Desire and Persistence

In the course of our life we may often come across the question, "why are things not going my way?" It feels like the tides of the world have turned against us. We must then analyze what it is we are trying to accomplish and how badly we want it.

I find it is much easier to recall an image then it is recall an inspirational lecture you heard a long time ago. Therefore, I gathered together all the artisitic talent I could afford and came up with this drawing.

In order to accomplish any noteworthy goal in our lives it requires we contain a certain amount of the internal qualities of Desire and Persistence. Equiped with this pair men and women are imbued with unstoppable courage enabling them to turn any thought into its phyiscal reality.

Observe the way Desire and Persistence complement one another. When lacking in Desire persist in your objective, and when lacking in persitence recall how badly you desire your purpose to be fulfilled. Remember this diagram and commit it to memory, it will help you when you find yourself lacking in either of these attributes.

I leave you with a quote by the great Napoleon Hill.

"The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat. If you find yourself lacking in persistence, this weakness may be remedied by building a stronger fire under your desires."

Looking for the Answers

Hello ladies and gentlemen! I am back. I apologize for all loyal readers. I had tried to post 3 really cool video posts (with graphics and everything) yet they failed to post, for a reason I am uncertain. I have created two new websites and been things have been generally crazy at the business! Bad economy what? I leave you with my homecoming post.

Why does it seem that whenever we are struggling to find the answers to our problems and difficulties in life we seem to bring about either:

1. More problems and difficulties of greater significance.
2. A different type of problem of difficulty

How many times has worrying about a particular issue or problem actually increased the difficulty of the problem? More often we actually replace a specific problem or difficulty with an entirely different issue to be upset about. Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same results.”

We must then trace our results back to their source. The answers we seek or shall I say the cause of our most demoralizing failures is a result of looking for different effects among effects. However, many fail to see the actual cause of the situations they find themselves in. If you can begin to understand and change the CAUSE of the situations present in your life you can at once begin to take control change the effects.

Our current situations are mostly the result of our habitual mindset. The subconscious motives that dominate our lives tend to reoccur and repeat themselves. Many of us have been programmed to think in a specific way from a very young age, engaging in all kinds of limiting self-beliefs and negative states of mind. These patterns can become very destructive. Unfortunately, the programming of negative states of mind is not voluntary.

Our error comes from looking on the outside for these answers. Trace back the steps any material object or manifestation to its essential cause. You will find that all originate from one source. This ONE source is a spiritual source and the source of all power. It is not presently my purpose to describe this source, however, the earnest student of the mind will find that our means of interacting with the source comes from our ability and free will to think.

Therefore, when searching for our answers let us first examine our habitual modes of thinking. This is where our will power will play an important role. It is not our will power’s job to make our desire come about by playing with different effects, but to change our method of thinking. The answer you already know, you just have to convince yourself of this.

A Time for Artists

The winds of change sweep across the country knocking down stock tickers, blowing down banks, and take away the homes of the citizens. The country's cries are heard echoing around the world suffering in a financial hurricane. With our broken system, the individual is left with nothing to hold onto but hope.

A change can be seen in a man faced with dark times. His shoulders droop, his eyes gaze toward the ground, and a stir of uneasiness dwells in his belly. Economic uncertainty is not only a reality of life style change, but also a distinctive emotion that reaches the heart and spirit.

This fierce enemy of uncertainty expresses itself in the form of fear. Thoughts of lack, limitation, and desperation are the byproduct, only leading to more of the same. The mind filled with doubt makes poorer decisions, and instructs the body with less confidence as it sinks deeply into the seat of the subconscious.

In light of these difficulties, I call upon the power of the ARTIST. The artist alone contains the ability to connect another human being to the power of creativity and the awe of the infinite. The artist shares a bond with the Infinite Intelligence I can only hope to faintly convey with words.

Men and women of today are not beings of pure logic, but creatures of emotion. Thinking positive thoughts can have no outward effect unless it is energized with the power of emotion. The artist speaks to this side of the thought process. Whether the artist’s message is negative or positive (both have their appropriate usage), the observer and the artist themselves come in touch with this powerful tool of change.

More than anyone else the artist is able to connect with the infinite creative power of the Ether. In the finest works of art the observer and the artist alike may readily catch a glimpse of the Divine. The times are indeed a blessing in disguse as the creative enegry that will be necessary to emerge will show us all how strong we really are. Therefore, my friends take up your pen, paintbrush, camera, crayon, computer, dancing shoes, and your voice and let it be heard. With the artist there is hope.

