Since I’ve been writing this blog I’ve shared emails, and spoke on the phone with some amazing people! A question that always seem to come up is the same one asked by Bonnie:
“Another great post, Kenneth! Now a question for you, who are you? What has motivated you to share your wisdom and enthusiasm here with us? I’m truly interested ;~)
What if you died and met your creator, and you were asked what did you do with what I gave you? What will be your answer? What if you were shown 1,378,269 people who weren’t given as much as you, had more life complications than you, yet achieved more than you. Would your excuses still be valid?
Billions and billions of souls would love your position, love to have the gift you’ve been given, yearning for the opportunity to experience LIFE. Anxiously anticipating the joy of taking a breath! Many souls wanted your spot… yet it has been designated for YOU! There is something about you that took precedence over billions of other souls. Your design and makeup has never been seen before, the marriage between your character and qualities have never been seen before! You are here for something…(softly said) make a difference!
Every person has their own mountain to climb, their own river to cross, their own road to pave! Don’t despise the obstacle course, just complete it!
I realized eventually we are all faced with the biggest decision of life… who will we be?
Who are you? Who did you choose to be?
Action: Pass this on to someone!
If this blog has touched you, help it do the same for someone else! God Bless
Adding value to someone else’s life increases the quality of yours! Going out of your way to help someone will add value to your life. You are presented with opportunities in life many different ways, some of my advancements in life came from helping someone else out!
I run a t-shirt screen printing company outside of this wonderful blog (isn’t it soooo… wonderful). Well last spring I was at a supply shop and I noticed a guy standing in the back in need of assitance. So I asked him do you need some help, he asked did I work here, I said no but I can help you. He told me what he had to do a school project printing some t-shirts, and he didn’t know where to start. For 15 minutes I explained to him what was the best way to get his project done. I told him my methods and tricks, told him the best products to buy, and I also offered to help him if he needed. Before he left he told me ” thank you for help” , I said “don’t worry about it, just be a blessing to someone else”. He gave me a peculiar look and asked for my number! A few months later he called me and said someone gave him a pretty large order, and he wouldn’t be able to print them, would I be open to take the order? Well it turns out that the customer he turned over to me ordered thousands of dollars worth of shirts and he was one of my largest customers.
All because I unselfishly went out my way to help someone else out!
Life can’t be all about you! Our life was meant to inspire and motivate others, we are people that move according to our emotions. There is a reason people cry at the movies, cheer at basketball games, laugh at jokes, and give when happy! We are all affected by each other, your life makes a difference in my life, and my life makes a difference in yours.
Some of your greatest blessings, will come in the form of being a great blessing to someone else.
Action: Take a genuine interest in helping someone else!
Thank you for reading my blog, you inspire me to continue to write. God Bless
Confidence is admired by many, because so many people lack it! Your confidence will get you in the door and seated!
Who wants to follow someone that’s not confident in where he or she going? NO ONE!. Believe it or not, life has many accommodations for the person who is confident. The lifestyle comes with many perks. You instantly become more attractive, you receive extra service, quality relationships (business and friends), last but not least GREAT OPPORTUNITIES!
People love getting in joint partnership with a confident person, because they are interested in making money off of you, which is great for you, because it’s another opened door for you to make money.
The reality is everyone has dreams! We all want to be someone or something special! Everybody wants to be recognized for something! Many people work on their skills and forget all about their Confidence. Work on both your skills along with your confidence. Once you have a great service, product, talent, skill or business plan… it’s now time to sell the world on your abilities. Your confidence will sell for you even when your mouth isn’t able to!
Life doesn’t pity the person who is able, yet lacks the confidence to do it! Action: Develop confidence! Developing confidence is very easy. Locate one of your greatest assets or attributes and let that become the source of your confidence. Convey that same energy to every area of your life.
Blinders are placed on horses, so they aren’t distracted by the action of others around them! What if humans had blinders on… how much more effective would we become?
Your ability to focus your energy and attention on any given task, or project is one of the most amazing qualities you possess! Focus should never be overlooked or underestimated! Why? It’s the one quality that allows you to compete with anyone on any level regardless of your experience or your competency level!
PEOPLE MUST STOP DISQUALIFYING THEMSELVES FROM THE RACE!
What type of person runs a “Multi-Billion Dollar Company” ?
Someone just like you! Focus, determination, creative Ideas, and the ability to act has been given freely to us all. Gold has to be refined, A diamond has to be cut, and man has to be developed.
