Ignite Your Soul

By Psychic Verbena 

Achieve Spiritual Evolution

A soul which is not yet ignited is like the pilot light on an old-fashioned gas stove or heater, always lit, shining in a tiny space in the dark, ready to be drawn out so that it can transform and illuminate your life.
Is your soul already ignited? Or is it still burning quietly in some hidden corner of your being, waiting for you to open the door and invite it to shed its light into and all around you?
If you’re a part of the latter group, perhaps you’re ready to embark on a quest to ignite your soul. Beginning steps can include spiritual books, classes, lectures and workshops, studying with a guru or shaman, or even joining an ashram. However, the rational mind is often more of a hindrance than a help in soul work. All of these activities are like a map, and they can show you where to look for the treasure of the soul, but you still have to do the digging yourself.
But when all is said and done, the only way to ignite your soul is to forge your own path into that quiet, hidden place in your psyche where it lives, then nourish the flame, and when it bursts into brilliance, keep it nourished so that it continues to illuminate your life.
Igniting your soul isn’t a process that you can analyze or organize into success. It’s not about making it happen. Instead, it is an unfolding evolutionary journey undertaken for no reason other than that you want to live your sacred purpose, to become all that you can be, body, mind, emotions, spirit…  and soul.
Here are ways to travel into your inner space and then ignite and sustain your soul connection, with links to articles which explain each technique in more depth.
Finding the Dwelling Place
First, it helps to clear a path to your soul light, and to learn how to be aware of the soul’s presence.

Deep Breathing. Breath fills you with pure life force, and focusing on and counting each breath helps clear your mind.
Meditation and Prayer. Any form of meditation, whether it’s moving, clearing your mind or guided visualization, takes you out of everyday reality. So does selfless prayer.
Silence. It’s in silence that you can hear and feel your soul’s presence most powerfully, and it’s one of the best ways to detach from life’s distractions.
Mindfulness. If you approach each moment of your life with full, focused attention, and without judgment, you are literally holding the door open 24/7 for your soul to emerge.
The Spark: Transcendent Experiences
Once you’ve prepared the way, and sometimes even when you haven’t, a transcendent experience can wake you up so completely that igniting your soul happens effortlessly.
Beauty. Your idea of beauty might be the perfect jump shot, or a magnificent vista atop a mountain, or a pile of sleeping kittens, or the Mona Lisa. When you encounter it you’re lifted out of the humdrum, filled with elation and awe, and wide open to spirit.
Sacred Places. Whether you’re sitting under a special tree, in a hushed church full of prayers, or in an ancient circle of standing stones, places of power transform you and open inner doors.
Crisis and Miracles. Most of us don’t make room for miracles until we’re up against a wall, completely unable to help ourselves. Then we finally turn to a higher power for help, and the explosion of wonder when the miracle arrives lays a direct path to your soul.
Love. Moments of true, deep, selfless, unconditional love are the ultimate miracle, the highway leading directly to a meeting with your soul.
Keeping It Burning
Once you’ve opened the channels and connected with your soul, here are the easiest ways to keep that connection alive, active and full of light and energy.
Be Happy. The soul finds joy irresistible, and, since being happy is almost a lost art these days, this deserves your full attention.
Living in Awe. The best way to feed your soul, and live joyfully, is go out of your way to find goosebump moments, to regularly  experience things that lift your heart, that make you catch your breath, smile, and say “Oh, wow!”
Harmony. Once your soul connection is ignited, it usually requires only a little regular attention, because it naturally feeds itself.
The conscious presence of your soul makes open, optimistic participation in life easy and natural, so that trust, non-attachment and bone-deep happiness are self-sustaining and effortles

Psychic Workout: Use Candles to Attract Love

By Psychic Marin 
Every time we blow out a candle on our birthday cake and make a wish, we’re performing a simple act of candle magic. To open yourself up to new relationships, consider creating a candle ritual to attract new love. In this way, you’ll connect with the right partner for you. Try not to focus on someone specific, instead this is more about attracting someone that best fits you. This kind of candle ritual can also help you establish or enhance your self-confidence which is a key foundation for any new relationship. Stepping out of self-doubt and low confidence can open yourself up to new possibilities in love and relationships.

