This world isn't always easy on us. Too frequently we're unwillingly a victim of some smooth talking slickest, or some crazy circumstances that we just don't have any control over. "Life isn't fair" we tend to tell ourselves when faced with these injustices. "True. Very true," I say. You're right. Life isn't fair, and life has never been fair. Just think about it... What happens when a fly flies innocently by a frog? Yup! It gets eaten. Life certainly wasn't fair for that poor fly, was it? What did that innocent fly do to that frog? Nothing! It was unfair to that fly, right? I bet right now, we're all glad that we're not flies. Well, we certainly aren't flies. And we usually don't have to worry much about being eaten alive by another creature. It's true that life for us humans is unfair sometimes, but it's rarely ever that unfair. We're almost never victimized to the degree that that poor fly was because we're humans and we have a lot of advantages over the rest of the animal kingdom.  It's not often that our circumstances force us to face life and death situations like the rest of the animal kingdom does on a daily basis. And when our circumstances do tend to be on the bad side, we almost always have choices that we can make to better our situation. The fly flying by the frog doesn't have the ability like us humans to make life-improving decisions once that frog snaps its tongue out of its mouth. Can you imagine what us humans would do if a little frog snapped its tongue out of its mouth towards us? We'd probably say, "Ah... look how cute he is!" We'd probably even mimic the cute little frog by saying, "Ribbit. Ribbit".
Now teens, go learn, lead, and lay the way to a better world for all of us. Remember that we truly are the lucky ones because we don't have to be victimized by our circumstances. And once again, thanks for all that you do, and all that you will do... If circumstances are getting the best of you and if you are determined to not let it that happen, I hope you will schedule a discovery call with me. To your extraordinary Success!!!

You have done twenty years with the company and now what? Do twenty more years, or until they force you to retire with a gold watch, a cheesy dinner and a plaque of appreciation, or….

Life is not a video game, where if you don’t like where it is heading, you can hit the reset button and start over again. In reality, we have only one life to live. In reality, we live and die. The question is, during that period between your first breath and your last breath did you enjoy the full experience of life? Did you embrace life with both arms? There is a dash on tombstones between our birth date and date of death, so make that dash count! Don’t count how many breaths you take, but make every breath count! Set your goals. Live your goals. Enjoy your goals. Live. Reach your goals. Set new goals. Repeat. Let that be your mantra!  There is a television show called the Originals. I don’t know the premise of the show, but it brings to mind the original settlers and pioneers that settled this great nation of ours. They were not sure how things would turn out in the end, but they decided they wanted a better life and the best life had to offer. They decided to live a life of purpose on purpose. Was it hard? Yes! Was it taxing? Yes. Did they face challenges that made them want to give up? Most definitely! Did they give up? No, because if they had not decided to live a life of purpose, reach their goals and make their dreams a reality, this great country would not be what it is. Be a pioneer. Be a pilgrim. Be an adventurer. Reach out for life and grab it. Hold on to it and wrestled the best it has to give you from her grasp and ENJOY IT!
Today is the present. Yesterday is the past. Tomorrow is the future. Many people believe the future is already written and there is no use to trying to change what is fated to be. We hold the power to chart our future. The gods of mythology do not hold our fates in their hands, we do. We can’t change the choices we made yesterday, because that day is gone, it is in the past. We can make wise choices today. Today is the present and when we decide to embrace the fullness of life, by living a purpose driven life, we began to be fulfilled, happy and complete. Tomorrow is the future, so why not make sure our lives in the future aligns with the life we desire today. Contact me today to schedule your Free strategy consultation. 1. Books have been touted as a passport to far away lands and places. A book allows you to travel to places you have never been, experience things you have never done and meet people you have never known. Let the book open the door, get a real passport and go to those places, do those things and meet those peoples. Reading is fundamental, but doing new things is also fundamental; fundamental to not just dreaming about travel but making your dreams a reality. Get a passport. Plan a trip and take it. Make life memories and scratch those itchy travel feet. Satiate the wanderlust in your soul!  2. Travel has become inexpensive with the proper planning and foresight. A little time and a passport can take you to places you have only dreamed of. WAKE UP! STOP DREAMING AND START LIVING. There is a song by a 1970s musical group called the Gap Band, and it says “Life is just a dream and nothing comes to sleepers but a dream”. Make your dreams of travel a reality. Make your plan. Execute the plan. Adjust the plan as necessary, but follow the plan and see the places you have always wanted to see. Do the things you have always wanted to do. See Morocco, Portugal, Europe, whatever your heart’s desire; don’t talk about it, JUST DO IT! I can show you how to create your plan and make it happen.
The pessimist looks at a situation and says the glass is half empty. This implies the good is half gone or the situation is not going to get any better. The optimist says the glass is half full. This implies there may be bad, but there is still good, or there is the possibility of things improving. In the midst of adversity, few people want to be reminded it could be better or it could be worst.  Many just want to overcome the situation they are facing. Shake the paradigm of a glass half empty or half full, because it signifies there is a remnant of old doubt and despair. BE HAPPY TO JUST HAVE A GLASS. The empty glass serves as a receptacle for infinite possibilities, to be filled with your dreams, hopes goals and desires! You have the power to fill the glass with whatever serves your needs. The power is yours! Let me help you build a new perspective .....
