			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn&#8217;t fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn&#8217;t dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich –in all senses of the meaning-, successful, leading a healthier lifestyle,  or happyier with our relationships?</p>
<p>Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams. And our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic.</p>
<p>This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.</p>
<p>But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.</p>
<p>The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can&#8217;t do this. It&#8217;s too hard. It&#8217;s too impossible. No one can do this.</p>
<p>However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.</p>
<p>Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble, bee no one has told it so. So fly it does.</p>
<p>On the other hand, some people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them. The result? Broken dreams, and tattered aspirations.</p>
<p>If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.</p>
<p>Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life. Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’. Under another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ And under one more, list the things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’</p>
<p>Now look at all the headers strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under things ‘you know you can do’. Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’</p>
<p>As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ to the list of things ‘you might be able to do.’</p>
<p>As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.</p>
<p>You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic.</p>
<p>Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned. </p>
<p>On the other hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be orbiting in space, or even fly , they would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.</p>
<p>Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.</p>
<p>Ask any gym rat or Marathon runner, and he or she will tell you that there can be no gains unless you are put out of your comfort zone. Remember the saying, “No pain, no gain”? That is as true as it can be.</p>
<p>So dream on, friend! Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible.</p>
<p>Continue to live with passion and see your dreams as a reality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever wander what your true meaning and purpose in life are? What are you meant to do and where are you taking your life? When you think about these things and do your best to work through issues and become more successful in the areas of your life that mean the most to you, no matter what, you will feel better and perform better at anything that you choose.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.discovering-the-law-of-attraction.com/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Discovering The Law of Attraction" src="http://www.discovering-the-law-of-attraction.com/images/2.jpg" alt="" width="304" height="407" /></a></p>
<p>The golden thread in life is going to be anything that holds you together. Once you have your path in life you will want to work hard at keeping it. Figure out what is important and what makes you feel good. Once you do this you are going to be on the right path to a happier and more empowering life. With this I mind, you need to find something that describes you and what you truly want from life.</p>
<p>The golden thread in your life should be a great feeling for you so that you are able to show it to others. It is important to have things that make you want to do better and give you the confidence that you need. This is all going to be due to the Law of Attraction and the importance that it should have on your life.</p>
<p>Do not worry if you are not on the right path at first. You have lots of time to figure it out. With all the circumstances and things that come up in life we have to be strong and ready to take on challenges that are going to happen at any given moment. Working towards a better and brighter future is something that is intended for anyone that wants to use the law of attraction as his or her main resource in life.</p>
<p>You may end up going down different paths before you find the right one. The golden thread out there is going to be something that shows your true desires and feelings. It is the one thing that you can always fall back on when you are having a bad day or if something is not going the way that you expect it to. With the golden thread keeping you together you will have more opportunities and dreams opening up for you all the time.</p>
<p>The Law of Attraction is a way of thinking and it is one form of creating your own destiny. Once you have your own destiny picked out and you know what you want in your future you can then figure out what is your golden thread in life this is all part of the learning experience in life. With every event and day that passes you are going to have lessons that will keep you on the right track and give you the golden thread that you are looking for the most.</p>
<p>Anyone can have a golden thread. Young children and older adults can have the one thing in life that they want to achieve more than anything. In fact it is better to have a plan so that you can be more successful with everything that you do.</p>
<p>The golden thread of life is the main focus that you will have. It is all going to be something that you live for. It can be anything from family and love to goals and dreams that you want to achieve before you are done. When you have these goals in your head you will want to make them a reality and it can happen with the law of attraction set into place and knowing that your way of thinking is going to be your best guide.</p>

<p>On asking what success means to you, all of you will give a wide range of different answers to the question.</p>
<p>This  is because success means something different to each and all of us, but  on average they come into a few select categories; love, money,  happiness and health.</p>
<p>Some success ideas involve individual success, while others involves a group, a country or the world as a whole.</p>
<p>If we begin by looking at the dictionary definition of success we see that it defines success as:</p>
<p>1. The achievement of something desired, planned or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work.<br />
2. The gaining of fame or prosperity: an artist spoiled by success.<br />
