Attitude is actually a creative cycle that begins with your choice of thoughts. You do choose your thoughts and that choice is where your attitude originates. As you internalize ideas or become emotionally involved with you thoughts, you create the second stage in forming an attitude; you move your entire being -mind and body- into a new" vibration".
Your conscious awareness of this vibration is referred to as "feeling"-Your feelings are then expressed in actions or behaviors that produce the various results in your life.
Positive results are always the effect of a positive attitude. Attitude and results are inseperable. They follow one another like night follows day. What I mean by that is; one is the cause, the other is the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this "cause and effect" relationship, it is called the law of cause and effect. Simply stated; if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms you will achieve positive results. Ralph Waldo Emerson reiterated that same point when he said, "A person is what they think about all day long." The results you achieve in life are nothing more than an expression of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Take a close look at your life and evaluate the results you are achieving in various areas. See if you are able to relate your attitude to your results.
Winning and losing are opposite sides of the same coin.- and that coin is attitude. There are many things wrong in this world; unfortunately that is all some people are able to see. Those who view the world in this light are often unhappy and somewhat cynical. Usually, their life is one of lack and limitation and it almost appears as if they move from one bad experience to another. I know people who are like this and I'm certain you do as well.
It would appear as if they were born with a steak of bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude.
Conversely, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make this happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They're in control of their life; they know where they are going and know they will get there. They are the real winners in life and their wins are a matter of choice.
You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Making that simple decision is the first step to a new life. Dorothea Brand once said, "Act as if it were impossible to fail," and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter your circumstances. That active choice will allow other positive people and opportunities to be attracted into your life. Don't wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you were meant to lead.

