Your Life Is a Mysterious Journey, Not A Final Destination
May 28, 2010 by Donahue · 2 Comments
Brazilian author Paulo Coelho in his most famous book “The Alchemist”, tells the fanciful story of an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago. Santiago dreams of traveling the world in search of a worldly treasure. Throughout his travels, Santiago’s assumptions are regularly put to the test, but his determination and braveness win out. But as a result of the challenges he faced, by the end of this magical and inspirational fable Santiago realizes that the real gift in life “lies where your heart belongs.” Santiago’s resolve enables him to understand that the true fortune was the journey itself, jointly with all the knowledge he acquires and the discoveries he makes along the way.
Find Your Purpose
The analogy in our lives, is that we are on a personal journey as well in search for our own treasures. But we too frequently get sidetracked by the glitz and glamour of material treasures. We fill ourselves up with things in order to comfort ourselves, live up to an idealized image, or try to fit in. We tend to overlook the true treasures in our lives – our physical health, principles, achievements, disappointments, challenges, discipline, balance, fulfillment. The real treasures are those things that we discover through introspection and life’s experience, not those we take from a shelf at Best Buy or purchase on eBay. Take a moment to reflect on all the astounding insights you would miss if you passed through life without taking time to recognize the potential gifts your life’s experience grants you. If you run through life with only an outcome in mind, you risk missing or obscuring the palpable treasures along the way. Just like windshield wipers madly wipe away the rain, it is not uncommon for people to recklessly cast aside emotions they consider negative, painful or undesirable. When a person ignores certain events that happen in their life, they miss out on the opportunity to learn from them. Some of the most disappointing experiences turn out to carry the most valuable lessons in life. If one has the courage and faith to keep an open mind one can understand that you don’t always know where your journey will take you.
When there is no set path for you to follow it takes guts, resolve, conviction and discipline to take the road less traveled. On that journey, immense gifts are created and revealed. These are the gifts your true fortune is made of. Your challenge is to recognize the gifts you have been blessed with, and figure out a way to develop those gifts and invite personal fulfillment and satisfaction into your life. Consider professional coaching for preparing to rise to the occasion of your life’s journey.
First identify those things in life that you truly treasure. The things that will inspire you to move forward and find your own path.
Then identify the things that you need to leave behind in order to fully experience the journey. The things that keep you in your comfort zone that are safe and familiar.
Consider what will you have to say no to in order to say yes to your personal growth and development? The things you cherish that you are willing to give up in order to move from good to great.
You can only find the treasure within yourself if you are geared up to take the journey. Pursue this quest in every aspect of your life. Discover the hidden treasure that is already within you.
Only by fully experiencing the journey will you discover the path to your hidden treasure and ultimately your genuine personal success. Have faith that riches beyond your wildest imagination are within your grasp. All it takes to access them is an open mind, a willing spirit, and a sense of adventure. Enjoy the road less traveled!

Inside Secrets to an Abundant Life

Who among us has not wondered if there are some laws of attraction that govern fame, fortune and wealth. We see everyday examples of great people that have achieved a lot in their life time and are happy and wealthy. We spend our lives searching for the secret that lies behind achieving what we want in our lives. We need to find the laws of attraction that govern the secret behind successful people. You, as I do, want to have a perfect life, not necessarily their perfect life but an applicable variant of it to our needs and thoughts and concerns. We blame the fact that sometimes we do not manage to achieve something on the lack of knowledge of the laws of attraction that bring happiness and wealth. We say “what’s their secret”? “what do they have that I don’t?” We often settle that answer within ourselves with a simple “They just got lucky, they were in the right place at the right time”.
Visualize this..."money flows to me freely"
The truth is, this “luck” is available to all of us. There are several metaphysical laws govern the universe and are accessible to everyone, including you. One of those universal principles was made into a movie called “The Secret” – the law of attraction. This one universal law of attraction will help you succeed in anything you engage. The law of attraction is considered a true universal phenomena which will bring, if followed, fame, glory and wealth. Many tried to follow the instructions given for this phenomena from books or even the movie that appeared in 2006. But calling it a secret implying that it has been hidden from the public is a marketing ploy. The law of attraction and all of the other, less famous, universal laws are public knowledge and open to everyone.
The law of attraction has been put into several books so as people may benefit from reading and applying it. The secret behind the law of attraction is actually that anyone can benefit from this law and achieve success. There are however 11 laws (or principles) available to help you become successful not just financially, but in every way conceivable. After all we all have see wealthy people that were miserable. People have been motivated by these laws of prosperity in the hope that they will discover the secret behind success. In order to better understand the 11 forgotten laws it would be best to know some of them. The list is comprised of the law of compensation and non-resistance, the law of forgiveness that goes hand in hand with the law of sacrifice, the law of thinking, obedience and success, all of them sound very good when put together and let us not forget the law of supply, the law of attraction, the law of receiving and finally the law of increase. All of them make up the laws of prosperity, that should stand behind the secret of success.
The laws of prosperity actually form a complete package that has been around for some time know. Basically you have at your disposal laws of attraction that embody everything that man has learnt over the years. The secret is combining them into just one. You have a all-in-one type of package. We can use these laws to measure our achievements against our goals and to continue benefiting those around us in order for us too to have success. The laws of attraction are the secret behind a successful life. True guidelines that are no longer the secret that has been kept away from our eyes for so long.
