WHAT Do YOU Love? (Do You Even Know???)
Click HERE for the PODCAST
Click HERE for the VIDEO
As I type out this article, it is February 14th...VALENTINE'S DAY...the day that celebrates LOVE.
With that in mind, I have a very important question for you: "WHAT Do YOU Love?" Notice that I did not ask "WHO Do You Love" even though that question also needs to be answered based on what we will discuss today.
WHAT Do You Love? WHAT is your PASSION?
You have heard it asked this way before, I'm sure: "What would you do even if you didn't get paid for it?" or "What would you even do for free?"
A lot of people will SAY that they love someone or something but their actions betray their declaration.
People will declare before a minister and all of the people in attendance that they will love each other "no matter what" (to sum it up) yet, many of those same people will end up not living up to those declarations and will end up divorcing one another.
MANY will say that something is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in their life yet, again, their ACTIONS say otherwise.
What about YOU?
What do you say that you love and what do you say is most important to you?
Be honest with yourself and then answer the question of what your actions say/show about whatever it is.
I will discuss this topic in more detail a little later BUT FIRST, I NEED SOMETHING FROM YOU!
I need YOUR input on what YOUR passion is, WHAT are you willing to do in order to obtain that "thing" and WHY is it so important to you? I'm not going to ask you to tell me what your actions actually say on that part...I'll leave that up to you to discuss with yourself.
I really want to get this from you and use it for my future thoughts on this topic. You don't have to tell me your name or anything like that so that you can remain anonymous BUT PLEASE share this information with me by either leaving a comment on this article OR by sending it to me via email at mike@FutureYouUniversity.com
Thanks, in advance, for your participation and, until next time...
Make it an AWESOME day - who else is going to do it for you?

NEW YEAR - NOW WHAT??
As I write this, January 1st is just about done as we start ANOTHER "New Year".
So, here we go - it's another "NEW YEAR"...NOW WHAT??
So many make their annual "New Year's Resolutions" and often, just as many have put them aside within a month into the new year. Does that describe you?
Is there ANYTHING that you can do to FINALLY follow through and actually see and experience some POSITIVE CHANGE in and for your life?
Yes, there absolutely is!
I really want to encourage you to watch the video (listed below) and/or the podcast (also listed below) to get the "full impact" on my thoughts on this topic and, please, if you find value in what I am sharing, be sure to share it with others that you believe will also benefit.
Thank you in advance!
Here you go: The MOST IMPORTANT thing that you MUST HAVE in order to actually MOVE FORWARD in a POWERFUL and POSITIVE direction in this new year is...are you ready?...
DEVELOP and MAINTAIN a POSITIVE MINDSET
Don't let the apparent "simplicity" fool you. It's NOT easy or else we would not be discussing it even now.
And, friend, it's NOT "simple". Either way, pay attention to this statement: "Many times the PROFOUND can be FOUND in the simple." So, pay attention!
If you go into this new year with the SAME MINDSET as you had in the previous year - NOTHING WILL CHANGE!
Even IF you have been improving your mindset (don't miss this point either), as wonderful as that is you must STILL be IMPROVING and MAINTAINING that positive mindset!
You cannot allow your mindset to "stagnate"!
It is a DAILY process that requires your constant attention. No, it's not a chore...it DOES become easier and, along the way, you begin to enjoy EVERY ASPECT of your life more and more!
That's it.
If you are ready to DEVELOP a positive mindset and/or MAINTAIN that positive mindset then friend, you need to follow me closely.
LET ME HEAR FROM YOU and let's make this personal for you. Either comment on this article what YOU need (what's your main struggle, where do you get "hung up" on this journey, etc.) in this process. This will help me to "fine tune" my topics for you.
If you'd rather not post those thoughts publicly, feel free to e-mail me at: mike@FutureYouUniversity.com
It's up to you. I hope to hear from you soon and to KNOW of your progress!
Until next time...
Whatever you do, always be sure to make it an AWESOME day - who else is going to do it for you?Mike

I THINK I'm Satisfied...CAN I REALLY KNOW?
Glad you're here. If you find value in this blog article, please "subscribe" so that you can receive my articles as they come out BUT ALSO be sure to click on the links at the bottom of this article so that you can also LISTEN to the podcast and WATCH the videos.
