The interior's architecture must be changed first and foremost before
exterior's beauty can begin to shine.
That's why, if I dump a million dollars on your doorstep and you have never handled a million dollars in your life before, statistics tell us that million dollars will slip through your fingers in no time fast.
So what do you do?
Become, as Robert Kiyosaki so eloquently shares, 'financially literate.'
To be successful you must first think successful thoughts.
To win you must first think winning thoughts.
The battleground is found within your mind and it is there that battle must be waged.
Positive thoughts injected into your life on a consistent basis, backed by positive action, will lead to positive results.
That is one reason why I soak myself in biographies of great men and women who have lived and are still living.
That is why I am always reading half a dozen books all at once and a few extra on side.
That is why I read with pencil in hand and notebook at ready waiting to capture that thought that will leap from page and be imbedded in my mind. This is so that not only I am benefited but that those who read my writings receive 'best of best'.
Read as a student, always at ready to pluck a nugget of gold from within dusty pages of a volume you have uncovered. Riches untold will not stay away from your door.

2. PRESERVE THE SAME DOMINATING PURPOSE
What births passion?
What produces drive?
What steers creative workmanship?
What forces courage to rise from within?
Winston Churchill was a man driven by destiny. He had an insatiable appetite for hard work and for learning. Whether it was politics, painting, writing, journalism, bricklaying or any other pursuit, he was gleaning from others, reading and studying, and with that 'fill of information' he would forge his way ahead into unknown with confidence that nothing was impossible to him.
Did he always get it right? Was he infallible? No. His life was filled with flaws and he committed reprehensible errors that not only impacted his life but even destroyed lives of many others along way.
And yet, he would rise up and above 'the black dog' that often overwhelmed him, left errors committed behind him and pushed on ahead unrelentlessly.
And that is what it takes if you are going to preserve same dominating purpose throughout your lifetime.
Winston never forgot this, even when he was in political wilderness that lasted ten years before being called upon to lead his nation against Hitler.
With this example as our guide, each of us need to ask ourselves:
What is my dominating purpose?
That's right.
If I was to ask you to give me in one sentence what is your dominating purpose is, could you answer me?
It is an important question, that any human being, who wants to not only exist on planet earth, but rather to contribute something of significance during their lifetime, needs to ask themselves until they find a satisfactory answer?
Some other ways of asking yourself same question are:
What is your passion?
What is your dream?
What is your burning desire?
What gets you more excited than anything else in this world?
Find answer to these questions and you will be at starting gates for fulfillment of your dominating purpose.
Don't waste another minute on planet earth without having this question settled in your mind once and for all.
You have been born for a purpose; a dominating purpose.
Motivational Memo for Week: A dominating purpose is pulsating heart of a successful life.
You can do it!
