" KNOW WHAT IN THE HELL YOU WANT " BY GO BLANSON

" Dream no small Dreams for they have no Power to move the Hearts of men " - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Hello Tribe,I just love this week's Article Title ! The title is important, because before we can get what we want in life, " WE MUST FIRST KNOW WHAT IN THE HELL WE REALLY WANT!" Which brings us back to the Wheel of Life or our life areas. It's not so important as to how many areas of life that you select( whether you choose to use 4,6,8, or 12 ), the most important thing is that you decide what you want[ Until you choose,you will always Lose ]! With that said,get a notebook, pencil or pen and take 2 - 3 hours and steal away to a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.After you have quieted your mind, write down all the roles you would like to " BE " in life : If you feel like you want to " BE " a Rapper, a Lawyer, or a Doctor, write them down . Next list all of the things you would like to " DO " in life : If you want to go mountain climbing,run a marathon, or discover a cure for cancer, write it down. Now, write all the things you would like to " HAVE " in life : If you want a Lexus Vehicle, a $200,000 dollar home, or a vacation house in Florida, write it down..." THERE IS NO LIMIT...SO DREAM BIG DREAMS !" NOTE : this exercise is not complete until you have come up with a total of at least " 100 " things from what you want to " BE , DO, and HAVE ." .PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b

" FALSE CREATIONS PRODUCE A FALSE LIFE " BY GO BLANSON

Hello Tribe, in this week's Article has to do with " FALSE CREATIONS." Last week we came to a conclusion that " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING " were two of the things that we need to " ADD.". You see,we must learn to apply these two variables to our " THINKING " as well as to our " DOING." Also, it is very important that we are operating and performing under " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING." Otherwise, we will produce a " FALSE CREATION "[ " FALSE CREATIONS " produce a " FALSE " Life ]. I am reminded of a story about an " EAGLE "It is very important who had accepted " INCORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " INCORRECT UNDERSTANDING " about himself.Therefore, instead of living the extraordinary life of an " EAGLE," he ended up living the life of a " CHICKEN "( Please copy and paste this link to read the Story about the Eagle who thought he was a chicken ). Although the story was a fairytale of sorts, it still shows how through " INCORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " INCORRECT UNDERSTANDING " we can end up living a life that we didn't necessarily have to. Stephen Covey, Lisa Nichols,Napoleon Hill, and I all agree," When deciding what you want in life,the first step is to begin with an end in mind. Which means that you need to get clear and definite about what you want to achieve.In order to do so, it is crucial that we have clear and defined goals. Lisa Nichols{ and other leading experts } advises that we set goals based on the areas of our lives[ copy and paste this link to view the life areas wheel / life wheel >http://www.coactive.com/docs/resources/toolkit/pdfs/18-Wheel-of-Life-Exercise.pdf ]. Based on the life areas wheel, we can set goals in each area of our life. However, we should make sure that we are using " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING " about who we are, who we want to become, and what we want to achieve.Once we have the " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING," we can then begin the process of setting goals in each area of our life that will forever transform our lives ! Ok, that's it for this week. I hope that everyone makes sure that they copy and paste this link to the life wheel > http://www.coactive.com/docs/resources/toolkit/pdfs/18-Wheel-of-Life-Exercise.pdf ( to get a better understanding of how to complete their own life wheel )..PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b

" CORRECT WISDOM AND CORRECT UNDERSTANDING " BY GO BLANSON

Hello Tribe, here's the follow up to my last Article.As I mentioned in last week's Article, while you're " STRIPPING," people and things from your life; you should also be adding people and things to your life. Also, as you begin to add new people and things,Lisa( Nichols ) advises that you consider this list of things to help you on your journey : *Eat Right( better ) *Open up and communicate more[ with yourself and others ] *Spend quiet time with yourself and God *Allow emotionally healthy people in your life to serve you * Love toxic people from a Distance *Draw boundaries for yourself with your family and friend circle. Ok,now let's get to the adding ! The first thing to add is " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE "{ Knowledge of One's Own Self, Knowledge of Mind and how Mind Works,Knowledge of One's environment, Knowledge of People, Knowledge of Things, Knowledge of places, etc... } The next thing to add is " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING." ( Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding - Proverbs 4:7 ) We must take the " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING " and " APPLY " them in all of the " AREAS " of our lives{ google Life Wheel to see an example of the areas of Life }. If you want to " UNDERSTAND " the process BETTER, I strongly advise that you get a copy of Lisa Nichols book," ABUNDANCE NOW !" Well, surprisingly enough, those are the " FIRST " two things to ADD. Once you add " CORRECT KNOWLEDGE " and " CORRECT UNDERSTANDING," you will begin to see things in a different way.Here's the Link to Lisa's " FREE Quiz " > Please copy and paste this link > http://www.abundancenowonline.com/AbundanceNowPersonalProsperityQuiz.pdf PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b !

