			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do You Have a Prosperity Mindset?</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t already have a prosperity mindset, it might be a hard thing to imagine. There are certain ways you can chase your dreams while keeping wealth and prosperity in mind at the same time.</p>
<p>A prosperity mindset encourages you to take action each day to improve your life on numerous levels, such as health, wealth, love or anything else you deem important.</p>
<p>Study The Actions Of Successful People</p>
<p>Perhaps this is the most important suggestion. Learn by example. Find someone successful whom you admire and do what they do. These individuals serve as proof that your dreams can come true.</p>
<ul>
<li>Find someone who has had the same kind of success that you desire.</li>
<li>Study what they&#8217;ve done right as well as their mistakes.</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s always easier when we have an example to follow. Find a way to ask successful people questions. You might be surprised to know that successful people love to inspire others to find success as well. They know that there&#8217;s plenty of success to go around. That&#8217;s the prosperity mindset in action!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s All About Being Positive</p>
<p>If you believe in yourself, you can achieve your dreams. The moment you think you can&#8217;t do something, you can&#8217;t. You know that negative feelings arise from time to time and that&#8217;s okay. However, you need to keep a positive image of the big picture in your mind at all times.</p>
<ul>
<li>Picture yourself reaching your goals and imagine how it feels.</li>
<li>Surround yourself with positive people.</li>
<li>Write prosperity affirmations.</li>
<li>Be an open person.</li>
</ul>
<p>When you open up to new opportunities, you open up to prosperity. Stay motivated and don&#8217;t be afraid of change.</p>
<p>Setting Goals And Action Plans</p>
<p>You can dream all day about where you&#8217;d like your life to go, but without a goal or an action plan nothing will happen. Take time to think about the big picture and then draw in the lines of how you&#8217;re going to get there.</p>
<ul>
<li>Break down your goals into smaller steps.</li>
<li>Set manageable and achievable goals.</li>
<li>Stick to your plan whenever possible.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t Give Up</p>
<p>You have to have the dedicated motivation and drive to tell yourself that you&#8217;ll stop at nothing before you reach success. When you talk to or study the actions of someone who is successful, they&#8217;ll likely tell you tales of their many failures. There were probably times when they felt like giving up, but they were able to push through defeat.</p>
<ul>
<li>Realize that everyone feels like giving up, but we can&#8217;t give in to these feelings.</li>
<li>Keep the image of your goal in your mind.</li>
<li>Make changes if you need to, but continue taking action toward your goal.</li>
</ul>
<p>Get A Life Coach</p>
<p>People with prosperity mindsets are all different. They have different approaches to getting what they want and they have different definitions of what prosperity is for them.</p>
<p>There are certain things they do have in common though. They all have a hungry enthusiasm for life and a positive attitude that they&#8217;ll continue to use on the journey forward.</p>
<p>If you feel that you lack any of the core beliefs and are still unsure about whether or not you can adopt a prosperity mindset, you could always look into getting advice from a life coach. They&#8217;ll be able to break down your problems and concerns and tailor a plan that will work for you personally.</p>
<p>When you implement these strategies, you&#8217;ll gain a renewed prosperity mindset that will help you on your life journey.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that I am a winner! I am sure of my success because I use effective strategies and tools to keep me motivated, pursuing my goals, until I claim my victory.</p>
<p>I set my goals and create action plans that set me up for success every time. I divide my goals into achievable tasks and then accomplish each task, one by one, through to the end.</p>
<p>If I need to invest time or money into preparing myself for my tasks, I do it happily, knowing that these preparations propel me toward the life of my dreams.</p>
<p>I make my goals a priority in my life and incorporate time in my schedule every single day to work on the things that lead me to victory. Knowing that each day puts me one step closer to reaching my goals brings me the motivation to forge ahead.</p>
<p>Failure is not an option! I know that sometimes there will be blocks in the road, but I actively seek solutions that can get me past them. I overcome my challenges and get right back on my success track.</p>
