You are meant for more...

You were meant to do great things.  This doesn't mean that you were born with the ability to achieve those great things.  We do not just innately have all the habits, skills and knowledge we need to succeed.  Often times we need to hone in our skills and grow as a person.  And, I mean continually grow as a person.  Doing great things is not easy. 

Just because we are meant for more doesn't mean we just get to have more or achieve more.  We do still have to earn it.  We have to show up every single day.  We have to develop ourselves.  I committed to reading a book a month to help myself grow personally and professionally.  Right now I am reading High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard.  There is an assessment that goes along with this book that I highly recommend taking.  Go to highperformanceindicator.com.  This is one way you can work on achieving those great things.  After taking the assessment, if you feel that the book would benefit you on improving your habits to perform better, get the book and start implementing.  (I have no affiliation with Brendon and do not get anything for recommending his book.  Just putting that out there.  I just feel that the material he presents is helping me and could greatly help many around me.)

While you need to work at it to do more, you also need to believe in yourself.  Make sure to tell yourself you can accomplish what you put your mind to.  Take an actionable step today to work on moving forward.  What will you do today to earn the more you are meant for?

Are you ready? Really ready?

It's time to challenge yourself.  Whether the challenge is physical or mental, it is time to step up your game.  Summer has come to an end, and routines are changing over the course of the next couple weeks.  How did you spend your summer?  Were you a weekend warrior or a weekend partier?  Both have their different rewards and pitfalls.  Did you grow as a person?  Think about your summer.  There is no wrong answer.  You spent your summer living life the way you wanted to for those few months.  But... now what? Did the summer fun take you off course from some of your goals?  With kiddos everywhere starting their new routines, it is a great time for you to start too!  What area do you want to challenge yourself in first?  Do you want to work on personal growth or maybe your health?  Maybe there is something you've always wanted to try, but have never done.  I keep looking for new challenges to take me further. ...

What are you so afraid of?

What fears grip you as you try to fall asleep at night?  Do you wonder how you are going to pay a bill?  Are your kids on the top of your mind?  Are there problems in your relationship with your significant other?  Are you afraid that you are going to be alone?  Do you fear failing?  And when I ask about the fear of failing, I mean do you fear failing to the point that you are even afraid to try?  Different fears grab onto each of us during different seasons of life.  I have had many sleepless nights over some of my fears.  The fear can be crippling.  You can feel the weight of it pressing you down and holding you there.  Just thinking about some of the fears I have had over the course of the last few years, I can feel that tightness creep in.  One of the hardest things is to face our fears.  I have always had a fear of failure.  This fear has given me many nights of tossing and turning where I just can't shut my ...

Rise above the Yuck

In life we are going to have times that are painful and times that break us.  We are sometimes powerless to defend ourselves from the attacks that come.  We are faced with a decision at this point. How do we fight these attacks once they have happened? There are several ways we can fight.  We can fight silently.  Sometimes we do not need to speak our opposition to be heard.  Sometimes we need to let others fight for us.  We are given the right people in life at the right times.  Their words may be better received than our own.  Sometimes prayer is the only answer. No matter which route is right for the place you are at in life you also have a choice to rise above.  You can take the high road.  Why throw stones and act petty.  Take that road less traveled and don't take the bait.  When life or the people in it attack, you get to choose how you react.  Let's be honest though, our first reaction sometimes is not the one w...
