I invest my time and money on things of substance. Periodically, I do an inventory of my time to ensure that I am devoted to what is dearest to me. Instead of waiting for some free time, I make time for what I value.
My life is focused on eternal value, not short-lived pleasures. Material possessions are fleeting; therefore I focus on my relationships. I value people over possessions because people are irreplaceable.
Every day, I spend time with my Creator giving thanks for the blessings I have and seeking direction for the future. I ask for renewed strength and wisdom each morning so I can live my life the way I was meant to live.
My family comes first in my heart, above everything else. The love I have for my spouse and children is the driving force behind everything I do. My goal is to make them feel valued by the way I care for them.
Although I am thankful for my career, I realize that my career is simply a tool for me to provide for my loved ones. I work hard, but my heart always belongs to my family. Time with my loved ones is far more precious than work.
I take care of my body, mind, and soul so I can have the necessary energy to take care of my treasures. I pamper myself with relaxation activities like spas, massages, and long quiet walks in order to rejuvenate my spirit. When I indulge in activities that bring me pleasure, I am better able to serve others.
Today, I keep my priorities in order by devoting time to the people in my life. I reflect on ways to ensure that my priorities remain in order permanently.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How much time do I spend with my family compared to my job?
2. What changes do I need to make to my schedule to better reflect my priorities?
3. Do I need to invest more time for self-care?

Affirmation: My life is worth living.
When I am tired and overwhelmed I take a break to rejuvenate my mind. I take care of myself because I am valuable and my life is worth living. I am mature enough to take each day in stride because what makes life exciting is the spontaneity of every day.
On days when I feel like giving up, I remind myself of past accomplishments to boost my morale. I think of past birthdays and celebrations where I felt loved and happy. I use visual imagery to transport myself to a favorite vacation spot in order to temporarily escape the pressures of the moment.
If I ever feel lonely or disconnected, I remind myself that I am not alone. There are loved ones a call or an email away just waiting to hear from me. My friends and family need me to be there for them to celebrate their victories and help them through their trials.
My life has more value than words could ever describe. There are people who have been touched and changed by something I have done that I will never know about. My life was given to me for a purpose and I am determined to live it out even when it would be easier to waste away.
Giving up is not an option for me. The truth that speaks of my worth to my heart is louder than any lie that tries to tell me otherwise.
Today, I am making my life count by using it to serve others because service is the antidote to selfishness.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Why must I not give up?
2. What do I think of when I feel discouraged?

Whew! With such an arsenal, it's no wonder that fear doesn't have a chance!
When I'm determined to achieve a goal, I use my sure-fire success strategies from the very start. I take the time to make a detailed plan of every task required to reach this goal and I ensure each task is achievable.

If I start hearing the dreaded "what ifs," I quickly banish them from my mind with positive self-talk and affirmations, and jump right in to seeking a solution for the challenge.
Rather than give in to my fears by sitting around worrying, I forge confidently ahead and try to get back on track toward my goal.
I prevent plenty of fears with my daily routine of prayer and meditation. I envision my success in every detail and use my meditation to rejuvenate my confidence and spur me on to positive daily action.

Affirmation: Relationships are my greatest treasures.
Relationships are far more important than riches. There is nothing in life more valuable than relationships. Possessions are temporary and passing, but relationships make life-changing marks on our hearts.
I choose to spend my time and money on the people I care about. When I receive an invitation to connect, I make the necessary arrangements to meet with my loved ones. Rearranging my schedule to make time for my loved ones is a sacrifice I am glad to make.
Daily, I seek to make long-lasting memories with my family. When we are together, I ignore small annoyances and focus on joy. My camera is always within arms reach so that I can capture memories to remember for generations to come. I forgive my loved ones quickly of any offenses because life is too short to waste on frivolous disputes.
Relationships are my safe haven from life's torrential rains. Good friends can turn even the toughest situation into an endurable adventure. My friends and I help each other laugh through the storms and relax during the calm because that is what we do.
It takes a lot of effort to maintain relationships; therefore I work hard to be a good friend. I have a tight grasp around those I love because life is full of distractions that can pull me apart from my friends, unless I make the conscious decision to hold on to them.
Today, I choose to make time to invest in my relationships. I stay in touch with old friends because a well-tended friendship has the ability to outlast all other things in life.

