Your Fabulously Positive 2011

2011 WILL be a fabulously positive year, IF you decide, plan and act strategically!

If you do nothing different, it will be just another year.

On January 1st I heard some comments that made me cringe, and I am sure you have heard the same or at least similar comments:

• Let's see what this year brings.
• I hope that 2011 will be better than 2010.
• I hope that 2011 will treat us well.

Why did these comments make me cringe? Because they are comments of losers!!

Make sure you have a copy of this book Champions Are Born, Losers Are Made. Read it often! Order it NOW, and when you it arrives in your mailbox, read it EVERY DAY for the first week.

Yes, all of these comments show that:

• The person takes no responsibility for their own life.
• They have a lottery mentally. They live their lives, leaving everything to fate.
• They are day a dreamer.

So just HOW CAN you make sure that 2011 is a fabulously positive year?

1. Decide that this is what you want, and you WILL make it happen. (This is YOU taking responsibility for your own life).
2. Plan your year. Decide what you want to achieve this year, write it down and then write down how you will achieve it.
3. Act on your plan. Break your annual plan down into 12 action parts. Take one part each month this year and DO IT.

Make 2011 a Fabulously Positive Year!

Negative Declarations In Disguise

Do you know that some positive statements are actually negative? This may sound a little strange but let's take a look at a three examples:

1. I am not going to fear this.
2. I am not afraid
3. I am determined to get out of debt.

In the first declaration, what you really mean is that you are not going to allow fear to take hold of you, which sounds positive right?

However your brain catches that word "not" and turns this statement into negative ones. Why? Your brain focuses on two main negative words in those declarations: not and fear (afraid). Both statement No 1 and the sentence above this paragraph fall into these traps.

Declaration No 2 is the same. Again there are two negative words - not and afraid.

But what about the third declaration? I am determined to get out of debt. Isn't this not a positive statement?

The word "debt" stimulates a very negative image in your mind right? That is because the word debt really is a negative word and is definitely linked to negative emotions and experiences in most people's minds.

So you really don't want to use the word "debt" when making positive statements or affirmations.

Here is a real positive statement you could use instead:

• I am financially free!  or
• Every bill is paid before time every month.
• I am living the marvelous financially free lifestyle

Destroy That Dream Stealing Enemy!

Have you noticed that there is an enemy in this world who is out to steal your dream, crush your hopes and even destroy your life?

I am sure that you have.

Where does this enemy concentrate his attacks?
Your mind is the real battle ground. If the enemy can control your mind, he has your life.

This may sound rather drastic, but it is true. Everything you and I do, we first plan in our minds.

What are your enemy's main weapons?
What is the most difficult thing to battle in your mind? Words right? Sound simple enough, yet words ARE the weapons that the enemy of your dreams uses.

What is your enemy's strategy?
Everything that you think comes from either an external source or an internal source.
 
Ok, that sounds obvious right? But here's a questions: What feeds your internal source?

Impressions come to impact your life from what you hear, see, touch, smell and taste.
Your reactions to these external impressions and your decisions concerning them go into your subconscious mind. This is what is feeding your internal source.

So then how does the enemy work? He tries to steer you into making negative decisions so that you will store negative words and impressions (prejudices) into your subconscious mind. These negative decisions create fear in your mind and heart.

Your future decisions will now be based on fear. Thus this enemy is able to stop you from achieving your dreams because of this fear which paralyzes you.

How to reverse the curse of fear: You retrain your brain by -

• Deliberately exposing yourself to positive faith building impressions. This includes listening to, watching and reading motivational and inspirational teachings that will build your faith.
• Deliberately making positive decisions concerning the impressions you receive every day.
• Deliberately rejecting the negative impressions. This means you will refuse to listen to negative conversations and watch violent, negative movies and programs.
• Deliberately embracing the positive impressions. This also includes choosing carefully the friends you spend the most time with.

In other words:
Carefully choose the things you allow to influence your life.

The choice IS yours. You are in control of what goes into your subconscious mind the moment you decide to be.
