Huna in Hawaii
I have recently returned from Hawaii which was truly spectacular and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I was in Hawaii for a personal development program related to my home business in personal development as well as to relax and enjoy the company of my beloved. So I travelled all of that way to this remarkable conference, spent days in the company of like minded people and came away having had another life changing experience. However it was not until I returned home and read a particularly captivating article about Hawaii that I realised that I have missed something special and will have to return!! What a shame.
I refer to an article “The Secret Science Behind Miracles” published in New Dawn, written by Richard Smoley. For a personal development devotee, this is a lovely article that provides a good beginning for understanding the Hawaiian tradition of “Huna“. Smoley explains that the fundamental idea behind Huna is that a person, rather than being a single coherent entity has three parts that work in harmony (or not as the case may be). There is the strong, intuitive, emotional self, the reasoning self and the wise, utterly devoted, utterly loving parental self.
The article goes on to teach how to work with the three selves, to take guidance when making decisions and increase your self awareness through this practice. Serge Kahili King a noted Kahuna, says that attentive self-enquiry will eventually lead you to see the beliefs upon which you base your actions and once consciously recognised you can then change them if you so desire. Now I am aware that beliefs can and often are limiting and I have a few that I am working to change. You see why I must go back!!! How much fun would it be to work with a Kahuna.
Have Fun in Hawaii
I am having fun getting ready for our trip to Hawaii where we will mix with millionaires, eat with entrepreneurs, circulate with six figure chicks, conference with crack marketers and just generally have lots of fun. I can imagine lazy breakfasts by the sea, dreamy dinners under the stars and just generally lots of fun. There is no doubt that there will be long conversations over various yummy concoctions at gorgeous bars, sightseeing with similar successful people and just generally lots of fun. You get the picture!!
And guess what – this is personal development. Yep, the man of my dreams and I are off to one of the best ever personal development conferences and it will be fun, fun, fun because that is what life is about.
Especially when you have the best ever home business in personal development. So come on, what are you waiting for. Oh and keep watch here while I update you all from Hawaii.
The Secret – Napoleon Hill’s Version
In 1928, twenty years after he was commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to write a success formula that could be used by the average man, Napoleon Hill published “Think and Grow Rich“. Long before The Secret became known worldwide and influenced another generation of people, Hill, guided by Andrew Carnegie, interviewed 504 of America’s most famous men and produced the great Secret. Hill not only wrote the book which revealed the Secret, but also provided the Plan which together form a blueprint for anyone seeking success; not only financially but also successfully happy.
The book takes you through the 13 steps necessary to overcome all obstacles and achieve all of your ambitions and remember, it was written in the early 1900’s. It is an amazing book, a guiding light and a basic text for any student of personal development. These days, as expected, you can become a member of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and enjoy all of the benefits that the Internet has to offer. I can only imagine their lives if these men had access to the technologies that we have. However the book allows a glimpse of personal development 1928 style.
One of the key principals that Hill outlines is the mastermind which is the capacity to join up with a group of people who have harmonious minds and share your thoughts, thought energy and intelligence for their good and your own. This bringing together of thought energy creates a great bank of energy that is then used towards a specific purpose. According to Hill, this form of cooperative alliance has been the basis of nearly every great fortune. The message is simple, surround yourself with like minds in a harmonious environment, give generously to the mastermind yourself and receive the full benefits. To success and happiness!
Strategies for Success – Hot Tip 5
This hot tip is for women who are considering going into business, especially a home business, and I might be biased but I reckon that women should choose a home business in personal development. Do you know that in America, the number of women-owned firms continues to grow at twice the rate of all U.S. firms (23 percent vs. 9 percent). There are an estimated 10 million women-owned, privately-held U.S. businesses. The greatest challenge for women-owned firms is access to capital, credit and equity. Women start businesses on both lifestyle and financial reasons. Many run businesses from home to keep overheads low (reference). I can imagine that the same sort of statistic would exist elsewhere in the world.
I know for sure, in my home business in personal development that many of the business owners are women. And I know that these women have what it takes to set up a business that allows them to work from home. One of the things that it takes to be successful in your home business is persistence and perseverance. Not only to access capital, credit and equity as shown by the American statistics, but also to understand marketing, arrange a daily schedule of activities that works for you and to keep going while the business is established and producing an income. Persistence is the key.
And it pays to remember that people who do not succeed in their home business may be just one shot away from success when they give up. Persistence and perseverance is everything. Isn’t it great also to see the leadership role that women are taking in business about lifestyle and making money. Here in Cairns, in my home business in personal development, I can be persistent while enjoying my amazing lifestyle and having fun.
Six Daily Activities for Success
I am aware that some people believe that the Law of Attraction, if followed diligently, will bring you success of every kind that you desire. No doubt about it, there is ample evidence that The Law of Attraction gets you into the right vibration for success. That is Joy and Happiness. And there is no better vibration whether success follows or not – this is just great to experience. You only need to read The Secret to discover for yourself the high impact that the Law of Attraction has had on the lives of many people. However I can assure you that those people did not sit back and expect the Universe to provide. They did the following six things.
- Take action to produce an income every day. Be disciplined and do six things every day to make your business or job work.
- Daily visualisation and meditation. Visualising your desired state daily or more often is proven to work. Write out what it is that you desire and are prepared to take responsibility for, find a quiet space and see, hear, taste, smell and feel what it is like to have it. Meditation assists to still the mind and allow your energies to match your desires. Ten to fifteen minutes daily is ideal.
- Personal development activities that keep you focused in in the right attitude. Do thirty minutes worth every day. Watch The Secret, read Eckhart Tolle, go online and take a look at Abraham-Hicks, read my blogg or give me a call. Just do it! Just do personal development.
- Get together with like minded people, preferably those that you feel are harmonious to your thinking and who are already successful. Make a mastermind – that is join up your collective wisdom, bounce it off each other and watch the ideas grow.
- Grow the idea and expectation that you are a leader - BE the person that leaders are, DO the things that leaders do, Have the things that leaders have. And if you do not know the answer to those BE, DO, HAVES then find out because that is what leaders do. Leadership is not an accident, it is grown and nurtured.
- Show your appreciation and gratitude for everything that you have, all of the people you see, the world around you, every little thing. Soon you will see more and more things that you appreciate and you will feel your energy rise and become closer to how you want to feel it. Oh, and one last tip, be grateful for all of the things that are going to come your way in the future; that is those things that you desire.
And have fun!!
