How to Get What You Want

One of the things I've been very good at is manifesting what I want in my life. People often ask me how I do it. How at only 35 have I managed to have two kids, live in a dream house on the ocean in Hermosa Beach, build two million dollar businesses and attract my ideal life partner?

Today, I want to share with you my secrets for having everything I want so that you can too. First, you must understand that you are already a master at manifestation. Look around you and understand that everything around you right now has been created by you and your thoughts. If you are not happy with what you see, take full responsibility for that, not from a place of shame or guilt, but from a place of empowered knowingness that because you have created it, you can also change it.

Next, become aware that the secret to having everything you want in life is first knowing what you want.

I find that this can be the most difficult step for most people because sometimes what we want feels too big and overwhelming.

For example, what I want more than anything is to have my own TV show. In my heart, I've known that for years. But, it's only been in the last year or so that I could say that out loud and acknowledge it not only to the world, but to myself.

Why?

Because it was too big and scary. What if I admitted it and then it didn't happen? What if I wasn't good enough? What if ... What if ... What if .... Sound familiar?

Here's the truth though. Until I could admit it to myself and start to say it out loud, it would never happen. Even though it's what I wanted more than anything deep down inside. By keeping it hidden (from the world and from myself!), my mind made me believe I was safe from disappointment. But that's a lie, isn't it?

The first step to getting what you want is knowing what you want and broadcasting it as loudly as you possibly can.

The next step to getting what you want is to describe it fully as if it was already so.

So, here's my description:

I want a TV show where I can guide people through life transforming events, whether it's starting a business, leaving a relationship, resolving a family conflict ... change is hard for most people. And yet, when guided through it, these events can be the catalyst for incredible life growth. I want to facilitate that growth in an entertaining and inspiring way. I want to show up at the studio around 10a for script review, hair and makeup. I want the show to tape at 2p or 3pPT each day from the Los Angeles area, preferably as close to Hermosa Beach as possible and I want to be out of the studio no later than 4pPT and on my way home. Can you see that happening? I can!

Now the next step is the most important. You must take action to prepare yourself for getting what you want.

There were a lot of things I needed to do to prepare myself for my own TV show. One of the hardest things was letting go of the things in my life that would conflict with what I wanted, like anything that would make me unavailable during taping hours, which mean that I had to stop seeing new clients at my law firm and bring in a partner to take over the day to day operations. This was difficult because I had to let go of things I had become attached to that I thought I needed in my life when I didn't have any guarantee of replacing those things. There's a lot of faith involved with getting what you want.

Last, I had to begin to take actions that would lead me closer to what I wanted.

For example, I am not sitting around waiting for TV to come to me. I began to hold myself out as an expert. I wrote a book. I started to appear on radio programs. I began to build a platform. And now, I'm taping a pilot episode of a show. It's impossible to know which of these things will lead to my own TV show. But, I know some of them will. And the more I do that is aligned with my vision of what I want, the more likely I am to get what I want.

The same is true for you. So, to recap, here's the steps you can take to have everything you want in life:

Step 1: Be aware that you are a master at manifesting and that you are creating everything in your life right now.

Step 2: Admit to yourself what you want. Then, broadcast it in some way to the people around you. You can do this on a blog, by telling your close friends or family, or in some even bigger way.

Step 3: Describe the details of what you want as fully and specifically as possible. This can be in writing, pictures or digital, just get a clear vision out of your head and onto something you can see.

Step 4: Prepare yourself to have what you've described by letting go of those things that are in conflict with what you want. Have the faith to let go even before what you want has appeared.

Step 5: Take the actions that will bring you closer to having what you want.

Share Your Stories, Share Your Life

People's lives today are so busy. There are jobs, classes, taking care of the kids, clubs, and lessons and so on. They don't always have enough time to spend with the people they love, especially in their extended families. Writing individual letters and sending pictures takes up more time and money. Creating and sending out a family newsletter to everyone on your list is a better idea, but that still costs money for paper, ink, envelopes and stamps. Which means you will be less likely to share it with everyone you know.

An even better way to keep family and friends in tune with your life is to use free online photo sharing stories. The people you love can keep up with all the things your family is doing no matter where they live in the world. Imagine how much easier it is to send them an email link and let them know about the updates? Then Mom can forward it to your Great Aunt Martha or your second cousin Samantha without it costing you a dime or taking up any more of your precious time.

One great thing about free online photo sharing stories is, obviously, that they are free. This eliminates all the excuses for not keeping your family updated on Johnny's swim team or Susie's dance class. Maybe you want to share the simple things in life, like your latest quilt design or a new recipe you tried. You can post as many photo sharing stories as you want for free so you don't have to worry about something being too trivial. People love being included in the small moments and it really helps them feel closer to you and your family.

The other great thing about free online photo sharing stories is that they are so easy to create. You can upload your photo to the website and add your story along with it. It can be as long or short as you like. Some people just like to share a sentence or two that describes the scene in the picture. Others write a complete essay-style story to really engage the reader include their friends and family into their lives more intimately. The choice is yours.

And it doesn't take a lot of technical skill to do these. Most of the time all you have to do is point and click. Click to add the photo. Click in the text box to write your story. Click once more to publish it to the web. It's so much easier than creating a newsletter or even creating a scrapbook page at home. Plus, there is not any paper scraps left laying around the house.

Free online photo sharing stories are so much fun to create and to view. It is really a win-win situation for everyone. You can keep up your busy lifestyle while still staying in touch with family and friends and they get to appreciate and enjoy all the great times you and the children are having. That is a grandparent's wish come true!

Background Requirements For A Career In Biotechnology

If you’re seeking a career in biotechnology, one thing is for certain ... the more education you have, the higher up you can go. The fact is, no matter where you wind up working, you will be surrounded by people with Ph.D.'s and medical degrees. It is highly unlikely that an individual without an advanced degree such as these will get to the top of the corporate chain.

Therefore a bachelor's degree in the life sciences is a bare minimum. After that, it is recommended that you pursue an advanced degree; whether it be a master's degree or higher. Common degrees include; molecular biology, cell physiology, biochemistry, genetics and the like.

You should plan to take as many labs in college as possible as these will provide you with hands-on experience. Teaching as a student-teacher is also a wise move, as is becoming a part of a research project. It is possible to co-author a quality research paper before you ever even graduate with a bachelor's degree.

Biotechnologists frequently gain employment for biotech corporations. Over the last two decades, thousands of biotech corporations have sprung up around the globe. From start-ups to companies the size of Amgen, the choices range from pay to research to prestige.

Employment in the biotech industry may also be sought in academic institutes; such as universities and non-profit organizations. These typically pay less than biotech corporations, but may have more opportunities for independent research.

As a biotechnologist, you will spend most of your work hours in a laboratory. The work can be tedious and requires patience, but many truly enjoy working with their hands. You will design and carry out experiments and will need to keep good records.

The best biotechnologists enjoy innovation and the spirit of helping to advance society. If you choose biotechnology as a career, you can expect to be right on the cutting edge of technology.
