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.

04 Sep 2010 Mark Spitz – Today In History – Sept 4, 1972

Mark SpitzToday, Sept 4th, 1972 Mark Spitz added a 7th gold medal to his collection of gold medals he won at the Summer Olympics in Munich.

Not only did he achieve this, but he also broke 4 world records in various areas of swimming at the same games.

Mark actually broke 33 world records during his swimming career.

  • It is good to honor others for their achievements.
  • It is also good to look at their lives and be inspired to do more in our own lives.
  • It is even good to learn from these outstanding achievers, studying their lives to discover their secrets to success.

What is NOT good?

Do not try to copy their pursuits.
Pursue YOUR own dream. You have a unique dream and life purpose that no one else can fulfill. Don’t leave a gap (that is your size) in this world. Fill it with YOUR success.

Do not try to be like them.
You do not need to copy someone else. You not only have a unique purpose in life but YOU yourself are unique. There is no one else like you. So do not ruin yourself by trying to be a clone of someone else.

Yes, be inspired by others.

  • You can learn strategies and ideas from others.
  • You should apply and adapt these strategies to achieve YOUR dreams and YOUR life purpose. Also seek to pursure YOUR dreams and life purpose.

Today’s thought is:
You should honor others yes, but ALSO it is VERY important to honor YOUR dream and life purpose.

JillYOUR life purpose and dreams are to be YOUR main focus. Don’t leave a gap in this world, your size!
