Incremental progress.

Life is not necessarily about trying to be perfect. It is however about incremental improvements over a sustained period of time. Some days you won’t get the exact desired outcome you worked towards, but if you got better, and learned something or made an incremental improvement, that is what is most important and valuable to your existence in the physical realm.

Write it down and get to work!

I made a decision as a teenager (18 years ago) to leave my previous environment. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, other than new surroundings. One thing I did more than 15 years ago was make a list. On a blank sheet of paper I wrote down 3 different states I wanted to live in. Of course I put them in chronological order with the top choice being what I wanted most. The next thing I did was write down the type of life I wanted to live in one of 3 places on that list.

From there I took a dream of mine I had already been working on, and utilized that as the basis of getting to move to that place I desired to be. Honestly I didn’t go back to looking at that piece of paper for a long time. I just kept waking up every single day working towards getting to that place. I prayed for it. I meditated on it.

I spoke about it out loud as if I knew it was 100% certain to happen. I also did everything in my power to make it happen. Long story short, I ended up moving to that place about 11 or 12 years after writing it down. This quick story is a reminder. A reminder to keep the faith. A reminder to write down whatever it is you want, and to not stop until you succeed at obtaining that goal, by working on it, and obsessing over it until it comes to fruition.

It may happen for you in a few weeks, months or maybe even decades, but you can’t lose faith, even when those around you don’t and won’t believe. Believe in God, and believe in yourself, and just keep working towards your goal.

You can’t go back, so fix it TODAY.

We truly are the sum total of our daily habits. Look at your life. Whatever it is, wherever you are, a lot of it, has to do with all of the things you said yes and no to. If you like it, great! Keep going. However, if you have the slightest be of contempt, or disdain for your own existence, you better get your shit together immediately. Don’t waste anymore time on things that are not pushing you towards a life you can be proud of living.

Open the door.

It’s amazing how you can learn much more bringing an open mind to any subject matter. Most of us are biased towards what we think and observe or how we were raised. However in order to understand more than one way of being, creating, and existing, one must be open to others ideas, and possibilities in terms of what may have been, what is, why it was or is, and how it could possibly be.

Intentional Existence.

There’s not much to purely existing. Most of us can get through that. What about living an intentional existence? This takes planning, preparation, and execution. One does not just become intentional.

You have to realize what you have, what could be better, and than actively pursue people, ideas, and places that elevate your current existence. You have to constantly be working towards doing things on purpose. All of this while sometimes failing, still can not stop you from living a full and intentional life. Don’t get caught up and the failures, or past. Just learn from it and keep doing things with purpose and purpose, that yield results you desire most.

The best is yet to come…

For you, your family, friends and associates. The best is yet to come for financial markets, fiscal policy, and so much more. Why so optimistic? Because if you’re still kicking the best is yet to come. It’s that simple. As long as we are breathing we have another opportunity to improve upon our existence.

There is more to explore about self and about life. Get out of the dumps you put yourself in and be responsible. Stop blaming others. You made a lot of your own decisions up to this point and it lead you where it lead you. Deal with it, and focus on what you can do to better the rest of the journey.

Even the failures are beautiful in this story so don’t think it’s time to stop writing now. Keep going.

I’m not the only one with goals and dreams.

At this very moment you have limitations that you have set upon yourself. What I want you to do is break them. 

NO MORE LIMITATIONS!!!!! 

The life you want to live can be all yours of you just continue to believe in your own abilities. Adopt the habit of vision and imagination, and actualization. 

Speak your dreams into existence. 

I’ve done it and continue to. Which means you can too! 

Thinking posotive is not enough…

Altough the act of thinking is almost as powerful as the act itself, it will not be enough. Action plus transaction, equals satisfaction. Not only do you have to think it into existence, but you have act it into existence. 

Everybody thinks about a better life. Everybody daydreams about being great. Anybody can pretend to be something they are not. The one thing that will separate you from the pack, is action. 

You can do it

Take a step in the right direction by learning to let go of what bothered you in the past. It’s gone now, and has no more relevance to your existence, as long as you don’t allow it to. 

I wonder why?

I often ask myself why we exist?

Some say it’s “to fulfill gods will”

Others think it’s evolutions cycle of inevitability.

And most of us have no idea.
