Small Dreams Vs Big Dreams

I learned that there is no difference between a person who wants to achieve something small, compared to someone who wants to achieve big. The only difference is the choice. Yeah, a bigger dream may take a little longer, but the truth is that it is the same, meaning anybody can do it. Big dreams carry the same process to complete as the small dreams. If you think you can, and you take the required action, it is done.

There are people who do ever day what you probably dream about doing, and they do it without thinking so hard about it. For example, if you have been driving for a while now, then I’m sure you don’t think about driving as you do it, you just do it right? There are kids who have a burning desire to drive and they can’t get it off their mind. Some wonder whether they can even do it, some just can’t wait. Remember, you do it all of the time, without thinking about it. It is the same for being a millionaire. You may want to be one, but don’t look at it as if it is the hardest thing to do, because there are plenty of different people who are. Its not as hard as you think, just don’t think too hard, relax.

Faith That Moves Mountains

Increase your faith. Live a little and go beyond what you currently believe you can do. Believe more, and you will see more. There is no limit to what you can make happen. If someone asked another person to walk on water they would say that is impossible. However, it is recorded in history that Jesus did it, and he said that anything he does on earth we can do the same, plus more. So it’s time we start living in faith and doing what some may say is impossible. Although “Impossible is not a word in my dictionary - Walt.”

“I can guarantee this truth: This is what will be done for someone who doesn’t doubt but believes what he says will happen: He can say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it will be done for him.” - Mark 11:22-23

Consistency, Don’t Stop The Flow

Consistency is a must! There is no way that you could truly be successful at anything without being consistent in taking the action. Whenever you start something, finish it! Don’t slack off, not once, no matter the condition. Doing so, tells yourself unconsciously that it is ok to slack off. Then next thing you know you are slacking off on everything. You don’t want that. You want to tell yourself that consistency is a must, and it is apart of you.

Think about this. You have a goal to knock down a very large tree. It is you, and an ax. You are excited at first about knocking down this tree. However, after a while, you become tired and you see that the tree hasn’t fail yet according to your expectations. So you give up, and your left by yourself with an ax and a tree that is still standing. Common sense would tell you that you would need to keep hitting the tree in order for it to fall. The truth is, eventually it will fall, but if you quit and give up then it won’t. It really doesn’t take a big person to get the job done. You don’t have to be the strongest person either. You just need the right tools, and consistency in using those tools over and over again. As you do it over and over again, bit by bit of the tree will be cut, and eventually it will have no choice but to fall.

Now the example above clearly demonstrates the way success is at anything. Apply consistency with the right tools and you will accomplish what ever you wish. The right tools in this case would be having the right mindset, and believing in yourself that anything is possible. You also need to become conscious of the thing you are trying to do. These are the tools, but without action they are useless. It’s like a hammer and a bunch of nails, just sitting around without being used. Once you have the tools you have to take the action and be consistent. With genuine faith added, you will accomplish anything it is you desire. Regardless of what others may think.

Upgrade To Enthusiasm

Every winner knows that enthusiasm is key to being successful and performing great. Without enthusiasm you lack the energy boost that could leap you into achievement. If you are walking slowly around at your job with your head down with no energy, you shouldn’t expect great results at all. Definitely don’t expect a raise. People want those who are enthusiastic about everything, in other words, they want someone with an enthusiastic personality and character. With this particular trait, it enables confidence for others to trust you to get the job done.

If you go to a clothing store and ask an associate for help, lets say you do go to an unenthusiastic person. They are not going to perform at their highest potential, their goal is to make it until its time to get off. However, if you go to someone who has a lot of energy and is very enthusiastic, they will be more than happy (and excited) to help you. Someone who wants to help you will give you more as opposed to someone who is walking around lifeless. So if you need help and if the associate is not already smiling before you approach them, look for someone else. You want 100% effort, not 5. Besides, enthusiastic people get enthusiastic tips!

Anything that you do, look at the results that you have been getting from doing it in the past. Take note, and then start applying enthusiasm to it. I guarantee you will start to see different if not dramatic results. The point is to have fun, be energetic and alive. This is your natural state of being. You are supposed to live this way. God would much rather see his people enthusiastic about life rather than walking around like a zombie.

Enthusiasm counts for everything. You can take it and apply it to anything that you are doing. Your business, job, relationship, exercise, driving your car, anything. The important thing as Nike said it best, is to “Just Do It”. It won’t hurt you to be more enthusiastic. Really, whether you believe it or not, it actually doesn’t take too much of a requirement either. Only thing you have to do is decide to be enthusiastic. Everything else falls into place. You will feel more energetic, and happy. Its a simple choice, you just have to forget the fact that you “think” you are tired. The truth is you are what you think and feel. Choose Enthusiasm.

More opportunities can be seen for those who are enthusiastic. No one on the face of the earth would want to not be enthusiastic. Although many are unenthusiastic, and don’t know why or how to be. As I said earlier, it starts with the decision to be enthusiastic. Then, you must actually be enthusiastic.

So upgrade now to enthusiasm and you will see immediate results! Plus when you choose to upgrade, you get lifetime support from God! So don’t wait, offer ends when you end. Tomorrow is not promised, live for the moment!

