STAY FOCUSED
Focus! Focus! Focus! You must create a 100% emotional attachment to your goals or as I like to refer to them…your whys. Why do you desire these things? What good will the attainments of your desires do for you and your family, and the world etc? You are required to have a clear vision of yourself achieving all of your goals because only then will your subconscious mind interpret your vision as a tangible. You will have the burning desire to acquire!
Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It always comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.
~ Henry Ford
GOAL SETTING
Goal setting is crucial to your success for several reasons. You are not in a traditional business; you are in the networking/direct sales or other entrepreneurial business. More than likely, it didn’t cost you one million dollars to establish your business; therefore, your life may not be on the line. 
You may not be in “make it or break it” mode. This opportunity may have cost you $500-$5000 to get started. Good numbers as far as commitment goes, but not such big numbers as to wipe you out financially should you not succeed.
Having your goals written down is even more crucial in order for you to stay focused and fired up every single day. You should be emotionally attached to achieving your goals with a burning desire backed with faith. These goals and “burning desires” will equate to your why’s becoming a reality much sooner than you may have thought possible.
Something I have found very beneficial in achieving my goals and keeping me focused for the past dozen years is a dream poster. A dream poster is easy and fun to do, plus it creates a visual form of reinforcement of your “why”. Having a visual creates your new reality! A dream poster is a big white or colored poster board (purchase at the $1 store). You will require a pair of scissors and a stack of magazines. You will cut out words, phrases and pictures that represent the goals and dreams that you have. Cut out both material items and items that are symbolic of relationship situations, such as causes or missions you have an interest in supporting, places you desire to travel to, a perfect mate you are going to attract or have found, cut pictures out of that person or a person with the exact qualities you are seeking. Paste the pictures, words and phrases onto your poster board. Get a really big poster board to add more pictures of your goals and keep adding to it as the year progresses.
Get very creative and have some fun with this project. Remember, there are no limits as to what you can achieve when you can “see it already as yours!”
I did my very own dream board for the first time well over fifteen years ago and I’m still enjoying the benefits of that original board and I continue creating my visions to this day!
Desire + Vision + Focused Action = Dreams Becoming Reality

K.I.S.S.
The goal when inviting someone to a presentation, by phone or in person is to keep it simple! Practice the K.I.S.S. method: “Keep it simple silly!”. Curiosity will cause people to act and logic will cause people to think…so tell them a little in order to create the curiosity and get them interested but not too much as to cause them to think and analyze everything or to make assumptions before they actually attend your presentation.
Often time’s people will “show up” to meet someone rather than to “see” a presentation so…speak in a complimentary and respectful way about your team partner whom will be presenting the business/products with you; this presentation can be by phone/computer or in person. For instance, maybe you don’t live near your team leader however he/she can phone in on a speaker line or skype at the end of your meeting to assist you with the “close” and you will have already created interest and respect for your “expert” previously with the group by edification. The people in the room already trust you however they may not trust your leadership or business expertise yet so it’s up to you to be sure that they “do” respect your team leader and their business experience, expertise, and leadership.
“People show up if you pick them up” so if possible, get a car pool going for everyone coming to your meeting and either you drive or make arrangements for someone else to do it. The goal is to get people into the room and we really don’t care how that happens, whether they drive themselves or you make arrangements for their transportation with a promise of coffee and desert afterwards!
You must also remember that YOU too are an expert. We used to say that if you live 30 minutes away, have a brief case and can give a presentation…you are an expert! It doesn’t matter how much money you have or haven’t made yet with your business…be powerful, act confident and step up to your leadership role!
This is your business and you do know what you are doing! Practice improving yourself daily, follow up with your prospects, continue to be a good student of your business and present you as though you own the biz cause you do!
Staying Cool When Life Get’s Hot!
Sometimes, it certainly feels as though certain people come into our lives just to aggravate the heck out of us, doesn’t it? In those instances, the pressure is on and you may be tempted to blow a fuse however this is not the time to lose your cool – so take a deep breath and mentally count to ten very slowly and then…exhale and precede ahead!
That’s right friends, all of us experience days when we just know the “world is out to get us” or at the very least, specific individuals in the world, seem to be hell bent on tripping us up, at every turn! The good news is this, it happens to the best of us and there are three fool proof steps that I’m going to share with you, in order to get you on the path of happiness and flow again.
1) If you haven’t already come to terms with the fact that some people are just not going to love you, no matter how nice you are, then its time to face that realization right now. It isn’t really important to have everyone love you so long as you love you best!
