DIABETIC L.I.F.E.

Motivation for Diabetics

2009-01-16T11:04:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,

As you all know I am trying to get this program off the ground and as with anything new it is hard. The one thing that I have been seeing over the past few months and just more so recently, since I just joined are the people like myself with diabetes that have to find motivation daily to keep going. It isn't just diabetics that have this problem but since I am focused on that right now I will spend a great deal of time writing this blog and motivational ideas for us.

I was diagnosed in September with type 2 diabetes. Since then it has been one thing after another with medication problems to the point where I am now insulin dependent. It isn't the worst or the best, it is something that I may have to live with for years or it could change. One thing I have found is that the community of us with diabetes is strong. Stronger than I have ever seen in communities. So with that I feel that adding to the web sites and blogs that are out there already will be a good addition and not repetition.

Motivation comes from the heart and soul and only you can find your true motivation. Others can tell you and try to teach you theirs but you are your own person and until you find what motivates you from your heart and soul all the teachers in the world cannot keep you motivated for long. It is not an easy thing either to find that motivation. One day it's there, the next it disappeared. Amazing thing, motivation.

The main idea of GET L.I.F.E. is to not only help you find motivation but then harness it and keep it going. It is designed to help you learn what is deep down inside and how that feeling will keep you motivated even in the worst of times. How it can help you to work with others and teach them how they can do that also.

I feel that everyone can benefit from this so it needs to be taught or discussed with everyone you can think of. It doesn't matter their situation, they can use it in some way.

I turned this organization into a non-profit for a reason. I want it out there for everyone to learn, teach and enjoy and get all the benefits that come with GET L.I.F.E.

So my writings in this blog will be of interests to all but they will be slanted towards diabetics. Also I am starting a new group this weekend for business leaders with diabetes to work with young adults who also have diabetes so they can see what can be done in this world even with diabetes.

Hope you enjoy the new blogging.

It's Time To Get Going !

2008-12-28T19:40:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a great and wonderful Christmas. The New Year is fast upon us and I am sure many of you are planning your New Year resolutions right now as I type this.

Well that's great and I want you to know that I am here to make those resolutions come through for you.

Every year I talk to people who start off the New Year with a handful of resolutions only to quit some a few weeks into the New Year and then lose site of the others over time. It isn't that they want too, it is because it happens. Why? Great Question. One that has been answered in different way over the years.

The one answer that has always stuck out for me and the one answer I address when teaching classes is this, do not start on a date that has something else tied to it. For example, mostly everyone that starts something on January 1st fails. Why? Not sure. Almost everyone that starts a diet on a Monday or quits smoking on a Monday fails.

I have always asked in my classes when I am working on the goal setting aspect this, where is a calendar that states that Monday is National Quit Smoking Day or National Diet Start Day?

My answer is I haven't see one yet and we never will

You don't need to start on a Monday or the 1st of January or the whatever date you want. You should get up, maybe it's a Friday or Sunday (like I did today) and say hey, I'll start today. I'll sit down get my goals together on how to do this but I am starting today. Expectation is over with. No regrets, no nervousness for the days prior to starting.

Psychologically when you plan something for the future that is changing your habits or anything major in your life, the anticipation is crazy. It can cause such anxiety that you fail before you begin.

So please just try it. Just pick a different day than usual. Pick something other than the 1st of January. Pick something other than a Monday. Then let me know the difference it makes.

Hello everyone. Well here's a new look and I am trying some new ideas with the blog. Hope you like them?

Just for your information the title above is all set to redirect you to the TRANSFORMATION web site if you want. Just click and away you go.

Over the years I have tried many ways to keep my wight down and stay healthy. The only way I found that worked for me once was when I was introduced to a book called Body For Life by Bill Phillips. I did great following that book.

Now Bill has started an online community called Transformations and it is fantastic. I am encouraging everyone I know to join and try out the challenge. Not just to win but to get healthy in all ways.

I am always speaking or writing about self-motivation and his site and series is fantastic and helps you to become self-motivated for all the healthy reasons. I am also going to personally make sure that everyone I talk to in starting my project is told about his site and subscibes to his site for some real valuable information and help.

So please take the time and check it out. It will be worth your while.

"So This Is Christmas"

2008-12-20T19:25:00.000-08:00

Great words from a GREAT SINGER, John Lennon.

