"If you are not yet who you want to be, this is a great opportunity for you to get there."
Every morning that we awake, we have a choice. Are we choosing to take a step closer to: letting go of the past, getting out of our comfort zone, building self confidence? Or, are we choosing to base who we want to be on hope? Are we just hoping to get there?
"Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time... you may miss the opportunity to become who you really want to be." ~Jon Bon Jovi

Make The Most Important Thing The Most Important Thing
Do you read magazines? What is your favorite television show? What is your favorite sport team? How much time of your life is spent being emotionally involved with something that has nothing to do with your future. "Your focus is your future." Are you focused on your future?
"I find it fascinating that most people plan with better care for their vacations... than they plan for their lives." ~Jim Rohn

The Pillow Test
The definition of commitment is, "Keeping your word after the feeling has past."
Can you do sit-ups or crunches or stretch or push-ups or jog for just five minutes a day. Don't think about not having an hour a day for what you can't do, think about the little time you can fit into your day for what you can do.
That is 35 minutes of exercise a week. For some of you it is 35 times more than what you are doing now.
Every night when you go to bed and your head hits that pillow you can look back on the days events and either say, "I'm glad I did." Or, "I wish I had."
What will you say tonight?
"If you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got."

Are You Still Getting Ready?
Ready, Aim... Did you forget the last part? Many people keep refocusing. They put a "Ready" after aim, so their whole day is, "Ready, Aim, Ready."
Sound strange? Think of it this way. The definition for procrastination is getting ready to get ready.
Ready, Aim FIRE! Don't refocus until after you miss. Take a chance and fire, you'll never know how close you are until you miss.
"The only shot we miss is the one we don't take." ~Wayne Gretzky

Have Hope. Don't Live in Hope.
"It is the start that stops most people." ~Dr. Rob Gilbert
"I hope I get into better shape. I hope my life changes around. I hope I have less stress. I hope I do better in school."
Most people spend their life living in hope, which is all the WANTS that they are not actively going after. You can have whatever you want. But first we have to give some of it away.
"We get the most when we give the most." ~Unknown

What Are You Going Through? Wrong Question!
That is not the question we should be asking ourselves. The question is, "What are you going to."
"Obstacles are the things we see when we take our eyes off our goals." ~Zig Ziglar
What are you focused on? Are you focused on what you are going through? Or are you focused on, what you are going to?
When you are driving through a storm, don't stop half way through.
"If you are going through hell, KEEP GOING!" ~Ed Agresta

Life is Like a Bucket of Golf Balls
Special Happy Birthday to a responsible young man, Paul Cicalo.
At first you start hitting away carelessly. Each shot does not mean that much to you because so many shots still remain. Then there are just a few golf balls left. Only a few shots remain. You start to pay better attention. You want to crush these golf balls as far as you can because you know you can change your future at this very moment by how you approach the present. Then you get down to your last shot.
We must continue shooting everyday as though this is our last shot. You only get so many shots in life. What are you doing with yours today?
"If you are only guaranteed today, why worry about tomorrow?"

Why Do You Get Up In The Morning?
Is it to live your LIFE? Or is it because you have things to do?
"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it."
Quote of the month: "When you reach out, the chances are pretty good that someone will reach back." ~Cheryl Richardson
