A few months ago, I made a huge mistake online. We don’t have to revisit it, but I’d like to draw attention to a good friend that didn’t condemn me for my mistake but reached out with compassion and love.

His name is Christopher Marsh, and many of you may have seen him around online because he’s a connected man

The Authentic Movement is about being REAL and Chris is. Listen to him share his miraculous story.

… because this man of great integrity holds his head up high, helping others, not looking down on them, but helping to lift them up (despite all his own personal troubles in which he shares).

THIS IS REAL! THIS IS THE #AUTHENTICMOVEMENT

Thanks Christopher Marsh, God bless you buddy!

• Anxiety To The Extreme! Guest Post #2 for #AuthenticMovement (Christian Perspective on Anxiety To The Extreme!))
• The Three Old Men: Love, Wealth and Success!

By Crystal H. Holdipp

When Curt Bizelli asked me to write a follow up article on anxiety my response was I can share my experience with anxiety, but I can’t tell someone how to overcome it, if I’m still struggling with it. This is not something I have perfected, but something that I can say I’ve experienced and I’m here to give encouragement to you.

Everyone at some point in their life has experienced an anxious feeling. Some may get anxious about a test they have coming up or maybe a job interview. There are some who may have experienced anxiety to the extreme. They may have been diagnosed with or have experienced symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or even Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Others may have struggled with anxiety/ panic attacks.

I have experienced anxiety to the extreme and it’s still a weak area in my life. I’ve struggled with obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, social anxiety and anxiety/panic attacks. I started noticing compulsive behaviors/obsessive thoughts in myself in college. I noticed at home I would keep repeating tasks because of the anxious feeling I had and I wanted the ease from the feeling. The obsessive thoughts I’ve experienced turned into anxiety and panic attacks.

In the summer of 2008 was a very difficult time for me. I was struggling with both depression and anxiety. I thought I was going crazy. The obsessive thoughts and depression was causing me to have emotional breakdowns at home where I kept crying. I’ve been to Christian counseling and to the doctor before about what I had been experiencing. At one point I thought something was wrong with my heart, but now I know it was the attacks that were happening to me.

I believe there is still hope for anyone experiencing these things. There is a true living God that brings hope to us no matter what the situation is. God can speak peace to your mind and your life no matter the confusion that is going on within. It’s important that each and every one of us have a relationship with Jesus. He is the only one that can keep us from falling apart completely. If you feel like you are at your lowest Jesus is the only one that can truly pick you back up and bring healing and deliverance to you. Our healing and deliverance from the anxiety can only come from God. We must pray to God letting Him know our heart’s cry. God wants to hear from us, He doesn’t want us to turn away from Him, but turn to Him because He is the only one that can bring us through.

Also, reading and studying the Word is important during this challenge. We can look up scriptures on worry, anxious, healing and peace etc and meditate on them. It may seem like this is the end and things can’t get better, but I encourage you to hang in there and draw near to God. God is able and willing to heal and deliver, but we have to trust Him no matter how things look.

Scriptures To Read:
2 Timothy 1: 7
Philippians 4: 6
Isaiah 53: 5
God bless you!

• Depression Has a Way of Sneaking Up On Me – Real Life Encounters Speak Out! (Guest #1)

“I can do all things through Christ whom Strengthens me”

Good Morning Friends,

I wanted to give another update of hope & encouragement. As some of you know, I fell back into some old, bad habits … yet God delivered me yet again! Isn’t that great? Knowing that no matter what we do, no matter how short we fall compared to the Glory of God, He will ALWAYS, never fail in accepting us as we are.

I have an important message for you this morning. Just like the scripture says above, All things are possible with God. In our own flesh we fall short, are sinners and are not capable of all things, but when we turn to a higher power which is something so much greater than ourselves and hand over our will, our wants and our desires … He will bless us beyond belief. He will make us capable. He will wash away the sins and He will even give your desires back to you. YES! It also states in biblical scripture, “I shall be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him in the next” … it also states (look these up on www.BibleGateway.com so you know these are from The Lord). It also states, “Delight yourself also in the Lord and He will grant you the desires of your heart.” He doesn’t say needs. That is a given! He is like a dad except so much greater. He cares for His children. That’s why we calle Him  the Heavenly Father.