That's how I feel this year with all that is going on. Christmas just doesn't have that feel this year. My Finacee and I were noticing today that even he local radio stations hadn't been playing much Christmas music lately and I said well maybe they just don't have the spirit this year either.

Many people I have talked to feel the same way and that is why I decided to work on getting Managing Your Dynamic LIFE out there for free. It bothered me to see so many people feeling down and out, feeling blah, as they say. Not to say that I can change the world in a day or a year or a lifetime, but we need to start someplace.

I tired of hearing there is no hope, there is nothing I can do. There is so much that can be done and should be done. I have to admit that last week I was at my end with health issues. Between a severe heart problem causing trouble and new health concerns I saw the end clearly. Then today I was sitting around thinking of all that I want to do for people and what I talked about last week and the week before and said to myself the heck with this I am going to get motivated and get it done.

Here I am trying to get people to help and I was ready to check out on everyone, but there is hope, there is faith, and it can be done. I know it and feel it.

I want this for so many people and I am only one but I am starting this week by handing out flyers to get things off the ground. I am trying to get some media outlets interested so I can gain some exposure to help. I will do what I have to, to make this work. It feels good.

So if you can join me and feel the good I feel. It can't hurt.

Thanks

Mark

This Is The Season!

2008-12-12T03:07:00.000-08:00

There are people out there that can make a difference but I need to find them. With you guys helping me we can make a difference in many lives, both adults and children. I need help though to make this happen in the right way.

I am working on a web site to get the word out but it is taking time. I am making phone calls to the media outlets but I need support. Call the local stations in Fresno California and tell them about this. If that is all you do for this task that would be great.

I have contacted Ken Malloy a local Newscaster but he needs to be called more and contacted sp he knows this can happen.

Everyone needs to believe in this since I know it can happen.

Lets change the world one person at a time, NOW!

Thanks

Mark

Thoughts!

2008-12-11T20:46:00.000-08:00

Anyone who has ever tried MLM's knows that most of the time 90% of the money goes to the people above. I have looked at this statistic over and over nd have seen it for myself. Al it does for the little guy is cost money for them to buy product and keep going. Well I am tired of that,

When I designed this program, to be honest I wanted to make money off of it and that is all I thought about. Right now I am going through the hardest time with my family financially like everyone else. I am also going through some serious health issue that have cause me to do some thinking.

The thoughts that have come out is this...I need to give to the people. I need to help as many people as I can. This is not some religious realization. God know I am not the religious type. I believe but I am lapsed whatever. What I know is that there are many people in trouble and I can't help them all and neither can you, especially financially. The one thing we can do is help them cope. We can help them learn to get motivated in hard times. Set goals andover come any obstacle with confidence. To do that they need to be trained and tis program will do that with the help of many.

I will do my best to get this out to one and all but I need help. I want to help the home less, the drug addicts, the gang members, and anyone else that just wants to feel better. THe businessmen who have given up. The house wives that are frustrated. The kids who have given up. The sick whether adults or kids. Basically anyone and everyone in the US.

I know it is a big task but I plan to do this as best I can. If I have felt, well that will make my job easier.

Today I contacted the local media to try and get them to help me get the word out. Hopefully they will help. If you can contact Ken Malloy at the CBS/47 station in Fresno California and tell him you read this it may help get me some publilcity from them. If not I will keep working to find someone to help.

Even if you can't help but you know someone that can let me know. If you have someone that will help me get the word out I can use the help. Whether it a church Pastor or anyone that is willing to listen to my plan I would appreciate it.

All I can say is PLEASE HELP!

Thanks

Mark

Fell Free to contact me here about more information.

More Layoffs!!!!!

2008-12-11T17:30:00.000-08:00

I was just reading that Bank of America is laying off 35,000 workers. Here it is Christmas and all these companies keep doing is laying off people. More people depressed as well as more families. More families will not be having a better Christmas. Not that this program will give them that but it will give them the strength to get through it,, and into the next year. It doesn't end at Christmas. This goes on for a while and we need to help everyone we can in any way.

PLEASE join in and help me try to make a difference in some lives.

Thanks

Mark

Where are the PEOPLE who CARE!

2008-12-11T17:22:00.000-08:00

I am really disappointed! Where are the people who care? where are the people who want to make a difference? Where are the people who want changes for the better?

