Counting Your Blessings with Love ~ By Ahtisham Khero

Relationships are truly blessings while love is the world’s best creation by the Creator.  Relationships connect the soul to the soul...the heart to the heart by developing feelings, emotions, positive thoughts, and visualization. 

Sometimes, people can’t understand this amazing gratification of life with love and warmth so they to try to find out what are the causes and reasons and get wedged in thoughts until finally they get handicapped by restrictions, limitation and fears.  Whereas, on the other side, some people feel that we are blessed by God with love, sincerity, feelings, expressions, happiness, understanding, spiritual connection, and some even find their soulmate.  

So rather than being captive by conceptual barriers, a person could shift their perception of love and welcome blessings instead because most of the time conceptual barriers create blocks which directly affects natural expressions,  feelings, and can also create blocks within your partner, as well.  Yet when we welcome blessings, it makes your life so much more beautiful and satisfying.

As life is a journey of ups and downs, so too are relationships that can also go through certain phases over a period of time.  And an indispensable way to get back on track is to communicate, share, express love and give more time to each other to balance the expression of connection. I personally believe relationships can sustain and last a lifetime when there is connection.  And all that it truly takes is to take care of this connection and nurture it.  

Growing, Learning, Moving Forward and Soaring to Success By Kim Somers Egelsee

Question: "I feel like I am at a stand still in life. I am bored and am not sure what steps to take next? What should I do?"

One of the fastest ways for you to grow yourself and your business, find your purpose, meet phenomenal people, gain life altering knowledge, evolve as a person, and have the positive powerful energy of success is to be involved in a mastermind and/or regularly attend workshops, seminars, events or retreats. 

Many wonder what all of the fuss or hype is all about? Why can't I just sit home and read or watch a DVD? Reading, watching a DVD, or listening to inspiring CDs in the car are very effective ways to grow and achieve. However, the difference when you actually attend and participate in a  positive live event or meeting is HUGE! You truly stimulate all of your senses, and engage your mind in very deep ways. The energy created by you and those around you can be felt throughout the room. The energy of being involved in a mastermind, workshop, seminar or retreat with positive people creating growth and change together is an extraordinary shift for all involved. However, you do have to be "involved". 

Here are some tips for getting the most out of seminars and retreats:

1. Choose the right ones to attend with your heart and your intuition. Are the right positive like-minded people going to attend? Does this topic stimulate my mind? Would my life be enhanced by attending this? Would memories be created by being there?
2. Have the intention right away that you will grow and evolve. Soak it in. It doesn't mean that you have to use all of the information but take it in like a college course and use what applies to you.
3. Communicate with others there; the attendees, the speaker or teacher. Get to know them. (Some of the people you meet at seminars become life long friends, strategic partners, referral buddies, accountability partners and more.) Personally, I have done the research. Personal development events are the BEST way to meet the people that uplift you personally, AND help you in your success in business.
4. Take notes, visualize, be receptive and open minded. Take it in and apply it.
5. PARTICIPATE!
6. Be approachable and flexible.
7. Feel the energy, power, greatness of knowledge and extraordinary learning, growth and change.
8. Finally, realize that when you step out of your home or office into an event or workshop that inspires, it brings out your spirit within (where there are no phone calls, computers, or distractions nearby). It elevates your consciousness bit by bit. And, step by step you evolve into your true self.

TRY IT!

THE POWER OF GRATITUDE AND GIVING ~ By Kim Somers Egelsee

Starting today, tell at least one person a day that you are grateful for something. You could thank them for an opportunity that they have given you, comment that you are so glad it is a beautiful day outside, appreciate someone's smile, and let them know it has lifted your spirits, or even call your friend just to tell them something nice. Make it a goal to give to others every day. Give a friend advice, connect a colleague with someone that can give them an opportunity, send a card to a loved one. The powerful combination of giving and gratitude adds positive energy to your life and fuels you forward.

Having gratitude uplifts your day, your life, your being. If you are having a bad day, speaking gratitude out loud will actually change your brain and thoughts to the positive, and interrupt that negativity. Giving someone you either know or even do not know a sincere compliment also adds in that powerful positive fuel. Gratitude and giving energize you inside and out.

Another way to add a positive zing to your life with gratitude is to wake up and be thankful for the day, your body, your health, your family. Even if you're feeling less than amazing, this gratitude energy will give you that extra percent of zest that you need to start your day. 

Now, go try both!

People Who SUE You - By Kim Somers Egelsee

Question: Motivational speakers are always emphasizing the importance of being around successful, positive people, and staying away from those who bring you down. How do I begin to attract friends and connections like this, and not feel insecure or different when meeting them?

Advice/Coaching: This is true. It is very important to be around the people that “SUE” you; support, uplift and encourage you. It’s also wonderful for you to be this way with them. If you take inventory of the people around you regularly, and there are a lot of energy suckers and negative Nellies, it is time to make over your connections and contacts. 

The best way to do this is to start by looking at yourself. What are your best qualities, talents and attributes. What can you do to boost your confidence? You can go out and get a new jacket, trim your hair, smile more, and practice being more friendly and outgoing. You can even read a book like “How to Win Friends and Influence People” By Dale Carnegie for added wisdom.  

Next, you want to actually make a list of the “Ideal” types of people you want in your life and your circle. Do you want someone who is a talented entrepreneur, an artist, a positive author, someone you’d like to be like, and/or compassionate, creative and kind people? Maybe you would like a new mentor. 

Third, think about the people that you know, know of and even know through social media. Which of these people would you like in your life more? 

Fourth, create a plan on how to begin spending more time with positive and powerful like-minded people. It is magnificent how much just this alone can enhance and uplift your life. Your plan can include items, such as:

• Attending two networking, connecting, inspirational or self development meetings per month 
• Asking one new person to meet for coffee every three weeks
• Saying yes to events where you know you will meet new fantastic beings, and/or 
• Taking one class or joining one group that involves something you are passionate about.  

You can send emails or messages to those you intuitively and energetically just know are meant to be a contact and just ask them to coffee, lunch or for a phone meeting. See how you can both help one another with your businesses, brainstorm on how you can partner for a project, or attend a Toastmasters meeting together. 

Fifth, begin taking action. This will truly, absolutely and certainly be life changing and make your 2014 better than any other year.
