Do you remember Star Trek and the famous saying of Mr. Spock. He would always say if something was logical or illogical. He was not a man bothered with emotions. So when emotions came into play, he would always deem it as illogical. Many of us are the same way. We want our lives to come together and we want to be happy with our decisions and actions. However, walking in your purpose and fulfilling your destiny always seems illogical. The logic is just not there.
We have bills that need to be paid, we have responsibilities and logic says we need to make sure that we take care of all that. However, we are dying inside because we are not allowing the illogical and the emotional to have expression in our lives. Understand this, I know it's hard to make a decision without knowing for sure what will happen. We actually do this everyday, we live. We go to work, drive a car, take an airplane ride, etc without knowing if we will reach our destination. Okay, you are right, there's a difference in this kind of logic. However, the truth is the truth. It is illogical for us to put ourselves in harm's way each and everyday with such common actions, but we do. Just think, when someone does not arrive at a destination due to some tragic event we call it an accident.
However, when we do not arrive at our destined life, we call it being safe. It's actually just as tragic as the accident. Follow me just a bit longer.
When you are approached by a salesperson in a store or even in your home, you are looking for that person to establish a firm foundation based on your communicated needs, true customer service, common interests and honesty. this strengthens the reasons you buy now instead of later. Emotion, rather than logic, may prompt most people to buy that new TV, car, house, pair of shoes, or latest gadget. Of course there may be some buyer's remorse later that may crumpled the confidence born in the moment of emotion. When logic kicks in, you may return the item or, depending on how emotional attached you are, you will try to make it work into your current lifestyle.
The same is true for walking out purpose and destiny. You need to reinforce your emotional tie with your logical thinking. Listen a good sales person will reinforce your emotional reasons for buying as well as fortify them with solid, logical bottom-line reasons that you made the right decision. So when you are at home and working your budget, that remorse will not set in. You must be able and willing to do the same with your dreams. You must understand that reasons you are taking the chance on living them out in moments of doubt and lock in the journey. Understand that logic has it's place but it's not there to talk you out of it but to aid you in why it should happen, and most importantly, why it should happen.

A Better You, NOW?
Everyone has a “get rich quick” scheme!
Every one has adopted the “name it and claim” fabrication!
Every where there is a “process” or “program” for attracting the love of your life, all the money you desire and the body of a God/dess!
And it seems that everyone is an “expert” of this or a “guru” of that with lofty promises of making you a guru too!
In the words of Malcolm X, You’ve been had! Hoodwinked! Bamboozled and led astray! And not necessarily in this order!
Well DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE! And it’s all “hype!” You cannot microwave your way to health in 10 minutes! And success is not a mirage! Health, Love, Money and Fame will not come by way of smoke and mirrors! So stop falling for the okie-doke! You will not blink your eyes and land on top of the mountain, neither will you amass fame and fortune in your life by fast talking, quick thinking, scheming lies!
Sorry, I must keep it 100! I give it to you straight, no artificial flavors, sugars are additives! Hard work, has become a term of profanity and success has become a con game!
Well I for one have had it! So if you are ready to roll up your sleeves and have the drive, guts and determination to get in the driver’s seat of your life and stop being persuaded by the “green grass” in the other guy’s yard and are ready to take care of your own lawn and sow your own seeds so that you may reap a bountiful harvest, then let’s do it together.
In the words of Michael Jackson, “I’m starting with the man in the mirror and I’m asking him to change his ways. No message could have been any clearer”…IF you want to make this world a better place you gotta start with you.

The Dirtiest Four Letter Word by Carl Reid
This article was originally published in The Productivity Institute (PI) Newsletter
When my daughter was about 3 or 4 I began asking her to do things to push her past her limits. She always felt she performed quite well, because she received a lot of encouragement for just attempting to do things most people would say 4-5-6-7-8 year olds aren’t capable of doing. I would get her to do things, like asking her to take her bowl and put it in the sink. Although I knew she couldn’t reach the sink, I just wanted her to try to reach anyway. Dropping the bowl was OK. After a couple of futile attempts, I picked her up so she could place the bowl in the sink. She still felt accomplished in feeling like she still did it herself. Another time I asked her to help me clean an imaginary dirt spot on the wall that was out of her reach. After she tried and figured out she couldn’t reach, I picked her up. She cleaned the spot. She felt very satisfied with her accomplishment.
Not yet 4 1/2 years old, one day I asked her to count to 10. She hadn’t been taught yet, but I thought I would really push her. She responded with the nastiest little word. I told her, if she said that “bad word” again, I would wash her mouth out with soap. I came from the bathroom, with a bar of soap to show her I meant business. I asked her again to count to 10. She said that 4 letter word again, more adamantly. I rubbed my finger across the wet bar of soap and rubbed my fingered across her lips. As soon as she licked her lips, she proceeded to cry from the awful soap taste. She ran to her mother to sooth the distaste on her lips. When I told her mother about my request, she [mother] freaked out. Mother also said the same dirty word, in referring to my daughter’s limited knowledge. I was a maniac, as far as her mother was concerned.
I pulled my daughter from the safety of her mother’s arms. As I visibly rubbed my finger over the soap bar, I asked my daughter to count to 10. She already knew the result of saying the bad 4 letter word. So she thought carefully. The most amazing thing happened. She turned around with her back to me and said “help me daddy”. This was symbolic. She knew every time I picked her up, she always accomplished something.
That dirty word did not appear in my daughter’s vocabulary again, until her second year in high school. She didn’t do well in history. I asked her “what is the problem”. She responded with that dirty word in a complete sentence. I proceeded to the bathroom and she changed her tune with a quick retraction and apology for using that word. So we continued with planning actions for improving her report card. She past all her subjects, including history, on the next report card. It’s phenomenal how eliminating that nasty word helped her accomplish so many things over the years.
The odd thing is this 4 letter word is socially acceptable in any gathering of people. No one gives it a second thought. Very few people realize the damage this nasty word does to other people. It cripples many people. People hear this word, pass it on to other people and more people hurt themselves saying it. Many parents think nothing of saying this word to their children in every day conversation.
People miss out, on opportunities, raises, going to college, moving up the corporate ladder, starting a business, settling a dispute, forgiving a family member, meeting a new friend, taking a trip, learning something new, negotiating a better deal, just by uttering this word constantly. Drum roll please . . . the dirtiest 4 letter word, which should be stricken from the English dictionary, is: Can’t
I can’t do it *It can’t work * You can’t have everything you want * It can’t be done * You can’t do that
Who wants their mouth washed out with soap?
