I wish I had the hours to sit and immerse myself in all of this information. I am simultaneously reading three books.  Did you know that when you purchase a book, you are actually purchasing the years of knowledge and wisdom a person has gain over their life time? That&#8217;s priceless.  I am reading on one of my admired subjects in Taffi Dollar&#8217;s, <span style="color: #99004d;"><strong><em>The Portrait of a Virtuous Woman: Finding Your Freedom in God&#8217;s Perfect Plan for You. </em></strong></span>It helps me to make the <img class="align left" style="margin-right: 35px; border: 0pt;" src="http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy250/urfunnie2day/adjustments.jpg" alt="360 interior Living : DeanaMurphyGlobal.com" border="0" />necessary adjustments in my own journey to break free of inner chaos, confusion, regrets and disappointments.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"> She cites four things that may become roadblocks as you begin to change. <strong><span style="color: #99004d;">Below is my spin on how the first two of these four roadblocks applies to you making necessary adjustments for designing your ideal life.</span></strong> Next week, I&#8217;ll write to you about the remaining two. The numbered italicized roadblock statements in bold are in Taffi&#8217;s words. The paragraphs that follow are in my words.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"> <em> <strong>1.  Feelings of Low Self-Image or Lack of Worth</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;"> If your self-image is different and less than how God sees you, then your image is false. Perhaps you&#8217;ve been seeking your identity and looking for fulfillment among the wrong people, things or places. Here&#8217;s how God sees you:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (a) with a peace of mind &#8211; freedom from fear, anger</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         and doubt</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (b) with good health &#8211; high energy with a satisfied</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         life</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (c) with loving relationships &#8211; long-term, mature</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         relationships with other people</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (d) with financial freedom &#8211; no worries of having</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         enough money</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (e) with worthy goals and ideas &#8211; a driven purpose</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (f)  with personal fulfillment &#8211; becoming everything</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         you are capable of becoming</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"> <em> <strong>2. Unwilling to Change the Way you Speak</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;"> The words you speak will either put you over or set up roadblocks. Your words have power. Idle words work against you. Saying things out of habit can destroy your life and those of others.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (a) I died laughing &#8211; say it was extremely</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         funny and I laughed</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (b) you won&#8217;t ever amount to anything &#8211; say you</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         can change and do much better</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (c) I will never be successful &#8211; say I can do all</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         things through Christ</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">    (d) this pain is killing me &#8211; say I refuse to let this</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">         pain overtake me. I am already healed!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"> <strong>Next week I&#8217;ll give my personal spin on how you can make necessary adjustments on the other two roadblocks to design your ideal life.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">Final note: as a certified interior living educator, specialist and strategist, I can help you to apply the tools to create major breakthroughs, achieve emotional clarity, personal accountability and inner direction so you can create a life of confidence, order and freedom. Let me help you get unstuck and live intentionally so you can design your ideal life.

Thinking about this, with 24 hours in a day, there are 24 extra hours this year to <span style="color: #99004d;"><strong><em>leap forward</em></strong></span>. <img class="align left" style="margin-right: 35px; border: 0pt;" src="http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy250/urfunnie2day/imagesqtbnANd9GcSuPssz8ey03ieisA1iQmQbLZvwVfjstLaRNPgIyy-WqyR5y1i6.jpg" alt="360 Interior Living" border="0" />So what does this mean? Having 12 months in a year, you have 2 extra hours each month to leap into your desired future.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Undoubtedly no one works 24 hours around the clock, but think about an extra 30 minutes each week to do something extra towards your future. That computes to 2 extra hours a month. I have some reflective suggests by which to utilize this extra time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Design, organize, execute.  </strong>Design clear, concise objectives for the year. Organize the blueprint into 4 spaces of time, say winter, spring, summer and fall. This breaks down to 6 extra hours per time space to work. Format your objectives in reasonable and doable activities and execute accordingly.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Look for innovative ideas</strong>. Visit book stores and libraries and read, read and read some more. Many of my ideas are birthed when I read books that intrigued and challenge me. Reading promotes an outstanding wealth of learning.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Develop a sense of urgency. </strong>Ideas have an expiration date. Don’t procrastinate. Procrastination is a thief of time. Wasted time is a thief of life. In just 30 minutes you can meditate on how to proceed with an idea or research the possibilities.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Concentrate on one thing at a time until completion</strong>.  