Success rarely happens by accident. Admittedly, there are some who have literally stumbled upon success but the vast majority who reach those heights fought long and hard to get there. In fact, the majority probably failed at more things than complete failures have. Yet, despite all those many setbacks, they managed to win out in the end. It’s all in the mindset. Let’s take a look at what most of these successful individuals have in common. Let’s look at the path they traveled to reach their destination. Let’s look at the attitudes they carried with them as they faced the challenges along the road. Indeed, their approaches are amazingly similar. The first thing these people have is a specific and focused conception of their destination. They know exactly where they want to end up. They understand their own value and see where it can be best utilized for the benefit of others. And the mere realization that their value needs to benefit others if success is to be achieved is in itself an unusual characteristic. These people have something to say and know exactly who to say it to. These people believe in the destination more than the path. They realize their efforts will be met with failure more often than they’d like and that even the efforts that do not fail will probably produce disappointing results. Think about success as a matter of straight probability. If one in 50 attempts delivers success, 49 deliver failure. You might get lucky and hit success the very first time. But you also might try 40 different things and with success still out of reach. The quality we’re talking about here is tenacity. Determination. Focus. These people have an unending passion to reach their final destination and they’ll stop at nothing to get there. Indeed, I’ve failed a lot more than I ever imagined I could but I’m still trying new things and I’m still making progress. Am I at my destination yet? Absolutely not. But learning every single day and getting closer by the minute. Successful people don’t see failures as failures. They see them as lessons they need to learn to reach their intended destination. Don’t get me wrong. The emotional rollercoaster of a millionaire-in-process can be severe and the financial rollercoaster isn’t much better. But the tenacity to get up again and again and continue trying new things is what ends up differentiating the ones who succeed from those who fail. Cultivating a millionaire mindset doesn’t happen overnight. You can’t go from complete failure-avoidance to the opposite in one day. It’s a process that takes time; one baby step after another. Try something small. Don’t risk too much. See if you get some results. Then try something else, perhaps a big more ambitious, and see how it goes. You get used to this after a while and it all gets a bit easier. The millionaire mindset is focused on only one thing: success. It sees the destination as the only necessity and everything else as optional. Tactical Execution has made a business of helping the millionaire mindset find strategies that work. Many of those strategies are laid out in detail on our website and I hope you’ll visit to take advantage of the free resources available there.

Here is a suggestion for a game to play at your next party. Write down this question on a piece of paper and pass it around. Make sure that everyone gets a chance to answer it. The question is, “How important is “belief” to you? I wonder what kind of answers you would get? Tell everyone that they can not qualify the question by asking questions about the question. Some will be tempted to ask things like, “Do you mean my religious beliefs?” or “Do you mean beliefs in general?” Just tell them to answer the question the best they can the way it is written, which is again: “How important is belief to you?” It will make for an interesting game I promise you that! Eventually someone in the group will say that belief is so important that it makes all things happen. This is the answer that the famous architect of the 50’s and 60’s Frank Lloyd Wright would have given. Frank Lloyd Wright was the controversial architect that created weird shaped houses and buildings that seemed to come out of the future. He used designs that many architects of his time said could not be done. You may recall one such house in the movie “North by Northwest”, an Alfred Hitchcock movie where the villain’s safe house hung over the side of Mount Rushmore on steel girders. Frank Lloyd Wriight is the chap from whom we take our quote today. He is the one who said, “The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.” Actually, Wright’s ideas are not so extraordinary. Many people believe like he that things happen because our belief in them makes them happen. On the other hand, Wright said two things in that quotes and some people find these two statements a mystical match-up. Wright said “The thing always happens that you really believe in”, and “the belief in a thing makes it happen.” Some would argue that one thing has nothing to do with the other. What about you? Where do you stand when it comes to belief and Wright’s presumption? This is another one of those positive thinking statements that crosses the spiritual metaphysical line so it is important that we get it correct. Part “A” of his statement is harder to agree with than part “B”. Consider, in part “B” all he is saying is that – beliefs have power and it is that power that makes things happen. Without that kind of power most things would not get done. He has my complete agreement on that. “Belief in a thing makes it happen.” However part “A” is saying something different. It is saying that things happen that you believe. Well, isn’t also true that things happen that we sometimes don’t believe? Absolutely! I am in a middle aged man and I still experience things that happen that I just could not believe. But before you are quick to agree with that last statement I suggest you pause and ponder it a bit longer. I must ask myself openly and honestly if I have become a believer because a thing happened that I could not believe. Suddenly I am in a new reality. Time has put me there. Just because I did not believe it doesn’t mean that I still don’t believe it. It is very possible that my disbelief has turned into belief over time. Now as I begin to look at the evidence I am beginning to wonder if part “A” isn’t also true. Example: I do not believe that nice attractive women often pick bad men to be their love-interest or partner. In fact that is true. The nicest prettiest women do go after the seemingly seedy characters in men. And though I refuse to believe it, it happens time and again. Upon examination my belief has changed over time and “The thing that happens which I say I don’t believe, I really do believe” making part “A” agreeable after-all. But Frank Lloyd Wright did not mean this as two separate statements. He really did mean it to be a mystical, spiritual meaining if you will. The thing always happens that you really believe in is meant for us to reflect on the idea that to what extent we believe in a thing it will happen. Further, it is because the power of our belief is what makes a thing happen. This statement taken at face value brings up all kinds of debate for it represents something more than the two separate statements. It is almost as if Frank Lloyd Wright was trying to tell us a grand secret of the universe. I take his side once again. I too believe in the sacredness of the power of belief. I would further add to his statement that once you have attained belief, or once you know a thing to be true in fact, it no longer requires faith because it is known. Faith is something that is needed before we know for certain. Belief follows faith in order. I believe one of our missions on earth is to become knowledgeable. In a spiritual explanation one could say that process comes in three stages. The first is complete unknowning. The second is having faith in a thing (going with it even though you do not believe yet). The third is knowing it as fact, (faith is no longer required). That is belief. Once we see life in those three stages, Frank Lloyd Wright’s presumption takes on the greater meaning I spoke about. Read this article a second time to get the thrust. So why is this important to our self empowerment? Because in seeking self empowerment one looks for the sources of power from within. One source is belief; but before there is belief there is need of faith and knowing this will help us to be self empowered.

