CELEBRATE LIFE NOW: How to Enjoy Life to the Fullest

By Darcy Keith

As I’m typing my thoughts, I am watching my daughter play outside games with her neighborhood friends. First, they played a made-up game of throwing a ball though hula-hoops. Next, it was bouncing a ball in the middle of the hula-hoop, which had a number point value scribbled with pink sidewalk chalk in the center. How fun it is to watch the girls, aged five to eleven, improvise with the items they have, which were six hula-hoops and five balls of various sizes. I’m amazed at how quickly the girls can switch from game to game, making new rules, and having fun.

Watching their excitement, giggles, and negotiation skills reminds me of some of the aspects of life that we sometimes don’t. We don’t celebrate life. Each day, we should celebrate life. No, I’m not talking about living irresponsibly, but enjoy every day given to us. For the past week, my daughter asks me what special thing we are going to do that day. Sometimes, she just wants to go outside and play catch or take a family bike ride to the park. Other times, it’s just sitting down to watch a movie with hot, buttered popcorn, and a glass of soda.

My husband and I try our best to enjoy every day with her by celebrating life and the time we have together. I remember when our daughter was born. Family and friends visited us to celebrate her birth and see our new family addition. Because in the first year of life she changed physically so much, we celebrated each stage by having her picture taken every month. Videos and pictures were taken at holidays, special events, family gatherings, and various times to capture her innocent, curious, happy personality.

I must admit, however, that sometimes I wish life away. One of the bedtime rituals that I do every night when I put my daughter to bed is that we pray together, I sing a bedtime lullaby that I have sung every night since she was born, we tell each other “I love you”, and I start playing her favorite CD as she drifts off to sleep. There are several times that I would have liked to just kiss her goodnight after we prayed and go back to whatever I was doing.

But when I hesitate, I remind myself of the joy I get from celebrating her life and how, when she gets older, I won’t be needed as much to tuck her in. I celebrate the moment, right here and now. Though there are things in our life to make it easier, how it is that we are busier than ever? Why do we jam-pack our lives with more activities? What are you doing in your life that will cause you to stop and celebrate it? Is it reading that book for the tenth time to your child so that they can enjoy the story? Is it taking time to read a book that you’ve put off and say that you’ll get to it later? What about that diet that you promised yourself that you would start today?

Here are five thoughts to help you celebrate life now:

1. Start everyday with a positive attitude.

2. Take a moment to notice the vibrant color of flowers, the colorful fall leaves, the glistening white snow, or enjoy the sound of the rain while you doze off to sleep in your warm bed.

3. Reflect on the positive things in your life.

4. Tell that special person you love them.

5. Find joy in the everyday things that we take for granted.

Celebrate life to the fullest…now!

Have you ever asked yourself:

1. Why do some ignorant people become wealthy while many brilliant people remain poor?

2. Why do many people work very hard and are broke while a few work effortlessly and earn millions?

If you’re like me, you’ve spent the better part of your life trying to figure out how to create more income. Maybe not billions or even millions of dollars, but most everyone I know would like to provide more for their family and security for themselves.

I can’t count the number of books I’ve read on the subject or the dollars I’ve spent on audio tapes, CDs and seminars. I’ve been confused when two apparently credible teachers gave conflicting advice. I’ve been frustrated and distraught when I seemingly followed step by step the teachings of the latest guru only to fail miserably. I’ve been discouraged and depressed when it appeared that I’d never find the true means to achieve what I sought for me and my family.

To finally discover a method of creating wealth that was based on precise scientific laws and eternal truths was literally a dream come true.

For years I studied Gods Word and was taught from the pulpit various teachings on success but it was never conveyed in the proper format.

It all started with a program Bob Proctor introduced me to, but more on that in a minute.

The back story, as it were, is just as interesting. Because Australian filmmaker Rhonda Byrne was so influenced by the very same teaching that changed my life, that she conceived of and then produced the mega-successful DVD and subsequent book of “The Secret.”

It’s all based on a “little green book” that’s more than 100 years old (no, it’s not “As A Man Thinketh,” but you’ll see many of the same principles at work).

There are many teachers, philosophers, preachers and prophets who disagree on many subjects but on this one very principle, “You become what you think.”

