Sometimes I feel like an anomaly. I work a 9-5, run my own business, and spend my free time learning. I listen to world news podcasts, devour personal and professional development books, read up on the history of countries around the world, and spend my television time on shows that stimulate my brain.

There are some things I'm pretty good at.

Intention; does it govern result?

You can be reading this to get some much-needed breathing space. It is binding to live in a way that is not your true self. There are times when I write in my journal and I think about the vast words of power, and yearning for those white pages of experience to be filled in my own life. Just like words written on a page, life has its warped edges, and sometimes, the scribbles share your perfect truth. Well if you are reading this like me, I am longing to find a new feeling other than racing my pen over pages to get that release out.

It's inevitable. Life is full of curveballs and twists, turns, and bumpy roads. All of us will experience an all-too-common "the-world-is-against-me" vibe at one point in our lives.

We have all done it. We have watched our perfect idea or best knowledge be used by someone else as part of a mastermind business plan that makes millions, catapults them to fame, or otherwise being more notable in this world than YOU! We just forget to ask ourselves, why is it that I gave away my diamond for the penny? Or better yet what is it that had us willing to give away the diamond for the penny. Fret no more, the answer is right here, right now!

The purpose of these articles is, was, and always will be to inspire and motivate everyone to take their lives into their own hands, to stop living a life they have accepted, and begin to live a life of creation. How amazing would it be to live a life you chose? To have financial freedom and abundance, to be able to buy the car or motorcycle you’ve been dreaming of; start a company you know would give you happiness, fulfillment, and purpose; to finally have control over your existence? I have this inner urge inside of me to write about and help people understand their true potential and then go out and start living it! This is the reason I started Shock Therapy-Personal Development Service, this is the reason I coach, this is the reason I live! To me, helping people to actualize their dreams is the most fulfilling and rewarding thing I could possibly do for myself! To know that something I have done or said or even written has helped to push someone in a positive direction brings me that feeling of joy, purpose, and fulfillment that I am always talking about. This writing is literally a direct representation of me following through on the principles that I am always trying to share with you!

Do you feel stuck? Maybe, without guidance? Well, I can assure you that you are not alone. As we become older and our hunger for more increases, we oftentimes think of our passions and how we can execute them to make a better life for ourselves.

This week I've been slowly getting into moving mode with yesterday being sorting through all of my stuff and figuring out what I'm bringing. It's been five years roughly since I've moved and I'm quite excited about this new step in my life I'm finally taking.

"To-Do lists keep me from getting things done."

Talking about Fear! Again. I know. We've discussed it before, but the thing about Fear is, it keeps sneaking back in, doesn't it? And it manifests itself in all sorts of ways.