Stagnant energy can be a major cause of blockages in all areas of your life, including financial lack, lethargy and confusion, relationship problems, and more. You may be familiar with the benefits of clearing stagnant energy from your living space by giving your home a solid “Spring cleaning” each year – but there’s also a little-known activity that can work wonders to clear stagnation from your life at any time: CLEAN YOUR CAR! Your vehicle is the symbol of progress and movement in your life. Keeping it clean and in good working order carries a lot of energetic – and symbolic – weight! Think about that for a moment. A car that is cluttered with miscellaneous objects and trash, poorly maintained and dirty sends a powerful message of chaos and disorganization to the universe! The result will most often be struggle, lack, inertia and obstacles. On the other hand, a car that is well-maintained and clean conveys an entirely different message to the universe. Clarity, empowerment, forward progress, freedom and clear-flowing energy! The energy and intent in these two scenarios is conveyed into the movement and progress of your life experiences! If you are trying to make more progress in your life or attract greater prosperity, abundance or opportunities, try this: 1) First, clear ALL of the clutter out of your car. Throw away trash and unusable items, put away items to be kept, and make your vehicle as neat and orderly as possible. 2) Wash your vehicle, inside and out. Scrub the outside (or visit your local car wash), wash all the dust from the dashboard and console, and vacuum the seats and carpet. 3) Shine and polish all hard surfaces, and use a spray-on freshener for the seats and carpet. Buy a yummy-smelling air freshener too! 4) Take your car in for maintenance, if you haven’t been keeping up with that. Have the oil changed, tune-up done, and replace tires that are worn or leaking. 5) Write something like this on a sheet of paper: “This vehicle represents my smooth and easy transition through life. By keeping it in good condition, I symbolically call forth the power to make consistent progress on any and all of my intentions. I enjoy a fun and easy path to everything I desire!” Then fold the sheet of paper and keep it in the car. You can store it in the glovebox, under the driver’s seat, or anywhere – just keep it in the car. Then, be sure to KEEP the vehicle in pristine condition from now on! What if you don’t have a vehicle? You can apply these same concepts to any mode of transportation! Do you have a bicycle? Do you walk to local destinations? Do you use public transportation? Be sure that your bicycle, walking shoes and traveling clothes are clean and in good repair. If you use public transportation, do your best to choose a clean and well-lit seat – and even dust off the seat before you settle in. If you have a long commute on a bus or train, be sure to take along some good books to read or uplifting audio recordings to keep your mind focused on progress and movement – symbolically and energetically! It’s amazing how well these techniques can work. In very short order you should notice some interesting changes taking place in your life! You may get offered a better job, stumble upon great opportunities, or breeze through obstacles as if they were composed of tissue paper. Simply convey to the universe that you intend to make progress and receive greater prosperity and abundance – and the universe says, “Okay, here you go!” Try it yourself and see.

