Using Fear To Motivate

Your fears can actually lead you to success. Fear is an intense emotion. But that doesn’t mean it has to control you, or even stop you. Fear can prepare you and push you forward just as strongly as it can hold you back. Fear heightens your awareness and increases your physical strength. Fear brings your mind to sharp focus. With all that going for you, does it make sense to just run and hide? Of course not. Fear can get you into shape to take action!

Take a chance. Have faith in yourself. Your circumstances will improve when you make the effort to improve them. Start where you are right now. You have everything it takes to reach for whatever you desire. Stop wishing. Use your time, your energy, your thoughts and efforts to make it happen.

Self-Imposed Difficulties

The moment we recognize the degree to which our difficulties are self-imposed, we begin to heal them. We end self-sabotage only by taking responsibility for the choices and actions that created it.
Only when we stop blaming our boss or government or parents or partner or children or circumstances or fate or even God can we change our lives and say with conviction, "I chose where I am now, and I can choose something better."

POWER OF THE WORD

SAY ONLY WHAT YOU TRULY MEAN.

AVOID USING THE WORD TO SPEAK AGAINST YOURSELF OR TO GOSSIP ABOUT OTHERS.

USE THE POWER OF YOUR WORD IN THE DIRECTION OF TRUTH AND LOVE.

Happiness Defined

"Happiness is when what you think,

what you say,

and what you do

are in perfect harmony".

Gandhi

Blame

“Concern yourself not with what is right and what is wrong but with what is important.”

Sometimes we get so caught up trying to assign blame to people that we lose track of what really matters. I suspect we do this because it’s a lot easier to make someone else responsible for our feelings than it is to focus on what our feelings are telling us.
Instead of acknowledging we need to find the strength to confront someone, we dwell on the bad decisions they made.

Instead of accepting that we need to make a major change in our professional lives, we get caught up in all the opportunities we didn’t get or all the obstacles we have to face.
Blame absolves us from creating forward momentum because in that moment, what seems relevant is someone else's past decisions, not our choices in the present. But that’s where our power lies: in what we choose to do from moment to moment.

150 Minutes Each Week

How to win the battle of the bulge:

Be sure to get the recommended 150 minutes of exercise each week.

Dreading middle-aged weight gain? Don’t. You can lower your chances of plumping up as you get older by sticking with a consistent exercise program. Young adults who get active and stay active as they move into midlife gain significantly less weight than those who either don’t exercise or exercise inconsistently.

The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, tracked 3,554 men and women between the ages of 18 and 30 for 20 years. The researchers found that, compared with those who exercised infrequently, men who maintained high levels of activity gained almost six fewer pounds over 20 years, while highly active women gained 13.4 fewer pounds over the same time period.

To reduce your chances of weight gain, incorporate 30 minutes of daily exercise into your routine and maintain a high activity level.

YOUR WORD

YOUR WORD IS THE POWER THAT YOU HAVE TO CREATE.

IT IS A GIFT THAT COMES DIRECTLY FROM GOD.