Everything Is Free, Choose Wisely

Literally, everything is actually free, you choose what you want in life. The only thing you pay, is attention. You invest with the things you want and don’t want with your thoughts. It’s not when you think about something one time either. Whenever you are consistently thinking about something, it becomes a habit. Whenever you get to the point were you habitually think about something, in a way, that is who you are. Habitual thinking actually becomes habitual actions. Your thinking becomes your life. So with that said, you have the choice to choose the thoughts you want to.

Invest time throughout the day and visualize your goals and make them as clear as possible. You will only receive according to how clear you can see whatever it is you desire. It is a simple but hard thing for some people to do. It is simple because all you have to do is think consistently about the thing that you want. It can be hard because so many people have A.D.D. when it comes to focusing on what they want as opposed to what they don’t want. It seems as if it is easier to focus on what you don’t want in life, anybody can do it effortlessly. The real challenge is focusing 100% on what you do want, and being 110% consistent. Can’t really explain why it seems as if it is set up that way, but the only thing I can say is that life would be too easy and boring if we didn’t have challenges. Look at the challenges in your life as a game.

A game is designed to be a challenge. With no challenge there is no game, and it’s boring. If you have fun playing a game with a challenge, you can certainly have fun (if you choose to) with life’s challenges. It just depends if you are that bold or not. Have fun going through them and successfully completing them rather than being miserable. Remember it can happen, you choose your attitude. You choose rather something makes you happy or sad. Might as well enjoy everything while you are here.

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.

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 ;)

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”

Know Your Purpose and Passion

In order to live worthy, you must be worthy of something. In order to be worthy, you need a worth purpose. With that worthy purpose fixed in your mind you will live life much easier knowing that you are here for a reason. People who think they don’t have a purpose are the ones who walk around hopeless with nothing good going for them. The ones who do have a purpose that they are well aware of and passionate about, they are the ones who do the things others dream about.

As I look back over my life, and I think about the times when I didn’t have a purpose in mind, life was mediocre. There wasn’t much motivation, there wasn’t as much fun, and I definitely was not the most positive person either. It wasn’t until I became closer to God that my purpose came about. Once I had my purpose and what I wanted to do, everything changed. I went from living a mediocre life to a life worth living. I have more fun and enjoy things much more while being motivated to continue to live worthy as well. I know that I am here for a reason, to enjoy life in abundance, and to help others do the same. As I live my passion, I live my dream. My dream is reality, and it gets better and better from this point on.

Sometimes we forget that we all have a purpose, and some don’t even know that they have one. One way out of the many ways to find your purpose and passion is to sit down and think about what it is that you truly want. What I did was make a list of about 15 things that I liked to do, and things that I wanted to do. I then looked over the list and got rid of the things that were not top priority. I continued to eliminate parts of the list until I had the top five. A great way of doing this would be to take the first goal or desire and compare it to the 2nd. If the 2nd is more important than the first then eliminate the 1st. If the 1st thing is more important than the 2nd, then move on to the third, and so on. If you go all the way to the end of your list without eliminating the 1st then place that in your top five list, and then move on to the 2nd and repeat.

There are plenty of other great ways to find your purpose and passion. I think that praying is absolutely the best way, you can’t really go wrong doing that and following the way I described. You must make sure that what ever it is you come up with that it is something you absolutely love to do with your whole heart. You must enjoy it and be very enthusiastic about doing it as well. It should not be hard work, if it is your true purpose and passion then you will look at it as fun.

FEAR - False Evidence Appearing Real

Fear is nothing more than false evidence appearing real. Fear is really just looking at things in a worrisome point of view. Nobody knows the future exactly, although many look at certain things that happen with a fearful point of view as if something is going to get worse. Consistent fear sometimes manifests whatever it is you are afraid of into your life. As you keep hoping and hoping that something won’t happen to you, it probably will.

Fear is Faith in what we don’t hope for. Think about it. Faith is consistently thinking, feeling, and acting in alignment with what you want. You are speaking it and believing that you are going to have what you ask for whenever you have faith. Whenever you are consistent, you always get it. Unfortunately, there are many people who do the exact opposite of faith. When people fear something, they unconsciously are thinking feeling and acting in alignment with what they don’t want. Whether your thoughts and feelings are good or not so good, either way they will manifest whatever you focus on the majority of the time. We sometimes get carried away and start taking action in the wrong direction when we fear. Taking action in the wrong direction is fearing something and thinking that it is going to go away just because we fear it. God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but faith. Faith is what brings to us what we ask for. Fear is faith, but it is faith in what we don’t want (and you don’t want that).

Most of the time the things that you fear, never really happen, or where ever going to happen. Sometimes we use are imagination in the wrong manner. Doing so is not only going to cause you to probably manifest what you don’t desire, but you could also become sick or become very unhealthy. Every time you worry, your brain sends signals that go throughout your entire body. So every time you think that fearful thought, your brain is sending a signal to your body that says feel bad, feel worse. If you continue to go in this direction you will eventually become very unhealthy. This is scientifically proven, and you probably already knew this (but don’t try it though).

If you could simply change the direction your fearful thoughts have been going, you could just as easily become healthier, and feel much better about life. Remember, Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. Say that to yourself every time you become afraid or start worrying about something. Fear is not real, and it won’t be real, as long as you don’t make it real. It’s all in your imagination.

Change your thinking, and your life won’t have a choice but to change as well - Walt
