Many times we...

Compare our "worst" to everyone's "best".

We just want to see how we stack up against the competition, nothing
wrong with that.

But in doing so, we sometimes set ourselves up for failure, if we don't
think
about all the things we are good at.

We can't be good at everything and there are many people that are
smarter, stronger, faster, and healthier, but it doesn't mean that we
don't have just as many good things about us, as all the rest.

So when we size ourselves up to others, we just need to stay mindful of
the qualities we possess, in order to keep things in perspective.

Some of us are on the cutting edge...

Of Ignorance...I know I am.

We can't know everything, and we can never know it all, but we can sure
keep learning.

Remember when we were all 16? We knew it all! We were definitely
smarter than our parents and undoubtedly smarter than our teachers.

Then, once "real life" started to rear it's head of responsibilities,
we seemed to not be as smart as we thought we were.

Remembering that we were once as smart as they come, and we dummy up
over time is a great lesson and inspiration that can help us keep
learning and growing - once we pass the age of 16.

Where will you leave...

Or have left...Your Footprint in History?

Have you already done your best? Or is the best yet to come?

Even if we think we have done our best, we may just be able to top our
past accomplishments, even if we think it could never be outdone. It's
OK to attempt higher, as we will still have our original accomplishment
to softly fall back on, if we miss.

We never really know when our great footprint is made...but we do
know that there is always someone bigger, faster, and smarter...and
who's to say that "someone" isn't you?

Things don't happen to us...

They happen for us.

When things happen to us, we become the victim, and when things happen
for us, we are in charge and it is up to us, what we do with it, or what we do about it.

It's all about perception.

Whatever comes our way, comes our way, and it is up to us to view it
positively or negatively and our actions will follow our perception.

So whatever we face - we need to perceive it as an opportunity...an
opportunity to make us stronger, smarter, or more empowered and better able to deal
with the same things when it come around again.

Otherwise, things can break us down and take it's toll...when all we had
to do is change our perception.

Ever make a financial blunder?

We all have, and if life gave us do-overs, it would be great, but
that's not how life works.

Losing money is never easy because making it can sometimes be
difficult, and making up for lost money can mean working double time or
maybe just smarter.

But understanding our mistakes and poor choices when it come to our
dough, can actually make us stronger than we were before...in keeping and
growing what we got.

We can agree that our mistakes can make us stronger and build a plan
from our experiences, to better our future, or we can dwell on the past

• which does no good.

Don't believe it? Ever tried to make money in the Past?

Yours in Choice - Coach
