Three Success Keys of Attaining Your Heart's Desires

Here's an article I found helpful and I hope you do too. And I also hope you can take some time to relax and enjoy these busy holiday times.

Three success keys of attaining your heart's desires
By: Basavaraj Udapudi


The one thing that is required to accomplish something worthwhile in life is FOCUS - the ability to hold the imagination of your desire, against all odds, putting forth every effort towards its attainment. Such an activity embodies three powerful keys of attainment as follows.

1) First desire what you want as intensively as you can. The very first requisite for attaining a target is that you must have a burning desire for it. There is a world of difference between a wish and a desire. Wishing is a feeble longing for something. "I wish I had time enough to do so and so'' You wish it but don't strive for the target of your wish and naturally you conveniently forget all about it as soon as the wishful longing passes away. Or at best you give it a half-hearted try and leave it somewhere in between. On the contrary a desire is an intense urge, dire hunger, a persistent tension from which you cannot escape except working for its fulfilment with all your might and strength. So, desire -intense desire-is the first requisite for achieving anything worthwhile. The person with intense desire for his objective thinks day and night, how he can achieve it and accordingly works for it with persistence and perseverance till his desire is fulfilled.

2) Maintain your focus on the target. Focus is sustained imagination of your desire using affirmations. The most effective way to maintain focus on your target is through REPETITION. It doesn't mean doing affirmations all day long.

a) Doing affirmations before you start your day and again when you are ending your day are great. If you have problems during the day that put you on a negative level, do more affirmations. Using this tool during critical periods of doubt can help get you through. Each time you do affirmations, you re-focus your mind to boost your moral and keep you going positively.

b) Manifesting your reality-This means realizing that everything you think, believe or feel, plays a major part in following through with anything you are. What you think determines your reality. The universal principles of life, such as the ones described in the e-book (Success Wisdom) will ALWAYS work, if you just follow through.

c) Monitor Your Emotions-In order to send out the positive vibrations that is an integral part of success, your emotions have to be in check. Feelings that are negative shine above the positive. Negative vibrations are created that send out the wrong message. Attracting the right kind people to help you complete your goal is impossible if the vibrations you are sending are negative. The Astral Color Alchemy Process, (as described in Success-Wisdom e-book) is an effective method to use to eliminate the negative thinking. Thinking of your goals, repeating your affirmations, or remembering a pleasant memory from the past that made you feel really good works for many. You may have to think of some event that was enjoyable or something that made you grateful. Creating positive feelings and emotions about your journey to your "burning desire" will make your trip easier. Put yourself back in sync with your goals in order to continue to gain ground on a positive, progressive level.

3. Drive is the power to continue to move forward from wishing to reaching the object of your desire. Your subconscious has the power to endure the rigors of getting what you want. You help create that power. Nothing in life happens without action. Wishing by itself won't make it happen. It takes following through and keeping the finish line in sight for success to happen.

Using Affirmations

I wanted to pass along this bit of information I read about at BeliefNet.com.

Affirmations are a simple tool we can use to feel better about ourselves. By repeating aloud or silently the positive things we want...Read more

I've used affirmations before and always felt pretty good while doing so. But then I seem to get off track and forget. Then I'll feel okay for a while, but my goals keep slipping further away and I wonder why. I think I really need to do the affirmations on a daily basis. Right now I'm using some that I found in the book, "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind," by Dr. Joseph Murphy. I'm still reading it and suggest you read it too. It's fascinating how our subconscious is really capable of anything if we give it the right messages. And affirmations are one way to do it. If you repeat something enough, your subconscious makes a note and makes it real. There are many examples in this book that can only be described as miracles. I'm only half-way through and am looking forward to learning more. Meanwhile, I thought I would pass on the above link to give you some affirmations to help heal old wounds. I've written about it here before. We need to rid ourselves of all the junk and old beliefs that keep us from acquiring the abundance that we truly deserve.

I'll be back with more later, but try the affirmations. At the very least, they'll make you feel more confident. And confidence leads to other positive changes.

Until next time, be prepared for the best.
