Drive Your Work! Thrive in Your Life! Because You Deserve It!
You personal facet is one of the most important facets of your life. Our discussion of your personal facet on the blog proceeds from the premise you are your most precious asset.
If you want to be Great! All the time! and own your own life instead of it owning you, then you must not only recognize, but also, more importantly, believe your own self is your most precious resource.
If you ever want to achieve Greatness! in your life and come to own your own life instead of it owning you, then you have to learn and adopt a plan of action that will get you there. A Great! plan to make you a success in anything you want to achieve in life takes Power, Focus, Control, and Balance. In these next four posts, we are going to discuss each of these factors of your new plan for owning your own life instead of it owning you and put them together in a way you can understand and use every day, from the time you get up each morning until the time you go to bed each night, and finish each day feeling as though you accomplished something each and every day of your life.

This will be a Great! week here in the Greatness! section of Great! All the time! I have four posts already scheduled for Monday through Thursday, excerpts of my coming book, The Great! Life Owner’s Manual.
What are they? Continue reading “This Week’s Destination”
In his book Man’s Search for Meaning Viktor Frankl, a Jewish German neurologist/psychiatrist colleague of Freud who fathered logotherapy (considered the “Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy” after Freud’s psychoanalysis and Adler’s individual psychology) and survived the Holocaust, talks about three values in life: the creative value, the experiential value, and the attitudinal value. If you have ever recovered well from an awesomely bad situation, more likely than not, you used some attitudinal value to do so.
Let me give you an example and then you can leave a comment below talking about your own example. Continue reading “Attitudinade! Get the Best Out of a Bad Situation”
We are all gems of one type or another. Well-polished gems get their highest value when their polishers pay close attention to the facets surrounding them. Which is exactly what we do when applying the P10 Principle to find Greatness!
What are your four major life facets?
Four major facets upon which you should focus to reach Greatness! are:

Owned people spend so much of their life’s precious resources trying to be true to others they in fact become false to themselves. Until you subordinate what others in your life want from you and perceive the detailed vision of what it is you want out of your life first, you will not be able to own your own life.
What you want in life is your own “Cha-ching!”
Up until the late 1900’s, almost all of us grew up playing “Store” and we continued to play the game as adults hearing the familiar and comforting sound “Cha-ching!”, the noise of a cash register ringing, as the indicative satisfying sound of success.
We were all brought up to live running a store and working to hear that “Cha-ching!” while our lives became bought and owned by others as we became driven by our greed to profit in life and acquire more property than we could reasonably use, and we continued to be driven by our fear of losing whatever we worked so hard to acquire. Don’t get me wrong here though. I’m not against working in a store – even if it is someone else’s; though I feel it is definitely better to own the store than it is to run it. Commerce is the engine that cycles our property resources. So ring away, my friend.
Still, in order to become Great! All the time!, you have to figure out how to keep ringing the cash register by serving others in your life, but only as part of ringing your own register first and foremost as you make your life go “Cha-ching!” for whatever is most important to you. You can only move forward, however, by seeking your own Cha-ching!, your personal definition of being Great! All the time!, by peeling away the unnecessary layers making you remain being owned by your life.
Your life is just like anything else you build, borrow, buy, or steal. As soon as you get it, you must constantly maintain it in order to protect its value. Because maintenance is such a big part of ownership, the problem most “owned” people have can be summed up as follows: the life they have created is too big and too difficult to comfortably maintain in a practically perfect state.
Why are most peoples’ lives so big and difficult to maintain? Because, Continue reading “Prioritizing Your Relationships – Part 9”
How many of you remember the fantastic ensemble singing the song, We are the World? Where did Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson come up with that idea? Continue reading “Prioritizing Your Relationships – Part 10”
One Great! maxim is, “You are what you do!” I was reminded of this once again on a recent trip to see my sister, Waynette, who takes excellent care of me in so many ways personally and in my businesses. Continue reading “DoBeDoBeDo!”
In Part 7 of this series of posts on prioritizing your relationships, I left you hanging on my every word, waiting for the discussion of applying prioritizing your relationships and using your life’s precious resources in those relationships. Based on Bentham’s utilitarian approach, modified for a little Greatness!, I discussed how to plan the application of your life’s precious resources of self, time, effort, energy, emotion, intellect, property, and people to big, important things.
Then I teased you, saying Continue reading “Prioritizing Your Relationships – Part 8”
