Motivational Monday #190: Finishing Well....You Deserve It

 As days go on we may at times lose a bit of our gusto. We begin to slide or drift and the day finishes us instead of us finishing the day. That can be a battle we face periodically or on a more consistent basis; either way it's something that we can and need to overcome. That battle isn't next to us, this battle is won in our mind. 

One small tip is what I simple do is having my goals and expectations taped up right next to my computer. They are a constant reminder what why I do what I do & what I need to make sure I'm doing to reach me potential & goals. 

Another tip I have is something from back in my high school cross country days; yes I ran cross country in high school and absolutely loved it :) I wasn't the fastest or most talented by any means but I had work ethic & grit. I know that talent wasn't going to get me across the line faster so it was going to be hard work & grit that did. I would focus on the next person in front of me as my goal to pass (the next task), then the next; you get the picture. Then when the final stretch towards the finish line was in sight, usually about a quarter to an eight of a mile it was time to dig deep. We called it the kick. Our goal was simple. Only we did the passing there. No one, passed us in that final stretch & our finish line was different from every other team that we raced against. While others were crossing the line and stopping just after it we would still be at a sprint at least 50 yards past the line; that was out finish line. That mindset goal helped to insure that we crossed the line giving it our best, without any slowing down. We knew that  our best was left out there. 


It may be a day, a week, a month, a quarter or sometimes even just an hour...finish well. 

Give yourself a FRESH Start

Stay STRONG

FINISH WELL

Motivational Monday #247: Adapting is not a luxury if....

  Adapting is not a luxury if you want to keep succeeding at a high level.   Recognizing factual changes in an economy, market or industry is something we all must do. Then, with that knowledge we must look at what we are current doing and make updates/changes accordingly in order to keep the pace we want to be on. If things change and we do not, we still change, but at the control of outside and not inside.  Change does not mean (though it may in some cases) leaving some things fully behind. It may mean we do MORE of some things, less of others or a combination of both. The only MUST is to do something; doing nothing is becoming a passenger. We also do not change for the sake of change. We change to help us adapt effectively. Effectively is defined as getting us to the goal or destination that we set forth. We don't lower our goal/standards when things change; we ourselves rise up.  It's a choice every day and many times during the day as well to rise up. Others will choose t

Motivational Monday #258: Give Up

Image
  Just because something use to be a road block in the past does not mean it has to be now. YOU CAN DO IT! Give up on thinking that hard is impossible. Give up on believing that the idea or thing in your heart is not for you. Give up on allowing outside opinions the power to hold you down.  When you give up these things it allows you to PICK UP what you need to achieve the goals you have in your head and your heart. Potential is a great things, but it becomes truly beautiful when you embark on the journey towards achievement of it. On the journey you will have obstacles, don't give up. On this journey you will encounter people who will hinder you as well as people that enable you; mind that difference. On your journey you will also be inspiring others by your words and actions for them to Give up as well, so they can PICK UP & Go as you are.

Motivational Monday #266: Take The Hill

Image
Standing at the base of a journey looking up my feel daunting. That may be true, it m ay be daunting, but worth it. We choose the journey ahead, forward & up because we want to improve, grow, succeed & provide. We grow into that accomplishment & when we get to the top we enjoy the view and celebrate. Please remember the journey that we take in order to get there. Those are the victors, wins, setbacks and stories that create it all while creating who & what we are.  We are capable.  We are equipped.  We are worth it.
