I am glad to announce that I have redesigned the “Daily Quote” page of this website. If you go to SuccessConciousness.com main site, you will see the “Daily Quote” link at the top of the right side of every page. When you click on the link you will be directed to the “Daily Quote” page. On that page you will find an inspiring quote, as well as an inspiring picture. You will also find beneath the picture a link leading to more quotes of the same author, or to quotes dealing with same subject. Sometimes the link points to an article about the same subject as the quote.

The former version of the Daily Quote opened in a small window, always with the same picture, but in the new version, it is a full size page with different pictures, and with a greater collection of quotes.

I have found that most people love to read inspirational quotes, because quotes motivate, inspire and teach, and help the reader to look at life from a different, and often-broader perspective.

Quotes, especially when they contain words of wisdom, often touch an invisible chord in the soul, and are like fine chocolate for the soul. Quotes bring light, understanding and sometimes humor too. They bring hope and faith, and help in times of difficulties and in time of happiness and success.

Do you want to use the power of your mind to attract things into your life?

There are some important first steps you should follow, and which require the investment of time and effort on your part. Using the power of your mind to create success doesn’t mean that you just think of something and it immediately jumps into your life.

People who learn about creative visualization and the law of attraction, often get too enthusiastic, and think that they will soon achieve success and get everything they want, just by thinking about what they want. But when nothing happens they get disappointed and abandon this subject.

Your thoughts and imagination can make changes in your life, but you need to follow certain rules, have a really strong desire, and be willing not just to dream or visualize, but do whatever necessary to get what you want, even if this involves work and, effort.

An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Do you think that the higher your expectations are the greater can be the disappointment?

Does this thought hold you from doing things in your life? If you think in this way, you will either refrain from acting, or subconsciously act in such a way as to bring failure and consequently disappointment into your life.

Not everything in life turns as one wants and expects, but that doesn’t mean one should not try. So what if there is failure? You learn from it and go on.

In order to achieve success in any area of life you need ambition and desire, and when you have ambition and desire, it is only natural to have expectations too. If there is fear of disappointment, you would either do nothing about your ambitions, or subconsciously spoil your chances of success, and then justify the saying that “The higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment.”

A good way to do things is to split them into small parts, small assignments or small ambitions. In this way they won’t feel intimidating, and it would be easier to achieve them. If things won’t work out, the disappointment won’t be great.

This question, about high expectations and disappointments, has been asked somewhere else at this blog, in the comments to the article “Anticipation and the Law of Attraction”, and an answer has been provided. Read more and post your comments.

The Mind-Body Connection: Visualizing Better Health
Use the power of your mind to ease pain and stress
By Polly Campbell

Can the mind-body connection lead to mind-body health? Let’s imagine it’s early, but you’re up and energized by the sun streaming through your window. You move easily. Your joints are supple, limber. You live without pain, stress, stiffness and fatigue.

Yeah, right. For those who experience the grating, aching and stiffness of arthritis, that scenario is hard to imagine – yet your imagination just might be the thing to turn this dream into reality. Creative visualization, experts say, can influence psychological states, perception and even everyday reality, enabling you to create a life with less stress and pain, as well as bring about more of the things you do want: mind-body health, happiness and success.

Sometimes called guided imagery, creative visualization helps you to imagine circumstances in your life unfolding exactly as you want – perfectly. As the scene plays out in your mind and you feel the powerful emotions that come with those positive images, the scenario actually will begin to play out in your life, says Joe Vitale, one of the teachers featured in the best-selling self-empowerment book and DVD The Secret (Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2006).

The mind/body connection
Researchers long have believed that thoughts affect physical health. For thousands of years, medicine men, Hindu masters and other ancient civilizations worldwide have used visualization techniques to harness the power of their minds to reap physical manifestations. World-class athletes, such as Tiger Woods, and even NASA astronauts have adopted the practice to achieve peak performance.
