Mental Fitness Challenge

I am so pumped about this new Mental Fitness Challenge the just came out,  its gonna make such a difference for so many people.  Bill Lewis wrote and article on his blog about this also, I like it so much I am gonna share it with you.

I wanted to wait at least a week until I blogged about the new mental fitness challenge that   the -team.biz chairman, Orrin Woodward, and the rest of the policy counsel recently released.  The MFC, as we call it, is the latest improvement that has been made to the-life-business.com.    To say that this has created some excitement would be an understatement.  The results of the launch have been amazing, click on this link to get some of the statistics.

The challenge is a process of helping us to improve ourselves from the mental side of things.  Orrin has studied the lives of three historical, great, Americans, and each one of them had resolutions that they worked on implementing into their life.  Orrin and Chris Brady decided that they should put together a system that helps people systematically walk themselves through that same successful process.

The challenge is great because it provides one of the most important item of success.  It tells you were you are at.  As the saying goes if you don’t where you are starting, it’s going to be really hard to get your destination.   You could be heading down a path that you don’t need to be heading down, just because you lacked the information of what path you are already on.  The test gives you a pretty accurate assessment of the things you need to improve on and the correct paths to get you there.

The other benefit of the test is it helps you focus.  You can walk outside and enjoy the sunlight but you can also take that same sunlight and shine it through a magnifying glass and light things on fire.  The same is true with our personnel growth.  We can just enjoy the fact that we are alive or we can light ourselves on fire.  We tend to naturally work on the things that we are strong at and avoid the things we are weak at.  After you take the challenge you will have a clear understanding of the areas you need to grow in and therefore keep you focused on the next thing you need to do to become better.

 I really hope your up to the challenge.

How’s your growth over time?

If someone was a teenager and hadn’t grown since they were 10yrs old, there could be a chance for alarm. It’s so easy to see issues of growth physically but most people aren’t looking for growth internally.  Learning is an area in someones life that they don’t have limitations.  I know that if I wanted to get ripped physically I would eventually plateau.  Each of us has a DNA that limits us to certain potential levels physically.  On the contrary, you can be a life long learner.  The problem that most people, me included at a point, encounter is useless learning.

I hope that you have a way to measure your growth and a mentor to keep stretching your thinking.  A mentor is someone that is much better than you at the thing you are trying to get better at.  Many times you shouldn’t even understand the level of thinking the mentor is expressing, because they are talking from a whole different vantage point.  Everyone that achieves greatness refers back to someone who really stretched them at one point.  The worst part of that is they know that it took someone to help them get to that level of success and sometimes they won’t reach for the next mentor.  For example, John Wooden always talks about his father who set the bar very high in his life.  John Wooden became a historical icon.

In Hebrews 5:12- It sums it up.

12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13[For every one that useth milk ] is[ unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.] 14[But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, ] even[ those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

I take this as, over time we should become more proficient at what we are doing.  I remember hearing Orrin Woodward say that many people have one year of experience  thirty times, instead of thirty years of experience.  I want to encourage you to dig into your own growth and gain some ground.  Find someone to stretch you and help you achieve what you want to.

Here’s to your growth,

Who was Francis Scott Key?

As I grew up in school we used to do the Pledge of Allegiance.  I didn’t think it was a bad thing.  I don’t really remember the point were we stopped doing it, but I do remember the controversy about having GOD in it.  I guess that offended some people.  Interesting topic but thats not what this blog is about.

Francis Scott Key was the man who wrote the Star Spangled Banner song.  Most of us have grown up singing this song at sporting events and even in church from time to time.  I sang the words without even knowing what they represented.  Very moving when you know what the words actually mean.

I met a guy the other day and was telling him about the video that I am attaching.  The conversation was fine until I said that they intentionally don’t teach us this in our country.  We would get emotionally connected to the cause and it wouldn’t be as easy to take from us.  He rolled his eyes and walked away.  I think its sad that the culture we live in today doesn’t even want to hear about problems, its too much work to fix them.  I understand why most people don’t want to know, because they are never provided with an answer to what they can do.

Click here for video.

That is why LIFE was formed, for people to have a vehicle to make a difference.  There is a great pack called the Freedom Pack, you should get it and learn it.  If you will make the change in your life the ripple effect can go on forever.  Enjoy the video.  I hope it inspires you to dig into real history and not just the new history that has been rewritten.  Find out the real price that was given for your freedom and encourage others to dig in.

