properly running. Among these is the Eagle Vision fan shroud. As one uses a vehicle, the engine burns down fuel and generates energy to move the vehicle. Along with this power, the engine also produces heat. This engine heat is taken care of by the vehicle’s cooling system to prevent engine overheat. When the engine overheats, some sensitive parts of the engine get damaged. To prevent having to replace parts of the engine, it is best to ensure that it is properly kept at its ideal operating temperature with an Eagle Vision fan shroud.

What the Eagle Vision fan shroud does is to prevent the recirculation of warm air under the hood. Made of tough plastic, it encloses the fan. It seeks to guide the warm air into the core and, in so doing, prevents it from coming back around the fan again. To ensure that warm air does not make a comeback after it has been directed through the correct process, it is important that the Eagle Vision fan shroud is mounted properly. In the right position, it can direct the flow of air as it should, thus preventing engine overheat.

Top Tips on How to make a powerful Vision Board that will get results!

Cornelis Boertjens 2007-10-08
Title: Top Tips on How to make a powerful Vision Board that will get results!
I think it is really exciting to see a fast growing number of people creating a personal Vision Board, as this is such an effective way to apply “The Law of Attraction” as seen in “The Secret”. However, a lot of people don't know exactly how to create a Vision Board, so I thought I'd give you my personal top tips as to how you can create a Vision Board that empowers you every day and that keeps you inspired for the long term.

Firstly, let me briefly explain what a Vision Board is. A Vision Board basically is a collage of images of all the things you would like to have, do or become. You either glue them on a paper cardboard or you can use computer software that is especially designed to assist in making your Vision Board. By using your Vision Board on a daily basis you will focus on your goals and dreams. This way you are feeding your subconscious mind with the goals you want to achieve. It is like the “orders” you wish to place with the Universe. Particularly important when you look at your Vision Board, is to really feel as if you have already achieved this goal. See and feel yourself in the position of having achieved those goals; notice how this feels. This feeling “as if” and the subsequent vibration that this causes is what actually attracts your goals into your reality, by virtue of “The Law of Attraction”. You can add power to your Vision Board by using inspiring affirmations or power words such as “Freedom” or “Dream car”. By using these positive self statements, we call affirmations; we can truly benefit from the positive energy that this generate and puts into the Universe.

So where do you start when creating a Vision Board? Well, firstly have a good think about what you wish to create for yourself in your life. What is important to you? Which goals do you want to achieve and will the achievement of these goals make you feel happy and fulfilled? Look into different areas of life such as relationships, health, wealth, family, spirituality. Be as specific as possible; if you wish to create more spare time with your family then what would you do? Would you go out to the park with your children, would you take them on a camping trip? How would that make you feel? What is wealth for you? Owning a new house, going on an exotic holiday or donating to charity? What makes you feel fulfilled? It is worth spending time to think your goals through as this is essence of your Vision Board.

Make a list of all your different goals. Then think about how you can translate this goal visually into an image. Do you have images yourself you could use? The more personal the image, the stronger the emotional feeling that is created when you look at the image. For instance, you could represent “more family time” with a nice picture of yourself and your family on a day out. Or make a picture of yourself on a spot that represents a goal like “developing my spirituality”. If you want to eat a more healthy diet, use a picture of yourself eating something healthy. Or you can choose to visualize this goal with a picture of some fruit and vegetables. You can also use a picture of yourself at your ideal size and weight or find a picture of someone at this ideal size and weight and put your face in place of theirs. I recommend to first focus on 6-8 major goals and to therefore create a Vision Board of about 6-12 images. This will assist you in keeping the focus on different areas of your life, without loosing sight of your main goals.. This way you will use the Vision Board to it’s maximum effectiveness. Once you have achieved a goal, make sure to update your Vision Board with the image of another goal. This way your Vision Board keeps up to date and inspirational.

Another important suggestion is to create maximum exposure to your Vision Board. Make sure you display your Vision Board in different places, so you see it often, whether this is conscious or subconscious. Ideally, you hang your Vision Board all around your home and keep one in your diary as well. By using Vision Board software, you can display your Vision Board on your computer as your screen saver and wall paper. It also allows you to print off your Vision Board. In addition, make sure to share your Vision Board with the people in your life who can encourage you and will keep you accountable. You can show it to them when they visit your home, or -if you use Vision Board Software- you could send your Vision Board to them by email.

Finally, the key is to JUST START. Hopefully these tips have made this a bit easier! Too many people just think about their Vision Board and plan to “someday” create one “when the time is right”.... The right time is NOW! Creating a Vision Board is an ongoing process. As your goals and dreams change so will your Vision Board. So just start the process NOW and learn along the way!

