Even when terrible things come their way people of greatness keep moving forward. They never sit back and blame the government, their parents, or their shoddy education for their problems.

They need to see the whole picture before analyzing the details. They usually have a heightened awareness of the interconnectedness among people, ideas, and environments. For example, they are more concerned with the concept of redecorating a room or lives, how to increase productivity, how to innovate and create change rather than moving a chair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people do not managing the day-to-day operations of&amp;nbsp;their lives.

If you are like me, I allow distractions to creep into our life. I end up getting nothing done. You probably know what distracts you most often. Whether it is checking your face book or email relentlessly, you are distracted. You might browse the web rather than researching, watching "just a bit more" television, or talking on the cell phone it delay or stop you completely from your goals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time to change and get more organized. Do not go cold turkey and cut out all your vises altogether but do restrict yourself to certain times and an overall weekly allowance.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THANK YOU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top Dropper&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; # of drops&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://web.me.com/srbeifuss/Tuppence/Blog/Blog.html"&gt;The Third Uncle&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://online-social-networking.com/"&gt;Online Social Networking&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://onlinesuccesscentre.com/"&gt;Online Success Centre&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.naokoscooking.com/"&gt;Cooking Japanese Style&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kutenk2000.blogspot.com/"&gt;Business Management Books&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://manddraponisanimalrescue.typepad.com/"&gt;Michelle's Menagerie&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://smartmoneysuccess.com/"&gt;Smart Money Success&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://theadmaster.net/"&gt;The Ad Master&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://slightlysarcastic.net/"&gt;Slightly Sarcastic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kutenk.com/"&gt;Engineering Books&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 30&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-8682575426802130459?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/8682575426802130459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/07/self-improvement-with-svf-june-top-10.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/8682575426802130459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/8682575426802130459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/07/self-improvement-with-svf-june-top-10.html' title='Self Improvement with SVF June Top 10'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-9197087762260451450</id><published>2010-05-29T08:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-29T08:47:42.475-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I can't say that!</title><content type='html'>Yes, you can! You can say the things that are not yet evident.&amp;nbsp;Focusing on not having anything produces negative waves which only attract the same negativity back. And trust me, you don’t want to get stuck in that cycle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saying affirmations are the ticket to more happiness and success. Affirmations are very powerful, especially when recited or read everyday. Dig deep inside yourself and combine these affirmations with feelings of contentment, happiness and gratitude. More and more people are actually making use of daily affirmations to greatly enhance their personal life. To help get you started, here are&amp;nbsp;three affirmation you might like to use for yourself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affirmation # 1: I Now Have Lots Of Love. (whatever it is you’re aiming for)&lt;br /&gt;This puts an emphasis on the time element. Here, you see yourself as already having a lot of love.r &lt;br /&gt;Just make sure to focus on the feeling of already having said&amp;nbsp;love than the feeling of waiting for that&amp;nbsp;love to appear. You want to attract "love already here" and not "love still waiting to happen." You may not notice it at first, but there is a big difference between these two emotions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affirmation # 2: Thank You For........&lt;br /&gt;Saying "thank you" also brings in positive emotions, which are the basic fuel for attracting the right energy from the universe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prosperity Affirmation # 3: I Am Grateful To Have Such A Wonderful Life.&lt;br /&gt;The word "grateful" enables you to look at your life with contentment. That feeling of contentment is very powerful. It resonates in waves to the universe and attracts nothing but more contentment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-9197087762260451450?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/9197087762260451450/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-cant-say-that.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/9197087762260451450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/9197087762260451450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-cant-say-that.html' title='I can&apos;t say that!'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-7688016624247923362</id><published>2010-05-21T01:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-21T01:10:36.049-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Who is the most important person in your life?</title><content type='html'>YOU should be the most important person in your life.

Most people are unable to achieve their weight loss goals because they always think big. Do not make your goals so big as though they become overwhelming and intimidating to you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was talking to someone about clothe size. They said they were never a size 8. I replied I was an eight in middle school. Now I am not able to count that low. They said you would get back to the number. I said in agreement "Yes next week". We both had a good long laugh. That is an example of thinking too big. You cannot lose weight in days. Losing weight is a long activity and requires determination. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eating wisely will help: instead of trying to cut out your junk food intake entirely, try to cutting down your portions. If you eat two slices of white breads, replace that with one slice wholegrain wheat bread. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing wrong with a snack in the afternoon! Try changing your afternoon snacking habit a little bit. Snack or eat a meal every 2-3 hours. Your snack calorie has to be100-200 and your meal calories 300-500. Throw in a 30 min walk and burn 100 snack calories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will actually eat fewer calories, eat more food, and enjoy your life. By the way, you will even loss some weight.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-6481989829440363164?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/6481989829440363164/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/04/only-one-word-goal.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/6481989829440363164'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/6481989829440363164'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/04/only-one-word-goal.html' title='Only one word: GOAL!'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-3257007937508636972</id><published>2010-04-04T17:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-04T17:56:33.267-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Self Improvement with SVF March Top 10</title><content type='html'>I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.

Some special people are stressed because of their studies, children, and family, but it is all the same. We all end up feeling tense, distracted, and unhealthy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are like me, you need a weekend just for yourself. Having fun and taking time to unwind may be the best way to spend the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to the beach, golf clubs, or resort to relax. However, if you are short on cash for a plane ticket to paradise, go to the bathroom, bedroom, park, the backyard, or somewhere you are alone. You can still relax completely with simple body-based techniques. Take a Saturday or Sunday to practice relaxation exercises in a healthy and stress free environment, you will feel revitalized and refreshed for the coming weeks ahead. No special equipment is required, since it is centered on the most natural tool of all: your own breath. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One-arm-at-a-time-stress-free techniques &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1a. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent and arms at your sides. Draw your tailbone down toward the floor, keeping your chest lifted and shoulders relaxed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1b. Inhale for four counts as you raise your left arm up and out in front of you to shoulder height, palm down. Exhale for four counts as you lower your arm to your side. Breathe slowly and consciously through your nose as you move. Perform the sequence on alternating arms twice, then close your eyes, and repeat two more times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop worrying about life and the feeling of&amp;nbsp;serenity will suddenly relax and distress you. A weekend getaway will help maintain a good and healthy outlook for next week. Smile!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-5170402517577743615?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/5170402517577743615/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/03/weekend-just-for-you.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/5170402517577743615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/5170402517577743615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/03/weekend-just-for-you.html' title='A Weekend just for you'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-4249123592316291538</id><published>2010-03-17T16:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-17T16:56:15.074-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy St. Patrick's Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/S6Fr961DQHI/AAAAAAAAAEs/G6h1DC-YbWk/s1600-h/snowdrop____1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/S6Fr961DQHI/AAAAAAAAAEs/G6h1DC-YbWk/s200/snowdrop____1.jpg" vt="true" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first St. Patrick's Day parade took place not in Ireland, but in the United States.

While many do have friends, whether their friends are from work, school or surrounding homes, there are others who do not seem to know anyone or have any kind of a social life at all. It may seem odd to the social butterflies, but it is all too familiar to those who prefer to be left alone to live their lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life can be lonely, long and boring if one only focuses on work and home. There is nothing wrong with going out and having a good time; however, there are many who are either too shy to go out, or they feel they are not going to be accepted by anyone. The truth is that while it is not necessary to have hundreds of friends, having a friend or two could help make life a little more enjoyable and interesting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Communicating with others can help to change things up a bit, offer something to look forward to after a long week of work and even include a little fun in one's life. Those who have never really been too social may not realize they are missing something, some may even feel that going out and socializing is a waste of time that can be better spent doing something else. Unfortunately, they will never know if they refuse to give it a try. As mentioned before, humans are social animals, so those who are not overly social may begin to feel a little depressed or they may feel that something is missing in their lives. Lack of socialization can also hurt a person's self-esteem or self-confidence as they begin to feel more out of sink with the rest of the world around them. Lack of socialization could also mean not being noticed for a promotion at work, or not being noticed in life at all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who have not been overly social in their lives may want to move out of their comfort zone and find some friends, but may not be entirely sure on how to go about this. It may seem a little extreme for some, but saying "hello" is quite helpful for those looking to get out of their shell. Tell them you like their smile or shoes or something small like that. People will always respond to someone saying something nice about them.

Seriously, you are the only one in your way, so clear the clutter - the time clutter, the paper clutter, the mind clutter, the house clutter, the body clutter - ALL THE STUFF (both real and created) that continues to clutter you up so there's no room for you to have what you really want. Create the space and your dreams will have a place to land. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get support from someone - or a group of people - who has your best interest in mind and who is striving to grow as well. Find a buddy or a coach or a mentor or a mastermind group who can help you hold your vision of what you want, who believes in you, and who can help you take action despite fear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know this can be easier said than done. Many of us are surrounded by others who are also stuck in fear and may not know how to really support us. I can tell you that for me, I notice who I admire. Who is living their life in a way that is similar to how I want to be living mine.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;They model the type of courage and audacity and authenticity that I aspire to. Those are the people I consult with and share my visions with. That's how I chose support group. I found someone who was kind and compassionate, but also took a "no excuses" approach to living their dream.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-2655794721450722717?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/2655794721450722717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/02/simple-but-not-always-so-easy.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/2655794721450722717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/2655794721450722717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/02/simple-but-not-always-so-easy.html' title='Simple, but not always so easy'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-7666092122427433219</id><published>2010-02-13T05:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-13T05:23:34.120-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fear Not</title><content type='html'>The world is racing along at a mile a minute and the same could be said for our brains. If you have ever found yourself thinking, about the things that have happened to you good or bad, repeatedly, stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear not! Continually reflecting on the past is something that affects many of us. This becomes a problem for people that are ill equipped to deal with the emotional pressures that the mind can induce. Fear freezes you in your steps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not become so fearful of the consequences of taking action that it prevent you from doing anything. Remember: The past is gone, the future has not come yet, and all you have is the present. Forgive yourself and others for past wrongs, slow action, or no action. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The past no longer exist. The past is a movie in your mind and that is where it will stay if you do not forgive yourself and others. The past is like and IPod. You can download movies, view them, or just store them and never play the movie again. After a while, you will forget that are there. When you come across that movie again, you may have the courage to delete it altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Live your present life now. Stop looking at old movies on your IPod of the past.

