Aston Martin and Jaeger Lecoultre are due to release a new timepiece in early October at the Paris Motor Show. This swiss made watch will not only serve as esquisite wristwear, but also as the gate keeper to the Aston Martin DBS. This watch known as The AMVOX2 DBS Transponder allows key less entry to the DBS though an actual key is needed to drive off. The release of this watch leads me to wonder if there will be one to acompany Aston Martin’s Million Dollar One-77. To continue with the James Bond tradition I would like to see Omega fill this void. Yes, that will be $37,600.00 to not have to reach in your pocket to open the door…

50 Cent tops Forbes’ annual list of the world’s highest-paid rappers beating out the likes of Jay-Z, Sean Combs, and Kanye West. Considering this is his earnings for one years work, boy how dreams can hit new levels when you get in the right place and find your groove in life. I noticed how many of the smarter rappers quickly take to the entrepreneur scene once experiencing some success, catapulting them further then music alone ever could. With the theme “artist turned marketing mogul”, how would 50’s life had turned out had he pursued a career as a businessman from the beginning? Same goes for Jay-Z, and Sean Combs “P-Diddy”, would they have been so successful without the music as a launchpad? In my opion yes and no. Yes if the confidence they have built in themselves over the years were present in the begining. Self confidence, swagger and belief can lead you to do things you could not have dreamed. Not sure if anyone has asked 50, but I wonder when he was just a New York rapper doing mixed tapes could he foresee the power business moves and marketing genious he would bring into the world to amass such a fortune? 50 raked in over $100 million after taxes on a single deal earlier this year, Forbes notes, when his stake in Glacéau (parent co. of VitaminWater) was bought by Coca-Cola as part of a $4.1 billion takeover.

I ran into a good friend of mine as I was leaving the gym today, he was just sitting in his car. I asked him why and he explained to me that he was listening to a story on the radio about a kid who dropped out of high school to pursue a career in professional gaming. Of course this person had become a successful gamer and makes a substantial income competing in tournaments. My friend was amazed and shocked that people actually make a living playing video games and pondered if he could get into such a career. This all goes back to taking your passion and turning it into your livelihood. It all depends on how bad he wants that change and what he’s willing to do to make it happen.

Everyone has come across one story or another about people who quit there jobs to do this, or dropped out of school to do that (not that I recommend either). When you believe in yourself there is nothing you can’t do. Yes, it requires risk and sacrifices, but when you hear those inspirational stories about people doing extraordinary things you would also love to do, figure out how you can do it too and go after it!

Looks like Aston Martin is ready to release it’s a million dollar prize. Apparently only 77 will be made, so clearly there will be a race between the mega wealthy to see who gets there hands on one. If I’m going to shell out a million, it will be for a Lamborghini Reventon (below) instead. Not sure about handling comparisons or what not, but that Lambo looks like it can morph into a fighter jet and take off…

Boy I just got that dreaded invitation in the mail! It’s time for my “10 year class reunion”. The quintessential point in your life when you start evaluating where you are, where you’re going, and if you’re where you thought you would be. Mind you I was the person quoted in the year book saying, “I will be a very wealthy man in 10 years”. Laughing…

Have I done it? Any many areas yes, since we all know wealth isn’t just about money and things. My life is wonderful other then the financial piece. I have a wonderful marriage that’s going on 2 years, great friends, and a huge loving family that does everything together. I have a great job (temporarily hopefully) were I enjoy working, while I have to.

So what’s my problem? Within myself I know that I am on the right track to getting exactly where I want to be. I have many projects going on currently that are taking me closer and closer to my goals, but should I be further along at this point? No. I believe every failure I’ve had thus far has brought me closer to my goals, so coming into this time of self evaluation I am quite proud of myself. I don’t compare myself to others, but to my own expectations, and as you all have read in previous posts those expectation are large and real. No “pie in the sky” here.

Well today is August 12, so I have until November to polish off the rest of that wealth I was supposed to have! Laughing… I’m actually glad I set such a high goal back then, because though I’m not “Wealthy” at this point I have never forgotten that quote and have been working towards it since then. Striving for such a great goal on an exact time frame has brought me so far and further than I would have gone if I had no goal at all.

How was your class reunion(s)? Did you find yourself evaluating how far you have come and how your life has changed since you last saw all your class mates? Set any new goals since? If not you should, challenge yourself and see how far you can go by the next one. You don’t know what your capable of until you try and believe you can!

