Just yesterday I had the unique opportunity to recognize how thankful and grateful we all should be to live life. Many times we go throughout life expecting more and more instead of learning to be appreciative for what we have. It was just last week when I sat down and took another assessment of my life over the past year. Don’t be alarmed when you find yourself questioning how productive you have been. It’s a normal practice for me to do a self assessment on a weekly basis. Reflection, as I call it, is a very powerful tool for productive people. If used properly, reflection can propel you into a dimension that promotes maturity and growth.
Aren’t you glad that you are not the same person you use to be? Wow that in itself is something to be thankful and grateful for because most people are not happy with whom they are, much less whom they use to be. Let me make it plain, I am currently on a “90 Day Challenge” to lose 30 pounds in 90 days. Why you may ask because I am not happy with my current state of health. If I expect it to get better than I am going to have to do something about it. TAKE ACTION! I am thankful and grateful about the situation because I am in control and I have the opportunity to make the change that will affect my life.
Yesterday, when I turned on the news first thing in the morning there was talks of fires and mayhem in various locations. In the same day while driving down the road, I saw many accidents and incidents that could produce a negative outlook on life. Again, I begin to reflect and look over my life to see even when I wasn’t in the best situations (tired, unhealthy, financially stumped, unproductive, and even doubtful about choices I made in life) how simply being thankful and grateful changed my perspective and outcome.
I wanted to share 5 simple principles that help me to stay in the posture and position of being THANKFUL & GRATEFUL! For lack of better terms they help me to keep it 100.
1. Appreciate where you are.
2. Enjoy the moment!
3. Recognize change is available.
4. Show it with your actions.
5. Commit to repeating this cycle.

TARGETED
It’s time to get laser focused on the things we want in life. I am a firm believer that you will only get out what you put in. It is amazing how many people actually think that they can literally get something for nothing. You know people like that who have the “BURGER KING” mentality I want it my way… Well I have discovered that the only way you are going to accomplish that (having everything my way) is to be the creator. Sorry, but that job is not vacant!!! So with that in mind, I guess the next best thing is to get TARGETED.
Smile because it’s about to get worse :0);0);0) Now in order to get TARGETED and laser focused you are going to have to do a few things. I know that I am putting you to work early, but if you want results, you got to put in the work. Three quick things I want you to do today:
1. Ask yourself, if I could change something about me what would it be?
2. Ask yourself, are you willing to work for it? How hard? How long?
3. Ask yourself, can you see yourself there?
Today, almost seven hours ago I decided to execute the very same thing that I am sharing with you. I started a “90 Day Challenge” to lose 30 pounds over the next 90 days. This challenge will help me stay TARGETED on the goals that I set forth for my life. Why, because it’s my desire to live life on purpose and by design while maximizing my productivity. One of my goals is to live a long life and be around to enjoy my grandchildren. If this is going to be possible my Target must be to stay healthy… Simple but application is the key!
You are welcome to join me on a “90 Day Challenge “of your own. I am also a practicing believer of what I teach so would you be one of my accountability partners? There is NO obligation, fee, trick, or game to it! All I ask of you is to hold me accountable by dropping me a line or two to see how I am doing on my journey. Here are a few examples of questions that will help: Have you workout today? Are eating properly? Are you following your strategic plan? I am on facebook as live2produce, and Vernet Alin Joseph Jr. You can also tweet me as drvajoseph.
I am looking forward to making this challenge a success so if you would like to join me reply to this blog with what your “90 Day Challenge “ is and let’s get started. I am willing to help hold you accountable to reaching your goals and dreams. Remember stay laser focused as you live2produce.
There are so many great ways to accomplish what you want out of life. Getting laser focused is one of them. Check out my latest book “35 Insights To Live A Productive Life” on www.livetoproduce.com in it I share some outstanding insights that help guide me to productivity.

