lesson 2

Create a PURPOSEFUL 2010


We enter a wonderful time for contemplation as 2009 winds down and we gear up for a fresh, New Year.

I ask you to do something simple this week.

Find a pen and paper.

Go to a place where you can sit in total silence.

Turn off all distractions (cell phones, radio, TV, internet).

Write down your answers to the following questions:

1. Who do I desire to BE in 2010? Choose 5 character traits you would like to embody more fully. Here are a few suggestions to get your mind moving: compassion, peace, understanding, courageous, passionate, loving, helpful, joyful…you get the idea.

2. How will I serve my community and country this year? Give consideration to your unique skills. Visualize yourself in your community in action. What change do you most desire to be part of? Write down everything that comes to your heart.

These two questions are plenty to get you started.

Be purposeful in planning the year ahead.

Don’t rush into 2010 simply chasing after money or trying to attain a big title. I am sure you can and will achieve that too. I beckon you to open to your HIGHER CALLING.

Infuse PURPOSE and SERVICE into your 2010 goals. If you do, you will find more satisfaction, peace and fulfillment than you have ever experienced. “The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” (Mitch Albom.)

After completing this exercise post your answers in a place that you will see every morning when you wake up and every evening when you go to bed.

Keep your intentions in front of you consistently and you will be sure to accomplish what your heart truly desires.

Carry a copy of your desires in your pocket or purse. Read them regularly. Stay FOCUSED. Don’t lose sight of who you desire to be and how you desire to serve.

Defining my purpose with you,

lesson 1

The pine caterpillar is an intresting insect.
Place a series of pine caterpillars end-to-end in a circle until the circle is closed. Each one will follow the caterpillar in front of it around the circle indefinitely. place food at the centre of the circle, and the caterpillars will continue to follow one another without touching the food, until they all die of starvation.

The pine caterpillar lacks initiative and imagination. it lacks the ability to make independent decisions and break out of the circle, even when it is danger of starvation.
We were not created like pine caterpillars. you can create your own environment- break out of the limitation created by your environment. you can break out of the crowd to fulfill your dreams,desire,purpose and the good-will of life.

You can create what you want in life

"You can create what you want in life; first you have to imagine it clearly. Imagine your ideal scene," .


How do you use your imagination to create your ideal scene?


If you want to be inspired to create your best life, I'll share with you some of the ideas I've used.


1. Write out your top ten values. Write quickly and without editing. A value is what is important to you. For example, wealth, freedom, enjoying a great relationship, and creative self-expression are values. Your values are what you want to spend your time doing. If something is not important to you, it is not a value. It's not something you'll be interested in doing. A value is anything that excites you and makes you feel more alive.


2. Check if any of your values conflict. When values conflict, they nullify each other. For example, if you value freedom and also a good job, there is an apparent conflict. Sometimes you may have to conform too much in a job to be free. You reconcile this by finding out how you can enjoy financial security and freedom. When you can find how both values can work in harmony, you'll be able to integrate them.


3. Check if your values are something you're moving toward or whether you're trying to move away from something. For example, if wealth is a value, ask if you're choosing wealth because you're avoiding poverty. If you do, you'll be focusing on avoiding poverty. By thinking of poverty, you're staying in that loop because you get more of what you focus on. Instead find ways to make wealth attractive to you: imagine the relief of bills paid, the comfort of the new house, the thrill of the new sports car, and so on. This way you'll be pulled toward wealth and you won't focus on poverty at all.


4. Now rewrite your top ten values into goals. Write the goals in either the present or the past tense. If you write them in the future tense, you're subtly pushing them away. The future will always be one step ahead of you.


5. Finally, use these goals to describe your ideal scene. How do you want the goal to look as you approach the deadline for its realization.

6. Doing this exercise should give you a lift. As you write out your ideal scene, you should feel a thrill of anticipation. If your ideal scene does not excite you, then your goals are not compelling enough because they're based on values that you don't care about. In this case, you have to revisit your values and think about what it is that you really want for yourself.


7. Now your plan is to daily activate your subconscious mind to bring these goals into your experience. You'll do this by writing out your ideal scene the first thing in the morning every morning until it shows up in your life.


Imagine your life if you chose to design it!

