How Fear Limits Your Life Potential
Have you ever felt like fear was preventing you from reaching your full potential in life? If so, you are certainly not alone because fear is one of the biggest obstacles that many people face when trying to create better life circumstances.
Below are some of the most common ways that fear can hold you back:
Fear can prevent you from making positive changes.
Sometimes fear can make even the smallest changes seem extremely uncomfortable. For example, you may be deeply dissatisfied with your job, but feel nervous or uncertain about finding and applying for a better one. Or you may have always dreamed of buying your own home but worry that the responsibility would be too much to handle.
Fear can prevent you from breaking destructive habits.
We all know that smoking, poor dietary choices, excessive alcohol and a sedentary lifestyle are a recipe for health problems, but we often gravitate toward these habits because they help numb our anxious or fearful feelings. If you have ever tried to break a bad habit like this, you know how stressful it can be because suddenly you are filled with anxiety and you don’t know how to handle it except to run back to your "pacifiers" – the very habits you are trying to break.
Fear can prevent you from taking risks.
Many of us shy away from risk because we fear negative consequences. For example, you may hesitate to invest your money because you fear losing it, or avoid starting a new relationship because you were so hurt by the last one. What most of us fail to realize is that risk can also bring great rewards. Avoiding risk may help us avoid negative possibilities but we also miss the excitement and joy that come from positive outcomes.
Fear can prevent you from pursuing your goals.
Have you ever dreamed of doing something great but were never able to push yourself to do it? Perhaps you dreamed of being a stand-up comedian but dreaded the thought of public speaking, or you desperately wanted to be a bestselling author but were too afraid to pen that novel lurking inside of you.
Fear can prevent you from expanding your life.
Social anxiety is another common way that fear can limit your potential. It may prevent you from attending networking functions so your career or business can’t grow properly, or you may avoid taking that much needed vacation to relax and explore other cultures because you fear flying or being on a cruise ship.
How to Stop Fear from Limiting Your Potential
It’s important to note that all of these fears are most often groundless. They are merely a perception that things "could" go wrong – but that doesn’t mean they will.
Rather than trying to force your way through the fear, you may find it easier to explore the many ways that fear can be effectively released from your mind, emotions, and body. When you know how to release the fear, you simply handle it as you would any minor obstacle and then continue on your way to creating the best life you possibly can.

FREEDOM FROM FEAR
How to Protect Yourself from Universal Fears
Most of us have a set of unique fears that relate to our own lives, like concerns about loved ones, financial worries and so on; but there are also many "universal" fears – or perhaps you might call them "collective" fears – that are communicated to us through our environment.
These fears often relate to situations and events that leave us feeling vulnerable and defenseless, such as worldwide 'pandemics' (...and 'vaccines'), 'terrorist' attacks, economic and financial crises, and so on.
Not only do we see and hear constant references to these frightening scenarios in the media and from the people around us...
...the energy of collective fears also seeps into the very fabric of our reality (the quantum field) and continues to resonate around and within us.
Since we are all connected to the collective consciousness, we can actually absorb this "fear energy" as we go about our daily lives - even if we don’t pay attention to the media hype and mass hysteria.
In other words, if society's desire was to manipulate and control people by keeping them suppressed in a low vibratory state of fear ...this can affect everyone...
Have you ever felt nervous, edgy, tense, or vulnerable for no apparent reason? Even when everything in your own life was going fine, you may still have been affected by these collective fears and felt uncomfortable as a result...
...And to make it worse, the moment you begin focusing on these fearful feelings, the more you begin to magnify the collective fear energy without even knowing it...
Reducing the Impact of Universal Fears
It’s not easy to avoid absorbing these fearful messages, especially when you seem to be surrounded by endless examples of them every day. However, there are a few things you can do to minimize the impact they have on your life.
An obvious first step is to limit your exposure to news broadcasts; especially when they always seem to pertain to frightening events that are beyond your control...
Focusing on this force-fed fear programming only makes you feel more vulnerable and adds to the energy of the collective fear. Certainly you can stay informed about world events but it is advisable to seek independent, unbiased news sources on the internet, and then immediately start shifting your focus to something less fearsome.
Empower yourself by remembering that most of the things you fear will never come to pass. In fact, when you remember that giving your attention to anything only makes it seem bigger and more intimidating, you can surely see the wisdom in being more discerning about the things you think about.
Deliberately focusing more on positive things will help override the negative input you receive each day too. When you take greater control of your focus and place it decisively upon the creation of a joyful and positive reality, you contribute that same energy to the quantum field. This helps minimize some of the fearful energy being contributed by others around the world.
It’s true that there are many horrible, scary things to worry about – but there are equally as many wonderful, joyful things to ponder. Spend time each day thinking about the people you love, happy memories, and the great experiences that may be waiting just around the corner for you. It may not make the scary possibilities go away completely but it will lighten your mood, leave you feeling happier and less fearful.

HOW TO TURN YOUR BRAIN INTO AN ON- DEMAND DREAM REALIZING MACHINE

5 Ways to Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness
Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know.
But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want.
We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. All we can say is that they sound awesome, since apparently you can make your brain...#5. Think You Got a Good Night's Sleep (After Only Two Hours of Actual Sleep)
So you just picked up the night shift at your local McDonald's, you have class every morning at 8am and you have no idea how you're going to make it through the day without looking like a guy straight out of Dawn of the Dead, minus the blood... hopefully.
What if we told you there was a way to sleep for little more than two hours a day, and still feel more refreshed than taking a 12-hour siesta on a bed made entirely out of baby kitten fur? No more sneaking naps at the fry station for you!
How Do I Do It?
It's called the Uberman Sleep Schedule, and besides having a totally badass name, it's a way to get the maximum amount of essential sleep for your body without wasting hours of precious time you could be using to work or drink or farm for World of War craft gold. The schedule consists of taking six, 20-30 minute power naps, every four hours during the day. Of course, this new sleep pattern blows donkey-dick to get used to, but it's a price you have to pay to basically extend your waking life by several years.(We're pretty sure Kramer did this once on Seinfeld. So it's probably a great idea.)
The best way to start it off is to just jump right in. Get to sleep at 8pm, set your alarm for 8:30. Get up, play some Call of Duty, sleep again at 12, alarm at 12:30, and so on. After three or four days of this you will start to get high as fuck because of sleep deprivation, and might just want to kill yourself, but don't do it! That would be absolutely counter-productive.
By day 10 or so, your brain will say, "Fuck! FINE, we'll do it your way," and will adapt to your new superhuman sleep schedule.
How Does It Work?
When you sleep normally, your body gets only about an hour and a half of REM sleep, the kind of sleep that is thought to be the most important to keeping your brain sharp. While other stages of sleep help your body to heal and grow, the REM sleep is what makes you feel rested.
The first few days of adjusting are tough because your body isn't getting ANY of this REM sleep, and your brain hates you for it. After the third day, or so, your brain figures out that you mean business, and every time you lay down for one of these naps, dives directly into REM sleep in an attempt to compensate for the deprivation. Do some quick math and that's two full hours of REM sleep, while those who are sleeping normally are only getting an hour and a half.
Before you know it, while the rest of the world snores away, you'll be up and drawing dicks on their faces
#4. Hallucinate Like You Just Took LSD, Legally
Yes, that's right kids! Tell your dealer goodbye and worry no more about winding up naked on the roof of an office building after a bad trip. Now you can be stoned out of your mind by building a homemade deprivation chamber out of some regular, completely harmless household objects.
How Can I Do It!
You are going to need three things: a ping-pong ball, a radio with headphones and a red light.
Step 1: Turn the radio to a station with just white noise (static), and put on your headphones.
Step 2: Cut the ping-pong ball in half and tape each half over your eyes.
