Enjoy Your Life For A Change
Change Your Point of View
“Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars.”- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts
If you’ve placed second in the 100m dash at the Olympics, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to compete in the next major track and field event?
In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist’s route and live a challenging, fulfilling life.
So why nurture an optimist’s point of view? And why now?
Well, optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma.
On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it hits younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife’s disorder but also a teen-ager’s disorder’ as well.
Here’s how optimists are in action and researches that back up why it really pays to be an optimist:
Optimists expect the best
The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events, which will last a long time and undermine everything they do, are their own fault.
Optimists are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world. What differs is the way they explain their misfortune—it’s the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this one case.
Optimists focus on and plan for the ‘problem’ at hand. They use ‘positive reinterpretation.’ In other words, they most likely reinterpret a negative experience in a way that helps them learn and grow. Such people are unfazed by bad situations, they perceive it is a challenge and work harder.
They won’t say “things will never get better,” “If I failed once, it will happen again” and “If I experience misfortune in one part of my life, then it will happen in my whole life.”
Positive expectancies of optimists also predict better reactions during transitions to new environments, sudden tragedies and unlikely turn of events. If they fall, they will stand up. They see opportunities instead of obstacles.
People respond positively to optimists
Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their happiness. They find no need to control or manipulate people. They usually draw people towards them. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence those they are with.
Optimism seems a socially desirable trait in all communities. Those who share optimism are generally accepted while those who spread gloom, panic and hysteria are treated unfavorably.
In life, these people often win elections; get voted most congenial and sought for advice.
When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher!
Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than do people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.
They persevere. They just don’t give up easily, they are also known for their patience. Inching their way a step closer to that goal or elusive dream.
Optimists are healthier and live longer
Medical research has justified that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body’s ability to fight disease.
Optimists’ health is unusually good. They age well, much freer than most people from the usual physical ills of middle age. And they get to outlive those prone to negative thoughts.
So why not be an optimist today? And think positively towards a more fulfilled life.
Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but don’t just stay there. Carry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see life in the bright side?

I am an INTJ
So… I get a stumble message from a friend doing a traffic experiment. His theory is that you will enjoy blogs by people who share your personality type.
As you can see from the title, it’s based on Jung’s Typology Test. It’s interestingly accurate. I enjoyed reading the descriptions for personality type, quite revealing to say the least.
You can check out the experiment here. Give it a go! I actually did enjoy the blogs in my personality type. I may even link back to a couple of them.
I’m a Rational Mastermind (INTJ), and I was surprised at how many people of note share this personality type. Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner”, Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton all share the same personality type. Don’t ask me why… but knowing this kind of stuff is gratifying to me, lol.

How To Use Affirmation Properly
“I am, therefore I exist,” is a phrase affirming one’s existence as a being. It may be a simple phrase, but it says everything about the being saying them. It indicates a confidence not commonly found among other beings.
But why do people need affirmation? Why do beings need to be affirmed? Is existence relative to one’s affirmation?
Affirmation is a very powerful technique to empower one’s subconscious. Once the subconscious is disciplined to believe one’s affirmation, the latter is converted into a positive action for the conscious mind. Through affirmation, beings are empowered to do, to work, and to strive for more things. Affirmation allows people to believe in themselves and to put their thoughts into action.
Affirmation is a combination of verbal and visual techniques of a preferred state of mind of a person. Strong affirmations can be very powerful, and can be used by almost anyone to achieve his goals and fulfill his desires. However, the power of an affirmation depends on how strong or weak an affirmation is.
Affirmation is merely an assertion made by a person, about something or about a state of being. A person can affirm those that he chooses to attain, like “I now have a good life.” Being healthy in mind, body, and spirit can also be made possible through affirmation.
A strong affirmation should be stated in the present tense to be more effective. An affirmation of “I am now a happy being” is more effective than an affirmation saying, “I am going to become a happy being.” Affirmation should always be in positive terms because it is supposed to work for you and not against you. Instead of saying, “I am not sad,” why not make an affirmation saying, “I am happy.”
An affirmation should be made up of simple but concise words, and it should be short to be more effective. A very long affirmation can work the other way around, instead of creating a positive mindset for a person. A short affirmation can be easily spoken and repeated by a person. It can serve as a mantra that can be repeated over and over again.
To be effective, an affirmation must be repeated. Repetition works and influences the subconscious, which in turn motivates the person into acting out his affirmation. A person who creates the affirmation should be deeply involved with the words he will be using, so he will be able to actualize his affirmation. Writing words that one believes in can be very powerful, and this can be put to good use when creating an affirmation.
However, creating an affirmation alone and repeating them a million times would not make the affirmation a state of mind. The important thing is to live one’s affirmation and to be open-minded enough to do the things that would help the affirmation become a reality. Feeling the affirmation and applying it in one’s life will help in making the affirmation a reality.
While affirmation is generally used to make an individual better, it can also be used to boost or confirm another person’s value. By affirming another person‘s existence, you are helping him improve his self-worth.
Affirmation is a very simple thing that can make a very big difference in a person‘s life. It can be a great motivator and can make things happen.

