Those who Don’t take Chances

Don’t make Advances

All great discoveries have been made by people whose faith ran ahead of their minds. Significant achievements have not been obtain by taking small risk on unimportant issues. Don’t ever waste time planning, analyzing, and risking on small ideas. It is always wise to spend more time on decisions that are irreversible and less time on those that are reversible.

Learn to stretch, to reach out were God is. Aim high and take risks. The world’s approach is to look to next year based on last year. If you belief in God you need to reach to the potential, not to reckon the past. Those who make great strides are those who take chances and plan toward the challenges of life.

Don’t become so caught up in small matters that you can’t take advantage of important opportunities .Most people spend their entire lives letting down buckets into empty wells. They continue to waste away their days trying to draw them up again.

Choose today to dream big, to strive to reach the full potential of your calling. Choos to major on the important issues of life, not on the unimportant. H Stern said “If you’re hunting rabbits in tiger country, you must keep your eye peeled for tigers, but when you are hunting tigers you can ignore the rabbits”. There are plenty of tigers to go around. Don’t be distracted by or seek after the rabbits life. Set your site on the “ Big Game.”

Security and opportunity are total strangers. If an undertaking doesn’t include faith, it’s not worthy of being called God’s direction. I don’t belief that God would call any of any of us to do anything that would not include an element of faith in Him.

There is a famous old saying that goes, “Even a turtle doesn’t get ahead unless he sticks his neck out”. Dream Big, because you serve a big God.

This was taken out of John L. Mason’s Book “An Enemy Called Average”

Use your time wisely

2009-08-14T06:20:00.001-07:00

We al know the saying ‘Use your time wisely”

and we all know we only have 24 Hours day to use

as we want to and that the riches man in the world

and the beggar on the street have only 24 hours to

use.

So every thing the rich man can do the beggar can

do also and I am talking here about simple things

that the normal person out there don’t think about

every day.

I will make a small list of thing here that most people

say they don’t have time for in the day and then I will

Explain to you how to have more than 360 day’s a year

Ok hear is the “I don’t have TIME list”.

I Don’t have TIME to Read.
I Don’t have TIME for Meditation. or to Pray.
I Don’t have TIME to Listen to a motivational CD.
I Don’t have TIME for my Self talk.
I Don’t have TIME to spend time with my creator.
I Don’t have TIME to Wright down 5 thing that a am grateful for.
I Don’t have TIME to visualize my dreams.

Now every thing in the” I Don’t have TIME “list any one can do daily

and that is what the majority of successful people do. You don’t have to

be rich to do it all you need is a Nike Attitude and “ JUST DO IT “

Ok I said I will show you how to get more than 360 day a year

so lets do the calculations.

If your normal time is to standup 7 AM if you need to be

at work at 8 you can put an extra hour or two to your day

by standing up an hour or two earlier to apply the” I Don’t

have TIME” list into your life.

If you really want to change your life you can do it and this will

be the result:

1 hour add to your day: equals

1 hour a day extra

6 hours a week extra (if you want to Skip Sunday)

12 hours a month extra

144 a year extra and that equals to 6 extra days to your year.

If you only half the time you still use your time wisely and if

you do not have time for every thing like the CD what

about the time you spend in your Car driving to or from work ?

So the wisdom for day is, Spend your time wisely.

Put 8 min aside and hear the Wisdom from inside.

Love the Opportunity

2009-08-04T05:14:00.000-07:00

Hi My FaceBook Friend

I love Jim Rohn and just get his mail and after i read it i know i need to share it with you on my blog so here it is and enjoy.

Love the Opportunity by Jim Rohn

Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that’s not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity—the opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone’s door or making that extra call may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door or call.

For example, a guy says, “I’m digging ditches. Should I love digging ditches?” The answer is, “No, you don’t have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you say, ‘I’m glad somebody gave me the opportunity to dig ditches, and I’m going to do it so well, I won’t be here long.’ ”

You can be inspired by having found something, even though you are making mistakes in the beginning, and even though it is a little distasteful taking on a new discipline that you haven’t learned before. You don’t have to love it; you just have to learn to appreciate where you live, appreciate opportunity and appreciate the person who brought you the good news—the person who found you.

Appreciate the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself. Appreciate the person who said, “Hey, if I can do it, you can do it.”

If you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new opportunity, and you will soon find that your self-confidence will start to grow, that you will go from being a skeptic to being a believer. And soon, when you go from person to person, talking to people, you will find it to be the most thrilling opportunity in the world. Every person you meet—what could it be? Unlimited! Maybe a friend for life. The next person could be an open door to retiring. The next person could be a colleague for years to come. It’s big-time stuff. And sometimes, in the beginning, when we are just getting started, we don’t always see how big it is.

