As we round out the year, we often see the “New Year, new me” posts. Setting goals is important but creating habits is where the change takes place. Start the year off by reading Atomic Habits by James Clear.

A few thoughts from Atomic Habits as we start the new year:

Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are.

-The goal is not to read a book, the goal is to become a reader.

-The goal is not to run a marathon, the goal is to become a runner.

-The goal is not to learn an instrument, the goal is to become a musician.

This year, focus on the identity you want to build.

Good morning my friends!

All too often we look at our past and see all we have done wrong. We see our mistakes and dwell on them in fear of making the same mistake again. And then we have people in our lives who also won’t let us forget about what we had done. Always reminding us about ALL of the things we did wrong in our lives.

It is important to remember our mistakes. It’s a reminder of what not to do. Sometimes it’s hard to not dwell on those but it’s far more important to focus on the future. Look at a mistake differently. Look at it as a tool to help you move forward. A building block for personal growth.

It’s easy to become distracted. Start to lose your focus. This is why it is so important to have actual written goals. Something to physically touch or look at to keep your focus. I found a great book called Atomic Habits. It helps to create and develop your lifestyle to push towards your goals.

Where do you see yourself now? Where do you want to be? What are you doing obtain your goals?

Create goals for yourself. Focus on your future. Remember the past. Always strive for more. Find ways to motivate yourself.

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!

Good morning my friends!

No one was born to be a failure!

We all have a purpose in life. Something we are good at. Most would call it a gift. For a lot of people, that gift tends to be a hobby.

The reason why people don’t pursue their hobby for a living is because they don’t want to get “burned out” by doing that everyday. They feel if what they loved to do for fun was what they did for a living that it would no longer be fun. I think it’s because they don’t know how to make a living by doing that.

All successful people at some point in their life decided to take a leap of faith, go all in, and pursue their dreams. They took the risk because they knew if they didn’t, they would never know.

Scared of failing. Scared because of the uncertainty. There are many things that freak us out. Do you want to live your entire life, just to realize that you never lived at all? You never took the chance, never found your purpose, never lived your dream?

Falling down is part of the process. No one is perfect. There will be bumps along the way. How you handle those, determines your success. When things get rough, do you run away or do you dig your feet in, stand strong and weather through?

If it’s truly your dream, why would you give up on it? If you have a boss, you are working and building their dream. Ask them how hard it was in the beginning. Ask them how many times they wanted to give up. More importantly, ask them why they didn’t. What was their drive to become successful??

The one thing I can promise you, when you believe in your dream and your vision, it begins to attract its own resources.

Remember, Monday’s don’t suck, your job does!

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!

Good morning my friends!

We are all put on this earth with a purpose. Unless we find out what that is, We aren’t truly happy.

Think about it??? Do you really believe that you were put here to work a job that you absolutely hate, for a boss you hate, for a company hate, that will have a help wanted ad posted the same day, IF and WHEN something happens to you???

Our lives and our purpose is to find out what our TALENT is and do THAT! Most get into a job or an industry because they heard how much it pays. They say, “I want to be a nurse because they make really good money!” So they go to school for years to learn to become a nurse. Or someone finds a job as a cook and learns the job well.

Someone whose purpose is to be a cook, painter, mechanic will have a natural ability and be one of the best. They’ll go on to build their own business and be successful. They don’t go work for a few dollars an hour, slaving away, dreading Monday’s, living for Friday, angry at their boss and hating their job.

If that is you, then you haven’t found YOUR purpose.

The quote “if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life” is so true. It’s your passion. It’s your purpose. It’s what you are meant to do therefore you won’t work a day in your life.

Stop living for others. Stop giving up on your dreams to fulfill someone else’s dreams and start living with purpose. Do what YOU were meant to do!

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!

Good morning my friends!

There are days when we don't even feel like getting out of bed. Don't feel like doing anything and then when we spend the entire day not doing anything, we feel like garbage. We get a sense of failure and almost a depressed feeling.

It takes a little bit of self-discipline. Even when we don't feel like it we HAVE to force ourselves to do it. If you wait until you "feel" like doing it, it will never happen.You have to find motivation. Period.

None of us can afford to have a life that is controlled by someone else or a life that is controlled by emotions.

There are 2 kinds of people. There is one that says I'm going to wait until I feel like it before I do it and then there is the person that says I've got to do it so that I feel like it. One will never get anything accomplished because they are constantly waiting to "feel" the moment while the other says I need to moved then I will begin to feel the moment.

Self-discipline is essential in your life if you're going to get anything done.

I want to challenge everyone as we head towards the weekend. Ask yourself, am I practicing self-discipline in my life? Am I doing the things I should because I need to do them or am I waiting to feel the moment?

Nothing works unless you work! Nothing changes unless you change!

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!

Good morning my friends!

The choices we make today shape our tomorrow. A lot of times we make those choices blindly. Never really thinking about what it will do for our future.

Goal planning is what makes successful people, successful. They plan their moves. Like a chess game. They look, they anticipate and they execute.

They know that their choices today have an affect on what happens tomorrow. They have created habits that help push them toward the end goal. Habits are what truly sets everyone apart.

We create habits all the time. Good or bad. From our morning routine to fitness to eating healthy. Everything becomes a habit.

One of the best things about habits is that they can be changed. They can be altered. We can adapt from others and they can from us.

One habit that most people don’t necessarily think about, are money habits. What you do today plays a huge roll on where you will be tomorrow. Smart choices make for an easier life.

Financial security isn’t about what it can do for you right now. It’s about the long term. Your financial choices are taught to your children which is taught to their children. If those choices are are bad, then you are not teaching the right way. It’s not about how big your bank account is, but teaching your children.

