Life is so Temporary – Live Your Destiny Now Before It’s Too Late

“For we were born yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.” (Job 8:9)

Does it ever seem like life is just slipping past you quickly.  I know it is for me.  It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I was a child.  I remember that I couldn’t wait until I graduated from High School so I could be on my own.  Then I was married and had kids.  Then the days just kept creepy onward and the kids were grown and gone.  Now I have three grandchildren.  I will soon be 60 years old and I ask myself everyday, “Where did the time go?”

There is a new movement, fueled by years of scientific research, that makes us believe that we can live to be 150 or beyond.  Some people even think that we could live 700 or 800 years making us almost immortal.  I must admit that it sounds tempting.  In fact, my husband and I are on some of the strongest anti-aging products on the planet.  The truth is, we will not live forever.  Biblically the life of man is only 120 years.  Try as they may, I doubt they will find a way for us to live much past that.

Like I said, my husband and I are taking some of the most powerful anti-aging products on the planet.  They make us look and feel younger.  We do this to live healthier lives, as we grow older not to outlive the years that God gives us.  We know that when our days are over we will go on to a better place, on prepared for us by God.

The whole idea on this earth is not to try and live as many days as we can but to make those days count.  The people that make their days count are the people that solve the biggest problems.  The bigger the problem you solve the more impact you have on the planet.  Steve Jobs and Bill Gates became so rich and famous because they solved the issue of how to use the new personal computers when they first came out. They made them user friendly and made the PC a household item. 

I will be 60 very soon and I am dedicating the rest of my life to solving an issue.  I want to help as many people as possible reach their personal goals by helping them develop those goals, having the finances to achieve those goals, and having the health to live the best life possible to achieve their dreams.

Your Purpose Doesn’t Start with You

“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” Bertrand Russell, Atheist

So many times when we want to describe the purpose for our lives the first thing we want to do in this very consumer driven Western World is talk about all the things we can accumulate.  We want a bigger house, a better car, a boat (totally useless in the Desert Southwest), and accumulation of more and more stuff.  Remember when closets used to be hooks on our walls.  Now we have closets the size of whole rooms and they still don’t accommodate all of our stuff.  That’s not what purpose is all about.

Purpose is about something bigger than you are.  Your life is far bigger than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness.  If you want to know why God placed you on this planet you must begin with God.  Even the atheist’s believe that.

The search for significance has puzzled people for many years, thousands in fact.  The reason is we begin at the wrong point.  We begin with ourselves.  We ask ourselves what makes us happy, what do we want to be.  Focusing on ourselves will never bring us to our life’s purpose.   The search for stuff will always leave us unfulfilled.  We get the stuff and it makes us happy for a while, then we have to buy more stuff to make us happy again.  It’s a vicious cycle that never ends. 

“We were made my God and until we understand that, life will never make sense.”  Rich Warren  I do love people like Tony Robins and others that have sacrificed their lives to help others in the “self-help” industries.  However, we don’t need self-help we need self sacrifice. 

How can you know that you are living God’s will for your life?

How do we know if we are living God’s will for our life?  That can be difficult to figure out.  One thing that I know is that it doesn’t start with the focus on ourselves, it starts with self sacrifice.  If the thing that you have in your heart to do has to do with helping others in some way then it’s probably the one thing that God wants you to do.  But if you want to really know what your purpose or destiny is the best thing that you can do is ask Him.  He will tell you why He put you here.  I don’t think that He wishes you to remain in darkness about what he wants you to do.  Remember, “All things were created through Him and for Him.”  (Col 1:16)  If you want to know why you were created, go to the maker.

If you would like help knowing why you were put on this earth I would love to talk to you about it.  Go to www.incredibletransformation.com give me your information and we can talk more.

Three Things that you Need to Live Your Purpose and Destiny

Why are you here?   Do you know?  Everyone and everything exists for a purpose.  What’s your reason for existence?  Every creature great and small has a purpose for being here.  With humans it seems to be more complicated.  Animals have instincts.  They instinctually know what they were put here and they do there utmost to carry out their mission.  Humans have reasoning.  Many times we reason ourselves out of our purpose and destiny.  It’s too difficult, everyone is against me, I don’t have the money, I don’t have the skill.  All of these excuses will be the things that talk you out of doing the thing that God put you on the planet to accomplish.

There are three things, however, that you need to accomplish your God given purpose.  Well, there are probably more than that, but here are three that I can think of.

1.     You need someone to help you along they way.  It is so difficult to accomplish your dreams and passions because of the many things the get in the way.  Our friends, our church, and or brains seem to either help us or hurt us.  Many people are dream stealers.  For some reason, mostly what is inside their brains, they don’t want to see you succeed.  It’s so important to have someone on your side.  You need a mentor or a coach to lift you up and let you know that they are here for you when things get rough.  You need someone from the outside telling you what you are doing right and what you can improve upon.

