Human beings tend to believe that once peace is achieved, we will experience joy. And it is certainly true that joy and peace go together. But achieving peace prior to achieving joy is not the natural sequence of events. Joy comes first! Peace is a natural byproduct of joy.
How many times have you felt like starting up a fight when you were deeply, completely blissful? How many times have you heard of someone beating his wife when he was authentically joyful? How many wars are started because everyone is ecstatic? It doesn’t happen! Those who are joyful have no interest in being destructive or disruptivedestruction and disruption are of a frequency completely incompatible with joy. In fact, they belong to disparate reality states.
You see, turmoil, or lack of peace, is a function of dwelling in the duality matrix, the realm of good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark, up and down, and all manner of polarities, or forces in conflict. Turmoil is a byproduct of judgment, and judgment is the tool that human egos use to keep us operating in duality. Joy, however, is a beacon calling us to transcend ego by eschewing judgment and leaving the duality matrix behind and returning to Oneness, the reality matrix in which we were designed to thrive.
In Oneness, there is no turmoil or conflictit’s impossible to have conflict when there’s only one force! Joy is your emotional response to being at higher frequency, in the realm of Oneness and wholeness, the vibrational home base for humanity. When you are experiencing joy, you are in the realm of no conflict. Peace is a result of being in the realm of no conflict. Joy lights the way to peace.
Another way of knowing that peace is not the path to joy, but vice versa, is that peace is not really all that much of a carrot. Surewe say we long for peace, but how juicy is the thought of peace, really? Be honest with yourselfunless you are in a war-torn country and your life feels perpetually threatened, the desire for peace is far less an incentive for you than the desire for joy. While we have been taught that it is righteous to say we want “world peace,” what we really long for is the heart-leaping-up, Light-filled state of joy.
And there is nothing ignoble about that. It’s natural! It’s a part of your design to seek joy. Joy is the incentive that the Creator installed within us so that we would always long for and seek Home, the higher frequencies at which we were designed to thrive. Joy is not just the destination, it’s the path. When you seek joy on purpose, and make being joyful your intention in life, you will find not only find that your joy quotient increases, your life will be less and less tumultuous as you spend more of your experience above the duality matrix. In other words, as your joy increases, so does your experience of peace.
The pursuit of joy is the most magnanimous gift you can give the planet! Not only will you spread joy in your own daily interactions, you will raise the joy quotient of all of humanity. Only when enough individuals are experiencing true joy on a consistent basis will a critical mass be reached so that operating at the frequency of joy is not only possible for all, it will be the dominant reality. When enough of us are operating at the frequency of joy, in the realm of Oneness, above the frequency where turmoil manifests, a tipping point will be reached, and joy will prevail. Then, and only then, will the world be at peace. World peace, indeed, depends on your joy.

Imagine for a moment that you are a champion. You are the best in your town . No, you are the best in your country. How does that make you feel? Good yeah? You are a champion. What are you the champion of? What is your major strength? Are you a good leader? A good strategist. A great tactician. A team builder perhaps. A great listener. Perhaps you have the ability to develop and grow the skills of others. Whatever it is, you have the talent to become a champion. All you need to do is to understand what it is that makes a champion. In this article we are going to introduce you to a new awareness. We are going to open up your mind to the invisible world of what makes a champion.
Personally, we think there are four major criteria that make a champion. You probably know what they are: Talent, courage, tenacity and mind set. You have each of them but do you use them?
Guess what! You have the talent to become a champion. But first it is a case of identifying what your talent is. It is easy if you have a talent for running, swimming, cycling, football or any sporting talent but we are talking of a talent that is not readily identifiable but can make you into a champion.
.
Stop for a moment. We want you to take a little time and think about your own talents and qualities. Just let your mind roll back and list all your achievements. All the things never mind how big or small that YOU consider to be an achievement in your life.
Now review your list. Can you see a pattern?
Listen to yourself…… What do you feel is important to you. Be honest.
What are you good at?
What do you like doing?
Are YOU competitive?