The Illusion Of Confidence

The audience’s deafening applause made Joe’s palms sweat. He hadn’t been that nervous since the time he had to tell his girl friend’s (and now wife) father that she was pregnant, or since he had to kick the game winning field goal in his high school game. He knew this because it was the last time his abdomen twitched simultaneously with his right eyelid. Slowly, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and went out to tell deliver his first line. That night at the “improv”, in front of the largest audience yet, Joe gave the best performance he knew how. At one time Joe would have been considered the timid fellow scared of his own shadow. However, this was before he mastered the Illusion of Confidence.

Interestingly enough, we rarely consider ourselves “confidence” in a given situation. Mostly, we measure some level of un-confidence. When we are participating in activities in which one might explain us as confidence, everything seems to FLOW very naturally and our confidence is, indeed, – effortless.

If you are by yourself, you can neither be confident or un-confident. Your level of so-called “confidence” is completely neutral. Therefore, we may deduce that confidence, in reality, is based upon other people’s perception.

The example of Joe shows us that many different situations in life will be faced and all will greet us with a certain amount of uncertainty. Our level of confidence that others perceive in us, however, does not have to vary. Even in a situation in which we may feel very unsure of ourselves, rest assured the confidence we display is not a reflection of how unsure you feel, but of how unsure you are perceived. The outcome is fairly negligible. Most others do not care if you win, lose, make a fool of yourself, or look great as long as it doesn’t make them feel uncomfortable.

Take this with you. Confidence is an illusion. Try even faking your confidence if you feel any fear or uncertainty in a given situation. You will find, soon your “faking” will turn into your effortless reality. With many holiday gatherings and possible encounters with odd family members you can have a great time practicing your skills of illusion!

Happy Holidays to all and thank you for reading Living Infinitely.

Subconscious Cruise Control

No matter what field or area of life, when one truly does something well, they make it look EASY. Notice a professional golfer smack a 300 yard drive, a basketball player leap over their opponent for a dunk, an amazing speaker deliver their message, or a Olympic athlete in their given sport. Everything done well is done in a manner that makes it look as if they are performing with ease.

Now lets take the flipside. Imagine a struggling salesperson working every angle to make a sale only to be continually let down, a physically out of shape individual hitting the gym for the first time, or perhaps a nervous schoolteacher giving their first lesson. These individuals may be saying the same words, imitating the exact same actions, and even thinking about the same desired outcome, however, they fail to match the level of performance. While their conscious mind may be prepared for the task, their subconscious system (which regulates the body, works 24 hours a day, balances your steps, and does million other activities at the same time) is not as programmed as the expert.

Playing the piano has blessed me with the knowledge of the working power of the subconscious mind. Any piano player would not be able to consciously understand every note they are playing without the tremendous assistance of the subconscious mind. In fact sometimes it feels like the more you let go and let your subconscious take over, the easier it is!

Therefore, remember this when setting out on your goals. Your method of thinking is the starting point for all achievement. The thoughts and emotions you allow to enter your mind will find their way to your subconscious. The tasks you then embark on will either be filled with ease or burdened with difficulty. Happy Holidays.

Increase Your Personal Economy of Scale

“As Long as you are going to be Thinking Anyway, THINK BIG.” Donald Trump

In the wonderful world of finance, economist refer to economies of scale as the point in which a company beings to grow larger thereby, decreasing the average cost per unit of items sold. The company experiences increase production and efficiency as the average cost per unit is lowered since fixed costs are shared over an increase number of goods. In other words: When goods and service can be produced at a larger scale with on average less input costs, economies of scale are achieved.

Economies of scale often allow companies to operate on a broader scale and expand the geographic territory of that company’s reach. Economies of scale also result in increased efficiency, as tasks are performed fast and with more quality. Henry Ford understood economies of scale. Henry Ford had a BIG vision for his company when he promised, “a motor car for the great multitude.” Mass production was introduced and you probably have a “motor car” or two in your garage as you read this.

