Day #144: Life VS Challenge

We all face a challenge. Life is a challenge. We just need to learn to live with it. The trick is to is to ask yourself about how serious you are and if you are willing to take control.

If you want something, if you want to be somewhere, if you have a dream, a goal or a mission – what is stopping you from getting there?

You are the only one that can drive, control and totally motivate yourself! You need to be willing to make time for the things you are aiming for!

What makes you itch? What do you desire?

If you are lacking motivation, is it due to you not wanting to make the challenge a priority? Are you just lazy? Are you making excuses? Ask yourself; How much do you want it? If you are not going to get out there and give it a go – you will never ever know or grow.

Day #143: Taking The Steps

Whether we need to take small steps, big steps, a few steps or lots of steps. They are required if you want to succeed. When you have a goal in sight it isn’t about putting in the effort so that people can see, but it is about being consistent and making the right choices that will add up in the end to the result you were looking for. You may have told someone what you are doing, or maybe you didn’t. Regardless, the daily grind and the daily struggle is to then continue on with a daily practice of ensuring you are making the small choices that will add up in the end. People may not even notice the hard work and efforts,

You may have told someone what you are doing, or maybe you didn’t. Regardless, the daily grind and the daily struggle is to then continue on with a daily practice of ensuring you are making the small choices that will add up in the end. People may not even notice the hard work and efforts, however, the time will come and when it does – you will want to be ready for it. 

It’s all about accepting the short-term pain, in order to progress on for long-term gain.

If don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect to have the sheer willpower to push yourself to the limits required to break your stubborn mindsets.

So how will you reach your next goal? Will you apply integrity and surprise people over time? Or will you take a plunge and hit the ground running maintaining a consistent routine?

The option is yours.

Day #142: Worth The Risk

We all have a risk to take. Actually, we will have many risks to consider and some we will tolerate, others we will avoid. For way too long I hear people complaining that they want this and want that. They consume themselves with worry and doubt and because of this they will never get it or see it. However, I think more than half the time we are too scared to do the something we have never done before in order to have the something we have never had. 

Life is full of taking risks. Everything you do will have a margin of risk and margin of consequence. No outcome is ever to be 100% certain, therefore, any attempt at anything has a chance of failing.

Murphy’s Law – If it can happen it will.

Every day you risk your life without even knowing it. Even as simple of walking outside is a risk, as you never know what is going to happen.

How you live your life will depend on the choices you make, the risks you take…

Risk; is the absence of security. Taking risk leaves future events to chance. Chance is when one can not accurately, or with assurance, predict a future outcome with confidence. Most people find comfort in security, which is fine but there is comfort in security, but not a lot of reward.

Risks can often result in failure. Rewards become elusive in the sense of “Better to be safe than sorry” being a common reason why risks are left aside.

If there were more risk takers there might be more ideas implemented and discoveries made. Until such time, people will take the safer path, a road more traveled.

The point is, we can be making risks and choices in our lives each day to get us to the places we want to go. To name a few:

  • Starting that business
  • Pursuing a passion
  • Telling someone how you feel
  • The use of finances and investments

I’m sure you will have some of your own examples – but at the end of the day, you will not see the reward unless you are willing to front the risk for reward.

Day #141: Be Bold. Be Brave

Life is tough. So be bold, be brave and show it just how tough you are. 

Life throws us into the deep end and sometimes it feels so much easier to give up on our goals and dreams as it all seem just too hard. When we feel this way, we need to take another chance and continue to give it another go. As sooner or later it will budge. You will grow, you will learn, you will become stronger. Be bold. Be brave.

Stepping out in boldness in itself is a strength but when it is also without hesitation or fear in the face of possible danger this is when the magic happens!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. –Theodore Roosevelt

My challenge to you today is to really ask yourself about how strong and how bold you are. As you will find the more that you think that you are strong enough… the more you may have to grow.

We can try so hard being strong and we can fight it out long enough to surprise ourselves, but soon enough you will need to stop kidding yourself and you may just need to ask for some help.

“I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.” –Louisa May Alcott

Remember sometimes to be your strongest you need to be bold enough to ask for help. Are you strong enough?

Day #140: Success Threshold

The threshold limiting your maximum potential comes down to the threshold you have placed on success.

“Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!” – Andrew Carnegie

If you’re looking for a quick win, a quick skip through time to your ultimate endgame, there isn’t one. But there is the process of creating something great. Something great is literally driven by one immense desire to have a greater impact. 

You can either create something great or greater. Or, you can just expect that greatness to land in your lap.

In short; do more, expect higher and achieve greater. It’s that simple.

“High expectations are the key to everything.” – Sam Walton

Day #139: Fighting Fear

Fear comes and goes but seems to come when we least expect it or least want it. However, fear within limits can be a reminder of faith and motivation.

When you face it, you know you are walking into a challenge, a challenge that will grow you, test you and push you further. You may not like it, but once you have conquered whatever it may be, you feel better than ever, you feel freedom, liberation and a peek of what success is all about! 

Leverage fear into something that can help you do better than before! However, if you struggle to overcome it, if you feel your faith isn’t great enough in the moment, remember

– Isaiah 41:10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Day #138: A Slow Process

Daily we are given the opportunity to do something more. Regardless if it is a slow process or not, it is a chance to seize an opportunity and embrace something new.

However, it can be a slow process getting your life in control. But if you decide to give up… this is never going to speed it up for you!