Yes, I said “you must love you the best” and when you do, truly love and appreciate you, with all of your good and bad qualities because after all, who knows you better than you, only then will you be able to become bullet proof so-to-speak. It won’t really matter whether people adore you, appreciate you or even notice you because it’s your life, you love you and you can accept the fact that not everyone, every where is going to appreciate you the way you do. Self love is the key.
2) Breathe deeply, count to ten slowly and mentally ask yourself this question “five years from now…will I remember this incident and will I care about it, this person or situation? Is this situation here today going to make or break my future happiness?
When you can answer no to those questions above then you realize this incident is trivial and not anything you should dwell on, lose sleep over or even spend one more second of your precious life force on. And you move on, with a determined attitude of happiness and new appreciation because you have your act together, unlike the person attempting to sabotage your lovely day!
3) Say to yourself out loud, if possible or say it mentally if speaking it out loud isn’t appropriate, given the situation “this isn’t about me… I have a choice to make right now and I choose peace, happiness, harmony and love.” That’s correct, right there, right then – you have a decision to make, choose the path of least resistance or choose everything else!
Have you ever heard that “two fools arguing are two fools arguing?” It takes two to tango and two to fight, bicker and create animosity. You simply “choose” not to play the game of fools and continue on with your day.
Smile, keep calm and stay cool even when life/people attempt to get you to jump into the heat of anger or drama remember, we always have a choice and it’s ours to make!
Is It Time To Reinvent Yourself?
“If you’re going to stick around in this business, you have to have the ability to reinvent yourself, whether consciously or unconsciously.” ~ D. Quaid.
I would ask you to think about reinventing yourself beginning right now! How do you reinvent yourself? You begin today to take a good look within at your true self. The “you” that even you may have forgotten all about!
While pursuing your fitness, professional and personal goals you will discover many things about yourself and you will unearth many of your so called, “short comings.” Instead of focusing on those qualities you may not like about yourself, I’m suggesting that you reinvent you! Go within and look for the many gifts you possess…gifts you may have long since forgotten about or you may have even down played those gifts because they made you unique. Perhaps feeling unique made you uncomfortable or caused you to be ridiculed and laughed at or teased by others.
Well, guess what… today is your day to shine! Today as you begin to communicate with people in your family, community or even in your professional life I would like you to be who you truly desire to be! Have you always wished you were a better communicator? Today you are instantly a better communicator because you’re making a new decision about your communication skills! Today you are an excellent communicator and people really understand what you’re saying and sharing with them.
As you’re connecting with others, imagine that you have the gift of gab! You know exactly what to say and when to say it. You’re eloquent and articulate, you have a style of communicating that causes people to sit up and take notice. They pay attention to you, as never before, in a nutshell, when you speak, people listen!
Have you been shy in the past? No more are you shy. Today is your day to step way out of your comfort zone and be heard! This is your life and you believe in yourself and you know you have something special to offer others. You’re the leader they have been dreaming of meeting, the one person who can and will show them a better way of life, a life worth living. Suddenly you are no longer shy; you’re a powerful, magnetic and charismatic person that gains attention and followers wherever you go!
This is your moment in history and your time to be whatever and whomever you choose!
Reinventing yourself is easy, it’s fun and best of all…it can be profitable! When you decide to be the, “you” that you have always desired to be, you automatically become more appealing to others. For one thing, you’re authentic and believable. Stepping into your personal power is quite possibly the one outstanding gift you can do for yourself and to yourself for immediate success! Sounds easy because it is easy. It’s a conscious choice, a decision only you can make. Playing small will not serve you in this world. Why not decide to let go of the insecurities and old, outdated, “not good enough” recordings going on in your head? Today is your day to feel good, and to shine with that newfound healthy self-esteem!
Becoming healthier and making a new commitment to live life to the fullest is an opportunity for you to take on the leadership role, to be an example of what is possible when a new choice or choices are made. You get to be someone that others desire to align with in business and in life. This is a great time for you to shed the old you and step into the new, improved you! The real you!
Relax, have fun and reinvent yourself for success!

Forgive And Forget
It’s time to release.. and learn how to forgive and forget.
Has there ever been a time in your life that someone has wronged you, treated you unfairly or hurt your feelings? I know most of you will say, “of course, who hasn’t had that type of experience at some point in time?” Have you held grudges against the people whom you felt treated you unjust or have you let it all go? I ask because it is interesting and a little disturbing to me when I hear adults place blame on their circumstances and past experiences and make them justifications as to why they are or aren’t further along in life.
