Freedom From “Oughts” and “Shoulds”

Hello and welcome to Happy Sunday. This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Our adventure today is , ” what keeps you from life in the moment”? With me it’s pressure- things I have to do, deadlines, duties, tasks. That’s why down time is so precious to me. Living in the moment is a lot easier when I not thinking about how I’m going to finish X,Y, Z. The tyranny of the oughts and shoulds can rob you of real joy.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/planning/

I truly think it’s possible to strip ourselves of the oughts and shoulds, It just takes deliberate effort. Sometimes I’ll say, Okay Michael, sit down and think about everything that’s hanging over your head and then prioritize it in the order in which it REALLY needs to get done.There’s something about having order in my head that makes the oughts and shoulds scream a little less loudly.

The second thing I do is to take the past and project it into the present. I remind myself,” It has worked in the past. Think about those times when you were just up against the wall and somehow you made it work. Don’t think about those times when it didn’t work. Think about those times it did work and ask, Is there any reason why that shouldn’t happen again? This is what I do over and over again, DAILY.

Yes, I really do a lot of self-talk. I call it going to my truck office. I have a two way conversation with me and myself. Luckily, being in my truck sitting up high, no one notices. Question DEAR READER, Are you held captive by your own oughts and shoulds? Food for thought, READER, maybe you should have your own two way conversation with you and yourself. Just saying!!! For me, I put the results before the LORD and ask for His wisdom and guidance in clarifying what’s truly important.

CHERISH THE MOMENT, I think the simple joys should be the little things, a cup of tea, not a bag and hot water, but, brewed loose- leaf tea, steeped for just the right amount of time. My daughter is the QUEEN of loose leaf tea. She has sat me down many a night, and said, ” let me fix you a special blend I think you will like. I love it. She has about 30-49 loose leaf teas on hand at any given time.

A good conversation with a person you hold dear. The time goes by so smoothly, you don’t even realize it has been 5 hours of talking. You just blend into one another. Sharing Ideas and thoughts. I love Talking To Rob. His wisdom in business is always right for me, See why. He shares with me what works and what doesn’t.

One of my simple joys is food. I love to cook. Looking up new recipes and trying them out. My favorite is my marinara sauce. It takes 2 full days to prepare. Everything fresh and cooked slowly. Here at the Lipsey house, we like the sauce thick. From the pot, I can place a wooden spoon and it will stand up no matter how you lean it. Then the fun comes in on deciding, will it be eggplant parmesan, spaghetti, and meatballs, vegetable lasagna, or a host of other delicacies. When it is all said and done” DON’T TRADE TODAY FOR TOMORROW”.

Turning Defeat Into Victory

Hello Everyone. This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s Adventure is: Victory Mindset, When we learned there is no failure or mistake that cannot be remedied, the better off you will be. Defeat is part of life. No one made it to the top of any industry by not failing. It’s hard to remember but sometimes when you’re down and defeated, it’s only temporary. Everything comes and goes, nothing is permanent, especially defeat.

3 Ways to Finally Overcome Defeat and Conquer Your Goals you speak to yourself more than anyone else, are you a good influence on your own success? self talk will smith failure quote win defeat give up never warrior winner champion

So how do you overcome defeat? Silence Your Inner Critic. These voices are worrying doubts that will not help you succeed. If you don’t learn how to monitor and control the voices and negative thoughts, you’ll never succeed. Counteract the negativity by surrounding yourself with positivity. Listen to motivational speeches, read affirmations to yourself, be proud of your wins, and listen when they get loud. One of the best books I have read this year is Janet Legere’s ” Get Stuck On Happy“. Everyone should get this book.

Remember Why You Started. Each time you feel defeated, it’s on you to go deep within yourself and find the passion to keep going. You have to focus on why you started whatever it is in the first place.

Every obstacle is a reminder to go back and reignite that spark when you first began your journey. Keep your why the top of mind so you can stay focused and keep pushing forward!

Remember as Thomas Edison said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time.” Keep going, keep believing, and make 2020 the year you get everything you ever wanted. Failure can only Break you if you Let it. Take a look at Why I have My Business.

Be the Elephant, who never forgets. The mice can get into small places. The Tiger, who is strong. The Cheetah, who is fast. The Eagle, who can soar to great heights. You decide who you are, where you are going, and where you want to end up. Understand that Failure Isn’t the End… It’s a New Beginning. Come see why BIG commissions are attracted to ME.

