2 Pertinent Questions

There are really two pertinent questions in life. Two of the biggest online sites pose them to their users.

The first is Facebook's famous "What's on Your Mind?

The second is Twitter's "What Are Your Doing?

These very questions are pertinent to our life's direction. After all, what you think most about along with strong feelings you attract into your life. Let me give you an example of what I mean.

Since I love food I'm gonna give you an analogy dealing with food.

A chef thinks about food often. The many different ways he or she prepares meals and serves them to come up with new ways. New dishes and so fourth. The more open their minds become the easier it becomes for them to create something new and exciting. The more they focus on achieving this creation the broader their abilities become to perfecting the dish maybe even making it into their specialty.

The end result is people as well as critics raving about their creation.

I want you to analyze what you think about mostly the way a chef analyzes what they want to create. Do you see how very important that we spend our time thinking mostly about creating an amazing dish (outcome) that we specialize in.

Now let's move on to Twitter's question "What Are You Doing?

I love this question because it is my niece Armani's favorite question to ask me "what Are Your Doing Uncle?

The funny thing about this question is it is a trick question. The reason I call it a trick question is you can answer it more than 1 way. It is a trick question because it all depends on your perception of the question. So it has a way of playing mind games with you.

When asked this question I can reply writing my blog post. This would be true.

However, in reality not only am I writing this post but I am thinking about all the things I have to do today and thinking about the people I love the most and mean the world to me.

Even when I answer the question in a more detailed way it still doesn't scratch the surface. I mean it sounds good when you hear those words because they are heartfelt but the core of the question is deeper than what we see on the surface.

The core question screams out something totally different. Something different that asks us these questions.

What are you doing with your life?

What are you doing with your relationship?

What are you doing with your finances?

What are you doing with this job?

What are you doing with your God given talents and abilities?

When we get to the core of these two questions we can see the profound ability they have to change our thinking and change our life.

Don't you want to change your life for the better?

Until next time, be well, enjoy life, and make today the best day that you can.

Diligent Student: Always Learning

I dropped out of high school and never looked back. I mean not until I turned twenty two years old decided to take and my high school equivalency. I needed to finish what I started.

Some may think that that was a bad decision on my part. There are times when I think of what i would have been if I stayed in high school where I would be now. I mean who doesn't think about paths that you could have taken instead of the ones you chose. I mean that is a simple human nature.

I am very fortunate that I have always been a diligent student of life. I never stopped learning even after i left school. Everyday I am learning new things in different areas that have really contributed to my life.

My dedication to excellence has allowed me to be:

Featured in 2006 - 2007 Marquis Who’s Who in Business and Finance
Featured in 2005 & 2004 Marquis Who’s Who in America

I would say that is a good start for a late bloomer in the business world.

There are many more things that I am working on. I will keep them hush, hush for now but you will soon see what I am talking about.

Everyday I am striving to become a better writer, a better father, a better mate, a better entrepreneur, a better lover. I am not satisfied with being good at who I am I am striving towards excellence in every area of my life.

It is so important to be a diligent student who have teachers from all ages and every walk of life. Teachers of all ages and all walks of life. I admit I learn from business moguls, entertainers, children, and so many others who I don't even have enough paper to cover them all.

They all have something viable to share and pour into my life. I learned from a young child to learn all that you can because life is short and also work on improving and reinventing yourself.

Life is filled with an abundance of lessons to help you become a better you. Along with each lessons comes a big reward. The sooner you learn the lessons the more rewards you will get to experience and enjoy in life.

Omnipotent Words

We are made in the image of God. It is very important that we understand what that means. What it means is that we have within us tremendous god like powers within. Let me crystallize this truth to make it clear by turning the volume up so that it resounds in your ears and heart.

Being created in his image means He created us in a way that we resemble His likeness. How can can humanity resemble His divinity?

Well first and foremost he shaped us with His hands the same way he formed Adam from the dust of the earth and He breathed the breath of life into his and our nostrils.

Which means that we are shaped in omnipotence, filled with God's breath of life, imparted with the Holy Ghost and have the power to create worlds of goodness.

Are you following me.

This means that there is something about you that many of us overlook throughout the course of our lives. That is the creating and procreating part of our lives. Many of us believe our ability to create and procreate has to do with coming together with our mates making love and baring children. To be fruitful and multiply.

But it is much deeper than that.

In order to really grasp the fullness of creating we have to watch the Master of the universe at work in the book of Genesis. Here we see in the beginning the earth is without form and void and the Spirit of God moving upon the surface of waters and saying let there be light.

Let me stop right there because this the divine concept that I want to bring into your awareness. Nothing existed on earth accept darkness and a huge body of water and God moved upon it and spoke.

He spoke omnipotent words and when He Spoke it it showed up.

Through the vibration of His commanding voice let there be an explosion of creative light happened and everything else happened in accordance to His word. Since we are made in his image we have the power of omnipotent words too.

It is just that we express them more by tearing things down instead of building them up. You can create with omnipotent words that which you want in accordance with His will.

And guess what God wants the very best for you.

Start reciting I am a child of the king. I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Use these omnipotent words to make your life better than it has ever been. You can create a world of beauty with your words. You can create radiance in the midst of life's darkest moments.

You can create a breath of fresh air to all those you come into contact with by using the power of omnipotent words. Use them more and more each day. Pretty soon you will see your own garden of Eden filled with the joys and prosperity of heaven itself.

You have the power to do that because you are made in the image of God.

Now as you are realizing more and more the what omnipotent words can do for you. You are feeling the desire to use them to change your life right now. Go out there speak life into existence enjoy the moment and live the life that God ordained for you.

