A Perfect Storm of Personal Development Insight
.
“We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or anything else, a single overriding objective and make all other considerations bend to that one objective.” -Dwight Eisenhower 34th U.S. President
.
This is the first quote I received yesterday morning. This next quote is something I read from Dan Kennedy’s No B.S. Wealth Attraction for Entrepreneurs, the night before last.
.
“You don’t get what you (inherently) deserve. You get what you deliberately and intentionally attract, by who you are and also by what you think, say and do, and get others to do.” -Dan Kennedy
.
My interpretation of both of these quotes is that until you get clarity on what you desire your life to look like, you will continue to let considerations to derail you in your hap hazard pursuit of a better quality of life.
.
Not only is wealth attraction a deliberate thing based on Kennedy’s quote but everything in your life is. You’re a master of attraction, but maybe you’re attracting everything you don’t want, deliberately.
.
“Now wait a second Tony, you’re out of line buddy. I’m not deliberately creating (insert undesired results you’re currently experiencing here)”
.
Unfortunately you are.
.
If you don’t create the plan and fill in the gaps, someone or something else will and is. You may not be enjoying the results.
.
I can tell you form experience.

My Perfect Storm Confession
.
Let me prove it to you.
.
You see I got wind of this perfect day thing I’m about to share with you months ago. I sorta kinda did it. I mean I totally understood it but I didn’t totally do it. That’s the difference between knowing of it and knowing it. Knowledge and wisdom are two totally different things.
.
Wisdom is knowledge that you put into action. Ignorance on fire is still better than knowledge on ice.
.
Anyway I digress, by not following through on what I’m sharing with you today, I ended up hurting some people I care about. By indecision I had made a decision about who I was.
.
Even when you don’t decide something, you make a decision about who you are, and it reveals what you think and what you decided to do or not do. This shows up financially, spiritually, emotionally & physically in your life.
.
It was a painful lesson for myself and those involved but never the less it all happened and I’m responsible. I’ve become more conscious, as well as healing the wounds and making better decisions about what I think, who I am and what I do.
.
It’s all become deliberate at this point and it’s because in this particular area of my life, I’ve gotten clear and created my perfect day.
.
Can you reflect on the area’s of your life where some of this is showing up where you can take full responsibility?
.
Plan Your Perfect Day
.
Another marketer that I study gave me this idea and it’s working wonders in my life. It’s called “the perfect day.” You see if we live another 40 years we have exactly 14,900 more “days” till we’re in the history books.
.
So it’s only logical that the quality of those 40 years is made up of individual days. If you want a quality life you must create a quality day. So create your perfect day and work towards living it!
.
The tricky part is simply this. Putting in the time to CREATE IT. Take some time to plan out what your day would look like.
.
What would be the first thing you say to each other? What would your first activity in the morning be? What is for breakfast? Where do you live and what does it smell like in your home?
.
All of these things lead you to having an experience and if you think about it, as a kid you were all about experiences weren’t you? Have you ever smelled something before and instantly you were back in that place? It could be something you smelled as a kid and all of a sudden you’re 10 again. That was an experience.
.
What kind of amazing experience would you like to have right now?
.
You can design your perfect experience starting today. I’d give you more details on how to do this but I don’t want to create a letter from the marketers lawyers by giving away too many of his secrets.
.
Dan Kennedy doesn’t leave anything to chance. Your life is the sum of what you create. If you don’t create it, you allow someone or something else to create it. Your life is based on what you think, say & do and what you get others to do. Those are the sum of who you are.
.
Get others to do? Wait a minute, that sounds a lot like leadership to me or persuasion & influence. Those sound like worth while skills to learn if I want to “manifest” a life well lived.
.
Hmmmm.
.
What Must Bend
.
Listen there are a ton of self improvement guru’s and experts out there that tell you some of this very same stuff. Some of them follow the talk and a lot don’t. Kennedy I can tell you certainly does. If you read the book you can tell.
.
I believe you’re probably reading this because you’re looking for a new way. You’re looking for a way to wealth and you’re tired of doing what hasn’t worked.
.
It’s time to take full responsibility and quit looking for short cuts. The short cut is you and how soon you’re willing to hit this stuff head on.
.
All other considerations must bend to your objective and your objective is your perfect day. It’s yours, create it.
