			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How was your day?  If the answer is &#8220;fine&#8221;, or anything similar then I doubt you are living your purpose in this life.</p>
<p>What is your purpose?</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t already know the answer to this one, then I can&#8217;t tell you, but it&#8217;s something you definitely need to figure out&#8230; immediately!!  Life is too short to waste time on things that don&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>If you do know what it is, then why aren&#8217;t you living it?  What&#8217;s holding you back?<br />
Fear of?<br />
Fear of?<br />
Fear of?</p>
<p>Do you see the problem with this?  This is why our days are filled with just fines, and it&#8217;s ok&#8217;s&#8230;<br />
instead of the greats! and the best day evers!</p>
<p>Have the courage to follow your heart and do what you love&#8230; if you don&#8217;t know how to make a living from what you love yet, don&#8217;t worry about it.  Start doing what you love anyway and the doors will be opened.</p>
<p>Paths are made by people who are walking, people who are in motion&#8230; if everyone waited for the path to appear we would never have any paths at all.  So get walking!<strong>Similar Posts:</strong>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong><em>Do what you love -&gt; get good at it -&gt; share your talent to create value for others -&gt; receive value in return -&gt; do more of what you love.</em></strong></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong><em>Since many people are worried about the economy, there&#8217;s greater demand and more opportunities for people who aren&#8217;t worried.</em></strong></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong><em>If you have trouble discovering what you love, start by dropping from your life that which you don&#8217;t love. Purge the wrong answers first.</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong><em>If you love doing X, then do X. Don&#8217;t do things you dislike because you think it will give you the chance to do X. Just do X. No excuses.</em></strong></p>

</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong><em>If you love helping people heal, you can start doing that today&#8230; long before you graduate from med school. Again, dump the excuses. </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Christ told us that our bodies were a Living Temple, a place wherein God could reside.  Let&#8217;s use this as an example for our goals in this life.</p>
<p><strong>1. Are our goals living or dead?</strong></p>
<p>Consider what you want in life, is the end goal worth having?  Is it alive, will it bring vibrancy and light to your life?  What good is it to have everything you ever wanted, only to find out that the price you paid to get there was too great?  If you&#8217;re not happy on the path to your Happiness, then you&#8217;re probably on the wrong path.  Make sure what you want is indeed, what you want.</p>
<p><strong>2. What is our Blueprint?</strong></p>
<p>As any builder can tell you, if you don&#8217;t know what the building is supposed to look like, then you can&#8217;t build it.  Who or what are you modeling your goals after?</p>
<p>This is not the place to be cheap or modest&#8230; Shoot for the moon here.  Find the best at what you want and devour everything you can find about them and what they did to achieve the thing you want.  An example&#8230; if you want to be successful in real estate, don&#8217;t model yourself after the agent from Century 21, model yourself after Donald Trump&#8230; if you want to play in the NBA, don&#8217;t model yourself after your high school coach, model yourself after Michael Jordan.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t mistake what I&#8217;m saying though, you can still learn a lot from the high school coach and the local real estate agent, in fact, that&#8217;s a great place to start, but what I&#8217;m saying is pick a Blueprint of Perfection for whatever goal you may have.</p>
<p><strong>3. How is a Temple built?</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where most people fall away&#8230; It&#8217;s built one stone at a time.  You create your body one cheeseburger or one vegetable at a time&#8230; you wanna know why people are dying all around you?  Because they eat flesh that is dead&#8230; and as we all learned as children, you are what you eat, and one dead stone after another, they have  created a temple of death around them.</p>
<p>In the same way, you create your goal one step or mini-goal at a time.  You&#8217;re not going to become a millionaire, or an enlightened being, or an amazing lover and spouse and parent overnight.  Some people are able to work faster than others.  It depends on where you are when you begin.  Some have more natural resources than you might&#8230; which is why there&#8217;s no time like right now to begin.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong>

<p>It begs the question, what&#8217;s really going on here?&#8230;</p>
<p>They&#8217;re giving away millions of tax payers dollars&#8230; enough to where they could give every person in the US a million dollars each, and why isn&#8217;t that money going to the people?</p>
