Day #021: Taking Control

This year is what you make of it. You cannot control it all, but you have a majority part to play in taking control of your life and its direction for 2017. Like any year, it is a pre-step to setting you up for the future. What and how you do things will have consequences and impact years to come. 

Ask yourself:

What choices am I making this year to better enable my future?

What am I doing this year to make a difference?

What am I taking control of to make a change?

How will 2017 stand out compared to 2016?

How can I make 2017 the year that changed my life (for the better)?

Leave a comment – let us know.

Day #020: Life Changing Habits

Since we live in such a busy world, our lifestyles jam packed with making a living, surviving, doing this and that – we sometimes lose focus on our habits.

We should be trying to start or continue our good habits, while at the same time minimize or eradicate the bad ones. But due to the lack of focus in this area, or even when we do realize something needs to change, we lack the push, motivation and drive to make the change to our habits. 

If you want a better lifestyle, a different way of living, to better enable yourself or a greater you. You need to take control of these habits. You need to add/remove the appropriate and you need to be the one in control. 

Breaking in a new habit, to allow it to become a regular routine or part of your life, should take you 30 days. 30 days of consistency and effort. Similarly, to remove a habit, it will require a little more attention as if it is something stuck to you, it may be a little harder to wrestle it. But I suggest going cold turkey. 

I challenge you to 30 days of life change. Pick something to add or pick something to remove. Let’s make a difference with our habits!

Day #019: Open The Door

Each day is a door to the unknown. Even though we have an idea of the day, we will never for certain know what opportunity lays beyond the door into today or tomorrow.

While that may scare you, we should not be fearful of the unknown, but know that whatever comes our way we also have a choice to react. Opportunity should never be taken for granted, even when it suggests a challenge, even when it means we will need to change, even when it means what was planned changes. Opportunity is meant to be something which offers you a chance, a new door into a new world, but just remember even though it is an opportunity, it does not mean it is right for you nor will it be perfect. 

The point here is to not be irrational in choosing, deciding and walking through a new door. New doors will come and go, but you should be willing to assess, and ready to adapt should the right door come your way. Each day is another opportunity, so you will have plenty of practice.

Day #018: Comfort Zone

The day we begin to walk, instantly the zone and the world around us changes. As a child, we are innocent to the idea of limitations and comfort zones. However, as we grow older, as we explore who we are and how we interact with the world, we create this false concept of where our comfort zone lies. Whether it is due to fear or something else, we seem to draw this mental circle around a proportion of what we know and sit in the dead center.

In order to grow and go beyond ourselves, we need to step over the line, facing our fears, challenging our thinking or learning something new. Why we need to be bound to something is due to a number of complex reasons, however, we are all different and have them. 

The challenge for you this year is to see how far you can grow the zone in which your comfortable in. What if you could expand this monthly, what about weekly? 

Are you up for the challenge to take you to a new level?

Day #017: Know and Grow

As we grow we become to know more and more each time. Though we may be frustrated in our attempt to be better and even when we fail or have a setback, technically we should become greater than before. Why? If we attempt to achieve, yet fail to do so, we land right back where we started, but this time we know a little more than the time before. So we already have a head start when we attempt again. Failure builds us. It molds us into to something big and beautiful and no sculpture can be rushed. 

The next time you feel a little frustrated, fearful or overwhelmed due to “you think you have failed”, remember that you may not have the answer this time round but you gave it a shot. Gather your thoughts, knowledge and make the plan to try again. 

You will get there as that is how we know and grow.

Day #016: The Big Chase

In an effort to go further, we set ourselves out on a big chase. A chase to see things happen, to see dreams fulfilled and to see results made into a reality. The only the problem with a chase is sometimes we go that little too fast that we possibly stumble and fall. Now there is nothing wrong with falling, as long as we get back up. The point, however, is if we can avoid falling we should. As you chase the goals, the dreams and the things you’re aiming for, do not rush. Take pursuit in structure, know your form and know your path, even if the path you know are small steps daily. 

This way, in the long run, you will make it there quicker.

Day #015: Onwards To Greater Things

As we venture into the unknown, we should move forward in confidence and knowledge that greater things are coming. They may not be instant, they may not be clear, but through growth, determination, and a mindset to conquer all. You will move onwards to greater things. Do not fear the unknown, embrace the opportunity it will bring. Tough it will be, but no great thing has avoided the tough. 

Are you game enough? Are you brave enough? Are you tough enough? To be Greater.

Day #014: Be A Little Brighter

Even in the darkest moments and the toughest moments, you should work to bright. Actually brighter.

Sometimes all we can do is hold on to that little light at the end of the tunnel. It may be far, it may be small but each day, each moment and each step are only bringing it closer. But in an effort to find the light at the end of the tunnel, we ourselves should work to brighten our way on the spot. Why travel to a place to find the light, when we can enable ourselves to be the brightness for others. We should work to overcome our fears, push through the struggles and conquer our journey to greatness!

So today I challenge you to tap your fear on the shoulder and how about shining some light on it!‪

Day #013: Passion Is Tough

If the pursuit of passion was easy, the value in which passion, grit, and hard work create would be lost. Life is a struggle, we know that. But regardless of the path dealt or chosen, we all will encounter the tough. How this is an experience for everyone, will be at different levels, some of great magnitude and others in a what would seem “small” capacity. However, facing the tough and facing the reality of having to persevere, struggle, face fear, push, push and push some more – the fight to create, live and find true passion, comes at a cost. But the rewards well supersede this cost. 

Do not fall victim of giving up. Facing the tough creates the tough and true passion, requires true grit.

Day #012: Win Some. Lose Some.

It is a simple fact and highly expected that sometimes you will win and sometimes you will lose. Regardless of who you are, what you have done or can do, we all have good and bad days. The frustrating part is we can be putting in our best, we could have worked thoroughly, strategically and planned out how they day would go – yet we still come up short, or with a result, we were not looking for. With this said, we also have day’s where we surprise ourselves. We come through at the end of the day and we complete our task at hand with flying colors.

We can prepare, we can plan, we can train and we can be the best. However, there will be things out of our control, there will be days where things seem against us. There will be days where things seem too good, where the days are handed to us on a silver platter.

Take what you can get, leverage the good days, but most of all – learn to grow from the bad days.
