OBSESSION, Why It Is Good For You And How To Use It To Your Advantage



Most of us have heard the clinical expression "OCD" (Obsessive

Compulsive Disorder) which as Wikipedia explains it: "is a

mental disorder characterized by "intrusive thoughts" that

produce anxiety, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing

anxiety, or by combinations of such thoughts (obsessions) and

behaviors or compulsions".

However, what if I tell you that Obsession, in and of itself,

can actually be good to your health and wealth! Yes, it can, and

this is why. (I'll tell you the "how" along the way)

Do you remember having a song in your head that you just

couldn't get rid of it, then you walk into a store, and low and

behold, the same song is playing? - Or, how about that constant

thought that doesn't seem to want to leave you alone, and when

you wake up in the morning, there it is again, and you wonder,

what the heck?

I'm here to tell you that you're not crazy, you're just being

brilliant and don't know it yet. You have a passion for

something that continues to show-up as a constant melody or a

perennial thought which your subconscious really, and I mean

really, wants you to do something about it!

It's one of your many passions showing up in a very determined

way telling you, "Do something with me, I'm on fire and need to

be self-expressed!" - And because passion with action is what

truly monetizes what you do, who you are, who you serve, and who

you work with, it's the reason why, obsession is a very good and

healthy thing for you to have. Yes, your passion becomes

obsessed with the thought of "acting upon itself", and this in

turn, helps you capitalize on it. Beautiful, isn't it?

The more passionate you are about something, the more likely you

are to be obsessed about what you love to do, why you're doing

it, and who you want to do it for and with. The results are

always amazing. Imagine that you're passionate about fulfilling

a dream and all of the sudden, you are so focused, you actually

become obsessed about attain it? You will create a beautiful

Master piece! - So you see, your "healthy" obsession, meaning,

your passion becoming obsessed about self-expression, drives you

to create a business and a life that is exquisitely by design

and not by default.

Six easy steps to "Healthy Obsession":

. Acknowledge situations that prompt you to act upon something

almost impulsively, and without reason. Ask yourself: Why do I

want to do this? Allow "passion" to show its color by letting

you see the "what" and the "why."

. Pay attention to the ideas that seem to come out of nowhere

and yet, you know deep down that they not only sound great to

you but you have a strong sense that there's something awesome

you can do with them.

. Write them down. I know it sounds simplistic, but you want to

make sure you capture them, don't let them get away. Anything

that it's not on paper, have a high rate of not coming to

fruition.

. Get a "Passion-Obsession" calendar. Keep track of all the

happenings that are clearly in direct connection to this

treasure chest that you have just found. You see, it is no

longer a map; it is now your "treasure" and you can duplicate

and multiply this fortune many times over with the right tools

and people by your side. Use the calendar as a guide to help you

get things done. Schedule your passions and your obsessions to

monetize all of your ideas. Trust me, it works like a charm.

. Acknowledge loud and clear what your passions are telling you.

Honor them by understanding that it is a healthy thing for them

to want to become self-expressed, because they have their best

interest at heart, and that is YOU!

. Hire a coach, a mentor, a trusted-advisor to help you turn

your many passions and obsessions into a wonderful, financially

rewarding reality. The time to act is now. When you do, your

money bucket will fill-up like you've never seen before and all

your efforts will be deeply rewarded speedily, rapidly and

immediately. Yes, we are a NOW generation!

Using youtube disadvantages? - Youtube embedded players play instantly. Good. However, if you use a youtube embedded player on your business website and click it twice, it takes you away from your site and on to youtube's where a prospective buyer can wander endlessly and perhaps never return. Good or bad? Does anyone know how to alter the html so that it plays only and doesn't link to youtube?
