Just a small note to add to the last post, I was speaking of being a creator of your day. You own your day and can make of it whatever you want to. I forgot to address this topic to those of you who are men, and are married. This applies to you part of the time. You can become a creator of your day…..with the permission of your wife! My wife may not find it so humorous but I have a point to make with this also. There is a reason for this and for marriage.

Marriage between husband and wife is divine. When a man and a woman are bound in the bonds of marriage, you become part of something sacred, special and above this world. It is more than just a physical relationship, it is a covenant between the couple and God. In this lies a sacred responsibility to confide in one another and to act as a unit. Trust and complete fidelity are essential to the success in this relationship. If you are successful in family life, you will be successful in business because it takes effort, commitment, passion, and time. If you are as devoted to family as you are to your professional career, there is nothing that will get in your way.

Before I became involved in the Personal Development industry I was associated with a very negative industry. For any of you who have been involved in the glass industry, you know it is very tense and not so positive. It seemed like everyone was a victim of something.

I used to drive a van. I used to make a wage. I had a boss that told me what to do every day and when to do it. I wore the same green shirt everyday with my brand on it, which was the name of the company I worked for. I was broke, living paycheck to paycheck, and going no where fast.

Are you a victim or a creator?

I personally know people in business that have failed. Not just in business but in other things in life. Whether it be in business or other areas, they continue to whine and bicker about what happened to them. They are a victim. When I say victim, things just keep happening to them and they can’t figure out why it continues. If you are a victim, instead of taking responsibility for your own results in life, you point the finger outward to find someone or something to blame for your failures. My advice is when something goes wrong, look in a mirror.

You know what, it doesn’t matter what your past is or what level of success you have had. The only thing that matters is what life is all about after the brand you wore. What will life be like for you in the future. Instead of being a victim, become a creator. Today is yours! You own today. You owned yesterday and still do. You own tomorrow and every day after that and what you make of it is up to you. Your Boss has no control over something that you own. So make a decision today to become a creator of your own future and take ownership in that. We all possess this Godlike attribute. It is a divine gift given to be used. Take it and create tomorrow for you and your life will never be the same.

Have you ever met someone who you know makes a lot of money? What is their countenance usually like? When they walk into a room they usually light up the place with their energy level don’t they? When they speak they are bold and confident and are usually happy. Instead of dreading the next day they look forward to it with new excitement. People are uplifted by their presence.

Now, compare that to someone who is poor and knows he is poor and can’t concentrate on anything else but being poor. They usually droop their head a little, have a very low energy about them, and lack a little in the self confidence arena. You can usually tell the difference between someone who is successful and someone who is not. Now, we all know that money cannot make you happy, but it sure is a useful tool in helping out with your current circumstance.

This idea applies directly to the BE-DO-HAVE principle. In order to have the things you want in life, you must first be the person you want to be. But how do you duplicate the level of energy a successful person operates with? I think that in order to have the level of energy I speak of, you must get crystal clear on your goals to the point you feel they are already here. Get so clear on them that you can almost smell the leather in your new car, or read the numbers on your bank statement. Then will you be able to duplicate the level of energy you will need to completely fulfill the “Be” part of this principle. Operate as though you are already successful and success will come easier to you.

Remember: Success = high energy!