Step 3: Turn the red light so it's facing your eyes.
Step 4: Sit there for at least a half an hour.
Step 5: Follow Ben Franklin and your new friend, Harold the unicorn, into the gumdrop forest, and live happily ever after.
How Does It Work?
It's called the Ganzfeld effect, and it works by blocking out most of the signals that go to your brain. It's the same kind of effect you get when looking into a soft light for a while and lose vision, except at a larger scale.
The sound of the white noise and the light from the outside of the ping pong ball are eventually ignored by your brain. With all those signals out of the picture, your brain has to create its own, and this is where the hallucinations come in. We can't guarantee they won't involve, say, the ghost of Lizzie Borden trying to hack off your scrotum with an ax, but that's the risk you take, dammit.
Now, if you want a little more control over your hallucinations...#3. Dream Whatever You Want to Dream
What if we told you there was a way to make all your fantasies come true? You could have that sports car you've always wanted and the daily threesome with Sarah Palin and Cannonball Run-era Burt Reynolds. Hell, we'll even throw in a few superpowers for your enjoyment.
Welcome to the wonderful world of lucid dreaming.
How Can I Do It?
Most of you reading this have had a lucid dream before. Every once in a while you wind up in a dream but somehow recognize it as a dream, and you may have found yourself able to pretty much program the dream to your specifications. While there are plenty of tips and tricks to make this happen on purpose, we've narrowed it down to what seems like the most useful, so that you can be riding dinosaurs with Gary Coleman in your sleep in no time:
1. Keep a Dream Journal. As soon as you wake up from a dream, write down every little thing you can remember about it. Supposedly by writing it down, your brain recognizes certain patterns that only occur in a dream (since most dreams are immediately forgotten) and if they are on paper, you can recall them easily.
2. Think about exactly what you want to dream right before you fall asleep. Makes sense. For instance you've probably fallen asleep watching Myth Busters before and immediately dreamed you were flying through the air, using a giant version of Jamie's mustache as a hang glider.
3. The best time to have a lucid dream is either right before you regularly wake up, or right after. Studies have shown that more people have lucid dreams when they take a nap shortly after they first wake up in the morning.
So you can do all that, or if you are the lazy type, get yourself something like the Nova Dreamer, a device that detects when you've entered REM sleep and then makes a noise that's supposed to be not quite enough to wake you up, but enough to raise your awareness to, "Hey, this is totally a dream I'm having!" levels.
How Does It Work?
Obviously the big difference between a dream and real life is that if the Ham burglar came bursting out of your refrigerator right now and started screaming at you in Vietnamese, your first thought would be "This is a strange and unusual event that is occurring right now, and I should question my perceptions." If the same thing happens in a dream, you just go with it.
In a dream state, your mind mostly loses the ability to criticize anything that's happening because dreaming just doesn't involve the critical part of your brain. You're all worried that you're at work in your underwear, and don't even blink at the fact that your boss is a dragon who speaks in the voice of your old middle school gym coach.
But if you change your mental state ever so slightly, that critical part of your brain can keep functioning even while in dreamland. If you can perfect the technique of dreaming while not all the way asleep, the next thing you know you're ordering up a Smurf orgy
#2. Learn More While You Sleep
So say you haven't followed that first step up there and choose to continue sleeping like other mere mortals. A very minor change in your schedule can still let you use your sleep patterns to your advantage, by making you smarter.
How Can I Do It?
No, we're not talking about those scams where they have you put a tape recorder under your pillow and let it teach you Spanish while you're asleep. What scientists have found out is if you need to remember a bunch of information (say, for a big exam), do NOT study right up until time for the exam. Study at least 24 hours before, and sleep on it.
They did a study at Harvard that proved this technique works. Participants were separated into three different groups after being shown images that they were told to memorize. One of the groups was tested on the memorization after 20 minutes, the other after 12 hours and the last after 24 hours. You would expect that the ones who were tested just 20 minutes later would do best, but that would, of course, make a really shitty story.
