Jump!

I was having a bad day a while back and this video Jump by Steve Harvey came across my Facebook feed.

If you haven't seen it, I suggest you watch it.  It is life changing.

So if you feel stuck like you want to change or jump, as Steve Harvey puts it, what is stopping you? 

Is it fear?

Is it not knowing?

Then here is what you do!

Make a list of how you want your life to be and don't let the negative talk influence what you write.  For now, just write your "ideal" life out - and get big...if your ideal life is to own a mansion but you don't know how or have doubts, write it down anyways!

Then do something, anything (even tiny, teeny tiny things) to do something in the direction of what you wrote.

So if you wrote to own a mansion, go walk through a show home.  
And please, please please do not let fear, negative thoughts keep you from doing this action...it is that fear that is keeping you on the cliff or keeping you small.

Living a FULL 75 years PLUS!

One of the things I've heard in 2015 really resonates with me and it caused me to do a lot of thinking near the end of 2015 and as 2016 starts. 

That's saying is...

I asked myself the question what am I doing to live a full 90 (or 75) years or am I living the same year over and over again? 

I've come to the conclusion that up until now there have been some slight fluctuations year-to-year but overall my life lacks purpose and accomplishment. 

Then I think what could I do differently this year than what I've done years before and the biggest answer is achieve goals but not just achieve goals set bigger goals set the expectation higher. 

As Robin Sharma says don't compare yourself to the other guy.  Compare yourself today to yourself yesterday do something better and bigger today than you did yesterday.

And so far this year I have been doing that.  I can't wait to share with you how my life has changed the past 8 weeks.

Do you feel like I did in 2015?  

Every Single Day You Make a Choice

Everyday, the bus called Life picks us up in the morning, and we choose where we wish to sit that day!

Many people believe they have to accept what life dishes them but we make conscious decisions throughout our day.

I've heard so many negatives about the economy lately, but I was reminded a few days ago, that circumstances are circumstances; they are not bad or good, they just are!  Our perception of those circumstances is what makes them bad or good.

There will always be opportunities.  As a matter of fact, the slower economy means people lose their job.  That is a fact.  Many great new companies are started in the slump of an economy because people are at their rock bottom and can only do better by doing anything.

So make a choice to look at things positively. 

Make a choice to see what could be good in the world.

Changed the Title of My Blog

I just watched a video this morning that is worth watching by Robin Sharma.

At one point in the video, I paused the video, came to this blog and changed my blog title.

My blog title used to read, "My Journey to More, Just an Average Gal".

Now when we are affirming things in our life, we have to carefully pick the language we use.

So you'll pick up on this right away - "just" and "average" gal.   Two of those words are not what I want for my life.

I want to be more than JUST!   I want to be World-Class, not AVERAGE.

So please excuse the change, I am building BETTER!
