There is no accomplishment that has not been tested by life. Success is never a pain-free process. If you have a dream and want to see it come through, you must be ready to show faith in it, during the darkest, most difficult moments. How many of you reached a point when you said “Enough! I give up!” I bet, many. Even I am one among you. But, the truth is that, if you persevere, if you go past the “I give up” phase, if you affirm your faith in your dream, then the Invisible Examiner will see that you are serious about your purpose and will grant you success. Remember, the only way to pass the Examiner’s test is to show faith in action. Here’s how you do it:
Faith Is Like Love: We Must Prove It with Actions
When you love someone with all your heart, you accept that person as who he or she is, including their imperfections and shortcomings. You don’t say “I love you for this, but I hate you for that”, right? And, when the person you love needs your help you do give it, unconditionally. The same happens with faith. When you have faith in your dream, you do so despite the challenges your dream will bring in your path. It’s your dream and it depends only on your actions to fulfill it. So, when the path to fulfillment gets rough, you don’t give up. You show faith, much as you show love for someone when they are going through a hard time that makes that person difficult to deal with.
An example of unshakable faith is J. K. Rowling, the author of “Harry Potter”. She wrote most of her first “Harry Potter” book in coffee shops, because they were heated and she could not afford to pay for heat in her apartment. A single mother without childcare, she carried her baby daughter in a stroller that she kept by her side while writing away Harry Potter’s story, moved by an inner need to continue on until her book was finished. When she submitted her book, it was at first rejected by a number of publishers. She never gave up. Showing faith in her dream through actions, she persevered. She knew all along that writing Harry Potter was her only option, even though she had no way of proving that it would ever become such a tremendous, tremendous success. Her faith in her dream was so strong that lit her path even when it seemed completely dark and hopeless to others. She passed all the tests of her Invisible Examiner with flying colors, until she proved that her faith was stronger than her challenges.
How to Pass the Test of Faith in Your Dream
You too can you show unshakable faith in your dream! Here are some tips to follow when the Examiner tests you and wants to see that you mean business:
1. Meditate. Use silence to connect with your inner core, your creative source, and draw strength and inspiration to pursue your dream.
2. Stay connected with your dream. Write it as a statement and read it again and again. Or create a collage or a drawing of your dream, and keep it in a visible place, so you can see it frequently. It’s amazing how much this simple activity can re-energize your faith.
3. Talk with your inner mentor, or reach out to your physical mentor. In Reel Fulfillment: A 12-Step Plan for Transforming Your Life through Movies,, I walk you through the steps of doing this.
4. Talk to an ally. This can be a friend, a coach, your minister, someone you trust and who cares about you.
5. Keep checking your results. Keep a log of your progress, to remind yourself how far you have come since you began pursuing your dream.
6. Ask yourself: “Would I want to go back to where I was before I started pursuing my heart’s desire?” Answer honestly, running through your mind all the aspects of your former life. As long as your answer is, “No way!” you’re on the right track
7. Watch a film with your favorite character who also inspires you. Afterwards, have an imaginary dialogue with him or her. In Reel Fulfillment I show you how to do that.
8. Do one thing that brings your closer to your dream when your faith is challenged. This is how you show your Invisible Examiner that you are not shunned by tests. For example, if you want to be a famous author but your manuscript just got rejected, write a short article and publish it in a local newspaper, or on the internet. You will feel better and continue to look for a publisher who will accept your manuscript.
How Movies Can Help You Stay True to Your Dreams
As your faith in your dreams is challenged, tested or questioned, movies can be great allies to keep you on track. This is what you can do: from the following list, pick one or more movies and watch them alone or with friends.