No, the participants who slept on it and had 24 hours for the information to fester in their brain did the best on the test, while those who only had 20 minutes did the worst.
How Does It Work?
Scientists say the ability your brain has to retain information works in three different ways: acquisition, consolidation and recall. While the first and last occur while you're awake, it's the middle-man that is important during sleep.
When you sleep, your brain is constantly processing information that you couldn't have processed with everything going on up there during the day. This works to strengthen your neurological bonds in the brain. Think of it like downloading something on a computer. When you go to download something while your porn is up, it takes longer, right? Close up any applications that are running and you have a smoother, quicker download. Yeah, kind of like that... maybe.
So does this technique work with the "sleep two hours a day" system we mentioned earlier? We're not sure anyone has tried it, but by our calculations such a person would immediately gain mental superpowers, possibly including telekinesis. Somebody in the comments try it and let us know.
#1. Believe Something Happened (That Totally Didn't)
Stop for a moment and recall your fondest childhood memory. Or your worst. In either case, there's a really good chance that it's total bullshit.
Memory is a funny thing. Research has consistently found that our memories from when we were kids are either extremely inaccurate, or didn't happen at all. They are just elaborate constructions of a memory storage system that isn't very good at distinguishing real memories from fake ones.
So what if we told you that there was a way to do this on purpose? To hack your brain into believing (and "seeing" vividly) a completely made-up event that never actually happened?
How Do I Do It?
The trick is you need somebody else to do it for you (or to you). But it takes very little effort, and no Total Recall-style brain-hacking machines.
For instance, in a study in 1995 researchers sat down a group of people and mentioned four incidents from their childhood (gathered from family members) and asked subjects how well they remembered them. What they didn't mention was that one of the stories (a tale of them being lost in a specific shopping mall) was utter bullshit.
It didn't matter. Twenty percent came back with sudden memories of the event that, in reality, never happened. The sheer act of asking them if it did, caused them to manufacture the memory, filling in details on the fly.
Researchers knew they could up that 20 percent figure. In another test, an unsuspecting group of people who had visited Disneyland in the past were placed in a room with a cardboard cutout of Bugs Bunny and/or were shown fake ads for Disneyland featuring Bugs. Afterwards, 40 percent claimed they vividly remembered seeing a guy in a Bugs Bunny costume when they were at Disneyland. They didn't, of course (Bugs isn't a Disney character).
Another study took it a step further, and actually Photo shopped a picture of each subject riding in a hot air balloon. When asked if they recalled this non-event, 50 percent said they did. Other experiments successfully convinced people they had at one time nearly drowned, been hospitalized or been attacked by a wild animal.
How Does It Work?
Your brain kind of plays it fast and loose when it stores memories, and for good reason: Usually the details don't matter. You remember your best friend's phone number but don't remember exactly where and when he told you. You remember that you hate zucchini, but don't remember what day of the week you tried it. Your brain breaks up memories into a stew of general lessons learned and important stuff you'll need later.
The problem is that same process makes it very difficult to distinguish real memories from fake ones since the source of a memory is so often discarded in the stew. A fact you think you read in a newspaper might in reality have been read in a fictional novel, or heard from a friend, or dreamed, or implanted by somebody who's fucking with you.
So not only could somebody do this for you (though it would have to be set up so that you don't know where and when) but it seems like you could run a pretty successful business just implanting happy childhoods for people.
You know, like that time you found out you were adopted, and that your real parents were the Thunder cats.

So not only could somebody do this for you (though it would have to be set up so that you don't know where and when) but it seems like you could run a pretty successful business just implanting happy childhoods for people.
You know, like that time you found out you were adopted, and that your real parents were the Thunder cats.

WHY GRATITUDE IS THE KEY TO GETTING ANYTHING YOU WANT
Hello winners this time you must get serious about what you must have.
