10 Steps
To A Successful Life
by Lynn Robinson
1. MAKE YOUR INTUITION YOUR
ALLY
How does your intuition speak
to you? Do you receive information in words, feelings, a body
sensation? Do you just know?
Ask your intuition questions and pay attention to the answers and
act on the information you
receive.
2. WHAT ARE YOU ENTHUSIASTIC
ABOUT?
The root of the word enthusiasm
is entheos. It literally means "God Within." Just think, when
you feel enthusiastic about
your dreams it means that God is speaking through you and saying
"yes" to your goals! The
feeling of enthusiasm is one of the ways your intuition speaks to
you. What makes you excited,
happy, delighted? What do you look forward to each day? Do more
of it!
.
3. BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR GOALS
We are often quite clear
about what we don't want. Spend time thinking about what you do want.
What does your ideal life
look like? Draw pictures or cut out scenes from magazines that
illustrate the life you
want to create. Write in your journal, envision. Spend time each day
imagining your ideal
life. Envision the details
of that life. Imagine you are living it now. What are you wearing?
What are you feeling? Who
are the people around you? The power is within your mind and heart
to bring forth the new life
you desire.
4. SPEND TIME IN PRAYER AND
MEDITATION
Answers often come to life's
questions through self- reflection. Prayer and meditation are two
ways we have of slowing
down enough to listen to the still, quiet voice of our Higher Self.
Remember that the answers
don't always pop into your mind fully formed as you meditate or
pray. You may
find them slowly evolving
into your consciousness over several days or weeks as you ask for
insight.
5. CREATE POSITIVE SELF TALK
Pay attention to what you
tell yourself about yourself and your life. If the general tone is
hopeful and positive you
feel better and are more optimistic. William James said, "The
greatest discovery of my
generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of
their minds, can changethe
outer aspects of their lives.". It's easier to create a life you
love when you give yourself
affirmative messages.
6. PRACTICE AN ATTITUDE OF
GRATITUDE
Research has shown that the
happiest people are the ones who have gratitude for all that they
have despite their circumstances.
You don't have to postpone happiness until you have achieved
all your goals. Joy is an
inside job. In the Talmud it says, "In the world to come each of us
will be called to account
for all the good things God put on this earth which we refused to
enjoy." Learn to appreciate
the unfolding process of your life, not just the realization of
your dreams.
7. TAKE ACTION
People often get stuck because
they can't figure out how to get from Point A to Point Z. What
is one thing you could do
that would be a next step? Take a class, talk to a friend, read a
book on a topic of interest,
learn a new skill. Take action on what feels exciting to you.
8. LOOK FOR COINCIDENCES
AND SYNCHRONICITIES
It has been said that coincidences
are God's way of remaining anonymous. We often have
serendipity occurring in
our lives as a way to show us we are on the right path. As you trust
your intuitive knowing you'll
find these synchronicities occurring more often.
9. KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE
EBBS AND FLOWS
We often reach success through
a series of ups and downs. When you are in a "down" place and
feeling stuck, know that
it won't last forever. Find some ways to enjoy your life despite the
lull and continue to focus
on what you want.
10. TRUST IN DIVINE ORDER
Maybe you're beginning to
feel as Mother Theresa once did when she said, "I know God will not
give me anything I can't
handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." The Universe
has a perfect plan for your
growth and unfolding as a human being. As you learn to be guided
by your intuition you're
beginning to act on this wisdom from the Universe.
