Why 98 percent of us fail ?


Did you know that most people who read success books and go to success seminars still fail to achieve the success they want?
It's true. The great Napoleon Hill once said that only 2% of those who learned his now legendary success principles actually used them to become successful.
Only 2%.

Here's why (and, yes, there is a solution):

Even when you know what to do, and even if you really want success, there are many ways you may unconsciously sabotage yourself.

You may quit if you have a setback. You may procrastinate. You may unconsciously make bad decisions, or attract people who take you off-track, instead of attracting those who can help you achieve what you want.

You may believe things about success, about yourself, about other people, about money, or about something else . . .

. . . that causes you to get in your own way.

As long as your behavior is generated by an unconscious part of your mind, you may have trouble taking the successful actions you need to take . . .

  . . . even if you know what they are, and want to take them.

And, sadly, as I said, 98% of people do this.

What can you do about this? What is the most potent, most effective way to get rid of these unconscious, self-sabotaging demons?

How important are our relationships..?

Here is something that I find holds most people back from achieving
the riches, the lifestyle they deserve, but it is one of the most difficult things
to change. It concerns relationships.

As you expand and grow, so will your relationships.  When you
choose to become great, people around you will line up in force to
convince you to stay where you are and keep you stuck. Not because
they are bad. They're not. It's because they value security and
dislike uncertainty. They have no idea how to show you love and support towards 
the direction that you are going.

If your objective is to vibrate at a higher level and attract higher
and higher results in your life, you will find it difficult, if not
impossible to do so, if everything around you is reinforcing the
contrary.

If you look at the people you are close to and they are not going
in the same direction, or at least not supporting you in the
direction you are going, then they are most likely not thinking
the things you are thinking or doing the things you are doing. They
will hold you back, plain and simple.  If you want to grow you
must surround yourself with like minded people.

Are you spending time with people who support you and are helping
you move toward your intentions? Or, are you investing your time and
energy with people who are holding you back?

This was a hard lesson for me to learn.  At one point in my life I
tried to "ration lies" in my mind that I could still surround
myself with the same people that I had outgrown. I tried to make it
work, but in my heart I knew they were bringing me down to a level
where I was no longer comfortable.

I decided I no longer wanted to spend high quality time with people
I didn't want to be around. It wasn't easy, but I have never
regretted it. I started spending time with people who aspired to
values, traits and accomplishments similar to mine. It wasn't long
before I had new friends who supported who I was becoming and where
I was going. It is without a doubt one of the most empowering
things I have done.

Just accept that when you choose to pursue your greatness that your
peer group doesn't possess, they will try to stop you or slow you
down. Surround yourself with people who share the vibrations that
you are giving to the universe and you will find that you will
achieve your dreams and desires much faster and much easier.

Today will bring you a new awareness,

The Power to Choose

Choice implies consciousness - a high degree of consciousness. Without it, you have no choice. Choice begins the moment you disidentify from the mind and its conditioned patterns, the moment you become present.
Until you reach that point, you are unconscious, spiritually speaking. This means that you are compelled to think, feel, and act in certain ways according to the conditioning of your mind.

Nobody chooses dysfunction, conflict, pain. Nobody chooses insanity. They happen because there is not enough presence in you to dissolve the past, not enough light to dispel the darkness. You  are not fully here. You have not quite woken up yet. In the meantime, the conditioned mind is running your life.
Similarly, if you are one of the many people who have an issue with their parents, if you still harbor resentment about something they did or did not do, then you still believe that they had a choice- that they could have acted differently. It always looks as if people had a choice, but that is an illusion. As Long as your mind with its conditioned patterns runs your life, as long as you are your mind, what choice do you have? None. You are not even there. The mind-identified state is severely dysfunctional. It is a form of insanity.

Almost everyone is suffering from this illness in varying degrees. The moment you realize this, there can be no more resentment. How can you resent someones illness? The only appropriate response is compassion.
If you are run by your mind, although you have no choice you will still suffer the consequences of your unconsciousness, and you will create further suffering. You will bear the burden of fear, conflict, problems, and pain. The suffering thus created will eventually force you out of your unconscious state.
You cannot truly forgive yourself or others as long as you derive your sense of self from the past. Only through accessing the power of the Now, which is your own power, can there be true forgiveness. This renders the past powerless, and you realize deeply that nothing you ever did or that was ever done to you could touch even in the slightest the radiant essence of who you are.

When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. You do not need it anymore. Presence is the key. The Now is the key.

Since resistance is inseparable from the mind, relinquishment of resistence - surrender- is the end of the mind as your master, the imposter pretending to be "you,"the false god. All judgment and all negativity dissolve.

The realm of being, which had been obscured by the mind, then opens up.

Suddenly, a great stillness arises within you, an unfathomable sense of peace.
And within that peace, there is great joy.
And within that joy, there is love.
And at the innermost core, there is the sacred, the immeasurable, that which cannot be named.
