A Future 4 U

"A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided."
~ Anthony Robins


We want our future to be better than our today.  Have you made a decision to change?   What have you done today to make tomorrow better?

You can have a plan for today but if you don't take any action and implement that plan then you only have a fantasy.  Easy to say you are going to make a change, easy to write the plan down but it will not just happen,  The hard part is to take action, show that you truly want to make a change.  

So what's the plan? Let's start making a list of everything you are going to do tomorrow.
Oh my it is the end of the day and you have over 27 things to do tomorrow.  OK  you want change so you say I will get all of this done tomorrow.  'NOT!'  You can't get all that done tomorrow and then what happens at the end of the day and you have only finished 3 things?  You feel hopeless because you want change and you did what you were supposed to do and you FAILED.  Do you realize you did 3 extra things today.  Remember Noah did not build the ARK overnight.  It took him years.  

So we are going to start with making a reasonable  list of things to do .  First you write down everything you have to do that cannot be put off.

1.  Get the children up fed, get them ready for school  
2.  Take the children to school  
3.  Drop off the cleaning  
4.  Go to work  
5.  Pick the kids up  
6.  fix dinner/feed the family  
7.  Clean the kitchen   
8. Pick up the house
9. Do a load of laundry.  

Now we all know that is a full day and sometimes it feels hopeless.   

Mercy me, how can I do one more thing?  How am I going to make a change?  Come back and we will discuss how you can do one more thing, how you can take action and change.  It is not hopeless.  

See you soon

“The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other. “
- Orison Swett Marden

As Orison Swett Marden states, the only success in your life is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given you.  No one likes everything about themselves, but should that stop them from being the best?  If it does then they don’t want to succeed. 

Are you happy being less than you can be?  I’m certainly not and the only people I know who are really don’t believe it can be any different than it is.  Don’t think you can be pretty?  Look at Susan Boyle, did anyone think she was pretty when she was first on Brittan’s Got Talent?  No, but look at her, she is beautiful. 

So moving on to the future which is what we are looking towards.  What do you need to change to make your future happy, successful, amazing?  That is a question you have to answer.  Where do you go from here?  Do you want to lose weight or have an amazing career or maybe even both.  I found both in one place. You can have the life you have dreamed of.  Believe, in yourself, reach for the stars and make the most possible out of what has been given you. BE, DO, BE.
Your future is in your hands. Don’t operate out of fear, believe in yourself

Have a successful day.

We only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. So stop. Try something you’ve never tried. Teach it. Do it. Risk it.

-Jon Blais

Just remember:  "Today is The First Day of the Rest of our Lives"

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how

we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by

the attitude we bring to life.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

Anon.

“People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves, they have the first secret of success."
~ Norman Vincent Peale

To be successful you have to believe in yourself.  Read the poem by Marianne Williamson again.  Who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Who are you not to believe in yourself?  Who are you not to be successful?  If you don’t believe in yourself I encourage you to get one of these books and learn to believe.

• The Art of Exceptional Living by Jim Rohn
  
• Self Matters: Creating Your Life from the Inside Out by Phillip C. McGraw
• Maximum Confidence: Ten Secrets of Extreme Self-Esteem by Jack Canfield

Pick one, read it and believe.  You are remarkable.
When you believe in yourself then you will see the greatness in you. 

As Henry Ford said;
“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right.”

So get started on your future.  Have you started making any changes, have you made any lists of what you want to do or be? 

Today is a good time to start becoming the champion you are. 

Your day is remarkable!
