Self Love: The Key To Happiness and Success

By Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Self LoveThe missing key to bringing you true happiness is found in self love. Self love is the requirement to building your success foundation.

Many of our goals and pursuits in life focus on finding happiness and success outside of ourselves. If you just get that raise…just loose those 10lbs…just move to another city…just acquire that car…you’ll be happy.

Happiness comes from within. Nothing wrong with getting a raise, losing weight, living your dream city or driving your dream car. They don’t produce lasting happiness.

Seeing the good in yourself, your inner greatness…your Magical Essence starts with loving yourself. When you love yourself, you see the good all around you. You enjoy the results of your achievements.

Positive affirmations provide a great way to begin a wonderful love affair with yourself.

Watch this short Self Love affirmation video.

Use these affirmation as a beginning to create your own list of self love affirmations.

Need some help in creating effective affirmations? Read the article series Creating Effective Affirmations. (you’ll find a free guidebook to use along with series in the Power Peeps Club)

Turning Passions and Goals into Reality

By Ann Rusnak 2 Comments

goals into reality

Turning your passions into reality requires you to do many things to make your passion really happen. These six things can assist you make it happen.

Believe

The most important thing to success comes down to self belief. Believe in yourself and you God-given abilities. You come into this world with the talents, gifts and abilities to make your passions a reality. Self belief is not about impressing others. In fact, you can still believe and pursue your passion without telling anyone. Believe and you feel empowered about the success of your endeavor.

Attitude

Your attitude will make you or break you. You need to maintain a complete positive attitude. Stay positive at all times. Don’t let the little things get you down or upset you.  You live your passion while seeing every obstacle as a learning experience.  You need to keep a positive outlook on everything you do with your business and your passion. 

A good attitude will help you experience more success in all areas of your life. Thing will begin to work in your favor more often when you maintain a positive attitude and outlook. It all comes down to the way you look at a situation and how you respond. A positive attitude makes a big difference .

Polish Your Idea

It can take time to implement your idea. You may need to do some prepping. Perhaps you need to layout a plan. What details will you need to consider? Stay flexible and let inspired action guide you.

Take Inspired Action

Your intention, not the action creates the desire in your passion.

You create first with thought. It is the thought of your desire, the focus of positive energy toward it that will build the conduit to your desire.

We often attempt to force the outcome. We want to move things along a little quicker, we get impatient, we want results right now. Forcing the outcome pushes away your desire.

Action based in fear move you away from your goal. Fear comes from the lack of belief and trust. Fear based action draw upon the negative and therefore will create negative energy around it.

Taking inspired action feels free flowing, like you could do it all day. It should feel effortless because of the excitement and passion about moving toward your goal.

You can reduce the need for action to a very minimum. Allow yourself to focus on what you desire until you feel the positive energy begin to move within you.

 Focus on your intent and do not take action until you feel positive emotion within you. In that moment you will know what to do. When you take action it will be the right thing at the right time.

Organize Your Life

Organize your life around your passion. Organize your time to participate in healthy activities like exercise. Make sure you get plenty of sleep too. Clean out the clutter by getting rid of unnecessary stuff and find "places" for what you keep. Whatever electronics or paper system you use, make it work for YOU not the other way around. Organizing tasks around the things you find passionate, will make you more successful and productive.

Visualize and Meditate

Don’t underestimate the importance of visualizing if you want your passion a reality. Meditation and visualization help you to see and experience the outcome of going after your passion. Visualize your idea with feelings to bring it into manifestation.  Meditation allows your ideas to manifest inside of you so you will make it happen. 

Start living the successful day that you have always dreamed of through visualization. For example, see yourself waking up at your ideal time, brew coffee, read the paper, talk on your blog etc.

Self Love Connection To Self Belief

By Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

You must believe in yourself in order for anyone else to believe in you.

Self Love Self Belief

Millions of individuals fail to live the life they always wish to live. They often give up on their big dreams and ambitions the moment they encounter their first obstacle.

Two big reason why people give up when obstacles come across their dream path:

1. The goal/dream didn’t really generate from their heart… in other words it wasn’t a true hearts desire. A true hearts desire/goal/dream invokes passion and makes you unstoppable unless…

2. You deny your hearts desire because you don’t believe you deserve it or can accomplish it. You don’t believe in yourself and your abilities.

People who believe in themselves know deep inside they can accomplish what ever they put their mind to doing.

Not believing in yourself signals a lack of self love. You need to love yourself first or it makes it hard to believe in yourself.

What is Self Love?

The dictionary defines it: The instinct or desire to promote one’s own well-being; regard for or love of one’s self.

Self love emanates a strong sense of respect for and confidence in oneself. Self love gives you the power to overcome the doubts about your own worthiness for success. Self-love gives you the ability to connect with your dreams. You then support yourself with encouraging thoughts and empowering actions.

When you love yourself, you accept yourself unconditionally. You believe in your own abilities, even if other people rally against you. Rarely does one succeeds without experiencing individuals resisting their ideas at one point or another

Self Love Protects You Against Your Critics

Generally, when you choose to pursue your hearts desire, you’ll find people will put you down. Especially if they failed to do something or gave up on their own dreams. These put downs often generate from your own family and friends.

Self love leads to a strong belief in yourself . This belief allows you to move forward even under the pressure of criticism.  You will start to question our own abilities and give up your dreams when you don’t believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself you’ll wind up discarding yourideas.

Those empowered with self belief will continue to pursue their hearts desire no matter what. They will enjoy the glory of success because they learned to love themselves.

Begin Your Success Journey With Self Love

Start loving yourself by beginning to see the wonder of you… your Magical Essence.  

You must first remove the distorted image of yourself. These resources can give you a good start.

You’ll find the Accurate Self Concept Assessment a wonderful tool, especially if you used along with free Guidebook located in the Power Peeps Club

Inspirational Video: Gratitude and Thanksgiving Quotes

By Ann Rusnak 3 Comments

Philip Watkins, an Eastern Washington University psychologist said "Troublesome thoughts pop up less frequently and with less intensity, which suggests that gratitude may enhance emotional healing. Thankfulness helps the brain fully process events, Watkins speculates. Grateful people achieve closure by making sense of negative events so that they mesh with a generally positive outlook."

The moment the emotion of gratitude touches you, your spirit lightens, your burden grows less and your smile comes more readily.

Make gratitude a part of consciousness… enjoy this collection of Gratitude and Thanksgiving quotes and video.

Thanks & Gratitude Quotes

If You Think…

The Victor

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will.
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are out classed, you are.
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster woman or man.
But sooner or later, the one who wins
Is the one WHO THINKS "I CAN!"
