To The Man Who's Looking for Me.

Instagram is an interesting social network.
It seems it is more of a "face book" than Facebook.

I recently started using it and discovered there are a few guys on there that just started following me because they think I'm cute, pretty or whatever.

And, one of them actually tried to strike up a conversation with me about what I do. It was tough on both of us.

He said, "I don't get you."

But, I was saying, "I don't have time for you, bro."

After beginning to learn how to live a fuller life through Garrett J. White teaching his Warrior "doctrine," I just don't have time for any man that isn't producing meaningful work.

It's amazing what happens when you really start living the truth. You don't have time for sissies, whiners or liars.

If you dig me, get with the program:

The "I Will Sell" poem by Lis Carpenter

I Will Sell - by Lis Carpenter

 
So, this is me action on inspiration. That's something that I learned from "God's Marketing Man," Kris Darty. 

I Will Sell 
I will sell because my parents don't approve, and I don't want to be like them.
I will sell because I'm an artist and I can create marketing pieces.
I will sell because it is the highest paying industry in the world.
I will sell because I worked for St. Giles Junior Summer Camps for about two weeks, and it was a living hell. I will sell because there are a lot of scammers out there, and it's better for you to find me before them.
I will sell because I can help more people by focusing on profits instead of earnings. I think I'll write more in a blog post.

I'm feeling so good about this 90 Day Challenge I just started because I am not stuck in the paralysis of analysis thing.  I actually got this video shot, edited and on this blog in about an hour. Ask me if I could do that a year ago.

I was just musing about this stuff as I was listening to David Wood share about "creating magic" from the last Empower Hour call. I really started thinking about what I want. I can't justify the work that I do because it's just not what I want, and it forces me to be profession, which goes totally against every fiber in my being!

• I decided that it's about time for me to decide that my family's future will not be determined by the job market or nation's economy.

• I decided that I have infinite worth. I know that I am more valuable than any wage 'the man' can pay me.

• I decided that I will not live in hope of some pension (drop in income) supporting me when I retire. 

• I decided that I to live without the fear of being downsized.

• I decided that I will never give one of my friends the "I can't afford it excuse again." 

That is my fuel today. I have a few simple things that I can do everyday to get to the other side of this poor cashflow existence. And, by God, I am going to do them with all my might!

Ride On - Gird Your Sword

to the only wise God our Saviour, is glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and to all the ages! Amen. (YLT Jude 1:25)

I guest you can feel it; the rift in the atmosphere. People are uncomfortable to see the world crashing down around them. Why the natural distasters. I know this is nothing, compared to what is to come.

'For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;
(YLT 24:7)

Kingdoms are not just set by country borders. Also know that giant multinational corporations rule the world. These kingdoms will be continue to be shaken. Hopefully, not all governments will be stupid and try to bail them out. Don't nurse the dying horse. Feed the healthy ones. The world's not going to end, just a few kingdoms.

This is Psalm 45. I actually read the Psalm again after a long while about a week ago, and then this song by Ryan Kondo of IHOP took on new life. It's so funny, I sat down yesterday to write SEO articles, and I could not for the life of me get anything written except blog posts and poetry. It is something. But, I am not the type to give in when I know that this whole life is a battle to stay faithful to the true God.

Why Do I Procrastinate?

For the last three days I have sat at my computer to write my final papers only not to write them. Only to watch more Frank Kern trainings. To outline my papers and rewrite me "to do" list several times. I exercised, drank caffeinated beverages, asked my mother to bug me about it, even informed my teacher (earlier in the week) that I was having this lagging issue, and I still procrastinated.

The one day that I worked on my papers before they were do was last Wednesday, and that was after I sent my teacher an email telling her that I would be sending a rough draft of one paper and an outline for the other. I keep my word. It seems that deadlines are everything. Unreasonable deadlines are even better for me.

I wrote a book about this. Coach Aneirin's Guide to Living Your Winningest Life Ever! You can get a copy at: http://lifebeat.ning.com/ Ignore my horrid picture there. Procrastination is very irritating to me, but now I just have to figure out how to avoid procrastinating on setting deadlines...

Inspired at Sugar Bar NYC

Just got back from a ten day trip to New York, and I got to do many things. I'm sharing a little bit on Facebook, a little on YouTube, and a little here.

I wanted to blog about Andre Henry's concert at Sugar Bar in New York, New York because I was afraid to make the trip by myself. I wasn't scared of the city. I was scared of getting lost on the subway...again.

So this is me and Andre in the photo. A picture of triumph for me, a picture of "Are we going to get the shot right this time?" for him.

I had asked my friend Ralf to go with me. I asked my one of my cousins, and I was waiting that night for another cousin to show up at church to ask her to go with me. One of my aunts was suggesting that she could drive me, but really didn't want to.

Then I remember hitch-hiking to Sturgis in 2004. I remembered how everything just worked out. That situation was way more extreme and God brought me home, so I lollygagged a little and finally went to the subway. I had my Blackberry and the Google Maps app to guide me...until I made the mistake of pushing the back button. Ooops! No directions anymore.

I was distraught for a couple of minutes until I remembered that I could still read emails. I had saved Andre's email in my mailbox which happened to have the directions to Sugar Bar. The directions were kind of vague, but I remembered my cousin had showed me to how to read the subway map a couple of days prior. Lesson you've probably heard 1000 times: do what you're afraid of.

Here's some embarrassingly poor I took video of Andre performing:


Oh and don't forget to check Andre's best stuff out at: http://www.andrehenrymusic.com
If you live in NYC you're lucky, 'cause you can go to his shows.
