How Can I Soar with the Eagles when I am Surrounded by Chickens?

Soar with Eagles

Roost with Chickens

When my clients, people just like you, start working with me to gain the objectives of improving their life, one of the first things I ask is, “How many people have direct influence over your life, such as your spouse, children, friends, relatives, etc.?” This lays down a specific directive for my client to assess.

Why should you care? These are the same people that have been influencing you throughout your life. How do you think they will react to you making significant change in your life without consulting with them first? Some will think you are leaving the fold. Others will take steps to put you back into ‘your box’, so they do not need to make changes in their expectations of you.

The Path of Self-Improvement

When you first start on the path of #SelfImprovement, you will usually start alone; and most likely you will continue to walk this path alone. Self improvement is a very personal experience. Have you ever wondered why? I don’t often refer to songs, but there is one song that should be your mantra when you set out on the path of self improvement. The song is, “I Walk Alone” by Green Day. The lyrics fit the circumstances perfectly.

Once you really get moving along your path of #Change, you will become excited with your progress. Of course you will feel inclined, even passionate, to tell other people. This new way you have adopted is making you feel great! So, should you suggest to your partner that he or she should be making changes likewise; maybe similar changes to the ones you have made?

Just because you are making positive changes in your life does not mean that anyone else wants to. Most likely other people will consider in an insult if you suggest that they follow a similar course of action. Some #People believe you think less of them if they choose not to do what you are suggesting.

An Example of wanting to Help People:

I am blessed with accumulating a tremendous amount of valuable information. Recently, I had the opportunity to help a friend that has a progressive cancer. He has everything and everyone to live for. He has a worthwhile life – better than most people. Without him asking, I provided him with some specialized information, so that he has options to live longer and healthier. I gave him this information without expectation that he would ever read it, or do anything about it. When I gave it to him, I even told him that, “I did not expect him to do anything with it. But it was there for him if he chose to.”

It is unfortunate that he has chosen not to get around to it. It saddens me. But that is just how people are…

People don’t change People,

Crisis Changes People

Moral Support vs. Standing Alone

If you get moral support from those around you, feel blessed. Most people must walk their path lonely, and without support. Once in a while you may meet someone that is on a similar path as you; a kindred spirit. This is the Law of Attraction at work. Often these are the best people to be co-supportive with. Look for these people to appear. It is nice to find a friend while traversing adversity.

You may think my choice of the word “adversity” may be a negative way of thinking about doing something positive for yourself. Please take a moment to think about why we are driven to improve ourselves to begin with. Our dissatisfaction in ourselves is the reason why we pursue self improvement in our life. If we were not dissatisfied, there would be no reason to do anything in that direction. There are 2 specific rules here:

The need to change is greater than the burden to stay the same

And

The only constant in life is CHANGE

But you already know that people do not like change and resist it. It is in our nature. The “adversity” comes from the internal battle of contradiction.

Change is Inevitable

Benefit of Change

There is Benefit for you when you do things of your own accord, and without the coddling support you may wish you had. When you take on the risk, and potentials of both failure and success, it gives you a great sense of self-worth and feeling of accomplishment when you succeed. In reality, when you take on the risk for yourself, you will always put more effort into achieving success. Thus you are more likely to succeed. You are now confident to move forward and take more steps along your path.

On the other hand, if you are hand-fed and coddled through the experience, you will not have the opportunity to gain that sense of accomplishment; your reward for facing the struggle.

Recommendations:

My recommendations for you, is to understand the pitfalls and proceed with “eyes wide open”. At least this way you will not be deterred from your path when the wolves are snapping at you. At times you may even feel that you have made a mistake by wanting to improve yourself. That is just your old resistance coming to the forefront. Your biggest battles for self-improvement will be waged within first. Once you overcome those battles and your older self, nothing can stand in your way to ultimate success.

Good Luck. The road of self-improvement is a rocky one. Prepare yourself accordingly.

Brain Management

Weather – Rain Storm

Manage your Brain for Results

Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. It can be a natural disaster such as an earthquake, tidal wave, tornado or flash flood. It can be a personal tragedy like the loss of a job or a loved one or even something that appears trivial, such as dropping that first cup of coffee on the floor as you’re rushing out the door – late again.

(To My Readers: An interesting thing about life is that you make gains even from the most adverse of situations. We call these “Lessons.” Please read on.)

Lessons and Disasters

When disaster strikes, your coping mechanisms are diminished. Circumstances that others may see as minor setbacks loom larger than life. You may lose self-worth. But if you are willing to listen and observe, disasters can also teach you resilience and strength.

How do you react to a crisis? If you’re like most of us, not very well. Why? you just are not trained to handle such moments, and therefore rely on people who are. But disasters come in all shapes and sizes, from Acts of God such as tornadoes to man-made disasters like terrorism and economic collapse. You could spend your entire life preparing if you tried to prepare for all possible crises.

BUT – there is a method that will prepare you for any TYPE of crisis. Condition your mind first.

