Streamlining your path to success

 
In this world where there is a high demand for people’s time and energy, some may find it difficult to focus on the aspects of life that matter. Often times, people say that the most important things in life are family, their spiritual walk, money, etc. However, their actions rarely line up with these beliefs. I have found that simply matching one’s belief with their actions provides abundance of success in all areas of my life. Several ways one can match their belief with their actions are to (1) meditate on desired goals; (2) create goals; and (3) reward yourself or those around you after completing those goals.

 
Meditating on your goals simply involves sitting still (literally) and thinking about where you want your life to be for about five minutes a day. Some call this a form of prayer. However, I think prayer is a little different as it is a conversation between you and God where He does the talking. One can incorporate meditation into prayer. Next, creating a goal to better familiarize yourself with your beliefs on a daily or weekly basis. Streamlining your path to success is about exerting the maximum amount of energy and focus upon the areas of life that you feel are most important to you and those around you. Setting smalls steps and eventually goals to become closer to becoming the person you want to be is the epitome of streamlining your success. Also, rewarding yourself encourages you to set and complete more goals. This is where a lot of people find the enjoyment in becoming a better person. I have found that my enjoyment comes in checking off the ‘to-do’s’ and looking back to see how far I have come in a short period of time.
 
All in all, it is important to streamline and become more efficient in being successful. Tony Robbins talks about RPM:  “The first step toward taking back your focus and achieving the realization of your vision is to ask yourself three questions in a specific sequence on a consistent basis, the RPM system. Although RPM stands for the Rapid Planning Method, you can also think of it as a Results-oriented/Purpose-driven/Massive Action Plan.” (https://www.tonyrobbins.com/pdfs/Workbook-Time-of-your-Life.pdf). I think he hit it on the head in regards to focusing your energy and time upon your beliefs. This is one of the keys in making success more efficient and second-nature for you.

How to handle your divorce?

Going through a divorce is never an easy process to initiate. I’ve been through one. You make a vow to stick with someone for the rest of your life. And then all of sudden, you find yourself arguing everyday and totally loathing the presence of the person.  So I’m writing this blog post to hopefully help others who are thinking about going through this process; or those who have started the process already.   I handle a few divorce cases and I’ve learned prearranged agreement is always better. I think too many times spouses are wanting to get the most out of a divorce. But, in the process they drain their personal finances. People see a lot of high-net-worth individuals on social media and television getting divorces. You see the ridiculous amounts of money for child support and alimony.  However, in everyday life, people don’t have access to millions of dollars and multibillion dollar companies.  With that being said, my encouragement a lawyer is to make sure you to work out an agreem

Forgive yourself. Allow yourself to succeed.

From Will Smith's fourth single "Just the two of Us" A great actor, motivator and lyricist:  Will Smith As I’ve been pondering about my life, my travels and the people I’ve met, I realized that I made a lot of bad choices and/or mistakes. However, I think what has allowed me to succeed in spite of my downfalls is the ability to look towards the future and forgive myself. There is no way to ‘right’ your every ‘wrong’:  (1) it could be very time consuming; and (2) it takes you away from the things you could be doing in the present. A major reason for people not succeeding in their own desired capacities is because they are either stuck in the past or living in the future. On one hand, you want to remember the past and learn from your mistakes. On the other hand, you want to have goals and continuously strive to meet those goals. As a person who has done both and some time struggle to balance those behaviors, it is extremely important to be well balanc

Criminal Charges and Mental Health

One of the increases legal issues that I see in present day society is the increased rate of arrest with people who have mental illness.   You might have heard of Matthew Rushin, a 22-year-old who was arrested for hit and run motor vehicle accident in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He was diagnosed with a mental illness and acquitted of the charges. But, just think about the use of taxpayers' money for the arrest, imprisoning of Rushin, and district attorney time for trying the case.  This post isn’t about money, but more so on how to deal with law enforcement and the court system with someone who has mental illness. One of the issues you must understand when it come to this is that not everyone is a psychologist and/or psychiatrist. You will have to do the educating of the law enforcement agency, the prosecutor, and the judge.   Too many times, individuals think that everyone has the same level of knowledge about mental illness, let alone a specific one.   If you or a love is detained
