The idea of...

 Many times in life, people get caught up in the "idea" of whatever.  Jobs, relationships, houses, geographical locations.... or...

Its seems lately that too many people have unrealistic expectations and fall quickly for the "Idea Of" vs embracing what is and living/loving on life's terms.  We have sooooo much control, free choice, and can manifest based on who we are and what we do.  If someone or something doesn't embrace the true YOU, let it go.  You have to have your own idea of YOU.  Other opinions don't matter.

We attract what we give.  For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction.  Life is too short to not fall in love with what is right in front of you vs the "idea of".  The plants that grow are the ones you water.

The idea of YOU may need the water.

Happy game day....

Love you all

Love what you do

 There have been many people ask why I do what I do,  The answer is simple.  I love people, their stories, and transforming lives.

We are all here for a brief period of time.  Make an impact.  It could be a simple smile or engagement as to how you can help in their lives.  Too many people don't embrace the concept of doing what they love and loving what they do.

Zig Ziglar once stated that if you help enough people get what they want, you can have anything that you want.  For me, I simply want to give without necessarily expecting a return.  It comes down to PURPOSE and living in such a way as to GIVE what you have to make the world around you a little better.

That also includes YOURself.  Love yourself, give to yourself, and love what you do because embracing the journey equates to what you can give yourself and others.

Outside of a "job", you have soooooo much to give and love.  What are you DOing?

Love you all

What if

 

What if you didn't care what other people thought?  Following what you know is brave, real, and transformative.

Following what you know to be true can make the "what if" beautiful.  What if?  You take a chance in a direction your heart is guiding you, and you may be surprised by the result.  But, only if you commit to the chance.  It beats the results of what was, if you can simply get the gumption to say "what if" and act.

One body.  One Life.  No other chances.  "What If" we make it better than what it was.  Throw caution to the wind and give it a go.

Love you all

Merge

 Merge....  Sometimes you come off a different road to get into a new flow of traffic.  As scary as that interstate may be when you merge into,  it can take you somewhere you have never been.

Get off the road you were on, and explore where the next road will take you.

There still may be wrecks you have to deal with, demolished tires in the road, or traffic jams.  Cops will be there too.  Navigate the road and take the exit that calls your name.  You can go ANYwhere when you get off the road you were on

Time to take a trip.

Love you all.

Out of ideas?

 There are times in life that you simply run out of the light bulb moments or ideas.  You can't succumb to the mentality that the light bulb is off.

Your actions light it up.  When that thing starts to dim, its time to ACT and light it up.  It begins with the realization that the light is beginning to dim.  Light it up before it goes dark.

Your "ideas" come from the light of "action".  Its time.  Act first, and let the ideas come.  Bring them to fruition.

Today is the day to bring that watt bulb to brightness.

Love you all

Break time

 I have done a decent job at motivating members, writing, working, trying to build relationships, and grow myself.

That last part is something I am not going to take a break from, and neither should you.  Take a break from what breaks you, and tackle the things that build you.

"Break Time" is exactly that.  Take a break.  But, not from yourself.  Lets keep growing that part.

Love you all

Confused?

 Sometimes confusion can come in many forms.  I have researched!  When we get conflicting information, we can become obsessed with the result we WANT.  An analogy is why people keep going back to a slot machine or continue to buy lottery tickets.  People keep having the hope of the reward regardless of the number of failures.  I have talked to quite a few people that tell me they "won"........ whatever amount.  They don't share how much they actually lost before they "won".  The reality is that you can spend thousands and win a $100.  Yet, you will be told they won $100.

The same thing comes into play with workouts, nutrition, and life.  You should always get back what you put in or more.  The goal is to not be in the negative.

I have invested in people with no return on the investment.  It is why I have always been passionate about working out.  What you put in, you get back.  Your effort equates to a return that is not in the negative.

I may have bought 2 scratch off tickets in my lifetime.  All I did was throw away a few dollars for the hope of winning more.

Your time and energy should not be wasted.  Invest in something that yields a return.  Be it your job, relationships, or health...........Get your moneys worth.  You are off value.  Don't get addicted to the hope of what could possibly be.  Be addicted to the action that produces results.  End the confusion and focus on the actions that clearly give you an actual return on your investment.

Love you all
