<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Quote of the Day: “It’s so hard when you have to and so easy when you want to” S. A. Barnes</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.anthonybasich.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Follow-your-passion-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1772" title="Follow-your-passion-2" src="http://www.anthonybasich.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Follow-your-passion-2.jpg" alt="following your passion motivational poster" width="281" height="343" /></a>Are you one of the lucky ones who are <strong>following your passion</strong> in life? If you are then you know how easy it is “when you want to”.</p>
<p>It is much easier to work when you want to.</p>
<p>It is much easier to work longer hours when you want to.</p>
<p>It is much easier to be more productive when you want to.</p>
<p>It’s much easier to give 100% when you want to.</p>
<p>To sum it all up, when you are following your passion and doing what you truly love to do then you will really never work another day in your life; at anything.</p>
<p>Your work will ultimately be your happiness. It will be so easy because you actually want to do it.</p>
<p>Hours will seem like minutes.</p>
<p>Weeks will seem like days.</p>
<p>And you will smile all of the way.</p>
<p>You see, the labor of love is the greatest labor of them all.</p>
<p>And this goes for anything whether it’s making a living, making a cake or making your dreams a reality.</p>
<p>Do you have a passion for being healthy? If so then going to the gym will bring you so much joy and all of the hard work will bring a smile to your face and make you feel unstoppable.</p>
<p>Are you making a living doing what you love to do? If so then happiness will be yours forever. If not then you need to seek out to find your passion and follow it.</p>
<p>Stop and ask yourself: “What do I love to do? I mean, what do I truly love to do above all things?”</p>
<p>Think about what you could work at days on end without ever getting paid and want to do even more?</p>
<p>Your answer is your true passion.  Finding your passion and then following it is the key to happiness and also one of the greatest secrets to success.</p>
<p>Do what you love and love what you do for when you are <strong>following your passion</strong> you will truly know what it really means to “want to”.</p>
<p>Be Unstoppable!<br />
Yours in Success,<br />

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Quote of the Day: &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.&#8221; Lou Holtz</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.anthonybasich.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Be-Extraordinary.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1762" title="Be-Extraordinary" src="http://www.anthonybasich.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Be-Extraordinary.jpg" alt="Be Extraordinary" width="281" height="343" /></a></p>
<p>I can’t believe that God put anyone on this earth to be ordinary either.</p>
<p>Why Be Ordinary When You Can Be Extraordinary?</p>
<p>Seriously.</p>
<p>Each one of us here has a specific purpose; a mission in life that will leave this world a little bit better that what is was when we came here.</p>
<p>We have each been given the unique opportunity to touch the lives of those around us; to make someone’s day or to make someone’s lifetime.</p>
<p>It is up to you though. Will you choose to make an impact on this world?</p>
<p>Will you choose to reach out and help make a change for the better?</p>
<p>Every single one of us is capable of making such a change. Most people never really seem to tap into the vast greatness that lies within though.</p>
<p>Let me enlighten you: There’s much more to life than you think.</p>
<p>More importantly, there’s much more to YOU than you think.</p>
<p>The potential that you have inside of you is beyond your imagination. In actuality it is limitless.</p>
<p>So why be ordinary when you can be extraordinary?</p>
<p>Who really wants to be ordinary anyway? To me that makes life way too boring.</p>
<p>Make this your affirmation for the day:</p>
<p>“I am an extraordinary person who has so much to give the world”</p>
<p>Now go do some soul searching and find your purpose in life and start making a difference in the world. You will be amazed at what life has to give you back in return.</p>
<p>Be Unstoppable!<br />
Yours in Success,<br />

<p>Les Brown put it best when he said “the how is none of your business”.</p>
<p>It really isn’t any of your business.</p>
<p>What is your business is to know your purpose in life and to have faith in a successful outcome of your desires.</p>
<p>When you know your purpose, God will put everything you need before you in the form of opportunities.</p>
<p>Whether or not you are brave enough to take advantage of these opportunities is up to you.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">“Find purpose, the means will follow.”  Gandhi</p>
