The very act of resting is the hardest and most courageous act he can perform."

Keep "Doing": Empowerment to Maintain Certain Societal Virtues

By Jennifer N Daniels 

There is always something to fight for in our society, whether social, political, or environmental. Those of us that remain in the fight for a better society sometimes become weary. ("...let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart" Galatians 6:9 (RSV)). Sometimes it also seems that we are the only ones in the battle for good. On the contrary, there is a theory that may help; stemming from more obvious societal values, we glean hope!
In efforts to "reconcile our social world", John Rawls, political philosopher at Harvard University has reminded us of some necessary [political] virtues that can provide us initial encouragement.
We know that our fragmented society has always needed cooperation. And Rawls asserts that "fairness and tolerance and a willingness to meet others halfway" are the things that lend us to greater cooperation. What we are now empowered to do, in every corner of our lives, is actively pursue cooperation. And here is the reason to maintain an active pursuit: there are residual benefits that foot soldiers still in the fight may not see for ourselves and those surrounding us.
I am sure we can all think of other societal concepts that stress these precepts. What would our world look like if we all aspired to do these very things in our daily life? What type of society would we have if no one had this frame of mind?
Light at the Middle
If "a sufficient number" of us could find ourselves in a loving position like this, Rawls assures this 'hypothetical society' that "even if numerous citizens lapse on occasion," and become weary in well-doing, we can still maintain a cooperative healthy society and much more as it relates to a "realistic utopia". And this is because we pushed the persistence in the first place. Therefore, if we begin to push ourselves more to maintain purity, we can then take concessions for the times we are weak ourselves.
If you can picture each of us practicing these values -fairness, tolerance, and willingness to meet half-way -- we can significantly shape our societies foundation, one pillar at a time. We each become the basis and basic structure of our society, the face of modern times. Moreover, as we build the society up to the utopia that we have defined and hoped for in the back of our minds, we simultaneously engender a support system for ourselves when we are weak.
Always a Current
Now is the time, if ever before, to shape our nation and society as a whole, by principles that are essential to our foundation. We can sing "Kumbaya" for we have other principalities fighting for influence; but if we can finally come to a point in which many of our sectors stop discussing unity and begin to act on it, we will renew our strength. (There are many divisions in society that we could discuss, but I am sure you can think of some groups of your own.) Moreover, with faith in our hands, we will directly and indirectly hasten closer toward a "realistic utopia".
Although there is always a current pushing against our attempts at cooperation, now is the time. Now is the time for a movement, as the political tides of the United States are applying more pressure on the truth, while pushing its very essence out of consideration. Now is the time as we find increasing numbers of people turning to religion and relinquishing spirituality. Now is the time as we soldiers begin to lose heart while losing contact with others in the fight for what is 'well'. THIS is an important time! Do not faint! Understand your mutual relationship between yourself and your community and be empowered to value your action!

Is There An Easy Way To Manifest Anything?

By Trevor Johnson


If you're a follower of the law of attraction, you'll know that movies like The Secret make out that you can manifest near enough anything you want just by getting into the right vibration. But is that true? And, if it is, how on earth do you put it into practice? Here are some ideas for an easy way to manifest anything you want.
1. Have a clear idea of the end result
This is probably the most important step in the whole manifestation process.
If your idea of what you want is foggy or otherwise unclear, you're putting blocks in the way of the manifestation process. Maybe not insurmountable blocks (attraction is a really strong force) but definitely ones that will impede your path.
So spend a bit of time getting what you want to manifest crystal clear in your mind. Then hone the idea further over the following days. And revisit it in a week or two just to make sure that what you thought you wanted is indeed what you want.
Because quite a lot of the time our ideas shift over time but we're still headed for the old destination through force of habit.
2. Keep your focus
Not constantly, obviously, because there are countless other things going on in your life. But definitely don't let whatever it is you're trying to manifest fade from view.
An easy way to do this is to set up triggers or reminders to keep your focus on track.
These don't have to be complicated - if you've got a reminder system on your cell phone, all you need to do is set up a reminder each week (or day or whatever) and the device will bleep at you. Even if you just press the confirm button, that will be enough to send the trigger through to your subconscious mind because you've got to be conscious at some level about whatever you've just confirmed.
Other easy reminders are computer screen savers - and the one you can set on your mobile phone if you've got a friendly teenager at hand to show you how to do that. Plus printouts, Post It notes and anything else you can use to prompt your mind to keep on track until your manifestation process is complete.
3. Minimize distractions
You know the feeling on this - something else comes along and takes up most of your spare time, to the exclusion of the things you'd really like to be working on. And the procrastination part of you goes along with this and helps you focus on the distractions rather than follow the course you originally planned.
The field of human endevor is littered with this kind of event.

