Hello everybody and welcome to another article from the Think and Succeed series and me Niki Dzhurov. Today I want to put the spot light on another reason, why so many people do not seem to be able to live a successful life, and be happy. This reason is again one, which sounds so insignificant and small, that people even don’t think about it. And as you know, when you don’t think about it, you are not aware of it and you can’t make the necessary changes for the better. Well as most of the other articles I have been publishing recently, here as well I will try to get another invisible obstacle out of our way to success. So without further introducing let’s get straight in to it.
One of the biggest reason we are unhappy and dissatisfied is that we are not living the life we want to. As I told you it sound silly right? Everybody THINK they know that. But it is one thing to know something, it is entirely different thing to understand it with all your being. All people know truths like that, but they don’t put aside the necessary mental effort to understand truly those truths. Why is that truth in particular so important? I will give the long answer in this article with the hope that I will help everybody reading this to Realize, not just to know this. We are all unique. We are all gifted at some sphere of life and we are all passionate about a certain activity in life. We all have a spiritual DNA which predetermines what will bring us joy.
The reality is that joy and success doesn’t come from a certain achievement it comes from an activity. Unfortunately most people end in a job which is not in line with their spiritual blue print, and being in a situation like that they end up in a state of a never ending unhappiness. I call this living somebody’s else life. Everyone of us have certain goals, values, a vision for the world. When people make compromises and do something they do not like, or even if they are ok with that, but they are not passionate with that activity, I think they are not living the life they should. And that is why they are unhappy. Today many of us think that happiness is something random, that some day destiny will be good to us and we will experience something good. The problem with a mind set like that is that it give us green line to avoid thinking for ourselves and acting towards the life we want to live. It again comes down to thinking accurately for ourselves and doing what we want. That is success. Only when we do that, we live our life, and we are most productive and can give our best our there and receive through the laws of the universe what we deserve. This are all well known facts, but a believe we should stress them more intensely here again because more than 90 percent of the people today are living somebody’s else life. They are working for somebody, with a different view of the world.
We constantly make compromises instead of thinking what do we truly want. We fall of the habit of picking thoughts from the outer world and adjusting our mind in connection with them. The problem start all the way from our childhood. All the TV which we are exposed to, different opinions of people can deprive us of independent thought.
We want to be loved, noticed, and attractive and we adapt to what is fashionable out there, We learn from kids to try to be cool and do everything we can to avoid criticism and be different because that means, danger of realizing our deepest fear. The fear of being alone. The problem is that many people carry those fears all the way throughout their life, and they never aspire to be what they truly want to be in their life. We don’t even think about this because we don’t learn to think in alignment with our true self while we are young. We learn to think from the views of all the people and environment that surrounds us, and that habit goes all the way through life with us. That is why many of us never achieve joy. We can be happy achieve many things but in the end we build everything through the thinking of other people, and deep down inside we know there is something missing. Of course we should mind our community and the system of the world which runs everything but today more than ever the world needs variety. And nature’s abundance comes down to variety. It is not coincidence that every human being is unique. That is how it should be. At the core of our being everyone of us is unique and that is what make everyone of us so precious. The problem with today’s culture we are strive to be the same, to wear the same clothes, share the same views of the world, do the same thinking. And in that way we are held by the fear of criticism. To be a success, means to live a life without fear. That is why when we think independently and live our life we are truly happy.
Most of us never do that being afraid that we will be criticized for not following the herd. And there is some reason for this fear. Because when we begin to think and act differently there is a period of transition, during which sometimes we can have a period of being alone with ourselves. But those periods a necessary in order for us to listen to our own thinking and start to live the life we love. Once we do that, as with all other fears, the fear of criticism dies and we become stronger than ever, more alive and more attractive to the people we want in out life. Thinking independently is the hardest thing on earth. If you don’t believe me try it and you will see what I mean. Building you life from within is the only way to success. It is hard because from our first years we learn to live in the wrong way. We learn to respond not to think for ourselves. And once we start on the wrong path even if we give our all, we are doomed to failure. To live our life’s happily we need to think what we want, once we find our passion, and do it despite of what others will say we will be a success, and everything else will can achieve as naturally as the day follows the night.
Think about this. Because even in the programs of some of the best self development gurus, people are falling in the trap of following every advice, and they are prone to start living their teacher’s live. The key to success is within. In the mind of every individual. The more we go to our thought habits from youth to let somebody’s else do your thinking, we will just recondition ourselves to continue going towards a reality and a life we don’t want.

Hello everybody and welcome to another interesting article from the Think and Succeed project. Today I want to talk about the real power of knowledge and how can we practically applied in connection with all the others skills needed to succeed. It is quite strange that in todays reality we can often hear people devaluing the importance of knowledge.