Affirmation: I am a source of truth and honesty.
I make it a point to be honest with myself and in my dealings with others. It's also a selling point, too, because others know that they can count on me for truth. My honesty earns me one of the most valuable things of all - the trust of my friends, loved ones, and associates.
I believe the quote from Sir Walter Scott, "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive," is so true. Things get so complicated whenever we lie and it only makes matters worse when the lie is uncovered. Why would I want to be involved in negative situations like that?
In being truthful, I stay in a positive zone with more positive outcomes.
When I make a mistake, I admit it, I do what I can to make amends, and then move on. Making mistakes is inevitable. I know that everyone, including me, makes mistakes. People respect me more because I honestly admit my mistakes and then do my best to resolve the issue in the most positive way.
My honesty in my personal relationships brings me closer to my loved ones. I speak the truth about my feelings even if the situation is a difficult one. Because I am honest, I am able to work through relationship challenges and discover viable solutions that make everyone happy.
Business associates know they can trust me to bring honesty into the workplace. As a result, I form long-standing business relationships with my clients and co-workers.
Today, I strive to be perfectly honest in all encounters with others, knowing that it can only strengthen our relationship.

Affirmation: Each day I learn something new I grow wiser.
Education is the foundation for improvement; therefore, I seek to educate myself daily. I am open to the lessons of life because there is no better teacher than experience. I position myself in places where I have the opportunity to experience new things in order to develop my mind.
I delight in learning so I can become wiser and teach others. Gaining new knowledge is a pleasure for me. As I pursue knowledge, wisdom finds me. Wisdom is more valuable than material riches.
My capacity for understanding is greater than I can imagine. I am able to understand concepts today that were not clear in the past because my mind is expanding. Each day, I absorb new information like a sponge. I read books to gain knowledge in topics that are unfamiliar to me.
I allow myself to learn from others because there is something to be learned from every human being. I listen when others speak to me in order to learn from their experiences.
My daily schedule has time open for me to deviate from the routine and pursue areas of interest that may come up spontaneously.
When the pace of my life is calm and peaceful, I am able to notice the little lessons around me. I facilitate a learning environment for myself by being open to the ideas and opinions of others and valuing them as I do my own. Today, I set out to learn something new from those around me.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How can I open myself up to accepting new knowledge?
2. When I am interested in a topic, do I allow myself time to research it?
3. What have I learned today?

Affirmation: I transform my actions by transforming my mind.
I have authority over my thoughts. I carefully choose which thoughts can stay and which must leave my mind. Constantly, I filter my mind because my thoughts soon become my actions.
I seek the positive qualities in other people because I believe good can be found in everyone. When I meet someone new, I am able to find common interests and I confidently speak to others free from fear.
When I remove fear from my mind, I am free to take risks. Freedom of the mind allows me to experience life in a new dimension. When fear tries to paralyze me, I pause. This allows me to feel the calming effects of inner peace. Thoughts of past successes flow through my mind like a river, which reminds me of the potential stored within me.
If I find myself indulging in self-pity, I immediately reject those thoughts and launch into action. Counting my blessings is the best way to focus on what is good in my life.
Instead of complaining about the tasks I must complete, I choose to be thankful for my ability to complete them. When I change my point of view and look at my responsibilities as blessings, I enjoy myself.
Today, I chose to think positively in order to act productively. I understand that my thoughts have the power to help move me forward. In everything I do, I seek to think positively because a healthy mind leads to a satisfying life.

1. How can I change my point of view?

When I experience a personal victory, I take note of successful strategies that I can use in the future. If I ever encounter failure, I reflect on my actions in order to perform better the next time.
I open myself up to new challenges with confidence allowing life to be my classroom. Each day I embrace life with the expectation that I will receive knowledge from the most unexpected places.
I dare to venture into every day, even when I am surrounded by uncertainty, because being a risk taker pays off with new knowledge that I never would have acquired otherwise.
Today, I choose to walk forth into my destiny with wisdom and direction. I embrace the opportunity to learn from the many sources of knowledge that engulf me. My knowledge increases as I fearlessly accept the lessons I am being taught by life itself.

