Ask yourself these questions:

-Why do you do what you do?
-What drives you?
-What is the reason you wake up every day and do what you do?
-Is it for yourself or is for the people who need you?
-What lights a fire within you?

You can also have more, do more and be more. You know this, right??

Fight for your purpose!! Fight for the dreams you have and never stop!! We can all be more if we drive ourselves by living our purpose. 

Your Purpose, Your Why, What is it? We all need a reason to get up every day. Find that purpose and write it down. Carry it with you and look at it every day. It will help you decide to fight harder every day for what it is. 

We all have the ability to be more!

It's all within your Purpose or Why!

I don't follow this up and coming superstar in the personal development world too often but Brendon Barchard is truly fantastic. I came across this 11 minute video that I believe you will love. I will let the video do all the talking this time. The video is about Raising Your Standards! Tony Robbins always says that if you want to change your life, you Must Raise Your Standards. Raising your standards all comes from the eyes of the beholder. What Standards Must You Raise?

These are the 5 Standards that Brendon Believes you must improve to have a Better Life:

1. Health- Improve your health and becoming happier and more energized and effective happens almost automatically. Raise your standards on how much sleep you get and how well you eat and take care of your body.

2. Focus- Get more focused on what you desire in this hour, this day, this life. Bring your awareness to this moment and what you want to be doing and experiencing now. 

3. Boldness/Courage- Where you are in life right now is a direct reflection of how bold you've been up to this point. How boldly do you share yourself, your ideas, your needs and dreams with the world? 

4. Joy- Do you expect that you're going to have fun today and in life? Better yet, do you demand of yourself to be the person who brings the joy, who has fun and helps others have fun no matter what? Joy is a choice!

5. Kindness- People are so driven and distracted that they've often lost the awareness to be kind to others. They might call themselves compassionate, but they are not kind. Kindness is compassion activated - you actually show you care through your actions. Raising your standards here will help you reach higher levels of happiness, service, and humanity.

Happy Motivational Monday!!!!

I hope I find you Inspired and Fired Up for another Spectacular Week!!

Today, I would like to talk about Never Giving Up!! Whether it's a goal you're seeking or just going through a tough time, you have to push through. We all go through rough times in our life where we doubt ourselves and some of the decisions we have made. Let me tell you, that's life. As Tony Robbins says "Life Happens For Us and Not To Us." We all have to learn from our failures and pick ourselves up and keep going. The bottom line is, we can Never Give Up!! We all have a brain that was built to survive and we have to utilize that gift. So, what are you going to do to get back on track? What are you going to do to get Motivated and Have An Outstanding Week?

Today is the day!! It's the first day of the rest of your life. Let's get it together and go after those dreams. Let's review our Action Plan, Commitment To Your Dream, Belief That It's Possible and Never Give Up!!!

The video below is Powerful Training for your Mind. Watch it!! Learn From It!! Believe!!!

Happy Gratitude Sunday!

What are you most grateful for, this very minute? What are you grateful for this week? Gratitude, like most things, has to be practiced to really get the full benefit. From thinking about gratitude on an hourly basis to just feeling alive and well, you have so much to be Thankful for. 

Yesterday, I wrote about Loving What You Do and Mastering any job you are blessed to have. This is a form of gratitude. Loving What You Do helps you to grow and send great intention for better things to come. The video below is a perfect example of having the Attitude of Gratitude. If we learn to Love and Appreciate our family, health, friends, home, car, job, possessions, and the ability to learn and grow, Better things will come for each and every one of us.

Enjoy the video!!

Winners,

When it comes to work, we have to Love What We Do opposed to Doing What You Love. There is a difference. Over the last 10-20 years we have pushed the idea that we must pursue our passion, but the reality is that we cannot all do what we love for a living. We cannot all be some famous singer or actor. Some of us have to sweep the floors, deliver furniture, be a cashier, sell furniture, appliances or something to someone, clean, lead, etc. So, selling the dream that we all have to do what we love for a living can make people feel unhappy. It also gives people a reason to complain about their job. So, what's the answer? The answer is to make a choice to Love What We Do. 

To Love What You Do, I believe you have to Master your craft and be Grateful for your job. It wasn't too long ago that we didn't have electricity, indoor plumping, cars, warm or cool homes. You pretty much had to work every day to survive and put food on the table. By Mastering your job and becoming the best at what you do, you will start to love it. So, Master your craft by performing your job to the best of your ability. Know your products inside out and serve your clients. Every job will create lasting changes if you master it and appreciate it. 

The five minute video below is excellent!! Take five minutes to watch and learn.

