Here is an incredible poem that I wanted to share with you.

You have been given a dream - a purpose for being here… And in each life, it is up to you to make a difference… To leave joy, smiles and laughter as you pass the people by… To touch a life and leave an imprint of love… This is your task-your challenge-your pursuit.

It will be up to you when all has been said and done… Whether you accomplish your purpose for being on this earth. Some may try to hinder that purpose or even thwart it… But if you really hold on to the dream, you will see it through. No one can really affect your dreams unless you allow them to. No one can change your dreams unless you give your dreams to them.

Never settle for anything less than your purpose. Never go back on your word - make it count for more than just words. And when you lay your head down at night, you will find peace. Not only within yourself but with the dream that lives within you. And at the end if you are granted a chance to look back… You will smile for you will have lived your dream and your purpose will have been fulfilled.

Poem by Marsha B. Smith

A Day
A Moment
We are but a time clock
Tick tock tick tock

Don’t watch it stop
As the days drift away
One and then the next
Another week slips by

This time is now
Don’t know when
Don’t know how

Just stop the race
Jump out of your seat
You won’t look back
So start your feet

Running… and jumping
Spinning and floating

Set your self free
And you will see

You can be… anything you want to be

You. Yes YOU! Hey… Hello!… I’m talking to you.

You have the power to do ANYTHING. Yes *yawn* you have heard it all before…. but just consider it for a minute.

When you were younger people would say to you “you can’t do this” or “you can’t have that”.
You have been programmed by your family and friends to fail.

But you have a choice. You can decide right now in this moment that you do have a choice. You can do anything, be anything or have anything you want in your life.

Most of you won’t. You will read this and flick to the next website looking for another information fix. Searching for “the answer” a quick fix to all your problems. All your worries and concerns. Well I’m going to give it to you straight. Yes I am young, yes I don’t myself have everything I desire in my life right now… but I am fighting for it.

You have to make a stand against yourself. Put all your old habits behind you. Lose the stat checking and email checking addiction. Stop the search for help… and start helping yourself.

Fact. No one is going to do this for you. It will be hard. I mean real hard. You will sweat, you will cry you will be tired.. Excuses in your mind will come… but you have to push hard. Rise above the challenges in your life and believe that you have the power to do anything. You just have to want to badly enough.

When everyone one else quits, loses focus and gives up, you have to keep going. You have to be that hero. The person who against all odds fought for what they wanted and won.

Most people who reach the top first hit the bottom. I thought for a long time that I was just floating happily in the middle. That because I had not yet hit the bottom I could not reach the top… well here is a news flash… unless you do have everything you want in life and are 100% happy, you are at the very bottom.

If from this moment you let that light bulb flick on in your mind that you are no longer going to settle for less today you are at rock bottom. Sure you might not be homeless.. You might have some money in the bank… but if you start right now to really go after what you want.. Everyday day after this one will be better. You will never be back at the place where you settled for less.

Never go back to being lazy and not giving life 110%. You might stumble and fall but you can pick yourself up. Dust yourself off and hit the ground running… and I mean running, even sprint towards what you want.

Work harder not smarter

Stop kidding yourself you work 8 hours a day. Like most people you properly work 2-3 hours a day. You spend the rest of the day chatting, emailing and surfing. Avoiding all the stuff you know you really should be doing. Well cut that crap out of your life and focus on the stuff that gets you the results.

Go for it… never give up… and make now the start of your new life as a winner.

For some reason for the past few days I keep waking up thinking ” I must post to my blog… and then my mind keeping starting to write the post with the word “Have you ever had one of those days?”

Now I’m not sure why this is. While I’m here typing I’m going to just write and see what happens…

For the past few weeks I seem to be going threw a big personal change. I am starting to get focused with my plans and goals and now know what I need to do to achieve them. This is a great place to be in. I suggest that a good old goals update is a good investment of your time.

With it comes a sense of ease. I feel happier and some of my small goals are already starting to fall into place. The law of attraction method is so true… first you decided what you want… then you create it in your mind and then it happen in life…

It’s crazy to think that some of the thoughts in my head have already materialized into solid objects.

The one area I still feel I am lacking in is motivation… I’m finding it challenging to have the discipline to sit down and work solidly for any length of time.

I also noticed recently how much I have changed with my approach to learning. I now have 3-4 books on the go and also two different personal development audio programs!

I never used to read books. From the ages 10-18 I don’t think I read an entire book cover to cover…

I still only tend to read non-fiction, mainly self help, personal development and business related books. I also enjoy the odd biography.

Phew I feel better now… I think this was a bit of a diary moment… I just felt I needed to write and get some of this stuff out of me… Have you ever had one of those days?

Have a great day! Be happy, smile and live each day as your last.

Tom
