Spring’s Motto: Love Never Fails. Live Every Day in Love, Faith, Passion and Abundance!

My First Dream and New Dreams

To achieve great things, we must first dream. What is your dream? Are you still striving for it? I’d share with you a humble journey of dreams……

It’s very interesting to recall my first dream today when I was volunteering to school career day. My life’s first dream and wish was that I wanted to be a teacher, and I still remember how I was enjoying teaching neighborhood kids when I was 9-10 years old! I admired my teachers and what they were teaching us and helping open new doors for us, to the outside big amazing world…

I had wonderful academic performance through the educational years. When I needed to take exams for university, I followed some teachers advice to register for computer science major as it was the trend and most popular one at that time with a good prospect for a nice career. I forgot my first dream.

After I graduated from one of the best universities in China and was choosing my PhD programs in the USA, I got the chance to reflect on my passion, as I was not really enjoying to work with computers:). I followed my heart and chose Education Management, and was accepted by Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania. I was very happy and excited for it. But unfortunately my visa application to the USA was rejected, my dream and heart were broken…for years……

After years of working in international corporations, and finishing my Executive MBA, I finally came to the USA, and got a director position into the headquarters of a fortune 100 company by wall street.

2009, after I left the corporate world, I finally got another chance to reflect, research, learn, and choose what was my true passion. I found coaching, so close to education, while even more inspiring and empowering. I got my professional coaching certificate from New York University. My new dream picked up wings! And since then, I never looked back!

It’s been 10 years for me in coaching. The students asked me, what could be my next career. I said, this it is, empowering abundant entrepreneurs and thought leaders, this would be my career for the rest of my life. In it I am a life long learner, have been luckily learning from so many great mentors, have been transforming myself through the years, will be better of myself and better in my practice, and help more entrepreneurs and leaders to stand out in the market with their blessed passions and gifts to fulfill their true dreams……

In this faithful journey, I’m getting my bigger vision and bigger dreams……

“To achieve great things, we must first dream.”

Our dreams are the nudges of our call and our true purpose. Never ignore that nudges and secret whispers from the above.

Let’s do what we truly love, never forget our dreams, dream bigger, and achieve greater!!

To Your Abundant Happiness and Success……

Love and Blessings,

Spring Zheng

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.
• I decide to always follow my passion and bliss and live in love and joy for every day of my life.

Heaven or Hell

When people sigh for the toughness of life, when people struggle in daily life and almost lose their hope, when people starve for happiness while reality keeps telling them the contrast, no matter if people are religious or not, there may be the big question about whether life is a heaven or hell?   

There are many versions of Heaven or Hell stories. Here I’d like to share two versions and discuss the wisdom they reveal to us.  

***********

Story Version 1:

There was once a samurai who wanted to learn the difference between heaven and hell. He sought until he found a master from whom he thought he could learn. He stood before the Master and asked him what was the difference between heaven and hell. The Master took the samurai’s sword and, turning it to the flat of the blade, struck the samurai on the head. The samurai was surprised at this but chose to ignore it. He thought that the Master had failed to understand his question. He once again asked the Master about the difference between heaven and hell. Again the Master struck the samurai on the head. The samurai staggered back and puzzled over this. He approached with his question for a third time and, before he could utter a word, the Master struck him a third time. The samurai was now so enraged at this behavior that he grabbed his sword from the Master, raised it over his head and was prepared to bring it down on the Master’s head when the Master raised one finger and the samurai paused.

“That is hell,” said the Master.

The samurai was instantly so overcome by the courage of this frail old man – to have risked his life for the sake of a stranger’s question – that he fell to his knees and bowed before the Master.

“That is heaven,” said the Master.

***********

Story Version 2:

A man spoke with the Lord about Heaven and Hell. “I will show you Hell,” said the Lord. And they went into a room which had a large pot of stew in the middle. The smell was delicious and around the pot sat people who were famished and desperate. All were holding spoons with very long handless which reached to the pot, but because the handles of the spoons were longer than their arms, it was impossible to get the stew into their mouths. Their suffering was terrible.

“Now I will show you Heaven,” said the Lord, and they went into an identical room. There was a similar pot of stew and the people had the same identical spoons, but they were well nourished, talking and happy.

