The idea of not asking for what you want, or feeling guilty for asking for too much is old dated thinking. The placing the order of ones desires when they have been searched out and relate to purpose is actually the creation proccess. Because it has been searched out from within then it has a purity that does not involve greed, lust, and envy. The placing an order and becoming clear about what I want prevents complacency, and drives action. The neglecting to do so causes laziness, and apathy. Desires of creation come from the creator, desires of contentment come from fear. It is good to be greatful for all current blessings, and great to invest in the blessings that cause one to become more.
For my relationship/lifestyle- We are planning a vacation to each of the families favorite spots they have learned about and desired to visit. Kyler identifies Europe, my wife decided the Greek Isles, Olivia learned about the pyramids and Brayden decided that he enjoyed the baseball parks of America, so we are traveling from each park to park this summer. I enjoy this one the most because I can do what I love the most and that is work on building the business, and being on vacation at the same time. Our motorhome is amazing, It is huge and we enjoy more ammenities then a five star hotel. When we pull into the cities of america people always ask what is it you do. I smile and simply say, I'm so glad you asked come and find out tonight as a friend and a mentor tonight talks about their journey at the Marriot on Elm st. or the Hilton on Friars rd. for an amazing individual who has set up people with a business model that people would break down brick walls to gain.
As much as I love living in our home in Malibu, I do like being on the road. I enjoy the fact when we are on the coasts I can wake up and surf, (west coast journeys) on the best beaches, get out get showered and feel that calm relaxed at ease feeling while I dial the east coast for two hours and be done working for the day, it's from 8-10 in the morning on the west coast, I've called my leaders for the conference call from 8-830 and spoken with the new business partners from 0830-10 which is really the 1130-1300 on the east coast. The beauty is that by the time the kids wake up at 10 they are ready to visit the muesems of Monterey, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles. They are learning so much and we pay the extra to get the real education from the curators, directors, producers, and owners for these sites. around lunch Erin usually has the best taste for a great Cafe where the kids can enjoy a good meal but are able to explore with our nanny the restaurant, they are not outside the boundaries a lot of the restaraunt owners in most of the bigger cities are customers of ours and have been out to some of our seminars and our family is theres and vice a versa. Erin and I enjoy the mid afternoon date, it feels that way. Our Nanny really is amazing, she is taking her undergraduate courses online when we travel, as she is pursuing her Masters in Networking and Marketing. It's kinda funny, she is probably the only student that enjoys the luxury of in class when we are home and online when we are away. She goes to our Practical Business School and something about not only knowing the dean, but being knowing the founder (myself with some amazing leaders) lets her get the flexiblity. She enjoys the life of travel. She is building quite the business her self.
In the afternoon it is activity time and due to some incredible courses we developed the kids are able to expand the motorhome at the park in 15 minutes into a gym. Kyler loves his Karate instructer. Brayden is an amazing athelete in his virtual trainer he is playing at levels 2 times his age and the scouts know it, his strength has gotten to a level that he would be one of the first freshman to enter the combines, Freshman in High school that is. He loves it for what he gets from it whether he chooses that later that is his choice. Olivia loves her Mui Thai, Judo and tumbling classes. That gym on wheels has become one of my favorite parts of the day. I enjoy being at the practices as I watch the kids stretch out of desire to become more. They don't need motivation, they love it, it is a game, they work hard, but they never know what work is. I watch them through the safety net, so do the passers by every day. The kids like performing, it is good for their focus.
After they clean up we have our catering that is just finished setting up, Erin still does not like cooking, so luckily she doesn't anymore. tonight I am speaking at the briefing so it is a light dinner, the kids know they are going to their friends tonight and it's a snack night. They are excited because it has been a couple months since seeing their friends in Seattle. The amazing thing is they keep in touch daily via the internet phones, but there is something magical in every city with the reunions. They are great kids they all enjoy a higher education, the camps together during conventions and team events, some who's parents are able to stay at home. They know their values and appreciate their parents pursuits.
When the briefing is done, all the families meet up for the after event. It is so much fun to meet with the team in Seattle, they know the coolest restaraunts. We laugh to the point of tears about some of the briefings events, and we answer questions. The kids benefit from the mentorship as they ear jockey we all know they are listening and answer questions asked so that they can, we don't let them know that we know though. I promote my book signing from 12-1300 tommorow at the space needle and let them know to bring their friends early because I don't want to spend too much time away from the family. They all laugh because I never had to say the word, our team is known for early.
