You Become Exactly What You Think You Are by Greg Flahive

Greg Flahive agrees with this famous quote:

“No thought, whether it be negative or positive, can enter the subconscious mind without the aid of the principle of autosuggestion.” Napoleon Hill

It’s been said that we are what we think about all day long. If we focus on lack, we attract scarcity. When we concentrate on the good, we magnify what’s wonderful and attract more of that. Somewhere between, we find balance.

However, life is not about being “Happy, happy, joy, joy” all the time writes Greg Flahive. Life is balance. There’s happiness and sorrow. Joy and pain. Success and failure. You don’t have to bury your pain in false cheerfulness. Feel what you’re feeling and realize that “This too shall pass.” Good follows bad. Success follows failure. Joy follows pain – and vice versa. You can’t work all the time and have equilibrium. It’s in giving yourself “me-time” that you receive the sense of balance you seek.

“You have a voice in the long-term thoughts that you allow into your subconscious mind” adds Greg Flahive. In other words, your self-talk matters. When good things happen, celebrate them and enjoy the moments as they are happening. In times of difficulty, challenge yourself to find just one good thing – even if it’s just a little thing. You may not be able to get to joy immediately, but the benefit is in the activity itself rewarding.

How To Succeed Through Failure – Secrets Every Successful Person Uses

If you are struggling or want to improve your path to success then you are going to want to stop what you are doing, get a quick snack, and read this article now.

In the next couple of minutes, we’re going to look at some crucial elements to success and how failure can help you be successful faster. You MUST read these steps if you are having trouble being successful in one way or another. First, we are going to talk about how success is achieved through trying. Then, we are going to talk about why you need to fail to turn your life around. Lastly, we are going to finish up by talking how failure can fuel your engagement.

First, lets start by talking about how success is achieved through trying. Everyone wants to be successful but how exactly can you be successful? The answer is to act instantly and try something. The Wright brothers had no motif to start building an airplane, everyone was convinced that it was impossible at that time. What separates the Wright brothers from everyone else is that they actually tried to do something. They failed numerous times and after spending months building failed prototypes, they still tried. You won’t get far in life if you don’t try to do something. If you don’t try, you don’t know what you are capable of. Everyone has a hidden talent that they don’t know about and if you don’t act, you will never find out what it is. Also, you don’t develop the necessary skills needed for success if you don’t try anything. Imagine a person who lived so cautiously that he only developed a few skill sets. An example would be a 40 year old car junk-yard salesman who only knew about car maintenance and how to sell broken down cars. Would you expect him to find a different job or be successful in something other than selling damaged cars?

The second thing we are going to talk about why you need to fail. An example of failure is in Thomas Edison’s success story. His teachers told him that he was “too stupid to learn anything”. He eventually pursued his dream and after developing 1,000 light bulbs, he created one that worked. He gained experience after each and every single light bulb and eventually created a working light bulb. Failure is needed to gain experience. Every millionaire has had embarrassing mistakes that they learned from. If you don’t ever fail, you wont know what you could do to improve something. These horrible experiences can be learned from and applied to any part of your life so that the same outcome will not occur. Don’t ever forget that failure has the potential of improving your mindset and yourself as a person.

The last thing we are going to talk about is how failure can fuel your engagement. Success is often described as ‘survival of the fittest’ and this is 100% true. Life beats everyone down eventually and the ones that get up succeed. But a lot of people don’t get up, they usually try to do something but don’t give their full effort. Every successful person has engagement that is fueled by failure. Most people are determined to succeed, but they stop as soon as an obstacle appears. This ultimate obstacle is ‘failure’. This is what separates successful people and normal people. Once a normal person fails, they stop everything and don’t ever continue that path. But once a normal person goes around failure and learns from it, they become more determined and eventually successful. Remember that all successful people are miners; they start off their path to success by gathering ‘failure ore’ which contain rich experiences. They eventually mine down the ore and gather the rich experiences to convert them to wisdom. After this process is complete, they can move forward with a fully engaged life.

These are the crucial elements to success. First, act instantly or try doing something. Second, you need to fail at one point or another. And finally, you need to fuel your engagement with failure (or be a miner).

Establish a powerful mindset and promote positive thinking for success. Make your friends and family know your success story. No gimmicks, real tips that anyone can use. [http://www.creategatewaytosuccess.com/]Click Here

Article By Greg Flahive: “Keep Your Mind Open to Positive Change”

“Your life is filled with many possibilities – perhaps a lot more than you think,” says Greg Flahive.

In any single day, you make hundreds if not thousands of small decisions that influence the direction of your life.

This includes anything from what you choose to eat for lunch, to how you choose to speak to others, to what you choose to do on your own free time.

“We get so used to what is familiar, and thus we miss out on all the opportunities for positive change that pass us by constantly.” quotes Gregory Flahive.

When you step back in any given moment, you’ll often discover that you have a lot more choice than you first realized.

But if you want to find more opportunities for positive change, then you have to keep an open mind.

Greg Flahive says that if your mind can’t play with the possibility of your life taking a new direction, then you’re not going to be prepared to take advantage of these opportunities when they arise.

Everyone’s life is filled with opportunities, but not everyone sees them.

Let me ask you a few questions:

– How often do you find new opportunities in your day?

– How often do you act on these new opportunities when you find them?

– How often do you pass up on these opportunities?

The big difference between happy and successful people and those who aren’t is how we respond to the opportunities that pass us by on a daily basis. Greg Flahive knows that you must follow up daily on opportunities.

If you want to change your life for the better, keep your mind open and aware of just how much power and choice you have.

Pay attention. Be open-minded. Take action when you see opportunity.

This is a very important attitude and perspective to create in yourself. It takes time and practice, but anyone can learn how to do it. -Gregory Flahive
