Do you have any conflicting beliefs or values which hold you back

Today’s Daily Directive. - Look at what is right in your life. I want you to identify at least 5 things that you love about your life. Genuinely LOVE. We spend a majority of our time looking at what is wrong. Our house is too (old, small, outdated, big, wrong location), our children are too (whiney, nagging, know it all, disobedient, irresponsible, ungrateful, demanding), our spouses are too (controlling, inattentive, unsupportive, lazy, work aphonics), our bodies are too (fat, slow, achy, stressed) our clothes are too (tight, out of fashion, not properly fitted) and so on.



You can fill in your own blanks about the things in you life that you constantly focus on that some how seem to fall short. For today, focus on what is right. Focus on what you have to be proud of, what you genuinely love about where you live, how you spend your time, your career, your children, parents, spouse, clothes, body, etc. Take today to say something good about each aspect of your life (emotionally, socially, personally, socially, physically, spiritually). That’s it, just focus on what’s right! You deserve it and you’ll feel great. DO NOT let your mind wander to the negative today.





Today’s Re-Powering Information: I wanted to share a simple concept with you that will help you achieve any goal you set you mind to.

It’s real simple… here we go!

You cannot have internal conflict in your goals and beliefs.



For example:



You cannot have a goal of a fit body, and also have a belief that exercise is hard work.



You cannot attain a large amount of wealth if you think wealthy people are selfish.



You cannot live in a lean body if you think you can’t cook healthy foods


You cannot have a successful relationship if you think a relationship stifles who you are.



You cannot make wise food choices to enhance your health if you also tell yourself that healthy foods are not tasty.



So, in short, pause for a moment and assess. Do you have any conflicting beliefs or values which hold you back? If you find they exist, get to the root of the negative believe and learn why the conflict exists. Once you do, you will quickly find yourself moving towards your goals. Turn around your limiting beliefs and a whole new world of possibilities will open up.



The most important quality for success in entrepreneurship and in life is the quality of optimism. Optimists have an unrealistic expectation of success. As a result, they are willing to try far more things without becoming discouraged. In addition, because of their unrealistically positive attitude, they are willing to persist much longer than the average person. Optimism is a wonderful quality.

Simple . . . change your thinking and change your outcomes!

Take responsibility and get after what you want. Period!

Today’s Re-Powering information – simply a brilliant quote!



"I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse."

-- Florence Nightingale


Last night I attended a 90 minute seminar for Hope hosted by Dave Ramsey. One of the messages was to get up and take responsibility. We know that can’t and but stem from fears and with fear you can not have hope. Take responsibility and get after what you want. Period!



Okay I couldn’t’ resist – here’ another quote! Savor it!



“Work to make your life something more than long, because there is no guarantee that it will be.”



Chris Widener



Have a relaxing and ultra enjoyable weekend.

GUARANTEE you will not wish you spent more time watching TV

It is the trouble that never comes that causes the loss of sleep.

Today’s action exercise is to first identify something extraordinary you want to do. Maybe something you have been wanting to do, thinking about doing, even investigating, but have not taken the leap to do. Today write that one thing down and take one step in the direction of making that a reality. Then set a deadline as to when this extraordinary adventure will take place. For one person, talking to a stranger may be an adventure, for another it’s canoeing across Lake Grapevine, for another getting back on a horse, for another dusting off the online skates to coast through your neighborhood. I want you to throw all cares (fears) to the wind. Who cares what the neighbors think. I’m not suggesting you bungee jump if that makes you too uncomfortable, however I want you to get out of your comfort zone to realize what’s possible and what you can accomplish. You won’t know until you try. I guarantee –yes GUARANTEE you will not wish you spent more time watching TV. You will remember the experience and then dream to do something bigger. We only go around one time. You can never get this minute back. So . . identify your adventure (not going to the spa), something fun, something that will cause you to muster up come courage, something that will make you feel proud. Maybe sign up for your first 5K and see what it feels like to have race number on your back (I know several of you have done that for the first time this past year). You can go to www.active.com and see if anything excites you! Stretch your limits today. Take the step to make your life worth living in a big fun way. Oh – and feel free to share what with me. I would LOVE to hear it! You can also post it on the blog at www.ArgyleBootCamp.com. It’s freeing!!!