“We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.”- Woodrow T. Wilson

Heard on the “Today” show a Russian Billionaire breaks world record in the purchase of Villa Leopolda, a Belle Époque mansion in Villefrance on the Côte d’Azur. The purchase totaled €500 ($750 million).

Is this a dream come true, or a “show” of power & wealth? Hmmm, seeing that the buyer remained anonymous maybe it was genuinely a dream come true. My dream home would currently weigh in right around 2.5 million. I guess the more you’re exposed to larger horizons the bigger your goals are? One thing I do know, is I will not pay that much money for a home. Then again some people would never pay 2.5 million for one either. Which is why it all boils down to who you are, and what it is you truly want out of life.

I’m sitting here watching the opening of the 2008 Olympics from my couch in Orlando, FL. These are the times when one’s success takes them to unparalleled experiences, when you get to absorb moments in time that will last forever in memory. China has worked since 2001 to make this Olympics a spectacle without measure. Those who are experiencing these games will take these moments with them forever. One of my major goals is to travel East to experience the culture, the history, and atmosphere. To bad I couldn’t have that goal coincide with the 2008 Summer Games. No matter, I will make it out East someday, until then my TV screen will have to do. Today I set a goal to be at the next Olympics! You should meet me there, see you in the UK in 2012!

To go along with China’s belief in the prosparity of the number 8 I will be publishing this post @

Amosu’s ultra lux devices are clearly for the high spenders and that “well to do” crowd with their diamond studded iPhones and such. Fetching prices upwards of $20,000.00 leads one to ask, what type of person is willing to spend that much money for a phone that will be updated every year? I guess you can send it back to get the diamonds stripped off to add it to your new version (3G), or maybe add it to the display case next to past diamond studded collections. My question is, “what type off success has led Amosu Clients to their level of prowess to where they can afford one, and how can I get that in my life”?

Nothing much to say here, but I know where I need to vacation and what wheels I need to have on tap for the ride. This photo exemplifies the “Good Life”, to me that is. When traveling to Italy why not tour the country side with what many refer to as the “Ultimate Super Car”, Ferrari. Apparently Red-Travel can hook you up with a luxury vacation that includes this Italian Exotic as apart of the vacation package. What’s your “Good Life” comprise of? Go Get It!

You ever notice on some days when your anxious to get some where or are in a hurry, every street light you reach you get stopped. No matter what turns you make, or what short cut you try, stop, stop, after stop. Then there are other days whe your relaxed and just going with the flow and light after light you get the green. Seems like in life it’s the same cycle. Some people constantly get stopped from moving towards there goals and dreams by one thing or another. So much to the point that they stop moving all together and get stagnant.

When you stop moving forward your cutting yourself off to that cycle of good and prosperirty that’s coming your way, the green light. If you just conitnue to move you will get to a phase when you start getting the green. GO, GO, GO! When things just start to fall into place as if someone up above was moving the pieces for you. In fact I believe in all things God will stop you to build your character first, and prepare you. Then He gives you the green! This post is interesting for me personally because I feel myself moving into the “Green Light” era in my life. The time for stopping and roadblocks are now beginning to move, and opportinity and prosparity is all around me. Just observing the things happening around me is really exciting as I anticipate what’s coming next.

“You may get stopped often, and run into obstacles, but keep moving, keep striving for what you really want in life. One day your going to notice when you start getting the green light in all that you do. That’s when it’s “Your Time”, don’t quit before you get there, it may be just around the corner.” - emdoozie

How do you learn from your examples? By now almost everyone has heard of James Dyson and his Dyson Vacuum Cleaners. But do you know the story of where he came from and the journey he traveled to get to his current level of success? Some do, others don’t, but what’s for sure is if he didn’t know what he wanted and dreamed big, his inventions wouldn’t be featured in retail stores and museums throughout the world.

In my opinion I am not very good at any one thing, but I do know in all things I am persistent and determined to live the life I have imagined for myself. No matter what I try, be it a new idea, or a joining business venture, I will continue to go after my “ideal life”. I got it, I’m good at trying stuff and hoping it takes me to my dreams, laughing! It took Dyson 14 years before his first product hit a retail store. He could have given up on year 6, 7, or 8. Through those 5000 prototypes of developing his product what number would you have quit on? From what I have read about James Dyson and now understand is if you enjoy what your doing it doesn’t matter how long it takes to become successful, because your enjoying the ride. Find what you love, go after it, and dream big. Never know where you’ll end up?