So get ready to build your confidence, and at the same time, attract that twin flame. Start by selecting two red candles. (For this ritual, I suggest the tall, glass-enclosed candles, often found in grocery stores in the Latin food section.) Once you have purchased your ritual candle, it should be anointed before burning. For this particular exercise, I suggest rose oil for love-drawing. Before lighting the candles, anoint the wick with rose oil. The purpose of anointing a candle is to establish a psychic link between the candle and you. Handling the candle during the anointing process creates a charge with our personal energy and programs the desires of your ritual into the candles.
Next, follow this four-step process:
1. Identify the Candles
One of these candles will represent you, and the other will represent your desired partner. Take a moment to reflect on your personal strengths and the fabulous qualities you will offer in a relationship. Are you fun-loving? Financially stable? Beautiful? A great kisser? Write it down on a piece of paper. Allow for time to dwell in the confidence you begin to feel when identifying your assets.
On a second piece of paper, identify and list the qualities you seek in an imaginary partner. What would you create if you could sculpt the dream partner in a relationship? An athletic physique? Good listener? Tall? Passionate lover?
2. The Magnetism Begins
Select an altar, table-top, or dresser, and set the candles at the two farthest ends of the table, one to the left, and the other to the far right, where they will remain for approximately a month. Under one candle, place the list identifying your qualities, and underneath the other candle, place the list of the desired partner’s. Light the candles, and allow them to burn while concentrating on your desires. Visualize the union between you and your partner. Allow time for the candles to briefly burn while stating your prayers, then extinguish the candles, leaving them on the table.
3. The Attraction Grows
On the following day, begin the exercise by taking one candle in your left hand, and the other in your right hand, slightly move the candles closer together, feeling the magnetism as you inch them closer. Light the candles and repeat the visualization exercises and focus on the desired outcome, attracting the partner who you identified on paper. When finished, remember to extinguish the candle.
4. The Two Become One
After repeating this exercise for several days, or possibly a month, depending on the distance between the candles and how slow you move them, the two candles will have eventually been moved together, where they are touching, creating the appearance of a twin flame. As you walk out your front door each morning, create that feeling of attraction as you remember the list of personal qualities you created and are ready to offer in a relationship. Walk confidently each day, knowing that love is just around the corner.
The often troublesome pitfall of candle magic is not doing it each day. It is unbelievable what excuses we can come up with, or doubts we can allow to come into our thoughts that interfere with something as simple as lighting a candle each morning. Keep in mind that your focus and devotion to this small task will be rewarded with magnificent results

Achieve Your Goals...

Karim Hajee
Would you like to achieve all your goals?
Would you like to be the person who gets what they want, enjoys
life, has time to spare and is completely fulfilled? Most of us would
love to have that kind of life - but are you committed and dedicated to
making it happen? If not - then nothing will ever get better.

Recently I had a chance to catch up with some people I hadn't seen
in a really long time. Many of them had achieved what they set out to
do when we were teenagers.
But there were a few who were still struggling - you know -
they were trying to figure things out but couldn't understand why
things hadn't improved for them. I explained to them that things don't
get better - you have to make them better.

Nothing changes for you overnight except the passage of time -
which has it's own side effects.

Creating Change is not just about hoping and praying, it's about
doing and being committed. So read on and you'll learn some valuable
tips on how to create changes in your life and start living the life
you want.

If you want to improve your life, if you want to achieve your goals
you first need to make a solid commitment to change or improve things.

Don't take this lightly - because your commitment is the foundation
for change and a better life. Too often I hear people say:
"Oh yeah, I'm going to make a commitment - I definitely want to
change - in fact, as of tomorrow I'm going to make a list and get
started."
Then tomorrow comes and nothing changes.
Instead, they get distracted and forget about the so-called
commitment they made.

A week later here's what they'll say:
"You know I meant to get started last week but I just got too busy.
Something came up - I can't remember what - but this week I'm
definitely going to get started."
The week comes and goes and nothing changes.
There were too many things that come up. Hey - everyday there are
things that come up and if you don't stay focused those "things"
will throw you off track and in the end nothing gets done.
Nothing improves because you were too busy being distracted.
Nothing changes because you didn't stick to your commitment to change.

A commitment to improve your life means you are going to do
everything you can to make sure things get better.
It says that you are going to take action and start by focusing
on what you need to do to create the changes you want. If you don't
stick to that commitment you'll only get distracted. If you keep
that commitment at the forefront of your mind - then when you
sense something coming that could distract you - you'll
take charge and make the time to create the change you want.

