The Good Life -- 5 Simple Steps by Miami PhillipsThere are many ways and means to accomplish whatever you want done. However, I have found that the most successful ways are so subtle and simple that they are usually overlooked. As I try to decide what projects to work on here at our horse farm, it is so very easy to become overwhelmed with the big picture. How can I build a barn that big? Where will all the money come from to pay for it? How do I clear 6 acres of land and turn it into...
•The Price of Ambition--How Much Fun You Can Have
The Price of Ambition--How Much Fun You Can Have by Miami PhillipsI am sore tonight! This soreness is all because of ambition!We decided that we wanted horses. You know, a horse farm, in the country, with rolling fields of deep green grass; a handsome barn, full of sweet smelling hay and shavings for the stalls. The barn would have a separate room for the well-oiled and well-worn saddles and tack so we could throw the saddle on and go for a ride whenever we desired.Of course, we would also...
•Today Could Be Your Last -- Act Like It !!
Today Could Be Your Last -- Act Like It !! by Miami PhillipsOne thing is absolutely for sure in this life. You are not going to make it out alive! If we say we will make it 75 years as an average (a guess on my part), then you can count how many springs you have left. For me, this spring means I have 28 more springs to enjoy! How about you?Sometimes we can get so caught up in working and worrying about tomorrow that we forget to enjoy today. I mean enjoy today like there will be no tomorrow!...
•Give A Little -- Get A Lot
Give A Little -- Get A Lot by Miami PhillipsSomewhere along my path this year I understood the reasons behind giving for the first time. This isn’t the only reason, but for me it was a very powerful and eye opening reason.The lesson came from Neale Donald Walsh, in his last book of the Conversation With God series that he named Communion With God. I highly recommend the book by the way, even if you may not agree with all he says. In this book, Walsh says that since we are all one, when you...
•To Be or To Do -- That Is The Question
To Be or To Do -- That Is The Question by Miami PhillipsA reader wrote me this week saying she was lost, confused and was having difficulty finding out what she wanted to do with her life. Another similar email came the very next day. There seems to be a huge groundswell of people asking the same question… “What do I do with my life?”I would ask you this question…What would you BE in your life?Somehow, someway, you have to BE you first, then you DO what you love. To BE who you are sounds...
•5 Steps To A Great Life
5 Steps To A Great Life by Miami PhillipsHere are what I believe to be the five steps to creating the life you want. Of course, a five-step list to the perfect life has to be kind of short and requiring definition! However, these five are a great start!1. Have gratitude.Gratitude opens the door for all that follows. Have gratitude for where you are and how you got there. Give thanks for what you have and those around you. 2. AcceptanceCan you accept that you are where you are because of the...
•Resist Nothing -- What A Concept
Resist Nothing -- What A Concept by Miami PhillipsLast week, I listened to Thaddeus Golas’ The Lazyman’s Guide to Enlightenment. In it he explains his concept of “Resist Nothing”. I am very attracted to this concept.Then, (by coincidence?) I received an email the next day containing the following passage from Tao Te Ching (a 2500 year old work written by Lao-zi (Lao -tse)):"When we learn to work with our own Inner Nature, and with the natural laws operating around us, we reach the level of...
•Cricket In The Wall - Waiting and Hoping
Cricket In The Wall - Waiting and Hoping by Miami PhillipsThere is a cricket in my wall this morning! It is a very energetic cricket, continuously chirping to let me know he is there. The cricket has been at this now for hours. I wonder if he is tired! I also wonder if there are any other crickets in my wall! Knowing my two sons, it is highly likely that they brought the cricket inside and let it go. In that case that cricket can make all the noise it wants, and no other cricket will ever...
•Are You Faking It?
Are You Faking It?
by: Miami Phillips
I am beginning to wonder how many people are faking it?
How many if given the chance would change careers, partners, domiciles, and friends? What percentage are living a life by rote? It takes not a lot of thought for these people, everything just is.