So, before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember, all success is based on long-term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few steppingstones along the way. You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it’s sure to be one of the stones that leads to great opportunities in the future.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

Hope you enjoy it as i did be welcome to leave a comment.

Don't Quit!

2009-07-23T01:57:00.000-07:00

I know you know it but read it again and choose a
line or two to repeat when life is' pressing you down'.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!

The Wisdom Poem

2009-07-12T12:30:00.000-07:00

Wisdom is wise and very nice

It opens the door for those that

Want to be wise and don’t belief

in lies .

It is here it is there it is just every where

It has a beginning but no ending .

Wisdom is the song of the heard

that whisper words to the soul,

you need to know.

Wisdom knock at every door but

so many ignore...

that knock at the door.

Wisdom is the key and it is for free.

And you will find it in pages of a book

That comes from a tree.

The Guru And The Teacher

2009-07-07T12:17:00.000-07:00

I did get this from my Friend on Face Book

PeterPocklington and I need to share it with you.

You can go to his blog talk on

www.blogtalkradio.com/PeterPocklington

A teacher takes responsibility of your growth
A Guru makes you responsible for your growth

A teacher gives you things you do not have and require
A Guru takes away things you have and do not require

A teacher answers your questions
A Guru questions your answers

A teacher helps you get out of the maze
A Guru destroys the maze

A teacher requires obedience and discipline from the pupil
A Guru requires trust and humility from the pupil

A teacher clothes you and prepares you for the outer journey
A Guru strips you naked and prepares you for the inner journey

A teacher is a guide on the path
A Guru is a pointer to the way

A teacher sends you on the road to success
A Guru sends you on the road to freedom

A teacher explains the world and its nature to you
A Guru explains yourself and your nature to you

A teacher makes you understand how to move about in the world
A Guru shows you where you stand in relation to the world

A teacher gives you knowledge and boosts your ego
A Guru takes away your knowledge and punctures your ego

A teacher instructs you
A Guru constructs you

A teacher sharpens your mind
A Guru opens your mind

A teacher shows you the way to prosperity
A Guru shows the way to serenity

A teacher reaches your mind
A Guru touches your soul

A teacher gives you knowledge
A Guru makes you wise

A teacher gives you maturity
A Guru returns you to innocence

A teacher instructs you on how to solve problems
A Guru shows you how to resolve issues

A teacher is a systematic thinker
A Guru is a lateral thinker

A teacher will punish you with a stick
A Guru will punish you with compassion

A teacher is to pupil what a father is to son
A Guru is to pupil what mother is to her child

One can always find a teacher
But a Guru has to find and accept you

A teacher leads you by the hand
A Guru leads you by example

When a teacher finishes with you, you graduate
When a Guru finishes with you, you celebrate

When the course is over you are thankful to the teacher
When the discourse is over you are grateful to the Guru

I belief that you can see the Guru as your Mentor in life,

as a child you are force to listen to the teacher in school

but you choose out of your own will to learn from your mentor

and by doing so there is no resistance from your side so

you will be open to learn from him and upply what you learn.

Love to here what you think.

Dreams and Goals

2009-06-30T10:20:00.000-07:00

One of the amazing things we have been given as humans is the unquenchable desire to have dreams of a better life, and the ability to establish goals to live out those dreams. Think of it: We can look deep within our hearts and dream of a better situation for ourselves and our families; dream of better financial lives and better emotional or physical lives; certainly dream of better spiritual lives. But what makes this even more powerful is that we have also been given the ability to not only dream but to pursue those dreams and not only to pursue them, but the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strategies (setting goals) to achieve those dreams.

What are your dreams and goals? This isn't what you already have or what you have done, but what you want. Have you ever really sat down and thought through your life values and decided what you really want? Have you ever taken the time to truly reflect, to listen quietly to your heart, to see what dreams live within you? Your dreams are there. Everyone has them. They may live right on the surface, or they may be buried deep from years of others telling you they were foolish, but they are there.

So how do we know what our dreams are? This is an interesting process and it relates primarily to the art of listening. This is not listening to others; it is listening to yourself. If we listen to others, we hear their plans and dreams. If we listen to others, we can never be fulfilled. We will only chase elusive dreams that are not rooted deep within us. No, we must listen to our own hearts.

