Next year is but days away – what will YOU do?

Evie — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 17:21:46 +0000

Today’s post comes from guest writer Chuck Denk click here to visit his Facebook Profile

This coming year’s promise will only be fulfilled if we recognize that things will only get better if we are fully engaged in being part of the solution to make things better. We have to recognize that social justice is a necessary condition to have a flourishing market economy.

Capitalism without a Conscience leaves a market economy that has to be subsidized by the government in the form of welfare because we not only have far too many people who are unemployed. We have too many people who are underemployed or are amongst the working poor because they can’t get employment that provides a living wage.

Wall Street needs to start helping Main Street rather than just themselves. The Health Care Industry needs to recognize that their desire for profits causes needless illnesses and deaths. Corporate America needs to take classes on Civics and not just recognize that the US Constitution is the Law of the Land: “Government is of, by, and for the people,” not “Of, by, and for the Corporation” as far too many people associated with the upper echelons of Corporate America expect WE THE PEOPLE to believe and accept as the way it should be.

Generosity, not Greed, is what has made this country of ours the best it can be. As we approach the end of this holiday season, let us all remember that the Spirit of Christmas is Giving, not taking, and that the Spirit of Christmas should exist every day. Let us all give love and joy to others; not agony and despair. We need to be good neighbors that help a community thrive through cooperation. Competition should be for who can be the most helpful in making the community more than a sum of its parts, rather than who can be the richest leech in the neighborhood. In game-theoretic terms, we don’t have to play a zero-sum game where there has to be winners and losers. We can change the status quo to a new paradigm where all sides gain by balancing the needs of a market economy with social justice.

My heart is unconditionally full of compassion for my fellow citizens, that’s just the way I am.

The Amazing Treadmill Desk – Three Blogs in One Day

Evie — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:53:28 +0000

WOW!!! This is amazing! Today is day two of utilizing my “new” treadmill desk. The treadmill we’ve had for a while and had sadly become quite dusty but no more A shelf we bought at Ikea that was never put up – an old shelf from an old wall unit – no longer possessed and four phone books that have never ever been opened – created an AWESOME treadmill desk.

Official treadmill desks can run you upwards of four and FIVE THOUSAND dollars! I kid you not but why spend that kind of money if you do not need to? … LOL!!! … well, if you can afford it – spend away however for those who live a tad more frugally – there are tons of ways to create a treadmill desk of your very own. As more continue to flock to the Internet the long hours spent sitting WILL affect ones posterior. Although the Internet is an awesome conduit – it can reek havoc on ones health

So – what is my GoalBuzz in this? Outcomes I am after:

Fitness: Get weight back down to the 140ish range – NO higher than 148. To once again be comfortable in my own skin (not like an overstuffed chair )

Focus: By taking my long walks I am allowing the blessing of creativity to visit me easier … see it’s working already Gosh I smiley face a LOT … but oh well. And back to focus. With the focus I find colored vividly by endorphins I will create that which I am meant to, to assist others to do the same in the way they are meant to do so … clear as mud … right? ~f-o-c-u-s~

Websites and Writing: I have over 250 domain names (I will be letting about 100 drop – that will bring me down to the more manageable number of 250ish) While on my Walkation I will blog, work on websites, and other productive things

My goal starting out is to walk a minimum of three hours a day. Imagine if this took off and every one working with a computer, who was able to do so – walked while they were at the computer. Would this affect the productivity for the good or the bad? I’ve noticed I get a LOT more typos than if I were seated at my desk.

I am now at 7.5 miles for the day and i am less than 7 minutes away from three hours … had I not done this – what would I have done? Oh Boy though I am ready for a break and a shower

Imagine what a wonderful world

Evie — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:13:56 +0000

Imagine … Imagine if everywhere you look everyone was happy, where everyone was at peace, where everyone sought to be the BEST they could be and also sought to help others to be the best they can be … Imagine what a wonderful world one would find if the first thought is to build a wonderful world.

LOT’s of “free love” 1960 imagery ~ but get past that and see it as fueling our earth with love … with purpose … with fulfillment … with the reason WE (you, me, her, him, them, and us ) what a wonderful world this WILL be.

PLEASE – if you like the video and/or song – visit the actual YouTube video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XtLxzxQt3U ) and rate, leave comment and subscribe.

So many say what we do online is not worth the time spent – but one mind changed, one heart awakened, one being enlightened … yes it is.

