Do You Believe?

Do you really believe? Do you really believe that your dreams can become reality?

There is plenty of talk about “pursuing your dreams”, “staying the course” and “not giving up.” It is valid to talk about but in the end it comes down to this. Do you really believe?

There will tests, there will be setbacks and there will be doubters lined up to tell you why your dreams won’t work.

Your faith must be stronger than your fears. Your belief must be greater than your doubt. Your conviction must overcome any disbelief.

Pursue your dreams, stay the course and don’t give up and then believe with everything deep inside your soul.

Then, like yesterday, start to stack up personal wins on your way to what you dream of.  Moment by moment.  Day by day. 

I’m cheering for you.

Your Personal Win

What is it that you want to accomplish?

Is there something that you want to change?

Are you willing to put in the work to make what you want happen?

Every big change, every goal that you reach starts with small victories stacked in top of each other.

Are you willing to commit 10-15 minutes a day working on what you are passionate about becoming doing?

Maybe it starts with doing something 2-3 times this week.

I did a simple one this weekend. I used to have no problem getting over 10,000 steps per day as an Athletic Director. My new job makes it a bit more difficult so this weekend I wanted to get 10,000 steps each day.

Saturday I went out at 8:00 p.m to finish the task. Sunday I took a second walk in the afternoon to get it done. I did it. A personal win.

Whatever it is you want to do commit and start getting some personal wins. One step, one day at a time then stack them on top of each other.

I’m cheering for you.

Take Time

Take time to appreciate those around you.  It doesn’t take much effort. 

Appreciation is defined as “recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something.”

Your assignment today is to give some appreciation to those around you.  Find the good qualities in people and then celebrate them.

It really doesn’t take much effort to show appreciation.  It just takes a desire give it.

Today, my hope is that you and I have that desire.  I have no doubt that someone in our path could use the feeling of being appreciated.

It could be someone you know or someone that you don’t but the important thing is to be aware of the moment when the opportunity to show appreciation presents itself. 

When it does seize that moment and make a difference.

I’m cheering for you.

What If?

We offered encouragement instead of criticism?

We treated others how we wanted to be treated?

We put others first and ourselves second?

We thought first and spoke second instead of the other way around?

We spoke out of love instead of spite?

We lifted up instead of tore down?

What we said “Amen” to on Sunday we lived out on Monday?

What if?

Better yet, how about I will?

I’m cheering for you.
