Valentines Day is NOT only for Lovers

Why it is when we think about Valentines Day we think only of lovers, special relationships.

Why can't on Valentines Day we think about not only the special people in our lives, but, also think about ourselves. There is a saying, "if you don't love yourself, you will never be able to love others."

You may ask, "how do I love myself?". Here are some suggestions that you can do on Valentines Day to love yourself.

1. Look around you and appreciate those who care about you.

be thankful they are in your life.

2. Make a list of all the things you like about yourself.

Don't be modest; this list is for you, no one else.

3. Treat yourself on Valentines Day.

Buy that one thing that you want - it doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be a treat that you will enjoy.

4. Call your mum or your dad, or that someone who made a difference in your life.

Thank them for caring about you.

5. Enjoy your day.

Remember, "what you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it."

6. Take 5 minutes and sit quietly and reflect on all the blessings in your life.

Remember there are always those who are in a worse situation than you.

8. Don't be hard on yourself.

When you hear yourself say, "I should have", or "I am so stupid", change your thought. Loving yourself by changing your self-talk to positive self-talk. Would you say those things to your best friend, then, why say them to yourself?

9. Cook or buy your favourite meal for dinner.

Enjoy!

10. Last but not least, start keeping a journal of your accomplishments.

Then when you feel down, or feel that you are not making progress you can review your journal and it will remind you of all the accomplishments you have achieved. And, remember, it is not large accomplishments that makes success, it is the little things we do every day that over time turn into success.

An Inspirational Thought, Motivational Thought

by Catherine Pulsifer

Mengejar Mimpi

Kita tak bisa menggantungkan diri

Karena jiwa-jiwa yang tergantung akan menjadi beban dan ketika ia terputus dari gantungan ia akan merana, tanpa bisa melakukan apa-apa....

Satu-satunya jalan terbaik dalam hidup adalah lepas dari ketergantungan

Terbang bebas seperti elang

Meraih mimpi dan menggapai puncak kesuksesan

Seperti kita yang saat ini bergerak mencapai mimpi-mimpi

Seperti kita yang tidak pernah berhenti bergerak

Seperti alunan lagu maju tak gentar

Maka begitulah kita yang selalu bergerak menggapai semua mimpi

Maka jangan menyerah, selama kita hidup

Karena kehidupan itu memang untuk diperjuangkan

Your Past Has Passed

One of the most liberating realisations you can have on your road to success is that your past does not dictate your future.

Many people make the mistake of referring to their past in order to obtain a prediction of their future. They say things like:

"My last two business ventures have failed so I guess I’ll never have a successful business"

"I’ve always had problematic relationships so I guess I’ll never meet the right person"

It’s very important to realise that no matter what has happened in the past, your future is still an open field of possibilities.

Many of the world’s most successful people have achieved their success after perservering in the face of hardship and failure. For example:

The Beatles were turned down by the Decca recording company but they went on to become one of the most successful bands of all time.
Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basket ball team but he went on to become one of the most successful basketball players in the world.
Joanne Rowling struggled through a collapsed marriage and occasionally had to skip meals to make sure she had enough money to feed her four month old baby but she went on to sell over 400 million copies of her books and become the highest earning novelist in history.

As these examples show, past failures and hardships do not exclude you from future success. In fact it is often through failure that people develop the skills and strength of character they need to succeed.

No matter how many times you have failed in the past, always remember this important fact:

Your Past Does Not Dictate Your Future

As you read this article, your future is filled with endless possibilities – there are new opportunities waiting to be discovered, new relationships waiting to blossom and new adventures waiting to begin.

So I encourage you today to turn away from the failures of the past and instead look forward to creating your future success.

Learn How to Motivate Yourself

Motivation will almost always beat mere talent

Norman Augustine

I truly believe Augustine's words are true and if you look at history you know it is true. There are many people in the world with amazing talents who realize only a small percentage of their potential. We all know people who live this truth.We also know those epic stories, those modern-day legends surrounding the early failures of such supremely successful folks as Michael Jordan and Bill Gates. We can look a bit further back in time to Albert Einstein or even further back to Abraham Lincoln. What made each of these people so successful ? Motivation.

We know this in our gut, but what can we do about it? How can we motivate ourselves? One of the most difficult aspects of achieving success is staying motivated over the long haul.

