How I did it
How to let my tough side come back
It took me
30 days
It made me
wanna hang with me?

How I did it: I attempted to harden my persona, my heart and guard my "feelings" by not letting others opinions, words, actions or lifestyle have anything to do with mine. That gets lonely, boring, draining and leads nowhere.  The camaraderie you may have had with another will never come to life if you keep others away from you. You don't have to become influenced or even attempt to be anothers "teache… Read how I did it…

How to start exercising at home if im too much of a baby (or broke) to get to the gym!
It took me
800 days
It made me
im ready...

How I did it: Shopped around and eventually joined a gym.Listen to this....ITS FREE!! I may be lucky, I may be due, I may be blessed I may be all the above. I recently started attending my Church on a regular basis and started to get to know a couple people and going to a weekly bible study.There is a huge building near my Church called The Gathering Place. I heard it was sort of a community center that cost money. I asked the Pastor abo… Read how I did it…

How to create a 5 year plan
It took me
8 years
It made me
proud of myself

How I did it: I've seen the movie The Secret, and a few other movies about the power of envisioning your future or the Law of Attraction.I wrote my lists, worked on my areas that needed improvement, looked to the future and I came to ONE CONCLUSION....When you find yourself thinking that "the grass is greener on the other (or any other) side" throw that idea OUT THE WINDOW and plant seeds where you stand so that YOUR GRASS IS GREEN right here… Read how I did it…

#91 Paying bills on time

The most sure path to financial freedom is to keep your bills low by staying on top of your usage in things like electricity, gas, grocery consumption, etc.

Nothing feels better than to meet your needs with products and services and to be able to pay those bills on time.

Not paying your bills from services and things you need like phone, transportation and living costs keeps one constantly living in fear. Fear that you will get evicted, fear that you will have your car repossessed, fear that you are not truly a man expanding his abilities and reaching your potential.

Nobody should have to live in fear. So you learn to live beneath your means when your financial picture is not strong, and when you have steady income you budget, plan, adjust, minimize, and pay things on time. Period

Track how I spend my Time: Plan My Success (read all 4 entries…)
This may seem odd but...

I have read about a dozen articles on how to maximize my chances of winning the lottery LOL~!! I have never played before so I didn’t know how to play, or what numbers were in the possibilities. I did my research, as I do on any topic that interests me and since the Lottery is up to 600 million I figured “you gotta be in it to win it” so I read up on it, watched some videos and read every FAQ on the Lottery website. I have a good understanding of the game and my own personal strategy now :)

I will get 2 tickets because that’s pretty much all I can afford and If I win GREAT, If I don’t then it was fun to try and I will get back to more “sure bets” in life, such as hard work, fortitude, positivism and follow-through.

However….WISH ME LUCK!! I could be half-way to becoming a billionaire by 11pm eastern time :D

1. FINANCES 2. FINANCIAL STRENGTH 3. FINANCIAL FREEDOM 4. FINANCIALLY SOUND 5. FUNDING FOR LIFE

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/5-better-investments-than-the-lottery-182440502.html

While these 5 investments should be a staple in all of our financial diets…I’m still buying a lottery ticket for the first time because its OVER HALF A BILLION DOLLARS in tomorrows drawing!!

Dear God,
If you bless me with the winning numbers on my ticket for tomorrows drawing I pledge half the winnings to anything you ask me to do for my fellow cohabitants of this Earth, both human, animal and nature for the rest of my life.
Sincerely,
your broke son Derrick