DON’T GO IT ALONE

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Tuesday’s adventure is DON’T do it by yourself. Question: If you look at the animal population, why do they travel in herds, packs, pods, gaggle, and so on. It’s in their DNA. Now look at people, we have clubs we join, clubs we go out to, social media, sporting events, fairs, amusement parks….. WE WANT TO BE AROUND PEOPLE OR HAVE THEM NOTICE US.

Now, look at BUSINESS….Following simple steps, we build an audience, which becomes a group, which becomes a big FAMILY. If you are truly reading this, and you are looking to build an online business, I WANT TO HELP YOU. We all need help, in the beginning, someone to guide us, show us how to build the strongest business, that will last for generations.

Here on my blogs, Michael The Traveling Trucker, I promote 2 business models. Contact List Builder and Traffic Leads 2 Income Viral Mailer. I am being guided by 2 people who are leaders in their fields. They are teaching, 1st- build your list. For this to happen, you have to be a part of business yourself so you can promote what you are doing. Putting offers-(Lead capture pages), blogging, out there where others looking can see them and respond.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/group/

We are all here to work together, never alone. We encourage each other, correct each other when needed. A correction is a positive act when done right and with love. There are ways to do business right and wrong. When done incorrectly, you can damage yourself and others, losing out on time, money, and friendship.

Working with others is the key to building any business. Set your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goals. Next, send them to your mentor or coach. Have them walk you through each aspect to get a clear picture of where you want to go, and the tools you need to get there. As members come into your business, walk them through the process, so we all stay close and build it right. People have ideas so listen carefully to what they said, then look to see if it has merit.

Being a master of one or a jack-of-all-trades in today’s world does not bring about success if you are unable to work as part of a team. The importance of teamwork cannot be stressed enough!

I LOVE this :

Leaders that develop great teams around them have two things that they do well: They have a lot of emotional intelligence and are able to provide a clear vision for the team. I believe this with my whole heart. Janet Legere and Rob Gehring are two of the leaders I look to. They help provide and point me in the right direction to get things done on a daily basis, to build my business.

Let Me Help You, READER. Together we can and will build a DYNASTY. Yes I know we each have a separate business, but always the bigger picture-TEAM.

A teamwork environment promotes an atmosphere that fosters friendship and loyalty. These close-knit relationships motivate partners in parallel and align them to work harder, cooperate and be supportive of one another.

DEVELOPMENT

Mention: http://www.jillrveverka.com/learn-do-and-earn-as-you-go/

Self-Development vs Shelf-Development….

Do you know the difference?

Shelf-development occurs when you buy all the latest books, videos, trainings that have lots of good learning in them….and you leave them unopened. They sound great. The look great. And…they probably are great, but….you don’t get into them.

Self-development means that you have gone through those great resources and have found “nuggets” you can use to begin to build an online business.

If you are just starting to look for ways to earn income from home online, I applaud you EVEN MORE!

You need to gather information about different ways to earn and select the one that fits best for you. When you are learning to earn online, don’t wait to be “perfect” before you start. That won’t work in your favor. Learn as you go. Take the graduated steps to find the procedures that work the best for you and your audience and use those. Then add on. You don’t need tech-savvy, computer wizardry, or business training. You are in a “family” of affiliates doing just as you are and we help each other.

Where do you want to be a month from now…?????? Still, struggling with your JOB and boss? Wondering if you have a full job to go back to? Wondering if your financial situation will ever improve? What about your vacation/travel plans?

Look no farther, We at Contact List Builder, have what you are looking for. Please don’t pass this by. We have a gift for you. Our FREE Quick 3 step guide to building your business with us. This is the perfect time to be expanding your horizons this way. Don’t pass it up! Take a look!

Working online can be like a volcano that explodes, believe it or not.

Mention: https://www.thebalancesmb.com/elements-of-a-smart-business-goal-2951530

Here is a small sample of places to go, when time and money is NOT a concern. Building YOUR own business gives you the power to earn what you want, have the time you want, to do whatever you want.

One thing I have learned from our leaders is to reward efforts. People love to be recognized. Make sure you show your team, how much you trust them, encourage them to set goals, and go after them through taking action. From personal experience, Every ATTA BOY has meant the world to me, given me the courage to move forward.

Smile-Someone Is Always Watching

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/smiley%20face/?pagi=2

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s SMILING adventure begins with stretching your LIPS wide from side to side. Yes, It’s called SMILING. True fact: Some claim it takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but open Aunt Milda’s chain letter and you might be surprised to learn it takes 26 to smile and 62 to frown. And some naysayers claim it’s quite the opposite, that in fact it takes more muscles to smile than to frown.

