-Find The Armor of Belief John Mayor said it beautifully in his song Belief. "Belief is a beautiful armor, but makes for the heaviest sword, like punching under water, you never can hit who you're trying for, some need the exhibition, and some have to know they tried, it's the chemical weapon, for the war that's raging on inside." To believe is to have faith. Faith that things will work out. Faith that you will have the strength to fight your doubts. Belief is a heavy sword, but it's power is grand in all regards. One of our most overlooked powers in life is the unbelievable power of our beliefs. The dictionary defines it as: 1 : a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing 2 : conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence A belief is something that we choose to form in our own minds about the way we choose to perceive the world around us. It is our recognition that some idea or thing is true and valid. Our beliefs are based off of our perception of life, which is based on our experiences and knowledge about life. Just because we see something a certain way, does not necessarily mean that’s the way it actually is in reality. Perception and reality are two different things. As we grow older and learn new things, we realize that certain assumptions we had at a younger age were not as accurate as the new view we now have of the world. We need to understand that all of the things we think we know about the world are only the best assumptions we can make using all of the things we have learned up to this point. We learn and grow and now know more about how to interact with the world, and how to create a life that continuously makes us fulfilled at higher and higher levels. Most of us are scared of the unknown. We like to feel safe and comfortable. We like order. We will fight to keep things the same. We don’t like it when something threatens to change the way we see the world, even if it is for the better. We would rather stay exactly where we are, no matter how bad things can be, rather than try to get there from here even though it could make things one hundred times better for us when we get there, we fear that it has the chance to make things just a little worse, and end up doing nothing. Many of us really don't know why we are here, or what we are doing. That’s why a lot of us don’t like to change even if it's for the better and we would rather just try and stay busy. Beliefs can truly empower us or keep us caged and comfortable. Beliefs are that powerful. We got most our beliefs from others, and were not based on our own better judgment. We have beliefs that are self-limiting. We have beliefs that are self-fulfilling. We have beliefs about our purpose. By not having our own beliefs, It’s no wonder many of us suffer and struggle in our lives. We are walking around in a self-created prison based upon ways of thinking that we got from others. To understand what you are supposed to do in life and actually have the courage to do it, starts with your beliefs, and yours alone. Believing in yourself and your capabilities. Belief that you deserve a better life. Belief that it can happen for you despite past failures. Your beliefs are a heavy sword to serve and empower you. Ask yourself which beliefs are still holding you back right now? Write them down, whatever comes to your mind. Make a list of 5-10 beliefs you have, and figure out where they came from. If they are ones you no longer wish to have, write down some new empowering ones to replace them. Make a habit of reading the new beliefs you want to have to yourself every morning which will help you begin to internalize them, and you will be amazed at how much it can change your life. Having the right beliefs aligned with your values and purpose will make the road to there from here feel right. It will give you the confidence that you are going down the right path.

Lift The Curse and Get Back in The World Again "Like the lift of a curse, got a whole different person inside my head, No more trudging around, stony eyed through the town, like the living dead" ~Back in The World Again, David Gray To pave your new road, the curse that has followed you around needs to lifted. It needs to be addressed head on, dealt with and vanish with your new found motivation and desire to become a different person. A stronger, more refined you. There is no trudging on the road ahead. There is no more stony eyes leading you. You are living, not dead. So it's time to start living a fully engaged and purposeful life. It's time the world see's the real you, not the one that has been showing up like a zombie, afraid of change, afraid of life. What parts of yourself have you packed away on a shelf somewhere. Take the best of you and move forward. As David Gray puts it later in his song Back in The World Again, "It's the only way to be." Everyday when you open your eyes, make it feel like a Saturday. Put a new song in your heart that gives you a fresh start. Get back in the world again.

-Are You Ready For What's to Come? Are you a seeker? Have you searched for advice in all areas of your life? If you keep seeking, you will find the answers and guidance to help you on your journey. The next mile will feel like a road you haven't walked down before. It should. "To get to somewhere you have never been, you need to do something you've never done." The unopened doors will open. The gates will lift. The locked and stagnate areas of your life will become unlocked. What's to come in your life when you challenge yourself will be of a magnitude of greatness. Don't think you have all the answers. Become a seeker of quality advice. Going down a new road without some guidance is like going into a thick forest with no trail, no compass and no map. If you're trying to become healthier, find a nutritionist. If your trying to get in shape, seek out a personal trainer. If your trying to improve your life, get a life coach or find a mentor or someone you look up to. Some of the highest performers, have coaches or mentors for every aspect of their lives. Seek and you shall find. Get ready for what's to come.

