Do you need education, or motivation?

“If someone is going in the wrong direction they don’t need motivation to speed them up, they need education to turn them around!” – Jim Rohn

Are you going in the right direction?  If so, go fast!  If not – turn around!

Be true to you

If I say to myself I am going to do something, (even though I was in quite a good and optimistic mood when I said it) I do it.  “I’m going to work out tonight”, “I’m going to write Think Daily messages Saturday morning before I do anything else, “I am going to get that project done and to my graphics team by Tuesday”.

I don’t lie to myself.  This keeps me realistic and moving forward.

How about you?

Consistency

Stop and start is hard.  People give up.

Don’t stop.  Be consistent.  Get out there over and over again.  

Make progress a habit.  Stay with it.  The habits and skills and results will accumulate over time.

Be consistent.

Make Courage Unnecessary

You need courage to get out of your comfort zone. 

When you do it enough, you become confident. 

When you are confident, courage is no longer necessary.

What do you want to be confident with now?

Muster up the courage first.

Born this way

What were you born to be?

Advanced Scout

Your imagination is the advanced scout to the rest of your life.  It’s the preview of coming attractions.

Spend time to connect with the voice inside you, and imagine.

Dream and find the ideal path.

Create your future.

See it.

What do you see?

Natural Healing

I’m listening to one of “The Great Courses” on natural healing and the instructor, who used to be a cardiologist putting in stents every day, noted that doctors don’t (have time to) ask you what you are doing, eating, thinking, or about your environment or habits when you have a problem.  They resort to drugs and surgery quickly.

But there is a cause for our ills.  We have to recognize it and make the connection.

“It’s more important to know about what kind of person has the disease than to know what kind of disease the person has”.

What are you doing, that is causing you?

Do your job

On the congested roads of failure, scandal, tragedy, and ruin, it has been my observation that someone didn’t do their job.

Life is the acceptance of responsibilities or their evasion.

You got this?

Trying to fix everyone's problems?

If we take on too many burdens to make other’s lives easier, especially when they won’t, we can easily find that we just can’t fix all the problems for everyone in the world.  We’d run out of our own time and resources and then we may need help ourselves.

“Sympathy for all would be tyranny for thee”. – Freidrich Nietzsche 

You can’t do it all yourself.  Just chose.

Do you lie to this person?

Do you keep your word with YOU?

How many times do you tell yourself you are going to do this or stop doing that – and then you don’t?

Keep your integrity with yourself.  If you have to tell others about your commitments and promises to help you keep them, go ahead.  If you have to make goal charts or make signs for yourself or give any other visual reminders or representations, go ahead.  You can make it easier on yourself to keep the promises you made when you were strong and thinking clearly.

When you keep your own commitments, you feel good about yourself and start to like yourself more – and that makes a huge difference in your life.

What promise did you make?
