2013 The Year of Positive Self-Esteem

I have never been to a real AA meeting, but I see that they have people stand up and say what they are. I guess that is the first step to awareness of oneself and we grow from there. If that were so, then I would have to say I am a low self-esteem person.

Now that that is out there, I have been doing a ton of study on raising my self-esteem and I can feel the difference.

I used to be concern of what others thought of what I was doing. I would allow rejection to affect my moving forward. I saw everyone saying no to my trying to grow my business and would get down.

So I looked inside of me and with help of professional programs, I have made great advancements on my self worth / value and the right to have success in my life, to be happy and have a healthy positive emotions.

I have learned to distance the emotion of rejections and to be in the moment of joy, happiness, peace and a vision of my future. To celebrate the emotion of good and happiness. I have found that happiness is always “now” not in the future or if something happens or with someone. We have to always remember to choose to be happy, everyday, all day, the emotion of happy is a choice.

I have found to focus on the good and have developed three areas of great important for connecting the dots of the HOW to and not the general view of a positive attitude.

A positive attitude is good but without Action steps that are in line with your goals; the attitude is just a wish. The attitude is good, but without the how, it is not very useful.

The three areas for my success is to have a burning desire to be where I want to be, to believe I am worthy of this success with all my limits and short comings, and to have a healthy expectancy that it will work.

My positive affirmations are directed to this end. My self-talk is in line with my action steps and my action steps are in line with my goals.

An action step not leading you to a goal is miss direction and will lead us away, not towards are goal.

There is so much more to share, but for now, think on our self talk to build our desire, your belief you can do it and the expectancy that when you do, you are wanted and accepted. The stronger you have of these 3 things the faster to your dreams and goals.

Just like a 3-legged stool, all three are needed to support your success, Desire, Belief, Expectancy, builds these and they will build your business.

2013 is a year where we focus on our goals and not the reactions of others that do not qualify to make a difference in our lives.

Celebrate new business partners, clients, and friends.

Have relationships with all but limit your partnership to a standard. It’s like climbing a mountain. You have many who want to climb but you would only want the ones who really will climb on your team. Select your climbing team and look to your mountain head on, knowing that together this mountain will be climbed.

Pay the price of digging for the gold in your business and dis guard the many tons of useless dirt. The hard work will pay off.

2013 is our year for business and my team is coming together, getting ready, how about you and yours!!!!

Political Economics

Are you finding it harder and harder to understand what is going on? If you're like me, you have to study the new economics, I call Political Economics. Why do I call it such? Because the government wants to control the flow of money and in their world 2+2 does not have to equal 4. They can let it equal anything they want, while you and I live in the real world. 

This however effects our ability to plan and invest. The decision of action has to now consider the action of government and that can change at any moment. We have no consistent law in their make believe world. In the real world like gravity it works and nothing will change the basic law, you can over come or use that law but it is not changing. Government changes rules and regulations that effect the law of taxes, investments and deductions at their desire. Talking about uncertain....

So what do you and I do? 

This boils down to ideology and values. 

If you think government is in the business of taking your hard earned money and give it to someone who did not work for it, then you should vote for Obama. Let me make this comment on government taking our money and giving it to someone else. If it was not the government taking the money but the person receiving the money, that would be a crime. If it was not so sad it would be silly to think such a thing can happen. This comes because elected people are buying votes and using our money to say in power. This is the end of the liberty our founding fathers warned us about. 

You see it takes moral values and the ideology of limited government to keep people free. Our Constitution is our servant to master over government and limit their ability to rule over we the people. 

We are very close to losing our liberty and freedom. We have been sleeping and need to wake up and be informed and jealous about our rights. 

For freedom and liberty we need values of limited government and citizens to govern government not the other way around. 

Vote in this election and pray for God to forgive our sleep and let us not lose our jealousy for our rights. 

Solutions Matter

Today we as Americans are faced with an ever extending external control over our freedom. Not all feel the effects of change on their lives, they still have their job, costs of goods are on sale and discounts on trips and travel are temping. It’s a buyers’ market. For these people the glass is half full and life is grand.

Empathy or the understanding of our overall condition facing many of our fellow citizens is at my point today. Doing what is right and as leaders finding ways to create opportunity so more can reach the above realization. Unfortunately so many good hard working families have been affected by the changing shift of boom to bust cause and effect of Government involvement into the market place.

The need

For many the increase in cost of energy and food is hitting our family structure hard and getting worse. The consequence of these rising cost is generating strife in our family structure, the end results of which can and are destroying marriages and kids reacting in negative attention.

We find drug use in both the youth and adults increasing to deal with the inability to understand and know what to do. It seems that change is being thrust upon the parents and couples yet the lack of knowledge and no understanding of what is happening, or how to adjust to the change in what seems to be midstream of life. The why it’s happening with the overhead of upkeep is for some too much to handle and stress overcomes many.

The solution

Our society has developed into a follow society where very few leaders stand up and lead.

For many leaders have found what works for them, to keep their ship afloat. These leaders have adjusted and trimmed the waste to weather the change.

It seems that it’s all men for themselves as the “ship of America” drifts towards the rocky shore and freedom the victim. So it seems.

It is now the call to those who are leaders to do what a leader does. Cast a vision so big that not one person can achieve it on their own, to cause people to do what is not normal in the regular day of living and do the abnormal of rising up and bettering themselves and others to a higher goal, a vision, a dream to fight for what is worth living for. Our families, our right to serve our Creator, and our Freedom of Country.

I am searching for such leaders.

Yet without a path for measureable change, a plan that works. Such a vision is just that a vision. When we couple a proven workable system where we can mentor those that desire to work and do, we can mentor and show them knowledge and develop understanding to work with purpose, repeating over and over again a plan that can be shared and passed on. Each reaching the needed relief to restore the foundation of your family to bring back the respect of success in the eyes of our love ones. To stand for a purpose in a time of no purpose.

My call is for leaders first. My search is for people with compassion and understanding to work with me and as a team to work my plan.

The Plan

As with any door that you enter, a door is just that, a door. The door allows entrance into a place.

The door’s threshold is not a stage for a detailed presentation; it is just a door to enter.

This is why I would like to meet with you and share with you my vision.

If you are such a leader and ready to grow and be a part of the solution, not just a “I wish you well” and move on type person. Then I need you to help me help others.

There is no magic answer, however there is the old saying, “if you show me your faith, I will show you my blisters”   

I know you already know this, and yes you will be rewarded for your leadership as you lead others.

In our changing times, requires change in each of us. To think differently, do differently because in order for a reaction, requires action. Action in a different direction yields reaction in that direction.

I need you to be such a leader today, for yourself and others. For the kids hurting as the family suffers, for our future stability. Yes you can make this difference.

Can I count on you to listen to my plan that works?  Will you lead as a leader and give of yourself? This is a call to leaders only. In America we still have great leaders all around us, now is our time. Stand with me as we together CAN make a difference.
