This is my piece for you today. You'll eventually become some individuals who surround you that's something I learned painfully costly way. Everybody features a story and so they all contain pros and cons choices through which we take pride in and decisions we regret making. This is often difficult remembrances that people must live, but ultimately, it comes down lower towards the lessons we could glean from them. We are all reflections of the people we keep in our lives and interact with on a daily basis. Their actions and behaviors all resonate and subconsciously influence our everyday choices. Associate with people who make you feel happy It's so crucial that you have those who satisfy you. Those who lead you to laugh and who enable you to whenever you require assistance - those who genuinely care. Individuals are the type who're worth keeping within your existence everyone else is just passing through.  our surrounding atmosphere shapes who you are and who you will become. You're in general control of your existence as well as the products that you employ, why not filter the negative surroundings and place yourself in a positive and fascinating atmosphere, the one that suits your needs?
The most effective example is to look at most likely the very best figures nowadays. How come you think the elite make an effort to place themselves in environments full of like-minded individuals? Surprisingly, the very best and efficient people have weakness that is similar to yours. Surrounding themselves as well as other individuals, who're round the same path or who had been through similar journeys, enables them to educate to learn more about themselves. Connecting yourself with individuals who're round the journey to produce modifications in their lives and yours, rather than individuals that aren't in any great position or aren't developing a difference, is crucial to grow as a person. Are you serious about making a change in your environment but don't know how to get started? Schedule a discovery call I'll help you get started! To your extraordinary Success!!!

Here’s what you need to start doing today, whether you have two years or two weeks left in the uniform, to better ensure your success: 1. Start Now: The Department of Defense trained you for approximately eight weeks to be a Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman, Guardian or Guardsman. When you do the math, that’s about 384 hours of preparation time. Translation: If you spent two hours each day working on your transition, it would equate to about six months of time invested. Have an actual written plan of action and milestones for your own transition. It’s amazing to see that we often do this for every critical military assessment, but not for the most significant event of our adult careers.  2. Identify Gaps
It’s critical that you identify the gaps you currently have in both your professional network and your skill set. Your professional network includes those folks who can actually put you in front of a hiring manager. If you currently don’t have anyone like that in your network, you need to. This self-evaluation will tell you how employable you are and whether or not it’s a good time for you to leave the uniform (if you have a choice in the matter). A fatal mistake I often see? Those who solely rely on people still on Active Duty or people who haven’t looked for a job in years to give them job search and resume advice. Instead, use your time to meet as many recruiters and hiring managers as you can in order to get candid insight and feedback on your true market value in the civilian world, as well as how readable your resume is. (Hint: It should not read like your Evaluation Report.). I have the other actions waiting for you and many more...Connect with me today for a discovery call! To your extraordinary Success!!! Military life is an experience that forever shapes who you are, because it’s unlike any other job you’ll ever do. You’ve attended job training that most people could never understand, let alone accomplish. You’ve lived on installations and ships, and in tents and submarines. And you’ve even deployed to locations that most people have only seen on that dusty globe in high school geography class. It’s through these experiences that you’ve become immersed in tight-knit communities and personal relationships that are often unattainable in “civilian” settings.  That’s why it can be difficult to separate yourself from the culture. You are not just leaving a job; you are leaving a completely different lifestyle. Gone is your communication through military jargon. Gone is your rank structure and responsibility. Gone is your scrutinized work and life schedule. So how can we, as veterans, help ensure a smooth transition from the military to civilian employment? We take what we learned day one in the service — how to adapt and overcome — and apply it to our new surroundings. For more on how to achieve or live a purposeful life as a veteran transition… schedule a discovery call with me. To your extraordinary Success!!! Are you crazy?

When was the last time you took action to help you live the life you desired, with no regrets? When was the last time you just went for it, whatever you desired without a thought to the negative consequences you may face. Many of us we want to do things, but because of the possible consequences we hesitate. When it comes to the subject of chasing our passions, we hesitate, procrastinate, and will often say it has to wait because of our responsibilities.  Are you in a fixed position in your career? Do you have the passion of an entrepreneur? Are you thinking about the time when you can make a change, but not sure how to make your passions a reality?
We have tried different “schemes” someone else used, but it just didn’t’ work for us.