I speak to so many people that complain about what they don’t have, and why they aren’t able get what they want. People forget the God given abilities they were given. Your brothers and Sisters created bridges,cars, skyscrapers, computers, the radio, airplanes, the air conditioning unit, submarines, cell phones, a pen and a piece of paper to write on…it’s your turn! There is gold inside you, you have to take the initiative, and dig for it!
Focused energy alone, eliminates the hopeless world of impossibilities!
Action: Put your blinders on! Take 30 minutes a day and focus on anything! Without distractions! Your goal is to build and develop your “focus muscle”. Eventually you should increase the time from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, on to an hour.
You didn’t think it was possible to eat a cow whole, did you?
So why do you look at your goals that way?
Even losing weight is much more doable when we look at it as 1 pound a week for 30 weeks, opposed to the “I have to join the gym to lose 30 pounds” attitude. There will always be a disconnect, because naturally we think… I gotta have it right now, our conditioning makes us feel we must lose 30 pounds in one week. When a person looks at the “30 pound mountain” pulsating in front of them , it tends to be very discouraging. One pound a week is a much more attainable goal.
How did you grow to an adult from an infant? One day at a time.
(I’m saying it simple because it is that simple)
The same principles that were used when you were a child still apply! This proven system has worked for you time and time again. The problem is… you didn’t know it! Apply it to every area of your life… and continue to achieve!
Why do we look up to certain individuals? What is it that makes you hold a person in high regard? What makes a person reach out to a mentor for guidance?
It’s simple! They found a way to accomplish the very same thing that you look to accomplish. “Finding a way” is where your character will be tried and exhausted. Finding a way to make your vision work is probably the most tedious aspects of succeeding. Yet, it’s the fine line that separates the players from the winners. This is where you will be tried mentally, where headaches will occur, where frustration dwells and spirits are broken! This is where you will need to be strong mentally, to get through the battle. Most people don’t ever realize the battle is in your mind! So recondition your mind to weather the storm!
It’s great to listen to the success stories of others… yet sometimes when we follow someone’s story we think that our life will play out the same way. When it doesn’t people become very discouraged. Write your own success story by taking your own course of action. You can look at someone’s example as motivation, yet your journey is tailored made for you! Your story may start and end different from theirs. It’s essential for you to prepare before your “mental battle” takes place. After all… You must find a way!
We all have days of wanting to give up! Being responsible and accountable for something is a full time commitment even when you feel like you don’t want it. Days when you feel like you can’t go on, are the days when you should push harder. Keep your spirits up and push on. On any given day you may experience a “breakthrough” in your life. Breakthroughs occur when you push yourself through your self imposed limitations.
What makes a person limit themself?
Past experiences, and relationships shape how high and wide one will stretch for their goals. Your mind will stretch as much as you will stretch it. Exposing yourself to luxury living through magazines and relationships eventually forces your mind to attract to it. If hanging out with billionaires will change the way you look at making money, hanging around doers and people that take action daily will also effect the way you look at your ideas and goals.
Working from your passion, brings a whole new meaning to “WORK”. After all many people wake up day after day working for employers they can’t stand. Working in positions that is far from challenging or even interesting! Think about it, people spend most of their lives working for someone. To provide their children with better opportunities, only to have their children repeat the same cycle. When is it going to end? Don’t rely on the school system to teach your kids how to avoid the rat race! It first starts with you! If you have dreams of greatness and never act on them, how will your kids have any courage to step out on faith? The reality is they won’t! The days of job security is gone, you are your only security. Stop relying on someone to pay you weekly, a small percentage of what they think you are worth. Put your passion to work for you… start out small and continue to grow!
Leave a comment… tell me your thoughts!
Action: Do a search under your passion to find other people in your field. Look at their business structure and how they are making money from your passion. Take one idea that you can do to generate income and apply it!
Little white lies turn into disappointing character flaws. If your business partner witnessed you lying to someone, is it safe for him to believe that he will be lied to one day? What about the parent that lies in the presence of their child, are they giving their child the permission to lie to them “under certain circumstances”?
You actually hurt yourself more when you practice lying. Making a goal for yourself is great, yet if you are a liar your word loses value to you! It’s the catch 22 in full effect. When you lie to others, over time your word becomes meaningless to you.There is nothing more unattractive than a person who’s words have no effect on themselves. Give your words life and value, by operating in integrity you give your words more power.
Remember your word is all you have! Make it count every time!