This is a result of the lack of practical appliance of knowledge by people. The reality is that the less you know or strive to develop the less the vision in your mind about what is possible is. You will be amazed to realize that whatever you can imagine in your mind and desire, you can find a way to obtain it. The starting point as Napoleon Hill states in his classic “Think and Grow Rich” is Desire. After that it is knowledge. When you start learning end expanding your vision and imagination as a result of that you will see that you can get more. Most people don’t excel to the things they really want in life because they get stuck in the current reality which doesn’t suits them. What you see is what you get. This phrase of wisdom is so true, because it is true. The sad part is that most people don’t readjust properly to it and get stuck. They truly get what they see, because their minds are on drifting or observation more. Thanks to knowledge we can use another mental power of ours that can truly help us make the desired change. We can learn that we can do more, see the possibilities in our mind and act on that picture.
Here we have a mixing of the power of imagination, believe, desire, persistence and many more. In today’s article though I am focusing on the power of knowledge no matter in what connection. Knowledge is crucial. In the modern sphere of Self development industry I notice a trend which concentrates on devaluating the importance of knowledge and creating a Hype around emotions, faith, etc. True to be really successful in life there are many key factors, but the trick here is that all those skills need to work together. In that way each one of them produces more results when in combination with the others, than if applied alone. Do not dismiss knowledge. All successful people learn constantly new and new skill in their sphere of occupation. That helps them to see differently and to get different better results. The only way for us to shift from observation to creation is first to be on the top. To know all there is in connection to our work and then our mind can start creating new ideas plans. Faith, desire persistence cannot survive without knowledge. Usually after people undergo some self development program or seminar and their desire level and faith are skyrocketed high they get to a good start but as a result of the absence of the habit for acquiring the latest knowledge, they fall behind. Their vision start to shrink and soon they are swept away by the current undesired reality they are fighting and as a result the get what they see.
The number one obstacle to success for many of us is the lack of combining desire and knowledge properly. Tully happy people blend these to weapons and they are at the top, because the love what they do and it is only natural to strive forward to perfection by learning more. It is sad that usually because of lack of definiteness of purpose most children study things they don’t have the passion for and as a result built in their minds the believe that learning process in general is unpleasant and unnecessary. That believe cause us the not desire to learn more, and to get trap in the prison of ignorance. Ignorance is the number one reason why people don’t move forward. You can’t strive towards something if you don’t know that it exits. Even if you know that it exists if you think that you are not on the level of the people you want to be with, again you see that reality and that is what you get.
We need to use the power of desire, dreaming, wishing to get moving in a moment when we know we are not on the desire level. But during the developing progress we need to start learning, because that is the only way we can keep fueling the believe, faith, and desire that we can make it. Most people I believe make that mistake. They desire something wish for it, start some actions towards it, but very soon they start to have troubles because they don’t realize that they need to learn new skills and do things differently to succeed. They need to change they need to learn. Desire alone won’t get us anywhere. To unleash the power of our mind we need knowledge and the more we get the more our mind can figure out practical ideas and plans, in connection to the things we want from life. Of course there are many very smart people and yet again they are nowhere, but don’t let people like that feed wrong believes in your mind. People like that just did not use their vast amounts of knowledge properly, because they didn’t blended it with the other skills necessary to win. This just goes to prove that every skill necessary to success if applied in extreme manners alone is not enough. It can even be dangerous. Balance and cooperation in the usage of our power is the key.
In today’s article I focused on the power of knowledge, because I know that there are many false believes in connection to it which stop us from using it properly And we need to. Otherwise wonderful things, like emotion, planning, desire, persistence, decision making, cooperative effort, all these skills we lack one main source of fuel and that is the habit of continues acquirement of knowledge.
To change what we see and believe is true, and to get something we want we need to learn. There is no other way out of the prison of everyday boring life. What you see is what you get. It is always like that. You just need to start seeing things differently. With knowledge you help the mind to do that. Without knowledge it is much harder to succeed in any sphere of way.
Thank you for reading this article. I hope it was useful to you as it covers a subject often misunderstood and unapplied properly in our every day life.

To concentrate we need to have enough time and passion to Think deeply before we act. Concentration is Thinking, and Thinking is the core skill we need to have to Succeed. Hello everybody and welcome back. My name is Nikolay Dzhurov and I am happy to share an article on one key issue which stops people from succeeding in life. That issue is called multi tasking. It is not coincidence, that I have started my article with the importance of concentration and thinking relative to everything we do. That is what successful people do and that is why they succeed. Multi tasking is the opposite of concentration, and it will bring us the opposite results. What most people do not do is that they don’t plan their life. They don’t have a vision how to succeed, what to do, and a plan towards the attainment of their desired life style. Usually people don’t do all this valuable steps, and never achieve happiness because, if you would ask them they will say that, they don’t have time.
