To your success, Jason
What's New?This month has been busy at Shaping Your Destiny. Many of you have downloaded my e-book Study For Success. As it has been so popular, I have now completely re-written this book, more than doubling it in size and adding a lot more useful information to help you study successfully. The new e-book is called "The Power Of Effective Studying" and can be found at http://www.shapingyourdestiny.com/ebooks.htm There's a new enhanced forum area, with many new topics and much easier to use. Please take a moment to visit it and start some conversations. You can find the forums at http://www.shapingyourdestiny.com/forum/index.php Some more articles have also been added to the articles section (http://www.shapingyourdestiny.com/articles.htm). Keep your suggestions for improvement and additions coming, and I'll endeavour to add more to them.
Winners versus Losers The Winner is always a part of the answer; The Winner always has a program; The Winner says, "Let me do it for you;" The Winner sees an answer for every problem; The Winner says, "It may be difficult but it's possible;" ~Author Unknown (but a wise sage in any event)
Daily AffirmationTry the following affirmation 3 times every morning, and see the fantastic changes in your life. I recognise the infinite intelligence at work within me, and give thanks for it. Joy, happiness, cheerfulness, and positivity are my normal states of mind. Every day I become more and more lovable, loving, and understanding.

Perfect health is mine, and each day, my fitness, health, vision, and psychic senses all improve from their already peak condition.

Achieving Your GoalsYou may or may not have a set of written goals. If you do not, then I strongly urge you to make a written set of goals and clarify what you want to achieve. Whatever the case, you may be struggling with achieving your goals in life. In this article, you will learn some techniques for achieving your goals. Think of a time in your life when you achieved something you really wanted. Did you doubt it would happen and believe that you could not achieve it? Or did you have a solid sense of knowing that it would happen and doubt never entered into your mind? It was the second wasn't it? When Richard Branson set up Virgin Airways, did he sit in his office and wonder if it would ever work? Did Bill Gates sit in his office wondering if anyone would want to buy his Windows product? No, they both knew they would be successful and worked unceasingly to make it happen. When working to achieve your goals, you need that unerring sense of confidence and lack of doubt in yourself. You must Know it is going to happen and that you will succeed. We are not talking about thinking you will succeed, believing you will succeed or knowing you will achieve your goal. They are all intellectual forms of Knowing, Knowing with a capital K; that solid feeling in the pit of your stomach that you will make happen and you cannot fail. Expect it to happen and know there is no other way. It will happen. This Knowing gives you drive and commitment to see you through to the success of your goal. But how do you get this feeling? One of the best and most effective techniques is visualisation. You currently use the power of visualisation, probably without even realising it. Have you ever run through what you are going to say to someone before you have the conversation? Or seen yourself in your mind giving a presentation before you give it? That is the power of visualisation, and it is very potent. You can use it not only for your goals, but for any aspect of your life. Visualisation is something most people are unused to directing. You will find initially that your attention will wander, but you have to pull it back to the task at hand. It is similar to building a muscle up through exercise - it takes time to strengthen it. The exercise for visualising your goals is very simple, and is as follows.
