No risk, no reward.
There have been billions of people throughout history who have had the ability to achieve greatness, whether it was the talent or smarts, they had it. What they didn’t have was the guts to risk the life that they were living. They also didn’t have the work ethic to see their talent realized.
The greatest tragedy in life is wasted talent ~ A Bronx Tale
Whatever your dream is, give it enough of a chance to be realized. Risk if you truly want to see the reward.
Find your dream. Then risk everything to get it.
On wasted time: A bucket with a small hole in the bottom gets just as empty as a bucket that is deliberately kicked over. -Paul Meyer
So, you have complained or griped about wasted time, the bottom line is today is new day to make it right. You can wasted a little time or a lot in not accomplishing your goals, either way it is going to be on you to make it happen.
Its simple - JUST Keep Going! Determination, consistent habits, and constant evolution - YOU CAN DO IT!
No one wants to be just adequate. Our goal is to be more than adequate. Decide today to excel, focus, and be intentional about a particular area of growth in your life. The only way you will see growth is by daily giving your effort, energy, time and priorities to be more than just average.
Choose to take responsibility, to take the initiative, and to take action. Make it your business to make real progress, and you will. Regardless of where you are in life, always strive to learn, teach and inspire...kpg
On a personal note - I stopped by my church today to pickup some things for my 6 month old, Ella Louise at the community services department. So, I decided to stick around and asked to help out. It was moving to spend time just helping others outside of the training environment. Now, I have volunteered many times in the past, but this was different. I actually paid attention to others, folks picking up clothes, food and such.
There are so many people in need, some who were there for a hot meal, something we can take for granted. I looked up and realized an hour plus had went by, there are things in our lives where we say "that is time wasted I will never get back". Well, that was cherised time.
I enjoy volunteering my time, especially when it comes to fitness and health, but this was special, mostly humbling because our time is precious, if we have, then we are called/charged to give to those in need.
Visit me on FB to share your giving moments, really :-)

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

TAKE AWAY:
Love is patient enough to gently lead you when you are afraid and encourages you with confidence, to keep going in the right direction, even when you cannot see.