Get up by an alarm because you have to. Get dressed in a certain type of clothes you might not otherwise wear, because that is what is called for where you spend most of your waking hours. Go do something...
•Hard to Change?
Hard to Change?
by: Miami Phillips
How many times in the past have you tried to change something about you?
Have you read an article discussing the benefits of time management and made a promise to your Self to follow the steps? Or, maybe the last seminar or teleclass you attended had some great ideas for changing your financial standing. Writing a book? Losing some weight? Self improvement?
How far did you get?
Don't worry, you are not alone. Most of us at one point or another decide to do...
•Where is the Time and Money?
Where is the Time and Money?
by: Miami Phillips
An informal survey (by me) over the last two weeks has revealed an interesting statistic.
I asked almost everybody I spoke to (even strangers) if they had enough time. If they had enough time I asked if they had enough money.
Most said they had neither enough time nor money. A few (very few) had time but no money. Even fewer had enough money.
Then I asked if they knew anyone who had enough time and money. One person could name three people,...
•Want Money? You Got It!
Want Money? You Got It!
by: Miami Phillips
Six out of six people who were asked to list their highest priority in life said, "I want money". Maybe not in those exact words, but that was the gist of the request. Understand, when you ask the Universe for something the Universe must help provide it. All six of these people are getting exactly what they asked for. They are 'wanting money'.
None of us really needs money. This is a fallacy. We have all we need; shelter, food and clothing. Most...
•Sell Yourself - Sell Anything!
Sell Yourself - Sell Anything!
by: Miami Phillips
Each of us sells every single day. We are all sales people. How well we sell directly affects our lifestyles, friendships, and family life.
Professional sales people spend their entire careers consciously selling products and services. They attend sales trainings and seminars. They listen to motivational tapes and CDs in the cars to stay optimistic in the face of the inevitable continuous stream of 'Nos' every salesperson hears daily....
•Four Steps To Make Your Day Dynamic!
Four Steps To Make Your Day Dynamic!
by: Miami Phillips
There are two ways to start your day. The first is to dive in; tackling whatever is in front of you. You might check your emails. This is an interesting beginning as it is always possible something fun and new came in since you last looked.
Next thing you know you are deeply involved, answering all your mail. Some messages require thought; others require action, either research, interaction with others, or decision making. It is...
•(P)Refer to Grow Your Business
(P)Refer to Grow Your Business
by: Miami Phillips
(Although this article is geared towards small business owners, the information is just as applicable to a similar personal situation, only the action is slightly different.)
Here is the scenario. You have begun your day at work. Your day is planned ahead, with the big challenges first. You want to finish these up, get them out of the way and take a little time off this afternoon for yourself. You deserve and need it to stay your best for...
•Fear the Future? Don't.
Fear the Future? Don't.
by: Miami Phillips
In one sense there are three parts of our lives. Past, present and future. How each of these is viewed has huge consequences.
The past:If one looks back at the past for anything other than experience, the past can paralyze today. Many times our memories of events, and results from those events will seem relevant to a situation we might be facing today when in reality today's situation is totally different. If we treat the current event like the...
•The Parthenon Principle
The Parthenon Principle
by: Miami Phillips
Have you seen a picture of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece? I will never forget walking up to the massive granite ruins. The size and power still remaining in a building constructed 2500 years ago is overwhelming!
Although the roof lies on the ground, in pieces, most of the columns that supported it are in place. There are a lot of columns!
I think of the Parthenon’s roof often. If its’ roof had not been supported by all those columns it never...
•The Future: Help is Available
The Future: Help is Available
by: Miami Phillips
How important do you believe it is to think about and visualize your future life?
How important would it be to you if your cab driver wandered all over town, never getting anywhere but using up all your money and time?
If you have no intention, or goal, one thing is absolutely sure. You will never get there.
