Put a Beautiful Idea Into Action and See What Unfolds

Complete projects don't just happen. You start with an idea. It might be a beautiful idea, but if you take no actions to do something about your idea, it won't grow on its own. 

Ideas are like seeds, you plant them ,then water them. If you don't care for your garden of ideas, they might die. Help your ideas bloom. 

As you learn about more ways to use online marketing techniques, you have to try things to grow and get better at  using the tools .

We were introduced to a few sites recently including hub pages, Examiner.com, reddit, and digg.com. The good news is that you can work on growing your online presence a little more each day. Take actions or nothing will happen.

Inspire Someone Today to Share Their Special Talents with the World

Image via Wikipedia

Joel Osteen said in his sermon today that you should speak the blessings onto others and this made me realize that we help others by encouraging them. How many times have you heard parents who were knocking their kids and talking about them in a negative manner. This is damaging and some children just never forget. They grow up with emotional issues because they never felt supported by their parents.

Joel Osteen, in his now #1 New York Times bestselling book, It's Your Time,"  encourages people to live their dreams and move ahead to live their passion and as I say here, love your life. As we move towards the holidays and people are out shopping for gifts, it's great to think about doing something to encourage someone and change their life forever.

Life is too short to miss living it with passion. I love to hear stories of people who have had a defining moment or a special incident that changed their life forever and helped them impact other people's lives. One small statement might  be all that person needs to have the confidence they need to succeed.

Instead of telling someone not to try something and not to take a chance, how would their life be different if you told them they had a great idea and that they should work on it? If you don't apply for the job, how will you get it? If you don't make the artwork, how will you sell it? If you don't write the book, how will you be a best-selling author? If you don't encourage your child to play sports, how will he or she get the sports scholarship to college?

Encouragement and inspiration with your words are free and priceless. The price that people pay in their lives because they were discouraged about using their gifts and talents is monumental. People tend to hold on too long to the criticisms they receive during their lives. I've read many books about famous people and many have shared the discouraging words they received from parents or teachers along the way that almost changed the course of their lives forever.

The Learning Curve and Connecting With Your Passion

For many of us, when we start moving in the direction of our life's passion, we might not have all the skills and all of the tools in place to be our best. It's so easy to procrastinate and hold back from doing things that will move us toward living the life we really desire.

Let's give an example. If you want to be a videographer and you're pretty broke, one option is to forget about your passion. This probably won't work because that inner voice will work on you and you'll probably have a hard time pushing away your gifts and talents. The second possibility is that you buy some video equipment that is inexpensive and just get started.

Imagine how great you'll feel by taking the action of moving forward to work on your craft. Another great way to move ahead when the balance in your checkbook is not what you had hoped for is to partner with others who already have the equipment that you need to do this work and pursue your passion. You also might consider bartering with others who have to equipment and experience to work with you or trade-off opportunities in exchange for your time and efforts.

Another way to get the tools you need to pursue your craft is to find people who believe in you who will sponsor your equipment. For some people, there are family members or friends who will back you, for others you might even need an angel investor to get your dreams off the ground.

Be patient with yourself and your skills more than critical about not being perfect.There's definitely a learning curve for everything that we do and practice is essential. Improvements come over time and it's really important to keep working on your craft, whatever that craft may be. 

This blog is really about encouraging you to look for all the possibilities you can to make your dreams come true. Once you start and even if you're working with less expensive or sophisticated equipment, you can always upgrade when the time is right. The world needs your gifts and talents and if you're going to attract the help that you need whether emotional, or financial, you have to take some steps to get out there and let people and the world know you exist. It's great that with online marketing we have the possibility of announcing our gifts and talents to the world almost instantly and connecting with people around the globe who we may never have met in this entire lifetime.

Animals and Children Teach Us To Find Joy and Wonder in Simplicity

Image by John "K" via Flickr

There is just something so refreshing as animals and small children. I was inspired with these thoughts by the picture of a squirrel in the morning sun. One of the most amazing experiences was out in nature at the Grand Canyon observing the small animals on the side of the Grand Canyon and just wondering how they viewed this miraculous National Park.

Mornings bring a start to the day and the sunlight coming up and sparking on creation is so beautiful.The small creatures live in much more simplicity than we do. The squirrel at the Grand Canyon isn't thinking about the traffic jams we face heading back to the city  or how the stock market is doing today.

Children's eyes light up when they see new things. Children have a fresh perspective on the world and we should stop to enjoy what they say more often.
I love the questions children ask about nature as they explore the world and have many first-time experiences.

Approach today with fresh, innocent eyes and see how your day unfolds. Today is a beautiful day and it's wonderful to be part of it. Smile today and enjoy the world around you.

Time Flies When You're Doing What You Love

Image by ZedZap(Nick... NEVER slow ) via Flickr

It's amazing how quickly time seems to fly when you're working on a project that you love. On the other hand, if you are bored and unhappy, the time seems to stand still and it's a longer day on the job you don't like.

We are given signs and clues about whether we are on the right track to fulfill our life's purpose. When we are on a path that will keep us from less than our full potential, we often find more challenges.

The greatest question I have for you is: If you're not doing what you love now, when will you be starting ? Life is not like a vcr. It has not hold button to hang on to time. Life has no reverse button to bring back time you've already spent.

Every minute you use up today moves you closer to tomorrow. Embrace today and do something today that makes your heart sing. Find some time today to do something you love and you'll probably spend more time doing it because you won't realize how quickly time flies when you're enjoying yourself.
