I read enthusiastically this article titled Enable Your Success: Create A Powerful Vision, by Chuck Kocher yesterday evening while waiting for my kids to finish their homework. Being in a mood to read all these motivating, inspiring articles makes me wonder if I am living life to the fullest, seriously, and till the end of this article I have the answer.
This article is very conversational type and it looks at you like it is trying to tell you to start taking action, immediately! I have picked some lines from the article, here and there, to make it short, enjoy reading it, it might help you too.
Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Where am I really going with my life, my career or my business?” Do you ever feel that your passion, energy and attitude are just not what they used to be? Do you sense a need for change but you are not really sure what to do? Do you finally want to take control of your destiny and your life?
At one point of our lives, most of us have asked these questions or ourselves. But the biggest question of all is what did you do about it - or what are you going to do about it? Sadly enough, most people dream but never really do anything more than that.
You see, you - and only you - control the keys to your destiny. Creating a powerful vision is the start of it all and will set your life in forward motion toward success. It will unlock your energy, attitude and passion.
In life, we will have many choices to make. We can choose to be reactive or be proactive. Do you want to set the course for your life, or do you want to simply follow a pre-destined map?
You and you alone control how you think. Our mind is the most powerful asset we have.
Creating A Powerful Vision
- You need to paint a picture of the future that is vivid and colorful. You can leave no detail unturned.
- You will need to see yourself in your vision.
- You will also need to feel what it is like to be in your vision.
Six Essentials for Actualizing your Powerful Vision
1. The Plan
- Have a comprehensive plan
- Your plan must have specific goals that are measurable and achievable.
- Have significant goals and objectives, that will move you closer to your vision.
2. Trusted Advisors
- You must have experts to offer you counsel and advice.
3. Find A Mentor
- Find someone who has been there and done it in your industry or related field.
- Don’t forget to learn from the mistakes that they made along the way.
4. Jury of your peers
- Create a network or group of peers that you can consult with on a periodic basis.
- Open an honest feedback from a peer group is a fantastic way to learn.
5. Flawless Execution
- Commit yourself to flawless execution of your plans.
- A comprehensive plan is a requirement.
- Have an action plan that enables execution.
- Execution will make or break your vision.
- The devil truly lies in the details of execution!
6. Embrace Continual Learning And Change
- A vision is not static, but dynamic. You will change and it will change.
- Be ready and embrace change.
- Be a voracious learner.
CAUTION! Seven Vision Killers.
Creating a powerful vision is one thing - actualizing it is another. There are many obstacles that you will face in actualizing your vision. However, the biggest obstacle that you may actually face might just be you.
The following are the personal vision killers that we see time and time again:
- Procastination/Indecision - I will eventually make my decision…
- Lack of total Commitment/Focus - The grass is always greener…
- Self-belief/Confidence - I just can’t do it!
- Fear of failure and/or success - This is really just an excuse not to be successful!
- Knowing it already - If you stop learning, you stop growing and stop living!
- Trying to do it all yourself - Why would anyone in their right mind try to do it all themselves?
- Dream, dream, dream - Always living in the future and never making it happen in the present!
YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE…..
If you really want to change, you can. But first, you must have the desire to and then commit to do so. So I challenge you to take control of your destiny, create a powerful vision and start on the journey to success in your career, your business and your life!

Here’s a great article which I really liked by Louise Hay. I would like to share it with you, all comments are welcome…..
Prosperity
“I deserve the best, and I accept the best, now.”
If you want the above affirmation to be true for you, then you DO NOT want to believe any of the following statements:
Money doesn’t grow on trees.
Rich people are crooks.
I will never get a good job.
I will never make any money.
Money goes out faster than it comes in.
I am always in debt.
Poor people can never get out from under.
My parents are poor, and I will be poor.
Only people who cheat have money.
Save for a rainy day.
Money only comes from hard work.
How many of this beliefs belong to you? Do you really think that believing any of them will bring you prosperity?
It is old limited thinking. Perhaps it was what your family believed about money, because family beliefs stay with us unless we consciously release them. Wherever it came from, it must leave your consciousness if you want to prosper.
To me, true prosperity begins with feeling good about yourself. It is also the freedom to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. It is never an amount of money; it is a state of mind.
If we do not accept the idea that we ‘deserve’ to prosper, then even when abundance falls in our laps, we will refuse it somehow. Look at this example :
A student was working to increase his prosperity. He came to class one night so excited, for he had just won $500. He kept saying, “I don’t believe it! I never win anything.” It was a reflection of his changing consciousness. He still felt he did not really deserve it. Following week he couldn’t come to class, as he had broken his leg. The doctor bills came to $500!
