Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
you will do something for the first time.
Too often people are only asked “when was the last time you did something for the first time?”
Equally important is to ask how you can make the next time feel like the first time?
However, it’s so seldom that we ask when is the next time you will do something for the first time? Let alone actually plan it.
Stay Positive & Don’t You Have Some Planning To Do

Whether you’re the one asking or being asked, the answer has little to do with the mind.
You can analyze, strategize, and organize a project so that the results you want are surely the results you will get. But you never actually know.
Boy asks girl what her favorite color is. Girl says purple. Five years (or five months, or five minutes later – it doesn’t really matter) go by. Girl asks the boy what her favorite color is. Boy says purple. Girl frowns. “It’s blue,” she says.
Everything is networking and networking involves connecting with people and people change their minds more often than their clothes. What needs to be understood, though, is that despite these changes (e.g., fear based step-backs, road block detours, juxtaposed worldviews, popped filter bubbles.) the results aimed for can still be attained.
When you are at the phase of “how do YOU know,” you are immediately the authority, the leader, the one looked up to.
Truly, what they want to know is if they can trust you. If they can benefit from following you. And if you answer with “I just do,” you’re answering with your heart, not your mind.
And THAT is how you know.
Stay Positive & If You Don’t Feel It In Your Gut, Aim For Different Results

I’ve eaten a lot of organic apples but it wasn’t until I pulled the label off and stuck it to a notepad at work (for no reason) where I kept looking at it that I realized something. This apple came from New Zealand! That is on an island over 8,000 miles away from where I purchased it. It got me thinking…
We are all really ignorant of how far items and ideas travel before they reach us. Sure we’re curious where the hundred-dollar bill we have has been, but it stays a funny thought and is never looked into. While that specifically may be irrelevant, the concept is not.
Every goal has an origin. This apple states that it began in New Zealand and its goal was clearly to be bought in Madison, WI. The question I was asking myself was how did it get from New Zealand to here, but the growers of the apple were thinking ‘how do we get these apples to Madison, WI from here?’ not ‘where do these apples go from here?’
Notice the difference is that a destination was chosen for the apples to arrive and the method of transportation to get them there was worked out beginning in Madison, WI, not New Zealand. They marked their origin (New Zealand), set their goal (Madison, WI) and worked out everything backwards.
If they had worked it all out going forwards they may think that putting them on the first shipment to America will get them to Madison the quickest when really, first looking at where which flights are going into Madison the soonest and having them sent there.
One thought is that the quicker they get shipped, the quicker they reach their destination when in reality when the transportation strategies begin getting worked out from the destination, the product reaches it much quicker.
Spreading ideas or products isn’t about sending them into a thousand different directions hoping they eventually land at your goal. It is about knowing your goal, what people are in closest and most constant contact with your goal and which mode of transportation best reaches them directly.
The real question arises then, is it more efficient to figure out where a product needs to go to reach its destination or how quickly will it land at its destination if it is just sent off on any number of planes.
Stay Positive & Strategize

Yes it’s a mouthful but it is the best description that I can give to the following 28 lessons. Enjoy.
1. Better results does not make a better plan. A better plan makes better results.
2. Happiness is meant to be designed. You create it, you sculpt it, you make it.
3. Discipline: without it there is no bridge from your goal to your accomplishments.
4. Success is sending yourself an invitation to grow, develop, move up, build more, create more, invest more, innovate more and raise above mediocrity.
5. Life works like a magnet, the more you put forth to your goals, the closer you get to the results you want, the harder you work at your dreams, the more force in which they pull you toward them, it gets easier. It always gets easier.
6. Learning is the beginning. Everything else will fall into place itself.
7. Things only change when you do.
8. There really are no destinations, only points in which you change direction again.
9. Be influenced by the successful. Peer pressure is necessary as long as it pushes us further toward our real potential.
10. Be influential. Peer pressure is necessary as long as it pushes someone further toward their real potential.
11. Remove “easy”, “simple”, and “effortless from your vocabulary. Also never make something a piece of cake, have it all or take nothing.
12. Try. Only when you don’t try, do you fail.
13. Answer this question, very clearly. What is the purpose of life?
14. Lead a tribe of as much inspired if not more willing people than yourself. Create an unbeatable alliance with others.
15. Create a new faith, a new religion, a new belief and call it “The YourName Faith/Religion”. This is the only way to destroy any limitations.
16. A good person runs a mile. A great person runs an extra mile. Only a legend keeps running long after the first, second, third, ninth mile. Always do more, always.
17. Make every part of your character visible.
18. Be Human.
19. Self-initiative, Self-resilience, Self-motivation, Self-assurance, Self-inspiration, Self-control, Self-discipline, Self-growth, everything begins with yourself. Want to be successful? Work on you harder than you work on your job.
20. Pursue an interest that makes you feel alive. Nothing radiates more positively to others than a personal keen interest in something, something you pour your passion into, something that if upon waking up at 2 am and asked what your muse is, you answer with it.
22. Combine accurate and imaginative thinking to create your art.
23. You won’t last without good health.
24. Not to mention exercise is the absolute greatest habit you can create to stimulate the positive senses.
25. Living in the moment is derived from the collection of experience you have had controlling, focusing and centering your attention on the positive, on the material that will help you produce results you care about and on the search for what you can learn from every moment.
26. Everything remarkable was the result of overcoming adversity. If you come face-to-face with adversity or even sometimes get defeated, you are on the right path. Nothing worthy comes easy.
27. Visualization doesn’t need to be done all at once. Visualization is something that is meant to be anointed to all the various positive thoughts that float through your mind every day.
28. Care
Stay Positive & Live The Successful Life

My life is the outcome of all the cigarettes never smoked, all the opportunities never passed by, all the people who never said “Hi” back and all the goals I never threw away.
I had to excogitate my life to get to where I am and to get where I want to go.
I had to mitigate the impact of failure, criticism and my own ignorance.
Now it’s time to publicize my life through words to the point that the power is heard.
The attainment of your wishes can only be made by lionizing each moment. – Alate your membrane – Elevate your views above the clouds, above the stars and above your dreams.
Your life is the outcome of your mistakes made seen, of all your successes declared — Of the infinite possibilities being prehensible, grappled with and shared.
Ignore those who are impaired, who use their criminal knavery to bring you down — Of those whose jaundiced ambiance captures all that they surround.
You. You decide, direct, choose, make, give, determine, create, craft, and ordain every moment of your life. Every memorable second is related mutually to your strife.
If you capitalize the power of experience, personal illustrations and positive influence you manifest a life of compound interest.
If you philosophize the art of planning, the process of preparation and dexterity of failure you make future success prominent.
If you activate the progress meters, the social interaction receptors, the over achieving levers you will discover a metamorphosis of the stairs turning into an elevator.
Only you can work these words, these literary pieces of life, to discover what success truly means. However,what I can tell you is the definition of failure – doing less than you can.
Stay Positive & Maybe Success Is Doing More Than You Can
