Your Winners Circle

Getting Back to the Basics from Gardening to Parenting and Everything in between

This is the tag line for an amazing website that tells the story of a family who is choosing to look for a healthier more natural way of taking care of themselves and raising their two boys.  "This is a story about change, responsibility, and above all, hope… just one family’s transformation fueled by a simple hope for a better future for themselves and their planet." says Michelle of Phoenix, Arizona.  And change it is.

Some time ago this family was featured as one of five family that competed for the most frugal family in the Valley of the Sun by the Phoenix Gazette newspaper. They did not win as their online vote count did not quite top the charts but that did not stop the Wanders family.  They began to create their own homestead and their progress, Natural Wanderings is well worth following as they venture into the world of micro farming.

Michelle, the mom of two boys left her career as a speech language pathologist to give her family the best of her in their growing years. Dave who works for an insurance company spends his off time preparing what once was a green and grassy back yard into their homestead.  The two work together and believe that God will bless this return to natural living and I believe this as well.  This is a huge undertaking but with the attention of health care nutritionists turning more to natural foods, this family is on the right track.

    

Michelle plans to share information on gardening and the raising of her new family edition...the chickens...as well as her two sons as the visions and dreams turn into reality.  She will also share the newest resources as she finds them and photos to allow you to watch the progress as well.  Success has already been had as you see her pictured beside the sunflowers they grew last season. 

 

What Does It Really Take To Become A Winner

Just recently I had the opportunity to congratulate a young lady who took a dream and made it a reality, Lisa Schrolucke.  She placed in the top ten in her first fitness competition.  I look forward to being a witness to the continued progress as she steps up the pace and moves to the next level.  But what really does it take to become a winner. 

As a professional make artist, Lisa first earned her certification in personal fitness training.  After countless weeks of training and diet, her determination to make it happen kept her on course.  When the going got rough she kept her eye on the finishline and the prize that was just beyond...realization of her dream.

 Lisa maintains Rock The Workout and in her post Success is Sweet she shares what it was like to taste the sweetness of accomplishment.  I believe that Lisa is the next up and coming expert in the field of personal fitness training especially for women. 

So what is the next level for you?  What do you have to do to get there?  An are you willing to do whatever it takes to succeed?  Those are the questions that a winner will ask continually ask as they travel down their road to success and the reality of their dream. 

The Power Of Your Intention Creates The Pathway For Your Successes

Now that we have begun a new year, it is time to re-evaluate our own direction, goals and intentions that will set the stage for our tomorrows. It is also a time to look back at the previous year and evaluate our milestones and successes we accomplished along the way. This is where your journal comes in.  If you do not have a journal or did not take the time to fill one in, then shame on you.  The best of the best mentors and coaches recommend that you keep a journal to track your progress and celebrate your wins. 

Your intention can sometimes be more powerful than your goals.  Your intention is a mindset and when you engage the power of your mindset, your engage the power of the Universal Laws of Attraction.  The mindset is also where you continue to focus on positive energy.  Even when things are not going as well you you may expect, your positivity prevent mental road block to interfere with the intention you set. Your goals are the stepping stones that get you to completion of that intention.

The power of your intention also engages your belief system.  Many set goals but do not actually believe that they will achieve them.  Much like New Years Resolutions.  People set New Years Resolutions without the true intention of keeping them.  They may try but if the resolution is not back by true intention it will fail. Your intention works hand in hand with your determination.  When you set a true intention, you become determined to achieve that level of success and set goals accordingly to do so.  Once you reach the completion of that intention you set a new one with the determination and goals.  The cycle must complete itself for success to be achieved.  So if your serious about take your success to a higher level, start setting solid intention and invest in a journal  as your tracking and reference tool and will see a level of success much higher that you might have imagined.

The Power Of Intention Is Real And It is Mighty Especially When Expressed

Just recently I had the opportunity to experience the power of intention in a very amazing way.  I recieve VIP invitations to a variety of social and networking events and one particular event being held at Lavo at the Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas was giving away a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes.  I RSVP'd for two and took a friend with me reminding her to bring a business card to put in for the drawing. 

We arrived early (as all Goddesses should) and I have to admit that I did not know what Jimmy Choos were but told my friend that I was going to win those shoes.  She laughed at me and politely informed me that they are spoken about all the time on "Sex in The City" and were very expensive shoes. She laughed even more when I informed her that I did not watch that TV show either.  But I truely believed that I was going to win those shoes.  We enjoyed cocktails, chatted with old friends and made a few new ones as well.  When the evening came to an end someone came to me and told me that some girl named Bonnie won the shoes however when I inquired about the winner, no one seemed to be able to give me an answer so we left and went home.

One week later I wrote an email to the sponsors to learn who the winner was to find out it was in fact ME!  I was so excited.  This was truely a display of the power that a spoken intention is and the testimony it was for someone who was unsure of the power a person can hold when they truely believe.  We went back to Lavo to celebrate the success and enjoy my beautiful pair of Jimmy Choos!

Just last evening we attended another mixer where a membership was being given in a drawing.  I did not have a business card handy so my same friend wrote my name on one for the sponsors business card and tossed it in the pitcher.  When the drawing came she and I watched as the card that was drawn had my business card struck for brief moment then it fell back into the pitcher.  The difference between the two drawings was that in my heart I did not truely want to win the membership. I believed I could.  But the testimony spoke loudly of the power that even a half hearted intention can porduce. What are your intentions saying to yourself and those around you.  It is not enough to just think them, you must speak them and above all believe in them and you too will be blessed with that which you believe.

