START WITH "WHY" AND END IN "WHY NOT"

by Ronald Reeker

This is the question that most people think about but few people ever make the decision to take action.

They create reasons in their mind why things might go wrong instead of reasons why things might go right.

They concentrate on the negative instead of the positive.

As a result nothing happens and they live their life thinking of what could have happened if i had done this. 

Their life could have been so exciting and rewarding if they had chosen to think:

WHY AND WHY NOT NOW

Find a reason why you really want to do something and do not wait for it to happen. 

CREATE A WHY AND DO IT NOW

Nothing in your life will come to you if you only think about it, and do not take action for it happen.

First find a passion and purpose (a why) in your life you want to pursue. Think of how you are going to make it a reality.

Make it meaningful and designed for you and not for someone else. 

Think and focus only on all the positive ways your passion (why) will be successful and not the on the negatives.

START WITH WHY

Next create a plan of action to achieve your passion or purpose and adjust it along the way to make it happen.

END IN WHY NOT

Take action after you plan has been chosen. Do not let others discourage you and give you reasons why it will not work. Only take advice from those who want to inspire you and give you motivation to be successful.

Your ultimate decision to choose 

WHY AND WHY NOT

will determine your life's destiny.

TAKE TIME TO LISTEN

Everyone seems to be too busy these days to take the time to listen to someone who wants to speak to you face to face.

People are on their cell phones, or texting, or reading emails, or thinking what is on their schedule to listen to the person in front of them or the people around them.

The real communication process seems to have been lost in an age of high tech devices.

If you take the time to listen when someone wants to speak to you and not be distracted, you might just learn something that might change your life.

There is something that happens face to face that cannot be

communicated by any other means.

The feelings and emotions expressed when people speak and listen face to face.

I guess some people want to hide their true identity by using mechanical devices, and not reveal their true self to others.

I hope everyone realizes before it is too late, what real communication and connecting with people is.

The next time someone wants to speak to you, please do not speak, stop what you are doing, and listen.

It could be the life changing moment of your life.

DECISIONS BASED ON VALUE AND NOT COST

People seem to make decisions based on their monetary cost.

They forget that all decisions have two things to consider.

There is a big difference between cost and value, and value should be the main consideration.

Value will be more rewarding than cost in all decisions you make in life.

If your primary focus in on cost instead of value, you final decision might be the wrong choice.

People seem to ask what is the cost, instead of what is the value to me and to others.

You can not put a cost on every value in life.

For example does a kiss, a hug, or a smile have a monetary cost ?

They all have a tremendous value in your life, if you make the decision to do it.

If you would ask yourself what is the cost, you probably would not do it in the first place.

You would then be missing some of life's more wonderful moments.

Does words of praise or encouragement to others have a monetary cost?

So why are your asking the same questions about cost in every decision in your life ?

You should be asking what value will this decision be based on others and on me.

It could be the most important and life changing choice you make in determining your future.

Value will win over cost in every decision you make.

You just have to change you way of thinking and viewing the world.

Not only you but others in your world will benefit.

BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS OF VIRGINIA

I discovered the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia many years ago when I moved from Illinois.

I was looking for that special place and experience that would fulfill my life and destiny.

I found it here near Roanoke and Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia.

I think the first thing that attracted me here was the beautiful and amazing natural countryside. 

If you are a true lover of nature, the Blue Ridge mountains are the perfect place to be.

The second thing that impressed me were the people who chose to live and work here.

They are some of the most friendly people and the nicest people I have ever met.

The Blue Ridge seems to have this attractive atmosphere that brings people together.

They say the slogan is "Virginia is for Lovers" , and they could not have said it any better than that.

The only other thing I could say is that the Blue Ridge mountains are next to "heaven on earth".

If you come see the mountains,the lakes, and meet the people, you will discover what I am talking about.

Nature could not have been created any better than this.

I discovered the perfect place on earth to live my life.

Once you experience the Blue Ridge mountains, there will be no turning back.

It is above and beyond anything you have ever experienced before, and will ever experience again.

Your senses will be alive again, your life will have more purpose and meaning, and your destiny fulfilled.

The Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia does have an ever lasting effect on you for life.

TRAVEL TO ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLEST

The world is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

It was meant to be visited and enjoyed by everyone.

Any one who has ever traveled realizes that it was put here for a purpose in our life.

The travel experience gives us a sense of meaning and understanding that nothing else does.

The sad fact is that many people do not take the time or effort to travel.

They make excuses for not traveling to see the many wonders of the world around them.

For those of us who choose to travel a new world of awakening and fulfillment comes that we thought impossible.

Travel does open our eyes, and we see not only the world, but other people differently in a new perspective.

Travel creates a new learning experience that was not taught in school.

Our senses are alive, and we are refreshed and enlightened for life again.

The true travel experience in visiting worlds unknown to us before, now are meaningful and are apart of our life's destiny.

Make a effort today to change your way of thinking about travel.

Travel opens new possibilities for your growth and development as a human being.

Travel might be that one element that changes you , and helps you enjoy your life to the fullest.

You see the world and travel does play an important part if you only make an effort to discover it.

YOUR JOURNEY IN LIFE

Everyone has the options to think and choose a journey for their life.

A journey is only the beginning and never an end until death.

I believe that other people who have made the journey before can be an inspirations and source of knowledge to those who are younger, and who have only begun to take the first steps on their journey.

The journey started first with your parents you gave you life and nourishment and direction.

The journey continued with your teachers in school who helped you gain knowledge and move forward in life.

The journey continues each day of your life with the people you meet and the friends who motivate and inspire you to your greatest achievements in your life.

Always accept the wisdom of others who have followed the journey before you , and the knowledge they want to share with you.

The rewards of their wisdom will help you make wise choices for your journey in life.

FEAR - CHALLENGES - REWARDS

We all experience life in different ways. This is a result of the choices we make and the decisions that follow.

Sometimes the results may not have turned out the way we thought they should have, but we must deal with them no matter if they were good or bad.

The true rewards in life are given to those who face their fears and overcome their challenges.

They are given to each of us for a reason. 

To help us learn and gain knowledge, make better decisions, and move forward.

Some people try to avoid fears and challenges in their life, because they want to be safe and secure. They do not want to put themselves in danger.

While danger might be something one might consider, most of the fears in life are not really dangers at all.

They are only in the mind of the individual.

If you are willing to accept life's fears and challenges and overcome them, you will in the end

receive some of the best rewards life has to offer you.

Life is not about accepting the negatives, but turning the negatives into positives and moving forward.

The next time you fear something or a challenge comes along you think you can not overcome,

remember it is offering you a reward in the end,

accept it, live and deal with it, and conquer it.

You will be thankful later you make the right decision.

The reward in your life might just be the best thing

that ever happened to you.
