Did you do your assignment? Did you monitor your thoughts?
What have you been focusing on most of the time? Are you
focusing on what you want, or what you don?t want?
If you have habitually been focusing on what you don?t
want, then it?s time to recognize that it will only bring you
more of the same - what you DON'T want!
The fact that you are conscious of your thinking is a giant
step forward. Most people on this planet have no idea what
they are thinking. Instead, they just keep REACTING to
their thoughts.
However, observing what you focus your attention on most of
the time is the key to creating the life you desire.
Let?s continue.
Most people want a better life. In an attempt to change
their life for the better, they often purchase personal
development books and courses and attend personal
development seminars. In this lesson I want to talk about
why most personal development attempts fail.
My guess is that this is not the first personal development
information you have been exposed to. I will even go out on
a limb and say that you have probably tried numerous
personal development books, tapes/Cd's, systems, methods,
or techniques that did not produce the results you
expected.
Why Not?
Why do most personal development programs fail? The
answer to this will enable you to rise above the majority of
people who are trying to hopelessly to improve their lives.
Most personal development programs fail because:
1. We Fear Change
Face this fact; no matter what type of personal development
strategy you are using, at some point you are going to have
to make a CHANGE. It could be a small change, or a big
change, but you are going to have to get out of your
?comfort zone?.
Our sub-conscious ?conditioned mind? does not like change.
In fact, it is designed to resist change and to keep us
where we are. The reason for this is the sub-conscious is
primarily a survival mechanism. Its primary function is
survival. It perceives any type of change as a threat to
our survival. Unless we can bypass our survival mechanism,
all our personal development attempts will fail.
2. We Want Instant Results
Today people are conditioned by media advertising to expect
?instant results.? Hence they want it NOW and expect to see
results immediately in one session, one day, one week, one
chapter of a book, etc. They give most personal development
techniques and practices one chance, and if they do not get
immediate results, they get discouraged and give up.
Immediate results are always possible, but sometimes we
need additional time to align our energy with our desires.
If we do not align our energy properly, we will not reach
our goal.
The need for instant results or instant gratification often
keeps people from taking the time to align their energy, so
it actually takes them LONGER to reach their goals.
3. We Give Up Too Soon.
Most people give up too soon. Part of this is due to the
need for instant results and instant gratification. However,
one of the reasons we give up too soon is we look at
temporary setbacks as proof we cannot reach our goal.
When this happens we blame ourselves and/or the personal
development program, book, audio, seminar, etc. for our
inability to achieve out goal and we give up too soon.
In order for any personal development program to work, you
must not give up, even when it ?looks? like it is not working.
4. We are ?TRYING? instead of ?DOING?
Most people ?try? to get what they want. The problem is
every time you ?try?, you are setting yourself up for failure.
In reality you can't try to do anything. You either DO it or you
DON'T. So there is really not such thing as ?trying?.
Your mind may resist this concept, but it is true. You may
say. ?I tried this or that and I eventually succeeded.? You
succeeded when you stopped trying and started doing. You
did what you needed to do to achieve your goal. So the
lesson here is that you cannot succeed as long as you are
?trying?. However, once you stop "trying" and start "doing"
you can begin to expect results.
When people ?try? personal development programs, they
immediately set themselves up for failure. Trying has
built-in failure because if we try something and don?t
succeed, we can always say, ?Well, at least I tried?. But
that does not get you what you want. The problem is that
you can only have two things in life- reasons or results.
In other words, you either have what you want or you have
reasons why you don?t have what you want, but there in
nothing in between.
My point here is that the success or failure with any
personal improvement strategy (or anything else in life) is
based on DOING, not TRYING to DO!
Those who ?try? are guaranteed to fail. Those that DO
(follow through until they get the result they desire) are
the people who achieve their great dreams and desires.
5. We Focus on WHAT Instead of WHY.
Most people fail at personal development efforts because
they focus on WHAT they have to do to get what they want
instead of focusing on WHY they want it. If you lose focus
on WHY you want what you want, and instead you focus on
WHAT needs to be done, you will lose your motivation and
give up when the going gets tough.
Unless you constantly focus on the WHY - the benefits or
what you will gain when you reach your goal - you will not
be able to make the changes you desire and you will give up
as soon as you run into obstacles that seem overwhelming.
What I am asking you to do is to decide how serious you are
about having what you want. WHY do you want what you want?
