Day 55 / 100 Days to More ~
Follow your heart and go after your dream! There will be people in your life that will tell you that you’re wasting your time. Ignore them. There are things that will happen that will catch you on the blind side and drop you to your knees. Pull yourself together and move past them. Above all, don’t take it personally. It’s called life. Be deliberate about setting up your day to win. Whatever you feed your mind in the first 30 minutes of the day, will impact the spirit of your day. Saturate yourself with positive words that fuel your energy and ignite your spirit. Your thoughts create your reality. Create an extraordinary life!
There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. That’s not how we’re made. We’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s part of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.
Action: Every sinner can become a Saint, what life style are you choosing?

Avoid head trash. Don’t be a garbage can for anything that does not feed your intellect, stimulate your imagination, or make you a more compassionate peaceful person. Refuse to open your mind to other people’s trash. Tune out anything that promotes conflict or controversy. This can infect you with a mind virus of cynicism or defeat, and you won’t even know it! Ignore non-constructive, hurtful commentary.
Instead, encourage others and cheer for them. Having an appreciation for how amazing the people around you are leads to good places – productive, fulfilling, peaceful places. So be happy for those who are making progress. Cheer for their victories. Be thankful for their blessings, openly. What goes around comes around, and sooner or later the people you’re cheering for will start cheering for you.
Action: What do you think about creates the roadmap for your life….are you thinking well?

The fact you have a difficult time doing things other people can complete with ease doesn’t make you inadequate. It doesn’t make you incapable or weak. And it doesn’t make you a failure. It makes you human. The truth is everyone struggles with something. No matter how happy or well-adjusted a person may seem, we all have fears that hold us back. It’s normal to feel not normal. Take your time, learn who you are and appreciate all of you, good, bad, and ugly. God didn’t make a mistake, you are not a mistake.
Plus, no one really has the right to judge you. No matter what you do, there will always be someone who thinks differently than you. So concentrate on doing what you know in your heart is right. What most people think and say about you isn’t important. What is important is how you feel about yourself. It’s none of your business what other people’s opinions of you are. If you look through the lens of life, you will realize, most people fear what other people think and that is tragically sad. There’s only one of you in the entire world so embrace that statement and own your authenticity and originality. Your life is on your timing.
You are in the arena of life, blood, sweat and tears. Make life happen, don’t let life happen.
Action: We all have something holding us back when we think, “what would they say?” When will you stop thinking that way?

Have you ever had a door of opportunity slam in your face? A job application you did not get; a loan that was turned down; a friendship or relationship that ended; a proposal where the answer was no. When this happens in pursuit of your dream, don’t focus on the closed door. Step back and do an assessment. What happened? What did you discover about yourself? What do you need to do? Who must you become to move forward in starting over or trying again?
Are you settling for the crumbs of life instead of feasting at the banquet table? Life is more than just existing…it is about living to the fullest. It’s not about the material aspects in life; it’s something much more meaningful and deep. It does not lie in a bank account, a multitude of possessions, or surrounding yourself with a bunch of fake people in your life. It’s not about a job title. It’s not about having a beautiful face. It’s not about the surface level. It’s about your character, heart, kindness, thoughtfulness, gentleness, faith, generosity, and maturity. When you finally come to understanding this, you will truly begin to live your life?
Action: Where your focus goes your meaning becomes. What’s your anchor? What’s your depth and search for meaning?

Do you ever get frustrated because things are going too slow in your life? Many people don’t realize building a foundation to success does not happen overnight. It is a slow process in which you are constantly building and learning. It is extremely important to create a foundation that will remain strong even in times of failure or crisis. This takes time! You may have to remind yourself failing is only failure if you quit…otherwise it is a learning opportunity. So, don’t worry if your life seems to be in slow motion. Concentrate on building a solid foundation and learning from your steps back.
Don’t ever choose a permanent solution for a temporary problem. You have people who need you and who are counting on you. There is always another day and another way. Rise above the pain, and know deep inside of you is another person waiting to break through. You have the ability to rebuild, regroup, recover, and revive!! Breathe life into your dream. Know you can live a meaningful and purposeful life. You are an unrepeatable miracle, and your dream can live… despite what you feel and despite of what you’re going through right now! You have something special…you have GREATNESS within you!
Don’t hide from the mistakes. Don’t cover them up. Instead, clean up the damage and learn from what went wrong. Transform the mistake from a negative to a positive. When you do that, then every mistake you make is one you will never have to make again. Because, you have learned the lesson it was meant to teach you.
Action: Do you ever want to give up? Can you recall a time when you persevered and what you felt when you achieved your goal?

You are stronger than you think you are. It doesn’t matter what you are facing…a lost relationship, job, bankruptcy, foreclosure, health challenge, or financial situation. You have the power in you to recreate it all over again from scratch. It does not matter how old you are. Don’t beat yourself up. It’s natural to feel sorry for yourself, or feel frightened and want to give up. It doesn’t even matter if the people that you thought would have your back have deserted you.
You are still breathing. You’re still here, and you have the power to win. You are more powerful than you think you are. Don’t think any less. Stand up within yourself. Gather your mental, emotional, and spiritual strength, and speak from deep within. Say out loud when you begin to doubt, “I will survive. I will thrive. I am strong. Giving up is not who I am. I will stay the course, and persist until I succeed.” Resist the feeling of being overwhelmed, powerless, or being a victim. You are powerful so believe in yourself.
If you get mad, sad, or glad, you’ve been had by others! Action: What power of yours are you giving away?