Does your pattern and your inside voice show you, you get your kicks from helping others; being useful to society or does money motivate you?
Now you are sure you have talent. Perhaps there is a natural energy about you. A way in which others naturally listen to what you have to say. Perhaps it is an ability to make others follow you. Perhaps you are naturally persistent. You find others naturally do what you suggested. Perhaps you have natural courage. Perhaps it is a talent that is easily recognisable like painting, drawing, playing football or whatever.
Whatever it is you are now able to identify your key core skills, your talents. The skills that you use when you are functioning at your full potential.
But there is a long road between identifying your talents and being a champion. If you want to be a champion you need to harness other talents. Those that have been on idle or haven’t been used at all because you are totally preoccupied with a certain way of living. Those that have, for whatever reason, been pushed into the background and forgotten. In our experience, people often sabotage their own efforts. They are aware they have special skills, abilities and qualities but they keep them turned off most of the time. They go through life only make effort when they want to make effort. Then and only then do they fully utilise their hidden talents. At that time, and that time only, are they at their most alert.
Think for a moment and list your hidden, natural talents that you know exist but are not being fully used.
The point is now you have written down and accepted both your hidden and surface skills, abilities and qualities do you have the courage to use them to reach your full potential.
Do you have the courage to succeed?
Do you have the courage to accept that there is a different life out there for you? A life where you are a champion. A person who lives or wants to live to their full potential.
Do you have the courage to go against the ‘natural’ flow dictated by others? To overcome the dream stealers with their pronouncements of gloom. For example: “you can’t make money out of that”. “You are not good enough”. “Do you know how many people have tried to make a living doing that?” Etc etc etc. All destined to stop you from fulfilling your potential.
If you want to reach your potential. If you want to succeed. You have to have courage. The courage to focus on your skills, abilities, qualities, talents and stay with them and work out how you can best live a full life rather than one you feel you ought to live in order to keep others happy and make a living.
Now you have identified all your attributes and have the courage to move forward do you have the tenacity to be a champion?.
Do you have the determination to keep going when all appears to be against you?
Can you dig deep and keep focussed on your dream when others are putting you down? Tenacity means the ability to keep focussed on your dream.
To be determined to improve your skills, talent and abilities day in day out.
To Practice. For example: A musician has a talent, skills and abilities but is useless without daily practice. Do you have the tenacity, the determination to practice your skills daily? If you are a writer do you write every day? If you are a salesperson do you practice your product knowledge everyday? Are you totally aware of your competitors product? Are you aware of the most likely questions a potential customer is likely to ask? Do you talk to someone everyday about you product? If you are a web designer do you practice every day? Are you a member of numerous forums to hone your skills?
Whatever your skill is, whatever your talent is, do you practice it every day. Do you constantly search the web and other periodicals for information about your skills and abilities to make you better than everyone else? Or are you satisfied with your level of skill? Are you driven to be a champion or do you accept second, third, fourth….place?
What is your mindset? What are the thoughts that run your life? Are they negative or positive? Do you tell yourself that providing you scrape by all is well? If only I can earn $20,000 dollars a year I will be OK. Or do you tell yourself to use your abilities, skills and qualities to the full each and every day? Whatever motivates you; money, prestige, social conscience, whatever, look at your mindset? Do you have the thoughts of a champion or the thoughts of a competitor?.
So what makes champions? Talent, Courage, Tenacity and Mindset. The ability to constantly make an effort. The ability to work at what you want. The ability to believe in yourself. The ability to keep going when others have thrown in the towel. The ability to realise that you can achieve your dream. The ability to keep focussed. Talent and mental strength. The willingness to keep practicing, keep developing your talent irrespective of what others say. You have the ability. You have the talent. All you have to do is believe in yourself.
What makes a champion? The invisible world of Talent, Courage, Tenacity and Mindset. This is what makes a champion.
Good Luck

Throughout my dealings with women from all over the world, I have met so many that are in a prison of pain and frustration. Through my website, they search desperately for a way out of this prison. They want so desperately to be heard.