From Dyson.com:

“You know the feeling when some everyday product lets you down. ‘I could have designed this better myself’, you think. But how many of us turn our thoughts into actions?

James Dyson does.

He is a man who likes to make things work better. With his research team he has developed products that have achieved sales of over $6 billion worldwide”

Recently my wife and I took a trip Jared to get my Tissot Time Piece battery replaced. While at Jared it’s hard to do nothing but fantasize about the stunning jewelry and watches on display. So I’m looking around while wating when all of sudden I become drawn to the Time Piece section of the store where there is a sea of orange, black, stainless steel, and crystal staring at me. Instantly I began plotting how I was going to get one of these on my wrist.

“Why not try it on”, asks the sells guy… it was the Omega Planet Ocean. Once trying it on I knew for a fact that this watch would be mine in the near future. The weight of it alone gives you the feel of a real MAN’s watch, sorry ladies. The chrome and black combination with the orange accents is really what put me over the top. If you don’t know by now my favorite color is orange, specially in combination with black. It just looked damn good on my wrist and really complimented my wedding band. You know this is getting added to my must have list and 43Things. And please believe I will be updating this post with pics once I get my hands on one.

“It’s all about knowing what you want” - emdoozie

Soon I will join the ranks of George Clooney, Bond, James Bond, and various others who call the Omega their Time Piece of choice. There are many more Omega models I must get my hands on, but we are going to take it one piece at a time. I added more pics for your viewing pleasure below. Mostly Orange & Black ones. Now I know why I loved the Cincinatti Bengals growing up. Icky Shuffle anyone? LOL

I was reading an article in the New York Times in tittled “Putting The Dream Car Out to Pasture”. The article coveys a practical message that even I am battling with on a daily basis. I currently drive a Nissan Titan which I love, but haven’t filled it up since Gas went over $3.00 a gallon probably. If I could sell it and buy a more practical car I would. The only problem I have with this article is the title. “The Dream Car” is the ultimate symbol of your goals and what you have been striving for to consider yourself successful. It’s going to take more than gas prices for me to give up my “Dream Car” aspirations.

From “Putting The Dream Car Out to Pasture”:

“Americans’ longtime romance with the automobile is being severely tested, and in some cases dashed entirely, now that every trip gives rise to worries about how much a fill-up costs, guilt over how much damage the exhaust is contributing to the destruction of the planet, and self-consciousness about the image a full-size behemoth conveys today about its driver…”

There is a difference between practicality and living out your desires. If you can’t afford a vehicle, yes, it is wise to sell it in order to manage your finances better and purchase a more cost effective means of transportation. BUT when we are speaking about our dreams nothing should stray us away from that goal. If your a regular reader you know full well how I feel about the Lamborghini LP640, which may get 8 miles to the gallon on a good day LOL. Yet the person who can afford a Lambo is not concerned about the gas mileage, it’s more about the performance, beauty, and passion for the car. Filling the tank is more like paying admission to your favorite theme park, only your favorite ride is always on tap, and you never have to wait in line.

Giving up goals because of obstacles is out of the question in my book. Knowing that you have given up gives you the room to take is easy. I have faith that Lamborghini and other exotic manufacturers are striving to produce more environment friendly Super Cars, but until then maybe the environmentally focused dreamers can set their sites on the hydrogen propelled Scorpion

It was fricking hot today, when I decided to go out and do some much needed yard work. Here in Florida when that heat and humidity starts kicking in high gear it gets ruff! I swear I was getting delusional out there. Sort of reminded me of the conditions when I used to play football and have two-a-day summer practices. But on the other side when your done it’s a great feeling of satisfaction. Specially after that good cold shower followed by a large glass of Kool-Aid or nearly frozen Beer LOL! By the wat that’s totally not my house in the picture, my dream home is Sorrento LOL.

As much as I hate lawn maintenance it has to be done when you own a home or any property, and there are many people who love to do it, its even therapeutic for them. My father loves it so much his life could be spent grooming his lawn/garden and lounging by the pool. I also have a good friend who loves gardening and the outdoors. He now owns a successful landscaping company after deciding engineering in Corporate America was not his cup of tea. There’s a good example of turning what you love into your career.

