Become a Seeker Who Also Finds

by Michelle L. Casto, Ph.D.

So you have read the books, watched the movies, and spent thousands on products that are supposed to help you finally attract what you want in life.

You have shelves of information, right?
In fact, I bet some of those very resources remain unopened and still in the package.

The real question is Do your results match your investment of time, money and energy?

Not so much?

You are not alone, my friend.
I have been there and so have many of my clients.
They too were seekers who were on a continual search for “the secret.”

Lovers of knowledge must seek, that is natural.
However we must also FIND.

Let me use a simple analogy.
If you are making a cake and forget the eggs, your cake will not turn out the way you want it to, it may not even taste good at all!
Just like with personal development, you must have all the necessary ingredients to experience a Fulfilling Life.

If your life is not happy and successful (the way you envision it), an ingredient is missing.

Let’s see what you have so far.

You have a secret dream of being someone bigger, brighter, happier, and more loving.
You want to contribute your gifts and talents to the world.
You want to liberate yourself from a mundane existence, the prison of working for not-so enlightened people, barely scraping by financially, and running low on energy.
You want to help yourself so you can help others.
You can imagine the happiness, love, and success in your mind’s eye, but still see the same old reality in your face.

And still you persist.
You absorb wisdom every day and take time to self-reflect, learn, and grow your soul.
You are gaining new insights.
You are seeing new opportunities.
You are meeting like-minded people.
You are journaling your heart out.

Exhaustion is creeping in.
You wonder: Will I ever get there?!

Not if a critical ingredient is missing.

Something that would bring everything together for you.
Something to help you stay aligned with your BIG VISION.
Something to help you fight off the demons of doubt and fear.
Something to help you put the final pieces of your success puzzle together.

If you are spiritually smart, you know it is not some Thing at all.
You realize you have gone as far as you can on this journey alone.
It is time to enlist a guide.
It is time to admit it: I need help.

Yes, you are only human and need someone.

Someone who believes in you.
Someone to keep you on the right track.
Someone to walk with you as you progress towards your dream.
Someone who has “been there, done that.”

Enter the coach.
Ara Parasheghian once said, A good coach will make his players see what they can be rather than what they are. A professional coach can help you shift from seeker to finder, from confused to confidence, from lost to found.

Do yourself a favor, go to the telephone, call a Coach, and get the support you need to succeed!

A 5-Step Recipe for Achieving More Success Michelle L. Casto

You Were Born for Greatness and to Succeed

Human beings are given a blank canvas called Life upon which we can create our very own work of art, painting whatever picture we desire. Unfortunately, we have not received education in the ways of success, learning things like the value of imagination and visualization. Most of us never even heard about the basic Laws of the Universe (attraction, retribution, polarity, creation) until adulthood. We were miss-informed by well-meaning people and institutions that told us that success is hard to come by, a struggle. This is fiction! And it is time for you to achieve the dreams you have dreamed about.

Bring Forth the Treasure Within You

The treasure that is within you are your God-given gifts, as well as having the ability to trust in a higher power who wants you to be healthy, wealthy, and wise. Success comes first in thought, then in energy, and finally in form. To be more successful, start first by thinking of yourself as a success. Look around and recognize the success that you are already are.

Choose to believe in who you are and your abilities. Then you will intuitively know the right actions to take, which will easily lead you to the best possible outcome. We’ve been misled to think that success is a destination or something tangible you can see, like money in the bank or a big fancy house. Success is a feeling, a state of being, where you feel satisfied, joyful, fulfilled, and like you are doing your very best.

The old sign of success was external, and about what you have. The new sign is internal—what I call Soul Success, and is from the inside out, based on how happy and on purpose you feel. Benjamin Disraeli said, Success is constancy of purpose. This quote emphasizes the need to live our lives on purpose consistently and persistently. The ultimate success in life is to answer the age-old questions of Who I am? and Why I am here? 

When you answer these essential questions, you can begin to master the most important lessons of all--- who you were born to be and what you came here to do. This will make setting and achieving goals much easier because they will be in alignment with your soul’s vision and purpose in life. Success is attracted to people who provide value and who invest in themselves. So to attract more success, be success in each and every moment. This means seeing and experiencing success now. There are 5 ways I have found that allow my mind to become set for success: 

1) completion 2) deletion 3) creation 4) organization 5) delegation. 

When you feel the need to have instant success, organize something, complete something, remove something, delegate, and create something. Each of these actions is instant energy shifters and allows you to train your brain to see success, and therefore, be success.

5 Step Recipe for Success

There are also steps that you can use to be more successful--- follow your inspirations where they lead, set clear intentions, apply focused attention, and take massive action daily. 

A formula for success is: Inspiration + Intention + Attention+ Action=SUCCESS
Follow Inspirations
This step involves listening to and responding to the inklings, messages, and inspirations your inner self is sending you. It is wise to honor that information and follow where it leads you.

Set Clear Intentions
This step involves setting your mind towards a specific outcome is (remain open to something even better), and you fully believe it will come to pass. It is wise to write your intentions down on paper.

Apply Focused Attention
This step involves clearing your mind, bringing your whole self by giving your full attention to the task at hand. It is wise to practice a grounding or relaxation exercise prior to beginning.

Take Massive Action
This step involves doing something every single day to move you towards your goal. It is wise to develop and utilize a strategy action plan.

Beware of Unchallenged Beliefs
Now that you know what success really requires, what is stopping you from getting started? Often it is limiting beliefs. You probably mistakenly believe that you are not good enough, smart enough, etc. These beliefs are just lies you have told yourself that you have come to believe. And it is essential that you uproot any and all beliefs that limit you.

Always remember the essential Truth that you already have all that you need to attract more success and happiness, you just need to learn to access your inner power. I have personally worked with clients who have turned their lives around from being divorced, bankrupt, and physically unwell to happily in love, prosperous and healthy in a few short months. So, no matter what your present life circumstances, even if they seem less-than-ideal, you can become even more successful starting this very moment by applying these simple steps.

Unconscious people often have hope without action, and wish without doing. You are different.
 
You are aware and conscious, and know that to access the success that is already there for you, will have to take 100% responsibility for your life, find out what you really want, and then make the required internal changes to get harmoniously aligned your desires and dreams. (This is where the inner work comes in, where you read, study, and gets mentored by those who have been where you are going.) The more you know, honor, love and develop yourself, the more Success becomes attracted to you. Set your sights high, dig deep, be teachable, coachable, actionable and your Big Success will arrive right on time.
