The $1,000,000 SECRET

Have you ever wondered exactly what it is that keeps you from being a Success ? You may be able to pinpoint the " what " quite accurately: Money, family ability, health, connections, education---or just plain luck. Yet if you examine your present situation a little closer( and a lot more Objectively), it may be none of these things. take money.

Not everyone who has it is successful. An heir to a retail fortune is a live, walking example. You probably know his name. You may even shop in one of his inherited stores. The newspapers are always writing him up,especially when he ventures into some new " enterprise ". Six months later, there's another write-up. Usually, it describes how his new venture flunked and why he's looking to sell it for " peanuts "
---at a loss.

All told, he' s probably gone through a dozen or so deals. All ended the same way--
Failure. Luckily for him, he always has the family fortune to fall back upon. of course, his unsuccessful financial forays have depleted his reserves. No sense worrying about him--he' s got plenty left. But a lot less then what he started with.

In this individual' s case, "money" doesn' t seem to be the "what" that stands in hos way to success. You may be thinking, " give me even half his funds and I' ll show you what I can do !"
Perhaps, Yet, even without personally knowing your particular circumstances or background, I suspect that at one time or another, you may have had enough cash
(not millions, mind you) to reach your goal--or accomplish your purpose. But you were not successful.

But let' s skip over the "money" angle of success. Let' s go directly to what is for many "non-successes" a favorite excuse: luck, fortune, chance, the "breaks".
When you get the breaks, you win, Right ? Then why is it that so many losers never seem to get lucky ? Fate never seems to be on their side. For them, luck always fades at the finish line. When the chips are down, so is their luck.
I' ll grant you that luck ( or whatever name you give to that elusive lady ) can play a major role in our lives. Certainly, you can not attribute everything to luck.
but lets assume that you are lucky and you win a million dollars in the sweepstakes.
Great ! Now you' ve got all that crisp green ( less taxes ) in the bank.

However, on your way to make your whopping deposit, don't forget for one single instant that you won for one very good reason: You bought a ticket !
Luck stroked you alright. But you helped ! You made winning possible by getting your name in the drawing.
Now you may be getting my point. The "what" that you really believe stands blocking the path of your march to the top is not the real " what " at all. Then what Is ?
I believe that its a "what" you know quite well. You face it daily, morning noon and night. Yet, you refuse to recognize it.
The ever -present key "what" stands in the way of any "break" that comes along.
This "what" prevents your taking full advantage of opportunities. It shackles your feet so you can' t move forward toward the success you deserve.
Better yet. it is a "what" that gives you a convenient excuse for failing. It is a dismal crutch for not making it. It is a "what" which you try to hide from everyone--
especially yourself.
Have you guessed what this all-too-real "what" is ? If you havn' t, I' ll
tell you. It is FEAR Raw, naked Fear. Explainable or unexplainable. But fear, plain and simple. It takes many forms,wears countless disguises. It may be failure-fear or winning fear. It may be fear of heights, fear of water, or fear of everything. It may be fear of just one person or lots of people.
Fear it is. Fear to be reckoned with.
If you' re selling, its the fear the prospect won' t buy. If you' re salaried, its the fear of being fired. If you' re at a meeting, its the fear of not being able to properly present your ideas. If you' re seeking a loan, its the fear of hearing a "NO".

Be frank. How often has fear been your downfall ? Its hard to fight fear. Often,
its roots go back to childhood. And its causes are quite logical. but think of all the things you could have done or can do right now if you were not afraid.
Let me repeat: what would you do at once if you were not afraid ? Would you ask your tough boss for a raise ? Or would you quit your job and get started in that business you' ve been dreaming about ? Would you be able to look your roughest customer in the eye without blinking and make him say "uncle" ?
Or accept an assignment you might ordinarily refuse because you were "afraid " ?
Yes, what would you do if you were not afraid ? Ask yourself that question the very next time a "break" comes along. Then do it. Have the courage--the guts, if you will--to do it. Even if you are afraid. Then watch a miracle happen. When you do something once, the next time becomes easier. You break fear' s cold icy grip.
You expose fear for what it is: a state of mind which you can Conquer.

Suppose you are still afraid. no matter. Proceed. Force yourself to do the thing you fear. You' ll be proud of yourself afterwards. And you' ll realize once and for all that nothing ---absolutely nothing is impossible. Even success.

Definition of FEAR: Anticipation of PAIN, No
Pain, No Gain. Pain builds Character, Pain means Growth, If you're not growing, you' re
Dying, I see dead people, quick, run for it.

Inner Guide Empowerment

Sometimes we have an experience
that we don’t understand,
but if we look deeply,
or wait long enough,
a reason for that experience
will usually reveal itself.

All the events in our lives
lead to other events,
and all that we have manifested
in this present moment is the result
of past events and experiences.

We cannot easily tease apart
the many threads
that have been woven together
to create our current reality.

Experiences that don’t make sense,
as well as any that we regret,
are just as responsible
for the good things in our lives
as the experiences we do understand
or label as "good."

This is especially important to remember
at times when we feel directionless
or unsure of what to do.

It is often at times like these
that we take a job or move to a place
without really knowing
if it’s the right thing to do.

We may ultimately end up
leaving the job or the place,
but often during that time
we will have met someone
who becomes an important friend,
or we may have an experience
that changes us in a profound way.

When all the pieces of our life
don’t quite make sense,
we can remember that there may be
some hidden gem of a reason
that we are where we are having
the experiences we are having.

It’s fun to look back on past experiences
with an eye to uncovering those gems...

Remembering these past experiences
can restore our faith in the present.

Life is full of buried treasures.

Chances are, you’re sitting on some right now. — with Johanna M. Kuyvenhoven

Inner Guide Empowerment

Winning an argument
is never the goal
of a true spiritual master.

Winning someone's heart is.

The setting side of one's integrity
is not required to win someone's heart,
but the setting aside of one's ego may be.

It is possible to make a point
without making an enemy.

It is possible to be right
without being righteous.

Debating does not have to be debasing.

If there is someone with whom
you are disagreeing this day,
would it not be wonderful of you
to disagree without being disagreeable?
