Hello everyone, this is a spur of the moment article I decided to write.
Why?
I just recently got a call from a family member about a youngster in our family. He was only 15 years, but he was committing crimes like he was in a burrough of Ney York.Long story short, this youngster died while trying to conduct an home invasion. The result is a dead man.

Now how can I take this incident and learn from it? The idea that immediately comes to mind is, 'life is to short'. I have already been moved in a positive way. I always knew that time is an illusion. We always think that we have more time. We have time to get back to spending time with the family. We can put off building our business, because we have more time.

This may be one of the most erroneous beliefs that we men carry. I say 'carry', because it is like carrying baggage. It slows you down! We procrastinate, and put off till' tomorrow what we can do today. Usually it is a small decision that we make, that seems like it will not matter.

But, the truth is, each time we choose to do one thing/think one thought, it has a tendancy to repeat itself. This is the nature of thought. Every thought has a tendancy to multiply and according to the law of attraction, attract other thoughts of like nature.

What does this mean?
Every thought and every action MATTERS!

Yes, you read right. It does matter. Every choice we make, has the ability to alter our destiny. At any given time, a thought, a choice and an action can change where you will end up 1 year from now. That is according to universal law.

You cannot escape the consequences of the choices you make, but you can make better choices.

But, when it is all said and done, it is not what you choose to do once that will really take you down a different road. It is the choices that you make consistently. It is the everyday choices that we make that make the biggest difference.

It is not the first cigarette that gets us in trouble, but the consistent choice to lite the cigarette over and over again, over the years.

It is not the first Big Mac that will lead to heart disease, but the consistent choice to eat a Big Mac for lunch everyday that gets you in trouble.

Here is an important fact to remember, Mind can only work according to patterns.You must consciously choose the patterns of thought you believe will take you to your CHOSEN DESTINY.

If you don't choose these patterns of thought, then the mind will take the path of least resistance. It will keep repeating the same old thoughts that have brought you where you are now. I am of course assuming that you wish to go somewhere other than where you are now.

How much time do you have to reach your Definite Major Purpose in life?
I will answer that one for you, You don't really know! Just like my 15 year old cousin.

How do you bring the passion and intensity to your life NOW?
First things first, become aware of the fact that you may not be here tomorrow.

Secondly, live your life with that kind of urgency and interest. Make your life to order, now. When do you sit down and think about these things?The time is always NOW!

If I were to pass you on the street and ask you what time is it, what would you tell me? You would give me the time NOW. Why? Because, there is only one time that really matters, NOW.

There is really no existence in the past or the future. They are only ideas in our minds! Let them go. Free your mind of this one limitation/ belief and you will change your life in an instant.

The time is now. And if not now, when?
