Motivational Monday – life is a game of inches

Welcome back to another motivational monday to start off your week.  This video is from the movie any given sunday with the speech from Al Pacino in the locker room.  He talks about how life is a game of inches.  You have to be willing to fight for every single inch, every single advantage that you can take.  Like the slight edge the margin for error between winning and losing is so small so you MUST take every opportunity to the fullest.  So with everything you do despite it not making a difference at that moment, know that it will all add up over time.  Know that every inch stacked up together will take you to that goal.  For example if you’re goal was to lose weight and you are going to work out 5 times a week.  You may not see any weight loss in the first couple weeks but if you do it consistently inch by inch every single time you will see a big difference over time.  IF you stick to that discipline you will lose weight over someone so did stick to that discipline.

Anyway here is the video enjoy

Come back every Mondays for more motivational monday videos to start off your week

Jim Rohn INSPIRATIONAL Quotes w/music by U2

I wish I was still back in school!

Do you ever find yourself saying.. “Man! I wish I was still back in school! Or “ Man! I wish I was a kid again!” If you’re like me, I have said those same words many times in my adult life. At first, I used to say this because I missed the fun times during those years, then as I thought about it further, and the reason why I said those words is because I missed the optimistic person I was at the time. The feeling that after school I will be this, I will achieve this, I will have this! At a young age we already develop goals, dreams and ambitions, whether it may be being a fireman, an astronaut, the first female president, whatever it may be when we were young most of us are optimistic that we can achieve this.

But what happens when we get older, why do we suddenly feel that we cant achieve our goals? Why do we suddenly feel we can’t achieve success? As I was researching for my post today, a writer says we are pre conditioned as we get older to believe we cannot achieve our dreams. I don’t believe that. How I see it, there are situations that happen in our lives that sway us, from that optimism that we once had as a youth, and once this has happened we go to suddenly are on a different path and we give up on our dreams, ambitions, goals in life.

Brian Tracy says “ It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.”

It really doesn’t matter where you’re coming from. You may not be where you thought you would be in life, what does matter is that you are doing something to get yourself to where you want to be again. Personal development and self improvement is key to removing those negative mental, and negative emotional aspects that have built up within you. If you can just take away one negative aspect you’re on the right track, but if you can continually block or take away negative aspects in your life you are directing yourself back on the track you once were on. This is not an easy task and may be a long journey. “ Trust me! I am still on my journey.” As long as you have that WANT deep inside yourself to change your current situation, and you have a good reason WHY you want to change your situation, then you’re on the right track.

I am not a Personal development guru, far from it. I am like you, still on that journey, and if you’re not on that journey back to your goals, dreams, and ambitions, Join me! Lets do this together, and not say “Man I wish I was back in school!” But lets say “Man, I love where I’m at right now and it can only get better!”

How to visualize correctly

How to visualize correctly

What ever the mind can conceive it can Achieve.  Those were the great words of Napolean Hill from his great book think and grow rich.   But what truly does that mean?  So you’re saying if I think it I can have it.  Did I read that correctly?  Well to sum it up yes you can.  Then another question rises, how do I visualize correctly?  What do I exactly need to know to get everything that I want by visualizing?  Well in this article I am going to tell you exactly what I do personally to visualize the right way and attract everything that I want in my live.

Here are the 5 things you need to do in order to use visualization correctly.

1.          Make sure you have a vision board made for yourself.

-          This is key to visualization.  Make a vision board of ALL the things that you want in life.  What kind of cars, homes, money, islands, computers, anything that you want in life get a picture of it and put it on your vision board.

-          Making a vision board is pretty fun.  You collect pictures of things that you want and the exercise of making the board is also helping you visualize what you want in life.

2.          Look at your vision board daily.

-          I usually look at my vision board first thing in the morning and before I go to bed.

-          Spent at least 10 to 15 minutes looking at all everything on it.  The good part about it is by looking at your board it should put you in a peak state of happiness.

3.          Visualize as if you are there.

-          I learned this from Robert Allen.  He said one of the things he would do when he visualized is not just use sight in visualizing.  He would use all his senses while visualizing.  He talked about getting inside your dream home and hearing the sound of your music playing.  Smell what your own personal cook is cooking your in kitchen.  And when you are inside the house feel the walls, the sofa.

-          Use all of your senses as if you are already there.  If it’s a car you want feel the leather on your butt.  Smell that new leather and hear that engine roar when you rev it.

4.         Practice daily affirmations

-          Use affirmations daily.  Once in the morning and once at night.  An example would be I am a millionaire.  Speak your affirmations as if you already achieved them.  If you want a list of daily affirmations make sure you check out my other articles.

5.          No matter what keep your eye on the prize.

-          You will get people who will make fun of you for doing this daily but don’t let that kick you off your path.

-          Always focus on the activity of doing these visualization techniques on a daily basis and I guarantee you the result will eventually come into your life.

Will Smith Law of attraction and hard work

Motivational Monday – Will Smith Law of attraction and hard work

In this clip is Will Smith talking about how you have to DECIDE what your outcomes are going to be.  One of the quotes he says is “2+2=4 because I chose it to be 4″  Another part of the movie he talks about how you have to be willing to work hard.  Decision alone won’t get you to where you wanna go but you MUST take action.  He uses the analogy of being on a treadmill and how there’s only two options for him on that treadmill – either he dies or you get off the treadmill first.

So you must first DECIDE what your outcome is going to be then you MUST TAKE ACTION and be WILLING TO WORK HARD NO MATTER WHAT!!!

Make Your Bed!!!

Make your Bed

How many people can honestly say they make their bed up every morning? “Come on now! put down your hand, you know you don’t!” ” just kidding!” You never know how sometimes the small chores in life, can create an impact on your mindset throughout the day. I learned this small trick from an old sales manager of mine,  I few years back I was in a bit rough patch in terms of my sales goals. I felt out of it,  a little burned out and just not focused. He pulled me in asked what was going on, just to see how I was doing and asked me the same question I just posed to all of you. I thought he was kind of crazy but, I was willing to give it a shot.

So if you feel like you’re in a rut, have lost some sizzle, try this small exercise. I guarantee results, at the very least your significant other will appreciate the gesture!

I don’t know about you but I enjoy my sleep, and one of the benefits of making your bed in the morning is it creates a sense organization for the start of your day. While you’re driving to work  you already have a good feeling that this might be a good day, just by making your bed.It also brings a sense of accomplishment to your day. If your day has not gone the way you would have wanted, and you haven’t closed on some of the deals you would have liked,wouldn’t it be nice to come home to a perfectly made bed that just looks so inviting that your bad day just goes away?

All this takes is five minutes to 10 minutes a day,and just try it for at least a week. This definitely works! Have a great Hump day everyone!

Motivational Monday Facing the Giants

Motivational Monday Facing the Giants clip.

“Giving your very best.  Giving it your best just keep going.  Don’t stop, don’t quit till you have nothing left.”

In life sometimes we tend to short change ourselves from our goals.  Before we even start a hard task we have already given up on it.  But in reality if you keep driving and give it everything you’ve got that hard task can be accomplished.  No matter what you have to do it can get done.  And when you hit a plateau or think you can’t go any further negotiate with your mind to find more strength to get through it.  It takes heart to keep going through something when everything around you is telling you to stop.

Hope you enjoyed another clip from Motivational Monday- Facing the Giants.  Use this to have a great start to your week.  Come back again for another motivational monday clip.