Developing Core Leadership Skills
Developing Core Leadership skills
Jim Rohn said if you want things to change you have to change.
1. Start with yourself...We all know it is true, you have nothing to give unless you develop yourself. Odds are you will never be a leader if you do not develop Rituals in your life, work on your core values, hold yourself accountable.
Develop your physical energy routine. The basis of all life is energy in motion. How much energy do you have?
How much do you take care of your own body? If physical body is weakened then your vehicle to move you through life will not have the energy to go out and really make things happen in life.
We are not physically healthy and it is from pure laziness that this occurs. when you create routines that are lazy you will get nothing done.
Start a morning routine make this a make or break ritual or habit, if you spend your day at random on how you get things done this ritual will help form better habits for you.
Wake up every morning meditate for 20-30 minutes.
Clear your clutter connect with a deeper awareness.
At the end of every day do the same...
Then build in some form of exercise, yoga, walks, bike rides, ect.
Eat healthy foods, we are all putting in chemicals from foods that are so unhealthy and killing off our cells that give us energy and will to thrive...if you do not feed the temple with foods that will nourish you how long do you think it will take till your temlple is shut down?
Eat Raw goods, fish, vegatables, brown rice, cleanse your body of toxins with Nutritional products that will give your body a chance to restore and repair the damage we are doing to it...This is your temple, you wouldn't go to church and do bad things, then why do you do it to your own temple?
Laziness that is why.....we have become a lazy society...change this...
If you want to operate at peak efficiency avoid alcohol, drugs, oils, fats, chemicalls, it all starts with your body.
#2 Feed the mind
Education process, you can't give what you don't have to give...surround yourself with people that will feed your mind.
By focusing on specific areas you really increase value in your life.
go to mentors ask what are 5 books they read that got them to where they are today.
consume it, direct knowledge of people who are successful.
get rid of negative people in life, really tune them out. If you are surrounded by people who are motivated then there is probably more happiness in your own life.
Core connections you cannot give what you don't have. You must focus and develop yourself.
Be selfish but wisely. grow yourself so you can grow others.
Surround yourself with people who nourish your soul.
It is the process of becomming a leader that develops the skills of being a leader.
that strength in who you are so you have more to give back.
If you are not willing to meet the challenges of becomming a leader then you do not deserve to be a leader. It is for those who want to work through them challenges.
#3. Communication
communication is the basis of relationships, The most important things in life are relationships. whether it is business, partnerships, any life.
Before focusing on other people we must start with ourselves.
Body, core routines (physical exercise), foods you eat, meditation, a body in motion brings consistancy into your life.
Reading, learning, start this and you will watch your life change.
Feed your mind open your heart, now you are ready to serve the master in a much more powerful way.
We are communicating from closed off places, most people are unaware of what is going on outside ourselves.
Our world view has been conditioned by all the things that have happened in our lives. So we are unable to get out of are conditioning.
Step out and percieve the world from another persons eyes, What makes them emotional? is this a sensitive area? do they not care much? feel the world through their eyes. put yourself second remove our bias world view.
When we do this it shapes how we communicate with other people.
What you will se is a beautiful image that happens. You see connection you have never seen before.
2 people coming from ther own world views.
So many people are out there, putting out their views, see this view or that one, there is no connection that can happen. this is important in business and in life.
We are all not actually customers, marketers, we are HUMAN and everyone of us is more or less the same. We all want the same things:
Love
companionship
care
we don't want to experience fear
we all want to give back
We all really want the same things yet so often we go around disconnected from each other trying to get others to see our view. This is impossible if you want to be a real leader.
A real leader sees the world from other peoples views. When you really focus on being your heart more, sense things, pick up things from a totally different way...it will be seen in how we posture ourselves, how you look into the eyes of another, without ever saying a word. This comes when we are more present.
Once we've gone through what I'm talking about it's time to formulate a core purpose for your life.
Every leader is being guided by something. A leader has a purpose to give back to the world it is our job to discover our unique gift and then figure out how to use it to give back to the world it is extra-ordinary.
Before the vision comes to you, what direction you are meant to travel, you need to be incredibly clear and doing all these things above it will emerge your purpose, every part must be in place without clearing all the distractions all the things going on in your life it will not happen.
Life is asking you to go through tough times now, face emotions, face what you don't want to face. then you get the gifts....& man what a gift it is...
HEART CENTERED LEADERSHIP and our new calling that the world is really asking for. It has to do with Finding those gifts.
What do people need now?
What products are there?
What can I fullfill?
What can I do to corospond in those areas?
How does my gift (purpose) corospond with this?
This is one of the most powerful driving forces for the good, I'm not kidding you it is a force more powerful then anything you have ever been taught. When your actual life is in line with your deepest desires, deepest direction, No matter what you do you are going to be successful.
Even if you don't make the money you want to make you are a success.
Leadership is coming from the deepest place and in total alignment with giving back to the world. That is truly a blessing.
We will do the most amazing things with our lives.
Get to the point where we are emotionally clear, energetically powerful enough for your true core gifts to emerge then you pick the best way for you to give back to the world you can almost guarantee something will unfold. Because that is what the world is asking for.
And whe we do this in business those are the best companies, marketers, everyone follows because they are bringing their best to the world. Everyone senses it and feels it.
Again you cannot get there without all these steps.
How do I find my gifts? Ask a friend to tell you 2 things you are the best at?
What areas you excell in, they may say you are so creative, they will tell you...go from there..
Mastering in life is not mastering everything in life. if you want to excell in any one area I guarantee you if you pick one or two things and directly focus on them you will have a direct line of success.
any area you become expert in you create value, this value is for others to know.
Some areas aren't about profit some pay more then others, people become councelers to help people not to get rich.
A leader develops a vision for the world where they see the world as energy contribution. A leader sees the world in a different way.
Money is a direct corelation to value....the more value you provide the more money you make.
Its really important to disassociate our idea of money being a thing...it is paper, really, $20 could be a piece of knowledge, it could be a way of communicating on the phone....what you share could be value or money....
Our world is asking for New Leadership levels.
If you are really going to hit your biggest passion you have to be physically,emotionally,spiritually sound.
you feed yourself with knowledge you feed yourself with people and after that a vision will emerge, it all starts with an Idea.
I really want to start a website, give back, it is not that we are looking for the vision that is going to tell us everything at once. It's the callings that will take us to a deeper level in life and guide us to satisfaction, fulfillment.
Treat yourself like you love yourself, like the temple that you are and develop core rituals in your life all this other stuff will unfold from that point on.
The mindset of most people in the world 90% are not interested in growing or reaching a higer development.
alot are interested in growing but how many are doing it?
This is where you see a drop off. Not really fullfilling a deeper me, I cannot see why?
I come from a place I do not want to go back to. I do not want to be in that 90%.
What is emerging on this planet with leadership. What is your deepest motivations of why you do what you do?
What is dear to your heart?
Well I am done for today I found this very enlightning and I hope you did too. These are things I am working on myself,,,,,,I am living proof that change is in the air. won't you be a part of it...
Until next time be blessed
Patricia

