Live your passion, build your business

Hello! I like to take ‘different’ photographs from your usual holiday snapshots. I like to be creative with my camera, and sometimes even just create abstract “artwork” using the camera.

What this all has to do with building a business, or internet marketing will become clearer shortly. Stick around a minute and I’ll explain.

I like to go out and see the world from a different point of view sometimes. It helps me to clear my head of all the everyday things that we have going on and to create a little moment of ‘zen’ for myself.

I also find that because I am creating something then I have something to show for my time and I haven’t just ‘spent the time’ for no result.

I prefer to act in this way as a general rule.

You might like to take this idea and include it somehow in your lifestyle to give yourself a way of creating your own ‘zen’ moments if you like.

Here for example is a tree blossom in the morning dew, which I particularly like because when I look at this photo I can recall the freshness of the morning air, the quiet, the scents of the grass, and flowers and the feeling of appreciation of all the things around me that I do not often take the time to actually look at.

I feel good about that.

Can you get that feeling?….

Really tiny blue flowers on prickly weeds – macro

This next one is a macro shot of tiny blue flowers on some ‘weeds’, but ever so tiny that you have to get down on your knees to put your face close up to really see them, so my camera brought this image to me, of something we’d just walk over and miss.

Could you get the feeling of being able to experience all these things that you are missing, because you decided to raise your awareness of them?

Really. You are capable of far more than you currently think you are, and perceiving is one thing that you can increase simply by deciding to do so.

Do it now, increase you awareness of your surroundings. Look around you. Notice something that you haven’t noticed before.

Great.

Notice another.

Good.

I’ll continue…

The third image here is of frost on some ivy that grows around our house, and here with the early morning sun on it creates an interesting sugar coated effect on the leaves.

The cold morning and clean air is still there in my mind’s eye and re-experiencing this moment is a pleasure moment for me.

This does have a direct bearing in fact on helping you to build a business online, because you can tap into the feelings, sensations and emotions that you have experienced in the past and put them to use for you, to give you that boost in the day when things are getting a bit rattled.

Take a 5 minute break and detach yourself from the fray, checkout some pictures like these for example or any others that you have stocked in your mind , and recall a moment or two of a time when things were peaceful and you felt calm, happy, fulfilled.

Find a point when you were willing to be where you were, and enjoy that feeling.

Often in our day we can think “I wish I wasn’t here” , however ,due to our commitments, we have to be there, and we have to handle whatever comes our way.

Such is life. But we can find resource and help, in the form of our own thoughts, feelings and sensations that we have already experienced to bring us pleasure again.

A mind that is at peace makes better decisions than one that is on-edge and rattled to a frenzy. If that’s you, then find a moment and find yourself again, before you make decisions that will affect your future, your business, or your life.

By so doing, you can increase the likelihood of making good decisions that will keep you on your path to success and accomplishment, and keep you off the path to continual slavery to a society that needs a 2.0 upgrade, because there are far to many bugs in it the way it is.

Am I right? Yes, I thought so too. But there might not be a lot that we can do about all that craziness out there, but we CAN do something about ourselves and our ability to face and handle our chosen path in life and business.

If we learn this lesson, and concentrate our time and effort in becoming more competent, more capable, and less easily rattled by life, then we WILL survive better and help others do so in the same way.

From us, then, a sphere of influence spreads out into society, and more calm, productive effective people are made, and less crazy, fuming, ready-to-burst mindsets will be around.

You can become a purveyor of calm, unstoppable, productivity, and in so doing create the lifestyle that you want, that you deserve, and the world will be a better place for all of us.

Flourish and Prosper!