He had been frightened to “move forward” in a new “prosperous direction” and felt undeserving, so he punished himself in this way. Whatever we concentrate on increases, so don’t concentrate on your bills. If you concentrate on lack and debt, then you will create more lack and debt!
There is an inexhaustible supply in the Universe. Begin to be aware of it. Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find that it increases. Our own belief in lack and limitation is the only thing that is limiting us. What belief is limiting you?
Be sure you are not rejecting prosperity now. Keep the flow of things moving through you. This way, you let the Universe know you are ready to receive your good.
Just take care of your own thoughts. Bless another’s good fortune, and know there’s plenty for all. Begin to recognize prosperity everywhere, and rejoice in it. Rejoice in the abundance of being able to awaken each morning and experience a new day.

What is the secret of some individuals who have made scientific discoveries, overcome obstacles, accomplished incredible feats of physical strength, became heroes of overwhelming odds or manifested miracles through their time on earth? These people weren’t blessed with superior intelligence or physical abilities….more often than not, it was quite the opposite! What was it that they had, that made them different? What was the secret for their accomplishments?
The KNEW…..they absolutely KNEW that there was a way and an answer. They KNEW…..they absolutely KNEW that they were going to accomplish their goal. Sometimes they weren’t sure HOW they were going to do it…..they just knew it would happen. Failure was not an option. Set backs were temporary because the final goal was in site. Just like someone stranded in a desert without water for days…nothing will deter him from reaching his goal for survival when he sees the oasis with refreshing water in front of him! Focus is laser straight, Determination is absolute, Faith is unwavering!
What if I told you that YOU can have the same power for greatness? I don’t care what is that you want to achieve or accomplish…..you CAN do it. Now, take a moment to visualize something or think about a goal you would like to accomplish. Picture in your mind what it looks like, what it feels like? You can see an inner light and an endless sight into the future. You can feel the power emanating and you suddenly feel at peace. You can see your destiny, you have been placed here on this earth to make a significant difference for good. You will accomplish your goal. It is pre-ordained and it must happen. You may have difficulties on your journey, but fear not because you will be watched over and guided. Resonate with this thought for a while. How would you act if you KNEW…..absolutely KNEW faithfully that there is a way to realize a worthy dream?
Dear reader, you have the power right now to bring into being anything you want. I am not being mystical…..I just know. We all have the power but unfortunately most of do not use it. We just don’t seem to believe it, we don’t seem to have faith in it. But it’s there…..kind of floating around inside and all around you right now!!!
Looking back on the early days when the seed of a dream was planted in my mind by my dearest husband to start internet marketing…..I had spent a great deal of time trying to find motivation from within me to start. I am a stay at home mother of five kids and with zero ability on the internet. The line of people who advised me to not start the internet marketing were extensive and formidable. Yet….something inside me kept urging me forward, besides the motivation and encouragement from my husband. I can’t explain it. All I remember is that I KNEW I COULD DO IT. It continued to plague me until I just couldn’t stand it any longer. I knew there was a way to do this AND create a better life for me and my family.
Eight months have passed since the beginning of that dream. Mistakes and set-backs happened - some were quite severe - but failure was never an option. I didn’t quit. My husband encouraged me to keep my mind on track and to keep looking forward. A valuable lesson learned is that take time to listen and learn from the many accomplished individuals who already traveled through the “school of hard-knocks”.
I was blessed with mentors who came into my life, foremost being my husband. Some of the feedback wasn’t easy to hear, but it led me in the right direction. We enter the world as babies. Babies crawl, walk and…..falls down. They learn from experiences before they begin again. You too must crawl, walk, fall down…many times in some cases, to achieve you goals.
If you have a passion, a dream, a genuine desire to make matters better…..then seriously apply these guides to your inner being:
- Don’t ever give up.
- Do whatever it takes to stay motivated, read, listen to tapes, change your thinking, put reminders around you, meditate and pray.
- If it isn’t working…then try another path.
- Find a loving mentor.
- Follow your own gut-feelings.
- Be charitable, be kind.
- Have the right intentions.
Life is full of choices. “Trying” is not an action or a result. You either DO or DON’T DO something. You either decide to change your life or you don’t. You either complete your goals or you don’t. No matter what you may have been told, success in life is hard work and does not come without sacrifice. You will make wrong choices and experience setbacks. Some will be minor, some maybe substantial. But that’s OK.
See it, say it, be it. Use the power of visualization and affirmations to speed up your goal-making process. Two of the most powerful tools available to mankind are positive visualizations and positive affirmations. And these tools are free!
Challenge yourself to pay the price of success to improve your life and those around you. The price you will pay for success is much less than the price you will pay for failure. God Bless.
