We came to the conclusion that you are either driven by faith or by fear. It depends on your focus. (Today’s question and yesterday’s question are knitted together).

When the main focus of your life is your life purpose (or your WHY), then you will be inspired to build your faith. Consequently your life will be driven by faith.

• You have a reason to develop yourself and your skills.
• You have a reason to train hard.
• You have a reason to work hard.
• You have a reason to never give up.

This is why your life purpose is also known as your “WHY”. It is the reason you do what you do.

However if your main focus is not clear it will be difficult for you to define your purpose in life or what you really want in life (your dreams and goals). This will result in your life being a candidate to be driven by fear.

Today we are looking at Day 101 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge that I am involved in and blogging about. Affirmation #101 reinforces your focus on your life purpose and consequently will help you ensure that your life is being driven by faith.

This is definitely a declaration of certainty and unwavering focus. As you make this declaration every day (along with the other affirmations that you have been collecting up until now) your focus will become clearer and stronger in your mind.

• Consequently your faith will increase.
• Opportunities will suddenly cross your path. (You have become more alert to see and recognize these opportunities because of the strength of your focus).

  I am solely guided by Achieving my Why Now

  Today’s Challenge:

  • Make sure that your life purpose is clear in your mind.
  • Make sure that you are declaring your life purpose out loud every day. This will help you to keep your focus clear and strong.
  • Write down your WHY on a index card and read it out loud every morning and every evening.

  And always remember that:

  We looked at how a champion can be identified by the way they train, think and act.

  Today let’s consider three top characteristics of a champion. These characteristics are all foundational to your success in life. That is why today’s affirmation is so powerful!

  Today is Day 50 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge,

  My prosperity is solely based on one fact and one fact only
  I am a Champion

  The three top characteristics of a champion:

  1. A disciplined and focused mind.
  A champion is laser focused on his or her dreams and goals in life. Your dreams and goals will be driven by your WHY, (your life purpose). This is the foundation to creating your positive mindset for living the life of a champion.

  You will find this CD (Find Your Why Now) will help you to find and strengthen your why. Get a copy sent to you TODAY.

  Once you know you why, you will have a strong sense of purpose in your life. What a difference that makes to EVERY AREA of your life!

  2. Obstacles Are Challenges Not Problems
  Champions are overcomers. This means that obstacles are never problems, they are always challenges and opportunities.

  An obstacle is a challenge to learn more, become better at what you are doing or sharpen your skills in a certain area. Challenges will always stretch you and push you out of your comfort zone.

  That is why champions love challenges.

  Obstacles can also become opportunities to climb up to the next level in your life.

  Obstacles will always make you bitter or better. We certainly have an incredible example of this today with the testimony of 33 men who were trapped in a mine for 69 days.

  President Pinera commented in one of the speeches he gave during the day of this incredible rescue: All of the miners are coming out full of faith!

  These men’s lives are being transformed by what was a horrific event. But their courage, faith and determination turned it around. The same characteristics are certainly found in their rescue team. It was a major demonstration of incredible team work.

  My prosperity is solely based on one fact and one fact only
  I am a Champion

  3. Champions live in commitments, not in feelings
  I am sure you are fully (perhaps even painfully) aware that if you allow your feelings to rule your life, there are lot of things that will happen to you:

  • Life will have no clear direction. You will find yourself being carried like a leaf in the wind.
  • Your decisions will be clouded and all too often will lead you to great regrets down the road.
  • Feelings will tie you to your past, to negative people and other things that will hold you back.

  Well I know this is not YOU, because YOU are a champion, and champions are driven by commitments. This means that:

  • Champions have a definite purpose in their lives. They know where they are going.
  • The decisions of a champion will be based on facts not on emotions.
  • Champions release themselves from their past, from negative people and from everything that holds them back.

  Does this sound like you? If not, it can. The choice is yours!

