Wow!  This week our members absolutely crushed the Kindness goal.

Every year MarkJ challenges the members to focus on “Kindness” for a week and to share the acts of kindnesses in our private members area that they experienced in a week by focusing on Kindness.

This is not just about the acts of kindnesses that others give to you, it’s about finding yourself being kind to others just by focusing on the word.  It’s a beautiful thing that happens.

The goal was to reach 4,000 posts of acts of kindness in a week and in turn, MarkJ, would give 300 hugs to strangers.  Not only did our members hit the 4k mark, they CRUSHED it by posting 7,550 kindness posts. Wahoo!!!

I love this week because just like the Law of Growth states, “whatever I focus on grows and what I forget atrophies without exception” rings true for our members.

This goal was a collective consciousness of everyone focusing on one word and what you give your attention to becomes your intention.

This assignment was part of our Franklin Makeover developed by Benjamin Franklin where there are 13 virtues and you are to assign one virtue per week based on what virtues you require the most work in to improve.  Kindness week is always the 2^nd week and we do it as a group.

Week 1 I chose self-control as my virtue to focus on because that is the virtue I feel I require the most work in to improve my self-control.  It was eye opening to say the least to focus on that for a week and by doing so have honed the areas of my life I require the most work in…a humbling experience.

This past week’s virtue was specialized knowledge.  I really feel like the one thing I require to launch my business into the stratosphere is “skill”.  This will in turn allow me to realize my Liberty SMART goal as my new reality. Yes!  I require specialized knowledge.  So in this past week, I have linked arms with a fellow partner in Go90Grow and we are practicing our dialogue for 30 minutes prior to making calls.  I am promoting this program so others can achieve their specialized knowledge and I am gaining confidence in my specialized knowledge every day.  I am labeling this week a victory!

Peace, Love and Harmony to all.

After a week of meditating on Insight from Master Key 15, I open my Jesus Calling app to this message this morning:

I Am With You and For You

I am with you and for you. When you decide on a course of action that is in line with My will, nothing in heaven or on earth can stop you. You may encounter many obstacles as you move toward your goal, but don’t be discouraged—never give up! With My help, you can overcome any obstacle. Do not expect an easy path as you journey hand in hand with Me, but do remember that I, your very-present Helper, am omnipotent.

Much, much stress results from your wanting to make things happen before their times have come. One of the main ways I assert My sovereignty is in the timing of events. If you want to stay close to Me and do things My way, ask Me to show you the path forward moment by moment. Instead of dashing headlong toward your goal, let Me set the pace. Slow down, and enjoy the journey in My Presence.

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? —Romans 8:31

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. —Psalm 46:1–3 nkjv

For nothing is impossible with God. —Luke 1:37

The insight that flowed this past week is in complete alignment with the execution of my course of action, DMP.  Today’s message is about letting go of my will for the execution of this plan and trusting God’s will to execute it more beautifully than my mind can even imagine.

Master Key 16 – This week I am meditating on Harmony and Happiness and so many good things bubble up inside of me and I can’t help but smile during this intentional quiet time.

16:6 With such an ideal in mind, the ways and means can and will be provided, but the mistake must not be made by substituting the means for the end.  There must be a definite fixed purpose, an ideal.

That ideal is what our members create called a DMP or Definite Major Purpose.

16:8 The power to create depends entirely upon spiritual power; there are three steps, idealization, visualization, and materialization.  Every captain of industry depends upon this power exclusively.

Once our members create their idealization (DMP) then we teach them how to systematically implant that visualization onto their subconscious mind so it can become their reality (materialization).

16:6 It is by the exercise of this power that we take our fate out of the hands of chance, and consciously make for ourselves the experiences which we desire, because when we consciously realize a condition, that condition will eventually manifest in our lives; it is therefore evident that in the last analysis thinking is the one great cause in life.

Lastly, our members this week are challenged to notice a random act of kindness or create one themselves and post about it in the Kindness Mastermind.  Our goal is to have them reach 4,000 kindness posts so that MarkJ will then pay it forward by hugging 300 ready, willing and able huggers ready to receive.

Peace, Love and Harmony to all.

There is something really special about reaching week 15 in the Master Key Experience journey.  Maybe it has something to do with your commitment to yourself to stay out of your resistance in pursuit of your hero’s journey.  Maybe it’s because you have completed 14 weeks of intentional meditation at this point.  Whatever the rationale when I reach week 15 and the assignment is meditating on Insight, it just flows wildly.

I have been raised knowing that prayer time is speaking to God and meditation time is listening to God.  I’m not even certain that in my family we called it “meditation”.  My recollection is we were told as kids to be quiet and listen and we will hear God speak to us.

This week I feel like this focused meditation time has increased my productivity as priorities were established during my daily Sit.  Even more special for me is that I executed on these priorities.  Yes!

