Are You Living On Purpose

Passions and purpose are not always top of mind when we go through our daily activities. We start to experience frustration and emotional triggers that in short make us feel uncomfortable. We have all been told that we need to live on purpose, find our passions and live in the moment. It’s definitely easy to say and so much harder to do. You see when you are truly ready for success and everything you have always wished for new and exciting changes start to evolve in front of you.

The down side is that even though all of the new and exciting changes are taking place the truth is that while all of this change is taking place there is a pain deep inside. It’s that same old battle between what one of my closest friends called the “Triangle of Toxicity” The ego, the addict and the victim all combat inside to unseat your will power, distract you from your goals, ultimately proving you a failure and leaving you feeling defeated, deflated and downright frustrated.

These are the times you need to pay close attention to. It’s exactly when this activity of (I don’t like this feeling, I am not ready for the change, etc…)  your behavior may become passive aggressive, you seem to distance yourself from the new and exciting activities trying to hold on to a shredded fabric of the past. THIS MOMENT the one that makes you feel all of those negative feelings is when you need to stand up and have a support system in place. Your peers, your mentors, your valued friends and family who truly RESPECT your opinion and support your decisions are who we need to turn to in times of need.

Starsky & Hooch

Personally and professionally I can say this because my own life is a true living example of miracles through adversity. I have made the leap of faith and jumped on the purpose train. I told you last year that life had gone to the dogs and now that phrase has new meaning. I have taken a walk from what I thought was my purpose in life to teach and educate all about finances and taken my love for training to the dogs. Over the last three months I have been introduced to the Bully breed of dogs I had a beautiful Boxer / Pit Bull mix her name was Genesis. When she passed suddenly I became the proud owner of two brothers today they are 11 weeks old.

This coincides with my daily life since I have become COO of BetterHealthForDogs.com I have been around dogs for the majority of my life, my wife and I even had up to six dogs at one time, however I have never had my very own dog and these two guys are as sweet as apple pie. You can watch them all grow up here on their blog very own blog. These guys are my new focus and their well being is essential to our success. You see these guy are going to become a ring side attraction. I am going to dive head first into sporting events for these two boys. Agility competitions and sport tracking are great exercise and fun for them as well as their owners.

I have found that letting go of a situation when times are difficult can bring you full circle to a solution to a situation. Sometimes it’s just that full revolution that creates

Genesis my new found inspiration she will be missed

the symmetry and seamless solution to something that had been a challenge or difficulty in our lives. Stay tuned to the blog here for further updates. I am still very focused on creating wealth for everyone it’s just great to share amazing news and great progress towards fulfilling passions of my own. Stay tuned for updated because RW3.o is coming just after summer 2010.

• What is Frustration? I will try to be patient with the topic. :) The topic is frustration, and it’s a condition that people tend to trip over a lot. What do you think folks? Definitely. On a regular basis. The worst one, I think. People generally see frustration as something caused from "out......

SO you’ve made it, that “pie in the sky, pipe dream” your friends always said would never amount to anything. You know when you went out to talk with your associates, close friends and family for input or advice. All of your hard knocks, bloody knuckles, sweat and tears combined with the frustration and hours spent finally amounted to a sustainable source of income for you and your family. You played smart and invested wisely the funny thing is that once you finally reached success, you felt disoriented and out of sorts. Lost like a Captain without his compass lost at sea. Faced with new challenges that you have never dealt with before. Yes this sounds so funny that “I’m now super successful and I don’t know what to do.” It’s more common place than you think.

To help resolve the issue we need to look at some simple ways to keep your head above water even when it’s smooth sailing ahead. Keep in mind a couple of my favorite sayings as we move forward. 1) “Life happens when you are making plans.” 2) “When in doubt work it out.” That’s some pure unadulterated simplistic advice just like everything I am about to share with you now. If you are looking to keep up on top of success then you need to pay close attention to these words of advice. First you need to stop planning and paying attention to all of the details with your finances and entrepreneurial ventures. This assures no distraction while you are off spending your money foolishly, buying up everything under the sun your little heart desires.

