Do you try to control outcomes? I believe we all do to some extent.
Sometimes patience is required to get what we want accomplished. We wouldn’t take a cake out of the oven before it’s fully baked, nor would we leave an intersection before the light turns green.
Daily life requires self-control. Keep working diligently to build and grow your life. The desired results will come, but not by force…
Do you want something? Do you really really want it? Plant the vision in your mind. Think about it all the time. Get emotionally excited about it, and then work for it. You will make it happen…
We live in a broken, imperfect world. Good and bad things happen to us. Rather than asking why they happened, ask what can I learn from this. We learn more from bad experiences than the good…
Many people talk about moving out of their comfort zone, but how many actually do it? That takes faith, wisdom, and discernment that you are on the right path.
If your motives are true, right and noble, you are going the right direction. And remember, growth only comes in the discomfort zone…
Are you fulfilled in your life? If you answered yes, congratulations! But if your answer is no, you have the power to change your life.
A fulfilling life has nothing to do with money. It’s about service. Serving others changes you. There’s something magical and unexplainable about the feeling you get when you do something for someone who can never repay you.
If you aren’t getting all you want from life, ask for more. Then go do the work…
The National Enquirer was founded in 1926 as a legitimate news source, but subscriptions didn’t take off until the late 1950’s when the publication morphed into a sensational tabloid. It seemed The Enquirer had found it’s niche.
Why is there an appetite for getting the dirt on famous people’s lives? They are just like you and me with families, friends, struggles, successes and heartache. Perhaps we like to focus on the lives of others so we don’t have to look at ourselves. Or maybe we empathize with their plight and realize, they are just like us.
Introspection is the difficult, but worthwhile way to go. Leave the lives of others alone, and keep the focus on building your life…
People who have mediocre mindsets will try to drag you down to their way of thinking. You can’t lift them up. It’s best to take the hard step and separate yourself from those people. They will find other prey, and you will be better off…
We assume things. For example, when we meet someone who reminds us of someone else, we have a tendency to treat them like the other person they remind us of. This is called projection, and it’s not right or fair. Each person needs to be considered individually for who they are.
Don’t get caught up in the stories we tell ourselves. You might miss something…
Be a lifelong learner. Read great books, explore art and culture, and listen to others…really listen. Everyone wants to be seen and heard. We can learn something from everyone…
There are no “get rich quick” or “lose weight without diet or exercise” plans. These offer results without requiring any real effort on our part.
Real satisfaction comes from earning your way through life. Yes, it is challenging to lose weight and get toned, but it’s possible. You can do anything you set your mind to. You just have to want it…
