WRITING: WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN…

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, ‘ This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received. ‘

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, ‘ This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them. ‘ I noticed again how busy it was there.. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing ‘nothing. ‘ This is the Acknowledgment Section, ‘ my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed ‘ How is it that there is no work going on here? ‘ I asked.

‘So sad, ‘ the angel sighed. ‘ After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments. ‘

‘How does one acknowledge God ‘ s blessings? ‘ I asked…

‘Simple, ‘ the angel answered. Just say, ‘ Thank you, Lord. ‘

‘What blessings should they acknowledge? ‘ I asked.

‘If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world ‘ s wealthy. ‘

‘And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.. ‘

‘If you woke up this morning with more health than illness … You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day ‘

‘If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation … You are ahead of 700 million people in the world. ‘

‘If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world. ‘

‘If your parents are still alive and still married ..you are very rare.’

‘If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you ‘ re unique to all those in doubt and despair….. ‘

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are .

Below is a very simple road to happiness written by an unknown author many, many years ago. The years have flown, the centuries have turned, times have change and technology has transformed the world, yet the road to real happiness remains unchanged.

Spend some time this week reflecting on where you are on the road to happiness and areas you might want to improve as you read …

The Road to Happiness:

Keep skid-chains on your tongue; always say less than you think. Cultivate a low, persuasive voice. How you say it often counts far more than what you say.

Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully, no matter what it costs you.

Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging thing to or about somebody. Praise good work done, regardless of who did it. If criticism is merited, criticize helpfully and never spitefully.

Be interested in others: interested in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes, and families. Make merry with those who rejoice and mourn with those who weep. Let everyone you meet, however humble, feel that you regard them as a person of importance.

Be cheerful. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Hide your pains, worries, and disappointments under a pleasant smile. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them.

Preserve an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but don’t argue. It is the mark of a superior mind to disagree and yet be friendly.

Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves, and refuse to talk of another’s vices. Discourage gossip. Make it a point to say nothing to another unless it is something good.

Be careful of other’s feelings. Wit at the other fellow’s expense is rarely worth the effort and may hurt where least expected.

Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Simply live so that nobody will believe them.

Don’t be too anxious about getting your just dues. Do you work, be patient, keep your disposition sweet, forget self, and you will be respected and rewarded!

Last week we have discovered the four seasons and how they fit together with the main characteristics of our personalities: some of us are life artists and act like spring, always thrilled by new things, always taking many new blossoms to discover.

Others of us are like winter time, rather calm and very family and friend oriented, very helpful and mission fulfilling.

Most of us have one main season that we reflect in our characters, some elements of the three other seasons for sure come out on different occasions as well.

Today I want to help those of you who are not yet sure about which season reflects the best. A short multiple choice test which should guide you towards your season or simply confirm what you already guess it is.

Take a few minutes and enjoy:

To your success

Your Kasia G.

ready for the final spurt to discover which type of person you are? Is your personality more a winter time type or a sparkling spring time character?

Let us first discover the last, the spring which we call the “Life Artist”. The life artist is full of energy, see opportunities and possibilities all over; is attracted by everything; curious to discover all things and all people that he or she encounters. The life artist is difficult to hold back and is always keen to start new adventures, never gets enough of them.

It is like spring, flowers blossom all over, people come out of their houses, the world seems to start moving faster after long winter months.

The life artist just needs to learn to let go at a certain point. As spring allows blossoms to become flowers and fruits and change into summer, the life artist needs to understand that too many things at the same time not necessarily are for his or her best. Actually, usually they get stressed by overwhelming themselves with too many new adventures and taking on new ones without having accomplished or finalized the previous ones.

If you are a life artist people often will admire you for your strength and energy; some will envy you for it. It is wonderful walking through life in such a motivated manner. Just be careful not to stress yourself with too many projects as you risk to feel bad and also to become and seem superficial. Use some meditation techniques and take even just a few minutes a day to calm down and reflect a bit.

