The Secret is You, It has always been You, You are God manifested in human form…

Having studied human potential for nearly 35 years, and after reading, researching, interviewing, and participating in dozens of workshops and seminars, exploring different religions, and opening my mind, heart, and soul to the universe, I have come to realize that EVERYTHING is ENERGY. We are energy. (Read some of my latest posts on my personal blog at http://www.sheaellison.com to grasp the bigger picture)

Everything we need to create all that we will ever want and need – is already here… We just need to become aware of it. Think about it… everything we have in the world right now, including your computer or mobile electronic device upon which you are reading this, was already here… everything to make every physical manifestation in existence – natural or man-made – has always been here. It’s not like we had to travel to so far off distant galaxy to make something that we now have. It was all right here… waiting to be tapped by human imagination, creativity, action, implementation, and integration.

It was Earl Nightingale who first spoke about ‘The Strangest Secret’ before he even met Lloyd Conant and started Nightingale-Conant Corporation back in the 60′s. Rhonda Byrne and her company Prime Time Productions have creatively packaged the idea and are marketing themselves in a way that is very appealing to many of us through Hollywood-style cinematography. The bottom line, is that ‘The Secret’ is inside of you – it always has been. You simply need to awaken the power of God within you.

So here’s the latest compilation of all of the visualization tools gifted by Prime Time Productions in Google’s newest HD video format designed to play on any platform and any device. Enjoy!

Brendon Burchard has GOT IT! AWESOME video you HAVE to watch…

and really listen to. I just watched an AWESOME video by Brendon Burchard about what it takes to succeed – and he is so ON TARGET it’s friggin incredible. This guy has GOT IT. He’s excited and passionate about what he does. I’m going to find a way to meet him and learn everything I can from him. I’ve got similar passions and want to share it with the world – just as he is doing. YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS VIDEO!

Stages of Success and Winning Streaks by Brendon Burchard

1. Hunger – You have to be hungry! You have to be where Tony Robbins calls it a “Must”. If you can’t, then you Must; because if you Must, then you can
2. Ownership – You have to take ownership of your life; if it is to be, it is up to me. You have to take 100% responsibility for EVERYTHING that happens in your life
3. Learning – There are a lot of things you are going to need to learn to get to where you want to be. So get out there and start learning. Find a coach or a mentor
4. Focus – You’ve got to use your ‘will’ to control the focus of your mind. What do you really want? How committed are you to your goals? What is your purpose?
5. Initiative – What are you PASSIONATE about? What do you LOVE to do? In order to overcome the obstacles, roadblocks, and considerations that will come up, you will need determination and persistence to overcome or breakthrough them
6. Collaboration – Don’t think you have to do this all on your own. There are a lot of people out there who have already done what you want to do and would love to help you get to where you want to go. Ask them… and keep asking until they say Yes!
7. Accessibility – On your journey, be accessible to your clients or customers or whomever it is you are serving. Remember – they are why you are doing what you do. So be responsive to them
8. Mastery – Mastery is the ultimate goal of anything of value in life. When you become a master at what you do, it is now your turn to help others achieve mastery in their lives. Life is a Win-Win-Win process
9. Coaching – Again, you don’t have to do it all alone. Find someone who has already done what you want to do and ask them for their help. Even the pros have coaches, sometimes several coaches. Better yet, find a mentor. Mentoring is one of the most powerful strategies to success and when done right, it is the biggest WIN-WIN relationship for both people. Both participants need to contribute to the process
10. Gratitude – Gratitude is the second highest energies in the universe; Love is the highest. When you express love and gratitude toward everyone in your life – Magical things will happen. The Law of Attraction is always working; it never stops. Love and Gratitude will attract more loving and grateful people an situations into your life.

Success Principle #5: Believe in Yourself

“You didn’t show up here by accident. You are here by design. You were deliberately and specifically gifted with a unique set of abilities. You were intentionally positioned here on this earth for a specific reason and purpose by the Master Craftsman.” – T. Shea Ellison

With all you have coming into this world, you have to believe you were given everything you need to create the life of your dreams. You have to believe you are capable of manifesting your every desire. You have to believe you have the ‘right stuff’, that you have every faculty you need to make anything and everything you could ever want. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Whether you call it self-confidence, self-esteem, or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes – the abilities, the inner-resources, talents, gifts, the will, to create the outcomes you most desire in the depths of your heart.

Understand that ‘Belief’, believing in yourself is a choice – an attitude.

It is a habit you develop over time – a success habit. Although it helps if you had positive and supporting parents or guardians, the fact is, that most of us had run-of-the-mill parents who were doing the best they could with the resources and awareness they had. Therefore, they inadvertently passed on to us most of the limiting beliefs and negative conditioning they grew up with.

But remember, ‘the past does not equal the future’. What’s past is past and neither you nor anyone else can change what has already happened. There is no payoff in blaming them for your current level of self-confidence. It is now your responsibility to take charge of your own self-concept, self-esteem and your beliefs. You must choose to believe that you can do ANYTHING you decide to do – because you can!

In fact, it has been demonstrated scientifically that with enough positive self-talk, (yes, everyone talks to themselves; if you say you don’t, then you are talking to yourself. Talking to yourself is simply thinking to yourself, and every single person who has ever existed has done it – every single day) and positive visualization combined with the proper training, coaching or mentoring, and practice, anyone can learn to do virtually ANYTHING.

The choice of what to believe is up to you – don’t waste your life believing you can’t…

Also, although education is the best investment you will ever make… don’t assume you need a college degree… 20% of all millionaires in the U.S. never set foot in college, and about 10 percent of Americans listed as billionaires in 2003 never graduated from college; two never even finished high school! So although education and a commitment to lifelong learning are essential to success, a formal degree is not a requirement. Checkout the biographies of some of Fortune magazine’s ‘Richest People in America’ and you’ll discover that some billionaires only graduated from “The School of Hard Knocks”.

Listen, if having others believe in you and your dreams was a requirement for success, most of us would never accomplish much. You need to base your decision on what YOU want to do – on your goals and desires – not the goals, desires, opinions, or judgments of your parents, teachers, friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, coworkers – or anyone else for that matter. Quit listening to what other people think about you and follow your heart!

What others think about you is none of your business. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does. That’s what makes you a Winner!