" STOP TRIPPING AND START STRIPPING " - BY GO BLANSON

I feel a Whoop comin' on, a Whoop comin' on ! To the left, to the left, to the right, to the right To the front, to the front, to the back, to the back,Now " STRIP " baby " STRIP," come on let's " STRIP " baby " STRIP!" I feel a Whoop comin' on, a Whoop comin' on ...5, 4, 3, 2, 1...Come on Whoop, Whoop, Whoop, Whoop !

Hello Tribe, some people would say," Garry, where did you get a title like " STOP TRIPPING AND START STRIPPING " from. Well, as I was reading a phenomenal book," ABUNDANCE NOW " by a phenomenal author " LISA NICHOLS," who JUST ALSO happens to be one of my " VIRTUAL MENTORS." In her book ,Lisa said," In order to Live an Abundant Life in every way,you need to Love the Skin you're in.In other words," You need to become the " NEXT BEST " version of who you were meant to be!" Together with reading her book and listening to some of her audios and videos, I came up with this week's Article title," STOP TRIPPING AND START STRIPPING ." Reading,listening ,and watching to Lisa's materials helped me the see that most people just need to " STOP TRIPPING AND START STRIPPING !" No,No,No, I am not talking about the traditional type of " STRIPPING " where you take off all of your clothes. I am talking about " STRIPPING " yourself of the things that are blocking your blessings and good. Therefore,I feel that the " FIRST " thing you should do is simply " STOP TRIPPING !"You are going to have to " STOP TRIPPING " about things that have happened in your life.You are going to have to " STOP TRIPPING " about the things that haven't worked out the way you planned them to. You are going to have to " STOP TRIPPING " about your family and friends not supporting you as you pursue your Dreams.You are going to have to " STOP TRIPPING " about not knowing everything you think you should know.You are going to " STOP TRIPPING " about not having all the resources you think you should have.In short, you are going to have to " STOP TRIPPING AND START STRIPPING !" After you " STOP TRIPPING, " it's time to " START STRIPPING !" The Apostle Paul said it like this," Let us lay aside[ " STRIP "] every WEIGHT, and the things that doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the RACE( Journey ) that is set before us - Hebrews 12:1. Ok, nobody ever said that the " STRIPPING " was going to be , but it's absolutely necessary for our Personal developement and Spiritual growth. Also, since everyone is different ; everyone will not have to " STRIP " the same things. While some people need to " STRIP " people from their Lives, other people need to " STRIP " certain attitudes,behaviors,beliefs,foods and routines.One person once said," The three main things that we as humans must constantly deal with are : Thoughts, People, and Things. So what are some of the Thoughts, People, and Things you need to " STRIP " from your Life, in order to Live a more Abundant Life? I would like to challenge you to commit a hour a day for the next 7 days to the process of " STOP TRIPPING AND START STRIPPING !" NOTE : make sure you choose a quite place and time to perform this exercise, make sure you get into a relaxed " STATE of MIND," before you begin this exercise, and make sure you have pencil/pen and paper available during this exercise[ TURNOFF YOUR PHONE/CELL PHONE BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS EXERCISE ! ]. In next week's Article, We will go over some of the things you should consider " ADDING " to replace the things that you are " STRIPPING."

" I WANT YOU TO ASK YOURSELF ONE THING " BY GO BLANSON

“ Be like a postage stamp— stick to one thing until you get there.” —Josh Billings

Hello Tribe, this week's title came to me as I was reading the book, " The One Thing " by Gary Keller .At the beginning of the book,he talks about the t.v. comedy series " City Slickers ." In one memorable scene, Curly, the gritty cowboy played by the late Jack Palance, and city slicker Mitch, played by Billy Crystal, leave the group to search for stray cattle. Although they had clashed for most of the movie, riding along together they finally connect over a conversation about life. Suddenly Curly reins his horse to a stop and turns in the saddle to face Mitch. Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is? Mitch: No. What? Curly: This. [He holds up one finger.] Mitch: Your finger? Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don’t mean shit. Have you ever heard of the old saying," The best way to eat an elephant is " ONE " bite at a time? Well, this also can apply to accomplishing your goals. Too many people end to look at the size of their goals and become overwhelmed. Like the Israelites in the bible," they look at their goals as giants and themselves as grasshoppers. They fail to realize that they can break their goals down into smaller bite size pieces[ Things are Harder by the Yard, but they're a Cinch by the Inch ]. Instead of looking at your goal as a " Big Hairy Monster," view it as a puzzle. A puzzle with several pieces that fit together as a whole. Now the " Big Hairy Monster " is tameable. You can begin begin to see it in a new light. Now you see yourself as the Giant and your goals as the grasshoppers So after everything that I have said," I want you to ask yourself One Thing." I want you to get in the " HABIT " of asking yourself,WHAT IS THE " ONE THING " THAT I CAN DO " TODAY " THAT WILL HELP GET ME CLOSER TO ACHIEVING MY GOAL(S) FOR TODAY? Once you decide on the " ONE THING " that you can do, " IMAGINE " yourself " BEING " the person doing the thing[s] you chose to do( this is when the " MAGIC " will begin ). The " MAGIC " is that " ONE THING " will lead you to another thing, which will lead you to another thing{ and so on and so on }. Furthermore,since we are creatures of habit, it is important that we develop good SUCCESS HABITS," One " SUCCESS HABIT at a time." Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with taking " ONE STEP !" In closing,I hope that this article helps you on your journey to deeper enlightenment. - garry b [ PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks ! ]

