Greatest Fear

For most, being alone is their greatest fear (other than death itself). Because of this fear, we find ourselves in many unnecessary compromising situations.

Be Wealthy

Rich people can lose their wealth once, never to return. Wealthy people can lose their riches over and over again.
Don't strive to be rich. Strive to be wealthy. Because there is a science to staying rich.

Actions

Your thoughts and actions have two outcomes, one being constructive, and the other destructive. If you want to improve your life, simply reduce destructive behavior and increase the constructive behavior

Nutrition

A man and woman should always nurture their three selves.
The three selves are:
Your Spiritual Self
Your Mental Self
Your Physical Self
Like your physical self, all three selves need food everyday.

Potential

Like the Matrix, there is an artificial system layered on top of us. Because of this, you are blinded by this cover to your potentiality.

Heaven

Everyday, get a slice of Heaven. Even if it is as small as your favorite candy, make sure you get a slice of Heaven each and everyday.

Focus on the Right Thing

If you think of something with focus, then bring that focus into reality, that is your reward. But, in order for that reward to be a success, the focus has to be positive in nature.

Please Yourself

Many kind people try to please their fiends and family. My question is how do you please the un-please-able? You better conserve that wasted energy on pleasing yourself.

A Map

A map is no good, unless you know where you are on the map. The same with life. How do you know where you are going unless you know where you are? Self awareness is the key on the epic road to improvement.

Time Is Not On Our Side As Adults

Do you remember when you were a child, and a summer vacation from school seemed like, forever? Remember when you were young, it felt like your next birthday was a lifetime away? It took so long that you were excited to make 8 and a half.

Have you ever thought about why when you were a child time stood still, and now that you are older, time seems to fly by? There are a few reasons for this phenomenon, but I want to point out one major factor today. A child measures life by the moments, whereas an adult measures life by days. Not just any day, but special days.
Everyday is a good day for a child; there is no better day than today. For an adult, it is much different. We suffer openly and secretly from the "I Can't Wait Syndrome." Let me give but a small sample of this horrible affliction:

I can't wait until I get paid
I can't wait until my vacation starts
I can't wait until I get my bonus check
I can't wait until Friday gets here
I can't wait until my birthday
I can't wait until I get out of this relationship
I can't wait until I get into a relationship
I cant wait until I am rich
I cant wait until Christmas, and so on
We are so busy waiting on a special day to arrive, that we miss out on the blessing of the special day that is right in front of us. Most adults look forward to between 20 and 75 days out of the year. Well, if it is 365 days in a year, that means we are bypassing about 300 (or more) days a year to get to the days that we are looking forward to.

I would not have such a problem with the "I Can't Wait Syndrome", if when the day came you were waiting for, you were actually satisfied. This is the furthest thing from the truth. When the special day arises, you are already waiting on another day to happen.This is madness (to say the least).

Do you want time to slow down as you age? It is simple, pay attention and respect the God given time you are blessed with. Be aware of the time that you are in right now. Make this moment special.

I do not know about you, but God never told me how long I have to live. So, I better get busy living because dying is coming one day, sooner or later.
