On To Prosperity

ByMatthew

I found this in my “share-with-others” pile and am pleased to offer it now; it was an e-mail from a mentor, Steve Chandler:

Get out of the future, stay in the now.

You want to glance into the future when you make your goals, your objectives, your master plan, but then set that aside and then use every moment as a now moment. The opportunity in this moment, this phone call, this meeting, is so huge we miss it by our minds always being worried about the future. So the mind is out in the future, and the body is in the present moment trying to deal with this person, and it’s a total disconnect.

Life is pure opportunity. We just need to be practiced at being here for it.

On to prosperity,

Steve

Cheers!

    The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will. – Vince Lombardi Clarity. That’s where will, and its power, comes from. When you’re clear on what you want, and why you want it, there’s little-to-nothing that can stop you.

    In the spirit of a koan, I offer the following: We seem to be in mode where we (think we) need more than ourselves to be somebody. Is this true? Is this true for you? If it’s true, is it accurate? Is it helpful? Is it constructive? Is it… ? You. Are. Enough. (More than, actually……