</blockquote>
<p>What is your purpose?</p>
<p>Just ask yourself what you love to do more than anything else in life. Now how can use this to make a contribution of service to the world?</p>
<p>Next ask yourself what is the outcome of this contribution?</p>
<p>Once you know the desired outcome and the reason that you desire that particular outcome, you are in alignment with your purpose. When you are in alignment with your purpose, then the means by which you will attain your desires will automatically follow, but only when acted upon with faith.</p>
<p>Be open to the “means”.</p>
<p>Just let things happen.</p>
<p>Most of all though, have faith.</p>
<p>When your purpose is backed by faith, everything you need to get to your goals is coming to you in the right time and in the right way.</p>
<p>Be open to the possibilities and allow your dreams to unfold right before your eyes.</p>
<p>Find your purpose and the means will surely follow.</p>
<p>Be Unstoppable!<br />
Yours in Success,<br />

<blockquote><p>“All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea. “ Napoleon Hill</p></blockquote>
<p>An idea is one of the most important elements to all successful change, no matter how big or small. Everything that has ever manifested in the physical plane has started with a single idea, a thought.</p>
<p>That’s pretty amazing if you ask me.</p>
<p>Think about all of the great inventions of the twentieth century and how they have impacted the world that we live in today. The first Model T Ford, the airplane, the television, the theory of relativity, the microwave oven, radio and even the almighty internet have all made a huge impact on our way of life. Think about how all technological advances have affected our world; and to think that everything started out as a single idea.</p>
<p>What ideas do you have floating around in your mind? What ideas do you have to improve your life or maybe the lives of millions? What impact will those ideas have on the world? Write them down and then take action on them. Make it happen. You never know but your next idea could be worth millions.</p>

<h4><em>Creator of </em><a href="http://bit.ly/buVhLn">Deliberate Creation Instant Self Hypnosis</a></h4>
<p>Having trouble reaching all your goals? Are you going for what you want, but feeling like something is road-blocking the way? Are you finding yourself “not” doing some of the things you know you should be doing?</p>
<p>You may be a victim of sabotage&#8212;<strong>self-sabotage</strong>. How do you know, and what can you do about it? Read on and see.</p>
<h3>1. Focusing on what is not working, not right or missing from your life.</h3>
<p>Problem: Notice how often you speak about and think about what is not working, not right, or missing from your life. This only attracts more of the things you don’t want.</p>
<p>Action: Ask yourself a new question: &#8220;What&#8217;s going right?&#8221; or &#8220;What IS working?&#8221; Begin to notice all the things, no matter how small, that are working well. Keep an evidence journal and each day write down everything, I do mean everything, that is working and you will attract more of what is working!</p>
<h3>2. Being stuck in fear.</h3>
<p>Problem: Do you worry a lot about the future and what is going to happen or might happen? Are you thinking about your fears so much that you are paralyzed and take no action because of fear of what might occur?</p>
<p>Action: It is time to put your focus on the present. We can&#8217;t control or predict the future or other people&#8217;s behaviors. All we can control is our own, right here, right now.</p>
<p>Ask yourself the question &#8220;What is the worst thing that could happen?&#8221; Then, let go and know that rarely do the scenarios we create in our heads occur. Take a moment to put things into perspective by writing down the things you cannot change, the things you want to change, and accept that the Universe, God, Spirit, whatever you call it will take of the rest. It always does!</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.anthonybasich.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Roadblock-to-your-goals.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-729 alignleft" title="Roadblock to your goals" src="http://www.anthonybasich.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Roadblock-to-your-goals.jpg" alt="self sabotaging behavior" width="251" height="188" /></a>3. Feeling you have no value.</h3>
<p>Problem: Do you forget all your accomplishments and lack pride in who you are and what you have accomplished? If you obsess about the past or your</p>
<p>lack of success or lack of achievement, then you&#8217;ll be stuck in noticing how much you lack as a person. If you often criticize yourself or can&#8217;t accept compliments, it’s a definite sign that you have fallen into this trap.</p>