Reach out to me and let me help you do something for yourself with no guilt, no regrets, and no concerns about being able to still fulfill your responsibilities. Let me develop a plan just for YOU, based on YOU and YOUR desires to live life to the fullest! No worries, no regrets, just SUCCESS! Schedule your free Discovery Call today!! I have often heard the phrase “No Pain, No Gain”. I always wondered why endure pain in order to gain something. Is the thing I want to “gain” worth the pain? I have learned the “pain” may signify actual pain, but often refers to leaving your comfort zone. Our comfort zone is often the lifestyle that works best for us; the one where we do what we want, when we want, and how we want. Our diet consists of all our favorite foods in the quantities we love. Our daily routine is filled with what is convenient and comfortable for us. It has been said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. I have heard many people claim they want to be more physically fit, and they want to get in shape. I look at what they routinely do, I see their idea of getting into shape is simply this: the shape they desire is “round” since round is an actual shape.  heir actions drown out their words. Their idea of working out is 20oz curls of their favorite sugary beverages, and their idea of cardio is running to the refrigerator or a thumb workout with a remote control or game controller. Most things are usually okay in moderation, but when the moderation exceeds what the body can take, then health issues occur.
Leading a healthy life style is a matter of choice, and the choice does not mean giving up EVERYTHING you enjoy. There is nothing wrong with having an occasional favorite beverage or food, but moderation is the key. Many times we don’t give our brain to sync with our bodies to tell us we have had enough. The pain to a healthy lifestyle is bearable but simple; get out of the comfort zone. You don’t have to drastically change your lifestyle, all at once, because if you do, it may not last. Cut down your sodas and replace with water or some other healthy alternative. Try to walk a little every day, and slowly increase the distance. Try to arrange your day to get adequate rest. Look for healthy choices that are palatable to you. It may be painful, but just like a pin prick hurts, making the changes in a realistic manner lessens the hurt, makes your comfort zone easier to leave, because you are developing a new paradigm, a new comfort zone, where you actually feel uncomfortable if you don’t get your exercise in, limit your indulges and began to see the actual GAIN from the minimal PAIN! Connect with me and start living your life of purpose on purpose.
Are you feeding the flames of your desire? This is not a reference to looking at the special someone and daydreaming about spending the rest of your life with them. This not talking about looking at pictures of your dream house, car or job and saying “one day they will be mine”. I am speaking of what are you doing to feed the flame, or better still, make your desire a reality? If you are interested in that special someone, have you let them know your feelings, or even learned enough about them to see if they are really who you think they are or what you created them to be. Have you researched what it would take for you to get that house, car or job? Feeding the flames of your desire means taking action to make your desire a part of your life. Of course, illegal, immoral or unethical activities are out, but all else is fair play. Stoke the fire of your desire until the flame burns bright enough to illuminate the path you must take for your dreams to come true. Get rid of those thoughts that suck the oxygen from your flames; negative thoughts of why you can’t do a certain thing, and replace them with the thoughts of why you can. There is a saying; glass half full, or half empty; who cares, I am happy to have a glass I can fill it with whatever I desire. Chase your dream, fuel the fire of your desires. It doesn’t matter how old you are; it is only too late when you are in the grave. There are people in their 80s graduating from college, learning how to salsa and even skydiving, so what’s stopping you. Fuel the flames. Let the fire and your desire become the thing that warms you inside and gives you that sense of purpose to live a life on purpose of purpose! Schedule your free discovery call today and start living your life of purpose on purpose. A life of comfort is the world dream. We never have to worry about anything; whatever we desire is immediately provided with little effort. We desire a life where all our needs are provided and most of our wants. This seems like the perfect life; but a life of pure comfort breeds apathy and lethargy. There is nothing wrong with being “comfortable”, but we must ensure our comfort does not skew our idea of what is acceptable. We may have a million dollars in the bank, but if we continually withdraw and never deposit, sooner or later the money will be gone and the life we lead will change. We lose weight and reach our goal, but if we don’t work to keep the weight off, because we can get into our skinny jeans, sooner or later, those skinny jeans will be hanging in the closet and we will once again utter those dreaded words “one day, I will get back into them”. When we get comfortable, we have a tendency to change our perspective from I have to work to get what I want, to now I have it, so why bother. In relationships, we work hard to show our love at the beginning and before long we get into a comfortable routine, and the fire that once drove us fizzles out. When we finished school, we were tenacious in our pursuit of our dream job, and once we get it, we are content to just put everything on cruise control where it is comfortable. In the analogy of sport, the comfort zone will never get you to the level you could possibly reach. The comfort zone can even cause you to lose skills you worked hard to sharpen, because you see no need to use them anymore.  The comfort zone can make us lazy, and when something comes along we don’t particularly like; we accept it as long as it does not disturb our comfort zone. Comfort zones are fine to regroup and rest, but should never be a permanent habitation. When we retreat and live perpetually in our comfort zone; we won’t try no things, experience new sensations and could easily let the excitement of living life pass us by. When we leave our comfort zone, we can enter into a place called the Gift Zone. The Gift Zone is when we try new things, we discover new gifts and talents we never thought we had. There is a saying that “Necessity is the MOTHER of INVENTION” When we leave our comfort zones, we may find the need to try things we never have, and discover not only are we good at it, but we will wonder why did we wait so long to try something new. Life is for the living, and the comfort zone could easily cause us to quit living and just start existing. Live life to the fullest! Are you ready to start living your life of purpose on purpose?

There is an old African proverb that states “together the ants ate the elephant”. An examination of this proverb reveals one ant may not be able to consume an elephant, but a group of ants together got the job done. We will face obstacles in our lives; that is a fact. We will experience challenges, there is no way around that. We will encounter what deem as impossible odds, a true statement. The thing we must remember is these challenges are only a “show stopper” if we let them be. We may be individualistic, with a desire to say “I DID THIS MYSELF”, but there is nothing wrong with learning from the practices and procedures of others to overcome whatever may be hindering you from reaching your goal. It is a matter of perspective. Thomas Edison used his failures as a litmus test of what not to do to be successful. In essence, he learned from his mistakes and eliminated those things that didn’t work, until he found what work, and now we have the light bulb.  Scientists throughout recorded history review the failures and successes of others to develop new and improved medicines, technologies and inventions to enhance the quality of life. Why not use the same approach for whatever is hindering you from greatness? Want to be a fitness guru; find out the processes used by those you consider to have arrived. Have a desire to inspire others to greatness; look at what inspires you. As long as there is a will, as the saying goes, there is a way. Sometimes going around, over, under or just ignoring an obstacle is the way to deal with it. Ignoring an obstacle may not seem effective, but one situation that it works well for is when those that have no interest in your success decides to pour their non-factual opinions into your dreams as if they are the final authority. There is another proverb that states the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. Elephants are large beast and seem to be impossible to consume, but if we deal with our obstacles in manageable “bites”, they will be overcome and we will be successful in our endeavors!
