Successful living is positive living.

Positive Living is when you have health in your body, in your mind, in your finances and in your relationships.

This is why the affirmation we are looking at today is so important. Affirmation #144 of John Di Lemme’s 210 Day Affirmation Challenge declares:

I am living a Healthy Lifestyle

This is an excellent affirmation to memorize (and easy to memorize), and speak out loud to yourself every time you find yourself tempted to do something that would not have a positive result in your mind, your body, your relationships or your finances.

Remember that affirmations alone will not lead you to achieve your desired goals. You need to add ACTION to your words!

However you will know that action alone will not lead you to achieve your desired goals either – it takes strategic action and that is why it is so important to create a roadmap for yourself.

Your roadmap to your life of positive living (success).

Paint yourself a picture in your mind and then with diagrams, words or however you like to make notes. This picture will depict what positive living will look like for YOU.

You might include things like:

• how much you weight,
• how you feel when you wake up each day,
• how sharp your mind is,
• how you react to life situations,
• how you relate to your loved ones and friends,
• how free you are financially to decide what to do each day, and most important of all: what difference you can make in the lives of those around you and in the world.

Remember the greater the freedom you are living in the greater the freedom you will have to make a difference in the lives of others. Your health is a VERY important ingredient in your freedom.

This picture that you have painted for yourself (with words, diagrams of illustrations) is the beginning of your road map to success. Now you are beginning to visualize what positive living (success) looks like for YOUR life, you need to nurture this vision with your words. Words like:

I am living a Healthy Lifestyle

Today’s challenge:

• Take some time to visualize what the positive living lifestyle will look like in YOUR life. Write your vision down.
• Write down the areas in life where you would most like to make a difference. This is a heart issue. Follow your heart, and ask yourself: who’s life would I most like to change? This will more likely be a group of people rather than an individual.
• Write down some ideas of how you plan to make this picture a reality.

This is the beginning of your road map to your success.

Without this foundation stone set in place, nothing else that you learn and work to put into practice to achieve your dreams will have the effect you desire.

This is why today’s affirmation is so powerful. When you FULLY accept the responsibility for your dream, nothing will stop you from achieve it!

We are already at Day 82 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge that I am involved in (and I trust that you are too) and blogging about.

As you declare today’s affirmation you are totally recognizing your responsibility for your dream and you are accepting it:

You are totally unique!

• No one else on this earth can see your dream like you can.

  I so am thankful that I understood this when I began to write and publish the series of booklets, Templos Vivientes. This series became the foundation that opened many doors of opportunity in Mexico for many years.

  Even today I am STILL reaping from those seeds that were sown so many years ago. In fact the next phase of my work and ministry is being built on the foundation of all of the hard work that was put in during the 25 years I spent in Mexico.

  You just never know what will come of what you are doing today when you are truly seeking to faithfully and consistently do what you find in your hand to do each day (while you keep your vision clear before you)!

• No one else on this earth has the skills and talents buried in their hearts to achieve YOUR dream like you have!

  It is your responsibility and your job to develop those skills and talents to make sure that you DO achieve your dream.

• No on else on this earth REALLY understands your dream as you do!

  You may be thinking, “one moment, I don’t even understand it!” But as you begin to pursue it you WILL. You will understand it before anyone else will. You will see it (in your mind’s eye) before anyone else will. Why? Because it is YOUR dream.

You were born with a seed in your heart that is totally different from anyone else who was born on this earth. It is the seed of YOUR dream.

1. The world will be a better place when you achieve your dream, because your dream will include making a difference in the lives of many people.
2. The world will be left with a missing link if you give in to fear or laziness and do not achieve your dream.

Today’s Question and Challenge:

• Are you involved in a consistent daily plan of self development to overcome fear and everything that may hinder you from achieving your life purpose?
  Do make sure you are listening to recordings such as these audios and videos every day. (Download these recordings FREE).
• Are you developing your skills and talents to make sure that you WILL achieve all that you were placed on this earth to achieve?

Don’t ever forget:

And Champions are always challenging themselves to achieve everything that is in their heart to do!

This is a huge challenge for you and me. People will always be willing to follow the example of a person who is full of integrity and honor.

Today is Day 53 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge and today we are challenging ourselves as we boldly declare:

This means that you honor others before yourself, you respect their rights and level of development in life. It also means that your word is as good as your signature, perhaps even better.

You might be asking: Why is my example important to my success?

Let’s look at the top 3 reasons that your success depends on your example:

1. An integral part of your life purpose (your why), is making a difference in people’s lives. In order to be able to impact others, you need to be an example they will want to follow.
   
