			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.kirknugent.com/kirkvision/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/16-ps01-7pay-attention-posters.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="16-PS01-7~Pay-Attention-Posters" src="http://www.kirknugent.com/kirkvision/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/16-ps01-7pay-attention-posters-thumb.jpg" width="318" height="238" /></a>&#160;</p>
<p>In order to manifest the best, there are three things that we need to be mindful of: Our Intention, our Attention and the last is No Tension (our level of stress). What I really want to focus on is attention and the reason why it is so important. Teachers, parents and other authoritarians would insist that we &#8220;Pay attention&#8221;. They never said &#8220;give&#8221; your attention to something, they said for you to &#8220;pay&#8221; attention because attention always costs something. </p>
<p>Remember your last relationship, the one that didn&#8217;t work out. Remember when you first met and started dating. The person you cared about got all of your attention; you picked up the phone on the first ring; if you were on another call when theirs came in, you got rid of the other person on the line; if, God forbid, you missed their call you called back immediately! You went to the movies, held hands and you&#8217;d be on the phone at end of night engaged in nonsensical conversation just to show them that they&#8217;ve &#8216;captured&#8217; your attention.. When the relationship began to fade, one of the first thing that went out the door was your attention. Now when the phone rings, you let it go to voicemail; instead of calling you send a text; before you would call back immediately when you missed their calls, now several hours (even days) passed before you gave your attention to the matter. Eventually, the relationship dies. </p>
<p>Attention is like sunlight, whatever you place in its path, it causes to grow, bloom and flourish. If there is anything in your life that you want to see flourish and prosper, simply give it more attention. If you want a raise on your job, be more attentive to the needs of your employer. Spend time considering how to reduce the stress level on the job, how to improve customer relations ect. If it&#8217;s better health that you desire focus your attention on the food that you&#8217;re putting in your body, give more attention to exercising and getting the proper amount of rest.</p>
<p>However most Americans are almost incapable of focused attention because we&#8217;ve ALLOWED our attention to be manipulated. Focused attention is the source of our power yet we&#8217;ve willingly given it away only to complain that we feel so powerless. Ironic isn&#8217;t it? Not so long ago the major topic on television was healthcare. Every blog, every Facebook update and Twitter conversation included the same rhetoric that the public was been spoon fed. For some strange reason, the majority of Americans seemed to be obsessed with healthcare. We then moved on to public option, and once again America went down the path that was paved for them. Soon we became bored with public options so we were given the President and his Nobel Peace Prize, and now we&#8217;re talking about Tiger Woods. </p>
<p>Whatever the media puts on the front page, that&#8217;s what we give our attention to and you can&#8217;t give your &#8220;undivided&#8221; attention to more than one thing at one time. With your attention being spread among all of these &#8216;compelling stories&#8217; the most important things aren&#8217;t getting your <b>undivided attention</b>. Before you know it, years go by and you haven&#8217;t achieved your goals, because they became secondary. You have given more time and attention to Tiger than your priorities. So in two years you will be able to recall everything that went down in Tiger&#8217;s marriage but you will not be able to recall where the time went.</p>
<p>Scattering your attention, allowing yourself to be seduced by headlines which are not conducive to your goals, can never be the ingredients in a recipe for success. Get a journal, start a scrapbook and start giving attention to outlining your goals. They should be the last thing you think about when you go to bed, and the first things on your mind when you wake up. Your attention is the source of your power, FOCUS and MANIFEST. All the best.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>2009 = 2000 (MIND)</b></p>
<p><b>&#8220;Our income is determined by our philosophy and not the economy.&#8221;</b></p>
<p><b>Jim Rohn</b></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p>2008 was an excellent year! Well if you&#8217;re watching the news and listening to the world reports, chances are you might not agree, but I believe that any year above ground is an excellent year. In 2008 I had some great opportunities for growth or what the uninitiated would refer to as challenges or problems. I am happy to report that I am still here, sexier than ever and looking forward to the blessings of 2000 (MIND).</p>
<p>Yes, as far as I am concern, this is the year of the Mind. Everything begins with thought, and thoughts are formulated and focused in the mind. So for 2000(MIND) I am going to get into the specifics of how to manifest your ideal life by focusing on your thoughts. In 2000(MIND) we will get away from all this economic bailout, downsizing, unemployment and the fear based ideas that they&#8217;ve been pumping into us. This year we will focus on great health and great wealth.</p>
<p>For the past six months I&#8217;ve been conversing with some of the most brilliant MINDS on the Planet and I will show you how to really create some dynamic shift in what you&#8217;re presently manifesting. Chances are I&#8217;ll be doing most of my blogging by video, this way we can get a lot more information out to you in a shorter amount of time. </p>
<p>Stay tune, stay focused and prepare to prosper. </p>
<p>Much love,</p>
<p>Kirk Nugent</p>
