We need to submit to education, laws and physical needs. Many of us give up our waking hours and energy, to the direction of others, in exchange for our financial security. The reality is, the more motivated, skilled and clear (MCS) we are on what we want in life, then the more deserved we shall be, to be the one doing the driving of our own life. HOW TO CLAIM MORE "HAMMER TIME!"The best way is to...deserve it.If you want to achieve the goals, targets or dreams you desire to then you need to be spending most of your time as a hammer! Some days it is hard to tell the difference, A quick way to work out your hammer or nail status is to every day, through ought the day to ask yourself these 3 questions.

From current personal experience I can tell you this is no fun, give yourself an uppercut and snap out of it! (I am in this process) Nobody really likes to be around "frantic reactors" for too long. You burn yourself out and you are not functioning anywhere near your best. If your like me at present, you are overweight, short tempered and look like the bottom of the budgie cage after a long week. ACTION STEP> ....share this newsletter with somebody, take a few full body, and face shots of yourselves.Then on your own, have a non deluded look at your photos. Next, ask yourself the above 3 questions. Then call a Dr., call a fitness consultant, call a coach, book in to a health retreat for a week, call your partner, your kids, your mum and dad, tell them you love them, but don't call me unless it is for engagements in 2004. In between my last 2003 commitments, I am going to lose some weight, write a book a be nicer to my family. If you have given up 5 minutes of your life to read this, make it count for something. Do what ever you need to do to get clear and re-energise your life so you can smilingly deserve and achieve a life that means something! For more details, please visit www.MotivationWorldWide.com.
