What Are You Giving Your Power To?

Where attention goes power flows! What are you giving your attention to? Give your attention and focus to the things in your life today that you enjoy, that you appreciate, and love. Don’t give any attention or pay any mind (invest) to anything you don’t want to show up in your life. If something doesn’t go your way, let it be, and look for the good thing that came out of the situation. You can never change anything for the better by constantly complaining about something. However, you can change many things by changing your view of those things and seeing them in a totally different way.

The power is held within you, and you choose what to give your power to. If you give your power to things that are irrelevant to you enjoying life, then you will be irritated. Learn to bring the focus back to were it should be, your power is within you. Trying to fix everything because you don’t like it, is only going to make things worse. Fix the thought patterns within you by becoming that positive person with a positive view and purpose. The life that comes surrounds you comes from what goes on within you.

The Way Out And In

God is the only way out of your problems. He is also the only way to get into your destiny. Everybody here on this earth has a purpose. It is up to us to be willing to live that purpose or not. Most never even know what there purpose is, because they are so busy shining the light on all of their problems rather than giving their focus to something that could better them. Once you find your purpose or destiny, it won’ t be something you don’t want to do. That is a false misconception that many have about seeking God to find their purpose. God placed us all here for a reason. We are here to enjoy life, and live it in abundance.

People need to wake up and start living. Many are giving too much power to the things in life they don’t want. The only one worthy of attention and focus is God. Wake up and realize that God is within you and has always been there. You will never know until you awaken and come to a realization that he does exist. Not only that, but he wants to create within you an abundant life life to live and share with others. So stop living like a weak link and begin now (right now) to wake up and realize just how good God really is.

Do You Have A.D.D.?

Attention Deficit Disorder is where people (usually at a child’s age) are easily distracted. Although there are plenty of adults who unknowingly share the same symptoms. Whenever you set a goal or you have a desire to do anything, you normally plan to do or have it. For the first day it sometimes seem as if you can’t get your mind off of it because you are so excited about it. Then as soon as something you don’t like comes your way you are easily distracted and all of your attention is taken away from your goal. Next thing you know, you are spending all of your time and attention on that thing or things that you don’t want, and at the same time unconsciously bringing more of the same situations and circumstances.

There should be a point where you understand that self discipline is a must. You must learn to master yourself and your life, or something else will master you. You don’t want that. I recommend getting clear on what it is you want to do. Do it right, work at it efficiently by focusing the required attention on that thing you desire until it manifests. Where most people fail is not focusing 100% of their mind on the life they want. They are too busy building up the things they don’t even want.

Concentration exercises are very good for something like this, although I don’t think you would really need it if it were something you really wanted without a doubt in your mind. The person with the worst case of Attention Deficit Disorder could easily focus his attention on something that he really wanted and desired. Most people who are trying to live a life to enjoy need to understand this. The only way this could actually work is to find out what it is you actually want to do. Once you have that, or those things, then you can go about taking the action to receive those things. As you do so, if you really wanted it, there should be no distraction worthy of your attention if you are clear on what you want.

Get clear, know what you want. Make sure that it is something that you really want so that no distraction of negativity will hold you back from getting what you desire. Make it your purpose to live that life you want, and don’t let anyone or anything come in the way of your laser sharp focus on your goal. I told a good friend of mine named Sunny, Founder and Ceo of Desinotes.com about focusing on what you want is just like looking through a magnifying glass. What you focus on grows.

How To Turn On Your Negativity Spam Filter

What is the most annoying, energy draining, dream killing, thing in the world? Negative people. Its not just the people themselves, but its the words they speak and the lifestyle they live that is what causes negativity. I used to try and help people as much as I could by getting them to see things in a much more positive perspective, but it seems like they just won’t listen. Its almost as if they enjoy being negative. Sadly for some this is true. People are in love with their misery. They keep focusing all of their attention on what they don’t want, all of the time. It is understandable though, because for some reason it seems much easier to make a list of the things that we don’t want in our life. However, there is no excuse.

As I was listening to someone complain about their many problems, I noticed that everything I was listening to had an effect on me. Its like listening to relaxing music to relax yourself, or hardcore rock music to give you energy. It sometimes is the same with the conversations you have with other people, and even if you aren’t the one talking. Whatever you listen to the majority of the time has a great effect on you. Whatever the conversation is, it moves you in that particular mood. It is very challenging to be a positive person, when you are always around a negative environment. If you have a bunch of negative friends, and you want to be positive, what do you think you should do? Everybody’s answer will be different, so answer in a way that you feel you should do. However if you choose to stay in that negative environment, you have to really turn up your negativity spam filter.