Condition Your Mind for Disasters

So, how do you prepare for ALL types of crisis? Do you have to be cold and callous? Of course not!

The key is to gain access to your subconscious, which is most easily reached with meditation or prayer. Bear in mind that it may take some time for you to build a relationship with your subconscious mind.

An Alternative to Shorten Disaster Training Time

There is a shortcut to the well-trodden path described above. You can prepare for crisis with lightning speed! You can learn the nuance of the lessons learned through periods of meditation with breakneck efficiency with ZOX Pro Training.

Superior Information provides Superior Decisions

ZOXing, or Mental Photography, provides ample information.

Who do You Call?

Brain Management!

Disasters hit us on all levels of life. It can be the latest hurricane, earthquake, tidal wave, or any other natural disaster; it can be personal tragedy or it can be something small like dropping that ‘first cup of coffee’ on the floor as you are running out the door – you just know you are going to have a bad day. Disasters come in all shapes and sizes.

(To my Readers: Life is full of emotions, feelings, events, circumstances, and more. Some things in life are not comfortable to think about. Mind To Mind – The Brain Accelerator has always been about stimulating growth and providing intrigue. An interesting thing about life is you can make gains from even the most adverse of situations. We call these “Lessons”. Please read on…)

Discovering a Disaster

Disasters cause us to feel like less of the person we know we are. We lose self-worth. They make us feel small and impotent. It may be overwhelming, even when others see it as a minor inconvenience. So, really, it is our perception that turns events into disasters for us. Most of all, disasters can impact a little, or all of your life.

Disasters Provide

Disasters teach us many things if we are willing to listen and observe. They teach us strength. They teach us resiliency. Disasters teach you to be more; an improved version of your old self. Disasters force you to look at yourself in a different way. Think of how you perform in a disaster or crisis. Alas, most of us don’t perform very well at all. Why? Because most people are not trained to handle such moments; and they rely on others who are.

Preparing for a Disaster

Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. They can be natural disasters, such as tsunamis and tornadoes. Or they can be man-made, like war, terrorism, and economic collapse. And again, disasters can be events in your life that create a difficult circumstance for you. You would spend your whole life preparing if you were to prepare for all crises. But there is a way that will give you the edge for coping with disasters. Condition your mind.

Condition Your Mind for Disasters

I told you about people that are steadfast in their ability to deal with disasters of whatever making. So, what makes them different from you? (This assumes you are not one of those people already, you know the types of disaster management.) The one thing that all of them have in common, no matter what their disaster specialty, is they have undergone mental training that helps them with ALL disasters. It is a part of their conditioning. Does it make them callous and uncaring? Of course not! It simply means they can assess and help others in those situations without “losing their head”.

Brain Management for Disasters

Take steps to strengthen your mental state for dealing with disasters:

Gain access to your subconscious. Your subconscious is most easily reached with meditation or prayer. Learn the basic proper methods for using these techniques. Start doing this first. It may take you some time to build the relationship with your subconscious mind.

Make a comprehensive list of the qualities you want to achieve. Some of these qualities will be about how you react and behave in emergency, crisis, and disaster events. Learn how to build your own simple and effective programs for installing these qualities in you your subconscious while you are meditating. This is the first proactive step to creating your desired outcome.

Observe yourself.After you have the programs installed into your subconscious, observe how you behave and react, especially when you are confronted with a crisis or emergency. Compare these new reactions to how you would have previously reacted to a crisis or emergency.

The steps I have given you are very simple. But there is more to it than that. There are other things you can do to amplify your results, or to get the results quicker.

Facing an Emergency, Crisis, or Disaster

Here is the “crux” of this exercise. Don’t ask how to do all this overnight, and expect it to just work. TOO LATE!… I see it all the time. People wait, and wait, and wait, until the right time. Face it! There is NO RIGHT TIME! Your pursuit requires you to be prepared. That means taking steps consistently for months, maybe years in advance. That is the same steps those with training and mental conditioning have done before you. Those are the same basic steps you must do too.

An Alternative to Shorten Disaster Training Time.

We just painted a picture for you that you would be spending a considerable amount of time walking in the well-trodden footsteps of others that have gone before you. The truth is, there is a simple way to absorb all of the information at lightning speed, and be able to pick up the nuance of walking in those same boots, with breakneck efficiency.

Retirement Planning – Global Economic Crisis

Retirement Planning – Global Economic Crisis

Retirement Planning, Personal Finance and Social Security

Retirement Planning – How to Build Your Retirement Plan

“Success is how high you bounce when you hit the bottom” What is success? Success begins with how you think. No one can just “think” their way to success – they must ACT to make it happen.

Thinking about changing careers because you are discontent? The statistics show that 80% of people age 45+ consider changing careers. Almost half of adults are not completely satisfied with the requirements, lack of flexibility, risks and compensation of their current jobs. Many of these individuals will consider changing careers.

