Appreciation Challenge Day 14 – Believe In Yourself and Your Dream

I attended the Joint Venture Inside Circle’s monthly call for members who are most coaches. One inspiration the mentors shared was an encouragement for us all to hold onto our own genius zone, and believe in ourselves.

Every day we could get lost in our busyness and meet many challenges. We could feel stresses from work, relationships, finance, physical environment……yet normally the biggest stress and challenge come from within ourselves: our fears, our disappointment, our insecurity, and our doubts in ourselves. We are often so harsh on ourselves, that people say, we are our own worst enemy. No kidding, every day you can experience such self sabotaging many times consciously and unconsciously.

When you have a dream, or a desire, that you really want to realize, you can always feel some level of tension inside of you. Your dream wants to expand you, while your fears and doubts would try to contract you. You will experience much conflicts and even pains inside. You will become confused not knowing which voice to listen to and follow. No wonder The Secret emphasized that Believing is the most difficult while also most important phase.

Believing in yourself is the biggest struggling of any human being, and also the biggest secret to success!

I love these quotes too:

“If you do not believe in yourself, who will?”

“Believe in yourself, others will follow!”

“Believe in yourself, anything is possible!”

Sometimes, only quotes are not enough. We need more practices and strategies.

I’m appreciated that such inner struggling experiences helped me find out some great ways to deal with it so I can bounce back quickly. Here are some tips for you.

1. Face Yourself Honestly (Self Love)

Acknowledge all your feelings including the stresses and frustrations. Accept and embrace yourself, both good and bad, knowing that you are right what and where you are supposed to be.

2. Remind Yourself The Big Picture (Intention)

Every one has a shared purpose in this world, to fulfill abundance and happiness, for yourself, also for people you can serve with your gifts and talents. Your specific way to live in and serve this world is your unique purpose. Be clear about what your purpose is, and hold this big picture in your heart every day. Also post it where you can see easily, at home and in office.

3. Be Present (Attention and Creation)

Engage in everything you are doing, align it with your big picture, see how important it is to help you get closer to your big picture. Prioritize your time to do more of those that can help you get closer to fulfill your purpose and dreams.

4. Keep Your Sun Shining (No Tension)

Many personal development ways can help you relax and lift yourself up. Meditation, appreciation, your Thankful List, visualization, affirmation, reading, learning, taking nutritious food, exercising, making art crafts, playing with children, retreat, connecting with positive network, volunteering…… or at even higher level, getting regular coaching or mentoring to hold yourself accountable and uplifted to achieve better targets more effectively.

These practices will help you strengthen your faith and your mind muscles to believe more in yourself and your dreams, at the same time, to attract what you want with more ease and joy. Let’s ACT today! Always feel free to ask me for more help.

Sincere Love and Blessings,

Celebrate Every Day of Your Life

 

Over one year ago, I found out that I lost my best loved one’s soul and loyalty, in the most dramatic and devastating way. It was like losing my own life and beyond.

Through the year, I have been struggling at the edge of life and death, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. At the same time, I have two little innocent lives to protect, love and care every day. I prayed to quit, but I was not allowed by life. I was quiet and weeping inside most time through the year, in the total darkness.

Before and through the year, I have been seeking the truth, and the true self of me. It’s like all my life has been seeking the truth and meaningful fulfillment of my life. There were cloudy days, and there were stormy days when I could not see it clearly or even lost my consciousness.  There were lonely days, and there were tearing days when I was praying and praying for the answers and miracles.

Today, even though the winter is blowing its horn more strongly, even though I am still alone to fight the holy battle, I want to celebrate today.

Today, my faith has not changed, I still believe in life and love.

Today, my connections with people are not weakened, I still believe in people and their kindness.

Today, I am still and always there for my loved ones, I never fail my promise.

Today, I still hold my dreams and passions dearly, and devote my day to loving and serving people.

Today, I choose forgiveness, peace, appreciation and joy.

Today, I thank my life that never gives up, that always stands up from falls and wounds, that collects the pieces and keeps climbing the mountain.

Today, I thank God for His unfailing and loyal love, faith, and upcoming blessings beyond my imagination……

Today, I invite you to celebrate too, celebrate every day of your life. Big or small accomplishments, a target met, a task done, a new planning, a new discovery, a new friend, a new poem or article, or even quietness in peace, or even appreciation in your heart, or even just observation of life, or even just a new thought, a new inspiration, a little treatment, a gathering, a beauty of life just noticed, a moment of relaxation……

Join me please, for the celebration, every day of your life.

