<p><span style="font-size: small;">Are you withered, in need of water, wilting on the vine? Or are you vibrant, strong, blossoming, or in full bloom? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Let&#8217;s assume you are able to visualize yourself as strong, healthy, and full of colorful flowers. Can you imagine the fragrance of your flowers fully enough to smell the sweet perfume? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Today is a good time to &#8216;plant&#8217; a vital image.</span></p>

<P><FONT size=3>Comparing ourselves with high-profilers&#8211;those who have made themselves names in the media&#8211;is an exercise fraught with failure.

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let&#8217;s imagine a person who&#8217;s just making ends meet with $75,000 annual salary in a job that doesn&#8217;t excite or inspire. A definition of success might be an annual salary of $200,000. The point is that the definition of success is raising the bar on what we&#8217;re currently achieving in a way that may seem overly challenging or never enough. Someone with an annual income of $1M &amp; sets the bar of success at several $Ms. Both may seem ludicruous to the one making $30k annually. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">How can we make our definition of success more compatible with getting <strong>Immediate</strong> results Every day? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">How&#8217;s life different feeling successful every day?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What will your easily achievable definition of success be for today?</span></p>

<P><FONT size=3>Usually we use the template of our past to build our future. Often this means that we focus on the trials and difficulties of our past. It is in our best interests to give stronger focus to our successes to build a positive and more successful future.</FONT><br />
<P><FONT size=3>However, when it comes to visualization the imagination does not know the difference between reality and possibility. It is possible to start from &#8216;scratch&#8217; and build&nbsp;a future based solely on how we imagine it to be. </FONT><br />
<P><FONT size=3>The future is an extension of the past.&nbsp;To create a different&nbsp;future, dismiss&nbsp;the past.</FONT></P></p>

<DIV>There is a parallel between the darkness of the&nbsp;season and&nbsp;the darkness of the economic situation all over the world right now.&nbsp; The economic situation may seem bleak to some, but we can still&nbsp;draw strength by listening to our forebearer&#8217;s wisdom.&nbsp; Now is the time to&nbsp;have fun and reconnect with others, begin to form new connections and be more engaged.&nbsp; Reach out to others and allow them to connect with you through the dark times and&nbsp;turn to the loving side of life.&nbsp;</DIV></p>