-Some things are beyond your control You don't have much control over the storms of life, but you can control how you react to them. We have all heard the expression, "this too shall pass." Even saying this expression over and over during a tough time in your life seems to be so far from the truth when you are in the eye of a storm. It feels like for what seems like forever that it will never pass, but it does. When you do have tough times, I find it extremely helpful to find an outlet. Make a gratitude journal, write poetry, paint, read a motivational book or for me, I would always turn to writing songs. Getting my thoughts on a page negative or positive allowed me to release the good and more importantly the bad from my mind. Many of the songs with feelings of hurt or pain turned out to be the best songs or they just got thrown in a cardboard box of the past. These songs, although not necessarily uplifting always served as a reminder of the things I endured and became stronger because of them. Always remember the only thing you have complete control over is your thoughts. In his book "As a Man Thinketh, James Allen makes the simple but bold statement that “Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce a good result.” Good results in your life will only come from your frame of mind. Your ability to craft the thoughts you can control into positive dwellings in your heart and mind. The more responsibility you accept for the things in your life, the greater amount of control you will feel you have. The greater amount of control you feel you have, the more confident you become. The happier you become. When you feel in control of your life, you will end up setting more challenging goals for yourself. You will also have the determination needed to achieve them. You will feel like the world is in your hands, and that you can make it into whatever you want.

-Somewhere We Live Inside To quote the band Switchfoot, "We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves, somewhere we live inside, somewhere we live inside." John Wooden once said, Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do." So what are you really good at? What are your strengths? Don't let your weaknesses or things you're not good at get in the way of your strengths and the things you are good at. Somewhere, this better you lives inside. Do you always bring it out? Do you bring out your best? Each an everyone of us was meant to live for so much more. We are meant to live at our highest potential. A lot of us have lost ourselves, or have yet to find our highest self. Just know this, it's there.

-Side Aside Your Worries What are your big worries? What are your three biggest worries or concerns in life, right now? What preoccupies you in your day-to-day life right now that is preventing you from doing all that you can, giving all that you have. What is aggravating you? Are you clinging to what you know, because you are so fearful or so worried? What is stealing your chance for happiness. What is getting in your way more than anything else? Now ask yourself, what are the best solutions to each of these problems? How could I get rid of these problems or worries right now? Without these worries in your way, you have nothing to hold you down. Worries are similar to fear. They can hold you down like an anchor. It's your job to pull the anchor up and allow your ship to set sail. A typical worry might be that you are not sure you have the knowledge or experience to get to the next level. This type of worry really could be coined as an excuse. Go get the knowledge if you feel you need it. Your competence will lead to confidence and will trump the need for more experience. Knowledge is power. If you wait till you have more experience you may be waiting a long time to get the things you deserve right now.

-DON'T GIVE IN TO YOUR FEARS Eventually, you will have fears set in when you start taking on your new direction with your new found motivation. But really fear is just the result of dereliction of our own minds. If you have fears then you are probably not doing enough of the right things to move the needle. If you let your fears build into a Grand Canyon of doubt you will be stuck forever just gazing at the vastness of possibilities like a scenic overlook. Don Ward said “If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits.” Don't avoid fear; conversely, it's something we should embrace. Fear is actually a a strong indicator that you are doing the things needed to move in the right direction. I've heard some motivational authors say FEAR stands for False Events Appearing Real. What really is fear anyway except something we create in our head that usually never comes to form into something real. Fear is not rational, well it may feel rational if you were put in a glass house full of spiders. Rather than seeing fear as a sign to run the other way as most people do, you must treat fear as your indicator to press on. Being in the financial services business for almost 15 years I have trained, mentored and coached hundreds of new financial advisors and the biggest fear I see in them is the fear of rejection. I have heard every excuse in the book as to why they didn't make there 25 contacts on a particular day, or why they didn't hit the production number for the month. The phone appears to be a 100 pounds on most days. I would always ask them, what are you really afraid of? Afraid of success? Because the more no's you get means your that much closer to a yes. More no's = More yes's = More success. Should we be afraid of less no's. Less no's = Less Yes's = Less success's. Grant Cardone says in his book The 10X Rule that “Fear doesn't just tell you what to do; it also tells you when to do it. Ask yourself what time it is at any point in the day, and the answer is always the same: now. The time is always now—and when you experience fear, it's a sign that the best time to take action is at that very moment." Use fear as a sign to take action. When you are fearful, make that extra call, do that extra thing that makes you stand out. Don't just set fear aside, use it as an indicator rather than an inhibitor. Don't let fear have any of your time. If it does, it becomes stronger and stronger and eventually paralyzes you. Don't let your fears have time to grow. It will kill your momentum and drain your energy until neither are left. They say "sometimes what you're most afraid of doing is the very thing that will set you free." Brendon Burchard says in his new book "The Motivation Manifesto" something interesting about getting rid of fear. He says, "“We have the means to extinguish our fears, but we lack discipline in using it, like having the extinguisher in our hands as our home burns but choosing not to use it because we’d have to aim. How often do we sense worry, but rather than combatting it with conscious thought, let it burn?” We can't let our fears and worries burn. Before we know it, they have grown into a uncontrollable raging fire we cannot put out. The fire we want to be growing is our ambition. Don't let fear reign.

