Hope Can Be Found Within the Human Soul

Have you ever noticed that every man, woman and child has the capability of love?

Love is the ultimate human emotion. This emotion is placed inside the human soul by our Creator.

Why are some people motivated and other people seem to struggle with life? Is it a lack of motivation? Do some people just have more drive or desire in life than other people?

I am not an expert about human emotions. I am not a trained health care provider. I AM a small business person that has noticed human behavior extensively since I began working for myself on the internet in 2005. My watching human behavior comes from having interacted with people from all over the world.

People that succeed are motivated. People that struggle give up for various reasons. How can a human being learn to motivate themselves? Watch this short video that I made about this issue.

So spending time developing our minds and training ourselves with healthy behaviors has a large impact on motivation. I know in the past I was depressed because I listened to network television news programs. Do you have any idea what the goal of these news programs are? Having as many viewers as possible. How do they get the most viewers? By broadcasting bad news and other breaking news about human problems, wars, suffering and disasters that are taking place every single day now.

In 2005, I began my self-development program. Here are some of the key adjustments I made to help myself overcome depression from putting negative media into my mind.

1. Continued Daily Exercise Program That I Started in 1999

2. Cut Out Listening to Negative Programs

3. Participation in Faith Based Church Twice a Week

4. Read Success Books and Motivational Books

5. Started Asking for Guidance on a Daily Basis

6. Started Daily Bible Study

My mood is much better. I do my best to be a positive witness in the world today. I am not perfect. I do not have a lottery ticket for anyone that is looking to build an internet business. What I do takes work. If  you want to come and work on our team and are not scared of doing a little consistent work every day, give me a call.

The Knots Prayer

Dear God:

Please untie the knots

That are in my mind,

My heart and my life.

Remove the have nots,

The can nots and the do nots

That I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,

May nots,

Might nots that may find

A home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots,

Would nots and

Should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all,

Dear God,

I ask that you remove from my mind,

My heart and my life all of the ‘am nots’

That I have allowed to hold me back,

Especially the thought

That I am not good enough.

Amen

Never Give Up

This is a fascinating video about how a Chinese farmer spent 5 years watering bamboo shoots. He did not see any reward for his efforts until one day the growth started. People thought he was crazy for spending time tending to an empty field that never showed any signs of growth. He could have used the land to grow some more food for his family. There is quite a message of resilience in this video. Enjoy!

How Are Your Resolutions Going?

Hello blog world! Just a quick note on the last day of January 2012. One month has passed since the New Year came. How are you doing on your resolutions? I sincerely hope you are making some progress. One thing I do my best to practice is never give up. The only time I will never give up is when I am taken to the VA for cremation. Please read an earlier post I wrote this month about setting goals instead of resolutions. You will better understand why goals bring better results than resolutions do.

Set Goals and Succeed

Goal Setting

My wish to you is that you achieve all of your dreams and goals in 2012. If we want something bad enough, we will take the actions necessary to reach what we desire. This is day one of the rest of your life. Do you have your goals written down? If not, take action now!

Training

I was on Jack Canfield’s call today and want to share some of his wisdom with you my valued reader.

1. Did you achieve your goals for 2011? If you failed, did you make progress on some of them?

Instead of feeling defeated on any goals that you did not complete, write on a sheet of paper three horizontal lines with about one inch separating each line. Put 2011 on the bottom line by the margin where the edge of the paper is. List things that you were able to either accomplish or get started on in 2011.

Now put 2012 on the middle line by the margin. Set down a few simple statements on that line. Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to help others in your chosen ministry? Do you want to increase your income from $40,000 a year to $50,000 a year? These are just ideas. Take some time on a weeknight or when you decide to focus on this training and get 2012 goals on paper.

The last line will be 2013. I am writing this message in December 2011 so planning for 2013 is only one year away. Do you have some goals in mind that you want to see accomplished by January 2013? Do you want to have more time for travel? Do you want to be able to help family with your time, talent, or money? Only you know where you want to be at the end of 2012 and in the future.

2. Set up a time each workday to check in with an accountability partner. This could be a business associate, your minister, a close friend or a family member. Spend 5 minutes talking with each other at 07:30 or another agreed upon time that is convenient for both of you. List 5 action steps that you will engage in to move you towards those 2 horizontal lines that are time line maps of your goals.

3. If you fail to engage in any activity or are feeling down about not achieving a goal, use tapping therapy. Do a search on Ask.com and you can learn about releasing negative emotions using this therapy.

4. Give yourself a pat on the back. By reading these messages and taking action on these ideas to grow your business, you are rising above the crowd. Sadly, many people opt for a door greeter job at Kmart and sit in front of a television at night instead of learning how to create a powerful business in a field that inspires them. Learning how to create as an entrepreneur is an awesome journey.

We hope you will enjoy his "Gratitude" presentation taped at a TED 2011 conference in San Francisco, CA.

Third President of America

Thomas Jefferson made statements 200 years ago that have much wisdom for us to use today if our society will study history.

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

Bad News

Turn on the radio or television and you will be overwhelmed by the horrible events going on in the world today. The media sensationalizes these news reports to draw the listeners in. The more listeners a radio or television station has, the higher ad revenue the advertisers are willing to pay to the media outlets. If you listen to news reports before bed about murders, robberies, and rapes, your sub-conscious mind processes those bad messages all through the night as you sleep.

Do you think as many people would tune in if you heard nothing but kind acts like the little girl in the Seattle area did before she died of a tragic car accident?

Rachel Beckwith wanted to raise $300 so people in developing nations could have clean water. After she died, the media did the right thing and brought the cause out to the public. To date, the charity has raised over $1 million. All funds go to the cause which is very noble of the parents. There is hope like this everyday.

The hope can be found in God's Word: The Holy Bible. If you are like me and want to put more positive messages into your conscious and sub-conscious mind each day, there are many resources for you. I will share three that I use as much as possible.

Just as the food we eat becomes a part of us, the mental food we take in everyday becomes a part of us.

Years of listening to negative media has hindered my health. I disconnected from the bad news a few years ago and then had a relapse in the past few months as I subscribed to the basic television service my local cable provider offers. I am going to have them turn the service off soon as I am moving from my residence.

God's word shares that one day the Great Controversy will be over. God wins and evil will be eliminated. Jesus will return to save all mankind as God loves all mankind. God does not want anyone to perish. It is up to each person to accept Salvation.

Living Off the Land

Here is a great video my good friend shared with me. I lived off the fruits and vegetables from my small farm for six years. I am moving south for business purposes and will have to pursue some community gardening in the future. Share this video with others. Americans need to be creative again. Creativity is what made this such a great nation to live in.