The reason I bring up this economic principle is because it can be used in your personal life to your advantage or to your demise. Individuals who become “Bigger” than themselves sow the rewards of economies of scale directed toward them as an individual and reap the benefits of influence and wealth. Conversely, individuals who restrict themselves through self-limiting beliefs create a diseconomy of scale sowing the seeds of failure.

Let say Henry Ford had a bad year and he may lose over a million dollars. However, because of the economy of scale he setup within his corporation he is still a very rich man. Bad markets, economic fluctuations, and sheer misfortune do not discourage the individual who has economies of scale working for him!

I apply this to the world of business as finances, but the principle can be applied to any area of life. Persistently thinking BIG will allow you to grow in the direction of your choice. Let me give you a couple of examples of individuals who have used the economies of scale to generate a much “bigger” life.

A golfing friend of mine used to sell satellite dishes from a small office and do the installations himself. Times were tough; when the phone wasn’t ringing he was forced to work two jobs. This friend of mine started thinking BIG. Now he owns a call center that does satellite TV installations all over the nation.

Out of my cell phone store I sell holsters for various cell phones and tools. I started thinking “BIG” and created an economy of scale using the Internet. My website Ripoff Holsters Online now sells holsters from China to Switzerland.

Many very successful people are not necessarily more talented, skillful, or lucky than the next guy. However, their level of thinking allows them to soar the next level of achievement. By utilizing the law of economics and economies of scale individual can leverage themselves to levels of achievement beyond anything they ever dreamed possible.

Thoughts or Actions?

Step right up ladies in gentlemen and get your ticket to the hottest boxing match of the century. In one corner we have Practical Pete.

Stats:

Nose to the grindstone hard worker

Understands the ins and out of Newtonian law

Achieves results through constant action

Brain the size of a pea, but muscle well developed years of labor


In the other corner we have Mystical Manny

Stats:

Able to keep his mind constantly in the realm of thought and awareness

Manipulates life on the Quantum level

Mastered the art of levitation

Achieves results through thinking and creating desires from the central point of existence


The fight going on with these two brutes, Practical Pete and Mystical Manny, is a fight myself and many of the readers of this blog face inside their head everyday. I usually error on the side of mystical Manny, because I think the realm of thought is an extremely power vehicle. However, the problem remains. We live in a world governed by Newtonian physics. We cannot turn a submachine gun into a piece of bread (a least not instantly). Even with a vast understanding of quantum mechanics which indicates all possibilities exist at any point of existence at all times past and future, we still cannot travel back in time, or transform our realities in an instant. At some point in the consciousness of humanity may be able to accomplish these feats without a second thought. For now, we can do our best to understand where these two great fighters meet and maximize our potential!

The physical world is much closer to the spiritual realm than we give it credit.

When attempting to accomplish great things, overcome addictions, find love, create something new, or any other endeavor set out upon in order to maximize your life the question must be asked: what is the best way to get the results I desire? Should I meditate all day and pray the results come about? Should I go out and just start randomly knocking on doors until I find an answer to my problem?

In order to maximize your results a progression must be followed that involves both thinking and action. At the very heart lies DECISION. You have been given the right by God to choose your path. The very first story in many holy books is of Adam and Eve. The story of Adam and Eve introduces the most fundamental element of the human experience is introduced: Decision. While we cannot choose many of the factors in life (although some speculate our souls may have chosen certain “lives” to live to enable their spiritual growth) we have complete control over our thoughts.

Once you have decided the path you want to take in life, our thoughts may then be emotionalized with desire. This process draws us to our desires through the law of attraction. Through single-minded desire with a definite purpose our brain and imagination begins to create ways to fulfill that desire.

Action then is inevitable. When desire has been fueled strong enough it often feel like we are not even trying, but rather fulfilling what we are meant to do! The “hard work” is mental. Knowledge of these principles is the beginning of getting the limited garbage out of your mind. I speak of this, and love to talk about it, because it has changed my life dramatically.

Maximizing your life is a process that will only get better and better. Thoughts and actions are not contrary to one another, but exist on a continuum that we call life.

THE POWER OF THOUGHT IS THE POWER OF CREATION

by Pablo De Leon

Here at Living Infinitely, I usually like to write my own work and convey my understanding of principles that have either worked for me, or at least make sense. However, sometimes other people in my life convey a principle or a practice that can only be said in their own words. Pablo De Leon, CEO of TGA truck driving school presented me with this essay. Pablo De Leon is a great man and business leader, with a tremendous imaginative mind. I have admired his ability to take ideas and create them into something truly wonderful. Here he writes on Creating your Reality.


