14 Jan 2011 2011 – Jan 14th Already!

How time fliesHow many times have you heard it said: My, how time flies!

Yes we are already almost halfway through the first month of 2011.

What does this mean to you?

Here is what it means to me — Life is too short to spend it:

Waiting on opportunities.
I have decided to learn to stay more focused and alert to create what comes my way into the opportunities that will lead me to fulfill my goals and dreams.

Going around in circles, because I did not learn the lesson the first time.
I have decided to learn the first time! This means being more alert and sensitive to people, things and my surroundings.

Enough is enough! The success overflow has begun in my life NOW (Quote from John Di Lemme’s 210 Affirmation Challenge.)

Wasting time with the petty things of life.
I think we have all found ourselves tripping up with petty arguments, circumstances we worried about needlessly etc. It is time to put those things aside and focus on the IMPORTANT things in life.

Here is a great decision to make:
I respect my time and I refuse to waste it – Quote from John Di Lemme’s 210 Affirmation Challenge.

The first 14 days of this year, I have spent reading more (my first book this year was Jesus, Life Coach: Learn from the Best – wonderful book!), meditating more (on the Bible, God and the seed of destiny He has placed in my heart, which is also known as my WHY), and making firm plans and decisions for the days ahead.

I am determined to make the very most of every second of this year, 2011. And no, you don’t have to wait until Dec 31st of any given year to make plans, decisions and resolutions. You can resolve (decide) to change anything in your life NOW, no matter what the date is!

EVERY day is a new day, waiting for your decisions,
your words and your actions.

JillWhat you do with TODAY will decide what you will do with this year.

Library bookHave you ever bought a book, a course or attended a seminar that promised you some drastic change in your life or business in the next 30 days, or 90 days?

You enthusiastically bought the book, attended the seminar or listened to all of the mp3s, and at the end of 30 or 90 days you found yourself in the exact same place as you were at the beginning.

What happened?
That’s the problem. Nothing happened because you did virtually nothing.

Success does not come magically to a select few.
No, it is not magic, it is not “destiny” in the sense that “it was meant to be” or “it was not meant to be”.

It is a result of your decisions, determination, discipline and dedication to your vision. In fact true success starts with who you are which is demonstrated by what you do!

You will hear John Di Lemme often repeat this formula:

Decision plus action = results

All too often we make a decision, but forget the action, at least after the first week.

I was close to a lovely German family in Mexico (many members are now waiting for us in heaven), and Gertrudes, the mother, would often say: “El interés tiene pies” (Interest has feet, or in other words, if you are REALLY interested in something you will ACT on it).

Today I read, well actually devoured, an article on Darren Hardy’s blog:
How to Actually Improve From Self Improvement Materials

Darren is the publisher of the Success Magazine . I highly recommend that you click here right now and read (and devour) this article (AND subscribe to the Success Magazine while you are there).

But don’t stop at reading and rereading!

  • Take this article and make an action plan tailor made for YOU.
  • Decide which action step you can take today.
  • Take it today!

JillRemember: El interés tiene pies! (If you really want to change and grow in your personal life and your business, you will take action now!)
