Four Questions For You by Cliff Townsend

I wrote a blog post a while back, and it got me thinking about something that I read from Jim Rohn many years ago. It was called four questions to ponder. The post that I wrote was called WHY NOT YOU which is actually one of the questions that Jim Rohn asked.
Here are the four questions. (1) WHY (2) WHY NOT (3) WHY NOT YOU (4) WHY NOT NOW.
Those are the four questions that I actually want to talk about, and the reason is becasue I realize that the start is what stops most people, and these questions should give us the answers.

Why...why do anything out of the ordinary? why go back to school to further your education? why join a network marketing company? why take the risk and start that business? Why spend time reading motivational books and going to seminars? why join a gym or join a running group? why should you change your environment? why should you want to get rich?

Why Not...why not do something extra-ordinary ? why not go back to school and learn something new so that you can improve your life for you and your family? why not join a network marketing organization and create a new outlook for your future while helping others? why not turn that idea that you've had so long into a business? why not read motivational books, and go to seminars where you will hear people tell you that you can be anything you want to be, and to tell you if I can do then guess what so can you? why not join a gym or start working on buiding your best body? why not get rich so that you not only change your life, but the lives of the people that you love and care about?
Why Not You...Like I talked about in my post a while back, everyday in cities across the world people are creating the lives of their dreams. Everyday people are becoming millionaires,people are choosing to live healthier lifestyles, people are starting their businesses, people are going back to school, people are graduating from law school or med school or beauty school, and like I said in my post it doesn't matter whether you do it or not, because the people who choose to make a difference in the world, they're gonna do it anyway. Just like I tell my son, life goes on with or without you,every minute someone dies, and every minute a baby is born. People from all walks of life are making a decision to live their dream life, so once again the million dollar question is...why not you?

Why Not Now...I can hear it now. I will start when...when never comes, because there's always something. There is no better time than now, because now is the only time that we have. None of us is guaranteed tomorrow, we're not guaranteed the next five minutes, so why not do it now. The first thing that we need to do is to make a committment to ourselves that we will devote the time and effort to develop our Mindset. In order to reach new heights in our personal or professional life we must grow, we must learn something new in order to achieve something that we've never achieved before. Are you going to decide to improve or will you decide to stay the same? and yes deciding to stay the same is a decision, and it's a decision that's being made right now. The decision about who or what we will become is made in every action, every decision,every moment of every day someone somewhere decides to take that first step, so WHY NOT YOU and WHY NOT NOW? 

I said in the beginning of this article that the start is what stops most people, so i'm going to give you three things to do to get you started on your way, and here they are.

(1) Make a commitment to develop your mindset. What you've achieved so far has gotten you this far, and it has no bearing on the future. That decision is made not by doing something physical, but simply by deciding right now that it's time for a change.
(2) Develop a plan. It doesn't have to be as intricate as solving the debt crisis or anything like that. It can be something as simple as reading a chapter a day, walking a mile a day or a mile a week. Develop a plan with achievable and measurable goals, because if it's too complicated you will quit like most people.
(3)Take Action. Action Changes Things. You can read all the books in the world, and have the most intricate plan to achieve your dreams,have it all planned out in theory, but unless you ACT on those plans they are useless. People with great ideas are a dime a dozen, people who act on their ideas are a select few.
Listen I know this change thing is not easy, it's a continuos journey that i'm on, and it's going to be a continous journey for you too, so if you ever feel overwhelmed, don't know where to turn, feeling down in the dumps,reach out to me that's why i'm here.