Is it possible that we are a result of we have thought and continue to think? According to the teachings of Buddha we are exactly what we think, but many have gone through the journey of life without truly understanding what this concept means. The statement does not imply that we are every thought that travels through our daily minds, but rather, the thoughts that are utterly repeated within our minds that create a subconscious train of thought that eventually transmutates into our past and current realities.

Speak to someone who finds him/herself in a state of "failure" and listen to the words that they speak. Take note that these words are not consciously thought out, but are subconsciously given to construct the sentences and statements they convey to others. You will often hear, “Life is too hard and full of unexpected circumstances that are beyond my control” or the famous, “I will never find happiness here.” Sadly, one must begin to understand that this is what they truly believe inside and what they ultimately create in their reality! Before their own eyes, they begin to mold and shape their current reality by the thoughts that are constantly repeated. A term that has been defined as AUTO-SUGGESTIONS, in which the mixture of emotion, belief, and thought paves way to our reality. Through the conscious mind, we use auto-suggestions to transmit our conscious thoughts into subconsicous habits.

We all posses the same power and capability to create our reality, yet most will still doubt the power that is so easily manipulated. Where are you in life? Take a brief moment to note where your thoughts are too. You will begin to realize that they work in unison, thought and reality, to create a life that you either dislike, are content with, or truly enjoy. Remember, you are in complete control of the reactions to your circumstances and how you ultimately create your reality through thought backed by belief!

The Receiving Station

Being the proud owner of a cellular phone store I happen to be overly interested in obscure things like radio signals. Radio signals enable us to communicate from across the globe. I often spend my days on cell phones communicating with businesses and friends on the other side of the nation. Amazing! These invisible signals travel across entire nation to communicate with another human being. The power of these man-made electronic devices is astounding as they are able to transmit and receive invisible waves of information beyond our immediate comprehension. Imagine now, how much more powerful our brain can be.

Often in Living Infinitely, we look at the transmitting side of the brain. The thoughts, which subsequently become actions, we transmit into the world become our reality. The power of thought is infinitely more powerful than the cell phone. The very cell phone we speak of is a product of thought. Today however, we will discuss the receiving station of our brain.

Just like a cell phone our brain is constantly transmitting and receiving signals. The thoughts that we constantly think about are what we become. The famous saying from the Old Testament says, “As a Man Thinketh so He is.” There is no doubt the dominating thoughts of an individual shape the destiny and future of that individual. However, it is equally true that the brain acts as a receiving station.

The thoughts that we are constantly fed are accepted by the subconscious mind as fact. We live our lives largely based upon what has already been established by this part of the mind. The result of this can be readily observed in children from different families. Many a broken child has been created by parents constantly telling their children they are not good enough, smart enough, too fat, too skinny, and a host of other negative seeds constantly planted into the brain.

Powerful transmitters include music, television, books, blogs, and friends. Pay attention to the images, sounds, and emotions that are being transmitted to you. The constant bombardment of other thoughts making their way into your brain is not to be taken lightly! These images, sounds, and emotions make their way unnoticed into the automatic processes in the brain. The invisible soldiers make their way into your mind and march through your brain, gradually setting up camp and surrounding your actions. This army can serve as a tremendous asset and be a devastating foe.

What are you feeding your mind?

Persistence and Faith

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” Dale Carnegie – author


The powerful quote above illustrates the power behind persistence backed by unwavering faith. Lets analyze the statement in detail:

“The most important things in the world”: Think of the implications for your life. If the monumental events of human history have been accomplished when no hope was in sight then surely many events of our own personal lives pale in comparison. Conversely, this statement implies that by applying persistence we can overcome even the most catastrophic turn of events.

“accomplished by people” : “People,” whether collectively standing together with a purpose or persisting on alone have the same abilities to overcome insurmountable odds as all other people. Impossible only exists in the mind.

“kept on trying”: This does not imply using the same tactics and strategies, but rather never stopping looking for methods to accomplish your goal.

“no hope at all”: Behind all persistence must be an unwavering faith that succeeds hope. Hope and wishes will only get you so far. The power of persistence backed with Faith will allow nothing to stand in your way. The moment unwavering faith is applied to a situation the outcome has been decided.

