No. 9 — How to Plan Your Life!

If you have ever physically built a new home, and I helped build ours, you know it is not very exciting to see the concreate slab or a block foundation in place. However, as the home takes -- the driveway and sidewalks are finished and in place, the shrubs are planted, and the grass sown and mowed -- you can stand back and admire a thing of beauty. I share this as an analogy for what I am building here, with a step-by-step plan for helping to build greater success…

Hope you are having a good, rewarding and exciting week. Our next words are higher needs --those words that human beings seek after satisfying the law of self-preservation, the first law of nature. “My most important higher needs are companionship and spiritual growth.” Next is imagination -- a unique capability of the human mind to combine subconscious information to produce mental pictures. “The child has a vivid imagination – just look at the pictures she has drawn.” Next is income --what a person or organization receives from production, including moneyand…

There is one important quality that every true winner in life has learned, and that quality is persistence. I realize this review or learning these important words is not very exciting, but they are important to building a solid foundation, so I encourage you to stay the course. Our next word is commitment – a firm decision to perform or not to perform some action, involving a person’s total resources in the mental, physical, moral, and spiritual areas of life. “Marriage is a commitment for life. Without that foundation marriage…

With your blessings, I would like to begin this column with a promise. When you take the time and take a pair of scissors, clip out each of these columns, work to improve your vocabulary and then begin to use some of these words in your everyday conversations, you will notice a deep sense of personal satisfaction that makes life more interesting and exciting. It is the best way I know to stay out of a rut. As we continue with these concept words, our first one today is the…

Did you hear about this old boy who was the greatest salesman in the world? He was able to convince his wife that she was too fat for a mink coat. Just wanted to share this with you to make a point. To maintain a great perspective in our life, we should always have time for a little humor. In our column today we will talk about the value and importance of developing a great vocabulary, because our knowledge of words is the way we communicate. First, we should always…

As I begin today’s column, it is important that I briefly discuss the overall plan that I will be using to present the How To Plan Your Days concept to you (a concept being a collection of thoughts and ideas.) If you can somehow get a “feel” for my thinking and see the whole picture, the benefits will be far greater in what you would achieve just reading one column at a time.           I hope that you clearly understand the essence of the total life-planning concept. As a human…

Our great state of Arkansas leads the nation in one category that I dislike very much. We lead the nation when it comes to food insecurity. This means that thousands of our citizens go to bed hungry every night. Now most adults can fend for themselves, but not our children, as far too many of them do not have nearly enough to eat. This breaks my heart. It will take some time, but I am going to do my best to get a great majority of the newspapers across America…

My friend, have you ever read something in the newspaper that was so good that you clipped it out to read again later, used in a speech or an article, or just to share with family and friends? If you have been a newspaper reader or subscriber for any length of time, I suspect you have. I know that I have done this many times.           To be sure, I have a purpose in asking you this question, as it is central to a unique idea that I am developing.…

         My friend, if you have ever been in a rut, you will appreciate what I want to share with you today. To be honest, I have been in a rut many times but have always managed to have them to be short lived. The reason I have been able to do this is because I have learned what causes this condition, and then take steps to get out of it.           The reason we can stay out of a rut is to always have something interesting and exciting to…