Here I am ready to start this project and I can't get people to respond! I am ready to move on and I am trying. I have signed up 3 people since I started this, but 3 people isn't enough. Come on I know you are out there. It isn't going to cost anything but time and talk. Get people inspired, get people motivated, get people involved.

I am planning on filing this as best I can but I could use someone who know what they are doing.

I am planning on getting to the kids that are homeless. Getting to the people that are homeless. Granted this isn't money or clothing or anything else but it will help them in its own way.

Why not be part of something that could be great? What have you got to loose?

So contact me and let's get going.

Thanks

Mark

TIS THE SEASON?

2008-12-07T23:31:00.000-08:00

"TIS THE SEASON!"

Well all I can do is hope everyone agrees that this year, especially, it is the season to give. I am not the most religious person nor the richest, but I do believe in giving. I do believe in many cases that it is better to give then to receive. At this time, with the world and many living in it looking at economic disaster I believe it is time to give to others. It doesn't have to be money or anything monetary just some guidance, love, and support. My aim is to get this program out to the masses as I said. To get it to people who need to know they can make a difference in not only their lives but the lives of many. As I said I am not religious and this program isn't but it can be. It is generic for you to use as you see fit. All I have done is designed the framework of a program that will make a difference it many lives and I want to share it. There is no hidden agenda or fees. It is about giving, giving, and giving more. I want to make changes for the good in as many people as I can this year starting now and going on for years to come. The time to start is now and I need help. Help with the web site, since I am not the best at that. I need help getting the word out and setting up the organization in the manner I described. Basically I need help all around.

Are you willing to give? Are you ready to make a change in someone else's life as well as your own? If yes then join me now.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ONE AND ALL!

Mark

What We Need!

2008-11-24T22:54:00.000-08:00

What we are trying to do is going to be monumental if we get it going. The dream is in place and some people have signed on but I need more to make an impact. The more people the larger the network the more lives we can change.

With everything going on in this country the way it is this is the best time to start this. Changes are brewing with the new administration but we need to help and build this dream into reality.

It can happen if everyone makes a commitment.

I need your help! The people of this world need your help! WE can do this now and make a difference.

LOOKING FOR PEOPLE & IDEAS !

2008-11-19T22:25:00.000-08:00

I have spent the past month thinking and researching a new concept to Managing Your Dynamic L.I.F.E.

After getting involved in the past with some MLM companies as well as recently and finding out they are still all about greed, I have decided to set up a different kind of MLM.

My plan with others is to take Managing Your Dynamic L.I.F.E. to the streets, to people all over as well as business and this is how. The plan is to build a Multi-Level - Life Networking concept to be known as ML2N.

The way I have set the company up so far is simple. We are going to build an ML2N not based on money but based on people. The more people that someone signs up and helps get advanced. The rewards are simple. THE CHANGE YOU HAVE MADE IN SOMEONES LIFE.

As I said, there is no money to be made only the knowledge that you have helped people. Advancement is based on the Multi-Level system. Advancement is based not only on the number of people who someone has signed up but on how many they have helped. Even if you help one person you have made a difference.

So I am on a recruiting drive. This needs to start now. With so many people out of work and looking for something to do or to make them feel good. We will accept donations to the cause and use those donations as ways to pay for the books, training of staff and traveling expenses of people who have signed on and are making a difference.

If you want to know more then let me know, I'll be glad to go on and on about the plan. I want to take this all over the world and show all of these MLM's out there that MONEY doesn't have to be the only motivator.

Looking forward to everyone signing on.

Sincerely,

Mark

New Blog

2008-08-26T00:14:00.000-07:00

I am planning on starting a new blog dealing with the components of the book I am writing. The book is about my program and gives the reader a more in depth understanding of the philosophy of my life, how it helped me to write and develop this program and what I feel will help you to find success.

I hope you enjoy the new site. I will post the name tomorrow.

By the way. the adds on this page are for people and companies I believe in and trust. I trust Success University and its business philosophy enough to have become a member and possible instructor in the future. I look forward to working with others on this exciting opportunity.

MOTIVATION

2008-08-13T23:39:00.000-07:00

One of the most asked questions I hear is, how do I get motivated? What do I have to do to get motivated?