If you’re looking for ways top stop blushing, you could spend a lifetime trying the next temporary solution, the latest green tinted make-up or some kind of foul home remedy that ends up gathering dust in the cupboard. In reality, there is but a few genuine ways to stop blushing for good. In fact. the only way to stop blushing or at best to calm in down to a comfortable level of control is to reprogram our minds and subconscious thoughts. Before we reach that stage, we first need to change our outlook on everyday things in life in order to truly stop the mental negativity that causes and triggers blushing in the first place. I’d like to explain how we can understand how other people might perceive our blushing, simply by understanding how we would act if the tables were turned… As a child, when we see something we are not familiar with such as a scary looking dog or a road with cars rushing past, we stare and retract from them. As an adult, these reactions become less as we experience more. However, we still have this natural instinctive reaction to things we are not too familiar with. So, when we see someone who blushes excessively or appears extremely shy, we tend to react just as we did as that young child – we stare and retract ourselves. On the other hand, some people react in different ways such as laughter, criticising or questioning. These alternative reactions can be equally hard for those who suffer from shyness and blushing due to these reactions being the very cause of shyness and blushing in the first place. Most of us however, take a little time to adjust to something new or less ordinary but, just as the child did, we become accustomed to such things in other people and move on. So, knowing that by our very nature, other people’s reactions and thoughts are only temporary… …it becomes easier to accept our initial shyness and blushing behaviours. Once everyone else has moved on after becoming accustomed to your uniqueness, you should also move on with them. It is impossible to venture throughout this wonderful world if you continue to let a pre-occupation about your skin tone or personality hold you back. All it tales is a little paddle in the big wide world to make many people realize that life is not so much about themselves but about others. If we all became so obsessed with ourselves the world would be a boring place to live in. Furthermore, it is vital to understand that friendships and respect are gained from listening, helping and involving yourself in others. People are attracted to others who show interest and provide benefits in their own lives. So whether or not you are prone to blushing, you will always have the ability to be a great friend, have great friends and achieve whatever you desire with a little dedication and hard work. So look outward in life, in order to feel better inward. Shift the focus of your personal problems to that of helping others with theirs, and you will soon notice the shyness and blushing fading away like an old painting.

“ They canceled ‘Wedding Belles.’ Boy, am I depressed.” “The price of gas is really depressing me.” “I’m turning 40 next month. What a depressing thought.” Go ahead and add your own cry of pain to the list, and then stop and ask why, if you are truly clinically depressed, you were watching a TV series as light an frothy as “Wedding Belles”, or driving around trying to save $.02 per gallon, or were even able to think as far ahead as next month. The words “depressed” and “depression” are undoubtedly two of the most carelessly used in the English language. They are tossed about like bowling pins at a juggling competition, by those who understand very little about depression. Perhaps one reason that the facts about depression are so poorly misunderstood is that those who think they might be suffering from it are afraid of being stigmatized as whiners and complainers. So they neither talk to anyone about depression nor seek treatment for it. Depression Vs. The Blues True depression can surface in many ways, and have many underlying factors, but all diagnosed cases of clinical depression have one thing in common–their duration. Depression is not the same as having the blues for a few weeks when a friend moves away or beating up on yourself because someone else got the promotion you were after. It’s perfectly natural, and even healthy, to have negative reactions to those kinds of experiences, but if you can continue on with your daily life and feel good about other things, you are not depressed. The most significant things about depression is that it lasts for at least three months, and even if the sufferer is able to overcome one bout, others a certain to occur. Those who are able to talk about depression with a medical professional will find that their emotional paralysis and inability to take any interest in their lives, or even-self loathing, are all classic symptoms and sure indications that they are clinically depressed. Another thing about depression is that, if left untreated, it can cause the victim’s emotional and even physical health to deteriorate dangerously. Depression normally begins as the”blahs”, when someone may just feel mentally fuzzy and not have much physical energy. At this stage a person who does not know much about depression may thing he or she is coming down with a cold or the flu, or just needs a break for the normal routine.

Depression May Be Hard To Recognize If that person’s family or friends also lack information about depression, and especially if the person is normally laid-back, they may not notice much difference until the person has become so withdrawn that it is obvious something is wrong. If you think you might be becoming clinically depressed, you owe it to yourself to get information about depression as soon as your can.