Today people are doing more things than ever, working harder than ever, learning and doing more activities than ever, and are more unhappy than ever. Why do we have such a confusing situation? The answer is multi tasking. People today engage in more activities than ever before, dispersing their energy in many locations, which exhausts them completely. To succeed in anything we need a peace of mind. We need some time with ourselves, really to think accurately what we want, how can we achieve it, and to plan and start doing it. Most people just can’t find time to do these simple steps. People are living their lives so fast these days that they don’t have time even for their families sometimes. And more importantly they don’t have time to think. When we are doing many things at a time, and the tasks just keep on coming and coming, we have to react on the situation. And that is the magic word here. Reaction. When we do that, as a result of the lack of time, we just give our powers to the circumstances we want to avoid, thus paving the way for more issues with which we need to deal later. All human beings have the natural desire to do more, to do it better, to do it faster, Today more then ever, especially in western society, people are trapped in a magical circle of speed, which leads them nowhere. Our mind can handle only a certain amount of effort. We all strive for better, but because of all the rush, we can easily get in to a trap. A trap where as a lack of accurate thought, we invest our energy and efforts on tasks and activities, which if analyzed properly, we would realize that are not helping us making the desired change. I am not saying that we shouldn’t strive to be better and better. But being better, achieving more, and living a successful life, doesn’t mean going on a speed which actually just wear us out in the end. It is much easier to make yourself busy all the time and think, that we are on the right track, instead of slowing down and thinking really, are the things we are doing right now worth it? Simple, yet powerful!
It is not always the person who gives his best effort, who wins. But you can be sure that the one who thinks more and than acts, always wins. Usually if you ask people why are they doing a certain thing, and is that activity a part of a plan of theirs, for attaining of a desired goal, they won’t be able to answer. Quite often people get so swept away by their work, that they work just for the work and not for themselves. For a better life, for joy. You know that one common thing among successful people is that they do what they love. In order for us to reach that level, we need to slow down and think what we need to change. We will never be able to do that, if we don’t have time. And to have time we need to slow down. We need to eliminate all the insignificant things we do, and concentrate on the important task. This is really hard because today it is easier that ever to get distracted by so many thing. When we do many things with half mind, because of the amounts of tasks, we loose our ability to concentrate while performing the certain task, and as a result of that the quality of our performance suffers. Try one exercise and you will see how difficult it is just to slow down. One day concentrate on doing just the important thing in your daily schedule, that will have the biggest impact on you future. Put effort in to it. In the beginning you will find this hard to do. You mind becomes so well conditioned to doing many things at a time, that if you force it to concentrate on one thing, you will be thinking at first that you are not doing enough. That sitting down and really making a plan is not valuable investment of you time. You can think that you are wasting you time instead of doing so many other things.
Until we change the believe that doing more is better, than doing less, we will feel uncomfortable when we try to concentrate on one task. And in the end it comes down to this. To get that clarity in our mind and perform every task with the end goal in mind. Once we start to do that, we can pick again the speed a little bit, but this time everything will be under our control. We will do things much better, with less stress because we will do them from passion, knowing that performing them will bring us success. We won’t act from fear of loosing out job. These invisible mind shifts are the hidden difference between a happy life and a miserable one. We have the right to choose. If we neglect that right, we can be sure that the negative option will be forced on us by circumstances
There will be more ideas on that topic from me, as I believed it is really important. How do you manage multi tasking. Share you advices, and opinions on the article you have just read. That is all there is in achieving success. Managing issues like the one pointed in this article. Doesn’t sound like some secret key to success, but it is. Because although that simple and apparent, most people neglect it’s value and in that way never succeed.

Hello everybody and welcome to another interesting Article from me Niki Dzhurov. Today I want to shed light on one key aspect of success, which everybody seems to know when we mention it, but almost nobody applies it. We are going to talk about the power of love and it’s core place in the success formula. How can we use that power we all have, and why without being aware and applying that eternal truth, all the others skills required for a happy life are useless.
If you are following my articles or you are doing some course of personal development, you must have realized by now, that to be successful is not an easy thing. Here by successful I am not referring only to the financial side of your life. If it was easy, the percentage of happy people should be over 10, and at the moment is not. Unless you are getting up smiling in the morning, ready and eager to get your day going you are not in that percent of successful people. Many rich people, who people admire and think they are happy, don’t fall in the percent of the truly successful people as well. They may have the money, but money alone doesn’t equal joy. Many people associate happiness with money. That is not true. Parish that thought, that believe. With a beginning like that things don’t look promising right? So far I have not only stated that to succeed and be financially independent is hard, but I have added the fact, that even if we have the money, with which most people associate happiness, again we might be sad and unfulfilled. What is missing then?
