“All progress takes place outside the comfort zone. “

~ Michael John Bobak

If you’re comfortable, you’re not growing.

Growth requires stretching yourself beyond your perceived physical and mental limitations. It requires discipline and strength. It demands courage and resilience.

Fear, on the other hand, stunts growth. It breeds mediocrity and moves you further away from your goals.

Whatever you’re facing today, next week, or in the distant future…..

Do. It. Afraid.

“A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers “

~ Helen Keller

We learn something new ever day. Whether it is a new concept, a process, or an attribute, we have the ability to expand our minds if we allow ourselves to be open to it.

Embrace a growth mindset. Be curious. Never quench the desire to learn more, be more, and do more.

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today” ~ Unknown

Each day presents the opportunity to move closer to or further away from your goals.

What you do today matters.

“Life is what you make it” ~ Unknown

Mind your thoughts. They influence your words. Mind your words. They direct your actions. Mind your actions. They dictate your behaviors. Mind you behaviors. They develop your habits. Mind your habits. They have the power to change your life.

Only YOU have the power to create the life you want. It all starts in the mind.

“Inhale. Exhale.” ~ Unknown

Breathe.

Take inventory of this past week. Explore your strengths. Evaluate your opportunities. Our response to life’s challenges and setbacks reveal a lot about who we are. Take note. And move on.

Refuse to allow the frustrations of last week to spill over into the next. Eliminate toxic thoughts. Start anew.

Only YOU have the power to re-invent yourself.

Only YOU have the power to protect your peace.

Only YOU have the power to shift your perspective.

Be empowered.

Be gracious.

Progress, even the slightest, should be celebrated.

My Heart is Resting.

Is yours?

“In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on. “ ~ Robert Frost

For many of us, life is passing us by. It’s impossible to move forward when you are always looking back.

Life goes on and so must we.

“Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is” ~ German Proverb

Fear amplifies circumstances beyond our control when we focus on it. Fear paralyzes those who fall victim to it. Fear deceives those who believe it. Fear defeats those who refuse to wage war against it.

Fear reminds us that we have little to no control over life’s setbacks. And it’s in those crippling moments that we must remind ourselves that we have the power to overcome it.

“Quality is not an act, it is a habit”

~ Aristotle

We are what we repeatedly do.

We must practice those things we wish to master. We must push to reach our goals. We must laugh to continue to smile. We must walk to continue the journey. We must climb to reach the top.

Whatever it is, we must continue to press forward and never give up because…. we are what we repeatedly do.

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal”

~ Henry Ford

In a world full of distractions, disappointments, and setbacks, we cannot allow ourselves to succumb to them. We must be intentional in keeping our eye on the prize and have the strength and resolve to never give up.

“You can do anything, not everything. “

~ David Allen

Jack of all trades; master of none.

Interdependence is an essential skill in achieving success. When we leverage our strengths and opportunities, we maximize our potential. We increase our ability to delegate. We create opportunities for growth.

Learn to need one another. We are stronger together than we could ever be apart.