Share with the world, your lose, your win, your weeps, your joys, your changes, your thanks, and your celebration for any and all of that……

Your true being is the most beautiful thing in the world. Let the world feel you, and celebrate with you, every day of your life!

Join our LinkedIn Group “Spring Magic Life Society – Love Wisdom Happiness Success” and Facebook fan page “Spring Magic Life Society: Love In Action” to share your celebrations every day, to connect with inspiring people, and to create your new momentums and more abundant life every day!

Dear All:

Just a quick update to let you know my recent relocation.

A Transcending Holiday Season, Hell or Heaven

Dear All:

Everyone is preparing for the big holidays by the end of year. The air seems smiling. We smell all the sweetness and fragrance in colors. It’s time to celebrate.

To be honest with you, my heart is heavy. My smile is not with full joy. Am I really smiling recently? Now is my toughest time and 2014 is going to be the toughest year. My marriage and family is enduring the biggest challenge, and the test is beyond my wild imagination. I’ve been devoting myself to my love and family, now I need more than ever that my another half can devote loyalty and love to me and our family as well. We need the bond of faith, a faith beyond all the worldly odds. All the hurts make me feel the inside weakness, and I’m also looking for the transcendence to the strongest. I’m now in the middle, up and down. I am still enduring the deep fire, before the phoenix could be transformed and reborn. I’m experiencing big changes in my marriage, work and physical environment. In 2014, I must make breakthroughs in these three areas. I’m learning to face these big challenges, while my strength is not fully there yet. I need learn, grow and move forward step by step everyday, no matter what, collecting my strength back piece by piece. I ever wanted to quit in desperation. But my fate and faith make me not be able to stop. I can’t give up, my love, my passion and my faith. It’s a life or death issue, and hell or heaven.

I’m sharing this with you because you are my community, my living environment, and my friends. I want to be true to you and hope we can hold each other accountable. We all have different challenges through lives. We need more support to each other. I want to be more reliable and valuable to you by bringing out my best gifts and passion to serve you. I also want your support to help me go through this life test. I need and appreciate your prayers, to my growth, my breakthroughs, my marriage and my family.

Now it’s the time, more than ever, that we need be conscious to live on purpose and faith. Now it’s the time, more than ever, that we need pursue our passions no matter what to fulfill our abundance. Now it’s the time, more than ever, that we need love, wisdom and happiness to live a worthwhile life and a no-regret life.

Let’s hold our hearts together. Let’s hold our faith together. Let’s pray for each other. Let’s support each other to fulfill our individual abundance in the ONE, the biggest abundance.

Let’s develop a good habit of daily affirmation and infuse love, positivity and confidence into our selves, and our daily life. Let’s observe the changes of us and our environment, so we can testify how the intelligent universe is working with us.

Let me share with you my starting affirmation and we will go on from here. You can connect with me on LinkedIn and like my Facebook Fan Page “Spring Magic Life Society: Love In Action” to get upcoming affirmation update.

“God loves me, and people love me. My best resource is always ME.”

Thank you all for joining us and being there through the years! Wish you all a transforming and transcending holiday season!

With Abundant Love and Blessings,

Spring Zheng

When Your Passion Hits The Wall

You are a passionate person? OR you know what your passion is? Great, you will know what I’m meaning.

Is the world passionate? Not necessarily. At least our surroundings are most time not as passionate as we are!

So what you can experience…when your over-90%-time passion meets the 20-30%-time passion around you? It’s not difficult to estimate that most time, your passion can hit the wall, a hard concrete and cold wall!

What is your echo? Anger, sadness, frustration, uneasy, unhappy ……? Are you complaining to yourself: life is unfair, those people are ridiculous, or even go hell!

Now when you calm down a little bit, still with that frustration and bitterness, do you want to hear a different echo, coming from a positive resonance, with acceptance, understanding, appreciation, love and even joy? This is not crazy, is it!

Rejection or no-response makes us feel unaccepted and frustrated. Most time it steals our energy away. It’s like we send passionate energy out to the universe, most time it may disappear into the black hole and we lose our energy, which causes our negative responses in body, mind, emotions and spirit.

How can you not just keep a peaceful mindset but also maintain a high energy level no matter how our circumstances respond to our passion?

The answer is straight forward. Recharge yourself and get more energy back! With some small efforts, you can get even higher energy than before your passion hits the wall.

I’d recommend some good energy charging ways that I found effective to me.

