Take II - My Midlife Awakening

I know my posts have been few and far between on this blog lately but I have been asked to write an article for Rosa Say's Talking Story Blog to be included in her Joyful Jubilant Learning Forum 2006. 

My story kind of tells you why I haven't been posting much lately.  If you care to know you can read it here.

Take a minute to go on over and check it out.  There were 26 other authors that each wrote a post for the forum this month and they are all excellent. 

Have an awesome day!

Don't Quit

I found a great peom online today that fits right with my post on Monday.  The poem is called Don't Quit and I found it at the Out of Bounds Blog.  I know I have seen it before and I appreciate finding it again.

Take a minute to go read it now.

Have an awesome day!

You can achieve it!

No matter what it is that you want, you can achieve it.  I was thinking about this some more the other day and it dawned on my that we really can have whatever we want.  There is no limit to what the universe can bring to us.  If anyone else has been able to be, do or have something then we can have it too.  Anything is possible.

I think the problem lies in our own beliefs and actions.  Sometimes we really want something but don't believe we can have it or deserve it.  Maybe we feel like only the smart people or only the beautiful people deserve it.  That simply isn't true.

Other times we just don't stick with it long enough to see the fruits of our thoughts and labors.  I know this has happened to me before, on more than one occasion.  I get started on a project and then something happens to discourage me and I give up and start something new.  I didn't even give the first idea a chance.

I have learned from this lesson.  I now have two primary projects that I am working on and will continue to do so until I see the fruit I am looking for.

Take a look at your own life.  Have there been times when you gave up too soon?  Have you had the thoughts that you don't deserve to be wealthy or to be with the perfect mate.  Only you can change those thoughts.  Begin right now where you are.  Take note of the circumstances in your life so you can refer back to them a year from now.

You can achieve it!

Have an awesome day!

Expecting a Miracle

When we were in Kansas City a couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of having dinner with John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing fame along with his wife and a dozen other people there for the weekend to learn to be Authorized Duct Tape Marketing Coaches.

One of the things that John said at dinner was that every day when he wakes up he expects a miracle.  That has stuck in my mind since I heard it.  It is a fantastic way to look at life.  It sets in motion the Law of Attraction and actually brings about the miracle that you are expecting.

Since we got back I have been focusing on this thought each morning - "God, what kind of miracle do you have for me today?"

Let me tell you that he hasn't let me down.  Each day something has happened that I totally didn't expect.  People are calling me out of the blue to buy software.  Deals that I thought were dead came back to life.  People are calling for upgrades each and every day.  All of this in a time that is traditionally pretty slow in our industry.

Try it for yourself.  Wake up each day expecting a miracle and when something happens be sure and write it down and give thanks for it.  You have just experienced a miracle!

Have an awesome day!

8 Practices to Better Manifestation

This morning I read a post over at StevePavlina.com called Disciplining Your Mind to Become Better at Manifesting.  In this article Steve explains eight practices he uses to control his mind and improve his ability to manifest the desires of his heart.  Take a minute to read the article now.  He is much better at explaining these practices than I could be.

Steve is clearly a student of the Law of Attraction.  Many of his thoughts and practices appear to be directly related to those of Abraham-Hicks.  As I have mentioned before, my wife and I learned of Abraham-Hicks about a year ago and it has transformed our lives.  We have improved relationships, made more money, and improved our health all as a result of focusing our attention on the things we want and not on the things we don't want.

Take some time right now to go read Steve's article.  It really can change your life.

Have an awesome day!

If You're Going Through Hell...

I heard a new song recently that I really enjoyed.  It is called If You're Going Through Hell by Rodney Atkins.  Here is the chorus:

If you're going through hell
Keep on going, Don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the Devil even knows you're there.

What this song says to me is that if you are having a hard time keep pressing through it.  You will come out the other side just fine.  Concentrate on the goal you have in mind and keep focused on it and you will achieve it.

If you would like to see the rest of the lyrics they are here.
If you want to listen to the song you will have to find it at itunes or yahoo! music because they took the song file off of Rodney's new web site for some reason.

Have an awesome day!

Focus on one thing and do it well.

It became painfully obvious to me last week that I have too many balls in the air right now.  Although I enjoy doing all of the things I do, I realize that I just can't do them all and do them well.

It's important to ask yourself from time to time if what you are doing is getting you the results you desire.  If not, it's time to make some changes.

So, instead of having all the balls go tumbling to the ground, I am just going to gently lay some of them down.  The projects I am going to set aside for now are this Prosperity blog, the Daily Choices blog and The Prosperous Times Newsletter.

From this point forward I am actually going to focus on two things, my job as a software salesperson and our latest project, Holistic Healthcare Marketing Specialists, a marketing company we created to help providers of Complementary and Alternative Medicine promote their services.

I know that I will never realize the long-term wealth that I desire working for someone else.  I believe that the best way to achieve great wealth is to own your own company, whatever your field of expertise.  I know the owner of the company I work for realizes that too.

I will keep the blogs online because I really do want to get back to them and I may post from time to time on the Prosperity blog, but I'm not going to pressure myself to do it.

I want to thank each and every one of you for reading and I wish you every success you can imagine!

Have an awesome day!

Open Your Mind

There are a lot of brilliant people in the world.  I have been fortunate enough to meet some of them through their blogs and I've even had the pleasure of meeting several of them in person.

I am continually learning from each and every one of them.  They don't always believe the same things I do, or think the same way I do, but that is the best part.

Each and every one of us is unique.  We have our own unique experiences that color the way we think and feel and act.  It's important that we recognize this and respect it.

Not only that, but we need to be open to what other people think in order to simply gain a different perspective.  Many times I have been in situations where another person's point of view really shed some light on an issue that I had been dealing with.

There is a group of people from the Ho'ohana Online Community listed down the right side of this page that have actually put together a blog called Never Work Alone in order to give you a different perspective.  You can submit questions that you may have about management and leadership issues and they will review the questions, submit it to their Google Group and post a summary on the blog each week.

So, stay open minded.  Actually seek input from others when you are having a challenge.  They just may have the answer you've been looking for.

Have an awesome day!

Focus on the Good in People

Today's post is also on our Daily Choices blog today.  It is so good that I want to make sure that as many people as possible see it.

It is a proven fact that you get what you are focused on.  This is based on the Law of Attraction.  Whatever you focus your attention on is what you will attract to yourself.

This is especially true when it comes to other people.  When you focus on the good and pleasant qualities in a person, that is what you will experience.  If you focus on the bad qualities in a person, that is what you will experience.

Try it for yourself.  Concentrate today on only the qualities that you like in a person and ignore the bad qualities and see if that person doesn't treat you just a little bit better.

Have an awesome day!