Winners,

Change is something we all have to deal with on a daily basis. For some of us, it's overwhelming. For others, it's just another day. In the next ten years, we will see 100 years of change. Once we have 5G throughout the country, you will see massive amounts of change. There are some wonderful things that will come from this change like self driving cars. That's right, most households will have one car. That car will drive you to work and then return home to pick up your spouse or kids and then continue to drive to the next stop. The car will come when you need it. Robberies will be a thing of the past because everyone will be under surveillance 24/7. Social Credit Scores will most likely sweep the world just as they have in China. The more productive you are, the better your score. The better your score the more freedoms you will have.  So, when I talk about embracing change, I mean real change. Oh, did I forget to talk about the flying cars!! 

Embrace the change and control only what you can control. If you live life through the eight steps of life you won't fear the future. Health, Love, Family, Work, Friendship, Learning, Wealth and Charity are the eight steps to a better life. If you focus on those and what you can control life will be as fulfilling if not more in the next ten years. 

The video below is from Tony Robbins "Take Control Of Your Mind" we will need this in a big way!!

Happy Gratitude Sunday,

Every Sunday I write about gratitude and being grateful for what you have. It's something near and dear to my heart and it's a big part of my Beautiful State. I go throughout my day giving thanks, even if it's just for the little things in life. Like with anything in life, it takes practice and commitment. 

I would love to see everyone become more grateful for what they have. At times, we can take the little things, like waking up, for granted as well as the simple things in life. We all have so much, if we focus on these precious gifts. 

Instead of going through a list of things we should all be grateful for, I want you to do the exercise. Take out a piece of paper and write down all the things you are grateful for. Sometimes you have to dig deep if you're in a suffering state. Give it some time and look around at what you have. What do you see? How do you feel? In most cases we don't have to look far to see or feel things we should be grateful for. If you need some help, watch the video below. I think you will find the video very inspiring. Focus on what you have and not on what you don't have.

Enjoy this incredible video!! 

Winners,

I have been writing to you every day for the past 11 months now about personal development. At times, I wondered how I could pull it off with my busy schedule. Why do I do it? I do it for you and I do it for myself. It truly has been the greatest habit and ritual of my life. I look forward to waking up and figuring out what to write about and hand selecting a video from YouTube on that given day. I appreciate the comments and I know they make a difference in the lives of another. It's all been a choice and I LOVE IT!!

So, what choices do you make on a daily basis? For example, we have a choice to live in a Beautiful State or a Suffering/Stressful State every minute of every day. A Beautiful State comes from the heart. It's a state of calmness, connectedness, creativity, gratitude, love, compassion, presence, innovation, bliss, health, wealth, abundance and so much more. A Suffering State is a life of fear, worry, sadness, frustration, being overwhelmed, angry, depressed, agitated etc. These two states are a choice. It takes a lot of work to live in a Beautiful State. As Tony Robbins explains in the video below, he has a 90 second rule, if he falls out of the Beautiful State. A Suffering State on the other hand is easy to live in because most of the information you allow into your mind comes from a Suffering State. 

If you decide to live 98% of your life in a Beautiful State, it will take a lot of learning, meditation and control of every thought you have. Is it worth it? The answer is Yes!! Watch the video below and read on the subject of a Beautiful State. It could turn your life from average to outstanding over night.

DO YOU WANT TO BE UNSTOPPABLE?

If you want something out of life, you do it by working on yourself first. You are the director of your life and you determine your life and where you are headed. Whatever you have in your life right now is a result of what you have thought you should be, or have. We all deserve more and you have what it takes to get it. But if you don't believe in yourself, it won't happen for you. Yes, it takes courage! Yes, it's Hard!! Yes, you will have to work hard for it!! But It's Worth It!!

You can be UNSTOPPABLE with sheer determination to Win!! Be UNSTOPPABLE and work towards your dreams!! 

Winners,

Obsession is a great tool if used for creating your best life. Obsession is not a bad thing when it's applied to eating good food, exercising daily and learning to be a better friend, better family man/woman and a better teammate. Improving yourself should be an obsession. It is only unhealthy if it is applied in only one area of your life while neglecting others. 

Get obsessed with the things that will change your life forever!!

Have a Spectacular and Grateful Day!!

Living within your means is a topic I have not written about, and yet, it's so important. I believe that if my Destiny is to help others get what they want, that includes financial freedom. This past year we have turned our company into an Employee Owned company. The main reason for doing so is to help our employees become owners and share in the wealth. If we all do the right thing for our clients, we will all be rewarded. So, if we share the wealth with our employees and also have a 401k program, is that enough? Maybe? 

