Raising a BAR

"Vision, it reaches beyond the thing that is, into the conception of what can be. Imagination gives you the picture. Vision gives you the impulse to make the picture your own." - Robert Collier

When you dream at night, there is nothing else to interfere with the imagination. In some instances, those dreams can be remembered during the waking hours. Once in a while they are remembered with full clarity and many other times only bits and pieces which tend to fade quickly.

Dreams are many time an imagined future or expectation of greater things.

Those dreams are an undefined mound of wet clay, waiting for you to form it. As you remember and begin to concentrate on those dreams remembering the details, your imagination mold the dream. This process will mold the clay into something only you can imagine.

The resulting form may change from what you first dreamt, but it will become clear for your life.

As the dream becomes more real, apply your awakened vision in order to move you towards realizing the dream as a tangible part of your life. It prods you to walk through an open door on a journey of movement; a journey of great things.

- Allow yourself to Believe in big dreams.
- Allow yourself to Act with a vision towards it.
- Allow yourself to Realize a great life achieved.

Go beyond the current and forward towards a future that has so much opportunity. A large life is out there waiting for you.

Raising the Bar

“One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.” - Walter Scott

One key to living a positive and fruitful life is to move away from being self-centered. When you understand that your life is and has impact amongst everything and everyone around you, then you will begin to live a more enjoyable and fulfilling life.

There is a tendency when living a self-centered life to blame every and anything else for our own woes. It is always someone else or company or object that is the cause. The blame game starts to become very trendy in your life. The current object of blame in society becomes your object of blame. It becomes something to accuse of all your troubles.

So it can be an odd feeling to fully grasp the idea when you step out of a "me only" life into acceptance of your part in a bigger world. It is a big step when you end up taking responsibility for your own actions and woes. Everything around you has an impact and influences your life. But the key is how you choose to react to all of the stuff which will and does happen to us.

Once you have taken the path of responsibility and accepted to be in charge of your own attitude, only then will life begin to turn for the better. Once you do, stay committed to that new life. Be the better person.

Be the one that raises the BAR for others.

B-elief A-ction R-ealization of expectation in your life.

Raise the BAR

"No one determines vision for you; vision is yours to see, believe in and grab hold of." -Me

This morning I had the opportunity to speak at a business breakfast called Pathfinders. I was invited to talk about "Raising the BAR" in your personal and business life. If you have not heard about it, check back next week to this blog as I talk more about it. In fact I will be putting out an eBook - free for a limited time - that you can get by subscribing to my blog.

Getting up and speaking to the folks this morning was an absolute joy. After the meeting, I was able to talk to some of the attendees and found their stories amazing. You see each of us has a story to tell or experience to share. Every one of those stories can provide us with a new idea, a new way or new hope that we can overcome any obstacle in our life.

The BAR gets set in your life that must be cleared before the next one is attempted. So each time we accomplish one thing, the BAR lifts higher. Staying connected, networking with other people, being strong in belief of your vision will give you the ability to get over any BAR that is set in your life.

Raise the B-elief A-ction R-ealization of expectation in your life and stay inspired my friends.
