Working on YOUR Plan?
“If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.” Jim Rohn
Have YOU designed your life or are you working on someone else's plan? It might have been your parent's plan, your partner's plan, your teacher's plan, but it's not your plan. Take the time right now to analyze where you are going and if that's where you really want to go. Go ahead...I'll wait.
OK, good. Now, if you are working on YOUR plan, congratulations. If not, well then START RIGHT NOW working on your plan. "It is never too late to be who you might have been." The world doesn't benefit by you working on someone else's plan, only when you are working on your plan, does the world get to experience the gifts and talents that you have.
Plan BIG. Think BIG. Do BIG! If you are going to plan, think and do, you might was well do it as big as you possibly can, right? Tell me your big plans, so we can help each other make them happen!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Reconnect With What Makes You Happy
"Life without dreams is no life at all. When our existence gets reduced to a list of problems to solve or things to check off, passion dries up. Imagine a different list, one comprised of projects and activities that are the expression of your heart and soul. Reconnect to what makes you happy. Do you know what that is?" ~Marcia Wieder
Do YOU have a life? A life of dreams to be pursued and attained? Has your passion for life dried up because of your list of things to be done, checked off, finished? Has your passion for life dried up because of WORK?
This weekend, reconnect with what makes you happy. What gets you going, what really excites you. It's ok to let your list go for a day, those problems and challenges will still be there when you get back to them. But for right now, let them go...and have fun today! It's ok. Sometimes we feel like we need to ask for permission to have fun... well, I give you permission to have fun. TODAY!
Create a new list, a list with all the things that you REALLY want to do. Work equally on both lists, but for today, concentrate on your new list, the one with all the things that you really want to do. Maybe it's your "Bucket List."
Reconnect with what makes you happy. Do you know what that is? Find out if you don't know and then just do it. We were created to live a life of abundance and joy and if you are missing these things, then you are cheating yourself. Remember, I gave you permission!

Double Your Rate of Failure
“Would you like me to give you a formula for... success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all... you can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side.”~Thomas J. Watson
Double your failure rate!!! I bet you never heard that from a teacher. We have been taught that failure is BAD, WRONG, it means you are STUPID. We've been taught wrong. We need to be free to fail, not have all these labels if we don't get it right the first time. We've been taught that failure is the enemy, but it isn't.
So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side of failure...Make all you can, another thing teachers never told us. I wonder why??
Personally, I don't believe in failure, it just doesn't exist. We don't fail, we just get results. They may not be the results that we are looking for, but they are results or feedback...not failure. If we don't get the results that we want, just start over and work until you get the results you want. Failure never enters into the equation!

Your Brightest Future Awaits
“The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.”
Have you let go of the past failures and heartaches or are you still carrying them with you? Your brightest future will not come to you until you let them go. Let them go now, today, why wait another day?
Here's the thing. You have learned from those failures and heartaches. Take the lessons and leave the rest. Leave the pain. Leave the blaming. Leave everything but the lesson you learned. The reason that you haven't let them go yet is that you are getting some benefit out of holding on to them. You need to realize that greater benefits are waiting for you the minute you leave those failures and heartaches behind.
Do you believe in a brighter future or are you stuck in blah land? There is a brighter future for all of us, we only have to embrace it and leave those failures and heartaches behind. NOW.

The Price of Fear of Failure
“We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling.” ~John Gardner
What is the price that YOU have paid for fear of failure? We all have paid something for that and we either learned from it or we have let it keep us from doing what we really wanted to do. Have you remained stuck because of fear? How is it holding you back? What is it keeping you from doing today?
This fear assures the progressive narrowing of your personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. Is your personality narrowing? Think about that...how has your personality grown or narrowed lately? This fear also prevents exploration and experimentation. When was the last time that you went exploring? When was the last time that you experimented with your life? Never? Once, when you were a kid? Or regularly?
There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. Somehow, we in America have been sold a bill of goods that life should be easy and without difficulty. Are you really believing that? If you are planning on learning, plan on difficulty. That's life, get used to it. Quit whining and complaining that something isn't fair and get out there and make things happen. Learn something. Teach something. Make something.
