In the moment

Getting caught up with the busyness of life impact all of us on a daily basis. Too many times we get consumed with worrying about the past or some future event. Doing this takes away from how we perform in any given moment. It changes our mindset and demeanor from positive to negative. It limits our ability to  cut through the fog and see things foe what they really are. When we do this, we cannot live in the moment. We may be sitting at our desk or on our bike, but our heart and soul are elsewhere caught up in playing our some scenario in our mind. Break this frame of mind as soon as you see it happening. It may take some effort, but we have to replace this pattern with on of bering totally immersed in the moment. For only then, can we life life at its fullest and move from existence to accomplishment.

Plow through

When it is tough...plow through
When you don't want to do it...plow through
When others doubt you...plow through
When you doubt yourself...plow through
When faced with adversity...plow through
When you want to give up...plow through

Life is not always a piece of cake. Somedays are tougher that others. When every fiber of your being tells you to stop, or to forget it , or to give up...that is when you have to buckle down and go ahead and do it anyway. Through this we develop perseverance and break through the wall that separates up from our dreams and goals. We are going to face adversity in our journey, that is a fact of life. It is almost like there is a cosmic test that we have to pass in order to get to the other side of the wall. So if you find yourself in a rut, or up against the odd know that you are in good company. Everyone that has ever achieved something of significance has been where you are. So, go ahead...plow through...and JOIN them on the other side.

It is not enough...

It is not enought to wish for results. Many dreams and plans have fallen well short of their vision. While dreaming and planning are critical, action is where the vision meets reality. Each small step may not feel like much at the time. But, with consistent and persistent effort those results will certainly manifest. When? That is a question of how much action and how much belief you have in your dream. See yourself as having achieved your reality, but do not stop there...every day take a step forward with action. Some days there may be massive action and some days there may only be tiny steps. But, get in the habit of taking action each and every day. Keep the momentum going!

Discipline

If we do not discipline ourselves, others will do it for us. This age old maxim is something that we must keep in mind every day. It is too easy to blame others or to blame the system. In the end, we have to take a hard look in the mirror and recognize that our results and actions are a direct result of what we are thinking.  

Sure, sometimes bad things happen, others let us down, or we let ourselves down. But, the difference is how we respond when those things happen. If we discipline our mind to respond and act a certain way it will. That can be a negative or a positive thing. It ruin you day....if you let it. Don't let it. Capture those negative thoughts and change them before they lead you a direction you do not want to go.

Discipline you mind and your actions will follow. And so will you body when you believe you will succeed.

Getting Started

It has been said that the journey of a thousand begins with the first step. That is the same approach that you have to take when it comes to working out. No matter where you are or how out of shape that you think you are...you have to decide right now that you are going to take the first step of change. Go to the doctor and get a physical, go for a walk, drop down and do some push ups...whatever you do just start taking action now. Capture each moment and make it yours. We do not live day to day, we live moment to moment and the choice is yours right now. So, what is it going to be for you?
