Possible or Plausible?

Could be both!

Possible, objectively means to be capable of occurring.

Whereas Plausible, subjectively means believable and
worthy of confidence or trust, which is derived from YOU and your beliefs.

Most all things are Possible, yet your belief of it being
Plausible, is what gets it done.

Don't be afraid to see...

Yourself through another's eyes.

We all have a perception of who we are and what we can become, and the
studies show that other people think more highly of you than you do of
yourself.

I think and believe that everyone has the ability to achieve at their
highest potential and what stands in the way is the way they view
themselves.

So don't be afraid of seeing yourself through another's eyes - for what is seen, is usually better than what is seen by you.

Yours in Seeing Better - Coach

Reprimand in Private...

if we have to) and Praise in Public.

A Good Rule to live by.

Everybody knows their own faults and weaknesses, so there is no need to have others know them
as well.

And since we all strive for Acknowledgment and
Recognition, Praise should be done in Public.

And it makes no difference if it concerns our family,
friends or coworkers...it's all the same.

Yours in "Hopefully Mostly Praise" - Coach

Being Rigid...

Works well with buildings but not too good with people.

Being Flexible is key.

Our ability to turn on a dime, seeing the others point of view and
making changes when needed which results in the desired outcome, is what
makes a good person great.

So if you need to loosen up a bit and deviate from what you didn't
anticipate - It's OK, it's part of the game.

Because if everyone doesn't budge and holds their ground - we all come to a
grinding halt.

Yours in Being Flexible - Coach

At a recent visit to Starbucks...

There was long, lazy line.

I didn't care as I hardly ever go, but there was a lady in front of me
with an itch to get moving - she was huffing and sighing for 10 minutes
until she got to
the counter.

The barista behind the counter was super, and apologized to the woman
for the long wait...but the lady in front of me wasn't having any of
it, and in no uncertain terms, she let the barista have it - with both
barrels.

After the unhappy lady snatched her scone and grabbed her coffee in a speedy
fashion and darted out, I asked the barista who just got snapped at, "She wasn't too
happy was she? - sorry"...and instead of being devastated by the mean customer, she simply replied "That's OK, I'm getting
my car back today".

That was Brilliant - the barista didn't let even a sliver of negativity
into her life from the nasty customer...she just played her own game.

Yours in "Brilliant" - Coach

A Sunday Drive is nice...

But taking a Sunday Drive every day of the week will not get us too far.

Balance is great, don't get me wrong, but doing things just to be doing
things, without direction, most of the time will just not help us get
where we want to go.

During the week, we may just want to "Drive our Bus to Success Town".

We don't have to even drive it hard...just in the direction of where we
choose, so progress is made, even if it's little by little.

Yours in "The Drivers Seat" - Coach

The Most Seasoned...

Professionals have one thing in common...they can handle
adversity in stride.

The True Professional can take anything which comes into their work or personal lives, that may distract them
from their plans, and quickly go to plan "B" while working on a Solution
instead of grinding to a standstill.

It takes a little multi-tasking, but that's what makes the Successful,
Successful.

Yours in Success - Coach

It's difficult to Achieve...

Today's goals, starting with yesterday's tasks.

Procrastination is usually the culprit, as it piles things up for the
future, that were supposed to be done in the past.

So do things as you think of them, as thinking about it is the hardest
part, to free up your future AND your mind to create the Marvels that
await you!

Yours in Great Future Creations - Coach

Close the Loop?

Ever applied somewhere and never heard back? Or been asked to be
involved to participate in another's deal only to be left hanging?

It speaks loud and clear that they have forgotten about you and, in
turn, they are letting you know that they are on to more important things.

So whenever you involve others, make sure to get back to them and "Close
the loop".

Yours in "People Matter" - Coach

Taking it to the "Next Level?"

Why not, everything else is going there.

Would you like to work on a 1980's computer? Or drive a 1930's car? How
about using the old telephone you had to crank?

Even from birth we have been taking it to the "Next Level" with our
experiences, knowledge and skills we acquire.

Change is good and the "Next Level" is even better.

Yours in Embrace and Drive Change - Coach

Just keep the Needle...

Of Hope and Opportunity pointed in the direction you want to go.

