Power over Past and Present

What is the greatest force impacting your future? Is it your past? Is it your present? Consider your past and present have only as much effect on your future as you allow. What a liberating thought, for if true, it means you can create a future that far transcends the accumulated contents of your past and present circumstances. The past is already set in concrete--unchangeable. The present is viscous--on its way to being congealed. Only the future is fluid, pliable and shapeable--what will you create?

Embrace the thought that you are the single greatest force determining your future. No; you cannot control the happenstance and eventualities of life; and unexplained, unwelcome things do happen. However,you are the one determining their effects on you. You generate the thoughts, desires, actions, events and results, all of which stitch together to shape your future reality.

Taking Action Is by Far Overrated in the Formula for Success       

True, some people are lazy, some plan and never implement, and other hope and never dare. In such cases, the antidote is massive action. But the lack of action, work or effort, is not the main malady that besets the frustrated success seeker, for if it were, the solution would be more work...more action. Every serious success seeker I know is extremely busy, always working, doing and taking action. Many ambitious people work frenetically at two jobs and a side business, but still struggle to reach their goals.  What then is the answer? It is thinking.  

 What you do is a function of how you think. Your sustained behaviors are a manifestation of your thoughts. A successful man does not likely work any harder than a poor man with ambition. Instead, their thinking leads them to different behaviors...different work. Person "A" thinks in a way that values low risk, security, conformity and tradition. This leads him to do traditional, linear work, exchanging time for money. He watches the years pass and his money leave faster than it comes in.  Person "B" thinks of innovative and productive ways to achieve her goals and dreams. This leads her to find leverage, build a team of supporters and carefully undertake more high potential endeavors. She watches her dreams get closer.

ACTION: Take this Power Pill All Week Long
Examine the way you work...what you do every day. Ask yourself: "What thinking leads me to the activities that keep me so busy?" Find someone who is achieving the lifestyle you desire. Seek advice, mentorship or coaching from that person. Observe his or her thinking process and imitate.

Success NoMagic

"After years of positive speaking & personal development
Why's my life still in predicament?"
                                                       --41 Year Old Go-Getter

What is the great secret of life? Be persistent? He who is persistent and lacks judgment is insistent on ruin. Dream big? He who enjoys fantastic dreams without waking and taking action will live a nightmare. Work hard...take action? Without a worthy goal and higher purpose, work your fingers to the bone and all you get is bony fingers. Have a positive attitude? Many who are nice and positive are neither wise nor productive.

The great secret of life is that there is no single secret...no elixir; not genie in a lamp; no magic potion which, alone, will make you successful and happy. Success calls for a maturing march toward an almost illusive place, which in your highest moment, you approach like an asymptote curving toward an axis. All virtues must germinate in you.  No single personal empowerment push will satisfy. But take patience, kindness, thankfulness, humility and like virtues, and combine them with persistence, big dreams, action, attitude and like forces. It is then that you have power to be a success instead of always seeking to find it.

ACTION: Take this Power Pill All Week Long
Continue to work on you. As you seek out greater empowerment, also seek to build your character. And avoid feeling disappointed when breakthrough doesn't happen overnight.

You are The Size of Your Thinking

From King Solomon to Norman Vincent Peale, many great teachers have agreed that our outcomes and rewards are based more on our thoughts--how we think--than on any other identifiable factor. Yet, according to Earl Nightingale, the vast majority of people have their thinking on auto-pilot--living in a sort of semi-conscious haze. 

It is true--thinking without action is impotent; but right thinking precede right action. Thinking is cause, action is catalyst and result is effect. Be different from the average human who, desiring to generate better results, simply takes more action. Such recourse simply generates more of the same results. For improved results, begin by working on your thinking. Is there room to think differently about who you are, your capabilities, what you deserve or your dreams and purpose in life? Improved answers to such questions generate improved actions, which in turn, generate improved results.

ACTION: Take this Power Pill All Week Long

Ask and answer these questions honestly.
1) What is my greatest dream?
2) What do I do better than everybody I know?
3) At the height of my earning potential, how much am I worth per year?

Write your answers and then examine them. Look for limitations. Why aren't your dreams, worth and purpose twice as great, twice as high? Could you limited to by the size of your thinking? How do you expand?

Time Wounds All Heels

"Time is neutral and does not change things.