You Can't Afford These Blogging Mistakes
When first creating an online empire it's easy to focus on the wrong things.
And guess what? Ironically, focussing on making money is the WRONG thing to do. Your focus should be on providing useful content. After a while the money will follow.
As you may be aware I create blogs that are focussed on particular hot selling internet products. I would not suggest this approach as a way to become wealthy either. I do it purely as an extra service to my readers so they get a glimpse of what is inside these products. They may even decide to promote the products themselves.
When blogging it is important to be clear on what you're trying to achieve.
Read this latest post by Kenneth Koh to see what I'm talking about.
Have a great day.

How To Advertise an Online Store
Making money with an online store is not easy. You are competing with others who have exactly the same store. The only only people making money from your online store are the people who sold you the store.
Having said that I have a couple of online stores.
One I expect I'll do quite well with because I intend to customize the heck out of it and make it purely my own. I've already done a lot of work on it and intend to do more. You can see what I've done so far by clicking here. As you can see there's a lot of rubbish in there that I can't imagine anyone would download even though it's free! On the other hand I am adding my own ebooks that can't easily be gotten anywhere else. They will be my point of difference.
I also have another store which has all the clickbank products. Click here to have a look. Even though I love many of the clickbank products and the fact they all offer a 60 day money back guarantee I seriously doubt that anyone is going to browse the store looking for something to buy. I bought it for it's contextual advertising that looks like google ads, but for which I'll earn a commission if the product is purchased.
Unfortunately, people have paid money for a similar store expecting to make a lot of money but I think they will end up very disappointed.
Click here for some great advice on how to get some exposure for your online store.

Although you'll be selling digital photographs online, you absolutely don't have to build a website - unlike other online marketers.
10. Stock photo sites do the marketing for you
You don't have to do any marketing, either, because stock photo sites do it all for you. All you have to do is take high-quality photographs. (More on that in "Make Money with Digital Photography."
11. No fees to sell online
You don't have to pay any fees to sell in stock photo sites. It's completely free to become a member and start selling your photos.
12. No need to set up a shopping cart
Again, stock photo sites take care of processing payments for your photographs. You will have to be able to accept payments from stock photo sites. A PayPal account should be enough.
13. Enhanced creativity
This business forces you to become more creative, such as in the way you choose the subjects of your pictures, to how you edit them.
14. Sharper photography skills
You have to improve your photography skills if you want to succeed in this business. The longer you keep at it, the better you'll become.
15. Build your portfolio and expertise
Selling digital photos online helps build your reputation as a photographer. You can easily build a portfolio based on your best-selling pictures.
16. Profit from passion
You can easily combine this home business with a hobby or special interest you have. Because of the wide range of subjects that are in high demand, you don't have to take pictures that you don't care about.
17. Steady demand
As more and more stock photos are sold and bought, the demand for fresh photos increases. Marketers always want unique pictures for their materials, which further increases the demand for more digital photos.
18. It's profitable
Because of low overhead costs, it's easy to earn a full-time income from selling digital photography. University students are doing it, stay at home Moms are doing it, and you can do it too.
However, you have to know some insider secrets. Which types of photographs sell easily online? How do you avoid legal problems? How do you work with stock photo sites? How can you sell more photos?
You'll find the answers in "Make Money with Digital Photography." It's completely free, so go and grab it now.

Can Self Help Be Dangerous?
Apparently so according to a segment on Sunrise this morning. However the self help they were referring to were 2-3 day seminars where participants were sleep deprived and forced to reveal deeply personal experiences in front of a huge audience.
I don't see that you need to be psychological expert (which I'm not) to see that this type of "self help" could be dangerous. After all sleep deprivation has been used as a form of torture long before it became a tool used by self help gurus.
Many years ago I particpated in one of these seminars called The Forum. I don't recall much about it, but I do remember being hassled by "volunteers" to become a volunteer myself. Apparently The Forum was the only true path to self fulfillment and enlightenment... And it could be all yours if you worked ridiculously long hours for zero recompense. Not that there's anything wrong with volunteering your time but I think you're better off volunteering your time to help people who, for whatever reason, can't help themselves. The Forum leaders definitely were not in that category!
One thing I do remember learning is that we shouldn't let fear stop us doing what we want to do. I wanted to go parachuting but was too scared.... So I went parachuting. Now that I'm much older and wiser (well defintely older) I'm starting to think I may have misinterpreted the real significance of moving beyond fear....
So, was this self help seminar a waste of time for me? I don't think so. At least it got me to go parachuting!
Hmmm, self help can indeed be dangerous!