<p>Action: You can choose to notice what you do that is good and the things you can be proud of, no matter how small they may seem. Each day keep a log of what you are grateful for about YOU. When you hear your mind chattering about what you haven&#8217;t done right or well, turn down the volume and turn up the volume to hear the voice that knows the TRUTH about who you are and how you add value to the world.</p>
<p>Acknowledge yourself for at least 5 things each and every day that you did well. Each day, compliment yourself on something you did that you feel good about. Notice your small successes and accept the compliments others give you.</p>
<h3>4. Comparing yourself to others.</h3>
<p>Problem: Do you constantly compare yourself to others and then feel badly when compared to them? Comparison doesn&#8217;t motivate us to do more or be better, instead it makes us feel we&#8217;ll never be good enough and we aren&#8217;t right now.</p>
<p>Action: Write out the 5 qualities you like best about yourself. Then write out what you value most in your life. When you go to a place of comparison, notice how similar you are with the other person vs. what is different. Begin to create a list of adjectives that describe you &#8211; at least 25 positive words about your greatness. Whenever you notice yourself in a comparison mode, think of some of the adjectives that describe YOU.</p>
<p><a href="http://hits.thesecretofdeliberatecreation.com/cgi-bin/redir?pd_link=i1-a60776-o2519-c31050"><img src="http://ban.thesecretofdeliberatecreation.com/cgi-bin/imp?pd_link=i1-a60776-o2519-c31050" border="0" alt="" width="468" height="60" /></a></p>
<h3>5. Self-Sabotage – getting what you want and then losing it.</h3>
<p>Problem: Do you not believe that you deserve to have what you want? When you get what you want, why do you often lose it or mess it up? What is the true story underneath &#8211; maybe that you think aren&#8217;t good enough to have it?</p>
<p>Action: List all the things you have accomplished that faded away. Simply notice these things, but don’t place any judgment on the fact they disappeared. How did they bring you satisfaction? How did they make you feel? What is the limiting belief that you have that tells you inside why you can&#8217;t have what you want? Be quiet, be still and listen to it.</p>
<p>Write down how you felt when you had what you wanted. Write down how you feel now, without it. Then write a &#8220;bridge belief&#8221;: A very, very small belief that feels a little bit better than what you now feel. Each week, create a new bridge belief, not matter how small, that you can really believe. By using these bridges as stepping-stones, you&#8217;ll shift your limiting beliefs slowly and be on the other side of the bridge and able to maintain it because you will have a new belief inside of you.</p>
<h3>6. You chase away relationships.</h3>
<p>Problem: Do you always feel something is missing in your relationships or find fault with the other person? Perhaps you are afraid of intimacy. Underneath this is usually a fear of abandonment or exposure that causes you to distance yourself from others.</p>
<p>Action: Create a list of the qualities you value in a relationship and the qualities you want to attract in your partners. Express what you want and don&#8217;t want to the other person and allow them to express the same to you. Create time to acknowledge the other person on a regular basis. Notice when you feel afraid. Don&#8217;t try to push the feelings away. Know that the feelings are there and that is fine. Then, in that moment, focus on what feels good about the relationship.</p>
<h3>7. Having no purpose.</h3>
<p>Problem: Do you feel you have no purpose in life? We all have some purpose for being on the planet and it is time to notice yours.</p>
<p>Action: Write down all the things that are important to you – the thing you want to create in your life. Then write out what you want to contribute to the world. From your writing, create a statement of purpose for yourself that you can read each and every day.</p>
<p>Then stop worrying about not knowing your purpose and start creating what you desire now. It doesn’t matter what you want in the future. So start creating something you want in your life NOW. This action will ultimately put you in alignment and bring you closer to your overall purpose.</p>

Well believe it or not success is a lot more than financial gains, college degrees, and high social status. Success is a journey, not any one point, product or destination.</p>
<p>Success is best measured by the personal victories in your life; the obstacles and hurdles that you have overcome in your <a href="http://www.hppcds.com/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=262_12_3_20">Quest For Excellence.</a></p>
<p>No matter what your definition of success is though, the way to get there is by way of a definite success plan.</p>
<p>As you may have heard, failing to plan is planning to fail, so regardless of what your goal actually is, it is critical to create a plan for your own success. Success planning is all about creating a road map or blueprint to follow in all of the different areas of your life.</p>