At first the man did not understand.

“It is simple,” said the Lord. “You see, they have learned to feed each other.”

***********

You do not need believe in either story as they are more like metaphors. But the wisdom enlightened in them deserves our deep reflection.

You could apply these metaphors in your real life:

When you struggle for anything and feel the stress and even pain on: career, success, wealth, fame, health, relationship……

That is hell.

When you live at present, appreciate and enjoy whatever you have, live a meaningful life, help each other and provide valuable things to others ……

That is heaven.

***********

Now questions to you:

Who should take responsibility for our sufferings?

What could make the difference between heaven and hell?

I hope you have the answers, and you do not need suffer any more.

The difference between heaven and hell is all in our mind.

The good news is we have the great powers to decide where to go, heaven or hell.

What powers do we have? It’s easy to remember our 3C’s.

Consciousness, Compassion and Collaboration. Rethink about these powers in the above stories and cases. What a difference could these powers make in a blink!

I wish you live happily and know how to turn over difficult situations using your great powers. If you do not think you have these powers or currently could not effectively use them, please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you find, claim and use these great powers to live your heavenly life on the earth. Heaven or hell, you decide.

Be the Master of your life

Be the master of your life, means that you are the master of your body, your mind, your emotions, your spirit, and the environment that you create around you.  Some people may think that to be the master of our life, we “have to” CONTROL and FORCE our body, mind, emotions and spirit to do certain things and the environment to occur in certain ways. Is that really a master?

On the contrast, true Masters let go and enjoy the rhythms of their body, mind, emotions, spirit and environment. You may have found that the more you want to control or force, the farther you are from what you really desire: love, relationships, career, money, health, freedom……

Think about the real freedom way to live. Here is a self-training tip. The more you think you MUST have something to live well and happily, the more you may be unhappy, and the more you need let it go.  Live on the contrast, that WITHOUT IT YET YOU CAN LIVE HAPPILY!  Please say this to yourself whichever matches your situation:

Without a soul mate yet, I can live happily.

Without much money yet, I can live happily.

Without a successful career yet, I can live happily. 

…….

Please don’t get me wrong. This way is not teaching you not to wish for soul mate, for money and for success. They can still be your dearest dreams and guide your efforts, but your happiness is not DEPENDING on them any more!

The above Contrary Thinking is for instant situation transition. To have long term and lasting transformation for less stress and freedom, you need know yourself.  Yes, Know Yourself All The Time! Ask yourself, Who Am I and What Am I For In This World, to see if you have clear and satisfied answers. If not, please don’t stop pursuing the answer for a worthy life, or seeking for professional help to find the answer earlier.

Now keep your self-training, reflect and find the evidence that you can live happily and appreciate it everyday especially when you think that you have nothing:

I have my lovely family,

I have friends,

I have dreams and commitment,

I have my magic powers of thinking, loving and creating,

……

Keep a strategic mindset training till appreciation becomes your new habit and inerasable mind power.

Now, start to make strategic planning and take step-by-step action to realize your dream. Even though that may be a thousand-mile journey, start it right now and persist.

Further more, only when you become the endless fountain of your own love, wisdom and happiness, could you give more to others, and will the law of attraction favor you. Connect with the universe, where you will find endless power to recharge yourself. Magic will begin when you are not even aware of it.

So let’s recap the four-phase approach to “Be the Master of Your Life”:  

• Let go, contrary thinking, know yourself, be free.  
• Be happy on the evidences that worthy your gratitude. 
• Keep your efforts in planning and committed actions, and hold your faith.  
• Connect with the Universe, love and give, and let the miracles come to you naturally.

If you have further interest in this four-phase approach to “Be the Master of Your Life”, please contact me for more information. If you share with me your ideal target, my professional empowerment will support you to get there efficiently.

The greatest factor in happiness

Keirsey.com recently released news on their survey and research on happiness and its factors.

http://www.keirsey.com/personalityzone/happiness_survey.asp

They have some impressive findings, especially on how money and personality impact happiness.

How much money do you need for happiness?  You may not believe it, both Keirsey and the NAS study found that a household income of $75K seemed to be key number! After meeting their basic living standards, many people found that they do not need much money to feel happy. I hope you are one of these “simple” but “happy” people!