The Secret Law of Attraction quotes
Law of attraction - most professional mind movie yet
http://www.hotalphafemale.blogspot.com
READ MY STORY SO FAR! CLICK MORE
The above address is my new internet business inspired by my mind movie. Its related on dating(go figure!)
A lot of you have asked me how this mind movie has changed my life.So I thought that I might add a couple of notes on how this has.
Im not going to tell you than within days of making my mind movie that I manifested everything magically and all my dreams have come true.
I will tell you what my journey has been so far.
The first thing that this mind movie did for me was to give me a chance to sit down and really think about what I wanted out of life. To sit down and actually write down my goals, dreams and aspirations.
This is something that I had always thought about getting around to .. but never actually had.
So here are a couple of things that I manifested so far.
When I first saw the mind movie package, I really wanted it badly .. but I didn’t have a credit card at the time to get it and blah blah.
Neways so I kept raving on about how cool it was and then for my birthday which was like 2 weeks after I came across mind movies I found that my brother had bought it for me as a present.
I was soooo excited!!! I spent the next 4 days creating my mind movie. I was seriously obsessed with getting it done and completed and wanted to make it perfect.
Neways after those 4 days and 255 slides later my mind movie was completed. In that four days I think I probably would have watched my mind movie at least 300 times while I was editing it.
Even just after that time, I already had more belief that I could achieve a lot of the goals that I had put in there.
Now a lot of people have asked me if I had attracted the right partner into my life. Well the answer is no not yet, but I have no doubt in my mind that he will be amazing. This movie helped me clarify what I really want in a relationship and helped me believe that I could get it. It allows me to relax being single and not so desperately look for someone .. because I know that when the time is right, ill attract someone amazing into my life.
Apart from that many other things have happened. I said in one of the slides that I wanted to build a solid international business. I had no idea what that would be. Two weeks after making the mind movie I have come across internet marketing and am currently building a business around that.
When I thought about it later I realized that the internet really is an international marketplace .. and I was like.. man this stuff is KOOL!!
That business has opened my eyes to so many things. Recently I just finished a seminar where I was able to speak in front of 200 people and inspire them to move forward in their businesses. Not only that I was elected as leader of the whole crew and I was able to lead and inspire a whole group of wonderful people.
I found myself working in a team that were my deepest inspiration, greatest support and dearest friends. Just like I said in the mind movie.
Not only that, but I seem to be attracting like minded people on a massive scale and really do find myself with people who want to add value, to help me and to mentor me.
In terms of money. When I made this video I was earning pretty much nothing. lol. Now I have multiple streams of income, some from a new job, some from investments I have gotten into and some from my internet business. I have no doubt that this will be expanding rapidly in the very near future.
Lately I have heard that Oprah is taking in candidates who have made mind movies and who have manifested the most in their life from it. I don’t know but that whole idea sounds pretty awesome and im going to apply for the competition. I also found out that a new friend of mine knows Ryan the mind movie creator very well so maybe I will even get to chat to him.
I could go on and on about the things that I have manifested in my life. Now that’s not to say at times I that I didn’t doubt that this stuffed worked. In fact there was a period where I wasn’t watching my mind movie at all. I do my best these days to watch it as often as I can.
Its so awesome though because even just when I hear the song “its a wonderful life” on the radio or whatever, I get flashed of my mind movie in my head. Its anchored in so much.
If any of you guys want some advice .. it would be this.
1)Write down your goals and know what they are
2)TAKE ACTION on inspired thought
3)Be Fearless when you get scared and know that there is nothing to fear but fear itself
4)Believe that no matter now big or small your dreams are, they are YOURS and you should go after them
Luv ya guys .. here is the link to mind movies
