So you want to be successful in life? Is that what you want? Then you better stop failing and become aware of these 10 ways to fail in life.

You see, I’ve been asked many times for how to achieve success and weird enough, seems like nobody’s taking that advice seriously. Then I realized one thing – most people are ALREADY failing before they even got started!

The article I wrote below is slightly controversy compare to the normal goodie-type self help advice because this is the TRUTH. If I want to keep everyone happy and write about the colorful rainbow, birds chirping, flowers blooming, etc then I should just opens up a nursery home and take care of children. I want to tell you the truth straight to your face because I’ve been there and heard the garbage lies thrown everywhere.

Avoid these and you’ll automatically be on the right track (provided you want to be successful)…

1. Mixing With Losers
It’s a guaranteed way to fail in life with this. Whatever you like to do, losers will just tell you it won’t work and after some time, you will also become a loser. High five, welcome to the losers’ club. Something about losers you should know: they like to ‘recruit’ new people and are very comfortable in their shoes. They don’t welcome Changes. So when you see someone with any of these two characteristics, you know what you should do.

2. Don’t Know What You Want
The most common goal I hear all of the time is, “I want to be rich”. I mean it’s fine with that generic goal but the problem is, how rich do you want to be? Or how rich is rich? Put it this way – the methods used to make a million and $3,000 are different. No wonder some people couldn’t experience breakthroughs in life because they are playing small for big goals. If you want to make a million, you better put in that level of commitment, bucko.

3. You Want Everything
It’s nice to have a lot of things but if you go chasing everything, you get nothing. Let me tell you why – you only have 24 hours a day and you’ve got to focus on your priorities. I know, I know, you can hire others and so on but the fact is, you’ve got to want ’something’ first to lead to another ’something’, then to everything. Make sense?

4. Watching the “Secrets” Way Too Much
I’m not here to criticize Law Of Attractions (LOA) and don’t want to receive hate emails. As a matter of fact, I do believe in it and have friends who appeared in the Secrets. But it’s a surefire way to fail if you keep on watching the “Secrets” and doing ‘attraction’ by sitting down on your floor manifesting 3 hours a day. In my point of view, scientifically, Law of Attraction runs on the concept of ‘believing’. When you believe you can achieve your goal, you will take actions to actually achieve it but if you don’t understand this basic element and think LOA is some sort of miracle remedy, oh boy, you’re in for a big surprise for failure.

5. You Don’t Truly Know Why You Want Success
Wanting everything is bad enough – but it gets even worse if you don’t even know the reason why you’re trying to achieve your goal. What’s the deal? Without a solid reason, a compelling reason, where are you going to find the motivation and encouragement for you to overcome obstacles? You think it’s going to be fun ride to success? Then you haven’t been traveling – it’s a rocky road, my friend. Most people failed to achieve their goals because they never complete the journey– they give up half way (or at the beginning) because they cannot see the worth of accomplishments.

6. You Don’t Remember Your Roots
The thing I get most irritated about is people who achieved success and never felt gratitude towards those who have helped them. Is it very hard to say, ‘thank you’? The law of reciprocity is simple – you return favors to those who helped you in the past. And maybe, they’ll help you again in the future. Remember this- it takes more than just you to achieve success, so don’t be a jerk.

7. You Think You’re Smart
The day you stop learning is the day you stop improving yourself. If you don’t want to fail in life, make you sure you stop acting as though you already know everything. The fact is, all successful people are people who continuously learn to be even more successful. They don’t stop. Let me put it in this perspective – you don’t know what you don’t know, you know?

8. You Listen To The Wrong People
I watched this funny movie called, “He Is Just Not That Into You” and it just reaffirmed what I’m about to tell you. At the beginning of the movie, it shows a clip of a boy pushing a girl in the playground because he somehow doesn’t like her. He thinks she smells like dog pooh. She cried and asked her mum why did the boy do that to her. And her mum replied, “It’s because boys do that to girls when they like you.” Do yourself a favor, don’t get wrong advice. It’ll stick in your brain and lead you to make stupid interpretations in life.

9. You Think Short Term
You’ll hear this happening often in many ’successful’ people’s stories – make a lot of money to lose it all. This probably because they became too comfortable and the other thing is, once you achieve success, you should ride on the wave when the momentum is there. When you think short term, you’re only going after the instant pleasure. You must learn to master ‘delay gratification’ so that you can enjoy your today’s labor.

10. You’re Blinded With What Is Important In Life
I believe there are only two things that are important in your life – control of time and experiencing happiness. Money, love, big cars, diamonds, etc are the things that contribute to these 2 benchmarks of successes. For instance, if you have money, you don’t need to work so that you can have more time to do the things you like. It’s not the money that you’re trying to get but what the money CAN DO FOR YOU. I know this topic is bigger than one sentence explanation but I guess you get the point. You’re a smart fella.