Happy visualizing!

First Step for Millionaires in the Making

Robert Shemin 2008-05-04
Title: First Step for Millionaires in the Making
There are roughly 9.5 million millionaires in the world, and it’s more than likely 99.9 percent of them didn’t get rich on their own.

According to the latest World Wealth Report released in June by Merrill Lynch & Co., the amount of worldwide millionaires jumped from 8.7 million due to a powerful global economy. The combined wealth of the world’s richest is equal to $37.2 trillion, an 11 percent increase from 2005.

Expansion and emerging economies has played a tremendous role in the creation of wealth. The ranks are swelling in the United States and abroad, but the one truism about becoming a millionaire, whether it’s in Europe, Asia or the U.S., is that you can’t get their on your own.

My new book, “How Come That Idiot’s Rich and I’m Not,” covers several topics, including how the rich attain their financial status through the help of others, which I call “O.P. Power”.

Some of the world’s most successful individuals – Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Andrew Carnegie – didn’t become a success on their own. They harnessed the power of other people, tapping into teamwork and surrounding themselves with those who had a common vision. If you attempt to do everything yourself, you will fail.

The study from Merrill Lynch predicts that by 2011, wealth among the world’s rich is expected to eclipse $51 trillion, rising at an average yearly rate of 6.8 percent. Nearly all of those who have and will become wealthy have assembled a “dream team” of individuals who represent both the power of the new entrepreneur and the seasoned professional.

After you’ve created the idea for getting rich, the first priority is to surround yourself with the people who can make that happen. Using their experience, their ideas, their time and their money is paramount to achieving success. You can have the vision on your own, but you’re going to need to assemble a great team to realize that vision.


 

The Power of Vision in Coaching: How to Create Your Own and Help Your Clients with Theirs

Doug Greene & June Davidson 2006-06-24
Title: The Power of Vision in Coaching: How to Create Your Own and Help Your Clients with Theirs
Having a strong, clear vision is the cornerstone of coaching success – both for coaches and their clients. A great coach must not only have a strong vision of their own; they must also be able to help their client or “PBC” (Person Being Coached) developing theirs.

The best visions are clear, useful, achievable and inseparable from who and what you (or your clients) are. As a coach, if you can master the skill of helping to create clear and authentic visions in yourself and others, you’ll be light years ahead of your competition. . It helps both you and your clients with the foundation upon which they can build a successful and satisfying life – both personally and professionally.

FIRST, WORK ON YOUR OWN VISION

Without a clear vision of what you want to do, where you want to go, or what you, success will be much more difficult – even impossible – to achieve.. How can you know what to do – what actions to take - if you don’t know where you’re going?

Not having a vision is like sailing without a destination. You end up on the Sea of Destiny without a port, wandering the ocean aimlessly, getting blown in whatever direction the wind is headed. When a challenging storm bears down, the gale-force winds will likely capsize your latest plans immediately. You’ll end up looking like you were aboard the Ship of Fools.

Having a clear vision and mission is what gives you that destination. Even though gale-force challenges may temporarily capsize your progress, you’ll more easily be able to get back on course and reach your objectives.

Contrary to what many people think, visions do not usually magically appear. They can take time - requiring introspection, self-analysis, and journaling. It also helps to review your past successes and – just as important – your past disappointments and failures. Draw on your dream, talents and desire. Observe your calling to be a coach.

The first place to look when developing your vision is within – to that deeper inner self. You can draw upon your talent, dreams and desires, or whatever other avenues help you uncover those nuggets that will become your navigational beacons in life.

Unfortunately, there are usually no shortcuts in creating your vision. You can’t just “make it up”; it takes WORK. But the rewards for doing this work can save you years – even a lifetime – of frustration by enabling you and your clients to live the life one is destined for.

SEVEN IDEAS TO HELP DEVELOP YOUR VISION

Idea 1: Listen and Look Within

Since vision starts within, it makes sense to listen and feel what your mind and soul really want. What stirs your heart? What is your greatest desire? What do you dream about?
Bottom line: Make sure your vision comes from within. If what you want to pursue does not truly come your inner depths, it will likely be impossible to achieve.

Idea 2: Seek the Help of Others; Make It a Team Sport
We do not live in a bubble. Utilize a team where you can. Heed the advice of a person who has more experiences in you – especially in coaching. Find a coach who works on vision. Seek help from friends who know you well. They can help you confirm or question your own observations and provide a reality check.

