Self Discipline

Self Discipline is perseverance, thinking before acting and finishing what you have started. It doesn't mean staying within your comfort zones but acting according to what you think instead of how you feel. Self discipline can be developed but it tak

Goal Striving Paradox

What an interesting Paradox goal setting can create.

Sort of like in golf where you could have a goal of not hitting your ball in the water. Or your goal could be landing your ball squarely in the middle of the fairway with a great position. Which goal is more inspiring? What are the likely outcomes of each goal?

Think about it.

How many times have you set a goal and failed to reach it?

Personally, I have lost count.

Sometimes it was because my goals were too aggressive. Other times I lost interest in the goal. And then another portion of the time, I was pretty much sabotaging my achievement of the goal.

The following video explains why.

Please leave me your comments and let me know what you think :)

There are only two options regarding commitment

Commitment

There are only two options regarding commitment;
you're either in or you're out.
There's no such thing as life in-between.

It's Find The Spark Monday


At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
 Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

~Albert Schwietzer

Reading this quote makes me think of an Anthony Robbins book titled "Awaken The Giant Within".   That giant is in there, in each and every one of us.  We mostly think about how to awaken our own giant, but what if the secret was to awaken this in others?  What if that were the key to our own aliveness?

Why not add this to your  to do list today?  Check yourself to see if you are providing a spark for others or are you being candle snuffer.    Take time, be present to the people you encounter today, contribute to them.  

Not sure how? Try this - sincerely ask them about themselves and the things that they find important.  Then just listen.   At the end of the day take stock of the impact you've had and see what has happened to your own giant.   Rinse and Repeat!!

Have a great day.
