Lifetime Wants and Desires
Copyright 2005 John Halderman
Do you know all the things you want to have, do and be in life? Have your listed them? Not too many people do, but it's interesting, of the people who accomplish a lot in their life, most all have a list.
Though the years I have noticed that most highly successful, adventurous and accomplished people have a list of all the things they would like to do. And most of them did not know how they would accomplish all the things on the list when they initially wrote them down, yet they do it.
There is magic in a list of this sort; the people who do make a list eventually come up with ways to accomplish much or all of their list. And those who do not make a list usually don't even try to figure out how to do something. Even if you think about something it is not nearly as powerful as when you start by writing it down.
This looks so simple, so why don't many people do this? There are several reasons: You don't think about it. No one ever told you about doing it. Why list things that are clearly out of your means? I don't have any experience in those things.
But I bet you do have some things that you still think would be exciting, rewarding, fulfilling or just fun to do. We all do, but generally we push them aside as unattainable.
Why don't you do a list for yourself now? Here's what to do and not do when making a list.
Do:
Think big, Dream big, Imagine money and resources were no object, Disregard perceived skills needed, Time is of no concern, People you want to meet, People you want to do something with, Something you have always wanted, Places you want to see/go, Activities you want to experience, Challenges that are calling you, Accomplishments you seek, Records to set, What you should have done before, No restrictive reasons, Think you are worthy
Don't:
Consider worry or fear, Consider doubts, Consider current situation, Consider knowledge or skill, Consider education or position, Consider social status, Consider your opinion of self, Analyze how, Listen to naysayers, Be 'reasonable', Be 'logical'
OK you get the idea, get to it. First, do a brain dump. Write down 100 things as fast as you can, don't think for 5 minutes. Just write whatever comes to mind quickly, abbreviate. However many you get down is good. Skip about 4 or 5 lines between items to allow room for step three.
Second, keep the list handy and look at it at least once a day for a week, adding whatever comes to mind.
Third, After each item write how you will benefit from accomplishing each item. Is it personal satisfaction, fulfillment, serving others, whatever you feel about it? What emotional feeling would be attached to its accomplishment? This helps support the item with reasons why, which is more powerful in your mind.
Setting into your mind the desire to do this will activate your inner thoughts. For some people it may take a while for some of the things to surface. Particularly if they have been emotionally buried deep in your mind.
Then, look at the list at least once a week, daily is better. Read it over; think about what it would mean to fulfill each of the items. Say, 'what if I could. . . ?' Don't allow negative critical thinking to come in, just dream and enjoy the possibility.
Pick out one or two that you think you may be able to accomplish. What can you do right now to move towards it? Even just a small step, I can just be learning more about it. Do whatever you can at the time to move towards at least one item.
Look at the list on a regular basis to keep the ideas active in your subconscious.
The reason why you have not moved towards any of them up to this point is you have not formally stated them as desires. In the past you may have even negated the idea of attaining them. Don't close the door on any possibility, if you can't see yourself stepping out tomorrow to do something, let it be. Don't negate it forever, let it be a possibility that someway, somehow you can.
I'm not going to guarantee to you that they will magically come to be, but remember, the people who write down their wants and their goals get more of them than those who don't.
Having great goals attract more energy than do small ones. Set your sights on grand ideas that are exciting, glorious, support personal growth, assist others, and expand human potential. Let your emotions get involved.
Protect your ideas, feelings and energy, be careful about sharing your grand ideas with people who are likely to negate them and any possibility of your accomplishing them. Only share them with people who you know to be supporting of big dreams.
You get what you expect to get, so expect big things. Plant the seeds of grand ideas, keep nurturing them while paying attention for messages and opportunities to move closer to them. Keep it up read the list often and imagine how it will feel to accomplish each one.
Your personal development is your responsibility, become active in your growth every day because you're worth it.

