Living Skills For Human Excellence & Success | The Human Life Map | The Secret Path Of Life

I guess you’ve tried just about everything. I think you’re right perhaps you should just give up and stop making an effort. I mean, why bother?

Is that your reasoning? I certainly hope not, but you might be surprised to find out how many people do give up.

After years of struggle and setbacks they simply stop trying to make progress. They accept the status quo as normal and only want to maintain a level playing field.

Without initiative and the vision of a better future your motivation is squashed and you are ultimately doomed to a redundant trial and error life path that doesn’t support a stable or abundant lifestyle.

Even worse, your children are first hand witness to the entire pattern. After a few years they accept your patterns as normal and begin to shape their thoughts and patterns in your image.

This doesn’t have to be! You have the ability to change immediately and without the help of anyone. The first and most important step you have already completed.

Being aware that the situation exists.

You are alive in case you hadn’t noticed. That process consists of getting up every morning and living. Nature doesn’t care if you lead a full life it only dictates that you think and breathe. The only functional requirements are those of the human body.

And some people take it right to the limit. They barely function. They hardly move other than fulfilling the basic needs of eating, sleeping and going to the bathroom. Life has become nothing more than a biological process keeping them in front of a television or table of food.

Others pretend to live while they are waiting for some amazing future moment when they can finally be free to live. They want to retire. The years dedicated to the work effort are simply shunned off and passed by. These people want to squeeze a lifetime into their last few remaining years.

In fact, there are many people that never make it to the retirement years because of sickness, injury or unforeseen circumstances. Their living experience is cut short before they get to that golden promise of retirement happiness.

So what is the answer to living? Do it now!

Living is what occurs every morning when you awake. You don’t have to wait for a certain amount of money, or personal circumstances or retirement. You are free right now to create the living experience that represents you to the public.

Then there’s fear. Most people have it some more than others. The same fear that causes you to hesitate before doing something may be paralyzing to another. There are a great many people that are afraid of losing, rejection or perceived failure and also some that fear success and the demands, changes and exposure it might bring.

Guess what? Here’s an interesting fact we observed over the years. Most people never notice other people in this ocean of humanity unless you exhibit either very poor results or very good results. They notice the extremes of the living scale.

The public notices people that commit crimes or have such poor living skills that they stand out from the general public. People also pay attention to those that exhibit the traits of the highly refined and wealthy. The average people in the middle seem to pass by almost unnoticed.

That means if you choose to stay in a state of poor results you are more likely to be noticed for those characteristics than you would be if you made an effort to improve. Which side of the scale would you rather be known for?

Personally, I choose the quality living side. Get up, get cleaned up, dress for success and start exploring the living process for what it truly is and not for some opinion of what it means to you.

Children naturally enjoy the living experience. It’s all they have! They don’t understand the demands, jobs, retirement and other factors that cloud the thinking of adults. All children know is that they are alive and exploring and enjoying the living experience as much as possible. They don’t dread getting up in the morning and they don’t crawl off to bed at night beaten by the experiences of the previous day.

Recapture the child that still lives within you. Grasp living for what it is…a process. Spread your influence out to others without fear of rejection, failure or success. It is you, it is life and if others don’t find that appealing, so what?

One of my favorite quotes is “Living Better is Living Smarter”, but there are times when “Living Better is Simply Living at All”.

Every morning is a blank canvas. Your decisions, motivations and actions are the colors. What are you going to paint for others to see in your living experience today?

Would you like more money? Believe it or not you may be afraid of money. Many people are and simply don’t realize it.

Recently, I asked for a show of hands from people seeking knowledge in money making and business improvement tips.

First, I asked how many people wanted to make more money. Almost every hand went high into the air. Ok, now how many want to double their current income? Most hands stayed up.

How many want a million dollars? Some of the hands went down. Ten million? One hundred million? The hands steadily went down. Finally, I asked how many people had a written plan with measurable objectives to achieve those financial goals. Two hands…

People want more money. They want the possessions and good times money can afford. They want to provide their family with a better lifestyle, but in most cases people are afraid of money.