<p>Along the same lines as following a map on a journey, you need to define the following points of interest: the starting point, your destination, your method of transportation, your baggage, milestones, and of course, the route.</p>
<p>Let’s take a look at these points of interest and how they fit in to the overall success plan.</p>
<blockquote><p>“I have learned that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” Henry David Thoreau</p></blockquote>
<h2>The Starting Point:  Where you are now</h2>
<p>Every journey has a starting point. Your starting point is where you are right now in life; who you are right at this very moment. Stop and ask yourself “who am I.” When your answer is something to the extent of a mother, a father, a husband or wife, a doctor, a lawyer, a nurse or any other title or occupation, you need to stop and realize that this does not define who you really are.  It only tells your present preoccupation and representation.</p>
<p>To gain true insights about yourself, you need to examine your core values, beliefs and principles apart from your financial, professional, cultural, and public status. Furthermore, you can also reflect on your experiences in life to give you a better perspective on both your positive and negative traits, skills, knowledge, strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>Upon self examination, you may realize many things about yourself that you never knew. You may also discover that your life must indeed serve a purpose, and only through deep introspection you come to this realization.</p>
<p>Stop and take time to answer the question “Who am I”…</p>
<h2>Your Objective: A vision of who you want to be</h2>
<p>Where exactly do you want to be in life? A better question would be to ask yourself who exactly you want to be in life. This is the question that  needs to be asked at the beginning of your journey and it will then clearly light the way to your vision.</p>
<p>Now it is imperative that you truly know yourself at your core so that you would have a clear idea of where exactly in life you want to be. This includes all of the things you want to change whether they are attitudes, habits, or core beliefs.</p>
<p>If you don’t really know yourself, then your vision and goals for the future will also be unclear. Your objective should cover all of the different aspects of your being: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.</p>
<p>Continuing on, after you have defined your beliefs, values, and principles, you will be able to decide what you really want to have in life.</p>
<p>Stop and take time to answer the question “Who is this person that I truly want to be?”…</p>
<h2>Your Method of Transportation: Your mission</h2>
<p>Now it is time to get moving. Since you have determined who you are right now and who you want to be in the future, the next step is to create a process to get there.</p>
<p>Any method of transportation is the medium by which you can reach your ultimate objective. In this instance, it can be comparable to your mission or purpose in life.</p>
<p>To a great extent, your purpose would depend on what you know about yourself. Based on your self-assessment, you can then discover your perfect vocation.</p>
<p>Your chosen profession may be a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, business owner etc. Taking that one step further and describing your mission fully, it may be to live a life dedicated to providing a benefit and serving the people in some specific way shape or form.</p>
<p>You may want to change the lives of millions in a positive way. That would define your mission in life and provide the method of transportation to get you to who you want to be.</p>
<p>Stop and take time to answer the question “What is my purpose in life?”…</p>
<h2>Your Baggage: Knowledge, skills, and attitude</h2>
<p>No, we’re not talking about the type of “baggage” that some people bring into a relationship or even the outside distractions that some people bring to work everyday that they should have left at the door.</p>
<p>We’re talking about the type of baggage that will provide for you with the tools to provide sustenance throughout your journey. <strong> </strong></p>
<p>Clothing, personal care items and other travelling necessities are all things you pack for a trip in a travel bag. Applying this same idea to your success map, you also bring with you a certain amount of knowledge, skills, and attitudes.</p>
<p>These key fundamentals will ultimately determine your true capacity and help you in attaining your vision.</p>
<p>With that being said, there is a need for you to make an assessment of what knowledge, skills, and attitudes you have at the present moment and what you would need to acquire along the way. This personal assessment will give you awareness on your milestones or measures of success.</p>