Please don’t take me the wrong way, I don’t condone mistreating anyone and I don’t think that it’s okay to victimize others. The act itself isn’t what I’m questioning, instead, I am questioning the after effect of the experience and I’m wondering if it’s being used as a tool to hold anger and resentment within you. I admit that I’ve never been a holder of grudges. I’ve been hurt, disappointed and broken hearted however I think I was born the eternal optimist because I simply don’t let those things get me down. And if they do bother me, they don’t get me down for long.
I recently read an article in a woman’s magazine about how anger and the unwillingness to forgive is a contributing factor to all types of diseases, from cancer to heart disease. Wow, when we hold a grudge or dwell on another person with anger and resentment…it hurts us even more! We become toxic from the inside out and the toxic thoughts have a long term, detrimental effect on our health and well being. Not anywhere in the article that I read did it say that our angry thoughts cause the person we’re angry at to suffer, instead our angry thoughts cause us to suffer even more. Okay, it’s time to let it go and move on with your life!
Confucius said, “To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it”
Take this statement and repeat it several times each day upon waking in the morning and before falling asleep at night. “I forgive ______________ for ________________ and I forgive myself for holding this anger for so long.” “Today I am free from all anger and hurt.”
Have you forgiven yourself for past mistakes? I don’t hold grudges directed towards others but I have been known to get very upset with myself for making a mistake. Can you relate? I have gotten so irritated with me for making bad decisions in love, business, and in life. I am constantly reminding myself that the errors were all part of the lessons and the journey which has led me to this wonderful place in my life.
If you find your anger is directed at yourself, take this statement and repeat it as often as possible. “I forgive myself for _________________ and I now release the anger and the pain associated with that experience.” “My mistakes are my lessons by which I grow from today and always.”
A great book to read on the power of forgiveness is by Louise Hay and is titled, You Can Heal Your Life. This book is a classic on the correlation between anger and poor mental and physical health. She offers some wonderful affirmations and exercises to release the anger or pain associated with a life experience or painful action caused by another person or even by you.
I love the saying, “have attitudes of gratitude to make your life brighter and happier!”
Over the years I have been angry and disappointed by an incident or by something that didn’t happen for me however years later I see the beauty of the situation and I am grateful for it. For instance, when I first decided to become a full time entrepreneur I struggled and I went flat broke (emotionally and physically) in pursuit of my goals. It was a painful and humbling experience for me to go through and yet, years later I look back with gratitude for those lean years of hardship. If I hadn’t struggled, I wouldn’t be the successful life coach that I am today. How would I identify with my frustrated coaching clients had I breezed right through and created an abundant business right out of the gate?
Sometimes when we’re in the moment of the challenge, it doesn’t appear to be anything we could possibly be grateful for and yet, if we can hold on for a couple of years…the gift is often revealed. Another for instance is a situation of the heart which occurred for me several years ago. I loved, I lost and I was hurt from the experience. It took me awhile to get over that heartbreak and now I look back and I could just kiss the man who broke my heart! Thank God he was a dud and moved on because shortly after him, I met my now fiancé John and trust me, he was worth the wait! Had I not gone through the darkness, I may never have experienced the bright sunshine I live in today.
Let go of the past and live in the now. Now is where the living is…not yesterday or even tomorrow. Now is the time to forgive, forget, be grateful and live your life. Look back with compassion on any situations which caused you pain. Did any good come of the past experience or can you see the gift of the incident today? Are you better, stronger, and a more determined person because of your life mistakes?
Will you let the past go so that you may be healthier, happier and more successful today?
You deserve the joy of forgiveness. If it’s painful and making you sick…forget about it! (Use strong Italian accent when saying that last sentence)

Create A Plan Of Action
Where do you plan or desire to be in one week, one month and one year from now? Do you have a destination in mind?
The journey is the fun part; it is the place where experience happens and the part where all the growth is obtained. Before the journey begins their must be a destination in mind, a vision for the outcome, an ending point that will make the different aspects of the journey so much sweeter once reached. You wouldn’t head out the door to go cross country without a roadmap or a navigational device to guide you so don’t take off for the obtainment of something big without knowing or at least having a general plan or idea of what the, “something big” is.
