Who Is Really In Charge

Who Is Really In Charge? by Jim Rohn

Finally, the elections are over. Some of you are certainly very happy and some are probably unhappy with the outcome and that is to be expected. Every four years we Americans participate in this grand experiment called America and we elect a President to lead us. That of course spurs lots of different opinions and positions and people can become emotionally involved with the outcome.

One thing that I always find fascinating in all elections, but especially the presidential elections, are the many promises that candidates make to the electorate. They promise to make the economy better and to make health care more affordable for the masses. They promise to make the taxes better and to create jobs.

As I think about this, I want to challenge you to consider that while a President may have a general effect on your circumstances, they do not have a specific effect on your circumstances. Let me explain: While they may play a role in what direction the stock market goes, they do not have an effect in how an individual stock goes, or in whether or not you can make money in the stock market. So, while we certainly should vote and participate in the process, we must understand that no single person –other than you – will have an effect on what your individual life outcome is.




Let me give you some more examples:

A President may promise a better economy but you determine your economy. They may affect whether the dollar gains strength or loses it, but you determine what your financial position is going to be. The fact is that even in the worst economies, including recessions and depressions, there are those who will continue to thrive and even become extremely wealthy. In the great depression, there were countless people who, because of their individual efforts, became millionaires. So, no matter what the economy is nationally, you can become wealthy in the next four years. You don’t have to wait for anyone.

A President may promise to create jobs, but the only person who is going to create YOUR job is you! You determine whether or not you have a job. The President doesn’t, the economy doesn’t, and the industry doesn’t. No matter how bad things get, there are always those who have good paying jobs. You choose what kind of person you will be, and how valuable you will make yourself to the marketplace and thus, what kind of job you will have. So, no matter what the job situation is nationally, you can have any job you want in the next four years. You don’t have to wait for anyone.

A President may promise to do something about taxes, but no matter what the tax rate is, you can still build your personal wealth. Much of my wealth came to me when we still had extremely exorbitant tax rates. I have often said that if you want to be a millionaire and the tax rate is 50%, then just make two million. You determine how much you will have left after taxes, not the government. If you don’t like what you have left, make more. Now, am I saying we shouldn’t work to lower tax rates? No, but I am saying that we can be in control of our own lives regardless of the tax rate. So, no matter what the tax rate is, you can earn more money in the next four years. You don’t have to wait for anyone.

A President may promise to make your health care available to you but you can make health care available to yourself! It isn’t that people can’t afford it; it is that you can’t afford it. What is the answer to that? The empowering answer is to do what it takes to put yourself in a financial and career situation wherein it doesn’t matter what the cost is, because you can afford it. Again, I am not saying that we shouldn’t work to make health care affordable for people, but when you leave it in the hands of someone else, then you make yourself dependent upon them, rather than becoming independent.

The fact is that you control your life. You control your destiny. You chart your course. Those we elect are not the givers of our financial lives. I sometimes think that many people think that if we can just get the “right” person elected, then their lives will suddenly take a turn for the better. Not true. You determine the outcome of your life.

Fortunes will be made in the next four years, no matter what. Some people will join the ranks of millionaires. That is amazing. The only question you have to ask is whether or not you will be one of them. People with high skills will always be in demand for high paying jobs. People who have a superb product or service to offer will always be in demand.

Did you vote? That’s great – we should as our civic duty. But the most important thing is not whether your candidate won or lost, but what kind of decision you will make about your own life, your own career, and your own financial situation, no matter who is in office.

Do that, and the world is yours for the taking.

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Happy Saturday Everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today is our lazy Saturday, I am off work today so Kenna and I decided to sleep in this morning. Kenna has been a bit under the weather so we have spent most days this week curled up on the couch watching movies, she loves to see Santa. I have a feeling this year will be an exciting Christmas around our house. We got some snow from Hurricane Sandy earlier in the week and ever since we have been in the Holiday spirit. If it wasn't so early we would most likely already have the tree up and decorated, but for now I am trying to hold off on the tree decorations.

Even though she has not been feeling so great I did manage to get in a quick 30 minute workout, before she woke up this morning. For breakfast we had fresh strawberries and blueberries. Blueberries are a great source of vitamin but also helps with infections. Thankfully after eating her favorite breakfast and a few hours of cuddle time Kenna is feeling better.

