Repeated these thoughts become a part of you and direct your actions.</p>
<p>I make things happen in my life. I take the initiative to get what I want and deserve and I am thankful for all the positive things in my life. My job success, my friends, and my passions have all flourished because of my take-action attitude!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t sit by and wait for things to come my way. I overcome my fears and I proactively work for positive change in my life. I overcome my frustration and I persevere over adversity to achieve great things each and every day. I am strong and persistent and I am a go-getter.</p>
<p>I am so thankful for all the joys in my life.</p>
<p>I enjoy my home and the peace and serenity I have furnished it with. I can retreat to my home and feel safe and relaxed. I have this because I took the initiative to get it, and I am so thankful.</p>
<p>I enjoy the success I have in my work. My work provides me with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. I have this because I took the initiative to get it, and I am so thankful.</p>
<p>I enjoy my friends and the time I spend with them. I took the initiative to better myself and meet like-minded friends, and I am so thankful.</p>
<p>When I look at what I may want in my life, I organize my thoughts and skills with fine precision to achieve and accomplish my deepest desires. Today, and everyday, I am a go-getter.</p>
<p>Self-Reflection Questions:</p>
<p>1. What do I want to accomplish?<br />
2. What skills do I have at my disposal?<br />
3. What is my first step in making it happen?</p>
<p>Put <em>Motivational Thoughts</em> to work in your life everyday.</p>

</div>
<p>Your goals are important, they are where you are going, they are your future.  Nurture them and keep them alive and they will serve you well</p>
<p>One way to make the most of your summer is to focus on your life goals. Hopefully, you have a short list of objectives that you&#8217;re consistently working toward. If not, now&#8217;s the time to evaluate what&#8217;s most important to you and develop 3 to 5 life goals that help you create the life you desire.</p>
<p>Use these strategies to take advantage of this summer to help make your dreams come true:</p>
<p>1. Write out your objectives and make a plan. You most likely have your objectives in your mind, but writing them down makes your goals more real, tangible, and likely to happen. An action plan guides you forward from step to step.</p>
<p>* It&#8217;s much easier to focus your time on working to achieve your goals if you&#8217;ve thought them through in detail and made a written plan to achieve them.</p>
<p>2. Think about the spare time that you&#8217;ll have this summer. Wouldn&#8217;t you enjoy setting out to achieve one or two of your life goals in that spare time?</p>
<p>* You&#8217;ll have some evenings, weekends, and maybe even some weekdays free, depending on your work schedule. That&#8217;s a lot of time to devote to manifesting your dreams!</p>
<p>3. Set aside some time in your schedule to work towards your goals. Mark it on your calendar.</p>
<p>* For example, if your kids go to grandma&#8217;s house on Saturday mornings, block off from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, at least twice a month, to work on accomplishing your objectives.</p>
<p>* Planning to spend specific time working on what matters to you is necessary to achieve your goals.</p>
<p>4. If your aim is to relax more this summer, reflect on what helps you unwind. Summer is prime time for relaxation! Taking daily walks, working out at the gym, or knitting ardently might be your idea of taking it easy. Whatever it is, go for it!</p>
<p>5. Maybe you&#8217;ve always wanted to produce something. Perhaps you want to write a book of poetry or make furniture by hand. The summer is a perfect time for such projects.</p>
<p>6. Expand your knowledge. Perhaps you want more education. Colleges and universities now offer short-term courses for college credits that can be completed over a summer.</p>
<p>* Some educational institutions even offer weekend courses that take place over three or four weekends. Contact your local universities for information.</p>
<p>* The summer could also provide you the opportunity to take online courses.</p>
<p>7. Develop your skills. Designate this summer to learn a new skill or further perfect skills you already have.</p>
<p>* For example, maybe you&#8217;ve always wanted to make jewelry and need one more class to perfect your jewelry-making skills. Take that class this summer!</p>
<p>8. Is one of your goals to enjoy life more? You can get started today! Make plans to do something you&#8217;ve always wanted to do.</p>
<p>* Take a trip to lands you&#8217;ve always wanted to visit.</p>
<p>* Talk with friends or loved ones about getting together more often. Make a plan to meet up on a monthly basis just to have some fun this summer.</p>
<p>For many, summer is a chance for renewal and refreshment. Warm weather is the perfect time for this! Whether you take the first few steps toward a new plan or complete a lifelong objective is up to you. Embrace this summer as a time to achieve your goals.</p>
<p>Develop your mindpower to draw your goals to you and ensure that they come to fruition.  <a href="http://www.therealmikegriffin.com/brainpower" rel="" target="_blank">Learn more by clicking here</a>.</p>

	<a href="http://www.therealmikegriffin.com/ultimatebrainpower" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-3135" title="brain power" src="http://www.therealmikegriffin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/brainpower.jpg" alt="brain power" width="300" height="225" /></a>

</div>
<p>Have you ever noticed you don&#8217;t feel quite as mentally sharp when you do the same mundane things day in and day out? This is actually physically true. If you use your brain for new tasks, it gets sharper.</p>
<p>Our brains have an ability to actually change structure and physiology in response to new stimuli and challenges. To give your mind this kind of food for growth, try some of the suggestions below.</p>