3. The extent of such gain.<br />
4. One that is successful: The plan was a success.<br />
5. Obsolete: A result or an outcome</p>
<p>Source from the American  Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright  ©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Updated in 2009. Published by  Houghton Mifflin Company All rights reserved.</p>
<p>So taking from this  as the point to start from we can see that success is gained by  achieving a desired outcome, and to do this we must initially come up  with a clearly defined roadmap and then take the steps required to reach  the &#8216;destination&#8217; set.</p>
<p>So no matter what main category your ideal  of success may lie in, whether it is love, wealth, health or happiness,  the recipe to achieving your goal depends on how well you plan and  believe in that plan and yourself.</p>
<p>If we take for example someone  who is about to take a test that they want to pass, either physical like  a driving test or knowledgeable like an exam you need to plan how you  are going to achieve the best results and become a success.</p>
<p>For  either of these things sitting down and drawing up a plan of steps,  aspects to study and areas that need practice or more information, is  imperative. When you are happy with the schedule which includes a time  line to fit around other aspects of your life, hang it up where you can  see it constantly.</p>
<p>This will allow you consciously and  sub-consciously be motivated at all times. Many people through no fault  of their own are not motivated enough to succeed and until they take  charge of themselves and find a driving source such as a desire they  will not succeed.</p>
<p>It is all too easy to think of failure as an  option or a definite outcome. This sends a message to the brain &#8220;why  bother then? You are only going to fail!&#8221; this in turn will then lead to  you failing anyway as you have doused the flames of desire before they  even happen.</p>
<p>This is down to low self esteem brought on by a  difficult and troubled past which has leaked into your present and will  affect your future.</p>
<p>Finding the fire and helping it to burn will  improve self worth, faith in your desire and allow you to actually  succeed. Once you succeed at one thing you will find that you are able  to stack up success more easily next time and the time after that.</p>
<p>Having  just that one visual aide works wonders&#8230;you should try it sometimes,  and you might too realize the power it will equip you with on your way  to your own success.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.find-your-pupose-now.com"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1032" title="sub" src="http://nicolasbaron.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sub-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The key to making your subconscious mind work for you is in your attitude. Having a positive self-esteem and confidence in yourself can go a long way towards achieving the goals that you have set out for your mind. Whilst many people believe that confidence and esteem comes with your personality, which is determined at birth,<br />
it is not true&#8230;                       </p>
<p>It is never too late to start cultivating and improving your inner image and resources, primarily that of your subconscious mind.</p>
<p>The subconscious mind is an amazing resource that is able to store<br />
memories that have been long forgotten. It has a strong effect on<br />
the conscious mind, although it is not able to think or reason,<br />
taking direction from the conscious mind instead. However, it is<br />
possible to reach the subconscious mind and make it work for you.<br />
Many methods are available for doing so, such as through hypnosis,<br />
subliminal programming and positive affirmations.</p>
<p>The most common and easy to master technique of reaching the<br />
subconscious is through positive affirmations. Whether for losing<br />
weight or increasing self confidence, positive affirmations can be<br />
applied to any aspect of your life. By inculcating a positive self<br />
esteem and confidence in your subconscious, you will be able to<br />
affect the conscious mind as well.</p>
<p>The subconscious mind is thus, more powerful and effective than<br />
most people give it credit for. For example, positive affirmation<br />
simply activates the subconscious mind to allow it to function at<br />
its peak, handling the everyday matters. It is able to do so by<br />
imprinting messages into your subconscious through constant<br />
repetition.</p>
<p>By accessing your subconscious mind, you are strengthening the<br />
linkage between the conscious and the subconscious, allowing you to<br />
achieve many things. These include getting rid of negative<br />
thoughts, unhealthy habits, and boosting your self confidence and<br />
other abilities.</p>
<p>Unlocking the power of your subconscious mind is a simple process,<br />
requiring only your willingness and effort. Below are 3 simple<br />
steps you can take to start on making your subconscious mind work<br />
for you:</p>
<p>1. What Drives You?</p>
<p>Identify the reason that motivates you to work hard and excel in<br />
life. Without knowing what makes you tick, you will be unable to<br />
recover the same level of drive when faced with setbacks or<br />
discouraged. Being able to unlock your subconscious mind depends on<br />
knowing what you want, before you can achieve it.</p>
<p>2. Create a Strategy!</p>
<p>When you are able to identify what drives you, you will be better<br />
equipped to draw out your possible options and make the relevant<br />
decisions that will help you achieve your goals. Without a<br />
strategy, you will be unable to chart a clear path and risk going<br />
off track.</p>
<p>3. Perseverance and Passion</p>
<p>Once you have decided on a course of action, immerse yourself in<br />
it. With passion and a strong focus, you will be able to realize<br />
your goals, fueled by perseverance.</p>
<p>With these 3 steps, you will be well on your way towards unlocking<br />
the power of the subconscious mind and making it work for you.</p>
<p>As always, Live with Passion and Attract Your Dreams!</p>

<p><a href="http://nicolasbaron.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/say-no-to-no2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1009" title="say-no-to-no" src="http://nicolasbaron.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/say-no-to-no2-223x300.jpg" alt="" width="223" height="300" /></a>Quite often in the past, I used to have a challenge to stay positive around people that are conditioned to be so negative all of the time. This can be quite challenging to maintaining your own positive vibes, dreams and aspirations.</p>