" THE PATH OF MOST RESISTANCE " BY GO BLANSON

" From the Cradle to the Cubicle, We devote more time to our shortcomings than to our strengths " - Tom Rath

Hello Tribe, this week's Article title came to me while I was reading the book, " Strengths Finder 2.0 “ by " Tom Rath." In the book Mr. Rath speaks of how most School learning programs are flawed. Why are they flawed you might ask? Well, they are flawed because their aim is more about helping us become " WHO WE ARE NOT," than about helping us become more of " WHO WE ARE !" Additionally, he went on to say," From the cradle to the cubicle, we are pushed to devote more time on our weaknesses than on our strengths." I totally agree with Tom on this point. It's insane to me how our Schools continue to force its " ANTIQUATED " School Curriculum on students. Students are made to endure the School Curriculum, even though it has lost its relevancy. Furthermore, I feel that it is ridiculous for School officials to expect that all kids would excel in such a non-nurturing environment that's found in most Schools. Especially when we already know that " ALL " students are not the same! Each student has their own individual learning style, and each student does not respond the same in all instances. Therefore, I feel that students should be allowed more time to focus on learning more about " WHO THEY ARE." What does it profit a child to gain all A's and not be able to answer the question," WHO AM I ?" ---Dr. Phil once said," Most people can't tell you who they are, because they don't know who they are!" Wow, most people don't know who they are ! What's even sadder is when people spend their entire lives living someone else's life. All because they wanted to please their parents or because of peer pressure. No matter what the reason, they end up sacrificing who they could of been. Just think about what they could of have accomplished being who they were meant to be, instead of being what other people wanted them to be? Too often people are told to go after the money. To choose a job because it pays a certain amount of money[ then they find our later that no amount of money can take the place of " FULFILLMENT " ].So many people have gotten " GOOD JOBS WITH BENEFITS " that didn't fit their personality{ IDENTITY }. so they became miserable and ended up resenting their jobs. All because they didn't know " WHO THEY WERE !" In closing, I would like to beseech everyone to be sure of “ WHO YOU ARE.” Otherwise, YOU are probably going to live someone else's life, Instead of YOUR own.PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson FREE SAMPLE of The book, " The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson : Please Copy and Paste this Link > http://johndavidmann.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Sample-Slight-Edge.pdf

" THE THREE LITTLE PIGS " BY GO BLANSON

Hello Everyone, this week's title," THE THREE LITTLE PIGS," reminds me of the story that I heard as a little child.The Three Little Pigs bedtime story / fable / fairy tale about three pigs who built three houses of different materials. A big bad wolf blows down the first two pigs' houses, made of straw and sticks respectively, but is unable to destroy the " third pig's house," made of bricks.As I thought about the 3 pigs building their houses, I began to see a similarity with people building their " lives." While everybody is taking massive action, it seems like most people aren't paying attention to the " tools and materials " that they are using to build their lives! As Stephen R Covey said in his book, " The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,People are too busy " SAWING " that they forget to " SHARPEN " the SAW.Additionally, people have been conditioned to fly with their lives on " AUTO-PILOT." By default,once most people get a job, they start a set routine and " COAST " from day-to-day.Instead of living their lives by " DESIGN," they live their lives by " DEFAULT." Too many of us do like the first two pigs and build our lives with inferior tools and materials.Also, we spend too much of or time working on things and projects that don't produce the productivity and achievements that are required to make our lives STRONG and MEANINGFUL.Yes, the first two pigs spent time doing things to build a house that would last.However,their houses did not survive the wolf's attacks.If only they had put more " THOUGHT and CONSIDERATION " about the " TOOLS and MATERIALS " they would be using to CREATE and BUILD their houses. Most times,before people begin building a home, they hire an " ARCHITECT." Well,SINCE YOU are the " ARCHITECT " of YOUR life,YOU need to " GO AHEAD AND CREATE A BLUEPRINT FOR YOUR LIFE!" OK Garry, how does one start? Glad you asked !{ Please copy and Paste this Link.It is a Great place to go to to GET STARTED on Creating YOUR OWN Personal BLUEPRINT for YOUR Life > http://www.artofmanliness.com/2011/02/08/create-a-life-plan/ .