The slogan, “I’m Every Woman” is simply played out. You cannot do everything. Do one thing well, in excellence and then graduate to the next level. I see so many make this mistake. I’ve been guilty of this. Simply concentrate intently without diversion and digression on one thing until completion.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Expect disappointments, delays and setbacks</strong>. No I am not being a pessimist; I’m preparing you to key yourself up and be motivated to stick it out. You have 2 extra hours each month to outperform your 2011 undertakings. People always plan to succeed with goal setting and affirmations. In addition, add a strategy for any unforeseen disappointments, delays and setbacks. Take an extra 30 minutes to plan how you will handle this.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Respect your dreams.</strong> You will attract what you respect. <a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/welcome-temp/personal-design/" target="_blank">Manage your life </a>so you can give quality time to pursuing your dreams. Get excited about them. This energy will catapult you forward and onward. It&#8217;s your personal development barameter.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>See it, touch it, hear it, smell it, taste it</strong>.  You were designed to engage all of your senses in training your subconscious to propel you to what you desire. Get a clear, mental image of your objective as if already obtained. See it clearly. Feel the texture of it. Smell the environment.  Hear people talking about it. Taste the sweetness of the accomplishments and accolades. You can do this in just 30 minutes each day.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Pay the price</strong>. Lay-out your foundation firmly in determination and diligence; persistence and perseverance then vow to never ever give up. Your resolve is your measurement of your faith in yourself. Believe in you especially when all others don’t.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Don’t misunderstand the focus of 24 hours to leap. Remember the key is to managing your <a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/welcome-temp/personal-design/" target="_blank">personal design </a>and not managing your time. When you manage your lifedesign, you will use time wisely and accomplish all of your objectives.</span></p>

Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled. ~ John 14:26-28</em></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A &#8220;<span style="color: #4c4c4c;">troubled heart&#8221; can be defined many different ways. The most notable is when a loved one has hurt us or perhaps when a loved one has departed from this world. But I want to talk about those hidden troubles that aren&#8217;t readily discerned. Those hidden troubles that we don&#8217;t want others to know. The lonely hearts, the confused hearts, the burdened hearts, the bitter hearts, the hateful hearts, and yes, the forgotten hearts. Another way of saying this is the downhearted, heartsick or heartbroken. Undoubtedly this affects your quality of life.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">Let&#8217;s look at this from a design perspective. Let&#8217;s say your body is joined together by different rooms in the same way as your home.  The heart room is oftentimes decorated with constant mood swings or negative habitual patterns. We can also say the heart room is the hallway that pretty much links together all the rooms of your body of life because the issues of life flow from the heart. So it&#8217;s safe then to conclude that the other rooms of your body of life have a direct effect on how your heart room actually functions.  Just like the purpose behind a functional house renovation and design is to bring more comfort to your life, it is also safe to conclude that the rooms of your body of life can be comforted by a facelift, or renovation.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">Constant moods swings or negative habitual patterns don&#8217;t have to have a grip on you. What would be your answer if I asked, “What drives and motivates you from day to day?” I can tell you this. The focus of your mind will paint the picture that remains in your heart.  I am not going to tell you that you must change your mindset. You hear that all the time from other coaches. Whew!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">Let’s get real here. The only true way to change the décor of your heart room is by renovating the thought room, the vision room, the hearing room and the speaking room. Why? Because all of the issues of life make an entrance through the doors of these rooms first before they can even reach the heart room. Remember, the heart room is only the corridor to life.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">I am sharing the following from my own personal experiences.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><strong>1. Identify the worn-out spaces</strong>.  Have you succumbed to thinking nothing good ever happens to you anyway so what’s the point in trying?  Do you feel that you’ve encountered so many disappointments that you begin to say this is your destiny in life? These thoughts and words are worn-out spaces in your thought and speaking rooms, and simply identifying and recognizing them will begin to chart your freedom.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">     a.  Fight for your life in your thought room because your mind-set doesn’t automatically come into agreement with just thinking positively. It takes much effort and the blueprint for charting your course is God’s word. It’s the only power tool that breeds life into the rooms of the body of life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">     b. Begin to practice thinking then speaking only on things that are lovely, noble, honorable and lovely. Even positive thinkers run into difficult situations. But with God’s word as your blueprint, you can let things roll off your back no matter what happens. You will soon begin to think and say only what you desire to manifest in your life! Not always easy, but always doable.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"> <strong>2. Monitor what you see and hear</strong>.  First examine yourself and honestly locate what has become your focus. Prioritize the issues in your life according to the truths in God’s Word. This takes a conscious decision on your part. It took a lifetime to harbor the décor you’ve created in the rooms of your body of life and it will take a conscious decision to correct the damage.