“What Really Makes You Tick?” 10 Questions You Should Ask Yourself: A Preparation To Self-Improvement

elf-improvement: Improvement of one’s condition through one’s own efforts.

I often see myself as somewhat content with my life the way things are, but of course it’s hard to think of anything else when there are real issues to be discussed.

2. Should I really change? Today’s generation has taken another level of redefining ‘self ’, or at least that’s what the kids are saying. There are far

Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful. So we’re all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn’t bother nor even hinder us in becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. The saying goes “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks…” or can they?

1. What do I really want? The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day. Find something that you are good at that can help you realize small steps towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.

worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle? If history has taught us one thing, it’s the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying “Seventies style” wouldn’t appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing

them how to really dance rather than break their bones in break-dancing.

3. What’s the bright side of all of this? With so much happening around us there seems to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it’s a train at the end of the tunnel, take a ride and see what

what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn’t take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we’ll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.

5. Have I done enough for myself? Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you’ll be able to see and do things you could never imagine doing.

6. Am I happy where I am today?

It’s an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life! Do you earn enough money? Hate your job? Wanna start your own business?

7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex? makes the world go round!

4. Am I comfortable with what I’m doing?

So maybe I don’t have an answer to that, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try it. Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit.

There’s always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding I Got The Keys 2016 | Visit MB30Club.com

8. How much could I have? I suppose in this case there is no such thing as having too much or too little, but it’s more on how badly you really need it. I’d like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it?

9. What motivates me? What motivates you? It’s an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of them may be the hardest part. It’s not like you can’t have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that’s it. Just try it piece by piece.

10. What Really Makes You Tick? So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it’s something that you really want. So there we have it. 10 simple questions to ask yourself. Do you want to improve? I do not have all the answers for you. Some can only answer for yourself. Someone once asked me :’Daryl, why

you working so damn hard? Would earning more money make you happy?’ To that I answered :’I am not working hard at all. Not as hard as I should, but I enjoy it. I enjoy the process and the rewards I get. Earning more money does make me happier. It pays the bills, for the nice ring I could get my wife and the vacation I deserve.’ Materialistic that reply may seem, but the little materialistic goals in my life gets me moving off my fat behind and seek ways to improve my life. Self-improvement: Improvement of one’s condition through one’s own efforts I have my motivation. What about you?

Aim HIGH C

hange is difficult for many people. Often times our whole identity is wrapped up in what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned as children will work for us when dealing with people, allowing us to survive, thrive and fit in. While some people have had to learn to thrive in the midst of change and learned to be adaptable by being open to new ideas and embracing change, many others have had to fight for survival and every tablescrap that came their way. Behavior is learned and it takes work to unlearn and dismantle these old beliefs.

The truth of the matter is that win-win is always possible. When you are able to see beyond the ego and recognize the abundance that is available, people, minds, and ideas come together and can create amazing changes that improve the current scenarios for many, many people. When you work with people who have this abundant and generous attitude, you are uplifted, the team soars, and amazing energy and creativity is unleashed. This is much harder to do, to sustain, and to elevate within others when you encounter individuals driven by the thought of scarcity and competition.

People like Steve Jobs are visionaries that have sought to bring about such shifts in society and in business. One thing I’ve learned along the way is that

“IT IS OFTEN BETTER TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD.” ... this isn’t about judging others as wrong or seeing yourself as better than others. This is about recognizing your truth as to how you wish to BE in the world. Don’t compromise your integrity. Don’t get caught up in the competition. See the vision, see the outcome, feel the purpose and passion you’re driven to offer the world, and give it freely. We all die. You can’t take anything from this life with you. So give what you have to offer the world. What is not given is lost forever. If your goal is to truly bring about a positive change and serve others, how it is accomplished becomes less important and seeing it accomplished becomes more important. While it may be a blow to your ego when others criticize your inspiration, or someone takes the credit for something you’ve introduced, holding fast to the benefits for everyone will often soften the sting. You do need to pick and choose those places where you’ll offer yourself, the key is to evaluate whether it is serving a common good. When you’re getting compensated for your contributions, gratitude would serve you spirit of peace. If you continually feel abused and stomped on, maybe it is time to move on to a more collaborative team, as well as a more receptive and appreciative audience. Knowing that you are accomplishing your purpose and living your passion will be reward. In time, it will be recognized. Imposters will eventually be seen and heart & soul will always outlast the mind & ego. Along the way, through the journey that is your life and career, you will need to hold fast to the true inner qualities and nature of the brilliance that is you. Don’t allow these negative experiences to become something that undermines your value. You are not the negative experience. Often times, the negativity we experience from others, is more a reflection of them and less about who you are. We all have different lenses, different gifts, different wiring, and different experiences. Difference is not something to be judged, it is a gift of diversity that brings the pieces of the puzzle of life together and creates a society, a solution, a technology, etc., together for the benefit of us all. Don’t doubt yourself when others cannot see the vision you see. Keep true, keep your intentions, and you will attract the right support, the right people, and the right opportunities. Lower the ego and aim high the vision. I Got The Keys 2016 | Visit MB30Club.com