Some people rely on all of these motivational speakers. Now I am not saying they don't help, because they do. For years I went to seminars, bought tapes, now compact discs. I spent weekends listening over and over to all of these speakers who are the best at motivating people.

The one common thread that I found at least in my life was that the more I listened and tried their system the more I failed. As I talked to others over the years I found the same with them. Then there were the ones who did succeed from these lectures but after speaking with them to see what they did different I found out the truth. They did nothing different than I did. The only thing different between me, them and the motivator was that they had the same personality as the speaker, whoever they listened to.

So after that revelation I started to look for speakers who I identified with or who I felt I had the most in common with. that worked at first, but after a few months the system failed again. That's when it hit me between the eyes.

I am not like anyone else. I am my own person and I need to figure out what is inside me that will motivated me to succeed. That is how Managing Your Dynamic L.I.F.E. came about.

I have been offered deals from INFOmercial companies to sell-out to them and go on television and sell my system like others. I declined! Why you may ask? Wouldn't I have made more money if I did that? Of course I would have but then it would take away from what I believe.

It would have taken away from the core of this program, which is to find inside of you what is motivation to you. What will get you motivated every day for the rest of your life.

So my idea was not to sell motivation or goal setting or time management or any other part of my workbook.

My system sells you on you.

My system gets you to buy into you not me or anyone else.

My system makes you succeed because of you and no one else.

So I wrote the workbook. Designed the lectures and the coaching sessions and am writing a companion book now, but the workbook is ready and the coaching lessons as well as the lectures are ready.

This system works for anyone and any company. No matter what you do or where you work this system works.

Individuals and companies can benefit. Homemakers and employees can benefit. Doctors and lawyers can benefit. Everyone can benefit if they want.

This blog is for giving you the beginning to Managing Your Dynamic L.I.F.E. because everyone has a DYNAMIC LIFE and everyone deserves a DYNAMIC LIFE if they don't have one.

To be honest I haven't met a person who doesn't have a DYNAMIC LIFE one way or another. Positive or negative everyone has a DYNAMIC LIFE. It is how you manage it that makes it all worth while.

Everyone can succeed on their own terms. They just need to define those terms and get motivated in meeting those terms. This blog hopes to do that through my writings and your comments.

By the way there are no short cuts nor any tricks to this system. It just works because you want it to work!

Good luck and stay in touch and lets get going.

Mark

Something To Think About

2008-08-04T00:37:00.000-07:00

In designing Managing Your Dynamic L.I.F.E. one of the things I considered was what would be the best way to get a certain point across about being successful. There were many to consider and more to use and write about, but the more I read what was out there, they were all the same and still not getting to the point. There were new age slogans and ideas and some old school ideas out there, but nothing hit me or grabbed my attention. So I spent a few weeks thinking over and over what mad people successful and it came down to this. The people that I know who have been successful also have been failures and after talking to them as well as looking at my successes and failures here is what it comes down to.

What makes you a failure also makes you a success. It is called the P.O.P. Factor. Of course this is my name for it but here it is broken down:

P-PERSISTENCE

O-ORGANIZATION

P-PRIORITIES

When you follow these three principle in a positive way you will be successful. On the other hand if you follow these principles in a negative way you will fail.

So when I open this program I always get people thinking about the P.O.P. factor and how it has affected their lives, whether for the good or the bad.

So I ask you to consider these principles and let me know if they have worked for you either way.

Talk To You Soon,

Mark

Here We Go Again! or Being Persistent to Win!

2008-07-16T23:18:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone,

I am trying hard to get this right. I have changed the title numerous times. Just when I think I have it right I think of something new. Right now the new title is Managing Your Dynamic L.I.F.E.

It seems to fit for the moment.

I may be looking for other options in the future and even have everyone give me some ideas after they have read some of the work.

I have been trying to think of the best way to present this program on this blog. I am used to giving a presentation in person and hen answering questions. This will be different but doable I believe.

All I can ask is a lot of understanding from all of you reading this blog and also suggestions on how to make it better.

So I plan to get this blog up and running correctly Monday. I am also planning a pod cast presented on I Tunes if I can get it ready for Monday. If not it will happen soon. I will keep you informed.

Hope everyone is well and I will be writing to you all soon.

Thanks

Mark

Revamping!