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">     a.  Don’t listen to the naysayer, doubters, worrywart or complainer. Don’t drown yourself into seeing the negative reports on the local news about the downturned economic conditions.  If you get laid-off, God has a better position for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">     b.  Ask God to make you sensitive to His plans and purpose for your life. Meditate on the Word, so His promises can take root on the inside of you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">     c.  Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and make the choice to make God your priority. When you seek the things of God, eventually your thoughts and desires will align with His.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">     d. Focus on the Father and His Kingdom. When He becomes the center of your life, you will have every good thing He promises you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><strong>3.  Think about what is most important in your life.</strong> Don’t allow the things of this world to overshadow the God that designed you for His purpose. He already knows your heart, and when He begins to search your heart room, what will He find there? Will He be welcomed? What will He find sitting on the bed of your heart, which was intended for Him alone? Have you replaced Him with other things such as your personal image, material wealth, selfish ambitions or relationships with people?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">     a.<strong>   </strong>You must forgive. Many thoughts and decisions are related to unforgiveness. One of the most important reasons why you are to forgive is because your unwillingness to forgive others limits your ability to receive forgiveness from God. Unforgiveness makes the heart sick and life dysfunctional.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><strong>     </strong>b<strong>.      </strong>The solution to unforgiveness is cultivating a thought décor and a heart style that says, “I set my will to forgive anyone, for anything, at any time” before the offense takes place. It is essentially a heart style that is willing to lay aside pride and bitterness simply because God commands it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">I’ve found that what works for me is saying only what God’s word says about me, my life and anything that concerns my destiny. I believe it will work for you as well as you renovate those trouble spaces in your heart by his blueprint.</span></p>

God created you to live abundantly, enjoyably and successfully in all that you do. Life should never be mundane, dull and without purposeful pursuits. Life should be a grand adventure. You should live from one dream achievement to another. But unfortunately this doesn’t describe the lifestyle of most Believers that I know. I see too much comparing and competing. I see too much of chasing after money. I see too much unauthentic motives and copying and focusing on what others are doing. I hear too much noise. This used to be me. I would find myself trying to keep up with what everyone else was doing for the sake of looking good. At the end of the day I would think, who am I?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Today everyone is claiming to be some sort of a coach. It burdens my heart to see coaches claiming to show people how to find their purpose, how to change their mindset, how to live a great lifestyle, when in fact, these same coaches aren’t walking the walk themselves. Here’s the deal. If you want to know the purpose of a thing, you get it from the manufacturer. If you want to change your mindset, you find how the manufacturer wired you. If you want to a great lifestyle, you find out the plans from the One Who created you in the first place.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Let’s get real. God is the Creator and Manufacturer of every living thing on this earth, whether you believe it or not. I am no longer going to play around with status-quo and be cute, but I am going to share with you everything the Creator has shown me to pull myself out of a rut. I have yet found anyone who can permanently help me do this, but God. Some coaches have good plans. But they aren’t grounded and founded on God’s plan; therefore, as it is written, it is but a pile of sinking sand.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Here are three things I’ve learned and that have pulled me out of a rut:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">1. <strong>Develop a Prayer Lifestyle Based on God’s Promises</strong>. Your prayer time is where God-given dreams are birthed. When you pray, you force your natural mind, with all its logic and human reasoning to quiet down so you can tune into the spirit of God. The Holy Spirit will fill you with God’s awesome dream for your life and strategies to bring it to pass. Prayer is the motivating force behind my success.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">2. <strong>Leave Your Prayer Time Believing and Knowing You Have It.</strong> The mistake that is mostly made is short-circuiting your prayers. Mark 11:23 tells us to believe that we’ve received when we pray. That means to continue to believe that you have it up until you see it. Five years, ten years or what ever. If you begin to complain that you still don’t have what you desire, your prayer becomes void. If you launch out to do what others are doing and God has not directed you to do so, you are short-circuiting your prayers. Get God’s dream for your life. Dream about it. Find a comfortable place in your home to sit and stir up your dreams by visualizing successful pictures in your mind’s eye. What do you look like? What type of business are you in? You can become this if you mix your faith with the Word of God.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">3. <strong>Develop Prayer and Dream Disciplines.</strong> Once a dream is birthed in your heart, you must take responsibility for the dream and put forth purposeful effort for it to come to pass. Here’s some sure-fire ways to do this:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Diligence.</strong> Pursue what is important to you with a bull-dogged tenacity. Don’t be swayed when opposition arises. God never gives you a dream that matches your ideal circumstances or environment to carry it out. Your faith has to do that.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Faith</strong>. Every God-given dream requires faith to achieve it…not a 20 step program that someone wrote. Practice <strong>using your faith on small projects and it will grow from there.