So now you know the 10 ways to fail in life. Question is, are you doing any of these? I’ll be BS’ng you if I said I don’t. I’m human dude, flesh and blood – I do mistakes too.

But I was fortunate to experience my fair share of success today because I learn powerful lessons from other successful people…

“It’s okay to fail and you should fail as many times as you can. That is how you learn but more importantly, you should never give up – each time you get kick dirt in your face, wash your face and ‘fight’ back. Don’t go crying like a sissy because Mum’s not going to come cleaning your face.”

Are you ready? Go get your goals.

How to stop smoking for good is an often heard question from patients to doctors. Even at church the topic of how to use spirituality to quit smoking is taking on steam. But you know what? They can ask that question until they are blue in the face and the answer will still be the same, it starts with you.
hypnosis stop smoking

That’s right my smoking friend. The answer to how to stop smoking starts and ends with you. People have the mistaken notion that they are powerless. This is not true. You have been endowed from the creator with inalienable powers. But the trouble with us is that we have used those powers against ourselves.

Here is an example.

If you know that drinking coffee at Starbucks will cost you $5 dollars for a mocha grande whatever drink and continue to do so even though your wife tells you that we need to save more money, then you are using your power in the wrong way.

If you go out and spend money on your hobby of scrap booking with the girls because you just want to create memories and spend time nesting with other women, even though your husband says we need to spend some time together, then you are using your power in the wrong way.

In both examples, i tried not to be sexist but the realities here is that as it pertains to smoking, you’ve got power but you are using it in the wrong way.

Your power is your right to choose what you want to do. Which habits you want to serve you. The best advice I can give is to take a few moments to do an inventory of your smoking habit.

Write it down on a piece of paper, please. Anything in writing takes on more power to us. So, write down what it is that smoking is costing you today. You can record the time lose from work due to bronchitis, you know that smokers cough you’ve been developing. It will only get worse from here on in.

You could just chronicle how much you spend on the habit. Tobacco, lighters, cigars, ashtrays, special gum, dentil teeth whitening, and on and on. All of these would give you a very real world picture of what smoking costs you.

Next, I want you to look seriously at using hypnosis to quit smoking for good. This method just doesn’t get the eyeballs in comparison with Chantix and those big dollar advertisements you see everywhere.

The biggest reason to try hypnosis is because it works. But it won’t work for you if you have a negative or pessimistic attitude about it. You can get started using these tools for free. The peaceful relaxing sounds of meditation on this subject that establishes a better and much stronger habit that works for you and not against you may be just what you are looking for today.

What is ” The Law of Attraction” ?

The Law of Attraction Simply states that whatever we Focus on will be drawn to us.

The “Nut and Bolts” of the Law of Attraction

The the law of attraction starts in our minds mixed with our emotions. As You are aware thought and emotions are energy. We can’t see the energy but science has proven that they exists. Our brain show ‘brain waves” when we are thinking and this can be displayed on the monitor of a brain wave machine. Our brain activity can be demonstrated in what science calls alpha-waves, beta-waves, theta-waves and delta-waves. These are all manifestation of energy. The law of attraction is best explained by briefly taking a look at Quantum Physics Quantum Physics. It is the study of the building blocks of the universe. Quantum Physics has proven that everything in this universe is made up of atoms, and atoms are made up of sub-atomic particles sometimes called quanta. These sub-atomic particles are nothing but concentration of energy.

It has become clear that everything in this universe is made of energy. The only difference between an atom of Iron and an atom of gold is that the atom of iron has energy that is vibrating at a different frequency to the energy of gold. It is clear that the reason why the same particles grow together is because they are vibrating at the same frequency.

How the Law of Attraction work?

In order to explain how the Law of Attraction works we need to understand what thought are.

Thoughts are Vibrational Energy and a very potent form of energy. That means that it will be attract to other energy with the same frequency. when we hold a thought in our mind or the picture of an item we would like to attract then the picture in our mind (thought) is at the same frequency of the item we are attempting to attract. This is a very simplified explanation of how we attract things to us.

How to implement the law of attraction

step 1: Determine what it is that you would like to Attract hold a picture in your mind.
Step 2: Hold the picture in your mind for as long and as often as possible

It has been a few years since we saw the secret movie hit our screens and we now see that so many people are excited and still talking about the use of the law of attraction as well as how the law of attraction is acting everyday to affect our lives and the outcomes that we see on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. Those of us who are really interested in goal setting and making sure our lives movie forward as we desire will continue to research into the law of attraction and how we can make use of it.

All who want to take control of their lives should get to grips with and learn all they can about the law of attraction.

