A Great Life Starts in Your Imagination

What do you want in your life? What do you want to have for yourself? And in what situation do you want to live? Describe the scenario. Imagine it. Give yourself the needed time to answer these questions and take the time to slow down and reflect on them. Take a walk in the spring sunshine, breathe some fresh air, turn off all distractions and give your head some time to clear. Then, write down as many details as you can think of for the ideal picture of your life. Be Specific. What is happening in the best possible picture of your life? What kind of career, home, friends, and relationships do you have? Who are you surrounded with? Who are you being?

You can often have what you want, if you take the time to imagine it. So let yourself imagine this. It is not wasted time and there really is nothing better to do.

Begin by being relaxed, open and creative. Don't limit yourself. There is no wrong way work with your imagination. Just begin it. When you imagine what you most desire in your mind, you take the first big step in actually creating it. If what you are working so hard on now is not what you really want, imagine and create something new. Then, go after it.

If You Don't Know What You Want, Turn to Your Heart

If you don't know what you want, turn your head off and turn to your heart. Ask yourself for help and you will find the answers. Be patient with yourself and trust the answers will come. Your head has an agenda for your life. It chatters loudly and boldly sometimes, and it can get in your way. You heart has a different voice. Sometimes is speaks more softly and gently so you need to give it time to express itself. Your heart speaks with the tone of wisdom. Your heart can be spontaneous and surprise you. And it knows what is truly best for you. Your heart also takes feelings, experiences and intuition into account. Give yourself time and permission to listen to your inner voice and trust that your heart is ready to guide you to the right place. From this place you can begin to create a picture that is best and most right for you!

"Some people see things as they are and say 'Why'. I dream of things that never were and say 'Why not'." ~George Bernard Shaw

The Second Life Platform - Greetings! I'm not sure how many of you have heard of or are sensitive to Second Life and its related entities. However, Second Life is a fantastic platform to mimmick real life business operations in a real currency based economy. There are plenty of successful stories for creative individuals, but I'd highly suggest doing your research and appreciating Second Life for what it is, and what it isn't.

So are you currently a member? And more importantly, have you tried to open a store front in that virtual world?
Re: What works for you? - Great question. I tend to come from the perspective that I pretty much control the pressure and stress in my life. I've found it helpful to prioritize what I need to do and focus on the things I love. The more attention I pay to my true interests the better results I get and the more fun I have. Life becomes a joy instead of a chore. [Link removed by forum admin]
Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