No, they don’t realize it. They truly think they are focused on financial improvement, but mostly their thoughts are nothing more than wishes for more money in a very general manner. They are truly seeking small improvements in the pattern of income already established.

Some even have a rejection of money. “Money is the root of all evil” is a common statement. Well, then go home and be good yet broke. Money isn’t the root of evil. The improper use of money along with unacceptable social and legal direction is the source of evil thoughts and deeds.

When I asked individuals if they thought they would ever have ten million dollars in assets most replied NO. They had become accustomed to living day to day barely scraping by within the confines of a fixed range of salary. They wanted more, but only mentally accepted that the more would come in small chunks over a long period of time.

Not only must you focus your mind on the accumulation of wealth, but it is imperative that you actually accept the concept of having money in large amounts. Thinking small causes your mind to seek out small improvements.

Your brain cannot direct you toward opportunities or even be open to those opportunities unless you first accept that it is possible and probable that you must and will have money in much larger amounts than the average salary.

It’s also not just a money focus. Most of my sports, acting or musical clients focus on winning championships, awards or being the best at what they do. Their accepted focus is becoming the top of their profession and the money comes with achieving those levels of performance.

Money and results are connected in business. Some keep track by their accomplishments or the accolades of their peers and others measure success by the paycheck returned.

Senior business executives think in returns, profits and growth. They think large and they reap large returns. Not long ago one executive moved into a company and after a term of less than a year he left with a severance package of many millions of dollars.

This was NORMAL to him and the company that paid the income and benefits. However, I heard strong rejection from the “average” people that heard the story. “How could any one man be worth that much in such a short time?” was the response from those still struggling with low salaries.

These people were suffering from small thinking. They had never actually been involved with income or business agreements that encompass millions of dollars and they simply couldn’t wrap their comprehension around the concept of such a contract.

If you think this sounds totally material perhaps you should reexamine your thoughts about money, influence and power. Perhaps you are naturally limiting your results through your thought patterns regarding money.

The people I confronted in that meeting were stunned at how drastically they were limiting their drive for abundance. They felt normal and many had been following those thought patterns for many years. Not one had ever considered that their own thoughts might be holding them back because they internally wanted more money so badly.

Wanting more is too general. It’s not specific enough for your mind to work with. Sit down today and decide once and for all how much is enough. How much is the goal you truly desire and then let your mind do what it does best which is start to formulate direction toward the accepted goals.

She struck a chord in the hearts of millions as she sang and she continues to time and again. Susan Boyle is popular because she is a natural talent.

Since her debut on Britain’s Got Talent she has been thrust into the limelight in a way that few people can easily handle physically, mentally or emotionally.

Her natural ability to sing reminds those viewers that “anyone” can make it if you simply don’t give up. Susan held on to her dream right up to the point that the media and celebrity exposure began to infringe on her personal world.

Why did she have some issues? Because she had not had the opportunity to toughen herself to fame and the demands of celebrity. I have seen many buckle under the pressure and demands.

Will she be fine? I think so. She just needs time to decompress and absorb what has and is still happening to her. It can be truly overwhelming. I have seen people I have worked with over the years want fame and fortune so badly and then when it finally happened the wave of celebrity was almost too much to bear until the person gets acclimated to such a lifestyle.

This is especially true when one becomes popular almost overnight.

Fame can be a most insidious creature. It’s what you want most and often what you eventually run away from seeking shelter, quiet and peace of mind.

And of Susan’s last performance? The look on Simon’s face said it all…

I believe it was a terrible decision to sing the same song again for two reasons.

First, the song would have been a great closer, but she needed it as the perfect song to capture the eyes and ears of the world. By using it again she left the impression that her depth was not there as a performer.