We will always have detours along the way in our life's journey, some
of them getting us off course, or maybe putting us in "pause" for a bit.

No matter what we face or happens in our lives, the Needle can always
be pointed in the right direction, help getting us back on course,
once the interruption is in the past.

Yours in "Staying the Course" - Coach

A lot of Inspiration and Motivation...

Comes from Recognition.

Why not?

I don't think anybody wants to do anything for a long period of time
without recognition.

That's the very reason many golfers don't play alone...for if they hit
a great shot, there was no one there to see it.

So recognize others for their efforts and contributions...and it will
give them the fuel to keep going strong.

Yours in Recognition - Coach

Nothing Should be...

Handed to you, and rarely is, you have to earn it.

Wishing, Wanting and Dreaming without action or effort is fruitless.

I have another saying on the back of the Billion Dollar Bills that we use in Goal Setting which
reads "The person on the top of the mountain didn't fall there".

So if you want something - remember you have to earn it by actions and
effort.

Yours in "Earning it" - Coach

The Majority of Americans...

Work for a company.

And the majority of the employees also somehow think things should run smoothly or be perfect, all of the time.

But in Reality, society and companies run like anything else in this
world...just like our lives, there are ups and downs, twists and turns
and occasional challenges.

So at our workplace, as in our lives, we must not be preoccupied with
the changes, challenges, or what needs to be fixed, for those things
will be handled when resources and focus allow.

We simply need to stay focused on what we can do to make things better.

Yours in Reality - Coach

All or Nothing?

That attitude in goal setting, many times, can disrupt our attempt of
creating our desired results.

The truth is, life sometimes gets in the way and it must not derail our
Freight Train to Success City.

So in goal setting, don't be too attached to "All or Nothing" and maybe
think of it as "Just Better than Before".

Yours in Success - Coach

As we know...

Our Thoughts have a great deal of influence on how we feel about things
and it is our Choice to Choose our Thoughts.

Where we see ourselves and how we see our life is basically up to
us...we can think poorly about our situation or feel excited about our
future - all our Choice.

I don't know about you, but "I'm living in a Hot Tub in Fun Town".

Gets me pretty pumped! I can Choose to Think otherwise - but Choose not
to.

Where are you Living?

Yours in Choice - Coach

Pitching In...

Remember when you were young and needed a little assistance and someone
helped you out and pitched in?

It was a pretty good feeling not only for you but for the other person
as well.

We can still do the same thing when we are grown up.

Just a little assistance, guidance or pitching in will still do
wonders for all parties involved while also helping to form new bonds
and relationships.

So pitch in when you are needed and you will create a win - win
situation.

Yours in Pitching In - Coach

Reactive or Proactive?

Which one are you?

Being reactive dictates that you are "reacting" to all that goes on in
your life and thus puts you in the position of being second in command.

Whereas being proactive puts you in charge of your life, and since
being proactive is making the 1st move, other things need to "react" to
you, and your decisions...putting you in the driver's seat.

Knowing the difference is can be powerful in gaining control over your
life.

Yours in Being Proactive - Coach

On a recent plane trip...

I noticed that the Rocky Mountain Range looked really tiny.

It's kind of weird, but when we have a view of the total scene from high above, what we
perceive as really big in every day life, looks small.

Maybe we should remember that when we have challenges within our
lives...

Looking from high above and seeing the whole picture of what we
have and the opportunities that are available, just may shrink our
challenges into the proper perspective.

Yours in "Seeing the Big Picture" - Coach

My 8 year old boy Sam...

Loves to ride and attempt tricks on his skateboard.

He came in recently and said he just got "Big Air Opportunity".

Having no idea of what he what talking about...he explained that "When
you skateboard and you feel everything is right as you are going into
your trick, you have the opportunity to get "Big Air" and it doesn't
come around that often and you shouldn't waste it".

Yours in - What's your "Big Air Opportunity"? - Coach

Lean on it...

It will make you feel good.

We are talking about our daily routine of getting our "things" done.

We usually plan our time to get done just what we need to get done for
that day, and rarely handle things of tomorrow.

Maybe just once in a while, after some nice rest, we can "lean on it"
just a bit and handle some "things" of tomorrow...today.

Yours is a Good Feeling - Coach
