Goals are action not written.

People fall into one of four groups:

1) No mission, no goals - People who are lively as slugs in a puddle;

2) A mission but no goals - People who are dreamers;

3) Goals but no mission - People who are sporadic, ineffective and disappointed;

4) Mission and goals - People with the seeds of greatness.



It is all well and good to plant the seeds but ACTION bears the fruit.

Money is an article which may be used as a universal passport to everywhere except Heaven, and as a universal provider of everything except Happiness. ~ Wall Street Journal

Be Yourself

Do not tip toe through life hoping to make it to death.
Be yourself, for it is only inside yourself that you can find true happiness.

I'm just too busy!

She hadn't time to pen a note.
She hadn't time to cast a vote.
She hadn't time to sing a song.
She hadn't time to right a wrong.

She hadn't time to love or give.
She hadn't time to really live.
But from now on she'll have time no end,
She died today, my 'busy' friend.

Law of Success

The 'Law of Success' is advertised as a free download in google but I was excited to find a first edition for $3.00 at a garage sale.
Self help books have been around for years and from my studies I have found they all pretty much say the same thing only a different way. Some say the bible was the first. In the search for self improvement one may be looking for an instruction manual that does not exsist. The knowledge is already in our posession our only failure is due to lack of action and poor decisions.

J.H.Kelly makes a very valid point in his introduction so I will quote.

'A much larger book could upon the suggestions of the author, have been written, and the sayings of noted men could have been given by the page, but such a book is more for interesting reading than for close study. The student is requested to bear this constantly in mind while studying this book.
It will be observed from the very first that the book consists of a statement of facts, and not a statement of what to do.
(now this is the part I like)
A study of facts will enable one of ordinary intelligence to decide upon the course of action.
If a reader decides for himself what he shall do, he is acting upon his own decisions, and will be enabled to intelligently follow out his course of action, but if he is acting upon the suggestions of the author, he is attempting to carry out someone else's plans and not his own. No man ever became truly successful by carrying out another man's ideas.
With the assertion that anyone can succeed in this if he will but try, and that what one has done another can do, the author leaves the student to the work before him.'

Nevada, Mo., Feb 1 1900 J.H.Kelly

In the conclusion he writes:
'Reader, do not delay, but begin at once to demonstrate these teachings.
Do not wait until to-moorrow, but begin to-day. the only time you really have at your disposal is the present moment.'

He talks about the Law of Physics and I agree. Action creates emotion. The foundation for anyones success is when you find that you can rely on yourself. Now go out and sieze this very minute!

The secret of Money

The Babylonian secret says pay yourself first. Take 10% of your income and save it in your name. The miracle is you will be able to live wonderfully with 90% and this 10% keeps increasing giving you a big leap into the future. I say put away 10% plus one so the 1% can compound. Example: put away $101.00. The $1.00 is the start of the next $100.00.
Now there is a bigger secret. Never take out a loan not even for yourself. You never take out a loan to pay a loan unless you want to go deeper in debt.
Be wise who you give your money to. Whenever someone asks for money find out all the details of why they want the money. If you are not convinced REFUSE money without guilt or ill feeling. If you find their case genuine ask them to come back after a few days or hours. Delay the giving.(Sometimes during the delay they find the money without including you.) Give less than what they asked for and most important ask for a re-payment schedule and follow it up regularly. Remember it is YOUR money and you are not a charity.
If you do decide to give a loan get it in writing, communicate clearly and make sure you both have an understanding about the re-payment of the loan, give it joyfully and your relationship will not suffer.

'Your Beliefs become your Biology'

What is your inward vision about yourself? The people with whom you have chosen to surround yourself with are an indication of how you FEEL about yourself. Think about it. These are the people you feel most comfortable with or the one's you can tolerate.Your perception about yourself is built on these relationships.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs are physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs and finally self actualization. Our basic needs will always be met, food, shelter and clothing. Animals don't worry about where they will sleep or find their next meal and we should TRUST that we will always be taken care of.
How we are in our relationships effects our social needs (being loved, accepted and acknowledged) which in turn effects our self esteem. If you say to yourself 'Nobody loves me', 'I'm a failure', 'Why does this always happen to me' or you are constantly ill that is you preventing yourself from gratification and settling for mediocrity. Preventing gratification makes us ill or causes us to act evilly. Your beliefs become your biology and are the cause of misfortune. We start to cover the real person, we sabotage our true potential, we continue to chose relationships that make us miserable, we are in poverty, the world is a horrible place.
Change the action, change the belief. How? First choose to make the decision to do so with values that are aligned with your head, heart and body so that you are able to FEEL like the new person you want to become. Your values are not to be compromised and will be your guide that will change the environment where you live, work and your future relationships. You will be given a new energy that can accelerate you towards self actualization

'The Circle of Powerful Relationships'

'Birds of a feather flock together.' How often have you heard or used that phrase yourself? You attract who you are and where you are emotionally, physically and financially into your life. Do you have a friend, family member or perhaps even yourself repeatedly having the same relationships over and over that are possibly not the best and wonder 'Why does this keep happening to me?' I hate to break it to you but you created it.
In the beginning your parents were your first contact and throughout childhood, your teachers, family members, friends etc. gave you certain beliefs/feelings about yourself and you developed relationships with others based on your experiences. As an adult your choice for a significant other, work colleges, friends were a reflection of your present beliefs/feelings about yourself that you have brought with you from your past relationships. You can change this because remember everything is by choice.
In this exercise you will list (7) people with whom you come in constant contact with on a daily basis. Who are they? Describe them. What is their occupation? On an emotional scale are they for the most part positive and fun to be around or are they pessimistic and your walking on egg shells? Where are they financially? Are they prosperity conscious or in poverty consciousness? Do they exercise or are they the weekend athlete with the remote? Are they well groomed or look like they slept under the car? How do they contribute in the community? or are they always looking for handouts?
This is the 'circle' of relationships you have attracted into your life up to now and possibly this will be your world ten years from now. Isn't that an eye opener? It is neither good or bad but it will bring an awareness of where you are in the present moment. If you feel comfortable with this picture great but if you are getting knots in your stomach and a headache well that is your 'gut feeling' telling you that some changes need to be addressed and immediately.
To have success towards your self improvement it is important to surround yourself with individuals who will empower you, whose values correlate with yours. It is a mutual contract that you offer other's the same without losing your light. Avoid those who drain you of your time, money and energy. You are not a sacrificial goat. When you go through change you will be able to identify those who will run along side of you and those who will try to tear you down. It is not your fault. You are just reminding them what they are not doing themselves. But it is your fault if you keep them too close. Love them and keep them at a distance. Build a 'circle' of powerful relationships.

Time

The clock of life is wound but once
And no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop
On what day - or what hour
Now is the only time you have so live it with a will
Don't wait until tomorrow
The hands may then be still.

There is no better time then now.

Nothing happens if...

There's no difference between a pessimist who says, 'Oh, it's hopeless, so don't bother doing anything,' and a optimist who says, 'Don't bother doing anything, it's going to turn out fine anyway.' Either way, nothing happens.

- Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia

Five reasons to celebrate

Five reasons why you should celebrate whenever you can.

1) Life is too short not to celebrate.

2) Anticipation of a celebration will motivate you when things look difficult.

3) Celebrations help you to lock your successes into memory.

4) A celebration marks the end of an era, so it helps prepare for the next era.

5) It is a nice way to share your success.



If you do not celebrate your successes, what can you celebrate?

Not You

'Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.'