Do you have a calendar of your daily activities to keep you on track? A calendar will keep you productive, busy and will give you a written indication of your actions on a day to day, month by month and yearly basis.
I love to use an AT-A-GLANCE daily calendar and appointment book because it is so handy to write on and to rush out the door with if necessary. My recommendation is to write “everything” down such as time blocked out for exercise, family appointments, personal time and of course, all business appointments and activities.
As I accomplish each task or scheduled appointment I use a bright fluorescent hi-liter to cross off the item and boy, does it feel good at the end of each day to see all of my accomplishments hi-lited on the pages! Be sure to block your “off” time onto your calendar in advance so again, at a glance you know where you’ll be and when you are to be there.
If I had to list one of the top five pitfalls most of my clients run into in their pursuit of greatness it would be a lack of accountability. If you don’t have a coach or mentor to hold you accountable then you must be willing to take on that responsibility yourself. If you told yourself you would actively prospect for new customers on Wednesday from 2pm to 5pm and you blocked off your calendar accordingly then it’s up to you to hold your little feet to the fire, so to speak and keep your promise!
Give yourself a reward for sticking to your appointment schedule for a full week. A treat like Friday afternoon off works for me or perhaps a 1 hour block of time to sneak out and get my nails done or anything else that you consider a small reward for a promise kept! Should you goof up one week and not adhere to the schedule you set then just dust yourself off, give yourself a hug of forgiveness and get right back on track for the following week!
Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither is your golden empire of success…we all make mistakes and the greatest gift to others and to you is the gift of forgiveness.
Sometimes our plan will require adjusting or revising. The best laid plans can go array and or not operate as good in reality as they did on paper. This is the best part about your action plan, it’s yours; you can change it up, revise it at any time and make the necessary adjustments to keep you moving forward. Don’t be afraid to adjust something in your schedule if it’s simply not working for you. Your time is exactly that “your time” and its precious so do what works for you and not necessarily what works for everybody else.
If you find yourself challenged at keeping on your schedule ask for assistance or support from family, friends, business partners or a mentor. Seek out people who can assist you with running errands, cleaning the house, returning phone calls or answering all those emailed messages. Delegate household chores or yard work to other able bodied individuals whom are willing and or able to lighten your load. If you find much of your time is spent on training calls or in meetings that seem redundant from week to week then opt out whenever possible.
Our goal is to create an action plan that works for you and, as mentioned earlier, not necessarily everyone else who likes to plan your day or life for you!
My Vision Workbook can be found right here gives some great exercises and steps you can take for knowing your true heart’s desires. Couple my FREE Vision Workbook with this article on, Creating a Plan of Action and you will truly be unstoppable when it comes to living your passion and life long imaginings!
Envision yourself achieving your goals and dreams. See those dreams as already yours, feel the passion and excitement as you move closer to success inch by inch and day by day.
With a clear cut destination and a daily method of operation, you can’t help but hit your target this year!
You deserve the very best so don’t settle for anything less!

Change Is Good
When we embrace change and accept that change is inevitable life becomes easier and a more enjoyable experience. How many times have you resisted change only to discover that everything changed even without your agreeing to it? Life is in constant motion and the world isn’t static for you, me or anyone else for that matter. I recall reading a quote several years ago and I’ve always remembered it, “change is eminent, growth is optional.”
To grow or not to grow, this is the question we should be asking ourselves every single day. We know change will occur however what we must decide in the process is whether we will grow during the transition from one experience to the next or if we will dig our heels in and exclaim that “everyone else must be nuts because I am fine!” Pointing fingers at others and digging in our heels to do our best to not transform is not only foolhardy but also a bit on the same scale as burying our heads in the sand, like an ostrich hoping that when we look up, all will be as we prefer and nothing much has changed.
I love the phrase, “here we grow again!” When I am in a difficult situation I remind myself that I must be growing again & that this too shall pass in time. I ask myself, “how can I gain from this experience and is there a lesson here for me?” Adversity makes us stronger by causing us to develop more creativity in handling the circumstances life throws at us. And more importantly, we have the opportunity to grow ourselves within the situation by the way we address the issue as we move for resolution
Creating a new habit requires approximately 30 days of focused, disciplined intention. Just 30 days and you could in fact, replace many of your old, outdated and perhaps even sabotaging type of personal and professional habits! Wow, isn’t that something to get excited about? How do we develop new habits? We decide to create a new habit; we decide that it is more fulfilling to live life with our new habit than continuing with the old one. Notice the key phrase is, we decide? Make a decision because you do have a choice, life will change, people change, situations change and so can you!