Let's take a look at some practical steps/thoughts on hearing from our hearts on what our dreams are:

Take time to be quiet. This is something that we don't do enough in this busy world of ours. We rush, rush, rush, and we are constantly listening to noise all around us. The human heart was meant for times of quiet, to peer deep within. It is when we do this that our hearts are set free to soar and take flight on the wings of our own dreams! Schedule some quiet "dream time" this for your self. No other people. No cell phone. No computer. Just you, a pad, a pen, and your thoughts.

Think about what really thrills you. When you are quiet, think about those things that really get your blood moving. What would you LOVE to do, either for fun or for a living? What would you love to accomplish? What would you try if you were guaranteed to succeed? What big thoughts move your heart into a state of excitement and joy? When you answer these questions you will feel Great and you will be in the "dream zone." It is only when we get to this point that we experience what Our dreams are!

Write down all of your dreams as you have them. Don't think of any as too outlandish or foolish - remember, you're dreaming! Let the thoughts fly and take careful record.

Here is the big picture: Life is too short to not pursue your dreams. Someday your life will near its end and all you will be able to do is look backwards. You can reflect with joy or regret. Those who dream, who set goals and act on them to live out their dreams are those who live lives of joy and have a sense of peace when they near the end of their lives. They have finished well, for themselves and for their families.

Remember: These are the dreams and goals that are born out of your heart and mind. These are the goals that are unique to you and come from who you were created to be and gifted to become. Your specific goals are what you want to attain because they are what will make your life joyful and bring your family's life into congruence with what you want it to be.

Enjoy your dream time.

Your Garden

2009-06-26T09:00:00.000-07:00

“Your thoughts are like the seeds you plant in your garden. Your beliefs

are like the soil in witch you plant these seeds." ~ Louise Hay ~

Let's go on a trip and discover were is your garden and how do you clean it, that Louise talking about.

Your garden is your subconscious mind and the gardener is your conscious mind. Now to explain how the mind work is to use a garden for a good example. If you look at a normal garden that is neat you don’t get a lot of weed in it. But let say the garden is in a bad condition with a lot of weed in it and you want to clean it up. Normally you will pull out the weed and put some good new soil in it with new flowers in.

The garden that is in a bad condition is your subconscious mind with a lot of negative thoughts in it and the person that is responsible for that is the gardener you conscious mind. Your conscious mind determined what go to the subconscious mind and it cultivate your way of thinking for the future it is almost like programming a computer, what you put in is what you will get out (GIGO).

Most people tend to focus first on the negative before he will thinks about the positive side of any thing. We need to reprogram or clean our garden from al the negative way of thinking and the only way we can do that is to start to shutdown negative thing in our life and replace it with thinks that will help us to become more Positive in life.

Now you may ask the how Question? So let me answer it for you. Replace TV Time with reading time a good book for example, “Think and grow rich” from Napoleon Hill. Associate les with negative friends and more with people that is optimistic about life. Start to do a self talk in the morning before you start your day , if you don’t know how to do a self talk just start to say to your self “Every day and in ever way I Am getting Better and Better” and repeat it ten time’s.

There is a lot of thinks you can do to clean your garden but the secret is to do it daily. The same with the garden you don’t go to the nursery to buy weeds it just grow on it’s own, your mind work the same if you don’t tell it consistently what to do it go back to it’s old way of thinking and before you know it overrule the positive thoughts and you are back to the old way of thinking.

Zig Ziglar say this "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing that's why we recommend it daily." ~ Zig Ziglar ~

Enjoy the gardening.

Life Is....

2009-06-24T14:18:00.000-07:00

Today I want to give you a poem from Mother

Teresa with a question to think about.

How do you life your life? Do you only live till you die or do

your live life. I don’t know about you but I want to live

my life in away that I leave my Opus behind for generations

to come, and if there really is something like second life on earth

then I can come back and be part of that generation.

So enjoy the poem and live your life.

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is bliss, taste it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it."

~ Mother Teresa ~

What IF ?

2009-06-23T14:29:00.000-07:00

I have found that sometimes the subtle difference in our attitude, which of course can make a major difference in our future, can be as simple as the language we use. The difference in even how you talk to yourself or others. Consciously making a decision to quit saying what you don't want and to start saying what you do want. I call that faith. Believing the best, hoping for the best and moving toward the best.

A few examples could be, instead of saying "What if somebody doesn't respond" you start saying, "What if they do respond?" Instead of saying "What if someone says no?" You say, "What if they say yes?" Instead of "What if they start and quit?" say, "What if they start and stay?" or "What if it doesn't work out?" You say, "What if it does work out?" and the list goes on and on.

I found that when you start thinking and saying what you really want then your mind automatically shifts and pulls you in that direction. And sometimes it can be that simple, just a little twist in vocabulary that illustrates your attitude and philosophy.