The only person that is defeated is the one who believes himself to be defeated. All defeat is temporary when persistence is applied. Not blind persistence like a bee running into a window, but a persistence that says no matter what I will find a way! That is where the great mixing pot of faith and persistence blend together to create the necessary opportunity and perfect solution.

Stop Wanting and Start Believing

Living in Los Angeles one often encounters individuals who want to be FAMOUS! Dreams of being a hero on the cinema populate their thoughts. Wanting to attend lavish parties, hobnobbing with the rich and famous, and being interviewed by “Entertainment Tonight” are long on the mind. Unfortunately, the goal always seems to be just out of reach and you are left with one thing: WANTING. This is the case for not only for the Hollywood crowd, but a reality of the state of the world.

This is often why many see great rock stars turn to drugs. Why do these musical legends that seem to have it all turn to destructive habits? Most of us won’t experience the excitement of performing in front of thousands of people. Isn’t that enough? Unfortunately, sometimes its not and that new high is never reached.

Wanting can only and will only lead to more wanting.

You may say, “I want good things!” There are essentially three good ideals we can identify as “good” things: Health, Wealth, and Love. Most other ideals can fall under one of these labels. For example we may want friendship, which would fall under the essential ideal of love. Some may argue that wealth is not an essential ideal but at least an adequate amount is necessary for sustenance can be agreed upon. Many have tried their entire lives to find these three ideals in the world of matter to no avail, only discovery more wanting. Fortunately, these ideals cannot be found in the world around us, but rather in the world inside of us. With a basic understanding of this we can stop wanting and start BELIEVING.

The DESIRE for these ideals to become manifest in our realities must be so strong that it actually becomes a belief! When we believe something on the inside it not only eliminates want, but also creates the actual outward manifestation of the desired outcome. The very chemicals of our body and electrical connections in our brain begin to take form to structure and accommodate our belief. Henry Ford was very wise to say “whether you believe you can or can’t either way you are right.”

If you want wealth and abundance, look out into nature and notice the wealth and abundance lavishly decorating the earth. All of the gold in the entire world will never equal the amount of gold you can accumulate in your own mind. As Jesus said, “To him who was, more will be given, and him who has not, that much will be taken away.” Wealth is an inner state. Let inner state shine through into this world of matter and it will begin to manifest itself as sure as the sun will continue to emanate rays of light.

If you want love, give love to other and you will receive equal in return. Celebrities who give selflessly themselves to their art and devote love to the world experience a beautiful reciprocity of love and respect from fans. Someone wanting a partner is truly only looking for self-gratification in some form, yet someone letting go of the ego and truly loving another will receive that love.
If you desire health, understand that health can ultimately only come from within. Everything in this world of matter will pass, but the peace that comes from within and breathes health and calmness from the realm of Spirit cannot wither. Additionally, the health you may enjoy on this earth will only come to you in abundance if you recognize that our bodies is simply a temple for our Spirit.

Personal Magnetism the Art of Attractive Presence

Have you ever noticed how some individuals seem to have an invisible aura that surrounds them and makes them irresistible? People want to be around them, do business with them, and even start romantic relationships with them. Invisible magnetic forces seem to give these certain individuals advantages in life. When this power has been developed properly the very presence of these magnetic people can have a calming and relaxing effect on others. There is no denying the fact that personal magnetism exists, but how does one improve their magnetic qualities? The following is a list of what creates this personal magnetism, and how you can improve yours.

Physical Magnetism

Being Tall Helps: Even large statues with great height seem to have some kind of magnetic presence. Tall people seem create this magnetic field because of sheer genetic characteristics.

Improve your Body: One of the most powerful and direct ways of generating irresistible personal magnetism is to get in shape. When both the male and female body types build lean muscle and shed fat, they take on their distinctive shapes creating a powerful attraction. Additionally, being in great shape has been known to help self-confidence and create a powerful magnetic field.

Wardrobe Check: A person displays an image they want to portray to the world everyday when they choose what clothes to wear. Stylish clothes, jewelry, and other physical adornments can have a small effect on the overall magnetic field created by the individual.

Inner Magnetism

Send Out Positive Vibes: This is one of the most powerful tools in creating personal magnetism. Studies have shown that positive people live longer, healthier, and happier lives. When you walk in a room, or walk past another person, smile. Sending out positive vibes to others will project confidence and strength.