<p>1. Play mental games. Crosswords, brain teasers, mazes, Sudoku, and other puzzles are all effective ways to challenge your mind. So try something new and really give your brain a workout. Even the occasional video game has something to offer.</p>
<p>* These are especially good if they&#8217;re new experiences for you. Someone just beginning crossword puzzles is going to experience more improvement in mental fitness than someone that has been doing them for years.</p>
<p>2. Exercise regularly. Moving your body during exercise accomplishes many things:</p>
<p>* The brain is forced to send stronger impulses to your muscles when moving vigorously or against resistance.<br />
* The coordination required and the use of muscles not normally used both challenge the brain.<br />
* The flow of blood and nutrients through the brain is increased.</p>
<p>3. Play music. Learning a new musical instrument is a great way to challenge your mental fitness. This is particularly true for someone who has never played a musical instrument.</p>
<p>* Learning musical theory is like learning a new language. Not only is music an enjoyable way to spend free time, but it&#8217;s also great for your brain. Now might be the perfect time to pull out the phone book and look into piano or violin lessons.</p>
<p>4. Meditate your way to mental fitness. Meditation challenges your brain by creating a new mental state. It&#8217;s relaxing, plus it teaches your mind the ability to focus, which is a huge task for many of us. Meditation is a great way to improve mental fitness.</p>
<p>5. Read something new every day. Reading is a complicated mental process that requires processing information quickly. Try reading something new that interests you. You&#8217;ll get the added benefit of novelty, enhance your brain function, and learn something as well.</p>
<p>6. Challenge your memory. Each day, take a minute and try to remember the previous day. What did you have for lunch? What happened at work? Try to remember what you did last weekend. What happened last Christmas?</p>
<p>* Make a list of 10 items and then see if you can remember them without cheating! Part of the memory loss sometimes associated with aging is due to not using our powers of recollection on a regular basis.</p>
<p>7. Watch less television. You&#8217;ll be amazed how much better you feel in every way if you watch less TV. You can do so many things to improve your mind and body that you&#8217;ll never get around to if you&#8217;re watching too much TV. They don&#8217;t call it the idiot box for nothing.</p>
<p>Your mental fitness doesn&#8217;t have to decline dramatically as you age. The key is to expose yourself to new and challenging experiences on a regular basis. So break up your routine and try something new.</p>
<p>Doing something new that makes you really think is even better. Turn off the TV and work on a crossword puzzle. Take up the guitar. Try a physical activity that&#8217;s new to you. There are lots of ways to improve your mental fitness. You can get started today!</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">what motivates you</p>
</div>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Knowing what motivates us can be a powerful bit of information.  You can set up conditions to make success a certanty.  Knowing what motivates us stacks the deck in our favor as we try to get ourselves to do the things we know we ought do.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Being able to figure out what motivates you will be a real benefit throughout your life. <strong><em>Once you know what brings you inspiration, you can draw from this list</em></strong> to keep you going whenever you need a boost.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Explore this process to discover your own motivations:</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">1.      </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong>Think about the most difficult situation you&#8217;ve ever experienced.</strong>Then record the answers to these questions:</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">What did you think about the event?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">How did you feel about it?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">How did you arrive at how you were going to handle and resolve the situation?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">What was important to you at the time &#8211; was it how you felt, what you thought your parents would think, what you believed was &#8220;the right thing to do&#8221; or something else?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Ultimately, what did you do to resolve the event?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">2.      </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong>Next, reflect on 2 or 3 of your biggest achievements.<em> </em></strong>Maybe for you, graduating from college or moving out on your own was a big achievement. Continue writing down your answers to these additional questions. This process will help you to identify your own motivations.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">What did you do to achieve your success?</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">How did you meet your goals?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">What did you think about during the process?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">What motivated you &#8211; looking out for your future, wanting to make more money, hoping to make your parents proud, or something else?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Did you visualize what your life would be like once you had achieved your goal?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">How much did you really want to achieve it?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">3.      </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong>Analyze your answers. </strong>After reflecting on the above questions, your mind will be more open to identifying what&#8217;s important to you. So far, what have you discovered that motivates you? Are you surprised at what you&#8217;ve found?