<p>Thankfully, after a few years of practice, I managed to create a pychological armor, so to speak, whilst still in rapport (though not negative rapport), and even end up turning them positive at times&#8230;</p>
<p>So I’d like to give you two tips that I have combined and work, using the Law of Attraction, that I use to remain positive, even when there are negative people around me…</p>
<p><strong>Tip #1 – Focus on the Positive Aspects</strong><br />
The Law of Attraction has one job and that job is to match like with like. Here’s the truth of the matter… you would not be able to have access to that negative person unless you’re practicing something that is holding you in a place that you dislike.</p>
<p>What I mean by this is that you’ve been practicing thinking about their negative aspects and parts of their personality that you dislike. Questions like “Why can’t they be more positive?” and “They’re always so negative around me, what can I do?” is re-affirming the vibration of something you dislike. Remember, the Law of Attraction doesn’t care what you want, its job is only to match like with like. The more you complain, the more you worry and the more attention you give to the aspects of their personality that you dislike then the more you will see it.</p>
<p>The way to move around this is to begin focusing on the Positive Aspects of that person. What are their personality traits that you DO like? Are they funny? Do they have a soft side to them? Maybe they are really clever and you love that side to them? Whatever it is – begin focusing on those aspects of their personality and NOT the negativity that they have once shared with you.</p>
<p>Grab a sheet of paper right now and make a list of everything you like about them. The more you practice focusing on their positive aspects then the less you will see of their negative aspects. The Law of Attraction will not allow you to be in the same room together if you’ve practiced holding your attention on the positive aspects of that person and they are in a negative vibration. The pair of you would be magnetically repelled from one another because you are no longer in vibrational harmony with each another.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #2 – Find a Thought That Feels Better</strong><br />
When someone with a negative attitude shoots you down, more often than not the first thing to happen is for you to respond with some form of defense. The next thing that will happen is that you will begin mental chattering about the situation. “He shouldn’t have said that to ME!” … “How dare she?” … “I wish they’d just…”. It is in this moment when your vibration is being negatively affected.</p>
<p>No one can actually affect your vibration except for you. In this very moment when you’re involved in mental chatter your allowing the negative comments to affect you and thus you begin talking about it. Just a little bit of this and you will begin to feel pretty miserable. The next time this situation arises and you begin the mental chatter, stop where you are and begin talking to yourself out of it.</p>
<p>To talk yourself out of the negativity isn’t a hard thing to do, but it just requires a little bit of time and effort. The way to do it is to find a thought that feels better than the one you currently have in your mind.</p>
<p>Begin by asking yourself what your current focal point is. What was the last thought you had? How do you feel right now?</p>
<p>Let’s use an example…</p>
<p>“I feel miserable because he said I was wasting my time”</p>
<p>Now from this starting point you must find a thought that feels just a little bit better. We’re not looking for a thought like “Everything is wonderful and I love life”, you’re looking for a thought that is real and accessible to your current situation. Maybe it would be…</p>
<p>“I don’t think I’m wasting my time and that is what counts”</p>
<p>Carry on with this game. From your new starting point of “I don’t think I’m wasting my time” try and find a thought that feels a little bit better.</p>
<p>“But he always says things like this to me!”</p>
<p>The above is a thought that may come to you. But it doesn’t actually feel better than where we just were. So in the event that this happens (and it will) you must try again and poke around in your mind for something that feels better. Before long you’ll have a mental dialog similar to…</p>
<p>“I feel miserable because he said I was wasting my time” STARTING POINT<br />
“I don’t think I’m wasting my time and that is what counts” BETTER<br />
“But he always says things like this to me!” WORSE<br />
“I actually enjoy spending my time on self-development” BETTER<br />
“It makes me happy and I feel like I actually know this stuff is true” BETTER<br />
“He can have his opinion and I can have mine” BETTER<br />
“I’m okay with his comment, that’s just a reflection of where he is at” BETTER</p>
<p>Your internal dialog may be much longer than this in reality, but this is just an example of how you can very quickly and easily move out of a negative moment and into a positive one.</p>
<p>So there you have it, two ways to remain positive! Remember the key is to take action or nothing will change for you. Give yourself some quality time and begin to move away from those negative vibrations that you’ve been allowing to keep you down.</p>
<p>Wishing you the best you deserve!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On asking what success means to you, all of you will give a wide range of different answers to the question.</p>
<p>This is because success means something different to each and all of us, but on average they come into a few select categories; love, money, happiness and health.</p>
<p>Some success ideas involve individual success, while others involves a group, a country or the world as a whole. If we begin by looking at the dictionary definition of success we see that it defines success as:</p>
<p>1. The achievement of something desired, planned or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work.</p>
<p>2. The gaining of fame or prosperity: an artist spoiled by success.</p>
<p>3. The extent of such gain.</p>
<p>4. One that is successful: The plan was a success.</p>
<p>5. Obsolete: A result or an outcome</p>
<p>Source from the American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright ©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Updated in 2009. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company All rights reserved.</p>
<p>So taking from this as the point to start from we can see that success is gained by achieving a desired outcome, and to do this we must initially come up with a clearly defined roadmap and then take the steps required to reach the &#8216;destination&#8217; set. So no matter what main category your ideal of success may lie in, whether it is love, wealth, health or happiness, the recipe to achieving your goal depends on how well you plan and believe in that plan and yourself.</p>
<p>If we take for example someone who is about to take a test that they want to pass, either physical like a driving test or knowledgeable like an exam you need to plan how you are going to achieve the best results and become a success. For either of these things sitting down and drawing up a plan of steps, aspects to study and areas that need practice or more information, is imperative.</p>
<p>When you are happy with the schedule which includes a timeline to fit around other aspects of your life, hang it up where you can see it constantly. This will allow you consciously and sub-consciously be motivated at all times. Many people through no fault of their own are not motivated enough to succeed and until they take charge of themselves and find a driving source such as a desire they will not succeed. It is all too easy to think of failure as an option or a definite outcome.</p>
<p>This sends a message to the brain &#8220;why bother then? You are only going to fail!&#8221; this in turn will then lead to you failing anyway as you have doused the flames of desire before they even happen. This is down to low self esteem brought on by a difficult and troubled past which has leaked into your present and will affect your future. Finding the fire and helping it to burn will improve self worth, faith in your desire and allow you to actually succeed.</p>
<p>Once you succeed at one thing you will find that you are able to stack up success more easily next time and the time after that. Having just that one visual aide works wonders&#8230;you should try it sometimes, and you might too realize the power it will equip you with on your way to your own success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://nicolasbaron.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bilaboxs1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-923" title="bilaboxs" src="http://nicolasbaron.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bilaboxs1-300x266.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="297" /></a><a href="http://nicolasbaron.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bilaboxs.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the middle of a session the other day I had a powerful realization. I was asked to think of a relationship I had with something in the last week, that in my mind was the ideal relationship, and to think of what it was about that relationship that made it ideal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A number of people from the blog group thought of their cars, tool sheds, families, workmates, old friends, even relationships with objects such as their mobile phone, speedboat, hand bag, or favorite pair of shoes. To each of these people, these things felt comfortable, and simple. The relationships they had with these people or objects was &#8216;rewarding&#8217; and easy to maintain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To make your marriage more rewarding, cast a look over:<br />
<a href="http://www.be-in-love-again.com">www.be-in-love-again.com</a> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When my turn came to identify my ideal relationship, I thought of our cat <a href="http://www.nicolasbaron.com/images/shalom.jpg" target="_blank">Shalom</a> who has very simple needs, and it is the ultimate ego-boost for me when I am home and I am greeted in such an enthusiastic fashion just for walking down the stairs, or displaying his affection by popping on my lap as I seat at my desk. I don’t know of any others that greet me so enthusiastically day after day. No matter how cold the night was (cat free house at night) or no matter how busy my day has been, when I didn&#8217;t get much time to play with him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I call this unconditional love. Even without having to leave the house, Shalom always comes to us to get and give love from us, unconditionnaly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what is unconditional love?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unconditional love is the type of love that comes without conditions. It is the type of love that you have for your partner when the romantic, hollywood-style love is gone. Once the romantic love is gone you make the transition to &#8220;real&#8221; love. Real love is love you have for your partner despite the knowledge that they are not perfect. You know your partner has faults. You know your partner is not perfect. You know your partner makes mistakes sometimes, but that’s okay. You still love them. This is unconditional love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The same thing applies to you however in looking at your partner’s faults. You acknowledge that you are the same. You have faults. You are not perfect. You know you make mistakes sometimes, but that’s okay. That’s called self-acceptance, and you expect unconditional love to overcome the faults and imperfections that people have.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what do you get from this then? Should we all go out and get cats to teach us something about unconditional love? Maybe there is a lesson to be learnt here. We all clutter our lives with trials and tribulations, and there is the temptation to let our issues rule our lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But if you are serious about saving your marriage you need to put the clutter to one side and let your unconditional love come through. It is okay to have faults and make mistakes. And love will conquer them all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Have a think about unconditional love and how you can apply this realization to your relationship.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You may be making mistakes that will jeopardize your marriage recovery! The proven strategies in my <em><a href="http://www.be-in-love-again.com" target="_blank">Be In Love Again</a></em> e-course has helped save thousands of marriages (or establish when to call it quits), and is guaranteed to deliver results, or your money back.</p>