Forget about what you have to DO to get it. That will take
care of itself. If you are not clear on WHY you want what
you want (the benefits you will gain when your reach your
goal) and are not serious following through until you
achieve it, then don't waste your time reading the rest of
these lessons. Instead, sit back in your recliner, turn on
the TV, open a can of beer, scratch the back of your head,
and just keep doing what you have been doing and I
guarantee you that you will keep getting what you have been
getting!
But if you are excited about making a major change in your
life, if you are really ready to attract what you desire,
and you are not going to give up until you reach your goal,
then something wonderful is going to happen in your life.
And it will be in the next few lessons

you. It's going to get more exciting as we move into each
new lesson so hang in there!

Change My Life Now Chapter II
So, I know you've been waiting on edge to find out about Chapter II in the book "Beyond Positive Thing" by Robert Anthony. The Chapter was about truth and you.
If you really think about it, you lie every day. I can already hear you say "No I don't! I'm a very honest person!". Settle down Skippy! You probably are a very honest person. The lies I'm talking about are the ones we tell your-self! Man can we come up with some good ones.
The biggest reason people don't achieve their goals because they always coming up with reasons (lies) why something won't work. Or they get board. They give up. Lose focus. He'll life happens. You NEED to be in the present moment and look back often to see your accomplishments. To be proud.
There is old saying "If you want instant results chop some wood" He'll my Dad may have said that. I was always chopping wood as a kid.
That's for another day.
We need to look back to feel good about what we have done. Even if it's writing a article like this one. It makes me feel good that maybe I can help just one person and that is part of my goal.
Back to the lies. What do you tell your-self when setting you goals? What about the first day? The next week? Month? Year? Does it get easier to let go of that goal as time passes? What lies do you tell your-self?
I'm not much one to set goals at New Years but, about 18 years ago a made a New Years resolution not to eat red meat.
Maybe I'll live longer, maybe not. It's not something I even think about anymore. But, I think I keep that goal to remind myself that when I decide to-do I stick with it. Stop lieing to your-self and the truth shall set you free...
and to make permanent changes all you need to-do is change you story.
To achieve your goals you need to major elements.
Truth and Desire. More on this in the next chapter.
I believe we always have two choices. One is to-do while the other is not to-do.
So, you can put this off for another day or you can change your life forever by taking action and control of your life by click here now and read what Dr. Robert has to say.!

Million Dollar Secret Part 1
I would like begin these lessons by asking you an
important question: Do you know WHY you are reading this
right now?
Your answer your might be "I came across your website on a
search engine", or "A friend told me about your program",
or it might be any other number of "LOGICAL" reasons.
The important thing this: It doesn't matter if there is a
LOGICAL explanation or not. The fact that you are reading
this means that there is something that you are seeking,
but you haven't discovered how to manifest it in your life
yet.
It may have something to do with your business, your
finances, your health, your relationships - or even
something intangible, like peace of mind.
But until you understand what I am about to reveal, which
is HOW things come in and out of your life, you will never
be able to CONSCIOUSLY create the life you desire.
On the other hand, once you know the Million Dollar Secret
That Can Change Your Life, you will FINALLY be able to
achieve your dreams and goals, one after the other, in a
rapid, easy, stress free manner.
I am sure I don't have to tell you that your mind is your
most powerful tool for achieving anything you want in life.
However, since everyone has a mind, why don't they use it
to create the lives they desire?
Why is it that most people use the power of their mind to
work AGAINST them, instead of FOR them? You are going to
find out in just a few minutes.
FIRST OF ALL, I AM GOING TO PREDICT YOUR FUTURE!
That's right. I am not a psychic, but I am going to start
off by predicting your future with 100% accuracy!
How can I possibly do that?
It's very simple. I KNOW something about you - something
that will allow me to predict your future with 100%
accuracy.
Here it is: "If you keep THINKING what you are thinking,
you will keep DOING what you are doing, and you will keep
GETTING what you are getting.
In other words, what you are experiencing NOW and what
you will experience in the FUTURE is the result of your
previous thoughts. Your future is predetermined by your
thoughts in this moment. So, if you want to change your
future, you must change what you are thinking about in this
moment.
If I can convince you to do that, I predict you will have
an absolutely fantastic, successful, exciting and happy
future.
THE POWER OF FOCUS!
