Do you feel it and believe it?

Success in life has little to do with being in the right place at the right time. It has everything to do with unwavering faith. Unwavering faith in yourself and in whatever it is that you seek to have or achieve. Most of my writings over the last couple of weeks have been alluding to success on a monetary plane. I want to let you know that this applies to ALL areas of your life.

Anyone that knows me personally knows that I have had my share of "bad relationships." But those that know me well will also be able to tell you that I have always had a deep desire to have a meaningful relationship with a very special woman. I didn't have a specific woman in mind. I didn't set out to be with person X or person Y. But, I have always hoped that I would meet the woman of my dreams. It's when I started truly believing that I would meet the woman of my dreams that the Universe began to put things in motion to accommodate my thoughts and feelings. I continued to believe in my heart that the woman of my dreams was coming into my life. The Universe responded; and she did. 

Now, here is another one of the tricky parts. You have to know when and how to accept what it is that the Universe is giving you. I almost missed it. I let my own fears and stupid hang ups almost get in the way. BUT, lucky for me the Universe is much smarter than I am. The Universe knows what's in your heart and in your mind. Presto! In spite of myself, I managed to attract the attention of the most amazing and wonderful woman in the world. Why, because I believed in my heart that I deserved to be loved and had faith that I was going to share that love with the woman of my dreams. 

When you start to think that you don't deserve love; when you start to think that love doesn't exist; when you start to believe that you will never find the person that is meant for you…. The Universe can do nothing but align itself to meet your heartfelt beliefs.

If you want to find the love of your life, start thinking, believing, and feeling in your heart that he or she is out there making their way into your life. If you think it and believe it in your heart; the Universe has no choice but to make it so.

Think it. Feel it and believe it. Have it!

Can you see it?

So, are you getting tired of reading my blogs yet?  Hehe.  This one here makes 3 for the year.  I'm doing pretty good so far to have posted a blog each week.  I was hoping to start typing today and that some great inspirational idea would come to me so that I would be able to pass it on to you.  I want to give you this piece of advice today..we create our own reality.  Kind of profound if you think about it huh?  Anything that you want out of life, you can have.  You are not restricted by your environment.  You are not restricted by your social/economic status.  The only restriction is you.  If your mind can think it and your heart can feel and believe it, then you can have it.  If you think that something you want is not achievable or that it will never happen, then guess what? You're right.  Stop thinking that you can't have something.  Stop thinking that something isn't possible for you to achieve.  The only thing that is preventing you from having all that you want is you!  Change your way of thinking and you can change your life!

Will you?

Merriam-Webster defines persevering as to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement.  Of all the qualities I possess, this….my persistent nature, is the quality that I hold most dear.  Yes some may say that being resilient is a more desirable trait.  But to this I say, what good is it to be able to recover from apparent defeat if you fail to continue on the course to achieve that which you sought out initially?  If you are easily discouraged you will never achieve the greatness you so desire. 
 
Some may say that you have to know when to quit.  To those I say, quitters NEVER win and winners NEVER quit!  Be it the pursuit of a better job, more money, or the love and happiness you so richly deserve…if you quit before you have it; you never deserved it in the first place! 
 
Life tests you.  Life puts up seemingly insurmountable roadblocks.  It's your job to find a way to go over, around, or through that pesky speed bump and continue on, steadfast towards the goal you have your heart set on. 
 
Life is meant to be abundant and happy.  No one ever said that it would be easy to get to that point.  If it were easy, everyone would be happy and rich.  No.  Life's rewards are plenty, if you are willing to stay the course. 
 
Stay the course.  Don't let those that are too weak or too scared to do so discourage you.  The side of the road to all of life's treasures is riddled with those that weren't willing to preserver.  Don't join them.  Stay the course!

1st of 2008

Ok, so I've decided to start writing regularly in my blog here.  Well, I've made that one of my resolutions this year.  So, let's see if I stick with it.  Like most people around the world I made several resolutions this year.  Aside from writing regularly in my blog I made a resolution to get back in excellent shape.  I'm not in BAD shape now.  Well, I guess that depends on what your definition of bad is.  But I can see much room for improvement so that is what I'm aiming for.  Plus, having a beautiful girlfriend helps to motivate me to look my best.  I wouldn't want her to decide that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Hehe Just kidding about that.  I know she would never do that.  But I'm still motivated to look my best for her anyway.  I also resolved to make $100,000 this year.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Are you done laughing yet? I'm serious.  I'm going to make $100,000 this year.  I don't know how.  I don't need to.  I just know in my heart that I WILL make $100,000 this year.  The way will unveil itself when the opportunity is right.  I also made a resolution to be the best boyfriend and best father that I could possibly be. I know that kind of seems like a given and a no brainer, but I think by adding it to my resolutions for the year it holds me more accountable. 
 
2007 was a pretty crazy year.  I started the year off in my house alone and ended it in love with the most beautiful, wonderful woman in the world.  I started the year off working a job that was slowly wearing me down and ended it being a struggling business owner with more freedom and less stress.  I started the year off with a less than ideal relationship with my youngest son and ended it with a rock solid relationship with an almost 16 yr old that is like one of my best friends.  All in all I think 2007 ended up much better than it started.  Financially things could be looking better.  But, I think that is all about to change as 2008 starts.  I'm more optimistic than I have been in years.  I love being on top of the world.  The view is great from up here.  Yall should come up and join me!