Living with an Attitude of Gratitude

Creating an attitude of gratitude is one of the easiest steps we can take to improve our lives. The happiness that we create for ourselves by showing our appreciation has far-reaching effects, both for ourselves and for those we come into contact with. The potential for gratitude to spread beyond those people also increases significantly – it can be highly contagious. There are so many different ways that we can express an attitude of gratitude. Here are just a few:

Say “thank you”. This is the most basic and well-known way to show appreciation to others. Saying “thank you” is a great way to express your gratitude and can be done in several different forms. You can say it in person, over the phone, in a note, or in an email. Using this when it’s least expected can have significant results in lifting someone’s spirits. For example, a quick note to your child’s teacher thanking her for her hard work and patience might give her the boost of energy that she needs right when she needs it most. You may never know what effect this has had on her, but it will have an effect.

Stop complaining about your life. Even as tough as life can be sometimes, remember that there is always someone that has things worse than you do. Constant complaining about what is wrong in your life will keep you focused on that. The opposite is true as well – focusing on what is right in your life will keep you focused on that. Focusing on the negative will bring you down while focusing on the positive will lift you up.

Focus on what you have, not what you don’t have. This is very closely related to not complaining about your life. Being grateful for what you do have keeps you in a positive place, whereas focusing on what you don’t have keeps you in a negative place. Focusing on what you do have, regardless of how little or how much that may be, is a great expression of gratitude.

Model your attitude. Modeling your attitude of gratitude is a great way to spread it to others. We’ve all heard the Golden Rule to “treat others the way you want to be treated”. Showing your appreciation to others shows them that you like to be treated this way too. An attitude of gratitude can be quite infectious!

Be satisfied with simple things and be mindful of little things. Being grateful for the little things in our lives is just as important (if not, more so) than being grateful for the big things. Our lives are filled with little things every day that we can be grateful for. What about that front row parking spot you found when you were running late? Or the beautiful weather outside? How about the store clerk that went out of her way to help you? This may take a little practice, but there are many little things throughout the day that we can be grateful for if we take the time to notice them.

Give to someone else. This is the best way to spread your gratitude of attitude. There are so many different ways to give to someone else. You could volunteer your time to help those less fortunate or give you time to children by mentoring them. The possibilities are endless but could make a huge difference in someone’s life without you evening knowing it. If they in turn give to someone else, the cycle could continue without end.

Keep a gratitude journal. Let’s just be honest here: there are some days when it is hard to find anything to be grateful for. Keeping a gratitude journal can help with that. There are preprinted journals so you can just fill in the blanks or you can make your own. The important thing is to find at least 5 things each day to be grateful for, no matter how big or small those things are. A gratitude journal can serve two purposes: it will help you stop and remember what you are grateful for or it can serve as inspiration on days when you find it difficult to find anything to be grateful for by reading over past days.

Practice random acts of kindness. This can be one of the most fun and rewarding ways to live a life of gratitude, especially when it’s done anonymously. Surprise someone with something unexpected. You may never know what it meant to them but it will likely make their day. Try putting a note in your child’s lunch or bringing treats to the office to share. Even a small gesture can mean so much to someone.

Living a life of gratitude is one of the easiest ways to live a happier life. It takes very little effort to show someone you appreciate them but will mean so much to them. There are so many ways to make gratitude a part of our life and to spread that attitude to others. Make today the day you start living a life of gratitude and spread your light to the rest of the world!

A mentor

As children, they were our parents, teachers, older siblings or coaches: Wiser, more experienced people who guided us through such mysteries as long division, football and the science of baking cakes.

As grown ups, we have moved on to more difficult tasks. In many cases, we’ve become the teachers. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still benefit from the knowledge and help of someone more experienced than us. This is especially true for the start-up small-business owner making his or her way, often alone, through the challenges of a new venture.

A mentor is what is needed.

Fortunately, they’re not so hard to find. I chose my mentor from a list of many, picking someone whose experience most matched my needs.

Teens: Life vs Electronics

Teens today have so much more to distract them besides their homework, the opposite sex, friends, family members, and extracurricular activities.
Besides learning how to drive, teenagers are occupied with playing with an assortment of electronic games including cell phones, camera phones, personal computers, MP3 players, DVD players, ipods, xboxs, digital cameras, the list goes on.