If you're in debt and you want to get out of it - then make a
commitment - and start by not taking on any more debt. If you want
to be in a relationship - then start by making it a priority to
go out and meet people.
If you want to get a job - then start going out and doing
everything you can to get a job and keep going until you get things
done.

Making that commitment sends the message to your subconscious mind
- it tells the subconscious that now I'm ready to change and improve
my life so let's get working. 

 Decide What Kind Of Change You Really Want 

Next take a look at where you are and where you want to go.
I often hear from people who want to be millionaires but don't
have a job - there's nothing wrong with that. But in many cases
these people want to be millionaires within 3 months or 6 months.
Sure it's possible. And when I ask them to think of how they can
achieve this goal - here's the most common answer: "I'll win the
lottery." Yes this too is possible. 

But is it likely? What are you going up against? What can you do to
make this a reality besides buy lottery tickets? The answer isn't in
buying more lottery tickets. 
The answer to being a millionaire and making millions of dollars is
inside you - you have the answer - you just have to uncover it.
We all have the ability to have what we want, need and more - if we
allow ourselves to work at our full potential. When you work at your
full potential - your mind, spirit and body are all working together
to make the outcome happen. Your subconscious also gets going because
it needs to keep up with the rest of you and it in turn your
subconscious starts creating new opportunities for you.
By going at your full potential you say to your higher power, your
subconscious mind and the universe - hey - I'm ready to do my part.
But when you say: "I'll just buy more lottery tickets."
You're really saying: "I'm too lazy to bother working."
Why then should your higher power help you? 
I also have people who are making 30-thousand dollars a year who
want to make a million dollars within 6-months.
Yes anything is possible - but you also have to give yourself a
realistic chance.

Look at it this way - you're about to run a marathon - but you've
never trained to run in a marathon, and you've never trained to run
more than a hundred yards.
Now suddenly you want to run 20+ miles - and you expect to win -
but you've never trained. Is it likely? It is possible - but is it
likely? Wouldn't you be better off training, getting in shape,
then start by running a mile, 2 miles, 4 miles,
8 miles until you got to the point where you were running 20+ miles
- before you entered the race.

If you want to be successful - you have to prepare and take things
one step at a time while setting realistic goals that you can build on.
If you want to be a millionaire and you currently don't have a job
- start by getting a job or starting a business.
If you currently make 30-thousand a year and you want to be a
millionaire - how about increasing your yearly income first?
Perhaps aim for making and additional 15-thousand a year doing
something else.

Then increase that, and continue increasing it until you get to a
million.

If you want to get out of debt - then start by paying off a small
amount of the debt - then increase the amount you pay off.

If you want to meet the right person - start by going out, then
getting to know people until you meet the person you think is right
for you.

When you keep your goals realistic and take things one-step at a
time - 2 things happen. First you start building your confidence -
which is crucial to your success. Next you start sending the message
to your subconscious mind.
You start telling your subconscious that you can do this, you say
you are improving and you are ready for change and that you are giving
your subconscious the time that it needs to help you get to where you
want to go. 
What you are doing is creating a success consciousness that is sent
directly to your subconscious. It now starts to pick up your
success belief system - and thus greater change takes place sooner. 



Get Your Mind To Work For You
 This last step is the most important because if you don't keep your
mind focused on what you want to achieve - you'll never get anything
done.

The mind will try to convince you to give up. It will tell you that
there's no need to change, that things are fine just the way they
are, or that you'll get to it tomorrow, next week or next year.
Your mind will tell you that you don't have time right now to do the
things you need to do in order to create the change you want.
It will tell you that it's no use things will never get better.
When the mind does this it's simply deceiving you - it's simply
trying to get you to stop and avoid change. The mind does this
because it doesn't want change. 

It wants things to stay the way they are - it's happy in its
misery. But you're not. 
You want change - except your mind is not letting you change. If
you don't stay focused you'll give in to the mind - and nothing
ever gets better. 



This is crucial to your success - because once you release the past
- you open the floodgates for new and exciting opportunities.
Releasing the past takes a little work - but it will be well
worth the rewards.

Releasing The Past

Are you one of those people who sometimes gets trapped in the past
- you know thinking about things over and over - usually these are
events that happened a long time ago - but you just can't stop thinking
about them?
Do you often try to solve events that took place years ago - hoping
or wishing they could be different? Do you sometimes spend hours or
lengthy periods of time trying to understand why something happened
but just can't find an answer? Or do you find that you're just not
ready to move on with life because of something that happened some
time ago - and you just can't get over it - you keep telling
yourself - just a little more time - but this continues to play in
your mind?