Words Can Change Your Life

What I am about to share with you is going to profoundly change your life. So relax, get comfortable, listen carefully and learn this life changing lesson I am about to bestow upon you.

Many people cannot kick certain habits and addictions because of word associations that they have accepted and embraced. Let's take a person who went to prison before. The system along with society call and refer to this individual an ex-con.

Notice how they have paid their debt to society however notice how the name still bares witness of the fact that they are sill looked upon as an ex-con.

Now what would happen if you totally eliminate the name ex-con completely from the person's vocabulary and viewpoint things begin to change at that very moment.

We must learn how to strip ourselves of negative connotations which bind us to certain behaviors.

When a school child has difficulty learning school people call him either dumb, stupid or illiterate to pigeonhole him in a bad place. Sooner or later the child embraces these names psychologically accepting it as truth and works continues to mudslide down the hill.

Stop because words can change your life for the good or bad. Many of us are master of saying bad things about ourselves and others.

We say some of the worst things to ourselves when we fail at something. How many times have you been in a situation where you get burned and you verbally tell yourself I always run into people who manage to screw my life up.

The more you tell yourself that the more your subconscious accepts it. The more it accepts this information as truth the more it helps you attract these types of individuals into your life.

Your subconscious is constantly looking for word pictures to help manifest your most emotionally charged thoughts to become your ever present reality.

Anytime you find yourself about to say something damaging to yourself or others say stop. Stop or cancel it until you stop saying them.

Stop saying all that negative dog pooh about yourself for you find yourself swimming in it and eventually drowning yourself in it.

I know that sounds disgusting but you get the picture all the same.

I'm going to show you in our next post how to use words to change your life for the better.

Until then my friends live life, be well and enjoy every God given moment.

2 Words

Did you know that their are two words that will hinder, stagnate, and can possibly destroy your potential in life?

I mean throughout the course of a single day the average person uses (6073 male and 8805 female) words. I mean out of all of those words that we speak inn a day it is alarming that these two little words have that much power in our lives.

Let me share them with you really quick. The two words that I am speaking about are none other than "I Can't."

When was the last time that you used those two words?

I know I have used these two little words on many occasion.

Knowingly saying to myself I can't do this task.
Do you want to know what happened I could not do it.

Just reciting this out loud allowed my conscious, subconscious to lock those words into my thinking while controlling body to follow suit and it didn't happen.

Maybe you have told yourself as well as others I can't find the right man or woman I have tried?

Did you tell yourself I can't find a job in this time of economic drought?

Have seen yourself saying these two words on various occasions in different situations and ending with the very same results unable to succeed?

Stop using those words on yourself they will stagnate, hinder and possibly destroy your potential inn life. We can be our own worst enemies sometime.

When was the last time that someone used the words I can't on you?

Recently I was on the telephone with a doctors office trying to get something accomplished over the phone and the lady on the phone told me I'm sorry sir I can't help you.

I needed to speak with my mothers doctor and she did everything in her power for me to not speak with the doctor. That the doctor did not discuss medical business over the phone. I mean this lady was the gatekeeper from hell. I could feel my frustration swelling up.

I paused for a moment took a deep breath and said I see. Well I would like you to put me on to someone who could help me. She told me to call back later because the office was flooded with patients. Needless to say that when I called back I asked to speak with the nurse who was more than helpful and cooperative.

Just from speaking with her I not only was able to find out all that I needed to know but from then on out my mother only received royal treatment every time she comes into that office.

That other woman tried using the words I can't to discourage me. However, because I know and love the power of words and I am not intimidated by the words that people use she couldn't stop me in my tracks.

Stop allowing the words I can't to stop you from acing that test, accomplishing that goal, finding that mate, finding that job,making a better life, finding a new opportunity.

Leave those words I can't out of your vocabulary if you have been using them against yourself . Only use it if you need to use it to empower you to do something or to stop somebody in their tracks.

Until next time make today the best day that you can.

The Power of Words

Saturday night I had the quickest and biggest argument that I have ever had with the love of my life. There were things she said to me that have forever changed things between the both of us. I forgive her for saying them to me. However, I never expected to hear those words of fire blown my direction coming from her lips.

People get upset in life by allowing their emotions to get the best of them and saying some pretty harsh things. Things that are completely unnecessary to say.

Remember to be very mindful about what you say because words spoken to someone can never be taken back. We are all made in the image of God which means our words are omnipotent (all powerful)as God's words. So we have the power to build and destroy.

It is of vital importance that we realize just how powerful our words are. They can be a burst of refreshing energy that transforms the life of another or they can be scud missiles which destroy the very foundations that were so wonderfully built in an instant.

The power of your words are always creating things in your life.

You are constantly speaking into existence the things that you are seeing. If you want your life to change in a magnanimous way filled with grace and beauty learn to speak words that will build the life you so desperately want.

Until next time you must always remember the power of words.

Taste and See

When was the last time that you tried a new dish of food that you never had before that made your taste buds skip for joy like children in a playground? Think about it for a moment.

For me it happened the other day I had a hash brown omelet. Bursting with flavor I salivated wishing I owned the recipe. Never heard of it before that day. My good friend ordered it and let me taste it.

After tasting it I was open like Yankee Stadium on opening day.

Life is the very same way.

Many of us are so caught up with our daily routines, schedules and habits that we never take time out to experience something new in our lives.

Something new that can be a very small but have a profound impact upon us. Now I would never order a hash brown omelet because the sound of it just didn't ring right to me.

I can only imagine if I didn't have an open mind and the willingness to try new things I would have never had such a good experience. I would have missed out completely.

Try something new today that you normally would not.

Your new experience may open you up to a whole world of adventure and enjoyment. Until next time, remember to taste and see the life is good.