Our language can also affect how others perform and behave around us. A teenager says to a parent, "I need $10." And if the parents learn to say, "No comprende. That kind of language doesn't work here. We've got plenty of money, but that's not how you get $10." Then you teach your teenager how to ask, "How can I earn $10?"

That is the magic of words. There is plenty of money here. There is money for everybody, but you just have to learn the magic words to get them. For everything you could possibly want. If you just learn the philosophy. How could I earn $10? Because you can't go to the soil and say, "Give me a harvest." You know the soil smiles and says, "Who is this clown that brings me his need and brings me no seed." And if you said to the soil, "I've got this seed and if I planted it, would you work while I sleep?" And the soil says, "No problem. Give me the seed. Go to sleep and I'll be working while you're sleeping."

If you just understand these simple principles, teaching them to a teenager (or adult) is sometimes just a matter of language. It's like an investment account instead of a savings account. Simple language, but so important. It is easy to stumble through almost a lifetime and not learn some of these simplicities. Then you have to put up with all the lack and all the challenges that don't work out simply from not reading the book, not listening to the tape, not sitting in the class, not studying your language and not being willing to search so you can then find.

Gratitude

2009-06-22T15:18:00.000-07:00

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into
enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,
confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace
for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."~ Melody Beattie ~

The great Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero said “Gratitude is the mother of virtues”.

I want to say that Gratitude is not just the mother of virtues but it is the mother of every thing in life. It brings love, Health, happiness, and Prosperity in to your life. Wherever you find truly successful people, you find gratitude in large quantities. Gratitude set up a field of attraction so strong that it cannot help but bring your vision to you.

We can also say Gratitude is the key you need to open the door of goodness in your life and if you don’t use that key the opposite will happen. If you just learn this one principal in life then you just learn the most important principle there is in the hole universe.

If we develop a attitude of gratitude our life will never be the same and you will attract more good things in to your life, and if you do it on a constant bases good things will constantly start to happen to you. This is a law like the law of gravitation you can change it even if you want to.

Start to do one thing every day before you start your day and this is to thing about 5 thing’s that you are grateful for and tell it to the Universe or God and see what the universe will bring to you.

We can Wright a hole book just on gratitude but for now I just want to say thank you for reading my blog and may you have I day full off gratitude and may goodness flow into your life.

The Power Of A Smile

2009-06-18T13:31:00.000-07:00

“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight." ~ Phyllis Diller ~

A smile is something that we sometime underestimate for what it can
bring in to our life. I one’s heard a true story about a man in World
War 2 , his daughter is Colette Carlson

She told us at a seminar that I did attended that her father was in Germany
in hospital with his legs that was frozen with no blood circulation and he was
awaiting for amputation .What happen was amazing, there was a boy that
did do the cleaning and here father give him smile every time he enter
the room. What happen then was that the boy asks her father to
teach him English because he could only speak German so here father teach
the boy English. The night before his operation the boy did bring him a bottle
Port well because it was cold and he could not walk hid drink the hole bottle
that night all by him self.
What happen the next the morning was a miracle before the Dr. decide to do
the operation ,he went to her fathers bed and ask him if he can try to move
his toes to see if he must still do the operation. Well the next moment he could
move his toes and the Dr make a decision not to amputate his legs and His
smile save him from legs that was almost amputated.

Now if a smile can do that, there is a lot of other things a smile can do for you
lets think about some things a smile can do for you.

A smile can bring Joy to a person without Joy.
A smile can give you a new friend.
A smile can bring Money to you in a form off Gratitude.
A smile mite even bring opportunities to you .
A Smile can bring you Health back to you . Ask Collette’s
Father he will tell his a story to you.

So Smile and see what the World will bring to You.

Our Thoughts

2009-06-17T07:11:00.000-07:00

“Carefully watch your THOUGHTS, for they become your WORDS. Manage
and watch your WORDS, for they will become your ACTIONS. Consider
and judge your ACTIONS, for they have become your HABITS.
Acknowledge and watch your HABITS, for they shall become your
VALUES. Understand and embrace your VALUES, for they become YOUR
DESTINY." ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

How do that song go “ Be careful little eye what you see......Be careful little ears what you hear .......” to day i want to say “Be careful little mind what you think ..... be careful little mouth what you speak. I think people don’t understand this principal 100% your subconscious mind don’t ask Question and it really had a Nike Attitude because he just do what the conscience mind tell him to do he never talk back he “just do it”. What you say is what you think on that moment even if we do it on auto pilot that is why I belief every thing start in our thoughts if that is true then Gandhi was right when he did make that statement.