Well I am feeling inspired today, I feel like a cloud has been lifted and taken away. Poof Gone!
Two days ago while Floating around in my pool ,with a great friend of mine, An Idea came to us, it was strong, it had meaning, and it will definetly take our world into a new direction. The energy, the vibes that I recieved were very powerful indeed, as with my friend also. I believe it will work....and so it begins, my purpose..Vision....my masterpeice...what I was here to do.....Create....Purpose in my life and others, give to those whom walk the path with me so that I may show them better ways of living their lives...It all starts here...Idea=Vision+Purpose I have it all now I will create......
What is your best idea? One that you have that really filled you with happiness, Joy, Peacefulness.
You see I have been working on myself for two years, cleaning out all the cobwebs in my mind that interfered with my vision, what I could see, was what I had been taught, what I couldn't see was the posibility to change my thoughts....Now I am in control of my thoughts so I can see the vision beautifully, what a great thing.
It is awesome to see I have an Idea, now I will take action to make it happen, Although the how will come as I go on with the vision, and strive to make it into reality.
this may sound like I have flipped my lid, but reality bites, and there is a door you have not opened yet, and when you do you will see that it is beautiful on the other side, walk through and experience the beauty of the mind, spirit, become whole again...it is in everyone of us it doesn't matter what you think is who you are...we have the power to change our thoughts never to look back and look forward at all times, take people with you along the way what you sow, the seeds you plant now will grow to strong trees one day, and you will reap what you have sown.
I will share the idea soon, will all who follow me, and then once the creation begins the visions will become umlimited to all involved.
Be blessed

Fear is an attitude of Expectancy
Are you expecting great things, or are you expecting horrific things?
FAITH- is expecting something Phonomenal to happen.....
You may have heard that FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.
Zig Ziglar
or
John Dileme's verson
F-face *It*
E- Extinguish *IT*
A- Attack *IT*
R- Return
With the emphasis on *IT* What is your It that is standing in your way? No matter how much you have or how much you do not have, Everyone experiences it, it is how you react when it knocks on your door.
Whatever your fear is now procrastination, low self belief, stuck in a rut; doing the same things over and over will get you the same results.
When will YOU make a decision to expect different results?
Ask yourself what am I going to do today to open up that door.
Inside my emotional tears is my dream nutrition.
You have to shed something to get to another level.
Be the ultimate closer, close doors and open new doors to peoples futures.
Fear and low self belief are developed habits, understand that these are defaults.
I read a story about a butterfly here is how it went,
It was about a man who tried to help the butterly by cutting his cacoon, he was trying to help the butterfly get here sooner, and by doing so the butterfly died as soon as he was free....
You see the time is necessary to build your why, your muscles that will help you to sore in life, and grow. The butterfly need to build his wing muscles to be able to fly, by helping the butterfly did not help it because it was not ready to fly.....
With human life we have a tendancy to want to be helped, or to have things done the easy way, but successful people know that the true success is doing it yourself, walking through those fears of I can't and placing Faith in what you do, knowing that it will either turn out or it won't but if you never do anything else then change will not happen either.
We all need to find our purpose or Why....Make it your purpose to find what it is that you are so passionate about and share it with others along the way.
Make Giving a habit, it is what the 2% of the truly wealthy do, why because it is the law of the reciprocity, what you give will be returned in a much bigger way...(remember it works for both positive and negative.)
Are your wings fully developed? or will they crumble the first time the wind blows?
Ask yourself is my comfort zone, my deadly cacoon? are you staying in your cacoon because you are comfortable and safe? Well just as the butterfly leaves its place of comfort in order to experienc the beauty that life has in store for it, so shall you leave yours to do the same. (remember don't do any of this if you want to remain the same for the rest of your life).
The most important exercise is to Reach down and pull someone up, the habit of giving, because habits predict your future...Think about it....what you do predicts what you get....
Today will be your past shortly, so do something today and change your life..Try it You will be amazed.
Until Next time

Failure is Not an Option
One hears thunder unexpectedly! First comes fear, then a sharpening of one's vision. Recall a close brush with danger — a falling branch, an automobile accident barely avoided, an escape from a potentially violent confrontation. Such incidents arouse every nerve fiber in your body in a brief wave of terror, but soon, once the danger has passed, give way to a heightened awareness of the world. The same process also occurs with other types of shock — the loss of a job, the sudden departure of a loved one, business failure and so on.
The lasting impact of a major shock can either be stimulating or debilitating, depending upon one's strength of character. The critical factor is the ability to shake off fear, thereby transforming anxiety into a laser-sharp perception of the world around you.
When overtaken by crisis, the wise search their hearts for inner strengths in order to face their life with courage. This often means daring to take an unexpected path — to bounce back quickly and self-confidently after failures, to have faith in the eternal when confronted with death.
We tend to think of shock only in the context of unpleasant events. We can also be jarred, however, by the sudden release of tension that comes with unexpected joy or success. To keep your bearings in the aftershock of either trauma or victory, it is essential that your inner compass be aligned with 'true north', that magnetic force which guides you toward fulfillment of both your deepest desire, and your highest destiny.