<p>P.S</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve posted the video, &#8220;I No Longer Write About Depression&#8221; just to give you an idea of how far I&#8217;ve traveled and to let you know that EVERYTHING is possible! One thing that I&#8217;ve come to understand over the years is that you don&#8217;t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started in order to be great! I intend to see you at the TOP! Live long and prosper&#8230;.Happy New Year to ALL and to ALL a Happy New Year.</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>They say of every bunch, there&#8217;s one that makes you weep,</p>
<p>And of my family, I AM THAT BLACK SHEEP!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t subscribe to their schools,</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t abide by their rules.</p>
<p>I know that my mind is my jewel</p>
<p>So I refuse to work like a mule</p>
<p>In someone else&#8217;s quest for wealth, I am no tool!</p>
<p>I know that my thought is what I brought</p>
<p>I sow what I reap</p>
<p>Therefore I am proud to be the Black sheep!</p>
<p>The Black sheep dares to be different so he chooses to think,</p>
<p>In negativity he doesn&#8217;t allow his thoughts to sink.</p>
<p>The Black Sheep wants more than to be lead by a shepherd,</p>
<p>He wants to choose his destiny, he demands to be heard.</p>
<p>He lives in the moment with all the gusto that he can,</p>
<p>The Black Sheep ignores the limitations set by man.</p>
<p>The Black sheep knows that in order to grow he has to risk something,</p>
<p>So he leaves the flock and he searches with in!</p>
<p>When he left he realizes that to another level he has grown,</p>
<p>It took blood, sweat and tears to break the barriers of his comfort zone!</p>
<p>He visualize his mind as a garden, so constantly he weeds,</p>
<p>Because the garden is kept clean, his horizon recedes.</p>
<p>The Black sheep sees life, but not through the shepherd&#8217;s eyes</p>
<p>He doesn&#8217;t fear the test, because he knows that he was born to testify,</p>
<p>So he watches; watches as the other sheep try to justify,</p>
<p>Their mediocre lives and minds that have been deprived,</p>
<p>They&#8217;re obsequious to their boss and condescending to their wives.</p>
<p>They play the game without ever questioning the rules,</p>
<p>You call them sheep, I call them a flock of fools!</p>
<p>The Black sheep question the rules, </p>
<p>He&#8217;s not enclosed by the shepherd&#8217;s fence.</p>
<p>If the shepherd is always right, then why was he given a conscience?</p>
<p>The Black sheep dares to be different, so he chooses to exercise his mind,</p>
<p>The Black sheep is a rare creature, the rarest of mankind!</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!!!!!</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“The dog in the kennel barks at his fleas,<br />
The dog that hunts does not feel them.”<br />
Chinese Proverb</p>
<p>Have you noticed that people who are actively engage in pursuing their passion are seldom distracted by the little thorns of life? On Saturday my son flew from West Palm Beach to New Jersey. This is the beginning of his summer vacation and he was excited about spending time with his grandmother and cousins. He had a connecting flight in Charlotte, North Carolina. Upon his arrival in Charlotte, his connecting flight was delayed for twelve hours. He periodically texted me (have you notice that kids don’t talk anymore, they text?) to let me know the status of his flight. <a href="http://www.kirknugent.com/kirkvision/2008/06/16/delayed-but-not-denied/#more-37" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p>Life is staring me down, Like Malcolm Gladwell waiting for me to blink</p>
<p>Everything is on the line and in this game of nerves, I’m trying hard not to flinch.</p>
<p>And just then I stop and think</p>
<p>That by the yard it’s hard, but inch by inch everything is a cinch.</p>
<p>And just by memorizing that one line, that one little rhyme</p>
<p>I’ve come to realize that the most effective way to eat an elephant</p>
<p>Is one bite at a time.</p>
<p>So I don’t have to be on point</p>
<p>No, not every day from June right back until May</p>
<p>All I have to do is manage my decisions…just for today</p>
<p>Just for today</p>
<p>I will prepare for my future</p>
<p>Because I know you either get good at sowing in the spring</p>
<p>Or begging in the winter</p>
<p>So today I’m keeping it moving like a marching band drummer</p>
<p>Because I know there will come a time when winter will ask</p>
<p>What have you been doing all summer? <a href="http://www.kirknugent.com/kirkvision/2008/06/08/just-for-today/#more-36" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p>Robert Louis Stevenson</p>
<p>Sometime ago I wrote a blog explaining that our thoughts are manifesting much faster than they used to. The magnetic fields of the Earth have been reduced and now thoughts are coming back at rapid speed. Not only are thoughts retuning to us and we’re meeting the ‘Word’ as ‘Flesh’ but Karma is returning at lightning speed. <a href="http://www.kirknugent.com/kirkvision/2008/05/30/consequence-is-no-coincidence/#more-35" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p>For the past month, I&#8217;ve felt an overwhelming need to clean out my closet. Not that it was filled with junk, just a little disorganized, and I had quite a few items of clothing that I no longer wear. Yesterday, I finally put my schedule on hold and spent most of the afternoon cleaning and re-organizing my closet.</p>
<p>I was able to pack some stuff away into a couple of Glad Garbage Bags and called the Salvation Army to come and retrieve the contents because they no longer served me and I am sure they would be useful to someone else.</p>
<p>The process didn&#8217;t take too long and it wasn&#8217;t a tedious effort, but I guess that I procrastinated for a month because I knew that the &#8216;cleaning of my closet&#8217; was a symbolic move for what needed to be done in my life. There are a few people in my life that no longer serve me, they&#8217;ve become the emotional clutter that was stored away in the closet and I decided that now is the best time to &#8220;make the cut&#8221;.</p>
