There is one thing you can be sure of. I guarantee that where fear reigns in your life, so does failure and frustration.

• Fear paralyzes your mind.
• Fear destroys your faith.
• Fear destroys your hope and your vision.

The wisest man who ever lived said: Without a vision the people perish.

Yes, without hope and a vision, you will in many ways (if not literally), lie down and die.

So we have established that the biggest obstacle to your success and achieving your life purpose is fear.

Knowing your enemy is definitely the first step towards conquering your enemy.

You cannot hit a target when you don’t know where it is right? And what is our target? Fear.

Now that you know what your biggest obstacle is you CAN conquer it.

I am sure that you already know that every positive change in your lives starts with a DECISION.

This is why today’s affirmation of the Lifestyle Freedom Club’s 210 Affirmation Challenge that we are following is so important.

Affirmation #156 declares:

Today’s affirmation is a declaration of your DECISION. You are deciding that fear will no longer reign over your life. Be sure to make this declaration out loud with boldness and conviction. Repeat this several times during your day.

Today’s Challenge – Actions Steps To Take: (This will help you to follow through on your decision).

1. Take some time to sit down and reflect on in what ways fear has been hindering your progress. Write these down in your journal.
2. Now read at least 10 pages of the inspirational or motivational book you are reading that the moment. If you are not reading such a book, I highly recommend you start with the book of Proverbs or Psalms in the Bible, Pushing to the Front by Orison Swett, The Everyday Visionary: Focus Your Thoughts, Change Your Life by Jesse Du Plantis or Champions Are Born, Losers Are Made by John Di Lemme.
3. Write down some positive actions steps you can make to conquer any fears you have detected in your life (inspired by what you have read).

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.

Why do I ask this question?

Today’s affirmation #106 of the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge is:

Ok, so what DOES this mean?
It means you have come to a place of absolute CERTAINTY in your focus and faith.

Now, this did not happen overnight.
It is a result of your daily consistent habits of speaking positive words, affirmations and taking positive action steps towards achieving your why.

It is the result of keeping the vision of your why before you every day, using your vision boards and/or pictures, movies. Whatever your mind and brain respond to the best.

It is the result of faithful, consistent daily action which forms your habits. These habits are formed first in your mind and then in your actions.

When you form the habits that are focused on taking daily steps towards achieving your why, these habits become a part of you. Because these habits have become a part of YOU, they are now something you do every day in the same way as you drive a car.

Driving a car is so much a part of live that you do not have to stop and plan first right? You just do it. It is a part of your life, and who you are (a good driver right

In the same way, when you spend time every day training your brain to only focus on faith so you can live in the positive realm you will come to that place of rest in your belief.

There it will be easier to stay focused on the positive. Why? Because you are training your brain that way, and it is becoming a habit.

Today’s Challenge:

• Stay faithful to your daily training program.
• Immerse yourself with positive words and affirmations every day.
• Avoid the negative speakers and naysayers and stay focused on your dream.

And always remember:

The answer may be already settled in your life, that is excellent. However, here is a secret I discovered across the years in Mexico.

Not everyone understands that THEY are responsible for achieving their why. Really!! Yes really.

Today’s affirmation is short yet powerful. This is Day 77 of this great 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge that I am involved in and blogging about.

What is a CEO?

• The CEO is the one who is responsible for the direction of a company.
• The CEO is responsible for the success or failure of a company.
• The CEO has the vision for the company.
• The CEO is the only one who can impart this vision to others (when it is just getting started).
• The destiny of the company depends largely on the abilities or lack of abilities of the CEO to lead the company to fulfill its mission statement or purpose.

That is a huge responsibility right? And do you know this is EXACTLY the responsibility that you have with your WHY. Your WHY is like the company. You are the CEO.

YOU are responsible for achieving your WHY. YOU are the one who has the vision for your life purpose (your WHY).

• I vividly remember writing the first booklet (Templos de Dios).
• I was the only one at the time who could “see” where I was going.
• I had the vision. I had to do the spade work.
• I was the writer, the cartoonist, the printer and the publisher of the first edition, and it was not a five minute PLR effort! It took 6 months to develop and perfect. (Later volumes were completed in much less time because the first edition had set the direction).

THEN once it was visible and tangible, others around me caught the vision, and came to help as thousands of copies were printed and sent out to Mexico and Central America.

The success or failure of achieving your WHY depends on YOU.
Sadly too many people come to the end of their lives with the seed of their WHY’s still in their hearts. The seed never grew. They did not understand, or perhaps they did not accept the responsibility that it was THEY who were to nurture that seed and make it grow. It was their responsibility to achieve their why.

Your why is not a day dream. It does not belong in the land of wishing.
Your why is YOUR responsibility to accept, train for it and achieve it.

Today’s challenge:
Have you accepted the position of CEO of your WHY?
Have you accepted this responsibility?

What exactly IS a Construction Zone?
I am a member of the Lifestyle Freedom Club (which was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time!). This is where I first heard the term “Construction Zone”, which is actually the area of your home that some may call “home office”.

However there is actually a huge difference between these two areas. A home office sounds very much like work right?

On the other hand, a construction zone sounds like an area of activity and production. And that is exactly the function of your construction zone.

Your construction zone will be organized. When your surroundings are unorganized it is so much more difficult to think clearly and then your creativity is greatly hindered. Organization is important.

Perhaps you find it difficult to stay organized. I know it can be a challenge at times, especially when you have a busy schedule and come home tired from work. Believe me I know.

But you can use your creativity to find ways to organize your surroundings and stay organized. I am in the process of doing this now with my home. Papers are the most difficult. You just have to be ruthless. That may be easy for you, and for others it may be tough. But through out those papers and other things you have not used in a while anyway!

Visualize Your Dreams:
Your vision board will be a central part of your construction zone. With pictures, photos and headlines that remind you of your vision, your WHY and your dreams your construction zone will be waiting to encourage and challenge you every time you walk in.

Your vision board needs to be laid out in a way the works for you. There are several different thinking styles and learning styles and the combinations of them all. This means that what works someone else may not work in the same way for you.

For example: I have seen some vision boards which work fantastically for their creators, but for me I look at them and my brain just scrambles. It has too much clutter for my brain to handle.

What DOES work better for me is a well laid out set of photos and pictures laid out in poster like format. The key is to find what will inspire and motivate you to move forward towards achieving your dreams.

Here is a challenge for you (and me) today:
First a question: Do you have a construction zone in your home? If you do:

• Is it organized?
• Does it inspire you to move continually press forward to reach your goals and dreams?
• Is it life changing?

Some questions for you:
How can you make your construction zone more motivating, organized, life changing?
Take some steps today to answer this question and take action!
