The Message of the Leader Rings True

Lots of our blogs are here in some form or fashion to  offer service to the masses.  No problem with that  this is the marketing medium of the day.  Then  we read or hear of the  very few who actually do make it well enough to  earn an income from online activity.

Having studied many of those leaders and finding out the genuine leaders from those that are just here for the money I am seeing some key values rise up. The leaders, true leaders give out so very much of themselves and their resources. They seem to be willing to give and serve much faster than they would try to direct a message to be accepted by the masses.

This is not a new concept.  As I read the words written in red  from a leader 200o years ago, the message carries on: If you would be first among many  you must first be servant to  many. And as you give  it will be given back to you multiplied according to the grace that flows form you. This is a law that is immutable as certain as air is needed to breath and  water always flows to the sea.  Embrace this law as you embrace your ability to breath and the value that returns back to you will be far beyond your dreams.

Positive Affirmations Need Focus to Perform

Every day in every way I am getting better and better”

I accept all forms of abundance to be  complete in my life”

My weight comes in line with the image I hold for my best possible healthy  form”

Wonderful strong affirmations that should be  the beginning point for your new and stronger self worth. But they will only carry you part of the way.  None of these affirmations will provide any  Specific Measurable Attainable results based and Time directed  achievements.

This is the definition of SMART Goals.  To offer the vague  affirmations at the opening of this article is to set up a study in unfinished chaos.   There is no definitive place in the beginning affirmations with which to know you have attained the purpose of the affirmation.

SPECIFIC

Make the  affirmation specific:  TODAY  I will spend ten minutes each morning to organize my daily plan and get 3 more tasks done than yesterday.

MEASURABLE

A measurable affirmation  puts a value to it.  A current real time affiimation for me is: ” I will weigh a healthy and strong 195 pounds  by Nov. 15, 2010.” I know you are curious  that is a 70 pound reduction.

ATTAINABLE

To be attainable an affirmation  must be  almost realistic but also  set up to make  you reach for it.   ” My intent is to increase my income $50k over my current level by  Easter 2011. I allow my mind to be open to all ideas of abundance that  assist in accomplishing this waypoint.

RESULTS   Based

Certainly to hold checks in 9 months that will prove the increase in income will  verify the results  that are strived  for.

TIME Directed

attaching a date of completion to an affirmation  prepares your mind to get things rolling because  there is a deadline.  Without a date marked as the target to complete then you are more inclined to not even begin.  The  SMART affirmations that I offered before also had a date attached directly because of this observation.

Affirmations are incredible tools to  help pull together your self worth and net worth. But  they work best and strongest when  you add the SMART philosophy to them.

Get In Line With Your Self Worth

Eagles have an interesting characteristic that keeps them lined up and in  tune with where they are at all times. There are magnetic rods in their eyes that take shape around the same time they should be matured and have built their own nest. I learned this from a book called The Eagle Christian.

As they fly out to hunt for food they fly all over and it can easily take them 100 or 200 miles from their home if they catch a fair wind. As they fly farther and farther from their home the magnetic rods tug toward the magnetic poles of the earth. To find their way home they simply fly east or west as they need to get lined up to magnetic north of their home. They know they are there because their eyes feel comfortable at last. Then it is flying north or south on that line until they come back to their home.

When we test our own hearts we will find that the same focusing sense is active in each of us as well. When we set our hearts to “do the right thing” or to find our purpose then that focusing sense fires up and it will deliver us to the place that we are meant to be for our lives. As we get more and more near to our purpose then our heart vision brightens as we begin to fulfill the longings inside each of us. We know we are getting off course from distractions because our heart vision calls out to us to follow our focus sense back to our home of purpose.

I’ve Got This !

Saturday 6-26-10  is the day I  got an overwhelming sense that  I  HAVE GOT  THIS  I can now see how the puzzle comes together and i know I can  make it work. It is simply a mark of time until people who want what I am blessed to share will come.
Lots of credit goes to my blogging mentor Connie Ragen Green and her compatriot Jeanette Cates. Because of the blogging challenges I have been blessed to be in I have gained an appreciation for how valuable consistent and relevant content is for blogging about the fire inside.
There are many in the current Blog 30 Challenge that have opened my eyes to different aspects of not only blogging but of helping to manage an online business.  Backlinking  used to be as foreign as  the Serengeti. Now  I am setting up to do a linking experiment of my own.

There is so much to look forward to, the biggest part is looking forward to giving out  to people who have a dream for their own lives. Then being one of many that help show the way to  put all the puzzle pieces together. The best part that I learned, truly learned from Connie Green is to not ever quit. Thank you!   I got This !

WayPoint: Getting Healthy Weight Adds to Self Worth

Probably the hardest post for me to write to date.  This is an area where I truly need to change for myself. And in offering this way-point I hope to see others take up the challenge and rock the house with me.

It is said that 65% of America is overweight and 31%  are clinically obese which leads into some really scary health problems. And this information is  from a 2004 report. To look into current information is not much more optimistic.  Reuters 2009 In my own personal observations it is the people that show themselves more fit that are usually promoted faster and commands more attention.

I cannot change the whole world  but I can change me and hopefully some others will  come along with me.  Please note I did not say “follow my lead”  because this is the most vulnerable part of my life right now.

Four years ago I picked up a book called Body for Life with the workbook set.  I have written in the first page of the workbook and then not ever followed up.  There was a website  that went with it and I was active on it for a bit but the results did not stick.  This is much like  a lot of America. So this is kinda NORMAL.  Just like  65%  of America is “normally”  overweight!  I am not gonna be “normal “  any longer.

The Founder of Body for Life Bill Phillips  is an incredible leader. He has sold  that work and  some products that went with that and has moved on to bigger things. Bill Phillips  on turning 40

So this is the day I step up and go for the challenge that is at Transformation.com.  There are some incredible videos  that show some amazing transformations. My favorite one is of Chris Winters video.  I would genuinely hope that others come along with me.