• Daily learning, focusing on positive and motivational inspirations.
• ŸDaily constructive communications, writing, sharing and discussing inspirations with communities and groups. You can also focus on sharing love with your family and friends. Either way works. It’s even better if you do both.
• ŸDo what you love in your profession. For me, besides writing and empowering, it includes coaching clients, watching their transformation and listening to their new inspirations.
• ŸMeditation, at least 5-10 minutes every night before sleep. You can integrate other special energy applications like manifesting meditation, affirmation, visualization, or praying into this daily energy practice to make the result more positive.
• ŸExercise, like walking, biking, stretching, TaiChi, Yoga, tennis, golf …… every week at least 3 times of exercise in a way that you like. Do it yourself or get accountability. For example, I just took the challenge set by the YMCA near my community. They challenge members to take 12 Days of Holiday Health Activities and provide accountability by health coach and rewards.
• ŸDo other things that you enjoy, like hobbies, and change from time to time. Decorate house, try a new cooking recipe, gardening, shoot BB gun, do an art project with kids, explore a new place with family or friends ……
• ŸDo creative things or projects. When your passion focuses on new target, it forgets the old trial and will be re-cheerful. It’s the best time to try your new ideas, without considering the result.

Ÿ           ……

There are many ways to explore how to recharge yourself and resume a high energy level. Always remember the best guide, is your passion and joy. After you recharge and get energy back, you’ll believe that when one door is closed, there’s always another door open. Maybe you can find a door on the same wall that your passion hits.

What do you do when your passion hits the wall? What makes your energy re-boost fast and maintain high? We’ll look forward to your comments with your experience and insights!

Please help spread this resource to benefit other people so we can get more inspirations and energy bouncing back. Thanks!

BTW, I’m wondering if this article will hit the wall or some reflecting and glowing spirits?:)

5 Types of Most Effective Affirmations

Among many kinds of self-talk, there are five types are most meaningful, or maybe the only useful ones. They are effective affirmations that you would not want to miss, as developing and practicing them every day will help empower your dreams to come true sooner in your own mastery.

Why? The secret of affirmations is that they will work on your subconscious and quantum energy level, and replace deep negative believes and perspectives that are developed from previous experiences with positive ones. You attract whatever you think into your reality by the universal Law of Attraction.

Without affirmations, most of your fears, doubts and worries have been your dominant ways of thinking, talking and doing things. No wonder we often receive disappointed results, as negative thoughts and self-talk attract negative reality in our lives. On the contrast, positive affirmations attract positive and great things into our lives.

Some people may try affirmation for some time but would easily give up if they could not see fast physical results. Please think again about those limiting beliefs and negative thoughts that are hiding inside of you, keeping sabotaging you every day and driving you angry about yourself……You know they are there but feel you can’t do anything with them? No, you CAN change it! And you just need change your focus.

Reprogramming your mind needs some time and commitment that will be worth of your efforts, and it’s not difficult at all! If you can keep practicing the most effective affirmations and develop it into a new habit, you will soon find all the positive changes in yourself: your self-talk, your thinking, your feelings, your mindsets, your talking, your doing, and your being, then it’ll be your environment that starts to change as well and positive things will come to you……It is within your power and wisdom to create a wonderful life!

I found these 5 types of affirmations are most effective.

1.        Your Best Qualities

It’s most important to know yourself, and be proud of yourself. When you recognize and appreciate your best qualities, they will expand to be even greater and you will feel being fully loved by the universe.

Examples:

• I am gifted and resourceful. I have all the wisdom and power I need to realize my dream.
• I am born to do great things.
• My life is most precious because I can love, learn, choose, create and serve.
• The powerful love, endless wisdom and abundant happiness are the most magical gifts blessed to me.
• I have gifted passion, courage, commitment and integrity for my happiness and success.

2.   Your Expression of Appreciation and Love

Focusing on and expressing sincere appreciation and love attracts more blessings into your life. It’s the easiest way to tap into your happiness by thinking about things you are thankful for or things you feel love.

Examples:

• I am grateful for all people and things in my life. They are all purposeful to my growth and happiness.
• I love all people and all things, and I love every day of my life.
• I appreciate every challenge and difficulty in my life. They are the best times for my growth.
• I am thankful for my family, my work, my friends, my house, my car, my hobbits, my creativity, my location, the school, the supermarket, or the library……, because……  (find the thing you are especially thankful for every day!)

3.      Your Believes and Claims

Believe in yourself and great things will happen. The universe is full of resources waiting for your claim to help you grow and flourish.

