OUT IN OUT!

Nearly 20 years ago I was encouraged to start my own business and break out of the corporate rat race. I was good at the corporate game and had quickly ascended to management and was in position to be a partner in a few more years. There was no guarantee this would happen since it was based upon the decisions of other people. I learned that the best way to predict your future was to invent it. I took the chance and I am glad I did! My business became a multi-national success that has helped people all over the world. The co-workers that I was competing with for partnership are still waiting their turn.

I decided it was time to make my own identity and pursue life at the pace and style that best suited my dreams instead of letting someone else determine that path. I also decided to build the kind of man that I wanted to be. I had a good idea of the person I wanted to be and decided to invent those traits in my mind. I decided to shape my own mind in a way that would eventually dictate what I was on the outside.

We are all living a manifestation of what has been going on in our minds for quite some time. That is a fortunate or unfortunate reality for all of us! Our life really is an inside job that starts on the outside and eventually ends on the outside but must pass through our hearts and minds first.

I would like to encourage you to take some time to write down exactly the kind of person you want to be in 5 years. Be very specific with these answers. Think about your health, finances, relationships, faith, self-image and contributions. Once you have taken the time to write down 3 or 4 things in each of these categories I would like you to post them somewhere that you will look at every day. In doing so you will automatically and subconsciously go to work to make them a reality.

Our life is truly very predictable if you really think about it. The information we put into our minds dictates what we think about all day long. What we think about becomes the conversations we have with our friends and family. Typically the things we talk about become the actions we take throughout the ensuing weeks. Actions repeated over long enough time are called habits and our habits become our character. Character is defined by the things and thoughts that consume us all day long. Whatever this happens to be will ultimately determine the fruit of our tree. We move and gravitate in the direction of our most dominant thoughts.

So we start off with a dream on the outside, it then moves to the inside as we meditate on it and collect information that supports that vision. Our work eventually kicks in and sooner than later we begin to see on the outside what we have always dreamed. Out-in–out! Amazing but true! Put it to work my friends and I will guarantee you will see changes you once thought were impossible.
