Your Limit

Written by: Michael Duckett

Article Overview: You don't have a limit in regards to how big you can get in life or business--you decide. To upgrade your life and business to the next level, you'll need to discover the "have, do, and be formula" for success. Most people have this backwards and that's what causes confusion and big problems. You're going to love this simple but profound concept.

Your Limit

Your Limit

It isn't that most people set too high of a goal and fail, it's much more common for people to set too low of goals and succeed. I'm sure this is not the first time this thought has been conveyed to others but it may be the first time you actually "felt" what it meant.

Contrary to popular belief, all of us are able to choose what level of life we are currently playing at. It just amazes me how many people choose to play a small game when they desire something bigger.

The confusing part of it all is how most people will think the process to living a more prosperous and successful life is to identify what they want to "be" in the end. Next, they think they will create the steps on what to "do" to become this person. Finally, they concentrate on what they want to have. Let me tell you, this is completely backwards.

The real process to greater success in anything is to identify what you want to "have," followed by what you must "do" to create it, and finally, what will you "be" after you possess your desired "have."

If you were to question a champion in anything, sports, acting, business, finance, etc., they will tell you their first step in the process of success was to focus on the results they desired. Think of results as what you want to have. Complete this sentence, "My primary objective is to have...." Whatever you write are the results. Results are the end product of what you desire to possess or achieve and they are quite different than goals.

Goals are used to achieve the results but if you don't have a clear picture of the results you desire, you won't be able to create sound goals. Another way to think of goals is to think of them as what you will "do" to create your results. You want to realize your goals and actions of today are creating your tomorrow-good or bad.

If you are doing constructive positive things toward achieving your results, you will eventually be accomplished. If you are doing things that are not in line with your results, you will NEVER reach your desired results. At the end of your journey toward your results, you will become something. That is the final expression of yourself for having followed through with your goals to accomplish your results.

What will you allow your life to be?

Will you throw it in the wind and wonder how it will turn out, or will you "causatively" take the right action, combined with the right attitude, to decide what you want to have, do, and be?

Keep in mind, problems will surface at all levels of life. If you're playing a small game, you'll have problems. If you're playing a big game, you'll have problems. If problems will exist at any level of life, why not take the "high road" and live a bigger game. Live to your real potential and experience a totally different existence.

When we think we've reached our max in anything, good or bad, the next moment shows us we still have plenty of room to grow.

So we end another "Five Minute Mental Break." I trust it was worth your five minutes and ask you to pass it on to others you care about and could benefit from the writing. Until next time, I am

In Loving Service,

Dr. Michael J. Duckett

Re: Quick Ways To Utilize SEO Effectively - 1. If you dont want too much competition from other SEO's, choose your keywords precisely.For example, Instead of keyword Loan choose keywords like Bank Loan, Equity Loan, Student Loan, Home Loan etc. Order of keyword also matter for search engines. Search engine treats ?Loan Equity? and ?Equity Loan? as different keywords. 2. Best seo practice is to get at least one of your primary keywords in domain or sub domain name of your website. You can use hyphens (-) to separate multiple keywords. For example: seo-service, seo-guidelines, free-seo each cover two keywords. 3. Get your second or third keywords in your directory name and filename. 4. Keep your webpage free from any syntax error, declare document type at the beginning and validate your HTML and CSS because search engine don?t like pages with too many errors. 5. Give a short Title in of your page in 3-9 words (60-80 characters) maximum in length containing your primary keyword. Remember it will be displayed in search results so choose wisely. 6. Try to include your most important keyword phrases in heading tags on your page if you can but keep in mind it should not be exactly same as title of your page. You can use (H1 H2 H3) tag for specifying anything important. To reduce size of heading use CSS. 7. Specify Meta keywords in heading of document. Limit it to 15 to 20 words. Although not all the search engines give importance but there is no harm doing it. Search engine like Yahoo still give it importance. 8. Write Your Meta Description tag attractive containing keywords because it will appear on the search engine result pages. 9. Use text for navigation menu instead of using images or Java scripts. 10. Try to include your most important keyword in hyper linked text and text and text that immediately precedes or follows the hyperlink. Do not use same keyword always use synonyms at few places. Just like instead of seo, I have use search engine optimization at many places on this page.
