There is Nothing Like a Powerful Visual

Wow. This is compeling and moving. If you know of a teen who is struggling with the pull of the temptation send this clip to them. If you know an old person who is struggling with the pull of temptation, send this to them as well, just make sure they turn the speakers up a bit louder!! :) I will resume the message of Finding Your Groove Monday. Watch this clip then pass it on! http://www.ksbj.org/eblogs/afternoonShow/?p=86

First Things First- getting started on the road to a better life...

Well, in my opinion at least...there are a lot of directions to go here. I am not even sure, as I write this, that most will agree with me here, but...Since there are many differing opinions, let's just think this through... What do we need to have most of all to get started on this road to "total-life profitablilty". Now let me clear up that I am not speaking on wealth or cash necessarily, although our time and creativity has a serious value to it- It is what we do that creates assumed value in society (and in the wallet). But let's move ahead. You need to do work through the quest and soul-searching I am calling in my new book "Finding Your Groove". You need to find your groove- who am I, what am I supposed to do? Basic questions, right? But because of our busy lives most will die never finding their groove. Most of us are overwhelmed with life and "making a living". We are too busy to stop and think.. but that is WRONG. Most kids want to run past there youth where foundational ideas like "purpose", "responsibility", and a Biblical world view used to be stressed and head right into 'adulthood". If you want to have kids right away (or at least want to have sex which, duh, can and usually does lead to having kids) then you never find your groove because now you have to just "feed the family" and you miss the foundational building process. "Traditional" home-life is rare- and if you are a parent today, that is your greatest battle, but KEEP IT UP, and if your home is a mess, then stop and get things straightened out. Because if you don't put the brakes on your life and your family it now has to be built with additional stresses and pressures. Some of you adults reading this were just never exposed to the process of discovering who you were created to be- that's OK too. We will cover it all. Just chill out! (and my kids think sometimes I am not cool... whatever! LOL)

Some of you are where I just described. That's OK. It will be tougher, more challenging and will take a bit longer, but we, together, will get there. I have attached a diagram we created and trademarked for my new book, but it shows what we will be discussing over the next few weeks together... Your "groove" is another way of saying your purpose, passion or, as some call it, "your calling". I typically shy away from religious terms because most people have funky ideas such as callings are only for Pastors and Priest. How rediculous. I have faught YEARS of that mindset from religious people and even some in my own family. No doubt I, like many of you, am a called Man (or woman) of God as a businessperson! My "domain" is in the marketplace. Through my seminars and speaking engagements, I reach and speak to more people each year about the Kingdom of God (not "churchy" or stale religious stuff) than most " pastors or priests" do in an entire lifetime. I am talking about teaching people how to create a life that has REAL purpose, joy and fulfillment. Plus, a life God can bless and refers to in His Word as "profitable" Are you excited yet? You should be- because if you desire to be "profitable" I dare to say you are already!

Next week we will talk about the first of four areas that make up your "groove" based on my chart. That is YOUR PASSION- so get ready!!! Be meditiating on YOUR PASSION in your quiet time and we'll have a great time getting to the place where you know why you're here. Choices then come much easier and life becomes a bit more clear. It is JUST WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR. I promise. You are all loved and celebrated- Freedom is within reach!! Please comment and add feedback. it helps for others to see your questions, opinions and personal experiences containing both your personal challenges and success. Thanks. The "Profit".

Hey, I have had a blog for like two hours and no one has commented...

That is some people's mentality when dealing with business, money, investments and just life in general in the United States!! Wouldn't that be foolish if that were my real feelings about this blog? Come on people, "mature" your views and ideas. NOTHING that comes easy is worth having. You don't respect it or appreciate it... so come on, let's be real and focus on creating the value in others instead of expecting it! Life is better and less stressful that way.

WOW, I have a "BLOG", but will anyone care?!

Hi family and friends. I thought to myself why fight it any longer. "Get a blog going" some have said to me over and over again! Then I saw Dr. John Stanko's (I think that is how you spell it, but who cares LOL) and I really liked it and found it very interesting- to be able to travel with him and such. THEN believe it or not even PASTOR CINDI LOMBARDO has a Blog... that did it for me. My time has come, my season has dawned, the world wide web is now never to be the same again... "PROFIT" Larry is now in the blogging business.

The name, "Profit" Larry.... let me explain before all you religious fanatics think I am being sarcastic or disrespectful. You see, I am a businessman. i speak frequently in churches and at religious businessmen's meetings all over the world. EVERYWHERE I go it seems like people always have a title (especially the African-American congregations... Prophet-this, Apostle-that. Minister so-and-so, Elder-this one. HMM. Then they introduce me..."JUST" LARRY. Like is was sort of anti-climactic or something! Okay, I may only stand a strapping five foot- three, but heck, give me a freekin' title why dontcha! So in one meeting in Connecticut I decided I was going to announce that "the lord" (notice the little"L") "told me" that i was a prophet- then I said not a P-R-O-P-H-E-T but a P-R-O-F-I-T!! Darn right brothers and sisters... this white man is a "For-Profit" Prophet. My goal and calling is to empower people, get their awareness up that there is MORE in store for them and to call them to be a "PROFITABLE" servant of the Most High G-d!!

That is why my blog site has a black background! No man called by G-d should be in the RED! You should be living in the BLACK! Come back frequently- we are going to learn how to move from"where you are" to "where you're called to be"! believe it or not, it is only right over there!! Oh, can't see "over there"? Well you're not supposed to right now... too many chaff plants all around you right now! But don't worry, a time is coming soon where all the chaff will be pulled up, bundled and burned at your feet and all you'll see is harvest!! "Well, Profit Larry, that is not for me, I am finished, there is nothing for me to do, I blew it!" LIE LIE LIE!! If you had no more to do, no new assignments, no plan or purpose you would be called home to Heaven- but since you're still here I will believe you have a few more things to do!! Let's walk this life out and find out what they are together, ok?! Let's go!!
