Don't be a Turkey...Be an Eagle!

Ever wondered, "Are you a TURKEY or an Eagle"? I hope you're an EAGLE.

Traits of a Turkey:
- Loves to hang around with other turkeys
- Watches on the sidelines as other turkeys are getting slaughtered
- Always in fear of getting killed, burnt and roasted
- Puts their head down and runs away from everything that comes near it
- Never tries to escape for freedom
- Wonders when the next meal is going to be handed to them by their master (breeder)
- Lives a short and fearful life
- Only flaps their wings and gets a few feet in the air and comes down
- Makes too much noise with no relevant output. No wonder they get slaughtered

Traits of an Eagle:
- Flys solo and roams free in the expansive skies
- Spread their wings and fly majestically and effortlessly
- Knows how to protect themselves from any threats that comes their way
- Keeps their head up high as they soar in adventurous spirit
- Always finds their meals whenever they are hungry by pinpointing exact locations of their food sources from miles away
- Lives in freedom and can go anywhere they like
- Lives a long, happy and prosperous life

From what I described above, see how that can metaphorically apply to you.

The truth is...Wait before I go on, be sure you can handle it. Because it applies to most of you out there.

The truth is most of us are like Turkeys. We bunch up together to discuss about the weather, your day, my day, other people's day, how miserable is yours and how miserable is theirs. There is hardly anything positive. Most of us just makes a lot of noise but watches as things starts to happen. Marvel over what the world has miserably done to your lives...Sounds alarmingly familiar.

Whereas, Eagles are the kind of species that makes things happen. First of all by flying high up. Lesson one, if you want to know what is going on around you, you got to be as high as the rest to be sure you can at least see the big picture. Lesson Two, scan for opportunities to hunt. Eagles always scan for their prey. They scan the situation with absolute patience before they strike. Lesson three, Tora Tora Tora!!! Strike Strike Strike!!! when the enemy is unaware. They strike with precision and accuracy. Lesson Four, lets enjoy the fruits of its labour. Finally Lesson Five, do it all over again and again and again. This completes the Eagle cycle.

May you live like an eagle and pursue your dreams to the fullest extent, and in the highest spirit and without any more fear.

Don't be a turkey!

Believing is Like Magic

Have you ever failed at something and felt so bad that you didn't want to get out of bed? Have you ever lost someone, or lost something, that also took your hopes and dreams down the drain? Have you ever believed in something or wanted something so much that it seemed like it was true, only to have your heart ripped out of you when you got dissapointed that it did not happen or turned out to be something else?

I know that you probably have. It' s human nature after all. And each time it happened, those are traumatic experiences that, in my own universe, are all healed for you. It might be hard for you to even read this article, because your dreams and what you believe in has been taken away from you, or even beaten out of you by reality, so many times that you wouldn't even want to read another word about believing.

Well, I am not here to offer to take your problems away. I just want to remind you now, that your dreams, your beliefs, your hopes, and your wishes, are spiritual powers that you can use. People say, "no one can take that all away from you", well maybe that is true, but things can and do happen that make you feel like not using those great powers of yours ever again. Yet they are your powers to use anytime.

In the past few years, since working with my own mind, using the techniques in the mind power system I publish, I enjoy amazing tangible results, that I can't deny, using my belief, faith, and imagination. Did you know that these spiriitual powers are capable of having an enormous impact on your material life?.When belief, faith, and imagination are applied correctly they have more force that a hammer, or even a jackhammer, to break through the limitations of your current reality and get you new results in and new material reality.

You need something like a jackhammer to get results, because sometimes reality is that tough to get your dreams to come true into. Are you with me? There is the external universe, where you would like to have your dreams come true, and where they can and do come true for some people, and then there is your own universe, where you can use your belief, imagination, hope, dreams, and other spiritual powers, as much as you are able to.

When you realize that the two universes are separate, that your spiritual powers and your material world experiences are related, but not the same, I know that you will experience, more and more, the reason why you should never give up on your dreams, and how you can get better at making the good ones come true, and the bad ones disappear forever.

Your dreams are precious spiritual energy with the force and power to change your life in alignment with what you imagine is best for you life.

Always remember that inner universe of your imagination is a safe place where nothing can destroy your dreams. Keep them and what you believe in safe from the hurt and disappontment that can happen when you expose them to the material world. If you do so you will enjoy a magical real life that is influenced by the spiritual powers of your dreams.

Your dreams,what you believe in, guides your actions, which changes your life. Always keep your spiritual forces alive, and protected, in your own universe.

Why Your Purpose Is So Important?

Have you ever wondered what the ultimate reason for success truly is?

It's not who your family is. (though it can help)

It's not what school you went to.

It's not getting that first 'big break'.

It's much simpler, in fact you don't need to be a mystic to predict someone's future success. You can do so by asking them just one easy question,

"What is YOUR ONE DEFINITE PURPOSE in life - and what are your plans to attain it?"

The vast, vast majority of people will say something along the lines of, "I'd like to make a good living and be successful." Sounds good?

However if you dig deeper you will almost certainly find they've been drifting along in the shadows of others.

To be successful, you must decide EXACTLY what your goal or vision is and then lay out the steps by which you intend to attain it.

The person who ACTS WITH PURPOSE with a PLAN will almost always attract far more opportunities.

** The story of the Ice Cream King **

One of America's most successful franchisers was Lee Maranz. He knew what he wanted and had a plan on how to get it. His vision was a chain of ice cream stores in every city, in every state. He designed an automatic ice cream freezer which made soft ice cream.

He built his success on helping others achieve their success by giving them store design plans and selling them his machines at cost. He made his profit from the sale of the ice cream mix. Of course he ended up with a chain of stores across the USA,and his machines were sold worldwide. You've probably eaten many ice creams from his machines!

Lee Maranz said, "If you have a strong belief in yourself, in what you are doing and what you want to do, no adversity is too difficult to overcome."

If YOU want to achieve success, then make TODAY the day you stop drifting. Sit down and decide on a definite goal. Write it down and repeat it over and over to yourself until it's permanently stored in your memory. Then decide what plan you require to achieve it.

Break it down into EASY STEPS and begin putting them into action immediately. Just take the first easy step and the others will follow.

Remember YOUR FUTURE is what you make it.

Until next time,
