			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://kiwitx.com/faithfullyresting.jpg" alt="I am faithfully resting in my belief" class="alignright"><strong>Here is a question for you today:</strong> What does it mean to rest in your belief?</p>
<p>Why do I ask this question? </p>
<p>Today&#8217;s affirmation #106 of the <a href = "http://www.LifeStyleFreedomClub.com/cmd.php?af=1039353" title = "Lifestyle Freedom Club" target = "blank">210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge</a> is:</p>
<div class = "topiccent">
<h3>I am faithfully resting in my belief to achieve my Why</h3>
</div>
<p><strong>Ok, so what DOES this mean?</strong><br />
It means you have come to a place of absolute CERTAINTY in your focus and faith. </p>
<p><strong>Now, this did not happen overnight. </strong><br />
<strong>It is a result of</strong> your daily consistent habits of speaking positive words, affirmations and taking positive action steps towards achieving your why. </p>
<p><strong>It is the result of </strong>keeping the vision of your why before you <strong>every day,</strong> using your vision boards and/or pictures, movies. Whatever your mind and brain respond to the best. </p>
<p><strong>It is the result of</strong> faithful, consistent daily action which forms your habits. These habits are formed first in your mind and then in your actions. </p>
<div class = "topiccent">Once your habits are completely formed in your life<br />
they become a part of YOU (of who you are). </div>
<p>When you form the habits that are focused on taking daily steps towards achieving your why, these habits become a part of you. Because these habits have become a part of YOU, they are now something you do every day in the same way as you drive a car. </p>
<p>Driving a car is so much a part of live that you do not have to stop and plan first right? You just do it. It is a part of your life, and who you are (a good driver right <img src='http://mindsetforliving.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<div class = "topiccent">
<h3>I am faithfully resting in my belief to achieve my Why</h3>
</div>
<p>In the same way, when you spend time every day training your brain to only focus on faith so you can live in the positive realm you will come to that place of rest in your belief. </p>
<p>There it will be easier to stay focused on the positive. Why? Because you are training your brain that way, and it is becoming a habit. </p>
<p><strong>Today&#8217;s Challenge:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Stay faithful to your daily training program.
</li>
<li>Immerse yourself with positive words and affirmations every day.
</li>
<li>Avoid the negative speakers and naysayers and stay focused on your dream.</li>
</ul>
<p>And always remember:</p>

One thing you will certainly find is that there will always be some attractive new thing crossing your path to catch your eye and try to distract you. You may be tempted you to go running after it.

However if you chase every new offer that comes your way, you will soon lose sight of your own goals and may well end up not achieving anything.

<strong>A well trained hound will stay focused</strong>
There is a well know sport in England know as the fox hunt. Hound dogs are trained to pursue a fox while a team of riders chase behind them. All are in hot pursuit of one poor little fox. These hounds are well trained to focus on their target which is of course the fox.

Many a juicy rabbit crosses the hound dogs' path while they are pursing that fox, but the hound that is worth anything will not be distracted by any diversion. ..]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.mindsetforliving.com/images/On its own by kalevkevad.jpg" alt="On its own by kalevkevad on flickr" align="left" />As you begin (and continue) your road to success you will make many discoveries along the way. One thing you will certainly find is that there will always be some attractive new thing crossing your path to catch your eye and try to distract you. You may be tempted you to go running after it.</p>
<p>However if you chase every new offer that comes your way, you will soon lose sight of your own goals and may well end up not achieving anything.</p>
<p><strong>A well trained hound will stay focused</strong><br />
There is a well know sport in England know as the fox hunt. Hound dogs are trained to pursue a fox while a team of riders chase behind them. All are in hot pursuit of one poor little fox. These hounds are well trained to focus on their target which is of course the fox.</p>
<p>Many a juicy rabbit crosses the hound dogs&#8217; path while they are pursing that fox, but the hound that is worth anything will not be distracted by any diversion. His focus is on his main goal, which is to catch that fox.</p>
<ul>
<li>How many juicy rabbits cross your path as you pursue your goals?</li>
<li>Is your focus fully set on your goals or are you busy chasing some of those juicy rabbits?</li>
<li>Are you on course or have you wandered off of your path?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>A well disciplined mind will stay focused.</strong><br />
One of the keys to a successful mindset is discipline. It takes discipline to stay on course without allowing yourself to be distracted until you reach your goals and have fulfilled your plans.</p>
<p><strong>How can you make sure you stay on track and reach the success you are aiming at?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Write out a clear plan which will start with writing out your goals.<br />
<br/></li>
<li>Determine that you will not change your course until you have reached your goals.<br />
<br/></li>
<li>Create a good filing system where you can keep anything that you think may flow with your life goals, or may be of interest to you later on.<br />
<br/></li>
<li>If anything crosses your path that you may be interested in but that will distract your immediate focus, file it for later. This will take discipline as the temptation may be to take time out to look at this new offer, or information that has just come your way.<br />
<br/></li>
<li>Design a reward system for yourself, so that you will stay encouraged along the way.Your brain is created to respond to a reward system.<br />
<a href="http://www.twitter.com/home?status=http://sn.im/k0l77+Reading+Make+Sure+You+Stay+On+Course" target = "blank" title="tweet this"><img src="http://www.mindsetforliving.com/images/tweet.jpg" alt="Tweet this" align="left" /></a><br/>Rewarding yourself adequately will keep your brain fresh and alert, able to continue the course to reach your goal.Make sure that your work plan includes intervals where you can do something different and special to keep yourself refreshed.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Here is an outline of your strategy for success:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Make your plan. Write out your goals and your plan to reach them.</li>
<li>Work your plan. This is where the actions starts.</li>
<li>Take intervals to relax. Make sure your plan of action includes intervals of time to relax.</li>
<li>Stay focused. Make sure you stay focused on your plan and your goals.</li>
<li>Celebrate your success. Take time to celebrate each success. This will keep you inspired to continue on and reach your goals.</li>
</ul>