Will change be difficult for us, perhaps yes and then again maybe no. Remember, the more we resist or perceive the change to be “difficult” it will be and the more we affirm changing is about choice and we choose to change…zippity do da it can be easy and fun! Sometimes people resist changing even when the change is a positive experience for everyone involved. Why would someone refuse to go along with doing a thing that is good for him or her and for us too? Often times it appears to be “easier” to not change rather than to take the “high road” and make the shift. I’m sure you have heard before that “perception is reality!”
As human beings we tend to be creatures of habit. Don’t rock the boat, don’t upset the apple cart and so forth is the ideas many of us grew up accepting as truth. I personally love the saying, “as long as you’re out on thin ice, you may as well dance!” I highly recommend you get out of the habit of having habits. Do the best you can to look with fresh eyes and brand new ideas at each situation that comes your way. Look for better, faster, smoother, more fulfilling solutions than you ever have before now. Promise yourself to stretch, grow and break old patterns any time that you have the opportunity to do so.
Write 2 habits you will replace or eliminate this year?

How will replacing or eliminating these habits assist you? _________________________
Name three people you will ask for support from in sustaining these changes you have committed to. ___________________________, _______________________________,
______________________________________.
- There will be people who complain about the changes in you, change anyway.
- There will be times the populace may not agree with your “fresh” new ideas, create them anyway.
- There may be new skills you must develop to implement your life changes…go develop them.
- There may be fear within yourself as you grow, change and become better…feel the fear and then continue moving forward toward your goals.
- There may be bumps on the path toward change and you may have to go over them, burrow under them, go around them or plow right through them…go for it, you are a winner!

Challenges
Life is made up of a variety of experiences some of which we may look upon as challenges. Many times I’m asked about the past challenges I’ve had in my life and how I managed to stay sane all the way through them! I smile at that question because even now, at this point in my life…I’m still challenged, daily.
It’s not the challenges that cause us the greatest concern it’s the lack of being in control that pushes us over the top. We expect challenges, hey that’s life however when they come and we feel as though we have no control over the outcome, we begin to panic. Fear is that unseen force we create, within ourselves and for anyone who has experienced heart-wrenching fear, it’s paralyzing in its intensity if allowed to run unchecked.
I use the word challenged because problems are BIG and we don’t want to give the issue we’re experiencing any power over us. Challenges can be met, addressed and overcome. From a subconscious viewpoint, challenges are manageable where as problems feel overwhelming to us.
Who isn’t challenged? Each of us experience challenges every single day in one-way shape or form. Why is it that some people face the challenge and move on to a solution, while others wallow in the challenge for days, weeks or years?
I’ve noticed that people with a positive outlook about life take the challenges and turn them inside out to create a growing, learning opportunity. This brings us to the glass being half full, rather than the half empty perspective and there in lies the solution to most challenges.
It isn’t the fact that each of us is challenged that is the issue, it’s how we view and address the challenge that causes us the most pain or peace. Life is made up of choices and we make our decisions based on our past experiences for the most part.
What if the next time you’re challenged you sit down and laugh rather than cry? What if you choose to say, “I can handle this” rather than, “this is too big an issue for me?” Would the outcome be different if you decided to be different in the midst of life’s turmoil’s? Speaking from first hand knowledge, the answer is YES the outcome will be different because you’re different!
Challenged?
- Shake everybody up and laugh instead of crying.
- Immediately begin to look for a solution rather than dwelling on the challenge.
- How serious is this challenge when you sit back and look at the, “big picture?”
- What steps can you take right now to minimize the negative impact of this challenge on your life?
- Is there anyone who can assist you through this challenging time?
- In ten years will this challenge really be an issue?
By asking yourself those six questions you can begin to see, “beyond” the challenge and thereby begin to move past it altogether.
All of us are challenged however not all of us are crushed by the challenges. Use these challenges as an opportunity to get better at this game we call life. Play life with an open heart and embrace each challenge as an opening to stretch yourself a little further spiritually and emotionally.
Remember, you can let go the emotions associated with this challenge by laughing or crying. Laugh at the challenge and watch it release its power over you.

How to Just “BE”… By Lisa Kitter
Be what? Be you! Step up your energy and enthusiasm for who you are in your life because it is time to step up the way you are “being!”
