Develop Success Deep Within You

Develop Success Deep Within You

by Jane Powell on June 10, 2011

“True success.”

Success is not in your environment. It is not controlled by luck, chance, or the influence of others. Success is not in the greener pastures on the other side of the fence. Success lies right where you are – here and now!

You don’t need greater abilities, or greater opportunities. You already possess what you need for success to develop deep within you. So, don’t look elsewhere. Instead, expect the seeds of success to grow from your heart.

Starting today, vow to focus, explore and take action on what you have and what you can do. When you do, success will surely follow.

Are you a Hawk or a Crow.....Or possibly both?

The Hawk vs. The Crow

I have been seeing many Hawks lately in the Pacific Northwest. I have noticed an abundance of them for about a year now. I am not sure if it is the weather, time of year, or area, but they seem to be everywhere. It’s not a bad thing, as I LOVE watching them!!!

I could watch them for hours just flying in the sky. There are many things I think when I see them flying. Things such as, what are they flying towards, what are they searching for, and will they find what they are looking for.

There are many times I see them, just perched, on the light posts of our highway lights, that I drive along and they give me a peaceful feeling at times, like they are watching over our safety and for some reason, always feel better when I see them.

Then, occasionally I will see a crow flying at them, looking like they are wanting “a piece of the Hawk”. First thing that comes to mind is, “Are you kidding me, that is a hawk, you are looking to fight, you are going to lose that battle.” Then I remember something my mom told me, the Crow is going after the Hawk because the Hawk was going after, or flying to close, to the Crows nest.

Well, that was a big eye opener for me. The Crow, which I was thinking had NO chance against this beautiful huge Hawk was trying to protect his young. Of course he would try to defend it. Wouldn’t we all when it comes to our children????

Which is right? That might be the unanswered question! I personally love watching the Hawks fly in abundance around our area…..Does that mean I think it’s right to invade the Crow’s territory? Not necessarily. Everything in life happens for a reason. Let the best “Bird” win.

Sometimes this scenario makes me think of my business…..in more ways than one. The Hawk, searching for what he wants, and the Crow protecting what he has, and won’t let anyone else in.

On, a personal note, 10 years ago, I think I became a bit of the Hawk and a bit of the Crow. With the "Hawk" part of me I decided what I wanted regarding working from home, went for it, and have been happy and fortunate everyday since then. Being a single mom, there is nothing better and more gratifying that being home with my son and being able to work around HIS schedule! The "Crow" part of me thought I could never harm my child with toxic products and why would I not want better safer ones, knowing they were costing me anymore than what I was already spending. A "No Brainer" for me, all around!!!

I have had and seen many opportunities over the last 10+ years, maybe similar to the Crow protecting what he has. But nothing has come close to the opportunity that I found and have been working for all these years.

The wonderful thing about my business is I am able to do different things….help your family get better, safer, non toxic, non cancer causing products…..And, if you choose, to work from home WITHOUT having to sell anything!!!

Famous Buddhist Quotes & Sayings

Famous Buddhist Quotes & Sayings

Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.

You only lose what you cling to.

Fill your mind with compassion.

We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.

The Four Reliances
First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words;
Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher;
Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation;
And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others.
Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.

What we think, we become.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others.

He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

On life's journey Faith is nourishment,

Virtuous deeds are a shelter, Wisdom is the light by day and Right mindfulness is the protection by night.

If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him; If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.