Give it a thought and I will be back next week with a short multiple choice test to help you identifying which season reflects your personality and how to make best use of the natural seasons’ power behind it! For sure, we all have parts of all four types reflected in our personalities. It is also quite common to have a business/work life personality which is quite different from the personality type that comes out in private time. Still, one main type is the power behind all our doing and action. Get to know yourself better, listen to your inner self, discover yourself and use the power of the seasons for additional energy to drive your days!

To your success

Your Kasia G.

here I am back for you with some more insight about the four seasons and how we can profit positively in our lives from this natural source of energy.

Did you already think about which type of person you are? Do you feel your personality reflected in winter time or in autumn? In spring or in summer?

Remember, we were saying that winter is the time of reflection and nest building; spring is the energy burst itself; summer is lightness and fast flow; autumn is joy towards achievement and rest.

You have read about the “workaholic” in the past post. Today let us take a closer look at “the friend” and at “the perfectionist”.

Being a “friend” you always feel the urge to help and you do not feel well nor able to relax until you have not helped all people in your “radar”. This is a very positive attitude and helping others is always a very gratifying job. Still, there is a huge BUT to it: you need not forget about yourself!

Learn saying NO. It is like the sun that warms us (not only) in summer … but sometimes says NO and then we find some clouds on the sky … “oh no”, many people might think. We need the sun, to warm the water to grow the plants, to get a sun tan, whatever it is … But just think about it: too much sun means dry flowers and burned skin … and it is the same with you: the more you give the more people expect. The more you give the less they will say “thank you”  and will forget soon how to appreciate all your help; it will become “normal” to them.

Helping is wonderful and very gratifying, as already mentioned above. Just start testing the incremental gratitude that one simple NO can bring to you; how much time for you to relax a single NO may mean, give it just a though, how much energy a single NO can keep within you!

“The Perfectionist”: huge discipline, focus and determination guide you. Well, no doubt that you are a “perfectionist”. Autumn eventually reflects best what the perfectionist looks like. Tearing off old clothes, getting ready for a new start, a next step, whenever it is needed. Obligations and work come in before joy and fun. You never miss out on a date, on a birthday or a meeting.

The perfectionist could be a vivid and walking “Outlook Calendar”. Sports and family are those who lose out most on this as your wish and thrive for perfection is so big that you hardly allow yourself any time out; time to have fun and to reflect; time to be creative and have fun. Easiness and a bright spirit can give you this ultimate energy boost to make you a smiling perfectionist and allow yourself to not only function perfectly but to live … I know this is a difficult process; I have been through it, but it works

Last but not least, the next post, the third one of this short series here on fighting burn-out and enjoying life, will be about the “Life Artist”. So make sure you check back soon and get inspired by nature for a better life!

Have a fantastic day

Your Kasia G.

isn’t it great?! March 1st, spring is coming soon, days get longer, first flowers spread out. This is energy, positive energy that nature uses getting out after all the long and cold winter months – in the northern hemisphere right now.

Look at this natural energy. Isn’t it contagious on your mind and spirit? It for sure is on mine!

Psychologists all around the world ring the alarm bells that there are more and more people affected by burn-out. The good news is that in most cases we can fight it with our own tools; tools that nature has given us and inspires us through the seasons on how to using them:

• Winter is the time of reflection and nest building;
• Spring is the energy burst itself;
• Summer is lightness and fast flow;
• Autumn is joy towards achievement and rest.

How does this reflect in our personalities? How can you make best use of it?

Well, first of all you need to better understand what type of person you are – as a complete burn-out situation for your neighbor might mean excitement and power for you.

So let us analyze this first. Let us divide all humans into 4 main types:

• The Workaholic
• The Friend
• The Perfectionist
• The “Life Artist”

The Workaholic needs work to feel stimulated and mostly will search also extreme activities as mountain biking and extreme sports in his or her free time. Trying to enjoy all achievements, be it the perfect job completion or the highest mountain you reach. Listen to your inner self. Give yourself more time to enjoy and share this joy with others. Inspire them and get additional energy from their feedback and admiration. This is the best to fight burn-out for the workaholic. And some very quiet hours, at least once a quarter – even if you need to force yourself to do so. Mark them like an appointment in your calendar; read a book, go to the SPA, sit on your sofa and watch TV. Allow yourself to NOT functioning at 150% for 365 days a year!