We are missing the harmony between the things we do in our life, with which we earn our living, and the love and satisfaction from the work itself. Remember in one of my previous articles that I said, that success is the journey. Well to achieve that golden state of being. we need to concentrate all our effort in doing the things we love to do. Doing them, not only for the money, not for somebody else, but doing them because we love it. Have you ever wondered how successful people have so much power to do so many things, WITH SUCH A PASSION and energy. If you study these people, you will see that they all have one thing in common. They love their job. In contrast to the small figures of happy, successful people, most of the people work something they don’t like, and are looking with hope to their next holiday or weekend. When you are in that situation you can never unleash the power necessary to succeed really. To do all the other required steps for success, to plan, to perform, to develop, to learn, to take the initiative, to persist, to give your all, you have to strive towards developing in a sphere you like. You have to have fun now. Not when you work for years at a job you don’t like to save money, and then to have fun. You need to do it now. When you align with your desires, you have all the energy you need. You can be creative,passionate, persistent and much more. When you are in that state of mind all of a sudden you are happy now and start to do all the things necessary to move forward with ease.
Most people know this and still don’t do it. WHY? The answer is simple. They build such a strong habits in doing things they don’t like that they forget what is it like to really enjoy life. Their imagination switches off. Add to this, that usually to do the things you want you need to sacrifice time and effort and to go through a transition moment before you peak up speed in the occupation you like, and it becomes even more difficult. It again comes down to the comfort zone. We get comfortable with everything as time goes by even the things we don’t like. That happens because negative experiences, cause a strong negative reaction in our mind and imprison our minds to them. We think of them. The only way to breakthrough is through another strong emotional reaction, which only our love can give us. Our desire. Once we start doing the things we love, it is not hard to concentrate on that as we practice. We can be happy only when we are giving love to the things we do. No matter what is your religion believe, or if you believe in God at all, one thing I think we can all agree on. We are on this planet, we have our life as a gift for the purpose to give love. This is the only way for us to be happy. THINK ABOUT IT. Everybody has a passion towards something, which he needs to express.
People are searching for external sources to be happy, when in reality they only need to focus on the things they love in their mind and actions, and everything else comes naturally. The moment you are not enjoying what are you doing, you and everybody around you feel that in way or another. To do the things we love acquires us to get to know ourselves. Our desires. What makes us happy. To imagine it and to start moving towards that heaven on earth. All this requires us to THINK accurately. Nobody can do that for us. WE NEED TO THINK, concentrate and realize that in reality the quality of our life and everything which we can achieve, depends on this. Once you find the thing which you can do all day long, which you enjoy, the thing which makes time stops while doing it, the thing which makes you heart beat faster, you have made the biggest step towards you freedom. Concentrate your mind on that issue because understanding it or neglecting to realize the importance of Love in connection to everything we do, is our biggest cross road in life. One way lead to happiness, the other to struggles. It is not easy. Look around you. Many people are unhappy, especially today with the current economic situation. You need to think differently from the masses and that is easy when you think, plan, do the thing you love. It is like being with the women, or theman you love all the time. The world becomes a better place. You believe you can do anything.
Give Love and you will be happy. For many of us it is difficult to reach that state, where we are enjoying the things we do at work. To reach that harmony. But in the end that is the meaning of life. It is tricky in the beginning there will be fears and battles, but with love by your side it is worth. The stakes are high. If we neglect to use that weapon we can’t win. There are more helpful tools which can help us to dance with love, but to strive for that we need to see the ultimate goal. To be aware of it. This article has that as a mission. Think about it. Love has many faces for different people, but here it is up to you to THINK and find what makes you start radiating love? What is your blueprint? What makes you feel like in heaven, while doing it? The rest is only a matter of time.
Thank you for reading. Share your opinions on this article. I would love to read some feedback from you. You can do that at: www.facebook.com/Think.and.Succeed . Thank you and all the best.
After we have looked at some more basics things we need to know, and be aware of, I think now is time to start looking at the specific skills we need to succeed. The first and always overlooked step towards success is faith. Yes it main sound abstract, but the big keys to success are often hidden between some shy and undervalued skills. In reality it is thanks to faith that we are developing as a specious. In order to change everything in your life, you have to believe that you can do it. That is why change is so difficult for people. In order for the change to happen we need to act with faith in something which doesn’t exist at the moment.
In reality everything we do in life is guided by our believes, by our faith. It is up to us to choose how to use our faith for good or for bad. Every step we make in life is guided by our believe system which influences our faith. The key to making the most of faith in a good way is to become aware of the power she has in our life. Some of you may say that faith is not used from people who don’t make any progress in life, or give up in the first sign of difficulty or failure. I would say that this is not true. People like that are just not aware of the power of faith and that is why they are using it in the wrong way. When a person doesn’t give his all to go forward that just means that he believes that he can’t make it. He uses the bad side of that gift we have. Don’t be confused by a statement which says that faith can be bad. In reality everything in life has good and bad side. Even love if it is not used properly. It all depends on our awareness in connection to the use of certain skill and our thinking.