It does not need to be by want of force or force of want – only by that which is … What a wonderful world this will be … I Say I am … I say I Am … I Say I AM WONDERFUL and by knowing this I know you are as well.

Say I am, Say I Am, Say I AM Wonderful, we ARE WonderFUL

Evie — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:08:11 +0000

I ran across a YouTube video … and WOW!!! awesome I wanted to ensure I do not lose contact with this video and the song – so what better way than to write a blog What a GREAT way to start a day.

Say I Am, Say I AM, Say I AM WONDERFUL It is by Gary Go and I say he is, I say he IS, I say he is WONDERFUL

You will need to go to YouTube to watch the video – click here and it will open in a new window as the embed feature has been disabled (but hey! it’s his and he wants his viewers to go to his YouTube page and see his other stuff as well, rate and leave comments … show your love )

Short, sweet and to the point.

When you see something you want to do – do not put it off, do it now. Today – NOT tomorrow. You know what you want to do. What is the plan to do it? What can be done NOW? DO IT … we are a miracle … but we each only have a finite amount of time to do what it is we are here to do.

Begin to accept you ARE wonderful, we are ALL wonderful – WE ARE A MIRACLE. Imagine when everyone understands how absolutely wonderful we all are … and then we begin to act like we ARE Wonderful and WE ARE MIRACLES … WOW!!!

Be happy? Be kings? Be blessed? Understand the power of our choice and what we choose?

We create in everything we do and do NOT. We affect and have an effect on everything we come into contact with every day. Embark on this journey and accept the fact that YES!!! YOU ARE WONDERFUL.

What is the potential when humanity begins to expand into how wonderful we are and begins to work together to build instead of against to destroy … WOW … it is with the Law of Attraction I set this magnetic course into action.

“Say, I am wonderful” resonates with awesome source vibrational energy. It brings a smile to my face just hearing the words silently inside my head …

And so it is, I share this video through this blog – please go, watch, rate and comment. As of the writing of this blog, the video has been watched 1,372,842 times. Will you make it 1,372,843 or will the number be even closer to 1,400,000? Do it today don’t wait for tomorrow. Do it today and then again tomorrow and the next day and the next and the next … do it until you know just how wonderful you are. Then go on to assist others to know how wonderful they are. You are a Miracle!

Thank You ~ From a Thankful World to a Thankful World and beyond.

Enforce Accountability

Evie — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:47:06 +0000

I am going through the 100 Day Challenge and today is day 30. Today’s lesson is about enforcing accountability.

I love the point of “What is the point of setting a goal or making a commitment if one has no intention of honoring it?”

Then all of the … but this happened, or I had no control over that, or any number of *excuses* and yes – even an “accident” can be called in and used as an *excuse* for why something didn’t get done or can’t be done.

If this is a one off item that hasn’t been able to be accomplished (yet) then what ever kept the commitment from being completed will be moved past and is a non issue … The clock on a goal, promise or commitment does not stop until the goal, promise or commitment has been completed or the goal, promise or commitment are ended.

If this is the track record of the person with the “accident” *excuse* then it is only another excuse as to why something is not done, or another promise must needs be broken, or {fill in the blank} There comes a time when others know one’s word does not mean anything – but still the person who says they will, thinks they will at the time they make what ever commitment they agree to … We may *Lie* to others – but one can not lie to one’s self.

When we try to tell our self that we will – but we have not COMMITTED to Our Self that we WILL (if we have not yet decided to ENFORCE ACCOUNTABILITY) ~ it is another goal, promise, commitment not worth the breath or paper it was made on.

It all comes down to how we CHOOSE to be perceived. It comes down to what it is we want to create. It is our free will and choice to follow-through or to give up, quit, stop, or break promises given. We must know what it is we are (or want) to do, then plan how it will be done, and then we must ACT on what we want, how we want it and keep going until we have completed our commitment.

We must first seek to commit to ourselves. And Then ENFORCE ACCOUNTABILITY, Once we get over that hurdle, anything is possible. Potential is limitless.

No matter where you are on the spectrum of accountable or total slacker who never accomplishes ANYTHING – YOU have the ability to reverse that trend and go from Super Human to slacker or from slacker to Super Human. We all have that choice to make every time we make a commitment, set a goal, or give a promise.

It is up to YOU to be your Enforcer of Accountability. Only YOU can create YOU to be the best you are able to be – anything else is just a temporary outside force. Like the wind may blow a leaf miles into the sky and half way around the world – but once the wind is no more – the leaf will surely fall back to earth and decay.

