Lost Your Focus — or Your Hope?

In just a few weeks we’ll be entering the fourth quarter of the year and many of us have lost focus on the goals we set during January.

It’s always hard to keep your eye on the ball for the entire year, but this year has been even more challenging than most for many people.

Well there’s still hope. In fact, the 90 days we have in the fourth quarter (beginning October 1) is more than enough time to achieve some pretty incredible results. Stop and think about it:

90 days is usually plenty of time to see a significant result from a weight loss plan. Most businesses are launched during a 90-day period and many, many books are written in 90 days. In fact, Napoleon Hill wrote the classic Think and Grow Rich in under 90 days.

Our four seasons are 90 days apart. You can go from the harshest of Winter to the overflowing, abundant life of Spring in just 90 days. Most of our agricultural crops have a 90-day growing period. From seed to harvest in 90 days. It works with plants…and it works with dreams and goals.

Does that give you some hope that you might have a shot at turning this year around in the next few months?

Are You Living by Design?

Are you living life by chance or by design? Living by design takes a few simple but neglected steps including purpose, discipline, and one other…

In order to take the first steps towards living by design, you first need to create a purpose for yourself. Find the “why” for you. When you keep the “why” before you, decisions become straightforward. Zig Ziglar, in his great audio program called “Goals,” gives us two questions to ask as we make choices:

1.)   Is it morally right and fair to everyone involved?

2.)   Does it get me closer or further from my primary objective?

With a clear, created purpose and these questions, life becomes clear and you will know the direction you are moving. It’s up to you to find and achieve your best and highest calling. Will you do it? Read the rest of this entry

Peoples Greatest Enemy

Outside of being our own worst enemy at times, it is said that people’s greatest enemy is fear. Fear is behind failure, sickness and poor human relations. Millions of people are afraid of the past, the future, old age, insanity, and death. But fear is a thought in your mind. This means that you are afraid of your own thoughts.

A small child can be paralyzed with fear when a friend or sibling says there is a monster under the bed who will grab him in the night. But when the parents turn on the lights and show him there is no monster, he is freed from fear. The fear in the mind of the child was every bit as real as if there were really a monster there. He was healed of a false thought in his mind. The thing he feared did not exist.

In the same way, most of our fears have no reality. They are merely a conglomeration of sinister shadows, and shadows have no reality.

Step outside of your fear and let faith take you to a new level. Even if you’ve failed at something in the past it doesn’t mean you need to stop trying. Failure is natures way of building lasting success and you were not created to live in fear but live life in the creative where fear has no place.

You are a champion! Now make it a fearless great day!

Hi Friends,

I received this email the other day and it really resonated with me because I share the same thoughts and ideas when it comes to life and how to obtain our desires while still having peace in a troubled economy.

I love to build others up until they have the same mindset that has set me free from fear, doubt, worry and anxiety to living the life I want, when i want and how I want. No more working to make another man rich unless I’m pouring in to him what he needs to become rich on his own. To me that is not work, that is passion.

Enjoy the post below and believe in yourself. I believe in you!