It all comes down to that. People don’t use faith properly because they either don’t know it’s true power or just haven’t use it in a good way and need to change in order to do that. They need to break their thought Habit, and that is the hardest part. Because even if we know that what we do is wrong, it is hard to stop it, because we have become so used to it. The power of habit is strong but can be used for good as well. We will expand on that in a different article. Let’s get back on the power of faith. Why I’m going in details first with this skill in my book. I’m doing that because this is the starting point. And if we are not aware of the importance of faith we can’t find our desires, make plans, take action, use are imagination, be persistent and make the most of the difficulties we will have on our way. Try to understand this: if we don’t use faith voluntary, it is more likely that faith will be used in a bad way against us. That is the tricky part in life. It takes effort to developed and achieve good things in life. It takes nothing to go down in the valley of failure. The only thing necessary for the devil to win is for us not to think and act. When we neglect to do that, to put time aside and use our born powers for good, they are used for bad.
Many Gurus in the wellness and self improvement world state the importance of desire, action, planing etc. It is all true but always in the end everything is connected to faith. That is why the topic around the subconscious mind or our inner believer is becoming more and more popular. Because this is where faith is formed and used for good or bad. To make the most of this article after you finish it put at least half an hour aside and think what you really believe? How do you use your faith. No coach, emotional guru or teacher can do that for you. You don’t need to go to expensive seminars and invest thousands of dollars. You can do this breakthrough step right now. And when you do it you can easily understand and make the most of the next articles that are going to come for me and use your faith properly to Desire, Plan, Act, Persist and achieve the things you want.
I’m looking forward to your comments on that article. For more interesting pieces of information you can always check my website: www.thinkandsucceed.net or the official facebook fan Page of T&S: www.facebook.com/Think.and.Succeed/
Hello everybody. Thank you again joining me. I believe articles like the one, which will follow, are quite rear in the internet space. Especially when we are talking about information relative to self improvement, Success, happiness, wellness etc. As you may already know, I am passionate about the topic of success and I am sharing my point of view relative to the necessary skills needed to win in life, and the obstacles that stand on our way. Things like, faith, desire, planing, accurate thinking, action, persistence and many more are really important. But not all of them combined are as important as self control is.
Because to start applying any of this skill and combine them in the right order we need to DO IT right. We need to make ourselves to do it. To have the control, the will power over ourselves, so we can do it. And here is where more than 90 percent of people fail. Why? Because even if we know everything required to win. Even if we have the programs, the coaches as support, friends and family, NOBODY can do it for us. Nobody can put ourselves in our shoes and do anything for us. In the end the more you think about everything in life, the more you will see, that there is solution for every problem. It comes down to the fact that we need to have control over ourselves to do it. Think about it. Honestly!!! Think about anything you want, and ask yourself is there a way to achieve it. Maybe the answer will require more time and can turn out to be quite difficult, but in the end you will always see that there is a way. And at that point we are faced with the biggest obstacle. Ourselves. You may say that you know all this, and I would not argue, but if you understood this you would be where you wanted to be know right? Because you would have taken the necessary actions. Your life would have been different. Think deeply about this and you will see that I’m right.
I realize that fact that some of you want find any meaning in this and that is ok with me although it is sad. The tragedy is that in today’s world, we have so many coaches, programs, wellness and self-improvement teacher and yet again almost nothing is mentioned with such an intensity about the issue of self control. That is why I’m going in to deep with this topic in this article. Because self control is the only thing which determines how much you progress, how much you develop, how much you think, how much you manage you emotions. In the end it all comes down to the will power necessary to break the habits and make a change. And to do that you have to take control of yourself, You have to put time aside and study the skills you need to progress towards the job you want for example. To stop wasting time for TV shows and surfing the internet without purpose and to invest your time in something significant. To concentrate more, to do more, to be more. Everything starts from you. It is really hard in the beginning but that is the price of success. You need to take control over yourself. To take responsibility and start planing and thinking and acting.
After that there are many more battles, but you will have won the main one. Although that battle never ends. This is life. By nature, through many mechanisms we are easy target for bad habits, for the comfort zone. It requires effort. Self control which cannot be bought or developed just overnight. I am sick and tired to see in many programs and seminars the lack of that golden rule. Maybe it is because if we want to sell something we know people hate to take responsibility and want the short cut. There are easier ways to succeeding in life in any calling, but if we want to be able to make the most of the programs, and teachings of the truly great we need to master ourselves first. Because through lack of applying that golden rule, through lack of being aware of it, people are doomed to fail. Because they do not take action. Their old state of mind and habits ground them to the reality they don’t want. They can buy many programs, go to many seminars, but in the end the core answer is within. When we make our mind to do something and we really mean it, the rest is a matter of time. This shouldn’t scare us on the contrary. Ones we manage to shift our thinking and achieve the necessary state of awareness we cannot be surprised unpleasantly by ourselves. I am going to long with this article but I know from personal experience how tricky it is to stay in the right lane.