You and only you are responsible for the achievement of your why. No one else can do this for you. The reason that so many people leave this earth with unfulfilled dreams is they do not take responsibility for achieving their dreams and their life purpose (their why). Instead they live in the land of excuses. They spend their lives using words like:
  • If only I could.
  • I wish.
  • When this happens, or that happens then I will ...
  This could even happen to you if you do not take responsibility for your why. This is why today's affirmation is so important. ]]> Are you focused on your why?

  This is why today’s affirmation is so important.

  Today is Day 27 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge and today we are adding Affirmation No 27 to our daily exercise:

  I am achieving my Why

  Five simple words, but when you add emotion (passion) and action to them they will change your life.

  Remember: affirmations help to train your brain, but you need to add ACTION to see results in your life!

  When your focus is truly set on your WHY then your goals, your daily action plan and your daily actions will all be strategically aimed at achieving your life purpose and your dreams.

  • Your why is your destiny in this life.
  • Your why is your purpose in life.
  • Your why will lead you to make a difference in this world.

  Do you know what your why is?
  Do you know where you are going in this life?

  If not, you owe it to yourself to stop and go over and get this CD right now!
  Listen to it and make notes.
  Listen to your heart. You WILL find your why.

  I am achieving my Why

  My why is strongly related to working with youth in Latin America, inspiring and motivating them to find their life purpose and fulfill it. This is why the photo on today’s slide.

  Your slide with be different. It will have a photo of something that relates to your why.

  I trust that you are involved in this 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge. It is a big one, but big effort produces big results!

I am sure that you know you were born with a destiny. That is your life purpose or your "Why". A great part of your life purpose is the difference you are making on this world.
  • There is a place in this world that is waiting for YOU to fill.
  • There are people in this world who need YOUR touch, your encouraging words, and your support.
  • There are projects, businesses and visions that need YOUR participation to help make them happen.

  I am sure that you know you were born with a destiny. That is your life purpose or your “Why”.

  A great part of your life purpose is the difference you are making on this world.

  • There is a place in this world that is waiting for YOU to fill. Only YOU can fill it!
  • There are people in this world who need YOUR touch, your encouraging words, and your support.
  • There are projects, businesses and visions that need YOUR participation to help make them happen.

  Today is Day 25 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge.

  The affirmation we are adding today is:

  I am a mentor to millions.

  That may sound rather ambitious to you at first.
  However you already have a circle of influence. This is a group of people who influence your life and you influence their lives.

  They in turn influence others, and their influence includes are portion of what YOU have put into their lives.

  I am sure that you have taken a stone or pebble and tossed it into the river when on a picnic right? This is one of my favorite pastimes when we go to a river or even by the sea where there are small stones.

  I love to find the flat stones and skip them across the water. When you toss a pebble into water, what happens?

  It drops into one place in the water and then there is a ripple that multiplies right?

  This is how you can reach millions.

  Audrey Hepburn gives you some great advice here:

  Keep trying. Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, move outward one step at a time.

  I am a mentor to millions.

  Fact: You ARE a mentor right now.

  Question: What kind of a mentor are you?

  Challenge: Take a look at how you are influencing others. Continue with your self development training plan EVERY DAY and your influence upon others will be more and more positive.

  Once you have found your why, begin to plan your goals, strategies and daily action plans aimed at reaching your destiny, your life purpose.

  Fear is always a major enemy of anything you do in life that requires stepping out of your comfort zone. That is where today’s affirmation comes in:

  Greater is the Why that is in me than
  the fear that is trying to steal my Destiny

  Once you are sure of your “WHY” (your life purpose), you can declare this with boldness and confidence.

  Fear cannot defeat you because your life dreams and purpose is much bigger in your mind and life.

  • Fix your eyes on your WHY
  • Plan to achieve your why.
  • Work to achieve your why.

  Fear will try to stop you, but:

  Greater is the Why that is in me than the
  fear that is trying to steal my Destiny

  That is because:
