Have you ever had one of those days where you just want everything to go away?  Wondering why life isn’t better for you?  Wondering if it’s something that you did wrong or if it’s just because that white corolla didn’t signal when he cut you off on the way home from work?  I mean, whose fault is it really?  The guy driving 30 down the highway on a scooter or you for being in such a hurry?

I’m talking about one of those days (or weeks, or years) where you just can’t do anything right.  Where you may be trying to please everyone, but end up pleasing no one.  What then?  You’ve wasted your life hoping, even expecting, to please others so that one day you will be happy, but it all ends up backfiring.  Can you really please everyone around you?  Is it possible?

Have you ever woken up to the same routine that you told yourself last week that you were going to leave behind?  The same thing for breakfast, the same to-do list, the same way to work, the same time for lunch and then you try and add some spice to your life by driving home a different way just because?  Yup, I know you have.  I have too.

So how have I decided to get out of this?  I’ve decided to stop tricking myself into believing that I’ll change if I keep trying to do the same thing over and over.  The definition of insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over and expect a different result.  Are we really naive to believe that hoping for change will actually effect the change?  Gandhi may have said it best, yet so simple,

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

It’s true.  You have to change before you can see the change in others.  You have to give more for others to be able to give more.  You have to be who you say you want to become for others to be who they want to become.  The cold, hard truth, is that it starts with YOU.  And you are the only one that can do it…not only that, but the only one that should do it.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

If you gotta start somewhere, why not here?  If you gotta start sometime, why not now?  If we gotta start somewhere, I’ll say here.  If we gotta start sometime, I’ll say now. – Toby Mac, City On Our Knees

Man up.  Stop whining.  And please don’t wait for someone else to fix themselves or fix you.  Do something different.  Do something different today.

Guest Post from Dustin Taylor at DustinGTaylor.com

I recently heard an interesting quote…so simple, yet struck a chord near to my heart.  It went something like this:

“Whether you realize it or not, you’re self-employed.”

Isn’t it true?  Aren’t we all self-employed?  Aren’t we all interested in ourselves?  We may think that our employer will actually look out for us when the hard times come.  They probably won’t.  In the roller-coaster like economy of today, you don’t know where you will be in a year, in a month, or even in a day.  So why put your entire life in the hands of others, continuously believing that somebody else will do what you can’t seem to do for yourself?

Why not jump ship from those around you telling you that you can’t do any better.  That you must wait until the economy gets better because “it’s just hard right now,” and “when the economy returns back to normal, I’ll be ok?”  Why not choose for yourself TODAY that you will stop waiting to be acted on, and act for yourself?

That’s the question I keep asking myself.  We are all self-employed, whether we realize it or not.  We are self-employed in developing the skills, talents, relationships, connections, and rights that will put us in a position to succeed no matter what happens around us.  Most people would call this freedom.  A freedom for which they deeply yearn.  At the same time, a freedom they think is impossible to achieve.

This is a freedom, like any other thing of worth in this life, that takes work to obtain.  This is a freedom that requires effort, stability of mind, and a determination from the heart, coupled with a motivation with roots that go beyond the surface.  This is a freedom that for some could be a free weekend every seven days.  For others, it could mean being wealthy enough to travel.  Still, for others, it could mean being able to just get rid of the stresses of trying to please someone else every day of their lives for something of little worth in the long-run: money.  The opposite of freedom is fear!

“Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.”  – Dwight D. Eisenhower

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar

This is a freedom that must be renewed every single day.  Don’t let another day pass you by without finding what makes you free.  Finding what sets you apart from everybody else.  Finding what makes you happy.  That, in turn, will make those around you increase their freedom.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson

What are you afraid of?  You truly are self-employed in your own future.  Step up to the plate today!

I would bet that when you decided to join Kyani you had a vision. That vision can cross a wide span of possibilities, but wherever your goal falls, one thing stays consistent.  Every day you have a choice. You can become the person you envisioned becoming or not. You can reach your goal, or not.  I challenge you to become the person you envisioned becoming in Kyani. Rise up to the level you imagined reaching. It is time to become extraordinary!

• Learn the Products

Kyani has provided three amazing products. I guarantee the more you learn about these products the more excited you will become. You will gain more confidence as you talk to people.

Commit to doing at least something little every day. Believe in yourself, believe in the product, and go fulfill what you have always desired. Do not get discouraged! Trust in yourself, your team, and your ability to succeed.

“Never be bullied into silence.  Never allow yourself to be made a victim.  Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.” – Harvey S. Firestone

Have you ever been around those people who can never blame themselves for their difficulties in life?  Those who always have an excuse for their problems and why they are there EXCEPT for the simple and usually true circumstance that they just didn’t perform or just didn’t do it themselves?

That’s what this post is all about.  I’ve been wondering why so many times in my life and possibly in your life, we have made ourselves victims all the while blaming those around us for our problems.  Why not take control of your own life?  The only way to do that is to take responsibility for our actions and the consequences of those actions.

“If it’s never our fault, we can’t take responsibility for it.  If we can’t take responsibility for it, we’ll always be the victim.” – Richard Bach

If you want to be physically fit, then stop eating junk food and start exercising.  If you want to have financial and time freedom in your life, get past American Idol on Tuesday at 7 and start taking the steps necessary to do so.  If you want to get out of debt, then please, oh please, stop blaming the credit card companies for abusing you and stop using their services.  If you want to do well in school, then put in the work to do it.  I don’t mean to be harsh, but you create the life you want for yourself.  The way you’re living now affects the way you’ll be living tomorrow.  Fix it today and live up to your own expectations.  Everything you want in this life is achieved by you and only you.  Create your future by taking responsibility for where you are at today and where you will be tomorrow.

“Accept fate, and move on.  Don’t yield to the seductive pull of self-pity.  Acting like a victim threatens your future.” – Unknown

Life is good, only if you make it so.  Live, love and laugh!  You can accept your current position in Kyani, no matter what it is, and get to where you know you CAN be by following your own dreams and taking responsibility for everything that has happened with your new home business up to today.