To me lawn maintenance is that dreaded time of the week when I know I have to do battle with mother nature. Yet for others, it’s a joy and blessing which provides wealth, satifaction, and ultimately dreams realized. Look all around you, if you have a passion for something others hate doing, it may be your business waiting to come alive. There is always an opportunity to build a career doing work for others when they would much rather pay someone then do it themselves. You better believe Professional Lawn Service is apart of my ideal life.

Recently I was reading an article on entrepreneur.com that discussed entrepreneurship and becoming succeeful at an early age. It was an interview with Jennifer Kushell the author of Secrets of the Young & Successful: How to get everything you want without waiting a lifetime. That title alone envokes the exact thoughts I have about becoming successful. I don’t believe you have to be silver haired and in your latter years to be a great success, yet so many people put that limitation on themselves. In the article Jennifer describes the charactersitics she thinks of when the “young and successful” come to mind:

• They display high levels of optimism and confidence.
• They possess vision and passion in their dreams and convictions.
• They ensure that they surround themselves with other like-minded people.
• They’re highly resourceful, creative and inventive.
• They seize opportunities and create their own whenever possible.
• They know what motivates them.
• They have a strong sense of personal identity.
• They have spent a substantial amount of time on introspection and self-discovery.
• They refuse to let other people dictate how they should live.
• They take responsibility for their happiness.
• They spin challenges into their greatest motivators-and sometimes biggest advantages.
• Most importantly, they take control and ownership of their lives and careers early on, and never let go.

I can identify with everyone of those points. This is a good example of why we all need to constantly be on our game and searching within ourselves about what we want and how we are going to get it.

“YOU ARE WHAT YOU WANT”- emdoozie

Check out Jennifer’s Book:

Last week I went on a brief vacation to Washington D.C. with my wife Karen to get away from it all and for her to take part in her sororities’ 100th Anniversary. When I say vacations are a must, geeze man! Being the ambitious person that I am I have gotten involved in many things to propel myself forward. So much to the point where at times I feel over whelmed by all the different things I have to think about and process. Currently there are remnants of ventures gone south that I am currently slowly removing from my life so that I can focus on the successful activities and things that I enjoy.

“Don’t stay involved in anything you don’t enjoy, or else you will become a slave to it” - emdoozie

Okay I went on a tangent there…, back to vacation. Coming from Florida just the layout of the city and the architecture was enough to put me in another world. When first arriving in the city we decided to take the Metro (subway) to our hotel. When exiting the subway we thought we got it wrong and ended up taking a cab the rest of the way when our hotel was only a couple blocks away (not funny). No matter we were on vacation, “all is well”. You ever notice when your on vacation all your worries at home seem to go away. Why can’t we live our lives like that on a daily basis? We constantly worry and stress about things we have no control over, only to realize it eventually works out for the best in the end anyway. This is why I decided a while ago to stop stressing about things that I have no control over because it’s a waste of brain power, time, and good health.

At any rate D.C. was a great experience viewing the monuments and exploring my nations capitol where so many decisions are made that affect many lives in the U.S. (See US economy). Karen’s sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha commemorated there 100th by staging a walk down Pennsylvania Ave to the Capitol, the only group to ever close this street besides The Pope. It was amazing walking down a major street in a capitol city with 25,000+ other people (most of which where woman wearing pink and green).

We also took a walk through other parts of the city sight seeing, and we stumbled on Embassy Row where most of the foreign embassies are located. In the way that my mind works these days, seeing them brought to mind how so many foreign residents have come to America to stake there claim and are succeeding. Yet many of us who are born in America are jaded to the potential that is present in the U.S. I want to embody that attitude of reaching a new land and attaining all my dreams. Do you believe in the “American Dream”? Check my article on that one to see how I feel about it.

As I do in most places I love to experience new restaurants and dinning, and I must say their where two restaurants that make we want to make special trips back to D.C. just for food. First is Five Guys Burgers & Fries, (just found out there is a location near me, yes!) one of the best burgers I have ever had, and rivals Fat Burger. Second is ThaiPhoon an authentic Thai Food restaurant that featured “Curry Puffs” (minced curry chicken and potatoes in a fried wanton type deal), one of the best Thai Restaurants I have experienced thus far.

Needless to say I had a great time and have went on many tangents in this post, but the main point I wish to make is a good vacation is really refreshing, and leaves you rejuvenated and motivated when returning home. How do you feel when your about to return from a vacation? Dread or Excitment, the answer to that question will tell you if your living your dreams or just treading water in life. Change your life, its up to you! doozieUp is a state of mind. Keep plugging until you find that sweet spot.