Keirsey then revealed another important finding, “The greatest factor in happiness is one’s personality type. 74% of extraverts are happy, as opposed to only 56% of introverts.”

Is it true that some people are born to be happier than some other people? Seems the Creator is unfair? So what can you do especially if you are now an introvert?

This survey and research continued to provide some valuable recommendation: “In general, it appears that when individuals have the chance to share ‘the good’ with others, it leads to an increase in happiness, and when individuals are able to share ‘the bad and the ugly’ with others, it decreases the level of unhappiness felt within.”

So “… talking aloud ……to laugh together in celebration, or to simply ‘get things off your chest’.”

It seems more easy and natural for extraverts to talk aloud and share openly with others than introverts. Can one’s personality change purposely?

I used to think I am an introvert when I was a student. I was so focused on learning, and books were my best friends, which resulted in my excellent study performance. I had just a few loyal friends and I did not want to expand my network even though sometimes I felt very lonely with only books! After I graduated and started to work, the big world taught me how important it is to connect with other professionals and resources which could enrich my development. After years of exploration, with my growth in love and wisdom, I realized that giving is more valuable and meaningful than asking, and it brings deeper inside happiness. Now as a professional coach, I am dedicating my work and service to empower others to live their best life and fulfill in love, wisdom and happiness. From an introvert I have grown into an extravert(also proven by Keirsey’s test)! With love and wisdom, I am happily doing my dream work!  

This secret may need a more profound study and research to give scientific proof, that Personality could be changed by Love and Wisdom! If keirsey’s team could know this secret, they would not have judged and announced that “The greatest factor in happiness is one’s personality type”.   

If I did it, you could too. So don’t worry about your original or current personality. Forget about seeking happiness. Instead, focus on learning and revealing your inside love and wisdom. Find every opportunity to practice your caring, sharing and giving. You will open up to the world, and happiness will find you.

P.S. As one of the resources, our LinkedIn Group “Spring Magic Life Society” will be a great place for you to find similar-spirit people, and practice exploring and sharing in love, wisdom and happiness.

What is beyond Tian Men?

Please watch this video first. It has audio in English. After watching it, please get “Back” to this blog page.

Haute Voltige – Tianmen Cave Flight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu8S5vn6ShI

Astonishing, isn’t it?

Tian Men, in Chinese, means the gate to the heaven. It’s a wonder, a natural wonder.

Which part do you think is really the magic? Tian Men, or the pilots, or both?

It’s a race. No one was forced to take it. Those pilots must participate the race only because they really wanted and desired this challenge, a new challenge different from any of their previous experiences.

Did you see how excited and enjoying those pilots were after they passed through Tian Men and entered into the bigger and higher sky? The passing through process was only about a few seconds, what’s going on there in those pilots’ minds? We can feel the courage, focus and determination in them, and we see the victory, excitement and joy. That’s enough witness for us.   

Did you feel the energy changes during the process, especially after the airplanes passed through Tian Men and the pilots looked up and around with excitement and fulfilling joy? Even though you were not the pilots, with your silent witness, could you also feel the heart beating, the courage collection, the focus, the determined action, then the endless freedom and happiness? Don’t you want to pass through Tian Men yourself at least once in your life as well?

You do not necessarily need go to China and go to the Tianmen Mountian for such a wonderful experience. Don’t you? Life itself has many Tianmens, so are the passing through and conquering opportunities.

Now when you are facing a big life challenge, when you are really terrified or frustrated or unsatisfied, you may imagine it as a Tian Men, the gate to the heaven, which you as the pilot, “want” to steer your airplane to pass through and go beyond without any hesitation.  You registered for the race as your life would not give up. You put up your pilot helmet as your soul would not withdraw. You hold tight your steering wheel and look right into Tian Men cave your target, everything else does not exist any more. There is only you and your target, together as a one, at present. Now your airplane flies up, you are getting closer and closer to it, before your airplane actually steers through the cave, your mind and soul has already passed through it, with your full-heart determination and commitment.