With some goals you may want to keep them private. If you are trying to get fit and your friends know you have been less than energetic in the past when you tell them your goal, they will laugh and joke and not believe you. This doubt and disbelief can affect your belief in yourself and in your goal, which in turn can lead to failure to achieve the goal. It is hard enough to overcome our own doubts and worries without having to also overcome those of the people around you. Keep any goals where you may be influenced by others to yourself and let the people around you see the successful end result. Affirming Success Another method for achieving your goals is to use affirmations, which means you repeat your goal again and again to yourself. This is another method of programming your subconscious mind, which is the source of all action. An affirmation is a sentence or two that is written in a positive language with definite targets and timescales. A bad affirmation would be "I want to lose some weight." Your subconscious looks at this and since there is no timescale it will not leap into action. There is also no definite target so your subconscious does not know what to aim for. How is "some weight" defined? It is 10 pounds, but also 1 pound and also just 1 ounce. A good affirmation is "I want to lose 10 pounds by the end of this year." This sends the right messages to your subconscious. It knows that you exactly how much you have to lose (10 pounds) and when this must be done by (the end of this year). You know precisely what you have to do and when it has to be done by. If the goal is to lose 10 pounds by the end of the year, we need an action plan to get us to this goal and to make it happen. In this case the action plan may be to reduce our chocolate intake and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables we consume. The action plan is made up of a series of milestones. For example, if there are 5 months until the end of the year then our milestones would be to lose 2 pounds each month. Little Steps You may have a big goal such as "To have an income in excess of £100,000 a year by the time I am 35" (notice the goal is specific in both the timescale and the amount and does not put an upper limit on your earning potential.) This goal can be very daunting to look at, perhaps even enough for you to give up and not strive to achieve it. To overcome this, you break your goal down into a number of smaller, more manageable steps. Any large goal can be broken down into a number of sub-goals, which can then be broken down even further if necessary. Each of the sub-goals has an associated action plan with it. Using our income goal from above, sub-goals could be to understand taxation, to understand investment, to start your own company, and so on. Smaller goals are easier for you to handle, and help you to stay on course to your main goal. You also get the satisfaction of regularly having successes and achieving goals, which does wonders for your belief in yourself. All of your major goals and their associated sub-goals and action plans need to be regularly reviewed - ideally daily. This ensures you remain focussed on your goals and instantly know if you start to drift away from your target. It allows you to adjust your goals and action plan according to whether things are working quicker or slower than planned. It also prevents you from repeating actions and carrying out tasks that are not necessary. It keeps the goals in the forefront of your mind, and does not allow you to forget about them. Achieving our goals is something we all want to do, but it involves work. Rarely will they be given to us on a silver platter by a servant on bended knee. Achievement requires Knowing, drive and commitment, combined with careful and meticulous planning and a firm belief in ourselves. With unwavering belief and commitment there is nothing that you cannot achieve. Everything and anything is within your grasp - if you are willing to make the commitment to achieving it.
Wealth Building TipThis month's wealth building tip is about a course. There's nothing in it for me, before you groan, apart from the satisfaction that it may launch some of you on the road to financial freedom. You may have heard of Anthony Robbins, the self-development guru who changes the lives of millions of people. He does amazing things in personal transformation, but finances are a part of this transformation, and something that he has put a lot of effort into understanding and learning about. The results of this is a course called "Wealth Mastery" which is run in various locations around the world throughout the year. I have just come back from this and cannot say enough good things about it. The course is run by Tom McCarthy and Chuck Mellon. If you don't know who they are or you doubt their credentials. Look them up on the Internet. They are both fantastically wealthy and have no need to work. They run this course because they love what they do and they have a chance to help other people become financially free. The course is 4 very intense days long, and teaches you a hell of a lot. The first thing you learn is that the amount of money you have is about 80% due to your psychology. They then teach you strategies for successful investments. You learn how to invest on the stock market and how to reduce your risk to almost zero - and often actually play the stock market with money that isn't yours! You learn how to invest for short and long term gains from experts in their fields. You learn their strategies for successful investment, which you can then apply to your investments and start on your road to financial freedom. It is truly amazing what they teach you in those 4 days. Whilst there I met many wonderful people, some of whom had given up work through what they had learnt there and were now financially free - some of them after just 5 years! You can visit the web site http://www.wealthmastery.com to find out more information. If you are interested in shaping your financial destiny and want more information on this course, please email me at Jason@shapingyourdestiny.com or visit their web-site. Booking details are there, but if you need any help, please contact me.
Health TipThis month we are going to discuss a tip for health that most of us would rather avoid. It's that dreaded word "exercise". Many of us associate this word with pain, hardship, suffering, aching muscles, effort, and tiredness; to name but a few. But exercise is a vital part of health. Our bodies are high performance machines, designed for running across the steppes after woolly mammoths ;)!! The benefits of exercise are too numerous to mention, but include improved blood circulation, alertness, mental ability, and a great feeling of being alive. When I said exercise, how many of you immediately thought of a gym - rows of exhausted men and women on running machines, desperately trying to get "fit"? That's one method of exercise, but is it the best for you? If you're anything like me, you'll hate going to the gym. For me it lowers my self-esteem as I struggle to use the machines and get tired very quickly. Why not try alternate methods of exercise, to find something that you enjoy! Exercise does not have to be gruelling and something to suffer through. It should be something you enjoy, look forward to, and relish doing. Instead of dragging yourself to the gym every now and again, try going for a walk or bicycle ride instead. Try many forms of exercise; attend classes and discover one that works for you! Integrate exercise into your everyday life. Walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator; walk to the store instead of driving; and so on. These little adjustments to your life will make all the difference to your health and energy