Your tomorrow, begins today. Teach your children well.

It’s hard being financially secure. It’s hard being broke. Choose your hard!

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Shake a hand, meet a friend. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!

If you’re reading this, congratulations! You were blessed with another beautiful day!

What happened yesterday is in the past. You cannot change it. Let go and move on. The only thing you have is right now.

You can’t change what has already happened so why do you want to let it continue to control your mood and your mind? If all you have is the present and what you do now dictates your future, why let something that is unchangeable shape your future? What has been done should be a lesson learned. Not a regret. Mistakes are made and lessons learned.

Letting go is never easy. Sometimes we fear letting go because we are looking for answers. Answers to questions that we won't ever know. That is where our worry comes from. We worry about what went wrong or what we did wrong. Worry about whether or not we can fix it or change.

Live for the now and work for your future. Worry, fear, self doubt... these are all things that rob you of your days. You’re not guaranteed any future. I think too many take that for granted. You’re not guaranteed tomorrow. You’re not guaranteed to see the sun set today. Be here now.

Be here now for yourself, your spouse, your partner, your children. Quit putting things off thinking you’ll get to it somewhere down the road.

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Shake a hand, meet a friend. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!

Good morning my friends!

There is so much negativity in the world. It's all over the news, all over social media. It's the easiest thing to talk about.

If you have a great experience with a restaurant or local business, chances of you writing any review is slim. We have a lot of great experiences daily, but to write about ALL of the good ones would take up way too much time!! So every time we have a bad experience, we make it known that we are telling EVERYONE we know to NEVER visit this place!!

Your bad experience is more than likely a fluke. Do you really think that if a restaurant gave every single person the same bad experience that you received, that it would remain in business very long? Probably not. But its more fun to trash talk than it is to praise a restaurant for "doing what they are supposed to do".

I have bad experiences at places. I have bad experiences at restaurants. I’m also very understanding. I know that’s it not something that I did and I also know that getting upset over it is not going to solve the problem. Most places will do whatever it takes to satisfy the customer because they want them to return.

A positive mindset goes a long way. It’s seeing the good in bad situations. It’s understanding that not everything is always perfect.

Start every day with a positive attitude. Don’t let someone or something to ruin your entire day. If you have an argument with someone, move past it and don’t let it consume your mind for rest of the day. Stress less.

Let go of your stresses. Free your mind of negativity. In a video I shared yesterday, it talked about the mind. It talked about how the brain controls what the body needs. How positive and happy thoughts release hormones that compliment your thoughts like oxytocin, dopamine and growth hormones.

Your mind controls your outcome. Start your day with positive thoughts.

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Shake a hand, meet a friend. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!

Good morning my friends!

Eliminating distractions in life can be a daunting task. Find yourself watching too much TV and procrastinating on home projects or working from home but Tiger King just released a new episode? Try this… Every time you turn your TV off, unplug it. This way you have to plug it in to watch it. You can also remove the batteries from the remote that way you have to reinsert batteries AND plug in the TV just to watch it. Small tasks like that make the distraction a lot less appealing.

We can do this for just about every aspect in our life. Correction, we NEED to do things like this! Our phones are a huge distraction. How many times do you find yourself looking at your screen just because you’re bored? Or your watching TV and messing around on social media? Scrolling through Facebook, TikTok, Instagram… None of these things help you grow.

There are people in your life, there are “things” in your life that play no part in dreams. They are here for the moment and not the future. They don’t help build you as a person. It’s important to see the value that people bring to your life but it’s also important to see and if they value you the same way you value them.

If you want to start a healthier lifestyle or want to be a better person in general, meet financial goal and dreams, the first thing you would do is surround yourself with others that have the same dream or vision. If it doesn’t help you grow or it doesn’t fit in your life and the direction you are going, get rid of it! That include people, places and things. Let nothing hold you back. Let no one hold you back. If they don’t lift you up, encourage you and push you to accomplish great things, I would say it’s time to let go.

Find a place you can go to clear your mind. Do a little self evaluation or life evaluation. Look at where you are and where you want to be. What is stopping you from reaching the top? What distractions are keeping yo from your goals? What can you eliminate that will help you become the best version of you?

It’s a beautiful, snowy spring day! Amazing things are happening! Are you missing out??

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Shake a hand, meet a friend. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!

Good morning my friends!

Sometimes those that have been through the worst have the hardest time realizing that they are strong enough. Period.

It takes a lot of positive reinforcement for anyone to start gaining even small amounts of confidence back. This is why it is so important that we treat each other the same way we want to be treated.

It is difficult getting to a point where you can start to speak positive about yourself. Start by listening to some daily affirmations. Hear them and let them sink into your subconscious mind. You will slowly build up the confidence and speak them to yourself. Do this daily!!

My thoughts become my reality.

I am free of worry and regret.

I love myself.

I am proud of myself.

I am becoming more confident everyday.

I am doing my best.

I am worthy.

I am brave, bold and beautiful.

I am in love with myself and my body.

I chose to be happy and to live myself today.

Today is going to be a great day.

I am talented and intelligent.

My possibilities are endless.

I will be kind to myself and others.

I am grateful for all that I have.

Positive daily affirmations will change your life. They will change who you are and how you see yourself. Don’t just speak them, believe them. Let’s take more time building each other up instead of tearing each other down.

“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”

- Zig Ziglar

Have a great day! And as always....

Love each other. Speak kindly to each other. Smile. Shake a hand, meet a friend. Hugs are free and ALWAYS be excellent to each other!
