The Nine Equities Life Management System

Creating your New Life Plan!

Excellent quotes about life management: (The underlined words are blanks in the teaching handout. Here, the blanks are filled in for you.)

Make this an exciting year!
- Make bigger goals. Stop living in the past, if you’re stagnant-you have lost sight of what you’re aiming for somewhere along the way. Awaken your dreams and clarify them.

If you’re bored with life—you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things—you don’t have enough goals. –Lou Holtz

Make this a specific year!
- Stop being so vague about what you want! Aim for a target, a bulseye, the very center of that bulseye! Let the world know you mean business this year!

The world makes room for the man who knows where he is going. –Ralph Waldo Emereson

Make this a year of overcoming things!
- Obstacles come to put your greatness on display, -Make Me a Legend. Defeat the giants everyone else is too lazy and scared to face!

You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you had to overcome to reach your goals. –Booker T. Washington

Make this a year of unrelenting focus!
- Can you keep your eyes on the target even when the high winds are blowing? Remember Peter walking on the water? Remember Joseph’s 13-year diversion? Never lose focus!

I don’t care how much power, brilliance or energy you have, if you don’t harness it and focus it on a specific target, and hold it there you’re never going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants. –Zig Ziglar

Make this a high scoring year!
- Set achievable, incremental goals and celebrate your touchdowns!

The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score. –Bill Copeland

Make this a year of strategy and pursuit!
- Turn your wishes and desires into clearly written strategies… plans so clear that any intelligent person can achieve them!

Reduce your plan to writing. The moment you do this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire. –Napoleon Hill

Make this a year of forward pressing!
- Pressing, reaching, sweating, panting, driving, breaking through… your dreams are not just going to happen… you must PRESS towards the PRIZE!

I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. –Apostle Paul (Philippians 3:12-14)

A few thoughts to consider when writing your new life plan:

Dream without limits! (Who set your limits? Mom, Dad, friends, small town thinkers, the government, the devil?)
Think WAY outside the box! (It is very possible that your future is something you have never thought about before. Dreams are portals to higher levels.)
Believe that anything is possible! (Believe that anything can happen to you. That you are the luckiest (most blessed) person alive!)
Look beyond yourself! (You were made for eternal purposes. Your dream is more than getting your light bill paid. Dream beyond yourself and the things you want and need will start to show up.)
Aim to make a difference! (A young man said to me last night, “All I can think about is how much of a difference I want to make with my life!”)
Be brutally honesty about the changes you need to make! (Stop letting yourself off the hook for low standards and bad habits. Have the guts to strip down naked in front of the mirror and face the facts.)
Stop being intimidated with potential dangers! (Most people spend their available dreaming hours, dreading what might be. While the rest of the world says, “The earth is flat and the sea monsters are epic,” will you be the one to PROVE THEM WRONG?)
Deem this the year of facing your Goliath’s—and defeating them! (Tackle those dissempowing generational curses. It won’t happen overnight, but it can be a reality with a clear plan and ONE DEDICATED year!)
Stop procrastinating! (Your destiny is like compounded interest. Every year you delay is another one half of your potential WASTED)
Actually write the plan!
