GET UP! (Look Up and then GET Up!)


In my last article we discussed the "simple" 4-Step Process for Success stating the need to "LOOK UP! GET UP! GET GOING! KEEP GOING!"

We focused on the first part, which was, "LOOK UP!"  and how important it is for each of us, no matter how difficult things may seem - to keep our heads UP and our eyes UP so that we can see what is taking place around us and the possible OPPORTUNITIES that may be around us even when we don't feel that such a thing even exists. 

 Ephesians 6:13... "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, TO STAND."

 So, in that particular situation discussed in Ephesians, the same is true in this whole discussion! It's GREAT that - in the Scripture example - someone would do all that they could to prepare for battle by putting on the necessary armor, BUT...all of that does NO good at all if you don't ever actually STAND UP and go out TO the battle!

So, it's GREAT that you now have begun to LOOK UP and notice what's going on around you and, maybe even notice OPPORTUNITY that is all around you but...

 If you never actually GET UP so that you can ENGAGE with and TAKE ADVANTAGE of any and all opportunity that may present itself, what good does it do? Short answer - NONE!

You're read me writing this before and, if you've watched my videos and/or listened to my podcasts, you've also heard me say this many times in the past: TALK IS CHEAP!

 I get it! I've "been there, done that" and have sat and sat and sat and sat, all the while SAYING I wanted to take action but, for whatever reason (excuses), I simply stayed where I was. I KNEW I WAS BETTER THAN THAT and, likely, YOU feel the same way and KNOW, deep down inside, that the same is true about YOU, friend!

So, don't just LOOK UP but, friend, you know it's time and you know it's PAST time to actually GET UP and start taking action. How? You GET GOING and you KEEP going - which we'll be talking about in the next couple of articles. 

SPECIFIC STEPS TO TAKE RIGHT NOW:                                                                                          

1. Be sure to listen to the PODCAST and/or watch the VIDEO on this topic - you'll HEAR and SEE my excitement and enthusiasm about this topic!                                                                                                 

 2. LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, FOLLOW and SHARE on EVERY source you see listed below.                     

3. JOIN my new community on Skool, create a post to introduce yourself and GET CONNECTED!   (it's free and I'll connect with you personally.                 

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

Easy to Do - Easy NOT to Do!



 True, I will say that this is an "easy" 4 Step Process on how to make positive PROGRESS toward a better and brighter future in and for your life. But, as it says in the graphic above, it's EASY TO DO and it's also EASY NOT TO DO!
 
That doesn't change the TRUTH of what is being presented in this article (also my podcasts and videos...see links below) but it does acknowledge that, perhaps, it may be even easier for most NOT to do and implement in and for their lives and their future. 
 
You know "the drill", right? We get discouraged, frustrated and distracted and we tend to walk around with our heads down - figuratively AND literally at times. Have you ever wondered what all you have MISSED by doing so?
 
This actually ties in very closely to the series that I just completed talking about "See It - Want It - Get It!". If and when we walk around with our heads hanging down we simply MISS OUT on so many GOOD THINGS and maybe even many OPPORTUNITIES! 
 
If you've followed me for very long at all you've likely heard me say something along the lines of, "Opportunity Doesn't Always Knock! Sometimes You Have to Go Out There and Tackle That Sucker Out on The Sidewalk!"
 
But you won't ever see it (DON'T SEE IT!) with your head down. 
 
Paul, in the 3rd chapter of the book of Philippians says that (and I'm paraphrasing... I shared this a few weeks ago and you can also look it up for yourself...it's around verse 13-15) he kept his eyes "on the prize" of the calling that God had for his life! He put EVERYTHING else behind him...he focused...kept his head up and his eyes open!
 
So, there's your assignment...step #1: LOOK UP! 
 
Try it out for yourself by putting it into practice TODAY...NOT tomorrow or next week. 
 
Oh, and another "assignment" is for you to sign up for free and join my community on Skool...check the link out below!
 

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

Don't GET IT?!?


 In this last installment of this "SEE IT - WANT IT - GET IT" series, we will focus on the last part that you see emphasized in the above graphic: "DON'T GET IT?"

Now, right off the start that, if you haven't done so already, be sure to read all of the previous article in this series so that you can fully "connect" to this final installment. (You may also want to connect to the podcast and the YouTube videos - all links below).

 I've been talking about the fact that there may be many different reasons as to why you - or anyone else - simply DON'T or CAN'T "see it", "want it" and/or "get it". for many, it's not that they don't have a desire for something better in and for their life but they simply don't have the necessary belief system that can support that desire or dream. They just CAN'T see it as a real possibility in/for their life and because they DON'T or CAN'T "see it" ("it" is that dream or desire) and, as a simple result of this process, they DON'T get it and WON'T get it.Why? You CANNOT GET what you don't see or want!

And, again, if you're o.k. with staying where you are for the rest of your life then, guess what? IT'S YOUR LIFE! But, I choose to believe that most of you that are reading this article right now DO have "something" deep inside of you that is "burning" and waiting to be fanned into a mighty flame! 

How sad it is when you have within you the very things you need to live a bigger and better life. I do believe that you DO have, inside of you, what you need and you have it right now. It's there. Waiting to be uncovered, fanned into that burning flame  that I mentioned earlier. 

So, HOW CAN YOU DISCOVER and UNCOVER "that thing" that is "HIDDEN" deep inside? 

Simple answer: you need help to do so!

Yep. 

And, you probably already know what I'm going to say next. I CAN HELP YOU do just that! In case you don't quite get that, let me ask you another question - If you, on your own, had the ability and/or knowledge to do this, don't you think you would already be enjoying some success in that area?