Not only do we feel bad over the physical changes that take place, but with every passing year we look back and wonder what could have been. What could we have achieved if only we started getting serious about life when we were younger? What great things could we have done if only we had a good “start?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What so many people do not understand is that age is just a number. Life is life and if you are alive you have the potential to achieve anything you set your mind to. You have time to accomplish things. You have the wisdom that comes from a lifetime of experience. You have friends, contacts and a world of knowledge that would take a younger person a lifetime to learn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t let anyone tell you that you are too old to start making changes in life or that you are too old to change the world! If you have definite goals and a burning desire to achieve them then you have precisely what it takes to fulfill a dream. That is true whether you are 18 or 81!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-2821190236092150814?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/2821190236092150814/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/01/problem-is-not-your-body-but-your-mind.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/2821190236092150814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/2821190236092150814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2010/01/problem-is-not-your-body-but-your-mind.html' title='The problem is not your body but your mind'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-6431731987542315811</id><published>2010-01-20T05:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T05:15:01.347-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Motivational Wednesday: Reprogramme your subconscious</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;On a daily, even hourly basis, you are continually affirming to your subconscious thoughts that will eventually become your beliefs.

You need to define what success and happiness means for you. What it would look like, feels like, sound like, smell like, and taste like? Use the five senses that your subconscious mind uses to create your normal life at present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, start acting rather than reacting. Our normal behavior is reactionary. We are, in effect, creatures of habit, performing all our routine tasks using that backward-looking autopilot. If you reflect on it for a moment, pretty much everything we do in life becomes routine, eventually. You have to switch the autopilot off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is done very simply! Do some of your routine tasks in a non-routine way. Start with something simple like brushing your teeth with the hand with which you normally do not brush your teeth. Something as simple as this breaks the chain of chain reactions. If you stick with doing little things differently, soon you will get into a new "habit" of actually doing what you are doing mindfully, rather than mindlessly as one normally does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the one think you will stop and do differently today?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-1307422941931181422?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/1307422941931181422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-stop-automatic-reactions.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/1307422941931181422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/1307422941931181422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-stop-automatic-reactions.html' title='How to STOP automatic reactions'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SuWfQepZ6UI/AAAAAAAAAD0/JytqtT8iBxs/s72-c/believe.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-3915647564208334691</id><published>2009-10-23T07:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T07:18:54.413-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Life is not the product of outside events</title><content type='html'>You must understand is that your life is not the product or even by-product of outside events.

Whether that's a horrible job, poor economic conditions, a failing personal relationship or a really good job but one that takes up all of your time and energy to the detriment of your personal life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't like your work, it has nothing to do with the work, it has everything to do with your mindset.&amp;nbsp;Plenty of people doing the most menial, boring and repetitive of tasks have been found, through university research, to be the happiest and most successful .&amp;nbsp;Apply a positive mind to the tasks in your hand and you will see success and happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do you work with the conditions in which you find yourself?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-3915647564208334691?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/3915647564208334691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2009/10/life-is-not-product-of-outside-events.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/3915647564208334691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/3915647564208334691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2009/10/life-is-not-product-of-outside-events.html' title='Life is not the product of outside events'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-317446019766265213</id><published>2009-10-21T09:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-21T09:11:54.028-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Motivational Wednesday: What make you achieve more or think differently about the things that you may be learning or doing?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/St8wBsIlc4I/AAAAAAAAADs/BP6Z_0u622o/s1600-h/903839_fitness.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/St8wBsIlc4I/AAAAAAAAADs/BP6Z_0u622o/s320/903839_fitness.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3557777739668689521-317446019766265213?l=shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/feeds/317446019766265213/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2009/10/motivational-wednesday-what-make-you.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/317446019766265213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3557777739668689521/posts/default/317446019766265213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shepherdfamilyvalues2.blogspot.com/2009/10/motivational-wednesday-what-make-you.html' title='Motivational Wednesday: What make you achieve more or think differently about the things that you may be learning or doing?'/><author><name>shepherdfamilyvalues</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17911228965433062825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/SJWJ-DVipYI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XIuILn27B2A/S220/images.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LcwZWcuLfbI/St8wBsIlc4I/AAAAAAAAADs/BP6Z_0u622o/s72-c/903839_fitness.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557777739668689521.post-6980670827372376201</id><published>2009-10-18T15:24:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T15:25:12.484-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Implement today</title><content type='html'>The secrets to a do it now attitude are simple to apply.

We have turned into a society of procrastinators rather than doers. Successful people act today and do not wait until tomorrow. They are master implementers always taking action and always moving towards their goals. Create a sense of urgency and strive to do what you need to do today, not tomorrow.