5 COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS

hysical fitness is the ability to function effectively throughout your workday, perform your usual other activities and still have enough energy left over to handle any extra stresses or emergencies which may arise. The components of physical fitness are: * Cardiorespiratory (CR) endurance - the efficiency with which the body delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for muscular activity and transports waste products from the cells. * Muscular strength - the greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort. * Muscular endurance - the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated movements with a sub-maximal force for extended periods of times.

* Flexibility - the ability to move the joints or any group of joints through an entire, normal range of motion. * Body composition - the percentage of body fat a person has in comparison to his or her total body mass. Improving the first three components of fitness listed above will have a positive impact on body composition and will result in less fat. Excessive body fat detracts from the other fitness components, reduces performance, detracts from appearance, and negatively affects

your health.

Factors such as speed, agility, muscle power, eye-hand coordination, and eye-foot coordination are classified as components of â&#x20AC;&#x153;motorâ&#x20AC;? fitness. These factors most affect your athletic ability. Appropriate training can improve these factors within the limits of your potential. A sensible weight loss and fitness program seeks to improve or maintain all the components of physical and motor fitness through sound, progressive, mission specific physical training.

Principles of Exercise

Adherence to certain basic exercise principles is important for developing an effective program. The same principles of exercise apply to everyone at all levels of physical training, from the Olympic-caliber athlete to the weekend jogger. These basic principles of exercise must be followed.

Regularity

To achieve a training effect, you must exercise often. You should exercise each of the first four fitness components at least three times a week. Infrequent exercise can do more harm than good. Regularity is also important in resting, sleeping, and following a sensible diet.

Progression

The intensity (how hard) and/or duration (how long) of exercise must gradually increase to improve the level of fitness.

Balance

To be effective, a program should include activities that address all the fitness components, since overemphasizing any one of them may hurt the others.

Variety

Providing a variety of activities reduces boredom and increases motivation and progress.

Specificity

Training must be geared toward specific goals. For example, people become better runners if their training emphasizes running. Although swimming is great exercise, it does not improve a 2-mile-run time as much as a running program does.

Recovery

A hard day of training for a given component of fitness should be followed by an easier training day or rest day for that component and/or muscle group(s) to help permit recovery. Another way to allow recovery is to alternate the muscle groups exercised every other day, especially when training for strength and/or muscle endurance.

Overload

The work load of each exercise session must exceed the normal demands placed on the body in order to bring about a training effect. I Got The Keys 2016 | Visit MB30Club.com

Drugs The Picture of D W

hen you think of drug addiction, what kind of picture do you get in your mind? Do you see a person dressed in tattered clothes sitting in a rain soaked alley with needle in hand? Do you picture addiction in terms of a person begging on the street for money to buy just one more hit? The picture of drug addiction can be either of these images, but you might surprised to learn that there is another side of drug addiction you may never have thought of. Consider that the picture of drug addiction includes a man in a business suit sitting at a desk every day working a full-time job. He has a family, chil-

dren, a dog, and a wife. To everyone else, he projects the picture of having it all. The only problem is, the pressure of life got to him and he looked for a way out. A colleague offered him some cocaine. He liked the way it made him feel. Now he juggles credit card advances to pay for his $100 a day habit.

The picture of drug addiction could also be the popular cheerleader at your child’s high school. She’s blonde, beautiful, smart, and personable. But every morning, she takes a shot of vodka to stop the shakes. At lunch, she drinks a six-pack in her car, and at night, she’s at all the parties drinking until someone has to bring her home because she’s

Drug Addiction passed out.

Finally, the picture of drug addiction could also be in the form of a bored housewife. She has three children, laundry, dishes, and many other responsibilities. She’s tired all the time and sometimes just can’t get out of bed because of her exhaustion. She saw something on television about housewives taking their child’s Ritalin for energy. She decides to try it with her own 7-year old’s medication. Now she has to make excuses to the pediatrician why her child has run out of medicine before he should have.

their luck bum (so to speak) begging on the streets for money to buy drugs, but the cold reality is that drug addiction occurs in all walks of life to all types of people. Drug addiction has no boundaries and doesn’t pick and choose its victims.

The picture of drug addiction has changed over the years to include your neighbor, your child’s teacher, and even possibly your clergy. No one is immune, but all can get help. If you notice drug addiction in someone you care about, have a talk with them and encourage them to get help for their problem. Maybe one day, the picture of drug addiction will be a blank canvas.

