Are you a giver?

“If you wish to become great, learn to become the servant of many” – Bible

Life gives to the giver, and takes from the taker.

What is your philosophy for your life?

Name one item – such as “I believe if you help others and put good out there it will come back to you.”

Ok, now name another part of your beliefs for living.

A third?

It’s an interesting exercise to clarify and put into words what you really believe.  Then you can re-allocate your time and double down on the good.

"Destiny Math"

If you take what you are doing now, multiplied by 25 years, where does that take you?

How much of your day is yours?

If you spent a few minutes and think about yesterday, how much of the day were you responding to someone else’s agenda, and how much of it did you use to advance your own goals?

Cry forward

“You can whine and cry, just cry while you’re still running forward.” – Robin Benincasa, adventure racer.

When it sucks, you can say so – but just don’t stop making progress.

Winning is forward!

Don’t look back.

Eyes on the prize!

Commitment starts when the fun stops

Anyone can say they are committed when it’s easy and fun.  But when it starts to hurt, suck, rain, get hot/cold/dark, and the non-believers start hitting you with sarcasm and doubt…well, that’s when you find out if you really want this, and how bad.

What do you say you want – and how bad do you want it?

Unlimiting the definition of who you are.

To make a real change in your life, you have to see yourself as a different person. 

While you thinking of yourself the way you are now makes you a good version of you, it also limits you from moving forward into being even better.

Make a new definition in your mind first, and repeat it very often until you believe it.  Then, you’ll step into your beliefs easily.

“She became a different person.  She wasn’t afraid of it anymore.  She did what she always really wanted but never thought it was her.  She became comfortable and even powerful in an area she was once weak.  She became bigger, taller, and energized by her new life.

Then..she opened her eyes…and did it.” – LJ

Are you a manufactured product, or free?

Do you primarily pay attention to information and messages coming inward and think and react accordingly?

Or do you set your attention on what you chose that supports you living to your potential, ignoring most of what is trying to get to you?

When ashes fall, legends rise.

When a catastrophe happens in your life, there is real hurt and pain. But it’s what you do with it that matters in the long term.

When something happens “TO” you, you can either be disabled by it – OR – you can look at what it does ‘FOR’ you, and you can LEARN FROM IT. It’s a choice you have to make.

You may not see it at first, and perhaps no explanation can come soon about what good could come of it. But if you work at it, you can USE what happened for good – for you and others. I can speak for the traumatic events that have happened in my life – they were doorways to something different and better.

What’s the worst thing that has ever happened to you? Can you see what it has done FOR you?
