Discover Hope!

       At this time of year feelings run high on hopes of the coming New Year.  On the flip side many people become depressed and are filled with despair.  Even in these trying economic times there is hope for a successful future.  It is true that the typical ways of creating income has changed dramatically and the thought of working for a company until retirement has all but evaporated.  In my chosen field of electronics, I had learned quickly the need to adapt, change and be able to focus on more profitable areas to maximize my income.  I no longer work with electronics per-say but am now a PLC programmer, industrial electrician and service technician.  This transformation has come about with 20+ years of experience in a field that I never even thought of pursuing.  As I had mentioned in earlier blogs, I have been motivated several times to make abrupt changes in my life to properly provide for my family.  I never lost sight of my goals and always had hope on my side.  Many people on the other hand feel so beaten down that they lose hope and then give up on themselves, their dreams and their future.  At this time I would like to give you a list of 21 suggestions for SUCCESS by H. Jackson Brown, JR.21 Suggestions For SUCCESS

       Looking at the above list, you can see some of the things I have been talking about in my past blogs.  By applying some simple philosophies, we can create or manifest success in our lives.  Take #1 to instance, if we subject ourselves to constant negatives from others we will surely end up in misery.  This starts with teaming up with the right person or people.  This helps us achieve #4 of becoming the most positive person we know.  #8 is persistence, don't give up!  So many people are so close to making it and don't realise it.  To illustrate this I have a little story for you.  There was a man who was mining for gold.  He worked day and night mining and did make some money with what he had found.  He worked his mine for several years at which time it seemed to have run out.  So to cut his loses he sold the mine and all the equipment to someone else.  Now the man that bought the mine didn't know the first thing about mining or geological layouts but was determined to show a profit on this deal.  He hired a team of experts who analysed the land and discovered that there is a main vain of gold running a mere few inches from where the previous owner stopped digging.  This find netted the new owner a small fortune.  If only the previous owner had not given up and went a few more inches, he could have found his fortune.

       I want to share with you one more tool that I've been using to help me in my success.  Subliminal MP3s has over 150 different subliminal audio's that work better then hypnosis.  I have personally used many of these and highly recommend using them for positive affirmation.  Access hundreds of self-help Subliminal mp3's.
