Greetings Good People,

Today we are discussing a very important topic, expectations. They are critical to consider because then tend to lead your life. People with low expectations usually reach them. While people with high expectations are typically enhanced by doing so.

Isn’t it about time that you started to have high expectations of yourself, your work, your business, your life, your family? Sure it is!

Higher expectations lead to better performance.

What do you think?

Greetings Blog Family,

Today I want to talk with you about the Dream Board that I am constructing.

It dawned on my the other day that we are not getting any younger and our physical vitality isn’t either. Therefore, we have to strike while our irons are hot. Now is our time to set our goals and go for them.

The Dream Board is a concept that helps you in this process. This is a concept that I got from book called, the Power of Focus. You can read it or get by clicking the picture below.

I x V = R

Imagination times Vividness equals Reality. This is the concept I picked up from this book. The book is about a lot more, but this concept is something that stuck with me and it is the backbone of the Dream Board.

Are you going to complete a Dream Board with me?

First in the Mind, then in Reality!

I did it! I finished the Chicago Half Marathon without bursting a lung, walking, stopping, or anything. It was quite a challenge and when I started on this journey to be truthful I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to make it. I was trembling at the start, but I did it despite my fears, concerns, or the fact that I had never ran that far in my life.

It just goes to show you once again that if you set a goal, put your mind to it, that you can do it despite all the obstacles that might be in your way at the moment. Just keep moving forward.

My offical time was 2:24:57, that’s 2 hours, 24 minutes, and 57 seconds. I came in 9,404th place out of 20,000 runners. So, I was in the top half of the competition and it felt really good to complete the race.

Greetings Blog Family,

My nine year old son is an inspirational little guy. On the weekends, he and his little brother like to break out the sleeping bags, get their Nintendo DS, watch TV, and have fun until the early hours of the morning. My wife and I have no problems with this as they don’t have the school the next morning and as long as their isn’t much to do, it is fine with us.

In the mornings, they have to get their sleeping bags together and put them away. Usually, this is a task that requires one of the parents to assist them in making this happen. But one day, I decided to push him a little and encourage him to do it for himself. He told me he couldn’t and I insisted on him giving an earnest effort to try it again.

Well, the results were fantastic and he discovered the joy of making sure there is a difference between today and yesterday.

Enjoy the video and let’s hear your comments below.

Greetings Blog Family,

I am wondering are you dripping with the magic sauce. Cause if you are not, then this is my opportunity to shake you awake and get you to realize that you are cheating yourself. Stop it!! You were with greatness inside of you and it is our job to get it out of you even if  you are unwilling.

The thing about this life that we all share is that we have greatness in us and there is an easy way to find out what that is. You just have to measure your level on the magic sauce. If you don’t know what I am talking about then be sure to take just a moment and watch this video to find out what the magic sauce is, how you can use it, and realize that I have buckets of it around here just for you.

First in the Mind, then in Reality!

Greetings Blog Family,

Life is in the being is more than a mere statement, it is a way of life. We have to stop playing with our existence and acting like we have to jump the hurdles that other people set up for us in order to be successful in our lives. Life is in the being.

This conversation came up because of something my son said to me one day. He mentioned that he wanted to be a great dribbler of the basketball. This comment let to my response of well then you need to dribble.

After all, isn’t dribbling what great dribblers do regularly. Runners run. Jumpers jump. Guitar players  play the guitar. No mater what you want to be in life, you just have to be that and continuously do it to get closer and closet to your potential.

You don’t need anyone to validate your existence. You were born to manifest the glory, power, and beauty inside you. Get it!!!

Greetings Blog Family,

The time has come for us to stop having one night stands in pursuit of our worthy goals and dreams. It is really frustrating to see us waste our energy, dissipating our energy and efforts with all the starting and stopping in pursuit of our goals and dreams. We need consistency.

Consistency is the key

Consistency is a monster because it provides you with two of the essential elements of success that you need to take your business, life, endeavors to the next level.

The elements that I am talking about are confidence and motivation. Confidence grows internally when you perform day and day and create a track record of success that you can feel and is tangible in your life. The momentum comes from from this consistency and creates the energy, enthusiasm, and belief that you need to make everything you desire to happen.

Greetings Blog Family,

Today I wanted to share a great quote with you that is particularly close to me. I have been reading and studying Burton Kaplan for years and this is one of his most profound quotes. We often times get caught, and wrapped up in what other people think and feel about us cause we would like for them to realize our importance, but this is not the way to live a powerful existence.

“You, me, everybody – we’re all subject to a basic fact of human nature; we all need to feel important and to feel that other people recognize our importance.  This means that when we deal with others, the temptation is always present to impress them.  RESIST IT. – Burton Kaplan

I have three reasons for you that you should resist the temptation of impressing other people. These are simple life truths that we should all take to heart, employ in our lives, and thrive as a result.

1. Not Being Your Genuine Self – Stop short changing the world by being like the multitude of people in this world that is unoriginal. You were created to be your magnificent self and by not doing so, you are actually cheating the world of your existence. How will anyone respect and appreciate you if you are never being yourself.
2. They Can See Right Through You – Give other people some credit. If you are not being your original self, it is going to come across that you are being fake. And the people that you are trying so desperately to impress is more than likely sharp enough to notice a fake when they see it. You will actually lose respect and admiration in the process.
3. You Can Still Earn Respect – Being yourself has gotten you this far in your life and remaining that way is going to take you where you desire to be. If you remain steadfast to who you are, continuously add value to the lives of people around you, and live a life of service, then you will not only impress those that you want to, but also others that you might not even realize is watching you.

At the end of the day, be you; cause that is the only one you have and it is the blessing that world needs.

There comes a time in your life when you have to ask yourself this question: If not now, then when?

When are you going to start living the life that you desire and doing the things that you claim you are working so hard for.

The other day, I woke up with the realization that life is filled with many more people that have lived a dream deferred and never actually got to enjoy the things they desired cause they were busy preparing for that moment when it was to occur. They work their entire lives for something, only to die before they have the opportunity to bring it into fruition.

This is not something that I want in my life, nor yours.

Now is our time!