   
2. No man is an island in this world, especially not a successful one. You need the support of others to achieve your dreams.

   People will readily support leaders they respect and trust. I am talking about support that comes from the heart. This is important.

3. Your income is an echo of your impact.

Today, Bob Burg tweeted this amazing and outstanding statement (on twitter):

“Your income is not a reflection of your goodness, worthiness, merit or industriousness: it is an echo of impact”

Bob Burg is the best selling author of The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea, Go-Givers Sell More and Endless Referrals, Third Edition.

Your words will have no impact if they are not supported by your actions. Ralph Waldo Emerson is attributed to saying: “Your actions speak so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.”

How true is that!

Someone else said:

Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions.  You may have a heart of gold – but so does a hard-boiled egg.  ~Author Unknown

So let’s take the challenge of today’s affirmation and declare it AND make sure that we live it.

• To defend his territory.
• To take new territory.

There is an enemy in this world. This enemy has a mission against you. He is out to steal your dreams and your life purpose.

He does this by stealing your faith and your hope from your heart.

Today is Day 32 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge.

Today’s affirmation is directed at defending yourself against this enemy:

What is the enemy’s target? Your heart.
How can the enemy touch your heart? By stealing your hope and your faith.

How can the enemy steal your faith?

Here are the 4 top strategies the enemy uses to steal your faith.

He exposes you to negative accusations and affirmations.
(For example, he will send people to say to you things like: Who do you think you are. You will never be good enough to become a CEO, or an international speaker, or to win medals in your sport).

He seeks to trick you into believing these negative accusations.
He will send people you trust and respect to say these things.

Why would they say things like that to you? Because they do not see your vision. Only YOU can really see your vision and your dream until it becomes physically visible.

Some will believe in you, but others will only see who they think you are. Their intentions will be “well meaning” They are trying to protect you from disappointment and failure.

He seeks to seduce you into listening to (and maybe even participating in) conversations that are full of negative affirmations. This is called gossip, and happens between family members, at work, and anywhere you have people who know you well.

He seeks to seduce you into watching TV programs that are full of negative insinuations, affirmations and ideas that WILL enter your mind as you watch.

You may think you are only watching entertainment and so it is “all in fun”, you don’t actually believe what you are watching.

Take a look at this book The Plug-In Drug: Television, Computers, and Family Life! After watching TV just 20 minutes, your brain becomes physically mesmerized by the radiation and you cease to filter out anything you are watching.

This means you will stay alert to what you are listening to, watching, thinking and saying.

You are a warrior who is fighting for your life purpose and your dreams.
Warriors stay focused on their purpose.

Make sure that your daily habits include listening to at least 30 minutes of good motivational teaching and reading at least 10 pages of a good non fiction book.

Here is a great way to strengthen the fortress around your heart:

Your life will never be the same. You owe it to yourself because:

Fear paralyzes you. You can day dream, but you cannot make REAL goals that you take action on when fear has it’s grips on you.

Fear will not allow you to step out of your comfort zone. You need to step out of your comfort zone to get onto the road that will take you to the achievement of your dreams.

Fear intimidates you into thinking that the voices of people around you are more important than your dream.

It is definitely time to get rid of fear from your life!

Today is Day 30 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge.

Today’s affirmation is aimed at demolishing fear from your life.

Do you believe this? Declare it with CONVICTION.

Are YOUR words actually powerful enough to demolish fear?
YES they are if they are spoken with faith and conviction.

Imagine a cat’s meow trying to intimidate a lion’s roar! No, that won’t work. There is no conviction in a cat’s meow, at least not when it is faced with a lion.

How can your words be filled with conviction?
In the Gospel of Luke 6:45 in the Bible, Jesus made an interesting statement.

He said: Out of the abundance of the HEART the MOUTH speaks.

So conviction comes from the heart.
Therefore you need to fill your heart and your mind with faith building words of conviction. Then your words WILL be filled with conviction.

This will happen when you are spending time every day:

• Listening to or watching strong motivational teaching.
• Reading good books on personal development, leadership, business strategies or books related to your field of expertise. Read at least 10 pages a day.
• Shutting your ears to negative words and influences.
• Surround yourself with empowering, positive friends.

In a nutshell:
YOU have to decide who and what is influencing your life.
YOU need to embrace every positive, faith building, empowering influence you can find.

Then your words will grow in conviction and you will be able to make this affirmation with great confidence:

Do make sure you are listening to recordings such as these audios and videos every day.

These recordings will get you off to a great start on your road to demolishing fear, or they will add to the conviction you already have.
