Where Conversations develope "an I can attitude"

To Nurish Body, Mind and Soul. To build your life your way as you see it not  someone else thinks it should be.

Never let anyones opinion of you determan who you are going to be in this world or how you are going to get their. It's your life and your decision to make, no one elses.

The Power Of Your Words 

Strength In Conversations

Dreams are made to be lived.

No matter how advanced technology becomes, how rapid it grows, or how powerful it gets.
It will never be as powerful as a single smile.

We all have the ability to survive our mistakes once we believe in our Dreams, our direction, ourselves.

If living your Dream Lifestyle was an absolute, everyone would be living their Dream Lifestyle.
But in reality Dream Lifestyles are only to be lived by those who are willing to risk failure on every level of their life.
So have an awesome day and don't forget to take risks even if they are small.

Repeat after me: Imagine, explore, believe, build, dream, define, enhance, improve, question, laugh, celebrate, live, rejoice, continue, reach, design, ajust, rebuild, discuss, insire, challenge, fufill, expand, influence, excellence, passion, spirit, fun, ignite, explode, and burst into this world with every fiber of your being and realize that the only way you can fail at anything is to quit.

When you are willing to Dream the Dreams you need to Dream, So that you can Do the things you need to Do, That is when you will live the life you want to live.

Live, Laugh, Love, Rejoice, Celebrate

No Regret, No Retreat, No Surrender

Einstein On Compound Interest (Rule Of 72) 

The ninth wonder of the world

Einstein On Compound Interest (Rule Of 72)

Albert Einstein considered compound interest to be the ninth wonder of the world. He was also credited with popularizing compound interest by introducing this simple mathematical equation.

Rule 72

72 divided by interest rate return = # of years it takes for your money to double. For example:

Lets say that you had a $100 and you were earning 10% interest, then all you would have to do is take the number 10 and divide it into the number 72. So it would look like this.

10 divided into 72 = 7.2
It would take 7.2 years for your $100 to become $200.

If you were earning 6%
6 divided into 72 = 12
It would take 12 years for your $100 to become $200

and now 4%
4 divided into 72 = 18
It would take 18 years for your $100 to become $200
and so on.

If you're earning 1% interest on your savings account:
1 divided into 72 = 72
It would take 72 years for your $100 to become $200

By the way, the Rule of 72 applies to anything that grows, including population.

It also can be used for anything that is declining , as long as you know the % rate it is declining at.

Ok, so lets talk more about Rule 72, and compounding interest.

The banks and large corporations use compounding interest to increase profits everyday. How do they do it?

Take your credit cards for instance. If you pay 15% interest on your credit cards, the amount you owe will double in only or 4.8 years!
15 divided into 72 = 4.8

No wonder they are constantly sending everyone credit cards in the mail, and all of the large corporations are starting their own credit bureaus.

Then add late charges on top of that and they're make'n some serious cash.

I think Einstein said it best when he said:

Compound interest is the greatest mathematical discovery of all time.

Now my question is this? If it is considered the greatest mathematical discovery of all time and the ninth wonder of the world by one of the greatest minds in the world and the banks and the largest corporations in the world use it to increase their profits everyday, don't you think it would be important for us to know about it, and how it works?

Then why on earth are we not taught this valuable lesson in school?
Could it be that they just don't want us to know?

PS. It truely is a heads up world. So lets be careful out there. Awareness is everything.

Dreams Do Not Retire Even If You Do 

So How Will You Live Beyond That?

When you are done reading this small article would you Please do me a favor and write down or think about the first thing that comes to mind.

There are many who believe they are not worthy of anything, let alone something.

Since we live in a world of opposites; day/night, hot/cold, love/hate, etc., the duality of life says you can not be in this world without creating something you do want or something you don't want.

So the great question is are you creating the something in your life that you want?

Write down or think about the first thing that came to mind when you read the question above. Let me ask it again.

Are you creating the something in your life that you want?

If Not, Why Not?

Lets talk fufillment
Lets talk involvement
Lets talk setting new goals

There is power in your words. So remember when you use them use them wisely because your etheir drawing the things you want in your life towards you, or pushing them away.

Building your Dream Lifestyle is both a private journey and a public statement.

Action even if it is wrong, will always dominate evey word spoken.

Will your money run out before you do.

This is what Dream Builders do. They are determined to make their days here count. They always dig deep even on the easy days so that they can stay focused on their Dreams.