It seems like it’s been a long time now that I have been on the quest to start my own business and become financially free. Trying all types of quirky things to say, “I’m in business”, most of which didn’t work. Don’t loose site though, the reason you try business after business or idea after idea is that you’re determined to change and take control of your life and how your live it. Every venture you have ever been apart of has been your learning experience and is bringing you closer and closer to that one idea that’s acutally going to work. Only problem is if you stop trying one idea short of that waiting success, you will never know. If one doesn’t work, just start over. Don’t give up, take everything in stride and learn from every experience and develop that knowledge to make your next idea great.

Let me tell you that I have tried all types of ways to make money, and start my own businesses. Problem is when your working with little to know money you take what you can get when it comes to business. I believe I’m on track now to that one that’s going to work. I rather not talk about it now until I prove it’s not another learning experience. LOL

Have faith in God that he is leading you in a certain direction for a reason. Never stop and never settle, but do be grateful and humble. That major turning point is just around the corner. Until then keep dreaming, focusing on what you truly want, and taking action.

I may offend the environmentalist every now and then with my rants about the hottest exotic cars on the market. Most of which may get 8 miles to the gallon on a good day. Well I have found the car to please both worlds. Ron Motor Companies‘ Scorpion. A high performance exotic sporting twin turbo, 400+ horsepower Hydrogen performance.

The Scorpion looks really sweet with that “one-off” never before seen look to it. You can pull up in this and turn heads while simultaneously helping the environment by reducing your carbon footprint. I love the looks of this cars, and it comes in some color schemes that reminds me of those “Hot Wheels” toy cars I used to get as a kid that changed colors in hot and cold water. LOL

I guess the more our fuel crisis grows car enthusiasts are gong to have to start making some hard choices when it comes to giving up there tarmac scorching super cars for the less powerful hybrids. I am happy to see auto manufacturers trying hard to bridge the gap between Super Car & Environment friendly vehicles. Until the time when Exotics & Eco friendly cars are created equal, I still must have my beloved Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 & the 911 Turbo Cabriolet!

Ron Motor Company on Hydrogen Fuel Technology:

Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI) produces hydrogen during vehicle operation through electrolysis of water using the power generated from the vehicles electrical system. A small amount of hydrogen added to the vehicles intake air/fuel mixture allows the engine to operate with less fossil fuel.  Ronn Motor Company will use this technology in its revolutionary Scorpion to achieve lower emissions and vastly improved fuel economy.

There are two main kinds of Hydrogen Hybrid automobile. These are fuel cell vehicles and Hydrogen internal combustion engines, (HICE) like our first automobile “The Scorpion”. Fuel cell vehicles are electric cars. Hydrogen is pumped into a tank in the car, just as gasoline. The hydrogen gas is then fed into the fuel cell where it is electrochemically converted into electricity–with no combustion, no moving parts and no emissions other than water vapor. The electricity is used to power the vehicle.

Hydrogen ICE vehicles use a regular combustion engine modified to use gaseous hydrogen instead of liquid gasoline (much like a natural gas vehicle is modified). They burn hydrogen or a combination of gasoline and hydrogen, but since there is no carbon in hydrogen, there are no or almost no CO2 emissions and only trace amounts of NOx (oxides of nitrogen). Hydrogen ICE vehicles are typically about 30-50% more efficient than comparable gasoline vehicles.

Ready for your trip to Athens, Greece? It’s about history in this storied land, from ancient wonders to the glorious Mediterranean there is much to experience in Athens. The experience of laying your eyes on the lands you’ve read and seen so many movies about is something special.

Taking in the sites and the history is wonderful, but at the end of the day why not take refuge in one of the most luxurious resorts on The Mediterranean. Did I mention the 10 Five Star Diamond Award winning restaurants?

“The Grand Resort Lagonissi”

From GrandResort.gr:

“The legendary peninsula of Grand Resort Lagonissi is Athens’ most complete destination resort, settling high standards for first class service and outstanding facilities. The unique location is the perfect choice any time of season for either business or leisure travelers. The superb resort, adjacent to the cultural treasures and privileged Mediterranean aura is the idyllic location where every visitor could find tranquility and peace.”

XOPrivate says:
The Grand Resort Lagonissi represents the consummate in luxury in terms of location, design, facilities and service. The highest level of pampering, relaxation, leisure and recreation are values offered to the discerning visitor who wants to live this experience. The resort is located on the south side of the Athens area, amid 72 hectares of lush greenery.