Sure, we all picture a person with drug addiction as the homeless, down-onI Got The Keys 2016 | Visit MB30Club.com

How to Cultivate A Belief System That Works For you!

t is interesting to note that most of society is free. There is a percentage of the populous that is incarcerated for crimes against society. So too, are there people who live in political cultures that do not value the freedom of its’ people. Nevertheless, the majority of the people in the world live in relative freedom. They can choose whom they marry, what they do for a living, and where they live. Most societies allow their people to move around freely without restraint. As long as an individual is obeying the laws, that person has wide latitude in conduct. The freedoms offered by governments are physical freedoms that all its’ law abiding members enjoy. However, many operate in a “prison like” atmosphere regardless of what they are given. This prison does not exist on the material plane. Rather, it is a creation of the mind. It is manufactured from an individual’s belief system. These beliefs become people’s jailers. Most will tell you that they can think for themselves. To suggest that they are incapable of creating their own ideas is met with an overwhelming attitude to the contrary. All their success, experiences, and intelligence give a sense of independence. They mistakenly believe that their belief systems is of their own making. Un-

fortunately for them, it is not. A fundamental concept to creating the life that you desire is to create a belief system that works for you. Contrary to what most think, our belief systems are shaped by the influences around us. Teachers, parents, friends, co-workers, and institutions all have input into the beliefs that we live by. Have you ever noticed how children’s ideas often reflect those of their parents? This is so common that political organizations poll school children during Presidential elections because they accurately reflect the sentiment of the adults. The governments of the world are masters at shaping the belief system of it’s people. Through the use of propaganda, public opinion is swayed based upon the desires of those in power. This is often done in the name of nationalism. A group of people is established as a threat to the society. Events are shown to validate this viewpoint while creating the emotional dislike towards that group. Thus, the government is free to act as it sees fit with the full support of its people. Unfortunately, most people do not have firsthand experience to form a solid conclusion. Of course, they will defend their belief even though they are not certain where it came from.

It is common for people and organizations to manipulate others beliefs for the sake of control. The government is one example. Some religions throughout history has acted in a similar manner. They used threat of an angry Deity and eternal damnation to control the masses. There were numerous instances where the Church of England was the most powerful organization in Europe. With a following that is under control, it is much easier to maintain influence. Naturally, there are many denominations where this is not the case. So too, are there many people whose lives are enhanced by their religious affiliation. Unfortunately, this is not true in all instances. The key to a belief systems is creating one that works for you. As an adult, you have the freedom to believe anything that you desire. Spending time questioning where some of your beliefs came from is healthy. It is also effective to determine whether they still work for you. If they assist you into being happy, joyous, and free, then they are worthwhile. However, when they instill pain, perhaps it is time to rethink them.

mance which never was good enough. Mistakes were not forgiven but something to be used as a weapon to make the other feel worse. All this was done as a form of control. Leap forward 20 years and you find that a person who grew up in this atmosphere often still carries these beliefs. Even though recent experiences will prove to the contrary, the individual still hears the words of the parent. It affects the relationships with friends, lovers, coworkers, and oneself. Without some help, the person is often incapable of healthy interaction with others. There is a degree of sickness in all that is done. Thus, the individual turns to other things to fill that void that exists whether it is drugs, alcohol, sex, or food. However, if the belief system was viewed as insane, the person might be apt to change it. Simply altering a few of the basic beliefs one holds regarding oneself miraculously changes life. The more that we can accept that it is likely that what we believe came from others, the better our chances are of attaining freedom. There are many things that were taught to us by others growing up which serve us well. This is especially true if we were raised in a loving home. However, society being as selfish as it is, there is much that stands in our way of happiness. Analyzing our belief system gets to the root of what motivates us. A system that contains a great deal of fear will cause one to often act out of that fear. The opposite is also true. To create ‘our’ life, it begins with creating ‘our’ own belief system.

Ironically, the beliefs that seem to cause the most chaos in people’s lives come from those who love us the most. Many individuals suffer from psychological disorders due to the influences of their parents. Things such as low self esteem, abandonment, and sexual issues all come from our upbringing. Typically, one who suffers from any of these, was made to feel guilty and shameful. Their worth was shown to be tied to their perforI Got The Keys 2016 | Visit MB30Club.com

Top 7 Ways To Get MORE Followers On Social Media

f you want to grow your social media account then you should be actively looking for new ways to get extra followers. The more followers you get, the larger the number of people that each of your new posts will be automatically broadcast to. This is ultimately one of the primary objectives of social media and it’s what will give you a lot more reach and authority thus ensuring that all your hard work is not for naught. But how do you go about growing your followers when you’re starting from humble beginnings? Read on and we’ll look at some of the best ways to do so! Add People This is one of the simplest and easiest ways to get more followers. Simply head onto your platform of choice and then go about adding as many people as you can. What you’ll find is that a large proportion of those people you add will

respond in kind and immediately add you back. It can be slow going but it’s an almost guaranteed way to extend your reach and influence.

Reshare Retweeting, repining or resharing is

one of the very best ways to grow your following. Why? Because once again the people you help out will often want to do the same for you and that way you can expose yourself to their audience too.

Team Up If you find the above strategy doesn’t work then you should try agreeing to team up before you go ahead. Give a shout out to your followers in exchange for someone else doing the same for you and you both will stand to benefit.

Use Smart #tags Cross Pollinate Using the right hashtags and peo- If you have a captive audience already ple will easily find your posts when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for related topics. Check whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trending then post about that.

then make sure you leverage that opportunity. Ask your blog readers to follow you, your YouTube audience, your mailing list & even customers who you see in person!

Encourage Build Followers Sharing This sounds like a catch22 but the Some posts are simply more sharable than others. Amusing videos are always a good way to get a share or retweet, as is writing a positive review (as the company you are reviewing will often want to spread your message).

more followers you have the more followers you will continue to gain. The reason for this is simple: people like to join accounts that look popular. For this reason followers beget followers and once you build up enough, it will become self-perpetuating.

Success Story

he remarkable success story of Tishina Anderson, the multi-millionaire by 30-years-old who was born & raised in Baltimore, is today a befitting motivation for both old and young entrepreneurs. Here’s what our editor, Andre` D. Mitchell II and Tishina Anderson had to say in an exclusive interview.

Tishina’s first business venture!

At a very young age, I can remember starting off with selling icy cups out of our home. Then, off to college where I had a nail salon in my apartment, and had my first job as a store manager. After my college degree, I ventured into network marketing, just to keep my feet wet in entrepreneurship. At age 27, I started off well enough to quit my job. After about 7 months of being involved in the company, I got to the top within a few short years. Yes, I did make millions of dollars in the company and now I’ve gone beyond building my own brand, I’m showing my children how to become successful entrepreneurs. There’s also an extreme passion of mine which I’ve just happen to love. It’s my coaching career where I teach others about business, life and finances.

This is it. I grew up in a single parent household and mom didn’t have much income for all the things I wanted. You know, I wanted the new stuff like other kids had. So when I thought about how I could make extra money, I came up with the idea of selling frozen cups which a lot of kids on our block bought for 25 cents. I even sold candy to my friends in elementary school (laughs).

It’s not about your age or skill; it’s all about your Mindset.

Very early in my career, I remember reading one of Russell Simmon’s books where I learned that my outfit had to look like those I’m marketing to. So I wasn’t wearing crazy colors, just threepiece suits and my nail colors weren’t really loud. Sometimes you have to fake it until you make it, and I think my proThe Sale that started it all... fessional look and the way I carried myI Got The Keys 2016 | Visit MB30Club.com 18

self made my clients feel comfortable. Also, you definitely have to sound like you know what you’re talking about. However, that doesn’t mean clients wouldn’t listen to someone who is smarter, who is younger and is trying to be in the business for themselves. I think what people respect more is not the age, but just the level of seriousness and interest you take in what you are talking about.

one who’s a little older and established. Even at the gym, there was a day I saw my childhood pastor who has a mega church and I was like, “What am I going to say to him?” and “How am I going to go over and talk business with him?” I was afraid and I did it anyway. You just have to break through the fear that you might have placed in your own mind.

“Good in, Good out!”

For me, I believe in the 80%-20% rule. That is, 80% is the mind-

Build Key Parterships

If anyone knows the true me, you’ll know I’m not the outgoing person. It was actually through friends, family members, and really getting out there and just not being afraid. The moment you want something bad enough and there’s the potential to get it, all these things will outweigh your fears and limitations. So you need to get out there networking. I remember so many times like that, whether it was talking to my son’s teacher, pediatrician or any-

set while 20% should focus on skill, ability and work. Till today, I mostly feed my mind with good things. I start every morning with meditation, listening to a lot of CDs, and watching YouTube videos on anything that’s self-educating. Even when I’m running, I think about new ideas. Les Brown was one of my favorites and I could remember I bought 14 -15 CDs in one package. I listened to one of his CDs for about a month because I played it over and over again to get his motivational words engrained in my mind before picking the next. Those are the things that helped me throughout

the years to progress in life.

“Competition?” What competition?

I think we are all unique in our ways. Even when someone can have a very similar setup, it will never be the exact same as mine. I’ve heard a lot from others that I’m the one who is always keeping it real, and that’s true because I don’t put a lot of fluff around things. I’m just not comfortable with giving you a lie and I think I’ve always been open and honest about all the things I do.