<p>You may find that you need to gain knowledge and learn new skills in a certain area of your expertise so that you could achieve your ultimate goal. The next step would be to make the necessary advancements in personal development to acquire these skills or knowledge.</p>
<p>Knowledge truly is power. Whatever your journey is, be prepared for a lifelong learning endeavor. Always be a student learning from everyone and everything.</p>
<p>Stop and take time to answer the question “What skills or knowledge do I need to acquire in order to attain my vision?”</p>
<h2>Milestones and The Path: S.M.A.R.T. goals</h2>
<p>Milestones will let you know if you are on the right track with your success plan while the path will determine if and when you are going to get there. Thus, in planning out your journey, you also need to set up milestones and embark on a clear path ahead.</p>
<p>These milestones, or rather short term goals, will be the measure of your current success; marks along the road that let you know just how far you have come.</p>
<p>Milestones are in fact very important markers along your path to success. Oftentimes you may not realize how far you have actually come in on your journey and may face discouragement. The only way to alleviate this temporary roadblock is to focus on the accomplishments that you have made, or rather the milestones you have passed on your path to success.</p>
<p>The smaller goals that you have set must be S.M.A.R.T. That is, like any goal, they must be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time bound.</p>
<p>Stop and take time to make sure your goals are S.M.A.R.T. and acknowledge any short term accomplishments you have made&#8230;</p>
<h2>Anticipate Detours, Roadblocks and U-turns</h2>
<p>The purpose of your success plan is to minimize the possibility of having to make any abrupt and spontaneous decisions that can take you off your course.</p>
<p>Oftentimes you may find though, that your original game plan is modified along the way due to unexpected inconveniences, detours, and other situations that are well beyond your control.</p>
<p>Just as on any journey, there are u-turns, re-routs, and roadblocks that we must anticipate and adjust accordingly. The key is to adjust accordingly. Remember, it is not the obstacle that matters; it is how you react and deal with the challenge that ultimately determines your success or failure.</p>
<p>Be prepared to make any necessary changes along the way by keeping your eye on the prize and staying on the path. By keeping your focus on your ultimate goal then you will in fact make wise decisions when necessary and follow through with your success plan.</p>
<p>Stop and ask yourself this final question “How will I maintain a positive mental attitude when the going gets tough?”…</p>

<p>What happens when you put the <strong>Law of Attraction in action</strong>?</p>
<p>Just imagine for a moment, that you had all the money you ever dreamed of.  Imagine how it would feel if you had wonderful relationships and absolutely perfect health. Think about how your life would be, living in a constant state of peace and joy.</p>
<p>If you put into practice taking action when using the Law of Attraction and focus your mind intently on the things you desire, you can literally <a href="http://www.anthonybasich.com/mind/5-steps-to-create-your-reality-using-the-law-of-attraction/" target="_self"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>create your own reality</strong></span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 4 tips to help your put the Law of Attraction into Action:</strong></p>
<h3>1. Know what you want</h3>
<p>One of the most important things to do first is to figure out exactly what it is that you want. This is probably one of the most crucial elements to manifesting. The Universe will bring to you whatever you desire so you’ve got to think big. There is no difference to the Universe in asking for $100 or $100,000. So the best thing to do is to go after your biggest dreams.  The Law of Attraction will draw them to you, whatever it may be.</p>
<p>You may be someone who doesn’t really know what you want.  Maybe you&#8217;ve been brainwashed for so long into believing that you can&#8217;t have or do something and this has brought you to accept the fact that you can’t have or do it.  It&#8217;s time to look deep within yourself and discover that you could get anything you desire through the Law of Attraction.</p>
<p>Stop at the book store and page through dream home magazines. Go to an expensive car lot and take a look around. Decide what you want.  You will surely get a great perspective on what you can actually manifest into your life.  Once you accept the fact that you can have these things in your life you will become emotionally charged about them and your positive energy will become empowered through the Law of Attraction.</p>
<h3>2. Affirm what you want</h3>