Perhaps all of this electronic gadgetry has you concerned and you are wondering just how you can extract your teen and involve them in an outside activity where they can expand their minds and refresh their bodies.
Are you out of ideas? Let’s look at some options that may appeal to them and remove the worry from you.
Work on the Car So, you think that a car isn’t a kid magnet as much as when you first learned how to drive? Think again.
Today, kids are pimping their rides and expressing themselves through their cars. Custom paint, decals, blacked out windows. On the inside, it can be totally surreal: rear view mirrors wrapped with a studded belts, frilly seat cover trim, pushpin art attached to the headliner, decals everywhere, etc. Let them pimp your Camry or Explorer…that’ll keep them off the computer…and get you noticed too!

Volunteer Help your teen organize a group of his or her friends to clean up the neighborhood, paint an elderly neighbor’s house, teach younger kids how to ride bikes, or visit people at the local nursing home.
You remember when you were a teen and you heard the comments from your parent’s generation about kids not wanting to do anything or being “no good,” right? With a little direction, young people can do just about anything and are more than willing to help out if you believe in them. Rewards are nice too…be prepared to throw a pizza party after their time of service is over for the day.
Get a Job Kids who hold a job while going to school learn how to handle their money and budget their time. Limit work hours to fewer than 20 per week to ensure that their grades are not adversely affected. If your student is involved in extracurricular activities too, make sure that this time is included with the hours that they work.
Maintaining good grades is essential, no job or outside activity is worth it if it takes away from their schooling.
In all cases, show your teen that you believe in him or her. As you know, parenting is much more than providing for their needs…you want to guide your child from youth toward adulthood by showing them that there is much more to life than all things electronic. So, gently disconnect your teen and get them involved with other pursuits.
In teaching them to be in pursuit of good thing make it known to them that in pursuit of service is the best and not money.
And remember you can't do it alone talk to GOD abotu this and you will get to see you boy/Girl at the TOP.

NB:lease leave a comment. Thanks

Money and Teens / Banking for Students

A bank serves as a financial institution, providing complex financial services, right from the maintenance of deposits to extending credit.

A little guidance and initiative help teens to improve their personal credit record. Banking offers the convenience of not having to handle large sums of money, thereby minimizing the chances of theft. Moreover, most of the financial institutions enable you to earn interest on your money deposited in a particular account.
There are a number of bank accounts and financial plans that are specifically designed for teens. Today, teens spend a lot on junks, wasted money if judiciously saved, could save them from debt in the future too.

Parents are advice to teach their children a saving habit and not a spend it all attitude.
Create a small bank in your kids room or be the bank, let him or her keep record of spendings.
Remeber before opening an account for ur kid in any financial institute seek the advice of a professional.

NB: Please leave a comment. Thanks

Homework

Homework has been a perennial headache for kids and teens as well as for their parents. Following are some tips to make homework time more effective and enjoyable for all concerned.

1. No TV. As a general rule, kids should not watch TV while doing their homework. It might be a good policy to have the television turned off any time it's time to do homework, depending, of course, where the television is located.

2. The radio is OK. Contrary to what many so-called experts recommend, actual studies have shown that having the radio on a child's or teenager's favorite music station can actually help him learn better.

3. Set fixed hours. There should be a set schedule for homework. This way, the youngsters can arrange their schedules and make sure they get their homework done every day. It's also a great way for answering those comments. "I'll do it later, after I've finished whatever," which is a standard line among kids when asked if they've finished their homework. You may want to set a standard time for supper and family discussions, followed by study time. If the student doesn't have other commitments and gets home reasonably early from school, some homework can be done before supper.

4. Set telephone rules. As a general rule, kids should not be allowed to use the telephone during those hours when they are supposed to be doing their homework. However, sometimes it becomes necessary to use the phone, say, for confirming homework and the like. In these cases, the parents should set a fixed number of minutes for discussing school-related matters so the kids can get back to their homework right away.

5. Create a good study area. First, designate an area where it would be ideal for your children to do their homework, usually in their rooms. Set up this area to make it conducive for studying by putting proper lighting, an area for studying supplies such as pencils, pens, paper, books, and other essentials and make the area free from distractions. It might be a good idea to set up a bulletin board there as well.
