SEE IT! WANT IT! GET IT!


 Now, for some people, the title of this particular article may "rub them the wrong way" in that they think it sounds "greedy" and unlike something I should be promoting.
 
Here's a couple of things I suggest before you settle on that thought and opinion. First of all, be sure to read all of this article and, secondly, watch the video and/or listen to the podcast version of this topic (links below for both). Then decide if you still think that same way.
 
You shouldn't and I don't think you will.
 
This is a SIMPLE (to say and agree with) 3-step process for anyone that wants to move ahead in their life and for their future in a positive and better way. 
 
Whatever your "goal" (resolution??) is for your life, you must SEE IT first and foremost. You have to be able to see YOURSELF as part of that goal vision! If you can't see yourself living that life that you desire or if you feel that you don't deserve a better life then, friend, you NEVER will be able to move forward and actually obtain that better and brighter future.  
 
So, you "see" it (whatever "it" is). Do you want it? How bad do you want it? How strong is your desire, your "why" behind that want and desire? Do you HAVE TO HAVE IT? Are you willing to "pay the cost" in whatever way is necessary? "Whoa, Mike, slow down there buddy! I want everything to get better as long as I don't have to change anything!" Yeah, we covered that silly (and worthless) thought a few articles ago. Go back and read it if you haven't done so already.  
 
Then, if you DO want it and you feel that you MUST have it in order to finally live the life you have dreamed about, then you must GO GET IT!  You've heard it and you know it's true...TALK IS CHEAP!
DESIRE without ACTION is worthless! 
 
By the way, if you still feel that this all sounds greedy (it's not), I'd like to direct you to what the Apostle Paul says in the New Testament in the book of Philippians, chapter 3 and verses 12-14. Read the previous verses for context and then pay close attention to what he says in verse 14..."I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
 
Paul says that he PRESSED ON for the GOAL to win the PRIZE...
 
He saw the goal...the PRIZE of Heaven that he WANTED so badly that he was ready and willing to do whatever he needed to do so that he could "obtain" or have it. As a matter of fact, in the last half of verse 13 he states what he was doing in order to keep his eyes focused on "the prize". Pay attention to what he says here:  "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead..."
 
This is not some "prosperity preaching". Nope! It is a BIBLICAL EXAMPLE given on how to ACHIEVE that for which you seek. 
 
So, no, it's not a "greedy grab" type of life. Do some people use that idea and misuse it for their own greedy gain? ABSOLUTELY! But not you! Not us!
 
Listen to the podcast and/or watch the video...I got fired up on this one! I'm here to help YOU finally move forward past all of failed plans from your past and all of the useless "New Year's Resolutions" that you, along with so many others, have "declared" only to put it to the side in just a few, short weeks. 
 
Isn't it time? JOIN MY COMMUNITY if you are ready to start taking some ACTION and not just continue to READ about these thoughts and ideas or listen to them! 
 
Will you be one of the "action takers" that step up and say, "I'm ready! LET'S DO THIS!" ?  (and yes, it's free to sign up and join).
 
Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE. 
 
As always..."Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

What Will YOU Choose?


 Here's a powerful quote from the late, Jim Rohn, that this article is based upon...                                          “Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?” 
 
 I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to hear Jim Rohn speak in person before he passed away. I had no idea who he was when I first heard him but I soon found out that he had so much valuable information that he had been sharing for years that I absorbed everything of his that I could after that. POINT TO REMEMBER: If you have the opportunity - especially in person - to hear someone along the lines of a Jim Rohn,  you need to DO IT and not hesitate! You never know how long that opportunity will exist and making that move could have a profound impact upon your life! (This actually goes along with what I'm talking about in this article today).
 
In the Bible, Genesis 2:7 tells us that God breathed life into man! Wow! That, my friend, is what sets us apart from all of the other living, breathing creatures on this planet.                                                   Because God has breathed HIS BREATH into us - mankind - we have been MADE FOR MORE!!! 
 
But, as Jim Rohn mentioned in that quote up there, we - mankind - have been given the ability and the opportunity o CHOOSE what we want to do in and for our lives.   
 
