This is so cool, I got it working that I can post to my blog from my phone!!! I know simple but it is cool to me. Yeah!
What an end to 2009, where did the time go? Seems like just yesterday 2009 just started full of hope and promise for a fantastic year. Well here we are at the start of 2010 with that same hope and promise of a fantastic year. If the changes that occurred in 2009 are any indication of the changes that are in-store for 2010 it is going to be ONE HECK OF A YEAR! I am so excited to be starting 2010, and are already amazed that it is the 24th day and February is only a week away. Next thing will be my kids birthday’s and man does that make me feel old (LOL) they will be 9 & 7 this year and complete little bundles of energy. We are expanding our design elements not only into our photography but also into our design line of business cards and post cards. If you are interested in learning more please feel free to drop UP a line. Take care and talk to you soon.
The Law of Attraction…until not long ago I really had no idea what it was. I didn’t understand why my life has been going in the direction it was. Sure I had up times, but there were more low times- bills, illness etc. Then a few months ago I stumbled across something that has just opened my eyes and after some deep soul searching and looking back on my life I realized that the down times and the illness all coincided with how I was feeling at the time. The Law of Attractions states “That which is like draws itself to like.” or in another way “Like attracts Like.” I know most people out there have heard of opposites attract; this is true for magnetic structures, but completely wrong otherwise. It is centered on a false premise.
In fact most of what we have learned and have been taught to us is based on false premises. These ideas that have been accumulated over time by our minds are so embedded in our way of thinking, in our behavior, because we have continually made justifications as to why we believe these things. Without actually taking the time to examine our mental state, we will continue to live this way. We continue to attract the things into our lives that we do not want, and then we wonder what we need to do in order to fix it.
It is actually a pretty simple concept once you can actually grab a hold and break free from previous teachings and ways of thinking. Every one of us knows there are certain laws governing all things in the universe like the law of gravity, there are laws of physics (every action has an equal and opposite reaction, for example). But the law of attraction is a universal law that most people don’t know or have never heard of. Why, because it has been suppressed and hidden and kept a secret for ages.
Many people know they have beliefs and keep them sacred, and cling to them and many will kill or die for their beliefs. But what is a belief? Simply a belief is “A thought that has been repeated enough times that you accept it as true.” Think about that and really READ it, a belief is just a thought that has been repeated by you in your mind so many times that you accept it as true! The kicker here is that most times we do it unconsciously!
It starts as a kid, when we are born we have a clean slate, a blank canvas and then the world starts to mold our thoughts and “teach” us beliefs. We model our behavior and thoughts around the people who care for us. We are being conformed by the people who care for us. There is nothing wrong with that, so don’t start to blame your mom and dad for short comings, after all they did the best they could do. Really they did…
Our parents raised us with the model that they were handed down and what they believed was reality. Their context of reality was just based on what they had been taught and the knowledge they had, which came from the people that cared for them and influenced them.
So it is a chain of events that can happen. Are there any new ideas in society? All of the ideas that people walk around believing are mostly the learned thoughts of others. Remember a belief is a thought that you have come to accept as true, but that doesn’t make it true…
So we continue with the chain of events that just keeps on going until it is broken. Until you stop and learn to educate yourself for a difference and break the influence that has been pressed upon us by our school teachers, religious advisors, and our peer groups.
Well to understand the LOA let’s ask a question…When you look at the world what do you see? Simple & fair question. Most people look at everything that is WRONG with the world, agree? So if we live in an enormous universe with unlimited potential why is there so much wrong in our little planet? Why has our human history been so violent? Why do we treat each other so indiscriminately?
The biggest reason is we have forgotten who we really are. We have forgotten that we are ALL individuals, all separate beings, when in fact all we are is energy. Energy that makes up the universe that has been pulled together for a brief moment in time that is ongoing. We are all made up of energy that is all around us, from the beginning of time, and this is a hard concept for most people to grasp. So we are all individuals made up of the same energy matter brought together to create.
Humans Create, now granted we create most of the time ignorant of our connection we have to the energy we are created of. Most of us create unconsciously and we end up getting the results that we see all around us. This world is being created by individuals, people, and governments that have not understood who they really are (individual aspects of the energy of life). When you understand that you are an individual aspect of the universal energy, than you cannot any longer create your life unconsciously!
You have to understand and accept that wrapped up in a nice human form all we really are is a physical and non-physical representation of energy, and you no longer have a choice about how you create your life! The only choice you can make is to create your life with a unique self awareness and conscious intention. And when you do that not only can you NOT hurt yourself BUT you can NOT hurt others either!
Ok so it is a hard concept to grasp but the biggest and easiest thing to remember is that by focusing on the things in life we don’t want that is exactly what we will bring into our lives. That by focusing on the negative we are attracting negative, remember “like attracts like”. But in the same manner focus on positive ideas and thoughts and you will attract those things into you life.