Her Cries for help are genuine.She is not inventing her worries, nor is she so bored with her life that she is imagining things and creating her own miseries.
Her Cries for help are misinterpreted as nonsensical emotions. They are even viewed as insecurities. Some even become very defensive towards, “Her Cries for Help”, and take it as a personal attack of mistrust.
Her Cries for Help, are not without reason. How can anyone actually believe that a person would deliberately cause so much upheaval in a love relationship over and over again? Who has the issues there? I have to wonder sometimes, exactly who is being deliberate?
These women are in constant conflict with uncontrollable emotions. They not only have to try to disconnect from their own person within, but they have to try to interpret them to an outsider and can only hope that person can hear, “Her Cries for Help”, through her words.
These women are in need of an understanding that it is not them. This ugly reaction is a serious attempt to reach out to you for help. When something occurs time and time again, do you not start to wonder if maybe there is something more to her reaction than just what’s on the surface? Surely a person that claims to love, cherish, and endure all negative and positive would know that the love of their life is in some kind of turmoil that she cannot escape. So then why do you assume everything from PMS, to mistrust? Is it not so obvious that she is not willingly hurting your relationship? Is it not obvious that she is in a hold of some kind that is controlling her? Can you not see how much, seeing you in confusion is tearing her apart piece by piece? Do you not think that she knows her reactions are causing a wall separating your ability to reach out to her?
Pretend for one moment that you are gagged and hand tied and someone else is speaking and acting for you. You can see them and you can hear what they are saying, but cannot do anything about it. You can see your loved one suffering from the intruders acts. Your guts are wrenching because you are in fact unable to stop it. This is maybe a little bit of what she feels like when her emotions entrap and imprison her and cause her to react in ways that boggle your mind.
Her love for you was in fact the trigger. Her love for you helped to lower her defenses and allowed this monster of negative emotions to creep in. Now she battles with it and fears what she cannot control. Her mind works over-time building defense walls to keep out this intruder that is so strong-willed and controlling. Her Cries for Help continue; for that is her only way of escaping this torment that in fact both of you are tangled up in. She searches for ways to rid herself of this horrible trap that she has somehow fallen into. She will never stop trying as long as she knows you will be there and that you know in your heart that it is not her deliberately sabotaging your love relationship. Your love and understanding is her strength. It is the ultimate weapon to fight and win this battle of imprisonment.

One of the main reason why someone will become very unhappy because he/she sees no sign of progress in his/her life because he/she decides to stop growing and learning.
Most people would rather spend most of their money to buy clothes, food, perfume, cars and toys rather than buying educational CDs, books, and videos that will give them wisdom and understanding that will help them to bring more success in their life.
It is wrong to think that learning process ends when you finish college or high school, because learning process must continue until the day we die.
When you see someoen who is very uphappy and depressed because he/she has no clear direction of where to go next in his/her life, he or she has no goal, he or she has no hope for a better future and if h or /she continues the attitude of laziness, his or her life will get worse instead of better.
An employee can get promoted in the business where he/she works because he/she is willing to improve his/her self and to get more skills and knowledge. The unhappy employees are lazy, resentful and they complain too much instead of trying to improve their work performance through learning, studying and growing.
A struggling business owner can improve his/her own business by learning more on how to improve and make their business more successful instead of sitting around doing nothing or complaining. Sitting around and day dreaming will bring no change or improvement!
King Solomon says in the book of Proverb, when you are lazy and you love sleep more than work, poverty will come to your life. You will be poor and unhappy when you are lazy and refuse to invest knowledge and information into your mind.
So the secret of your success is your willingness to invest wisdom, knowledge and understanding into your mind! Also, your willingness to sow your skills and knowledge to bring solutions.
Can you imagine if you get into an accident today, injure your head and your ability to write, speak and read is gone from your brain? I don’t think, you can keep your present job if you no longer can read, write and speak.
I encourage you to invest as much knowledge, wisdom and information into your mind while your mind and brain are still functioning. Remember, the pain of discipline is temporary and the pain of regret is enternal.