• Field of Dreams
• October Sky
• Billy Elliot
• Working Girl
• Real Women Have Curves
Questions to answer:
1. What is the main character’s dream and what challenges he/she face?.
2. Through what concrete actions does the main character show faith in his/her dream?
3. How does the universe help the main character after he/she passes the test of Faith?
4. How does the character inspire you to strengthen faith in your dream?
5. Now that you watched this movie, what will you do differently to stay true to your dream?

Tempted to grab those instant credit cards at the checkout counters of your favourite stores to get those cool discounts? Before you sign on the dotted line, you may want to read the fine print. Some companies offering instant card approval may not be packing as much punch as they seem to promise and saving a few bucks today with some of these offers may end up costing you quite a few more than you bargained for. But with so many options out there, there are still quite a few instant credit card approval offers that might still make sense for you.
What Are Instant Credit Cards?
While many credit card companies take time to process your application before the card arrives at your doorstep with instant credit cards, you can qualify for the card almost immediately. You can find them at retail checkout counters, department stores as well as online. And we should not forget about the never ending stream of offers received via regular mail from credit card companies pitching hard for their latest offering.
Downside Of Instant Card Approvals
Setting aside the immediacy of an instant credit card approval, there are significant pitfalls of instant card approvals to be aware of. A common misconception regarding instant card approvals is the notion that you will gain instant access to credit. The instant approval process is a filter that merely qualifies card applicants for the application process. But you still have to fill out a card application and go through the approval process like anyone else. With an instant approval, you qualify for the application process but not necessarily the card itself.
Instant credit cards can also carry higher much interest rates than traditional card offerings in the marketplace. In such cases, the card will end up costing you more money in interest than you gained in benefits. Unlike traditional card offers that currently exist, some instant credit cards will not offer an introductory interest-free period at all. And similar to traditional credit cards, the people most likely to get instant credit card approval are those with good credit histories. Instant credit cards will require an inquiry about your credit history from at least one of the major credit bureaus so make sure not to attempt to gain approval for multiple instant card approvals at once as too many credit inquiries at the same time can adversely affect your credit rating.
If you thought instant approvals were to good to be true, you may have been right. But that is no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Spend some time researching various instant credit cards and compare them side by side. You can find a solid instant card approval offer with very competitive rates of interest, attractive rewards programs, balance transfer features and more. And while these type of benefits are not necessarily typical with instant credit cards, they are available, and with a little bit of effort, you can locate some very attractive offers.

There is plenty of information about buying new Buick cars and how to shop for the best deal, but what happens after the sale? What about warranty coverage and recalls? In this article, the focus turns to the post-sale questions and how to find the answers.
As with all new Buick cars, a warranty is offered to the new owner. It is important to remember, however, that not every repair is covered under warranty. Problems that are covered under warranty must be repaired at an authorized Buick cars dealership. The company actually recommends that all repairs, including those under warranty and those that are not, be done at an authorized dealership in order to maintain quality and knowledgeable service. The best way to find out if the shop is authorized to perform Buick cars warranty repairs is to simply ask.
Now that we know where to have the repairs made, it’s important to know about the warranty coverage period. When it comes to Buick cars, the warranty period on new automobiles covers four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. The limited warranty promises to cover only registered vehicles that are located in the United States and Canada. The coverage period begins on the first day of delivery and provides bumper to bumper coverage on any automobile defect that is proven to be related to workmanship or materials. The company maintains that any Buick cars dealer will honor the warranty even if it was not purchased from that specific dealer.
Many people believe that only new Buick cars carry a warranty, but that isn’t the case. Used Buick cars also carry an optional warranty, which is available by purchase. In other words, used Buick cars are not automatically covered as new models are, but a warranty can be purchased and even financed directly through the dealership. Known as GM Repair Protection (GMRP), any optional warranty must be purchased at the same time as the vehicle.
At times, certain vehicles may need to be recalled. Should a recall on any Buick cars occur, customers are to be notified by mail. In the meantime, however, car owners may call 1-800-422-8425 for recall information.
Whether you are in the market for new or used Buick cars, there are a number of authorized dealerships that offer both. If you are interested in a new model that has yet to be released, you may ask a local dealer for the release schedule and possibly pre-order one of the new models before they even arrive at the lot. This advance order system allows customers to confirm a purchase and know that owning their new automobile isn’t far down the road.