Well, that’s it for today, more about the other three types of people in the blog posts coming later this week. Watch out for them!

Well, but what is hidden behind it? Can you really “program your mind” to get Wealth, Success and Fortune into your life?

The short answer is YES. . .  but there’s something else too …

In studying the brain and specific brainwave patterns, scientists have discovered that you can literally take on the exact same brain patterns as the “super rich”… “super successful”… “super happy”… and “super creative” people. … And it takes NO EFFORT whatsoever! They have created a very powerful CD compilation where they literally help YOU program your mind for MASSIVE Success and much more!

Honestly, I was pretty shocked to see these CDs, when I first came across the MaxxiMind set …

Was it humbug? Was it true? Should I believe in it? A CD for less stress? A CD to think like a Millionaire? A CD to Relax?

Well, I decided to simply try … being sure in the back of my mind that it would for sure NOT work ….

…. BUT …..

I had an astonishing experience …. I had got a “Secret Weapon” to becoming super-charged! For me MaxxiMind is my “steady companion” since 2 years in the row now, and today, getting ready for a fantastic and successfull year 2010, I for sure wanted to suggest you this ingredient of my success recipe to add to your success story 2010!

This here is not meant to be a sales letter or so, I just wanted to make sure that you had a chance to check out this wonderful tool for free … and have your personal experience.

We all know that there’s two parts to the equation to success: One part is business (with products, services and tools), the other part is mind.  Experience the transformational power of MaxxiMind AudiNeuro™ technology for yourself, first-hand…and watch the changes occur from the inside out. This is where the magic happens.

There is no better time than right now to embrace this powerful tool that will transform your life.

To your success,

Your Kasia G.

P.S. It’s really powerful and unlike anything else you’ve seen. . . MaxxiMind

Did you have a great start into this new year 2010? Did you have some time to relax and enjoy over the past holiday season? Are you ready and full of energy for a successful year? Most important of all:

DO YOU HAVE YOUR GOAL SET FOR 2010?

Having a clearly defined and specific goal, one main key goal for the year is what will bring you success! What is it that really matters to you? What is it that you really want?

Yes, I know, we all have several goals we plan to achieve; and we eventually will. But working really successfully means concentrating on ONE MAJOR GOAL to achieve! Once you have done so you are already 80% ahead of most others, on your way to success.

Let me tell you a short story – just to prove you that it works:

“…..having a goal is another key without which nothing will happen.
I just understood this along the way.

The first year I met you I wrote down a goal of earning 15k by the month of December 2008 – and I did … but only in December 2008. I have been specific … but not completely … as I should have mentioned that I wanted it each month and not only in that particular one … still, it was fascinating how I got this money

In 2009 I had many goals … too many … and now that 2009 is over I just can say: my main goal, which was having more time with my boys – came through and became true!

Now for 2010 I have ONE GOAL as I now have experienced that it works and how it works! ….”

DEFINE YOUR ONE BIG GOAL FOR 2010 and if you wish so, share it with me, I’d love to hear it! If you want to know mine, just ask me

I will be back soon with more motivational and information messages for you!

To your success

Your Kasia G.

here I am back with a few questions and some more considerations, with one main goal in mind: helping you finding your way to the life you wish and desire!

1. What is most important to me in life?
2. What do I want to achieve in life?
3. What is my biggest fear?
4. What is good in my life as it is now?
5. What can I do now to move closer to my ultimate goal?
6. What could “love” do now for me?
7. What could I do now for others? How could I Help or serve?
8. What should I be grateful for?

After having answered the above questions – and take your time for doing so – life and act focused towards your ultimate goals and dreams … and the 8 Ps will help you on your way!

Plan purposefully.
Prepare prayerfully.
Proceed positively.
Pursue persistently.

And among all NEVER forget faith and gratitude as they are an additional and very powerful source of success.

To your success and with all my very best wishes

Your Kasia G.

