"Throughout history successful people have consistently illustrated 4 common threads running through their legacy: Passion, Abundance, Confidence and Expectation. That's why I created the PACE Method." Darnyelle A. Jervey

Each of these people, if you look closely at their legacy, have four common threads running through them. It's no secret that those who succeed develop an inate ability to focus on living a life that exudes passion, abundance, confidence and expectation. The definitions are simple enough but it is the tenacity at which each is applied that creates the success. Let me define them for you:
Passion - a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything
Abundance- an extremely plentiful or over sufficient quantity or supply, overflowing fullness; affluence, wealth
Confidence - belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance
Expectation - an expectant mental attitude; a prospect of future good or profit.
Jesus Christ. J.K. Rowling. Oprah Winfrey. President Obama. Mary Kay Ash. Harriet Tubman. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Maya Angelou. Darnyelle A. Jervey.
Look at the names again, see what I mean?
When you line up your Passion, Abundance, Confidence and Expectation, you will meet the Incredible You and enjoy unsurmounted success. If you need help getting them in order, I invite you to register for my teleboot camp; R U A Passionista tm, where passion meets distinction in life and business by clicking here.

Are you a Passionista?
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sitting on a panel for entrepreneurs who have a desire to turn their passion into a paycheck. One of my fellow panelists said something that spurred a couple of incredible emotions in me and really made me look at the passion that rests inside of my bosom. I decided a long time ago and I wanted to make sure that whatever I did when I grew up, it would bear fruit. But not just any fruit, passion fruit. Passion fruit is sweet, juicy and full of vitamins and effective minerals to aid the body in digestion, weight loss and other key things. So I took the analogy of being a passion fruit bearer to the next level and decided to make sure that everything that I did, personally and professionally would have to be sweet, juicy and full of vitamins and effective minerals for the personal and professional growth of others as well as myself. So, to make it happen I employed a few simple steps that I am asking you now so that you can determine if you, too are a passionista, capable of bearing that sweet, juicy, vitamin fruit not just for yourself but also for the others who will follow the lead that you set in your life.
You might be a passionista if you:
1. Have identified your Purpose. Knowing what you are here for is so important if you want to exude passion or, the ability to eat, sleep and drink about that thing that makes it alright that other areas of your life go untouched or uninfluenced so long as your passion is ignited and you are working hard to make your dream and zest for life come true...in whatever form it is currently taking. Passion means that you will "pass it on" to others so that you can inspire and ignite them to burn the box of trepidation, despair and doubt and move into peace, performance and prosperity.
2. Have an Abundance mentality. - Poverty is a mindset. There are many people who lack financial resources that are rich because their mindset is full of hope, desire, determination and most importantly abundance. Even when you lack, you can have so much if you remove mediocrity from your vocabulary.
3. Have decided that you will create your own destiny in Confidence. Success is not for the faint at heart. If you want big things, you must do big things. You must fail big but you must get back up and keep it moving. Confidence says "I've got this, without saying a word." Confidence knows that no matter what it looks like right now, I am on top of my game and I will not give up no matter what. To be a true passionista, confidence must be your mainstay in life because I promise you that the disappointments and moments of despair are coming. Sometimes we can see them far off, other times we cannot, but a confident passionista does not get alarmed regardless of what the situation looks like.
4. Have decided that you will not allow what you see to adversely affect what you believe. I am sure that this one is pretty self-explanatory. Your faith aligns with your P.A.C.E.
5. Are enthusiastically expecting for the best in all situations. Again, expectation does not look at right now, it looks at what is to come. Expectation does not get caught up in where you are from because it is already looking ahead to where you are going!
6. Cannot sleep at night because the assignment you've been given keeps a fire burning in your heart that says "I cannot rest until I have done what I set out to do."
7. Surround yourself with Incredible people...people who speak the Incredible, live in power and expect the Incredible in their lives. You become like the 5 people with whom you spend most of your time....Are they powerful? Are they Incredible, Are they a passionista?
8. Are a thermistat and not a thermometer...Thermometers are controlled by their surroundings…changing their temperature to suit the environment in which they are positioned; yet, thermistats set the P.A.C.E. and determine the levels of control in their lives. As a passionista, you must be in control of something - your mind, will and emotions.
9. Are fertilizer and not weed killer. Are you nourishing good ground with your words, thoughts and actions or are you killing the hopes and dreams of another because you are an Incredible SnatcherTM? Or better still are you killing yourself softly with your doubt, debt and despair?
10. Complete a self-assessment or Inspect the Incredible that you are to become on a frequent basis. As they say, “school is never out for the pro.” Well, change is never out for the Incredible. Move with the cheese, yet stand firm in your determination and non-negotiable decision to achieve your heart's desire by being a living example of passion fruit and bearing your passion proudly and boldly for all to see and marvel while they say, "Man, he/she is Incredible! He/She must be a Passionista!”

Set the PACE to achieve your Dreams
Living an Incredible life is much simplier than we all make it seem. An Incredible Life is a mindset, a state of mind if you will. Very easily, you can take the lid off your thinking and move from forgetable to Incredible! Once you start living out on the branch where the fruit of life is, you will notice that every day problems and obstacles no longer become hindrances or stumbling blocks that get in your way and keep you from fulfilling your Incredible life goals and dreams. The steps to an Incredible life are simple:
1. Consult your higher source for everything you need, want, believe and dream. Make your source, (mine is the One and True Living God) your CEO. Give control over your destiny to Him, He will handle your dreams with care. He will line up relationships that are Incredible!
2. Evaluate and re-evaluate your associations - you become like the 5 people you spend your time with. Each quarter, I make a list of the people who are in my space and I re-evaluate their place in my life. If, when I think of them, I am inspired and believe that they are an Incredible part of my world, they get a +. If, when I think of them, I feel negativity or am perplexed at the thought of the value they add to my existence, they get a -. If I feel absolutely nothing one way of another, they get a /. I am sure that by now you've guessed it, + signs get to stay! - signs have to go and / signs have one more quarter to influence my life Incrediblly so that they can stay or they have to hit the road. Constantly evaluating your associations will help to ensure that the Incredible person you are becoming does not get jaded or crowded by Incredible snatchers - those people who only want to suck the Incredible out of you!
3.Make a Vision Board or Goal Poster. Habukkak 2:2 in the Old Testament of the King James Bible says "write the vision and make it plain." It goes on to say, "write it on tablets [goal poster]." Where are you going in this life? Ask yourself the following question, "What can I begin to do today to make my life Incredible?" Follow that question with this one: "If I could be doing anything in the world and money was not an object, what would I be doing?" Then write it down. From there, brainstorm and come up with more ideas that all lead back to that first question. An old business model says that "what gets attended to gets done"....You want to make sure that your 16x20 sized goal is back by a 16x20 sized POSTER or VISION BOARD. Don't believe that you will remember it, write it down. In fact, get some post-it notes and stick smaller versions of your goals all over the place to serve as a constant reminder that you can achieve anything you put your mind to!
4. Do something everyday that gets you closer to the vision you have for an Incredible life. Daily activity creates habits and habits create consistency, consistency creates confidence and consistent confidence is the gateway to dreams realized!
5. Live with PACE
P- Plan with Purposeful Passion
A - Achieve with Abundant Attitude
C - Create with Consistent Confidence
E - Execute with Enthusiastic Expectation.
Future posts will break down the PACE. Stay Tuned!
Get Inspired, Feel Incredible!Always remember, if you can see the invisible, God can do the impossible so dream the INCREDIBLE!