And, the sad part is, most choose to do far less than they can. Too often, we choose to do "just enough to get by". I mean, hey, why do more?
 
BECAUSE YOU CAN!  
 
What if you began to STEP UP and STEP IN to living UP TO your FULL POTENTIAL? 
 
I'm just going to let that set and "simmer" for you to consider. You need to go watch the video and/or listen to the podcast for more thoughts on this. And then, guess what? YOU NEED TO TAKE ACTION!
#1 action step: SIGN UP FOR MY FREE COMMUNITY ON SKOOL. The link is below and there is NO reason for you not to do so. Unless you just want to stay where you are. In that case, there's nothing I can do for you You have to WANT to make the change necessary in order to reach the life you say you desire.  
 
The ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

Get Rid of Old Ways (G.R.O.W.)


 This article goes hand in hand with the recent one that talked about the idea that some people have that they want everything to be BETTER as long as THEY don't have to change. 

*Buzzer Sound* WRONG ANSWER!

As the graphic above illustrates, if we actually want things to be BETTER in and for our lives then we MUST "Grow"...we must "Get Rid of Old Ways". 

I talk about this type of thing ever time I record a video, a podcast or write a blog article. So...what now?

First and foremost, you must make a DECISION about what you truly want for your life and the lives of those around you. Not an empty "resolution" made every year at the start of every new year but an actual FIRM COMMITTMENT, a DETERMINATION of necessary change and improvement. 

I'm telling you for sure, one thing that you can actually DO and not cost you any money to DO, is to sign up and join my community on Skool (link below). Why? Because you MUST do something to "Get Rid of Your Old Ways" which means it's time to DO SOMETHING NEW. 

Join (again, it's free) and introduce yourself. I'll welcome you personally and we'll start the process of getting you finally following through and being able to "Finish What You Start" (the name of my community). 

Now then...what will you actually do? "For things to change, things have to change. If nothing changes, nothing changes." 

As always..."Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

I Want EVERYTHING to Get Better...IF

Here's the rest of the quote that I heard from Myron Golden the other day..."I want things to get better IF I can stay the same."

Now, that would be comical IF it weren't so sad. You may be like me in that I've actually known of - and heard - people saying things things that indicate that, indeed, they really DO believe it!

You and I both know, it just doesn't work that way.

You've heard it said many different ways before along the lines of what I put together in the above graphic several years ago. Again, IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! It's actually "common sense" which, often, is NOT so common. 

What about you? If you admit to yourself that you have settled into this mind trap then ask yourself what are you going to DO to change that mindset? Reading things like this, listening to things like my podcast or watching things like my videos are GREAT tools to use but, friend, if you never actually take ACTION on the things that you absorb and learn...what good does it do you? Here's your answer: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired when it comes to the realization of this problem in and with your life then it's time to put that behind you and, finally, STEP FORWARD and take some action. Would you like me to give you an EASY step with which to begin? 

Sure, keep reading this blog. If you've not done so, start listening to the podcast...maybe several times throughout your day. Watch the videos. Like, follow and share with as many other people as possible that likely struggle with this as well. But, here is likely the BEST and MOST SIMPLE step to take...JOIN MY SKOOL COMMUNITY (the link is listed below) and get involved there.

Why? Because there will be interaction there instead of just reading, listening and/or watching something. As this community grows, you will be surrounded with like-minded individuals that are also on the road to changing and improving their lives. No, this will NOT be a "whiners convention"...that simply won't be allowed. For example, I will be doing a LIVE STREAM tomorrow night (Thursday, 7.30.26 @ 7 p.m. CST) that is only available to those that have joined the community. It will be interactive! If you have already missed that date, join up and be watching because I will likely try to do this at least once a week and, maybe, even 2x per week. 

The link to join THIS particular live event is:  https://www.skool.com/live/flGcrMzhx5s

So, there you have it...a beginning solution to a problem that you likely - like many others - have battled for years. Isn't time to finally DO SOMETHING about it in order to MAKE THAT CHANGE (for the better) in and for your life? Yes. It is.  

And, as always..."Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"