Overhaul of Weight Loss Industry In Australia
I heard on the news this morning that weight loss programs will have to give details of how successful participants are in keeping off the weight two years after their initial participation.
Sounds good to me! Afterall, judging by all the testimonials you read on weight loss websites there are a lot of programs that work well in the short term.
However, long term success eludes many of us. Kilos that we worked so hard to lose simply creep back on and before we know it we are in a battle that we have very little chance of winning.
To add insult to injury this battle of continually losing and putting on weight is more dangerous to our health than being overweight in the first place. (so I remember reading somewhere)
For any chance of success in maintaining weight loss, weight loss programs must include working on your mind as well as your body!

Nomophobia? Just stress and anxiety in my humble opinion.
Who has ever heard of nomophobia (the fear of being deprived of a mobile phone ie no mobile phone phobia)? I hadn't until I was listening to the radio while picking the kids up from school last night
And I must say I'm not surprised that such a phobia exists. Most of us are used to being able to contact our loved ones 24/7 no matter where they are or what they are doing.
If they fail to answer our call it's easy to get ourselves worked up into a frenzy of stress and anxiety wondering if an ambo will have the decency to search their contact lists for "mum" while resucsitating our precious offspring at the site of the worst accident in living memory.
Then total relief... They phone - they are OK (which is good because now you can kill them yourself). They didn't answer because they knew it was you and couldn't be bothered talking.
Oh, but they'll talk now. They've spent their bus money and need you to pick them up..... But not before you start explaining (loudly), in gruesome detail, the nightmare they put you through. Don't they understand how much you love them for heavens sake?
You begin to weigh up the pros and cons of grounding them. You decide against it as it's usually more of a punishment for you than them! Unfortunately, the scene is set for similar altercations in the future.
Whatever happened to the days when kids just went off for the day and came home only when they were hungry or it got dark? But don't let me start on that just yet! That's another issue.
The point is that mobile phones are another convenient way for stress and anxiety to manifest themselves. And they will manifest in some way or another unless you learn to tame them.

Woe is Me
When times are tough, as with the current economic recession, it is always easy to give in to depression and constantly moan about the woes of life. There are just too many worries to constantly think about: bills to pay, family to care for, and so on. The problems never end. The fact is, they never do! As you make your journey through life, you will always encounter barriers and hurdles. These are trials meant to test your strength and improve your will. Rather than simply give up and cry your frustrations out, you may want to look around you and see that no one is exempt from problems.
Self pity may get you sympathy at first, but if this is a repetitive behavior, don’t be surprised if you lose friends along the way. When you’ve become the black hole for energy, people will avoid you like a plague. No one wants to be surrounded with sadness, and no one can take a whiner for too long a period. You have yet to meet the person who never struggles with frustration. This comes with the territory of being human. It is not wrong to be frustrated, but it is how we handle our frustration that counts.
One of the most effective ways to change how you react to negativity is to change how you see it and what you do about it. Self pity is a shortcut to the path of destruction. When you give in to depression, you are basically saying that you don’t have it in you to solve the problem. In fact, you are just aggravating the situation. You yell, curse, and cry, yet the problem still remains unsolved.
On the other hand, a more productive solution would be to view frustration is as a chance for improving your abilities to solve the problem. If you get frustrated, try to have an outlet. Go talk to a friend, visit a specialist, or pound that hammer away in your garage. You need to let it out and find a way to express your explosive emotions rather than keep it locked inside. If this is your constant practice, expect the dam to break sooner or later. Instead, ask yourself what the possible solutions are. The thing about self-pity is that if you can't get others to feel sorry for you, you can always just feel sorry for yourself.
Pity parties are always a party of one because no one wants to be on the guest list. Just know that when you catch yourself in this state, you tend to lose perspective. You lose sight of the big picture and will be unable to spot the solution that may just be right under your nose. When you are too caught up in your problems, you’ll be too busy to even notice the faintest flicker of hope.
You must find ways to bounce back. Be the victor, not the victim. Life is a marathon, and your goal should be not to win it all the time. Instead, you need to focus on your running and learning not to quit. Instead of making excuses on your failure, you must learn to get back up and let your creative juices flow so that you can achieve what you want most. Have a worthwhile goal, one that deserves a spot in your loved ones’ minds. If your life were a book, let it fall under the inspirational category.