I came up with the negativity spam filter as a fun way of looking at negative people when they come to attack you, I mean talk to you ;) Learn to block their negativity from getting in your head. Most people let the things they don’t want to hear go through one ear and out the other. I say don’t even let it get inside in the first place! People need to learn to listen to negative people in a way that would help them, not just listening just to listen with no intention of helping the situation. That is like self sabotage whenever you just sit and listen to a negative person. No, listen and gather up ideas for the other person to solve their problems. Don’t take in the negative things they are saying to you, let it go and focus on the solution not the problem.

Fascinating ways to block negativity spam from your head!!!

1. When you are in a conversation with someone, smile the entire time. Whenever they start complaining yell Spam, Spam! Delete!

2. If someone tries to remind you of the negative conversation they had were they complained to you about something, just act as if it never happened and look at them confused. Then say “maybe it was someone else”. If they are sure they were talking to you, say “wait a second, let me check my spam folder, oh, there it is!”

3. Tell a person you can only hear some of the words they are saying because your negativity spam is on. (For some, you won’t hear anything)

4. When a very annoying person comes up, who you know without a doubt complains, whines, and cries about everything, quickly yell “Negativity Spam, Activate!” right before they approach and then sit up and position yourself to listen.

5. This is a way that I’m bringing back from a recent post “Negativity Draining You Energy?” Every time they come around you put your hands over your ears, one day they will get it.

The Secret To Rebuilding Your Credit

The truth is that there is no secret, but responsibility. You have to have self control and discipline to manage your money efficiently. If you want to build credit or rebuild your bad credit, don’t keep misusing the cards. Although the big companies want you to, (that’s how they make money) it doesn’t mean anything. Pay your bills off on time, DO NOT keep paying the minimum balance just to hang in there, because in the end you will still be there, in debt.

Reduce the amount of credit cards you have, there should be no more than two open. This is something I advise to anyone, especially those who are looking to buy a house sometime soon.

Here are some of the many tips to rebuilding your credit.

1. The first step is the most important step. This step alone could lead you in the right direction to your financial freedom. Begin by making a promise to yourself that you are going to pay your credit cards off in an organized and timely manner. It would also be wise to promise others who are of value to you the same promise. By promising that you will do it, you will see much better results than if you had made it a regular goal. Our minds take promises more serious.

2. Keep track of everything that you are spending. Split them up individually from bills, personal, credit cards, etc.

3. With that list figure out what is necessary and what is not. Get rid of anything that is unnecessary, too much of it is probably why most are in debt.

4. Start paying more than the lowest balance on your credit cards. You should work to pay them off rather than just “hanging in there”.

5. Check your credit report every once in a while to make sure that there aren’t any mistakes made. If so, contact whoever is in authority and get those mistakes taken care of, now.

6. Start by paying the most to the cards with the highest interest rate so that they can be the first to go.

7. Don’t buy anything you absolutely don’t need, especially nothing that would put you further in debt. If you see something that looks tempting, remind yourself of your promise not to spend unwisely. Stick to your promise and make it happen.

8. Keep in mind that no matter how much you owe if you want it paid off it will get paid off, only to the extent if you actually want it done. Responsibility starts in the mind. Take control of yourself, and then you will see a difference everywhere esle, including your finances.

How You Treat Others Is How You Treat Yourself

In a recent post You are looking into a mirror, I talk about how your life around you is a direct reflection of what is going on within you. You should know that the way you treat other people is exactly how you treat yourself. You reap what you sow, what goes around comes around, or karma is what many call this. It makes no sense to treat someone with disrespect and then turn around and demand respect from someone else and expect to get it. It just doesn’t work that way. The best way of understanding this is to know that you really are looking into a mirror, and a mirror never lies.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Golden Rule- “Do to others as you would have them do to you”. This is straight from the Bible. What it is telling us is simple, treat everyone the same way you want to be treated. Single people who are looking to get into a relationship to find love are going the wrong way. Instead of trying to find love, you should first become a loving person. Then as you are that loving person, without searching, you will attract to you, that person you truly want deep down inside. That person you attract will be that exact match for you, even if you don’t think so. However the only way it works is if you allow that right person to come to you instead of trying to force it to happen.