Well do you want a simple example? I went golfing the other day. Now I am not the best golfer. I enjoy playing so it doesn’t really matter to me a score. I just have fun being out and playing. But when I step up to hit the ball, I would always say to myself DON’T hit it to the right….well what happens 98% of the time I would hit it to the right. I tried to turn myself to the left just so the ball would swing around and come down where I wanted it to land. Great plan if there were no trees to the left, right! Well what about this… I decided that this time out I wouldn’t say anything negative when I stepped up to hit the ball. Nothing like I don’t want to hook it, or don’t hit the water, instead I said to myself I am GOING to hit it straight! Or I will get it over the water, and you know what it WORKED!!! Now not every shot was a beauty, most of the ones that didn’t work well were ones after I hit them I realized I hadn’t said anything positive before hitting the ball. Then I would consciously make a positive comment before hitting the next shot.
Now thinking a positive thought consciously before everything we do our entire lives is really difficult to do, especially with over 50,000 thoughts a day. But starting to retrain your brain is going to take some time and conscious effort, just like an athlete training for a big game. They may do the same play a few hundred times until they can do it in their sleep, but then come game day they can do the task with supreme ease without even thinking about it. Why? By consciously training their minds it became an unconscious task.
The same thing happens to your mind after you consciously accept that all things are energy and retrain your subconscious mind with conscious thought of well being and happiness. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. When you focus to a point that what you want is engrained on your subconscious mind you will have it!
We (my family) have started to educate ourselves for a difference, a new way to learn and live to have all we want in our lives. And we invite you to join the evolution and visit www.educate4adifference.com.
My
birthday is right around the corner, I don’t know maybe that is what
got this all started. But whatever it is that did it, I am glad and so
very Thankful that it did start. I am grateful for the change in myself
and my life, grateful to have …found something else and stop beating myself up inside, and learning a new way to live. http://thesecret.tv/secret-to-you.
I have never really been a very religious or deep thought kinda person or one for self exploring. I always thought that this is just the way things are. But looking back at my life, I have noticed that there have been few times where I was truly happy. I love to laugh, but don’t do it enough. I love to feel excited, but there hasn’t been anything (I thought) to be excited about.
Well no more, I am making a change in my life and it starts with my own thoughts. I will laugh more I will be excited more, I want to feel good and tired of feeling depressed and lonely. There is no reason for those feelings, I have an amazing, incredible family! Two absolutely adorable and lovable kids! A wife that I fall in love with again every day, that any man would love to have and that I am truly grateful that she said yes 10 years ago. I am not going to limit my kids, let them explore do what they want encourage them and help them as much as I humanly can.
I just wanted to share some thoughts with whom ever would listen, because I am just happy to be alive today, and hope I have the chance to do it again tomorrow, only better! Because life is just too short to have regrets, to be depressed to feel sorry for myself. There is beauty all around even in the smallest of things. Embrace life, cherish it, because no one knows when there won’t be another tomorrow for us. Learn to Live… www.educate4adifferece.com Thanks for listening (or reading LOL).
Hey there, before I get started I just wanted to share that I am terrible at English. And my grammar isn’t the best I write how I would talk to someone… I have done numerous “jobs” from a wire man, general labor, retail etc then I got a degree in Geology from Pitt. The degree was something that I was hoping to make a life long career out of. Then when I got a job and after being there only 2 weeks, I could tell it wasn’t for me. I trudged through nearly 7 years of it, unexpected travel, cleaning up hazardous waste, dealing with managers games. I would come into the office on Monday morning and there would be paperwork and a note that I had to head out of town and be gone all week so get going. It was not a way I wanted my life to go. Then with rising health concerns and never being home it was time to make a change. Well I have always loved Photography especially nature and historical locations. Then I started to do portraits and worked for myself. I LOVE WORKING FOR MYSELF! The problem with doing portraits was always that I wanted to put more a creative twist on my images that I shot, I would spend hours retouching the images to get them just right only to have someone just buy a 5×7. Frustrating and tough on the wallet it was tough trying to figure out marketing, spending hundreds on mailers and radio ads only to get no response. So after months and months of searching, I found a job no I found what I was looking for. A way to make money from anywhere doing something I like to do which allows me to do the photography that I love to do. I get to spend time with my kids, get them on the bus, get them off the bus spend time with them doing games, scouts, dance, soccer. I make money with a laptop and a phone, using a proven system that I didn’t have to come up with, using marketing that works, that I don’t have to struggle to figure out what works. It is INCREDIBLE! I know have the TIME, the MONEY, The MINDSET to live the life I want! Our goal is to live in the place we always wanted to and live the life we always wanted! I am not trying to sell any of you guys on it, I just know what i has done to help me! My website is www.educate4adifference.com and I just wanted to share my story so maybe it will help someone else out there. I have found that i work HARDER for myself than I ever have for someone else. And now I work smarter and not harder! Good Luck to everyone on your journey in life!

