    About this ebook

    Is your life stuck in a hole you can’t escape? Do you envy people who seem to have it all when you don’t have even half of it? Are there things in your life you’re not happy with? Would you have a better life if only you could hit the “reset” button? YOU CAN!!! My 7 Minutes Read series will help you develop life skills so you can begin to create the life you’ve always dreamed of.
    If changing your life sounds like a humungous, time-consuming task, relax! Like most big projects, changing your life happens in small, easy-to-understand-and-implement steps. You don’t do it all at once. No one ever has! But if you have the determination to make positive changes in your life, and if you can commit small amounts of time to doing it, my 7 Minutes Read series is the key to your shining future.
    Too many books offer theories; too few offer practical ideas. They tell you what to do but they don’t tell you how to do it. That’s what makes my 7 Minutes Read series different.

Not every idea works for every reader’s lifestyle, of course, so by spotlighting different topics, you can quickly decide which book will work for you and get right to work making positive changes. Best of all, each read takes just 7 minutes!

    Change Your Life in 7 Minutes! Is your life stuck in a rut that you can’t climb out of? Do you envy other people who seem to have it all and you don’t even have half of it? Are there things about your life that you’re not happy with? Do you think that you could have a better life if only you could hit the reset button? If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes”, then the 7 Minutes Read series is going to help you develop your life skills so that you create the life you’ve dreamed of. Changing your life sounds a big, time consuming task. The reality is, that like most big projects, it can be done in small steps. You can’t do it all at once. No-one can. But if you have the determination to make positive change happen in your life, and you can commit little small amounts of time to doing so, the 7 Minutes Read series of books is the key to a more successful future. While many books have many pages of theory on how to change your life, they often have very little in the way of practical ideas. They tell you what needs to be done in order to achieve success in one area of your life or another. They don’t always tell you how. That’s what makes the 7 Minutes Read series different. Each book contains a lot of food for thought, but it offers a variety of ideas of how to get the right result. Not all ideas work for each reader’s lifestyle so by highlighting several ideas most readers are able to quickly identify what will work for them and can get right to work making positive changes – and you can read it all in 7 minutes! Do you want to make positive life changes, or do you want to read about how other people do it? If you are ready to get start doing it yourself, the 7 Minutes read series is ready to show you how!

      Your Mind and Emotions

      You are in Control

      We all make choices. Every day we choose to control ourselves in potentially compromising situations or we do what feels good, no matter what the consequences may be. Either decision makes us happy, but only one of them makes us happy over the long haul.

      Given an opportunity to accept a penny every day with the amount doubling for 30 days or $100,000 in cold, hard cash right now, which would you choose? If you’re like most people you’ll grab the $100K. It just makes sense, doesn’t it?

      Does it?

      Do the math. If you’d taken the doubling penny for a month you’d have $5,368,709.12 after thirty days.

      Just because something feels or seems right, especially when you’re tempted, in the long run we often close the door to our own futures! Why make life harder and less pleasant for yourself and your loved ones?

      "Feels good now" decisions are the easiest emotions and thought processes to fall victim to. They require far less effort than remaining vigilant for long-term benefit. And following baser instincts seems to require fewer brain cells: most of us would prefer flight to fight when physically challenged; how many of us choose ice cream over healthier fare when dessert time arrives?

      But feels good thinking will not, in the grand scheme of things, make you an achiever. People who weigh each option against their long-term goals are far likelier to make appropriate decisions, open doors of opportunity, and garner the favor of other successful people.

      Six Degrees of Separation

      You are just six people removed from anyone else in the world. All you have to do is find one partner, lover, boss, friend, or acquaintance to revolutionize your life. Things don’t happen by themselves; you need other people to accomplish great things.

      Managing your thoughts is vital to your success if you want to achieve greatness. Your mind has two purposes: to remember/recall and to create/imagine. We employ our memories to revisit pleasant experiences and to recall unpleasant ones so we steer clear of similar situations in the future. Life is about finding, enjoying and sharing pleasant experiences with the people you love.

      What you think affects you, like it or not. Your thoughts stimulate or muffle, motivate or de-escalate, encourage or discourage—but they do not own you. You own them. They are yours. They advise you, awake and asleep.

      As powerful as thoughts are, you simply must choose and protect what you focus on. Your present thoughts are your responsibility, even though many of them may have been taught you by other people (often when you very little and had no filters to separate the wheat from the chaff).

      But be forewarned: No one else really cares what you’re focusing on unless you’re focusing on what they want or need. If you want to achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself, you’re going to have to ignore a lot of static: what your parents want (or wanted) for you, the fact that your siblings laughed when you told them your goals, the movie/TV show/bad habit you’re so accustomed to enjoying, the ad that is seducing you away from the calorie count you want to keep so you can get your health back. Lots of people are vying for your time, but it’s YOUR time. It’s all the time you have. Don’t squander it.

      This is why you have to guard your focus. If you want something you’ve never had, you need to do something you’ve never done. If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, no one is going to drag you away from it; it’s up to you! If you want to get out of debt, or into better shape; if you want to do anything more than what you’re doing now, now’s the time!

      Recruit allies

      Look around. Who are your friends? Do they respect your focus or are they usually trying to divert you from your goals? Sad but true: if they’re not supporting your goals by allowing you to focus significant time on them, they’re not really friends. They don’t care really about you; they may simply be using you to make themselves feel better since they have no significant plans for their own futures (or they’d be honoring yours and less available). Worst of all, their habits will rub off on you sooner or later. Your mind tends to mimic the things you see, hear and do whether you intend it or not. So develop a circle of counselors you trust to mentor you. Mentorship is the fastest way to reach the top with the fewest missteps and unpleasant experiences.

      There’s no motion without emotion

      Without emotion/passion toward your goals, you’ll never develop enough forward motion and attain them. But passion/emotion toward your sincerest goals induces promotion, locomotion, devotion, commotion and sometimes explosion.

      Humans are born with three emotions: rage, fear, and love. As we grow, everyday things and social situations get associated with one of these three primary emotions. In general, this is good—all have survival value—but many things are involved in developing a personality; a balancing of emotions is important to become well-rounded.

      Well-balanced emotion is key

      There are causes and effects whenever you experience an emotion. Here’s an example. You’re getting ready to go pick up a friend. You get into the car.
