“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.” ~Abraham Lincoln
Albert Einstein said that "you can't solve a problem at the same level of thinking that it was created at." You need to "think anew and act anew." Take a look at Lincolns quote...it's almost as if he was talking about today!!
"The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion." Sound or feel familiar? Are you having difficulty in these times? Are you rising to meet the occasion? Or are you just "doing the best you can?"
"Think anew." When was the last time that you thought anew? Most people haven't had a new or original thought in years. Break out of your comfort zone and THINK NEW THOUGHTS!!! Growth only happens when you leave your comfort zone.
"Think Anew." Ask for the "Reflect Back & Plan Forward" worksheet. I'll be glad to send you one if you email me at david@mentoringyoursuccess.com or text me your email address at 602-577-2624.

Possibilities
"There are always plenty of possibilities, with new ones being born every moment. On a regular basis, pick a new possibility and explore it fully.

Did You Begin 2014 With "This End" In Mind?
“Begin with the end in mind’ is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There’s a mental or first creation and a physical or second creation to all things.” ~Stephen Covey

Appreciate Today - And Every Day
“Appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic good of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder and even excitement, however stale these experiences may have become to others.”~Abraham Maslow
Do you appreciate the basic good of life? With awe, pleasure and wonder? Really, or are you more caught up in the day-to-day life that only allows you to see the challenges? In our 'microwave society' it seems to always be about the next thing that we have to have or our life won't be complete with out...
Paul Coelho said "You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle." Are you paying attention to the daily miracle in front of you? Do you see it? It might be a new flower, a new friend, a new opportunity to serve others...
Realize that good is present in your life right now and more will be added to you. We have become a society of whiners, complainers and generally grumpy people because we don't see everything as a miracle.

Personal Development Precedes Business Development
“If you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.” ~Mr. Shoaf (Jim Rohn’s mentor)
Are you working harder on yourself than your job? Really? How are you doing that?
We all try to work hard at our jobs, but how much time do we really spend working on improving OURSELVES? Sure you might go to the gym, run, exercise and eat right, but how much time are you spending on improving YOUR MIND? Are you learning new words to expand your vocabulary? Are you learning new and better ways to make decisions? Are you learning new things? Maybe a new language, studying about history of The United States, not the history you were taught in government schools...
Personal Development precedes Business Development, so if you are struggling in your business, or just stuck, get back to working on yourself! You cannot improve your business without first improving you.
Every little bit of time we work on improving ourselves gets paid back with compounded interest, so spend a little time working on YOU. And then, start spending more time working on YOU. You will be surprised and happy about the results...

Are Your Thoughts Your Thoughts?
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”~ Oscar Wilde
Are you you? Or are you what someone else wanted you to be? Maybe your parents, teachers, peers? Did you do stuff to please other people or did you do stuff that you wanted to do? Who are you? Think about it for a while and then try to decide if you are being authentic or you're being what others want you to be.
Are your thoughts someone else's opinions or are they yours? Have you washed other people's opinion through your brain and come up with what you believe or are you just living a mimicry? You can believe what other's tell you, but be sure to run it through your own analyzer (brain) and make sure that you can say, "yes, I believe that too." Because you thought about it, not because someone else said it.
Quotations are a passion of mine, but my passion isn't a quotation. There's a mind-bender...figure it out yet? Is your passion just a quotation or is it real, vivid, alive, driving you forward?
Like we talked about yesterday, passion is the wind that drives your sail and nothing great was ever done without passion.
One way to find you passion is to fill out the "Reflect Back and Plan Forward" worksheet. If you would like one, send an email to david@mentoringyoursuccess.com or text your email to 602-577-2624 and I will send it to you.

Do You Have Clarity Of Mind?
“Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves." ~Blaise Pascal
Do you have clarity of mind? Really? Most people don't and that is their biggest challenge to getting the things they want. They aren't clear on what they really want. They say I want this or I want that and never become CRYSTAL CLEAR on what it is that they truly want. Most people say that "they want to be rich." What does that mean?? That's not crystal clear, that's feel good mumbo jumbo. A lot of business owners say "I want to do better than last year." By how much? Even making $1 more would be "better than last year." Take some time right now and think if you are Crystal Clear on what you want, because without it, you're just wasting your time.
Do you have clarity of passion? If you don't have clarity of the mind, you can't have clarity of passion. You can have passion but if it isn't clear, it isn't as white hot as it can be. Most people have some passion and they may even say it's real strong passion but imagine your passion 10 times stronger, 20 times stronger. That is what will happen when you have clarity of passion.
Work on having Clarity of Mind and Clarity of Passion today and let me know how it went and how different you felt.