If you’re tired of trying to figure it all out and you’re looking for some concrete answers on just how to obtain the life you’ve always wanted, then head over HERE and jump in to the lessons ASAP! You will not be disappointed and you will start seeing results in your life and the way you think immediately.

P.S. Stop and think about it. If there’s a science for just about everything in the world you can think of, then why shouldn’t there be a science for getting rich. That was the first thought I had after I listened to my first lesson. And I can’t begin to tell you how excited I got after I realized that not only was that true — but I had been handed the exact formula that the science was based on. Can I pass the formula on to you?

**I’m not here to sell you ANYTHING or RECRUIT you in to my business… It’s much bigger than that**

But don’t take my word for it.

It’s a sad thing.

The MLM industry isn’t what it used to be. Sure, there are few top earners making the good money but is it really your best choice for a stable financial future?

That’s what I’m going to discuss with you here.

You will see the pros and cons going on today which I hope will cause you to make the right choice.

So what is really going on?

Well, simply put, the promises of old school MLM and long time residual income are all but dead for the average Joe.. or Joanne for the ladies.

The MLM business model used to be based on the idea that one could work for 2-5 year and retire in style. An organization is something that could be handed down to generations if worked properly.

That’s is not the case any longer.

Of course there is money to be made these days in MLM but the downfall is that it’s not going to last very long, as most distributors find their business shrinking just as fast as it was growing.

The average distributor quits within 60 to 120 days.

For the majority, that is hardly worth the effort for the small commissions the MLM companies are paying out.

Because their comp plans are so largely spread out, we are barely paid on our own efforts.

The average MLM company pays out $25-$75 as a “quick start” for each new rep you sponsor.

…and guess what? They quit in 4 months, or less!

Is that even worth our hard work, blood, sweat and tears?

Is it worth the constant whining and hand-holding?

Absolutely not!

Sadly, in today Internet age, new MLM reps will continue to bail just as quickly as they signed up thanks to all the ridiculous advertising flaunted all over the web, including on your company’s own search engine results.

Today’s competition is brutal to say the least.

And trying to advertise ourselves simply isn’t an option, as the advertising cost to sponsor a new rep continues to skyrocket upward while the life time value of that distributor continues to decline.

It appears the opportunity in MLM just isn’t what it used to be.

I bet that explains why many of the top MLM leaders and new emerging leaders are leaving the industry in favor of a powerful concept called G.P.T.

G.P.T. is not a company, it’s not an business opportunity, and it’s not a product, service or system of any kind.

It’s an answer. A solution to tiny checks, leaking downlines, and the “quick-turn” mentality that has taken over MLM.

Although, MLM is still a very popular business model, it seems to have less and less appeal to blue collar professionals who can’t see themselves peddling vitamins and potions to replace a six-figure income.

As for G.P.T., it is sure to play a major role in networking from this point forward.

I’ve been wondering just what it is I’m looking for in myself and as a model for my business. Being a successful entrepreneur and having spent some time around some self made internet millionaires, I know what is I do and do not want to be like.

I believe to be truly successful, the first thing to prosper should be inside of ourselves and to realize we came in to this world naked, broke, bloody and screamin’ our little heads off and for the most part we will exit the same way…well hopefully not bloody and screaming but naked for sure and what we have built up will be left behind.

It is my mission to reach those I’m called to reach and no one else. I don’t need to be concerned about those I’m not called to reach in this life as they will have someone else reach them. I will do all I can to model what I teach and I will:

• Meet each person at their need and do my best to meet that need.

• Warn the rich people of this world not to be proud or to trust in wealth that is easily lost as we’ve seen so many times in the past.

• I will inform the rich and everyone else I work with to have faith in God who is rich and blesses us with everything we need to enjoy life. This does not have to be the God I choose to trust in and I will never force my beliefs on anyone. I just want each person to THINK BIG!

• Instruct them to do as many good deeds as they can and to help everyone because there is no greater feeling than doing something for someone else unconditionally. This is true Magnetic Sponsoring in any area of life.

• Remind the rich to be generous and share what they have. By doing so they are guaranteed to always have an abundance of what they give. You cannot out give God or the Universe as it is the Law of Giving and Receiving.

By following these basic principles it will lay a solid foundation for your future, so that you will know what living a truly rewarding life is all about.

Committed to Your Success,