Rise From Failure!

by Budi Martanto

you have experienced failure?

Sure! Every person must have failed to SUCCESS! Unless you who do not want to be successful!

Everyone must have experienced periods of struggle towards SUCCESS. To achieve success, there is always the price that must be paid!
So, what price success?
PRICE OF SUCCESS large or small depending on risk. The greater the risk, the greater the level of success. And the biggest risk here is a Failure!
Failure is a word that is not pleasant to hear, and no one else in this world who want or want to experience failure.
Successful people think, that failure is temporary, not permanent.
Make your failures as part of the circuit CHAPTER BOOK YOUR LIFE. Failure is not your life cover. Unless you give up too early!
Nah! If you have experienced failure, no matter how big your keggalan level. Do you give up. Take a POSITIVE ATTITUDE! Learn from failures, evaluate and do the actions to YOUR SUCCESS! You have to STAND UP AND BE A WINNER in life!

Hopefully helpful!

Law of Attraction - The Law of Attraction Must Include the Law of Action

By Charles Prosper

In essence, the Law of Attraction states that whatever you habitually focus on you tend to attract automatically into you life. This law is very appealing to most people because of its apparent promise of effortless manifestation of the things that we want in our lives. Hey, if we really want something, that means we are focusing on it, and since we are focusing on it, therefore it is being attracted into our lives. Right? Well, there is a little more to it than that. If it were as easy as that then everyone who has ever really wanted something would always walk away with their arms loaded down with all of the stuff they could imagine.
How We Stop the Law of Attraction from Working
There are also many things that can and do get in the way of the Law of Attraction. One of those things is doubt and worry; this is the killer for most people. Another thing that stops the Law of Attraction is the refusal to take immediate and positive action to make that which you say you want to come about. You see, the minute that you focus your energy on something, by the laws of Higher Power, that which you have begun to think about begins to move toward you with the intention of becoming reality.
The Law of Attraction is Really the Law of Opportunity
That which you attract is a movement toward you. That which you attract appears in the form of opportunity. The problem is also that many of us do not recognize the first of the manifestation of our desire because we misread the perfect opportunity when it appears, so that in hindsight we say, "I shouldn't have doubted myself and hesitated. I should have taken the risk and should have gone for it." How often do we miss our cues!
The Law of Attraction Can Only Work through the Law of Immediate Action
If fruit falls to the ground after we have prayed for food, we still have to bend over and pick it up to eat it. If the woman of our dreams is sitting next to us on a two-hour plane flight, we still have to begin a conversation and talk to her. If we get a great money-making idea to change our life situation for the better, we still have to take the leap of faith and act on it. The Law of Attraction is not the law of imposition, that is, we are never forced to realized what we have attracted.
The 2 Secrets to Get the Law of Attraction to Always Work for You
It's very simple. I think that we ironically attract opportunities for that which we pray night and day. The problem is do we see the opportunity? And do we act upon it? Put very plainly, the secret of Attraction lies in its last six letters.