</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Patience</strong>. A dream delayed is not a dream denied. Learn to let patience have its perfect work. In Ecclesiastes, the Bible states that there is a proper season for everything. Learn to patiently wait on God’s timing while consistently confessing his promises over your life.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Focus</strong>. A focused person wastes little time. In order to fulfill my dreams, I dedicate all my time to purpose pursuits. Focus intensely. Stop looking at what others are doing. This only causes you grief because it appears they are farther than where you are. But know if their seemingly success is not ordained or grounded in God’s Word, it will be short lived.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Love</strong>. To fulfill your dreams, you must be motivated by love. You cannot envy or be jealous of someone else. According to 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, dream achievement is empty without love. Practice your love discipline with those around you. Love your spouse, children, friends, church, pastors, yourself and, of course, God. Love your life regardless of where you are right now.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Action</strong>. You’ll never rise higher than the action you take on a daily basis. Purpose daily to do something in pursuit of your dreams. If you aren’t sure, sit quietly and ask God to show you. Action gives you a sense of fulfillment. Action moves you from where you are to where you want to be.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">God’s purpose and plan for your life is one of abundantly living and success. There must be a Bible-based blueprint in order to walk it out. Would you go to a Toyota dealer for assistance with the purpose of the knobs on the dashboard or your Mercedes? So why trust your life in the hands of someone who is directing you by their philosophies instead of the promises of God?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Yes, I’m tired of it. God has called me to elevate, educate and motivate His people. As a Marketplace Minister and Master Interior LifeDesigner, this is exactly what I’m going to do. I’m here for you.</span></p>

This is a point of reference for their clients to know what service to expect; and for their employees, it shows them what their ultimate corporate goals are. It’s their corporate life plan and brand design.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">A mission statement is not only a corporate tool. Every person needs a <a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/welcome-temp/personal-design/" target="_blank">personal mission statement</a> in order to stay purpose-driven in life. The poorest person in life is one who has never discovered why they were born. A mission statement will serve as a compass and a life coach to guide and keep you focused while you are in pursuit of your purpose. It gives you an outline of what you are called to do and how you will set out to accomplish it. it directs your <a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1743&amp;action=edit" target="_blank">personal development</a> goals. Your mission statement should be easy to communicate and as concise as possible.</span></strong></p>
<p><img class="align left" style="margin-right: 35px; border: 0pt none;" src="http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy250/urfunnie2day/imagesqtbnANd9GcSo_l6fmCLGQrKAly9UFtTFSLxyH_mga6ZecKdFM5kWpmv3vZq0kA.jpg" alt="personal development,lifedesign,life coach,self-esteem,self-confidence" border="0" /><strong><span style="color: #888888;">Are you going where you want to go, doing what you want to do, and becoming who you want to become? Answering these questions in writing is very important. Writing is the process that crystallizes and clarifies your plans so you can fulfill them. Writing your mission statement for your life has its benefits:</span></strong></p>
<div>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">1. It increases your feelings of self-worth, self-esteem and confidence</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> 2. It serves as a blueprint for your life’s dreams and</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> goals</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> 3. It helps you to better assess opportunities that are</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> presented.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> 4. It fuels your internal drive and determination.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> 5. It reveals the real you. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> 6. It shows you what kind of relationships and</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> opportunities to pursue.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> 7. It keeps you mindful of how to use your time.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> 8. It helps you think creatively to solve your problems</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> when internal and external obstacles come to stand in</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #888888;"> the way.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">360 Living Assessment</span>: Set aside time for solitude and reflect on what you want to achieve in your career and what you want to accomplish in your life. Ask yourself these questions: What do I have? Who I need? Where can I go for more information? Who should I associate with? Where can I get the experience that I need? How much will it cost? Should I take academic courses? Present this challenge to someone whom you can trust and ask them to hold you accountable.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">360 Living in Action</span>: Grow in your relationship with God. True purpose can only come from Him. Take time to know yourself, your personal passions and preferences. Go reminiscing in the things you liked as a child. Define your values. Stay faithful to what’s burning inside of you. Your mission statement will revolve around the principles that you esteem highest and want to share with the world.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">Be motivated to learn as much as you can. Seek the skills you need, an</span><span style="color: #888888;">d serve others from a pure heart.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">If this post speaks to you, download a complimentary condensed <a href="http://360lifedesignsystem.com/" target="_blank">ebook</a> of my upoming book: 7 Interior Living Principles and Strategies They Don&#8217;t Want You to Know and then please share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and any other social media sites or networks.</span></strong></p>

