Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life - Hard question
"Ask yourself this: how much deprivation, how much self-effacement must you suffer before you act on your desire for meaning and fulfillment, before you thrive in your life instead of barely surviving it?"
I'm going to have to think about the answer to that question for quite some time!!

Are You Thinking Big Enough?
In a recent version of Jim Rohn's weekly newsletter (1), Robert Kiyosaki recounts a lost opportunity when he balked at paying $2 million for a property that, 30 years later, is worth at least $150 million. What were his main reasons? First, he didn't have a plan and second, the number scared him.
If you were raised with modest means, it is sometimes difficult to overcome you conservative roots. When the numbers get too big, it is hard for you to take the risk. Thus, you take more conservative projects with a higher rate of success and don't even entertain the possibility of something bigger. This same thinking can easily invade your business. When things are going well, it is sometimes hard to think of them going better—a lot better. You worry about messing up a good thing. Your thinking becomes confined to what is already working. No bigger plans seem necessary.
Even Robert Kiyosaki confides that he had to be pushed to think bigger. He constantly battled his thinking to come up with a bigger and better plan. He worked with a mentor (Donald Trump) who pushed him. Do you have a mentor that is willing to push your thinking? How big do you want to think? Sometimes it is not about what you would necessarily get if you could, but just the idea that you could get it if you wanted to. How big would that be? What would have to change in your business or your life to make that happen? How much do you want it to happen?
To consistently grow your business, you need to think big. But you also need a plan. The person that eventually bought the property for $2 million had a plan. He had an investor, a hotel chain that wanted to build there. He didn't just buy the property because he could, but because he had a specific plan and purpose in mind—and the pieces in place to make that plan work. He had the bigger plan and the resources in place to make it work. He also reaped great rewards.
When you are thinking about your business and where you would like to go, think about your plan. How are you going to get there? What resources do you need to accomplish your goal? Are there other people that need to be involved? Are thinking big enough? Don't be afraid to expand your mind and your thinking. It may result it even more than your biggest plans.

Good - Bad - Where are you looking?
The point is a little saying that the guy in the story, Mike Kilgore, attributed to his Grandmother. The saying was, "If you look at the bad, the good's going to always pass you by". I LOVE IT!
Think about the power of that saying. As you can see by my reading list and my current reading selection, I've been focusing a lot of time and energy on mastering the "Secret" or the "Law of Attraction" as many call it. This saying is so fitting for the law of attraction. If I'm looking at the bad, what am I attracting? The bad. And while I'm looking at the bad, the good is going on down the road. How many opportunities have I missed because all I could see was the bad.
One of my favorite old songs comes to mind as I'm writing this. It's called "Look to the Rainbow". And I think the words fit well with this post.
Look to the rainbow.
Follow it over the hill
And the stream.
Look, look
Look to the rainbow.
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.
Follow the fellow,
Follow the fellow,
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.
Where are you looking? What are you looking at? Is it the good or the bad? Because whichever it is, more of the same is coming your way!

To Think, To Believe, or To Know - Which is the most powerful phrase?
To Think is to contemplate. "I think I want to change jobs." Not very powerful is it. I'm contemplating it. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Changeable.
To Believe is to hold an opinion. "I believe I want to change jobs." Doesn't sound to sure, does it? Also, changeable.
To Know is to be certain. "I know I want to change jobs." That is commitment. That is a definite, unchanging statement.
What else can I apply this to? Everything.
I think I can make a million dollars. Nope. Powerless
I believe I can make a million dollars. Doesn't sound to convincing.
I know I can make a million dollars. Definite! Actionable!
Hmmmm.... I'm liking this Knowing all the more all the time.
I know you will read this post and take action, just as I know I am doing.

Thought plus feelings attract! - The law of attraction in action
Thoughts plus feelings attract! Thoughts choose the direction, and our feelings attract our circumstances. - Jim Britt
I'm reading a new book called "Unleashing your authentic power resistance-free living" by Jim Britt. This is my second book by him and I highly recommend it! I haven't even finished the first chapter and I've already got 7 post it flags on quotes.
Have you wondered why the Law of Attraction didn't seem to be working for you. Where is your attention? Is your attention on your intentions? Or are you distracted? If your feelings are pushing you away from your intention, then how can you expect it to happen? You must align your feelings and your actions to activate your attraction.

Mind Movies - The Law of Attraction in Action!
We downloaded the 6 generic movies about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks ago and have already begun to see results. The concept is quite simple. Watch a 1.5 to 3 minute movie that you make with pictures of all the things you want to attract into your life twice a day. Watch one in the morning and one before bedtime. I'm not going to tell you exactly what I've been attracting, but I'm quite pleased with the results!
Pleased enough that I'm going to buy the whole package today after 1:00PM. You can too. Check it out by clicking the link below! You won't regret it!
