Successful thoughts and actions
There is no chance to prosperity and success. There is no luck involved either. Prosperity is the result of deliberate thought and action. That from Catherine Ponder’s book The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. It is a great book and I recommend you read it.
Let’s look at that statement:
Prosperity is the result of deliberate thought and action.
That changes things doesn’t it? Deliberate thought deliberate action. So it is a result of you, and me, us working toward a goal. Working toward success. Working toward prosperity.

Everyone feels down from time to time. We all have our bad days where we really don’t want to do much. Today is one of those days here. It is cool and rainy. It is one of those days that everyone just wants to sleep. But, there are many little changes we can make in our lives that can give our mood a boost, boosting your mood brightens up your day, brings a smile and makes life that little bit easier to deal with. It doesn’t have to be anything outlandish, just something you wouldn’t normally consider doing. Here are some tips to help give you that quick mood boost and can be done whenever you are feeling out of sorts with the world or feeling a little down.
If you have 5 minutes to spare you can:
- Take out your daily goal planner and write something down that you already completed today and cross it straight off the list
- Take the weight off your feet and eat one of your 5 daily portions of fruit or veg
- Look at yourself in the mirror and pull as many different funny faces as you can in 5 minutes
- Read the comics in the daily paper
- Take a quick shower or at least splash your face with water
- Use some of that expensive perfume or deodorant you had bought and enjoy the fragrance
If you have 15 minutes to spare you can:
- De-clutter your desk or an area of your home
- Treat yourself to a moisturizing mask
- Change into a favorite piece of clothing and admire yourself
- Do a few quick and easy exercises or stretches
- Read a few pages of a book or magazine you enjoy
- Make yourself a big fresh fruit smoothie, sit down and enjoy it
- Make a list of all the people you haven’t been in touch with in a while and schedule a time to call each of them
- Write down what you have enjoyed doing so far during the day in your journal
- Find a comfortable spot, close your eyes and enjoy the silence, sound of rain or chirping birds
If you have 30 minutes spare you can:
- Call someone you haven’t talked with in a while and catch up on all the gossip you missed
- Use your computer to look for ideas for your summer vacation
- Take a soak in a tub full of your favorite bubbles or skin softener
- Listen to your favorite CD
- Go to your local store and treat yourself
- Go for a walk and say hello to everyone you meet
- Turn off the TV, phone and anything else that could disturb you and sit down and enjoy peace and quiet for a half-hour
- Plan a quiet romantic meal
- Write a letter to someone special and mail it
- Discover a new recipe on the internet and plan to cook it for dinner
- Replace any old photographs you have in frames with more updated pictures
Now that you are feeling better lets get back to being Prosperous!

True success in life can only come by not settling for mediocrity, we should always strive to achieve and get the most out of life that we possibly can, it is only when we push ourselves and give it all we’ve got can we then give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. Success in life depends on self-discipline and not giving in at the first hurdle you come across or going into a project only half heartedly, by pushing yourself that little bit further you will be surprised at what you are capable of achieving, this is what separates the winners from the losers or the successful from the unsuccessful.
All people say that they want to succeed in life at whatever they do but very few are willing to actually push themselves them little bit further in order to achieve their goals, and this is why some of us succeed in life and others fail. How well you succeed is all about how bad you want the success, what it means to you, are you willing to succeed a little or are you willing to go the whole way and beyond to achieve a higher status and be outstanding?
We all start out with the best of intentions when racing towards the goals we have set, we shoot out of the starting gate and run down the straight but many of us fall back at the first hurdle, we don’t push, we run out of steam when the going gets tough and don’t pause to catch our second wind but come to a halt and give up, or stumble on half heartedly and cross the line in second or third place at best.
Those who do have the winning streak in them, who know that with a little extra push and a pause to catch their breath and then a final sprint down the home straight and past the winning post a head in front of their competitors are the ones that end up with the glory and true success in life.
Of course all those who are successful don’t just rely on pushing themselves, all winners have a strategy and are willing to be flexible on their way to success because life has a way of throwing many different spanners into the works along the way. We have to be able to adapt to these unexpected happenings when they occur and not get bogged down, we have to take them in our stride, skip around them and continue in the race.
Never settle for anything less than giving it you’re all. Here are some tips to help you remember never to settle for anything but your best no matter what the project is
- It doesn’t matter how big or small the project put your all into getting it completed
- If you think you have given it your best shot, pause and ask yourself “could I improve”
- Plan our your project but always be willing to make changes and work your way around the unexpected
- It’s ok to pause but get back into the race and carry on until you pass the finish line.

Let’s say you’ve got your attitude correct, the right skill set honed, and the right philosophy. Great! You’re on your way - somewhere. If you don’t have the right direction planned out, you’ll simply wander aimlessly.
You don’t attempt even the smallest of construction jobs without a plan, and yet many people work in a field they just happened to “fall in to” because someone suggested it, or a friend was doing it, or even worse-they didn’t have anything else to do.
Wandering through your career can be just as deadly as wandering through a desert without a compass and canteen-in both places, you can die a slow death of thirst and exhaustion.
You must know where you want to go in order to set a direction for your life and career. You’ve probably heard the adage, “No one plans to fail, but they do fail to plan.” So determine where it is that you want to go (i.e., what you want to do) and set a course for it.
I recommend doing something you love. Not something that you can tolerate or achieve a reasonable pension from after 30 years of work (do pensions even exist anymore?), but something you are truly passionate about.
If it’s music, think about how you are gifted in that area. Do you sing? Would your singing chip paint off a house? Do you have an ear for pitch and tune? Do you play an instrument? Consider the field of professional golf for a moment. Do you love to golf? Would you be willing to commit days, weeks, months, and years to bettering your game to the point when you could hit the pro-circuit?
Do you have a means to support yourself (and your family) while you work on your dream job? Would you be happy and content doing whatever you chose-for the rest of your days, if need be? These are all questions you should ask yourself as you try to set the direction for your life, and ultimately, for your success.
Now that you know where you want to go, you must plan and prepare for your destination. As you plan and prepare, it’s fair to expect that you will achieve that goal-expectations play a large role in success, no matter what the field. If you plan well and are committed to the work involved, then and only then, can you expect to achieve the desired results in your life.
