<p>Personally I still refer to the book &#8220;The Secret&#8221;, have manifest some things in my life I probably wouldn&#8217;t have without this great knowledge, but something still seemed to be missing. I have been going back over the book trying to figure out if I was misinterpreting something or maybe just not following through, but I was convinced I was.  I knew there had to be more to it, and I found it with this program.  Amazing.</p>
<h3>Bob Proctor – one of the key figures in  “The Secret”- believes that the Law of Attraction is incomplete, and for  the first time reveals the 11 Forgotten Laws that will finally uncover  the Law’s true potential.</h3>
<p>This program will tie it all together.    But don&#8217;t take my word for it.  <a href="    *  If you want to quickly find answers to your most pressing life decisions, this is a guaranteed way to get them and get them fast.     * Upward Bound Thinking: the quickest, easiest way to unleash a positive whirlwind that will rapidly attract a flurry of positive coincidences.

		<description><![CDATA[This is growth in action.  The more persistent you are, the more you will learn and grow.  So Grow for your goal with blinders on and you will achieve!  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Key-to-Success.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-173" title="Key to Success" src="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Key-to-Success.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="111" /></a>Have you ever held back on doing something because you were afraid of failure?  Most people have!  Let’s face it; no one likes to fail.  None of us likes to feel like we’re ineffective, weak or lacking in any way, and that’s exactly how failure makes us feel.</p>
<p>I remember as a young boy playing football with my older brother and his older friends.  I was so afraid that I was going to drop the ball if my brother threw it to me.  I was afraid of letting him down.  I didn&#8217;t want the ball to come anywhere near me.  I later realized that everyone dropped one sometimes, and that if I did drop one, I would be better prepared for the next one.</p>
<p>It  may surprise you to know that failure doesn’t exist – until YOU say it does.  In the dictionary, failure has several definitions:  1)  a failing to do or perform  2)  a state of inability to perform a normal function adequately  3)  a fracturing or giving way under stress  4)  a lack of success.</p>
<p>Look carefully at those definitions and you’ll probably realize they have one thing in common when it comes to goal achievement:  failure is a PERCEPTION.</p>
<p>If you believe you have failed, then you have.  If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t.  If you believe you can’t handle the pressure of achieving your goals, you can’t.  If you believe you’re not successful, you aren’t.  Failure only exists in your own mind!  The moment you decide to <em>give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.</em></p>
<p>But what if you never do that?  What if you continue working toward your goals, one step at a time for as long as it takes?  What if it makes you better, stronger?  There’s no failure then, is there?</p>
<p>This insight should be very encouraging if you’ve been working toward goals and not yet seeing positive results.  Simply keep going and you cannot fail! You will be amazed by how much you will learn and grow.</p>
<p>Here are three tips to help you stay strong and focused on your goals:</p>
<p>1)    Never give yourself an out.  Most people do this without even realizing it.  They are willing to work hard on achieving their goals, until the going gets too rough or their motivation dwindles.  Don’t do that!  Commit to making your goals happen, no matter what!  Never quit, never contemplate admitting failure, and never lose your inner determination.</p>
<p>2)    Don’t get hooked on a specific time frame for completion.  It’s okay to set a general timeline, but be aware that some circumstances will be beyond your control, so you can’t say for sure when your goal will be achieved.  If you do that, you’re just setting yourself up for failure!  Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed, but then take it a day at a time and focus on making progress, not reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.  You can and will always want to create new goals anyway.</p>
<p>3)    Finally, be sure that you don’t view obstacles and setbacks as failures.  The two are completely different.  An obstacle, setback or delay means only one thing:  it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet.  That’s it!  It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals.  It simply means you’re not done yet.  You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way around or through the obstacle.</p>
<p>This is growth in action.  Fail your way to your goal.  The more persistent you are, the more you will learn and grow.  So Grow for your goal with blinders on and you will achieve!</p>
<p>Self Empower,</p>

You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifice]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was trying to think of a new topic to add to my blog this week, but distractions kept getting in the way of my focus time, or should I say I was allowing distractions in, because as we know with self empowerment we do have control of our own time and if we choose to let distractions in it should be for a good, positive reason right?   &lt;laughs&gt;   Anyway, to make a long story short I received an email from my wife Sue that I found to be very enlightening and refreshing and I thought it would be something great to share on this blog.  She carbons me in on inspiring emails that she sends to her co-workers on a regular basis, so I own her big time for this one. <img src='http://www.terryposter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />    I hope you enjoy as much as I did.   Self empower,</p>