There are so many good and bad situations that I’ve passed through, all without complaining or making excuses. I always make sure I learn more and move forward in any situation and to help someone else going through the same in life. Yes, I’ve passed through a lot without making excuses, I’ve been able to make millions and I still stand strong today. And that’s how you can do it as well.

nances on having fun. I mean what happens when you’re under 30 and making millions of dollars, you go out, do shopping sprees, like taking my best friend out to Paris to buy $30,000 worth of clothes and shoes, like just walking into a store to buy a $17,000 bling out watch and having a good time. I was completely clueless about money, you know sometimes we don’t always have that wiser person in our ear saying, “hold on, and slow down. This is what you do with your money before you blow it all.” And if you look back, you give your younger self some advice. I should

have looked more towards my future and on how I would have wanted my money to grow. I thought because I’ve made $1,000,000 that I was actually a millionaire, which is actually not the truth. A lot of people say it all the time, “I’m a millionaire, I’m a million dollar owner.” Okay that sounds great. But what are you worth? So I had to change my philosophy from how much was I making to be how much am I saving and how much am I actually worth and what Is your Mind on your money or is I wanted my wealth to mean. It took months and months of learning, remoney only on your mind? searching, and reading before deciding I’ve really had focused a lot of my fi- what I wanted my wealth to look like. I I Got The Keys 2016 | Visit MB30Club.com 20

just wanted to be debt-free. One time, I remember meeting financial expert Gigi Oman at a concert. I bought her book and I got a few minutes chatting with her. I remember telling her how much I made and she started asking certain things about my finances. When I told her I still had $30,000 student loan, she cursed at me. She said, “What the f*** are you doing?” My eyes were opened and I was shocked. But what I didn’t realize back then was that I was completely clueless about money, interest rates and where my money should go when I brought it in. So I started educating myself on where I wanted my money to be and I realized I needed to be debt free. And who says your home should be paid off? I wanted to own my home outright, so I would be able to pass it down to my children. Besides buying real estate, I wanted an emergency fund. I wanted it set aside incase anything ever happened to my business. Then I wanted to grow money in bonds and stocks, and I really didn’t know anything about retirement plans. I really didn’t know anything about

individual brokerage accounts where I could make my money grow more. I was just clueless about many things – about how much I should invest in real estate and how much I would need for the rest of my life. So I started educating myself through apps, audio books, seminars and online webinar courses. Then I got millions of dollars in skills to achieve all my ultimate goals. What I’ve discovered about money is that:

“It doesn’t matter how much money you’re making in a year, you can build towards that comfort level if you would just work on your wealth.”

Tashina’s Final Thoughts

Nothing happens sitting still… and I think entrepreneurship offers you the ability to be free within yourself. It allows you to find out the things you love about yourself and why you were made. Here are the 3 final Major Key’s I would like to share with anyone who might be hesitant about becoming an entrepreneur.

1 2 3

You should figure out what you’re talented in and what you would venture into if someone wasn’t paying you.

Get out there and figure out ways to create a unique product or service that others would pay for.

Figure out how to market yourself properly in getting people to use those services you’ve created.

It’s nothing to be afraid of. After all, you are just trying something that would make you happy in life. So educate yourself, stay around positive like-minded people and it will turn into something big as long as you are aggressive making it come to life.

Don’t become a slave to your “Stuff”!

o you have things like a bicycle, jetski, or swimming pool that sit unused? Is it that you don’t have time to use them because you have to work so much just to pay for them? Sometimes it seems like all the things we own somehow own us. The bad news is that it’s often true. We have to arrange our lives around our things. You get a new truck that can go anywhere, but you’re too busy working to go there. Someone is out fishing while you are putting in overtime to pay for your fishing boat. You use your largescreen television a lot, but does it sufficiently reduce the debt-stress that came with it?

Break The Chains! The good news is that there’s a better way. Actually, there are three better ways. First, know what you really value. Second, use cash instead of debt. Third, learn how to look at costs and benefits. Will you really enjoy that $2,000 mountain bicycle enough? Maybe. This isn’t about right or wrong desires. It’s a question of truly seeing your own values. Think back to things you’ve bought but not used, or not used enough. What truly enjoyable things could you do with- that money if 25

you had it now? You’ve got to be self aware and honest. that money if you had it now? You’ve got to be self aware and honest. Cash is king. The price may seem the same, but put those things on a credit card and, with interest, you’ll pay a lot more. Cash means you have to save and wait a little for things, but you can buy more and have less stress. Credit cards provide the illusion of a richer life. Escaping debt gives you the reality. Finally, learn to understand costs and benefits. A friend once came to the realization, using pen and paper, that his jetski cost him $300 for every hour he used it the first year. Loan interest, gas, insurance, depreciation, repairs, licenses - these things add up. And he thought it was too expensive to pay $100 per day to rent one! Consider the real costs of things, and look for a cheaper way, or at least make an honest decision that it’s worth $300 per hour to you. Your things should be making your life better. If they aren’t, you need to start looking at them differently. Don’t let your things own you. Change your approach.

o you endorse yourself? Are you supportive of who you are? How about being an advocate of your life? If you answered yes to all of these questions, I applaud you. Keep up the good work and encourage another person to do the same. If you answered no to any or all of the above questions, let’s talk. You may have questions like: “Why would I endorse myself? I am not a business;” or “I’m not for sale.” There may also be other thoughts and questions traveling through your mind. Let’s take a look at the content of each of these questions.