Read These Staggering Statistics:

Thinking of retirement at 50? Early retirement planning requires a savings and investment plan that begins early in life. Most of the population has less than $5,000 in the bank for early retirement.

Most people plan to retire in their mid-60s. This is the age range when Social Security benefits become available. At age 65 63% of people are dependent on Social Security, friends, relatives or charity. Only 3% will still be working (most can’t afford to quit and work until they are no longer physically capable) and only 4% will have adequate capital stowed away for retirement.

Retirement Statistics	Data
Average retirement age	62
Average length of retirement	18 years
Average savings of a 50 year old	$43,797
Total cost for a couple over 65 to pay for medical treatment over a 20 year span	$215,000
Percentage of people ages 30-54 who believe they will not have enough money put away for retirement	80%
Percentage of Americans over 65 who rely completely on Social Security	35%
Percentage of Americans who don’t save anything for retirement	36%
Total Number of Americans who turn 65 per day	6,000
Percentage of population that is 65 years of age or older	13%
Out of 100 people who starts working at the age of 25, by the age 65:
Will be considered wealthy	1%
Have adequate capital stowed away for retirement	4%
Will still be working	3%
Are dependant on Social Security, friends, relatives or charity	63%
Are dead	29%
Americans older than 50 account for:
Percent of all financial assets	77%
Percent of total consumer demand	54%
Prescription drug purchases	77%
All over-the-counter drugs	61%
Auto Sales	47%
All luxury travel purchases	80%

Amount
Needed in Savings For Retirement

Monthly income need	Savings Needed for 20 Years	Savings Needed for 30 Years
$1,000	$166,696	$212,150
$2,000	$333,392	$424,300
$3,000	$500,087	$636,450
$4,000	$666,783	$848,601
$5,000	$833,479	$1,060,751
$6,000	$1,000,175	$1,272,901
$7,000	$1,166,871	$1,485,051
$8,000	$1,333,567	$1,697,201
$9,000	$1,500,262	$1,909,351
$10,000	$1,666,958	$2,121,501
The above sums assume your portfolio will earn a 6 percent annualized return during the course of your retirement and endure 2 percent annual inflation erosion. “Mind To Mind ZOX Pro Information Research”

At the present time, it is impossible to support a family of two working full time at minimum wage! To think about retirement at this point is impossible. For the first time in history, the current generation is averaging a lower standard of living than their parents! Automation is taking layoffs to record highs!

Personal finance money MSN reports that you may never retire: The U.S. government has already acknowledged that the official retirement age will need to increase further than the already-revised 67 years. “Retirement ages will have to move to 70, 80 years old,” “making pensions, medical services more affordable. They will keep people working longer and will take that burden off of the youth.”

The Bureau of Statistics says that out of 100 people that start working at the age of 25, by the age of 65…

– 1 is wealthy

– 4 have enough money to retire

– 63 depend on Social Security or charity

– 29 are deceased

95% of people, age 65 and over cannot afford to retire and work until they die!!

And that’s only IF they have jobs to be able to work.

Economically for Retirement

Even huge corporations are SLASHING employees to the minimum …more than half their work force will end up out on the streets looking for a new source of income. No wonder we have lost our faith in “Big Business”

In John Paul Getty’s book, “How To Get Rich,” his first rule for success is, “You must be in business for yourself. You will never get rich working for someone else.”

We heard about one highly qualified engineer who ended up out on the street after giving 25 dedicated years to his job. His advice?

“Don’t do what I did — wasting 25 years building equity in someone else’s business. Do yourself a favor and start building equity in yourself now!”

Growing Concentration of Wealth

The world’s millionaires and billionaires now control 38.5% of the world’s wealth. Even in the Global Economic Crisis, most of these people were not affected. Even if some did feel the crunch it is still only 1% in control of the global wealth.

So, with only 1% of the people really being in control of most of the world’s wealth, then 99% of the rest of the global population must struggle over the leftovers. I am reporting the news, not taking sides.

Start making a change for yourself in self-reliance start your retirement plan now, ask yourself, “What should I do? Where do I start?” You can start by providing yourself with GOOD information, fast!

I realize that many of you don’t want to spend the time and energy to learn a new system that provides the tools you need. In that case, you will most likely remain one of the 99% of working class that does not have a viable retirement, and you will definitely never be in the 1% that controls the wealth of the world.

You may get along very well, even though you do not have this system under your belt. But, you could also be looking back 5 or 10 years from now, saying, “What if I…”

I don’t like painting the picture of Global Evils that are sitting on the threshold of your doorway. There are already too many people that are doing that for you daily. You can start with the media. I would just like to help you become prepared to deal with things, instead of sticking your head in the sand and hoping it all goes away. The truth – It WON’T go away.

I know that people from all walks of life benefit in many ways from ZOX Pro Training (Mental Photography). I have no doubt that you would benefit too. I want everyone to have a happy and sustainable life. What if this training is the key to you having a better life; and you dismissed it. I strongly urge you to take your next step forward. Don’t stand in the way of what could be yours.