-Challenge What Your Future Holds

As each day that goes by, without a vision of what you want your future to be, is a day not used wisely. Are you listening as your day unfolds to what your potential can be? Are you recognizing what you are truly good at? Do you know your true potential? Without challenging yourself today and growing personally and professionally, you will never know and you will never reach your full potential. Sometimes it’s hard to be strong and hold your head up high when you are just trying to get by through the everyday stresses of life. It’s hard to be wise with the knowledge you have learned over the years and take the steps necessary to make strides each day toward the long term vision of your life. We can have knowledge, but it’s wisdom or knowing what to do with that knowledge that will help us get there from here. There is a future that is grand for you. You have the choice to challenge how grand it can be. You have the ability to spend your life in your own way. You must make that choice to take that chance and your life will change. Without making that choice and taking that chance on what your future holds, your life will never change. Jim Rohn has often said, “If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” What is your excuse for not being where you want to be? What do you imagine your life to be like without excuses in your way? You have control of your future, because you have control of your thoughts, you have control of the images you visualize and you have control of the actions you take. According to Jack Canfield, how we use these three things determines everything we experience in life. Release your fears. Take a different view of your future. Be bold. Be strong. Solve the puzzle of your life with that final piece to make it complete. That final piece is?….ACTION.

-Shed Some Light on Your Future Self Imagine for a moment that you have no limitations whatsoever. Imagine that you have all the time, talents and abilities you could ever have to achieve any goal you set for yourself. If you had no limitations -in 5 years - where do you see yourself? What does your life look like? What would you be doing? What new skills would you have? What kind of goals would you have accomplished? What status would you have in your profession? When you think about 5 years in the future and the things you need to do to get there, you force yourself to make better decisions today. Peter Drucker once said, “We greatly overestimate what we can accomplish in one year. But we greatly underestimate what we can accomplish in five years." Ask yourself what you would have to do to create your perfect future 5 years from now. When you practice this type of future-thinking, you make no compromises with your dreams for your future. You don’t settle for small achievements or mediocre success. You start thinking "how" can I achieve the things in my life, rather than "can." You project forward mentally a future you want and figure out how you are going to do. You shed a light on your future self. To quote the great Michael Jackson from his song History, "EVERY PATH YOU TAKE YOU'RE LEAVING YOUR LEGACY." What legacy do you want to leave? What legacy do you want to live? Be careful to not live too far in the distant future though. You need a vision for your future but don't forget to be present. Lao Tzu said it perfectly, “If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.” Don't focus so much on the future that you get so anxious that you can't enjoy each day. Focus each on the things you need to do to achieve your future self, today in the present. Don't give up because of a short-term goal not met. Don't give up if you don't reach that year-end goal. Keep your sights on your 5 year vision. You will get there.

