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.