Secondly, she had set a benchmark during that performance weeks ago to equal or better. By providing the same song again she set herself up. Now, she would be judged by a previous performance. A performance that was brilliant and the benchmark of the world.

If you watched her sing she was good, but the rendition was not as dynamic as the original performance. I think that is reflected in Simon’s face during the latter stages of the song.

He wanted and expected more and didn’t get it.

She had the courage to come back and sing, but the result wasn’t what he expected from a person with the chance to win it all that night.

Susan is an amazing talent that simply needs to “ripen on the vine” a little more before we pick it. She needs coaching and support and the time to develop mental toughness toward the demands of being a performer and celebrity.

I’ve seen many artists and performances over the years and I still believe that her original performance was one of the greatest natural auditions if not the best, certainly that I have seen.

My hat’s off to Susan and her amazing several months of hair raising adventure.

Just a quick note to let our readers know that I was right in my thoughts about tabloid mentality.

The Casey Anthony Naked Pictures post was read 437 times more ( updated 4/8/09 ) than any other post relating to family and living quality. Why?

Hummm…

What is that telling you about the quality of the thought patterns of this society?

Every day seems to bring more shocking news than the day before. Today has been no exception as the headlines are ablaze with one unbelievable story after another.

Are you becoming numb to the onslaught of violent and poor human quality exhibited in recent breaking news?

A mother rapes her daughter’s 14 year old friend, a man dressed as Santa kills nine people on Christmas Eve at a holiday party and now even Lee Anthony, brother of accused murderer Casey Anthony may even face charges.

Now more than ever people need to look deep inside for strength and stability. The pressure of a slow economy, job loss and the violent trend in attitude is fuel for imbalanced thought and reaction.

Our young people need us more than ever right now. They need real answers, real direction and effective guidance instead of empty promises or being ignored.

Instead the focus seems to be on what is politically correct and hollow endeavors that occupy our time and make us feel good without improving society.

I sincerely believe that we as responsible adults can truly make a difference. That we can be uplifting and inspirational to the youth that will be our future leaders. These crimes are the result of adults gone wrong.

Adults that for one reason or another either strayed from the proper path of quality living or formed their thought and decision processes improperly.

The skill of the parent is reflected in the quality of the child and the adult that results from that child. It is our responsibility to provide quality direction to developing children and also to be accountable in identifying and responding to imbalanced development in young adults.

Of course there will always be the exception to the rule, but the current pattern of violent crime and poor human decision doesn’t need to continue.

Make it your goal in life to elevate the quality of your living skills. Not just New Year’s resolutions, but real improvement in who you are and what you stand for. Raise your Human Thermostat and seek to improve the quality of your vales, principles and morals.

See your children through to adulthood and set the very best example possible each and every day. For it is through your example that children learn their most lasting lessons.

Breaking news that will stun you to the core if you only stop to think about what it means to this society and the safety of your family. The Caylee Anthony situation is much more than you realize.

People are we all going completely mad or what?

The news is simply full of stories that reflect how imbalanced and unstable those around us are becoming.

Casey Anthony is only the tip of the imbalanced iceberg. There are children from 8 to 18 shooting and killing their schoolmates and parents. How about the ex-state trooper who decided to shoot innocent people at traffic lights in Texas.

Now there are the stories of a man dressed in a Santa suit who decides to go on a murderous rampage at a Christmas Eve party and another man who calmly walks up the street to the local playground and beats two young boys to death with a metal baseball bat.

All this while we here at my offices practically beg people to IMPROVE their living skills.

It is imperative, no absolutely REQUIRED that we teach our children quality living skills and thought patterns and that we reject the current patterns of violence and indifference so often fostered in commercial games, videos and music.

The shocking truth is that Casey Anthony is nothing more than a reflection of more to come from other children as they bring into reality the poor decisions and actions lingering just below the surface of their thoughts.

Almost every day I am confronted by parents that tell me they don’t need the advice. They are doing just fine or that nothing is wrong only to call me a day, week or few months later crying the blues over a child or family member in trouble, injured or even dead.