I do my best to do a submission on the same topic via each of these venues and you WILL benefit by checking EACH of them since I don't follow a script which means you will get THREE entries on the same topic but with EACH of them being a "little different" than the others. This means you get the BEST of the BEST by doing so.
Today's article is a continuation in thought from two previous articles ("Is it Really Fine?" and "ENOUGH is ENOUGH") in which I ended up asking the question: "How can you KNOW if you really ARE dissatisfied with your current situation?"
Don't miss the IMPORTANCE of what I'm sharing with you here (as well as in the podcast and video). GET THIS: If you will answer these questions thoroughly and HONESTLY, your LIFE could very well CHANGE FOREVER in a POWERFUL and POSITIVE way.
Yes, I know that is a big claim but I stand behind that statement 100%!
READ THIS AGAIN: You need to listen to the podcast and/or watch the video as I go "deeper" there than I will in this article. I'm going to give you the "outline" portion of this important "formula" but you need to go deeper via the other avenues available.
HOW CAN I KNOW THAT I'M NOT TRULY SATISFIED WITH MY CURRENT SITUATION AND THAT IT'S TIME TO TAKE THAT STEP FOR HUGE CHANGE? (This applies to ANY and EVERY area of your life - relationships, job position, finances, etc.)
Apply it to ANY area by asking THESE 2 MAIN IMPORTANT QUESTIONS (I will be using FINANCES as an example):
1. Are you SATISFIED with your level of INCOME?
A. If YES, are you satisfied with what you have had to "give up" in order to achieve that level of income? (Get specific and make a list of what all you have had to give up...how much time? what have you missed out on? GET VERY SPECIFIC!)
- Then ask THIS question: How long are you willing to continue this path in order to maintain that level of income AND WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO DO to INCREASE that level?
B. If NO, then what will it take in order for you TO BE SATISFIED with your level of income? What will it take for you to go from your current amount of income (specifically list the $ amount) and where you think that "satisfactory level of income" would be (again, specifically list the $ amount)?
- Make another list of WHAT you will have to do in order to reach that level of income. WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO GIVE in time AS WELL AS possible missed events, etc. in order to reach that level. Will you have to invest in some additional classes/courses in order to do so. What will that cost be (specifically list that $ amount)
- How long will you be willing to continue this path in order to ACHIEVE that level of income and WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO DO to not only MAINTAIN that level but to also INCREASE that level at some point in time?
2. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH YOUR ANSWERS...What then? (Specifically list what you think your options may be).
That's it! Get real, get honest, get specific with your answers and this could CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER. I can actually tell you that - either way - it WILL change your life one way or the other. You will either MOVE FORWARD in a POWERFUL and POSITIVE way or you will remain stagnant which, in reality, means that you will be moving BACKWARDS.
#TRUTH
If this has triggered something in you...leave a comment or go to www.FutureYouUniversity.com and leave a comment there OR contact me directly and share your thoughts with me at: mike@FutureYouUniversity.com
THE GOOD NEWS? I'm heading into this new year with THIS VERY THING at the center of my focus and direction for my own life and for those that are willing and ready to MOVE FORWARD once and for all.
Join me? Let's go!
Until next time...
Whatever you do, always be sure to make it an AWESOME day - who else is going to do it for you?

Is it REALLY "Fine"??
"The enemy of 'the best' is not 'the worst'. The enemy of 'the best' is 'just fine'.
If you are apathetic because everything seems 'just fine', you will be unwilling to make the huge changes needed to get huge results." Dave Ramsey
It can be a very dangerous lie that we tell ourselves by answering to others that everything is "Just Fine" and even more so when we tell ourselves that same lie.
"Oh, but Mike, it's not a lie...I'm doing alright. I mean, there are a LOT of people doing worse!"
I get it but, does that mean that YOU are "fine"?
What does that even mean when you say, "I'm fine" or "Everything's fine" or "It's fine"?
Think about it. Leave your comments below or leave them at www.FutureYouUniversity.com on the post featuring this article or the podcast or video on the same topic.
Get honest with yourself. Get real and be real and ask yourself, "What do I REALLY want?" as well as, "What would my life look like for me to REALLY, truly feel and know that, indeed, 'It's fine' ?"
