Here is a possibility to consider. While you are waiting for your breakthrough, your breakthrough may well be waiting for you! – to be ready!

Here is a question for you:
Have you been preparing for your breakthrough?

Mm, this question may have you thinking. Good.

Now here is a question that you may be asking:

Just how DOES one prepare for a breakthrough? Ah, that is a great question.

Here are three top things you can do (and should be doing) every day that will guarantee to put you in a position to receive your breakthrough.

1. Develop a daily habit of personal development.
The first foundation to build into your life that will empower you to achieve your dreams is a daily disciplined habit of training your brain to focus on the positive.

You will achieve this by making sure that you feed your mind with positive, inspirational words every day.

This is why it is so necessary to have a deliberate, disciplined plan of reading and listening to good inspirational teachings every day.

Remember in the last article we talked about feeding your mind. Every word you read, listen to, think and act on is feeding your mind.

Make sure that what you are feeding your mind with WILL prepare you to receive the breakthrough that you desire to see in your life.

2. Have you discovered your WHY?
What is your why? This is also known as your life purpose. You were born onto this earth for a purpose.

The greatest discovery you will ever make in this life is the discovery of your WHY. (If you have not yet ordered your free CD Find Your Why Now, do it now!

3. Make a plan and follow your plan.
Once you have discovered your life purpose, create a plan of action that you can follow to achieve your why. Then TAKE ACTION . Follow your plan, taking one step every day.

Let’s suppose you have decided to take a vacation in Yellowstone Park.

Would you start driving without a map? I am sure you would not.

Would you get out your map, plan your journey and then file your plan and forget about it? Of course not. That would not get you to your destination right?

In order to arrive at your dream vacation (Yellowstone Park) you will:
Plan your trip and then follow your plan (map), right?

In the same way, once you find your WHY (your destination), you need to create your plan and then take ACTION. Follow your plan and then you WILL soon be ready for your breakthrough!

How can I be so sure of that? Because, if you are following these 3 steps you are preparing for your breakthrough!

Now you can confidently make the declaration which is affirmation #120 of John Di Lemme’s 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge which is:

Now, the opportunity arrived and you are about to seize it. Suddenly, seeming out of nowhere, a flood of doubts comes rushing into your mind.

• What if this does not work after all?
• What if I cannot pull it off?
• What if this is not even what I really want, and I end up disillusioned?
• and on go the “what ifs”.

I am sure that this sounds familiar. Did you notice that ALL of these “what ifs” are actually words of fear? And remember, Fear Paralyzes (and Faith Liberates).

3 Important Steps To Eliminate The Internal Lying Words Of Fear

We are looking at the affirmation for Day 90 in the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge that I am involved in and blogging about. Today’s affirmation will show you just how to eliminate those internal lying words of fear:

Believe In Yourself:

In September, I wrote an article about Believing In Yourself. Do take a fresh look at this article. This is definitely the first step towards eliminating those internal lying words of fear.

• If you do not believe in yourself, it will be very hard to bombard yourself with words of self belief.
• If you do not believe in yourself, it will be easy to fall into the trap of believing those lying words of fear.

Remember, affirmations by themselves will not bring you to the success you desire. Affirmations or words by themselves are like a body with no soul.

You need to add the “soul”. In other words, you need to add faith, emotion and ACTION. You believe those words, you feel those words and you ACT on those words.

Believe In Your Birthright.

Do you know that you have a birthright? What is your birthright? You are a champion by birth. Have you ordered your copy of Champions Are Born, Losers Are Made yet?

If not, stop RIGHT now, and go to Champions Are Born, Losers Are Madethis link and order your copy. Then when it arrives, DEVOUR it!

No man is born into this world who’s work is not born with him – Lowell Jackson Thomas

YOU were born with a purpose, a destiny AND a birthright. Your birthright empowers you to reach your destiny.

Believe In Your Abilities.

There is a VERY interesting verse in the Bible that talks about your abilities. (Actually, the Bible is full of VERY interesting verses, but today we will zero in on just one of them).

It is found in the Epistle to the Philippians 2:13
For it is God who is producing in you both the desire and the ability to do what pleases him.

You were born with the seed of your destiny in your heart. This was put there by your Creator. But He did not JUST put the desire to achieve, but He also put the ability in you. You DO have the ability, the talents to do what is in your heart to do.

Today’s Challenge:

• Seeds need to be cultivated so they can grow into healthy strong plants or trees. It is YOUR responsibility to cultivate the seed in your heart.
• Talents need to be developed. This takes training, practice and yes WORK. It is YOUR responsibility to develop your talents.

It is now just over 5 years ago since my car rolled in Mexico leaving me with all the symptoms of a light concussion.

I could not focus to do tedious tasks or in fact anything that required any measure of concentration. Even a simple task such as ironing a shirt took up to three attempts before I could complete it.

It was during this time that I discovered that my brain responds to my own spoken voice. I could give myself instructions out loud and my brain would respond and I was able to actually get things done!