When it comes to worldly affairs, the saying, "Seeing is believing" reigns supreme. When you “see” someone accomplish something, you start to “believe” in that person's ability. If a product delivers what it promises, you then believe that it works. When you see a "formula" yield positive results, you begin to believe in it.Evidence is essential in order for people to believe. This has led to the saying, "I'll believe it when I see it." The proof is in the pudding.But in spiritual affairs, the opposite is true. "Believing is seeing." If you believe first, you will see that thing that you believe in manifest itself in front of your very eyes. That's a testament to the awesome power of belief. This has led to another saying: "I'll see it when I believe it."However, for most people, believing is the problem.That's why most people who lack conviction when they recite affirmations, for instance, are missing the secret ingredient that's necessary to materialize their dreams.
If you've ever encountered some internal resistance when you first read or speak a positive affirmation, that's an indication that you do not really believe what you're saying. For example, how can you really believe the affirmation, "I am perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit" when outer appearances point to the contrary (e.g., you're sick or in pain)?An important part of believing is to feel "as if it has already happened." I have found that one of the best ways to evoke that feeling is to express gratitude after you recite an affirmation.
SIMPLY SAY "THANK YOU" TO THE UNIVERSE
Just saying the words, "Thank you" after you state your affirmation reinforces the belief that the universe (or God, or your Creator, or whatever name you call the Supreme Being) has already set about the fulfillment of your desire.
You may not see your affirmed desire fully manifested yet at the present time, but expressing thanks makes you believe that what you've asked for is already done. Thereafter, you have a sense of expectancy that what you desire will eventually come to fruition.If there was ever a "formula" for manifesting desires, this is it. Ancient spiritual manuscripts, including the Bible, emphasize that a single-minded belief is essential in receiving what you ask for. They also warn against double-mindedness.
Know with absolute and unwavering certainty that what you are affirming is already yours. "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." So believe that it's already done by simply saying "Thank you" or assuming an attitude of gratitude after affirming what you want.
I once heard a wonderful quotation from an anonymous author that says it profoundly: "We can start with who we are and what we have today, apply gratitude, then let it work it's magic.Say thank you, until you mean it. If you say it long enough, you will believe it. Today will shine the transforming light of gratitude on all the circumstances of my life."

REACH FOR GREATNESS
Hello winners, am so delighted to have this opportunity to share with you my mind and provide to you the gift of awareness and discovery about how one can reach for greatness.
HOW TO WIN THE GREATEST GAME EVER.
My Story.
It’s so much fun and joy to travel around the world especially for me a boy rose by a Mother without a Dad close. I didn’t have any skills when I first awaken to the opportunity you know you can work for pay. I only knew how to volunteer and that was about it and it didn’t pay very well. But when I was introduced to network marketing, a marketing system that I could start from the Bottom and get to the Top and start Part Time, it literally, revolutionized and changed my life forever. I have never been the same again. The big part of my story now is sharing this EXTRA-ORDINARY opportunity with people all over and around the world, then along with it the philosophy that makes it work.
You know you can have all the best products in the world, great skills, techniques, and the finest support system in the world but unless you have the philosophy the drives you to do the necessary things that make it work then nothing works.
The Passion Test
What's YOUR Passion Test Score?
You know living a Healthy Wealthy and Wise is all about living your dreams and passions with balance – it’s about becoming the person you Know deep down in your soul you are meant to be. I am focused on that because I know it’s the secret for living a fulfilled life, and I want every one in this room with a RHINO SPIRIT who is ready to take that journey to have that kind of life.