Currently 450 Times A Day I Am famous

Evie — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:05:27 +0000

Being an early adopter of things has it’s rewards and drawbacks. However, being an early adopter of Famous For Fifteen Seconds has some massive rewards. Being as there are only 12 positions taken so far out of 5760, the current 12 positions are rotated continuously.

Twelve images/URL’s rotating at 16 seconds each means a complete rotation is taking 192 seconds. One hundred ninety two seconds divided by 60 seconds is 3.2 minutes. Being as there are 1440 minutes in a day (60 minutes times 24 hours) if my image and URL are shown every 3.2 minutes by my calculations I have the potential to be seen 450 times a day.

Famous for Fifteen Seconds traffic has gone us by 410% over the last three months (as per Alexa.com) Even Twitter has only gone up by 73.2%. Sure Famous doesn’t have the traffic of Twitter … BUT … If this keeps up – WOW!!! Especially if people visiting the site do not see the value of adding themselves in to the rotation. But it is all about choice and choosing rather or not $5.00 is too much to pay a month to assist in driving traffic to your website or offer (NOTE: I am not an affiliate, partner, or any other thing that will get me even a penny of the $5.00 – but I DO believe Adrian’s idea has HUGE potential)

Anyway – that has been our math section of the day If I have it incorrect some how – PLEASE comment and let me know. I’ve been out of school a LONG time and what you don’t use you DO lose.

As I’ve said before we can have the grandest ideas in the world, but if we fail to take action – they are just ideas, pipe dreams, nuggets of stuff just floating around – waiting for someone else to take the action(s) needed to bring a GREAT ideas to reality. So — KNOW what you want to do, PLAN how you will go about doing it, and then ACT. If you haven’t yet begun to do this with your ideas and dreams … make today the day you Being To

SO – with that being said … what is the GoalBuzz of today? Giving a shout out to for Adrian Cowley of Famous for Fifteen Seconds … maybe he’ll let me in on his next grand project

Hmmm – does that mean I am gaining anything from this post? … thinking … the answer I get back is Nope … I am good to go. So check out Famous for Fifteen Seconds – I’d LOVE to know what you think about it.

Define what it is you REALLY want and then GO FOR IT, it is your’s

Evie — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:32:10 +0000

Today is the 14th day of the 100 Day Challenge. It is also the third day in a row (I’m on a roll ) of waking by 5:30 am without the aid of my alarm clock. I have it set for 5:31am just in case I don’t hit the goal of waking before, AND getting out of bed … but so far so good.

How do I do this? My system is to *tell myself* how much time I have available to sleep when I go to bed and then I *tell myself* I must be awake and ready to start the day in *this many hours and minutes* … since beginning to do this a week ago, I’m finding falling asleep is actually quicker and I have been sleeping better. If I wake during the night, a quick glance at the clock and *telling myself* how much longer I have available for sleep/rest/dreams (more on the dreaming in a moment) and back out I am.

Each night before bed I go over the goals I have long term, what I was to have accomplished in the day just done to be able to reach my goals and the things I plan to accomplish the next day. I also *tell myself* what an awesome job I am doing and how wonderful and productive the next day will be.

But what if the day just done wasn’t awesome? It is what it is. As long as I do the best I am able to, in the time allotted, then it IS what it is, it IS awesome, and I am therefore AWESOME as well What if the day just done I goofed off and didn’t get what I wanted to get done, done? Being as I AM awesome, everyone deserves a break now and then – BUT *I tell myself* if I really want to achieve my goals I have set forth, then the next day I need to get back to the thrill of advancing on my goals.

BUT – what if the next day I slack again? Then it is time to sit down and re-think my goals. Are the goals I’ve set forth really what I want, or are they what I think I should to want? Trying to achieve goals one really does not want is a lot like trying to paddle upstream and why would one want to do that, unless it is a life or death situation … and in that case, it probably something one would want very badly

So where am I going with today’s blog? And what about the dreaming part?

Ah – the dreams … note to self begin faithfully writing in a dream journal … my dreams have taken on a mentoring (?) coaching (?) ATTA GIRL!!! feel.

What do I mean by that? hmmm … let me think a moment – An example is a dream I had several nights ago:

I am white water rafting with several other people, it is exhilarating. The river, the raft, all the people on board the raft (including myself and yes the river and raft had feelings in my dream) are all feeling euphoric and WHOOOO HOOOO!!!

