Action Removes Doubt

If you've never taken the opportunity to do so when I have mentioned this before, I want to tell you that you NEED to go to www.DaniJohnson.com and check out what this lady has to share and offer you and anyone that goes to her site. There is a LOT of free stuff for you there. This lady KNOWS what she is talking about - that's why I share stuff from her so often on the Facebook fan page that you can access here.

 

It's been said many times in many different ways by many different people but what you see said in the graphic above comes from Dani Johnson for this day: "ACTION takes you out of doubt, while doubt takes you OUT OF ACTION!"

 

Doubt - or FEAR - can and will paralyze you, freeze you, to the point of doing nothing. This only creates more doubt and/or fear due to the lack of results. It is a vicious downward spiral that CAN be corrected but it can only be corrected with ACTION!

 

Hey friend, I'm speaking to myself here as well!

 

I did come up with this little phrase a few years back that applies today: "If you want the plan to work you must work the plan!"

 

There was a time in my life a little over twenty years ago when I was out of work and, partly due to this, I slipped into a deep depression. One of the most frustrating things about this was also something that added to the depression. The very thing(s) that I knew I NEEDED to be doing - HAD to be doing, I did not - COULD NOT, do. I KNEW that I needed to get out of bed and go find a job - ANY job...but I just couldn't do it. Now, if you've never been through that I understand that you cannot understand that concept but, if you have been there, then you know exactly what I'm describing.

 

The very thing I needed to do to help (at least to some point) my current state of affairs was not being done which simply added to the frustration, depression and desperation.

 

I promise that I'm not trying to be over-dramatic on this but it really does relate to what we are talking about today.

 

ACTION is a necessity in ANY desire and attempt toward improvement in any area of life. Specifically for this discussion, ACTION is a necessity in any job or opportunity designed to help improve your financial situation.

 

Many are afraid and/or doubtful of their ability to do what is needed and, as a result, add to their own frustration and desperation - and DOUBT - by their very actions (or LACK of actions).

 

To change up a well known commercial phrase: "Just GET UP and DO IT!"

 

You've often heard that the only way to overcome a fear is to face it.

 

ACTION removes doubt AND fear.

 

It's as simple as that but, at the same time, one of the hardest things to DO. But, do it, you MUST!

 

And, as you do so, be sure to...

There is HOPE!

"As long as there is breath, there is hope!"

It's hard to believe, but it has been three years since I first began doing my podcast back on March 2, 2009. And, the very first podcast I did was focused on another of my catch phrases that I use as often as I can - it's the phrase that you see just below the image above... "As long as there is breath, there is hope!" 

What message is more needed today - RIGHT NOW - than a message of hope? We live in a world - not just in our own country, but the WORLD - that seems to increasingly lose sight of hope. Desperation, depression, discouragement, doubt and defeat. This is NOT the life of a winner and it is NOT the life that was designed for you to live!

I do believe that even in the midst of dire situations one can find HOPE. I do believe that it is imperative that one DOES find hope in such situations!

Several years ago I was in a defeated state of mind. I had applied for several jobs that I was qualified to fill and usually had not problem in getting. However, I kept running into roadblocks and, at the time, I had no idea why. One night after receiving another phone call telling me that I did not get the position applied for, I lay in bed with tears in my eyes and told my wife, "I have lost all hope." That's right - I was WAY down and honestly felt that all hope was gone. Thank God for women like my wife who replied, "Mike, if we lose hope, what do we have?"

THAT'S RIGHT! If we lose hope, what do we have? I can answer that for you - NOTHING!

This is why people that feel that they have lost all hope many times feel that they have nothing to live for and, often, attempt and sometimes succeed in taking their own lives.

LISTEN TO ME - as long as you are ALIVE...as long as you are BREATHING - THERE IS HOPE! Regardless of how "dark" things may seem and no matter how "hopeless" your life and situation may seem. God has given you the ability to THINK, REASON and ACT upon those thoughts and your reasoning.

Know this - it likely will NOT be a speedy process but you CAN and MUST understand that you CAN and MUST start taking steps TODAY to make changes in your life. It may be simply making changes on what you allow into your mind - get rid of the negative and replace it with the positive! It may be you changing the way you interact with your family or your coworkers or whoever it may be TODAY. Start TODAY! Don't try to do it all at once, but start making changes NOW.

You are breathing, you are alive and you are ABLE to do what it takes to change the direction that your life is headed at this time. "As long as there is breath there is HOPE!"

There is likely someone out there waiting for YOU to impact their life in a powerful and positive way. Who? I have no idea. When? Again, I have no idea. But here's the key - neither do YOU! But you never know who you will come into contact with that needed your smile or kind word.

Dictionary.com lists this as the first definition for the word "hope" - "the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best".

Whatever you do, NEVER GIVE UP! Whatever you do, NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!

Why? Once again, without hope, you have nothing and, my friend, you have EVERYTHING to live for, to work for, to love for when you have HOPE!

Get it? Got it? Good!

Thanks for being a part of Future You University - especially those of you that have been with me over the past three years. And, for those of you that are "newcomers" - I encourage you to stay with me and let me hear from you. I love getting feedback from my readers/listeners.

Fighting Desperation Video - Part 1

Fighting Desperation

Well friends, it's been a while since I've posted anything on here but I "got the itch" and HAD to do some more stuff since it's been so long.

I have recently posted four videos (one of them is a 3-part series with the same name as this article) on the Future You University fan page (you can access that via http://www.futureyouuniversity.com/). They can also be found on Youtube (just search "Mike Spillman" and you'll find them..."Mike Spillman's 'Two-Minute Drill').

Anyway, this last set on "Fighting Desperation" is one that I think most - if not all - of us can relate to as many struggle through the tough economy.

In part 2 of this series I break down some figures to help us all "shake free" from the "mind-freeze" that can come from desperation. When I break something down like this it helps me to see the REAL possibilities that are available TO me and FOR me - even when I struggle.

In part 3 I encouraged each of you to share some ideas on different ways that a person can put an extra $500 - $1000 in their pockets each week.

TOGETHER we can all help each other make it through these tough times AND feel good about helping in such a way!

Again, whether it's a T-shirt, an e-book or ANY kind of product....selling 10 @ $20 each day (OR selling 20 @ $10 each) will put $1000/week in our pockets! And, yes, you can bring that down even further if you need to by selling 10 @ $10 or 20 @ $5 each in order to put an extra $500/week in your pocket.

Here's one that I'd like to share. It's simply sharing a link to a FREE e-book (nope, I didn't even have to write this one!). Too, there is a LOT of SUPER information for ANYONE that either is or would like to get involved in some sort of on-line activity.

It costs you NOTHING to check it out and downloading the FREE e-book costs you nothing as well! Too, your not even asked to provide any e-mail address or other information in order to download this.

Check it out for yourself:

NOW, HERE IS WHERE YOU COME IN....

Please leave thoughts and ideas that YOU have that can help others in this tough time. Just leave a comment for others to read and let's all share/brainstorm together to get our minds moving - once again - in a POSITIVE and POWERFUL direction!

Thanks for your help and, as always...

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