Today's Reflection

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS!

HANGING ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH

We are where we are in life as a result of millions of tiny decisions that we've made up to now. It is not the big decisions that dictate our life but the little moment to moment decisions that create the environment in which big decisions are made - either powerfully and positively or, more normally, mindlessly. The normal life is mindless created, as it is, through a series of mindless apparently insignificant decisions. But the devil is in the detail - and so is effortless happiness.

Check out all my videos on YouTube - there are over 300 of them!

There’s an old saying that hanging concentrates the mind. But where is the point in waiting until the very last minute to get up off your ass to start living? Yet this attitude abounds – whether it be in sport where, all too often, those who are about to lose only start playing their best when it’s too late. I see it often in life, where people will only think about getting their priorities right when they’ve had a wake-up call. It could be a health scare – either personally or that of a loved one. It could be a bereavement – actual or impending.

Hanging isn’t a good enough reason to concentrate the mind. You’re supposed to be living life to the full now. What did you leap out of bed for this morning? And if you didn’t leap out of bed, all excited about the day ahead, aren’t you the fool? What grip has your automatic pre-programmed subconscious mind got you in that you’re prepared to drag yourself out of bed, day in, day out? What kind of person are you that you’d settle for a life that isn’t replete with excitement and all good things?

Give yourself a wake-up call without have one thrust upon you. Call yourself to attention. Give yourself a well and appropriately placed kick. Life is for living and if you’re not doing that, well then, you’re wasting the opportunity of a lifetime.

HOW TO ACHIEVE FINANCIAL FREEDOM

by Willie Horton

People are obsessed with money. Over 90% of males say it is their main worry. Unfortunately, if you worry about money, money worries are what you'll get! Universal energy responds to your input - constantly worry about not having enough money - or doing what you do for a "living" just for the money - and you'll never have the financial freedom that so many yearn for.