Affirm the Will to Win

By Lance Winslow 

Back in my younger days, I was a track star and there were other athletes who were genetically superior, had better builds, and clearly they should have won every race. But they didn't, and there was a great equalizer; Will! That's right, the will to win.
Anyone who has ever competed at the highest levels of competition realizes that you have to commit, you have to endure, and you have to push your limits. You can will your body to perform not only at optimum, but beyond its physical limits. Eventually what you learn is there are no such things as limits, except those limits you set for yourself.
It's easy to be in a competition and become intimidated, and back off. It's easy to get psyched out, or feel the presence of another athlete who is ultra-determined to beat you. The question is how strong are you in your mind? How much strength of character can you muster, to face your competitor, look them in the eyes, and not flinch? Can you bring yourself to know in advance that you will win?
The answer is yes, but it depends upon you, no one else can do this for you, and I am sure even if you hypnotize yourself, and tell yourself you are going to win, you will not be able to beat someone who truly believes in themselves, their abilities, and has committed themselves in their mind. Sometimes, I believe that human sporting competition brings out the best of the species.
Not only the strongest, and most fit, but those who are strong in the mind. Indeed, you'll need to have both, that is to say you will have to be in excellent shape, and learn the skills required to compete at the upper levels in whatever sport you choose, but you still must possess to strong will, and strength of character if you are going to be victorious time and time again. You must affirm your destiny.
Now then, it's a lot easier to watch someone else compete then actually have to go through the process yourself. Most of the top athletes make it look so easy, when they've had to endure so much to get to that upper-level. Some of them have beaten their bodies into oblivion, and got up, time and time again, and persevered through the pain and agony of defeat along the way. Still, they affirmed to never give up.
Sometimes, I wish that we could see strength of character and will in others, yes sometimes you can feel it, sense it, but wouldn't it be nice if they had a certain aura or glow around them based on their level of will and intensity, showing the strength of their affirmations coming in to fruition. Of course, it takes one to know one, and if you develop that level of strength inside, you will easily recognize it and others. Indeed, I hope you will please consider all these philosophical thoughts on sports competition and think on it. I want you to win, affirm it, be that winner.

How Do Affirmations Work?

By Nathaniel Webb

Affirmations are powerful tools in the hands of a skilled spiritual worker. But they are also tools that are so easy to use, that they can be used by everyone. But how do they work, actually? To understand how do affirmations work, you need to learn a bit about so called negative thinking patterns.
A negative thinking pattern, is a habit, that shapes our life. For example, your subconscious mind might store a memory of a lesson given to you by your father. This lesson might be quite simple, let's say that your father told you, that money are earned through hard work, and without hard work, you can't make a lot of money. And that even with hard work, the amount of money you make is small. Because your father is an authority to you, this lesson has been stored in your mind, recorded as negative thinking pattern. It's a pattern that shapes your life. Because your subconscious beliefs in things your father told you, you focus on hard work, and you make a little money. This leads to financial problems.
Negative patterns can be of various ways: they can be related to money, relationship, things like that. They can influence the way you make money, form relationship, work and relax. They can be created by lessons from family members, negative experiences (for example, during a first date), books you read, and movies you watch.
Now, affirmations are tools, that can be used to reprogram your mind. Let's say that you store this memory, this lesson from your father, that money requires hard work to be earned. In this case, you need to start your affirmation, for example:
I, Your Name, make money easy, and with pleasure.
This affirmation will reprogram your negative thinking pattern. You can write it, listen to it recorded and played in your iPod, speak it aloud in the morning and in the evening, for a month at least. With time, the affirmation is beginning to reprogram your previous pattern. With affirmations, you can reprogram almost everything, every negative aspect of your life. It requires time, and skills, as affirmations need to be very positive, but it's one of the basic, yet very effective tools of spiritual development, and inner growth.
There's nothing else that you need to know about how do affirmations work. You need to recognize, that they can reprogram your mind, the ways you behave, the ways you live, and the ways you perceive the world, so you can live a great, and happy life.