I took a seminar in SUCCESS UNIVERSITY on my website online called “it is not over until I win.” The course was taught by LESS BROWN, who now is one of my very best mentor and friend. In the seminar, LES BROWN was talking about a survey that had been done on the most successful people in the United States. They did this survey on about 100 people, and at the end, it turned out these people all had one thing in common. These mega-successful people had all fulfilled the five most important aspects of their life which they felt were necessary to have Success as they defined it. That really stuck with me, that knowing the five most important aspects was the one thing these incredibly successful people in all different fields had in common. I thought, ‘For me to be able to start living what I feel is my most passionate life, all I would have to do is define what my five most important passions are. That’s how The Passion Test started. I figured out a way to uncover what the five most important passions were in my life and look at them in a very balanced way. I asked, “What’s important to me emotionally or relationship wise? What’s important to me about my environment? What’s important to me for my career? What’s important to me financially? What’s important to me on a humanitarian basis?” I started writing down all of these different things. Then through this very easy process of delineation, which people will read about in Their own Passion Test, I came to figure out what my five were and what anybody’s five could be. What makes it such an effective tool? How is The Passion Test different from regular goal setting?
Most people aren’t clear.
You walk into a class on setting goals, and most people don’t sit and think, ‘What’s my passion? What is important to me?’ Instead, they think about what they want to achieve. Now, knowing what you want to achieve is important, but the step before goal setting is discovering what it is that turns you on and gets you excited. The reason The Passion Test is so effective is that it provides a simple, easy way to clarify what is truly important to you.
I say it as a mantra in my dreams, “To the extent that you have to show up in your life, it will, and only to the extent that you’re clear. The Passion Test allows people to immediately clarify and continue to clarify, over and over again, what’s important to them
There are people who are successful in our society who may be successful in some areas, as I said before, but very unhappy in other areas because they haven’t gotten clear on all of the things that are truly important to them. They may be clear on a few things, but not all of the things that really matter to them. Then they achieve financial, but they’ve got cancer or have a heart attack and what good does their money do them. Or their family life falls apart and they end up divorced and alone. Of course, it works the other way as well. I have dear friends who I would say are hugely successful spiritually, but they’re completely broke, uncomfortable and struggling. Again, they’ve gotten clear on some of their passions, but not all of them. When you have looked at all the parts of your life that are truly important to you and begin to live those, then your life begins to take on a greater meaning. And it’s so much richer. Yes, right. It’s like all of a sudden, with The Passion Test, you’re really starting to know you. It’s like dragging one leg of the chair and the rest of the chair comes with it. That’s what happens when you start focusing on the fullness of your passions and what you’re here to do in your life.
One of the things is to be fearless and know that you just have to step out there and go for it. Be honest. A lot of people are afraid to be honest about what they love, because they’re so afraid they won’t be able to have that, and then they’re afraid they’re going to be disappointed, so they stay in the comfort zone where nothing seems to move and everything seems to stagnate. In a passionate life, it’s a life on fire, a life where, at any moment, you don’t know what’s going to be happening. I’ll tell you, that when you’re really breathing. You’re that person everyone wants to be around and you’re turned on and you’ve got that energy and there is something brewing inside you. Do you know what I like to tell people, along with being honest and fearless? It’s easy when you realize the thing that is your deepest heart’s desire is also God’s unique gift to you. Who do you think is speaking in your heart, other than the Creator, or for those who like to think of God as nature, it’s Nature speaking to you. Be fearless and honest about who you are.
What happens is that Nature truly organizes in a way when people decide to step out and step into what is truly their passion. The other thing is to not censor yourself, because you can’t see how it’s going to be. The only job we have is to truly understand what we’re passionate about. What moves me, What turns me on? What do I wake up in the morning for, now that the actual mechanics of how that’s going to show up, you have no control over. The only control we have is to put it out there and say, “This is what I’m about. This is what I do.” Watch the synchronicities start to align themselves. All the people, places or things you need in order to align yourself with your passion start showing up When you start putting your attention where your passions are, the mind is like a computer, so whatever you input has to output sooner or later. How? That’s what we get to watch. We get to step out of the movie, and at the same time, be a part of it. That’s where the real fun stuff comes, because then you’re truly living in that place we call “the moment,” being here now, and being here with what we believe in. I think that’s so important. In living your passion, it’s not about knowing what the whole picture is going to look like when it plays out. It’s clarifying what you see NOW and taking that next step amazing.
