There’s More To Life, folks, than just existing…

So many people wander aimlessly through life. They have no direction. They have no goals. They have no dreams.

Your average life does not have to be as good as it gets. There is more to life if you want it.

There are a few quotes I’ve heard over the years…

“If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, How Will You Know Once You’re There?”
“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.”
“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”

These are so true. If you don’t know where you are going, how are you ever going to get there? And if you don’t know where you’re going, well, anywhere you land, will be where you were going… Do you really want to leave it to chance? Do you really just want to accept whatever comes down the pike?

If going to work every day, sitting in a little cubicle or behind a desk, moaning and complaining about how awful it is and how miserable you are… If sitting around watching the “boob tube” or as we like to say “electronic income reducer”… If playing games all day, like Farmville, Mafia Wars, or World of Warcraft (WoW)… If those are all things that you do… I like to call those survival tactics and time wasters. That isn’t really living… that’s just existing and passing time.

There is more to life than just that. Life shouldn’t be deduced into simply existing and surviving… That’s boring and unproductive. I can’t believe that most people live like that. It’s like they are totally blinded to the potential within themselves to be something more, to have a life worth living and enjoying…

I challenge you to think about what you would like your life to be like if there were no limitations on time or finances or ability. Truly think about the things that you want out of life. What is your vision of a perfect life? What would your daily activities be? Think about this – in fact, give it a LOT of thought. Map it out in your mind. Make sure to include all of your senses – what it looks like, sounds like, feels like, smells like, even tastes like. The more of your senses you involve, the stronger the vision, the stronger the vision, the more you program yourself for what it is you truly want.

Now… it’s not just as easy as thinking about what you want out of life and creating your map in your mind. You have to take the necessary actions to bring about the goals you seek. You must take the actions necessary to move you in the right direction towards that vision.

Some people use whiteboards to write phrases on, or a bulletin board to put pictures on. I go one step further. I make “Mind Movies“. A mind movie is a video that includes both the phrases and pictures which can help stimulate more of the senses to give you a more vivid experience in helping you realize your dreams than the stand alone methods can.

Once you have decided what it is you want, and have it all mapped out in your head, and put it down on something, whether it’s writing it out, putting phrases on a whiteboard, putting pictures on a bulletin board, or making a Mind Movie, you have to take the appropriate action to get yourself there. You can’t just visualize it and then think that all you have to do is wait for it to come to you. Nothing is achieved from laziness. You have to take the ideas and inspirations you will receive and then roll with them.

Once you decide where it is that you want to go, the universe will mysteriously direct you on how to get there. Opportunities will pop up, you will get ideas and/or inspirations of things you can do. When that happens, you have to grab the bull by the horns and go for it. This is the universe directing you towards what you want. Don’t ignore it. This is your chance to create the life that you want.

Now… if watching TV, playing games, and merely existing or surviving is what you want out of life. Well, more power to you, I can’t stop you. As long as you enjoy your life, that’s what matters. Each one of us has a role to play in this universe. Not everyone wants the same thing.

For me, though, I believe that there’s more to life than just that, and I’m going to do everything in my power to make it happen!

Until next time…

One of the five things that Leaders do every day is visualize their Goals.

A lot of people may have problems with Goal setting. But folks, let me tell you… If you don’t know exactly what you want, you are cheating yourself. It can also be said that if you don’t know where you are going how will you know if you get there? Don’t let yourself float through life – have a plan – have goals – get that mental map of where you are going. Know what you want in life and go after it!

When asked what your goals are, do you say get out of debt? Really? That’s what you want? You want to get to zero??? Come on! Think bigger! What is it that you REALLY want? (Oh, and instead of saying get out of debt, try rephrasing it to taking care of your OBLIGATIONS – it’s amazing at what some simple vocabulary changes can do to the energy around your thoughts) But seriously, play a bigger game than that. Go for what you really want and you’ll take care of all of that in the wake.

A friend shared with me, that a leader in his life grilled him on what he wanted, what he really wanted. Finally, he got so ticked off that he was backed into a corner, that he got a moment of clarity, complete authenticity, full self-expression, and he said “You want to know what I want? I’ll tell you what I want! I want my kids to wake me up in the morning, not from the alarm clock, I want them to wake me up in the morning, and I want to have breakfast with them, I want to make their lunch, I want to sit at a table, I want to have a bowl of Cheerios with them, I want to have my wife, I want us all to be in our pajamas, I want us to be together as a family, I want to be the primary influence in their life. You want to challenge me on that? That’s what I want! Now back off!” He said he could hear his mentor smile on the other end of the line and his mentor said to him “Don’t ever forget that. We finally got to what you really want.”

It’s not about the money, it’s about what the money will get you. Money is just ink on paper. Think about what you will do with that money, how you will feel, what you are like, what you do with your day. Feel it. Visualize it. Take it all in. Make it so crystal clear in your mind that you could paint it on a canvas.

Is it a goal where you finally just turn around, your back is to the corner, and you just turn around and you’ve got that look in your eye, and you’re saying to yourself and the rest of the world, “This is what I want! Nobody’s going to stop me from getting it. It’s a goal worth dying for. Somebody just TRY and stop me!”?

The leaders in your life are here and looking to help you achieve that goal. Resources are here to help you accomplish what you want in life. What are you willing to fight for? Are you willing to do whatever it takes? Will you persist without exception? Do you want it bad enough?

Folks… don’t compromise on your goals. I want you to sit down, right now, and really think. What is it that you REALLY want. Not the mundane things (like material items – houses, cars, and doo-dads), but deep down, what is your ultimate goal in life? What do you want your life to be like? Who do you want to be? What do you want to do?

Think of your goal. Think of the person that you are having accomplished that goal. See it, feel it, hear it, touch it. Use all of your senses. Make that goal so crystal clear it’s like a movie in your mind. Make it so crystal clear that you could paint it on a canvas. Visualize that goal as you wake up in the morning, before you go to sleep at night, and as many times in between as you can. Strive with all your might to achieve that goal. Use the resources that you have around you. Talk to other people who have achieved similar goals and find out what they did every day to accomplish that goal. Fight for that goal. Go after it with everything in you. You deserve it! You are worth it!

Until next time…
