Perhaps the most powerful single factor in your success is your beliefs about yourself and life in general. I call this the Law of Belief. It says simply this: Whatever you believe, with feeling, becomes your reality.

What Successful People Believe

Whatever you intensely believe becomes your reality. That we have a tendency to block out any information coming in to us that is inconsistent with our reality. What I’ve discovered is that successful people absolutely believe that they have the ability to succeed. And they will not entertain, think about, or talk about the possibilities that they’ll fail. They do not even consider the possibility of failure.

Positive Thinking Versus Positive Knowing

You always act in a matter consistent with your beliefs. The most important belief system you can build is a prosperity consciousness where you absolutely believe that you are going achieve your goals. We call this positive knowing versus positive thinking. Positive thinking can sometimes be wishing or hoping. But positive knowing is when you absolutely know that no matter what, you will be successful.

The Foundation of Willpower

Another principle related to your beliefs is willpower. We know that willpower is essential to any success. Willpower is based on confidence. It’s based on conviction. It’s based on faith. It’s based on your belief in your ability to triumph over all obstacles. And you can develop willpower by persistence, by working on your goals, by reading the biographies of successful people, by listening to audio programs, by reading books about people who’ve achieved success. The more information you take into your mind consistent with success, the more likely it is that you will develop the willpower to push you through the obstacles and difficulties you will experience.

Beat the Odds on Success

Remember that success is rare. Only one person in one hundred becomes ’successful’ (happy?) in the course of a lifetime. Only a minute percent of people achieve true independence. That means that the odds that are against you are 19-to-1. The only way that you’re going to achieve your goals is if you get really serious. To succeed, you must get serious. You must get busy. You must get active. You must get going. Remember, everything counts, every second counts.

Resolve to Achieve Greatly

Self-mastery, self-control, self-discipline are essential for anyone who wants to achieve greatly. And control over your thoughts is the hardest exercise in self-mastery that you will ever engage in. See if you can talk and think about only what you desire and not talk or think about anything that you don’t want for 24 hours. Then you’ll see what you’re really made of. It’s a hard thing to do but with practice, you can reach the point where you are thinking about your goals and desires most of the time. Then, your whole life will change for the better

Exercises
Here are two things you can do to build a belief system consistent with the success you desire:

First, continually repeat to yourself the words, pictures and thoughts consistent with your dreams and goals. Whatever you repeat often enough, over and over, becomes a new belief.

Second, set a goal for yourself to think and talk only about the things that you want for the next 24 hours. This will be one of the hardest things you ever do. But if you can keep your mind on what you want and off of what you don’t want for 24 hours, you can begin to change your entire future.

I feel your pain! So many times I can remember trying to help someone over the phone and the conversation would go like this. Me: Right-click on the desktop. Friend: Wait, I see a little square with words in it! Me: That’s fine — just click on Properties. Friend: Okay, where is the first property? Me: Sigh…

But then I discovered the Remote Assistance tool built into Windows XP. With Remote Assistance, you can view and interact with your friend’s computer (with their permission) just like you were sitting in front of it. Your friend sees everything you’re doing, so they can quickly learn how to fix the problem on their own. You can even open an audio channel to interact by voice during the session. (Mac and Linux users: See the end of this article for alternative solutions.)

To use Remote Assistance, the computer receiving assistance and the computer providing assistance must both run Windows XP, either Home or Professional edition, and they must be connected via the Internet or a local network. And a high-speed connection on both ends will make things go a lot smoother. To begin, the person requesting assistance must click on Start, then Help and Support. Then they must click on Invite a friend to connect to your computer with Remote Assistance.



Next, they should click on Invite someone to help you and choose a method for contacting the assistant. I recommend against using Windows Messenger, unless both parties are already familiar with it. Otherwise, it’s just not worth the hassle of setting it up. Choose the email option, and enter the assistant’s address in the box. If the person requesting assistance uses web-based email, have them choose the Save invitation as a file option, which creates a file they can send to the assistant as an attachment.



In the invitation, the person requesting assistance should give their name, a description of the problem, and a way for the assistant to contact them. Instructions on how to use Remote Assistance will be emailed to the assistant. They can specify how long the invitation will remain open, and provide a password that the assistant must use to connect. I strongly recommend using a password, to make sure that only the intended person is able to connect. It’s a good idea to give a phone number in the invitation, so the assistant can call for the password. This ensures that the correct person received the invitation, adding another level of security to the process.

When you receive the request for Remote Assistance, click on the attachment, launching Remote Assistant. The person requesting assistance will get a prompt asking them to allow the remote connection. When they press Yes, you will able to see the remote desktop, and chat with the person requesting assistance.