We tend to think of shock only in the context of unpleasant events. We can also be jarred, however, by the sudden release of tension that comes with unexpected joy or success. To keep your bearings in the aftershock of either trauma or victory, it is essential that your inner compass be aligned with 'true north', that magnetic force which guides you toward fulfillment of both your deepest desire, and your highest destiny.

Consciousness the way out of pain
Nobody's life is entirely free of pain and sorrow. Isn't it a question of learning to live with them rather than trying to avoid them?
The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.
The pain that you create now is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is.
On the level of thought , the resistance is some form of judgement. On the emotional level it is some form of negativity.
The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind. The mind always seeks to deny the Now and to escape from it. in other words, the more you are identified with your mind, the more you suffer. Or you may pur it like this: the more you are free of pain, of suffering-and free of the egoic mind.
Why does the mind habitually deny the Now? Because it cannot function and remain in control without time, which is past or future, so it percieves the timeless Now as threatening. Time and mind are in fact inseprable.
Imagine the Earth devoid of human life, inhabited only by plants and animals. Would it still have a past and a future? Could we still speak of time in any meaningful way? The question "What time is it?" or What's the date today? if anybody were there to ask it-would be quite meaningless.
The oak tree or the eagle would be bemused by such a question. What time? they would ask. "Well, of course , it's Now. The time is Now. What else is there.
Yes, we need the mind as well as time to function in this world, but there comes a point where they take over our lives, and this is where dysfunction, pain, and sorrow set in.
The mind, to ensure that it remains in control, seeks continuously to cover up the present moment with past or future, and so, as the vitality and infinite creative potential of Being, which is inseparable from the Now, becomes covered up by time, your true nature becomes obscured by the mind. An increasingly heavy burden of time has been accumulating in the human mind. All individuals are suffering under this burden, but they also keep adding to it every moment whenever they ignore or deny that precious moment or reduce it to a means of getting to some future moment, which only exist in the mind, never in actuality. The accumulation of time in the collective and individual human mind also holds a vast amount of residual pain from the past.
If you no longer want to create pain for yourself and others, if you no longer want to add to the residue of past pain that still lives on in you, then don't create any more time, or at least no more than necessary to deal with the practical aspects of your life.
How to stop creating time? Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life. Whereas before you dwelt in time and paid brief visits to the Now, have your dwelling place in the Now and pay brief visits to past and future. when required to deal with the practical aspects of your life situation. Always say "yes" to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say yes to life-and see how life sudenly starts working for you rather than against you.

How Emotions Play a Role In Your Life
You say that emotion is the mind's reflection in the body. But sometimes there is a conflict between the two: the mind says "no" while the emotion says "yes," or the other way around.
If you want to know your mind, the body will always give you a truthful reflection, so look at the emotion, or rather feel it in your body. If there is an apparent conflict between them, the thought will be the lie, the emotion will be the truth. Not the ultimate truth of who you are, but the relative truth of your state of mind at the time.
Conflict between surface thoughts and unconsious mental processes is certainly common. You may not yet be able to bring your unconsious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware. To watch an emotion in this way is basically the same as listening to or watching a thought which I described earlier. The only difference is that, while a thought is in your head, an emotion has a strong physical component and so is primarily felt in the body. You can then allow the emotion to be there without being controlled by it. You no longer are the emotion; you are the watcher, the observing presence. If you practice this, all that is unconscious in you will be brought into the light of consciousness.
So observing our emotions is as important as observing our thoughts?
Yes, Make it a habit to ask yourself: What's going on inside me at this moment? That question will point you in the direction. But don't analyze, just watch. Focus your attention within. Feel the energy of the emotion. If there is no emotion present, take your attention more deeply into the inner energy field of your body. It is the doorway into being.
Emotions, usually represents an amplified and energized throught pattern, and because of its often overpowering energetic charge, it is not easy initially to stay present enough to be able to watch it. It wants to take you over, and it usually succeeds-unless there is enough presence in you. If you are pulled into unconscious identification with the emotion through lack of presence, which is normal, the emotion temporarily becomes "you." Often a vicious circle builds up between your thinking and the emotion: they feed each other. The thought pattern creates a magnified reflection of itself in the form of an emotion, and the vibrational frequency of the emotion keeps feeding the original thought pattern. By dwelling mentally on the situation, event, or person that is the percieved cause of the emotion, the thought feeds energy to the emotion which in turn energizes the thought pattern, and so on...
