An unquestioned belief is a guaranteed reality, so if you never question your beliefs then you are pretty well guaranteed your current reality.
You see, for centuries, people all over the world have been adapting to the world while simultaneously they are creating their world as a reflection of themselves.
What if you started to consciously design your world so that you could achieve more of your goals and become the person you have always wanted to be?
I was recently introduced to “The 9 Environments of You” by Jim Bunch. Understanding the 9 Environments shows you a powerful way to design your ultimate life.
I’m excited about this sharing this program with you, for a few reasons…
It is affordable for anyone! (literally) No one else in the industry has put together a program that is this comprehensive and actionable, at this price.
The challenge is broken up into small, “easy to digest,” segments
The call to action each day is simple and attainable
What if you finally understood why you naturally gravitate toward certain goals and activities and why you sometimes have trouble getting yourself to do the things you need to do?
The 9 Environments of You will help you see how to design your life around your values so you are pulled into a bigger future instead of feeling like you need to drag yourself to get ahead!
Have you lived a large slice of life? What is still on your list of the things you want to do?
I am fortunate enough to be able to list many experiences, adventures and challenges, already lived. For each of those, I am super grateful. I do still have many more that I want to include in my slice of life. I’m not listing them all here because the purpose of this message is to get you to stop for a moment and reflect on where you’ve been and where you still wish to take your life.
Below, I’ll also share a few tools to support you with showing up fresh ideas, for what you still want to create for your own life…
Try the 100 Things To Do list (I was able to check 61). Use My 50 to build up a history of your life successes and accomplishments. This Daily Challenge site is a great place to share similar goals with others and hold yourself accountable, as is the 43 Things website.
A process that works on your conscious and subconscious mind, to begin to change your life forever, is Rick Saruna’s Make Every Day A Great Day.
The online Ten Years in the Future exercise will help you define your future. The Dreaminder is also a free tool that helps you remember what you want from your life.
I most love using my Mind Movie to help feel and visualize that my dreams already exist.
Each of those tools, is great for forcing you to sit down and to ask yourself this question… “Right! What do I REALLY want to create in my life?”
Is it time for you to do that? Then take this opportunity and allow some time for it today. Choose one or more of the tools above and hop into creating & planning the large slice of life that’s still ahead of you. Then take a step forward with at least one action!
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” -Hunter S. Thompson
Self improvement, and personal development, is all about stretching yourself beyond current circumstances so that you have the ability to be fully expressed in your life and make a difference with others. When you’re in a situation of dealing with issues that cause disharmony between you and your vision for your life, then you must deal with & clean up any of those personal blocks before you can move forward, with your personal power at full steam.
The information, below, is more for those of you who are based in the USA (yet it still has some good pointers, no matter where in the world you are).
Now… I’m not at all sure about how many of you might be in the situation where you need to solve a debt problem, however I came across what seemed a great resource for anyone who is grappling with financial issues that interfere with the more fun and exciting plans that you have for your life.
Often times when seeking financial assistance, it is obvious the person you are asking for help, is simply reading a script and trying to get you into their program… without knowing much about your financial situation.
You need a resolution to your debt problem – yet who can you talk to who isn’t only about trying to sell you something?
Damon Day, a debt settlement expert, shares some tips on what to watch out for so that you are not taken advantage of when consolidating your debt.
Also, enjoy the posts at Damon’s blog, he’s written a piece that will resonate with many of us, it contains some down to earth financial advice from our grandparents.