<p>If I feel even an inkling of self-doubt, I use my affirmations to wipe it out and replace it with confidence. If I fear a challenge, I replace my fear with the courage to meet the test head on.</p>
<p>I keep my passions burning with daily inspiration to stoke their fire. I use meditation to envision myself crossing the finish line and relishing my victory in all its glory.</p>
<p>Today, I plan to rekindle my passion to pursue my greatest goal, make an achievable action plan, and accomplish one task that puts me closer to success.</p>
<p>Self-Reflection Questions:</p>
<p>1. What is my greatest goal?<br />
2. Have I made my action plan of achievable steps to get me there?<br />
3. Am I facing a challenge? How can I overcome it?</p>

<h3>First the heart</h3>
<p>Where does personal development begin in a person? It begins first in the heart, then in the mind. It begins with a desire in the heart. My friend <a href="http://www.jacklynker.com">Jacklyn Ker</a> was a lupus patient for many years. Her condition had worsened and developed into many complications to a point that she needed dialysis. In her despair, she attempted suicide several times. One day when <a href="http://www.jacklynker.com">Jacklyn</a> woke up on the hospital bed, she determined in her heart that she would improve on her attitude. She decided to snap out of her despair. Instead of being a burden on her family, she began supporting herself by becoming a cab driver. Her cheerful and positive attitude eventually caused a miracle to take place in her body. Today she is a healthy person, financially independent and a Jade Ambassador of a network marketing company.</p>
<h3>Personal Development is meant to be personal</h3>
<p>I used to snuff at personal development, particularly when it was shoved down my throat. How do you like having people come to you and say, “Do this! Follow these seven steps and be a better person. Write down your goals and action plans and show it to me. From now on, you are to commit yourself to achieving these goals.” Everyday at work, your boss set departmental goals. You are asked to set your personal goals and action plans. List down the courses you plan to attend. Clock up a hundred hours worth of courses in a year. At the end of the year, neither you nor your department achieved its goals. Work review is nothing more than a fault finding session and you are threatened to work harder than you should.</p>
<div id="attachment_573" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 184px"><img class="size-full wp-image-573" title="Jacklyn Ker" src="http://personaldevelopmentandselfimprovement.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Jacklyn-Ker1.jpg" alt="Jacklyn Ker" width="174" height="202" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jacklyn Ker</p></div>
<p>The problem here is that these goals are not mine to begin with. I have absolutely no desire to achieve them. You can dream up any goals, write them down, pin it up on your bedroom walls and stare at them everyday and it is not going to change a thing. If you examine deep down inside yourself, are you serious about it? Do you really want it? Unless you want it, you are not going to achieve it because you are absolutely not going to do anything towards achieving it. Unless you desire it, you are not going to have it.</p>
<h3>Then the mind</h3>
<p>After you have desired it in your heart, the transformation will next take place in your mind – your thinking. The world’s number one bestseller is the Bible. The number two bestseller is an old book written by a man called Napoleon Hill. The book is entitled “Think and Grow Rich”. Years ago when I read the title, “Think and Grow Rich”, I thought the author meant that I should start imagining that I am rich and then I will become rich. That was why I held a certain cynical attitude towards the book even before I read it because I thought that the idea was silly. But with more understanding today, I have now realized that the word “Think” in the title of the book refers to changing your thinking. A man with a poverty mindset cannot become rich but remain poor. To become rich, you must think differently. Warren Buffet thinks differently from most of the stock market investors. He buys when others sell and sells when others buy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You cannot change until your thinking change. You do not take action because of your fear of taking risk and you like the comfort of being where you are even if you are feeling miserable. At least it is familiar evil that you are comfortable with. But when your thinking changes, you will begin moving forward and do what you usually would not have. And your future and destiny will also change.</p>
<p>So begin today by looking down in your heart where your desire resides and change a whole new mindset up in your head. Just as what Johnny Wimbrey says, “Are you willing to do today what others don’t to have tomorrow what others won’t.</p>
