How to learn from mistakes


Many a success have been built upon an apparent failure. Everyone makes mistakes and many people beat themselves up over the mistakes of the past. Do you cling to your mistakes, hold them to you, clasp them in your arms? I want you to let them go and know that they were only misunderstood experiences which could still bring good.

Instead of of labeling those experiences as mistakes, rename them success and know that something good can still come from those experiences.

One way to handle apparent mistakes in your life is to give them the light touch. Instead of attacking your problems like a fierce winter storm, remind yourself that is the light touch of a warm spring breeze that dissipates the snow.

As long as you hold onto your mistakes, magnify them, and feed them with the attention of your thoughts, they will be with you and will continue to GROW in your life. Stop dramatizing your difficulties. Stop talking about them. Release them and take hold of your thinking. Deliberately think, "I cannot recapture the past, but I have right now and all the "right nows" ahead. This experience has come to teach me something good I need to know, so I accept the good from it and all else fades away."

Give your mistakes the light touch and look for the hidden kernel of "good" within what seemed a negative experience.

100 Things You Want in 2007



Take out a piece of paper RIGHT NOW. At the top of it put "100 Things I want in 2007" .

Consider the Possibilities is the 2Nd principle of the Dynamic Transitioning programming. This is a very big topic. Today I want to focus on your dreams and desires and knowing what you want.

Many of my readers are very clear about the course of their lives. They are goal setters almost to a fault. Everything is planned out (which is why Dynamic Transitioning also includes "Recalibration"!). Others are not as clear. And finally, transitions are all about changing direction or incorporating new dreams, desires and goals into the picture, whether those transitions are planned by you or thrust upon you from the outside.

Have you decided what you want for 2007? Identifying your desires is the creative part of the "in-working" process. It is actually an intense and meaningful activity, because your desires are the seeds of success. Have you ever met someone who is really going places? That person usually has a desire for the highest and best in life. I want to help you expand and intensify your constructive desires and find success in 2007.

A wise person said, "Desire is God tapping at the door of your mind, trying to give you greater good." I love that! We all want "greater good" and here it is being offered to us as a gift!

When you Consider the Possibilities I want you to write down the first 100 things that come to mind - no matter how big or small or how crazy it may sound at the time. This is YOUR list - no one else is going to read it. Always dreamed of owning a baseball team? Write it down! Want to raise cocker spaniels? Write it down! What to swim the English Channel? Write it down! Double your income? Write it down!

Publish a book, visit long, lost relatives, take your husband to Italy, sail around the world, get a promotion, fly a kite, buy a new car, go bowling with the kids, start a business, give $10,000 to charity.....it's fun and it's creative and it's essential if you want to succeed.

There is almost a magical power in thinking of your desires, constructively writing them down, and asking for the best to manifest. Seem too simple? Great truth and powerful secrets often appear simple. In fact, that's why they're overlooked by the average person.

Now write your list of 100 things you want for 2007!
