Like anything GREAT, it takes a time to build and to see it through.  Just like our journey, we need to build it into what it is and can be and this may require us to question ourselves and challenge the reality of it all. We should do this on a regular basis to keep us honest, checkpoint our goals and commitments, as well as help identify any gaps or areas in our life we need to focus on.

Since we have now completed 100 days, day 101 is a chance to check yourself. 

“You are confined only by the walls you build yourself.” – Andrew Murphy

Looking ahead, into the unknown, but with then intention to build something GREAT. 

What would happen if you just went for it?
Deep down, you want to go for it. But you’re scared. The good news: even if you’re scared, you still have a choice. Fear doesn’t run your life; you do.

What’s stopping you?
If you haven’t started working towards what you truly want, something is.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your life priorities. You have your own ideas about the things that would make you and your loved ones truly comfortable and happy, which is your main priority. Since we are all unique individuals with different values, dreams, and aspirations, your core priorities will be different from the next person’s. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for what you determine is your core priority in life. That is your personal business and no one else’s. 

The only limits in life are the ones you make – Unknown

You were born to conquer the world. Born to change the world. Born for greatness and born to make a difference. You can’t always change the “what” you have to do, but you can always change the “why” or “how.” If you change the “why” or change your “how”, you can find your motivation, even for tasks you don’t normally want to do. The fastest thing you can change in any situation is you. You can’t change somebody else, but you can change yourself in an instant. Even if you want to change somebody else, or to change the situation, your fastest path to change is to change yourself, and this can mean how you see things or how you show up or how you choose to do things.

If you started the year with the intention to work on a resolution and you made it up till today (Day 100). This is a shout-out to you! Keep going and keep rocking it!

Challenges, obstacles, unknown variables, doubt, and fear… It’s all a mind game.  Whether or not we succeed in the things we want, we are always making progress. Progress is never defined as a success but more of an onwards movement. So as long as you keep on moving towards your objective one way or another. You have nothing to worry about.

Setbacks are what keep us honest. They bring us back to reality and remind us we are simply human. However, you should never view a setback as a bad experience. It should be just another life lesson.

All of us have goals. Goals like losing weight, earning more money, finding a life partner, setting up our business, achieving performance targets, being fitter, building better relationships, and so on. Some people seem to have no problem achieving their goals. Some, on the other hand, don’t seem to be able to make any progress. – Celestine Chua

The main point to take from this is that even if you have had a setback or maybe you have been lacking with your progress. Regardless, you need to get back out there, you need to be taking action and making your mark.

Do something today that will bring you closer to your goal.

In order to get from A to B we must travel a journey. For those who are wanting to jump ahead… you’re going to need a boost. But how can one find such a boost?

Firstly it requires us to show up in every single moment in life like you’re meant to be there. Taking grasp of what’s on offer and making the best of it. 

How many times does it take us to realize that if we continue to make the same mistakes over and over – that we will never grow?

How many times, must we put ourselves through misery, shame, and embarrassment, because we were too scared to speak up or too scared to take action.

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

There is a cliche that goes on and on, that you should be following your heart… Well, you should!

Hypothetically, let’s say you came into 13 million dollars. No more. No less.

You are living life doing whatever it is you do and in some moments; you question the what if’s, you question when will your dreams come true, you question when will things be better and you ask when will you have all these things?

So let me ask you this: What Would You Do If Money Were No Object?

You have an idea of all these things you want, or want to do… but most of the time (not always) we limit these things based on the object of money.

The money will make life easier and will work as an enabler – but remember that behind the money is a person you can also enable. YOU!

So let’s work backward. Define your ultimate lifestyle, your dream living. Take away the dollars and define what your perfect everyday life would and should look like for the rest of your days.

What does it look like?

So ask yourself now, what is stopping you from working towards this? Please don’t say money…

There is always something you can do to work towards this goal and this dream. You just need to define it right and see it in the right perspective.

This is your chance to take a chance of being yourself and what you can do. Yes, you may have some setbacks, some tough times and some failures.
But once you have counteracted these, grown through these and conquered these. You will be better than ever and I will guarantee that you will be happier too.

That’s everybody is – somebody is interested in everything, anything you can be interested in, you will find others will. But it’s absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don’t like, in order to go on spending things you don’t like, doing things you don’t like and to teach our children to follow in the same track. – Alan Watts

I suggest you get on board with pursuing your heart and taking the risks to finally getting to where you want to be. Don’t worry about the money as when you follow the heart, the money seems to find it’s way with you.

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

What belief are you holding on to? What belief are you living towards?

What are you believing?

Do you believe in yourself?

Do you believe you can do it?

Do you believe you are good enough?

Belief creates maps that guide us towards our dreams and goals. They give us the ability to take action.

The problem is – our beliefs overpower our ability to construct and actually fulfill our goals and dreams.

Why? Because we don’t even believe we are capable of doing something. We limit ourselves before even trying, we limit ourselves to being something not good enough or not this or that.

Let me remind you that you will never be someone else, you will only ever be you. That’s the way it should be. So wake up and realize who you are and embrace the person you are, but this doesn’t mean you can’t be a better person than you are.  You can aspire to be like others and follow their footsteps and lifestyles but do it on your own.

