One of the Most Important Choices You Have To Make Today

“Your life doesn’t get better by chance. It gets better by change.”

Isn’t it just so true that life is constantly changing? Think about where you are today and compare it to where you were 5 years ago. Things are different aren’t they?

For me, they are completely different — I live in a different place; I have a different job. Of course there are also new responsibilities, challenges, possibilities and a whole new set of goals and dreams that I have.

The one thing we know for sure is that life is going to continually change. And, what I ~~finally realized~~ stumbled into is that since it is inevitable that life is going to change, the best thing we can and should do is make sure we are taking advantage of that reality.

We’ve got to choose to play a very active role when it comes to creating the future we want. If we don’t and we just sit back, things have a way of “just happening”.

We are literally wasting the power we have to shape the way things play out.

Are You Moving Forward Quickly Enough? Here’s How You Can Easily Do It

“Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.” – Unknown

Are you good at quickly changing up your routine? If you find a new and improved way of doing something, are you the type of person that immediately makes whatever changes are necessary and integrates the new routine into your day?

I have always been open minded when it comes to making changes and realizing there may be a better way of doing things than what I have been doing. But, I can’t say that I always moved quickly enough when it came to actually changing things up.

I didn’t really realize how important it is to move quickly until I came across some information on “Speed of Implementation”. But, now that I know, it is something I am continually focused on — because speed really matters. [Read more...]

How To Make Sure You Aren’t Thinking Too Small – Get What You Really Want

“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.” Michelangelo

Do you want to know one of the easiest traps to fall into? Setting your aim too low.

How do I know it’s an easy trap to fall into?

Because I fell into that trap and didn’t even realize it.

I had no clue I had set my aim too low because I was setting all types of goals and making pretty good progress.

However, there was one problem … and it was a pretty big one.

I was creating goals and deciding what was possible based on where I was and not necessarily where I ultimately wanted to be if the sky was the limit.

For some reason, I decided that when it came to setting goals and going after things, I needed to be “practical” and go after things that were “actually possible”. [Read more...]

How You Can Finally Get Rid of Your “I’ll Do It Later” Mentality and Never Procrastinate

“If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.” ~Olin Miller

Do you ever wonder why there are certain things that you know you need to do and take care of, but for one reason or another you just don’t do them?

The task that has been on your “to do” list since the beginning of time

The assignment at work that you soooo need to complete

The little projects you’ve been meaning to handle at home for at least 2 months

Seriously, why is it that sometimes we let these things go undone day after day? We know we are eventually going to have to do them, but we keep putting them off.

I can’t even begin to tell you the crazy number of things (both big things and even small, easy to do things) that used to be on my “I’ll Do It Later List”.

I would continue moving them to the bottom of my priority list and then convince myself that I would just do them later. It literally used to take me forever to do certain tasks that for one reason or another I couldn’t seem to prioritize.

And, the weird things was that I would still be handling other things. [Read more...]