Until next time, when we will discuss this further...
Whatever you do, always be sure to make it an AWESOME day - who else is going to do it for you?

Project 141: HEALTH
Don't worry, I'm not going to give you a routine of exercise and a diet to follow in this blog article. Hopefully, you have already discovered that in my approach to expanding "Project 141" to these areas of your life. It's not about HOW MUCH you are doing but, simply, getting into the habit of doing SOMETHING in these areas each and every day for the course of a year.
Some may feel that I need to put "health" at the top of the list but, again, I put them in the order that I have for a reason. It really doesn't matter how physically fit you are or how good of health you are in if you are missing out on your connection in your spiritual life and if you are not working on your personal development. Oh, I know it makes a difference as far as how long you MIGHT live. But you still won't be living the life that you COULD live, friend.
I'm not a dietician and I struggle with my weight. I've had success in the past, even losing 100 pounds over a 13 month period but, like many, about half of that slowly came back on me. Hey folks, I LIKE TO EAT! And, on top of that, the kind of stuff I like to eat tends to be your "southern-type" foods...fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fried catfish, fried, fried fried.
I also have diabetes and high blood pressure as a result of eating this way for most of my life. I am doing better than I have done in the past but I still have to really focus on improving what I'm doing with and for my health each and every day.
The #1 "New Year's Resolution" has to do with weight loss and maybe you are one of those people that have hopped on that same bandwagon year after year after year with little to no success. Truth be told, most of the time you never really put a lot of effort and/or determination into the process, right?
I do know this for a fact: What you put into your body and how much you "work" your body (exercise) makes a BIG impact on how you think and feel. Again, that is a fact!
I suggest you make a decision to do ONE thing in the area of exercise per day and ONE thing in the area of "making a better choice" when it comes to your diet. Nothing major, nothing difficult....just one thing.
Let me prepare you with this right up front...CHANGE IS NOT EASY!
Here are a few suggestions and I'd love to hear YOUR suggestions as well...
In the area of exercise: If you are able to park your car further away from the door at work, do it. If you can, park further away from the main entrance at any store, the post office and basically, anywhere and everywhere that you must park. It's really a simple task but, friend, let me tell you, the "old you" is going to keep telling you that you don't really want to make that extra effort. But, come on...you gotta' get started with something! Also, if you do have some exercise equipment that you've turned into a place to drape your clothes, clean that sucker off and start using it! You don't have to "go crazy" on it but just start doing a little bit of time on it...do SOMETHING! For example, I have a "Total Gym" that I bought several years ago and was really doing good using until I hurt my back one day and had to stay off of it for a while. But, I didn't need to stay off of it for as long as I did. It was hard for me to convince myself that I needed to actually DO something instead of just telling myself that I "needed to". When I was working out on it before, I would spend about 30 minutes on it and, to be honest, now with a different job, I really didn't want to get up 30 minutes early to do that and I sure didn't want to come home after a day of work to do my workout. So I decided to reduce the amount that I had done before and simply get up 15 minutes earlier for my workout. The main thing is that I am forcing myself into getting into the habit of doing the exercise and, on top of just getting into the habit, I know it is doing me some good physically. There are all kinds of things that you can do just to get into the habit (that's the key, do not let this be a 1 or 2 week effort) of doing something once a day over the next year. Just get up and walk around your office during the day. Yes, take the stairs instead of the escalator even though your "old you" will tell you not to do so. Hey, you CAN do this and it WILL make a difference!
In the area of making smarter food choices: Again, remember, I struggle with this BIG time! Like I've already said, this does not have to be something dramatic that causes you to get stressed out but it does need to be something. For example, popcorn is not that big of a deal but I was eating at least one bag - and sometimes two - every night. I stopped that a long time ago. Interestingly, I did have a bag a couple of weeks ago and, guess what? After I finished it, I really wished I hadn't eaten it. It didn't taste that good to me and I actually felt "blah" when I was done. I like sweets! I haven't restricted myself completely from that but I am trying to do better with that (remember, I am a diabetic) than I have in the past. A few years ago I had my wife cut her cake recipes in half so that I wouldn't be tempted to eat so much cake when I asked her fix me something sweet. And now, I've even gotten to where when I ask her to do that, I will eat some on the first night and end up asking her to take it to her mom and dad. I don't want it any more.
