Stretch Your Imagination And Change Your Life

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:17:38 -0400

When you stretch your imagination, you give the future shape and direction. Great imagination can restore the past. It can also review a future that does not yet exist. A whole industry, the entertainment industry, has grown around visually representing futures. Unfortunately, imagination is also misused. When a small misfortune appears, our minds have a tendency to imagine things to be worse. If, for example, a bill shows up in your mailbox and you don't have enough money to pay it, your strange imagination instantly configures the direst consequence. Before you know it, your imagination has you standing on the street corner with a cup in your hand begging for quarters. The imagination gone astray is worry; the imagination gone wild is neurosis; and the imagination gone berserk is psychosis. Yet, by the same token, futuristic imagination can be used to build fantastic futures, and the reason why our century looks very different than a millennium before is because we have imagined and invented new experiences for ourselves. When you stretch your imagination, you can do incredible, even impossible, things. You can imagine yourself on the moon in seconds. Now, here's the rub. **End Summary** Topics: stretch your imagination]]> great imagination]]> futuristic imagination]]> wild imagination]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

Use The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind To Change Your Life

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:51:05 -0400

We have within us a subconscious mind that allows us to achieve anything we want, including all the circumstances we need to launch our creation. Once this mechanism is set in motion, ideas, synchronicity, and even physical energy and emotional tenacity come into play. Your subconscious mind can help you be as rich, happy, loved, and successful as you really want to be. But it can also keep you locked in the grip of failure. Failure is not being in the wrong place with the wrong people, not knowing how to change your situation, or not having enough money or the right friends. Those are the symptoms, but not the cause. Everything can be changed, including circumstances, knowledge, skills, and other factors. What is holding you back are your own frustration and self-doubt. And what holds this in place is your comfort zone. It is run by your subconscious mind and it is designed to keep you doing familiar things, because new experiences do not make you feel safe. Your job is to supply the goal, the dream, and the vision. The subconscious mind, then supplies the means to bring it about. **End Summary** Topics: subconscious mind]]> subconscious definition]]> subconscious level]]> subconscious]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

Learn From Quotes On Success

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:55:29 -0400

You can learn much from quotes on success. Here is a list of five of my favorites and my comments. 1. Quotes on success from Oliver Wendell Holmes. "The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving," said Oliver Wendell Holmes. Without a sense of direction, we just drift through life. There are plenty of things to preoccupy us, leading us to believe that we have a purpose. Yet it is only a purpose if it goes beyond survival and coping. A purpose is a grand vision that enhances your experience of life, a vehicle to raise your sights and bring you a richer adventure. Another value to finding a purpose is to have peace of mind. This happens because drifting itself is depressing, filling the soul with a sense of emptiness, a touch of futility. 2. Quotes on success from Mary Shelley. "Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady purpose, a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye," said Mary Shelley Your purpose is what your soul longs to do. **End Summary** Topics: quotes on success]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

Learn How To Stretch Your Comfort Zone

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:20:54 -0400

Your comfort zone is a psychological structure to keep you doing familiar things. When you pull away from the things, people, and experiences you are familiar with, when you step out of your comfort zone, you are on a path of growth. This growth, to say the least, is forcing you to stretch, and this stretching is uncomfortable. It would be wonderful if there was a way to comfortably grow. But growth actually stretches your self-confidence to a breaking point. You are no longer able to use those talents and social skills that had become second-nature. You can no longer call upon those who could be relied upon to support us. Instead, you find yourself in a brave new world. Imagine that you are living in a small village. You know everyone. You know what to do, and when. This is your safe and familiar world. But your life calls for you to go beyond your village. Outside the village are resources, more money, more education, and more things that you need to experience. You are forced outside your village because although it is comfortable, it does not have everything you need to succeed in life. **End Summary** Topics: comfort zone]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

How Making Strategic Choices Can Improve Your Life

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 04:21:14 -0400

The quality of our lives depends on how well we make strategic choices. A choice well made changes everything. In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." Living in an information society, it may seem that we can now make better and more informed choices to determine our success, but confusion, not clarity, appears to be the norm. When we choose, we preclude other choices. We can enter one door or the other, but not both at the same time. Moreover, since each door leads to a separate adventure, we will never be able to return the road not taken. Sometimes it appears that we can make no choice and stay in a safe place, but this too is a choice, a choice to stay stuck where we are right now. Since choice precludes other choices, it is always a risk. We lose the possibility of other choices not made. **End Summary** Topics: strategic choices]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

How To Use Your Subconscious Mind For Spiritual Alchemy

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:31:02 -0400

How can you use your subconscious mind for spiritual alchemy? Align mind, body and spirit in harmony with your highest intentions. This vast reservoir of mentally energy awaits your command. Similarly, the universe is also always saying yes. In other words, align your conscious with your subconscious and the universe. You see, your subconscious is always says yes. Your subconscious and the universe are inextricably linked. The quintessential research on this has been done by Carl Jung in his work on synchronicity. And, today, quantum physics is coming to the same conclusion. The observer creates the experience. So if your subconscious mind and the entire universe are saying yes, it is your job to find out what they are saying yes to. For most people, caught up in thoughts of lack and limitation, it is saying yes to more lack and more limitation. As the frustration of that energy builds up, even more lack and limitation shows up for them. It is not how hard you work that will prosper you; it is how good you feel. **End Summary** Topics: subconscious mind]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

