Today I was thinking through the next few weeks of my life.
Rehab therapy comin up. To recover from the major back surgery that I had on Jan 18th.
Gona take some determination! But gettin healthy, and in better shape is what I have wanted to do! So now I have even more reason to do so!
I opened my email and here was this amazing quote passed to me from our friend Patrick. About success, and how we hold ourselves back from it, for the sheer sake of fear! Fear of acheiving it. WOW! I look around me... I am watching a show on Oprah about "the Secret". The key to overcoming the obstacles in our life. I just a few days ago watched a show on self image, and learning to look in the mirror and love what we see! On my night stand is the book, Finding My Own North Star, and beside my chair is the book "Excuse me, Your Life is Waiting".
I think to myself... What good are all of the "motivational" things in the world, if we don't do what this little word of advice suggests! Thanks P'k!! Much appreciated is the reminder to...
Decide and do
The route to success in any area of life can be summed up in a simple, easy-to-remember formula. Decide what you wish to do, and then do it.
That may seem entirely obvious, and indeed it is. Yet even though the path to success is so clear and simple, many people have great difficulty following it.
The decision of what to do can be greatly hindered by doubts, fears, insecurities and worries, as well as by confusion over priorities. To get past all that, remember that every doubt is a creation of your own mind, and deep within you is an authentic purpose that can transcend any challenge.
When it comes to taking action, there can be all sorts of justifications and excuses for not doing so. To move forward anyway, it's important to keep in mind that every moment is an opportunity to create value for your life and your world.
When you choose to do nothing with this moment, the opportunity it contains is gone forever, never to return. Choose instead to invest yourself in effective action, and the potential value of this moment is transformed into real, actual, lasting value in your life.
Decide how you can best express the values and dreams that mean so much to you. Then take step after step to successfully bring your decisions to life.
