The Life You Truly Want Is The Life That Can Be Yours!

If you are unhappy with your present situation, you can take the first step to a better life and although you have to make the effort to move forward you are not on your own.

This brief article is about enabling you to change the way you think about yourself and your life and to make very real changes for the better.

Today is the first day of a new you and achieving the happiness of life you so richly deserve.

Why should you deserve it? Because you are human!

Life is not about pain, poverty and unhappiness. Those things exist, yes, but only because we allow them to.

The more you focus on the negative aspects of life the more you will find yourself enmeshed in the web of despair it creates.

This is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is the law of attraction.

You are what you think you are! If you think you are poor, you will be poor. If you think you are not clever, you will behave as if you are not clever. If you think you will never lose weight, never have heaps of self-esteem or a barrel-load of money well the truth is that is true. Why? Because you simply create that reality for yourself.

Each of us is individually responsible for our own lives. Not our parents. Not our siblings. Not the government. Not the one world elite. Not little green men from the planet zog.
You are responsible for your own life.

If you are unhappy, poor, miserable, depressed, overweight, shy or whatever other label you want to wear emblazoned on your forehead in big red letters, then you are responsible for that situation and only you can change it.

I can't do it for you. Neither can anyone else. You need to make the effort and step-by-step, inch-by-inch reclaim your own individual sovereignty and power to create the life that you truly want. Without limit. Without excuse. Without guilt.

By following a logical step-by-plan with support you can change the way you think and if you change the way you think, you will change your life.

It takes at least 30 days to break habits, old ways of thinking and replace them with new mind-set. It may take less or more time depending on your situation and your aspirations but 30 days is a rough guide. It may take longer, maybe several months, to begin to see permanent changes. You must be willing to make the time and personal effort. Remember, no one else can do this for you, you must help yourself!

Why 30 days? Because research has shown time and again that this is the minimum average length of time it takes to break a habit. Our intention is not so much to break habits but replace those old behaviours and negative ways of thinking with new and vital behaviour and thoughts that enable us to move forwards with health, vitality, self-confidence and belief!

Today is the first day of a new you and achieving the happiness of life you so richly deserve.

On my blog is a free plan with links to a free support forum that will help you change your mind and change your life in 30 days. A better and brighter future awaits you. You simply need the courage and determination to step forward and make the journey.

Who Is Truly Ignorant?

Who is the ignorant one; the person being called ignorant or the person doing the calling? How does someone believe they are more intelligent than those they call ignorant? Do they decide it by a piece of paper they hold in their hands? Do they believe themselves smarter and better because of the education they have and the people they know and associate with?

There was a president of a local college that inherited a large piece of land that he believed was nearly worthless. It had no timber to speak of, no minerals to mind, poor soil and couldn't be farmed; it was only an expense in the form of taxes paid on it every years.

One day an "uneducated" man was driving through the property on the highway that the state build through it when he noticed how the property was set nicely atop of a mountain offering a wonderful view for miles around; he also took notice of the many small pine trees and samplings on the property.

The "uneducated" man purchased fifty acres of the property for $10 an acre in the early 1900s; near the highway the man built a log hose with a large dining room. Near the house he constructed a gas station and along the road he built a dozen single-room log houses. The log houses he rented out to the people in the near-by city that wanted to get away for the weekend.

The following year he build fifty more log homes with 3 rooms each which all rented out during the summer to the people from the local city. The building material cost him nothing as he used the trees on the property to build the log homes.

The unique design of the rustic log homes that many would complain having as a permanent home was desired for weekend getaways and served to enhance the advertisement of the resort.

So much for being worthless as a well educated college president believed it to be. So who truly was the educated person here; the college president with the PhD or the "uneducated" man that turned something "worthless" into something extremely valuable?

This same "uneducated" man, not more than five miles away, purchased what the original owner believed to be a worked-out farm for $25 an acre (remember we are talking early 1900s here) which the owner thought was a high price to pay for the farm.

This "uneducated" man built a dam on the property and flooded 15 acres of land, stocked it with fish, and sold off lots for building summer lake homes; he accomplished this project all in one summer.

Isn't it amazing how this man is thought of as "uneducated" and the college president thought of as educated; who would you rather be? Personally I'd rather have the insight and skills of the "uneducated" man over the college president.

Education is not in the books, colleges and universities; it's not measured in the number of pieces of paper you hold saying you are intelligent; education is measured by the skill you have to succeed with the knowledge you possess and in the ability for you to use the knowledge those around you posses in ways that produce success and profit.