<p>Well my brother has argued that if everyone were suddenly millionaires, no one would work, and inflation would be insane&#8230; and that may be true, but let&#8217;s think for a moment about what we would all do if money wasn&#8217;t king&#8230; if we all didn&#8217;t need money.</p>
<p>My counter argument to this is why not pay out the million dollars to each US citizen as monthly payments, in such an amount as to keep everybody working (which is really all this is about, keeping us enslaved to money)&#8230;</p>
<p>Or why don&#8217;t we pay off everyone&#8217;s personal debt with the bailout money?  The system would come crashing down that&#8217;s why&#8230;  All the little worker bees (that&#8217;s you and me) would suddenly be free&#8230;  Oh no! what&#8217;s going to happen to the honey production?  How will our hives get built?  What about the Queen?  Who&#8217;s going to protect, and provide, and feed her?</p>
<p>We are not a Hive species&#8230; we can be if we want, but I think we are all happiest when we are who we were created by God to be&#8230; and that is the Children of God.. literally, sons and daughters of the Creator and independently Sovereign Beings.  Sovereign, do you remember what that word means?  Are you beginning to remember what it feels like?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since we were domesticated into what we are today&#8230;  Let&#8217;s face the sad truth that most of us couldn&#8217;t even feed ourselves if we wanted to.  We think food comes from a store, or a plastic bag.  We think of Nature as being dirty, and a harsh environment&#8230; something to be scrubbed off of us as soon as we get back out of it.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s consider where we are right now in Human existence, which is at a cross roads&#8230;  will we continue down our path which has us heading for worse environmental conditions&#8230; to the point where we could end up with an environment like the moon, or Mars, and we would all be living in giant malls (which some marketer would probably call a space station or some such thing)&#8230; or will we clean up our environment and work with it to create a Garden of Eden on the earth?  We possess the technology (i.e. knowledge + tools) to do both, and we&#8217;re at a beautiful place to choose which path we all want to head down.</p>
<p>We have to help wake people up so that they can choose for themselves instead of having the advertisements choose for them.  A pattern interrupt, if you will.  Talk with people, friends, family&#8230; don&#8217;t be scared to discuss the path that Humanity is on.  And together, we can create for ourselves The Golden Path, without the need for a Tyrant like Leto to do it for us <img src='http://johnkowalsky.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> <strong>Similar Posts:</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a world that is over saturated with everything&#8230; from music, to the internet, to cars, to you-name-it&#8230; How can you make what you do stand out?</p>
<p>My good friend, Universo Pereira, of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/redcarpetrats" target="_self">Red Carpet Rats</a>,  and I were discussing this in a round about way the other night&#8230;  There are a million different companies all trying to sell the same thing, so what is it that makes the various products stand out?</p>
<p>For sure, one of the main things is marketing&#8230; how the product is sold and to whom, and all that&#8230; But let&#8217;s talk about the other main thing&#8230;  Because marketing can still be duplicated, so what really sets you apart?  How you make the product and why.</p>
<p><strong>Reasons for Creation</strong></p>
<p>Why are you creating this product (whatever it may be)?  Look at your motivating factors.</p>
<p>Sure, money is going to be in there somewhere, but how high is it on your list?  Chances are if it was the first thing out of your mouth, then you might experience some problems standing out from the crowd.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t believe there&#8217;s anything wrong with doing something just for the money, providing your happy doing it, and it&#8217;s not illegal or harming anyone else&#8230;  The only problem I see with it, is <strong>That&#8217;s what everybody else is doing too!</strong></p>
<p>Not to mention, what happens if you don&#8217;t end up with the money you wanted?  If you&#8217;re creating your product for the right reasons, then you&#8217;re still happy no matter how much money you have.</p>
<p><strong>Stop chasing the money and let the money come to you</strong></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t break the invisible hold that the desire for money has on you, then you will be a slave to it for the rest of your life.  This is why millions of people around the world hate their lives: because they hate their jobs.  But they keep going to work so they can have money, because after all, that&#8217;s all they are after in the first place and subconsciously they know it and that&#8217;s why they can&#8217;t respect themselves, and who can like someone they can&#8217;t respect?</p>
<p>So how do you do this?</p>
<p>You do something that you would be happy doing, even if you never got rich doing it.  And you focus more on giving value and providing service, than on making money.</p>
