How To Choose Your Beliefs

In practically every area of your life, you are the problem and the solution. It may not always seem that way, but you encounter your resistance from the inside, not - as is commonly believed - from outside sources. When your subconscious mind accepts new beliefs whole new realities are suddenly available to you. As an example, lets say you hold a limiting belief that says " I find it hard to make new friends", this limiting belief is actually excusing you from making friends, you believe it is not your fault - you just find it hard. Therefore it is only logical and completely understandable that you don't make friends as your belief deludes you into believing that your lack of friends has nothing to do with you.

However, if you can change your belief to " I find it easy to make friends ", your diary won't suddenly fill up with new contact details or your telephone won't suddenly start ringing with new appointments, but you will have shifted your focus. Suddenly the problem is no longer out there, the problem is now with you. In other words you have now accepted responsibility for your reality and once you have done that, you can begin to examine what you need to change within yourself, and sometimes that simple change of attitude is all you need to open up numerous possibilities.

Now as you continue with your new belief, that it is easy to make friends, you will suddenly find new evidence to support this, which in turn strengthens your belief even more and you will make whatever changes are necessary to take full advantage of your newly emerging reality.

Challenge yourself to create new, and even more supportive beliefs, even if in the beginning you may not actually believe them on the surface. Constantly remind yourself that you can voluntarily, at will, plant in your subconscious mind any thought, idea or belief you desire, and your mind will accept it provided it is introduced with feeling and reinforced with constant repetition.

You see, the mind is a creature of habit, if you have allowed limiting beliefs and concepts to take root, you can crowd them out by creating new and more supportive beliefs, and by practicing daily until all traces of the old thoughts and beliefs have been completely replaced by the new ones. So do a mental spring-clean, its time to throw away the old limiting, self-defeating beliefs, however much they may be cherished, and replace them.

The following list may be helpful to you, to identify some of your limiting beliefs:-

• I can't do it.

• It won't last.

• Life is hard.

• I don't have time.

• I can't afford it.

• I'm too young.

• I'm too old.

• Nothing is easy.

• It will never work for me.

• I never have any good luck

• There are no opportunities left.

• It's not my fault.

If any of these sound familiar to you, you must begin immediately to steadfastly imprint new, more positively supportive beliefs. Allowing ourselves to succeed means being willing to give up the excuses which hold us back, and the security and other benefits we have derived from failure. Millions of people are content to stay as they are and will make no attempt to change, despite being unsatisfied with their present situation. They believe that success is destined for somebody else, and that it will never happen for them. They fail to understand that you don't wait for life to happen to you, you MAKE life happen to you by what you are thinking, and when you are aware of what you are thinking you can control your own destiny.

So what about you, are you prepared to shake off your old limiting beliefs, are you prepared to ditch your old excuses and assume responsibility for your life? If so then in my next article I will help you to "Explore Your Possibilities".

Until then...................................

Re: Do bigger monitors save time? - Hi Kevin, Thanks for the welcome! I would agree that two 17's would work well but really, any size would work. I'd be careful in going after the larger monitors that are traditional heights but are really wide, unless you have the desk space for it. Choose your monitors carefully as well to ensure that you try to find ones that have a small frame outside of the actual monitor screen. That way, when you put them together, the screens look a little more uniform. Last tip for either multiple monitors or one large one... Speed your mouse motion up. If you don't, you'll spend forever scrolling from one screen to another or across a larger screen. It'll take a bit to get used to at first but after a few days, using a mouse with regular motion will seem painstakingly slow!

But if choosing monitors with smaller frames outside of the actual screen space is important when using 2 monitors...then wouldn't using a laptop and a secondary monitor be a bad idea? And are there any current monitor brands and models you would recommend? For instance, for the same price, should someone go for a slightly larger screen or a smaller one with Dell's "Ultrasharp" feature?
How To Add A Paypal Button To Blogger - Hi Brendan, The blog is looking good. If possible, try to post something on it every day. You can vary the length of the posts, just something short when time is tight. There are two parts to getting the Paypal code on your site. First is getting the Paypal code! Second is getting it on your site! HOW TO GET YOUR PAYPAL CODE 1. Log in to Paypal 2. Click Merchant Services 3. Find the Key Features box on the right and click Donations. 4. Donations Page 1: Fill in the fields with your Donation name and a ref no. (the latter is not necessary). Choose a "Donate" button - I suggest the one with the pic of the credit cards beneath. It is up to you whether you "encrypt" or not. As you do not have a website there is no need to go to "Donations Page 2" for "more options", so you can just click "Create Button Now". 5. On the new page, click "Select All" for the "HTML Code for Websites" box and copy and paste the code to your blog. HOW TO GET YOUR PAYPAL DONATION BUTTON ON BLOGGER 1. Go to your Blogger.com dashboard. 2. Click the "Layout" tab. 3. Click "Add A Gadget" 4. Scroll down to HTML/JavaScript and click the + sign. 5. A small screen will pop up and you can PASTE your Paypal Donation Button code there and add a title if you wish. 6. Click SAVE on the small screen. 7. Now, back on the main screen you can preview and then SAVE. If all has gone well, you should now have a Paypal Donation button on your blog. === Best wishes, David H
Avoid Franchise Mistakes - I Came across these 7 tips for helping you avoid costly mistakes when buying a franchise & thought they would be helpful... It takes a lot of money to build a business, and you certainly don't want to waste any. Check this list of 7 costly mistakes to avoid. 1. Letting emotions rule. Falling in love with a franchise concept is a common mistake. Don't let your emotions guide your decisions. Use your head, do your due diligence and take the time to thoroughly investigate the franchisor's offering. 2. No professional team. Don't try to do your own financials, contract reviews, or negotiating. The cost of professional franchise attorneys, accountants, and advisors is money well spent. 3. Too little cash. Lack of capital is the number one reason franchisees fail. Item 7 in the UFOC will tell you how much money you'll need with a low and high range. Be smart-go with the high range. Then ask current franchisees if the numbers are high enough. 4. Penny wise and pound foolish. Choosing one franchise over another because the initial franchisee fees are lower is shortsighted. It assumes that all franchises are alike and nothing could be further from the truth. Choose the franchise with the proven concept and strongest track record. 5. Too much help. Payroll is the biggest part of overhead for most franchise businesses. New franchisees often hire too many people or pay too much in wages. A good franchisor will provide a good staffing plan. Stick to the plan. 6. No comparison. Never buy expensive equipment, supplies or inventory without shopping around first. Even if your franchisor offers group purchasing, do your own research, shop as many vendors as you can, consider aftermarket suppliers, and weigh different financing options (loans or leases). 7. Marketing blunders. As a new business owner, you're going to be targeted by every ad salesperson around. Ignore them. Follow your franchisor's marketing plan to the letter to avoid wasting thousands.

That's why, in business capital, investments is truly important to save to in every risk that can be possibly avoided.