Then after you have burnt out all of your credit cards and worn off the magnetic stripes, you return home for an evening of unpacking and opening gifts as if it were Christmas. It surely is great and this year you got EVERYTHING you have ever wanted. Once you finished touching and experiencing all of the wonder from the opening and cleaning of the gigantic mess, you retire upstairs for an evening of relaxation and pampering from an expensive resort spa with all of the extras and a 20% gratuity for every service. You feel like a million and only spend a few thousand what a bargain. Next you head off to the bank and grab some cash for a day trip to the city, wining and dining with friends and close family. A little boutique window shopping but you can resist the temptation since you just got over the holidays, yoou pick out a few things for frinds adn finish the evening with a brilliant theater production.

You meet your loved one and head on over to the local upscale lounge for some R&R before you head off to your vacation destination. Your Chauffeur arrives and drives you to your private runway where the jet has been fueled and prepped. The pilot is arriving on scene and it’s time to board the plane. You and your family hit the skies, heading off to your destination unknown paradise, (It’s the Captain’s choice this weekend). When you arrive at the destination you quickly corral up your family and get to your village. Your private hut is waiting, furnished with food, new bedding, clothes and all of the luxuries you would ever need to enjoy your trip to paradise.

It may seem as if I am rambling on about the extravagence of your ventures over the past period of time here. However what happens next will totally be the result of your past actions. Suddenly he door bursts open and people are stunned and confuzed as they stare into your eyes. The angst adn confusion start to escalate when The resort management comes to inform you that your credit card has been declined, your room rented out. The pilot shows up and states that your bank declined the charges for the trip and now he’s suing you. You’re thrown out of the resort, your children scared and remembering back to how life used to be. Then the inevitable question comes out… your child asks “Mommy, Daddy are we poor and out of money like how life used to be?”.

You wake up screaming, covered in sweat, shaking wondering if everything you just dreamed about was actually going to happen. Then you relax, take in a deep soothing breath and smile knowing you are safe and secure. You fought to be on top and you surely aren’t going to do anything foolish to jeopardize your self now. Sure no one is guaranteed to not have financial challenges in their life. Yet we can do so much to prepare and hedge against life, to protect and shield us if we just follow the rules and plan ahead. This is what got you here and this is what will keep you here to stay. Don’t be fooled by phony success. It’snot the size of your wallet or where you choose to destine your self once in a while or even the clothes you wear that make you successful.

It’s doing what’s right and walking on the straight and narrow that gets you there and keeps you moving onward and upward. “Leaders, by definition, ARE ALWAYS THE FIRST ONES OUT OF ANY PERDICAMENT.” “Perhaps it’s because their vantage point is unobstructed by anyone in front of them. They are not held back by those who cannot keep the pace. They find opportunity where some can only see danger and doom. When others are frozen with fear, they find strength. Though their organizations are often small, their resolve is immense. In simple terms,leaders lead. As a result, they will chart the uncharted in today’s challenging economy, slip the stream of negativity and deliver to the front lines of business. At RW30, we are proud to provide the full range of tools for true leaders.

We salute these champions of business. After all, they are the ones who will blaze the path to prosperity.” This article was inspired by Flying Magazine & Cessna, I find it apropriate to note the leaders speech was written for Cessna aircraft, what a truly inspirational piece of work. Ever since I was a little boy I’ve wanted to fly, today I put this goal on my list. I plan on obtaining insrtuction to gain my pilots license before the end of 2010. I’ll keep you posted. Until then keep dreaming and achieving.

Impending such a strong and terminal word. The pure fact that something is impending (meaning to happen in the future) is a dark and ugly shadow over many people. Especially in this crazy economy we are in. You see when that word impending is used it’s in conjunction with foreclosure, bankruptcy, death. You know what I am saying it’s going to be final.

Why is it that so many people are impending financial disaster within their own lives even when they have seen the signs all around them warning them of immediate change that needs to be taken in and implemented. It sounds so crazy to me that people would still rather live in a shadowed word where they are behind glass walls, just waiting for someone to throw a stone at you.

So forget the impending problems we need to focus on the impending solutions instead. What are you faced with? Foreclosure? Not a problem. Over Leveraged Debt? Again no problem. Are you behind on taxes? Still no problem. No matter what the financial outlook seems like it can always be altered. You do not have to wait for the worst impending situation to prompt you to get help. You have leeway and lead time to get all of your ducks in a row, so to speak.

