Every single invention this world has ever seen, started as a dream. If it wasn’t a dream, it was probably a thought spawned from a dream. So why do so many people treat dreamers like they are so different. Sure they are different but that is a good thing. Parents and the education system discourage our children from dreaming by saying things like:

“Stop Dreaming”

“He’s a Day-dreamer. He won’t amount to much”

“You want what? You’re dreaming!“

Dreaming Is The Cornerstone Of Success

Isn’t it funny that we try to stem the flow of success in children at such an early age? Because that is exactly what it is; Success. Dreaming is the cornerstone of creativity and success. How else would you create something totally new, that has never before existed or been possible, that is science fiction now and a part of the future? Children are born with a natural abundance of creativity that most adults lose during their path of conforming into society.

Imagine you have a big idea in your head – perhaps to become a firefighter or to finish college (finally), but you find yourself sabotaging yourself again and again. You make excuses not to research these goals or you simply don’t actively pursue them, even though you long to make them come true. In these situations, you need to ask yourself where your dream is coming from and why you’ve dreamt it in the first place

From the time we are young, we are able to dream about things that are greater than ourselves. Whether it’s material things or it’s experiences, we hold these ideas in our heads. They often come from a longing to make up for something in our lives – for example, if we want to be a doctor, it might be because we’ve seen someone become very ill or we want to follow in the footsteps of our parents or friends.

Dreams can come from:

• Friends

• Family

• Religion

• Media

• Your talents

By discovering the root cause that has spurned you onto certain dreams, you can begin to motivate yourself to actually realize these dreams – even if it seems like they’re far out of reach.

The Image Of Abundant Creativity

Think of a dream for a moment. Maybe one that you had recently. Try to hold this image in your head as a reminder whenever you begin to make excuses or put things off. Or you might want to picture yourself in the dream situation. Think about all of your senses and what it will be like to be a part of your dream. Harness the adundance of creativity that lies within you.

Your dream comes from you and uncovering the “why” will help you get started. Though you might not be living your dream tomorrow, you will start living in the possibility of your dream right now.

Have a most outstanding day

Recently, someone told me my body temporarily broke down because I was giving to much to others and not having enough time to myself. It stopped me in my tracks! I was forced to spend time on me…

Uncover The Mystery That Is “Your Life”

If there comes a point in your life when you simply can’t see the answers, you might feel pain and frustration with yourself. It seems like you should be able to help yourself uncover the mystery that is your life, so when you can’t figure things out, you might start to berate yourself for even trying. Though it seems like the rest of the world keeps us from being happy, we’re actually our own hardest audience. And that’s why a new relationship with your own identity is in order.

Look at yourself in the mirror right now – what do you see? You probably see the flaws in yourself or you don’t take the time to look at yourself because you feel like a disappointment to everyone. Now, look again in the mirror and pretend that you know this person, but that they are a separate identity from you. Think of this person as your best friend. Would you say that same things to them that you are saying to yourself whenever something goes wrong? Probably not.

So What Do You Do For Your Best Friend? You…

• Help them see another solution

• Cheer them on when they are feeling low

• Let them vent and be frustrated

• Ask them if they need help

• Point out things that might not be correct in their thinking

• Always focus on the positive points

• Support them unconditionally

And yet, we rarely do these things for ourselves. Looking over this list, doesn’t this look like just what you need in order to feel better when things are rough?

Each time you begin to attack yourself or get down on yourself for something, try to look at the situation as though it were happening to someone else and not to you. Not only will you learn to be gentler on yourself, but you might also find that you do like yourself much more than you realized. And you might want to be your own best friend.

Have a most outstanding day, my friend

In January 2008, Fiji-time was ingrained into my lifestyle for 2 weeks. My wife and 2 sons came with me to Fiji for the 3rd time since late 2004. That was where it all started for me. I’m referring to my turnaround in thinking and my “demise” of financial worries. Fiji was where I went to my first wealth creation seminar and made tremendous breakthroughs as a human being. A “Lifechanging Event” is what I labeled it as. The turning point that literally catapulted my mindset into territory categorized (by the cynics & skeptics) as impossible or “Too Good To Be True”.

I’ve Always Viewed Cynics With Healthy Skepticism!

Pardon the pun. I guess I would never have been any good in the military. I was never a conformer. The phrase “Court-marshal for disobedience” comes to mind. I don’t know, maybe I would have broken to the system. My lack of dogma, my refusal to take someone else’s word for it, made me try time and time again. I failed over and over. Eventually, I hit pay dirt. It took 37 years and it was right in front of me all along. I was blinded by its presence. It’s all in the mind!

YouTube Message of Gratitude From Malolo Island, Fiji

I filmed this video for you on Malolo Island In Fiji. Watch and hear one of my goals that I set in October 2004 whilst at that very wealth seminar that turned it around for me. It is my absolute utmost feeling of gratitude that makes my world go around. Discover that feeling and you have indeed found the Feeling Of Success.

