Last night I was at my church service and the pastor mentioned how he had a severe heart attack whilst doing 70 on the m40, by God grace he survived. He realised how life is precious and he lives on the edge always pushing to hit new heights. His energy is amazing and would put of a lot of young people to shame.
Question how is a man of 64 has more energy and zest for life than many twenty year old-? My answer I believe is when you have stared death in the face and you get a second chance you don't want to waste it. When your young you feel that you have all the time in the world, but the truth is young or old this could be your last 24 hrs.
If this statement is true that maybe this is my last 24 hrs what do I way to do. Ensure i forgive those that I should of forgiven, say I love you to those I said I say it tomorrow, but my plans into action and dismissed the fears, spend more time with family and friends.
Truth is we all have a list and if this is
My last time on the earth let me be found doing every I should do and dreamed of doing

Environment
I've currently been working for a company that does not pay the highest salary. It does not have the corporate perks etc, BUT!!! it has something far more valuable that any of the for mentioned things.
What it does have is the chance to learn and to grow. I remember reading a book ( I had read many of the books) from Robert Kiyosaki entitled Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I highly recommend reading this book. (Check out the link for further information http://www.richdad.com/) In the book it stated never take up employment where you will not learn and grow. Never take a role based on the salary and perks otherwise you will end up broke. Many people take on a job solely for the money, especially in these times of financial hardship.
When reading the book I understood what he was saying but it not until you but the principle into action that you have fully appreciate why he said what he said.
I just spent 3-4 hours with the owner from the states (He is a lecturer, college professor and self made millionaire). The time I have spent with him learning what it takes to build a business, grow a business is invaluable. The lesson that I am learning in my role will help me build my business or career that will reap a reward far greater than the tens of thousands you can earn now.
There is a saying in the bible "do not be unevenly yoked". This means if you want to reach for the stars don't hang around people that are happy in the gutter. You may think that you are strong enough to raise above the environment and some can, but it far easier to put yourself in a environment that is already producing the life you desire. By being in the environment long enough you will find you become like those around you.
So by being around the owner I may never become a millionaire but I will never become someone who doesn't believe that great things can happen if you apply yourself.
So look at your life and think does my environment reflect my vision for my life. If not why not? Change your surrounding before it to late and you become the environment you do not want.
I should state I recently change church for this very reason. I needed to personally grow they where great people but I had a dream and realised I had to change my environment to reach my potential in Christ.

How to handle loss
I personal don't believe there is a magical way for a person to handle loss. Over the years I seen people handle it in different ways and all have found comfort in the end.
Some one I know family member is dieing of cancer, and because they not saved in Christ I found no words that could really encourage but to say my prays go with the family.
God doesn't want us to suffer great grief when a love one passes away but have great joy that the person has passed on to heaven. It funny that when a love one dies we all want them to go to heaven but when they are living we don't want them to practice the way that leads to eternal life. Strange but true.
My heart goes out to those that face a love one that is passing away and pray many will reflect on this life and realise we will all pass away at some point and let it not be to late to understand that their is a eternal life! The question is where do you want to spend it.

When you feel the world is against you
I had a fairly normal day until the later part and I had that feeling of feeling sorry for my self. I was reviewing people who had let me down and then you begin wishing you had a different up bring and a different life. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
The truth is no has a perfect life NO ONE. It what you do with that life is what counts. I was at a property meeting and Gill Fielding was the main speaker what a amazing person she is. ( I would advise to read her books or watch secret millionaire) But being around her for 1 hour is the slap in the face I needed to say get on with it denz. You will achieve your goals and purpose just keep dusting your self down and taking one step at a time and listening to inspiring people who have achieved success in the areas you want to succeed.
I realise the world is not against me, and even if it was that is not my biggest problem. The biggest enemy I must defeat is the old me. The bible states we are born again made new into his image. If I am the image of God and can only but achieve.

Pushing Through
Even with the greatest passion and drive we all have days when we just want to stay in bed.
I realise more and morethat for me to succeed in the vision I need to push through on the days when you want to quit.
Being human we are made up of emotions which means we will have up and down days the difference between those that succeed or fail is how we handle those bad days. For me I got to keep a eye on the goal and push our mind with positive news / information and motivation.
This why it is important that we surround ourselves with positive people and environment otherwise we will quickly get drawn into negative waters.

In the flickering of a eye
Recently so many people are sick including my father who has a collapsed lung. What this has highlighted is none of us know when are time is up or when our health will fall us.
Can any of us guarantee that tomorrow we will be alive or healthy. NO is the answer. With this in mid we should begin to appreciate the day that we have been given and treasure the opportunities that come our way.
But learn that we can only control the here and now and if we take care of today tomorrow will take care of its self. The bible verse state "do not worry about tomorrow as today has enough concerns of it own"
Live every day as the last and plan as if tomorrow is promised.

Good vs Evil
From the beginning of time we have had good vs evil. The problem today is
More and more better are choosing evil. Question why.
Easy money, crime pays, girls want a bad boy, biggest celebrates are no conformist taking drugs etc.
But the evil is this world never has brought joy. Drugs lead to death, crime leads to prison. Being a bad boy leads to paranoia. But evil will be the
Mass choice because it easy the easy road.
To remain true and righteous takes courage, boldness and faith. You have to against the grain and walk on the narrow path which can be a lonely place.
If you seek great success long term you must be happy walking on the narrow road.

My people die because of a lack of vision
Vision is so important. I spoke to a good friend today and he was lost, and it was so apparent not just in his conversation but in his tone and conduct.
I meet so many people like this that have no excitement about life even though they are young and live in a country of opportunity. Why is this? A lack of vision.
People with no vision perish and quickly. We must have a purpose it is the very thing that drives us. Have you ever wondered why some people can survive on 5 hours sleep and the next person needs 10, I personally believe it is vision. With no vision for the day there is no reason to awaken and chance the day.
I recently moved church and they have a vision and you can tell a church business, marriage, family that has no vision. My church has such a big vision that it causes me to get a vision even if a I didn't want one. If you are struggle to get a vision find a environment or people that are visionary and you will soon pick it up
I heard a great saying you can only achieve what the mind can conceive. Joyce Meyer

Difficult decision
Sometimes we have to make difficult decision in life that can change the course of life not only for me but also fit those around you.
When making decision it is important you make the right decision no matter how hard they are. Because the right decision will always have the right outcome. But that outcome might not always happen straight away.
Also when making decision we must also ensure we stick to our convictions and not be swayed by our emotions. I am learning doing the right can hurt ALOT, also doing the right thing can cause you to be unpopular but make the right decision anyway.
Recently I had to make a decision that really cut close to the heart. A decision that literally split families. But it was the right decision for all parties
To achieve any success in life requires tough decision that why not many people are successful.