A range of restaurants and bars situated on the waterfront serve an imaginative selection of local and international cuisine in a breathtaking natural setting. The water sports activities range from sailing and windsurfing, to waterskiing and scuba diving. On land, guests enjoy tennis, fitness activities and an extraordinary spa experience.

The resort provides endless choices of luxurious accommodations in the main building’s rooms and suites, the private Mediterranean bungalows, and in the lavish villas and suites, which have their own private swimming pools. All bedrooms offer direct access to sandy beaches and boast a steam bath and a Jacuzzi bathtub.

Referred to in Gizmodo as a lair, this secret hide-out is where one stills away to enjoy a fine glass of Merlot while admiring 1,500 other soon to be victims of aficionado pleasure. With the stainless outer walls, temperature controlled red wood interior, and computer inventory system, your (would be) Vegas money would be well spent. Or you could just buy a fine timepiece or three, Patravi TravelTec maybe?

Seriously this is the sweetest Wine Cellar I have ever seen, or read about. Referred to as the “Walk-In Wine Cellar Vault” by  manufacturer Bars Cigars and Brew, this would definitely redefine your luxury estate. I say devote an entire room to Wine, Cigars, Spirits, and other treasured connoisseur items. The ultimate “MAN ROOM”, sorry ladies, your welcome to join in, I just got caught up…LOL

As apart of this grand lair (if you will) I would definitely need an area devoted to my Louis XIII de Rémy Martin. Now see this is what fine living is all about! My vision is coming clearer and clearer. Don’t worry you’re all invited to my first cyber dinner party via web cam, or just see my personal episode of MTV cribs. I will just have to hire my own video crew…he he

This is a question that should be posed to kids right out of highschool. Before going to college or picking a major, kids should be asked what would they love to do, what are you interested in. All money aside, this is the main question that makes or brakes lives. Maybe there should be some curriculumn in college that just expsoses students to many subjects to spark their interests before they are allowed to pick a major.

I love where I work (since I have to currently) but I don’t love what I do. To tell you the truth I am not sure what I love doing. Since college I have not had much time to think about what I have a passion for because I was so focused on getting a “good job” that would guarantee a good living. Going into college my whole mentality was, “what major will guarantee me the most money for the least amount of schooling”. Yeah, funny right. In 1998 Computer Information Systems was the winner, so that’s where I ended up.

I am not a natural born geek like many of my co-workers, though I do have geek tendencies, but I can say this field has exposed me to many ways I can achieve my goals. I guess the question that always comes up is, if money was not an object, what would you be doing? I would coach HighSchool Football. In my opion Highschool Football is were the sport is most pure and uncorrupted. Yet there in lies a problem, I also love exotic cars, traveling, timepieces, nice homes and other lavish things. If you find me a HighSchool Football Coach who has this life, please point him out.

In the mean time I am going to focus on building a business ( I enjoy) which will afford me control over my time as well as financial freedom. Then I can Coach Football and enjoy the fabulous life as well. This is what doozieUp is all about, creating your life to be exactly what you want. I know I can do this, I hope you know it too.

To live your ideal existence you need to:

• Find out what your passionate about
• Discover how your going to earn your desired income with it, or an outside income to support it
• Set Goals, Take Action, Take Action, Don’t Settle, Don’t Compromise

“Be thankful for where you are and appreciative, but don’t settle for less than your full potential. Go higher and further then you have ever imaged, as long as you stay true to who “you” are and what “you” want. Don’t do it to impress others, or you will be left feeling empty because other peoples adoration is short lived” - emdoozie

From what I hear we are in a recession. I am not going to define what a recession is because I’m sure by now you have been bombarded with the meaning, causes, and implications. That “hunker down and wait it out” mentality is settling in around the country. Even those who aren’t in a financial crunch are shutting down their spending, making things worse. It’s time to get off that recession train and look towards our future and how we want to live our dreams. Rest assured there will be many who come out of this better than when they went in. Don’t let bad news and the onslaught of recession talk halt your progress towards your goals. Use it as a motivational tool to push yourself even harder.

“What you focus on grows”

The more you focus on the Recession, the more Recession your going to get. Focus on the future, your goals, and abundant living. Focus on Prosperity. Set goals, take action, and start living! You can accept your reality, or change your future. You choose. If you can or you can’t, you are absolutely right!