If you answered yes to any of the above - you're not alone. There
are millions of people around the world just like you - people who
just can't seem to let go of the past - and in the process continue
to waste their lives away.
Well, in today's edition I'm going to show you how you can release
the past and start living the life you want - and it's really not
as hard as you think.

Over the past few years we've fielded thousands of calls and emails
from people trying to let go of the past. It seems that they
continually think about what was and the way things were.
They also feel compelled to try and figure out what went wrong -
or how they can resolve things. The most common statement is:
"If only I could go back and fix things." Well you can't - and you
shouldn't want to. Because when you focus on the past you deny
yourself the future.
Read on and I'll explain how you can let go of the past - and start
living the life you want. 



How To Let Go Of The Past
In order to begin moving on and letting go of the past you first
have to take responsibility for what happened. I'm not asking you to
accept the blame - I'm just asking you to accept that you did have
a role in what happened and that what happened did in fact happen.

If you seem stuck over a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend -
accept that the relationship did come to an end and that you did
have a role in how it went and how it ended. Let's face it -
if you weren't there it would have never happened.

Don't try to figure out what you did wrong in the past - instead
focus on what you could do right the next time. Learn from your
past - it's a great teacher.
Look at the mistakes that were made and focus on what you can do to
improve it the next time around. If you lost a job - don't say that
you did nothing wrong. Don't blame everybody else and say -
"they did this to me."
They didn't do anything to you. They may have done something that
had an impact on you - but you also played a role on some level.

Focus on what you can do the next time to keep a job and make a
great impression.
Right about now I get this question: "Yeah, Karim - but they just
called me in one day and told me that I was going to be laid off -
they were cutting back. What role did I play?

How did I make that happen?" You chose to stay at that job. You
chose to get comfortable and not look for another job.
You chose not to improve your skills and strive to do better.
These are acts that you have to take responsibility for.
Understand, I'm not saying accept blame.
Now the next time you get a good job you could strive to be better.
You won't get comfortable. You won't ignore an opportunity to improve
your skills. These are some of the lessons that come from that
experience.

Every past event, pleasant or not - teaches us something which if
we understand can better prepare us for the future.
Don't focus on what went wrong - focus on what you can do right
the next time. The best way to do this is to think about
what you want next and then apply what you learned.

Create Your Future Today
Hey let's face it - the past is in the past.
It's not what is happening now. It doesn't exist today. That
relationship that ended, that job that was lost, the loved one who
passed away - it's all in the past.
Those things and people do not exist today. You exist today -
and your present life exists today. These are the things you need
to focus on.
In order to leave the past in the past - start shifting your focus
to the things that need attention today.

If you lost a job and don't have work - focus on finding a new job.
Remember the lessons learned from the past experience and get out there and start looking for the next thing. 
Take care of what needs to be done today. If you're in debt because
you lost some money in the past - then focus on what needs to be
done now - making some additional money so you can get out of debt.
If a relationship ended - then what do you want now? Another
relationship - then get out there and start meeting new people.
If a loved one passed away - then focus on what you need to do
today - on your own and begin building a new life. 

I'm not trying to be harsh - I just want to show you that once you
shift your focus to the present moment - your mind will automatically
let go of the past. 
There will be times that your mind will drift back into the past -
that's what it knows so that's where it goes. When this happens you
can simply say to yourself - that's in the past - I'm here now and
I'm focusing on my new life now.

You won't stop thinking about the past right away - but as you
continually do this - your mind will begin to adjust.
When you do it in conjunction with some of the things that I just
outlined - you'll start to move forward and actually enjoy
life again.



Some Final Steps
Another thing you can do is change the way you see past events.
Find a positive spin rather than focusing on the negative. You may
say but that's just the way it is - am I not lying to myself if I
try to see it differently? How do you know you're not lying to
yourself by seeing things the way you do right now?

Your current perception may be to view the events of the past in a
negative light - but how do you know that is real? It's just the
way you see it.Change the way you see things - change your perception
and a new reality unfolds. Look at the positive side of things -
everything has happened to put you where you are now.
You are exactly where you need to be - and you got here because of
past events. 
Now begin focusing on this moment - focus on what you want - and
you'll take the next step - to be exactly where you need to be
in the future. 
Learn from the past, then release it - by focusing on the present,
and see the past as a friend - pushing you forward to where you
need to go. 