Here your next step. Of course, that depends on whether or not you actually WANT to uncover and discover what you have waiting for you and your future. The next step is for you to go to my community on Skool (link below) and sign up, for free, to be a part of that community. When you do, introduce yourself with a post and I will welcome you personally and we will begin the process right then and there!

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

Don't WANT It?

Be sure to go back and read all of the preceding articles in this series that started with, "SEE IT - WANT IT - GET IT" and follow through step by step. ESPECIALLY make sure you read the article right before this one because they definitely connect. 

I've actually met some people, in my lifetime, that have said that they truly have no desire for any improvement or change in and for their life. They were completely satisfied with where they were and, you know what? THAT'S O.K. These people that I'm talking about weren't lazy. They were simply satisfied with where they were in life.

But, I've ALSO talked to some people that said the same thing and they were barely getting by and their family (spouse, kids, etc.) was suffering because of this mentality and, yes, they WERE lazy and were satisfied with the government stepping in to help them barely survive.  Honestly, for the most part, THAT mentality is very difficult to overcome if it's possible at all. 

And, finally, I've heard people say that they "Don't Want It" ("it" being something better) because they didn't fully believe that "it" was really even possible for them. As talked about in the last article, they DON'T (or CAN'T) See 'IT" so they don't even really know if they want it. Why? YOU CAN'T WANT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE and YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE!

 For many that find themselves in this situation that I mentioned in this last paragraph, there still seems to be "something" that burns within them that causes them to wonder if, indeed, they should even dream or desire of something better and if they COULD ever even possibly live their dream or desire.

YES, YOU CAN! 

Now, let's be real here. A lot of that does depend on some level of practicality, right? For example, I'm 66 years old and if I said my desire was to still play in the NBA then...uh...well, grandpa, you might want to sit down and us have a little talk! BUT, even at 66, if my desire is to have SOME sort of connection with the NBA then there might actually be some things that I might be able to accomplish and reach that goal and dream. (By the way, I don't have that desire). 

Fact is, too many are "afraid" to actually believe that it's possible. Maybe you've been told by family and friends that you just settle for "your lot in life" and don't expect anything better. Maybe you've expressed such a desire and were met with words such as, "Who are YOU to think you can do better? Who do you think you are??" and so, you just put that desire and dream back in the closet. 

Maybe - over the years - you've simply given up to where you CAN'T SEE IT any longer and, as a result, you DON'T WANT IT any longer.

So, yeah, just as this graphic states...WAKE UP and PAY ATTENTION!

I have been telling you - encouraging you - OFFERING you the opportunity for you to join my FREE community on Skool ("Finish What You Start") to join up with me PERSONALLY and to begin to get the help and guidance you likely need to REGAIN YOUR VISION and your FOCUS to move toward your dreams and desires. 

Now, I don't know that I've ever done this in my blog article but, I just stepped away from my writing and, when I sat back down to finish up, I felt a real "push" to share something with you spiritually. I'm not talking about the world's idea of "mystical/spiritual" but spiritual as in your souls relationship to God. I am a minister/preacher and I feel that there is someone - RIGHT NOW - reading this that NEEDS to hear this same idea/approach when it comes to your relationship with God because you have begun to feel that you CAN'T want something better in your relationship because you are a "failure" spiritually. 

Friend, listen to me...if that's you, that is a LIE FROM SATAN himself! I'm just going to share a link with you from a sermon I did just this past Sunday where I simply go through God's Word (the Bible) and share the thought of "Seeing Yourself Through God's Eyes". And, yes, I can help you with that as well. Here's the link:  https://youtube.com/live/bVkEV6unBVg?feature=share

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

DON'T "See" It?

 

As we start this article, let's try to clear something up...when it comes to desiring/wanting something BETTER in and for our lives, do you sometimes feel that you DON'T See "It" (that better future) or is it more than you simply CAN'T See "It"?

I would suggest that both would apply because I believe that they go hand in hand with each other. Think about it by using this is the "real", physical world. Let's say someone using binoculars tells you that they see an elk that is beyond your natural ability to see due to the distance. The can tell you about it and describe it to you and may even ask you, "Do you see it?" or "Can you see it?"

Well, in THAT scenario, you can't do EITHER, right? You DON'T see it because you CAN'T see it. And, not to get too confusing, you also CAN'T see it because you DON'T see it. 

Now then, when it comes to your desired "better future", why is it that, often, we have a hard time visualizing that better future in our lives...SEEING that better future ("it")?

I was going to type the words, "Do me a favor" but, you know what? Saying it more correctly would be for me to type, "Do YOURSELF a favor" by spending some time asking yourself the question, "What is BLOCKING MY VISION?"

For example, in the above example, you couldn't see the elk because you didn't have the tool in your hand that would allow you to actually see just as your friend was able to see...the binoculars, right? So, WHAT tool, what mindset, what...._________ will you need/DO you need in order to finally "See" that better future? YOU must think and begin to fill that blank and, yes, there likely will be MORE than one answer. 

Here's the thing, friend. I CAN and WILL help you with this but...here's the kicker...you have to reach out and let me know that you'd like my help. I can't SEE your need without you providing the proper tool for me to do so. In this case, it's you letting me know. 

One of the easiest ways to do so is to join my community (link below) on Skool and introduce yourself. When you do, I will personally welcome you into the community and that is when we connect and you can tell me about your struggle and what it is that you desire in and for your life.  

 Yes, it's free to join and I'll get you started heading in the right direction just like I try to do with my blog articles, podcasts and videos.

And, yes, there will be opportunity for you to dive deeper if you so desire.

Bottom line: will you stay "blind" to what waits for you and your future? 

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.