 I always keep fresh food in the house, I seldom even buy the frozen meals anymore. It seems that several of the meals that I have gotten in the past usually hurt Kenna's tummy. We live  on my parents farm in eastern KY, which is a hoot for Kenna. She loves to be able to see the turkey's, deer, and cattle. When it is not to cold outside we go get the mail, well the nuts have fallen from the tree between the house and our mailbox. One day we seen a squirrel gathering nuts, when it spotted us it ran up the tree. Ever since then Kenna has gathered nuts up and put them in piles at the bottom of the tree  for the squirrel. I couldn't imagine raising my daughter anywhere else, just not sure I could show her all of the simple things in life that I had learned growing up in the country on a farm in a big city.

So here is my question for those of you that live in a city (not on a farm), how do you go about teaching your children about animals or the "great out doors"?  With Kenna I always point out each animals features or something different about that animal so she will remember it better.

“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do you have the courage to get to the healthier you?

Get started on the new you today!!!

Nov 1st!!!

Nov 1st!!! Its the start of a new month! Have you started your shopping yet? I'm actually half way done (usually just getting started) big achievement for me. Since I started taking ACE I have had s much more energy, I feel like the energizer bunny! I just keep going without getting tired and I love it! Since I decided to start selling ACE though, I feel financially better to. I can now not stress about waiting till pay day to pick up gifts. Now I am able to actually put money back for a rainy day to splurge when I want.

Being a single mom I always figured I would always have it harder since it is just me supporting my daughter versus her having 2 parents to support her. Don't get me wrong I would love to have someone to lean on for support, but I will take what I got and make lemon aid with it :) Growing up Granny always said "when life throws you lemons make lemon aid with it!" That is exactly what I am doing to!  What I like the most is that I know it will make my daughter a stronger and more amazing woman knowing that she doesn't have to rely on  man to get what she wants in life.
Everything in life is more appreciated if you work hard to get it! 

I look at it the same way with my weight loss! I will be a happier healthier me if I fight to get my body in shape versus having surgery to help me lose the weight. Don't get me wrong I am sure that the weight loss surgery's has helped many, it's just not something for me. I want to feel my fat cry when I sweat!

 5 Foods that burn fat fast!
Apples, Cinnamon, Pine nut, Oats, and Eggs.
Apples - To keep the pounds at bay, eat an apple–or two–a day. Apples are high in pectin, which binds with water and limits the amount of fat your cells can absorb. Apples are also high in fiber, which makes you feel full; numerous studies have found that eating an apple a half hour to an hour before a meal has the result of cutting the calories of the meal. Recent research suggests eating apples has other benefits, too; the antioxidants in apples appear to prevent metabolic syndrome, the combination of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and prediabetes that tends to accompany thickening around the waist.

Cinnamon - Okay, so it’s not exactly a food, it’s a spice, but so much the better; it doesn’t add calories, while helping you burn fat. According to a recent study of diabetics, cinnamon appears to have the power to help your body metabolize sugar. Eating as little as 1/4 to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon a day was found to reduce blood sugar levels and cut cholesterol from 10 to 25 percent. So add cinnamon to smoothies, sprinkle it on your cereal, or flavor your coffee with it.

Pine nuts - Rich in heart-healthy fatty acids, particularly the aptly named pinolenic acid, pine nuts have been found to boost levels of the so-called “satiety hormone,” ghrelin, which signals your brain that you’re full. When ghrelin levels are high, not only do you not feel hungry, you’re more able to resist cravings. According to studies done in Korea, a big producer of pine nuts, these same fatty acids have been shown to prevent the formation of belly fat, considered the most dangerous kind. In another report on foods that help you lose weight, I discuss almonds, which have many of the same benefits as pine nuts.

Oats - Wrongly tarred with the “carb” brush, oats are a whole grain, and are high in soluble fiber, so they cut cholesterol and blood fat. They’re also high on what nutritionists call the “satiety index,” meaning oats have tremendous power to make you feel full. Oats digest slowly, so they don’t raise your blood sugar, and they keep you feeling filled up well into the late morning. Oatmeal is, oddly enough, one of the best foods to help you sleep, as well. Old-fashioned steel-cut and rolled oats, with up to 5 grams of fiber per serving, are best, but even instant oatmeal has 3 to 4 grams of fiber per serving.

Eggs - In case you hadn’t heard, eggs have been rehabilitated. In fact, nutritionists wish those warnings about the dangers of eggs had never been issued.  Because they’re a concentrated form of animal protein without the added fat that comes with meat, eggs are a nutritional powerhouse and the perfect way to start your day with a “bang” of energy. (And they’re fine, at least in moderation, for those restricting cholesterol, too.) Dietary studies have repeatedly found that when people eat an egg every morning in addition to (or instead of) toast or cereal, they lose twice as much weight as those who eat a breakfast that’s dominated by carbs.