Discover Your Calling 
At some point in our lives many of us ask that age-old question:
"Why am I here? What am I supposed to be doing that I'm not doing?"
Maybe you haven't asked yourself that question. Maybe you just feel
like you're not getting the most out of life or that it's
become routine - possibly even boring.
The reason why this happens is because you're not following your
passion - or you haven't discovered your calling. 
Each one of us has a separate calling. They may be similar - but
the way we go about it, the benefits we get from it and
ultimately the true nature of that calling is different.
When you are not centered, when you are not following
your calling you end up being restless, agitated, bored and
frustrated. Why is it that some people seem to have such a good time
with life - they're successful, in happy relationships,
comfortable yet not bored? Why? Ask any of them and they'll tell
you - they do what they love - they follow their calling and their
passion. 
If you find that you're just not enjoying life or feel that you're
not getting the most out of life you may not be on the right
track anymore.
You may not be following your calling.
Let me explain something about "following your calling." 
By this I mean following your passion. Of course in order to do
this you first need to know what your passion or your calling is.
This passion or calling can and likely will change at different
points of your life. That is - your calling or
passion today will likely be different than it was 10-years ago.
That's okay - it's actually a good thing. It's a sign of growth -
and growth is good - now you might say:
"Well, how am I supposed to know what my calling is or how do I
know if it's changed?"
I'm about to help you resolve this.
The first step is to understand and accept that you do have a
calling.
That you do have a passion that you can follow. That your passion
and calling will allow you to live a happy fulfilled life. 
Why? 
Because when you follow your passion, your spirit, or your higher
self, or that part of you that is not tied to the ego - is in
control. It is happy and doing what it was meant to do.
When this happens - that higher part of yourself - that part that
we do not scientifically understand but we know exists -
begins to connect with the universe on a deeper level.
When it does this it brings together the people and events necessary
for you to enjoy your life. I know what you're going to say: "Yeah
but Karim, I don't know what my calling is. What am I supposed to do?" 
Don't worry - you're actually half way home. The mere fact that you
understand you have a calling and that you recognize your need to
follow it is an incredibly positive step. What you need to do
next is begin to tap your inner wisdom and
subconscious mind to guide you - so that you discover your calling
and follow your passion. 
How do you do this? 
First start by telling yourself that you do know what you want to
do. Tell yourself that you do know your passion and that you're ready
to follow it.
Right about now I usually get the following comment: "Karim, I just
said I don't know what I want to do - how can I tell myself I do know
what I want to do when I don't know what my calling is?" 



 Beliefs are picked up by the
subconscious mind and manifested in reality. If you believe that
you don't know what you want to do or that you don't know your
calling or that you don't know your passion - then your subconscious
mind will simply create opportunities for you to be more and more
confused - it will create situations for you so that you don't know
what you want. If instead, you say you do know your true calling,
that you've discovered your true calling, that you are on the right
track and you are following your passion - your subconscious will
start creating opportunities for you that are in line with your
calling and passion. Sometimes these opportunities are simple signs
that would lead you to a path that seems to be off the beaten track.
It may even sound like something completely ridiculous at first
thought. 
But as you follow those signs, those opportunities, you'll find
that things fall into place rather easily, you'll start to enjoy
the process and then begin to get excited. This can and will only
happen when you no longer let your ego mind dominate.
When you are no longer doing things to impress other people - but
are doing things that you simply enjoy.

Get Your Mind Working For You 
The next step is to start thinking. Put on your thinking cap and
get your mind moving in a new direction. Write if you want -
think about all the things you like doing - don't worry about
how you're going to make money from them - just start thinking
about all that you like doing. If you had a day off or a week off -
what would you do? Don't say: "nothing" - because you would likely
do what you enjoy.
Start doing those things that you enjoy. 
Why?
Because when you're happy things start to flow naturally. 



Have Some Fun 
When you enjoy doing something - things start to come together for
you.
As you continue doing this you'll find that there are many things
that you enjoy - things that you may have stopped doing for some
unknown reason. 


Life doesn't have to be painful. It doesn't have to be difficult.
Make some time for yourself - you are just as important as all
those things that you do that tie up your time during the day.

I can only encourage you to take a chance - and discover your true
calling by looking within. The answer is not in a new job, or a new
home or a new relationship - it's within. Let your inner powers
guide you to the life you want and deserve. Start by doing the
things you enjoy - have a little fun - and the road will be wide
open and filled with new possibilities.