<p>Terry Poster<a href="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Inner-Light1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-169" title="Inner Light" src="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Inner-Light1.jpg" alt="" width="126" height="84" /></a></p>
<h1><strong>Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You</strong></h1>
<p>There comes a time when  you must stand alone.</p>
<p>You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own  dreams.</p>
<p>You must be willing to make sacrifices.</p>
<p>You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that  your final goal can be achieved.</p>
<p>Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.</p>
<p>There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your  own realities.</p>
<p>Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.</p>
<p>Be confident enough that you won&#8217;t settle for a compromise just to get  by.</p>
<p>Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow,  develop, and find your true sense  of purpose in this life.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t stand in someone else&#8217;s shadow when it&#8217;s your sunlight that should  lead the way</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Visualization1.gif"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-138" title="Visualization" src="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Visualization1-150x150.gif" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I just want to talk a little about visualization today.   I think a big reason people don&#8217;t reach their desired goals and destinations is that they don&#8217;t see themselves being there.  They may be excited by the potential of a given goal or desire and start out like gang busters, but don&#8217;t or can&#8217;t visualize an end.  I feel this is vital.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll give a personal example of this.  Several years ago I had joined a network marketing company that still has today amazing products and a very good pay plan.   Like everyone else that starts a new endeavor I was very excited and couldn&#8217;t soak up enough information and couldn&#8217;t wait to get started so I attended a seminar they were hosting in Chicago and took along a couple of people that I had recently introduced to the company and signed up under me.   Well the seminar was awesome, and I hinged on all the success stories of both the products and the financial success stories and could actual visualize myself on that stage telling my story in the very near future.  Nothing was going to stop me.</p>
<p>During a break at the seminar I went outside with the two people I had come with and one of them commented.  &#8220;I hope this thing works.&#8221;   I looked him kind of shocked by his comment, and just said.  &#8220;Hey, I know this thing works, and I am going to make a lot of money in this business.&#8221;   Well to make a long story short I went on to earn a six figure income in this business within eighteen months and I was up on that stage sharing with others my accomplishments.  The other two people hung in there and eventually quit, making very little money and winding up more in debt, because I believe they just couldn&#8217;t see their selves there.  Visualization is so powerful.</p>
<p>Let me give you a visualization exercise you can try right where you are.   Stand up straight  and with your feet spread out a few feet apart point your right arm straight out with your index finger pointed out.   Now with out moving your feet twist your arm around and see how far your right arm will go and take note.  Now, close your eyes and visualize for 20 seconds or so,  you spinning your right arm to where it is pointing completely straight behind you without moving your feet.   Now do it.   You went farther than the first time didn&#8217;t you?  Even if you didn&#8217;t reach the point was completely behind you like you visualized you were able to go farther then the first time.   This is the power of visualization at work.</p>
<p>Now practice this with your goals and dreams and practice it everyday.    Put pictures up or create a dream wheel like I talked about in a previous post and put these thing in your subconscious mind, but practice closing your eyes for a few minutes everyday and seeing your desires manifested.  It works.  If you can see it, it will come.  This technique has helped me and so many other people accomplished things they never dreamed of before.   Don&#8217;t take my word for it, try and you&#8217;ll see the results.  I&#8217;d love to hear your success stories.  Contact me on the contact link on this blog and I will get back to you.  I&#8217;d love to post your successes right here on my blog as well.  Dream big!</p>
<p>To your success,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Self-empowerment2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-111" title="Self empowerment" src="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Self-empowerment2.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="94" /></a>If you’ve ever been stuck in a rut of inertia before, you probably know the sense of helpless futility that takes over your life.  You want your life to change, but you feel powerless to do anything about it yourself.  You may find yourself constantly making plans to improve your life, but never quite getting around to taking action because it seems so intimidating. You even know you procrastinate, but you still linger in lethargic thought.</p>
<p>Though taking action can intimidate and frighten you, but it can also empower you!  If you learn to use it effectively, it can provide the fuel to keep you moving forward toward creating  fulfilling life circumstances.  When you do this, you realize that there was never anything to fear in the first place, and you’ll never get stuck again!  You just have to realize that with many things in life, taking that first step and getting started is always the hardest part, but once in motion, there is no stopping momentum.</p>
