What Would You Give For A Million Dollars?


We have all heard people say, “I’ll do this or that for a million dollars.”  Unfortunately it is usually
something outrageous and a one-time thing.  If you want a million dollars, you will have a better chance of reaching that goal by taking consistent smaller steps each day.

Many look at a person who is fit and say, “I wish I had a body like that.”  But then they turn the TV station and reach for another handful of chips,. rather than going for a walk or fixing a salad.

How many times have you heard, “If only I had done things differently,” and then you see them continue in the same direction, not changing a thing?

All of these situations have one thing in common – people who are not willing to change and take action to achieve what they want.  You cannot expect to make more money, improve your health or change your life if you are not willing to change your thinking and your daily actions.  

You can know for certain that you will be in the same place tomorrow if you do the same things today that you did yesterday.

What are you willing to do differently to save or earn more money, improve your health or fitness level or grow in your relationships?  Are you willing to make some changes today so tomorrow can be better?  What are you willing to invest?  Are you willing to give 10 minutes a day to a new activity?  How about 20 minutes?  Are you willing to invest in some education so you can be better able to accomplish you desires?  Will you read a book this week? Will you cut out some carbs and sugar?  Will you sacrifice a trip to the coffee shop or a new pair of shoes?  What are you willing to do?  You don’t need to donate a kidney, just make a few changes.  Start a few new habits and get rid of an old one.

What are you really willing to do to make a million dollars or to lose some extra weight?

3 reasons Why You Should Complete Your Project Now


Is there a good reason why you should complete your project now?  Maybe putting it off another day won’t be so bad.  There is always tomorrow, right?

Not if you want to be successful!  Your projects need to be completed now, or at least you need to be taking steps now to complete them.


Consider these 3 reason why you should complete your project now.


1)    Discipline – All successful people are disciplined.  Whether your project is big or small, completing it now will help you refine your discipline and it will set you up for more success in the future.  Discipline breeds discipline, just as inactivity breeds more inactivity.  Create a disciplined life and achieve more of your goals!


2)    Satisfaction – Every time you complete a project it gives you a sense of satisfaction.  This will also inspire you to tackle another project and your productivity will just keep moving forward, duplicating success after success.


3)    Tomorrow may never come.  “Tomorrow” may never come because tomorrow will become today and the vicious cycle will continue.  You will reap what you sow!  You need to sow today.


As the saying goes, “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today!”

What is on your list to get done today?

If you complete what you have planned for today, you will be one step closer to achieving your goal tomorrow.  Success breeds success, and success leaves clues.  Duplicate your success and leave some clues for other people to follow!

Is Your Day Planned By Your Vision Or By Your Emotions?


Successful people are willing to do what unsuccessful won’t do.  This doesn’t mean that successful people always feel like doing what needs to be done.  The difference is, they choose to do what needs to be done because their vision and their end goal is very important to them.  Their vision causes them to do what is necessary.  They do not allow themselves to succumb to their feelings.

When you dream a dream and put your vision down on paper, you start off with a lot of excitement and energy.  Unfortunately when you experience the first bump in the road or you wake up and don’t feel like doing anything, the excitement fades.  Instead of getting up and doing what you know needs to be done for the day, your day’s activities change according to how you feel.

How you feel should be irrelevant if you have an end goal in mind.  Successful people do not operate on how they feel.

If you operate on how you feel when you get up, those emotions will cause you to go all over the place.  You will be changing direction every few weeks, depending on how you feel.

It is essential that you solidify your vision and don’t base your actions on how you are feeling!

Is your vision strong enough to pull you through?

The Evils Of Money


Is money evil?  Is money everything?

Many people portray money as evil.  They claim, “Money isn’t everything” or “There are more important things than money”.

That is true, but there doesn’t have to be a trade off!  Money, in and of itself, is not evil.  The LOVE of money is the root of evil.

You do not need to choose between money or happiness.  You do not need to trade happiness, health or family for money. 

Money simply makes you more of who you are.

Think about that.  Money accentuates you for who you really are.  It will not make you kinder or more unkind.  It will only make you more of who you already are.

Understanding yourself and understanding money and its energy will help you escape the bondage of wrong thinking.

Money isn’t scarce.  Somebody is making it.  If you provide value, either in a product or a service, you should make and have money.

Your choices will either bring you more money and abundance, or less.  There is nothing wrong with having money.  It is just a result of habits you do over long term.  It is the results of those habits, your actions, the value you bring, the problems you solve and the difference you make in people’s lives. 

Help more people.  Solve more problems.  Make more money.  If you impact more people, you will feel better and so will they!

Poverty serves no one.  You cannot help people very much if you are broke.  It is selfish to be broke.  You cannot help the poor by staying poor yourself.

Again, it comes back to our mind set, our habits and our actions.  Money will not make you become more.  Controlling these things and making wise choices are what will help you to become more.


Proverbs 12:14  “From the fruit of my words I shall be satisfied with good and the work of my hands shall come back to me as harvest.”

Sow Discipline, Reap Multiple Rewards


If you discipline your efforts in whatever you desire to pursue, you will reap multiple rewards.
We have talked about the universal law of sowing and reaping in the past, but today we want to dig a little deeper.

When an apple seed is sown, you do not reap just one apple, but bushels of them.  When you plant one tomato seed, you reap many tomatoes.  This same principle applies when you are fair, honest and generous.  If that is what you sow, your reward will be multiplied.  If you give more than you expect to receive, then you will get much more than you expected.  If you give people value, you will reap much more value.

It seems quite simple and so we may wonder why more people don’t sow more of what they want to reap.  I believe the main reason is discipline!

It takes constant daily effort to discipline yourself.  You must discipline your thoughts, your attitude and your actions.  If you fail to do so, you fail to sow good seed that will produce a multiple fold crop.

What daily disciplines are you engaging in?  Do you discipline yourself with your time?  Do you plan it wisely?  Do you arrive on time? (Early is on time.  On time is late!)  Do you value other people’s time?  Do you spend time with those you love?

Are you learning and practicing the discipline of paying it forward, paying your taxes, paying yourself and paying attention?

Are you learning the discipline of reading all the books you can (that bring value)?  Are you disciplining yourself with learning all that you can learn?  Are you disciplining yourself to teach all that you have to teach?

Are you disciplining yourself to invest, in yourself, in your continuing education, in others, and in your future?

Remember the law:  For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards!

Likewise, if you neglect discipline, there will be a price to pay too.  Everything affects everything else, whether good or bad.

New and self-imposed disciplines are what will get you going, keep you going and get you to where you want to go.  


What areas in your life need the most attention right now?  How do you need to discipline what you are sowing in these areas?  Are you just getting started or are you on the verge of quitting? 

Don’t wait for someone else to impose discipline upon you.  Impose it upon yourself!

Your life and mine will either serve others as a warning or an example.  A warning of the results of an undisciplined life, or an example of the fruits of a disciplined life.  The Bible tells us to take a look at the field of a lazy man.  When people look at your "fields", what do they see?  What do you want them to see?

Positive Thinking Can Be Detrimental

We hear so much about the benefits of positive thinking, but many times it is detrimental if we want to accomplish a goal.  It is great for boosting your confidence, but if that’s all we do, we won’t get very far.

Positive thinking should just be the first step in the process of achieving our goals.  If we engage in positive visualization we shouldn’t remain content with the feelings we imagine in this process.  We need to take it a step further.  The next step is to visualize any obstacles that might come our way.

When we allow ourselves to visualize the difficulties that we might encounter, this helps us to develop realistic plans to get over the hurdles, rather than tripping over them when they pop up unexpectedly.


4 Steps to Proper Positive Thinking

1)    Dream and come up with a clear goal and imagine what it will take to accomplish it.

2)    Imagine and feel the outcome through positive thinking and visualization.  How will you feel when the goal is accomplished?

3)    Consider the obstacles and main difficulties that will arise and could prevent you from accomplishing your goal.  How will you respond?

4)    Create a plan or a solution for each of these obstacles.  Visualize yourself solving some of these problems.


You need to contrast dreaming with reality so that you can figure out if the goal you have been dreaming about is really worth it.  Then you can press on or release the goal without feeling guilty.

Refinement Of Discipline Will Take You Where You Want To Be In 10 Years


Ten years from now you will arrive somewhere.  The question is, where?  Look back ten years, are you where you planned to be or did life take several detours?

If you want the next ten years to be different, then you need to stop wishing and start doing.  You cannot hope without acting.

It doesn’t take many changes to get you where you want to go.  Just like a boat, it doesn’t take much turn in the rudder to get the ship to take a completely different course.

Refine your disciplines of reading, mindset and action and you will begin to see changes today and life changes in ten years.

If you are willing to make small changes, say 5-10%, and refine your thoughts and change your activity, you will start seeing results in one year, three, five and ten.  These simple changes will make an enormous impact on your life and where you will be in ten years.

Mr Shoaff, Jim Rohn’s mentor, asked him, “Are you reading Books that are going to take you where you want to go in the next five years?”  This is a simple, but yet profound question.  What are you putting in your mind?  What goes in, will come out.  What you sow, you will reap.  You are either reading the right books or you are not.  You are either making changes, or you are not.

Disillusion is hoping without acting or wishing without doing.  Do not be disillusioned!  Nothing will change if you don’t.  Ten years will pass and you will be the same as you are today, only ten years older.

The key to growth is the ability and discipline to ask yourself, “Where am I?”  Now is the time to adjust your daily habits and activities so they will take you closer to where you want to be in ten years.

What daily steps do you need to take personally, mentally, spiritually or financially?

It is never too late to start.  You can always choose to change a few daily disciplines and make an incredible difference in your life.  The choice is yours.  Refine your disciplines and be where you want to be ten years from now.