Suddenly there is screaming from the bank of the river … a baby is in the water being carried down stream. The baby is sure to drown. The river has no mercy for those who do not bow to it’s power. The water is going fast. White water all around. No one is moving. The raft alerts all to hold on TIGHT. Fear of what the water is capable of grab hold of me, the polished rocks bear testament to it’s true power as white water spray covers everything and everyone, and then a calm blankets me and I know I can save the baby, I can do anything, all I have to do – is DO IT

… and I do.

So, where am I going with today’s blog? By defining what it is we truly want and then breaking it down into the pieces that will make it happen – we are capable and ABLE to do ANY THING we truly desire to do. But to make it happen – We MUST Act!

Do It Now

But that is our choice.

If we choose not to, then the accountability sits squarely on the shoulders of the one who chose not to act.

Day three of the 100 Day Challenge

Evie — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:34:27 +0000

Oh My Goodness – time really does fly!

It is day three of the 100 day challenge and I am already behind. I have a lot of reasons (excuses) for why this is so, but I think the *reason* I am, is I have yet to “Pay The Price”. Not the price of the program ~ which is quite nominal, but the price of investing in myself enough to MAKE ME get up and DO … F-O-C-U-S.

Focus has always been an issue with me – I can be into something and a little flutter just out of my line of sight catches my eye and off I go in another direction … ooohhhh … what was that? So, at the end of the day I am left with *stuff* all over the place and I can’t remember what that *stuff* was for

I remember as a kid seeing George Carlin talking about *Stuff*:

It is time to organize and keep track of my stuff and focus on what I am to do … The 100 Day Challenge. Accountability happens in the 100 Day Challenge. It is time to act and begin to spread the happy of being blessed, but that is all choice we are free to choose.

For everything we do or do not do, we create. We create rather or not we acknowledge we are creating. Either we are creating *stuff* people want or *shit* no one does. Even if want we create is *stuff* that can not be held, touched, or seen … we are creating … even if what we create is nothing more than a black hole.

… hmmm … the world is filled with enough black holes. It’s time to create what people want (or the secret is …) Or creating things people WILL want. Now – how to do this? I feel it is in the 100 Day Challenge, so – back to work for me

It’s never too late to begin the 100 day challenge, and open to ones own potential.

Start with Ambition – WORK to Finish

Evie — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 13:13:05 +0000

Today’s blog begins with a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.

“Without AMBITION one starts nothing. Without WORK one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.”

This quote kinda knocked me on my rear-end this morning. It was a *duh* but also a “What does this mean?” So asking empowering questions – I asked my Self … What am I to take away from this? My answer was as follows.

I can have the greatest story ever, waiting to be told floating around in my head, wanting to be put to paper or recorded. However if I take no steps to make it so, no one else will ever know the scope of the tale if I first do not sit down and first write it, then find a way to get it published and then follow through with the marketing of that tale waiting – wanting to be told.

I can have the greatest website idea also floating around in my head (maybe bumping into the never told story) but no one will ever know the scope of what is possible to accomplish until I sit down and draft out what my idea is – AND THEN follow through to either gain the skills I need or to find them to bring the website into completion and use.

… OR … will this great Universe we are a part of find another way for the story or the website or the *fill in the blank* to ~become~ ?

Reality has a funny way of re-re-re-creating itself until the desired outcome is met. Of course *whatever* morphs as it goes through each individuals abilities and skills as *whatever* is brought to and then takes on a life of it’s own.

In my opinion, creating *whatever* is a lot like birthing a child. Some people want no children and will stop any oops that come their way, no matter the cost. There are many people who do not see themselves AS a (the?) creator – so they abort ideas or wisps of thought, never doing the actions needed that bring them into the stream of co-creators of our reality, while they sit on the sidelines and bemoan the fact they are left behind, as others pick up the discarded (escaped ) ideas and wisps of thought to make it so.

In my reality an entity not born to the “parent(s) of choice” will find another to become. Meaning rather it be person, book, tool, or *fill in the blank* … *whatever* that WANTS to be created (heard, experienced, … to BE …) WILL be.

The shortest distance between two points IS a straight line, but if needed detours are always available … even if new roads need to be built.

… hmmm … how’s that Self?

Motivation and Inspiration

Evie — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:05:41 +0000

It is my belief there are more of us saying the same thing in “in our own way” than ever before in all history combined together compared until right now, this moment.

