Masterpiece or Mayhem?
“I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge
you to join the ranks of those people who live
what they teach, who walk their talk.”
— Tony Robbins: Self-help speaker and author
It is actually coincidence that two quotes in a row are from Tony Robbins. Possibly because I believe this year, specifically this holiday season, you need encouragement and inspiration. What is holding you back from living life as a masterpiece? If you need to, stop for a few minutes and write down those obstacles. Then turn the paper over and write down all you are thankful for and the opportunities you’ve taken advantage of this year. Is the obstacle list longer than the thankful and opportunity side? If you answered yes, continue to Google positive thoughts and ideas and allow all that is good to penetrate your thoughts on a daily, and then on an hourly basis. It is crucial that your inner self talk is positive. Be diligent and never ceasing until you have mastered this vital skill. It can be the difference between a replica and a masterpiece!
Life is precious and life is short. Yeah, yeah, you heard it all before. I mean it, stop and take a look around. More than ever this year, each and every one of us must stop and evaluate how we got where we are today – good or bad place – and be thankful. I challenge you to see beyond yourself and your circumstance of today and see the people in your life, your neighborhood, and your city. They have unmet needs, lack motivation, and feel discouraged. Our attitude is a choice. Choose thankfulness and gratitude today and then share it with someone you encounter, preferably a stranger. . . It’s more rewarding – they won’t think you are buttering them up for something!
Creating your masterpiece life isn’t something you do in a day or a month. It’s the chipping away of what doesn’t match up with your vision. Do what you say and say what you mean and you will wake up one day and realize you are living the dream you worked for every day, through every choice. Now go encourage someone else, even if all you can squeeze out is a smile!

To Choose or Not to Choose
“How am I going to live today in order to
create the tomorrow I’m committed to?”
- Tony Robbins: Self-help speaker and author
What do you think of when you read that quote? Often it is easy for us to merely “get through” each day if we allow these immediate troubles to affect our choices. While it is important to address what is happening around you, it is also important to keep perspective and remember where you are headed. Relationships are messy. Friends and family can pull at us to accommodate their agenda. We all make choices for the good of not only ourselves, but those around us. A husband checks with a wife before making a major purchase, a friend needs help moving, your kids need a ride to practice. These are all good things, integrated into our life’s plan and goals, and called relationship building.
But at what point have you ventured off the track of relationship building and diverted straight towards following everyone’s path . . . neglecting your own? There are no excuses, only choices we each make that lead us to where we are. If you are not where you expected to be two years ago, what are you doing about it? Are you blaming the economy, your past employer, your spouse, someone or some other event? As life changes, so do we, like it or not. Take a few minutes and look at where you are today and where you want to go. What is standing between those two points? We cannot control others, but we can control our actions and reactions to the events unfolding in our environment.
Each time you have a decision in front of you, pause and think before reacting with a response. Take a look at your options and consciously choose that which will move you closer to where you want to be. It’s ok to say no from time to time. It’s also realistic to know that there are times when you must choose what takes you farther away from your goal, but you see that it does, and the next choice puts you back in forward motion. Share a comment about one of your goals and what you are doing to achieve it.
We are looking forward to having guests from around the country join us in Spokane, WA this weekend as they follow through on their decision to learn directly from Lee Arnold! Lee will be taking a bus full of entrepreneurial minded people on a tour to view a number of houses on the foreclosure list. He will teach them how to evaluate data, contact Realtors or homeowners, and how to put a deal together, benefiting the homeowner and themselves, in their business.