5 Ways to Overcome Mental Roadblocks to Live the Life That You Want

By Alina Mikos

This is it. Your life is passing you by. You’re miserable, afraid, disappointed in life and in yourself. Only you have the power, right now, to change it. It’s going to take a lot of work, including sacrificing old patterns of behavior to make way for a new you. Are you up for it? This regime isn’t for sissies—so get ready, because here we go!
1. You May Not Be Excused
It’s easy to blame other people or circumstances as to why you are not where you want to be in life. The reality is that even if others have added certain difficulties to your life—such as an absent parent, a spiteful boss, or an ex-lover—you must take responsibility for the part you have played in your current existence. You can choose to stay in a bad situation or to move on to something better. As long as you’re making excuses for why your life isn’t fulfilling, you will never own the power you have to refashion your life the way you want it to be.
2. A Goal Properly Set is Halfway Reached
This famous Abe Lincoln quote conveys how important it is to be smart about planning your personal goals. This means knowing what you want, and doing the research to figure out how to get it. For career goals, you will want to determine what classes and training you need to be eligible for the job. With financial goals, you will need to become efficient at saving money and learning how to invest properly. For family and romantic goals, you will need to figure out what you’re looking for, work on making yourself into the most complete person you can be, and immerse yourself in the dating market. If you set realistic, well thought-out goals for yourself, with each one you complete you will feel that much better about yourself and the direction your life is taking.

3. Honor the Moments
Life is but the sum of billions of moments, strung together to create our personal experience of existence—often so many of them are taken for granted or are diminished by everyday stresses and distractions as we race ahead towards that better job, house, or relationship. Having defined goals is good, but enjoying the moments along the way is what brings quality to your daily life. If all you do is live for tomorrow, you will be miserable today. Enjoy every step along the way so you do not look back on your life and regret all the valuable memories you have wasted. As you bring the positive energy that comes from enjoying and living in the moment into each environment you find yourself in, you will attract more positive energy, people, and experiences to your life.

4. Clean Out the Clutter
Obsessing over past events and holding on to grudges hinders your ability to move forward in life and be truly open to new experiences. Every new experience and person you meet will be clouded by your past anger, fear or self-loathing. It is only when you learn to forgive yourself and others, to let go of those destructive emotions, that you are truly free of them. You must learn how to make peace with your past, or you will never be able to achieve happiness or the new life you desire.

5. Do Something Everyday That Scares You
It is easy to fall into certain daily routines and comfort zones that we cling to robotically despite our continuing unhappiness. If you feel you are blocked somehow from achieving what you want in life, move outside of that comfort zone. Challenge yourself with new expectations, activities, and responsibilities. Make decisions everyday which encourage personal growth. Learn a new skill, increase your knowledge about an old one. Put yourself in situations that may scare you, but make you a braver, more capable human. Make yourself more valuable in your own life and in the lives of others. In doing this, you will open up new avenues in your life never before explored which will bring you, no matter how surreptitiously, one step closer to the life that you truly want

The Power Of Your Mind

The mind is an incredibly powerful tool - yet we only use a small
portion of it and when we do - and we use that portion poorly.
Researchers have proven that our mental state has a direct impact
on our body. 

If you're stressed - you stand a better chance of getting sick. If
you're worried,
you stand a better chance of getting sick. The mind is an
incredibly powerful tool - and when you use it correctly -
you'll be able to get back on track, discover what you want and
why and start creating wonderful opportunities in your life. 

Why? 

Because your subconscious will pick up the messages from your mind
and act on it. 

We create what we think and what we think sends out a vibration
that attracts similar thoughts and people who share similar thoughts.
Think of thoughts as vibrations - that are picked up by the
subconscious and the universe and manifested in reality.

Beliefs have powerful vibrations and will be manifested sooner. 

So if you constantly say you don't know what you want to do, or
you're not sure, or you can't figure it out - you're only going
to create more confusion and you're only going to attract
situations that will confuse you even more. 

Stop this never-ending cycle of confusion and begin thinking about
what you want.
Negative thoughts create negative beliefs, which are negative
vibrations - in the end you attract negative situations,
negative people and a negative lifestyle. 

Begin creating the right vibrations, and the right energy to
attract the opportunities, people and situations to help you
achieve your goals. 