We have all been told that we need to get intensely involved in goal setting and many people out there stop at that point. We could say that there are various levels to goal setting and when we get down into dealing with the law of attraction and the subconscious mind this could be termed as getting into the advanced levels of personal development.

When we work on our personal development then we see benefits in various areas of our life including increased confidence and self esteem and self esteem and then we become able to move forward unstoppably to being the kinds of people that we wish to be based on our improve confidence. We can tell the people around us who are full of self confidence, they seem to walk with a certain amount of surety about them and for some reason other people want to be around them in order to learn from them and to somehow become more and more like them.

When we are dealing with personal development we can see how all things hang together and how the level of our positive words feeds directly into how we program our subconscious minds in order to create the lives that we picture in our minds eye. All we need to is to keep focused on that which we want, keep the level of our positive thinking high and then move forward with our lives.

People who believe that hypnosis is a power are probably the same people who believe that the magic of a magician, or what is known as an illusionist, is real too.

It sounds so unbelievable, but then again, the whole basis of hypnosis is your willingness to believe.

Every week I read at least 20 blogs that have the word “Shameless Self Promotion” in them when the writers mention themselves or products.I never understand why so many people say this. I get blog posts daily related to self promotion and the majority of them are start with the words “a bit of Shameless Self Promotion”.

Is Self Promotion a bad thing?

You might think that the title “Shameless Self Promotion” appears once in a while here and there on a blog or a website. No, I’m talking 80% of the internet posts that talk about self promotion start with some variation of “Shameless Self Promotion”.When I saw this I decided to write a blog, then articles and finally a self help book.

Are you afraid of promoting yourself?Are you afraid that others will not like you because you are selling or marketing or promoting? What’s going on? For starters, most of these internet entries come from people that have great content on their websites and blogs, so promote it, otherwise people will never find out and benefit from that content.

Here are some tips from the book “The Unselfish Guide to Self Promotion”

  • Talking is not selling. Don’t just talk about yourself, or your products and your services. Talking is not selling. You need to listen.
  • Always be smiling. People tend to gravitate towards people who are and look happy. Don’t forget to smile at everyone, all the time.
  • Dress the part. If you want to get a better job or a promotion dress like the position. I would dress like the CEO!

Maybe I can change your mind on what Self Promotion is and why it is never shameless. You see, self promotion is an impulse that started with survival, with a primal instinct of self preservation. Soon after it turned into a social skill that also required helping others to survive and strive in society in order to have more people helping each other and, yes, helping you.Self preservation started it all and now we have self promotion.

Now, you also have to remember that if you have a good product or a good service and people will benefit from it there is no shame in promoting it.Always remember, your products, servicess, content, blog, is providing a solution.This is the most important point of this article. –If you provide value you need to promote it- This value can be with a product or service and it can also be form your advice, expertise, stories or blog posts.This new strategy or way of living is now part of a book “The Unselfish Guide to Self Promotion”.

Unselfish Self Promotion means that you provide value first. You always provide some kind of “worth” to sociaty or readers or strangers.You give value in yourself and the way you interact with others.If you are unselfish and provide value you are using self promotion, or “unselfish self promotion”.

Can Really Hypnosis Helps To Quit Smoking?

The word hypnosis is derived from the Greek word hypnos, which means sleep, many people erroneously assume that being hypnotized is like being in a state of unconsciousness. However, in all reality, the exact opposite is actually true as while the body is deeply relaxed, the mind is as well, but it’s also in a heightened state of awareness, allowing one to be completely in control at all times, even while in a deep state of hypnosis.

And, despite the often humorous portrayal in movies and television of people in hypnotized states acting like mindless automatons, a person will never do anything against their will while hypnotized.

How does hypnosis help to stop smoking?

This isn’t to say that hypnosis can’t or shouldn’t be used in conjunction with other options for quitting smoking. In fact, one study recently found that people who added hypnosis to their plan to kick the habit were far more likely to succeed than those who simply tried on their own or used some type of nicotine replacement therapy.

Some people definitely seem to be more receptive to hypnosis than others, and therefore, one smoker may only need one or two sessions before becoming smoke-free, while another will need several before actually stopping for good.

A hypnotherapist will be able to explain the entire process, which usually entails a quiet, dimly lit room and a soothing, calm voice making positive suggestions designed to reverse one’s desire to smoke.

The hypnotherapist, whether in person or via a DVD or some other medium, should also give you the tools necessary to utilize self-hypnosis so that you are able to use hypnosis for this or any other reason, such as increasing self-esteem, losing weight, or overcoming other addictions.

Since smoking and nicotine addiction are inherently complex and involve far more than just a physical addiction to cigarettes, hypnosis is said to be rather beneficial, as unlike the variety of stop smoking products on the market today, it addresses the mental and emotional end of smoking.