<p>Once you decide on what it is that you actually want, the rest is simple.  Just make an affirmation to the Universe to receive it.  Affirm it out loud, write it down on paper, and most importantly believe in it.  The secret though, is believing.</p>
<p>Think from the end result as if your desire has already happened.  Imagine that it has, and it will, through the Law of Attraction. Close your eyes and visualize it from the end result.  And don&#8217;t expect to know how it is going to happen. The Law of Attraction doesn’t work that way. This is the art of surrendering. You just need to trust that what you want to manifest is going to happen, and leave how it will happen up to the Universe.</p>
<h3>3. Practice gratitude</h3>
<p>Another important step you must take when implementing the Law of Attraction is to maintain a feeling of gratitude.  Being absolutely grateful for everything that you have in life is the key.  Focus on all of the great things that you have  and this in turn will help you bring about positive feelings that manifest your thoughts into things.</p>
<p>The positive feelings that you experience will then transmute into a positive vibrations, according to the Law of Attraction. By sending out this kind of positive energy, or positive vibrations, it will return to you good things that are on the exact same positive wavelength.  You can remind yourself to focus on these feelings by writing out your goals or wants on a note card and then keep it with you.  This will help you remember to feel a state of gratitude every time you read it.</p>
<h3>4. Be aware of your thoughts</h3>
<p>Another thing to remember when practicing the Law of Attraction is to be aware of the constant thought stream that is flowing through your mind.  Most people experience random thought processes running through their minds every day with no direction in this process. They pay little attention to the effect that these thoughts are actually having on their reality.</p>
<p>If you understand the Law of Attraction and the impact that thoughts have on creating this reality, then it would be wise to monitor this process.  Stop for a minute and think whether your thoughts are leading you toward your goals and desires or away from them.</p>
<p>Knowing how the <a href="http://www.anthonybasich.com/inspirational-quotes/law-of-attraction-quotes/" target="_self"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></span></a> actually works will indeed change your life.  It requires a certain state of mind to work with the Law of Attraction and make it happen, but whether or not it is hard to master is up to you.  You just need to take your time, have patience, practice, and most of all, believe in it.</p>
<p>Practice putting the <strong>Law of Attraction into action</strong> every day of your life and watch as your world begins to change in ways that you only dreamed of.</p>
<p><strong>Be Unstoppable!<br />
Yours in Success,</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><strong>“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Harriet Tubman</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-277" href="http://www.anthonybasich.com/inspiration/great-dreams-start-with-a-great-dreamer/attachment/great-dreams-start-with-a-great-dreamer/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-277" title="Great Dreams Start With a Great Dreamer" src="http://www.anthonybasich.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Great-Dreams-Start-With-a-Great-Dreamer.jpg" alt="Great Dreams Start With a Great Dreamer" width="291" height="412" /></a>Stop and think for a moment about all of the great inventions, the greatest musical compositions, the massive revolutions, the great works of art and greatest literary pieces ever written in the world. All of these historical contributions would never have occurred if it wasn’t for <strong>great dreams</strong> conjured up from the minds of <strong>great dreamers</strong>.</p>
<p>If it hadn’t been for great dreams, Vivaldi never would have written “The Four Seasons”, Bach “St. Matthew Passion” and Handel “Messiah”. Neither would Michelangelo have created his breathtaking work in the Sistine Chapel.</p>
<p>Leonardo da Vinci never would have sketched the first parachute and helicopter, painted such masterpieces such as “The Last Supper” and “Mona Lisa” or produced some of the first detailed illustrations of physiology of the human body.</p>
<p>And you would have never known how to “Think and Grow Rich” had it not been for the dedicated lifelong work of Napoleon Hill.</p>
<p>These are all examples of people who were great dreamers. They took the thoughts that were created in their own minds and molded them into an amazing reality here on the physical plane.</p>
<p>Every single great accomplishment in this world started out with a vision, a <strong>great dream</strong> which then led to the particular achievement. It was the individual&#8217;s courage to cultivate their dream that made the difference.</p>
