Hello All My AdlandPro Friends and Family! Here are some different areas and things to think about, and to work on, to help you succeed in life and business! -------------------------------------------- Reality Resolving to do something is not the same as doing it. Intention, as essential as it may be, is no substitute for action. So how do you transform your resolutions into action? How do you bring those intentions to reality? Sheer willpower is often not enough, because even the power of your will has limitations. Rather than struggling and striving to make something happen, open yourself fully to the possibility and then allow it to happen in you. Rather than fighting against your limitations, live with faith that what is possible will become real through the loving effort and energy you give to it. Instead of struggling to do what you have resolved, live the reality of it in ever-increasing measure. Whatever you would resolve or intend, see it not as something you must eventually acquire or achieve. Know it as something you can now begin to live. Live the reality of what you intend with your thoughts, your moments, your attention, efforts, enthusiasm and energy. And it will be. -------------------------------------------- Working! If everything was perfect, there would be nothing left to do. If you had already achieved and become everything you ever wanted, there would be nothing left for you to look forward to experiencing. Thankfully, things are not perfect, the goals have not all been reached. There is always room for improvement, and always some enticing possibility to beckon you forward. The problems, the imperfections, the challenges and setbacks make for a very real, very positive possibility. It is that life can always get better and better. When you've worked with persistence and commitment, and have finally reached the goal, what's the next thing you want to do? You want to put all that hard-earned experience to work again as quickly as possible on an even bigger goal. Achievement would indeed be empty if it meant that you could never achieve again. What a blessing it is that there's always more to be done. Life is best when you're busy working on it. And it can just keep getting better and better. -------------------------------------------- Closer Look! Viewed from a distance, the challenge appears difficult, complex, and insurmountable. Yet when you get close enough to it, you see that it's nothing more than a lot of simple, easily conquered challenges bundled together. Is there something you've been avoiding because it just seems so overwhelming? Move in closer to it, to where you can see the details. Pick one of those details and go to work on it. When you've moved past that small challenge go on to the next one. Soon you'll see that the big, complex, overwhelming challenge is in fact something you can handle. Once you've gotten inside and gone to work, you'll soon find your way through the whole thing. The most ambitious goals, the most burdensome problems are not nearly so daunting as they may first appear. Have the courage to walk right up to them and get a closer look. When you do, you'll discover a secret shared by all those who accomplish great things. There's no limit to what you can achieve when you take it one step at a time. -------------------------------------------- I hope that this info helps you work on some issues, or areas in your life, that you need to change and make better! These things are not very hard to do, we just have to be diligent in doing them. Take problems, and life, one thing at a time and one day at a time, and you CAN achieve all that you set out to! Just keep a positive attitude at all times! Marilyn L. Ali