Five Tips To Reaching Your Goals

By Jonel Fernando

Do you have a dream that you want to reach? Do you want to be something or someone in the future? Is there something you want to have? Everyone has a dream. When you want to get something, that is a wish. When you wish for something, that is a dream. When you want to make your wishes and dreams come true then that is a goal. In this article, I'm giving five important tips to keep in mind in order to reach your goals.
The Backstory
My daughter once borrowed his uncle's camera phone to take a good picture of her cat. I guess to take a good picture of the cat's face, she grabbed the cat and tried to snap a picture of its face. Obviously, doing so made the cat uncomfortable and the cat kept struggling so my daughter can't take the picture she wanted. Then, giving up on the idea of grabbing the cat, she started following the cat. The cat, obviously scared and upset about all the grabbing, tried to get away from her whenever she went closer to take a picture. My daughter, determined to get that "perfect" picture, followed the cat relentlessly until it seemed to have gotten tired of running away and just stopped to rest. Then, my daughter got her picture and it was the most beautiful picture of a cat that her mother has ever seen. Don't ask me where the picture is though, because I don't have it. It's in his uncle's memory card buried somewhere, assuming that it wasn't deleted. I'll ask them to find it though and I'll post it here once I find it.
1. Setting Goals
Have you ever heard of the S.M.A.R.T. goals? it stands for: Specific-Measurable-Attainable-Realistic-Timely/Tangible. Accept that sometimes, it is better to just relax and wait until your head is clear. Any adult would know that a cat would struggle like that but my daughter, being 5 years old that time, either vaguely had an idea or didn't consider how the cat would react. I'm not saying that my daughter should wait until she grows up to take the cat's picture. What I'm trying to say is that one should also consider the effects of an action. Life is about cause and effect. Nothing is truly ever random. Things happen because something made it happen. In order to reach our goals, we must understand the factors that are in the way of reaching that goal.
2. Patience
The picture aside, I think the moral lesson to be learned from my daughter's story is that there are things that can only be achieved with patience. Just like when she tried to grab the cat, it struggled and fought back, and my daughter never got her picture. Sometimes we forget the fact that there are things that can't be forced to happen. We try so hard and exert so much effort in order to get things done as fast as we can but the harder you try, the more you make it harder for yourself. Instead of trying to rush and force things to happen, maybe it's best to just let go and make things take their natural course. Just like when my daughter learned that forcing the cat to face the shutter caused it to struggle more, sometimes we just have to learn that rushing things and forcing things to happen can make matters worse.
3. Perseverance
So the cat got scared and tried to get away, making it harder for my daughter to take the picture she wanted. My daughter could have just given up, but she didn't. She kept following the cat to the point of what one can call "stalking" until she got her shot. It's called "perseverance", or sometimes "persistence". There are many things in life that can be achieved only if we know how to persevere. With all the technology making things faster and easier, we have seemed to forget the value of hard work. There's always an easy way, and there's always the long and hard way. I'm not against the easy way and I admit to being lazy, but there are things that we know we can achieve if we only keep working hard for it. Achieving small and easy things can be a lot easier most of the time so we tend to settle for less when we could have just given a little more time and effort to get something really great. Persevere. Life isn't always easy, but persistence and hard work always has its rewards.
4. Equivalent Exchange
In order to gain something, one must give up something of the same value. I admit to pulling this out of Fullmetal Alchemist, an anime show that I really loved. But just because it was from a cartoon does not make it wrong or childish. My daughter wanted her perfect cat picture. So, she gave a lot of patience and effort in order to get it and she did get it. The value of something is sometimes associated with the time and effort put into it. Sure you could have easily done it yourself when you saw the mechanic simply turn a bolt, but it's the knowledge of which bolt to turn that makes him special and charge what he charges you. Everyone could turn a bolt, but identifying the cause of the problem and knowing which bolt to turn took the mechanic some time and effort to learn. That is what you are paying for. Going back, in order for you to reach a great goal or dream, you must endure and keep working. Patience and Perseverance remember?
5. Stay Focused
My daughter wanted her picture. She ignored her playmates and her mother for more than an hour just stalking the cat until she got her picture. If she stopped following the cat, she might have lost it. If she let herself be drawn in by her playmates, then she would have forgotten about taking the picture. If you have a dream or goal you have to reach, you must focus on it and do not let yourself be distracted with other things. Allowing yourself to be distracted can cause you a delay in reaching your goals or worse, make you forget about your goals. Even if you have patience and you work hard, it would all feel like it was for nothing if you lose sight of your goal. In reverse, if you know your goal, you can keep working hard and you can be patient because you know that everything is leading you closer to your goal.

