Are You Learning?

“Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer.” 
~Norton Juster

What are you learning? Do you realize how what you learn affects other people? Even in the tiniest way? Everything we do makes a difference, some for good and some for not so good.

Do you know what The Butterfly Effect is?  It states that a butterfly can flap it's wings in Africa and the end result could be a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean. The Butterfly Effect used to be thought of as a urban legend, until the scientific community came to the conclusion that it was authentic, accurate and viable. In fact, it has been accorded the status of "law" and is known as "The Law of Sensitive Dependence Upon Initial Conditions." 

 "The Law of Sensitive Dependence Upon Initial Conditions."   Think about that for a while.  What are the "Initial Conditions" that you require to become a beginner?  See, learning only takes place when you become a beginner.  Most people don't like to become a beginner and say things like "I already know that," or "We've tried that before" and therefore are UNABLE to learn.

When you learn something new, the whole world becomes richer. But what are you learning? Most people are "too busy" to spend any time learning anything. Do you know that if you worked ON your business 30 minutes a day, after a year, you will DOUBLE your business? Stop working IN your business and spend some time ON it.  If you don't know where to start, email me or call me.  A.S.K.  Always Seek Knowledge!

Are You A Creature Of The Commonplace?

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” ~Sir Cecil Beaton

Are you daring? Different? Impractical? What sets you apart from everybody else? Really? Do you have an imaginative vision of what is ahead for you or are you just trucking on down the road, without a thought of what's ahead?

A slave to the ordinary...is that you? Are you a creature of the commonplace? It's real easy to get into a rut of the ordinary. You know what the definition of a rut is? It is a coffin with the ends kicked out, that's what a rut is. Think about that as you go about your day, the same way, day after day after day.

Wilfred Peterson said "Big Thinking precedes great achievement."  You will never make a difference being ordinary or thinking ordinary. You won't be known for being a creature of the commonplace if you think BIG!

How can you step out of the ordinary, out of the commonplace? It's different for each individual and you need to seek it out for yourself. I challenge you as this new year is getting started to step out of the ordinary, to be different, to be daring. I challenge you to stop being a "play-it-safer" kind of person.  Become a BIG thinker.

Hidden In Your Daily Routine Is Your Future

"The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine."~Mike Murdoch

How does your routine change? Or does it always go a certain way and you are just hoping for different results? Einstein called that insanity.

If our future is hidden in our daily routine, how would you change yours? What would you stop doing and what would you do instead? Why? Oh, you realize that what you're doing isn't working, but just haven't changed it yet...hmmm. Why?

You know that you want to achieve more but you just can't put your finger on what to do...

Start with analyzing your daily routine. See what you are doing that no longer serves any purpose for you and replace it with something that does serve you. The more things you do that serve you, the better chance you will have of creating the future that you want.

Maybe it's something as simple as making coffee at home instead of paying $5 bucks for Starbucks, or maybe it something as difficult as getting up an hour earlier to work out or take a walk. Maybe it's something as difficult as not eating those donuts or maybe it's something as easy as spending an hour reading more about how to improve your networking...(maybe those should be turned around...).

Analyze your daily routine and make sure that everything you do is serving you. Not anyone else, but you.

You Were Created In Order To Make A Difference

"How far forward would we need to go in your life to show the difference you make? There are generations yet unborn whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take today. And tomorrow. And the next day. And the next."

"EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO MATTERS.

You have been created as one of a kind. On the planet Earth, there has never been one like you…and there never will be again. Your spirit, your thoughts and feelings, you ability to reason and act all exist in no one else. The rarities that make you special are no mere accident or quirk of fate.

YOU HAVE BEEN CREATED IN ORDER THAT YOU MIGHT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

Know that your actions cannot be hoarded, saved for later, or selectively used.

By your hand, millions – billions – of lives will be altered, caught up in a chain of events begun by you this day.

The very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose. 
Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold.

Your life…And what you do with it today…MATTERS FOREVER."

Everything You Do Matters

"When you know that everything matters, that every move counts as much as any other, you will begin to live a life of permanent purpose.”~Jones

Do you realize that EVERYTHING you do matters? Do you really understand that? Most people go through life with the attitude that what they do has no bearing on anyone else...but they are wrong.  We are all connected whether you know it or not.  And if you think that there are coincidences, well, sorry, there are NO coincidences.  The people you meet and the things that you do are not by chance!

When you realize and think about everything you do, then you are living a life of permanent purpose. What is your purpose? Do you know?

Mother Teresa said "We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose, for great things." So I ask you again, what is your purpose? Are you doing great things or are you playing at 50%. Why? Play full out. Play BIG! Don't leave anything in the tank!

If you are not living your purpose, then the world is denied what you were to bring the world. If you don't bring your purpose, no one else will. So, find your purpose and then Live Your Purpose!

Is This The Real Me?

"Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it."~William James

What attribute, mental or otherwise, makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive? Do you know? Have you found out what it is yet? It took me almost 50 years to figure what made me feel most deeply and vitally alive. What about you?

What do you do that says "this is the real me?" Have you found that yet or are you just floating down the river, without any real direction or purpose? I'm afraid that most people are floating down the river without any real direction. The world is begging you to find what your purpose is and you're stuck doing something "to pay the bills."

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you've made, both consciously and unconsciously. Here's the key though. You can choose a different choice, today. Right now, you can become what you were meant to become. It's never too late to become who you were meant to become!

Make the choice, NOW. It's NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHO YOU WERE MEANT TO BE!

Do you realize that EVERYTHING you do matters? Do you really understand that? Most people go through life with the attitude that what they do has no bearing on anyone else...but they are wrong. Everything you do matters to someone.  Do you know how you are impatcing other people?  Is it positive or is it negative.

When you realize and think about everything you do, then you are living a life of permanent purpose. What is your purpose? Do you know?  Sometimes we need to search for our purpose and sometimes it just comes to us, but either way, find your purpose.

Mother Teresa said "We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose." So I ask you again, what is your purpose?

If you are not living your purpose, then the world is denied what you were to bring the world. If you don't bring your purpose to the world, no one else will. So, find your purpose and then Live Your Purpose!

Your Great Purpose

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations and your consciousness expands in every direction. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. ~Patanjali

Are you inspired by some great purpose? Some extraordinary project? What is it? Or are you not really inspired at all and have no extraordinary projects to work on?? If you don't know or can't say what your great purpose is, that's ok. It's never to late to find your purpose, your extraordinary project. The key is to be searching within yourself to find it. It will not be outside of you. You already have it.

Here's what happens when you do find your great purpose...Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive! Have you ever experienced that? It's so cool when it does. The other thing that happens is that you discover yourself to be a far greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be! When you find that purpose, all that negative self-talk disappears.

Challenge yourself this week to make sure that you are inspired by your great purpose. I dare you!