We are going to talk a lot about THE POWER OF FOCUS
throughout these lessons.
How you feel about life and anything in particular, depends
on WHERE YOU FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION.
Ask yourself this question, "What do I focus on most of the
time?" If you are like most people, you will discover
something very interesting about yourself. You will
discover that you spend more time focusing on what you
DON'T want than what you DO want.
Why is this important?
Because you can't expect to have what you WANT if you
focuson the OPPOSITE of what you want. Put simply,
you will create and attract MORE of whatever you focus on.
Want Proof?
Have you ever made this statement?
"I feel anxious, worried and stressed out, but I don't know
why."
From what you have just learned, it is easy to figure out
"why". It is impossible to feel sad, tense, worried or
stressed out and not know why.
If you are feeling anxious, sad, tense, worried or stressed
out it is because you are focusing on thoughts that create
anxious, worried and stressful feelings. In other words,
you are focusing on what you DON?T want, which is to feel
anxious, sad, tense, worried or stressed out.
Said another way, bad thoughts can never produce good
results and good thoughts can never produce bad results.
Anytime you feel stressed, worried, fearful or have any
other negative feeling, it is because you are doing two
things:
1. You are focusing on what you DON?T want to happen.
2. You are focusing on the future, not the present moment.
It is impossible to feel stress, worry, fear or any other
negative emotion if you are living in the present moment.
The ONLY way you can feel negative emotion is to focus on
what MIGHT happen, or what you DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN,
in the next moment, next hour, next day, next week,
next year, etc.
So your assignment for this first lesson is to monitor your
thoughts. From now on I would like you to become the
"observer" of your thoughts. Don't judge. Just observe.
Observe what you focus on and think about most of the time.
Are you focused on the past? What happened and how you
wishit were different? Are you worried about the future?
The next minute, the next day, next week, etc?
Start right now. Take a look at what you focus on most of
the time. As you do this, please keep in mind: What you
think about today, in this moment, will become your future.
Once you understand this, you can accurately predict your
future. Simply put, If you keep thinking what you are
thinking, you will keep getting what you are getting. But
if you shift your thought patterns and focus on what you WANT,
instead of what you DON?T WANT, you can begin to create
a new and exciting future.
I will explain this in detail as we go into the next lessons,
but for now please observe your thoughts and become aware
of what you think about most of the time.
In Lesson 2 we will talk about why most self-improvement
programs fail and what we can do to guarantee our success.
Thanks again for taking the time to ready and study this
material. You have begun a journey into self-discovery that
can truly change your life.

Change My Life Now
Every once in awhile you come across something that is so profound, so deep, so significant that we need too take a depth breath and just say WOW!
The moment I am talking about is the first chapter of "Beyond Positive Thinking" by Dr. Robert Anthony. Yes I've only read the first chapter and has forced me to write this blog "Change My Life Now". Why? Because I want to share. I'm not one to talk about myself to much. Nor will I start a conversation about a subject just for the sake of discussing. But, I have a-lot of life experiences and I need to start sharing to help others.
As of this writing Feb 5, 2009 we are experiencing some of the worst economic time in the History of the Global economy. I don't need to go into details I'm sure your quite aware! With that said, I believe I am a 10% percenter. What is that? It's someone that is willing to try, do or take on a challenge that 90% of the people won't. Once I have decided that I am going to learn something it's done. The only questions are When and How.
So being in a Financial mess myself right now, I took it upon myself and decided to solve it. After all I did create the mess all by myself! I'm not going to tell you how much debt I have right now but, lets just say it's more than the average person makes in a life time.
So, yesterday I went for a 2hr long easy going hike. Most of the time I was thinking how much my life suck's right now. Which is unusual for me because I'm a pretty positive person. We'll guess we all have bad days.
By the end of the hike I was feeling better and just knew I had to turn this around. When I got home I took a 2hr nap. Also, unusual! Most of the time I sleep 5-6hrs a night. When I woke up I went down stairs to check my email. I had one from some marketing guy selling some program. I don't remember what it was but I do remember it was like $900. Dr. Robert Anthony was part of this promotion had said something very interesting. So, I went to google and typed in his name. Woola!
He had a book which you already know the name. I started to read about his book and more and more things he said started making sense. It was if someone just turned on a light while I was sitting in darkness. So, I did purchase the book last night but didn't start reading until this morning.
The rest of the story is still in the making...