This is why today’s affirmation means so much to me.

I know this is true. Your brain does respond to your voice. Speaking positive affirmations out loud WILL build your faith.

This is an essential part of your training as a champion.

You speak out what you are hearing every day. This is because what your words come from the abundance of your heart. What you fill your heart and mind with WILL come out.

This is why it is so important to immerse yourself in good motivational and inspirational teaching every day.

As you make this declaration (along with the other 18 affirmations we have accumulated), make sure you also take action and start (or continue) immersing yourself with good strong motivational and inspirational teaching.

Download these excellent mp3s and mp4s now and start listening to them today!

This will make it so much easier and more natural for you to speak positively all day long. Remember, the words you speak come from the abundance of your heart (and mind).

What you put into your heart and mind WILL come out. So make sure that the words you speak confirm that you ARE a champion.

What exactly IS an affirmation?
The dictionary tells me that an affirmation is a statement asserting the existence of a truth of something, the act of affirming, asserting, avouching or stating something.

So when you make an affirmation, you are asserting the existence of the truth of your statement, right?

Now I am sure that you have read many affirmations over Twitter or Facebook (or both) and perhaps stopped to think and say: Well I am not REALLY sure that this is true for me.

For example: are you REALLY sure that you are a champion? Perhaps you are or perhaps you have doubts about that.

Let’s suppose that you are not yet REALLY sure that you are a champion. Why would there be some uncertainty in your mind about this?

Did you read the article on this blog entitled Discover Your Champion Spirit? In this article I talked about an experiment organized by Jack Canfield. I read about this experiment in a book on Accelerated Learning.

A team of researchers were sent to accompany 100 young school children (ages 5-6) for 1 day. They were to make a note of every word that each child spoke. The results were astounding.

• The average positive comments spoken were 72 while
• The average negative comments spoken were 684!

So that is a sample of how YOU probably grew up. Yes, you more than likely grew up speaking up to 10 times more negative words than you spoke positive.

Add to that the following fact:
The average person has close to 85,000 negative thoughts every day.

Now we have the reason for needing to make these assertive declarations EVERY DAY.

So what can affirmations do for you?
When you start to make assertive declarations every day you are reprogramming your brain from all of the negative influences that you were brought up hearing, and most likely still hear around you.

Note that the word “ASSERTIVE” is found in the definition of affirmation.

When you speak these statements out loud, your brain will hear YOUR voice and begin to respond.

As you speak with conviction (assertiveness) your brain will take even more notice. When you make these same declarations every day your brain will begin to create a new track in your mind. The new track will be a positive one. If you are diligent to continue with the habit of making affirmations (OUT LOUD) every day this track will replace the old negative one.

NOTE:
For these affirmations to REALLY “work”, you cannot simply make declarations every day and expect miracles to happen.

You will certainly notice some definite changes in your life as your brain responds to the positive words. However for the miracle to be complete in your life you also need to ACT.

Faith words plus ACTION will lead to miracles.

Could this mean that we actually do things in life without being ACTIVELY involved?

Absolutely!

Many people spend their days on this planet involved in so many tasks and projects, but they are rarely ever ACTIVELY involved in what much of what they are doing.

The Passive Person:

A passive person is simply a bystander of life. He or she watches life and the world go by while dreaming of better days. The passive person has usually become resigned to their lifestyle which they don’t enjoy but simply put up with.

They get their “buzz” from dreaming of the day when their circumstances will magically change. Passive people tend to scoff at the idea of having a real purpose and goals for their lives. Consequently they never have any defined idea of what they really want in life.

Making dreams become a reality is not a part of the mindset of a very passive person. Such folk do not have a mindset for living, because they are not really living. They are simply existing.

The Active Person:

What does it mean to be actively involved?

1. When you are actively involved in something it means your project has your complete attention and you have more than one of your five senses occupied.

   Note: This does not mean you will be obsessed with your project to the exclusion of other important things in life. It simply means that while you are working on your task, you will be fully involved

2. You will have a clear vision of where you are going because you have set goals and created a work plan for each day. Consequently your attitude will always be full of expectancy.
   
   
3. Everything you involve yourself in will lead to the fulfillment of your dreams, because that is what you expect to happen. Your goals and daily work plan will help you fulfill your dreams as you follow your plan of action each day.
   
   
4. Difficulties and obstacles will cross your path of course since these are a part of life. However because you have a purpose and direction, you will soon find a way to turn any difficulty into a new opportunity.

   When your focus is fixed on your purpose it will be easier to see the bigger picture when difficult things happen.

   When your mind is active it is easier to creatively seek solutions to obstacles.

5. An active person is always interested in learning new things. They are genuinely interested in the world and the people around them. They seek to be actively involved in everything they do. Their minds are most always active.

As you read through this post, you may have discovered an area of your life that is still a little passive.

Make it your goal today to activate this area. This will empower you even more to become actively involved in fulfilling your dreams.

And never forget:
