Today is the Determining Factor

Today is the determining factor for the direction of the rest of your life… your professional success, your personal growth, your financial prosperity, your physical well being and the health of your relationships. Today you decide which journey to travel and which road to take in life. You decide what your fate will be and what your future holds for you and your direct descendants – because each of our lives are intertwined and our footsteps mark the path of those to come. We lead and they shall follow just as we have followed those who have come before us.

Today your destiny lays in your own hands… today you possess the power to change the unacceptable and improve the undesired. Today you can make a difference to the person sitting next to you… to your children, to your spouse, to your family members and friends, to a stranger on the street, to your co-workers and to your community at large. The largest of Loves waves are always started by one single yet powerful act of kindness that creates a domino affect and results in great change for the good of all humanity. You could ignite that spark, you could initiate that wave – you can make a difference.

How can I make a difference? How can today matter? How can I affect others? How is my destiny in my own hands? How is the great question of the day… How?

By first acknowledging that you are responsible for your life and accepting the fact that you can change yesterday’s reality by modifying today’s actions and creating a butterfly effect in tomorrow’s results. By understanding that time is lost in senseless worry about the past – who’s only purpose is to teach us and guide us by its example. And precious time is wasted in useless worry about the future – which hasn’t yet arrived and we can not control – UNLESS we choose to embrace the present moment and create a positive cycle of actions that will greatly impact what tomorrow brings us.

Living in TODAY is the Key to achieving the tomorrow that we wish to have and the yesterday that we can be proud of having lived.

When we understand that the power to everything is contained in this present moment – by living in the NOW HERE instead of the NO WHERE – the exact same letters create very different meaning when shuffled around. Living in the Past or Future is living in the NO WHERE – Living in the Present moment is in fact living in the NOW HERE! Yesterday is gone – tomorrow has not come – but TODAY is what we have and what we can use to make great change in our lives.

We must understand that if we continue to think the way we have always thought, we will continue to act the way we have always acted and we will ultimately and unavoidably continue to create the same results. So if there is anything that needs changing in our live what do we do? What is it that we need to do to create CHANGE in our lives and dramatically affect our futures? WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY WE THINK! Because thoughts create feelings and feelings motivate actions and actions are what bring us to where we now are.

 Today you decided to get up early and come to this meeting. Today you decided that you were going to go out and create business for yourself. Today you decided to move your right foot and then your left foot and keep walking. It truly is that simple! Today you can decide to live in the NOW and embrace the moment by living with purpose and passion… by committing yourself to YOUR self and deciding that you really do deserve to have it all.

Today you can switch every negative thought for a positive one. Today you can create a chain reaction of positive events by Paying it Forward and doing something KIND for someone just as a random act. Today you can plant seeds of Love, Kindness, Productivity and Prosperity for tomorrows reaping. Today you can TAKE ACTION and move towards that dream you have been wanting for so long but are afraid to face. Today you can accept and embrace your birthright as a child of the universe to live WELL and Prosper. Today you can pick up a book and educate yourself on a subject that will help you grow personally, mentally, professionally or spiritually.

Today you can embrace your constitutional right of LIFE, LIBERTY and the PERSUIT OF HAPPINESS!

Today, you can stop counting excuses and start making a list of reasons as to why you should go for that dream, start that new project or reach a new level of success in your business.

Today you can start your wish list, your letter to God or the PLAN for your future success.

Today you can hear Goethe’s words – “What you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius power and magic in it.”

Today you can embrace the power of words by declaring: “What we can conceive, we can achieve with the help of God.”

Today you can remind yourself that: EVERY OBSTACLE RUSHES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE MAN WHO KNOWS WHERE HE IS GOING: AND ALL THE WORLD SEEMS ON THE SIDE OF THE MAN WHO TRIES TO RISE.

Today you can understand that once you decide to live with purpose and passion in your life – The Universe Conspires to make your greatest of dreams come true with the least amount of effort.

Today is a gift from God – that is why its call the PRESENT – make the most of it – make a difference – Make it work for you!

Using the Law of Attraction – Receiving More by Giving More

Monica Garcia Saenz

Then ancient and ever present Laws of the Universe have been used throughout all human existence by the great leaders, rulers and masters of the world. History speaks clearly of their magnificent achievements – but what we don’t know is that they all used these laws of the Universe to achieve their success and leave the footprint of their lives on earths Life memory. These same Laws still apply to us today and are in order whether we realize it or not.

Talk of these Laws is now emerging – the secrets of our ancestors are now being brought to light and shared with the masses. A shift in the collective consciousness is taking place as we speak. This shift is being created with AWARENESS because with awareness comes power – and with power Man & Woman has the ability to change his/her reality.

The Law of Attraction is one of the most powerful Laws in existence. It basically states that whatever you give out you will receive – TENFOLD. To understand the Law of Attraction we must understand that the Universe is a Giant Magnet – filled with millions of little magnets – and these magnets are always drawing more of themselves to themselves. These magnets are US – You and I and we are always attracting our reality to us. In other words – Like Attracts Like – What I have inside of me I attract into my life – What I think I create – What I Give, I Receive.

