Mental Edge - First Article
In my 37 years on this planet, I have come to believe that every human is invaluable and irreplaceable. The Mental Edge will be my permanent column in Revolution Mag to help you realize unlimited choice in any action undertaken. Through exercising the power of choice you can attain the mental, financial, physical, and spiritual wealth available to every human being on earth. I want you to understand that you can eliminate needless hardship that derives from ineffective strategies and beliefs. I am committed to helping you discover the power of excelling and understanding the steps taken to produce it!
In a recent speech, I shared with my audience that the most powerful force on earth (outside of God Himself) is the power of the human spirit. Call it what you want; the human spirit, the human will, what ever you're comfortable with, but there is an often untapped source of inner strength that few people ever know is even there. A gentleman in the front row challenged me to explain how the human spirit was a greater force than nuclear power. I simply reminded him that nuclear power was created by the human spirit. Unfortunately, though, the human spirit without action is dead. The only way to access your core inner strength is to make certain choices and take action on those choices. A choice is not a true choice until action flows from it.
It's easy to be a dreamer and a talker. The world is full of dreamers and talkers spinning in place. I'm the world's biggest dreamer, but only the dreams that I take action on ever come true. You heard the saying about talking the talk versus walking the walk. I'm challenging you to take the first step on the walk that will take you where you want to go. You've talked about it. You've dreamed about. The day you take action on your choice is the day you will discover the power of your own will. Is the choice to take action reserved for a select few? No!! It's burning inside your heart right now just waiting to show you how powerful it can be!
When I speak across the country I like to warn my audience of something. It's entertaining and motivational to hear a good speaker. I can feel the adrenaline rise in an auditorium as people reflect on what matters most to them in life. I can see their eyes come to life as they rekindle passions deep within. Many look like they want to run through a brick wall, but then they go back to work and home, the same stress and time-sapping pressures await them. When you agree with what I say and you know you have the power to change your life, you have to commit right now to take action when you leave the auditorium. You can't wait! We have wasted our time together if you don't carry this passion outside those doors.
I challenge you with the same fervor. I want you to make your life a masterpiece. You made a choice to buy this magazine and you took action in reading it. You are already on your way!! Thank you for taking that first step. You deserve the results that await you.