We of course all want to live happy, peaceful, and wealthy. The first step as I said earlier is to become that what you want to be. Once you do that successfully, you attract those things to you. What you must keep in mind is that you need to treat people in line with what you desire. If you desire a happy, peaceful lifestyle, then you need to be happy and peaceful and share that with others. You share that with others by treating them in those particular ways you want to be treated, happy and peaceful. The cool part about it, when you treat someone good, they will most likely pass it on to someone else, and so on.

So remember the Golden Rule and treat others the way you would want to be treated. Don’t expect your treatment to come back exactly how you give it from the same person you give it to. You never know, God may want to bless you through someone else. This is were many make the mistake, they give to people, and expect to be magnificently blessed through that same person. When you think and act in that way you are really limiting yourself due to the fact that there could be a large number of others who are waiting to return your treatment. So never put all of your focus on waiting for a certain person to return your blessing to you, just keep busy treating people right and keep it moving.

Debt Free vs Financially Free

There is a large percentage of people in debt these days. It seems as if their main goal is to get out of debt. This is where their mind is the entire time, getting out of debt. When you ask them what do they want, they say “to get out of debt”. Many successful and wealthy people will tell you that they definitely did not get to where they were by having a “get out of debt” mindset.

There is only one way out of debt, and you cant possibly keep thinking about it and expect it to go away. This is where the majority of people make the mistake when attempting to get out of debt. They say thy don’t want to be in debt so much, that it is all they think about. If we know that thoughts become things, real things, then what could you possibly expect to happen to someone who consistently thinks about the same thing? Being in debt vs getting out of debt at the end of the day you are thinking about “debt”. What you focus your attention on grows stronger in your life. You don’t get out of something by thinking about being in it. Expand your limits in your mind and step out to a new level of faith.

When you think debt, regardless of how you word it in your mind, your subconscious looks for the keyword. It picks up on that keyword that you are always thinking and acts on giving you what you think about, or ask for. The key to really getting out of debt is to place all of your focus and attention (-love) on being financially free. Don’t just try not to think small, just think big. Remember losers play not to lose, winners play to win, whats your motive? You get what you think about mostly, how about getting something you actually want?

Some make good suggestions to set up an automatic debt repayment program. The way it works is you set up an automated way of paying your debt and then forget about it. When you do this, you are paying your debt off through an automated program that you set, and you begin to start focusing on financial freedom. As you begin to focus on financial freedom, then you are programming a financial free mindset. This way all you are thinking about is financial freedom, which also means you will most certainly get what you ask for. With this mindset, a similar lifestyle will have no choice but to follow. You choose the mindset, you might as well choose freely, financial freely that is ;)

Negativity Draining Your Energy?

“Bad company corrupts good character.” - 1 Corinthians 15:33

I would have to say that the worst way to drain your energy is listening to negativity from other people. Listening to their whining and complaining is not only annoying, but sometimes just listening causes you to feel just as horrible as they do. As a positive person, you don’t want to get too close to negative people, or have them overstay their welcome either. There are certain things you must do to remain positive around negative people. Negative people need help, and you can give it to them while keeping your distance at the same time.

Negative people most of the time don’t feel appreciated by anyone. This explains why they get in such a rebellious mood and attack everybody and everything. They think as if the world is against them, when in fact it is not. The only thing out to get them, is themselves. Perception is everything, it is how we live and view life. Obviously negative people have a perception that they are not loved or appreciated, which causes them to go in a defense mode. A great way to help them if this is the case would be to show them that you are listening, and you are there to help. You are listening, but you are not just listening to all of the crap that they are telling you just to hear it. You are listening so that you can put things together and come up with a valuable solution to the problem. So the key thing in this situation is to listen for a solution, rather than listening to the problem itself without making a suggestion of turning things around. Otherwise you will get caught in th same negative trap that they got trapped in. You are the hero, its up to you to save them :)

Now, as for the negative people who are just negative for no reason whatsoever, stay distance from them. Set limits, do not allow them to invade your space. Do not listen in on their occult practices…..I mean discussions (same thing). You don’t have to even respond to the negative things they say to you, after all it wouldn’t help if both of you are negative. When you are in a situation when someone like this is around you, always speak with authority, be consistent in being positive around them. If you do it correctly, its like sunlight shining on these dark negative vampires (or people, again, same thing) and they will leave you in no time. The important thing that you must remember and keep in mind all day long is to remain positive at all times as if your life depended on it, oh wait, it does.