Our biggest opponent- Us.

I have had the pleasure of being around the teachings of Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady for 10yrs of my life now.  I have learned so much from them about how a true champion performs.  I am attaching a video to this article.  To me it explains the game that goes on for everyone out there trying to become great.  The biggest opponent is yourself.  You can either build yourself up or tear yourself down.  I watched this video and it made me think that if they only would have played on the same team against others they couldn’t have lost. Instead they spent the whole time playing each other and in the end, when one lost they both actually lost.

I read a book called The magic of thinking big and the author explains in there that you have to overcome you.  If you have not read this book yet I would highly recommend it.  Many people in life forget the game is against themselves and they spend there whole life blaming others for their lack of results.  If they would just try to be a better them today than yesterday they would win in the end.

Good luck on your personal journey in life.  Remember, your the biggest obstacle in your way.

Go Fly a Kite!

I remember about 4 years ago, Chris Brady did a talk about doing enough work to get momentum working in your favor.  He used kite flying as the example.  Since its almost spring and for me, at Easter I always got a kite as a kid. I thought it was a good time to bring the story back out.

When you go out to fly a kite you always put the kite on the ground and run out some string.  Then you walk till the string is tight and start running.  The problem that most people have in life is that they don’t run long enough to see momentum work for them.  They run 5 steps and stop to look at their kite.  When they see their kite laying on the ground they are frustrated.  If they keep running with the kite they will get it in the air and the resistance of the wind will keep it up there.  At that point they hardly have to work to keep it in the air.  Most people just don’t put enough work together in a consistent enough time to see the “wind” work for them.

People may do this in their budget, parenting, faith, fitness or business.

I think if you looked into the areas of your life that you are trying to (“fly a kite”) get results, you could use this as a great starting point to figure out if your doing enough work in a consistent enough way to get the results to stick.

When looking at someone who has a kite way up in the air they can just let out 50-100ft of line like nothing, its frustrating, especially when yours is still on the ground.

The encouraging thing, should be, if they did it so can you.

Good luck on your Kite Flying adventures.  I hope you run long enough to see how good you can be.

Recently I was looking through an old folder that we had when we 1st got involved with Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady, it was hilarious.  I was only 21 at the time and was in a position that I couldn’t seem to save $ no matter how hard I tried.  Aron Radosa told us right off the bat to make a dreams list of at least 100 things.  I couldn’t get to 100. I got to 51 and was hoping they would round up.  Today many of the things on my original list are insignificant in our life, but at the time it got me to think just a little bigger.  As I look back at the beginning of our business journey, I was hoping someone else would do all the work for me and I would get rich.  I know that is a silly thought but it was where I was mentally.  If we want something bad enough we need to go out there and get it. I wanted

#43 bad enough that I went out an got it. Enjoy at my expense.

I believe America needs LIFE, don’t you?

I am reading a new book called “Point Man” written by Steve Farrar.  Its a really good read, and very informative.  As I am reading it I am hoping that everyone will pick it up and read it.  He did a great job of explaining issues that we are facing and solutions to them.

I thought I would tell a few of his statistics and let you decide if America needs LIFE to bring quality info to the public so we can help:

 

-One out of every two marriages end in divorce.

-The median age for divorce is thirty-four for men and thirty for women.

-In 1960, one out of every ten households was maintained by a women with no husband present; in 1996, two out of every five households was maintained by a women with no husband present.

-Tonight, enough teenagers to fill the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl,and the average Super Bowl will practice prostitution to support drug addictions.

-One million teenage girls will get pregnant out of wedlock this year.

-Five hundred thousand of those girls will abort their babies.

-Of all the fourteen-year-old girls alive today, 40 percent will become pregnant by their 19th birthday.

-Sixty percent of American high school seniors have used illegal drugs.

-Every seventy-eight seconds, a teenager in America attempts suicide.

 

I am so glad to be a part of a group that is taking great info to the public and helping those statistics change.  We have a problem of pandemic proportions.  These are the kind of problems that will crumble any civilization.  There were no special life boats on the Titanic for the rich, and there won’t be in America either.

Its time to take a stand and do something about it.  Lets go make a Difference and not just a living.

leave a comment if you think America needs LIFE.

Cheers,

Steve