Having the Knowledge of the Law of Attraction gives us magnificent power over our reality in Life. It affects our Personal life as well as our Professional Career – It affects our Health, our Finances and even our Love Life. Once we begin using the Law of Attraction to our benefit – we can create our dream life and finally we can stop waiting for it to magically arrive. We have the power to bring to us everything we desire through Prosperous Thinking and Positive Action – Through Living a Life of Significance and Purpose – Through GIVING to others exactly what it is that we want to receive in life.

If we are interested in receiving more business referrals – than we need to focus on giving Business Referrals to others. If we are interested in making a sale – then we need to help someone make their sale – it is a cycle that comes back to us – Saving Money is a good thing but Blessing the Money that we spend is ever better because we are then inviting it to come back to us by way of our business.

When we learn to live with kindness in our hearts, forgiveness in our soul and Love as the forefront of our lives – everything changes. When we act out of honesty, sincerity and true gratitude for everything the Universe has already given us – more is shed upon us simply because we are grateful!

The first Step to using the Law of attraction is acknowledging that it exists. The second is to shift our thoughts to what it is that we desire in life. THINK FROM THE END and imagine yourself having that goal already achieved in your life. Sometimes writing it down or making a Vision Board with all of our goals and dreams on it helps – this was we can take a few minutes of everyday to Focus on those Dreams and draw them to us with our thoughts and emotions. The next thing we need to do is CONNECT to Spirit and give Thanks to the Universe knowing that it is already on its way. UNBREAKABLE FAITH is eminent for the Law of Attraction to work – we must rid ourselves of all doubt. We must know that whatever is meant for us will arrive on its own and in its own time – we only have to be open to receive it.  

And Lastly – we must take POSITIVE – SIGNIFICANT action in order to jump start the chain of events that will bring about our Desired Result for tomorrow. Now it’s important to realize that there is a TIME DELAY in the Laws of the Universe – some results may come quicker than others… sometimes what we desire is not meant for us – so TRUSTING in our selves and the Universe that what comes about is for our BEST and HIGHTEST good is very important in order to have happiness and joy while we patiently wait for our dreams to manifest them selves.

Its very simple – start with something small - Give something to someone this week that you would like in return. Give it with your thoughts – give it with your actions and then watch it come back to you again and again! 

WHAT IS YOUR PLEDGE?

5 TIPS TO GETTING YOU NOTICED!

By Monica Garcia Saenz

In today’s competitive market – Good isn’t enough anymore. You need great marketing techniques and creative ideas in order to stay on top of the game.

Here are 5 quick and easy marketing tips to help get you noticed!

#1 Target your Market – It’s all about the Customer!

In order to reach your customer, you have to know who your customer is – get to know your market and try to put yourself in their shoes – See It from their point of view. Ten different people will give you ten different opinions - the only opinion you should be worried about is your customer’s! You could have a wonderful product or service at a great price but if your customers don’t notice you… what good is it? Make sure you are getting your message across to the right person – your customer!

#2 Remember the THREE Second Rule!

You have all of THREE SECONDS to grab the attention of your reader before they move on to the next item or page. Most People have a short attention span because they are used to quickly moving on to the next item at hand - so be sure to use those three seconds wisely and to your advantage – Grab’em, Hold On & Don’t Let Go! The way you do this is with SMART, CREATIVE and METHODICAL strategies that will help you stand out in the crowd and get noticed in three seconds.

#3 Your Favorite Marketing 101 Acronym UMBB

UMMB – UNIQUE, MEANINGFUL, MEMORABLE and BELIEVABLE.

Unique is making it yours – owning it, having it represent you and creating something that is different from what everyone else out there has. Unique is something that isn’t going to get confused with the next ad out there. Meaningful is making sure that your message speaks to the customer. Does it have value in their eyes? Can they see themselves using it or owning it? Does it mean something to the reader? If it doesn’t mean anything to them, most likely they won’t spend money on it. Memorable – will they remember it once they flip the page or walk away? Did it stay with them? Will they think of your name or logo next time they need your services or will they just flip through the yellow pages again? Make sure your message is one that will be remembered. Believable – Is it REAL? Will the really buy your story or does it look like you borrowed it from Fairy Tale land? Do unicorns have anything to do with your product? IF not – Don’t use it! Make them Believe it!

# 4 Keep it Simple!

It is very easy to overwhelm your customers with too much information or something that is too busy or too bright. You want to grab them, not scare them so remember that sometimes Less is More in getting yourself noticed by your customers. Make sure that your message is clean, clear, concise, simple and to the point in order to really be effective in getting your message across to your customers.

# 5 Be Consistent!

Once you find a good, unique logo or look that works for you – make sure that it stays consistent always. Picture McDonalds over the years - they have had many marketing campaigns but the Golden Arches have always remained the same. Close your eyes and think of Target and you will automatically see the Red Bulls Eye no matter what. Each time you see their Image it is the same color, same size, same basic look – because they are CONSISTENT. Remember to be true to your marketing look by remaining consistent always. Know your colors so that you can always have the exact same shade you used the first time. Be sure to have your logo in an email format that you can easily send to your printer, graphic designer or marketing consultant so that your look is always consistent. Don’t be afraid to ask for a soft copy of whatever is created for you – once you pay for it – it’s YOURS and you should be able to keep it for future use with whomever you choose to use in the future for your marketing needs. Protect your image by making sure it is always the SAME.

I hope these Tips to Getting Noticed have helped you get an idea of what you need to do in your journey towards SUCCESS.