“Today I begin a new life.  And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing retards my new life’s growth.” (Og Scroll 1)

“Nor I allow yesterday’s success to lull me into today’s complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.” (Og Scroll 3)

MarkJ refers to 15:26 as the “tipping point”.  These are self-evident facts, but the all-important truth that a thought containing principle is vital and therefore contains life and consequently takes root, and eventually but surely and certainly displaces the negative thoughts, which by their very nature can contain no vitality, is one which seems to have been overlooked.

15:30 For this reason Insight must be exercised so that the thought which we entertain contains no mental, moral or physical germ which we do not wish objectified in our lives. (i.e. Sacrifice expressed in positive words).

Franklin Makeover

This week’s assignment for MKMMA members is the Franklin Makeover created by none other than Benjamin Franklin.

Using the list of Virtues provided, you list them in order of what you require the most improvement in first down to the least area of improvement needed with the #2 spot on the list reserved for Kindness Week.

So #1 on my list is Self-Control.  I require exercising more self-control in certain areas of my life so I’m focusing on self-control for the first week.  So by focusing on self-control for a week, I will be able to identify, magnify and multiply my awareness and therefore effect change.

During week #2, which is Kindness Week, the members including guides will be posting acts of kindness either given or received into our Kindness Mastermind.  Our goal as a group is to reach 4,000 acts of kindness so that MarkJ will then give out 300 hugs to ready, willing and able huggers.  Pretty Cool!

This is the Law of Growth in action…”whatever I think about grows and what I forget atrophies without exception”.

Here is the balance of my Virtue list:

#3 – Specialized Knowledge

#4 – Well-Organized

#5 – Discipline

#6 – Persistence

#7 – Courage

#8 – Taking Initiative

#9 – Pleasing Personality

#10 – Imagination

#11 – Enthusiasm

#12 – Decisiveness

#13 – See God in Others – Our members focus on seeing God in others for the final week

Peace, Love and Harmony to all.

Please welcome this week’s guest blogger, Kay Beam.  Kay is part of my Master Key Experience tribe this year.  It’s been my pleasure to be her guide in this 26 week journey as I watch her grow, expand and challenge herself like possibly never before.  Please if you would take the time to read, like, comment and share her post.

Thank you so much and enjoy!

Noelle Suzanne is a very special friend and one of which I have yet the privilege of meeting in person.  Someday soon, I’m certain. Perhaps at the Master Key live event. We are both entrepreneurs building the same business model and we share a passion for helping others achieve freedom from time and financial constraints.

Her journey through the Master Keys is producing wonderful results in her life, so when you visit her blog I encourage you to take some additional time to follow, read and comment on her continuing journey.

Enjoy!

When I read the assignment for Master Key 11, I get fired up like a Pentecostal preacher.  Can I get an Amen!

11:22 – The fruit of this thought is, as it were, a gift of the gods, but a gift which few as yet realize, appreciate, or understand.  The recognition of the marvelous power which is possessed by the mind under proper conditions and the fact that this power can be utilized, directed, and made available for the solution of every human problem is of transcendental importance.

Every human problem…wow!

An excerpt from 11:34 reads,

“Whatsoever things ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them,”

Notice that there is no limitation, “Whatsoever things” is very definite and implies that the only limitation which is placed upon us is in our ability to think, to be equal to the occasion, to rise to the emergency, to remember that Faith is not a shadow, but a substance, “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

This deserves hashtags of:  #desirepraybelieveachieve  and #Mark11:24.

Peace, Love and Harmony to all.

Now about my guest blogger, Bill Kiefer, Bill has previously taken the Go90Grow course so he is no stranger to these principles when he received his scholarship to MKMMA.  Enjoy his Week #11 Blog post!

Week 11 – Persistence

This weeks lesson has been an eye opener! We discussed the concept of persistence and how it really applies to everyone, everyday. OF course, my pre-conceived idea of what persistence really is was completely shattered This is becoming an ongoing theme in this course!

One thing that Mark J keeps harping on is that most people look for guidance in slogans, books and seminars. The problem is that we all look for the quantum leap, seeing massive gains in all aspects in a few short days or weeks all because we read a book or attended a seminar. This idea of having quantum leaps applies to the “idea” of what words really mean. What I am trying to say is that we all have an idea as to what a word means and how we can apply that in our life, but through this course I am realizing this is the furthest thing from the truth.

This concept really applies to the word “persistence”. The biggest thing I have learned this week is that persistence means nothing if there is no ACTION attached to it! Most seem to think that persistence is the act of showing up, not quitting and staying the course. While that is partly true, not taking action is a passive activity. Being persistent is an active concept.  Just showing up and not quitting does absolutley nothing to get anyone closer to their goal. If we do not actively do the things needed to further our lives, we are just going through the motions and we might as well quit. The results will be the same.

Now I know that being persistent means showing up every day AND doing the activities that need to be done to grow. The activity is the most important part! Continuing to work hard and “mastering the mundane” leads to growth, there is no other way. Now, when I say I am being persistent, I can look at my activity and know that I am doing what I need to do to succeed.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and family in the U.S.  Way to go for staying on course and giving these exercises all you’ve got!  Celebrate YOU!