Case in point In my travels today – one of the sites I landed upon is a blog, and this particular blog entry Motivation and Inspiration is exactly what I needed this day.

Below are the snippets I pulled from the video’s Thank You

Les Brown

Put back as retarded in the fifth grade to the fourth, most of his schooling was done as though he was incapable of learning. A chance meeting with a teacher changed the path he was on.

Someone else’s opinion of you does NOT need to be your reality. The ONLY person whose opinion DOES matter is YOURS. You are your best advocate or your worst enemy.

It’s possible. When faced with *whatever* say IT’S POSSIBLE It’s Possible.

Most people are so negative they must say no seven times before they say yes. Be ready, seek advancement of skills. The only way to “Be Ready” is to seek advancement of ones skills when there is no need, and to be “hungry”

Pursue ones passion. We must have passion in what one does. Being able to follow ones passion, one becomes more thankful.

Thankfulness breeds gratitude. Gratitude breeds success. Find reasons for gratitude.

Nido Qubein

Change from within … the only one who REALLY wants change is the baby in wet diapers.

1) Excellence is a habit: The wildly successful people form habits which “breed” success.

2) Personal responsibility: No one can whine to me why THEY can’t achieve their dreams. As children our surroundings have a lot to do with we do and do not, however there comes a point in every human being’s life when THEY take responsibility for their own actions – even if that decision for their responsibility they give over to another to control. The one “being controlled” is still the one who is choosing in every moment to BE controlled

Life is lived best when you set your self a goal.

3) Change – it is time to face our greatest fears. Change does not come from, nor just for the sake of, cause improvement, but improvement ALWAYS comes from change.

Do not change for the sake of change, but change for that which will improve … once this vicious cycle has begun and others are taught how to do and then improve, abundance is ours ALL of ours

Napolean Hill

Personal Success – When Napolean Hill was a youth and he studied with Andrew Carnegie; he told Mr. Carnegie he (Napolean) should not be a leader due to his youth, lack of education, and lack of finances:

Andrew Carnegie: Science for success philosophy, taught Napolean one GREAT truth

A power that is greater than poverty, education, greater than all your fears and superstitions.

This profound power is that of the creator. We have the complete and unchallengeable control over our mind.

Napolean Hill’s take away was: What ever the mind can conceive and can believe, the mind can achieve. (and how is that, the mind finds a way

Marci Shimoff

Dare to be happy – happy attracts success.
Don’t believe everything you think. I CAN, I CAN, I CAN
Use the power formula: Intention, attention, no tension.
Let your passion lead – have the will to go with your gut. Do what you love. Continue-continue-persist.
Don’t catch the NO Cold ~ emotional contagion. We become the average of the five people we spend most of time with. That we associate with. Spend time with people who are happy for no reason.

Zig Ziglar

By the time I got to Zig’s videos I was happily adlibbing along the way. Sorry

Can one help a negative Nellie? Drama … problem seekers … want to be negative Nellie’s. The people who complain the loudest are usually the ones who ARE the problem? Negativity breeds negativity. There is no other way to say it It has gotten to the point me, myself will actually go about shaking it off the cycle of negativity MUST end.

Do IT … If someone isn’t willing to DO something first, nothing will be done. You MUST do step number one, before you can do step number two.

The person WITH the problem – if THEY do not take that first step – no matter HOW bad the problems seem to be, or the person seems willing to change it – the person does NOT WANT to change the situation.

The eyes are the window to the soul. Look deep into your eyes in the mirror and say your affirmatives into the eyes of you. Morning, Noon & Night … and if you get a chance to sneak an extra one or two in ~ WHOOOO HOOO !!!

Before bed – I love *~* because … and go through the list looking into and through the window of your soul (eyes)

In the morning before starting the day again look into the window of your soul and say your affirmative statements again FEEL These as your truth with passion and excitement and just the first 24 hours will uncover miracles.

Everybody sells – EVERYBODY. Unless one is a hermit and the only one they interact with is themselves (they are still selling them self How and why? Who knows – but time is the most precious of commodity.

No one changes except YOU. Self talk is the worst talk. How to stop self talk … ooohhh good article to research and write

Seems kinda strange one of my domain names IS EverybodySells I love it when a plan comes together, even if I have been like Fry and been asleep for a thousand years

Gratitude – the healthiest of ALL human emotions is gratitude.