-What Can You Do With It Your most valuable possession is today. How are you going to spend it? Will you give in to distractions or focus on your most important priorities? Will you let the world design your day, or will you take responsibility for how you spend today , take control, and make it yours? Prioritize the things today that will give you the best outcome but also make sure there is a reward that is meaningful. Things that matter the most to you should come before things that are less impactful. When you accomplish something meaningful that you once believed was not possible, it makes you a new person. It breaths life into your days and it brings a fulfillment to your years. As you focus on your daily commitments and rituals expect some struggles. Even when things feel like an uphill struggle just keep your discipline because the view from the top of your potential is going to be magnificent. Anything worth having is going to be a tough road. If you want to reach your potential, you need to add a very strong work ethic to your god given talents. Talent alone won't be enough. In John Maxwells book "Make Today Count" he talks about focusing on choices rather than conditions. He talks about people either focusing on the external or the internal. "Those who focus on the external expect conditions to determine whether they keep their commitments. Because conditions are so transitory, their commitment level changes like the wind. In contrast, people who base their actions on the internal usually focus on their choices. Each choice is a crossroad, one that will either confirm or compromise their commitments.” So focus on your choices rather the things you can't control. Make the sacrifices today so you have better options in the future. A ripple in the water starts off small but eventually grows into something bigger. Keep a perspective. Be grateful every day and don't compare yourself to others. Create your path. Find your why. Don't worry about the obstacles. Get your tailwind and stop preventing yourself. Today is Worth 10 Tomorrow’s. The present moment is so precious. Every little thing you do today will have ripple effects into your future, so make today worthwhile.

-Believing You Can Find it Richard M. DeVos once said, "The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.” One of the most important things on your road to there from here is believing you can get there. The law of belief says that, "whatever you believe, with conviction, becomes your reality." We view our world through a lens of beliefs, attitudes, and preconceived notions. Improvement in your life comes from altering your beliefs about yourself and being open to the possibilities. What if you wanted to double your income? Do you even believe that you could do it? If you are skeptical, your belief is not in line with what you think is possible. About 3 years ago I was making an average salary just getting by. My colleagues were passing me in production, in assets gathered, in new clients acquired. During an awards ceremony I didn't get called up for anything because my business didn't grow enough to get the next production award. Everyone was getting called up, except me. I lost my mojo. I lost my confidence. Everyone else except me, seems to know the way. Everyone business was going up while mine was going sideways. It seemed impossible at the time for to me to get to the next level when I felt so far behind. That hit me hard and a vowed to never to miss the next production level again. I wasn't sure I could double my income or even triple it, but I set the goal, wrote it down and shared with my staff where I wanted to be 1 year from now and 3 years from now. It took awhile for me to believe I could do it but when I did everything changed. I doubled my income in 2 years and nearly tripled it in 3 and am on track to quadruple my income from that day 5 years ago. I finally believed it was possible. Napoleon Hill said, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Each of us is capable of achieving excellence in some way, in some area. We have within us the ability to function at genius or exceptional levels in at least one, and perhaps several different intelligences. According to Dr. Howard Garner of Harvard University, the founder of the concept of multiple intelligences, we are possessed of at least ten different intelligences, in any one of which we might be a genius. Our job is to find out what it could be? Are we a genius in art business, writing music, science or physics. We tend to find what we are good at when we are young, but there may be things that you weren't exposed to as a child or never had the time to explore. What if you true talent is an interpersonal intelligences where you are able to deal well and get align with others and you are in a non-personal related job that doesn't compliment your talents. As a person, you are designed for greatness and success. You have capabilities that have still yet to be tapped. Find them. Harness them. Believe. Be the someone else that always seems to know the way.

-Getting Past the Obstacle of You "I can see clearly now the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day. It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day." ~I Can See Clearly Now, Johnny Nash There is going to be a bright sunshiny day ahead for you. The dark clouds have faded and the rain has stopped and it's time for things to change for the better in your life. The problem is that we don't often see all the obstacles in our way, because the one obstacle we don't often see or notice is ourself. The biggest obstacle standing between you and success is "you." If you cannot overcome the obstacle of you, you will never get there from here. If you can overcome this obstacle, whatever you want will be yours. You are the only one standing between you and your success. Unless you accept complete responsibility for your current situation, you will not properly empower yourself to take the action and establish the disciplines necessary to set yourself up for success. If you become responsible for your current state, then you can also become responsible for your future state. If your decisions and actions got you here, your decisions and actions will get you there. By having faith in yourself, this will allow you to focus on what you can control and the things you can change. For a lot of us, this step is very hard. By accepting that you are the obstacle, you are preparing yourself for success. Get out of your own way, and you will start to see more clearly more than ever and you will soon see the light of a bright sunshiny day. Of course there are other obstacles that get in our way as well. They can also become major roadblocks in your way. Most people that try to get there from here end up giving up to soon, in fact most people give up before they even make that first amount of effort. They give up because of all of the obstacles, challenges, and roadblocks when they enter the realm of the unknown. When they decide to do something that they have never done before. The interesting thing, is that successful people fail much more often than unsuccessful people. Successful people seem to put more effort forth and try more things. They fail more. Again and again before they succeed. They plow right through the obstacles by not ever, ever, ever giving up. Don't give up. Don't let any obstacle slow you down. Keep trying until you yourself just plow right through them as well.

