Change Your Heart = Change Your Life
There is a rather well known quote which circulates from time to time. It states;
"Change your thoughts, change your life."
It is important we understand the deepest meaning of this statement or it may lead to frustration and despair.
There are many well intentioned people with great thoughts and aspirations, who continually think on these things, however never experience them in the physical world. Why, if a mere change in thought is all that is required, do they not?
The answer lays in the belief, what has been laid as the blueprint within the Heart. We may wish, we may think all we want in a certain direction, however until our thought, our desire, harmonizes with the belief in our Heart, we shall never bring it to fruition. The belief in our Heart is our vibrational magnet which commands the circumstances we experience in our physical world.
"Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are."
"Man is continually revolting against an effect without, while all the time he is nourishing and preserving its cause in his heart."
James Allen
There are diamonds to be found within this popular quote. To discover them we must mine deep below the surface of it to ferret out all that is held within.

Recipe for Success
A
Clear Objective
If you wish sustainable results it is
imperative you know what and why you wish to accomplish something. – My
intention is to be in the best shape of my life, releasing 20lbs in 8 weeks. I
will look better, have more energy, be healthier, all leading toward more
confidence in every area of my life. Clarity with purpose.
Research
Once your objectives have been defined you may begin to research information, which will inform you of the best direct route to realize those objectives. Where will you train, how often, and what is the best program for your objectives? Should you consider a nutritional plan? Would you benefit from having a personal trainer?

Action
An objective and a game plan are of no use unless you are willing to take consistent decisive action. This means getting yourself to the gym, followed up by a sound nutritional plan. Take responsibility for your health by committing to your plan and act.
Accountability
It is recommended you find one or several people you know who will support you on your road to victory. These friends will hold you accountable and encourage you. Surround yourself with them, avoiding the naysayers who will creep out of the woodwork.
Structure
Action must be accompanied by structure to ensure no wasted effort, maximizing your results. In the field of fitness structure means a well laid out program of content, number of programs, time allocation for each segment and total time required with a solid plan for further development before each segment is completed and beyond the completion of the total program of action.

"Having conceived of his purpose, a man should mentally mark out a straight pathway to its achievement, looking neither to the right nor the left."
James Allen
Feedback, Flexibility and Modification
Flexibility in programming through constant feedback and communication from well positioned questions and reciprocal answers between you and your trainer ensures timely modifications and upgrades are instituted as needed to ensure the quickest and safest progress is realized without interruption.
The End Point
Every objective needs to have a clear end point.
You need to know when you have arrived, (been successful), so you can
appreciate and congratulate your self on your achievement. Congratulate
yourself in a big way – make the journey worthwhile. Perhaps you have been
dreaming of a vacation to some southern resort or a shopping spree to upgrade
your wardrobe showing off your new physique. Now is the time to reward yourself
with your desire – you deserve it. It is also important to know when you are
close to the objective so you can select new objectives just before attaining
your current goal to ensure continued progress.
A Clear Benefit
To maintain continual progress it is necessary to take ownership and personalize your journey by asking yourself specific questions centered on your objective. These questions will lead you to creating a clear benefit, or benefits, to achieving your goal. There must be a clear and concise reward(s) important enough to keep you committed.
If these 8 steps are followed in a consistent manner you will realize your objectives – and in a big way. These steps are not restricted to the health and fitness world. They are unfailingly applicable to any area of life you wish to set new objectives for.
The key is to take ownership of the changes you wish to make. Create excitement around them – get others who will support you involved to encourage you when challenges arise and follow these 8 steps. You will be successful.

Know Thyself
"As a being of Power, Intelligence, and Love, and the lord of our own thoughts,
each of us holds the key to every situation and contains within ourselves that
transforming and regenerative agency by which we may make ourselves what
we will."

Mother's Day
I am a very private individual. It has been through much thought and contemplation I bring this blog to you.
There are very few who know the story behind the personalized plates on my truck.
Although my mother is no longer with us I want to share this treasured moment with you on this, Mother's Day. I trust it will benefit a few.
My mother was a very strong women with solid convictions and a very insightful way of always challenging beliefs.
My experience takes place about two months before her passing. She had been suffering from dementia for some time and was progressively worsening. Recent visits found her often incoherent and nearly impossible to understand. Her voice at times barely a whisper. I would tell her of my day and all that was going on trusting she heard me. At times I would just read to her or put on her favorite music.
I was searching for the perfect phrase or word for personalized plates on my truck. Something that had meaning for me, and would also benefit any who saw them. I had written and contemplated dozens of names however none resonated well with what I was trying to accomplish.
One afternoon as I was visiting my mom, who happened to be having one of those days she was really not coherent at all, I was reading to her and talking about all that was new in life. I decided to tell her about my plight in finding a name for my personalized plate. It was really weird. She stirred and whispered something however I was unable to discern what she had said. I leaned in, maybe just a few inches from her, and requested she repeat once again. She did. She said "COURAGE." I heard it clearly. Then she was gone again.
The word COURAGE now graces the plates on my truck and forever will.
My mom was a courageous woman, never afraid to challenge, making you think about why you believe what you do.
This one word courage has carried me through many challenges since that day. I am so grateful for my mom. I love her dearly. She has blessed me with the courage to challenge, to be all I am able, and to challenge you to do the same.
Thanks MOM, I love you. :-)

Search
How may I see, if I am not looking? How may I look, if I do not know what to look for?
"Seek, (Universal Principle), and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you."
Matthew 7:7
Search your Heart in quiet meditation, asking for guidance to all you seek. Listen - the answers will come.
Doing corresponds to seeing. If seeing expands, so does the doing also increase.
Greater works result from greater understanding.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding.
Proverbs 7:4
