The Purpose Of Life Is To Have A Life Purpose — AffiDavids
In 1973 I started on a fast which has lasted to the present time. That makes it 38 years on a regime that has rewarded me with good health, great financial benefits and a foundation of financial well being that could not have been created any other way. I will be speaking on this system of fasting from paying retail prices on Tuesday, April 5, 2011 at the Abe Lee Toastmasters Club.
Creating A Muli-Option Life
Your life is a composition of millions of choices you make to create the life that you have. When you perceive multiple options for you health, wealth and love arenas of life, you become empowered and make wise choices. When you perceive living a “no choice” life that you have been dealt, you become powerless and may make poor choices. Create a life of many choices for each of the health, wealth & love arenas and your will live a life of purpose and power.
The Power of Frugality
Many people are struggling with finances with the economic downturn. As a “frugalist” (one who embraces frugality), I wonder if they had been a frugalist too if that would have made any difference in their financial situation now. Being debt free has been one of the most powerful experiences of my life. After I went through the $2 million seminar with my former wife, I began to see clearly that my finances were a creation of my money choices and my money choices were triggered by my money mindset. I will be writing more about this in the weeks ahead and plan to write something daily to help those who are open to a new way of interfacing with money – making, spending & saving. Stay tuned as my goal is to present these ideas in a gentle but clear fashion that will open to your minds to a new way of thinking and living.

The power of giving
Giving is powerful. Many people will attempt to prevent you from taking, yet no one can stop you from giving as much as you wish.Give, and you increase the value that flows through your life. Give of yourself, and you make yourself stronger.
Every time you interact with someone else, you have the opportunity to give that person some kind of value. Whether it is a thing, or a thought, a gesture or a kind word, the most powerful gifts are those that come straight from the heart.
Many will appreciate your gifts and some will not, but that is not the point. For it is the sincere act of giving, not how the gift is received, that brings value and goodness to your world.
As you give more and more, you have more to give. As the joy of giving flows out from you, new richness fills your life.
Each moment is an opportunity to engage the beautiful, loving power of giving. Give your best and you’ll get even better.
– Ralph Marston
Life gives you countless opportunities and your part is to take positive action to convert them into reality — AffiDavids

Did You Know:
During the next couple of weeks we will be looking at ways to stop us from being ripped off while using our credit cards:
1. Don’t sign your card with your signature, instead write the following in the signature block “PHOTO-ID REQUIRED”. This may be a slight inconvenience to you, but it can make the card almost useless should it be stolen or lost.
2. Make a photo copy of the front and back of all documents and cards in your purse or wallet and place the copies in a safe place. This will allow you to more readily cancel cards and replace valuable documents.
3. Now, if your purse or wallet is stolen, below are the numbers you always need to contact:

Live now
Let go of the need for things to be a particular way, and enjoy life just as it is. Let go of the assumption that you must always have something more, and find true enjoyment in all that is already in your life.Dream big, meaningful dreams and make detailed, effective plans for bringing those dreams about. Live forward toward those dreams, but don’t ever postpone your enjoyment of life.
You are worthy of the very best that is in this moment, so fully accept it and experience it. This moment is worthy of the best that’s within you, so generously give of yourself.
Live the value that is your life right now. Even in the most ordinary moments, life is as rich and fulfilling as you choose to make it.
If you’re always waiting for later, or for things to get better, you’ll miss out on the very opportunities that will lift you ever higher. Instead, have confidence in the value of where you now are and what you now have.
Live now, and live as if you are the richest person who has ever lived. Because when you do, you are.
– Ralph Marston

Think and Grow Rich “It’s not what’s happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it’s your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you’re going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.” – Anthony Robbins

Times of great consequence
Is there something that has you troubled, concerned or discouraged? That very same situation can just as realistically cause you to be hopeful and encouraged and positively successful.The future has not happened yet, and the way it will unfold is completely open. Where there is the possibility for defeat and failure there is also the possibility for success and improvement.
Where much is at risk of being lost, there is much that can be gained. Times of great consequence are times of great opportunity.
Just imagine what would happen if you could turn your perspective around. Just imagine it, and know that’s precisely what you can do.
You can make the decision to create the most positive outcome. You can make the commitment to focus the energy of the situation in a creative and productive direction.
Instead of turning your eyes away from the difficulty, open your eyes to the powerful opportunity. Choose to envision your own best outcome, then choose to do whatever is necessary to make it happen.
– Ralph Marston

Not too late
It’s never too late to richly live the moment you’re in. Don’t let regrets about the past destroy the unique opportunity you have right now.Do you feel frustrated by your lack of progress? Then tap into the energy of that frustration to bring yourself fully to life in this moment that you now have to work with.
Today, you are more experienced and knowledgeable than you’ve ever been. Today, you can be more motivated than ever before to reach in and connect with your own special goodness.
And today you can put all of what you have into making real and positive progress. Today you can connect in a new and fulfilling way with what matters most.
You’ve already made an amazing journey to get to this moment. You’ve brought yourself here for a reason, so let yourself live that reason.
Make life the best it can be right now by doing something truly meaningful with it. Whatever you’ve come through, wherever you’ve been, it is never too late to feel the beautiful joy of being alive and making a difference.
– Ralph Marston

Living for Ourselves
Trying to Please Others
http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2010/26337.html
We don’t need to live seeking approval from our parents or others; this can be overcome no matter what your age.
Most of us come to a point in our lives when we question why we are doing what we are doing, and many of us come to realize that we may be living our lives in an effort to make our parents happy. This realization can dawn when we are in our 20s, our 40s, or even later, depending upon how tight a hold our family of origin has on our psyche. We may feel shocked or depressed by this information, but we can trust that it is coming to us at this time because we are ready to find out what it would mean to live our lives for ourselves, following the call of our own soul, and refusing any longer to be beholden to someone else’s expectations.
One of the most common reasons we are so tied into making our parents, or others, happy, is that we were not properly mirrored when we were children. We were not honored as individuals in our own right, with a will and purpose of our own, to be determined by our own unfolding. As a result, we learned to look outside of ourselves for approval, support, and direction rather than look within. The good news is that the part of us that was not adequately nurtured is still there, inside us, like a seed that has not yet received the sunlight and moisture it needs to open and to allow its inner contents to unfurl. It is never too late to provide ourselves with what we need to awaken this inner being.
There are many ways to create a safe container for ourselves so that we can turn within and shine the light of awareness there. We may join a support group, go to therapy, or start a practice of journaling every day for half an hour. This experience of becoming is well worth the difficult work that may be required of us to get there. In whatever process we choose, we may feel worse before we feel better, but we will ultimately find out how to live our lives for ourselves and how to make ourselves happy.
