The Purpose of Life

 
Finding Your Real Inner Drive

Everything on earth has a purpose—and that includes you! Your purpose in life provides you with an inner drive that, once you tap into it, can give you immense fulfillment and unlimited joy.

Your Purpose in Life
• does not change 
• is eternal 
• is available to you each and every moment

Three Decisions Shape Your Life
Everything you do has a consequence. What ultimately shapes your life, though, are the decisions you make. You can have the life you deserve, where all your consequences are positive ones. How? By making these three decisions:
1. Decide what to focus on 
What you focus on determines how you think, feel, contribute. Choose an empowering focus in every situation.
2. Decide what things mean
Meaning is something you determine. You cannot control events, but you can control what events mean to you.
3. Decide what you will do when something happens
Remember, God’s delays are not God’s denials . . . unless you give up.

Discover the Sources of Pain
Whatever drives you shapes your life. Human beings are primarily driven by two things: the need to avoid pain and the need to gain pleasure. Pain can be useful, like when a child learns to stay away from a hot stove, or pain can be destructive, as it was for the woman who believed marriage equaled death.

Why am I feeling this pain?
1. What unique thing is happening when I feel this pain? 
2. What recent thing happens about the same time I feel the pain?
3. What consistent factor is present when I experience the pain?

If you’re experiencing pain in any area of your life, these three questions can help you discover the source, decide whether it’s helping or hurting you and give you the information you need to create a deeper meaning.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

So what is your money blueprint set for?

Are you programmed for managing your money well or mismanaging it? Are you a spender or a saver ? Wealth principle: The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success "permanently" is to reset your financial thermostat. You can become an expert in real estate or the stock market. All of these are tremendous "tools." But in the end, without an inner "tool-box" that is big enough and strong enough for you to create and hold on to large amounts of money, all the tools in the world will be useless to you. Your income can grow only to the extent that you do. Remember that the first element of all change is awareness.Watch yourself, become conscious, observe your thoughts, your fears, your beliefs, your habits, your actions, and even your inactions. Put yourself under a microscope. Study yourself. Wealth principle: Consciousness is observin...

Wealth File #4 Rich people think big. Poor people think small

Wealth principle: The law of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace. The keyword is value. It's important to know that four factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply,demand,quality and quantity. The factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is the quantity. The quantity factor simply means, how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace? Another way of stating this is, how many people do you actually serve or affect? Most people choose to play small. Why? First, because of fear. They're scared to death of failure and they're even more frightened of success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel unworthy. They don't feel they're good enough or important enough to make a real difference in people's lives. But hear this: your life is not just about you. It's also about contributing to others. It's about living true...
