“Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There's a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything.” ~Harry Browne
What price are you willing to pay to get what you want? Have you asked yourself that question before? What was your answer? See, here's the challenge. We want things to come to us easily and we aren't willing to pay the price for the things we want. That's another reason why we don't get what we want. But as Browne says..."there is a price for everything."
There's even a price for doing nothing. How is that working for you?? Most people assume that there isn't a price for doing nothing, but what is it costing you to stay stuck where you are? How much are you letting go past you because you are doing nothing? Really? Is that what you think??
Action:
Add up all the costs that you are paying for doing nothing and then decide RIGHT NOW what you are willing to pay to make your dreams come true. Commit to be willing to pay the price, whatever it is to create the life you want.

Making A Life
"Losers focus on making a living. Winners focus on making a life." -Larry Winget
Wow, Winget just slaps you in the face with the truth! Are you focused on making a living or making a life?? Are you really?
I think that most of us started out to make a life, but then life got in the way and now we are just focused on making a living. To pay the bills, to take care of things, to take that vacation...When people ask you "how are you doing?" do you answer with "I'm just paying the bills?" If so, that's all you will ever do. You need to change your outlook!
Action:
Get clear on what you want out of life and then go after it. Most people don't get what they want because they aren't clear or don't have any idea what they want. Get clear now!!

Choose Your Attitude
"The most important thing I can tell you about attitude is that it is a choice. You can choose to be positive or you can choose to be negative. Nobody can force you to be either one. You are totally in charge of your attitude." - Larry Winget
Your attitude is completely up to you, you did know that, right? If so, have you ever said that you "got up on the wrong side of the bed?" If you are saying that or "I'm having a bad hair day," you are allowing something else to affect your attitude. You are not in charge of your attitude. We don't often think about the things that we say...
Action:
Own the words you speak! Realize that the way you speak affects your daily life. Choose to have a good attitude. It is one of the things that YOU CAN CONTROL. That and your thoughts!

You've Got To Change
"If you want things to change in your life...YOU'VE got to change!" ~Larry Winget
And you say "DUH." But think about it...how many times have you wished for things to change in your life but you were unwilling or unable to make the change? We know that we want to make changes but are unable to because of the programs that are running our life. Programs that have been running our lives for years and years.
These programs are in our subconscious and we need to realize that they are what is controlling our actions, much more than just what we think. All the right thinking will not change the programs, only re-writing them or writing over them will allow you to make the changes that you desire to make. "Life is change, growth is optional."
Action:
Take a look at the programs that run your life. Are they serving you or are they hurting you. If they are serving you, keep them. If not, get rid of them as quickly as possible.

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 for your future? Are they good, bad, indifferent? Too often in life we just go from event to event without ever thinking about what our expectations are and what they should be.
If our limitations and success are based on our expectations, we better get them right, right away. What are your expectations for today? Will it be a good day? Did you get out of bed on the wrong side, so is it going to be a bad day, or have you not given it any thought at all and are just operating on cruise control?
What are your expectations for the rest of the year? Are you expecting to make it a great year or are you expecting to just get by, because of the economy. I sure hope that you are expecting to have a great year, because then you will have one. By the same token, if you are just hoping to get by, then guess what...that's what you will get.
Action:
Think about your expectations today...Go ahead, take 5 minutes to create them. Good, now go and live them.

Never Desert Your Line of Talent
"Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for and you will succeed." ~Sydney Smith
Have you deserted your line of talent? Or have you just developed a small level of talent in what you do but it's really not what nature intended you to do? Most people feel stuck in jobs that they don't like or enjoy anymore. Is that you? It might be because that job was not what nature had intended for you.
Whatever you are by nature, be that and if you are having a tough time figuring that out, spend some time analyzing what you love to do and why. Your why will tell you what nature had intended you to be.
Action:
Make sure that you don't desert your line of talent. Don't hide it from the world because if you do, the world will never see it because you are the only one who was designed to bring it to the world.