Are You Investing In Your Future?
"Every 15 minutes invested in your future is a deposit that will grow and compound over time. It may not seem like a big deal now -- whether you spend that time surfing the Internet or updating your Rolodex -- but in the long run, it will make all the difference in the world." ~Michael Masterson
We are all busy. We all have multiple responsibilities. But success is a result of your behavior. And the way you act when you have spare time is a crucial part of it.
Are you even investing 15 minutes a day in your future? Why not? It will grow and compound over time, but you have to start somewhere. Start with 15 minutes, start with 10 minutes, even 5 minutes but start investing something in your future.
Here's an idea that will double your business in 6 months. Spend 30 minutes every day working ON your business before you work IN your business. Spend the time thinking, seeing what works, what doesn't, what could work, what won't work. Every day THINK about your business and how you can improve it, change it and grow it.
The hardest part is simply starting, so just do it. What are you waiting for? Your future to come to you? It's not going to happen. Create your future. You can start with 5 minutes a day.
Here's another idea that will double your business in 6 months. Join us TODAY at the "Goal GETTING & Goal Setting" workshop. There are still a few seats left and you will learn how to GET your goals!

Are You A Creature Of The Commonplace?
“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” ~Sir Cecil Beaton
Are you daring? Different? Impractical? What sets you apart from everybody else? Really? Do you have an imaginative vision of what is ahead for you or are you just trucking on down the road, without a thought of what's ahead?
A slave to the ordinary...is that you? Are you a creature of the commonplace? It's real easy to get into a rut of the ordinary. You know what the definition of a rut is? It is a coffin with the ends kicked out, that's what a rut is. Think about that as you go about your day, the same way, day after day after day.
Wilfred Peterson said "Big Thinking precedes great achievement." You will never make a difference being ordinary or thinking ordinary. You won't be known for being a creature of the commonplace if you think BIG!
How can you step out of the ordinary, out of the commonplace? It's different for each individual and you need to seek it out for yourself. I challenge you as this new year is getting started to step out of the ordinary, to be different, to be daring. I challenge you to stop being a "play-it-safer" kind of person. Become a BIG thinker.
Your Partner in Thinking.

Do You Settle For The Ordinary?
"Everything you want is outside your Comfort Zone. If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will settle for the ordinary."
Now, unless you are happy with where you are, you do realize that "Everything you want is OUTSIDE of your Comfort Zone, right? You can't continue doing the same things and expect different results. Where you are now has been based on your current thinking, but your current thinking will not be able to lift you out of this spot. You need new thinking...that's right NEW thinking, or at least different thinking to help you get what you want. Getting out of your Comfort Zone is not always easy and sometimes it's even irritating, but you have to do it if you are going to get what you want.
We really shouldn't call it a Comfort Zone because there is no comfort there. It's more of aFamiliar Zone, becasuse we have become familiar with the pain and the pain we know is always less scary than the pain we don't know.
"If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will settle for the ordinary." Are you willing to risk the unusual or are you too deeply ingrained in your Comfort/Familiar Zone that you can't? Have you settled for the ordinary when you could have had the extraordinary?
Reminds me of another of my favorite quotes and that is "The space for what you want is currently occupied by what you have settled for." This doesn't just mean material things, but relationships, jobs and thoughts. What have you realized now that you've settled for? Can you change that? Do you even want to change it or do you want to continue in your Comfort/Familiar Zone and ordinary?

