We\u2019ve all heard the phrase \u201cMind over Matter.\u201d But what does that really mean, and Why does it even matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nPurpose before Substance by f1231520309<\/i><\/p>\n

My last post was about celebrating the Chinese New Year \u2013 the Year of the Snake<\/a>.\u00a0 That got me to thinking about new birth and new creation and purpose<\/strong>, and the fact that EVERYTHING in Creation gets created twice!\u00a0 And the FIRST Creation is all about Purpose.\u00a0 Here\u2019s why I think this is important to you:<\/em><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve considered entrepreneurship, or home-based business, you have likely began the journey toward your objectives with some purpose in mind. Maybe it involves helping people to lose weight and get in shape. Or maybe you feel your purpose in life is to bring more beauty into the world, through fashion or art or music.\u00a0 Whatever the case, you first had to have an idea, an image of what that business should deliver, BEFORE you began the process of pulling the pieces together, in order to actually BUILD your business.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what else is new?\u201d you\u2019re wondering!\u00a0 Of COURSE you have to have a purpose in mind before you pursue it!<\/p>\n

The reason I think it\u2019s worth talking about is because after you start down the path of fulfilling your purpose in life by creating your business, THEN is when all the obstacles show up!\u00a0 And THAT is when you need to remember this most valuable message: Whatever you imagine is what you will create<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 If you imagine a successful, thriving business, satisfying customers and clients and partners around the globe, that is what you will build. If you imagine: \u201ctoo scared to make phone calls;\u201d \u201cnot worth asking for loan;\u201d \u201ccan\u2019t understand how to work the numbers or the technology;\u201d \u201cdon\u2019t feel like I\u2019m worth raising my fees by 50% or 100%;\u201d then sure as the dickens, that is what you will get.<\/p>\n

The KEY to calling upon your life\u2019s purpose in a way that will lead to prosperity is Personal Growth.\u00a0 Here are just a FEW of the ways to generate the kind of self-development that will lead to prosperity:<\/p>\n

  • Seek out, and hang out with people who have walked ahead of you on your path. These people are HUMAN, just like you, and likely faced the same fears and concerns. They\u2019ll help you \u2018walk it out.\u2019<\/li>\n
  • Every day \u2013 consume something good for you (e.g. audiotapes; videos; books from great thought leaders like , and <\/p>\n