</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">4.      </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong>How do you feel about these concepts?</strong> <strong><em>What motivates one person might not motivate another.</em></strong>Still, it&#8217;s likely that you&#8217;ll feel inspired by the same one or two issues consistently throughout your life.</span><strong><em>Ideas from this list may ring true to your feelings:</em></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You strive to feel like you&#8217;re doing &#8220;the right thing.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You want to increase your ability to earn more money.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Pursuing your passion propels you forward to accomplish more.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You hope to see the pride in your parents&#8217; eyes.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Maybe you seek recognition from other people &#8211; you hope to be noticed and admired.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You want to make your or your children&#8217;s futures better.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You feel the need to prove to yourself that you can achieve something. </span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">·         <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You like the idea of stepping up to a challenge in your life. </span></span></p>

<h1><span style="font-size: medium;">This Holosync Review will introduce you to Holosync and it&#8217;s advantages.</span></h1>
<p>If you are looking for a shortcut to meditation then this Holosync Review is for you.  First we will discuss what holosync is, it&#8217;s good points and bad points and finally discuss what is in the system.</p>
<p>This Holosync Review is a quick summary of the product which was created by Bill Harris to help people learn the skill of meditation using scientifically proven audio technology. If you&#8217;re someone who is interested in learning the skill of meditation and receiving the benefits of better health, more emotional stability, and better concentration and focus, then this product is something you need to look into. You&#8217;re probably already aware of the self hypnosis scripts and self hypnosis DVD products which offer a &#8220;lazy person&#8217;s&#8221; way of learning hypnosis or meditation.</p>
<p>But there are few products which have a track record like this one and are used in nearly 200 countries worldwide as this one is. So let&#8217;s begin this Holosync Review with a little bit about what other people have experienced from using the product.</p>
<p><strong>Can Nearly One Million People be Wrong?</strong></p>
<p>I suppose it is possible to fool nearly 1,000,000 people for at least a while. But Bill Harris&#8217;s Holosync technology has been around for two decades and is used in exactly 193 countries. That&#8217;s a pretty impressive track record considering the high volume of self hypnosis DVD products which have come and gone during that time. The people who have used this product claim that they have been able to make strides in meditation which they have been trying in vain to make for years. So instead of having to spend hours a day for several years to develop the skill of meditation, this product is helping people to do it within just months.  Learn more about <a href="http://www.centerpointe.com/?aid=372736" target="_blank">Holosync</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Holosync Review: Why it Works</strong></p>
<p>Okay, so how is it possible to develop the skill of deep and focused meditation within such a short time? The answer is that the Holosync technology uses audio stimulation which effortlessly places you within the electrical brain wave patterns which occur during deep meditation. Think of it like a specifically focused exercise machine which targets the exact muscles in your body which you want to grow&#8230; that&#8217;s what this product does with your brain. Only this time, it&#8217;s targeting specific brain waves which are consistent with the state accomplished by deep meditation.</p>
<p>Now, this really shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise to anyone since the brain is a body part which can definitely be conditioned through exposure to proper information and training. Just think about what happens to you when you go to school&#8230;same principle, only this is specifically designed to &#8220;exercise&#8221; your brain&#8217;s ability to generate the brain waves which are consistent with deep meditation.</p>
<p><strong>Some Buyer Beware</strong></p>
<p>As an addition to my Holosync Review I&#8217;d like to add that anything which carries the &#8220;done for you&#8221; selling point isn&#8217;t going to help you develop the discipline and willpower required to become great at meditation and to make time for it in your schedule. So just be sure you keep in mind that you&#8217;re willing to do some work, because frankly (in spite of the fact that they call this the lazy person&#8217;s way to meditate), lazy people seldom &#8220;find the time&#8221; for things like meditation and often get distracted by other things which aren&#8217;t as important. Anyway, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll find a happy medium.</p>
<p>The Holosync offer comes with a free 4-lesson online course Master Your Emotions, Your Actions, and Your Life,  which is valued at $199, and the offer comes with additional coaching on how to use the product&#8230;which is something you&#8217;ll definitely want to take advantage of. My opinion, if you&#8217;re serious about developing the skill of meditation, is that this is a great way to get started so that you can get the benefits without all of the extra time and effort required. Wish you the best in using the product and thanks for reading my Holosync Review!</p>
<p>So there is your shortcut to meditative bliss.  With just a few hours a week you will achieve meditative levels that only experienced meditaters ever reach.</p>
