Jobs and CareersHave you ever wondered why your goals have not been achieved? Stop wondering why you do not achieve success. The answer is simple.
There are two reasons we do not achieve success or reach our stated goals:
* We don't know how, Or
* We don't want to.
Let's begin with the "don't want to." In fact, when most of us are asked to name our goals the first five or six goals we state are not really our goals. Usually we name what we believe others want us to achieve. Our first few goals, those that come to mind immediately, are expectations that others have for us. And, for some reason we feel obligated to adopt their expectations as our own goals.
Begin by writing down the first goals that come to mind. Don't stop to think about them. Just write. Make a list of approximately ten to fifteen goals. They don't have to be big long term goals, although you will probably start out by listing the big ones first. Most of us do. Don't get discouraged. Keep writing. Dig as deep into your thoughts as you can. Now, read your list.
The next step is the hard part. Have the courage to face the truth. As my mother used to warn me, "Don't start believing the lies you tell other people." Think about that for a minute.
As an example, I will use one of my neighbors who has new found happiness. His father was a veterinarian. As the child was growing up his father would take him to the animal clinic with him on Saturday. The father took the young boy into surgery with him. As they would leave the clinic on Saturday afternoons, the father would say something like, "One day you will be doing this." The father sowed the seed of his expectations.
By the time my neighbor was a teenager, both his mother and father assumed their son would follow in the father's footsteps. As the son began to apply to colleges, the mother and father helped him... by always pointing out those schools that had the best veterinary programs. Since the father was paying for the education the son went along with their plans.
Twenty years later when I met the son, now a veterinarian, in his animal clinic I could not help but notice that he handled my cat a little roughly. On another visit I noticed that he pushed my dog away from him with his leg. I'm not saying that the vet did anything really wrong, but I definitely got the impression that he didn't like animals.
Once I discovered that he was a neighbor his family and mine began to meet on social occasions. I have never met anyone who so hated his job and his life. Over time he admitted openly that he never wanted to be a vet. In fact, he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. But, as a teenager he never expressed his desires. Later in life, he followed in his father's footsteps. Of course, there was one big difference in the father and son vets. The father loved his job. The son hated his.
The son never had the courage to face his truth. He would never admit that he disliked treating animals. He would never admit that he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon... for people. The bottom line is simple. The son had achieved his father's goal for him, but had never achieved his own.
Don't get caught in the trap. We have one life. We own our lives. We are responsible for our lives and our choices. Before you state a goal as yours, be certain that it is. Have the courage to face your truth. Unlike the young vet, most of us will fail when trying to achieve a goal for someone else. We won't invest the time or energy because we really don't have the burning desire to achieve it.
Now, go back through you list of stated goals and toss out the expectations of others and find those goals that excite you, that will stir you to action. That will get you over one hurdle towards success.
The other reason we do not achieve our goals or success in an endeavour is that we don't know how. It must be pointed out that there is a big difference in knowledge and know-how. Knowledge comes first. So learn all you need to know about your goal and what it takes to achieve it. Then put the knowledge into action. Actionable knowledge is the father of know-how.
To be a success or to achieve any goal, have the courage to face the truth and learn how to do the tasks necessary to achieve success.***

The Law of Vibration - How it Can Bring Success Into Your Life and Your Business
Now, you may be asking..."What is the Law of Vibration and how can it benefit me personally?"
Well, to explain the law simply, I'll give you an example. "If you're in a good vibration, you can't attract bad energy." Bob Proctor mentions this. The bottom line is, feeling good will bring good things, positive things, experiences, people, relationships, and situations into you life. This includes personal, as well as business. Have you ever experienced being in a downward spiral, or having a "very bad" day?
Something went wrong in the morning, as soon as you awoke, and it started to snowball. You slipped in the shower, the toast burnt, you were late for an important meeting, and then got some unfortunate news at dinner. Has this ever happened to you? I'm sure it has, because we're all human. But, it happens more frequently to some people, or it seems that way when everything is going wrong at once. "When it rains, it pours." You've heard that saying, right? This is usually a negative phrase, unlike when we say "I'm on a roll," usually meaning things are going really well... we're winning the game, getting a pat on the back, found some cash, got a new job, etc. I hope this is making sense and you're understanding more about the Law of Vibration.
So, if we could just change our negative thoughts, meaning we're in a negative vibration, we could start moving toward more positive thoughts, or a more positive vibration. This sounds easy, but it's a little more complicated than that. "Easier said than done," definitely, considering we have somewhere around 45,000 thoughts per day. But, here is exactly how it works:
1) Become aware of what you're saying and thinking. One way to do this is through your emotions. How are you feeling? Frustrated, or angry? Make a mental note of your feelings and the thoughts behind them. Really take notice, because most people who are busy get sidetracked easily, or go from one emotion to another. Write it down if you have.
2) We change our thoughts by changing our words. What type of words do you use? Pay attention to any negative self talk (I'll never accomplish that, I'm sick all the time, Why am I stuck here, etc.) or things that you say to others and the manner in which you're saying them.
3) Once you can monitor your thoughts and words that you use, start to change or replace the negative ones with positive ones. This will slow you down and bring you out of the negative place, and start to make you feel better (changing you emotions). An example would be, when you catch yourself saying "I have a bad headache," cancel that thought . You can actually say, "I cancel that thought," and replace it with, "I'm healing. My body is comfortable, and I'm very relaxed." Really try to focus on something positive, and don't bring attention to any discomfort. Just let it dissolve, and fade into the background. A headache is not important, don't bring any attention to it. You can apply this to any area. If you're always late, or don't like spreadsheets, turn it around. Say instead, "There is always enough time. I'm prepared and ready to go early." You get the idea. Play around with it a little. Say the first thing that comes to mind.
Once you've started working the Law of Vibration in your life, new experiences and positive events will start popping up. It takes a little practice, but well worth any effort you put in. Be patient with yourself. You'll be feeling good, and manifesting in no time using the Law of Vibration.
