I stumbled upon an inspiring thought written in a free ebook that I got from a subscriber site. It says that every successful person puts a BIG part of their success down to their ability to visualize their success BEFORE it happens.

I think this is a very interesting and inspiring thought. So, what does the “….their ability to visualize their success before it happens….” statement actually mean?

Well, to put it simply, the inspiring statement means that we have to dwell on the end result. Of course, dwelling on the end result alone is not enough. You still have to take action to make things happen. By taking action will put you in a completely different ballpark when you are fully confident of the result.

But the question is : “How do you do to dwell confidently on the end result?”.

There are a few possible ways to do it :

• To create such a strong, clear vision, you need only release your abundant imagination
• To make a vision so powerful that when you finally accomplish your goal, you have a sense of déjà vu – “haven’t I experienced this before?” 

Thus, the “thinking from the end” kind of attitude will make you behave differently as if you want to create is already here. This is the “Law of Attraction“. Imagine yourself to be and you shall be.

I bought a poem book in California in 1994. This book was written by the popular poet called Maya Angelou. I took it out from my book shelf when I was referring it to write my Blog post on the topic of poem on 19 May (just last Thursday). I notice that this book has turned yellowish now. 

I received an email sent by my friend, the GFF, three days ago. This email is mentioning about Maya Angelou was interviewed by the famous talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, on her 70+ birthday. 

I think it is either a coincident or an effect of the “Law of Attraction“. Anyway, I would like to thank my friend for sharing this email with me.

Picture of Maya Angelou :

Maya Angelou said this :

 ‘I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.’ 

‘I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.’ 

‘I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.’ 

‘I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life.’ 

‘I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.’ 

‘I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.’ 

‘I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.’ 

‘I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.’ 

‘I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.’ 

‘I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.’ 

‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ 

I find what Maya Angelou has said are very inspiring and meaningful. I believe it has inspired us to see things in a different perspective and re-look the way we live our lives.

Here is an inspirational story about a young man named Patrick Henry Hughes who was born blind and without limbs. He’s fitted with artificial eyes and placed in wheelchair since childhood. 

In spite of his disabilities, Patrick Henry Hughes plays the piano beautifully as well as “marches” in the Louisville marching band. 

You might wonder how he manage to do that. Well, his father named Patrick John Hughes is his guiding angel who pushes him around in the wheelchair for him to march across the field and perform in the band at the University of Louisville.

Disabilities are in fact Abilities.

I had written a Blog post about Nick Vujicic in October 2008. He is a man who has no arms and no legs but this doesn’t defeat him by giving up hope in life.

There is a new video entitled “Get Back Up” showing how Nick Vujicic has shared his inspirational story with a group of students in a school.

Inside the video, Nick Vujicic says :

I love living life and I am happy.

Along the way you might fall down like this. What do you do when you fall down? Get back up! Everybody knows to get back up because if you start walking, you are not going to get anywhere.

But I’m going to tell you some times in life, when you fall down, you feel like you don’t have the strength to get back up.

 Do you think you have hope? 

If I fail I try again and again and again……..

But I want you to know this is not the end. It matters how you are going to finish. Are you going to finish strong? You will find the strength to get back up. 

How inspiring and motivating?! Isn’t it?

Nick Vujicic will inspire you and uplift you in this video. Watch it now :

My sister had forwarded an interesting email to me a few days ago. The email is talking about a jobless man who was applying for an “office boy” job in a famous software company.

He was initially accepted by the HR manager who then asked the jobless man to give him his email address and he will send him the application form to fill in as well as to notify him the date to start work.

The jobless man told the HR manager that he didn’t have an email address. Guess what? The HR manager immediately declined to offer him the “office boy” job. Reason being that a person who doesn’t have an email account means that this person doesn’t exist.

This sounds so cruel to have been rejected a job offer just because the jobless man didn’t have an email account. What I can say is that : “This is life!”. 

On the other hand, if I were the HR manager, I will also find it hard to believe that anybody applying for an office job does not have an email account especially when we are living in a world that utilises computers and Internet as our communication intensively.

We rely on information technology and Internet is a part of our everyday life. It is a hard cold fact that a PC-illiterate may lag behind the society for not knowing how to use a computer and not having an email account.

However, I’m not trying to say that this is the end of the world if a person doesn’t have an email account. Sometimes, going against the flow may end up hitting the jackpot somehow. 

Read the inspiring “tomato story” below and it may change your way of thinking.  

Hope you enjoy reading the “tomato story” and get inspired. For me, I will choose to keep the email account even if I plan to sell tomatoes 🙂

The first time that I came across this true motivational story of Nick Vujicic was during Adam Khoo’s Wealth Academy course that I joined in November 2007. It was a 3.5-day course and Adam Khoo told us about the real life story of Nick Vujicic who was born without arms and without legs. The doctors have no medical explanation for this kind of birth ‘defect’ so far. 

This is the picture of Nick Vujicic with his pet dog :

By looking at the picture, we can imagine the numerous challenges and obstacles that Nick Vujicic has been facing along the path of his life journey. He is the firstborn son of his parents who were not prepared for it. The doctors were shocked and there is still no medical reason why this had happened. Nick Vujicic’s brother and sister were born just like any other baby.

The birth defect didn’t stop Nick Vujicic from achieving the goals that he has set for himself. He has completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting.

Nick Vujicic is a motivational speaker who loves to go out and shares his story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. He has developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today’s teenagers. Besides having a passion for reaching out to youth, Nick Vujicic is also a speaker in the corporate sector. 

One of Nick Vujicic’s dreams is to write several best-selling books. The title of his very first book will be called ‘No Arms, No Legs, and No Worries!‘

Nick Vujicic believes that if one has the desire and passion to do something, one will achieve it in good time. Now, maybe we shall sit back and think of our goals and dreams which we have always targeted in our lives.

Here goes the saying :

 Nothing is impossible!

So, whenever we feel life is tough or a particular task is very hard, we shall read Nick Vujicic’s real-life story again and think calmly to search for a new way to solve the problem.

I received an email that tells me about an inspirational story about a paralysed man a few days ago. Inside the email, it shot me with a few questions that keeps me thinking about it for quite a while. Here it goes :

1) Have you ever felt sorry for yourself?  
2) Needed a shot of encouragement?

Yes, I have and I also need some encouragement to pull me through some difficult moments.

So, what’s next? I was wondering then. I read on to find out what the message was trying to bring across. Well, it was talking about an incredible man who tells his story.

This man is called Ron Heagy who is paralysed from the neck down. He tells his story of achievement and overcoming adversity. Ron Heagy is a mouth artist, speaker, author and activist. Inside the video clip, you’ll see how Ron uses his mouth to hold a brush to paint a drawing. 

Ron Heagy’s determination blesses thousands of people beyond our imagination. His inspirational story makes people realised that our lives are so blessed.

If you need a …
 *  Word of encouragement…
 *  Daily dose of inspiration…
 *  A motivational nudge…
 *  Or maybe you need someone to help you cancel YOUR pity party…

Go and watch the video clip about Ron Heagy now. Get Inspired and Never Give Up!