1. Endorse yourself.

To endorse is to approve, validate, recommend. The most important endorser of your life is you. You must first find validity in you, approve who you are, and applaud yourself before others do the same. For example, a company that does not find the authenticity in what they are providing to consumers will see a low demand. Be your biggest fan.

2. Support who you are.

To support is to care for, assist, provide maintenance.

Do you have a support system? Great. Are you at the top of the list? Take care of you because if you don’t, no one else will. Make sure you give yourself what you need before looking for it from others. Just as a vehicle has regular maintenance, schedule self-care maintenance. Be your best sponsor.

How Text Messaging Can Help to Improve Your Sex Life!

re you looking for an easy, yet unique way to improve your sex life or even just your relationship in general? Improving your relationship through the use of text messages is a fun and creative, yet unique approach to take. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already tired this approach, you should. As nice as it is to hear that text messaging can help to improve your communication or your sex life, you may be looking for more information. First, you may be wondering if it is really possible to do. Can a simple text message ignite passion in your relationship? Yes, it can. In fact, you may be surprised at just how much passion can be ignited. Please continue reading on for more information on just how it can

and should be done. For starters, do you have any sexual fantasies or desires that you would like to see transformed into reality? Are you bored with your current level of intimacy and would like to make changes? If so, you need to speak with your partner. Unfortunately, this is often a lot easier said than done for some men and women. You should have no problem talking to your partner about intimacy, but the subject may be one that makes you feel uncomfortable. If that is the case, text messaging may be an easy approach to take. The ability to mask yourself behind a cell phone may provide you with a certain level of comfort and peace of mind.

In addition to using text messages as a way to improve your communication and your sex life, you can and should use it as a form of foreplay. Unfortunately, many individuals make the mistake of assuming that foreplay can only happen in the bedroom, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be that way. Is your partner on their way home from work? Are you in the mood for intimacy? If you are, send them a few sexy, seductive, and suggestive text messages. In a few creative words, let them know that you are at home waiting for them and ready for an adventure.

As romantic and as adventurous as using a cell phone to add new life to your intimacy can be, it is also important to proceed with caution. There are a few important dos and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts that you first need to know. Do not send sexy or seductive text messages to a family cell phone. A family cell phone can be defined as one that all members of the family uses, like one that your son or daughter may borrow. These types of text messages are and should be private. Also, avoid sending text messages to work issued cell phones. Often times, text messages are not allowed, but they may also be viewed by others.

relationship or marriage, text messages can also be used as a way to court new partners. Did you just recently get the phone number of a nice and attractive man or woman at a bar or party? If you did, send them a flirty text message. For many, sending a text message is a lot easier than placing an actual phone call. When first making contact, be sure to use caution and your best judgment. Do not go overboard or be too sexy or seductive. There is a better time and place for these types of messages. Speaking of that time and place, wait until after you have received a response

back or until after your first real date. As a recap, text messaging is a unique, fun, and creative way to improve your sex life. You may be more than pleased with the results. As a reminder, text messages can also be used to get the communication started in a new relationship.

30YearsLater Building A Successful Relationship

t was May of 1986, I developed a deep crush on this handsome, athletically built guy who had a heart of gold. We had been friends, but we each wanted more. It was his senior year, and my junior year of high school, and he was about to graduate. Fast forward 30 years later, after 24 yrs and 10 months of marriage ... we can’t imagine life without each other. We were blessed to have met our soulmates early on, because we have been able to build together (our family and our businesses) and grow together. We now have 3 extraordinary children, Andre’

II (24), Yavante’ (19), and our beautiful red headed unexpected blessing Yakira Faith (7). We have been asked by many, how are we still so happy together. I understand, because it stills feels like we are in our honeymoon phase. We believe that prioritizing our lives is key. We always put God 1st, our Family 2nd, and everything and everyone else 3rd. We believe that 3 foundational building blocks of our marriage are: 1) Love for each other, 2) Respect for each other, and 3) Communication between each other.

Love.