I was sent a very interesting article today. Not really one to take too much time to read too much (no time right) well something made me read it. And, well I found it very I guess enlightening to say the least. It really has to do with a way of thinking, I know that know that all my life I have been under the false belief of if I DO something I will BE happy and then HAVE what I want. Well, that hasn’t been working for me for the 36 years I have been on this planet, but it is what we have been talk. The old saying “work hard and you will have it” is excuse me BS. I have done nothing but work hard my whole life, and I never really have had “it” and I have only ever had brief glimpses of true happiness. Well I have decided it is time to make a shift in thinking and really that is all it is, to DECIDE to make a shift, to change the way you think! Right? The real order of things is to BE first, be happy, be excited, be generous then to use a commercial term just DO it! Do the things that make. doing things from the state of happiness or whatever and you will HAVE the things you truly want!

A few differences between traditional networking and E-Networking.
-An introduction from primary contact on your networking list is not necessary for E-Networking. The person on-line is the primary contact and can also refer other to you.
-E-Networking has potential to get immediate responses.. Telephone tag is limited online, with online contacts most are fluent with email and check it often and tend to respond within 48 hours. And someone who isn’t interested in E-Networking won’t reply.
-The internet puts everyone there at your fingertips. By publishing an email gives you the opportunity to initiate contact and build a relationship. This is unlikely in traditional marketing.
-Keeping track of your circle of contacts is greatly simplified. Use your own email list or a contact list from an internal site to manage your growing circle of E-Networking contacts. The need to collect business cards and keep track of hastily scribbled reminders about the individual
-Many sites sponsor networking circles and events. Many of the top sites travel the country and host presentations and seminars for their members.The assumption is that you have met colleagues virtually, and now want to cement those relationships at an event dedicated to further networking and perhaps even professional development.
These are just a few ideas on Networking on the Internet. Please visit http://www.educate4adifference.com
Hi all, one of my favorite movies since I first saw it is “P.S. I Love You” I realize it is more of a “chick flick” but it just really hits me. Makes me think about how short life really is, how fast it can change, how important it is to live in the NOW. I know that it sounds very cliche but really you have to live in the moment. Things can change for the good or unfortunately the bad in the blink of an eye.
My wife and I are heading for our 10 year anniversary in a few weeks, when we got married 10 years seem sooooo far away but now that we are here, I sit back and think “where did it go?” There were things we wanted to accomplish in that 10 years that have never happened, yet! I wanted to take her on a TRUE honeymoon, when we got married we just went to a friends place up at Niagara Falls. I know that it is a honeymoon hot spot but it just didn’t feel like it since we were staying with a friend. I wanted to have our own house instead of renting, there were a lot of little things that we wanted to have accomplished in 10 years. Very few of them got done, mostly we just kept saying “someday” or when we hit the lotto. Then we found a great program that really helped us make a change in our lives and in our thinking. We no longer sit here and say someday, we no longer just hope for the lotto. We have made the decision to change our lives to move it forward, no more waiting and we have finally found the vehicle that will help us make it happen. I don’t believe there are any accidents everything happens for a reason, good or bad. We believe we have found the vehicle that when we reach the 20 year mark we won’t look back and say oh if only we did this or that. From now on we will make things happen that we want to happen, and I believe that this program we are doing now will be the catalyst that will move us forward, so in 20 years we don’t look back with any regrets. We are now in the process of Learning to Live! and we will make it happen! Join us in this adventure called life! I don’t believe in changing the world but maybe small corners of it and eventually they will add up. Educate 4 A Difference, educate yourself on how you can change your part of the world and together we will be changing little parts all over.

I came across this anonymous quote today and really liked it and wanted to share it with you. The quote is
“If you’re not sure were you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”
It really makes you think about setting goals and taking the necessary strides to achieve those goals. Setting goals is very important to becoming a better person and enjoying life to its fullest. But you have to stay focused on the big goal and use the little goals as stepping stones. You can set a big goal; say to loose 50lbs in six months, then to get to that goal set a bunch of little goals to achieve that big goal. Maybe have a small goal of eating x amount of vegetables and fruit a day, one of my personal goals to help loose weight was to cut out Pop (soda however you want to say it LOL). I used to LOVE Mountain Dew and drank cans of it a day, I was able to cut out the Dew (as sad and hard as that was) and I started to see weight drop off. I thought GREAT ok next step was to cut out fast food, easy enough since I now work at home and don’t have the temptation to just run to McDonalds for lunch. Again I lost more weight, then once i kinda lost focus on the big goal since the little goals were getting accomplished I started to gain weight back on. So I needed to focus again on the big goal of loosing 50lbs in six months. I had lost 30lbs in three months and thought this is great, everything is working great. I slacked off, lost focus and the weight started to go back on. So I got refocused, I have my big goal on a goal board in my home office and I see it everyday. This helps me stay focused on the big goal. So unless you know where your goal is taking you and stay focused on that, you will end up somewhere else.
