There is only one...True Success.

And that is to spend your life, in your own way.

Sound corny or unreachable? Maybe at first, but what is means, is that
we first align ourselves with our passion.

That's the stumble point for most: "How can I make a living lying on
the couch, or playing video games, or just hanging out?"

The second part clarifies: we then align our passion with a beneficial
Vision, other than ourselves...like having your passion helping out
individuals, pets, the world - just pick it.

Once we are aligned with our passion "plus" our Vision, we will be
spending our life...our way...while helping others.

At what age...

Did we take our pictures down?

I bet, we can all remember back when we were young...we put posters and pictures up in our bedrooms of our hero's.

We would gaze at them at night, and we would awaken, and dream of what
it would be like if we were our hero's...how our life would change, and
how we would better the world...being them.

Maybe it's time we put up some pictures, like we did in our youth?

They guided us then, and the could very well, guide us now.

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.

From time to time...

We all have "our world" that seems to cave in a bit, and we feel the
pressure from all sides.

As a matter of fact, it can feel tighter than the middle seat in coach.

But we all have choices on what to do when we feel the squeeze...we can
continue to feel uncomfortable or we can use the feeling as inspiration to loosen things up.

Being uncomfortable from time to time, is just a part of life, and it's up to us, what we want to do about it.

Yours in "Loosening Up" - Coach

It sure would be nice...

If we were able to achieve everything that we set out to do, when we set out to do them.

But life always changes and it seems to change our focus on what was important in the past, to what is important in the future.

So don't worry about not achieving everything we set out to, just focus on what makes the most sense as time passes.

Just like popcorn, some of them pop and some of them don't.

But the ones that do, are the ones that got most of the energy.

Yours in "Focus" - Coach

Our lives shouldn't be...

A flip of a coin...a 50/50 chance.

It should be 100%...Good and getting Better.

Can't get it all at once, don't even need to, otherwise there would be
nothing to do.

Just move forward, choosing what's important to you and the ones in
your life, and let it rip, and not by chance...but your intended
direction.

Then keep moving forward, and detour when you need to, on your way from
Good to Better.

"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

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

Life doesn't get much better!

Sure we have our ups and downs, ins and outs, ahead and behind, we can
go on and on, it's just called balance, everything in life has balance.

We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite.

The tide rises and then retreats, there is day and then night.

So what's the big deal about setbacks?? They're only balanced by comebacks.

And challenges...love 'em, they are just balanced by opportunities.

WOW, what a world we live in...it doesn't get much better than that.

Yours in "Loving Life" - Coach

We can't live forever...

And on first thought, it would be nice to.

But what happens if we did live forever?

Our family would die off and our friends would pass on too, leaving us all
alone.

So on second thought, maybe it's not the best that we live forever,
just do all we can with the one life we have.

That may make more sense.

Holidays...

Are made for us to Celebrate.

With our friends, our families and co-workers.

It is our time to relish what really matters in our life, when the clock is stopped with regard to our daily routines and tasks.

So let's all celebrate, as we are meant to do on this rare Saturday holiday commemorating the day of our Independence.

Independence Day represents more than we all could hope for, in more ways than one.

Yours in "Celebration" - Coach

Life is about...

Continuing to learn new things.

And it's all up to us, what we want to learn.

Ah, the choices and the possibilities - and it doesn't have to be
learning about things that only help us out, it's about learning about
others as well.

And there is no age, research shows us, that we stop the learning
process and our brains stop developing new neural pathways - that's
what's so special about it!

So what new things are you going to "learn" today, tomorrow and this year?

Yours in "All the Possibilities" - Coach

Listen to the Ones...

That have been grown up most of their lives, it just may be the wise thing to do.

Growing up, we all probably "knew it all" when we were still in sigh
school, but then as time moves on, we seem to know less and less.

I have picked up quite a few gems from those in my life, that have been
around for a while, and the sweet part about it is...they usually give
insights or a new perception, in a way that really makes it matter.

Yours in "Listen" - Coach

Peoples decisions are based on...

Their beliefs.

Since what we believe, is a base for our decisions, we can
understand that our decisions create our actions, and our actions
create our future.

So what are our beliefs about our lives and our future?

Our we believing our lives and future is not that good, or great?

Do we believe we are not in control, or in control?

Do we believe we are worthy of a great life or not worthy?

These question may seem silly, but it all starts with our beliefs and
ends with our future.

Eating Junk Food...

...on a consistent basis, drains the body of it's vital energy.

The body channels it's healing forces to repair tissues...sustaining
life, and it also is forced to clean up the sub-natural waste that that
is left, when a diet high in junk foods is continually pumped into it.

As a result, the body becomes weakened and less able to fight off
infection, prevent degenerative diseases, build healthy tissue and restore health.

Junk food once in a while, should be OK, but with a constant diet of
junk food and the body goes down hill.

We all probably know it, just sometimes we all need a reminder:).