GET REAL!!
"Children respond when you are genuine and vulnerable with them. So do adults. Let's cut out the pretentious nonsense and get real in everything we do."~Tom Asacker
Are you ready to cut out the "pretentious nonsense?" Really? What role have you been playing so long that you don't even recognize that it is a role and not who you really are? Start getting real in everything that you do. How would that change your life?
People respond to genuineness and vulnerability. Can you show these qualities or are you too trained never to show emotion, either good or bad? Especially in business. That used to be me. I was a stoic and never realized that I was unable to show emotion or vulnerability. I've been remembering who I was when I was me. Not that genuine stoic who I trained myself to be, but being able to be both genuine and vulnerable...and it FEELS good and bad, but it FEELS. I haven't had feelings like these for a long time.
Jonathan Swift said "May you live all the days of your life." I know that I haven't always done that. I've played a part, but not lived, not really. Is that you too? Have you lived all the days of your life or have you just mailed some in? Maybe you just didn't want to live that day. Never allow that to happen to you. You lose too much not LIVING all the days of your life!
Learn from my example. It doesn't pay to be ungenuine or unvulnerable. It's just not worth it in the long run.

Your Doubts Are Traitors
"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." ~William Shakespeare
Do your doubts stop you from doing things? Why? What hold over you do those doubts have?
We all fear some things but our doubts shouldn't be one of those things. Heights, snakes, going too fast, these are some things to fear but not our doubts. Why you ask? Because our doubts are just stories that we tell ourselves, not that there is any truth to them, but stories that we believe.
What stories are you telling yourself that are holding you back?
Don't ever not do something because of a fear of failure. Why? Because you will fail your way to success. It's the only way anyone succeeds. They fail their way to success. Think about it. That "overnight sensation" band that has played every scum bag bar in town for 10 years finally makes it big.
Historically, predators from the T-Rex to today have only been successful in 1 out of 10 hunts. Yet they keep trying, why? Because survival dictates that they do. The same goes for me and you.
Don't let your doubts keep you from the good you might do.

Do You Know Where You Are Going?
"Some self-confronting questions: 'Where do I want to be at any given time? What do I have to do to get myself from where I am to where I want to be? What's the first, small step I can take to get moving?' "~ George A. Ford
If you ask these questions of yourself, they can be intimidating, scary and challenging. Here's part of the key in answering them...you must have total clarity of what you want and where you want to be. See, must of us have a general idea of what we want, but not a crystal-clear vision of what we want. “If you are clear about what you want, the world responds with clarity."
Decide right now what you want. Get crystal clear about it. If you have fuzzy thinking about what you want, that's what you are going to get. Fuzzy stuff.
"What do I have to do to get myself from where I am to where I want to be?" Ask and ANSWER that question now. Oh, you can think about it, but until you seriously ask yourself that question, you will never be able to get to where you want to be. It takes steps. Figure out what steps you need to take to get you started towards where you want to be. You don't have to see the whole path, just get started.
The difference between where you are now and where you want to be is called "the gap." How big is your "gap?" For some people it's huge...and that stops them. For others, it's not that big...and that stops them. The key to bridging "the gap" is to take action! TAKE ACTION!!!
George Bernard Shaw said "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." Start creating the life that you want, NOW. Remember, it's your choice, no one elses. Stop looking and start creating. It all starts with your thoughts!

Focus: What Are You Emphasizing?
"The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same." ~Carlos Castaneda
What are you emphasizing? Are you spending your time on things that matter or things that don't matter? Most people start out working on the things that matter and then are distracted and end up emphasizing the wrong stuff. Then we end up miserable because we don't understand that we are concentrating on things that don't matter. What is it that you are emphasizing?
Susyn Reeve said "When you focus your attention on the people, places, things and activities that you bring you pleasure - pleasure is what you experience." This is part of the reason that we need to doing something that gives us pleasure for our jobs. 75% of workers today HATE their jobs! Is that you? I hope not, because it is a choice. Your choice!
Do you believe in the Law of Attraction? It works every time. The challenge for most people is that their focus is on the wrong thing. They are focusing on what they don't want instead of what they do want. Is that you? Start focusing on what you want and you will see the difference, Another way to stay focused is to set goals that keep you focused. If that s something that you have tried before with little success join us on December 18th at the workshop "Goal Getting & Goal Setting; Creating the Business & Life You Want."

The Time Will Never Be "Just Right"
"Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along." ~Napoleon Hill
Are you waiting? If you are, what are you waiting for? Why? "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life! But there was always some obstacle, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business." Are you dealing with the obstacles and not allowing life to begin? It's real easy for us to do and we get caught up in dealing with things that before you know it, another year has passed.
Start now with whatever you have. Stop waiting for whatever you think you need and just do it. NOW! As Goethe said there is boldness in beginning!