Yes, we love each other dearly, and could not see life without each other. Yes, our love for each other is a strong attraction for each other physically, mentally, emotionally, and definitely spiritually. Yet love means so many things to so many different people. For us, its pretty simple, we fit. For us it means that we complete each other, and we each give 100%, not 50-50, it is selfless, putting each other first, we are ONE, and we have a bond that is truly inexplicable. We engage in giving and receiving- he gives me what I need...he IS what/who I need, and vice versa. I will also add, that our love also has conditions attached. We both know what those conditions are, and agree to the conditions. Our love is also somewhat unconditional, in that because we are each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friends, no matter what, we will always want the best for each other. I could speak on this all day, but it is truly a win/win relationship.

Respect. When you love some-

one, a daily action that occurs is respect shown for each other and their feelings. We agree with Eggerich. He describes that when a woman shows respect for her man, it motivates his love for her. And when a man shows love for his woman, it motivates her respect. That is as simple as it gets for us. Respect is a non negotiable for us...it is required and it is honored.

Communication.

entire body. The organs function better because of it. When thoughts and feelings flow like water between partners, it feels good and it supports the relationship and the entire family. When communication is blocked, pressure builds up and the relationship feels some turbulence. Communication is listening, feeling, and conversing. A great way of learning how to communicate better is learning to listen more than talking. I have had to learn this skill, well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still learning. But there are great ways to communicate even the hard topics with love and respect! Great communication engergizes the best relationships. In conclusion, we believe that we have a successful marriage/relatioship. For us it means: 1) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never slept separate because of any issues, 2) when we disagree, we agree to table it until later, 3) we never go to bed angry, 4) we plan our goals together, 5) we put each other first, 6) we work together (as parents and as business partners), and last but definitely not least 7) God is the center of our unity circle of marriage, and He is the head of our lives.

Love. Respect. Communication.

Together, they create a solid foundation upon which we have built a great relationship, wonderful family, and continue to build a great legacy of prosperity for our children, and our future grandchildren. Many Blessings, Yolanda Mitchell (endorsed by Andre Mitchell)

All about Facial Skin Care

Facial skin care is more a matter of discipline than anything else. A facial skin care routine is what you need (and you need to follow the facial skin care routine with complete seriousness). So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check what comprises an effective facial skin care routine. Well, very simply, a facial skin care routine can follow the following 4 steps:

* Cleansing * Toning * Exfoliating * Moisturizing Cleansing is the first thing in facial skin care routine. Cleansing helps in removing dust, pollutants, grease and extra oil from your skin, thereby preventing damage to your skin. Just spot your face and neck with a good cleansing lotion or cream and gently massage it into your skin using upward strokes. Use a soft face tissue or cotton wool to wipe your face in a gentle patting fashion (do not rub). Cleansing should be done at least twice a day i.e. morning (as part of complete facial skin care

routine) and evening (on a standalone basis). Water soluble cleansers are the best for inclusion in your facial skin care routine. Toning is the next in a facial skin care routine. However, this is the optional part of the facial skin care routine. Mostly, proper cleansing can compensate for toning. Toning helps remove all traces of dirt, grease and excess cleanser. Instead of making it part of your daily facial skin care routine, you can using toning occasionally , for example when you have been exposed to particularly harsh environment/pollution. Exfoliation is again, kind of an optional step in everyday routine for facial skin care. However, exfoliation is necessary at least once a week (or twice, depending on the skin type and the environmental conditions). Exfoliation finds its place in facial skin care routine because of the natural tendency of skin to replenish the skin cells every 3 or 4 weeks. As a facial skin care technique, exfoliation helps in removing the dead skin cells that block the pores, thus as-

sisting the skin in the natural process. However, excessive or harsh exfoliation can cause damage to your skin; so you need to balance it out. The next thing in facial skin care is moisturizing. In fact, moisturizing is the most important part of facial skin care routine. Moisturizers prevent your skin from getting dry. Dry skin is really undesirable since it cause the upper layer skin to break, leading to dead skin cells. Again, use light upward strokes to make the moisturiser more effective. Moisturisers work the best when applied on warm and damp skin. So do not try to remove all the moisture in the previous steps of facial skin care routine.

tine, you should also exercise the following for facial skin care: * Use proper make-up remover instead of just washing it away * Pay heed to your skin type and the environment, when choosing facial skin care products. * Before you start using a new facial skin care product, test it by applying it on a short patch of skin e.g. ear lobes. * Never rub your skin too hard. * Use sunscreen lotions for protection against sun.

Real Men, Real Fathers S et ting REA L E x amples !

t seems like more and more our society is discounting the importance of the role fathers play in their children’s lives. Whether it is the promotion of single parenting or the feminist movement, fathers have lost their status as the foundation of the family. This shift has had tremendous ramifications for today’s youth. Countless studies show that when the Father is absent from the home, children are more likely to live in poverty, have lower self-esteem and perform worse in school. With divorce rates at an alltime high, even 50% in the churches, many fathers have been ushered out of the home. It is no wonder our youth are experiencing a moral crisis today. I know how important my father is in my life. My dad is the glue that holds my family together. He is the pillar of strength and wisdom, the example of unconditional love and zeal for the ways of the Lord. Too often though, even in Christian homes, fathers neglect to be the leaders God requires of them.