Things that you may consider small are really what I'm talking about here. Just like the exercise, it's all about getting in the habit and THINKING about what you are doing. Are you in the habit of going through that coffee shop drive-through in the morning and getting one of those "milkshakes-disguised-as-coffee" drinks? Maybe start off not doing that for even one day and then two and...eventually you will break the habit of that expensive (money and physical) habit.
Here's another for you that may be hard for you at first because of how "addicted" you may be to it...cut out colas of any kind. Sure, you may need to do the gradual reduction thing like I mentioned in the previous paragraph but, at the same time, you may want to just drop it "cold turkey" and see how quickly you begin to feel better. Again, you CAN do this and it WILL make a difference!
This expanded use of "Project 141" is designed to help all of us operate at the "best us" level that we can and doing better in this area is a vital part of that process.
I want to hear from you. What things can you help add to the list of "doing something once a day" that would help and maybe even inspire others? If you would, you can leave a comment here but I would prefer for you to go to my Facebook page and leave your comments there.
Next, I will be discussing this approach with our relationships. I hope you will join me.
Until next time, always remember, YOU'RE HERE FOR A REASON and, whatever you do, always be sure to...

4 of 6: "SET GOALS!"
"Aim for nothing and you're sure to hit it every time!"
You've likely heard that quote (or something close to it) many times before and, friend, it is the truth! What is YOUR view on that?
I actually have known people over the years that felt that the best way to keep from being disappointed is to simply not do anything. Don't expect anything. Don't hope or wish for anything. Don't set any goals in any area. Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed.
That's true! However, it's also true that if you EXPECT NOTHING by DOING NOTHING, then you will RECEIVE NOTHING! It's that old saying that comes from the Bible, "What you sow, you shall also reap."
It's a very basic premise in planting of ANY kind, whether it be farming or just planting flowers around the yard. What you plant (as well as how MUCH you plant) will determine what (and how much) you "get back" at "harvest time" or when that plant comes to fruition.
YES, all of this DOES have something to do with "Setting Goals"!
If you don't want to be disappointed - don't set goals. If you don't want to become discouraged - don't set goals. If you don't want to improve your life and better yourself - don't set goals. If you don't want to be challenged and/or "stretched" - don't set goals.
Bottom line: ANY of things that I discuss on this blog and through the podcast really relies on one thing - it's the fact that IT'S UP TO YOU if you decide to put any of them into practice!
Hey listen, there are a LOT of people that like to ACT LIKE, TALK LIKE and PRETEND that they are doing things to make a difference in their life but, when it gets down to it, it's just that...it's jut an ACT, a bunch of TALK and nothing but PRETEND!
What sets YOU apart is when you decide to actually put ACTION behind the words and plans.
In reality, "Setting Goals" is just PART of the process. To be honest, ANYONE can SET a goal - that's the easy part! At that point, it's just talk.
It's when you TAKE STEPS TOWARD THAT GOAL that the change begins to take place and you begin to set yourself apart from all of the "talkers". You now become a "doer"!
One can talk about taking a trip to a certain place - maybe even to go and visit family members. They can talk about it and say over and over again that they PLAN to do so "one of these days". However, until that person actually PLANS the actual time needed and then actually takes the steps of scheduling time off from work, double-checks with that family member that it is a good time to come for a visit and GETS IN THE CAR, starts it up and heads out (or gets on a plane, etc) it's nothing but talk and that visit will never take place.
The KEY is ACTION.
Setting goals is one thing. Actively MOVING TOWARD those goals is something completely different and, again, it is here that the change begins to take place.
Once again, if you haven't done so yet, you need to listen to the podcast on
today's topic. Just click one of the links at the bottom of this article
to do so. There is SO MUCH MORE information and additional thoughts that I share with you there that is not found in this article.
If
you listen by going to iTunes, please take a moment and leave a review -
I thank you in advance! Also, be sure to stop by the FYU fan page on Facebook and let me know that you left that review AND to just say "hello" and let me know that you are benefiting from Future You University.
