You have POWER to plan your life, change your circumstances, and get organized, but it takes more then planning. You will need to take some action, make some tradeoffs, and possibly get professional help.

Getting Help: There are multitudes of people and organizations that can help you overcome your circumstances but it takes a little legwork.

You must be willing to: =>Seek out professionals whom can really help you and hold you accountable. =>Make call or send email. =>Pay price (and not just in money). =>Do homework. =>Make commitment to change. =>Invest in YOURSELF!

To me getting organized is not just getting rid of piles or stuff that has taken over your life. It's not about getting everything nice and neat. It's about life management, overcoming challenges, and changing energy of yourself and your environment to reflect lifestyle you REALLY want.

Time to Defeat your Bullies!

Ok, See if this story strikes a nerve. Everyday Ben had to walk home from school by railroad tracks. Several times a week a neighborhood bully would jump Ben and beat him up. He would scatter his school books and send him home crying.

Ben lived in a state of fear and self defeat. Something always has to happen to break pattern of defeat. The victory that is always within us will not show itself until we are ready.

Ben's teacher encouraged him to read some books about heroes and champions. Ben really got caught up in some of these books and started seeing himself as hero in books he was reading, even dreaming about it at night.

Some months later, Ben was walking same railroad tracks and saw bully dart behind a building. He stopped and started to run other way. Then he remembered hero in books he had read and started straight for bully.

It was a brutal fight. Ben started fighting with such determination that caught bully by surprise. All of a sudden bully had a bloody nose, and then a bloody mouth, and then bully started running.

After bully ran off, Ben realized he had a bloody nose and bruises all over his body. But he didn't realize it until after fight was over. It was worth it, it was a great day in Ben's life. In that day, he overcame fear, and self-defeat.

Ben was not physically stronger than he was last time he got whipped by bully. Then what was it? Nah………he wasn't kid that fell in sewer and caused that bully to run off holding his nose either. The difference came in Ben changing himself. He stood up in face of fear and decided he would no longer be pushed around by his bully.

Have you whipped your bully yet? What are your bullies? Have you thought about it? Or, do you just let yourself get all stressed out with nobody to choke?

Choke The Bully!!

Remember this, it is one thing to talk about bull fighting, it is another thing to get in ring with that bull. Well, I might get a fat lip. So What? The thing can't eat ya! Get in ring with that bull and say this so loud that every sand flea in West Texas can hear you; NO MORE!! I WILL NOT FEAR!