We have a week off from the Sunday webinar and a PIF week coming up in week 11.  Your 2^nd opportunity to pay it forward to next year’s class.

Reminder: Use the tools you received from your guide, keep them close to you.  I have a compass charm bracelet. I also have a compass necklace.  I also keep the compass and magnifying glass I received from my guide last year where I sit to read and do the exercises.  These tools are metaphors:

• Compass – Live by the compass, not the clock.  Your compass is your DMP.  Your roadmap for what your new reality looks like that you’re manifesting daily.
• Magnifying glass – Represents Focus. Be and stay laser focused on what you’re manifesting in your DMP and stay focused by your consistency in the exercises.

We can never talk enough about Enthusiasm.  It truly is the key to unlock your burning desire and your burning desire is oxygen for your soul.  Why do we talk about this every week?  It’s really that important.   If you’re reading your DMP in a monotone voice, do you think Subby will move fast or slow in bringing forth your goals?  When we are fueled with a burning desire to achieve our DMP our enthusiasm will be amped up and Subby will begin to move in your favor faster.

Reading the blueprint builder, your Dmp, a scroll from Og, the cards, all these exercises keep you focused on positive thoughts and build your burning desire.

The goal of the Mental Diet is to keep out the negative thoughts whereby you take “response ability” for your thoughts and actions.  You decide your response by leveraging the law of dual thought.  We can attach any feeling we desire to any thought.  Isn’t life grand!

Peace, Love and Harmony to all.

Leverage your Super Expressway & Master Key 9……..

This is one of my favorite weeks because as you may have read in my week 7 blog post, a year ago I leveraged the Health, Wealth and Love Affirmation in Master Key 9 to clear the negative intention of any illness in my physical body.  I repeated throughout the day –

I AM Whole, Perfect, Strong, Powerful, Loving, Harmonious and Happy.

As Haanel says in 9:24 – I built up an affirmation for myself, taking the qualities I most needed, and affirming for myself over and over again, “I AM whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.”  I kept up this affirmation, always the same, never varying, till I could wake up in the night and find myself repeating, “I AM whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.”  It was the last thing on my lips at night and the first thing in the morning.

He adds in 9:25 – Not only did I affirm it for myself, but for others that I knew needed it.  I want to emphasize this point. Whatever you desire for yourself, affirm it for others, and it will help you both.  We reap what we sow.  If we send out thoughts of love and health, they return to us like bread cast upon the waters; but if we send out thoughts of fear, worry, jealousy, anger, hate, etc., we wil reap the results in our own lives.

I’m grateful for the Master Key Experience and this affirmation so I could leverage it for my own health.

Now let’s talk about the super expressway we have in our minds.  It’s the communication between our left brain and right brain.  The left brain is commonly known as the analytical, logical part of our brain and the right brain is our creative side.  When you combine the shapes, colors, and the seven different ways that we learn into your DMP readings, the brain creates this super expressway of communication between the left and right brain.  When we emotionally charge all of this activity, it accelerates the creation of your DMP! BAM!!!

So is it worth the time investment to follow all the daily exercises you are asked to do in order to bring your dreams and goals into your reality…and faster than you ever imagined?  You bet it is!  This is why we write our SMART goals with an “on or before” date.  When you feed your Subby this information with unbridled enthusssssiasm J you fast forward your new reality.  In this fast-paced world that demands everything now…DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW!

Peace, Love and Harmony to all.

First of all, congratulations and celebrate yourself for showing up and not giving up!

Ok, on to week #8:

I’m not talking about yoga stretches here, I’m talking about staying true to these exercises and acknowledging your thoughts of “will this really work?” as your resistance, your old mental blueprint attempting to keep you right where you don’t want to be for the rest of your life.

You are guaranteed success if you follow this formula consistently every day as directed:

DMP + PMA + POA + MMA = SUCCESS!

Your Definite Major Purpose plus your Positive Mental Attitude plus your Plan of Action plus the Mastermind Alliance equals SUCCESS!

Just like you, there were times where I questioned whether everything I was doing on a daily basis was really making a difference. Knowing that I had to trust the process, not question it, I stuck to the formula.  As a graduate of this course you must know the answer is a resounding YES!  Yes this formula works and faster than anything you have ever attempted before.  So what was the outcome for me of staying true to these exercises?  Watch this video:

My fears that once kept me paralyzed from taking action in my business and really checking out on life were slipping away. I was no longer plagued with thoughts of self-judgment or thoughts of what others might be thinking of me.  A new sense of self-confidence started emerging.  And folks once that happens, it is game over on your DMP.  Keep doing these exercises and don’t stop.  Embrace the journey!

When I watch this video with Kevin Spacey, it just fires up my heart and amplifies my burning desire for the achievement of my Definite Major Purpose.
