Great Intentions...

Need to be coupled with great execution.

Otherwise, it doesn't become reality.

It's like a great idea, without a plan...it just stays an idea.

So let's make it our point to have our great ideas and great intentions
to have a solid game plan with excellent execution.

That way, what is started, can be finished.

Call the Fire Department...

Because someone's game is on fire!

We can all see and feel when someone's game is smoking hot.

Whether it's in our own lives, someone else's, even a company or a team.

Sports is a great example...once a person or a team is firing on all
cylinders, they go on unstoppable streaks, and can't seem to lose.

What's the difference between being cold and "on fire"?

When the training, focus, intent and passion...have become one.

This sounds like You!

I will take control of my life...

Not by storm, but with gentle, yet firm nudging.

I will be paving my own road to match my Vision.

I am the favorite to win the game that I create.

I know others will help, but I will rely on myself.

I am powerful beyond measure - that's just how it is.

Yours in "You" - Coach

Oh boy...today's blog number is 777, looks like this is our lucky day!

We always invite luck into our lives, but there is a way to be even more lucky.

When we see people that always seem to be lucky, there is usually some other things that have happened behind the scenes.

"Luck is where preparation meets opportunity" - so the more prepared we
are, when the opportunity arrives, bingo, we click game...and from the
outside, we look lucky.

So keep preparing, and smile inside when someone says "You have all the luck", it's the sweetest compliment we can all get

Pounds released...

Or pounds gained - all up to us.

We've said in the past that 100 "extra" calories a day is 10 pounds
gained over the course of a year.

So in reverse, 100 "less" calories a day is 10 pounds released over the
course of a year.

What we didn't talk about is that an increase or decrease in exercise
is also a factor in whether we want to gain or release weight.

So it's really a game of numbers and exercise...to get ourselves where we
want to be...and it's all up to us.

We all know...

The folks in our lives, where a discussion tends to end up in a
disagreement...when we have an opposing opinion.

We often forget and disagree with that person, which virtually always
ends up in a "spat".

We don't have that challenge with others - so we must remember that the
challenge is part of "their game" and only becomes "our game" if we
allow it.

We're not saying we must kowtow to them, just let them play "their
game" - it's theirs, and not ours.

After all "Why poke the bear"?

Of all the things we wear...

Our Expression is the most important.

An expression of happiness or one of anger can either be a green light
for great communication, or stop communication dead in it's tracks.

And since communication develops into relationships, we must be mindful
of what our faces are saying to others.

Even experts agree that expression is gaged more than any other other
body characteristics which leads us to be approachable or not.

Whatever is happening inside, we can always show a little game on our
face...because the resulting communication, sometimes is all we may
really need.

Move it, Move it.

There are times when we need to get going, especially when we face
challenges.

"When the coals get hot, we need to move our feet", otherwise we get
burned.

And "When we are playing with Elephants, we need to move quickly, or we
get stepped on".

Good things to know, because there are times when we need to get going
and look around, instead of playing our own game, in our own time.

Because whenever we are playing a game - we are playing with others.

In any game...

Whether it be the game of life, work or play...on paper, there can be
favorites, and also a projected "Winner".

But we don't play on paper.

This is pretty cool, because when we play our game, we often times
receive doubt, opposition or resistance from others - which sometimes
gets in our heads.

But last time I checked - once the game starts, all the bets are off -
maybe that's why there no such thing as a "sure bet".

And this is because when the game begins, it's the focus, desire and
determination of the players that produces the outcome...and not what
they have done in past.