For 2008, my promise and commitment to you is this:

1. The Promise: To deliver 3 videos like this on SeanRasmussen.com in 2008. One from each of 3 continents of the world. Tough assignment, I know! But someone has to do it…
2. Motivation: To share my motivation and insights with you. Hopefully, it rubs off. Maybe you can give me some in return. It’s called Universal Law.
3. Abundance: To show more abundance and gratitude in 2008 than I have in the previous 40 years of my life.
4. Charity: To donate more to charity than I have ever dreamt of (prior to acquiring an abundant mindset)

Abundance: When Others Zig, I Zag

Whilst in Fiji, I noticed the abundance of happiness amongst the natives. The stress levels seem very low. Yet the lack of money is very apparent. It appears to be the other way around in many countries.

So why do so many people live an average life, while so few have an abundant life? Could it be that the decisions of the “majority” is the recipe for an average life? I’ve changed my thinking to that of the “Minority”. Because it’s the very few that think abundant that have outstanding results, hence they have abundance in their lives.

My results are rolling in now and I have enough to give away to the ones that need more. I learned to Zig when others Zagged. I started to travel the road less travelled. The road to success. And the road to success lies within.

The Malolo Island Bula Band – World First On YouTube

Have a look at this. Meet my friends from Malolo Island: Iliesa on lead guitar, Tevita on drums and Viliame on rhythm guitar. They are The Malolo Island Bula Band playing “Stuck On You” by Lionel Ritchie.

These guys know success. To them it is not monetary. Many Fijians work for the cost of a few cocktails in a 5 star resort, every day. Yet they are happy! They have abundance. Fijians can teach us many things about happiness. Stress is literally unknown to them.

These guys are as honest as the day is long. Bless them all. I filmed them and am sending DVD’s back to the Malolo village so they can all watch The Malolo Island Bula Band in action. There’s more to come. I’m very grateful for meeting them. They are excited to be on YouTube. Some things that others take for granted are a gift from heaven to others.

Sota tale (Fijian for: See you soon). Bula!

When you took physics class, you learned that the laws of inertia stated that things in motion are bound to stay in motion and those things at rest will stay at rest – unless acted upon by an outside force. You can apply these concepts to your life right now, even if you didn’t do so well in physics class. Too often, we can become stuck in our own excuses and emotions. We would rather go nowhere instead of potentially heading into a situation where we aren’t sure if we can succeed. We stay in the same situation year after year, wanting to get out, but the more we stay at rest, the more likely we are to never move.

Most People Are Afraid Of Change

If change scares you, that’s okay. Most people are afraid of change because it represents the unknown in our lives. We don’t know anything more than what we’ve already experienced, so when we realize we need to change what we know, we hesitate. Instead of staying in this locked position, perhaps it’s time to try something new – baby steps.

When you have something big that you want to change, write this down in the middle of a piece of paper. Then, start thinking about small steps that you can break this bigger goal up into. These steps don’t have to take more than ten minutes, but they do need to help you with your goal. For example, if you want to write a screenplay, you might want to start by coming up with a title. That’s it. And the next day, you might want to write one page of the screenplay. These baby steps aren’t limitations, however, so if you feel inspired to do more, you can.

Find small steps you can take each day to get to your goal and you will always be moving toward what you really want, building up momentum to change your life.

Have a most outstanding day

Wow! I have had an average of over 2000 visitors per day for the last 4 days. The Mindset Mastery eBook about Self Improvement and Motivation has now been downloaded over 1200 times. On average 1 in every 20 people who visit, download the book. Hmm, that means that 95% are totally missing out on the Free Book. On the bright side, there’s one in every crowd (of 20) that have the opportunity to share some of The Most Powerful Strategies and Mindset Boosters I’ve encountered in my life.

If you want to share my knowledge and experiences, you can get the book by filling in the form on the right hand sidebar. Your email will be respected. This mindset blog is 100% Non-Monetized. That means there is no selling, no ads, no way you can spend your money AND no way I will approach you about parting with any cash.

It’s About Helping Others Succeed

One of my mentors, Kurek Ashley, taught me this: “The best way to learn something, is to teach it“. I have experienced some success. I’m teaching others how to do the same. Now others are experiencing success. My results are catapulting upwards and it seems The More I Give, The More I Get

Kurek is an ex-Hollywood actor who is a student of Anthony Robbins himself (the absolute Guru of Self Improvement). Kurek Ashley acted alongside actors like John Travolta, Chuck Norris and Sylvester Stallone. It was Kurek, along others, that motivated me to make this book available as a Free online download. I’m hoping it will encourage some personal growth for those who want it.

Thanks Guys! Don’t forget to give me some feedback about the eBook in the comments section. Remember, every time you post a comment, you help someone else by getting an answer to a question they will benefit from.

Have a Most Outstanding day (I borrowed that one from Kurek)
