“We are all right now living the life we choose.”
Not certain if I read that somewhere else. If so, let me know and I’d love to give them proper credit.

We have full control over the life we lead and must learn to accept our responsibility for all of our decisions and actions (as well as our indecisions and inactions). So, the next time you feel unempowered about something, instead of saying “I can’t do…” or “I can’t be…” say “I won’t…”

It feels strange and kinda icky to say …as if we’ve suddenly realized our inability to do something is actually OUR fault or within our control and we’ve simply chosen to not take appropriate action instead of us just being a victim of some external, invisible force (like the economy -hint, hint). Saying “I won’t” places the accountability back on US. Yeah, it feels kinda weird at first.

When we say we won’t, it’s like we said, “Well, I could’ve if I wanted to, but I chose not to and I didn’t, but if I really want to I can and if I decide to I will.”  Instead, we’ve chosen to use the word “can’t” to take the responsibility off us.  Heaven forbid we accept responsibility for our decisions (even if they were subconscious).  We use it so often as an excuse, we’ve actually convinced ourselves that we’re now powerless.  “Can’t” is known as a slave word -it disempowers us, according to R. Neville Johnston (and I completely agree).

Using “won’t” is empowering.  We’re not used to empowering ourselves.  We feel out of place.  We must first recognize and acknowledge the power within us so we can bring it into our lives.

The neat part is… when you realize you’re no longer a victim and recognize you actually DO have complete control over 100% your life, you will learn to make BETTER decisions to have a better life. Cool, eh? (It’s that whole ‘Law of Attraction & Abundance’ thing. Check it out sometime. Really.)

Try it.

Choose to do it over and over. You WILL see a sudden change in your thinking.  To grow you must step out of your comfort zone.
And, naturally, when your thinking changes, your life will change right along with it.

A Life Purpose: Help Others Grow & Evolve

Mike Lewitz

Mike Lewitz is among a rare handful of people born and raised (and still residing) in Arizona.  Throughout his young adult life working for small mom & pop’s to Fortune 100′s, Mike quickly recognized the obvious value and importance of a constant inflow of paying customers.

Over time, Mike became very interested in understanding the catalysts -or ‘triggers’- that cause people to take certain actions and, ultimately, buy certain things and do business with others… the field known as marketing. In studying successful small business people, Mike learned the most important piece of information to leverage the success of a business:

Every single job, position and task in a business can (and should) be hired out and performed by someone other than the owner…

…EXCEPT the marketing.

Mike loves studying people… What are they thinking?  What makes them act a certain way or do certain things?  What motivates them to behave the way they do?  He is always calculating ‘Why’ someone did what they did; the cause and the effect.

Basically, studying how people act and react is the field of psychology.  But when we APPLY psychology in a business sense, we call it:  MARKETING

Marketing is applied psychology.

Many have accused Mike of walking a path of his own …to a fault.  Some consider his failure to conform to certain expected societal roles a character flaw while others are inspired by and respect his non-traditional, out-of-the-box paradigm.

Like most people, Mike has endured many personal difficulties in his life that have given him the strength and courage to now face many adversities.  His ‘question everything’ perspective has led him on an incredible journey that has brought him to a place of highly evolved spirituality where true happiness and wealth are gained only through serving others and elevating them to a higher level.

Today, as a professional marketer, international speaker and small business coach, Mike Lewitz has worked with people around the globe teaching them how to apply the latest cutting-edge and proven marketing principles into their businesses and eliminate scarcity to open doors and attract new opportunities.  Mike also enjoys speaking at special events and consulting with small business owners who are looking to take their business to the next level of customer.  Mike holds two Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration and Marketing from the University of Phoenix and is currently working on an MBA in Organization Development at Western International University.