Circumstances need not keep you down. Positions have no power to keep you stuck. Hurts won’t last if allowed to heal. Behaviors and attitudes can change. </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="360 Interior Living: 3 Ways to Handle the Clutter of Life" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSMLsD5Mm6N4uxmtM3sZflID5pnPl8zlEdh_RwkEcYa6nZH271o" alt="" width="325" height="167" /><strong><span style="color: #888888;"><br />
Change is a certainty of life, but learning from past mistakes can be your most valuable asset. No matter how responsible you are or how congenial you may be with people, you will inevitably slip up on moments that are uncomfortable and threatening.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">It doesn’t have to intimidate or bankrupt your self-esteem or self-confidence. Yes these oftentimes are private struggles hidden from view, and now is the time to confront them. You will never conquer what you are not willing to confront.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">I firmly believe it is possible to push and break self-imposing barriers and live with no regrets. Here are some ways to make the sustainable transformation:</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>1. If you were to split yourself open and see a panoramic view your inner workings and capabilities you’d be astounded. <span style="color: #99004d;">There is more life in your life.</span> Don&#8217;t be afraid to want for more, ask for more and go after more. </strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong><span style="color: #99004d;">The opportunities are embed in your disappointments, frustrations and losses.</span> This will help smooth over the <a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1066&amp;action=edit&amp;message=1" target="_blank">personal development and life improvement</a> scars and instead turn them into successes.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>2. <span style="color: #99004d;">Live life intentionally.</span> That is to intentionally get involved with your life. A running back doesn’t run through human blockages, trips and flips over backwards to score a touchdown and says, “This is amazing! How did I do that?”</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong> Of course he has to train in the rain, snow, wet, cold, doubt and perhaps without. He perseveres. Before his body learned those maneuvers, his mind orchestrated them first. That’s the foundation. <span style="color: #99004d;">The mind is his training field.</span> I’m reminded of Paul’s metaphor about training for a race:</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong><em>Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs,</em></strong></span> <em><strong><span style="color: #888888;">but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #888888;">All athletes are disciplined in their training.</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #888888;">They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #888888;">do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #888888;">in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #888888;">my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should.</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #888888;">Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I</span></strong> </em><strong><span style="color: #888888;"><em>myself might be disqualified</em>. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NLT)</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>3. <span style="color: #99004d;">Tackle stagnated thinking.</span> Thought design takes the prize every time. Forward, contemporary progressive thinking is a barrier breaker. </strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>You simply cannot remain the same if your mind is pulling  you onward. What do you say to the fighter who’s in the fight but is not aiming at anything? Something is wrong with his sparring habits! <span style="color: #99004d;">Discipline intentionally.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">It is difficult to put new wine into old wine skins just as it’s difficult or rather impossible for me to design a home in the midst of the existing clutter. It obviously must be removed for the design installation to be effective.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">There must too be a method for handling the clutter of life: the clutter of pain, subordination, being stuck, insecurity, loneliness, subordination, regret or domination. A thought renovation must take place prior to the design. Lifedesign will help you to create the life of your choosing. It is not necessarily quick and it will not always be easy—<span style="color: #99004d;">it will always be possible.</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">This is the beginning of breaking self-imposing barriers and <a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/welcome-temp/value-proposition-of-360-interior-living-s-y-s-t-e-m/" target="_blank">living a regret free life</a>.</span></strong></p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Live by Design,</strong></span></p>

So don&#8217;t waste it living someone else&#8217;s life. Don&#8217;t be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people&#8217;s thinking. Don&#8217;t let the noise of others&#8217;</span><strong> <img class="align left" style="margin-right: 35px; border: 0pt none;" src="http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy250/urfunnie2day/jobs_ap_ipad_2010.jpg" alt="personal development,goals,self-improvement,lifedesign,life coach" width="250" height="123" border="0" /></strong></span><span style="color: #99004d;">opinions drown out the noise of your own inner voice, and most important, follow your heart and your intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.&#8221; ˜Steve Jobs</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">When I embarked on <a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/360-interior-branding/" target="_blank">personal branding</a>, I understood brand design should be different, but my intuitiveness was so dramatic until I wondered if it made sense. What I&#8217;ve learned is you can&#8217;t worry about if it makes sense. If the ideas are inside of you, they are beckoning to become known because there are people who desire it and are waiting for what you have to offer.