Every Day is a Miracle


When we get up every morning I believe that we need to give thanks, for being able to wake; that alone is a gift. Now, what are we going to do with that gift? Well, most gifts are meant to give away so my question I ask myself is "What can I give today?"



Some may say that "I don't have anything to give" and that is not true. The least one can do is give a smile or compliment to another. Before you go about your day today, why not jot down a few "gifts" you'll give today and at the end of the day see how the gift(s) have been rewarded. I'm thinking that you day will be brighter when you have the intent of giving it away!

What can you give? Smiles, a cup of coffee, clothes you no longer wear, children's toys that are no longer used, cut some flowers from your yard and give to a neighbor, etc. etc.

Think so some ideas and leave your comments below.

Make it a great day! Ter Scott!

2,000 Year Old Formula Brings Prosperity Today

Here is a simple proven formula to have your needs met (and more). Follow this simple procedure and take note or your prosperity in your prosperity journal. (If you don’t yet have a journal, start one. Get a notebook and daily record your thoughts and record any positive changes in your prosperity). Most formulas in life are “simple” but not necessarily “easy”. Many times we make them “hard” with our unbelief, doing things our way, not continuing the task until completion, etc. With this formula, please (as the Nike slogan states) just do it and see the results!

The 2-step formula is this.
  1. Take a 3 x 5 card (or a piece of paper) and write:
“Give me this day my daily bread, and forgive my debts, as I also have forgiven my debtors”. I’m sure you've heard this before but you needn't give thought as to where, etc. For now; just stay with me.
  1. Next, number this card 1 – 21; this represents 21 days (it takes 21 days to create a habit).

You are now ready to use this formula that has been used for over 2000 years (but not quite in this “specific” way).

  1. Each day as you stretch and start your day, before you do anything at all; before you get out of bed, state: “Give me this day my daily bread, and forgive my debts, as I also have forgiven my debtors”.
  2. Cross out one of the numbers that represent the days 1 through 21.
  3. Make note in your prosperity journal any changes in your income, thoughts about prosperity; anything that you think is relevant.

While doing this every day, you'll come to "know" this phrase more thoroughly; asking questions and getting answers. After twenty-one days, look over your progress and I’m sure that you’ll see a positive change in your prosperity. You may have had money come to you from unexpectedly avenues, changed your thoughts about prosperity and how you do things with your money, and have realized positive healing in other areas of prosperity: peace of mind, harmony in your life, and physical health.

Now repeat this twenty one day process for the rest of your life.

Write your Eulogy and then Live Today to Make it a Reality!



Welcome to Article 5 of the 5 part series: Get Started toward Success

Let’s do a quick review of the first 4 steps and the assignments before we move on to this 5th (but not final) step to getting started toward success.

First we started by creating (defining) our own definition of success; we need to see the target that we are aiming at. Zig Ziglar used to tell us how he could make any of us a better marksman than the world’s best and he definitely could; but first he’d have to blindfold the marksman!

Secondly we talked about how we need to know ourselves and we wrote out our positive characteristics.

Thirdly we thought back on our past success which proves that we’ve already been successful which strongly indicates that we’ll be successful again.

And in our last time together, you listed your blessings. When you have an attitude of gratitude, and appreciate what you have, you can be trusted with more and get more. Think of it. If you are a father and your kids don’t show appreciation for their things, would you readily give them more? Usually not.

Plus, since you are a high achiever, you probably did the “extra credit” as we went along as well; good job! Now let’s move on to step 5: which is to create your perfect day; your day how you want it to be.

This has been hard for me in the past because I love my “work” and I thought my perfect day had to be the vision of lying around a pool with an umbrella drink. I do enjoy that but not for long; I have to be doing something to be truly happy. So for me, I have both a “perfect work day” and a “perfect off day”.

Take a sheet of paper and divide it into hours. If you love to sleep in, start your hours later in the day. If you are an early riser, start your hourly record early and go to bed earlier; it’s your decision. It’s your day; design it the way you want! Here’s your chance to fantasize. Just know that your fantasy can come true, but go all out. What kind of car would you drive (or the person driving you) drive? Would you have your own jet to fly you to a lunch engagement across the country? What would you do at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., etc.? What would you eat for lunch, dinner, and snack? Here’s a chance to use the Major 8 ™ and list what you would have in each area of the 8.

Also, be sure to list all of your emotions with each hour so it is even more real. Here's a partial sample:

At 10 a.m. I get dressed in my nice Armani suit being sure to wear my favorite silk tie. Later I step out of my Lincoln limousine and feel the slight warm Florida breeze on my face and I can smell the freshly mowed grass just off the private runway. I see the sun glint off the tail of my Hawker jet. My mouth waters as I anticipate my lunch at my favorite dining destination atop a tall skyscraper in New York. I think of meeting some of my friends in this 5 star hotel and restaurant and my heart races just a bit.

After you’ve created your special day, go to the internet and find pictures of your day. Create a scrap book and title it, my special day! The more clear your vision is, the greater your chances are (and the faster) it will become reality!

Extra Credit: Some people may think that this assignment is morbid and focuses on death, etc. etc. but not so; it actually will make you live your life better! You may even want to spend much more time on this assignment than what I’m asking here because it really is an “eye opener” and a practical exercise.

One of the best ways to plan for anything is to “plan backward”. I do this when I’m going to be speaking somewhere. I visualize myself presenting and think about the things that I will be using and list them. I also figure what steps are required to get to that moment, and I create a check list.

Here’s your extra credit assignment. Write out your eulogy. Include all of the things that you’ve accomplished in your life and how you are now such a success in all of the areas of the Major 8 ™. Since that is somewhere in the future, “plan backward” and write your goals with the necessary steps to accomplish all of those great things that people are saying about you after you’ve gone! Here’s the wonderful serendipity. Because you’ve done this “assignment” now, people can be saying this about you now, and you can be living it now!

…………………………………………….

Are you the high achiever that I’ve thought that you are as we’ve come through these 5 steps together? Say yes! Well then, I have a special treat for you; it’s a “Final Exam”; well not really but it’s extra, extra credit!

Take each of these 5 steps and do them within each area of the Major 8. 

For instance, the first of the Major 8 (you can see all of them at the top of the page at: www.attainmentrules.blogspot.com) is: “Good Health”. Step one is to create your definition of success, now do so in attaining and maintaining good health. Step two is listing your good qualities having to do with “good health”. Third, list areas where you’ve been successful with having good health in the past. Fourth, list how you are blessed in the area of health. And last, ask what would your perfect day look like, having to do in the area of health? Now repeat using this first step with the enjoyment of food, and so on with the rest of the Major 8 ™. After doing this with step 1, go on to the other four steps and apply the Major 8 ™ areas. This may take some time, but it will give more clarity to your future vision.

When you have accomplished this “final”, let me know at www.terscott.com/contact and I will email you a handsome Certificate of Completion (at no charge) that you can print and frame!
