Live an Abundant Life ~ You Deserve It!

Eight tips to live a life filled with abundance...

1. Abundant people are always focused on what is right in their lives, instead of what is wrong. If you are one of those people that sees the good in a situation instead of the bad, then you are on the right path. Begin each day with gratitude. BE in complete gratitude for the blessings you enjoy in your life, this will bring so much more of that!

2. Abundant people are always looking for the solution versus the problem. The power of being solution-oriented can never be overstated. To be abundant look for solutions and focus little or no attention on the actual problem.
Switch off negative news and negative people. If possible have a complete 'media blackout' for at least a month and concentrate on pure positive energy. Visualise and Meditate and practice re-affirming your 'I Am' statements and watch the serendipitous events that start to show up in your life.

3. Abundant people focus on what they can give in a situation, versus what they can take. Abundant people know that as they give the best of themselves, they will receive more and more from the Universe like clockwork. There is no such thing as competition. Competition comes from a 'lack of' or poverty mindset. If you are in a constant state of being abundant then you can lead with a 'servant heart' without any fear or anxiety of giving competitive advantage to anyone else. Servant Leadership is the characteristic of paying forward to others a stream of ongoing value and support that requires the development of 'emotional intelligence'.
Give without want, and so shall you receive multiplicably in return.

4. Abundant people take 100% responsibility for everything in their lives. They know they create their reality, either good or bad. They know they can change it. When you have an abundant mentality and take 100% responsibility you then are empowered to create life the way you want it. When You’re Living the Law of Abundance You’re Never Again a Victim.
The fastest way to abundance is simply to just 'Be' abundant and then your thinking, speaking and acting will follow.

5. Abundant people admire and support others. People mired in lack consciousness are jealous and envious of others. Abundant people understand there is nothing to compete over, because in an abundant universe, there is more than enough for everyone. There is never anything to be jealous or envious over. When an abundant person sees a quality or desires something someone else has, they know they too can create it, and are therefore inspired to do so.

6. Abundant people appreciate everyone and everything around them. They appreciate their life and every life experience. People who come from a lack consciousness are focused on tearing down or complaining about everything. When you’re in appreciation you’re in abundance. When you’re in anger you’re in lack. Be in the 'Now' and appreciate the little things and fine details of this incredible physical existence we have been blessed with – have you heard the saying, 'God is in the detail'…take a moment NOW and just BE.

7. Abundant people know the universe is always supporting them. People operating in the majestic ease of abundance are in the flow of the universe and will experience more wonderful things which come to them automatically. Because they know the universe is a friendly place and always supporting them, they attract more abundance to them by being prepared and accepting of it. People who feel the universe is not supporting them are coming from a false premise that the universe is limited.

7 Keys To Effective Leadership..

John Maxwell is an international legend when it comes to the topic of leadership! In "The Right to Lead"...Learning Leadership Through Character and Courage, you will read about people who have earned the right to lead others. They became effective leaders not by making other people follow, but by making themselves the kind of person people would want to follow.
This book is loaded with stories, quotes and "nuggets" for anyone wishing to sharpen their leadership skills. Today, I'd like to share John's introduction to The Right to Lead. Enjoy!
Excerpt from: The Right to Lead, by John Maxwell...
WHAT GIVES A MAN OR WOMAN THE RIGHT TO LEAD?
It certainly isn't gained by election or appointment. Having position, title, rank, or degrees doesn't qualify anyone to lead other people. And the ability doesn't come automatically from age or experience, either. No, it would be accurate to say that no one can be given the right to lead. The right to lead can only be earned. And that takes time.
The Kind of Leader Others Want to Follow
The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. You must become someone others can trust to take them where they want to go. As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:
1. Let go of your ego.
The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. They lead in order to serve other people. Perhaps that is why Lawrence D. Bell remarked, "Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things, and I'll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things."
2. Become a good follower first.
Rare is the effective leader who didn't learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first - and why West Point has produced more leaders than the Harvard Business School.
3. Build positive relationships.
Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. That means it is by nature relational. Today's generation of leaders seem particularly aware of this because title and position mean so little to them. They know intuitively that people go along with people they get along with.
4. Work with excellence.
No one respects and follows mediocrity. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.
5. Rely on discipline, not emotion.
Leadership is often easy during the good times. It's when everything seems to be against you - when you're out of energy, and you don't want to lead - that you earn your place as a leader. During every season of life, leaders face crucial moments when they must choose between gearing up or giving up. To make it through those times, rely on the rock of discipline, not the shifting sand of emotion.
6. Make adding value your goal.
When you look at the leaders whose names are revered long after they have finished leading, you find that they were men and women who helped people to live better lives and reach their potential. That is the highest calling of leadership - and its highest value.
7. Give your power away.
One of the ironies of leadership is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. You're meant to be a river, not a reservoir. If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

The followers who looked to these leaders learned from them, and so can we. As you explore their worlds and words, remember that it takes time to become worthy of followers. Leadership isn't learned or earned in a moment.~John Maxwell