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I knew I had to be different and it became apparent when I penned my award winning,<span style="color: #99004d;"><a href="http://designingfortheking.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #99004d;"> <strong><em>Designing for the King</em></strong></span></a></span>. There are hundreds perhaps thousands of messages out there on personal development and now even with the new fad twist of calling it lifedesign. Same message, different packaging. The bottom line is the same notion to help people to improve their lives and step out of their comfort spots. All this is great, but&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>&#8230;The problem I have with it is they boil down to the same bowl of soup. Rah, rah, you can do it, stop procrastinating, believe in yourself, dare to dream big, you&#8217;re every woman, up your game and the list goes on and on. If you&#8217;re like me, your personal library probably contains books and audios of all of these messages.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Don&#8217;t get me wrong.  Motivation is necessary and I am one who believes in giving you that much needed shove to the point of being labeled &#8220;the motivator&#8221; by the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of <span style="color: #99004d;"><a href="http://buzz.eewmagazine.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #99004d;">EEW Magazine, Dianna Hobbs</span></a></span> to which I am a columnist by that title.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">But, this is where I am different.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>There must be a connection to every area of your life. As the hallway connects all the rooms of a tangible space and joins to complete the home&#8217;s structure, there must be intangible connections of life that joins to complete the way we live—the who, what, why and how.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #333333;">When it comes to lifedesign, because I have been designing tangible spaces for well over a decade,  I would say that my attitude and approach to life transformation has progressively followed suit.  I see lifedesign/life renovation and lifestyle issues as I see interior design.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The interior design process follows a systematic and coordinated methodology, including research, analysis and integration of knowledge into the creative process, whereby the needs and resources of the client are satisfied to produce an interior space that fulfills the project goals.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>When showing people how to change their lives, this approach cannot be overlooked. There must be a holistic renovating process before there can be a designing process, and it has to be internal and intangible. This is what sets me apart from the others. </strong> The difference is much like &#8220;interior design&#8221; and &#8220;interior decorating&#8221;. Many people use these interchangeably, but these professions are different in critical ways.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Interior design is the art and science of understanding people&#8217;s behavior to create functional spaces within a building. Decoration is the furnishing or adorning of a space with fashionable or beautiful things. In short, interior designers may decorate, but decorators do not design.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Life coaches, lifestyle coaches, life designers and motivators are the decorators who adorn our lives with some great fashionable talk and beautiful messages. This is interior decorating.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><a href="http://s796.photobucket.com/albums/yy250/urfunnie2day/?action=view&amp;current=CopyofAnatomyandHouseComp.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333333;"><img style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy250/urfunnie2day/CopyofAnatomyandHouseComp.jpg" alt="personal development,brand design,lifedesign,life coach,self-esteem,self-confidence" width="550" height="403" border="0" /></span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">My approach and methodology to lifedesign/life renovation/motivation is simply this: &#8230; I follow a systematic and coordinated methodology, including research, analysis and integration of knowledge for understanding people&#8217;s behavior, past and present,  and I walk them through the anatomy of the body so that all the connections are functional from head to toe&#8230; <span style="color: #99004d;"><a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/welcome-temp/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #99004d;">360 Interior Living </span></a></span>. The procedure that makes this a reality is  seamlessly integrating the same design principles and process that I use in my home design process. It appears, what I do for your home, I can also do for your life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I am daring to be different. My <a href="http://deanamurphyglobal.com/360-interior-branding/">360 Interior Branding System</a> will show you how I did it.</span></p>
<p>Like Steve Jobs said, may he rest in peace, I am not trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people&#8217;s thinking. I am not allowing the noise of others&#8217; opinions drown out the noise of my own inner voice, and most important, I am following my heart and my intuition. I have seen what I want to become. Everything else is secondary.</p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">People no longer want to be pumped and pushed, they are desiring systematic procedures and processes so they can experience a sustainable,  comforting living performance.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Dare to be different, I did.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">If this post speaks to you, then please share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and any other social media sites or networks.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I know that there’s someone out there needing more, so please pass this along. It’s time to help someone else renovate their life and own their power! Thank You!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Live by Design,</strong></span></p>