How do you step up who you are being? Like this, I am being positive, motivating, and confident today. I am being focused and committed and I refuse to “be” anything but an inspiration to others and to myself!
I discovered many years ago that what was important wasn’t necessarily what I thought was important. That “doing” wasn’t nearly as important to my ultimate success as how I was “being” while I was doing, what I was doing!
I used to do things because I was told doing those things would bring me happiness and success. I would do more prospecting calls and I’d do my affirmations and I’d do all the trainings and so forth. I was surprised a few years down the road that all of the doing wasn’t creating positive financial results for me in my business. The moment I changed how I was “being” while I was doing those activities…I became a tremendous business success story! For instance, I began prospecting my business contacts with posture and passion. I began believing my empowering affirmations and feeling the truth of the words as I spoke them out loud each morning. It wasn’t long until I was the one conducting the trainings and teaching others how to be more, have more and how to live more on purpose in their lives.

Often times, we think that we have to do more and then we will have more. So, we do and do and do some more and it never does seem to be enough. Truth told, most of the time you are doing too much and not being authentic near as much as you could be and should be. When you begin to be genuine and not a clone of someone else or the person every one wants you to be, you will notice an increase of good in your life. The increase may look like; more people are responding to you in a positive way. The increase may feel like; “I am amazing, wonderful and I am a promise of all good things life has to offer the world.” You may experience a sense of increase in your faith, your belief about living and in the intensity of abundance flowing to you.
Live intentionally today and be everything you desire to be tomorrow except…don’t wait! Be all you desire to be and be it right now, today. Live life as though it is; live as though you have faith, happiness, prosperity, great communication skills, a thriving business and anything else you really desire to be…and be it today!
Stop doing so much and instead, make a promise to yourself to BE an example of what is possible in life and living, beginning right now!

Are You A Digger?
Today I was thinking about the difference between someone who is willing to “dig” for the gold and someone else who is waiting for the gold dust and nuggets to come to the surface without having to get dirty and sweaty in the process of retrieving them.
People often ask me if I got discouraged when I was struggling to build my home based business and the answer is, absolutely! Discouragement for me meant that I also became more determined, focused and motivated to achieve success and I was not willing to accept the struggle as part of my reality for very long.
I’m a digger; I’ll dig and dig until I get some where, any where but failure or disappointment!
If you point me in the direction of the gold and tell me it’s out there, go dig for it, I will.
Are you a digger?
Some people think their diggers but their not. Some people don’t want to get dirty and tired and thirsty while digging, will you?
What I eventually came to realize is that the digging was more of an internal process and not so much an actual event. In other words, when times were tough I had to dig deep inside of myself for my strengths, the fire within my belly was actually what I was digging for.
All of us can justify that it’s not fair that we have to dig more than others or that it isn’t reasonable for the Universe to expect us to dig for months or even years in order to achieve our dreams. We make excuses and complain about feeling like a victim or we become angry and resentful because the pathway to the gold is littered with pot holes, obstacles and often times, real quick sand and other dangers.
We want the gold… however we don’t want to get dirty and dusty during the excavation process.
How did I eventually find the gold and still manage to locate fresh sources all these years later? I keep digging! When times are tough, I dig. When the world seems to be against me, I dig harder and faster. Just when I want to quit and feel that I can’t go on another day, I dig.
Dad and Mom didn’t give my brothers and I everything we wanted, they made us work for it. Often times, my parents didn’t have any extra money for clothing or niceties for us children, if we wanted something, we dug and found a way to get it for ourselves by-way of shoveling snow out of driveways or babysitting on weekends and cutting firewood for our neighbors.
Whatever it took to achieve the desired outcome that is the attitude that was instilled in me by my parents. I wished, at the time, that my folks would have made it easier on me and now I am so grateful that they didn’t because they taught me one of lives most important lessons…how to keep going when you really want to quit!
Another lesson we learned, was that if we truly desired to obtain something, such as, a new outfit, a trip to the mountains with friends or a day of shopping at the mall in Anchorage, it was up to us to figure out how we were going to have the money or resources to make it happen. If it is to be, it is definitely up to me!
So, I learned how to dig and I’m still digging today because all these years later, no one is handing me the gold on a silver platter. I still get dirty and tired sometimes but now I realize that the payoff isn’t reaching the mother lode, it’s the person I have become in the process. My pay off is knowing, I’m a winner and it isn’t because I have more gold than the other guy, it’s because I am willing to dig for it in the first place!
How about you, are you a digger?