Find the Inner Game: Our true selves exist on a deeper level then simply our personality, attributes, and habits. Truly understanding the full potential of our mind and soul is a journey that we must take throughout our life times. Understanding the cause of our magnetism can help us understand our full potential and essentially let that light shine for others to see.

It all Comes Down to Confidence: You may read things about eating certain kinds of fish oils will make you a more magnetic person (and it may). However, the over arcing principle behind all the steps in helping you create personal magnetism is increasing your confidence. Follow each aspect carefully, and think of ways to incorporate them into your life bringing you confidence as you improve on each one. Confidence is a fickle friend. Sometimes doing one small thing, such as wearing an outfit you really think looks good can sky rocket our confidence through the roof. Additionally, confidence compounds itself like interest in the bank. The more confidence you have, the easier it is to build.

[Personal Magnetism]

[Leadership Aura]

Intention: The Beginning of Wealth

Intention begins with desire. The stronger we desire something, the stronger our intentions instigate an attraction to the desired object and bring it to reality. Therefore, our deepest desires can be made a reality in our lives through our intentions. Many people speak of dreams and imagination being the creator of wealth, health, happiness, and whatever else your heart may desire. Dreams and imagination are important, serving as a foundation. However, our desire and intention are the missing elements that many fail to incorporate into their dreams and in-turn fail to change their lives

Many advocates of the law of attraction draw a large audience by stating that no plan or strategy is require in creating personal wealth (we will use wealth here in any sense you wish monetary or otherwise). These individuals are missing a key point of intention – the bridge between our realities and our dreams. Since we were kids we have heard about wishing upon stars, genies in magic lamps, and to generally to never let go of our dreams. At early ages many of us are strongly influenced by voices telling us our dreams are out of reach. When we grow older into our teens and early adulthood we lose much of our ambitious thoughts when realize that things are not as easy as we thought. A great many people dream of being rich, famous or a host of other goals, yet those that obtain tremendous results have found on the inside what it takes to be truly wealthy. The meeting point between results and dreams is INTENTION and it is my pleasure to assist you in generating strong intentions that deliver.

As I mentioned before creating intention truly begins with a definite burning desire. I say the word DESIRE because it is stronger than a mere dream or wish. When desire becomes cultivated to become an action it can be described as our intention. It is the missing link in many self-improvement and mind management writings. Here is why. When our dreams become strong enough to be called desires the intention usually takes care of itself. In a process that can be only described as super-natural (although it clearly happens often in everyday life) the plans and strategy to accomplish your dreams become spontaneously apparent. The process can take days or possibly months, but once the principles of harnessing this great power are mastered, the results are staggering.

Success comes easily to highly developed success conscious individuals. Have you ever met these individuals? It seems every venture they partake in brings about some form of success sometimes in ways greater than they expected. Success cloaks them like a super-hero’s cape and steers them from difficulties. They use the power of intention to steer their actions and formulate PLANS for achievement. Their intention stems from an intense desire to become who they will to be. Nothing is forced, but rather attracted through the mindset. With diligence and practice the mind hones its abilities making the process easier and easier multiplying the results.

Therefore, the question must be asked how do we go from dreams to intentions to definite plans. Three ways have brought proven results.

1. REPETITION in programming the subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind interprets what we tell it as absolute and programs our body on how to respond. We can influence our subconscious mind by repetition. If you constantly hear something, you accept it as truth. Write down what you want to accomplish. Set a dollar amount, a house, a car, a state of mind, ect. Do this in the positive, I will ________ (fill in blank). Do not do this in the negative or the opposite will come true (example: I don’t want to be broke).

2. EMOTION in belief. Our centers of emotion some of our most powerful assets. If you do not believe me study the life of an artist. Many artists are deeply moved by emotional states to create great works beyond average human capacity. Our positive emotions (sometimes negative too) can be directed to help accomplish our goals and enable our intentions. Emotion gives legs intention.

3. PERSISTANCE in application. The techniques will come to some more naturally then others. However, persistence of these principles WILL secure the desired result. Once you have formulated your plans and begun to see them through be persistent in your intention and strategy. If you fail to accomplish your goals the first time, then your plans were not sound. Be persistent and try again. Each time you “fail” it plants a seed of success for later.