There are a lot of people who think they are completely in balance but are actually completely out of it. That’s right. The simplest of all principles is the law of sowing and reaping - The Law of Cause and Effect. The reverse of the law is that you can tell what you have sown by what you are reaping today. If you are not happy with your harvest today…the quality of your life, relationships, health, bank account, and so on it means that you have not sown well in the past. Therefore, it is time for you to start sowing something different.
If you’re not happy with your crop, you don’t curse the sky and the sun. You plant a different crop. People need to realize, it takes a long time to be successful. It takes a long time to raise a happy child. It takes a long time to build a great relationship. It takes a long time to build a great career. And you have to work at it. There are no shortcuts. But there
is a direct relationship between how hard you work and how committed you are to what you want to accomplish and what you achieve. You can always tell how much you’ve paid. Your current rewards are the result of the price you’ve paid in the past. So look around and ask “Am I happy with this level of rewards?” If not, then you can control the price you pay in the future - always work on yourself and work on your opportunities
If someone is unhappy where they are now, especially financially, they need to “learn more to earn more.” That’s right, you need to increase your ability to render value to your fellow man. And it’s a remarkable thought, that we are in this world; that we do not live on an island by ourselves where we raise and eat our own crops. We live in a society where we
serve other people, and our society is a service society. Therefore, your job is to incorporate yourself into the service of society and to work on yourself to increase the value of service.
Now one of the most important questions you could ever ask is “What can I do to increase the value of my service to my customers today?” And everybody has customers. Whether it’s your boss or people who buy your product, people who use your services, or whoever is dependent upon you, and whoever you are dependent upon. They are your customers. Ask yourself, if I want to increase my rewards, how do I increase my service to my customers? And keep focusing on that. We call it an obsession with customer service, but basically it is an obsession with serving other people. The more you concentrate on serving other people, the better and more confident you become. As a result, the more respected and more valued you are, the more you are paid, the more you are promoted, the better you feel, it is just a wonderful upward spiral.
And that would key into all areas of life then? Of course, it has to do
with your family and everything else. But, most people’s concerns tend to be with their material well being. So, if you want to improve your material well being, then you have to find ways to serve people better.
QUESTION
Is it true that once people feel they have that material well being under control the importance they place on things begins to shift?.
Absolutely, you go up a hierarchy of values as Maslov said, once you take care of security, survival, belongingness, and self esteem, you move to self actualization—into developing
into the higher realms of your nature. But you have to satisfy the economic needs first. Which requires that you perform some sort of service that helps or benefits other people.
One thing that I am convinced of is that we live in a wonderful world – absolutely full
of opportunities if you will reach out and grasp them. And you have to be willing to
reach out for them. Grab them like a football on a football field, and realize that every thing that happens is a lesson. And there is no such thing as failure only feedback. If you learn from every experience, you get smarter, and smarter, and smarter but you remain optimistic. Look upon life as a constant classroom. Then you constantly remain optimistic. Never get negative or unhappy
Poem or two
This first one is by an unknown author, but it sums up one of my core philosophies:
Don't Quit.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill.
When funds are low and the debts are high.
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT.
The second is one that I wrote called Change Your World.
Change Your World
You cannot change the world,
but you can present the world with
one improved person, yourself.
You can go to work on yourself
to make yourself into the kind of person
you admire and respect.
You can become a role model
and set a standard for others.
You can control and discipline yourself
to resist acting or speaking in a negative way
toward anyone for any reason.
You can insist upon always doing things the loving way
rather than the hurtful way.
By doing these things each day, you can
continue on your journey toward becoming
an exceptional human being.
CONCLUSSION
I want you all to know that uniqueness of being you, and draw out that uniqueness of who you are. That’s your individual greatness and no one can compete with that. That’s your uniqueness and there is no competition. There’s no one who can compete with you when you’re being you.
