(Resolve To Succeed)Watching the fireworks on the Homosassa River with Yvonne this evening really brought home a lot of good feelings. One of those is the feeling that I can enjoy life without being wealthy.

Wealth is one of those nebulous concepts that is really just a state of mind. I am living comfortably right now. I am catching up with the bills. I have enough spare time to do the things I like to do.

But am I complacent? Far from it. I still want to be able to take care of my own grandchildren when they finally arrive and also be there for Yvonne’s grandkids. To me that is the reason I do what I do. Sometimes I fool myself into believing it is for some noble cause or for a trinket I can park in my driveway, but at the end of my life, I want to be able to say that my grandkids were able to survive because I was there to help.

The fireworks were very beautiful, but the view was obstructed on the bank of the river where we were situated. A gnarly old oak tree towered over the Riverfront Crab House and partially blocked the fireworks. But we could see enough of them to still be thrilled with the beauty and excitement of the exploding shells, the dancing colored lights in the sky and the sparkles that descended from the heavens after every large explosion.

The tree itself lent a timeless dignity to the fireworks show. The years had obviously worked over that tree, with its branches divided into two arms that appeared to be pointing toward the waning full moon and the view across the river. The Spanish moss draped over all of the branches and flowing out from the clusters of leaves gave that tree a wise, stately appearance as it experienced the fireworks with us once more.

How many fireworks had this tree presided over in its lifetime? Had it watched the early inhabitants of the Homosassa area first fish there on the river? When the docks were built over the years, did it wonder if it was going to end up as the wood that made up the dock? How many hundreds of children attempted to climb up its thick trunk to reach the wide platform made by the spreading out of its main branches?

The fireworks, instead of being partially blocked by this tree, suddenly became enhanced by the history that came pouring into my mind as I realized that I was seeing my first fireworks at this location, but that this tree had witnessed hundreds before me. With that realization came a shooting star across the sky. It cut an arc straight into the midst of the exploding shells and sparkling streaks of light.

God was pointing out how perfect my life is. For me.

What I go through on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis is not necessarily controlled by me. The only control I have is how I react to and work with the things that happen to and around me. And I would not have it any other way! I want to be like that oak tree… No matter what storms pass through, I am going to enjoy my time here on this earth and make it the most pleasant I can for those around me.

Of course I am still striving to achieve more. I might as well give up and die if I had nothing else to live for… life is not about just letting things happen. We have to make things happen, make our breaks and make our own luck by stacking the deck in our favor. The dealer pulls the cards off the top of the deck and we make the hands. The idea is to do the things that increase our chances of achieving our goals.

If you are looking to enhance your life, but have not yet figured out where you are really going, you are not alone. Hundreds of thousands of marketers (new and seasoned) are flailing about in a boat without a rudder. They have no vision of where they are going and the results of their efforts show it. Often that is because they haven’t the first idea of what they should be doing next.  If you have something in mind for your future, leave it as a comment. Let me (and the rest of the world) know what it is that you are working for.

If you don’t know… leave a comment, too. I will choose one person at random to work with one on one to help you figure out what it is that would motivate you like nothing else. So that is it, the challenge is set. Light the fuse and get ready to see some sparks a flying!

A couple years back, James Yii released The Shortcut. It was a mind-control system that enhances your productivity aimed specifically for internet marketers.

The course sold out and James… well James vanished. He disappeared back into his underground super affiliate’s lair to craft a comprehensive blueprint of the fastest,
easiest cash generating methods online.

You see, James is an ex-engineer and like all of these anal-retentive types, he’s obsesses with tracking and documenting everything he does to make money on the internet.

This is good news for you and I.

It’s his attention to detail that’s created the unique blueprint you’re about to get your hands on. Now, I’ve been through the course already. Frankly, you’ve never been anything like this.

If you’ve struggled to make any money or you just want a quick cash injection TODAY…