The preceding are not beliefs of an odd religion, but rather laws that govern our universe. They can be applied and master by anybody with the capable mind to receive them. I have used these laws of intention to manifest great things in my personal life including businesses producing cash flow, put ideas into motion, and created some fantastic relationships. Currently, one of my goals is to intend visitor to come and enjoy my website Living Infinitely in hopes we can share knowledge about what works in life and how to maximize our potential. So far it has been working, I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

Why You Should Turn Your Cell Phone Off For 1 Hour per Day

Turn off my Cell for ONE Hour!?!

No vibrate, no silent ring, no messages. Period.

Oh yes and it can’t be in the morning that’s cheating.

Why would I tell you to turn your cell phone off for one hour per day? Being the owner of a cell phone store and a website that sells GSM phones it does not make a lot of sense for me to tell you to turn off you cell phone. I even support people wearing Bluetooth devices; they are tremendous assets that assist business professionals and people on the go everywhere in the world. Cell phones have changed the world. The speed of business has grown exponentially and productivity has soared to unbelievable heights with our state-of-the-art handsets (technical talk for cell phone or mobile device). SMS, EMS, MMS, and other messaging systems enable individuals (millennials mostly) to send short text messages to give directions, mass greetings, or spread gossip among friends. Wireless communications has greatly enriched our lives. However, I am here to tell you that you NEED to turn your cell phone off for one hour every day. Here are my reasons why:

1. Cell phones create stress. Think about nobody being able to call you for a whole hour. Will you lose business? They can still leave a message. Ask yourself this question: If you lived a slower life style with less stress would you be less financially secure? Except in extreme cases I find the opposite to be true. Wealthy individuals are calmer and have less stress than those with fewer assets.

2. Work smarter not harder. Leverage is far more productive than attempting to conquer the world yourself. Turning off your cell phone will teach you the art of leveraging your time to work for you. By turning off your cell phone, you actually create more demand for yourself because there is less supply for others to constantly tap into. Do this too much, and it’s a bad policy, but just enough leverage can increase your productivity.

3. Help eliminate procrastination. The constant ring of the telephone makes it easy for us to avoid the tasks we need to take care of. Turning it off will help you regroup, organize, and execute your plans with ease.

4. The last and most important reason to turn off your cell phone is that it will allow you to THINK. Thinking is the most important task we can do and nothing is more powerful then our creative thoughts. Take this time to plan your next moves, formulate your strategies, and reflect on the past actions.

Become a Positive Person in 21 days

Making changes in your life involves reshaping the way you think. When your thinking has changed and taken new form, situations will spontaneously change. How we react to the events in our lives form a relationship with our plans and desires creating the path for the future.

If you have a goal you would like to accomplish in the future, continually walking down the same road and reacting to your life in the same way will not get you to your destination. For example you plan on losing 30 pounds. If you continually eat the same type of food and do the same exercise routine inevitably no results will be made – despite your solidified goal of losing the weight. Therefore, one of our most powerful enemies is complacency.

Our subconscious mind is programmed to influence our actions and habits. When our subconscious is programmed in a healthy manner, our actions and reactions perform flawlessly achieving miraculous results. When our subconscious is programmed destructively bad lucks seems to naturally follow us around every corner.

Having a positive outlook on life will bring about positive results. Expect the best and get it (likewise expect the worst and get ready for the storm). Thinking positively is not an easy task. As we grow up and face difficulties in life, negative influences that tell you that you cannot do something, or are not good enough engrave themselves our subconscious mind. The following is a 21-day plan to get yourself on the road to positive thinking.

Day 1-7

Stop watching the news (there is never positive news on the news)

Write down a positive affirmation (such as I will accomplish _____) and read it aloud every morning and night

Drive a different way to work every morning (this is to remind yourself that you are making an effort to change your thinking and it is a fresh outlook on life)

Day 7-14

Continue step 1 and 2

Make an effort everyday to say something positive to the people you associate with

Day 14-21

Do not be around negative people; you should be able to recognize these individuals by now. Even if they are close friends, trust me, they will do your life no favors.

Fight Negative thoughts: If a negative or self restricting thought enters your mind immediately identify it as such and replace it with a positive one.

After 21 days, I guarantee that you will recognize a difference in your life. I will not have to tell you to repeat the steps because the new life style will become so refreshing you will not ever want to deviate from it.
