A snippet from Step 1. My goal is to inspire you!
In June…visit my store (on this website) to purchase the audiobook.
Step 1: The Decision
Discipline is a key ingredient to muscle through hard work
Anecdote: The process of writing this book was a labor of love. Life and procrastination got in the way; even though I stopped and started, the desire never left me, gnawing at my insides until the last word was written. I offer up what began as my personal guidebook, with questions that kept me on track, lined pages to write notes and action items to improve and stay positive. My purpose is to share pep talks, stories and tips as motivation for everyone who stands on the precipice of their own decision to make personal life changes. It starts with an idea. Now it's time to take action. Fix bad habits, secure self-belief, trust it's possible to reach your potential and turn dreams into reality. My goal is that my lessons inspire you. Want to succeed? Then focus on these words: Yes I can. Push forward. Work to break through the obstruction; commit to the transformation.
Key Takeaway: Invite in your best life. Stop the excuses, do self-audits, adjust and continue on course. Stand out; never retreat. Create opportunities, learn and grow. Why let fear decide your destiny? No more complaining! Summon up a positive mindset, seek joy and repeat: This is for me. Don't let life's distractions interfere with passion. Fight those moments of complacency; achieve what's in your heart. I found making a plan and seeing it through ended living with regret.
Choose Your Own Path
Why just stick your toe in the water? Instead, jump in and make a splash.
The Commitment
Life isn't a dress rehearsal. Choose your own direction; believe in yourself. Every day's a gift to be cherished and lived to the fullest. Make the decision. Don't inherit a life by default, permitting it to just happen. Take control, be consistent; your destination awaits.
Why just imagine it? Act! Get in the habit of doing a little each day. Design the reality and accomplish your dream. My experience proves that effort links to results.
Make the choice: Rid jealousy; it depletes energy. My rule: Replace with curiosity. Get inspired. Follow a path of purpose fueled by passion. Personal pride is a bonus. Ta-da: Success!
People who stick to their convictions reap the benefits. You hold the power to build inner strength and self-confidence.
Ask: What's calling you from deep inside? Victory means something different to each of us. Create time to achieve your vision; imagine how good it will feel to live it.
Reflect: What if Einstein, Serena Williams or Jobs had given up pursuing their personal best when facing a challenge? A new road may forge a better direction. Grow. Why stagnate?
Key into this visual: Once on the path, like a snowball gaining momentum, become unstoppable. Align with that picture, trust it's possible. Today is the day to get started. Stop fighting against yourself, never let fear be an obstacle.
Must do: Positivity and conviction are necessary to achieve whatever your desired outcome is. 1. Put one foot in front of the other. 2. Be confident. 3. Shed insecurity. 4. Take action! My mantra inspiring hope: Dream it, make it happen, live it.
Start Now: TAKE THE LEAP!
Pick out your own Daily Decision journal, a notebook, writing app or simply the lined pages in this book. Keep all your thoughts, ideas and notes in one place.
Make it important: Be accountable! Work on dismissing the negative voice from creeping in. Firmly say, I can. Why let fear be a deterrent? Kindle the fire, cultivate your life. Intention is the driver; dedication and belief, the fuel.
Required action: Strive, accomplish, then thrive. Why just get through each day? Life is short, living it with gusto, not apathy, aids the progress. Promise to never be mediocre – aim for the stars! Abracadabra: Make that your final decision!
Think about this: Challenge delivers growth and confidence.