I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with a Grandmother that survived the Great Depression. She taught me to always save for a rainy day. She taught our family to live within our means and never spend money on things we can't afford. She used to say, "Regardless of what you make you must save some money." "If you want more income you must provide more value to your boss." Those were two great life lessons that I believe everyone should live by. At some point, this positive economic cycle will come to an end and we will need some savings to get through the next recession. Do you have those savings? 2019 will be a strong economic year. Take this advice to the bank and save some money now. If you have credit card debt, start to pay it off. Yes, you will have to make sacrifices to have what you want. Do it now to protect yourself from the downside. 

Below is a Great Leadership Video. We are all leaders!! We are in control of our own lives and we must lead ourselves and others to victories. Enjoy the Video!!

Great Morning,

It's Gratitude Sunday!! Despite the Blizzard today, we must be grateful. Gratitude is one of the strongest emotions we can have to get us through tough times. Just sit back and think of all the things you are grateful for today. To start with, you woke up! Give thanks for the food and shelter. Give thanks for your mental toughness. Give thanks for your family and friends. Give thanks for all of the blessings you have been given. 

You can weather any storm and difficult time if you focus on what you DO have and not on what you DON'T have. 

Make the best out of this day and be grateful for the opportunities that come your way.

Enjoy the gratitude video below...

Winners,

What are you focusing on these days? You feel what you focus on and you get what you focus on. If you focus on fear, you will find it. If you focus on the outcome, you will get it. If you focus on increasing sales through building average ticket, that's just what you'll do. This works in every aspect of your life. You have the power to change your life through focus. The more you understand and train your brain what to focus on, the better your life will be. Do you focus on the past, present or future? Do you focus on debt or savings? Do you focus on being present for your spouse when you have a conversation? Do you focus on what you can control, or what you can't?

The video below from Tony Robbins is one of my favorites!! It's about the Power Of Choice!! We choose to live the life we have through focus and choice. Enjoy the video!!

Winners,

The video below is titled "Never Give Up". What do those three words mean to you? For us to have what we want, we have to have that inner drive that says, "I Will Never Give Up Until I Achieve My Goal". Change is tough, life it tough, saving is tough, goals are tough, success is tough, relationships are tough etc. For us to have the life we want we must have massive amounts of discipline and a Never Give Up Attitude! The greatest in any field reach that level of performance because they Never Give Up! They find a way to grind through the tough times and Win! Thomas Edison discovered the light bulb on his 1001st try. Walt Disney could not get a loan from a bank to start Disney Land until his 325th attempt. How many times will it take for you to achieve the success you are looking for? 

If Happiness = Progress then why do so many give up? We all need to grow and improve, and having that deep hunger to try one more time will help you to Win and to find that Happiness you've always wanted.

NEVER GIVE UP!! Go after those dreams that you deserve!! Do It Now!!!

Winners,
You have greatness within you! There is no limit to what you can achieve if you do the hard work to get it. As Zig Ziglar says, "You'll get everything you want if you help enough people get what they want." Give that some thought! What could you do enough times to help others? If you're in sales and you did everything you could to satisfy the needs of the client, would you not get what you want? Put the client first and serve them. If you're a leader, put your staff first. Regardless of what you do, if you serve another, you will be rewarded. It also makes you feel great knowing you have helped another. 
 
Quotes from Jim Rohn, the pioneer of Personal Development and Mentor to Tony Robbins:

• "The major key for your little future is YOU!"
• "You can have more than you've got, because you can become more than you are."
• "Unless you change how you are, you'll always have what you've got."
• "YOU MUST BE WILLING TO FAIL FOR YOU TO GROW!!!"
• "I AM THE ONLY PROBLEM I WILL EVER HAVE AND I AM THE ONLY SOLUTION!!"
• "Income does not far exceed personal development."

How do you make something your identity? Anything that you attach "I AM" to, with enough emotional intensity you will become. That's right! If you tell yourself over and over again negative words or thoughts like, I AM Lazy, you will become that. But it also works in the reverse. So be careful what words you attach to "I AM" These are called affirmations, or, with enough energy and body movement, they are called incantations. You can become anything you want to be and have whatever you desire if you put in the time. Do the work and enjoy the outcome! 

Below are a number of positive "I AM's". Use what you like and add to the list the preferred emotions you would like to become.

I AM LOVE!!!
I AM GRATEFUL!!!
I AM BLESSED!!!
I AM HEALTHY!!!
I AM ABUNDANT!!!
I AM YOUNG
I AM A WARRIOR
I AM LIMITLESS
I AM COURAGEOUS 
I AM COMMITTED 
I AM STRONG
I AM SUCCESSFUL 
I AM POWERFUL
I AM CREATIVE 
I AM ABUNDANT 
I AM A ACHIEVER
I AM RICH
I AM FOCUSED
I AM DETERMINED 
I AM HEALTHY
I AM WEALTHY 
I AM BLESSED
I AM CONNECTED