I LOVE SMILING. I always get a smile back, when I smile at YOU. I get a wave when I wave at YOU. I do the thumbs up, peace sign, Spock- Live Long And Prosper sign, any reaction to put that smile on YOUR face. Try it out for yourself. Do any of these activities and see the results for yourself. It’s so much fun. With all the negative going on these days WE ALL NEED THIS–S M I L E.

Want a great read-Get Stuck On Happy, is by far a genuine, straight from the heart book about changing your mindset, from the negative to the positive. Recognizing your thinking negatively and begin turning back to the positive. Because we humans are wired to instinctively respond like for like, facial expressions are contagious. When taken, the homily’s implied advice to put on a happy face does work to benefit society in that smiling people cause those around them to smile. See I told YOU.

Look Janet, I see how fun this can be .LOL

Events like face painting bring smiles, complimenting someone on how they look, giving up your seat to someone, helping someone with their yard work because you can. What brings a SMILE to your face? Being a trucker, blowing my airhorn, brings smiles to people young and old alike when they hold their arm out the window, and make the up and down motion for blowing my horn.

My biggest smile maker is my cooking. I cooked professionally for 10 years. My recipe folder is thousands. My best recipe is homemade, I mean 2 days to get ready, MARINARA SAUCE. Everything is fresh, from tomatoes, fresh herbs. I like mine thick, so it stays on my spaghetti. My good friend Tammy House from Pampered Chef can help out with online parties, products, and services. Check out her site.

Smiling makes us feel happier. It is not a cure-all for every situation (that is, don’t look to it to remedy overwhelming grief), but in terms of getting us past a small dose of the blues, it can help to lift the sense of sadness being experienced.

Repeat aloud: Today is a wonderful day. I have never seen this one before.

Today I will walk like I’m listening to my favorite song.

Today I give MYSELF the best gift ever, THE PRESENT MOMENT.

I want to give you a free SMILE. When you click on the links, you will smile when you see how easy it is to build a business.

TRANSFORMATION

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael the Traveling Trucker. This adventure is my walk from boyhood to manhood. Please remember that a lot of what you read was over 25-30 years ago. As you look into my life, look back into yours.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/prison/

Stairs, Architecture, Steps, Climb, High

It started as a son. Born into a family of 5, Dad, Mom, and 3 sisters. Yep, the youngest. I didn’t have a relationship with dad or mom growing up. Both parents worked. Our family life was brutal at times. My dad was violent, that’s what he knew growing up. It’s all he had. Yes, there was some tender moment, but not many. I remember getting into the habit of stealing at a young age. This got me into trouble until I was in my 30’s. There was alcohol at our house, lot’s of it. I remember my 1st drunk outside of the family at 13. This drinking lasted until I was 30. I became an alcoholic and drug addict. I had sexual relations with anyone who wanted sex. Lot’s of partners. There is hope for all who read this. You can change IF YOU WANT TO. I lost more jobs, so-called friends, family members. I was close to my sister. After I was married for a few years, my sister told my wife, she didn’t think I was going to make it past my 25th birthday. I carried a gun, smoked, cussed, and generally hated people. My sweet bride put up with my drinking for the 1st 4 years of our marriage. She didn’t remember me sober, I don’t remember her but in a drunken state.

Mention: https://www.123rf.com/stock-photo/slave.html

Life is what you make it, GOOD or BAD. I chose badly for way to many years. I have had to fight for any peace in my life. My wife was getting ready to leave me and take our oldest daughter, who was 1, away. She loved me but couldn’t stand, me being drunk every day. I had multiple affairs, lied at every question asked of me. My life was a wreck. God gently lead me to AA. I began getting sober. I went for 2 years. Every day I went to a meeting. My wife wanted to go to church. That is where I met Tim Miles. This man loved me enough to show me God’s word. He poured his life into mine. Tim was a recovered drug addict. that’s why we related. I pray for those who have any hurts, habits, or hangups to find HELP. It is just waiting for you. Take that step no matter how hard it may seem. YOU can Do It.

I have been arrested, several times. I thank God, I didn’t do any jail time. People were paid off to drop the charges. That’s the kind of people I hung out with. Money, drugs, and lots of alcohol. We watched out for each other for a while.

Now for the transformation, after a small glimpse of the dark side. My life today is one of JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, HONOR, SACRIFICE.

I believe In GOD the FATHER, JESUS his SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Through daily change, I have gotten on the path of righteousness. God is directing my every step. I love my wife and daughters. I would die for them. My finances are the best they’ve ever been. I started an internet business with faithful, loving people.