Yes! He wants us to be happy, He wants our DESIRES to be met, but just like a FATHER, He ultimately wants the best for us. Sometimes your will doesn’t align with what He wants for your life (and doesn’t the parent always win)

My calling in life (and you could call it a Supreme Mission Statement) is to make a difference by assisting you finding your God given purpose in Life. No matter whether I call myself a Publicist or a “movie junkie’” … one thing will always be infinite and come first, and if you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior, the same goes for you. I AM A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD!

This phrase coined by the notorious Joel Osteen (even though I do not agree with all of his ways) has helped me through so many troubles in my life. It makes me think of the scripture that states, “If God be for me, who shall be against me” … Understand the power of God, my friends. I yearn to get to know Him more and more everyday, and I urge you to “consider” doing the same.

BUT REMEMBER: God is not there to give you everything you want even though that’s what your beliefs aka Law of Attraction, etc. might state. Like I said before, HE WILL! but just like scripture states, you must FIRST delight yourself in HIM.

God is more than a Genie.

God is “more than everything” …

He said say, “I Am sent you for I am the God of your ancestors, The God of Isaac, The God of Jacob, The God of Abraham. I am Who Was, Who Is and Always Will Be” – The Alpha, The Omega, The Beginning and Thee End.

You can leave a comment if you like, but my main call to action for you this morning is to find yourself not in this world which includes yourself, but in Him (God) who is far greater than you could ever imagine.

Be blessed my friends, and remember I’m offering the podium on this blog to anybody who would like to Guest Post. I’m falling short in my duties here due to much business. Feel free to “chip in”, contact me and arrange a guest post on ANY topic you can find on this blog.

Hey Ladies & Gents, (there’s a surprise at the end) !!!

I don’t have really anything valuable today except remember to outsource the tasks that you’re not as good at in order to free up some of your time. I’m working on this now. This blog is under-going some maintenance as you can probably tell by the NEW Navigation and “Coming Soon” pages.

I appreciate your patience. Much Value to come on these pages in the near future. Remember, If you want something bad enough, you’ll get it. AHA! 

YA KNOW WHAT??? … I do have something for you. I can’t leave you hanging.

I said, “If you want something bad enough, You WILL get it” .. well 3-4 months ago, I just KNEW that I had to start getting in shape. This is a personal development success story. When I was younger I was always thin, taking up sports and weight training I was a “fit lady’s man” … then the home based biz kicked in … and sitting on my #ss for 17 hours per day working caused me to turn into a FORKLIFT!

My starting stats:

224.6 lb.

26% body fat

My “Now” stats:

195 lb.

20% body fat

… and I’m not done yet .. Don’t worry I’m not trying to sell you some Juice or Potion. I used no other supplements other than your good ole’ whey protein, energy drinks, coffee (hmm), and the occasional slim fast.

What did I do?

I GOT SERIOUS ABOUT IT! I started in my mind … then I conceived it.

“What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill

I call it the COMMON SENSE DIET! Here are a couple QUICK tips! (WARNING: This seems to be really difficult for most Americans to Grasp) … 

….

….

….

• Eat Less
• Move More

… STAY TUNED … because I really will be coming to you with some great FITNESS “SECRETS” when I get more time on the clock. Thanks for tuning in and sharing my weight loss journey with me.

This post is being wrote humbly without knowledge from myself.

This post will talk about God. You’re being offered the opportunity to know Him like never before. This isn’t one of the opportunities you’ll find on a landing page or in Jonathan Budd’s or Katie Freiling’s sales funnel. Before you go when I mention these potentially uncomfortable things, look deep within yourself to FEEL what you may be missing. Be Honest With Yourself!

NOW … What does this have to do with SEO? hmm?

SEO is manmade like most of the things we come to see, hear and know in our daily lives. We have two eyes to see and two ears to hear, but when do we really listen with our hearts! Listen to your heart, my friend!

… remain with me here …

God made man. Man made SEO. … Science would say that if this is true then God can control SEO! That’s the REVELATION and point of this blog post! You don’t have to worry about SEO or “anything for that matter” if you put your trust & faith in Him. The problem is so many people are either lacking faith or just plain lost.

Japan has moved 16 feet I believe it was reported. Some say it is sinking.

Tuscaloosa, AL recently had terrible storms; so did St. Louis and my town here in Poplar Bluff, MO had flooding like crazy in which we’re still recovering from.
1000s of homes evacuated in my town alone, and How many people turned to God? or Did they curse God for the misfortunes?