The Law Of Attraction, Motivation and Action

By Teddy Dutch Danfield

I have read a ton of personal development and goal setting books. Many authors tell you that you need to start with a plan before you begin. The other common advice is to know how you want you business to look 20 years from now.
All Thinking and No Doing
The problem many others and I have is people spend all their time planning with very little time doing.
I started this year off differently than in other years. Thanks to Bob Proctor and
his recordings who opened me up to The Law of Attraction and not having a specific plan.
The Law of Attraction and the Difference It Makes
The Law of Attraction states that you have to take action to see different results. The action will lead to motivation to keep acting. I started a couple different websites or blogs for that matter with a simple plan: Let's see where this will lead.
Nothing more than just starting to take action and keep motivated by the action. It has been interesting year so far. I have accomplished several items I did not know about to being the year. Books and circumstances seemed to open up in my favor.
See What You Can Do
You need to open yourself up and to see what you can do. This is what I did with my ideas. Now some of my ideas did not work out. How did I figure out they did not work? I took action on my ideas. Here's the funny part. Even though my initial idea did not work out. The action on my idea led to something that did work out.
In fact, you are reading this article because I decided to act and stay motivated while seeing where my actions would lead.
My journey is just beginning and I look forward to seeing how the Law of Attraction will be working as I take more and more action on my ideas.
The key to my plan is to take action and see what opportunities come into my life. You can do the same. The mistake so many people make is the old paralysis by analysis. Quit questioning whether or not a plan will work. The one thing I can guarantee is no action will lead to no accomplishment.
Today start with my simple plan: Let's see where this leads. The action will open more doors than just planning.

How to Turn Your Commitment for Change Into Action

By Rosemary Lichtman, Ph.D

In the wake of the floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and radiation leaks this spring, we're struck by the realization that changes in the Earth present in many ways. At times they're gradual or sudden and violent. They can come from the forces of nature or the actions of human beings. They can be unexpected and out of our control or planned and anticipated. In any case, the havoc they wreak can affect millions. The effects of the natural disasters this spring alone have impacted the world economy a
nd may continue to do so for months to come.
How do we come to terms with the tremendous power of Mother Nature? Given the current discussions about whether or not there actually is global warming - and, if so, whether it's due to man or the earth itself - you may be left feeling confused. Perhaps we can acknowledge the power of nature and still recognize our role in the process.
And in your personal life, you can use this same outlook. Focus on what you can control in your life and what you can accomplish, not what you can't. In the heat of the moment, enthusiasm about making a change - protecting the earth, creating stronger family relationships, making the world a better place, loosing those stubborn last pounds - can be great. But what happens the next day? You know that inspiration is not enough - you need to implement your decision in a definite way. You can build on it by shifting your routine, following through and transforming yourself. Here are 8 tips on how to go about it:
1. Acknowledge your ability to change. Recognize that there may be limits to what you can accomplish but that you can take it one day at a time. Give yourself permission to begin the process by setting a realistic goal, without expecting perfection in your results.
2. Write out specific goals for yourself and break them down into smaller, more manageable short-term objectives. Set up a timeline for tackling each task. The more you formulate your plans and establish concrete steps, the greater the likelihood that you will follow up on them.
3. List your personal resources and inner strengths. This process will help you attain your objectives and eventually achieve your goals. Draw on them as you have when you've made other changes in your life.
4. Make a public commitment to the change you are pursuing. This will help you take yourself and your decision seriously. And it will increase your motivation to continue the process even when you face barriers along the way.
5. Maintain your energy by rewarding yourself for each objective you accomplish. Use an intermittent reinforcer - lunch with a friend, an evening at the movies - even as you keep your focus on the future goals you are striving toward. Positive reinforcement will keep you motivated to continue your process of change.
6. Draw on the support of family and friends. They want you to succeed and will give you the help you need. Join with others who have similar goals - when you enlist someone to share your journey it makes the whole process more fun.
7. Don't beat yourself up when you backslide. Change can be overwhelming and you need to be patient with yourself. Refine your strategies as you learn from your mistakes. Have a Plan B ready and continue to improvise as you discover what works best for you.
8. Enjoy the satisfaction and feelings of power that come from making real changes. You've earned it! And you can use your new skill set to achieve success in other areas of your life as well. If you're a Sandwiched Boomer, resolve to use these tips to take better care of yourself.
Remember, even if you can't influence the circumstances, you can control how you handle them. Search for solutions by clearly defining your goals and aspirations. Letting go of negative thoughts and unrealistic expectations free you up to make something positive come out of a negative situation.