Our limiting beliefs can cause us to miss out on the things that we want most and our empowering beliefs can drive us toward to the life we want to live. – Tony Robbins

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

When it comes to reviewing our personal efforts, we tend to look at ourselves too harsh being our own worst critic, making us our own worse enemy. 

Did you ever think of it this way? If you wouldn’t say it to someone else, then you shouldn’t be saying it to yourself?

Yes it is great to be tough and hard on ourselves, as this pushes us to do more and outside our comfort zones. However being too hard or tough on ourselves to the point in which we destroy any self-worth let alone motivation to progress further is not advocated! We should be personal with ourselves, but we should also take note of the efforts we have achieved and be careful with how we value ourselves. 

Most people start off with little or low self-confidence, but as a result of their own efforts, they become bold and brave and outgoing. – Brian Tracy

Most of us will start off with little or very low-self confidence, however as noted above it is due to the result of OUR OWN EFFORTS that we become bold and brave and outgoing.

OUR OWN EFFORTS.

You need to get out there and push yourself enough for you to you need to believe in yourself.

If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect others too? You need to set the bar and take these personal efforts to help others exceed in their own.

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

Amongst the busy lives we live, we forget to take the time and realize that we are good enough. Ever had the feeling you needed to keep on proving yourself or keep on striving towards something? In the midst of this pursuit, we lose focus of why we were doing this in the first place. Similarly, sometimes we have a very clear view of the things we are pursuing, yet we struggle to hit the goals, the targets or the steps we planned for. We struggle due to numerous reasons, but most of the time you will find it is not your fault. 

Yes, we need to prepare ourselves. Yes, we need to be willing and ready to do what we do best. But sometimes even being good enough, means we still will have struggles. There will be room for growth, we will have doubt, we will face challenges and there will be uncontrollable elements which cause delay. But don’t you ever doubt for a second that you are not good enough. 

We are expected to have setbacks, we are expected to have delays – but what makes us good enough is our ability to recover, our ability to come back for another shot. So do not fall victim to giving up and do not fall victim of doubt. Take hold of how far you have come and take this further than ever before. 

Go. Simply because you are good enough.

Sometimes all we have to inspire us is the serenity before us. While at the same time, looking ahead towards our destination can stir quite the scare.

Not always knowing how things are going to pan out can cause unnecessary stress and increase pressure.

But fear not, as whenever something is coming your way, rather than trying to give up, try to find ways to push further.

I understand that looking forward can seem overwhelming and I know that it can all seem a little too much.

But in time, in strength, effort and with a solid mind you will be pushing your way further than you could have imagined.

I know for me – When I look ahead and I can see a pile of work/tasks or challenges to complete. This is where I need to be positive about it.

Being Positive About It

• Look at the situation and redefine it through a positive perspective
• Smile about it – embrace the challenge
• Know your limits, but know you will grow too

Apply a lens which inspires serenity. Easy said than done, I know. But that is why you need to practice. 

“The only way to feel better about myself is to go out… and do it.” – Susan Jeffers

It will always seem impossible in the beginning, but that is because you have no idea of what it yet to come.

But soon enough you will see just how MORE THAN CAPABLE you are and you will feel even better about it once it is done.

So will you apply a positive perspective? Will you seek serenity?

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

Routine is what makes things light and easy. They become consistent and remove the overwhelming of decision making. We’re 25% through the year.  A quarter is done and dusted.

Where has it gone? What have you achieved? What are you yet to do?

Is life busy, is life overwhelming? Are you keeping up with what you have chosen to do for the year?

Education? Study? Working? Work? Family? Love?

We have so much going on, when and where can we breathe and reflect let alone let loose and live a little or just have some me time?

Well if it helps – just remember you are not the only one with all these things going on – so don’t think for one second that you have it tougher than someone else. As there will always be someone else who is going through more and worse than you.

With this said though – you are allowed to feel overwhelmed; for if you are feeling overwhelmed, the positive way to view this is that it is your body and mind telling you that you are growing. You have reached a new point outside your bubble of comfort and you are feeling it! Like all the hard work you do at the gym, (you better be going) the next day is when you feel the growth… the good pain.

This overwhelming time may be stressful, full of pressure and scary… but it is growing you and you will get through it.

My trick towards taking on a full on week, a full load of work or in any case, to be honest, is to have a regular routine.

The best way I stay honest, dedicated and motivated is by setting aside the time in my week to do my regulars, making a routine. We are all creatures of habit, some more than others, but we all tend to work better with a set schedule as it is a sense of security.

You can have one big routine, or you can multiple routines in a day. Regardless, build a consistent schedule and create your routine down to the details. Yes, that includes, the meals you make for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to the times you commute to work, to the music types you listen to at certain times. The list goes on…

Build and create your own, make it a shadow of your existence and make it automated by doing it regularly – soon enough it will come second nature.

With this all in mind, I guess the most important thing is to take a break once in a while. Even if this means 30 mins out of a busy day. A BREAK is a BREAK.

As taking a breather will do these 5 things:

• Give yourself a perspective on what really matters
• Lower overall stress levels
• Raise self-awareness
• Focus on the present
• Reduce Negative Emotions
