What do you want from life and what’s your commitment to get it?

heart
Do we fear getting healthier because of what we’d have to do for the rest of our lives to protect it? How about our attitude? Same scenario?

 

What do you want from life and what’s your commitment to attaining it?

 

You kill what you fear, and you fear what you don’t understand. – saying

 

Fear.

The saying (above) was used in the context of killing bats because we don’t understand them. Yet try to imagine our world where bats are no longer part of our ecosystem.

Scary.

The context neutral insight transfer?

Imagine if we killed our fear of success.

Imagine if we understood success in a way we can’t begin to imagine right now.

Imagine such an intimate understanding that we no longer had this unnecessary fear of the future.

Your biggest competition is who you think you can’t become

Disney Keynote Speaker
Is there any other choice?

 

Your biggest competition is who you think you can’t become.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

Remember, impossible isn’t something no one has done, impossible is something you haven’t yet done.

Yet.

It’s called our comfort zone for a reason

i remind our Son (17) of this frequently…

The paradox of dreaming is that our dreams turn out worse than or better than we expect.

No one has a crystal ball to get it just right.

What works comfortably for us also blinds us to what’s possible.

It’s called our comfort zone for a reason.

To add fuel to the fire for maintaining our status quo is the insidious way our past and our present rob us of what’s possible.

You must see it before anyone else will

will smith quote
Seven years ago, i posted this quote. Today, Facebook, you’ve got your work cut out for you.

 

You must see it before anyone else will.

Challenging because what we want to do probably feels impossible to us.

If it feels impossible, the journey rarely gets started.

Rarely?

Closer to never, actually.

So here’s some math, and history….

Nine years ago, the impossibility was for me to write for 100 consecutive days.

Made sense to write a lot – as practice – to prepare for writing my first book.

Now, six days from today, i begin year 10 of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Impossible is nothing?

Depends.

On.

You.

Worried about the future?

Calvin and Hobbs
Chapin sent me this last night. He showed it to me as we sat together in the Family room. i requested it, not knowing how i’d use it until after i wrote this post.

 

Worried about the future?

Prove it.

My theory is most adults could eliminate much of their worry if they cleaned up their own bank of lifetime habits first, before expecting someone else to change.

Yes, there are exceptions, but the odds of you being the exception are low.

Could ask dozens of simple questions, but for now, try these on…

When was the last time you exercised?

If we could see what you actually eat and drink in any given month, would you feel good or not so good?

When was the last time you began your day on your knees? And the time before that? Was it this morning and yesterday?

Is there breathing room in your cabinets, shelves, drawers, medicine cabinets, and closets?