PS: … in case you missed it – you are still in time for a life changing coaching session with me personally, completely free of charge!

I hope you have spent a gorgeous Christmas with your families and beloved! Mine was bright and full of love and joy, with those huge eyes only children have, when they live the magic of Christmas.

Now we are just 4 days apart before starting the next celebrations. The celebrations for the New Year 2010 to come. Again we will be sitting with families and friends, eating and having fun, celebrating and enjoying “some time off from “normal life”".

This time of the year is a very intense time, full with people we encounter, full with festivities and joy we share. But not only, it is or at least should also be a time to reflect, reflect about all the blessings we have had throughout the past year. We should be proud of all our achievements, even if those were just first hazardous little steps. We have to see what has not gone as well as we had hope for and clear the way for the New Year to be an even better one.

Now I want to share with you what my first personal development teacher and coach told me already the very first time we spoke and repeated on each occasion we had to meet or speak:

“BE – THINK – SPEAK – ACT” – this is the powerful 4 step formula for creating your life hte way you want it to be. I liked the concept from the very beginning … but did not really believe in it. How could I start having a better life by simply thinking about it … BUT my wish for change was that strong that I tried it … thinking in the back of my mind “if it doesn’t help, at least it won’t harm …”

BUT , YES it works, it did and it does!

I have applied “Your thoughts create your life“; I have applied the 4 steps to success and now want to share them with you; still in time for starting off into a New Year 2010, even stronger and better prepared as you might be now.

1. Allow yourself to BE happy and wealthy. Eliminate all negative thoughts and BUTs in your mind. I know it is not any easy exercise and I know it won’t happen within a day or two. But it works.

Use positive affirmations to help you: I am happy; I am ready for success; I have a great future; I am blessed; etc. I also do use some positivity statements every single day … learned from Lisa and some other mental trainers – ask me and I’ll share those with you as well!

2. THINK – this is going even a step further , allowing and believing in it. Thinking about your life the way you want it to be. But do not imagine it in 10 or 20 years, imagine it now. As we live TODAY and only NOW is what we can influence, as yesterday has passed and tomorrow will be …

3. SPEAK about it. Tell people about your dreams, ignore if they ask you how. Just tell them that you have the strong feeling that it will be in a certain way. Just giving you a simple example here: if you go window shopping with a friend and see a beautiful designer bag which you have always desired, just say something like “Oh, here’s my bad, I will get it for my birthday …”Don’t worry about the HOW, just have faith that it really will happen, and it will. I have experienced it. You have just to think about it every day, be focused and determined on your way.

4. ACT AS IF you were already among those people you admire most and who are the way you would like to be. Go to a museum or shopping mall where you can be among those people. Dress up nicely and feel well. Smell the air around them and think yourself into being one of them. Dreams are powerful and essential.  They are further energy to our ultimate goal.

I know that all this might seems quite weird to you, especially if you have never been exposed to these kind of thoughts or theories. And I can understand this very well, as I have been there only a couple of years ago. But now, that I have learned applying those techniques, actually these 4 little steps, I apply them successfully in each and every area of my life – and they WORK!

If you are interested in more details or want to have a chance and get some more hints for your personal application for those 4 steps, PLEASE feel free to drop me a note and MY PRESENT FOR YOU is a half an hour personal coaching session with me personally on how YOU can apply those 4 steps for your personal success. No hidden selling behind, no fee , just my time for YOU as I was lucky to receiving this great formula and have successfully applied it (I pad over $8.000 for being at my first event with Lisa and it was worth each single cent). NOW I want to share my luck with YOU, if ever you wish so – completely FREE of charge.

Due to the holiday season and many people being off and eventually not seeing this post in time, but I believe that it really is or at least can be life changing. So I have decided that this offer is valid for all applications received till January 6th 2010. All coaching calls to happen in the week starting January 11th 2010.

Feel gratitude for all you have. Don’t take anything for granted, nor health, nor wealth, nor love nor friendship. Have faith and be focused, as with this in mind you will be ready for all the challenges of the New Year.

Have a fantastic day

Your Kasia G.