2.     You need finances.  So many times our dreams and passion are delayed or completely destroyed because we don’t have the finances to accomplish the exact thing that God wants for us.  We are ostracized many times for wanting to do something out of the ordinary.  We have to fit in.  That means we get a job and then we use our passion as a hobby.  If we would pursue our passion then the money would come.  There are also financial plans available that will also fuel your passion without a job.

3.     You need your health.  Health issues are becoming more and more prevalent in today’s society.  Obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart problems, and a whole host of issues are on the increase in a world where our food supply has become nothing more than manufactured chemicals.  We need to have our health to accomplish our dreams.  That’s all there is to it.  Imagine going to Africa and requiring dialysis.  It just won’t happen.

There is a simply way to have all of the three essentials for living your dream and your purpose.  If you really want to accomplish something great in your life go here and let’s talk about your dreams and visions. 

Do you Think you Have no Reason for Being – But Everyone and Everything Has a Reason for Being

Rattle snakes!!  I live in the Southwest Desert of New Mexico.  We seem to be surrounded by them and they are very frightening.  Many people run for cover when they see one.  However, the benefits of a rattlesnake far outweigh their danger.  They are very much needed for controlling rodent-borne diseases, which are very dangerous to humans.  The bite of a rattlesnake isn’t all that dangerous and only 1% of anyone bitten by a snake is ever killed.  Even rattlesnakes have a reason for being.  They know why they exist but do you know why you exist?

WHY ARE YOU HERE

If a low order of being like a rattlesnake knows why they exist why is it so difficult for a human to find out their reason for being?  I believe we are all born knowing why we exist but we are programmed by life NOT to pursue our true purpose.  Think about it.  When you were a kid you probably remember that the boys wanted to be a fireman or a policeman.  The girls wanted to be teachers or nurses.  Now days the lines of occupation are nonexistent so both boys and girls can be anything they want to be.  But all of those occupations have to do with helping others.  I know I wanted to become a doctor when I was growing up.   I wanted to be a nurse, a doctor, or a teacher. 

What do all of those occupations have in common?  They are all about helping people.  I love to help people.  I wanted to be a teacher because I love to teach others how to improve their life.  However, life got in the way of my dreams and I never became the doctor, nurse, or teacher.  I have coached people in weight loss and been a leader in Toastmasters because I can’t get away from the need to lead and teach.  It’s in me.  I have to do it no matter what. 

What is in you?  Think back.  What was that childhood dream that has gone by the wayside because life got in the way?  Are you miserable because you have never been able to pursue that dream?  What stands in your way? 

HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE YOUR PASSION?

Perhaps it is money.  Do you need money to pursue you passion and find your reason for being?  Why not start a business in order to have the funds necessary to pursue your reason for being?  So many people just stay stuck and will not do anything in order to pursue their reason for being.  Start now, don’t put it off, the world needs you.

Network Marketing, The Seven Deadly Sins of Network Marketing

So you just joined a Network Marketing company.  Now you want to be successful.  There are certain things that you can do to be successful, but what can you do to totally kill your chances at becoming a success in Network Marketing.  According to Eric Worre, a very successful network marketer, here are the 7 deadly sins in Network Marketing.

1.    Over-inflating your product or your opportunity.  The truth is enough.  Maybe you believe that your product is the very best and you start embellishing the results of you product.  You start telling others that it will cure all diseases when that isn’t true.  Also, you over-inflate the results you have had with the compensation.   Just be truthful, that’s enough

2.    Inconsistency.  You can’t run hot and cold.  You have to be consistent in your efforts and then you will fail.  Not only that any team you build will not follow you if you are inconsistent.

3.    Negativity.  Have you ever been around anyone that is negative all the time?  Do you like it?  That’s what it feels like when you start talking negatively about your upline, your company or the Network Marketing industry as a whole.  You need a positive attitude because a negative attitude will crush your organization al together.

4.    Being unstable.  The “idea of the week.”  You need to be stable in your organization.  Don’t tell your organization one week that you are going to do one thing and then do something different the next.  The people in your organization will not follow you after awhile.  They will just give up.

5.    Sleeping around.  Why you do outside of you organization is one thing, but what you do inside your organization can kill it.  If you are married you need to stay faithful to that person.  If you aren’t don’t start sleeping with everyone of the opposite sex that’s in your organization.  Your reputation or lack of it will kill your organization.

6.    Stealing distributors.  Whether with good or bad intentions if your know someone who is happy in their organization, don’t steel them and bring them to your organization.  It just isn’t professional.  You’re a peer, not a predator.

7.    Bouncing from company to company.  Decide to sink your roots deep.  There are times when you need to make a move, but if you are with a great company, just stay with it and build your reputation in that company.  Don’t be the person that changes every couple of year.

Mistakes are inevitable, you will always make mistakes, but you need to stay away from these seven deadly mistakes that will kill your Network Marketing company.  Stick with it, be consistent and you will be successful in your company.

