Stallion Habit 97 - Break every Yoke

One of the ways that we can break addictions, depression, or whatever we seem to be struggling with is my the simple act of fasting 24 hours without food or water.

You should always fast with the purpose to become more disciplined and with a goal to use a power greater than yourself to overcome whatever "yoke" you are trying to break.

You always begin and end a fast with prayer and meditation.

Also, you should donate the proceeds of what you would have spent on food to your favorite charity or church.

In Isaiah 58:6 it says "It not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"

I really admire people who are disciplined in what they eat, say, or behave. We all have this power within us that can be obtained through a life time of fasting and prayer.

Stallion habit 96- Be positive and upbeat

I heard on the radio that people who suffer from depression are more than twice as likely to suffer from heart attacks.

Over the years, I have come into contact with a lot of depressed people. There are lots of things that can cause depression such as poor health, divorce, financial problems etc.

Although, some people naturally have a disposition to be depressed, this is not a permanent disability. Some take medicine to cope with it and should.

However, most people just need to change their diet, the way they think, and exercise.

Exercise should help a depressed person get lifted out of the routine of feeling sorry for themselves. A lot of depression is because a person is sedintary, and in a rut. A rut in a grave with both ends knocked out of it.

So the song, don't worry, be happy has a lot of wisdom. You will live longer, and all aspects of your life will be better.

Stallion Habit 95 - Get rid of the parasites in your relationship

One of the things while watching the movie fire proof is that you need to get rid of the parasites in your relationship with your spouse.

A parasite is anything that takes away from your relationship that is unhealthy such as flirting with someone who is not your spouse. Or watching or participating in things that encourage your heart to be else where.

What you put your time and efforts into will become your focus.

In the movie, Kirk Cameron takes a love dare and as soon as he starts focusing on doing small things for his wife each day, is when he truly changed and his failing relationship was saved.

I highly recommend this movie even if you think your relationship doesn't need help.

Stallion Habit 94- Power down Debt

This has really become one of the most important principles in my life. It is called power down debt or snowballing debt. Just like a snow ball gets bigger and bigger as it gains momentum, so can your debt be reduced using a similar principle.

First of all, you have to track your debt. Can you examine how much money you spend every month and identify at least $100 in money that is just wasted?

Now you take that $100 and put it towards your lowest pay off bill. Say you have a credit card with a $2000 balance, you would make your regular payment of $100 and take the $100 that you found and make a $200 dollar payment. Instead of paying this off in 20 months, you have cut this to 10.

Now that you have this paid off you take the $200 per month that you were paying, and you apply that towards your next credit card or bill. Let's say you have one for $4000 and your payment is $200. So you make a $400 payment and you pay this off in 10 months instead of 20.

Next you take your next bill of say $6000. You were making a $400 payment. You now take make a $800 payment paying it off in 6.2 months. You get the idea?

How many people just make the minimum payment and pay the maximum interest?

You can free yourself from bondage. Is a home still a good investment? You bet it is. And if you use this principal, you will have it paid off quickly. Then you can really start to build real wealth.

I look forward to working with you.

Stallion habit 93- Take a family vacation

I am pumped to be flying into Puerto Vallarta for a week in January 2009.

We are taking all 7 of our kids. Just the passports alone were a $100 a pop.

My wife's family has 4 of her sisters and all her kids going. Also, her mom and dad is going. There should be quite a lot to do since I have about 20 nephews and nieces.

We usually fly into Puerto Vallarta and then ride a bus up to a little know town called Guayabetos. It is off the beaten path, but still has plenty of restaurants and things to do.

Mostly you swim and play on the beach. You can do lots of shopping. You don't get harassed by the beach vendors as much as being in Puerto Vallarta.

My wife and I have been down there 7 times now, and Julie's parents go down for over a month every year in the middle of January.

Idaho is a great place to leave and go some place warm in the winter. If you hang out here though, there are lots of places to ski and snowmobile.

Let me know if you want to buy a home in the Idaho Falls Idaho real estate market.

Stallion habit 92 - Learn to dance

Watching Brooke Burke win dancing with the stars was a great thing.

This program has made dancing incredible popular right now.

Also, Wii fit offers a dance program that can get you in shape quickly. It helps you with foot work and timing.

When I was in college, I took a social dance class. I learned how to do several dances. The one that I remember doing was the country swing.

Although country music isn't my first choice, I actually met my wife at a country dance. Because I had taken the class and knew how to do the country swing, I was able to develop a relationship with her that led to marriage.

In Idaho, there are lots of places you can dance if you would like to buy a home and move to the Idaho Falls area.

I look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs.
