I will not be a victim to my circumstances, my weakness, or my AGE. I will not make excuses. I will succeed or fail. And then try again, often at something harder.

If you want to be interesting, be interested. If you wish to truly learn, teach. If you would like to be wealthy, be generous. Every day is an opportunity to raise your life to a higher level by giving the best that you have. Put it into action and make things happen. 

The gift you receive, to start each day a new, is the universes way of providing absolute power in your hands to make it what you choose it to be. Cleans yourself of all the thoughts, actions, and beliefs leading up to today that may have kept you from your achievements and begin fresh with renewed energy, action and optimism. YOU create your own successes, whatever they may be. 

Well, it is days like this that allow me to be thankful for life.  My day started with a 7:15am BOSU BLAST group class, then jumped in car and boogied to my other training facility and went from 8:30-12:30 before a quick 30 minute break.  Then closed out the next hour and half training.  All the while my 6 year (Kaila) was out of schooled and hung out with me.  She was a trooper, just smiled and kept busy in the gym.  After a loooong day, we just got back from a dad/daughter play and park walk.  Now she is enjoying the rewards of a cool (popsicle) treat.  It has been a great day :-)

Success does not come to those who merely have great ideas. Success comes to those who have great ideas and who follow through on them. The best of intentions are useful only when you follow through on them. So, when you think of doing something, listen and take action immediately. Don’t let the idea, intention, or vision slip away. Take action and make it real.

Others can point the way, but you must make the journey. Others can give you their assistance and advice, but you must choose the direction. No reward can equal the reward of creating your own achievements. Make the commitment, make the effort, and make your own way in life. You’ll never regret it.

Failure is nothing to fear. When you move past the fear of failure, it can open the door to amazing success. It frees you from getting started on something new, pushes you to excel and builds confidence to succeed. Embrace it, and you destroy its power over you. 

Today is a great day to make things happen. Set a goal, chart a course, take stock of your situation and use it to create new value. Pay no attention to those who claim to know how things will be. Your future is yours to determine. You don’t need anyone’s permission. You don’t need to wait for certain circumstances to line up in a specific way. Today be productive, be effective and fulfill all your possibilities. 

Does it make sense to spend all your energy fighting battles that don’t really matter? Those who can see bigger picture are able to focus on achieving bigger, more positive results.  What positive action are you going to do today?  Pass this on to a friend, you would be surprised in how you have the capability to inspire others.
