Impose Your Own Terms On Life

"If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you." ~T.S. Eliot

Wow...how many people are going through life simply accepting what life offers them??? I know a lot of people that are stuck in that place. It's a real shame, because our life is what WE MAKE OF IT, not what is presented to us.

So, what's a person to do? Gain or create the personal strength to impose your own terms on life! I know, I can hear you now..."But David, the economy, my 401 now 201k, all this stuff that's happening to me." Do you hear the excuses? It's not the stuff that happens to us...it's how we deal with the stuff that happens to us. WE are in control of our responses. Be in control of your responses and forget about reactions.

Realize TODAY, that you are in control of everything that happens to you. You can react or respond to those things. Work on RESPONDING rather than reacting. And impose your terms on life!

Do You Believe In Yourself?

"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success." ~Norman Vincent Peale

Do you believe in yourself? Really?? Not just the normal "I believe in myself," but the real "I BELIEVE IN MYSELF!!!" Take a look deep inside your mind and heart and ask yourself the question again...Do you believe in yourself?  See, you can believe in yourself in your conscious mind however do you really believe yourself in your subconscious mind?  Remember that your subconscious mind runs about 96% of what you do each day.

Most people pay lip service to believing in themselves, but when you examine them down deep, there is fear and loathing, not belief! If this is you, it's never to late to start over with your beliefs. It's never too late to be who you were meant to be! Start right now, examine your beliefs and work towards the goals that they line up with!

Challenge your unbelief. Challenge your beliefs to see how strong they are. Build on that strength so that your belief is unassailable!!!

To Dream Anything

"To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits, that is the courage to succeed."~Bernard Edmonds

What are your DREAMS? Are you following after them or are you stuck? Most people have great dreams...but aren't doing anything to get them other than wish for them. Why? What story are you telling yourself that is keeping you from making it happen?

How strong is your WILL? Can you do ANYTHING you want to? Really? Why not? What is the story that you are telling yourself as to why you can't? The strength of your will will determine whether or not you achieve your dreams.

Do you TRUST yourself? Test your limits? The fear isn't that we are inadequate, the fear is that we are powerful beyond measure and will not know how to deal with it. Most people have just enough trust in themselves that they know that they aren't where they ought to be, but not enough TRUST to step out of where they are and become who they were meant to be.  

Do you have enough TRUST to create marketing that attracts businesses that need what you have?  Join us Friday at the "Are You Tired of Chasing Customers?"  https://www.facebook.com/events/1557788821169718

There's No Safety In Your Comfort Zone

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."~Charles Darwin  

How responsive are you to change? REALLY? Or are you just saying that you are responsive to change? Most people are afraid to step out of their comfort zones and make changes. They like to stay "safe" in their little area and not venture out. Here's the sad thing about them; they are not safe, they just think that they are safe.  

Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher said "The only thing that is constant is change."  In the book Changing for Good, authors James Prochaska, PH.D., John Norcross, PH.D., and Carlo DiClemente, PH.D. detail a six-step program for making purposeful change in your life. What makes this book unique is that, rather than telling you their theory on how to make a change, the authors studied people who had successfully made changes in their lives.

Think about this, Richard Bach said “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." What would happen if the caterpillar didn't make his cocoon because he was scared? Or if once he made it, he didn't want to come out of it. It's safe, warm and a great place to be. Well then, why are you still stuck in your cocoon? What's stopping you from breaking out and becoming that beautiful butterfly?

Stop relying on your strength or intelligence and really be responsive to change. Change will create exactly what you want. Step out of your cocoon or comfort zone and become what you were meant to become.

Use Your Signature Strengths

“I do not believe that you should devote overly much effort to correcting your weaknesses. Rather, I believe that the highest success in living and the deepest emotional satisfaction comes from building and using your signature strengths.”
~Martin Seligman


Are you devoting too much time to your weaknesses as opposed to building up your signature strengths? It is a problem that most of us have, wanting to improve where we are not strong, when we should be improving our strengths! What are your strengths and what are your weaknesses? I bet you could tell me your weaknesses before you could tell me your strengths!

I was in a Mastermind group and we took a test that measured our strengths and weaknesses, but listed only the top 5 strengths. The funny thing was that a few people wanted to see what their weaknesses were...almost to confirm that, "ya, those are my weaknesses." Like it was something to be proud of...WRONG!! They were proud of the fact that they were working so hard on their weaknesses...but they had it backwards.

Your deepest emotional satisfaction comes from building and using your signature strengths.

It All Depends On You

“There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself, 'It all depends on me.”~ Andre Gide

Do you believe in your strength? It's so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Your potentialities are so vast that we can't begin to comprehend them. So what do we do with those potentialities? We let them die a slow death...

Imagine if you were to use ALL of your potential. What would that do for you and your business? Imagine if you only used 50% of that potential? You still would be twice as far ahead as you are now. Don't let your potential die a slow death. Don't let your tombstone read "He had such great potential." Wouldn't it be great if when we all die people said "He reached and exceeded his potential."

You can do that.  You just need to always be present.  "Wherever you are, be there."  That will start your brain working on that potential.  Being present means also being aware.  A lot of times we just float through life unaware and we miss opportunities to use our potential.  Stop being unaware!  Believe in your strength! Be present!