With courage and initiative, leaders change things" [Jesse Jackson]

Which is truer--that time heals all wounds, or that time wounds all heels?  Despite the best of positive thinking, life doesn't simply get better with time.  Those things that were not right last year won't just fix themselves with the passage of time. You must make conscious decisions, take action and make things different if you want them to be.

In Greek mythology, Achilles was so powerful, he seemed invincible. But his enemy, Paris, learned his secret--Achilles had a weakness in his heels. So Paris struck Achilles in one heel with an arrow and brought him down. However powerful we are in our youth, time knows our secret. It strikes at our heels and every one must succumb eventually. Move and shake the world today while you have the power. Don't depend on Time to heal tomorrow what you should mend today.

ACTION: Take this Power Pill All Week Long
In order for this year to be better than the last, determine what you want and begin to take action. Create and pursue the desired new reality...now, before Time strikes at your heels.

Source of Greatness

"For if the source of your greatness lies only inside of you
Then the scope of your greatness will be limited to the size of you"

Those remarkable words flew unplanned from my lips as I presented to a team from Northwestern Mutual Insurance. Do they grab you like they grabbed me? In all your search for possessions, accomplishments and meaning, all will be futile if you are your only source--for curiously, you are both infinite and finite, both strong and weak, both good and bad. When finitude, weakness and badness seek to overwhelm and take you under, you will be lost and done, if you have no source outside yourself, in which to trust...on which to lean.

If you are the sole source of your strength, you forfeit great advantage. In my own moments of weakness, I have had two dependable resources to revitalize and re-engage me into the march toward greatness: 1) My relationship with a few trusted, beloved persons who believe in me and yearn to do me good, not harm; and 2) The one God who is so powerful that without a string or battery, He hangs the earth in space and makes the wind to blow. Avoid being so self assured, independent and personally powerful that you become isolated spiritually and mentally, as this eventually leads to the dark place where even your past and present conquests become meaningless and futile.

ACTION: Take this Power Pill All Week Long
1. Examine your relationships. Are you close to positive, resourceful, experienced people who can serve as guides and mentors to you? If not, seek out such acquaintances beginning this week. 2. Are you casually acquainted or not at all acquainted with God? If so, seek Him with all your heart this week and in due time, you will surely find Him. Everything changes.

Thinking to Destiny 

Watch your thoughts, for they become words;
Watch your words, for they become actions;
Watch your actions, for they become habits;
Watch your habits, for they become character;
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
                                                                              
What an amazing cascade from your thoughts to your destiny--the outcome of your life itself. Your thoughts are so wispy, ethereal, insubstantial and incorporeal, yet they mesh together to form the fabric of your present reality and your life.

Are you completely satisfied with your present reality? If not, then the most direct way to change it is to change your thinking. Nothing less will manifest the life you seek. Thinking is cause...all the rest is effect. Your actions, habits and character are mere expressions of your thinking. Educate your thinking; liberate your thinking; and elevate your thinking. For only then will the pathway of your destiny be strewn with prosperity, peace and power.

Stop Problem-Solving

Chemotherapists will Never Create a Cure for Cancer.

Unconventional thought: Stop being such a problem solver; problems will always be here; to solve a problem is to focus on it; to focus on a problem is to magnify it; and besides, many problems when solved, spawn other problems. A problem solver is never a great human with positive legacy. Instead, he or she tends to be a tactical operator, arranging temporary improvements within an existing system, when often, the system itself needs to be transcended.  Yes, on the practical plane, some problems demand solutions--as a broken down car must be fixed to operate again. But on the higher plane of life, circumstance and human ambition, problems must be transcended, not fixed.

The solution is to create. Let problems be. Focus on generating your desired end state in life and previous problems will fade or lose relevance. While even the awareness of the problem sucks your energy, your mere involvement in positive, new ventures generates drive, momentum and passion for living. Suspend and forget what's wrong in your life...focus on what you desire to do and become. From George Washington to George Washington Carver; from Martin Luther to Martin Luther King...all were made famous for pursuing the dream not for fixing the nightmare. 

 ACTION: Take this Power Pill All Week Long
Make two lists. #1: The top 3 life experiences, conditions or achievements you desire in for this year. #2: All the problems you currently face related or unrelated to List #1. Fold list #2 and tuck it neatly into your freezer for a year. Begin today to pursue the outcomes on list #1.  For details on this and much more, I'll see you in Jamaica on January 9!