Motivation is not an accident or something that someone else can give you -- you are the only one with the power to motivate you. Motivation cannot be an external force, it must come from within as the natural product of your desire to achieve something and your belief that you are capable to succeed at your goal.

Positive pleasure-oriented goals are much more powerful motivators than negative fear-based ones. Although each is successful separately, the right combination of both is the most powerful motivational force known to humankind.

Here are some tips and methods for motivating yourself:

~ Use a past defeat as a motivator. Remind yourself you have nowhere to go except up as you have already been at the bottom.

~ Give yourself the power of responsibility. Remind yourself the only thing stopping you is yourself.

~ Make a list of your achievements toward your long-term goal and remind yourself that intentions don't count, only action's.

~ Do it today. Remind yourself of someone you know who died suddenly and the fact that there is no guarantee that tomorrow will come.

~ Let success motivate you. Find a picture of what epitomizes success to you and then pull it out when you are in need of motivation.

Reflect and experiment until you find the right combination of motivators for your personality and your personal goals. I'll leave you with this final motivating quote:

"What drives me? The thing that drives me most is the desire to find my limits--and extend them." ~ Richard Marcinko

Now go push your own limits and succeed!

Gifts to Give Yourself

Part Of the Change Your Focus, Change Your Life Series

By Silver Rose

For years, I wanted a man in my life to spontaneously bring me flowers. Whenever I made a wish list for the perfect mate, flowers was always at the top of the list.

One day, after I had learned about the Law of Attraction and how it works, I had to face an ugly truth. It happened while I was grocery shopping. I passed by a beautiful floral display and thought, 'Hmmm, those are pretty. I should buy some. They'd look wonderful on my table.? My very next thought? 'Oh, they're too expensive; I'd better not.?

UGH! I wanted a mate to give me flowers when I wasn't willing to spend the money to give them to myself! Talk about self-defeating behavior!

Knowing about the Law of Attraction isn't all fun and games, you know. Sometimes it's painfully obvious why your life circumstances are the way they are.

So today's challenge question is - what gifts do you give to yourself?

They can be pragmatic. For example, the first thing I do in the morning is make my bed. It feels like a gift for two reasons: (1) I've already accomplished at least one thing; and (2) ridiculous as it sounds, it makes me happy to see my bed all made up. It?s pretty and pleasing to my eyes. I like it.

Another gift is to sit in my favorite overstuffed chair, drink my morning tea while doing a crossword puzzle. Although I don't indulge every day, when I do, it's a lovely way to ease into my normally busy life.

Gifts to yourself are a way of announcing to the Universe, 'I believe my needs matter and I am behaving in harmony with that belief.? This is critical because the Law of Attraction delivers what you consistently focus on.

I can't tell you how many workers I talk to who are upset because their boss doesn't give them enough praise. Yet, when I ask what they would like to be acknowledged for, they are hard-pressed to come up with specific answers. They usually say vague things like, ?Well, I work hard,' or 'I don't call in sick very often.?

If you can't give yourself some high fives, why expect your boss to? You attract what you focus on. Give yourself the gift of celebrating your accomplishments and be amazed as others notice them, too.

As I write this, we are in the midst of the busy year-end holiday season. Many of you are stressed over what gifts to buy for others. You've spent time worrying and researching and a good deal of money in order to successfully express your feelings through the gifts you give.

If you made a list of the gifts you give to yourself, what would it say about what you think you deserve? Some of you give yourselves the equivalent of a lump of coal in your stocking every single day!

Here are some free gifts to enjoy now:

Revel in your abilities and talents.

Bask in the warmth when you come in from cold weather.

Enjoy the feel of the body parts that take you where you want to go.

Delight in delicious smells when they waft your way.

Give silent thanks to those who decorate during holidays. If you've put up your own decorations, enjoy them.

Sip with pleasure hot drinks when you?re cold and cold drinks when you're hot.

Thoroughly enjoy whatever senses you have: sight, hearing, smell, touch, or taste.

Most of all, put yourself on your own gift list and figure out what the perfect gift would be for you ? and then give it to yourself. If not you ? who?

And yes, after years of buying flowers for myself, I now have the perfect mate.