Sure you will get somewhere, but where? In our busy lives it can be so difficult to find the time to do this planning. We spend so...
•Habits-What I Want for You!
Habits-What I Want for You!
by: Miami Phillips
Think for a moment about your Self. Is there something that you would like to have, somewhere you would like to go, or something you would like to do? What is holding you back? I can probably guess at the possible answers: "Not enough money." "Not enough time." "I couldn't do that!"
At the risk of going out on a limb, I am going to suggest that the only thing holding you back from doing what you would like … is you!
Every one of us was born...
•Gremlins! Time to Take Control
Gremlins! Time to Take Control
by: Miami Phillips
It is a wonder we can function at all. Each of us has multiple personality types all crying for attention. Most of us think one way, work another, and feel in a personality style different from either working or thinking styles! And you question why you are sometimes confused?
On top of all that, there is our ego to deal with. Our ego has a representative that might be considered a lobbyist. You know, those people that are always talking...
•What's Your Plan? Designing Your Future
What's Your Plan? Designing Your Future
by: Miami Phillips
So you have set your goals for the year. Congratulations!
I have come to believe most of us set our goals for incorrect reasons. We set goals for short term objectives. Most of these objectives concern materialistic wants: money, and physical things. Let's look at a slightly different approach.
Start with deciding what your life should be. Take some time to define your life five years from now. Here are some questions you might...
•How I Get Joy as a Value
How I Get Joy as a Value
by: Miami Phillips
*In the last couple of months, I have been fortunate to be able to share the troubles of others. Why fortunate? I believe that the ability to be very close to the pain and fears of others has allowed me to realize how utterly fantastic my life is.
*As with many of us, I am always able to find something that might not be going just as I would like, something I wish to be better, or different, or a whole other something. But as I watch others,...
•Resolutions? Try this!
Resolutions? Try this!
by: Miami Phillips
Several articles and newsletters with the message that New Year’s resolutions are a worthless exercise and a poorly disguised setup for failure have passed across my desk this last week, and the year before, and the year before that.
I do not believe in failure! There is always something good to be found in any learning experience. Besides, if we always succeeded at everything we did, we would not know we succeeded because there would be nothing...
•Second Thoughts? Think Again!
Second Thoughts? Think Again!
by: Miami Phillips
Life is perfect. If you have read these articles long enough, you have seen this written in several different forms and ways. There is even a series on it in one of my ebooks. Life is perfect is a way of living for me. If I understand that I have the ability to create my life by the actions I take, then I understand that both the life I live today and the life I will live tomorrow is perfect in that sense.
Except when it is not.

•Vocalized Goals + Action = Realized Dreams
Vocalized Goals + Action = Realized Dreams
by: Miami Phillips
WEEKLY WISDOM NEWSLETTER
Vocalized goals + Action=Realized dreams December 10, 2003
Do you have a dream? Is there something you want to do, to achieve, or to complete?
How close are you? How many people have you told about it? Do you have a written plan on how to get there?
And the most important question – Are you taking action?
This much is absolutely true: If you never vocalize your dreams, and you never come up with...
•Difficult Challenges? -- What If?
Difficult Challenges? -- What If?
by: Miami Phillips
Sometimes life can seem like one long series of unsolvable problems. I know there have been times when I would much rather find something else to do and quit whatever I was doing simply because it was too much trouble to continue. In fact, earlier in my life that is exactly what I did do. (And to tell the truth, I wouldn't change it even if I could!)
However, I think there comes a time in every one's life when we want a result. This...

Need Help? Look Within First
by: Miami Phillips
After eating a turkey and dressing sandwich for breakfast, I am raring to go! For those of you who wrote and asked where the article was last week, I appreciate the fact that you look for it! I apologize for missing it, and to make up for it I have posted on my website a web log and pictures of the barn raising party we had last week. Look for the link on the front page of www.creativemasterminds.com. Now for this week’s article. Need Help?...