I’m not throwing negative news on you to scare you for God said in His Word “Do Not Fear” over 300 times. I’m simply making a point that this world is NOT in desperate need of new age psycho babble but The God of Abraham and His Son, Christ Jesus who died on the cross 2,000 years ago for Your sins.

Jesus from history said, “He who has seen me has seen The Father” … God is our ultimate father and no matter how hard you try with self improvement & personal development, you’ll NEVER live up to His glory for He’s perfect and in the eyes of Him, we fall short all the time.

Are you ready? This takes FAITH. Not analyzing! but blind Faith … Imagine stepping off of a tall cliff in the middle of nowhere with no harnesses or anything to protect you. This is what keeps most people from coming to the One True God and Faith in Christ Jesus! … it honestly takes stepping off of that cliff.

You’ve heard “Let Go, Let God” …

Do it Now!

“God gave his only son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” – John 3:16

If you’re ready pray this prayer:

“God, I fully recognize that I’m a sinner and I don’t want to carry that burden any longer. I know what you did for me through Jesus Christ. You died for my sins and I need you. Right now, I surrender my sins to you. Please come into my life, come into my heart and fill me with peace and ultimately salvation by the blood of Christ. I desire to see your kingdom one day, and I thank you for this by faith alone I know you’re now always with me and I will. Thank you for accepting me as your child. Amen.”

If you prayed this prayer or something similar then you are now A Child of The Most High God. CELEBRATE in NEW LIFE!

• “You don’t just go out and water an empty field. You plant seeds first.” – The Wisdom of God …

If I asked you, what is your most fundamental concern in life, what would be your answer?

You might answer “Oh, my children and family are my life, and my most important concern” – wrong!

You may answer, “My career is the most fundamental concern of my life” – wrong!

You may even answer “Helping others is my primary interest in life, this is why I was born into this world” – again wrong!

These are all very worthy causes for existing but they mask the real fundamental concern in your own life, yourself.

To most, admitting that your primary interest in life is yourself, seems wrong, narcissistic and selfish but isn’t denying the truth worse?

Let’s go over the answers:

My children and family are my life

My children and my family are my primary concern in life – well the real answer lies hidden within this statement, ‘my’ children and ‘my’ family. Of course you may love and want the best for your children and family, but look at why you chose to have children and a family in the first place.

You chose to have children and a family to satisfy your own need or want. You didn’t sit there one day and think, “Hmmm, I would like to have kids because there is an unborn child waiting to come into this world who will need a parent” or “I really need to get on with structuring a family, because there is a person out there (my soul mate) who needs one, and who also feels there is an unborn child waiting, in need of parents”.

You wanted to have children and a family to satisfy your own want or need for that child or family. What you really wanted was satisfaction for yourself; you were looking out for number one.

My career is the most fundamental concern of my life

This one is a little easier to grasp in terms of admitting you are the primary benefactor of such an answer.

In holding your career as the most fundamental concern in your life, are you admitting that you crave the position in society your career can give you? Does this career give you the respect you feel you deserve and the standing in society which has others recognising your greatness and prestige?

You’re seeking recognition for the purposes of being seen to be powerful or outstanding in some way in your chosen field and therefore in society. All non-selfless reasons, meaning you’re looking out for number one.

Helping others is my primary interest in life

Can you see that by wanting to help others you are still satisfying your own need? You may be compelled to help others because you feel it’s a worthy thing to do with your life, it may be born of tradition or ideology, or you may just enjoy the feeling you get when you reach out to people.

Either way you are still satisfying your own needs and wants by helping others, it brings you a wonderful feeling of satisfaction, so you’re being driven by satisfying yourself, you are looking out for number one.

Does True Selflessness Exist?

Take a volunteer of a very worthy cause, they offer their time, with no financial payment, to the cause of their choice.

This would seem like a truly selfless act upon which they would be seen as a selfless giver with no interest in gain for them self.

However, to sustain their interest in volunteering they must be ‘getting something out of it’. So what is it they gain from such a seemingly selfless act?

They may gain self-esteem, self confidence, worthiness, feeling they are needed or any other number of emotional ‘payoffs’ which motivated them to volunteer in the first place.

We look out for ourselves first and foremost, and this can be seen in all aspects of our lives.

We don’t enter into relationships with our partners because of the happiness it will fulfil in them; we enter into relationships because of the good feelings, well being and happiness it fulfils in us.