All You Have To Do Is Say To Yourself ....Yes I Can

 Everything that you dream about and hold in your mind can and will manifest itself as long as you believe that anything's possible. You have the choice in every moment of your day to make those decisions that support you. When you open you up to the knowing that when YOU are able to have an attitude that you can accomplish all you set your mind out to do the universe hears you and brings to you all the resources you need. It only takes a simple yet profound attitude of Yes I Can. Give yourself the gift of believing that you can. Are you willing to look at yourself honestly and see where you stop yourself? Will you give yourself permission to feel the emotions of fear that come up when you are faced with change and transformation? Are you ready to walk through any and all false beliefs about who you may think you are? Say yes to all these questions and begin to walk a new path towards your goals with an intensity and commitment to all the excellence that you are.

No where is there a better place to start believing in yourself than in your heart. You are a magnificent creation of pure potential. When you let false beliefs and old conditioning have its way with you, you begin to doubt and buy into those thoughts of lack. Limitation and fear is then made up as defense mechanisms designed to protect you.  You are not those thoughts. You are the creator of greatness and there is only perfection right where you are.  When you start to tell yourself this, your whole world will shift into a higher vibration of anything's possible consciousness. You will automatically create the life you desire. It all starts with you being able to hold the vibration of Yes I Can in  every area of your life. The determination you have to succeed is always present. You just need to live from it. Let go of old habits that don't serve you anymore and bring new life to your journey. Water your garden of opportunity with the essence of greatness that is your natural state. Watch as the abundance and prosperity that is calling you to messages of support begin to show up in all you do.  All you have to do is say to yourself ………….…..Yes I Can!

Learn From Your Mistakes To Strengthen The Growth In All Areas Of Your Life

There is a saying that most have heard which states that you learn more from your mistakes that you do your success. This really does tend to be true. Not everything you do will work or create the result that you desire. when you make mistakes or almost get it right, you are in the process of eventually getting it right.  This process is also advantageous in building your confidence and self esteem.  This formula of what worked...what did not...and what can I do dirfferently is how I learned from my mistakes and move forward toward my goals and success. 

One of the most important things that anyone can learn from their mistakes is that in order to be successful, you have to be willing to take risks.  Most people are not willing to do that because they have a fear of failure and what others may think of them.  This fear comes from the lack of self esteem. When you can raise your self esteem you will not be so concerned about what other people think about you.

Your self esteem has everything to do with how you will rise on your road to success.  Your mistakes are your building blocks.  So when it seems like things are going right or turning out as you planned, look at what did work and build on that foundation.  Take a look at what did not work and insure that you do not repeat that part of the process.  With some good feedback, see what you can do differently to success the next time around.  Each time you do this and see positive results, your self esteem grow in the same process and your confidence level will grow.

Even In These Turbulent Times, Never Give Up On Your Dreams

It has become apparent that many people have thrown in the towel and given up on what was once their dreams.  I don't believe they realize that your dreams are what should and will spur you on in tough times even more that the prosperous times. 

A great practice to help you get back on track is to take time every morning  to visualize those things that you want in your life and hold those thoughts for at least sixty seconds.  But another more important step is to daydream periodically throughout the day about those same things.  When your daytime dreams are more concious and you ae aware of what you want, you can then dream them into reality. 

One more practice you can implement is to visualize those very same dreams each night befiore you go to sleep.  By doing this, it sets your subconcious mind in action to work with the energy of the universe to find ways to bring those dreams to life.  Make a list of the smaller wants and one by one as you acquire them mark them off your list and watch how quickly these things come into your life.  That makes it easier to bring to life the larger dreams one by one also. 

Especially now it is imperative to hang onto what drives you to success.  What you focus on expands and that includes problems. This is why it is so important to focus on your successes. Write them down! The 365 Days Of Successes Journal a great motivation and inspirational journal to help keep you on track and moving forward toward your goals and dreams.Visualize your future and take advantage of what is...one man's trash is another man's gold.  This is a great time to get better as what you do and become flexible. 

Looking At Your Life Through The Innocent Eyes Of A Child

When we were young we were excited about each day.  We entered the day as if it was a new adventure, which it was.  The purity of life shone like the morning sun.  But as we grew older we have forgotten the beauty of the day and of life itself.  Our attitudes changed with the times and circumstances.  And we began to see ourselves as old or older.  We forget that how we think is how we become.  So we become less vibrant and our other selves begin to fade away.

It is time we look at ourselves as a new person.  Allow our hearts to beam with life, no matter what the outside world says or thinks.   Take a few minutes to re-evaluate how we look at ourselves and that will shine through to the outside.  You will soon notice a change in the way you look, feel, walk, talk and smile.  You do not need to buy a full new wardrobe or run of for plastic surgery.  Find one new article of clothing, change your hairstyle or the color of your hair just a little.  Get a facial or massage to feel more alive.  A pedicure works wonders.  All of this can be done by a male or female to rejuvinate the you that is hiding on the inside. You will be amazed at how differently you look at your life and how differently the people around you will see you.   Your confidence level will soar.  Your new self image will also encourage changes just because like attracts like.  You will see the winner that you really are. It is a universal law.
