<p style="text-align: justify;">So, the holidays have come and gone. And with them the excitement and the stress of buying gifts, decorating and getting together with family and friends. As much as I enjoy the holidays and spending time with loved ones, I must admit, I am kinda happy to have the busy season behind us. I can finally focus and really concentrate on setting new goals and actually working towards achieving them!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This Week&#8217;s <span style="color: #3366ff;">Hits </span>are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- <span style="color: #3366ff;">Writing. </span>I have been pretty horrible at updating the blog for the past few weeks, and I have no excuse, except for the bare truth: I have not had the motivation to write, which to me means I am at my lowest low. So the fact that it is Monday, a new day, a new week, and a fresh start and that I am actually writing is already a huge hit for me personally. =)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://leylasroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/writing.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1175" title="writing" src="http://leylasroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/writing.gif" alt="writing" width="527" height="422" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- <span style="color: #3366ff;">Asking the Universe for what you want, in writing</span>&#8230; If you have not yet seen the infamous documentary about the Powerful Law of Attraction, called <a href="http://www.thesecret.tv/" target="_blank">The Secret</a>, you have been missing out on life&#8217;s greatest truth and gifts. I highly, highly recommend you find the DVD and watch it as soon as you can!!! Although it has been commercialized and focuses mostly on material gains, at the core of it, it speaks of the truth about life: The Law of Attraction. And the powerful act of asking the Universe for what you really want, in a written format! Since watching The Secret I have been using that system and have more often than not, always gotten what I had asked for. It works life magic&#8230; Gives me chills just thinking about it!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just recently, I have written down a new Profile for my Ideal Man, and what do you know, not even a month later, I have met a person who matches almost every category on my list. Only time can tell how far this relationship will develop, but the fact of the matter is, if you passionately ask the Universe for what you want and are Ready to receive it, it will deliver you that what you have asked for.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Every time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No exceptions!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://leylasroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/the-secret.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1176" title="the-secret" src="http://leylasroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/the-secret.jpg" alt="the-secret" width="559" height="329" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This Week&#8217;s Misses Are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- <span style="color: #3366ff;">Procrastinating</span>. I have written about this problem of mine already. But the things is&#8230; it remains a big, negative factor that I deal with and work on continually. I think it stems from many things like laziness, choosing to stay within your comfort level and most importantly, it all comes down to FEAR!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fear of rejection: What if I try and don&#8217;t succeed?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fear of failure: What if I try and fail?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fear of Success: What if I will succeed? Am I ready for it? Can I handle it?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My answer to how to beat the fear and go past it?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ACTION.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Act IN SPITE OF fear!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Find the strength within to do the VERY things that scare you to death. It is there&#8230; That strength that I am talking it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Each and EVERY one of us has it within. What separates you or me from the likes of Bill Gates, Oprah, Nelson Mandela etc?!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are all made up of the same blood and flesh, it is only the story we tell ourselves of who we are and what we can or cannot achieve that build those differences and separations between success and failure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is a constant work in progress, and I am NOWHERE near of reaching and achieving my goals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But armed with this new and improved, positive attitude I know I can and I will. =)</p>
