Pollyanna or Truth You Decide

Believe It or Not?

According to one dictionary, the definition of Pollyanna is a person who is unreasonably or illogically optimistic.

We’ve all heard sayings like, look for the silver lining, turn lemons into lemonade, if at first you don’t succeed, and many many others, but how did these sayings get started? Was it unreasonable or illogical [tag-tec]optimism[/tag-tec], or did they arise out of universal truths.

If it isn’t clear to you whether to put faith in such statements, one way to decide is to ask yourself, “which feels better?”

Would it feel better to focus your attention on hope and possibility, or not. Would you have more [tag-tec self help motivation]motivation[/tag-tec] to help yourself and those around you, or not.

Believe it or not, it’s up to you. What do you think?

Got Risk? A Little Motivation Can Go a Long Way

Tag: Personal GrowthBeth Banning

Life = Risk So Just Say Yes!

Risk of failure? Yes!  Risk of looking bad? Yes! Risk having confidence in yourself when no one else does? Yes! Risk of looking too good where people might be jealous of you. Yes! All these risks and more are worth taking when you go for what you want and stick with it until you get it.

No matter who you are, your level of education, or your standing in the community, you are–and always have been–capable of achieving what you deeply desire.

Life involves risk and the life you truly want may even be a little riskier.  So here’s a little [tag-tec]Self-Help Motivation[/tag-tec] video to keep you inspired and moving towards the life you want.

Enjoy!

Certainly, every human being is filled with tremendous potential and abilities, yet too often they go unrealized because of our failure to break free from the social conditions designed to perpetuate avenues of personal failure rather than avenues for actualization and transformation.

What would you be willing to risk to break free from your conditioning and transform your life?


How to Get What You Actually Want

Abundance Quote by Wayne Dyer

Helping yourself to the Law of attraction

If you’ve been around the [tag-tec]self help[/tag-tec] world for any time at all you’ve probably heard about the [tag-tec]Law of Attraction[/tag-tec]? If you have, you most likely know that you’re supposed to focus your attention on what you want. But truly knowing what it is that you do want can sometimes be difficult to determine.

Trying to focus on and manifest something without truly understanding exactly what you want can lead to a great deal of confusion, frustration and sometimes even a desire to give up on the process altogether.

The “do” want and “don’t” want dilemma

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people struggle to identify exactly what they want. Here is a [tag-tec]Self help motivation[/tag-tec] tip: It’s essential to remember that it’s not as important to use the “right words” as it is to clearly understand what you “do want”–rather than what you “don’t want”.

Asking for what you want consists of much more than simply complaining about what you don’t want. Be careful to focus on only the positive aspects of your desires. Many people focus on mixed messages, such as, “I wish I could find a better job so I could move out of this crummy house” or “I want to lose weight so I can stop feeling so bad all of the time.”

Can you see how these message those focus on what you don’t want? Do you want to lose weight or do you want to be your optimal weight, do you want to stop feeling bad or do you want to feel good? Without clarifying your desires, you will not be able to actually focus on what you “do” want.

Maintain a high energy flow

“A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means.” ~ Henry Hazlitt

Be conscious of how you hold your wants, wishes and desires. Focusing on the positive, “do want” aspects will bring much more passion to your life and your desires;

  • “I’m finding a new job that will allow me to experience the home of my dreams” Wouldn’t desire like that be thrilling to focus on?
  • Or “I’m eating and exercising in ways that allow me to experience vibrant health.” Now that’s something to get excited about!

Getting what you want starts by focusing on clear intentions stated in positive language that would be exciting for you to get! And remember, like anything else practice is the key.

Why You Don’t Really Want $1 Million

Tag: Personal Growth,Self Help MotivationBeth Banning

Have you ever wanted something, tried very hard to get it, only to be let down by how quickly your motivation faded? If so, you’re not alone. Many people lose their [tag-tec]self help motivation [/tag-tec]quickly, but there is good news. Here are 3 steps you can take immediately that will help you stand up, dust yourself off and [tag-tec]get back the motivation[/tag-tec] you’ve lost.

Step Number One: Expand Your View

Oftentimes when we want something, we focus on particular actions to get us there. When you focus all your energy on one specific plan, and then those actions don’t produce the results you want, you’re bound to [tag-tec]feel disappointed[/tag-tec]. And disappointment is a [tag-tec]motivation killer[/tag-tec].

There is an Alternative

Step Number Two: Become an Explorer

The best way we know of to deal with this kind of disappointment is to become an explorer by discovering your underlying values. What are you hoping to experience that had you want this particular thing in the first place?

Understanding the essence of your goal will give you a new perspective. No matter what happens you’ll be able to feel good about your efforts and start noticing that you’re probably closer to what you really want than you were before.

Let’s say your goal is to make $1 million. Please raise your hand if you’d like $1 million. Is your hand raised? if it is then, We suggest that it’s not really the $1 million that you want, and we can prove it.

If you 1-millioncouldn’t spend it would you still want a million of those little green pieces of paper?

Now let’s explore the idea of having $1 million. Figure out what you want at a core level that had you pick this goal in the first place.

Maybe you want to experience freedom. Or perhaps you’d like to be able to contribute to your family or the world in a big way. It could be that you want to feel a deep sense of satisfaction from buying your mother a new house. What ever you discover for yourself, THIS is what you really want.

This is called inspiration–and Inspiration is the best source of true and lasting[tag-tec] self help motivation[/tag-tec] that there is. As we all know motivation is essential in accomplishing any specific goal. So the question becomes: How do you keep what inspires you about your goal in the forefront of your mind. This leads nicely to…

Step Number Three: Create A Conscious, Strategy-Free Intention Statement.

Strategy-free means there are no specific actions added to your intention statement. No timelines, no concrete results. A conscious strategy free intention will help guide you toward what you really want any help you stay motivated in the process.

So if you want it to experience freedom to do what ever you want in your life. And you’d also like to contribute to the world in a big way, and heck maybe you do want to buy your mom a big house and feel that kind of satisfaction. Then what you do is create a statement that expresses this for you.

It could sound something like: I intend to create a life where I can contribute to the world in a big way and always experience freedom and great satisfaction.

When you create a clear strategy free intention, it opens the door to a wide variety of options that you might not have been aware of otherwise.

When you have a lot options available to you, you are much less likely to become disappointed if one particular strategy doesn’t work out.

So the next time you want something, take these three steps.  Number one: Expand Your View, Number two: Become an Explorer and Number three: always Create a Conscious, strategy-free [tag-tec]Intention statement[/tag-tec] that will keep you inspired and gently draw you forward to what you want.