You know it feels like you are all alone when these types of financial uncertainties take form in your life, however it’s not like you just woke up one day and there was a problem. You had some insider information that warned you about this some time ago. Maybe you just need to step aside and get out of your own way.

Have you ever felt trapped by your fear or emotions? We have all been victimized by it in one way or another well it’s time to get over it. For many positive reasons. For starter imaging eliminating tons of undue stress in your life. How about the increased cash you keep from eliminating debt and start carving out a brighter future? Nothing in life is for certain except that you have to stand up for what matters most.

This is where you get a lesson from the school of liberation. Yes liberation, you see so many people have become stagnate and displaced from their original goals and intentions that once in a while people need a giant wake up call.

If you are suffering financially in your personal life and or business then you should be getting excited. This is a moment in time you should get down on your knees and be thankful and forever grateful that you got to experience this first hand. You see you are about to get liberated from poverty, challenge and above all else get the power to take back control of your life.

You know when you used to have it all. Wouldn’t it feel great if you could have it all once again? Go ahead and take a trip back to school. The school of liberation through hard knocks. It will do you some good I promise.

Thew eyes of defeat

The eyes have it. You’ve lost the fight. You just gave your opponent the signal to come in for the kill. You know the feeling. You can see the writing on the wall. All hope is gone. Faith, desire, passion and courage have all stepped aside and made way for the victorious defeat.

You know the look, I’m not a huge sports enthusiast. For whatever reason last Saturday night I decided to watch boxing. No forethought, on a spur of impulse I switched on the HBO sports network, the big hype of the heavy weight fight between Chris Arreola and the Russian Vitali Klitshko.

First they aired the previous weekends fight featuring the returning retired veteran Floyd Mayweather, against Juan Manuel Marquez.

It was nearing the end of the 5^th round when the camera caught a shot of Marquez’s face. At that very moment I said to myself that Marquez had given up. The stats were poor for Marquez, his performance was sub, sub-par. His look was not as victorious as previous fights. In fact the look was sadness and deep self empathy. He himself knew he had lost the fight.

The wave of defeat continued through the weekend as NFL teams battled out for their reign and rule of the field and the game. The San Francisco 49ers fought a solid fight yet they lost in the end, The Oakland Raiders again were stomped by the Denver Broncos. You could see it in Coach Cables face the admiration in his teams efforts, along with the pain of such a a brutal defeat 23-3 Denver.

The third CA team the San Diego Chargers had a great game with awesome plays and a victorious 23-13 win. Not to be the sports commentator or evening news sports anchor. I bring this all up due to the attention as well as the deep emotion associated with defeat. I as well had a pretty victorious weekend that took on some of the most intense battles I have had to deal with.

The ladder of success

I felt like Marquez after an intense beating, bruised up and battered like the Raiders after the met up with Denver on their own Oakland turf. You see I have been busy with a new web project and this one is different than anything I had ever developed before. I have new team mates actually I am working with a team for the first time on a project like this.

My business partner is extremely intellectual, his mind works in a totally different manner than anything I have ever dealt with in my life. This creates some interesting nuances between us. He is such a high level critical thinker It can be difficult to follow his communication only because he can talk in such detail and description. Our meetings can go for great lengths of time and at the end of our conversations I can sometimes be exhausted.

I only bring this up to show you a solid case and point. Most people including myself would be deterred from a situation like the described ones above, conflict, discomfort, pain, weakness, defeat, ridicule from fans…

In business the results are just the same. What about in your life? Do these same results arise? Have you ever felt defeated and just wanted to give up. Did you give up or push through? I bet you solved your dilemma and arrived at a victorious end to a successful yet challenging journey.

Here’s to encouragement, growth and discovery of new found weaknesses. I am sure these teams, fighters and all of us out there who may not be extraordinary athletes, but are extraordinary individuals at what ever we do in life. I encourage you to fight through the obstacles, move around them yet resolve them. Don’t let your conquerors become your captor. You may have lost the battle but you have not lost the war. Just reinvent and join in with those of us who have been faced with those eyes of defeat and discouragement. Together we can create positive change in this world. All those in favor say “I – Eye”
