of Your Life
Raul Dinzey
Overview
Living with purpose desire and goals
Visualizing a better tomorrow
Persisting through your challenges
Taking action
Life—You Get What you Ask For
I bargained with life for a pennyAnd life would pay no more
However I begged at eveningWhen I counted my scanty store.
For life is a just employerHe gives you what you ask
But once you have set the wages You must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire, Only to learn dismayed
That any wage I had asked of life,Life would have willingly paid.
Principles
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve
You can do it if you believe you can
The most successful people are those who serve the greatest number of people
Develop a pleasing personality- pleasing to yourself and others
Positive Mental Attitude
Is the medium to balance your life and relationships to people and circumstances – to attract what you desire
We are born with: the right to control the thoughts we dwell on and therefore our mental attitude
Is one of life’s riches- through this attitude anything worthwhile is achieved
Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want
The Subconscious Mind
Make your emotions work for you
Prayer
Flow
Desire backed by a definite goal with persistent action
Auto suggestion visualization and aloud daily reading of definite plan
Master mind alliance working in harmony and a spirit of cooperation
Definite Purpose
Is the starting point of all achievement
Without direction you are aimless, directionless and powerless
Know where you are going before starting- self motivated, self driven successful
Decide:
– What do you want
– Find out how to get it
– Then take daily action to achieving your goal
Pleasant Personality
Is the aggregate of all the agreeable gratifying and likable qualities of any one individual
Believe in yourself – First and foremost!
What you believe yourself to be – you are
The attitudes you transmit to others will tell more about you than words or how you look
Enthusiasm comes from within- you can develop it by your thoughts feelings and emotions
Faith
Is a state of mind we can develop by conditioning our mind to receive infinite intelligence to a definite purpose
The offspring of success or failure come from our thoughts
When faith added to thought the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent and transmit it to infinite intelligence
Faith is the method through which we can harness the cosmic force of infinite intelligence
Going the Extra Mile
Give more than what you receive, sooner or later you will be repaid with interest
Every seed of useful service you sow- will multiply and come back to you in overwhelming abundance
Put your mind to work assess your ability and energy
Who could use your help? How can you help?
Ingenuity and strong desire to be of genuine service
Helping others solve their problems will help you solve your own
Personal Initiative: Self Drive
Bears the same relationship as a self-starter to an automobile
Is the power that assures completion of what you start
Inner power that starts all action
Is the dynamo that spurs the faculty of your imagination into action and inspires you to finish what you start
Enthusiasm
Is a state of mind
is the most contagious of all emotions
Is a combination of mental and physical energy
Thrives best where sound physical health abounds
Sound health begins with the development and maintenance of health consciousness
To be enthusiastic – act enthusiastically!
Self- Discipline
Is to take possession of our own mind
The power or thought is the one thing we can control
By directing your dominant thoughts we ordain our destiny
Take charge of your life - you are what you think
Direct your thoughts – control your emotions - and ordain your destiny!
Accurate Thinking
Involves two fundamentals– Think clearly by separating the facts into two
classes:The important and the unimportant
Accurate thinkers permit no one to do their thinking for them
Gather information and listen to the opinions of others, but reserve for yourself the privilege of making decisions
Truth will be truth regardless of a closed mind, ignorance or the refusal to believe
Focused Attention
Is the act of coordinating all the faculties of the mind and directing their combined power to a given end
Learn to fix your attention on a given subject, at will for whatever length of time you choose
You will have learned the secret to power and plenty- concentration
Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want!
Mastermind Alliance Principle
Consists of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment of a common definite objective
Seek to work together in a state of coordinated harmony
No person can become a permanent success without taking others along with him
Teamwork
Is the willing cooperation and coordination of effort to achieve a common goal.
Is sharing part of what you have- the good part with others
Differs from the Mastermind because it is based on coordination of effort without embracing the principle of definiteness of purpose or the principle of harmony
Harmonious cooperation is a priceless asset which you can acquire in proportion to your giving
Difficulties and Challenges
Every adversity you meet carries with it a seed of equivalent or greater benefit
Close the door of your mind to all previous failures and circumstances
Operate in a positive mental attitude
Every problem has a solution – you have to find it
Problems are only temporary set backs and stepping stones to success
Creative Vision
Is a quality of mind belonging only to people who follow the habit of going the extra mile
Is closely related to the state of mind known as faith and is significant- those who have demonstrated the greatest amount of creative vision are people with a capacity for faith
The imagination is the workshop of the soul wherein are shaped all plans for individual achievement
Auto Suggestion
Go To a quiet place- Repeat aloud written statement
Repeat this program morning and night until you meet your goal
Place a written copy in plain sight until memorized
Sound Health
Sound physical health is dependant upon a positive mental attitude
Establish a sound well balanced health habits in work, play, rest, nourishment and study
What your mind focuses upon – your mind brings into existence
Budgeting time and Money
Successful people budget their time, income and expenditures, living within their means
Failures squander time and income with contemptuous disregard for their value
Tell me how you use your spare time and money and I will tell you where and what you will be doing ten years from now
Force of Habit
You are where you are and what you are because of your established habits and thoughts and actions
You have the power to break bad habits and to create good ones in their place – at will
We have the power of choice through which we may establish our own thoughts and behavior patterns
Undo Destructive Thinking
What the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve- Overcome worry and Fear
Above all: – Attain happiness– Find peace of mind and – Take care of your basic material needs
Protect yourself against negative influences
You have absolute control over the thoughts you dwell on
