Make Your Decisions Quickly

- By : Reggie Odom -

How quickly do you make decisions? How do you make them?

We have the opportunity to make hundreds of decisions every day. Decisiveness or lack of it impacts the success of every area of your life - your business, relationships, creativity, health and finances.

Leaders in life and successful business leaders make decisions quickly. Decisiveness is a key factor in success and leadership.

In most cases we know the right course immediately for any decision we are faced with. It is universal law that the right decision is present at the moment the opportunity for the decision arises. Thanks to an exquisite internal guidance system we simply know the right one if we are tuned in.

That moment of knowing is a window of enormous opportunity. It is filled with clarity, power, certainty, transformation... These things become ours for the deciding.

A decision ignites the forces of heaven to come to the fore on our behalf in carrying out the decision. It brings us into alignment with these forces, taps us into our inner resourcefulness and increases our confidence.

A real decision closes off all options besides itself. There are no loopholes, what ifs or back doors. It is a one-pointed focus. Here lies its power.

If you hesitate in that moment of knowing, a great opportunity is lost. Considerations rush in to fill the space. The internal debating committee rises up out of the dust and the mind noise begins. Ambivalence takes the reins and energy is depleted. Self doubt and uncertainty become ready companions.

There is a quote that speaks perfectly to this. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The house is your mind. If it is in opposition to itself, its strength and power is lost. It is at the mercy of circumstances rather than the master of them.

Important decisions that need or want to be made cannot be overlooked. They make their way into the nooks and crannies of your life. They will distract you from whatever you have placed in front of them.

What are important decisions you haven't made that distract you on a regular basis? Imagine what you might accomplish in your life and work by being decisive. How life could be with the clear mind that comes from this way of being.

Will you make one of those decisions now? Which one?

Make it a habit to make decisions quickly. Practice making decisions in the moment, real decisions. At the moment the opportunity to make a decision is presented, check in with your internal guidance system, follow its truth and make the decision quickly.

Igniting Your Fire of Creative Genius

- By : Lance Winslow -

There is a creative genius in every one of us, just as Michelangelo said there is a work of art inside every stone, and his job was to free it. Well it's your life, and your mind, and it's time that you ignite your fire and free your creative genius. It's time that you open your mind and use your childlike imagination. It's time for you to think both logically and creatively, and not one or the other.

It's amazing what both hemispheres of the mind can do when they work together. One side has unbelievable amounts of information stored, which is linked to all the logical, strategic, and decision-making tools. The other side has the ability to take all that information and make it into something beautiful and wonderful. Creative problem solving is one of the biggest gifts to the intuitive mind.

Far too often, people fail to use their imagination, and develop their creative genius, and they go through life just acting upon stimulus. They go to their 9-to-5 job, they come home and watch TV, they make dinner and they go to sleep, then they get up and they do it over and over again, each and every day. Their minds become numb and the television set lights them up for 30 minutes and then drops them off, but they become addicted to the sights and sounds, the chaos and controversy, and the noise and fury, signifying nothingness.

This is not what your life was intended, this is not what you are about, this is not why you have such a powerful and creative mind. But just like a muscle; "you either use it or lose it." Isn't it time that you started using your creative genius? Why not start today? Please consider this, it's time to wake up.

How Old is Your Comfort Zone? The Older the Better!

-By : Gina Bell-

One of my favorite coaching analogies is to compare our comfort zone to the age rings found on a cross section of tree trunk.

Every time we stretch our comfort zone it's like we have a new "age ring"... a new level of awareness; greater self-esteem; more confidence, more wisdom from each experience; we become better at making decisions that support our success and we're open to new opportunities (often ones that were always there we just couldn't see them yet!)

With each new level of awareness, we are faced with new obstacles. For example, limiting beliefs that were once invisible to us rise to the surface.

This can be good or bad depending on our ability to identify them quickly and regain momentum in spite of them. This is a skill that is essential for long term success.

So, how do you identify limiting beliefs?

The best strategy I've found is to create "CONTRAST".

First, you have to be crystal clear about your definition of success. This gets your inner voice chattering and providing commentary that becomes the contrast you need to weed out your limiting beliefs.

Next, you have to pay close attention to your self-talk, best known as your inner critic (statistics say 80% of our self-talk is negative - yikes!). The self-talk and mind commentary leaves clues to our belief systems.

Finally, you have to choose which beliefs you'll keep and which ones you'll let go. Yup, I said "choose". We can choose our beliefs. If a belief doesn't support your success... let it go or replace it with one that does.

Your beliefs determine your thoughts, dictate your habits and influence your decisions. Does your belief system support your success or could there be some invisible saboteurs lurking?

Consider these two questions to test if limiting beliefs may be keeping you stuck.

1. Are you NOT doing things that you know you should be doing to support your success and are frustrated to feel stuck this way?

2. Are you doing things you know you shouldn't be doing that sabotage your success and wonder why you keep doing them?

If limiting beliefs and negative self-talk are keeping you stuck or derailing your momentum, stay tuned for my next Believability Makeover Program... coming soon!

Who Are You With?

-By : Stefan Johnson-

"It ain't about who you know. It's about who you with."