So how can you get your day in control, to further lead to your week being in control? Each is the perfect chance to set some mindsets, to do some preparation and to psych yourself up for what is ahead but for what else is to come throughout the week. See below for a few examples of what you can do today:

  • Take the morning to revise your goals for the day and week. Whether these are personal or for work. It’s always healthy to check in and remind yourself. 
  • Instead of jumping into your day, wake up twenty minutes early to gather your thoughts. You are just about to start a new day so why not reflect and identify anything you need to get in line before doing it all again.
  • Look at each day as a new start. Forget yesterday or last week and focus on what is ahead of you. Aside from learning from mistakes, this day is a new slate.
  • Stop looking at the day negatively. Your thoughts control your perception which affects your actions. Be positive. You already know this! Any day is and should be based on your attitude. So make sure you have it right!
  • Breathe, be positive, and go through the day with ease. There is nothing more to it than that. If it gets heated or tough – take another breather, refresh your mind and try again.

These are just some of the things you can be doing. However, I cannot empathize how important your attitude is. If you have a negative approach, you will be stubborn and fight any chance of you being positive, let alone in a happy mood. Maybe last week wasn’t the best, or maybe yesterday sucked. I understand, it is tough, but we are tough. You are tough! So get your head back into the game and get back out there! It doesn’t matter if this process is slow. What matters is you are progressing. 

Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going. – Chantal Sutherland

Day #137: Do You Believe?

Did you know that the more you tell yourself something, over and over again, the more likely you will believe it? Like a routine or a habit, you become accustomed to believing what you are being told. This also means if other people are telling you something over and over again, you will become more and more familiar with it and you will naturally become attained to it. 

Whatever you believe, with conviction, becomes your reality, whether or not it is true or false. – Brian Tracy

Like any habit, it needs to be consistent in your life in order for it comes into shape and being. Well, this is exactly the same for your belief system. Stepping aside from the usual debate of what you believe regarding religion.

A quick challenge is: What about your attitude and your happiness.

If you are going to wake up every day and begin the day with a foul attitude of doubt, fear, and anxiety, what do you expect the day to be like…

If you wake up ready to take on the day and to conquer the obstacles that come your way, this is always going to make you feel that little extra bouncy!

Now imagine you do this every day for the next month. Imagine how you will feel. Imagine wanting to jump and spring out of bed because you have realized that each day isn’t a struggle, but each day is an opportunity to learn, grow and to build yourself as an individual. 

Stop pulling yourself down. Stop thinking and suggesting to yourself that you are not good enough.

Day #136: The Early Bird

Are you an early bird? Are you rising early with the intent to be productive? Are you rising up early to get “your worm”? The traits of a morning person bring benefits that I believe will make you a better person more and more each day. But the big question remaining is:

How do I become this amazing morning person?

Firstly you need to want to be this amazing morning person and secondly, you need to choose to be.

Regardless of how much you want it and should you choose to want to pursue it, the below 3 points are crucial in helping you make your mornings that extra bouncy!

Routine 

Early morning risers need to have any sense of flow and structure you need a routine and a good one at that. It means you should have a structured morning each day whether it be the same as the day before, or maybe an alternating routine, or even a completely different routine on the weekend. The idea here is to have something which becomes second nature to you. Once your routine has become normal to you, your mind and body will learn to adapt and go with its natural flow. This will put your whole morning into a kick started state when you wake, as your whole body and state of mind will be already working towards doing what it should be… but subconsciously.

Attitude

Attitude is the key to any good day. Take away routines and you are left just another day. But attitude creates a day into what you want it to be. Early risers who set their attitude the moment they wake up, usually set the tone and theme for the day. Setting your morning tone influences the remaining actions of your day. However, you can also overcome your false or unhappy attitude by stepping out of your current zone refreshing your mind and trying again. 

Excitement

Excitement is all about taking the little things of your day and turning them into the highlights. These include the high points and using these as motivators and encouragements. When we’re excited we do stuff, we overcome fears, we take chances, w make tough decisions, we push the boundaries, we explore our potential, we become solution-focused and we become more resourceful. Chat with any successful person about their goals and their passion and you’ll see what I mean about excitement. If you’re not excited (on some level) about your goals, then you may need to find some different ones.

Do you think you are up for it? Will you give it a go being an early bird?

Day #135: Morning Sunshine

Your Morning is going to happen one way or another, so you may as well face the reality and face them head on. I get it. We don’t all like to rise and shine with excitement to face whatever it is we have for the day. But with the right perspective and understanding, you will be surprised of just how GREAT a morning can be and what it can do for you. 

Any early bird would know there are a common set of traits which make mornings successful. Maybe you are in the process of changing up your lifestyle and looking to be an early riser?

This is the perfect blog for you!

Morning people…

  1. Accomplish Tasks As Soon As They Start Their Day
  2. Potentially More Intelligent
  3. They Are Most Focused In The Morning
  4. They Follow The Habits Of Successful People
  5. They Get Enough Shuteye
  6. They Are More Proactive
  7. They Have The Time For Breakfast
  8. They Are Usually Happier
  9. They Usually Have Great Personality Traits

All these traits have some amazing benefits. They allow for more time, for more activities, for better schedules and even healthier bodies. This does not mean being a night owl is worse off. It just means that if you utilize our morning strategically and with a well-rounded routine, you will be jumping out of bed and kick-starting your day at a whole new level.

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive -to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” – Marcus Aurelius

I personally love the mornings, breakfast being one of my favorites to look forward to. Why? Because it is a chance to enjoy a meal alone and spend some time focusing on my blog or other personal items, just as a light breather before jumping into another adventure filled day.
