Stay True!

We live in a world where comparing ourselves to others is available to do at all times. Don’t fall for it and determine who you are based on what you see others doing and focusing more on that than what is right in front of you.

You were created to do what no one else can do. Your talents and gifts along with where you work and live have all aligned for an opportunity no one else has.

Stay true to who you are and where you have the opportunity to do it. You will be better and blessed as will those around you.

I’m cheering for you.

What You Leave Behind

We all love a good quote.  A quote can make us think more deeply, stir our soul and even bring about change in our lives.

While they can have some lasting impact we should not be about trying to come up with the next catchy quote or phrase to impact people.

The impact that we ultimately have on people is found and grounded in how our lives intersect and impact those we lead and live with, our daily contacts and even those we may just have a brief encounter with.

If you truly want to leave your legacy be mindful of each daily interaction. 

Be kind.
Be compassionate.
Be full of grace.
Be loving.
Be positive.

If you are going to leave anything behind weave these into people’s lives.

I’m cheering for you.

Success 101

The most recent statistics show that the number of self help books published in 2019 was 85,253.  That number is close to more than three times the number that was published in 2014.

Alot has been written and there are many different well thought out ideas and plans that can help you be successful.

While many of the books are useful and thought provoking I believe we tend to overthink what it really takes to be successful at times.

In it’s simplest form I believe to be successful you can follow this simple three step formula and success will eventually find you.

1.  Show up.  Just show up and be early.  Be where you need to be, are supposed to be and when you are supposed to be there.

2. Work hard.  Every day.  Do what you are supposed to do and do it with excellence. How you do your work matters.

3.  Repeat the above two steps over and over again.  When you feel like you’re getting stuck make sure to go back to #1 and #2.

That’s not a book’s worth of knowledge but I believe it can get you closer to being where you want to be if you do it consistently.

I’m cheering for you.

Make Each Day Your Masterpiece

How do you approach today?

Do you just want to survive it or do you believe there is something special waiting to be done?

There are action words in this great John Wooden quote and the first word sets the tone.

MAKE tells us that it is up to us as to what we create and do with the day. Don’t hope or want to. Take action and Make your masterpiece.

EACH DAY tells us that today is a new day, a new opportunity. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised so focus on what you can do today.

The word YOUR is a reminder that what you do with today is your responsibility. Don’t be controlled by what others try to do to bring you down.

MASTERPIECE in Latin means great work.  Expect greatness today out of yourself and you will inspire others to do the same.

Create something meaningful today.

I’m cheering for you.