I was reading a book last night while listening to some music, when a particular song began playing which caught my immediate attention. Not only did this song have me put down my book and get 'crunk' for a good five minutes, it actually provides the answer to the questions of why you are where you currently are in life, and how you can speed up your success or failure in everything you do.

The song which provides the answer to these questions is called 'Who You Wit!' by Lil Jon and The Eastside Boyz. There is actually a very successful message behind all of that 'noise'. In the words of...well...myself, "It ain't about who you know. It's about who you with!" I added the exclamation point at the end of that quote because I'm listening to Lil Jon's song on repeat as I write this, and if you know Lil Jon's music then you know why!

Back to the message however, who you know is of little significance in comparison to who you with! If you want to get in great physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial shape in life, it is important that you keep proper and matching circles within your circle of association. The likely reason people lose and get out of shape in life is because they contain too many squares within their circles. Do your best to understand the last two sentences.

You may have huge goals and high aspirations for yourself, but the odds that you will succeed are stacked against you if your circle is filled with individuals who have no goals or aspirations, make excuses, bring you down in any way, and have no intention of becoming successful in any way. You may know many people, but you are really only 'with' a few. They could be family, best friends, mentors, business partners, and so forth. Believe it or not, these few individuals add up to be the average of your character.

It is important to align with proper circles because your association is your lifeline. I believe that warriors live and die by their swords while people live and die by their associations. One of the fastest and least talked about ways to reach success within your venture is to learn from the failures and successes of those who are already successful within your field of choice. I placed failures before successes because that's most likely the sequence of order when you do business, and the most valuable lessons for growth are learned within one's failures.

Surround yourself around someone long enough, and you will eventually adapt their principles and habits. No wonder the statement, 'the rich get richer and the poor get poorer' holds so much validity. I always say, "If you want something real bad, rock with those who got it or know how to get it while you're pursuing it, and you'll get it."

There is a secret to establishing an association of beneficial circles which is heavily underestimated, especially within our generation. If you don't have access to personal constant contact with your desired circles then the bookstores, libraries, and internet should by your second home. Books are the keys to building your association of successful circles. I believe that those who dislike reading severely underestimate the value of knowledge, and/or must also dislike engaging in conversation with other people.

I look at reading like this; you are actually being spoken to when you read! I could be doing anything in the world as you are reading this, but I am still having a conversation with your mind this very minute. I bet you never thought about it like that before huh? Yeah I know. Do you see how we are having a conversation right now? Cool huh? This is the power of reading.

Your successful association of great circles is just a few books away. What better way to pick the brains of someone and know what they know, than to read their books? It ain't about who you know. It's about who you're with! Choose to be with those who prove to be beneficial towards your progression. Choose to be with those who believe in, love, and support you. Choose to be with those who are in alignment with your life's mission and where you're trying to go.

Get your circle in shape with beneficial and similar circles. Stay in shape by exercising your mind daily through constant conversation with your association; through reading. A day without exercising the mind is a day of smoking a pack of cigarettes; you're just killing yourself slowly. The way out of ignorance is through knowledge. The way to knowledge is through people, books, and an oath to everlasting learning.

However, knowledge without application is a virus. I read a Chinese cookie which went something like, "To know something and not do anything with that knowledge is not to know anything at all." In the words of Lil Jon, 'Get Crunk!' by taking massive action with everything you learn to reach your success, happiness, and prosperity, and bless others. Don't lose out because of any squares in your circle. It's not about who you know. It's about who you with!

God Bless You

You Have a Gift, What is It?

-By: Richard Butler-

What is a gift? It is something that is given for free... There is nothing to be exchanged. It is given intentionally for some reasons. For us humans, normally we give gifts on special occasions or for special someones. When we talk about occasions, gifts are given on birthdays, graduation, weddings, anniversaries and many more. But there are times that we give gifts for no special reason, we just like to give. I always remember times when I had my vacation, I definitely had something to give to my parents and friends. No reason, I simply wanted to give them something. All people have the tendency to do that, right?

Life is not a matter of chance as most people claim. We have our own path to take, our destiny. We have the option to destroy it or fulfill it. That's is why there is what we call "FREE WILL".

This is what this article is all about. As humans, we are created for a purpose, a special purpose! As the bible says, God wants us to live a life full of abundance. God don't want us to be poor, that's reality. But if you will analyze the world now, most lives are destroyed. It's because we have not chosen the best option. Each person has a gift which he or she can use to succeed. Name it, there are professionals, skilled individuals, creative minds, extraordinary talents,exceptional planners etc. This are all gifts. There is a skill that we personally possess. You know what skill that is in you!

Now, you have a gift which you can use to fulfill your destiny, on the hand you have the free will to choose. Just a reminder, free will, could change your life in a instant, it could make your life better or ruin it in a glimpse of an eye. Use your gift wisely. At the same time, use also your gift to control your free will. Again, you have a special gift. Use it to succeed and not to ruin your life.

On our world today, you probably can't understand why successful people commit suicide. Professional actors, top businessmen take their lives and just loose up everything they have started. Money is there but happiness it not. Success is not about having lots of money, it's about being happy with all those resources that we have.

Money is there but happiness it not

Before you succeed, check your life. Know what's the special gift within you. Use it properly and fulfill your destiny. Always remember, God's wants us to have a life full of abundance!
