To Live and Grow Requires Challenge and Making a Life Changing Decision

Today there exists a belief of being the victim. It is very clear that we live in a 'politically correct' society where we are very subtly taught to blame others for our own mistakes, sue everyone who apparently wrongs us, and where we do not accept responsibility for self.

We live in a culture of being obsessed with security and ease, and all around us must provide this for us. We seem to want all the risk removed from our lives, and to be safe, secure, and at ease 24/7 but..... life is the leading cause of death! None of us are ever completely safe and secure, and ease is only ever a temporary state.

Even in our spiritual development, we need to be constantly challenged and look anew at life around us. Many of the fastest growing religious countries at this time are those that face the greatest persecution for their belief. Does that prove anything? Do we need a bit of challenge to grow spiritually, physically and emotionally? As a personal trainer, I know that to grow physically stronger does indeed require challenge.

Is hearing this upsetting? Then you probably have a strong drive toward safety and security, and you have probably played it safe most of your life.

Alternatively, if the thought of safety and security makes you feel stifled, if the words job and slavery are repulsive to you, if life without a bit of adrenaline isn't worth living, then guess what? You more than likely have what it takes to master your mind, reach high levels of success, and achieve your goals.

Speaking personally for a moment, I thought I was a security seeker most of my life. I was raised to be one. (This is no reflection on my parents who were very loving and saw to it that I was educated etc... but more a reflection on the thinking of the culture at that time.) However, looking back I always gently took a different path in many ways to the norm; home schooling my children (not because I think school is bad, but because I saw what could be a better way), and a path away from anything that is too institutionalised; school, university, church, etc. but.......

Here is the thing! I get very nervous when I step out and choose to be an entrepreneur and run my own business, while at the same time, being unable to accept the obvious alternative. That is why I love the home based business that I am a part of, because it has allowed me to become the risk-taker I want to be - an entrepreneur - without the huge investments needed in other industries. I am helped, also, by the use of a proven, turnkey solution with which I can ease myself into the role of entrepreneur.

1. If you feel after reading this that you could not deal with the challenges of living life on the edge, then you are probably a risk-avoider. If you are happy there, then stay there. This business is not for you at this time.

2. If after reading this, you could not accept a job and ease without challenge, then you are probably a risk-taker. You are probably already an entrepreneur, or if not, then the home based business could be ideal for you. It could help you along the way to living your dreams.

3. If after reading this, you find challenge challenging, but are not happy living the life of a victim any longer, then the good news is you can learn to change. I have. This could be the very industry you need to become a part of to help you on the way to answering your entrepreneurial calling, and to take back responsibility for yourself. It could help you to make your life changing decision.

My personal mission statement is:-
'to meet each person where they are at, and offer them something that helps them get where they want to go'.

So, wherever you are in your personal journey, God bless you, and I wish you all the best.
