Making The Decision – Failure or Success?
Every second you have a choice about what you think. A lot of people don’t control their thoughts consequently there is lots of negativity vibrating in their minds. It’s on television, newspapers and yes, even colleagues and family members’ lips. They think it – they feel it – they live it.
Imagine searching for happiness…seeing it in everyone else’s smiles and even on your face, but you don’t feel it. Life seems dim and glum and you are ‘supposed’ to be happy – but you are not! There is a line in a song that sings ‘you contemplate finishing your life’ and that’s all I did for a nanosecond and then shunned it. I had children who relied on me! You seem to be missing something that everyone else knows about and has, but you don’t. What is it? This feeling of being a failure and unhappy is crippling you. You ask yourself – what do I have to do?
One day a friend invited me to a parenting course and I’ve never stopped learning since then. You see, I discovered that as a result of being a victim of teenage school bullying, my symptom was low self esteem. And, in my marriage I was still allowing myself to get bullied. I hadn’t yet learnt how to stop it. After several different attempts to solve this, I was faced with another choice. My hardest decision was made – I became a single parent. My responsibility was to my daughters and myself. I needed to learn the tricks about high self esteem and positive thinking if I wanted more success and happiness our lives.
Over the next 25 years I committed to educating myself and sharing with my daughters and eventually clients. I knew the feeling of failure and didn’t like it, so I committed myself to success. Nike says ‘Just do it’ and I do. Thousands of miss-takes (I spell it like that for a reason) because they are just miss takes on your road to success. Without these learning curves I would not be who I am today and you will not learn without your journey. You didn’t learn how to use the computer at your first attempt – it is the same in life.
Along my journey many varied principles have been important stepping stones. However in 2000 - the year of the new millennium I was unprepared for receiving a message. I was out walking when a voice, I believe was God spoke to me. He told me to create a self esteem day. At that stage I did not have the confidence or courage but I believe I was given my life mission – to teach self esteem. Years later, I have embraced all the ‘unusual’ messages and learning curves I have encountered and written my life story, the movie and following the path I was invited onto by ‘the universe’ or God.
Oprah has said a quote:
What has made me successful is the ability to surrender my plans, dreams and goals to a Power that’s great than other people and greater than myself.
Finally my learning has caught up to this quote because if I didn’t I’d feel like a failure again and I really prefer the feeling of success.
Now, what about you? Everyone has different learning curves, the most important is embrace yours.
Here are seven tips to help your success:
1) Rate your self esteem now. Visit http://youtu.be/xP2ycOdDTPY
2) Commit your life to yourself and becoming your best.
3) Decide on your dreams and set goals to achieve.
4) Discover your passions and include them into your life.
5) Learn to control your thoughts…one at a time.
6) Have a collection of positive books, quotes, videos, poems ready to read when you start to think negative thoughts.
7) Every day do one activity to boost your self esteem and do one action towards your goals.

you with things like we*ght loss, your finances,
pain relief, anxiety, procrastination, fears and
phobias and much more.

The Late Great Steve Job
Personal Life
Born in 1955 and was put up for adoption by his unwed parents shortly after his birth. Paul and Clara Jobs of Mountainview, California, adopted him. The father was a machinist who worked on lasers, while his wife was an accountant.
They moved to Los Altos, California, before he entered high school. A statement the preteen made to his parents allegedly precipitated the move: he said that he wouldn’t return to school in Mountainview, so his parents decided to move. While a high school student, he contacted William Hewlett, the president of Hewlett Packard, and asked for some parts for an electronics project. He not only obtained the parts he desired; he was offered a summer job at Hewlett Packard.
Jobs graduated from high school in 1972 and briefly attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon. In 1974, he went to work for Atari Incorporated as a video game designer. After saving some money from his stint at Atari, Jobs was able to embark on a spiritual sojourn to the Indian subcontinent during the summer of 1974. While in India, Jobs sought to immerse himself in the Eastern way of life. A bout with dysentery in the autumn of 1974 cut his trip short and Jobs moved back to California and into a commune.
Career Details
By 1975, Jobs started to get involved with the Homebrew Computer Club, which was headed by Steve Wozniak, an acquaintance of his from Hewlett Packard. Wozniak was starting to develop what would become the prototype for the Apple Computer series. Jobs had persuaded him to market his designs and prototypes and the two of them began, in earnest, to develop what would ultimately become the first Apple Computer.
Jobs and Wozniak worked on the Apple I in Jobs’ garage and by 1976 they offered models for sale. The most uniquely innovative feature of the $700 machine was its single board read-only memory (ROM), which instructed the computer to load and read other programs from outside sources.
The development and sale of the Apple II, which retained the unique features of its predecessor in an updated format, began in 1977. Jobs then got in touch with the former marketing manager at Intel and brought him to Apple. Jobs began to encourage independent programmers to create software for the Apple II, and soon everything from business management tools to video games became available for use on the Apple II.
Overview
Maverick computer innovator Steve Jobs, along with his friend and partner, Steve Wozniak, formed the Apple Computer Company in the late 1970s. They pioneered the design and development of desktop computers for the general public. The creation of the Macintosh computer in the mid-1980s ushered in a new era of tremendously widespread user friendly machines. After being ousted from Apple, Jobs went on to form the NeXT Computer Company. He also bought Pixar Animation Studios, where Toy Story, the first wholly computer generated and animated film, was created.

An Inspirational Story
I’ve just read a great book which gives me another more
focussed look at life.
He’s from one famous who you may have heard of, but first
let me share his inspirational story. You might be inspired like me.
As a youngster he was unable to read. We look at this as something negative in life yet on the other hand he was very talented at sports. In his early teens he discovered he could teach himself to read, and with the help of his mother achieved his early life long ambition. He began to read, investigate and research from the vast knowledge of books he could now read.
Determined to live life ‘his way’ when his father told him ‘not to visit’ his girlfriend, he left home. For a number of years he lived on the streets even keeping warm from the vents of diners on the cold nights, in the surf and on the beach. When he lacked food or transport, strangers gave him a welcoming hand and he learnt
about the opposite affects of life, the negative and challenges and the
positives where he was supported by the universe, God, or luck (which ever
names you like) in ‘one way or another’.
Years later he studied as chiropractor and handled the patients no other doctor would touch. He learnt the reputation of being a miraculous healer. He began new journey to write and share his methods of healing, locally then globally.
He no longer lived on the streets and instead had apartments
around the world. He lived on a ship and continues to spread his messages of gratitude for life.
He is now a world-leading inspirational speaker and author.
His scope of knowledge is a culmination of 34 years of research and studies of
more than 28,000 texts in over 200 different disciples, ranging from
psychology, philosophy, and metaphysics to theology, neurology and physiology.
I heard him speak in Auckland New Zealand recently and travelled off his
itinerary to help and give a free impromptu presentation to the people of Christchurch.
If you’ve watched The Secret you’ve seen him. His name (if you haven’t guessed) is Dr John Feel Demartini.
The reason I’ve shared this story is because of my hiccups in life (you know
the dying and surviving thing) with you, is because I’ve had many positive
experiences from this one negative experience in my life, and I learnt about
being grateful for the challenges and wins in life.
So examine your life, and if you’re off track, not feeling positive, motivated and enthusiastic about every day, maybe it’s time to take action.
One thing I can help you with, is my online Success Coaching programme.
It starts you re-evaluating what’s important to you and making changes you need so you’re embracing life and your awesome journey.