You can instruct the other person via chat or phone, while viewing the remote screen. But I recommend that you click on Take Control so you can directly control the other person’s computer from your screen. After granting you permission to take control, the other person will be able to see you whatever you’re doing, and can close the remote assistance session at any time. The assistant can also send a file to the remote computer, which can be helpful for problem solving and illustrating certain techniques.

As mentioned earlier, Remote Assistance only works if both computers are running Windows XP. If the assistant is using Linux, I recommend that you look into rdesktop, which allows Linux users to remotely login to a Windows XP system. For Mac users, Apple Remote Desktop used along with a Mac VNC client will do the trick.

Happy Remoting…….. ;~]

a classic & memorable rant by necsys

……………………

Rant

Y’know, I’m trying to be more positive in my journal these days. Which is why I haven’t posted much. If you can’t post something nice, don’t post anything at all.

But today I’ve got a rant that just needs to be ranted. A few, actually, but I’ll cut it down to one.

Femihippinazis

I love women. I love damned near everything about them. What I hate about them is mostly society’s fault. Things like glitter, phrases like “talk to the hand” and all that other bullshit that is generally society’s fault, and not genetics.

I generally run my life on the “99.999% Asshole”, which states that “99.999% of all people, of every race, creed, gender or fandom, is an asshole. And probably a total idiot too”

That said, everything cool is an exception to that rule. Every cool chick is just one out of a hundred or a thousand. Every cool guy is one in a thousand. Every cool Star Wars fan is 1 in 1000.

You get my point.

So today’s target:

99.999% of Women who affiliate with Wicca, Paganism, or Satanism.

Now before you even start to get huffy and defend yourself, sit back and think to yourself… “this doesn’t apply to me, I’m the exception”. You’re probably lying to yourself, and that’s why this DOES apply to you.

99% of women in the industrialized western world are under this delusion that they are somehow important or have worth. They are of course wrong. The 1% that does have worth are doing things to help mankind in some way. They’re raising their kids in a safe, logical, intelligent, nurturing environment. Or they’re going to work every day and doing a good job in spite of the fact that her coworkers are a bunch of dumbasses. She’s curing cancer or splicing DNA. Or she’s just cooking dinner and gives a great blowjob and can carry on a decent conversation for an hour or two without mentioning makeup or accessories.

But the other 9 out of that 10 are… Well… Just dumb bitches. Just like 9 out of every 10 guys… Ok, 999 out of every 1000 guys… Are weak-minded, thick-headed dolts who have little more to contribute to society than the occasional sperm-filled gym sock or a slimy trail across any given paved surface. (Remember ladies, I love you more than the guys) (just kidding, guys) (no really, ladies, you’re my favorite)

What I really hate are the women who, instead of being a stupid blonde bimbo who waves her cave-o-wonderful around for gifts and trinkets from some neanderthal who will happily wave his wallet and his phallus at anything in possession of sufficient mammary glands, decide they would rather rationalize that they are somehow empowered goddesses who fornicate, not for money like a common prostitute, but to enslave men to do their bidding. (i.e. buy them stuff)

Of all the things the women’s rights movement wanted to accomplish, I’m sure it was to make all the women who were submissive, ditsy blondes who spent all their time on their back because men had power and they didn’t, turn into delusional, ditsy black-haired pseudo-pagans who spent all their time on their back lying to themselves that they somehow “turned the tables” on the guy that is currently spelunking in her gaping chasm.

I have no problem with prostitution. As far as I’m concerned, putting a $5,000 diamond on a girl’s finger and paying $200 for a hummer are pretty much the same thing. Why you pay the premium for supplemental nagging, I’ll never know. But let’s not kid ourselves here.

Since the dawn of man, guys beat their chest and caught the biggest brontosaurus they could so they could impress the cave girl with the biggest pterodactyl eggs in her bra. And the cave girls got their knees dirty for the cave man that brought home the biggest uncut rose quartz crystal he could accidentally find while he tripped down the side of a mountain trying to avoid a saber toothed tiger. Cave girls had low standards, and in that respect, little has changed.

Now our little cave girls look for things like a Mercedes or some nice Bling. A doctor or a lawyer. And our cavemen hunt BMW’s, Rogaine and Viagra to impress those big mammaries.

Because deep down, it’s all about that one special thing that a man and a woman do when they’re deeply in love, and share an indescribable spiritual bond, a connection beyond all others: Fucking. Deep, and hard.

But back to femihippinazis…

While the Britney’s and the Krysta’s and the Candi’s of the world drag it through the gutter for loose change, a more elitist form of woman raises up in their black patent leather platform heels and mock the lowly blonde bimbos. They toss their jet-black hair over their shoulders and cackle loudly that they are superior to these weak, subservient whores, that men bow before their feminine power, that the goddess within manifests its will in others with a mere glance or devious smirk.