Is the flight race more admirable without the Tian Men? Is the weather more beautiful without four seasons? Is happiness more enjoyable without pain and suffering? Is life more interesting without challenges and failures?

Yes, life is not only the Tianmen racing, and you may not be a master pilot. You may fail in some life challenges.  Those real pilots may fail many times in their learning, practice and taking challenges in other places before their Tianmen race. If we only look at Tian Men as a cave, the sky is only like that little hole, similar to our life, may just be like that challenge. Those pilots did not give up in their previous failures, and they did not see Tian Men challenge as just passing through a little hole, otherwise they would never get the chance to challenge Tianmen and win it. In their eyes, Tian Men is the hole towards a bigger and higher sky, and the gate to the heaven. The big sky, heaven, courage, victory, freedom, and happiness is their real unlimited target.

Every life and its different life stages may have different Tian Mens. My current Tian Men is to further balance my commitments to both my young family and my creative work, keep loving, writing, coaching, empowering, connecting and serving more people.  What is your current Tian Men? May I invite you to participate in this Tian Men flight challenge? We share the Tian Men challenge, but do not race with me, instead, race with yourself, the old you, the terrified or frustrated or unsatisfied you, for a new, brave and better you.

So take yourself as a pilot, a never-give-up life soldier, and take your challenges, as a Tian Men, one by one. Fall down, climb up again. When you really conquer a Tian Men, enjoy that victory, not for winning a race, but for knowing yourself, collecting your courage, committing your heart, determining your mind, steering your action, exploring your potential and making a new life victory.

The 4-Level Happiness Pyramid

Happiness is a very interesting and popular topic. Many people are searching for it, researching on it, assessing it, discussing it, sharing it…… Some resources could even list out over 30 types of happiness. Some teach people diverse tips of getting happiness. Some focus on work, some focus on finance, some focus on relationship, some focus on spirituality……But few of these resources clarify the depth of happiness and help people how to comprehensively and organically access higher levels of true happiness.

Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert introduced the concept of Synthetic Happiness vs. Natural Happiness, and proved that Synthetic Happiness is real as well. This concept or terminology may confuse some people that they may discriminate some forms of happiness from being natural. Actually all the different forms of real happiness are natural, no matter if it’s generated automatically from getting what we want, or synthesized/manufactured from our thinking, or transcended from both automatic and synthetic processing. These forms of happiness are just at different levels of Natural Happiness.

With over 17 years of personal experience, studying and reflection on different statuses and levels of happiness, I found that natural happiness touches our life at the depth of four levels. A Happiness Pyramid could help illuminate the depth and levels.

At the bottom of the Happiness Pyramid is the Level Four happiness: Biological Happiness. Up from the bottom is the Level Three: Happiness in Wisdom. The Level Two is: Happiness in Love. At the top of the pyramid is the Level One: Happiness in Wise Love.

Level One: Happiness in Wise Love

Unconditional and giving love guided by wisdom. Generated by our powerful thinking wisdom and magic emotional wisdom.

Level Two: Happiness in Love

Romantic love. Generated by our magic emotional wisdom.

Level Three: Happiness in Wisdom

Inner peace and joy. Generated by our powerful thinking wisdom.

Level Four: Biological Happiness

Pleasure. Automatically generated by our brain when we get what we want.

Level Four the Biological Happiness is a fundamental type of happiness. The happiness we get in most of our life time is at this level. And most people most time are at this level. When our desires get satisfied, our brain generates certain chemicals, and we experience natural pleasure. But if we are only satisfied at this bottom level, or our consciousness only stays at this level, pleasure stays short with us, and we may be driven by materials including money and positions to satisfy our desires. Sometimes in this process we could become unconscious, which means that we may not feel the specialty and preciousness of happiness, and we may experience difficult to access the other three deeper levels of happiness.

Level Three Happiness in Wisdom is a breakthrough and sustaining level. Without Level Three, Level Two Happiness in Love could not last for long time. Without wisdom guidance, love could become blind and suffering in long run. Happiness based on generic love to the public and to the world belongs to Level Two. Inner peace and joy are typical description for this level of happiness. Level Three is most close to what psychologist Dan Gilbert called Synthetic Happiness, which means our brain and thinking could generate this level of happiness, no matter how stuck we may be. This level is also the most creative type of happiness as it proves how much powerful our wisdom thinking could turn things around.

