SOMETHING INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT HAPPENS…

CARVING OUT A LIFESTYLE

From the moment you finally (and permanently) decide to do something important with your life, it seems like the entire universe aligns to support you.  If you live so that you always have an out, or another option, not much comes along to help us.  The choice, the decision and the commitment are the secret ingredient that is required of us.  It is like “we have to put in the key” and turn the lock – then things start to open up and mere potential starts to turn into opportunity.

The famous German writer talked often about this very subject.  He said it so well many years ago…

UNTIL ONE IS COMMITTED THERE IS HESITANCY,

ALWAYS A CHANCE TO DRAW BACK…

ALWAYS INEFFECTIVENESS.

CONCERNING ALL ACTS OF INITIATIVE AND CREATION,

THERE IS ONE ELEMENTARY TRUTH,

THE IGNORANCE OF WHICH KILLS MANY SPLENDID IDEAS

AND COUNTLESS PLANS:  THE MOMENT ONE COMMITS ONESELF…

PROVIDENCE BEGINS TO MOVE TOO.

AFTER THAT MOMENT ALL SORTS OF THINGS BEGIN TO OCCUR

THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER OCCURRED.

A WHOLE STREAM OF EVENTS ISSUE FROM THE DECISION…

RAISING IN ONES FAVOR ALL MANNER OF UNFORESEEN INCIDENCES

AND MEETINGS AND MATERIAL ASSISTANCE, WHICH NO ONE

COULD HAVE DREAMT WOULD COME THEIR WAY.

SUCCESS MOUNTAIN IS RIGHT THERE

IN FRONT OF YOU – WAITING TO BE CLIMBED

I know that I shouldn’t temp you beyond your ability to resist, but in my twenty-two thousand days of living and “playing” abudantly with my life and my living – I have come to a serious conclusion.  THE GOOD THINGS IN THIS LIFE are all comparativly uphill – not found in the easy path downhill.  So, early in my own quest for a greater degree of enjoyment and satisfaction for A QUALITY LIFESTYLE – I finally “hung up my dental drill” and retired early (way early) to pursue another form of drilling for profit from my new ParaGraving hobby.  Little did I realize just how “profound” that “…other pathway less traveled would end up being for me.  I think the same will be true for you.  Perhaps that is all you have lacked thus far in your life.

Pick out a pathway that nobody else has gone, and create your own trail.  It isn’t easy, but it ends up being “worth all the difference” in your life and your living.  Promise.

WHAT A DAY TO TRANSFORM OURSELVES – EASTER SUNDAY

There has been a lot happen in my life during the month of April.  It certainly has moved to a place of significant attention by me.  National Tax day that has now ended up as the Tea Party of this century.

I opened my dental office on the 15th in 1975.  That lead to the April day that I first cut an eggshell.  And that silly little action changed the entire course of the rest of my life.  But then again, maybe everything happens for a reason – and what we are doing is simply DISCOVERING OURSELVES.

Wouldn’t that be something and – what if that is the entire reason we are here?  And what if..   we have a promise to get to the center of our souls and “discover” our strengths – and over come our weaknesses?  Oh, that is a huge WHAT IF… but a significant idea.

I feel blessed to go after a “new dream” even though I had invested all my years of formal education, I was easily the most unhappy dentist camper and when I started investing more in my “new hobby world” the difference for me personally was profound.  I hated going to the clinic every day – I loved my time with new passionate hobby.  How could I have gone any other way?

If you visit with anyone else who has found something to do – that they absolutely love doing (and they have also found a way to get paid well to do it) it is almost embarrasing because “work” isn’t supposed to be fun – ever.  But when you find someone who does enjoy their work – they are generally few and far between, so besure to ask them how they “transformed their lives” as well and to a “person” they will tell you that what they did was “…pick up a thread of interest” and never let go.  They climbed a mountain of their own choice and never gave up – never – never – never.

So… how do you find that thread of interest.  I found a unique and powerful way to do that very thing.  All though I started out my journal as a bit of an obsession, I gradually began to see that what I had “collected” in my journal was like a virtual mirror back on my interests.  For years, I have collected what I call “zingers” and put them into one place.  I call it my BUSINESS WORKING JOUNRAL.  I made a sorta/kinda business plan (life & living) plan when I was young and I have enjoyed collecting for years, all the neat stuff I loved and dreamed about.  Then, as I started to really spend even more time with this collection of my “interests” I started to see a pattern of the very things that I loved a great deal.  And all I did when I began to “see” this pattern was lean my life that way.

Again, if you get into most people’s lives (those who have succeeded at something, the pattern is almost the same again.

A GREAT DREAM…

LEADS TO SOME HOPE…

WHICH LEADS TO SOME FAITH…

WHICH LEADS TO SOME TRYING AND DOING…

AND THAT EFFORT ALWAYS LEADS TO EXPERIENCE

WHICH IN TURN SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE OUR JUDGEMENT

AND THAT MY FRIEND, WILL LEAD YOU TO TRUE CAPACITY…

Which, if you are in love with what you are doing – will produce results that are even “beyond” anything that you could ever imagine.  I promise.

Dr. Lew                                                                                                                                                                         A passionate prescription

My name is Doctor Lew Jensen. Most people know me as the hobby doctor.

I retired from dentistry, after 15 years of practice, to pursue a career that I truly enjoyed and set out on a mission to turn my life into my living. I have been living my dream ever since.

These days I focus mainly on helping others escape the boredom and frustrating of their “normal careers” and show them that there is a much better way to live – and make a living. I have helped many others do the same as I did over 30 years ago – escape from their jobs and turn a hobby into a profitable business.