Getting Focused

By Kareem Haji

If you want to achieve your goals, improve your life, enjoy life or
discover your true calling - what ever it is you want to achieve
you first have to decide what is important and then come up with a
plan. You don't have to come up with all the details but you have
to come up with a list of what you want to achieve,
and have a general idea of how you plan to get there. 

Did you know that 80-percent of people who write down their goals
achieve them.
Yet less than 5-percent of people in the world actually write down
their goals and desires? 

Those are astounding figures - and think about it - just by simply
writing down your goals, objectives and plans you increase your
chance of success and achievement by 80-percent.
Did you also know that most successful people and the wealthiest
people in the world write down their goals and come up with a solid
plan of action - before they became successful? Now you know
why they're successful. 

Why does coming up with a plan and decision make such a difference?

Because when you make a decision, write it down, come up with a
plan - you tell your subconscious mind, and you send out a message -
that you're ready for success and that you will accept nothing
less than success.
It's a powerful message that supercharges your subconscious mind to
get moving on achieving these goals. 

I find writing things down and making decisions so important, not
only do I practice it regularly in my life 

Make Your Own Acquaintance

By Alina Mikos

Get introduced to your inner self

We’ve all heard words to this effect: you do the best you can with who you are at the time. Given that we are ever-changing beings, our life shifts with our maturation and personal growth. But many people lose themselves along the way, veering from their deeper consciousness—perhaps by ignoring their innermost thoughts and feelings, perhaps in an attempt to keep up with family and social expectations. It could be that you have lost touch with yourself; or maybe you’ve never really delved into the depths of the “inner you.” There’s no time like the present to take a closer look at what makes you tick, a reintroduction of sorts to your true self.
Explore Your Inner Self
Are you in tune with the true essence of who you are—your beliefs, your values, your strengths, your fears? It’s easy to allow the daily grind of life to gloss over your true spirit, as personal growth is never a simple feat. Without a clear self-image, it’s possible for your environment to sway you, diminishing your personal power and sense of self-worth. Explore your true self by asking yourself the hard questions, such as: what is my life purpose, what is it that I can contribute to everyone around me, how do others see me, and is that who I really am or want to be? To help this process along, you can reflect on how you behaved and felt as a child. Were you creative, outgoing, adventurous? You may rediscover many things that you’ve forgotten how much you once enjoyed, which will lead you in a happier direction in the now.
1. Journaling
Writing down your thoughts and emotions is a great way to expel inner thoughts and frustrations, and you may find that self-expression through written words can be more enlightening than simply talking it out. Through journaling, you can reflect on your place in life, and what could be missing. You never know what unconscious thoughts and desires might surface through a steady stream of consciousness, all of which will help you get acquainted with your inner self. Write out a personal mission statement, list your favorite hobbies and interests, dedicate a page to personal goals and dreams—those reached and those not yet achieved.
2. Trust Your Decisions
Your inner compass, or deeper intuition, will never steer you wrong. As long as you are being true to yourself, making decisions based on self-growth and self-love, you will always choose well. Trust your inner guide in this way, no matter how other people or outside circumstances attempt to sway you, as they can derail you from your personal path.
3. Be Willing to Upset the Balance
Your life at this very moment is in a certain state of homeostasis, where no matter how miserable or lost you may feel, a sense of comfort and familiarity tends to keep you frozen in the same place in life. People often remain stubborn in their current existence, opting to fight for predictability no matter how mundane or unhealthy their life may be. Work on taking positive risks that open up your life to new possibilities.
4. Your Over-and-Under Achieving Self
Keep in mind that most people have multiple sides to their personalities, and this includes self-motivation. Some moments, some days, you may feel like there is so much you want to do in life, and all your goals—no matter how difficult—must be achieved at once, or sooner than is reasonable. Other times, you may feel a bit overwhelmed and hopeless, and may not make any positive effort to move forward with your goals and personal vision. Knowing, understanding, and challenging these dueling sides of yourself is a great experience in self-discovery.
In a sense, everything and everyone is in a constant state of flux, and as you go through life’s experiences, they continue to mold and shape you into the person you are. Doing a self check-up now and then will bring you closer to understanding and loving yourself in light of these experiences and changes. This self-discovery, this re-introduction into the inner you allows you to celebrate your achievements and stay true to your spiritual path. Though you are not yet the person you will eventually become, you can acquaint yourself with the person you are now, and savor the joy and beauty of all that entails.