Level Two Happiness in Love is a fortunate and romantic type of happiness. This is the most desiring type of happiness in most people’s hearts. And it’s popular especially in young people as they are romantic! In this kind of love, one forgets oneself and gives oneself fully to another one. This happiness is most described or praised by authors, poets, play writers, journalists, etc. When people are in Happiness in Love, they may find it difficult to stay calm or even peaceful, as they are extremely excited, passionate and full of imagination, being so happy while also nervous. Happiness in Love could also be narrow, as one may only think about another one while forget about the whole world!:).

Level One Happiness in Wise Love is the supreme level of happiness which is born from the marriage of love and wisdom, and from the unity of wise thinking and pure emotions. This is the rarest type of happiness and most blessed one. Only romantic and unconditional love guided by wisdom could lead people into the highest level of human’s happiness. In this kind of transcended love, one forgets oneself and gives oneself fully to another one, the world and the universe. Level One Happiness in Wise Love is also the most complex type of happiness, because it involves the harmonious dance of thinking and emotions. Unlike Level Three Happiness in Wisdom where most emotions are under our thinking power’s control and may not get enough freedom, and unlike Level Two Happiness in Love where emotions are beyond our wisdom’s guidance and could become extreme and blind, level One Happiness in Wise Love invites both thinking wisdom and emotional wisdom to collaborate together and generate a magic mixture.

It’s important for us to be first conscious about the depth of happiness, and be aware which level we are currently at, before we could understand what happiness we really desire, only by then could we learn and discover how to access the higher levels of happiness.

In my future serials of articles, I would further discuss how to reveal the powerful thinking wisdom and the magic emotional wisdom. If you are interested in discovering your own wisdom and accessing higher levels of happiness as early as possible in your life, please feel free to contact me and start a magical discovering journey right now.

My First Inspiration

I have got so many inspirations from different resources through my growth and experience. It’s difficult to decide which one inspired me the most. One of my group members on LinkedIn asked the question (Who inspired you most and how?) in a discussion which reminded me my first memorable inspiration.

It was when I was still a kid, maybe in early elementary years. At my little home town, there were few sources of books. Whenever I could find a publishing, at home, from relatives or neighbors, no matter in what format (book, cartoon, magazine, newspaper, copied play, etc.), I would read it through in thirsty and satisfaction. One day, I found a book at a neighbor’s home. It’s a collection of plays from a foreign writer. Once I started reading the first play, I could not drop the book. I borrowed it, then read it day and night. When I finished the book, how I hoped that I could keep it! I did not see this book again for years, but I remembered that book writer, William Shakespeare. I did not know his fame, but I admired very much of his insights, wisdom and sense of humor. I had not read such kind of inspiring book for years till I grew up, entered university and joined the society independently. This book opened another world to me as a little explorer, a totally different and much bigger world than my little home town, and it enabled my rich imagination of the outer world and endless possibilities. I guess my growing passion of learning and exploring may also attribute to this first inspiration in my life.  

Later on, I read many great books, and learned from many resources, but I still remember clearly how that Shakespeare’s plays collection had generated a strong wakening and enlightening feeling in my little heart and mind. Since reading that book, I had been looking for such kind of mentor on my growth path, who loves life, holds wisdom and inspires people powerfully. This inspiration helped shape my initial dream to be an author who could inspire people with beautiful and wise words and values, as powerful as Shakespeare.

Now as a life and leadership coach, I see this first inspiration is still working on me. Through years of exploration and learning from many sources, I finally found my right position and how to live on my best dream and purpose. Through coaching, helping, inspiring and empowering people, I am so grateful that my life is finally on its fulfilling track. I discovered and built my specialty in empowering people to find their love, wisdom and happiness in the four core areas: oneself, career, romance, and the world (relationships).

I am also connecting and collaborating with similar-spirit people, where new inspirations are generated and shared. Now everyday I could learn from others, share with others, inspire others, empower others, and connect with more others. I think of my first inspiration and look forward to more big ones every now and in the future. I hope my dedicated work and service is also providing you such inspiration and support in your life.
