What separates people like Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mark Zuckerberg from the rest of us? We believe many would agree, it is the vision they had for themselves. Truth is, they are no different than anyone else in the world; they had their fair share of struggles and failures, but despite their setbacks they’d managed to become big time game changers in their fields of interests. If you have a vision, a passion or a dream within your heart, you are no different from anyone who has achieved uncommon success. You too can become a game changer. The “game” is different for each person. What is it that you want to change? Perhaps you want to lose weight or live a healthier lifestyle. Do you want to break familial patterns of alcoholism or addiction or improve the relationships in your life? Do you want to build a business empire that would give thousands of people job security? Or maybe you just want to live life on your own terms. The game is whatever you want it to be, and you are the one who can change it.
If you are on a journey for self-improvement, whether it is achieving your dream physique or, perhaps, learning to deal with negative self-talk, you most probably already know that there is no such thing as perfect. Improvement is a lifelong process rather than a final destination. Whenever you think you are good, you already know you can be much better. As frustrating as it may seem at times, embracing this one fact can save you a lot of headache down the road. Learn to love the ever constant battle! Our bodies, so are our minds only grow in the presence of challenge, and there is nothing more rewarding than looking back and seeing your starting point and how far you’ve managed to come. This week we encourage you to keep growing and bettering yourselves.
How many times in your life have you told yourself that you wished you’d started that business, gotten in a better shape, built better relationships? We all want something, whether it is a new job, healthier eating habits or simply a more positive outlook on life. Have you ever considered what may have been stopping you from achieving all these goals? Sure it could be that you are busy or lack perfect genetics, or, perhaps, you feel that you don’t have any support from those around you. Truth is, what separates you from anyone who’s ever made a name for themselves is their decision to actually work for their dreams. Ever heard a saying that it takes 20 years to make an overnight success? Nothing in life worth pursuing comes in easy; and nothing ever comes in fast. When you look at someone whose life inspires you, be sure to also read about those years when they were a hungry no one with an idea in mind that nobody cared about. Read about how many times they had to hear no for an answer, and how many times they had failed before they became “an overnight success.” When you keep telling yourself your dreams are unachievable, all you are really saying is that you don’t want to walk the extra mile or dedicate yourself fully.
We believe all of you would agree that one of the worst emotions that one may have experienced is regret. We all know that moment. Perhaps, we’ve said or did something we wish we didn’t do. We may get overwhelmed with guilt and anxiety and feel like our world is about to come crashing down. We feel helpless and incapable of fixing the situation. In fact, in most cases we really can’t fix anything. Actions do have consequences. We may lose a job or a relationship, or even our health and well being. None of these things, however, have to be catastrophic.
What comes to your mind when you think of a term “anomaly?” By definition, anomaly means something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected. When it rains in the middle of July in Southern California, we call it an anomaly. Dark matter, placebo effect, UFOs - those are just some examples that come to mind when we think of the term. In today’s world, however, a new type of anomaly is emerging; that is being so unapologetically you that you become the anomaly in the eyes of people yourself.
No matter how strong of a character you have there will always be times when you just want to give up. It may feel like you have been trying too hard and you are sick and tired of working your butt off for some goal you may never attain. Whether you are striving to achieve your fitness dreams, get promoted at work, or anything else worth getting, you may notice that at some point you will start doubting yourself and wanting to simply give up. To help you keep pushing, here are six reasons that you should consider when you feel like you can't go on anymore.
October is an international breast cancer awareness month. According to research conducted by various cancer organizations, about 12.5% of American women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime. With increased life expectancy, this number is only expected to climb higher. Genetics, poor diet and physical inactivity have all been linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer, however, no direct connection has yet been established. Whether you yourself or your loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer, the experience can truly shake your world and test your ability to stay positive and hopeful. It is in the time of adversity that our character is really being tested and how you cope with it will ultimately define your further life.
How many times did you promise yourself that tomorrow is THE DAY? Tomorrow you will start working out, you will stop making up excuses, you will eat healthy, call your mom… All these things you know you need to do but you don’t because let’s be real:tomorrow never comes. You say you’ll do it tomorrow? Stop lying to yourself; what you really mean is that you will never make time for it because it is not your priority.
Excuses, excuses... It seems like we are universally wired to stand in the way of our own success. Our brains can go to great lengths trying to convince ourselves why a certain goal is unattainable. We like to attribute our personal failures to circumstances, bad timing, limited resources or busy schedules.