Be bold and begin attending workshops and seminars. Other people know things you don't and if you are open to learning (which most people say they are, but really aren't) you can learn from anyone. Even me!
You can also join us Thursday December 18th at the workshop "Goal Getting & Goal Setting; Create Your Success Plan For 2015." You will learn how to Create Your Success and stop your limitations.

What Thoughts Are We Admitting & Entertaining?
"If we are not responsible for the thoughts that pass our doors, we are at least responsible for those we admit and entertain." ~Charles Newcomb
We cannot control thoughts that just pop into our mind. We can control those thoughts to decide if they are of value and allow them to stay in our minds. The challenge is that it takes discipline to make sure that we only allow the thoughts that will benefit us and block out those that can be negative for us. Metacognition = Thinking about what we think about. It's challenging but you can do it. You just need to practice your thinking. When was the last time you practiced your thinking...thought so.
Henry James said "Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." This is so true. Realize that the better you get at thinking, the better things will go for you. But it just doesn't happen, you need to work at it. Daily.
Another way to get better at thinking is to attend workshops and seminars. Other people know things you don't and if you are open to learning (which most people say they are, but really aren't) you can learn from anyone. Even me!

Your Success Will Be Based On Your Expectations
“Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.”~Denis Waitley
What are your expectations? Or better yet, what are your intentions? Have you ever thought of them seriously or are they something you think about in passing? Unfortunately, most people just think about them in passing. What would happen to your life and business if you always had great expectations and intentions?
What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.” And the universe bring about. We've all heard about "what we resist, persists." And we also know that what we focus on we bring about. So, wouldn't it make sense to start having great expectations and intentions? People say, 'don't have high expectations, you will only be disappointed.' So what of that? Have you never dealt with disappointment before? It's not fun, but it's part of life.
Don't let your limitations be part of your expectations! You can create your expectations without limitations. Do it NOW! You can also join us Thursday December 18th at the workshop "Goal Getting & Goal Setting; Create Your Success Plan For 2015." You will learn how to Create Your Success and stop your limitations.

Are You Selling Yourself Short?
"The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short." ~Abraham Maslow
I see this every day. People dragging themselves to jobs they hate because they sell themselves short as to what they really could do. They are stuck in life and afraid to break out. They sell themselves short as to what they could do or accomplish if they only decided to. How many people do you know that are selling themselves short...way too many!
Dr. Seuss said “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” Don't ever let anyone make you believe that you cannot do anything you want to. You can steer yourself in any direction YOU CHOOSE! It's YOUR choice, no one elses.
Stop selling yourself short...NOW!

Do You Allow Others To Define You?
"Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” ~Anne Frank
YES. Inside you, right now is good news. You don't realize how great you can be, what you can accomplish, what your potential is! You are the Undiscovered Country! Don't fear it, find it! Create it! Be it! The only thing holding your greatness back is YOU. Do you realize that? Sure you say, but I've got to do this and that, the economy sucks and the boss hates me. SO WHAT? You are the one in charge of you, no one else is. You get to decide what to do and who to become, only you!
Marjorie Brody said "Never allow others to define your potential." Too many of us have allowed others to define our potential...our teachers, parents, friends, whoever. Don't let them, only you can define your potential and what you can become. And it's never too late to become who you were meant to be. So start right now!

Have You Desinged Your Life?
"The reason why most people face the future with apprehension instead of anticipation is because they don’t have it well designed." ~Jim Rohn
Are you facing the future with apprehension? It could be because you haven't really been specific in the design of your life. You might have an idea of where you want to go but without specifics, you end up sidetracked and going down the wrong roads, chasing the wrong things.
It's important to realize that we get to choose the design of our life, no one else does. And even if they have a plan for you, it's not much of a plan.
Jim Rohn also said "If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much." It will always be that way. You have to choose what you want and then go after it.
Look to the future with anticipation and design your own life plan. If you don't know how, join Thursday December 18th and learn how to Create Your Success Plan for 2015 at the "Goal Getting and Goal Setting" workshop, you can find out information here:https://www.facebook.com/events/375588015899673/