Through neglect of controlling myself I have lost a lot in life. If you control your mind you are in charge of life. Of you neglect to control it, life is in charge of you. You have head this before. I’m sure that I haven’t say anything new in general. That wasn’t my intention. My intention was to raise our awareness on the subject because it is so easy to forget the basics rules in life, when we are consumed with our busy daily environment. BY OUR HABITS. Just thing about it and I know everyone can reach his own useful conclusions from this article and apply the lessons in practical terms in his life. Nobody else can do that for you.

Hello everybody and welcome to another interesting article. This topic is one of my favorite ones. I believe with core value when analyzed properly. In today society more and more attention is pointed towards the skills we need to succeed. More and more programs, self development programs and gurus are engaged in helping people reach new highs in everything they do. And that is fantastic, because it means that people are finally ready to take responsibility and do things right in life to win. But behind this positive picture there are still big missing links, which cause problems and frustration to millions of people, who are otherwise ready and give effort, just to find no results.
One of the major problem is in connection to the way people understand the meaning behind the word “success”. In total the way of developing goals, I believe is not understood right by people, as a result of the lack of proper teaching in most cases, or lack of clarity. Let me give practical examples of the wrong way people understand success in their mind, and the bad results from that. We all know that if we are not happy we need to write down a goal, develop plan and act with faith towards the attainment of the desired result. We develop the mind set that the end goal, we aim at, gives us strength to overcome the difficulties, we will have to battle with. While this is a must to move forward, there is one aspect of this mind set which is dangerous. The worst part is, that usually people don’t have any idea what that danger is. I call it the problem of the future oriented mind. When we are in bad situation, it is only logical to ignore the present bad reality and strive for the future better times. The problem is that we start conditioning our mind with the believe, that one day we will be happy, one day things will change. Or we think that when I achieve a goal then I will smile, or I will be better. People often lose track of their real life, over pumped by some positive thinking program. They start to drift through life. They can’t see that they are putting all their energy and happiness in one moment in the future. A time frame which may represent one to three percent of their life. Ok maybe the joy during that time is really sweet, but what about the other 97 percent of the time. People are often left with the idea that they should totally sacrifice many things for the better future, ending up sacrificing their life. It is a tricky mind trap. THINK about it. The worst part is that when you achieve your goal, you have your happy time and than you go to the new goal setting again and pave your way to another 97 percent of lack of happiness, because you reinforce the believe that you will be happy, have the desired vacation, or do whatever you want, when you achieve the goal. It is really scary if you think about it how we can start using even the best thoughts we can create for bad.
This is where the importance of thinking comes out. That is why I’m so passionate about this subject. You need to think and realize that you can change your attitude towards the things you have in your life, now and apply the golden formula that so many personal development gurus preach. Start enjoying life now, be happy now, be grateful for your life now. Yes you heard that before and it is hard to do it when you are in a bad situation, but you can always see something good in any situation. The key not to fall in the treasure seeking state of mind and to deprive yourself of happiness most of the time is to start doing something which gives your happiness now. We need to use our passion and have fun now. And when we perform activities relative to our passion every day, and mix this with plans and faith, and persistence we will be successful straight away. Now!!! Not after 3 or 10 years. Now. The problem usually is that people try to force success to come in to their life. In reality everything can happen and needs to happen naturally. That happens when you are happy and we can be happy when we give love. When we give our best. That is the secret to success. That is why people who are making their income from a work they are passionate about, or should I say they are in Love with, because passion is just another word for love if you ask me, are happy now. They are successful now, and in the future, and as a result, the money, the right people and everything else comes naturally. You can’t truly expect to succeed while working in a job which you don’t like, be angry, and imitative. And yet again most people do just that??? Even though you may be doing that with the believe that you will give now, pass through hard times for a better future, the sacrifices are too big in most cases. The old saying that the end goal, justifies the methods we use, is wrong. Because we give our time, and time is our life. Success is a state of living, a state of mind.
We can always strive for more and we should, because that is how we are build by nature. That drive we have in us is so precious and necessary, but when overused in a wrong way, like everything else we have as skills and powers, it can lock us in a prison of a never fulfilled life. I will give one quick example of this before I finish the article. You know of many cases when famous people achieve outstanding success in their carriers after which their life becomes hard. It is like that because when you think, that when you reach something you will be ok, and when you do that you do the maths, and see how much time and effort you gave for just a short period of happiness, it is a horrible shock. It is like your life ends. Always strive for better but don’t think that when you get there you will be happy. Enjoy the journey, because if you don’t, even when you reach the goal, you will realize that you have missed much of what you call success. On the other hand if you go towards the goal with integrity and gratitude your whole life will be a success for you. In the end that is what matters.

The power of Imagination
Hello everybody. After we had a little deeper look in the power of Faith, I hope that you are ready to make the most of the article you are about to read. Read it in a state of faith. This advice applies to all the programs you decide to take for self development or any other skill you want. To absorb them in a state of faith, and than to apply them. Without faith you will not apply anything and no results will come. From the beginning, I am making a little detour, but a Important one because I want you to make the most of this article as well. Let’s dive in.
