Take Action!

How many of you set some “resolutions” for the New Year? Let us call them what they are “goals”, resolutions for many is a way to say you are going to do something but if the action is not given to it then it is forgotten with little or no consequences to ourselves because after all it is just a resolution, right? You see if you call it a goal it is meaningful, I am not saying resolutions are not meaningful just the thought behind it is different. It is a subtle difference but for many it is the difference between success and failure. Last Christmas I made the decision to create the lifestyle we wanted, to start a home business and become an active & involved parent and to travel with our children. Wow, I look back at the year and we have accomplished just about everything we set as our goals for 2007!

So what do you want? What do you want to change compared to what you did in 2007. Really get clear on this, what do you want, are you willing to trade your life for it? Also, what has held you back from making this change in the past? Be clear on what limiting belief that you hold that has held you back from making these changes. Most of us want to change our work, fitness, health, and relationships but we do not take ACTION. We are paralyzed by FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real). We have to recognize that and face the fears we hold in our hearts that hold us back from what we want.

How do you make these resolutions into goals? One, write it down this is really important as it will set the sub-conscious mind into motion. Two, read it every day to remind yourself what it is you set your intention on doing, and then take ACTION. This is vitally important; many of us know of the Law of Attraction and we use it in our daily lives. However, it only works if you also integrate ACTION in the steps of using the LOA. What does action really mean? If you break it down it is really about making a decision and then following through with that decision. Make a goal or goals for 2008, write it down and read it every day as many times as you can, and then take ACTION. Make the decisions you need to make to move you towards what it is you want.

Here are 4 great steps to making decisions. Many people have trouble with this part of applying the LOA into their lives. Follow these steps and you will see things changing in the direction of your dreams so fast you will be amazed.

1. DO I WANT TO be, do or have this?
2. Will being, doing or having this Move me in the direction of my goal?
3. Is being, doing or having this In Harmony with God’s Laws or the Laws of the Universe?
4. Will being, doing or having this violate the Rights of Others?

If the answer to the first 3 questions is YES, and the answer to the last question NO, then take action and move forward.

I am so grateful for what I have been able to accomplish this year. With that I am so grateful for what I am already creating in 2008 because I can build on our success and also what I have learned in that process over the past year and I know achieving what I am setting as my goals for 2008. What about you? I will ask the question again, what do you want? Really what do you want in your life that for some reason or circumstance you have not accomplished yet. What is holding you back? Your success is assured if get clear on what you want and take ACTION!

Stop Going Through The Motions. Experience Life Now.

Are you choosing to experience your life or are you going through the motions?

As I write this, I'm in Wichita, Kansas. I'm on a road trip of sorts that started 2 weeks and one day ago. I loaded my family into our van and we set out from our home just outside Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

So far, we've stayed over in Fargo, North Dakota; Wichita, Kansas; Galveston, Texas; Montego Bay, Jamaica; Grand Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; Weslaco, Texas; Austin, Texas and now back again in Wichita.

Our van has made it to all but 3 of the locations, while we relied on a cruise ship to get us to the remaining ones.

The trip has reminded me of what a wondrous planet we live on. And it's served to cement my resolve that the point of living is to experience the world and enjoy the experience.

I was able to go on this trip because I have my own home based business. It gives me the freedom to choose when, where and how I want to experience my life and I don't require permission from any one else to do so.

But it wasn't always this way. For too many years, I lived my life by going through the motions and putting off experiences until some undetermined point down the road.

Finally, I couldn't take it any more, and I made the decision to start living my life now. No more going through the motions for me.

That's the trip I'm on and the ride has been exhilarating. You should try it some time.

Be-Do-Have

Many of us have heard about that saying Be-Do-Have, wow is it really that simple? I wanted to share a story of how we started this idea of Life is a Playground and our home business Clark's Playground. Just about a year ago we were like so many working, day to day raising a family and making the best of what we thought we had. The keyword is "thought", however we started to question what we had. Is it really just about going to work and coming home, do-this, do-that? Is there really no control of what we want for our lifestyle and where we want to go? Is it really about going to work and hoping for 2 weeks off and getting away somewhere?

We decided no, we have a responsibility to live the life we want and also to demonstrate to our children, to live the life they want. Success can be so many different things to people. How we define our success is by living the fullest most prosperous life we can. It is our obligation to be prosperous in every aspect of our lives.

Clark's Playground was born; we had to find a way to do it. We had made the decision that our life is about playing and prosperity. We started a home business and went at it. Then we asked ourselves, how can we play in 2007? What have we wanted to do that we always said we would do, but never took action. So we decided who we wanted to "BE".

Then started to "DO" it, we went and spent the winter in Baja, we went to Australia, and we then came home loaded up and went to Northern Canada. We always said we wanted to be traveling and sharing experiences with our children and be able to make a multiple 6 figure income while doing it.

So my point is Be-Do-Have. We decided to "BE" whom we always dreamed of. Then we had to "DO" the action to make that a reality. Now we "HAVE" the life we have always wanted and share and mentor others to do the same.

I am grateful for it, I celebrate it. Every day is a gift, open it up and enjoy it because tomorrow you get another one.

Life is a playground, how do you choose to play?
