Instead of holding back because you don’t have hard proof that you can achieve the thing you desire, see if you can come up with evidence that you can’t.

Belief is oftentimes the only thing that can assure the successful conclusion of a doubtful undertaking. Your faith acts upon all the forces about you to bring into being the results you imagine and believe in.

At this time in your life, your mindset may be flawed by doubt and skepticism. The idea of having more, becoming rich, living in a new home, enjoying better health or a passionate relationship, may be foreign to you.

You haven’t been trained to think that way. None of us have.

You may have definite reservations about ever achieving your real desires in life, particularly with less effort and in a very abbreviated time frame.

Your skepticism , which you presume is based on rational thinking and an objective assessment of the facts about yourself, is really rooted in mental junk. The doubts that you have are not the product of accurate thinking, but habitual thinking. Very early in life, you accepted these flawed conclusions as correct and began to live your life as if those warped ideas about your potential were true.

Now is the time for you to find that faith you had in you before.

If you want to be skeptical of some ideas that truly deserve to be called into question, challenge the thoughts and ideas that have kept you from having the life you desire. Put those old inhibiting ideas to the test by going for it with everything you’ve got.

The secret of all power, all success, all riches, is in first thinking powerful thoughts, successful thoughts, thoughts of wealth and abundance. You must build them in your own mind first.

So for now, just suspend your disbelief. It is your belief in yourself that counts.

Just act like you have complete faith. Do what you’d do if you knew you were going to succeed. Behave like you have that total conviction.

Whatever it is you can have it – if you can believe in it – if you can see it in your mind’s eye as yours. Hold it in your thought, visualize it, see yourself having it. Make your desire clear and distinct.

Doubt is what does the most damage. So don’t give it any mental space. Proceed boldly, as if it is completely inconceivable that you will experience anything other than your most cherished desires.

If you must doubt something, doubt your limits.

His artillery was often greatly outnumbered, but it accomplished far more than the enemy’s because instead of scattering his fire, he concentrated it all on the point of attack.

So how does this apply to you and getting want you want out of life or business?  Well, the time you spend aimlessly dreaming and wishing would accomplish so much more if it were concentrated on one definite object.

You must be certain on the single most important thing you want in your life.  Do this first.  Center your thoughts on the thing you want.  Believe you will receive, then shut the door on every suggestion of fear, worry, or failure.

Most people today operate with the mindset that says success comes slowly and one step at a time. We’ve been conditioned to move systematically from our current levels of achievement to the next… and then the next…. and then the next… and then gradually working to the next higher level in the sequence.  This is gradual progress, and unfortunately a large number of us get burned out and give up before we ever realize our dreams.

It’s time to change your personal rules for success if you want to accelerate the rate at which you achieve anything you want in life.  Increasing your personal effectiveness many times over is not a commonplace idea… people just don’t think in those terms.

You should not be surprised to hear that unconventional success calls for unconventional approaches.

Unfortunately, for most of us, we go with the obvious.  We fall into the habit of relying on behaviors that have worked best for us over the years.  We become comfortable. We take an approach that appears to be very serviceable and enables us to perform at some level of success.  And then we become very attached to it, in fact, there’s a tendency to follow this favorite approach more and more often, such that we get better and better at handling things that particular way.

This “favorite approach’ usually creates an overdependence on doing things a certain way and sets us up to resist new maneuvers because they make us feel clumsy, awkward, and more at risk.

If you really want to get more out of life, have the things you want to have, you must be willing to break out of your routines and adopt new attitudes and behaviors.

There is a certain irony here.  The things that worked for you in the past very likely could, sooner or later, lose their serviceability and become major obstacles to you having the life you really desire.  Even if your customary approach still holds promise for maintaining where you are today, it may not help you much if you want more out of life and want it faster.

It’s entirely possible that it could cripple your progress all together.

There is, however, another course of action.  It is the way of the quantum leap.  It is the way for you to have it all and enjoy all the abundance life has to offer.  You really can have whatever it is you desire, once you understand and begin to use this remarkable power you already have. It is your master key to unlocking the door to the life you want.

“We must be talented, powerful and resilient creatures indeed given how much we manage to produce despite the constant undercutting, ridicule and needless censorship we aim at ourselves.”

How true is that… it  got me thinking.

Imagine how resourceful, creative, loving, strong and powerful you must be to live the life you’re living right now while under the constant scrutiny and judgment of a harsh inner critic…

YOU.

Now, imagine how much more you could be and do if you could move past your own judgement and criticisms, control your thinking and learn how to emotionalize your real desires in life.

The possibilities are limitless.

Here’s the promise.  Are you ready this?

Right now, today, you are capable of exponential improvement in your performance.  In any area of your life.

That’s right.  You can multiply your personal effectiveness, hit new highs, and do things you’ve never done before. The things you will achieve will blow you away.

And you don’t have to settle for things as they are today.  You can change all that.  And you can do it quickly.  If you’re ready, life is prepared to give you a breakthrough experience.  You can jump to a new level of achievement… live your dream… enjoy all the things you thought were out of reach.

You see, no matter how you wish to define success or how you decide to measure your achievements, you have barely scratched the surface of what you can personally accomplish.

Perhaps the time has come to change all that. Maybe you are ready to jump to higher levels of achievement.

Here’s what I’m going to do.  I am going to turn this article into a series of articles to keep that question alive in your mind and remind you not to settle for things the way they are today.  The other reason for writing this series is to inspire you to keep following your dreams, whatever they are.

“To keep your dreams alive, you need to breathe life into them everyday – your life.”  Stay tuned… 

It is my considered opinion that the hairdresser is the most influential person in any community. When the public goes to a hairdresser something happens to them, They feel safe, and they relax .The hairdresser knows what their skin is like under their makeup, they know their age, they don’t have to keep up any kind of pretense.

People tell a hairdresser things they wouldn’t dare confess to a priest, and they are open about matters they try to conceal from a doctor.

When people place their secret life in the hairdressers hands, the hairdresser gains an authority few other people ever attain. I have heard hairdressers quoted with complete conviction on, art, literature, politics, economics, child care, and morals. I tell you that a clever, thoughtful, ambitious hairdresser, yields a power beyond the comprehension of most people