Here Is How To Use The Law Of Attraction

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:17:48 -0400

The law of attraction may or may not be magical, depending on your point-of-view and the experiences you have with it. It can also be argued that it is logical, but in a way that is beyond our current thinking, tapping potentials of the psyche seldom explored in popular culture. Skeptics argue that it is wishful thinking; but since it can be proved through experience, it appears to stand the test of the scientific method. However, to prove it, you have to suspend all doubt, because doubt is a thought that deletes the desired effect. The best way to make it work for you is to align your mind, body, and spirit with your intentions. The consciousness theory is that God is in all things and works through all things. We are all made up of this "God-stuff" that connects the entire universe together. This stuff is called "consciousness." Consciousness is more than thinking, which is merely an imagistic and linguistic representation of sense phenomena. Consciousness is the entire spectrum of awareness. However, all you need to apply the law of attraction something is some elementary thinking. Your thoughts create your reality. **End Summary** Topics: law of attraction]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:32:43 -0400

Identifying the right work, work that fills you with passion, can change your life better than any other success strategy. "If you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, " said Henry David Thoreau, "and endeavor to live the life you have imagined, you will meet with unexpected success." Doing your right work can improve your life. Considerably. When you cut to the chase, focus on the essentials, and find work that satisfies you and contributes to the world, you will feel your life is rich with meaning. The key to a successful life is finding satisfaction in work. This is work that expresses your gifts to life. How do you move in this direction, shrugging off the work that you have accepted out of necessity? How do you begin the work that expresses who you are in the world? It takes inner work to make the transition. Focus on your creative mind, reflect on what work you like to do, and contemplate your talents. Think back on what you have learned from both good and bad past experiences. What works and what does not work for you? Each of us is different. **End Summary** Topics: right work]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

Mind Power Made Easy

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:03:21 -0400

A simple way to look at the psychology of success, the science of applied mind power, is to see your life as always either half-empty or half-full, much like a glass of water. Since you get more of what you focus on, when you focus on the empty part, you get more empty experiences, and when you focus on the full part, your desires are fulfilled. Some people, motivated by fear, work very, very hard to end up with nothing. Then, in frustration, they try even harder. They see the glass as half-empty and desperately try to fill it up. Since their subconscious mind believes in emptiness, it quickly makes sure that the glass is partially emptied when it does fill up. Because this mind cannot reason, it takes the inner vision literally and ensures a half-empty glass. Although, the conscious mind is working hard to fill up the glass, the subconscious mind always wins because it is many times more powerful in creating reality. The only way to change this situation is to focus on how much is in the glass. Your inner view shapes how your subconscious mind acts. **End Summary** Topics: mind power]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

What Happened To Our Spiritual Power?

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 03:33:29 -0400

Spiritual power has been known long before the start of Sumer, the cradle of civilization. Yet the history of humanity has been a miserable story. What has prevented us from living a life full of hope, harmony, and flourishing success? It is the loss of our comprehension of our real nature through the domination of the ego. Western Civilization, according to traditional history, started in the squabbling little islands of Greece. This birthplace of democracy enforced its ideas through war and strife. Since then the history books have been written by those who won the wars. The history of humanity is a history of domination. Its supreme accomplishment will be the destruction of the world. This domination has been by the ego. This ego has expressed itself through dominant leaders and dominant groups. The result has been suppression, since the beginning of recorded time, of recognizing our infinite nature. Even when the great avatars showed up to demonstrate our true nature as beings full of spiritual power, their teachings became diluted into dogma and corrupted by the domination paradigm. Domination, at its extreme, is through military power, but it also trickles down through politics, science, religion, and corporations. **End Summary** Topics: spiritual power]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

Personal Goal Setting Tip

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:21:12 -0400

Personal goal setting prevents you from simply drifting through your life. Without it, the days, weeks, months, and years will fly by and you will not even remember how the time passed. How would you like your life to be five years from now? Will it have momentum, or will it be a variation of the same struggles? How do you envision it? What people, places, and things will you experience five years from now? Will you experience lots of pleasure, or variations of current pain or boredom? If you make a decision right now to take control of how your life is unfolding and if you decide to envision what you want and commit to setting goals, this could very well be a very memorable day. Do not let your inner critic dissuade you from personal goal setting and taking action. Also, remember goals should fill you with passion. You have to dream big dreams to summon the emotional energy to make them come true. Some people like to pick one personal goal. Others, several goals. It does not really matter how you choose to set goals. You will achieve success if your intention is strong enough. **End Summary** Topics: personal goal setting]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

