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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