We don’t have friends because we are concerned there are people in the world who need friends, we have them because being friends with certain people offer us something we are looking for, be that human connection, a sympathetic ear or someone we can relate to.

Even giving to charity gives us a redeemable feeling of well being, which we cash in as soon as we flick that coin into the collection tin.

There are tales of acts in crisis which could be interpreted as pure acts of selflessness, for example, a family which harbours a Jewish person during the German occupation in WW2, effectively putting their own lives at risk to help another human being.

Or people who relinquish their own lives to save another, whilst a disaster ensues around them, making the ultimate sacrifice.

These would seem like truly selfless acts and of course they may be just that. In times of life altering circumstances we are often not given the choices we have in usual day to day life. We have to react to the conditions around us at that time, so is this when true selflessness can exist?

Is Selfishness So Bad?

I can see that few acts are truly selfless, there is always a selfish connotation to most decisions we make, so, would it be so bad to recognise this fact and openly state it.

I think it would show honesty we rarely see from people, as I don’t believe looking out for yourself is a bad thing.

Creating a balance of selfishness and selflessness is, in my eyes, the only way to be congruent with our true selves and the world around us. Stating that you show no signs of selfishness is not only incorrect, you are lying to yourself.

There exists a selfish – selfless scale we are all on, sliding to far one way gives you the title of being considered a selfish person by others, sliding the other way gives you the altruistic title. Selfishness exists, whether accepted or not, so embrace it, recognise it and don’t feel bad about it.

We all want our own needs met, and having them met by trading off is one way we accomplish this. Ensuring a healthy balance of giving and taking is normal, so next time you give selflessly think about what you are gaining in return.

Maybe we should try and ignore the negative undertone in the word selfish, and see it for what it is, a natural component of our daily lives.

I was going through some old papers in my filing cabinet like I need to do more often and I ran across this very thought provoking short story in which I’m going to share with you.

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. she did not recognize them. she said “I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.”

“Is the man of the house home?” they asked.

“No”, she replied. “He’s out.”

“Then we cannot come in”, they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what  had happened.

“Go tell them I am home and invite them in!”

The woman went out and invited the men in.

“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.

“Why is that?” she asked.

One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!!” he said. “Since that is the case, let us invite wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!”

His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?”

Their daughter in law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: “Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!”

“Let us heed our daughter in law’s advice,” said the husband to his wife.

“Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”

The woman went out and asked the three old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.”

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?”

The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two would’ve stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is LOVE, there is ALSO Wealth and Success!!!”

Please think about this for a moment and leave a comment to share your thoughts with the rest of the blog community. Thank you!

As we begin to part from 2010 and enter a new decade Beginning with 2011, the way we’ve been conditioned forces us to pause and reflect on the past year, past decade … or you may be looking back over your entire life. What were some cherished memories? Where did I go wrong? … these are logical questions to be asking yourself, however the most fundamental question that everybody on this earth needs to answer is What can I do NOW to improve upon myself, my life and business?

These times are a favorite of mine because I love to think. I’m not the type of man to do things spontaneously too often; not anymore anyways I do occasionally; it feels good to let loose and get a little mud on the tires from “time to time” but I really like to think. Sometimes it has even gotten me in trouble. You know what I mean? I’ll start thinking something negative and before long it consumes me in fear.
Perhaps this is something I can work on in 2011. I know there are many things I can work on, however I’ll stick to just a couple for now, and you should too, because you don’t want to overburden yourself. God wouldn’t do it, so neither should you.

I know a story of a man that took all of our burdens away by being nailed to a tree. Its True! It went down in history with Witnesses! “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart for I have overcome the world” – Jesus (John 16:33) … The point is you’ll never be able to make enough “New Years Resolutions” to bring glory to whomever you choose to call God. You will always fall short. He is perfect in every way, therefore it is impossible for us, being human to live up to His expectations. That is what is so merciful and great in Christ, My Lord.

Nevertheless, I’m not saying, Don’t Try!

“Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.” – Proverbs 10:4

Part of being human is to not only Realize You Won’t Be Perfect and “Take failures as a stepping stone to success” but also take those steps, and take them in faith.

Please take a brief moment to share your Resolutions in the comment section …

… and let us know How you will KEEP IT! Also Tweet and FB share if you Like, and Thank You: Happy New Year 2011 .. May God Bless You and Yours Abundantly!