How To Raise Your Self Esteem By Becoming Stronger
Many people in life would like to gain more confidence or to increase their self esteem. In this article, I give free tips on how to do this. I myself have managed to change my whole life by implementing the advice given. I hope it also proves beneficial for you.
I am Stephen Hill from England. I had many issues as I grew up from a child, through the teenage years, and finally to adulthood which had a damaging affect on my confidence levels. These included:
A bald patch on my head
A speech impediment known as a stutter
A weight problem, I was basically too fat
I am quite short at five foot four
Certain people I met would be quite nasty and would try to make fun of me. They would succeed as I would be very hurt from their comments, even though I tried to never show it.
These people were making my life a misery and by the age of twenty-two I had had enough. I decided I needed a big change in attitude and started to read books about life and about positive thinking etc.
These were the things I had to take on board:
It is not important what other people think of you, it is what you think that counts
You need to start to like yourself
There are various things about your person, you do not like but which you can not change. You therefore have to start accepting these things and realising that maybe there are other people in life who are more unfortunate than you.
You need to have respect for yourself
Do not accept second best in life
Be happy
I tried hard to implement this advice and even though it was not easy to change, I knew I had to. I basically live life to the full now and try not to worry about anything trivial.
Stephen Hill has a number of websites including:
stuttering therapy
lasik laser treatment
lasik surgery
Christian Success Training- Are You Maximized or Minimized for Success?
Christian Success Training- Are You Maximized or Minimized for Success?
by Doug Firebaugh
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword"...
Hebrews 4:12
How sharp are you at what you do for a living? Are you someone who "gets it" and is looked up to, or are you still trying to figure Success out?
Are you quick on your feet and quick to act? Do you have strong instincts when it comes to High Achievement?
How powerful are you in front of people, and when you communicate? Does it impact people and excite them? Does it move them and create an emotiopnal stirring or do your words fall flat on the floor with not much response?
Do you communicate in a powerful fashion?
No?
There is a Holy Success Secret that lies within every Christian's hands. It is the Secret to Success that everyone seeks, but few find. It is a Power SOAKED with God's Power and Touch, and is a Supernatural Success Magnet on Steroids. It is simply the most Success focused environment on earth.
It's called The Word of God.
And that alone will sharpen your skill set for Success like a razor. It will take your raw Success iron, and change it to steel, and then sharpen it to the point of where even the evil one knows not to distrub your efforts and Success pursuit.
It will make you a powerful force in anything you do. it will accelerate anything you do. It will enlarge anything you touch. It will multiply everything you task. And it will increase all aspects of your Success walk.
And It will make you a quick thinker, quick on your feet, and a quick study.
How?
By the incredible Power of Change that lies within It. The Power to change every aspect of you, and to create a new you that people will be amazed at. And it all happens from the Unseen Realm, where God lives.
It will change your thinking.
It will change your confidence.
It will change your communication.
It will change your belief.
It will change your possibilities.
It will change your perspective.
It will change your expectations.
The Bible will change radically your potential for Success. From an Unseen Power from an Unseen Realm, with an Unseen Touch that will Transform you overnight.
BUT- You MUST read it daily!
Start with the Book of Proverbs and then move to the Book of John. Take 1 chapter a day, and ask, "How can this apply to my Success efforts? What can I learn from this? What is the Success Message that can be found here?"
This time in the Word will empower you and your Success in ways that you cannot fathom, and enlarge your potential to Succeed in ways that are unimaginable.
Then get a Success journal, and make daily notes of your thoughts and what you can do with what you have read with your Success.
But it's like an air conditioner when it's 112 degrees outside.(typical summer here in Dallas.)
If it's not plugged in, it won't work. Are you plugged into God's Word? Do you read a part of it daily?
Here is a tip:
Don't just plug into IT....
Let It PLUG INTO YOU! And CONNECT you to the Supernatural SOURCE for all Christian Success!
It will change your Success and High Achievement forever!
