THE TOP TEN STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL LIFE
Author: Lynn A. Robinson, M.Ed.

1. MAKE YOUR INTUITION YOUR ALLY
How does your intuition speak to you? Do you receive information in words, feelings, a body sensation? Do you just know? Ask your intuition questions and pay attention to the answers and act on the information you receive.

2. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY
The experience of joy is one of God's ways of speaking to us through our intuition. What makes you excited, happy, delighted? What do you look forward to each day? Do more of it!

3. BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR GOALS
We are often quite clear about what we don't want. Spend time thinking about what you do want. What does your ideal life look like?

4. SPEND TIME IN PRAYER AND MEDITATION
Answers often come to life's questions through self-reflection. Prayer and meditation are two ways we have of slowing down enough to listen to the still quiet voice of our Higher Self.

5. CREATE POSITIVE SELF TALK
Pay attention to what you tell yourself about yourself and your life. If the general tone is hopeful and positive you generally feel better and more optimistic. It's easier to create a life you love when you give yourself affirmative messages.

6. UNDERSTAND YOUR BELIEFS
William James said, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."

7. TAKE ACTION
People often get stuck because they can't figure out how to get from Point A to Point Z. What is one thing you could do that would be a next step? Take a class, talk to a friend, read a book on a topic of interest, learn a new skill. Take action on what feels exciting to you.

8. LOOK FOR COINCIDENCES AND SYNCHRONICITIES
It has been said that coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous. We often have serendipity occurring in our lives as a way to show us we are on the right path.

9. KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE EBBS AND FLOWS
We often reach success through a series of ups and downs. When you are in a "down" place and feeling stuck, know that it doesn't usually last long. Find some ways to enjoy your life despite the lull and continue to focus on what you want.

10. ENVISION!
Spend time each day imagining your ideal life. Envision the details of that life. Imagine you are living it now. What are you wearing? What are you feeling? Who are the people around you? Make it real.