Join me in the next article as I bring to a conclusion my discussion of these 6 important "tasks" for our life from my "POWER Board". I'll be covering #5: Don't Quit and #6: No Excuses! Be sure to join me as I wrap up this discussion.
And, until next time, whatever you do, be sure to...

A Great Attitude Becomes...
How does one become an adult?
Yes, I understand that there are certain rare diseases that a baby can be born with that causes them to grow old very quickly. But, in an "ordinary" situation, how does one develop into an adult?
Does a child grow into an adult in a week? A month? A year? Five years? Ten years?
I also understand that, in different cultures, children are considered "adults" at different ages. But, even with that being true, it doesn't happen overnight.
One day at a time, right? And, for most parents, those days seem to speed up as time goes by and, before they know it, their child is an adult with a child of their own.
Oh, believe me, I know. I have three sons that are all adults and two of them are married and, on top of that, our oldest has two children of his own.
We understand the concept of how things happen gradually just as is true in a child's education. Yes, again I understand that there are some situations where a child "genius" moves ahead in his schooling. However, a child is never born and then receives his High School diploma the next week.
So, again, we all understand the idea of a process that involves time and progression.
So it is with the wording found on the graphic above. Every life is made up of years, which are made up of months, which are made up of days, which are made up of hours, minutes and seconds.
So, getting down to it, our life is made up of TODAY - one day at a time. And, what we do with TODAY (the seconds, minutes and hours that make today what it is) matters.
And, what we do TODAY is greatly dependent upon our ATTITUDE. That's right, our attitude.
Do you want to have a better day? Develop a better attitude.
Do you want to have a better month? Year? Life? Same answer...develop a better attitude.
Allow that "great attitude" to transform your seconds, minutes, hours and days which, in turn, will transform your weeks, months, years and - yes - THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Attitude. How's yours?
Believe it or not (it's your choice, right?) our attitude really IS that important and impactful.
Until next time, whatever you do, always be sure to...

If You Want Something...
I wish I had more income coming in. I wish I had the ability to not worry about so many bills. I wish I had more money in the bank. I wish I got along better with my kids. I wish my spouse and I didn't fight so much. I wish I got along better with my co-workers....
You can keep adding onto that list any way that you can (and there are MANY more things that most of us could add) and end up feeling pretty bad about life.
Are you ALIVE today? Let me help you out with that one....if you are reading this, then the answer is YES!
As you look back at that "list" of things that you wish were different there are TWO choices that you have:
1. Keep doing what you're doing and know that NOTHING will change
2. Do something that you've never done - MAKE A CHANGE in what you do
Continue to do what you're doing and, even as you approach your departure from this life on earth, you will still be whining about what you wish was different.
I don't know about you, but I want to come to the end of my life with as FEW regrets as I possibly can!
Are there things I wish I had done differently in my past? ABSOLUTELY!
However, I cannot go back and change those things. I might be able to do something about the IMPACT of some of those actions but, quite honestly, there are many that I simply cannot do anything about. I can also do all that I can to try to share with my own sons so that THEY don't repeat the same mistakes.
Here's the key thing that I CAN do: I can (and will) do all that I can TODAY in a different way so that my FUTURE will not be full of those type of regrets! In other words, what I do TODAY will impact all of my "TOMORROWS".
Attending an event like the one that I've been telling you about for some time now MIGHT be something that is totally DIFFERENT than what you have ever done before.
THAT'S THE POINT!
(Go to www.DaniJohnson.com and click on the "events" tab for the First Steps to Success event next weekend).
Hey friend, you DO NOT have to keep making the same mistake over and over again. You can, if you don't change what you're doing, but you do NOT have to!
It's up to you....as it always is.
As you prepare to CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER, be sure to...

Say It and BELIEVE It!
This is "FUN FRIDAY!" - Enjoy your day and don't forget to SMILE and SHARE that smile!
This week we have looked at the first four of my "7 Life-Changing, Life-Directing, Powerful Daily Affirmations" and, today, I want to take a look back and check your progress.
One of the EASIEST things to do is to TALK about what you want to do or need to do and then to NEVER do it! Hey, we see this every day, right? You can easily spot it in those that are around you but, the fact is, it's also easy for us to spot it in ourselves but we just don't want to ADMIT it about ourselves!
