I want you to stop what you're doing right now and relax with me for just a moment. For just a moment stop worrying about all the pressure you're under, the current economic crisis, the bills you have to pay, the family drama you have to endure...
And for just a moment, imagine your perfect life. Does it seem like a daydream? Something unattainable? A fairytale? Well if you're bruised and battered by life you probably think so.
Many people completely give up on their hopes and dreams and settle for the life they have... created by their circumstances. But what if I told you it doesn't have to be that way? What if you were not only given permission to dream again, but had the "tools" to actually see what you want most become a reality before your very eyes? Seem too good to be true? I wouldn't blame you if you said "yes."
But, it's not. And in this article, I want to give you some PRACTICAL and PROVEN things you can do right now that will significantly impact your life for the better. Willing to give it a shot? Good.
First you need to understand what's at work in your mind and how your imagination is CURRENTLY helping to create your present reality. You see, what you imagine on a consistent basis tends to become a reality. That's because your subconscious, which doesn't know the difference between what's real and what's vividly imagined, starts to work to make what you think about consistently a reality. Especially when you feel very strongly about something.
Ever hear the old cliché "a self-fulfilling prophecy?" That's what's going on with you. When you consistently imagine negative outcomes and circumstances, that's what your subconscious works to make real for you.
But the good news is it works the other way too.
When you consistently imagine what you want most (more wealth, better relationships, weight loss, etc.), your subconscious is there to make it real.
But how do you do that? Well, here's a tried and true 4-step strategy you can begin using right now to change your life for the better. Here we go...
1. Repetition
The key is to regularly repeat your "daydream" to yourself every day. You can write it on an index card and carry it with you. You can make up a little story or poem or song about it and repeat it to yourself (that’s what I do; I make up affirmation jingles for myself). Close your eyes and imagine what you want for a few minutes each day. And when you do, you want to...
2. Be the Star
Play your dream like a movie in your mind. Be the star. See yourself doing or accomplishing or enjoying what you want most. Enjoy it. Make it yours. You're the director. Create the movie you want most and watch it unfold. And while you do that, make sure you...
3. Flood It with Emotion
It's critical that you FEEL what you want most. The key to unlocking your subconscious mind's potential to bring you good things is to repeat strongly-felt desires over and over. That's how you're subconscious knows what to focus on. But in addition to feeling it, you also want to...
4. Make It Vivid
The more detailed and colorful you can make your desire, the more focused your subconscious will be in making it a reality for you. Make it as specific as possible.
There you go. If you will commit to practicing this 4-step process, you'll soon begin to see what you want most beginning to unfold before your very eyes. Start with something small, like breaking an annoying habit, and build your confidence. You'll soon feel the exhilaration so many others have felt at finding the keys to obtaining real happiness.
Now all you have to do is DO IT – and that’s where most people fall short. You have to do it every day. It doesn’t have to be work though. As I said earlier, make up a story or song or poem or jingle that you can repeat to yourself. Make it something you enjoy. That’s what I do. I’ve made up these affirmation jingles (just like the jingles you hear on radio and TV), and I sing them to myself – feeding myself positive thoughts all day long. The best part is it requires NO work or special time. They just get stuck in my head and once they are anchored there, my subconscious does the rest.
Go ahead. Give it a try – you’ll thank me for it, I promise.

The Hard Truth About Soft-Skills
There are 350,000 opinions (books) on “leadership” on Amazon. Corporate America can’t seem to draw a consensus on what leadership is so it’s really no big surprise that Corporate America can’t figure out what soft-skills are and why they are important either. You know, for being such a dominating force in the world of business, we really don’t have a clue about the stuff that REALLY makes business run.