Why is Imagination so important? Most of the people are not aware that they are using their imagination all the time for good or bad. Imagination and faith are closely connected. When one changes the other changes. The more we focus our mind and Imagine a good future for us, the more we can develop faith and as a result start to plan and perform certain actions towards that goal. In most of the time we are future oriented which is normal state of mind, but usually we overdo this concentration and don’t focus on the present. About the issue of presence we will talk in another article. When we talk about Imagination, that skill guides every action of ours. We always use it for good or bad. When we use it for good we channel the power of our thoughts and as a result start moving in the right way. When we don’t use it or just switch it off than the bad things start to happen. When we don’t strive for better we think we are not in danger, but we are still using the imagination. The problem is that we let it run wild. We let it being influenced by our current environment. As a result of that we enter the magical circle of boring life where everything is the same and we just can’t seem to find power to go forward. Sounds interesting isn’t it? When you can’t Imagine a better future you can’t think, plan and move towards one. A specific character of successful people is that they are aware of their imagination and use it properly. This is a tool so powerful that we are guilty even of not being aware to use it in practicable ways in our life. Let me give you an example of its power. When Christmas is approaching we use our imagination in the most wonderful way. We Imagine what presents we will have, the moment when we are going to be with our family and friends, the Christmas tree, etc. All these thoughts born in our imagination makes us happier, more productive, more loving. All this creates that specific atmosphere in the air in the days before Christmas. What power is that isn’t it? All thanks to Imagination. Nothing else changes during that period except the way we use our minds, our imagination. And an interesting fact is that in most cases the reality at Christmas never equals or deepest thought born in our imagination. But that doesn’t take away the feelings we had when we expected the holiday. You can hear most people saying that they enjoyed the period before Christmas much more than Christmas itself. Why is that? Simple. During that period their imagination gave them joy and power to perform better in daily tasks. Nothing changes in that period to make us better except the way we use imagination. I hope from this example you can realize how powerful this mental faculty is. There is a saying that what we think we feel. Well that is an example how through imagination we can feel joy inside and be better in every calling of wife. That power is needed to keep you on track to make plans as a result of which we build faith. That faith helps us overcome difficulties. Imagination is an absolute must, because you either use it to lift you high or you neglect to use it and she will destroy you. The bad side of imagination comes if you let it run wild. Then she makes fears bigger and scarier that they are in reality. That in the other hand destroys faith, poisons the mind, shuts the light at the end of the tunnel, and just locks you in the circle of everyday struggle really hard. I know it sounds scary, but I have experienced it. I believe every human being has experienced this at some stage of their life. You know how many people are sharing that, when they face their fear, they realize it is not as scary as they thought it would be, or let me here just added, AS THEY IMAGINED it would be. I am not talking here to use imagination for fairy tale thinking and just hoping. You can really imagine what you want and then strive for it. The joy is in the journey, in the days before Christmas.
So invest some time after this article and really think how are you using your imagination. And then think what are you doings in reality as a result of the proper or improper use of it. If you put in the necessary concentration of thought you will see the connection between Imagination, Faith, plans, actions and result, and I hope you will realize why I’m going in to such a details about mental faculties which are either generally overlooked or totally undervalued in connection to everyday life, experiences and activities. The Irony is that these faculties and their use, determines the amount of happiness or suffering in your life. And isn’t that equation we want to change for the better when we set plan, and act using our minds?
Thank you for investing of your time in reading this. I hope it will serve you in the best way possible. For more and future content of this type check out my website: www.thinkandsucceed.net or www.facebook.com/Think.and.Succeed/
- Why is the wellness industry failing to deliver?
- We are certainly living in interesting times. In times when for the first time people are becoming aware of the power they have over their destiny in all areas of life. It is of no surprise that in the beginning of the 21st century more and more people are searching for the answers to their problem within themselves. It is no surprise as well that the life coaching industry, known also as wellness is gaining speed.
- Well the reality is that there is awareness of the power we have, but the industry in general is failing to deliver. Not sure about it? Ask any of your friends what they think about hiring a life coach or a wellness expert. In general the association people have in their minds when they hear anything about coaching and wellness is negative. It is a strange paradox isn’t it? Most people think this is all a bunch of fairy tale thinking and visualisations, with absolutely no practical appliance in every day life, and they are right in most cases. There are more programs and system developed for goal achievement and self improvement than ever before in the history of human kind, and yet again the results are not coming for most people. Why is that? The answer is simple. Because the basic system from which coaches and experts are delivering their services is wrong. Put it simple there are no progressions in the programs for personal development. Too much emphasis is put on hype tactics, rosy promises and huge goal setting when in reality most people are just not ready. Not to mansion that people are not thought to use their true mental faculties in the right way in order to have real result. Instead because of misunderstanding people get caught in a trap between hoping and dreaming, while in reality their mind is switched off. In today’s wellness industry the approach in most cases equals to the crazy situation of putting people through programs for which they are not ready. It is like asking a 25 years old male to run 100 metres sprint under 10 seconds without the proper preparation. It just can’t be done. First he has to go through intense preparation program and then he can do it. It is the same with setting goals and helping people to progress in life. There needs to be a practical step by step approach.
