Did You Resolve to Improve Your Health In '11
"When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no 'I'll start tomorrow.' Tomorrow is disease." We have a choice. We can either make time for exercise and healthy eating today, OR we may be forced to make time for disease and sickness later in life. It's the start of a new year. This IS our tomorrow. Promise yourself you will exercise and eat right today. Then do the same for all your tomorrows. Your present you and your future you will thank you!

Somebody's Excuse or Reason
When you are a leader...you're either going to be somebody's excuse for failing or you're going to be somebody's reason for succeeding.

Fear
“The arch enemy of mankind is fear. It is a great day in any person’s life when he recognizes the fact that his success or failure throughout life is largely a matter of control over his emotions!”
“Before one can recognize this truth he must recognize the existence and the nature of his emotions, and the power which is available to control them-a form of recognition which many people never indulge in during their entire lifetime.”
“Here is the greatest of all danger-points of the majority of men! They give up and quit when one more step would have carried them triumphantly to victory.”

Perserverance
Your ship is going to come in. Are you making yourself ready for the arrival?
perseverance: 1)continuing in a course of action without regard to discouragement, opposition or previous failure. 2)persistent determination to adhere to a plan of direction; insistence.
If there is anything more important to your success than perseverance it is defining your "Why." Without a "Why" there is nothing to persevere in. That being said, perseverance is the most important ingredient in your success! Anyone who's ever been successful at anything has had to persevere...overcoming obstacles, discouragement and failure. It is much easier to quit and fall back into our comfort zones than to persevere and achieve our goals. That is why so few people are truly successful at anything. Lack of perseverance destroys our credibility and calls our integrity into question. Many plant the seeds but don't stick around for the harvest. If you are a person of integrity, you are making your self ready for the arrival. Your ship will come in!

Get In The Game!
I found this quote on a Social Media Blog this morning"
"It takes hard work to become successful at what it is you do and become really good at it. Forget the gazillion lines of crap that are fed through the Internet on a daily basis about how "easy" it is to do this or do that. Building a business takes hard work. If you're not willing to work hard to reach your goals, do yourself a favor and get back to working for someone else."
I'm amazed at the number of people who fall for the idea that you can make a lot of money virtually doing "nothing" to become wealthy. In my business most of the hard work actually doesn't take a lot of time "hour" wise. Most of the hard work is working on yourself to become a better you through personal development. This can be accomplished by simply turning off talk radio or your favorite music station and listening to audios of successful people while driving to and from work or the grocery store. I'm not advocating totally eliminating listening to the radio. I'm just recommending setting a goal to listen to one audio a day, for example, then after achieving the goal you can turn on the radio to reward yourself.
The same applies to reading books written by successful people such as biographies, auto-biographies, and other personal development books. You can read during your breaks and lunch time at work, while in the bathroom or before bed at night. If you haven't been reading, set a goal to read one page a day and increase the number of pages per day from there. You should also try to surround yourself with people who will support and encourage you towards your goals. Stay away from critics and people with negative attitudes. Lastly, take action. Do something every day that will move you one step closer to your goal. I often see people spend a lot of time thinking about this step and they actually feel like they are investing a lot of time in their business when they are actually not physically doing so...a wish'in and a hope'in!

What Is Leadership?
Leadership is the ability to lead others where they don't want to go (because of fear) to help them get what they really want. Leaders have vision...they see what others can't see. They see defeat as temporary, get up and try again. They're willing to fail their way to success. Leaders feel fear, but act in spite of it because they have faith. It takes courage and tenacity to become a leader. You risk having your intentions misunderstood when reaching out to help others but you do it anyway. Leadership is being unselfish and putting others first.
Don't let the economic circumstances of this recession (depression) cause you to freeze in your tracks like a deer caught in the head lights. There is a lot of opportunity out there...you just need to take your eyes off of your problems long enough to see them.
Realize that the game has changed. There are four things a person can choose to do. One, sit home, play it safe and wait for things to go back the way they were (that is just not going to happen). These people will always wonder what happened! Two, you can go to the game, sit in the stands and watch it happen! Three, you can team up and cautiously sit on the sidelines, wait (until everything is perfect) to get in the game. Four, you can team up, get in the game, leave it all on the field and reap the rewards for having the courage to play the game and fight the fight! The question is, which will you choose?

Everyone needs to read this book! It is a quick read and a "must.""On Thursday, September 15, 2008, the U.S. economy had a heart attack... September 15, 2008, was a wakeup call. The economy is still in intensive care, but the patient is responding to treatment. Now it's time to talk about making changes that will make us stronger. That's what Section 2 and Section 3 are about--think of these chapters as a personal recovery program that will explain how you, along with thousands of other Americans, can survive this recession and come back stronger than ever."