I have a book- GET STUCK ON HAPPY. This is a great read. Things to do every day to bring happiness into your life. I take full responsibility for my thoughts and actions. Quick to say I’m wrong and apologize. God has given me a new outlook on life. I see when I once was blind, hear when I was deaf, speak with wisdom when I was a fool. WHO ARE YOU BECOMING? Don’t waste another day walking in darkness, come into the light. I used to think I had to give up something I thought I loved. I gained everything through LOVE. Today I truly have good gifts and am able to pass along good gifts.

Choose today: LIGHT OR DARKNESS. Choose LIFE, NOT DEATH. There is so much out here that brings LIFE. Let’s find it together. I’ll walk with you, hold your hand, and encourage you every step of the way.

How much do YOU really want to CHANGE your mindset? Going from an unhappy, unfulfilled, and negative mindset, to a Positive, happy, totally fulfilled lifestyle. It’s about training YOUR mind to do simple tasks each day until they become a HABIT. 10 minutes a day. Yep, just 10 minutes.

I began reading a book from my Dear Friend, Mentor, and Business Coach JANET LEGERE. Get Stuck On Happy-30 Ways to Change Your Thoughts and Live a Happier Life. Janet’s passion for life, her easy style of teaching, writing, and Mentoring, has helped me on my journey to improve my thoughts and habits to always reflect the positive.

I love the GRATITUDE JOURNAL. This is a 30 day journal for writing down 3 things each morning, you are grateful for. Then 3 things at night you are grateful for. Then reflect back daily at your journal’s past days entries.

This might sound funny to some: There is a breathing technique. I personally have been doing this for years, so I understand the calming affect it has on your mind and body. It helps your whole being to quite the negative thoughts and refocus on the positive.

When you look around your house, DO YOU SEE HAPPY? I mean, do you smile often at the things ( pictures, flowers, stuffed animals, books, etc) around your house? Do the memories from these things bring a positive, happy smile to your day? If not, then begin today to fill your house with a positive, happy mindset. Look at these WORDS BELOW. Take 1 minute right now: Reflect on how they calm you, help you focus on the positive side of your SPIRIT.

Now Picture YOUR perfect moment. What do you see? Where are you? What are you doing? What are you wearing? What’s the weather outside? Who is with you? What can you smell? What can you you hear? How do you feel?

Moments fill us with joy and happiness. Waiting for the perfect moment may take to long- Create YOUR HAPPY MOMENTS yourself and enjoy!

Traveler, Guest, Or Family

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure: WHO ARE YOU? In your world that you travel through, what is your status?

How do you relate to those around you?

Are you the traveler that comes in from time to time to impart wisdom or cause havoc?

I love this couple, Daughter and Son in law. They live 3 hours from us so they are travelers and family that impart wisdom.

Are you the Guest that is on best behavior, helps out, and brings joy to those you interact with or want to be waited on hand and foot?

Are you Family, who is there through the good times and the bad. You can be counted on, willing to help, guide and pray with your family members or are you the long gone, no where to be found member?

Yes That’s me with my cooking vest on. I love cooking.

I love to ask these kinds of questions. In my travels as a trucker, I have had the opportunity to meet and greet a large number of people. Listening to their stories has been life-changing, as I internalize what is the true meaning of life. The more I invest in people, the greater the reward. My heart is filled with compassion, grace, forgiveness, love, respect, honor. I have met families that are always together, enjoying life together. They laugh, cry, love, and share all they have with each other.

I have also met families, who are not close. They argue and fight. Cuss each other, and sometimes violent acts break out. I cry when I meet these people. I can relate, As my family was not close growing up. There was violence from time to time. I have had to really work on not being that family member with my family now. I want to love and respect them. My life really changed when I give my life to GOD. Over the years, God has shown me, talked with me through people and His word, how to relate to people. I want to be a lover of people.

Regardless of how we remember our childhood, we have a choice of how we’ll remember our adulthood. Better yet, since we are creating our adulthood as we go, we can make it so that we will not be ashamed of anything we’ve said or done. Think about it; the past cannot tell us what we’re capable of because what we’re capable of is yet to be seen. What we’re capable of is our capacity to grow. So when I ask you, what are you capable of, and you look to your past, you’ve completely limited your growth capacity, your capability of your future.

My prayer for those reading this: May you give your life to God if you have never done so. May you grow toward being a positive model for others to see. Remember you can choose whatever you want, so choose wisely. I love you, I believe in you. Your time is now. Please don’t waste it.