2008-06-23T22:41:00.001-07:00

Sorry for the delay in getting this information out to everyone. I am in the middle of revamping the entire program and would rather post in with the corrections.

As you know I will post pieces of the entire book on this blog, but readers will have the option of contacting me for the entire book.

Let me know as you read on.

Be Well

Mark

Back To Basics!

2008-05-05T22:42:00.000-07:00

Well it's been a long time since I posted on this blog but it is time to renew and revive.

I have changed the course of Dynamic Life in many ways. First off is the name. It is now Dynamic Management For Your L.I.F.E. I am keeping the tag line Lessons In Future Excellence.

The content is pretty much the same. I have added a few new items including e-mail and internet coaching sessions. I believe this will help get everyone going faster and staying on track.

I plan to post weekly and bring up new topics that are studied through the course. I have the workbook ready to go and it is available to the public. I am now working on the book to go along but that will take some time. Actually I would really like to write the book as I get people involved so I have real life stories to relate too.

So if you are interested I have set up the e-mail address again. It is dynamiclifemanagement@yahoo.com

Feel free to write and ask more about the program.

Watch for the new post by Friday!

Be Well Till Then

Mark

TIME TO GET MOTIVATED

2005-08-15T22:02:00.000-07:00

Okay let's begin.

One of the things that I have found in the past is that we are not asked enough times in our lifetime what motivates us.

We need to look deep inside and see what gets us going. It isn't as simple as it sounds. Sometimes it may take hours or longer just to get a handle on what really motivates us to do things.

Reaching goals is about motivation. This program concentrates a great deal on setting goals but after you find the motivation to do so.

At the beginning of the class the first few questions deal with you finding that motivation. Before you can go on you need to find what will sustain you throughout the class. Otherwise you will feed off of me and that isn't what it is about.

If I wanted that I could get paid like these motivational speakers, which I have been offered to do but don't believe in that philosophy. I want people to motivate themselves! It is okay to listen to me and use me as a guide, but I am not your motivation, you are. Remember that.

What motivates me doesn't motivate you. These speakers get up on a stage and tell you how they became successful. Like Tony Robbins who claims has a resort in the Fiji islands. That's great, but he has it thanks to all of the people who go to his seminars and keep going because they need his motivation like they need a drug.

You want to know the truth? You only need yourself to succeed in life, but first you have to find that motivation.

So before you go to bed tonight or during the day tomorrow, prior to my next posting, ask yourself this question.

WHAT MOTIVATES ME AND HOW?

Tomorrow we will talk a little more about finding that motivation and using it.

The Beginning

2005-08-14T15:49:00.000-07:00

This is my first time using a BLOG and I hope it helps to increase awareness of the program that I am trying to promote.

I have just moved to California this past week and am now setting up house. So be patient with me while I add new thoughts on this BLOG. I am still getting use to this.

What you are about to see over the next few days is a sample of a program I wrote called Dynamic L.I.F.E. Management and My L.I.F.E.

The acronym for L.I.F.E. is Lessons In Future Excellence

The original program DLM was written to help people with self-motivation. After attending all of these motivational seminars I found what was lacking was that these speakers want you to do it their way not your way. Well we are not like the speakers. So, hence in a few weeks we are looking for that motivation again. All we really needed is to find our own motivation and use it to its fullest.

So after working in sales training for the past 15 years I developed this program which helps you find the self-motivation within to help you in life and work.

I have also written this program for young adults in grades 7 through 12. Using the same guidelines as the adult version with some added segments.

The program worked best as a lecture/discussion session. The workbook is full of questions waiting to be answered by the participant.

Through this blog I am going to try and get public opinion about the program. Also write a few of the lessons for people to try.

For the past 6 years the program has been run in the Federal Prison system for inmates who were looking to change their lives. I also ran it as a free seminar to the public and it became a highly successful program for many people. It helped with weight loss, organization of lives, setting goals that were realistic and general motivation. It helped some groups with with weight training and some with employment issues at the workplace. So it has proven to be an all around program that you design.

I plan to offer this program to schools, corporations, the public sector, and drug rehabilitation centers, through a non-profit organization that I am setting up in California. There may also be a need for it with children and adults with disabilities. That is yet to be tried.

I hope you enjoy what you are about to read and feel free to comment on the nature of the program.
Thanks
