How to Prevent Your Storage Items From Being Auctioned

Are you the renter of a self-storage unit?  If so, you may have heard of storage unit auctions.  At first glance, they may cause you some concern.  Can you fall victim to these auctions?  Can your possessions really be sold at one?  Yes, they can, but there are steps that you can take to prevent this from happening.

Pay Your Bill

The reason for public storage auctions is unpaid bills.  Your storage unit bill should be treated like any other important bill.  Treat it just like your mortgage or car payment.  If you miss enough payments, your home can be foreclosed on or your car can be repossessed.  The same thing can happen with self-storage units.  In some ways, your belongings are held as collateral.

Never let your bill fall behind more than two months at a time.  Your best bet is to keep it updated and paid on time.  If you foresee financial difficulties ahead, remove your belongings while your account is still in good standing.  Store them at your home or at the home of a close friend or family member.

Why We Need to Be Inspired



For anything excellent and great that you wish to accomplish in your life, there's one imperative requirement - inspiration. A great inspiration brings with it a wave of power that by itself may propel you over the finish line. Conversely when we're empty of inspiration, everything may appear hard, boring and dull, and we acquire no joy out of what we're doing.

Inspiration is so crucial as it keeps the mind positive and centered on the greater picture. We frequently believe we're in command of our minds and what we think, but even a brief analysis of our thoughts brings out another story: that our damaging thoughts act as a big barrier to our self growth.

Heaven's Grocery Store





As I was walking down life's highway many years ago,
I came upon a sign that read Heavens Grocery Store.
When I got a little closer the doors swung open wide,
Then when I came to myself I was standing inside.

I saw a host of angels and they were standing everywhere,
One handed me a basket and said, "My child shop with care."
Everything a human needed was in that grocery store,
And what you could not carry, you could always come back for more.

First I got some Patience -- Love was in that same row,
Further down was Understanding -- you need that everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom and Faith a bag or two,
And Charity, of course, I would need some of that too.

I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost -- He was all over the place,
And some Strength and Courage to help me run this race.
My basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed Grace!

And then I chose Salvation, for Salvation was for free,
I tried to get enough of that to do for you and me.
Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought that I had everything to do the Master’s Will.

As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and put that in,
For I knew that when I stepped outside, I would run into sin.
Peace and Joy were plentiful -- the last things on the shelf,
Song and Praise were hanging near, so I just helped myself.

Then I said to the angel, "Now how much do I owe?"
He smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again I asked "Really now, how much do I owe?"
"My child" he said, "God paid your bill a long, long time ago!"

Time to Start A Healthier Life


 How many times have you gone to sleep at night, swearing you'll go to the gym in the morning, and then changing your mind just eight hours later because when you get up, you don't feel like exercising? 

While this can happen to the best of us, it doesn't mean you should drop the ball altogether when it comes to staying fit. What people need to realize is that staying active and eating right are critical for long-term health and wellness -- and that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The more you know about how your body responds to your lifestyle choices, the better you can customize a nutrition and exercise plan that is right for you. 

Proper eating habits plus exercise equals fast metabolism, which, in turn gives you more energy throughout the day and allows you to do more physical work with less effort. The true purpose of exercise is to send a repetitive message to the body asking for improvement in metabolism, strength, aerobic capacity and overall fitness and health. Each time you exercise, your body responds by upgrading its capabilities to burn fat throughout the day and night, Exercise doesn't have to be intense to work, but it does need to be consistent.
