Bail Yourself Out!!

If you haven't heard, there seems to have been a little housekeeping blunder. And, it seems as if the WHOLE WORLD has experienced the knock on effect.

Hmmm.....

And not only that, but, who is coming to the rescue for this financial debacle? That's right, the government.

Both here in the UK and, in the US.

Seems pretty amazing, doesn't it... financial institutions that pride themselves on being the bedrock of delivering sound financial advice, are in turmoil and are begging the government to bail them out. But look, there's a teeny problem - the government themselves are in huge financial borrowing debt!

Do you get the chilling feeling that there's something not quite right here?

I mean, here we've been told all along to trust the financial institutions with our money, loans, mortgages, etc and... to have faith in the government who now in turn will use tax payers' money to bail out the incompetents!

There's something in all this that should've hit home hard. And that is to BAIL YOURSELF OUT regarding whatever is going on in your life that has you in a dilemma.

I mean, it's easy to sit back and blame everything and everyone with what's going on around us. I mean, it's really easy to do that.

But see, if we walk that particular path, we're nothing but victims. We've lost all our power. We may as well let ourselves roll over and let everything just happen to us.

Not a great way to live, right?

Well, there's a choice to make. And, we can all make it. And that choice is to take full responsibility to become more skillful at creating a life that's immune to criticism, recession and the daft toxic nonsense of those in so called 'authoritative power'.

I think it's high time to create our own power. To create a vision based on what's important to us and not what the outside world tells us.

And you know, there's a sense of personal development, pride and power when we depend on ourselves to bail ourselves out. To trust ourselves. To create solutions.

Quite possibly, it could be our greatest accomplishment to date!

And the next time you see people in high places tooting their own greatness and their own importance, just remember the fact that the so called economic super powers of the world are themselves running their countries into debt through their utter mismanagement.

I think it's time to detach from playing the game that way, don't you?

It's Not Lazy... It's COWARDLY!

"Oh man, I'm just too lazy to do that. I won't get into that just now. I'll give it a go a little later..."

Ever said that line?

I have. And do I ever see the long term ramifications of THAT kind of language and the effect that it has on my life!

See, I used to believe that if I just say I'm lazy and have all of that slumpy heavy heaving of the breath and body that goes along with it, then that'll be the end of it - and that's whether it's getting an application completed, hopping down to the shops to pick up some shopping, visiting or phoning friends and family, getting into some social gathering or whatever - then, I'll use that TOO LAZY line, pretty regularly.

But you know, being too lazy is just a cop out. It's a cowardly way to STOP me from getting into ACTION.

That's right.

Because, when I say I'm too lazy, it's somewhat easier on the ego. It's somewhat socially acceptable. More socially acceptable than saying I'm too cowardly to get into some kind of action because what's really at the core here is that I'm too FEARFUL of moving forwards. I'm too happy with laying low instead of RISING UP. I'm too focussed on holding back instead of getting into action.

If only I knew better, earlier.

So, when I get out of bed, and I see the unemployed exercise apparatus in the corner there, hoping someone will pick it up and use it, I can lay low and say I'm too tired and too lazy to get into action and use the stuff, or, I can look forward to a period of intense adventure and love the energy of it all!

I could get into the socially acceptable club and say I didn't sleep too well so that's why I'm feeling tired and don't feel like doing the stuff that's good for my body, or, I can say... 'screw this cowardly stuff, I'm getting my mind and body energised!"

There's a TOTALLY different way of living for both sets of paticipators. And taking that a little further -- the results in almost every area of life can be guessed at with relative certainty to the results based on that simple example.

Is there much you've put off because of saying you're too lazy... that you're okay with laying low... that you're fine with hanging back...?!

Well, there's a DIFFERENT way to BE, if you embrace what's just gone on here in this post.

Have an Un-cowardly week!

Yes You! A Masterpiece in Motion

What if you could live each day as if it was a beautiful, creative masterpiece... would you then think of living any other way?

It's an interesting question and I've a friend who's been instrumental in helping me live that way - to make my day a masterpiece - just like the Taj Mahal.

And, unlike the Taj Mahal - which took years to create - living a masterpiece of a day can happen, the MOMENT we decide to think and then ACT in that very way.

So, what do I really MEAN, to create a masterpiece of a day - how EXACTLY do I go about doing that?

Well, when you really get that each day is a series of moments and within each moment we have the power to create whatever we want, once we realise that, we then have a platform to base things on.

So, my language to the family in the morning can be one of true, joyous excitement. I mean, we were all on holiday every night so doesn't it add a spark to life when you realise that, "wow, we're meeting again!"

What do you think all that does for the family environment?

When I'm into my work, I can create each written communication, each conversation, each project with detailed care and attention; as if it was a loving, priceless masterpiece.

I can reach a different level because of my intention to serve others at a higher level than they've previously experienced.

Creating a masterpiece in ANYTHING, can bring the most extraordinary rewards.

A gentleman by the name of Steve Hardison charges 150k per client per year, because of his ability to be FULLY ATTENTIVE, to LISTEN DEEPLY, to be FEARLESS and DIRECT in his communication.

He is a masterpiece in motion.

We are ALL, a masterpiece in motion.

We've just have to PRACTICE it more. So it too, reaches the level of mastery.

And, anyone you care to name whom you consider successful, has mastered the art of PRACTISING their particular masterpiece.

They're into the stuff that turns them on... that lights their fire... that has their spirit dancing around like it never wants to sleep.
There's just too much music in them and they just want to get it out and share it with the world!

Now THAT'S living a masterpiece of a day.

So tell me - and more importantly - tell YOU when you're going to begin creating your daily masterpiece!