We do need to change, radically and we need to change NOW.

I challenge you to make a difference instead of turning away again and ignoring the issue with indifference and denial. Alter the course of your family and children before it is simply too late for any of us to help.

I am practically begging you to make the change. Accept help from one of our Certified Private Life Mentors or even take the training and graduate into a profession as a CPLM.

Help yourself and others before you and your spouse become the parents of the next Casey Anthony or worse.

Please, please don’t turn away seeking out more entertaining tabloid news instead of learning from yesterday’s mistakes made by someone else. Don’t leave this message and move on claiming that it doesn’t apply to you or your family.

If you don’t think it can happen to your family you are DEAD wrong. None of the victims in the crimes described above throught it would happen to them or even saw it coming.

Pay attention, learn and live a better and safer lifestyle of happiness and fulfillment.

I am begging, pleading with you to listen and learn now!

I am appalled by this news and quite frankly I believe the rest of America will also be as soon as they have a moment to digest it. This smacks all Americans in the face no matter your choice of political affiliation.

A new message, supposedly from Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda’s number two man ridiculed Barack Obama and his views and warned him “that a heavy legacy of failure and crimes awaits” him.

It doesn’t matter if you actually voted for Barack Obama or even agree with all of his opinions and agenda the fact remains that he will be our next President and in such he represents our nation and all of the people of the United States.

Personally, I was never more proud of our nation than the weeks following September 11, 2001 when I could walk out of my front door and see flags waving in the breeze throughout the neighborhood. We the people had united not during some riveting news story in the media, but because our country, our way of life had been attacked.

This shocking Obama revelation suddenly brought that feeling back. That our President Elect and for all intents and purpose that I as an American had been verbally assaulted by Ayman al-Zawahiri and the group he represents.

People this is a time of instability and weakness in our country. Our stock markets are unstable, the economy and business structure is weakened and this is exactly what groups like this want. They will use these weak times to their advantage if they can find a way and believe me they are looking for a way.

Now is the time to return to that state of unification when we placed flags outside every home and stood together for the common cause of a stronger nation. Look outside your home right now. How many flags are displayed? Not quite like the weeks after September 11th is it?

Now is the time to put down petty political party affiliations and support the person that was elected to represent us. This is the time to stand up to the global bullies and say, no more! We have been strong and we will be again. If you believe in this message then pass it along to your friends and family.

Barack Obama doesn’t deserve these inflammatory remarks and neither do we.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Thanks so much to Leonard Padilla and Rob Dick for stopping by our site. Wish I’d had a chance to say hi and thanks for the efforts. We only hope our words or your efforts will help find missing Caylee Anthony.

I noticed this morning that Renegade Investigations the Official Investigation Forum of Leonard Padilla and Rob Dick who are searching for Caylee Anthony came by our main blog and checked us out.

We have a large readership of concerned people and only hope our continued support to finding Caylee will help in some way.

People we need to find this little girl if at all possible.

Now I know that some have issues with the way Leonard does things, but he IS still looking. Give him enough time and money and I believe he will find this child.

These people need our support. The mother is in jail, the grandparents aren’t actively searching so we the people need to give our support to those willing to devote their time, effort and money to this search.

Hats off to you Leonard and Rob. Keep looking and God speed in your efforts. With any luck perhaps you can bring this child back to her family for closure.

The news earlier had everyone buzzing about the possible discovery of the bones of Caylee Anthony. Now the story takes another twist and the heat turned up on searchers.

News coming out of Florida indicates that the bag of toys and bones found during the search for missing 3 year old Caylee Anthony was not connected to the case. There were no bones found at all.

In fact, law enforcement is up in arms because the find was leaked to the media before it was reported to officials investigating the case.

The search goes on for another day or so.

And to think that all of this could have been avoided if only the mother Casey Anthony would simply tell the truth for once in her life.