- Too much emphasis is placed on the emotional side and power of people in today’s wellness industry and too little on the real and practical way of achieving the desires which gives us the real juice of life. The feeling of success and victory we all strive for. There is one huge missing peace in the industry today. It is called self awareness. If a person is not on the right mental and emotional state, he can never absorb and make real use of all the programs out there. There are many programs which will help you in all areas of life, but you need to be ready for them. You need to be mentally progressed to that level. And the fact is in most cases you are just not there yet.
- That is what I want to do with T&S. To introduce practical system for every person in connection with his current state, so I can help him to find power to make a difference. Not just to be positive in a way that in the long term doesn’t help him achieve his goals. Everyone of us can win, but first we need to make the right use of all the weapons we were given since birth. In most cases we just forget the basics and strive to go forward on a wrong base. That leads only to frustration and disappointment. There are no short cuts to victory but there are right ways. Take the right way now and you will win.

The lack of balance between thought and action
I will assume that you have already went through my welcome page, and that as a result of that you are beginning to understand what is T&S all about. There are many reasons for me to emphasize on the thinking process as crucial part of success. As you will begin to realize from future articles of mine, the thinking process is where it all begins, good or bad. But before we go into details with that, the article that you are about to read, has a mission to save you from a trap so many people fall into. To be more exact, the nature of that trap is described in short with three words: too much thinking. Yes it sounds strange doesn’t it? Especially bearing in mind that I will emphasize a lot on the importance of thinking as a key to success. Where is than the cause of that confusing statement? I want to point out in this article the value of action in harmony with the right thought. I know that in many teachings, including all the hype around the Law of Attraction, too much has being said about the importance of thinking. And I believe there are sound reasons for that. But still something is missing. It’s like we have a situation where too much attention is put to one key piece of the puzzle called success. Even if that piece is the core without the proper usage of the other ones we can’t complete it, right? When we have a clear picture in our minds and plan with which to achieve what we desire we are ready to win, but without the action nothing will happen. And this is where the tricky part comes. If we truly believe deep down inside that we will succeed we will take action. But too often when people reach the action face and don’t take action they get frustrated and let all the energy they have build up to explode into frustration and self pity even. It is all about progression. The trick with the mind is that we can so easily lose control especially when we are not conditioned to the level needed to make the most of our thoughts. It’s hard to achieve the balance. Desire is a mighty force but it should be controlled so we can make the most of it. Usually people take too much action and too little thinking or the opposite. The explanation for this is that the longer we stay in one state, let’s say lack of action and too much thinking the more tension builds up and at one point we have an explosion. That is true in the reversed case when we did to many things without thinking. WE realize how much more efficient we could have be and unconsciously go to the other extreme and reduce the action part too much. Change, even for the good can be quite stormy if we are not aware what are we again. That is why this article goes out to the world now. Because timing is always crucial. People do too much action and little thinking. Through movies like the secret we saw massive misunderstanding between people and a swing too much on the thinking site. That site is important but it’s doomed without the action. In many teachings the part with the balance is missed, because of the desire of wise man to make it easier for people to grasp the idea and get going. In the end there is no result. To have the best of both worlds is not easy and I want to make it clear in the beginning because I know that all other of my articles that will follow will have no impact at all if you are not aware of the importance of the balance of the action and thinking. This is the key to know that you are engaged consciously and subconsciously in your desire to action. Too much has been written on the power of the subconscious mind. I won’t go in to details about my opinion concerning this topic. I will just point out that the best way for you to know if you truly are moving ahead towards your desire is to see if your are emotional about it. When you are you will take action. There is no exception to that rule. The more aware you become of these connections the more you can tap into your true potential. To know is one thing, to understand is something else, to be or let’s say to believe is the end goal. Because than the action comes. Watch your actions daily and you will know in what state of mind you are and where are you going. Give yourself at least half of a hour and think about everything you read now. Because that is why people didn’t make the Law of Attraction work. They thought a lot about it but didn’t make it happen. They didn’t believe deep enough. They didn’t take any action and in the end that energy and effort backfired, and from frustration they just gave food to the believe which held them back. The believe that this is not true, that they can’t win. Because of action towards that believe, they didn’t do anything which I know sound silly but is an action itself. Action based on the believe we want out.
I know it sounds a little bit complicated but if you put aside time and effort in to really understanding these lines, you will realize the tool I am giving to you and will be able to use the power, that comes with that tool in the most effective way