Creating a MasterMind Group of 4-6 people also working on their vision can be extremely powerful. Use weekly or semi-weekly calls to support each other and keep the momentum going.

Asking and using others for guidance not only helps you with your own vision; it also puts you on the receiving end of help. This experience will in turn help you when you become the coach helping others with their vision. You’ll have done the proverbial “walk in their shoes”.

Idea #2: Create a Sacred, Inner Space to Go Deeper

The vision you create for your practice begins in your mind and heart. It is something you can feel, taste, see, hear and touch with your soul.

Creating a supportive, inner environment is a powerful way to aid you in developing your vision. To access the inner depths of your mind and heart, find a way to retreat to a serene and tranquil place where your mind is free of the “outer noise”.

In this sacred space, your heart, mind, and soul can more easily access what might be called Source. What you can find there is your most Authentic Self. Tap into this successfully, and your vision is likely to spring forth easily.

Though your mind may resist with every fiber of its being, try surrender into this emptiness. Check your brain out at the door. A Zen master once said, “You already are that which you seek.” But you’ll find it much easier to uncover that if you are relaxed and can get your mind out of the way.

Step 3: Ask (the Right) Questions

Ask the questions that provoke and encourage answers to the deeper questions. These might include:

• What is the single most important thing my practice needs to go to the next level and further help my customers best?
• What are the three most important actions I need to take in order to increase my sales or income?
• What are the three most important changes I need to make in order to help me and/or my clients accomplish my/their objectives?
• What is the single biggest challenge that – if resolved – would most help me or my clients.

Idea 5: Identity the Problems Holding You Back

Sometimes we’re just plain stuck. What about you? Where are your points of “stuck-ed-ness”? Discussing it with others – especially your coach and MasterMind team – is a powerful way to uncover the detours around or through the roadblocks holding you back from developing your vision.

There are times when we must first clear the rocks off the trail before we can continue on our path of self-discovery. Moving these out of the way helps unblock the energy flow, enabling us to more easily tap into the Source for answers.

Idea 7: Take Action and “Go For It!”

Nothing happens without action. Once you have come up with a Vision that seems to fit well, ACT ON IT. It might not be perfect, but if it’s “good enough”, then get going! You can always “course correct”.

Don’t get bogged down in thinking about HOW you’re going to get there. Momentum is a powerful force, perhaps THE most important force when you’re first embarking for your Vision.

A sailor on a long voyage can never know for sure the exact course they will take to their destination. He/she will need to constantly make corrections for winds, current, and unforeseen challenges along the route. In the same way, you can tweak and adapt your own journey.

Idea 6: K.I.S.S. (Keep It Short & Simple)

Once you have a pretty good idea of your vision, simplify it. Keep honing it down and find ways to bring more clarity. Be brutal; in fact go for what is sometimes call “brutal clarity of purpose”.

There is a nice analogy between a vision and a powerful photo. A very successful studio photographer was asked how he consistently came up with powerful photos. He responded, “Once I’ve got all the elements in the photo that I think I need, I start taking away from it. If I remove or simplify an element or item and it helps, I keep the change. I continue this process with everything I can until it hurts the overall image. That’s when I know I’ve got my image.”

The lesson: try simplifying or removing extraneous parts of your vision. Ask yourself, “Does it help – or hinder? If it helps, keep the change. If it doesn’t, put it back. Continue with this process until you have the best picture you can.

CONCLUSION
Developing a Vision and acting on it is one of the most essential steps to creating a successful coaching practice. It is also one of the most powerful services you can offer your clients in helping them manifest their fullest potential.

Try these 7 ideas to help you do this. If something works for you, use it! If it doesn’t, discard it. We all have our own best ways of finding and developing our Vision. What matters most is that you do it, then act on it.

 

