Change Your Perception; Change Your Life
Did you realise that you have the power to change your life by changing the way in which you view the world?
We view the world based on an internal map of rules that we have developed over the years. This is comprised of personal experience and beliefs we have gleaned from parents, friends, teachers etc.
Some of our rules are based on what society has determined is the correct way to behave, and are necessary to ensure we can all live and prosper together. This is our reality. We use this framework on which to base our decisions.
You can have two people with contrasting views, who both feel that they are right. This is because they have contrasting perceptions of reality. They see the world through different coloured lenses and they think their perception is ‘The Truth.’ However the term truth has no singular definition on which philosophers and scholars can agree.
Events, of themselves, are not good or bad; right or wrong, they just are. It’s the way we view them that makes the difference.
Because what we focus on expands, our perceptions of reality and thus our experience of reality, attracts more experiences that validate that perception. In other words, our thoughts lead to actions, which lead to results which cause us to prove ourselves right.
A life changing and empowering way to view any negative event is to ask yourself is, “what is good about this?” You may find this a hard question to answer at first and may not come up with anything positive, however keep asking yourself the question and your mind will give you the answer. The seeds of success are often hidden in adversity.
Learn to question your perceptions and assumptions. Become aware of the way in which you are seeing the world. Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. Changing your perception puts you on the path to deliberate creation of your life.

Is Reality an Illusion?
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
~Albert Einstein
The very first book I read on the subject of spirituality, many years ago now, was “It’s All in the Playing” by Shirley MacLaine. She expounded that the world is just a stage and we are the actors, playing out our lives.
I think this is true. What do you think? Is this life real or have we been fooled?
And what about the photo? (It was actually snapped at Madame Tussad’s Wax Works in London!!).
Many thanks to Cliff1066 who took it.
Kurek Ashley; Life Success Coach
If you are serious about achieving your life goals, why not get a professional
“Life Success Coach”?
Kurek Ashley was a successful Hollywood actor. When his life took a turn for the worse and he found himself at rock-bottom, he was forced to re-assess and re-build his life. He formulated a method for achieving peak performance based on hard experience. Subsequently he moved from the USA to Brisbane, Australia and became a Peak Performance and Life Success Coach, running seminars and teaching personal development, amongst other things.
Still on our never-ending quest for personal growth and financial freedom, my husband attended a weekend seminar of Kurek’s in Auckland, NZ, which culminated in firewalking! This was a life-changing experience for him.
We wouldn’t usually join a group like this, but Kurek’s philosophies struck a chord and we decided to join his Life Success Club.
Every night for over a year we listened to CD’s from Kurek. He introduced a new CD with new subjects every month. They covered all sorts of ‘strategies for taking your life to a higher level, mentally, financially, physically and spiritually‘.
Listening to the same thing 30 days in a row makes sure that it sinks in!! There was also an “action track” to do. It was very effective and we felt a lot happier too.
As we became more personally developed we felt confident enough to make some life-changing decisions. Using Kurek’s teachings (his “Thoughts create Actions which create Results”, is the “Law of Attraction”, which we also used), we eventually made the leap of faith; quit our jobs, sold everything and moved to Australia (our first major goal) with our young son.
Sunny Queensland is better than we imagined. We are achieving our goals and manifesting our dreams due, in no small part, to Kurek. We are deeply indebted to him for this.
Thank you Kurek.
A Daily Mantra for Uncertain Times
” I am guided by Divine Intelligence
In my words, thoughts and actions;
I am guided and protected,
I am full of the joy of living.”
~Anon
Try using this mantra. It’s a good “all-rounder” and great to use to re-assure yourself in times of uncertainty. It’s not hard to remember either!
Use it often and by the power of attraction it will manifest and become true for you.

The Serenity Prayer (all of it)
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway
to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
I surrender to His will
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

“Life” by Mother Teresa
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