<p>Money comes as a result of providing value to people&#8217;s lives, and it will set you apart from the crowd that is only chasing that quick buck.</p>
<p>Even if your products are exactly the same, the one created with joy and happiness and a desire to give the buyer&#8217;s life value will stand out in the sea of consumerism.</p>
<p><strong>True Love is rare, and that&#8217;s how you don&#8217;t get drowned out!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As most of us learned at a young age, there are certain physical laws that seem to govern the running of the cosmos.  One of those laws is that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.</p>
<p><strong>Inertia</strong></p>
<p>An object in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force.  Again just a variation of action/reaction, but Inertia can be a wonderful thing if it&#8217;s applied to your life in a positive manner.</p>
<p>Another way to state the law of inertia would be to say that once the big ball gets rolling, it&#8217;s fairly easy (requires little energy) to keep it rolling.  Now replace the big ball with success in your life.  Once you get success going for you, it&#8217;s a chain reaction, and success just seems to happen all by itself.  It requires hardly any energy to keep going, as opposed to the energy it took to get going in the first place.  Remember how we talked about people are attracted to <a href="http://johnkowalsky.com/2008/10/23/baby-steps-to-success/" target="_self">success</a>?</p>
<p><strong>Action Vs. Re-action</strong></p>
<p>I believe one of the major reasons, that people never get what they want in life is because they never take the time to think actively or do actively or anything actively.  Everything starts with a thought though, so let&#8217;s start there too.</p>
<p>How much time you spend thinking actively, as opposed to reactively?  How much time do you waste contemplating the thoughts of someone else?  This is how the masses can be led around like sheep, by advertising, and &#8216;leaders&#8217;, it&#8217;s because no one thinks for themselves, and the system is set up to keep you from doing just that.</p>
<p>All day long you&#8217;re bombarded with things that you react to, but do you spend anytime or energy doing some acting of your own?  What are you uniquely contributing to humanity?</p>
<p><strong>So here&#8217;s the homework for today <img src='http://johnkowalsky.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p>You want success?  If it doesn&#8217;t directly contribute to your ability to act on what you want, then stop reacting to it.  All the distractions that you think make up who you are&#8230; just leave them right where you find them or take action to keep them from happening again.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like a dog that just won&#8217;t leave you alone&#8230; I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve had this happen to you before, you&#8217;re sitting down, relaxing, watching a movie or talking with friends and the dog wants attention.  So he takes action, he goes over to you and starts licking your hand, or gently biting it in the way that most dogs do when they want something.  The thing is, you don&#8217;t want to give attention to the dog, you want to continue doing what you were doing.  Now you can do one of two things&#8230; You can act or you can react.</p>
<p>Ignoring the dog will usually work (this would be not-reacting which is a form of action when consciously done), but patience is required and for sake of argument, let&#8217;s say this dog is very persistent.</p>
<p>You can give in and pet the dog, but all this does is make the dog want more, and so all of a sudden you have a bigger drain on your energy.</p>
<p>Or you can take action that will prevent the dog from interrupting you (training him to lie down and not beg for attention or putting him outside)  Whatever the fix might be, taking action  and not reacting, is the only way to make sure that you don&#8217;t end up doing the dog&#8217;s bidding as opposed to your own.</p>
<p>So spend a few minutes every day when you wake up, thinking actively about what you want, and if it doesn&#8217;t bring a smile to your face and joy and peace to your heart, then what you want isn&#8217;t worth having, or you&#8217;re in it just for the money which will never make you happy or content.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everybody knows that Nature is constantly changing seasons, changing shapes, changing colors.  I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot more lately, which has been an amazing change for me.  Now I&#8217;m not talking about the worrying that most people consider to be thinking&#8230; the what-do-I-have-to-do-today kind of thinking, but actual creative thought.  The peace and joy and love that have flowed into my life as a result have been, well, as you might imagine, wonderful.</p>
<p>What about you though?  Are you happy?  Be honest.  If you aren&#8217;t, then why aren&#8217;t you?  Why do we do things (like our jobs) that we don&#8217;t want to do?  Some people might call this lying.  This was just one quick example, but is it any wonder why we find it so hard to be happy in our technocratic world?  We lie to ourselves first and foremost, and then somehow expect ourselves to be happy with ourselves?  What have the Sons and Daughters of God done to themselves?  Why is it that Man feels helpless, powerless, and miserable?</p>