God is not the Enemy

Title: God is not the Enemy

God is not the enemy.
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

The rich and the powerful people had been telling the poor and the weak that this poverty and this weakness had been given to them by God and they are not responsible for these troubles with them. They are telling the people that when God was writing down their luck, it had been written on the lower side and that had been done by God and that is the reason they are suffering and God wrote better luck for them and that is the reason they are having more and are enjoying life.
That could be the reason that the poor and weak people are no having any ill will against the rich and the powerful, they are against God and that is the reason they are standing in prayer before God and they are praying that whatever wrong had been written in their luck, that should be written off and a new luck line be there in their hand. If we conduct a survey of people who are standing in prayer before God, we shall find that only those are present before God who are poor and the weak and all the rich and the powerful believe in their own worth and they are, if at all, present in some religious house, they are present there not because they have got any faith in that place or in God, but they are present there only formally just to show to the poor that they too believe in God and they are offering their thanks to God who had made them rich and powerful.
We have noted that the poor and the weak people who are just offering prayers could not better their lot and on the other hand the people who took up this upgrading in their own hands could solve their problems and in some of the countries there is not much gap between the rich and the poor. They could understand that prayer alone would not work and they also say that they are not very much sure that there is a God who is writing our luck. They believe that if at all there is a God, He is like our parent and a parent would never discriminate. Therefore, they have started to know their rights and they have started to have those rights by all means at their command. They would not leave these matters at the will of God and at the will of those who are rich and powerful. They know that the people who are not protecting their own rights would lose their rights and that is the reason they are very much cautious about their rights and privileges. They would not allow the rich and the powerful to have more rights and they know what is fare distribution of wealth and power.
So time has come when all the poor and weak people, where-ever they live, to rise and see that none on earth is snatching away their rights. We have seen in India that the poor and the weak people are collecting in religious places and are offering prayers and the people who are conducting all these religious discourses, they too are looting the poor and the weak. Time has come when this man should know the real enemy and they must watch their interests from that robber and the class of robbers. Only prayer would not help them because even God helps those who help themselves. The real enemy is not God, but this man who is in shape of rich and powerful.

Efficient Action

Marelisa Fabrega 2008-01-13
Title: Efficient Action

This is the tenth in a series of articles based on the teachings found in the success classic “The Science of Getting Rich”, written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. This book—now in the public domain--is essential reading for anyone who wants to become wealthy. It served as inspiration for the hit film, “The Secret”.

As indicated in previous articles of this series, you must use your thoughts to communicate your wants to the original substance. We’ve also seen that in addition to using your mind to focus continually on what you want, you must also act so that you’re ready to receive all of the good that the universe will be moving toward you in response to your positive thoughts. As for the way in which you should act, Mr. Wattles explains in Chapter 12 of "The Science of Getting Rich" that you need to act efficiently.

First of all, remember that the universe works on the principle of expansion and advancement. Since the universe wants society to move forward, it will come to the aid of those who more than fill their present place, thus helping to speed up the progress of the world. The way to more than fill your present place is to do all that you can do where you are. To quote “The Science of Getting Rich”:

“You can advance only by being larger than your present place, and no one is larger than his present place who leaves undone any of the work pertaining to that place. The world is advanced only by those who more than fill their present places.”

There are countless people who go to work and simply comply with the bare minimum in their job description. They do what they’re told to do by their boss and not one thing more. These people will never get ahead. In order to do things in “a certain way” you have to go beyond your job description and do more than is expected of you. This is what it means to more than fill your present place.

When you begin to think in a certain way, massive forces are set to work on your behalf, and much may depend on you doing a simple act which is to open the door to great opportunities. Your failure to do even one small thing can cause a long delay in getting what you want. Therefore, do everyday all that you can do on that day.

However, it is important that you don’t overwork or rush frantically about trying to do the greatest number of things in the shortest possible time. What counts is the efficiency of each separate act. Every inefficient act is a failure, and the more inefficient acts you do, the worse off you are. In order to move forward, you must do enough things, no matter how common place, in an efficient manner.

So how do you act in an efficient manner? If you dwell often on what you want, this will become so firmly fixed upon your mind that throughout the day you need only to refer mentally to that image to cause your best effort to be put forth. As Mr. Wattles indicates, “Every act can be made strong and efficient by holding your vision while you’re doing it and putting the whole power of your FAITH and PURPOSE into it.”

Mistakes come from acting out of fear or acting hastily because you think someone else is going to beat you to the thing you want to do. Fix your attention on the mental image of what you want and begin to give thanks that you’re getting it; this will strengthen your faith and renew your purpose. Keep your mind close to the supreme mind by reverent gratitude and you will act efficiently.

The idea is not to act for the sake of acting, but to act with purpose. You act with purpose when you’re taking steps to get what you want, to achieve the mental picture you’ve constructed in your mind. Actions are the last component of the creative process, and they must be in alignment with your mental picture.

In addition, as you begin to move toward larger life, you will increase the magnetic pull toward you of everything that is good. Life attracts life, and the more that you develop yourself in mind, body and soul, the more alive that you become.

Do everything that you can do everyday, but do it without haste, worry, or fear. If you don’t do any inefficient acts—that is, if you don’t act out of doubt or fear--, and if you do a sufficient number of efficient acts—by concentrating on the vision of what you want with faith and purpose--, you will become rich.