5 Guaranteed Steps To End Negativity

1.Wear headphones over your ears. Take them off and on every time you see them. When they ask, tell them its BS protectors.

2.The next time you pass them by, say “You know what, I don’t care what other people say about you, you are a good person.” And when they ask who talks about them, just close your eyes and skip away humming to yourself.

3.Put both of you index fingers together to form a cross and back away slowly every time you see them.

4.Smile very enthusiastically with your mouth open as wide as you possibly can every time they come near you, this will surely scare them away.

5.Every time they come around you put your hands over your ears, one day they will get it.

Negative people are crap magnets, which means they attract more and more negative people, situations, and circumstances to them. Do everything you can to be positive so that you will attract good things in your life, preferably the things you want. Don’t forget to lead by example, although negative people are annoying, it is still up to you to do what you can to help them by showing you care and appreciate them.

Become The Person You Want To Be

The biggest mistake people do when they want something new, is they forget to change. In order to have something new you have to be someone new. You have to do something new. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the exact definition of insanity. We are all guilty of it, and there is only one thing that must take place for a new thing to happen, change. Changing first starts by changing your thinking, of course. Then you will have new feelings, good feelings hopefully, that are in accordance with what you want. As you go about doing the work required to receive whatever it is you ask for, you should be doing it fairly different than you would have before. A change in your world can be done and will be done as long as there is a change in your thinking patterns and consciousness.

Becoming that person or having that thing you desire would require you to become conscious of that thing or that person you want to be. Consciousness is a certain mind state or a certain level of thinking. With a different mind state, you can live and look at life differently than what you did in the past. For example, someone could past by an open field everyday on their way to work, or wherever it is they are going and think nothing of it. There could also be another person who would pass by that same field and see opportunity to create a subdivision or a shopping center or any type of business that would be of value. The difference in the two people are not the people themselves but the choice of thoughts and the level of their consciousness, that is the only thing different about them. Anyone can do anything another person can do, and even better. Limits do not exist in this world, and we are becoming more and more aware of it everyday.

So the important thing to do is to be that person you want to be that you know you are not now. Maybe you have that gut feeling or desire to do something, to have something, or to be something. You have probably had this feeling, and you think about it often. That feeling and desire that you have is something that is given to you. The word desire in the Latin terms means “of the father”. So that feeling that you get (good of course) means it is God giving you that feeling. If God is telling you anything you should jump to act on it right then and there. It has been said many times that you should follow your gut, because it is always right, as long as you listen and follow directions.

“To be or have something new in your life you must become that what you want mentally first, there is no other starting point that guarantees success - Walt”

Creating Value

Are you valuable to others? Do you provide value to everything you do? What about the things that you don’t want to do? Valuable people definitely have a high advantage in life. People who have value are respected and loved much more than those who aren’t. Someone with value makes others want to be more valuable to them. You reap what you sow. Sow good seeds by creating and providing value to others, and it will eventually all come back to you times 10.

If you have a business that you want to start up the best thing to do is figure out what you like to do. Once you know what you want to do, then find ways to provide that to others in a considerate valuable way. If you create a business just to make money, it probably won’t make hardly anything. The reason it won’t is because all of the focus would be on money rather than value. Money is the last step, the first is providing a valuable product and service worth buying. Make sure to put more focus into the value of what you are offering others first, and last.

The value you provide should always be greater than the amount you charge. This is so people can get more than what they pay for, which also means, repeat customer. People love sales and discounts, they also love it when they get a good deal on something and they paid less than what the item is worth. Products and services with high value and low prices are the ones that will succeed and last much longer in the long run. Not only that, but your business will have a good name and reputation if you do this. Your business will be seen as a honest and loyal company.

The same applies to all areas of life not just business. Create value to your family by showing them that you love and care for them. Create value in your relationship by showing your mate consistent attention and love. Create value at your job by working diligently and honestly while also being grateful that you even have the job. Also remember to create value to God, by living the best life enjoying everything as much as you possibly can.