Which is why they have myspace accounts to write poetry in, never ceasing to use big words like “sadness” or “desolation” or “sanguine lust”, in-between torrid love affairs that always end in gut-wrenching heartache and sadness because their man-slave decided to go get spanked by a blonde bimbo instead of them. Livejournal accounts to seethe in, and channel their goddess energy against their district manager for not appreciating that they came in on a holiday after 3 straight weeks of being out sick with their new, barely legal man-slave that has purple hair and “plays in a punk band, but not a crappy punk band, a punk band that breaks new ground an doesn’t play by anybody’s rules but their own. They’re called ‘I hate my stupid parents and I want to die alone with my Sega Dreamcast’. It’s supposed to be ironic”. Be sure to emphasize the word “Ironic” as though it’s a foreign word that only you know the meaning of.

That’s TRUE empowerment. Read 2 chapters of some Wiccan (circa 1960’s hippie book, see neo-Pagan) or Neo-Pagan (circa 1990’s hippie book based loosely on a Celtic aesthetic to which nobody can truly claim to know anything about because the original Celtic pagans didn’t leave much in the way of writing) or The Satanic Bible, and you’re well on your way to casting spells upon those that would harm you and bind their bitch asses to Wisconsin and back!

You are woman. Hear yourself roar.

After your crash course in Majik Spellz, you are prepared to dominate the male species. See how they cower before you like they do before no man. The same way they cower before a really tricked out Honda Civic, right before seeing the Lamborgini that makes them prematurely evacuate the contents of the shallow end of their gene pool. That Honda is DAMNED impressive, and makes them go “ooh! aah!” but it’s because they’re amazed, not by its power or speed, but by the fact you can take a tinker toy and make it go really fast, almost like a real car.

And that is how these men see the femihippinazi. It’s impressive. For a dumb bitch.

I’m sure Anton LaVey really wanted to promote the idea that being a cheap, self-deluded prostitute was vastly superior to handling yourself like a responsible adult. That instead of finding the strength to empower yourself, you must sap it from exterior sources that have dark, mystical aesthetic value to better suit the foul mood of your latest menstrual cycle, and construct a crystal cathedral of lies and delusions that you’re not a weak, worthless failure of a human being who can’t find the strength to lift their engorged vaginal tissue off of the sweaty dance club’s bacteria-laden floor.

So before you quit your well-paying, stable day job, and leave your life of loathsome responsibility and relative security, you have to ask yourself… Would the goddess within rather make $50,000 a year under a glass ceiling, or $100 a dance on top of a table?

How Are You Treated By Others?

Self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people.

Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life.

Your attitude toward yourself is determined largely by the attitudes that you think other people have toward you. When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up.

The best way to build a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.

Let the Light Shine In

This is achieved through the simple exercise of self-disclosure. For you to truly understand yourself, or to stop being troubled by things that may have happened in your past, you must be able to disclose yourself to at least one person. You have to be able to get those things off your chest. You must rid yourself of those thoughts and feelings by revealing them to someone who won’t make you feel guilty or ashamed for what has happened.

Understand What Makes You Tick

The second part of personality development follows from self-disclosure, and it’s called self-awareness. Only when you can disclose what you’re truly thinking and feeling to someone else can you become aware of those thoughts and emotions If the other person simply listens to you without commenting or criticizing, you have the opportunity to become more aware of the person you are and why you do the things you do. You begin to develop perspective, or what the Buddhists call “detachment.”

Be Honest With Yourself

Now we come to the good part. After you’ve gone through self-disclosure to self-awareness, you arrive at self-acceptance. You accept yourself for the person you are, with good points and bad points, with strengths and weaknesses, and with the normal frailties of a human being. When you develop the ability to stand back and look at yourself honestly, and to candidly admit to others that you may not be perfect but you’re all you’ve got, you start to enjoy a heightened sense of self-acceptance.

Do An Inventory of Your Accomplishments

A valuable exercise for developing higher levels of self-acceptance involves doing an inventory of yourself. In doing this inventory, your job is to accentuate the positive and minimize the negative.

Think of your unique talents and abilities. Think of your core skills, the things that you do exceptionally well that account for your success in your profession and in your personal life right now.

Think About Your Future

Think about your future possibilities and the fact that your potential is virtually unlimited. You can do what you want to do and go where you want to go. You can be the person you want to be. You can set large and small goals and make plans and move step-by-step, progressively toward their realization. There are no obstacles to what you can accomplish except the obstacles that you create in your mind.

Exercises

First, sit down with a good friend and tell him or her about something that is troubling you and is still causing you unhappiness.

Second, develop perspective on your problem by standing back from it and imagining that it was happening to someone else. What advice would you give to that person?

Third, think continually about the good experiences and accomplishments you have enjoyed in the past. Remind yourself regularly that you are a pretty good person and you’ve done a lot of good things in your life.