#iamblessed Trending Topic on Twitter
IAmBlessed is currently a trending topic on twitter. I'm not sure why , but to tell you the truth, I don't really care. What I do care about is the fact that a lot of people realize the power of gratitude!
If you read the IAmBlessed posts on twitter you'll find that many mention relatively minor, seemingly unimportant things. This may tempt you to underestimate how powerful finding things to be grateful for actually is.
Take a single mum struggling to find money to pay the rent. And yet she always manages to pay the rent on time..... What mindset can she adopt to put her in a position of greater power?
Is loosing sleep because she is constantly worrying about where her rent money will come from going to help? Or is it better that she be confident in her ability to generate money when needed and just "know" that whatever happens she'll cope.
She can either fill her thoughts with fear, worry and anxiety about not having a place to live next month or she can be grateful (in advance) to have money to pay the rent. Gratitude will free her mind of fear, worry and anxiety.
As those of us who believe in the Law of Attraction know, the universe abhors a vaccuum. If her mind is not filled with fear, worry and anxiety the universe will conspire to fill it with something else.
What would that something else be?
Let's keep #iamblessed trending!

Feel Energetic in Any Situation
Staying upbeat and positive, despite problems, is difficult to do. What tends to happen in difficult situations is that our focus shifts to the negative eventually making us angry. Anger dissipates our energy depleting our mental and physical resources and we are left sulking and moping about. Not a very productive state for problem solving to say the least.
The good news is that each and every one of us has a place of tranquility and peace deep inside us. And this place can be accessed even when we are faced with the most difficult of circumstances. When we are in this place we feel energetic. This is where we need to be when problem solving, it’s a powerful position.
When we feel energetic any difficulties can be quickly dealt with. Then we dust ourselves down, get back up and move on ready to face more of whatever life wants to throw at us. In the meantime we are growing and developing as a person.
That’s all very well, but how do you get to this state?
One way is to exercise. Regular exercise is a way to safely release frustrations and anger. Exercise increases serotonin and endorphin levels giving you a natural high!
Another strategy is to meditate. Meditating for at least 20 minutes a day has enormous benefits for your mental health.
Also, maintaining good relationships with your family and friends ensures you are loved and supported through difficult situations. Often times being able to talk about difficult issue will dissipate the negative energy that will pull you down.
Ensuring you get enough rest is crucial. Being sleep deprived not only makes you feel physically awful but makes any situation seem worse than it actually is.
Coping with problems is a learned skill that you will quickly master when you follow these simple tips. Regular exercise, meditation, good relationships and plenty of rest give your mind the fuel it needs to feel energetic to operate efficiently, effectively and, most importantly, happily.

Making Friends and Keeping Them
Making friends doesn’t mean we have to do put all our efforts into doing absolutely anything to win their friendship. Truth is there are just some people we will never get along with and trying to make friends with them is just a waste of time. People we befriend tend to have similar views on life or share similar interests or hobbies to us.
To make friends it also helps if we are they type of person people like to be friends with. Positive, energetic people will always have more friends than negative, lazy people. Let’s face it what type of person would you prefer to spend your time with?
Most of us tend to avoid pessimists (or should) because they will forever try to smash your dreams and come up with reasons why you will fail. Do not be one of them.
A lot of pessimists tend to operate under the guise of being realists! Are you doing that? Do you tend to point out all the reasons why someone is more likely to fail instead of encouraging them to succeed?
Exude a positive aura and you will never lack for friends. Communicate your inner glow and be willing to share your “secret” with others. When you help make others feel good about themselves you have just made the world a better place!
If you are forcing yourself to be positive and feel you are being insincere it simply means you have to work more on yourself. Start using affirmations, read inspirational books – whatever it takes to make your realize you can have it all!
Developing great friendships is simply a matter of outlook. Each and every one of us is unique and special . You have talents and traits your friends don’t have and they have talents and traits you don’t have. This makes life colorful and interesting.
It is through being positive that we can truly know what our strengths are and further enhance them so that we can help others in ways that they can’t do for themselves. If everyone was living their best life the ties between all human beings would become much stronger!
