Wisdom On The Web
Did you know that 1/3 of the training of an athlete is visualizing? As well as seeing themselves winning, athletes visualize their entire contest, the announcement that they are the winner, as well as the celebration. They regularly practise meditation visualization. Visualizations within that state of meditation are very powerful and effective. Did you also know, that if you visualize about working out, it builds your muscle, as if you really had worked out? Think too, of the great inventors, who might have gone into a calm room and emerged with the solution for an invention? To produce similar results in your own life, you’ll first need to know how to meditate. The best way to meditate is mantra meditation. After a few minutes you are deeply relaxed and, with some practice, you get yourself into a higher dimension where there is no space and no time. It is magical, because you can even time travel through your life. Athletes, artists, opera singers and successful people use this. Spend 6 minutes a day to meditate on (ad) your personally created visualizations, here.
Life Power Tip

Action
Look up at the stars if you have a clear sky tonight. Share it with someone.
Challenge
Go to bed half an hour earlier than you might have otherwise.
Quote
Instead of fighting your problems, picture your way out of them. -Vernon Howard

Get supplies e.g. paper, staples, ink, batteries, so you will not run low.
Question

Affirmation

Uplifting Extra
Focus is a rare resource. The world does not pause for attention, it constantly demands more. Social media, notifications, endless tasks, urgent emails, all fragment thought and energy. Few realise that scattered attention comes at a hidden cost. Every half-hearted effort reduces clarity, drains energy and erodes satisfaction. Modern life demands it all, scattering attention and draining energy. Reclaim focus, strengthen mental clarity and engage with what matters. The strategies of environment design, digital minimalism and mindset help you thrive instead of merely surviving.

More inspired self improvement every day!
It’s difficult to be inspired if you’re stuck in a negative state. Inspiration is not just a flash of vision, it’s a motivation that births creativity.
People who get inspired are usually the ones more eager to jump into a project and stick with it. Inspired people have greater confidence not to doubt themselves.
Every day, seek out personal moments of clarity, increasing your awareness of new possibilities that surround you.

Any content published by me at Forward Steps is never “absolute truth”. I simply direct you to a variety of ideas that prickle your mind and introduce positive resources to better equip your life journey.
In the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes…
“One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions”.
One favorite saying at my desk, is…
Whatever you focus on, WILL expand! Share on XThat’s one of many reasons that I love to share positive content. Forward Steps is for adding wings to our unique life journey!
Sometimes, you’ll find me recommending or presenting the same product(s) more than one time.
When repeating a training or using a tool that I’ve used or come across before, often I’ll “see” something brand new or have a fresh insight/perspective, that I might not have picked up on earlier. In that moment, perhaps I am finally “ready” to REALLY hear and receive its message or lesson.
It is not unlike seeing a movie for the second time and realizing that I’d not remembered seeing a particular scene, from the first viewing. As Nelson Mandela once said…
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
When you see something that has already been presented to you once before, then I invite you to revisit it anyhow.
Give up any judgement about whether it is “good” or “bad”. It JUST IS and you are alive, so you’re in luck. You get to choose, again!
I love these words from Gelett Burgess…
“If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead.”
Tens of thousands of people, from many countries & backgrounds, receive Forward Steps emails. Everyone is at different stages of their life journey, everyone is looking for different things and experiencing different things.
Some of us learn best by hearing, others are more visual and yet others love to gather information by reading. This makes for a phenomenal challenge, in satisfying everybody’s individual needs and preferences. Even should we assume “that nothing is impossible” – this challenge gives an awfully good impression of “impossible”!
We are all different. Seldom one solution fits all. I provide a vast array of resources (hundreds, in fact) to cater for a multi-dimensional audience and I always recommend you remember this quote…
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own. -Bruce Lee Share on XIn Lak’ech Ala K’in,