Passive Income Can Be Difficult, How to Make the Most of your Mistakes When Starting a Passive Income Business

When you start any venture it can be difficult, especially when it comes to starting a business where you get passive income.  Passive income is the best kind of income to make but it is difficult at best to achieve.  There is a high failure rate when it comes to making passive income.  Could it be because if the way people handle their failure.  Failure is actually good for success, but we have to be able the handle it and learn from it.

We must examine our failures with an eye toward future success.  Reflective thinking is a way that we can reflect on our failures and push ourselves forward.  We can always get better, and reflective thinking is a way to do that.

Here are five steps to a reflective thinking technique that I found by John Maxwell.

1.    Review, Look back at the events of your past.  Set aside time when you have failed to review what happened.  What caused you to fail and how did you learn from that mistake.

2.    Reflect, Have a place where you can think about what worked and what didn’t.  Examine it in more detail.  What plans worked?  What decision yielded good results?  What decision ended up being wrong?  If I were to approach the situation again, how would I do it differently?

3.    Recover, When things don’t turn out as planned you need time to recover.  Everyone makes mistakes.  Letting yourself feel bad for a short time can motivate you to fix what needs to be fixed.  Don’t stay there though you have to move on.

4.     Rearrange, Get clarity about your priorities.  Now that you have failed, decide which way you should go and start down a new track.

5.    Recharge, Dwelling on the past with an eye toward the future allows you to rebound.  It often reveals the humor in a situation.  Go ahead a laugh at yourself.  Get going again and work toward avoiding previous mistakes.

Reflection can be a time of excitement and creativity.   It’s a chance to brainstorm about the future and what it could be like.  It inspires you t continue improving.  It keeps you progressing as an individual and as a leader.  So reflect on your mistakes just long enough to shape your future in positive ways.  You can become successful in your passive income venture if you just never give up.

Mental Blocks, Do You Recognize These 10 Mental Blocks to Creative Thinking?

Creative thinking is necessary in many cases.  Whether your trying to solve a tough problem, start a business, or write an article creative thinking is critical.  People need to “think outside the box” when it comes to creative thinking.  We are such creatures of habit.  We don’t like to think differently than others because we don’t want to be thought of as strange or different.  But it’s those strange and different people that make a difference in this world.

Here is a list of 10 metal blocks that will keep you from being creative.

1.    Trying to Find the “right” answer. One of the worst aspects of formal education is we have been taught to find the right answer.  In real life there may be more than one right answer.  Many of us form mental blocks when looking for the right answer when more than one answer is available.

2.    Logical Thinking.  Not only is there more than one right answer, life can be very illogical.  If you are a logical thinker it is a mental block to your creativity.  Think in metaphors and it will help you communicate the illogical things of life.

3.    Following Rules.  Rules are very important at times, but they can also be a destructive force and a mental block to creativity.  People don’t like to think outside the rules.  Many celebrate the rebels of life but few are brave enough to emulate them.

4.    Being Practical.  I am a very practical person.  I will not do something if it doesn’t have a practical use.  This is good sometimes but it can also be a mental block to creativity.  Try to approach a problem with “what if” and go out and do the crazy thing instead of being so practical.

5.    Play is not work.  Allowing your mind to be at play is perhaps the most effective way to stimulate creative thinking.  Most people, however, disassociate play from work.  You’ve heard the expression “work hard and play hard.”  All you have to do as a creative thinker is realize they are the same thing.

6.    That’s no my job.  We live in a very specialized world it is so easy for us to think, “that’s not my job.”  When you are in business for yourself and getting those creative juices flowing everything is your job.

7.    Being a “serious” person.  I am a very serious person.  Sometimes it is a mental block for me.  I get too serious and I’m not able to think.  If you have to take on the persona of a fool to be creative, then do it.

8.    Avoid Ambiguity.  We are all ambiguous to some degree.  However, we want to divide complex situation into black and white boxes.  This can lead to disaster.  It’s an innate characteristic of the human psychology to desire certainty, but it’s the creative thinker who rejects the false comfort of clarity when it’s not really appropriate. 

9.    Being wrong is bad.  Because of the way we are taught in school, we hate being wrong.  Thomas Edison was wrong 1,800 times before getting the light bulb right.  The best thing we can do is learn from our mistakes.  But we let being wrong become a mental block and we don’t learn from the mistakes we make.  Ask yourself, what can happen if I’m wrong?  Not much.  But great things can happen if you dare to be wrong and learn from your mistakes.

10. I’m not creative.  You are denying that you are human if you deny that you are creative.  We’re all limitlessly creative, but only to the extent that we realize it.  Stop telling yourself that you aren’t creative.  It’s a lie.

Of you want to have success in your life you need to overcome the mental blocks that keep you from that success.  Being a creative thinker is one sure way to success.

In order to become a success you need to get over the mindset that is blocking your potential.