Parents Turn Off the Television and Tune into Your Family.

Spend quality time with your family and get to know their lives intimately. When you have a close personal relationship with your family, they will honour your guidance because they cannot bear to disappoint you. Also, for at least one meal per day, let’s eat together as a family. This is the perfect time to catch up on what is going on in each other’s lives, and can set the framework for further one-on-one time. Discipline with Love-Never in Anger. “My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in” (Proverbs 3:11-12). Discipline can be as difficult to implement as it is to receive, but we need guidance and correction. Work with us to establish boundaries and appropriate punishments for crossing the line. Consistency is essential in this process. We should know in advance the consequences for breaking the rules. Discipline us with consistency, wisdom, and love. See Hebrews 12:5-11. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

We Must Lead By Example Teach the Ways of the Lord. God holds parents accountable to teach their children His ways. Fathers, as heads of the family, it is your responsibility to ensure that your family is Godcentred. We need to learn to apply Godly principles in our lives from an early age, not just in church-related matters, but also to every aspect of our lives. A father must honour his childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mother. It is through your relationship with your wife that the children first learn about relationships between men and women. When your son sees the love and respect you show to his mother, he will learn to treat women the same way when he is older. And your daughters will hold high standards in romantic relationships because we will not settle for anyone who does not treat us as well as our father treated our mother. Do not fight in front of your children. Even teenage children will personalize parental disputes that may have nothing to do with them. Show your wife love and respect and they will emulate this behavior.

15:17-24). The mark of a loving parent is the willingness to forgive. Lets switch gears a little to how you can minister to many or mentor many. One of the first things Christians need to know is you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be an ordained Minister to minister! To minister means to attend to the needs and comfort of another.

You must Show Affection. Hugs and I love you are not just for your wife; we need to feel in our hearts that Dad loves us, so do not be afraid to show your daughters and sons plenty of affection. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him (Luke 15:17-24).

ciples for ministering to others. For one thing, we must do our best to find common ground with those we come in contact with. It is a big mistake to display a know-it-all-attitude. We must do our best to make others feel accepted. We need to be sensitive to the needs and concerns of others and look for opportunities to tell them about Christ.

always willing to go the extra mile to meet people where they were. He always kept his eyes focused on the goal of spreading the Good News. Paul’s life focused on taking the gospel to an unbelieving world. These principles should be a part of our personal ministry, for they are just as valid for us today as they were for Paul in his day.

Team Effort is Necessary for True Ministry! Paul explained to the church at Corinth that no one person should do everything. Paul’s gift was preaching, and that’s what he did. He was emphasizing the need for Christian ministry to be a team effort. No preacher or teacher is a complete link between God and His people. Likewise, no individual can do all that the apostles did. Each Christian should be content with the gift or contribution God has given him/her to make, and he/she should carry it out with a whole heart. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought (1 Corinthians 1:10). Paul was pleading to the believers to allow real harmony to exist among them and to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. Of course, Paul was not saying they had to be exactly the same to be perfectly united. Instead, he wanted them to set aside their arguments and focus on Jesus Christ as Lord, and their mission to take the light of the gospel into a dark world.

Paul chose to find common ground with everyone and those with weak consciences in order that some might be saved. However, Paul never compromised the gospel truth, the Laws of God, or his own conscience. Paul was I Got The Keys 2016 | Visit MB30Club.com

What does the word Mentoring mean? And how does one be a successful Mentor? Webster says, A Mentor is a wise adviser, a trusted teacher and counselor. This description tells us that not just anyone will be capable of fulfilling the duties of a mentor. Usually, wisdom rides on the head of an older person. Trusting in someone comes with communication over a long period of time. When you find someone who has wisdom, who is trustworthy, and also has the ability to teach good things, you will have found much more than a friend for life, you will have found a Mentor. A mentor should be a best friend. A mentor, preferably, should not be a person your own age, but older and wiser when it comes to life. Real friendships involves face-to-face honesty. Real friendships also involve loyalty. What kind of a mentoring friend would you be, if you had the chance? There is a vast difference between knowing someone well and being a true mentoring friend. The greatest evidence of a genuine mentoring friendship is loyalty, which loves at all times. In 1 Corinthians 13:7 one reads the importance of being available to help in times of distress or personal struggles. Too many people are fair-weather friends. They stick around when the friendship helps them and leave when they’re not getting anything out of the relationship. Think of your friends and appraise your loyalty to them. Be the kind of true mentoring friend the Bible encourages. Jesus Christ is our Lord and master, yet He calls us His friends. How comforting and reassuring to be chosen as Christ’s friends.