<p>Below are three simple steps that show you how to get started:</p>
<p>1)    First, be sure you understand that your life is the way it is right now because of your hesitation in taking action!  It is a fact that everyone is where there are in there life because of the thoughts and actions.  This is important, because you’ll understand the importance of moving forward no matter how anxious it makes you feel at first.  It is only up from here.</p>
<p>Then, decide on one action to take to get the ball rolling.  Think about your life right now, and ask yourself which situations you want to change first.  You might choose your career, relationships, health, financial situation, or anything else that makes you feel powerless and stuck.  Then think about one simple action you can take to inspire some positive change.  It doesn’t have to be a huge action, just SOMETHING to start building momentum. Remember this quote by Jim Rohn-&#8221;Success is just a few small disciplines practiced everyday.&#8221;</p>
<p>2)    Once you’ve decided on your action step, you’ll have to push yourself to take it no matter what!  This may seem incredibly difficult or even scary, but remember that most often the things you fear are not going to happen.  The Acronym for fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.  In fact, you may not even have a clear reason for feeling scared – you’re just afraid of the “unknown”.  Give yourself a pep talk or push yourself in any way you have to in order to move forward at least a little bit.  After you take that first step, be sure to let go of any expectations of the things that will happen because of it, and allow yourself to feel great simply because you did something about it!</p>
<p>3)    Repeat with the same step, and/or others.  Once you’ve taken one step forward, you’ll need to keep pushing yourself to take others.  Consider this:  Even if you take a hundred small steps in a month, you’ll be putting forth positive effort to make changes in your life, which cannot help but bring about better circumstances!  In a very short period of time, you will be amazed on how empowered you feel.</p>
<p>The good news is that taking action quickly begins to build momentum.  Just as chronic non-action can create a cycle of negativity and stagnation over time, being proactive can create a positive cycle that continues to grow!  It gets easier the more you do it, which eventually makes it seem almost effortless – and you continue to empower and strengthen yourself with every step you take.</p>
<p>Look for new goals and challenges after every accomplishment so you will continue to strive and grow to become more and more empowered with each achievement.  Congratulations, you have taken a first step by reading this article.   To your continued success,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goals are the <a href="http://9f159nmgb09u5o940un0xlxgf3.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">road maps to our success</a>.  Someone once said to me &#8220;if you don&#8217;t have a goal or destination in mind, you are just on a Sunday drive.  How true is that?  Think about that for a minute.  If you got in a care and started to drive without a goal or destination, where would you end up?  No one knows for sure.  It&#8217;s the same with your life.  Without a goal, and a plan to achieve that goal, you have know idea where you will end up.</p>
<p>First there are some things you need to sort out when considering goals.  You need to of course decide <strong><em>what</em></strong>you want and then it is just as important to have a time frame to achieve it in.   The more cleary you define your goals and time frames, the easier your task will become.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For example, Let&#8217;s say your goal is to make money from home so that you can quit your job.  This is great, but you need to drill it down to details, then create bench marks, and then a plan to achieve this.</p>
<p>First you need to decide how much money you need to make before you can quit your job.  Then you have to have a reasonable time frame to accomplish this goal. Be careful not to make your goal to hard, because it can cause you to become to frustrated and most likely give up. Give it ample time and keep it reachable.</p>
<p>Next create goals within your goals.  For example, if your goals time frame is one year, create daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly bench mark goals to aid your process and then have a plan to achieve each.</p>
<p>Your plan is what you have to do to achieve your goals.  When planning, ask yourself, &#8220;What do I have to do today to accomplish my weekly goal, and what do I have to do each week to accomplish my monthly goals, what do I have to do each month to accomplish my quarterly goals, and each quarter to achieve my ultimate goal?&#8221;</p>
<p>If your not achieving your bench mark goals, you can then make adjustments to assure that youwill stay on track on the way to your ultimate goal.  Have a plan, work your plan and your goals will take shape.  It works.</p>
<p>This of course is just a brief overview of goals and goal setting.  If you would like a great book on goals to inspire you become all you can be,<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743525078?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=terpossguitos-20&amp;link_code=as3&amp;camp=211189&amp;creative=373489&amp;creativeASIN=0743525078" target="_blank"> click here </a><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-36" title="achievement" src="http://www.terryposter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/achievement.jpg" alt="achievement" width="113" height="170" />for my recommendation.</p>