Examples:

• I am born to be happy. Happiness is my life purpose and compass.
• So many people are loving me and supporting me. They are my parents, my family, my friends, my colleagues, my clients, my partners, my social connections…… (find your specific blessing every day!)
• I am always blessed with abundant opportunities more than I need.
• I believe I can be whatever I want to be.
• Doing what I love and following my passion and joy is a blessed job from God. I can NEVER FAIL on this divine path.

4.      Your Visualization

Visualization is the wings enabling you to fly out of the limiting reality. It can bring your brighter future to your door at any present moment.

Examples:

• All the best opportunities are coming to me for my dream’s realization.
• I’m doing what I really love every day and my dream is coming true.
• Countless ideal clients are attracted to me through surprising ways.
• My products and services are unique and innovative. They are popular attracting international clients and partners.
• My potential is fully explored every day. I’m always excited and creative in my loved work.
• I’m living in blessings and abundance in every area of my life.

5.      Your Decision

Selecting choice and making decision makes us feel powerful and in ownership of our life. Decisions also motivate us into actions to fulfill our dreams.

Examples:

• I choose to open myself to new connections and opportunities every day.
• I decide to make a step forward every day toward my dream.
• I select to embrace every challenge on my way to grow into who I am meant to be.
• I always choose to believe in and follow the divine guidance inside of me.

Who Can Save Your Relationship?

Everyday we are dealing with many tasks and challenges, from work and life. Do you know what is most energy boosting and what is most energy consuming? How can we save our day and enjoy a healthier and happier life?

Brian Tracy said, eighty percent of life’s satisfaction comes from meaningful relationships.

One dear member from my LinkedIn group “Spring Magic Life Society” shared a beautiful romantic story but it has a sad end. It described how a couple who started with strong attraction as soul mates ended up becoming strangers after years of marriage. They were blocking their feelings and sharing from each other after they returned to their respective self-centered patterns and lifestyles. The story called for continuous care and work to gain long lasting relationship.

It’s a great story with great meanings. It’s so true and common for many couples. Most people know that marriage and love need continuous care and work, why did many still fail? Because it’s difficult to apply every day, especially when there’s problem popped up like in the story. The woman looking for resuming the emotional connection tried hard and wanted to get the man’s attention and understanding but finally gave up. Both the man and the woman withdrew into their own cocoon and blocked themselves from opening and giving to each other.

Most men are not emotional nor like to express theirs. Most women are emotional and thirsty for listening, understanding and soul mating. Men and women are born totally different and will always be like this. Most time, it’s from women’s side to find the crisis of relationship and think themselves as the victims. The only way to make up this born or created “gap”, (I understand this as part of women’s privilege and purpose), is for women to learn more of the ART of LOVE, and hold on in UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Women are not meant or expected to change men, but with their magic power of femininity and love, men do change! They will learn to understand what women need and want, even though they will never be “perfectly” inside, it needs women’s endless faith and efforts. Eventually both women and men will learn the art of love and maintain a more balanced intimate relationship.

It’s not just that men need understand women, women need also understand men, their differences, their need of personal space, and most of all, their need of women’s love, care, respect and appraisal. Men need women, like women need men, just from different emphases. When we focus on the other and “feed” our lover’s needs, they will look for ours. Love always wins.

Most important of all, women who find themselves in the crisis of relationship need learn to enjoy themselves and not rely their happiness on men or any others. Only happy women can attract men and keep attracting them. It’s true for any lasting relationship including for family and friends. Happiness is the best beauty and love is the best virtue a woman can have.

It’ll be a lifelong benefit for women to learn how to think and meditate so they can be aware and adjust their moods, perspectives and expectation; learn how to apply the law of attraction, the law of love and related skills like visualization, praying and affirmation to manifest their desires and dreams; learn how to use constructive ways of communication to generate positive feedback instead of the reverse……there is much wisdom, art and practice involved in creating lasting and happy relationships.

Only when we learn the lessons that we are created to learn, and keep our ongoing efforts in the wisdom and art of love, can unconditional love thrive and last, and can marriage and family live happily ever after. So dear ladies, please stop looking for men to save you, wake up and take the full responsibility, and become the “saver” and “loving spirit” of your marriage, family and any great relationship you are looking for!

If you may need professional help in creating your happy relationships, please feel free to contact me. You will be guided and empowered to reveal your unlimited wisdom, beauty and power, to create the wonderful relationships you have been dreaming for and deserve!
