Many are hoping for relief. They are hoping that [...]]]> So many individuals and families are in trouble right now. Many have lost their homes, their jobs, and their self esteem. Times seem really tough and many people are very afraid. It is in these times that you really need to know who you can count on.

Many are hoping for relief. They are hoping that the government will come up with a plan and help them out of their troubles, after all that is what the government promised. Many are hoping the President of the United States will help them out in some way, that is what he promised. Those in trouble hope for help and keep looking everywhere for a hand up and out of the problems they are facing. For most the help has not come.

There are times when circumstances are out of your control, however the person you need to be sure you can count on is yourself. Being self reliant is a great confidence builder. If you rely on your self and know your capablities, you will be less likely to over extend yourself financially and otherwise. If you are self reliant you will be disappointed with others less often, which makes it easier to be unconditionally accepting. Today is the day to start becoming the person you need to be – for you.

For our country and world to [...]]]> Change, everyone wants something to change. The current President was voted in on a platform of change. Almost everyone wants someone, a leader to create positive change in our country and world. Fingers are pointing everywhere, YOU create the change I want! Something is missing and that is personal responsibility.

For our country and world to change, each individual has to change. Each of us has to step up and be a leader in our own lives and in our own households. No outside influence can inflict change upon us, we need to be our own change agent for things to improve. If you want your economy to improve you need to do something about it on your own. You need to take charge of your life and your outcomes. It may be easy to pout and blame the economy for your situation, but you in some way you created the situation, and you in some way put our nation and world in the situation it is in. You need to change your habits, your beliefs, your perspective and your attitude for your well being and for your improved lifestyle, no one else can hand it to you.

Where do you start? First you need to examine where things went wrong for you, what choices did you make that lead to anything in your life you are unhappy or uncomfortable about. What could you have done differently. Play the ‘what if…’ game. What if I had done this instead of what I did, how would it have lead to other opportunities? Second, based on your answers, make a strategic plan. Plan the steps you need to take to improve your situation and then lifestyle. Your plan needs to be two fold, first for building a new foundation and then growth from that foundation. Examine what habits you are going to have to change and then start working on gaining better habits. Third, make appointments with yourself, actually written into your calendar, to take the actions necessary to change your life.

Yes, the country and the world need to change. We all agree that things need to be different and actions need to be taken. What most people don’t understand is that each of us needs to change in order for the nation and world to improve. The question is are you going to be responsible and make the change, or are you going to continue to play the victim of your own decisions? Be careful in answering that question, because the future of the world relies on the answer!

Think about it. What is the [...]]]> Do you have a secret? I think most people do and many might be horrified if someone found out. The effort and energy it takes to keep a secret, especially one that keeps popping up in your own mind is vast. It makes me wonder if secrets are worth keeping.

Think about it. What is the risk of your secret really hurting you? Who would be upset if they found out and to what degree would they be upset? Is anyone in your life going to be more upset that you didn’t let them know or about the facts of the situation? In most situations the secret will come out eventually one way or another. Are you ready?

Prepare yourself and those who the information may have an impact on and then, let your secret out, and do not keep any more secrets. Those secrets keep you from being able to Live the Life You Love.