It's EASY to say, "I'll start doing these affirmations TOMORROW" and to keep repeating that each and every time we are blessed with a new day. Bottom line - it never gets done and our lives remain the same while we scratch our heads and wonder why nothing is changing.
DUH!
So, truthfully, how are you doing with this so far? Are you actually TRYING this out to see if, perhaps, it WILL make a difference in your day? If not, WHY NOT?
Don't just give it the four days that have passed so far! Try it for a solid month and see if, for one, it doesn't get easier to do and, secondly, if it doesn't start becoming something that you begin to FEEL in your day.
I can promise you that there are many of you that are reading this that have a hard time BELIEVING these affirmations. You feel foolish saying them because you don't believe them in the first place. DO IT ANYWAY and say it ANYWAY and see if your belief about these things and yourself don't begin to change.
THEY WILL!
But you MUST say these things repeatedly (DAILY) and you must allow yourself to BELIEVE them to be true - even if you're not 100% sure in the beginning.
Beginning Monday I will continue with the remaining three affirmations but, instead of waiting until I've covered all seven, I wanted to do a "check up" on what I've covered with you so far this week.
Write them out or print them out and post them on or right next to your mirror and then SAY THEM and BELIEVE THEM! It WILL make a difference.
Until next time...

Reaching Out for Something Better
"Reaching Out for Something Better"In the last entry I discussed how I - along with likely everyone that is reading this blog - seem to have this "something" in me/us that causes me/us to feel that there is something 'better" out there for us and that WE MUST GO AFTER IT if - IF - we really DO desire to do so.
No one else can do it for us, remember?
Is this a BAD thing? The reason I ask is because I am sure that some of you might even feel guilty for wanting something "better". Why is that a bad thing?
Some will even try to make it a spiritual matter and talk about the Bible teaching that we shouldn't want something "better" than what we have and that we should be content. Well, I DO know what the Bible says about that and, my friend, you are taking things out of context if you feel that we should not strive to better ourselves. "Nuff said about that for now.
Listen to me for a moment on this - by bettering ourselves and our situations we can position ourselves to help even MORE people than we are able to do right now. Make sense? Think about it.
Think about this as well - do you not want things to be better for your kids? Do you not EXPECT them to better themselves in many areas?
OF COURSE YOU DO! And "we" do as a society as well!
If you come across an individual that is 35 years old and is still wearing diapers and sucking on a baby bottle (for NO reasons that has to do with any kind of mental impairment or physical impairment) - WOULD YOU NOT BE APPALLED AT THIS?
Yes, you would! But, could this not happen if - first of all - this person's parents never expected them to move beyond that stage in their development when it was time? And, would you not also agree that the individual themself would desire to move on from that activity once they realize that those around them have done so?
I mean, seriously, do you not think that when this individual started kindergarten they MIGHT notice that no one else is going to class wearing diapers and sucking on a baby bottle? Even if they were a bit stubborn, do you think they MIGHT begin to want to "fit in" a little better by the time they reached 5th grade or so?
OF COURSE THEY WOULD!
Now, I know that was a simplistic example but, again (I've said this many times before) the profound can be FOUND in the simple!
Too many of us have given up. Would you agree?
My guess is that even YOU have "given up" from time to time on this whole process of "bettering yourself".
Another way to word that is "personal development". Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, NOW I get it!
Believe me, there are many other ways to "better yourself" beyond just the personal development and there is still that "something" in me/us that propels us forward to try to identify that "something" and go after it.
But, bottom line - if we don't even have the desire to better ourselves by improving our mindset then, by my way of thinking, we are destined to stay right where we are.
Diapers, baby bottles and all.
Give some thought to that and see if you don't agree. Friend, you wouldn't be reading this at all if you didn't have the desire to find something positive to help with your mindset.
And I thank you for taking the time to read THIS particular article.
And, yes, I will be continuing my discussion on this in the days and weeks to come.
As always, I also welcome your comments and thoughts but I DO prefer that you post them on my Facebook fan page:
www.facebook.com/FutureYouUniversity
I look forward to reading your thoughts.
Until next time, be sure to...
"Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"