<p>Is it time for a change?  Time to take back what is rightfully ours?  Time to be free.  Free from the worries of money, food, clothing, shelter&#8230; Free from jobs that you hate, and a purposeless life.  Free from selling your children into the same slave producing lifestyle that has us weighed down beneath a pile of debt, all because we&#8217;ve let ourselves believe that we need this car, or that house.  Man was meant to be more than a Consumer of products from a lifeless society.</p>
<p>God gave Man all of creation, and all we&#8217;ve managed to do with it is rip it apart and create inferior mechanical versions of it that constantly break down and rob us of our time and joy.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time for Man to realize that what we&#8217;ve been given (Everything) is already perfect.  We don&#8217;t need to &#8220;fix&#8221; or &#8220;invent&#8221; anything to help us be happy.  Our only requirement is Co-creation and the enjoyment of its contemplation.</p>
<p>Think about it&#8230; It&#8217;s time for a change.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Talkers!  Everybody knows at least one of them.  They flap their gums all day long without ever managing to say much of anything.  You might even be one of them.  I know I was.</p>
<p>I was the kind of person who would go on and on about what I really wanted to do with my life, while at the same time whining and complaining about how my life really was.  I knew all about what I didn&#8217;t want, and I even began to think and talk about what I did want.</p>
<p>I would get all excited about what I was going to do and I would talk to my friends about it, and then a few days later my excitement would be gone, along with whatever momentum and motivation I might have had.  Does this sound familiar?  Do you know someone like this?  Is this someone maybe, You?  Don&#8217;t worry if it is.  The solution is fun and simple:        <strong>Do Something!</strong></p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you don&#8217;t know everything you need to yet&#8230;  just do something, <strong>Do Anything<em> </em></strong>but sit there and talk and think about what you want to do.  It&#8217;s called the <strong>Ready, FIRE!, Aim</strong> method.  At some point you will need to take aim, but start doing something today.  Do that thing you&#8217;ve been putting off, or start writing that book you&#8217;ve been talking about.  Start your online business, or begin getting in shape and feeling good about yourself.</p>
<p>A good attitude and outlook, and healthy, powerful thoughts are necessary, but if you never take any action then the Universe will never manifest what you want.  The other part of the Secret that no one ever talks about is <strong>Action! </strong>For instance, have you ever noticed that when you&#8217;re busy doing something, you don&#8217;t have time to be un-Happy.  It&#8217;s when you&#8217;re sitting around doing nothing that you want to do that un-happiness occurs.</p>
<p>In his book <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Youre-Broke-Because-You-Want/dp/1592403344" target="_blank">You&#8217;re Broke Because You Want To Be</a>, </em><a href="http://www.larrywinget.com" target="_blank">Larry Winget</a> says, &#8220;What you say you want means almost nothing.  When every action you make contradicts your words, your words don&#8217;t mean a damn thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Words do have power.  What you say does matter, but unless you are a person of Action, your words are robbed of their power to change lives. If you&#8217;re not acting in accordance with your desires, than any actions you are taking are contradicting what you want.  And what do you think speaks louder to the Universe?  Actions or Words?   So by all means, talk and dream and think, but do something, any thing at all&#8230;  The river will flow all by itself, you just have to jump in it.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of us have heard of the scripture where Christ refers to himself as, The Way, The Truth, and The Life.  As a young boy, I became fixated on this idea.  I began searching out what this Way entailed.  In my journey, I&#8217;ve been led through various religions, beliefs, mindsets, and all sorts of wack-jobs, and kooks, most of them claiming to be the end-all-be-all of whatever they were trying to sell.  In the end, I&#8217;ve found that there is no end.  The Way is not a destination, it&#8217;s a path, a journey if you will.  To that end, I have created <a title="home page" href="http://www.johnkowalsky.com" target="_blank">johnkowalsky.com</a> to share what I have found and will find.  In the hope, that maybe I can help someone else along on their journey of Self Evolving.  It will be a broad experience, as life too covers a multitude of topics.  Stay tuned for regular updates and if there is a topic you&#8217;d like to see addressed please send your requests to john@johnkowalsky.com  Thank you dear Reader, I shall see you soon. <strong>Similar Posts:</strong>