How To Overcome Your Spiritual challenge

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:31:04 -0400

Life is an endless spiritual challenge because who you really are is a soul, a spark of God, or the awareness of all that is, was, and will be, and the soul uses the conditioned mind as its instrument to navigate through the world of form. In this experience of being a person, one who is utterly unique, with no one else like you, you may wonder about your gifts. Your first gift, of course, is simply being alive. It is the gift of awareness. However, you also have gifts of mind, unique perceptions, strengths and talents that others do not have in the same way. While you may have many spiritual challenges, your essential spiritual challenge is how to bring these gifts out to the world. When you focus on these gifts, you feel empowered. When you focus on what you did not get, you feel disempowered. You have a choice: focus on what is unique and special to you and feel empowered or focus on what you do not have that other people appear to have and feel disempowered. Wisdom, of course, would suggest that you enhance your strengths. **End Summary** Topics: spiritual challenge]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

How To Create A Happy Life

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:31:14 -0400

Is it possible to consciously choose to create a happy life? Most people are operating on automatic, on subconscious programs that run quietly in the background, dictating their every move, pulling on their emotional strings, selecting their perceptions, and organizing their experiences around past hurts, fears, and insecurities. Ironically, they think that they are conscious. Acting out in a crazy, self- and other-destructive way is not conscious. And it is only because of acting out on our drives that we are unconscious. Someone who is conscious does not let their drives dictate their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Instead, they choose the best possible options available to them based on what they currently know. A casual survey of people around you will quickly reveal that impulsive actions are the norm. Rationality is quickly defeated by impulsive urges. The reason why most people do not have a happy life is because they are almost completely unconscious. The way to become conscious is to become aware. Awareness is stepping back and looking at everything for the first time. Awareness is not simple. **End Summary** Topics: a happy life]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

When you avail yourself of the law of attraction, you can solve any problem, step out of any dilemma, and resolve any conflict. This law is invincible. It can easily cut through any Gordian knot.

Once you do, you have to let go of how your solution will manifest. **End Summary** Topics: law of attraction]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

Figuring Out The Best Way To Make Money Is An Inside Job

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:43:26 -0400

You may be thinking of the best ways to make money if you have many bills and expenses to pay that exceed your income. Somehow you find you are always a step behind and trying to catch up. What is the psychological reason behind this? If you are willing to take responsibility for yourself, willing to accept that you are the one who is creating your experiences out of infinite choices than you may find the following idea insightful: The reason you have insufficient income is because you are resisting it. On the surface, this may sound absurd. After all, you are actively working 24/7 to make money. Yet on a subconscious level you associate pain to money. Usually, this pain comes in three forms. 1. You have inherited a parental money script, which is based on some level of emotional pain associated with money. 2. You have to do something you dislike to earn enough. In other words, your job or income source is painful. You have to deal with unpleasant people or pursue uncomfortable experiences to make money. 3. In the past, you have been embarrassed by not having enough when you needed it. **End Summary** Topics: best ways to make money]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

How To Boost Your Personal Energy

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:04:18 -0400

Personal energy makes you feel more alive. Once you learn how to connect with your empowering emotions, you will move in the direction of your greatest good and move away from apathy. How do you come alive? The short answer: You move away from apathy. Apathy is a low-vibration emotion that does not serve you; it is the opposite of creative dynamism. Here are several ways to move out of apathy: 1. Move your mind. Examine your thinking process and find out what causes you to withdraw into apathy. You can do this through contemplation or journaling. 2. Move your emotions. Move through the stagnant emotion to a higher level emotion like frustration or anger, rising up the emotional scale until you can get to courage. 3. Move your body. Exercise, get in touch with your more primal physical energy, and raise your endorphins. If you look back on your life, you will see that your failures were due to your inability to overcome your apathy. Jobs, relationships, and dreams collapsed because there was not enough personal energy to keep them alive. You simply did not have enough interest to reverse adversity. Apathy prevailed. **End Summary** Topics: personal energy]]> apathy]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana at MindPower Insights will show you how to get focused, increase productivity, plan your future, and take action to realize your dreams!

How To Be A Happy Person And Enjoy Your Life

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:41:18 -0400

Do you want to be a happy person? It may be easier than you think. Instead of waiting for a miracle, you can precipitate one by seeding clouds of abundance with a few sprinkles of right thought and right action. Deciding to be cheerful can make success much more likely. This is because your positive vibrations will attract to you, through the law of attraction, the things you want and need. Happiness, despite rumors to the contrary, does not come from success. While lack, of course, whether of wealth, health and relationships is never uplifting, your happiness could be pushing away money, love, friendship, and vitality. Let us look at a few things that an upbeat person does to stay cheerful. A happy person sets goals because it makes him or her feel in control of time. So master your time by setting goals. Then make the goal manageable by breaking it into doable tasks. While you may overestimate how much you can do in a day, you may underestimate how much you can do in a year. A happy person acts happy. A happy face makes people respond to you positively. **End Summary** Topics: happy person]]> happy]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Saleem Rana made a personal discovery that transformed his life.
