Success lies in Aspiration

The Path of Most Persistence

There will always be those who will tell you it can't be done, but throughout history, progress has always come from those who said it could be done.

The people who accomplish the most do so not because they never run into problems, but because they believe there is a solution for every one.

The great men and women of history are remembered not because they never failed, but because they didn't let their failures stop them. They kept on until they succeeded.

When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2,000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said, 

“I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2,000-step process.”

Often GENIUS is just another way of spelling perseverance.

Seven Keys to High-Energy Living

Energy is a key luck factor. For you to be at the top of your form, to be action oriented, fast moving, and extremely productive, you have to have  high levels of physical and mental energy. 

For you to be able to take advantage of all the possibilities around you, and to have the continuous enthusiasm that keeps you and others motivated and moving ahead, you have to organize your life so that you feel terrific about yourself most of the time.

1. Eat the Right Foods :

The first key to high energy is a proper diet. To perform at your best, you must eat the right foods, in the right balance, and in the right combination. Your diet has an inordinate impact on the amount of energy you have, how well you sleep, your levels of health and fitness, and your performance throughout the day and into the evening.

2. Watch your Weight :

The second key to high energy is proper weight. Proper weight is essential for health, happiness, and long life. Being slightly under your ideal weight is best. As they say, you can never be too rich or too thin. If you are not happy with your current level of physical health, you need to set specific goals for yourself for the weeks and months ahead.

3. Exercise is Essential :

The third key to high energy is proper exercise. The best activity for high energy and physical fitness is aerobic exercise. This type of exercise requires that you get your heart rate up into what is called the training zone three times per week. This training zone is about 120 to 160 beats per minute, depending on your age. You then keep it there for at least 20 minutes or more each session.

4. Get Lots of Rest and Recreation :

The fourth key to high energy is proper rest. You need an average of seven to eight hours of sleep each night to be fully rested. You need to take off at least one full day each week during which you don't work at all. You should take regular mini-holidays of two or three days each, every couple of months. You should take one and two week vacations each year when you relax completely and get your mind totally off your work.

5. Develop a Positive Mental Attitude :

The sixth key to high energy is the elimination of negative emotions. This can be the most important thing you do to assure a long and happy life. Your ability to keep your mind on what you want and off of what you don't want will determine your levels of health and happiness more than any other decision you make.

6. Start a Personal Mental Fitness Program :

The seventh key to high energy is for you to go on a 21-daypositive mental attitude diet, one day at a time. Resolve that, for the next 21 day, you are going to keep your mind on what you want and keep it off the things you don't want. You are going to think and talk positively and optimistically about your goals, other people, and everything that is going on in your life.

7. Become a Personal Powerhouse :

The more you practice the health habits we have talked about, the more energy and vitality you will have. The more you keep your conversation focused on your goals and on the things you want, the greater the amount of strength and power you will feel. You will be more alert and aware. You will feel more positive and action oriented in every situation.

Friends Forever & Always

Friendship is a feeling
That never will grow old
Warm and loving it will stay
When other things grow cold.

It's a special kind of love
That cannot be denied
Because I know for sure my friend
You're always by my side.

Friends come and friends go
In this game that we play
A true friend no matter what
In my heart will always stay.

So glad I found you in my life
A bond we weave together
Our friendship will keep growing
And stay with us forever.

- Ginny Bryant

Inspiring Quotes

Be Simple.

To get your ideas across
use small words,
big ideas,
and short sentences

The Definition of Courage.

Courage is not defined by those
who fought and did not fall,
but by those who fought,
fell and rose again.

Change

If you don't like something,
change it, if you can't change it,
change the way you think about it.

Your Intentions Prompt You into Action

The Law of Attraction works primarily through our needs and the things we want. This mystical law brings into our lives our heart’s desire, which is what we experience when we align our needs and wants. Without the alignment, what we don’t want or what we dislike heads in our direction.

It is our intention that motivates, and we must exact our preferences if we hope to prosper employing this law. It is our mind working with our body and that produces results. Our mind alone cannot establish outcomes, but merely guide us to take action. For instance, we can notice the need to do something, like fill a bowl of water for our pet.

Unless we intend to do this, by actually thinking or saying that, we will do it our body remains inactive. Unless we tell ourselves what we intend to accomplish, and this directs our body to do so. Simply thinking that the dog needs water will not get the job done. We must want to fill the bowl and this is when the need matches, what you want, causing a heart’s desire.

The aforementioned example is a simple one that shows how the intellect and body work together. We repeatedly notice things that need doing or think we should do something. The trouble is that we think about doing and lack the motivation. Thinking about what we want, is merely a part of the process. We must then be open to what needs doing and take action. This is the reason that goal setting is effective!

Our subconscious mind works in such a way that just saying we want something, sets the goal. We must then be open to opportunities to fulfill our goal; we must match our needs and wants. Our body is co-dependent on our mind. Likewise, our mind is co-dependent with our bodies.

They work together to reach our heart’s desire! Think about what you want, and then consider your needs, developing an intention that will motivate you to take action. Your five senses (body) bring what needs doing to your attention. Your mind must then acknowledge that you want to do it before your body will follow through with the task.

We cannot hope to use the Law of Attraction to our advantage, unless we fully understand ourselves. Things happen by accident each day, or so we imagine, but do they? Have you ever heard yourself think that you want a new car and then thought you should test-drive one? Just wanting a new vehicle does not deliver it. You must have the intention to receive one, and chances are you will have to purchase it yourself.

Your body will work at extra jobs or hours for the money if you intend to buy the car. The Law of Attraction will provide you the opportunity. You must be willing to do take action, because the magical law functions in mysterious ways! One rule of thumb is – “opportunities are disguised as work ninety percent of the time.” How many times have you thought that you should have or could have done something and recognized a missed opportunity?

This was the Law of Attraction at work in your life; a chance to get what you wanted by providing you with what you need! Match what you want with what you need and your heart’s desire will form your intention to achieve your goals. Align your body and mind and your life will fulfill itself, creating the joy of living, as you create positive momentum!

A Friend Is Like...

A friend is like a forest,
Or a lovely, calm blue sea,
A refuge from life’s problems,
As only a friend can be.

A friend is like a song,
Soothing to the brain,
Distracting us from trouble,
Neutralizing pain.

A friend is like some ice cream
On a sweltering summer day,
Making life delicious,
In a friend’s own special way.

A friend is like a blanket,
Bringing peace and rest,
A cocoon of warmth and pleasure;
When we are tired or stressed.

A friend is a bit of everything
That makes life good and sweet,
And you, my friend, are all that;
You make my life complete!
