Are you caught in the current?

I just responded to an email from an individual who is starting to feel a bit frustrated because their goals are not being met. I asked her what her daily routine was and she responded with answers that were about her competition.

All too often it is easy to get caught up in other people's situations, events, etc. to the exclusion of focusing on our own needs. In fact, some people use this as a coping strategy just so they don't actually have to face themselves and their own fears.

How about you? Do you ever find yourself struggling to improve?

River of Competition

Are you caught up in other current events, current fears, current player trends etc.. that are keeping you from making yourself better? There is a great life principle that says:

If you go with the flow, the river might take you places where you don't want to go!
Start today and focus on only what you can control....YOURSELF!!

The Truth about making Decisions

Decisions vs Preferences
Getting people to actually make personal decisions is one of the toughest things to do. How many times have you joined up with a group of friends, planning to have a bit of fun on the town only to find out two hours later nobody will just make a decision on where to go!

Why is this? Many people have a mindset of 'Preference' thinking. This type of thinking will lead to being indecisive and unable to ever commit. For example:

Preference Statement- I would really like to lose weight (need to, have to, should).


Instead of this type of mindset challenge yourself to be more proactive in making firm decisions. In doing so you will find out that you will quickly get on the fast track to achieving personal goals! For example:

Decision Statement- I will lose this extra weight starting right now.

Decision statements require comittment and are very powerful.


Challenge yourself today and see how many decision statements you can actually make!