<p>There are times in life when you are told that you can’t do something or that something you are striving for is far impossible to accomplish. The key is to listen to your heart and not the mouths of the little minds out there. As the quote above by Harriet Tubman states, you already have everything you need right inside. You also have the potential to change the world in some way, as each of these examples state.</p>
<p>So what are your great dreams? What great potential do you have inside of you that is just waiting to be born? Is it another great life changing book such as &#8220;<a href="http://www.anthonybasich.com/millionaire-mindset/how-to-use-subliminal-mp3s-to-attract-money/" target="_blank"><strong>Think and Grow Rich</strong></a>&#8221; ? Do you have the potential to create a masterpiece like Michelangelo? Or maybe it is to compose another great classical piece like Vivaldi, Bach or Handel. How about creating many great inventions such as Leonardo da Vinci?</p>
<p>Maybe your dream is just to make a positive difference in this world in your own special way. Whatever it may be I challenge you to dream a <strong>great dream</strong> and then go out into this world and live it. You may be surprised at what you are capable of accomplishing and may be the next great thing to go down in history.</p>
<p>Be Unstoppable!<br />
Yours in Success,<br />

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;It&#8217;s never too late to become what you might have been.&#8221; George Eliot</p>
</blockquote>
<p>When I read this quote by Eliot, I find it very fascinating and motivating as it delineates a clear vision in my mind of myself as the person I have always dreamed to be.</p>
<p>As I continue to focus on this vision, I feel myself smiling as it conjures up intense feelings of accomplishment, achievement and sheer happiness having ultimately overcome obstacles and having pressed onward to victory in all of my Life’s endeavors.</p>
<p>I see myself easily catapulting from all setbacks and extinguishing all fears that have been blocking my path to opening that door to a new chapter in Life that awaits ahead. I feel the exhilaration of standing on top of the world and being absolutely unstoppable and fearless.</p>
<p>I also get the intense feeling that there is ultimately still hope; a chance to become something bigger and better than I am now, aspiring to the greatest heights of my imagination and beyond.</p>
<p>As this vision finally starts to slowly fade, I ponder as to why so many of us don’t take that plunge into the big ocean of uncharted territories and explore the infinite puzzles of possibilities that can come to fruition.</p>
<h4>Strive for even greater heights</h4>
<p>I think we would all find our efforts worthwhile in that they would ultimately bring us to even greater heights than we could have ever imagined.</p>
<p>For those of us that invoke the courage to take on the challenge with the utmost resolve, we and only we will reap the rewards that exist beyond the safety of the shores most of us cling to and will also find a world where our hopes and dreams seem to come alive and take on forms that we never even knew existed.</p>
<p>The challenge to all of us though is being fearless and taking that initial plunge.</p>
<h4>Become fearless in your quest</h4>
<p>That word <em>fear</em> is what truly hinders all of us from living that life that we have always dreamed of; or in the words of Eliot “what you might have been”.</p>
<p>Fear is ultimately the brick wall that holds us all back from making that leap into that great ocean of the infinite. The opportunities that are available to each and every one of us are endless.</p>
<p>My point of this all is that it is never too late to start.</p>
<p>PERIOD.</p>
<p>So crank up the inspiration and drown out pesky fearful voice in your head and just do it. Go ahead and do something new, something that you have always wanted to do but never had the courage to start.</p>
<p>For me it&#8217;s writing.</p>
<p>For you it may be quitting your job and starting that career you always dreamed of. I did that many years ago and have never looked back ever since because it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.</p>
<p>It may be leaving that lousy relationship that you are clinging to because you are afraid of being alone but believe me, there are bigger and better things out there.</p>
<p>It may even be cultivating new beliefs and values in which to live your life that may challenge existing beliefs but in the end will only serve to make you a better person.</p>
<h4>There is always hope</h4>
<p>Just remember that there is always the opportunity to begin anew and live the life that you have always aspired to live no matter what point in life you may be.</p>
<p>I have learned through many trials and tribulations that anyone can do anything that they put their mind to so put your mind to it and “become what you might have been”.</p>
<p>I hope you have been inspired!</p>
<p>Be Unstoppable!<br />
Yours in Success,<br />