TAKE ACTION
Have you ever heard someone constantly talk about what they are going to do, but seems like they never arrive at that destination? I know at some point and time this may have even been you. Don’t shut me out just yet, as we all visit this place from time to time, we don’t have to stay there.
Well, today I want to address this issue because there seems to be a pandemic spreading across the nation with people talking loud, but not saying nothing. Some people are saying a lot, but their result bank is extremely low. In most cases it is screaming insufficient funds (NSF).
Today I challenged myself to commit to saying less and getting more done. I am committed to adhering to James 1:19 where it says “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:” Because this is absolutely an essential key to my life as I strive daily to be more productive.
Over the last few days I have been conducting an in-depth self analysis of my journey through life. In doing so, I wanted to make sure that I tied up any loose ends that may hinder me from reaching and obtaining my goals of leaving a legacy for my family. This is something that I recommend for all of my clients, friends, and associates as it helps keep you grounded. As always, I live what I teach to others especially being transparent. I specifically wrote this blog to hold myself accountable as many people tell themselves they will follow through with things and it just doesn’t come to pass.
There are several things that you may want to evaluate in your life from time to time and I truly recommend it as it is good for the soul. Weather you desire to lose a few pounds, get discipline in your finances, strengthen your faith, get productive, or even go back to school here are three quick and easy action steps that you want to take.
1.TAKE ACTION NOW…
Don’t sit and wait for it to happen for you, I challenge you to go and get it. Whatever it is that you may want to take action in, promise yourself that you won’t procrastinate.
2.GET AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER…
Someone you respect and will listen to. Sometime it’s good to put yourself on blast so that you receive all the help that you can get…
3.FINISH IT…
Whatever it takes, just getter done. Don’t allow yourself to quit, get tired, or start wondering should you keep going. If you started then have a finisher’s mentality.
I look forward to hearing how you are dealing with the areas of your life that you desire to take action in. There are so many great ways to accomplish what you want out of life. Check out my latest book “35 Insights To Live A Productive Life” on www.livetoproduce.com in it I share some outstanding insights that help guide me to productivity.

THE POWER IN PARTNERSHIP
Today, I am grateful and thankful to God for granting me the
privilege and honor to be married to my wonderful wife. She is the angel that my Father affords me the opportunity to walk on earth with. I call her my wife for life, my good thing, my better half, as she is what God uses to complete me.
Many would not agree with the above statements, but that is not
my concern because they reign true in my life. Throughout the years I have
learned a lot about life, marriage, relationships, success, and legacy to name a few, but there is one thing that remains constant and that is the Power in Partnership.
We are all put on this earth to live 2 produce and become an
agent of change in the world. Whether you are in a corporate, civil, or
domestic setting you will be effected by the Power in Partnership or the lack there of.
3 ESSENTIALS OF ENJOYING YOUR MARITAL PARTNERSHIP
I. KEEP IT FRESH AND INTERESTING
II. DON’T LET THE FLAME DIE OUT
III. COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY
IV. TRANSPARENCY
I want to dedicate this song by Shania Twain to my wife as it was
our wedding song many years ago. Honey I have not forgotten and will never
forget the power in our partnership. I am loving you always and for
life.
(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care. Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
For better or worse, I will love you with Every beat of my heart.)
From this moment life has begun From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessedI live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart Can't wait to live my life with you,can't wait to start You and I will never be apart My dreams came true
because of you
From this moment as long as I live I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love And you're the answer to my
prayers from up above All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live I will love you, I promise you this
From this moment I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

EMBRACING THE PRODUCTIVITY WITHIN
Today, I sprang up with a yearning in my heart to accomplish
several things before noon. After giving time to my morning meditation and
reflection, I darted off to put my body through a rigorous physical workout. It is amazing what your body will afford you the opportunity to accomplish when you put your mind to it. Embracing the productivity within helps you to elevate procrastination and gives you the option of getting things done. Instead of making excuses like: I haven’t done this before or I can start this another day/time embracing productivity will cause you to say things like I accomplished it and that was easy.
Because I took the time to embrace the productivity within I was able to accomplish more this morning domestically than I had all week. I am a Southern boy living in the West and that within itself is a conundrum. I like cutting grass and having fruit trees in my back yard but I live in the desert go figure. Well today, after a nice workout I had the opportunity to organize my garage, clean my front yard, and enjoy the beauty of the day before most people got out of bed. To some this may seem to be nothing, but to others it is about staying fluid and being able to stay in what I like to call the “Productive Zone.”
As you go throughout the rest of your day today, take the time to seize every opportunity that arises for you to embrace the productivity within and you will appreciate the outcome. Never allow your productivity to be announced by others. Enjoy the journey of embracing the productivity within.
