# Are You a Survivor?
by: Jennifer Hoffman
I have a friend who is a recovered alcoholic and in every conversation she mentions how long she has been free of her addiction to alcohol. While I share in her joy of having overcome this issue, I wonder when she will stop seeing herself as a survivor and start defining herself in other ways. And if the memory of her addiction is so close to her, has she overcome it or does she live in fear that it will arise again and take control of her life? Is there life beyond surviving and how do we move from surviving into a new and different life path?
Anyone who survives some sort of trauma that affects them on a deep level knows that their life is defined as things that happened before and after the trauma occurred. These are life defining moments and they can become our focus because of their intensity. People who have survived serious accidents, illness or traumatic experiences are forever changed by them. They see themselves as survivors but in doing so they also label themselves in a way that makes the trauma the center of their life and keeps them in the energy of the past. What have they become since the trauma and what else became possible because of it?
We can identify with the survivor role considering what we have experienced in this lifetime, especially as we have been processing so many energy shifts and changes, done so much healing work and cleared lifetimes of karma. This has not been an easy journey and has been traumatic. But our survivor perspective carries an added burden because as survivors, we are acknowledging the toll the battle has taken on us. We are not survivors of the shift or the energy changes, we are willing and necessary participants in a paradigm shift that is changing the world.
For future generations, we will be known as the heroes of these times, those who sacrificed, prayed, stayed constant and overcame our most difficult experiences. They will not see us as survivors because they will not understand how difficult it has been-and to be a survivor you have to live the experience. But they will benefit from the legacy we have created for them. And as we are moving into our mastery, we need to be careful with the energy we are creating with our words. Labeling ourselves as 'survivors' keeps us in the energy of what we have overcome. We are heroes, those who have overcome, who have worked hard and completed what we have set out to do. It is our time to shine, to create new paths for ourselves and new paradigms for humanity. We can survive the past or we can overcome and thrive in the present and create a wonderful future.

# Facts of Helpless
Short Story:
"An experiment was carried out on a number of dogs by subjecting them to electric shocks while providing them with a switch that they can use to stop the electric current from flowing into their bodies. For a few of the test animals, the switch were disabled so as not to turn off even when pushed. After the experiment, some of the dogs who weren’t able to stop the electric current developed symptoms that are similar to clinical depression; or to put it in another way: these dogs learned how to be helpless."

After read the short story above, here are a few question to ask. Have we ever tried to notice how a small child tries over and over to do the same thing without getting bored? Have we ever met a person who can’t walk now because, as a kid, he gave up on trying to stand up and walk after a few unsuccessful tries? Of course not! Why don’t these kids stop trying and why do adults stop? Because through their life's experience, some adults tend to develop a new ability: the ability to feel helpless!! And it is so sorry to said that the ability to feel helpless is a strong ability to be failed.

# Self Motivation
Motivation is, as the word itself suggests, a motive for action. Motivation is, basically, the reasons for what you do. Knowing what to do and how to do it is an important part of leadership, but only two thirds of what makes any leader effective.
You can do the wrong things for the right reasons and the right things for the wrong reasons, but leaders do the right things for the right reasons.

# Like Eagle Facing Storm
Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?
The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.
The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
# Duck Lesson
Though life was difficult at times, the beautiful creature loved the boundless heavens and the endless stretches of wilderness. Soaring about treetops and towns, the duck symbolized to its tame counterparts, who could not fly, the epitome of freedom.
One evening during fall migration, he chanced to light in a barnyard where a farmer was feeding his ducks. The beautiful creature ate the corn the farmer sprinkled about and liked it so much that he stayed the night in a bed of warm straw. He ate the duck's corn again the next day. And the next. And the next....

# Value
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well...," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Moral:
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what other people see or thought bout you, no matter what has happened or what will happen. You have your own value. You will never lose it. You are special - Don't ever forget it!

# To Be A Champion
Have you ever wondered what successful people have that makes them successful?
Ever wonder how those champion recruiters in your company manage, month after month, to get the most new recruits, the biggest bonuses, the largest paychecks?
Well let see the secret. No one starts out as a Champion. Most of them started out like you and me.
So what is it that makes a Champion different from the rest?
Champions have an attitude, a mindset that sets them apart from the rest. But most of these qualities are not exceptional.
Indeed each and every one of us possesses these qualities when we start out in life. But somewhere along the way we tend to lose them and diminish our own potential.
To be a Champion, you must first become a Child!

# Quotes Collections
All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
Brian Tracy
Every human has four endowments- self-awareness, conscience,independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Stephen Covey
# Daily Success Habit
Here are a few of daily habits that have contributed to success:
Read, read, read! I could not begin to tell you how many personal development books, articles, blogs and sites that I have read. I love to keep up with the latest. Information being disseminated is prolific and the personal growth 'conversation' is growing exponentially.

# Ideas Without Action - Meaningless
Most folks would agree that ideas without action are of very little value. Ideas without reference or application cannot solve problems. We can make these statements all we want and we might even say that ideas or concepts that do not turn into completed projects that render desired results are of no value. Indeed, we could say this couldn't we and many do. Let me present a more enlightened thought on the subject.
#The Difference Between Believing And Knowing
One aspect to achieving a goal, is a measure of whether you believe it will happen or not. But, what if you take that BELIEF to another level altogether, which can ultimately produce much faster results, because all the things that you are going to need to help you attain your goal, are ready in line at the time you need them. For this you need to take your BELIEF to the level of KNOWING.
KNOWING that something will be there when you put your hand out to reach it is a powerful energy to work with.

# Jim Carey's First Check
Did you know that when Jim Carrey was young he was starting his career he wrote himself a $10 million dollar check to represent what he would earn from a movie one day? And he has since done that and more. Jim Carrey saw his success in advanced and believed, that is, had the faith to believe that he could achieve his goal.
With your goals, do you know why you've given up on your past goals that you did not achieve? Why have you not achieved them? It's one, or a combination of these factors:
