Own Your Destiny 1 in 30
If you do this 1 time every 30 minutes your life will change!!!
Your actions follow the thoughts which your mind generates. You never commit to an action such as sitting down and then your mind all of a sudden thinks, Oh I am sitting down.
If you train your mind to think certain thoughts that action will come to pass. Some of you may be saying that this is similar to the movie, "The Secret", but it is slightly different.
I am not speaking of just having random thoughts in your mind and those thoughts coming to light. I am speaking of actually conditioning your mind in a very real manner to produce the goals you would like to fulfill within your life.
It does not stop at training your mind. Its about training your mind to become confident in fulfilling its actions.
For example, you can have the thought in your mind that you are a good singer. But that thought does not make you confident, its the carry thru of that thought that allows one to receive that confidence, true purposeful confidence. It involves getting singing lessons, participating in talent shows, and receiving feedback.
Energy + Thoughts + Action = Movement
Whatever thoughts you have daily leads to your actions which determine your movements.
A definition of movement is a progressive development of ideas toward a particular conclusion.
Example, if you are married but you have continuous thoughts about having relations with another person. Your thoughts will lead to certain actions such as going to a club all the time or spending time with your single friends more than your mate. Those thoughts plus your actions will develop work toward a certain movement/conclusion. The movement will eventually be you having that affair.
I implore you. Once every 30 minutes do something (something positive) that has to with whatever movement you would like to create within your life. It can be something as simple as just writing down that conclusion. The conclusion can be financial, relational, or career.
If you would like to own a home. Even if you are sitting at work write on a piece of paper, I will buy a home in a year. The thing that will happen is that your spirit will become more empowered which will then move your energy to form your thoughts to develop actions to then create movements.
This thinking is about empowering you to create a life you deserve. But do not wait for it to be handed to you.
So 1 time every 30 minutes have a thought/ action concerning the movement you would like to create.
Then watch your life change!!!

Ignorance Begots Ignorance
Then I started thinking about how I have been using my time. My thought was, concerning myself, how could I have been so ignorant. I have wasted my time on ignorant people, ignorant moments, ignorant situations, and ignorant emotions. I am using the term ignorant as the colloquialism that means stupid.
Last week I said how mistakes are experiences. But sometimes we waste time trying to make a relationship, whether friendship or otherwise; a situation, a job, a business opportunity, or a moment something that it is not or will ever become.
Some of us are repeat offenders. We go into something with our eyes wide shut and we have this tiny inkling of exactly what it is but we ignore it. We become "ignorant" to it.
We become a slave to what we want something to be and not what it actually is.
Some of the greatest CEOs and generals in history became great because they were able to look at reality dead on with its flaws and all.
How do you do such a thing:
Be courageous, know that you are equipped to handle your life.
Value you! You would not let anyone drive your Mercedes, why let anything or anyone crowd your life.
Take inventory! Look at what people, emotions, and situations should not be in your life.
In order to redecorate a room sometimes you have to move the old furniture out. Its the same for your life.
Live on purpose and be courageous.

Mistakes - everyone makes them
You know if you insert this into your blood stream it will ruin your life?
I am speaking of mistakes.
Do not wallow in the mistakes of last week, just write them down, and recognize that it was not a mistake but an opportunity to learn...to learn more about yourself and the operation that surrounds you. Whether that operation is filled with family, friends, co-workers, ideas, school, etc...
The key is to not to allow these mistakes to be your stop sign, your road block, or your cause for confusion. You can not turn a mistake into an emotion. AN emotion that seeps into your blood stream and causes you to question who you are, who you are meant to become, and your present task at hand.
Mistakes are meant to help form your experiences. I compare mistakes to a video game. In some video games a player has three lives. Once you make three mistakes, you...as the player dies. But do you stop playing...No!!! You recognize it and now you play more proficiently because now you understand what detail to observe and also what not to do.
Mistakes help to tailor and stream line your movements.
This week keep moving and pushing.
Mistakes...the best leaders make them. It does not mean you give up. A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he said "he lacked imagination and had no original ideas."
Go out and make this week yours!!!
In the words of a leader that has made many mistakes, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop".

50 Cents new book "50th Law" is the TRUTH
50 Cents new book "50th Law" is the TRUTH
Now I do not buy his music and I do not run to the computer to download his videos...basically on the musical side of things I am not a fan. I respect him but not a musical fan.
One thing I can not put past 50 Cent is that he is a genius. He is inventive and knows how to create a situation not for a moment but so that it continuously leads to another endeavor or opportunity. Many of us, as human beings, do things for a moment until we can create another moment. Its as if we always start from the beginning. But 50 Cent has learned the art of what I like to call "chain opportunities".
Chain Opportunities is basically looking at an opportunity and figuring out what to do to make that opportunity lead to another opportunity or endeavor. 50 Cent teaches in the "50th Law" by giving concrete examples from his experiences how to do this and how to make it an art form.
Also the "50th Law" had a great co-author and that is Robert Greene. Robert Greene is the author of the best selling book "48 Laws of Power". For those that have not read it, it is a very powerful book and that if used the wrong way can actually be used to support evil intentions.
Robert Greene and 50 Cent have together written a great book! The book uses 50 Cent's experiences (even from drug dealing days) and Robert Greens flips it and teaches how to use the specific tool in every day life.
I recommend the "50th Law" for those that need to expand their mind to think beyond the moment and move into the next experience or opportunity.
