Two Worlds Inside of Us

Jump to Comments

If you think about it,  we really live in two worlds.  The outside and the inside of us.   The outside of us is what we Do and the inside is what we think and feel. What we do is a constant  distraction.

We start to think about really important things when we are in trouble.  Like in a hospital.   Or when all is quiet and we are in bed at night.  When there is no comupter,  no t.v. maybe even no one to talk to.

How do we  live our lives Better.  How do we remember each and every day is a gift and not a promise.

Because all things subside.  Everything comes and goes, everything you are doing now,  working on now , wont be as important in 5 years,  or 10 years.  Or 6 months.

What lasts?  What gives You Lasting Happiness.

Give yourself a little insight.  A little protection from the bombardment of info facts.  Give yourself some Inspiration so when the lights go off , the noise goes off, you remember the really important things of Life are not how many hits your website got. The guy who cut you off in traffic  Or a million other distracting thoughts.

There is a book called “Mans Search for Meaning”  and is written by a man who survived the concentration camps.  He says that a person is capable of finding moments of great joy even in the midst of the most horrible conditions imaginable.  Simply by recalling the memory of a loved one.

Well,  if he can find Joy in a concentration camp we can find a moment in our Day to search out and find a moment or two of real meaning in our lives.    www.inspirationscardsgifts.com

You can’t have a better better business, a better life, or better relationships until you have a Better YOU.

“We all leave behind a print upon the earth, the world will never be exactly the same without you in it.  Live your life as to leave behind a Good and Lasting Print”.  LaurieM

Over and over people have told me “what can YOU do ?” ” You can’t do anything about it.”   I believe everything starts with one person, one idea, one step forward.  Everything accomplished ends with many joining  that one person.

Get the right tools to improve yourself and get rid of bad emotional habits that prevent you from moving forward. 

Tools are used in any trade.  A roofer does not lay a roof with his bare hands.  He uses a hammer.  The better the Tool, the better the Results.  Life also requires the right tools.  Succcess, Happiness, a contented Life do not happen by accident.  It requires a little  investigation, effort and focus.  The good news is,  it  feels good.  The better news is I have researched Tools for you.

Take the 10 minute YOU break

Every day spend 10 minutes on making a better you.

1. Positive improvement
   Keep it simple.  A Book of Positive Quotes.  Small motivational books or pictures.  Sometimes a long book is overwhelming and too big to take on in these busy times.  A little bit spread throughout the day is better.
   Laugh a little.  Or a lot.
2. Healthy Habits
   Break the emotional bad habits you have.  Every time you think a negative thought, replace it with a positive one.  Immediately. Don’t put off the difficult and uncomfortable.  Do it, get it over with and move on.
   Keep a reminder around when ever you start with negative thoughts.
3. Helping someone else
   Can be as simple as saying something kind to someone or passing on good information or inviting  someone to lunch.  Giving money to large organizations is ok but does not require your effort.  I believe that to give it should be personal.
4. Research a topic and get a plan
   Whatever your passion is, there you should go.  If you cannot make a living from your passion, make it a hobby.  Sometimes you have to do in life the things you do not want to,  in order to what you want.
5. Above all..do not lose your integrity, your character, your honesty.  Live the best you know how, NOT  by following  those around you, but the voice inside of you.

3 Reasons People Can’t Cope with Life

Sometimes life just gets too serious…too busy…and too complicated. We don’t mean for it to happen, but we wake up one morning to discover the fun has slipped away.

A few years ago a health study determined there are 3 main reasons people can’t cope in life:
They live in the past.
 They have a low self-esteem.
 They can’t laugh at themselves.

 

Do you know someone you love to be around? Probably because they make you laugh. They are lighthearted and you just get a good feeling when you walk away from them. Then there are those that just make you feel stressed and you are glad you can walk away from them. Here is my advice, walk away.  And be the lighthearted person as much as you possibly can.  Learn to be more Happy.  Keep a few good books around that make you laugh or inspire you!

 I like to write.  Thoughts come to me at times so I write them down on whatever is near.  It’s a very strange thing that happens sometimes.  These little writings come to me out of the blue when I need them.  My eye  glances at a forgotten paper and there it is staring at me.  Reminding me to have faith or believe in myself or never give up.

Persist

Whatever we are trying to achieve, there will be difficulty and struggle.  Often we will want to give up.  Moments of doubt about
our success and  our abilites will creep in.
The one thing that will bring success more than any other is Persistance. 
Success Stops When You Do !  This may sound too simple.  But there is no other way up the mountain of success but to keep climbing until you get there.
There are many tools and help along the way.  Have a good and healthy mental attitude, a strong belief in what you are doing, the company you are promoting ,  the product you are selling, or the business you are starting.
Get the tools you need and Persist.  Persist even when you doubt. Persist when others doubt.

The Best Way Out Is Always Through
I always keep these motivational tools around for a time when I need them.  They help get me through the tough times, remind me that what I am doing is worthwhile and motivate me to persist through the hard times.
Laurie

Gift of Time

When we are children we don’t notice our
parents so much as feel them.  We just have
a safe and good feeling that they are there.
It’s not until later when we see them more
clearly as people and we understand the sacrifices
they made for us that we appreciate them.

The Best Gift we can give our children is TIME.
We don’t neccessarily have to be engaged with
them every second,  just BE THERE.  Just feel them.
I used to love to hear my parents just talking.  Simple
conversation that made me feel calm and safe. Or the
sound of mom in the kitchen washing dishes down the
hall as I drifted off to sleep.

Give the gift of  Time. 
Sincerely,
Laurie Marquez

Sky’s The Limit

It always inspires me to watch skateboarders learn tricks.  The determination is incredible. There are many failed attempts and falls to achieve one new trick . Once learned they don’t stop.  They continue to challenge themselves to greater and higher jumps and falls.  I cannot comprehend how they get their feet to flip a skateboard two times in mid air while jumping off a flight of stairs then land on it. They take much greater risk than you or I.  They risk thier bodies.  Their face on pavement.  We risk failure maybe, money.  But we sit behind desks and on the phone.  How scary is that.  Next time you are faced with a challenge and you find yourself at the top of the stairs looking down.  Remember the skateboarder and the challenge and the thrill of landing perfectly.  The Sky is the Limit.  It’s up to you

Joy.. remember that

Find it Again !  Why else work so hard.  Struggle so much,
if we can’t find a little Joy in life as well..

Pass it On !!

8 Common Habits of Millionares

Hard work, Integrity Never lie or Cheat, Honesty WORKS! and Focus.  Success Factors Have the courage to take financial risk.

Never allow a lacklustre academic record to stand in your way of becoming successful (Remember the drop out guys like Bill Gates? Toppers work for him!)

Learn to overcome defeat. (Keep your emotions away from Money! Give before you receive) 

Select a unique, profitable career.

Pick the one you love very carefully. Selecting a spouse is one of the single most important thngs you will do in life.  Be attracted by physical looks but be smart and make sure you are compatable. Your  spouse should have  complimentary characteristics.  This is very interesting – both of you should work like a team. For example, if you are in technically brilliant, he / she should be good in management/financial matters. If one is a dreamer, other should be a down-to-earth person.

Be economical. Try to repair / refurnish instead of buying new things.  And also, the millionaires spend very carefully.  Not only home. Everything they buy, they look for the value for money.  They plan to buy anything.  They watch each and every dime they spend

Balance your lifestyle. If you are in your company for 365 days – You will neither earn money nor earn your loved ones faith. If you became a millionaire after 20 years of hard work, there won’t be any time or anybody with you to enjoy the fruits!
