I wanted to share Success University courses that made a difference to me in 2008 – Six Of The Best
Success University has a fantastic business opportunity but I’ve never really made use of it to it’s full potential but what I love are the courses, they are fantastic. You get access to over 150 of the best self help minds on the planet. Every day I can log in and enjoy motivation, inspiration and an injection of personal growth whenever I want to. The only thing missing for me are more spiritual based courses but with the number of new pastors and ministers joining I’m sure it won’t be long.
There are several categories under which are a large range of courses including communication, family, financial, health & fitness, motivation, sales etc etc. I tend to make use of the courses under the headings of financial, motivation and personal development. There are so many great ones included that I haven’t had a chance to explore any of the other categories yet!
Below are the top six that I listened/read/watched in 2008 and not just once either!!!!
A setback is a set up for a comeback Willie Jolley – Video (Top course for 2008)
If you are currently going through a setback giving up is the worst thing you can do because this setback could be your setup for a come back.
Willie Jolley talked about via video what kind of people succeed so you can understand what you need to do to keep going. Listening to Willie made me realise that 2008 was all about a setback and 2009 will be my comeback as long as I am determined to keep going because at the time I logged in I was about ready to give up and get myself a full-time job. This one video set me up to continue on my path.
Charting Your Course by the dream in your heart Gary Eby (6 part audio)
Gary Eby outlines people who had a dream and never gave up
- Walt Disney went broke 7 times and had a nervous breakdown
- Thomas Edison’s teacher called him a dunce and he failed 1400 times at inventing the light blub
- Abraham Lincoln failed at every venture he tried until he became president
Are you getting the picture here? These people went on to make history because they never gave up on the dream in their heart.
It’s all about charting your own course by the dream you have in your heart and never giving up.
Fear of Being Fabulous (audio) by Judith Sherven and Jim Sniechowski (husband and wife)
It was the heading that attracted me to this video because I love talking about being fabulous! This audio laid out why you might have a fear of being as fabulous as you could be!
Master Your Money Type with Jordan Goodman “America’s Money Answers Man”
I realised I had hit upon something when I started reading this information and it started with a few typical sub texts about people and how we view money. I recognised mine immediately. My underlying conversation for spending is “I know if I take one more chance I will hit the jackpot and have everything I ever wanted” There were a few others that people typically say and Jordan has created a way for you to identify what your money type is and how you can master it.
The 8 steps to creating wealth is another of my favourite audios by Marcus de Maria and Marcus did a teleseminar back for us in January 2008 which you can listen to it here. So you get that one for free

Make Your Money Work For you – Vanessa Summers
A wonderful human being who empowers women and couples to be wealthy and successful in any economy, in any market, at any time in order to attract more abundance, make more money and work smarter. I only found this audio this month so have only listened to it once but it’s amazing and I will be listening to it again and again during 2009. Vanessa believes that wealth is important because the more you have the more you have to give to the world in every possible way. She also talks about the fact that in every economic change there is an opportunity to make money and that we are all programmed to react to money in a certain way and we need to overcome that to avoid coming back to the same result.
The great thing about all of these courses and all the others available through Success University is that I can listen to them over and over again. It’s repitition that makes a difference to keep us motivated and uplifted. If you are looking to change your life in 2009 I definitely recommend Success University. Invest in yourself and enjoy Success by joining Success University.

What Is Self Realization?
December 29, 2008 by DianeCorriette · Leave a Comment
There are two terms I use on here that I wanted to explain so that you have a clear understanding of where I am coming from. They are self realization and personal growth.
What is Self Realization?
My definition is that self realization is the step that happens after personal growth. It’s the ultimate ending and yet the very beginning because we reach a very important time in our life when we not only understand intellectually about our very nature being spirit and our need to return to Source but we actually use it experientially – in other words we learn by LIVING it.
We allow God to guide us and spend more time in a state of constant love and joy. It’s one thing to understand that God can provide us with everything we desire (intellect) it’s a completely different thing to actual use that understanding so that everything you desire actually SHOWS UP in your life (experiential)
I hit the moment of self realization when I realized that I was spending my life searching for something and I was actually searching for myself. Of course I went on to deny it for a few more years because I’m stubborn like that and when I re-connected I did so powerfully, this time including an intimate relationship with God. My experience turned to pure joy.
Here are a few more definitions I found on the internet
- self-fulfillment: the fulfillment of your capacities
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn - Soul recognition. The entering of Soul into the Soul Plane and there beholding Itself as pure Spirit. A state of seeing, knowing, and being.
www.eckankar.org/glossary.html - The goal at an individual level is to fully realize one’s identification with nature. This involves neither a sense of an independent self nor the loss of the self in the oneness of nature. Self-realization is the full awareness of the self-in-Self.
www.eoearth.org/article/Deep_ecology - The spiritual search takes us in many directions, introduces many new ideas, give promises and via many well meaning teachers. But it is only when we come into contact with a self realized being that our search can be directed meaningfully. …
www.beyondseeking.com/definitions.html - The progressive experiential comprehension of the self as consciousness, as soul and of God. SEE SELF MASTERY
www.eoni.com/~visionquest/library/glossary.html - process that involves the healthy development of people’s capabilities, enabling them to fulfill their own unique natures

What Is Personal Growth?
Personal Growth is the step before self realization when we are learning about who we are.
How our inner world plays a part in shaping our outer world.
Our purpose for being here.
The games we play that keep us stuck.
Our limiting beliefs and the way we control others.
Our thoughts and how they impact our life and experience.
It’s about self improvement. Improvement of our own self. Many times doing this alone (without God)
Its a process of identifying and healing what isn’t working so that we can continually grow and transform our current way of thinking, feeling and behaving to something more empowering.
It’s about finding our untapped talents and bringing them forth into our lives so that we can enjoy a more creative, spiritual and fulfilled life.
When we don’t grow or improve on who we are it’s easy to stay stuck, unhappy and unfulfilled. Many people die that way.
The only information I could find on personal growth (as an explanation was here on Wiki)
Years of personal growth helps you to connect to your inner self and many people then begin a spiritual journey. It’s the spiritual journey that leads you onto an understanding of the awesome power of the universe (or formless substance as Wallace D Wattles from the Science of Getting Rich likes to call it) which naturally leads on to self realization.
Remember this is my own personal definition of what self realization and personal growth is and I write from this perspective. There is no one way or right way to explain what is a very personal experience. Personal development is about the development of a person and we are all very different so it will mean different things for different people.
When I started my spiritual journey I read something very powerful from Iylana Vanzant which was “Find Your Own Interpretation of The TRUTH”
I invite you to do the same. Don’t take on everything I say and believe it. Use what feels right for you and discard what doesn’t. This is your personal journey of self discovery and no one can tell you how that should turn out.
In all of this remember. Our journey is not a straight path. We can slip off our path and have to correct ourselves to get back on it.
I fell off my path in a major way in 2006 until April 2008 when God whispered in my ear “You don’t think that what you are doing now is really what you are supposed to be doing do you?” – at that time I was on a quest to make money on the web.
I had forgotten myself spiritually and went in the pursuit of money. I had left Inspirational Guidance behind and it’s purpose of empowering women to find passion and purpose. I stopped connecting with Source and lived in my head where I planned mentality what I wanted to do. My plans didn’t work out and it put me in the worst position of my life and yet the best because (to quote Willie Jolley) I realized that this set back was a setup for a comeback!
God reminded me that he had a plan for me and now here I am doing His work.
“To rise above the duality of creation and perceive the unity of the Creator was conceived of as man’s highest goal.”
