We are always touching something...

Unless we are jumping off the ground, but even then, we are
touching air.

We need to understand that we are always touching something...life is a
contact sport.

It may not make a lot of difference when we touch a table or the
ground, or touch a chair as we sit down, for these are inanimate
objects and don't really contain feelings.

But sometimes we touch peoples minds, while other times we may be
touching their hearts. We can touch someones "situation" in a good way
or not so good way - bringing them up or down.

So let's all stay mindful of what or who we are touching, on a daily
basis, for our touch may have an impact that can change another's life.

"The word "Yes"...

Has changed my life."

I wonder how many can use that statement, for the success in their own lives?

I bet...a ton.

No, is the usual response, and sometimes is followed up with an excuse or two.

There is definitely times to use "no" in our lives, yet the last I
checked, saying "Yes" to something, even if we don't yet fully know
all we are saying "Yes" to, turns the ordinary into possibilities.

What if we all said "Yes" a little more often?

Yours in "Yes" - Coach

How can it be...

Sooner than I think, when it is already later than I thought?

You know the deal...someone promising you something and when you have
already thought it should be there, you ask them about it, and they say
it will be there sooner than you think?

It's not only the deal with people, it's a Big Deal with companies.

Especially when someone, or some company has already got your dough.

Shouldn't be that way, but it is, and we can help change it...by
continuing to under-promise and over- deliver...WOW - What a concept!

Yours in "Service" - Coach

If you can change...

"I am afraid that it may not work out" with...

"There are people and things already in place that will help me".

And " I'm too old or I have never done that before" with...

"Today starts a new day and I can do, whatever I set out to do".

Your world will never be the same.

Whatever We Attempt...

If We think our chances are slim to none, with slim on a diet...

They probably are...Unless we change our thinking.

If you are in a Hole...

Stop digging.

We all get into a hole, once in a while, but hashing and re-hashing why
we got into it, or how bad it feels to be in it, gets us nowhere.

We need to change our thoughts into...how to get out of our Hole.
Simple as
that...just "spin" our thoughts and focus towards the solution and not
the challenge.

And soon enough, with a bit pf persistence, the dirt starts to fly back
in, and we start to rise out of our hole.

Remember - you dug it, you need to fill it back in.

Every Ten Generations...

A hero is born.

And once in a lifetime, there is a change in the path of history.

Those who have been a part of the change, must celebrate. There is no time to wait, for it is our time.

We have been part of what may have started as the absence of beauty, or
may of not been the center piece of virtue, but time proved
otherwise...and it became the high water mark for the future, for us to
step up from.

So let's celebrate...what has been put into motion, and for us to continue.

Yours in "Let's Celebrate...Our 10th Anniversary" - Coach

What we see in the mirror...

Is not always what others see.

We are all unique and beautiful in our own special way.

Yet, we don't always see it. This is because some of us are self
critical, and our worthiness or self esteem is usually below the view
of what others see.

Yes, most people think more highly of us than we do of ourselves, and
we should attempt to raise our view of ourselves to at least match the
view of where others see us, for starters. Why not? We only have to change our perception.

And if we have a hard time raising the view of ourselves - just keep at
it, and in the meantime...remember, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".

You can take a Successful Person...

In any business, put them in charge of a different business and
they will most likely become a success there too.

AND, you can take someone that has run a business into the ground, put
them in charge of a different business and they will probably run that
one into the ground.

That is because people seem to make the same choices in similar
situations which elicit the same outcome. We've all heard the "A tiger
never changes it's stripes"...well, the same goes with people...yet
people CAN change...but seldom do.

Yours in "You CAN change...if you want to" - Coach

Back in the day...

A king would rather be feared than liked.

That was because he had a captive audience.

But today, a King would rather be liked than feared.

This is because his audience has choices.

You are Royalty...are you keeping up with the changing times?

Yours in "Times Change" - Coach

The first time...

We quit, is the hardest...and then it gets easier over time.

Good to know, if you have a pattern of quitting or are considering
quitting something that you shouldn't be quitting.

You can either resist quitting, or change the pattern that gets easier...as your life gets harder.

It's really our choice.

Yours in "Suck it up Buttercup" - Coach

It's been 500 days since we started the daily Life Improvement writings.

And we can use the number 500 as either inspiration on how many
days have passed since we have started our Life Improvement, by taking our
lives to the "Next Level", or how many days we have let slip by, and
have done nothing.

Either way, Congratulations to both!

Congratulations for those of you that have been focusing your thoughts
and perceptions towards the positive side of the dial - you, most
likely, have found that when you have changed your thoughts - your
world changes...for the better.

And Congratulations for those of you that have not yet started, for
there is a world of opportunity awaiting you - when you're ready.

I will continue writing, so stay on board, or hop on board because there is no shortage of positive
or empowering things to write about, think about or act upon.

Yours in "500" - Coach

Are we working out...

Just to work out, or are we working on something?

Some tend to work out, just to get the body moving and that's great,
but does our workout have a focus on the desired results?

Do we want to change the way are arms look? Would we like to see a
different stomach? How about wanting to increase our cardio?

All of our desires to change our bodies towards improvement can achieve
better results if we have a focus to our workouts.

So whatever you declare to get better or shape up - simply align your
efforts accordingly, and put the "beat down" on your focus, until you
achieve what you want.

Yours in Focus - Coach
