There is a lot that goes into an excellent quality of life.

There is a lot that goes into an excellent quality of life. Throughout your journey of achieving what you want, you need to be able to keep things in perspective. Life is complex and you may have many aspirations you are working toward simultaneously, some of which could conflict with each other.

Imagine your quality of life as an upside down triangle. This triangle is balancing on a foundation of your means of life that you have built. Your life includes qualities such as those that are spiritual, physical, physiological, sociological, emotional and financial. Your foundation is made up of all the “bricks of life”, such as family, friends, animals, work, your home, your career, your transportation, your potential, and other factors important to you. Your foundation must be a system of stability or else your quality of life will lose balance and fall. All the bricks must be placed and adhered together delicately in the system. If one of them cracks or falls out of place, the things that matter the most could be at risk.

You are created good. You are not created small. You are not created weak. You are not created average.

You, are an amazing being. You are not created small. You are not created weak. You are not created average. It is time for you to embrace your abilities!

The more you can contribute to society and your environment in profound and valuable ways, the better. The greater the impact the greater the ripple effect. You are paid in direct proportion to the amount of peoples’ lives you affect — and not in money alone, but also in blessings.

Every positive impact is important and should be honored. If you want to be great, you need to find ways to impact the masses and be remembered. They say that the average person will have a profound influence on five people’s lives in their lifetime. What if you could change the world? What if you could revolutionize humanity?

Be ethical

Everyone is different, everyone has unalike needs and everyone has their own intentions. Ethics come into play when directives, actions, beliefs or desires are not aligned with multiple parties. They also become apparent when there are multiple choices that one may have while weighing out opportunity costs or being pulled in multiple directions. Sometimes it is hard to align the stars when you have different perspectives on the universe.

Sometimes current circumstances lead to being unable to create ideal outcomes. While working together with other people, stakeholders and organizations, there may come a time when you find that you cannot serve all simultaneously. Sometimes you have to choose to act on behalf of one party or another. Sometimes you have to pick the lesser of several evils and yours or others’ idyllic model of “right” cannot be fulfilled due to less than ideal conditions and synergies.

The goal, obviously, is to always do what is good and positively contribute to others, but if you can’t, try and be creative to find solutions where you can. Most of the time, if you put in a little more research or talk to enough people with the right experience, you will find ways to act in good faith and make ethical decisions.

Don’t live in falsity and lies

People have a hard time being humble, letting go of their pride and bringing their less than ideal situations or mistakes to the light. People sometimes choose to live in the dark, especially if a situation could inflict pain on another party. What’s ironic is that the reason people lie is because they don’t want to hurt others or themselves, but they fail to recognize that the deceit is actually worse than the inequity. People can respect and work with someone who is willing to admit the cold hard truth and work toward improvement. On the contrary, people have a much harder time giving mercy to the person who lives in the long, drawn out falsity of sin.

Sin derives sin — and it quickly compounds negativity. It is a ticking bomb and the longer the sin compounds, the more exponential the blast. This downward spiral has the ability to impale your livelihood. Don’t get caught in this turbulence. If you are in it, get out as fast as you can. This is where the devil thrives and attacks. His forte is understanding your weaknesses and making you believe lies.

Cancer survivor J Reese Lasley, Author of The Abilities, is inspiring local Coloradoans to truly live at book signing events in March & April

Neighbors, family, friends, and colleagues have long aspired to achieve their dreams. The missing piece for most is that while people aspire to truly live, they struggle with defining what they really — really want. Of those who do know what they want, many don’t know why they want it, how to get it, or even believe that they can have it. The Abilities, published in January 2018, reveals the secrets, step-by-step instructions, lessons and best practices needed to define what it is that they really want, and then how to achieve the qualities they desire in life.

In partnership with the BookBar Denver, Reese Lasley is hosting the first of a series of book signings and motivational workshops on March 10, 2018. During the session, Reese helps people realize their abilities within to achieve their dreams. He guides people to embrace their gifts through being able. ABLE to dream, ABLE to envision, Able to recognize their power, and ABLE to exercise their gifts. Through being ABLE and looking within, people can apply their authentic abilities to make their aspirations a reality. A second book signing event and workshop has been announced at the Tattered Cover LoDo on April 5, 2018.

Reese is an inspiration to those around him. Overcoming being raised in a very challenging environment that involved extraordinary hardships including cancer, addiction and numerous losses. Reese has found success in many ways and motivates others through his discovery of self. He paints a story of overcoming, and creates a path forward for many in the midst of the chaos. For numerous others, similar challenges are defeating — but they don’t have to be. Reese shares “I learned what I needed to do to make a positive difference. I wanted happiness, prosperity and health. So, I set out to get what I wanted.”

While aspiring to fulfill his dream and share his message, Reese was diagnosed with cancer himself. Without wavering, Reese applied his learning to his own life and turned a major setback into proof of how The Abilities helps people realize they can truly live.

Positivity

Everything in life is like a battery. It is all about how you look at things. Things can be positive or negative. Instead of focusing on your inabilities focus on your abilities. Your mindset has the potential to derive what you are looking for. Success is in the eye of the beholder.

Look at everything as an opportunity to grow. Don’t turn away from something because you don’t like it or don’t like doing it. Sometimes that is exactly what you need to grow.

Don’t get discouraged by the negators in life. Don’t let people or obstacles ever hold you back. Never let other people steal your dreams. Don’t listen to the noes – listen to the yeses. It is simply by virtue of trying that determines your growth.

I have been through many successes and also many disappointments in my life, but I never let the disappointments stop me. Success comes in cans, not in cannots.

There have been many amazing people in history who have heard many noes and failed many times, but it was the yes inside of them that made them successful, and even famous. Yeses are far stronger than all of the noes that can ever be offered.