A Winner is Inside- You Are a Champion The great Lou Holtz once said, "Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that's the difference." Sylvester Stallone said, "I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts." When I was in High School I always thought you were either born a winner, or you weren't. There was always those gifted and talented kids that made it look so easy. Were they born winners or did they just work really hard outside of games and practices? They no question were born with talent, but what made them winners? Michael Jordan said “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.” A winner simply makes it happen. A winner expects great things before he or she does them. They believe in themselves, but to believe in yourself, you need to have an inner unshakable confidence. To have an inner unshakable confidence, there needs to be an enormous amount of discipline and practice behind the scene. So what are doing to gain more confidence in your field or career? Michael Jordan said you have to master the fundamentals. He said, “You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.” If you don't think you can become a winner, read Michael Jordan's book "Drive From Within." Michael had talent, but he developed his abilities and he became a winner through failing and his will to keep trying. We all have this ability. We all have a stronger will then we have ever fully tapped into. Red turner said the simple but famous quote, "You can never quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win." Never give up.

-Don't Trade Your Passion For Glory "So many times it happens too fast, You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past, You must fight just to keep them alive" ~Eye Of The Tiger, Survivor Life seems to fly by and before we know it, we wake up one day and 5 years have passed. A decade has passed. 20 years are gone with a blink of an eye. The path most of us take during our life is the path of glory, not the path paved with our deepest passions. We trade our passion for glory. That glory may just be a secure job as glorious as that may sound. That glory may be something you're good at and you reach a certain amount of success with, but it is not your deep seeded passion. You have glory, but not fulfillment. Many of us have our grips still on our dreams we once had in the past, but we lose them in the daylight. We forget about them in the whirlwind of the present until they are gone completely. We have to fight to keep them alive. Our dreams shouldn't die in the darkness after midnight. We need to bring them into the daylight. Into our lives again. Give them life, let them get the air they deserve to breathe life into your purpose and put you in the drivers seat of realizing your true dreams. Does your current job give you the thrill of the fight? Does it ignite you inside? Are you rising up to the challenge or are you just surviving. Are you not making a change cause you think the odds are against you? That you don't deserve a better purpose filled life that replicates your biggest dreams. Dig down deep, pull out the desire to do something more. Become your dreams. Be the music within.

-Controlling the Wheel of Your Life- Building Powerful Intentions From the song "Drive" by Incubus. "Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear and I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer it's driven me before, it seems to have a vague haunting mass appeal, lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel. " Sometimes we take our hand off the wheel for a moment and stray from our objective in our quest to there from here and sometimes we just take our eyes off the road ahead and spend to much time looking in the rearview mirror. If we want to stay behind the wheel of our life and in control, we need to keep 3 things close. Ambition, Attention and Attitude. If we stay ambitious by cultivating our desires we will be on our way to reaching our goals in the distance. If we are attentive to the now and are aware of what we are doing or not doing each day to move the needle in our life we will be at the helm of our ship. If we keep our attitude in check and focus on positive thoughts we will be in control of the health of our mind, the health of our bodies and the wealth of our success. Every decision we make today will have a ripple effect into our future. For example if you decide to not pay yourself first and save money for your future, you will be far behind in your goal of financial independence. Think of each decision like a deposit into your future success. Each little triumph will start compounding until they turn into big achievements in the future. James Allen says in his essay As a Man Thinketh, “Let a person radically alter their thoughts, and they will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will effect in the material conditions of there life. People imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crystallizes into habit, and habit solidifies into circumstance." You are controlling the wheel of your life. Your thoughts are the steering wheel. Your habits are the gears. Your actions are the accelerator. Without positive thoughts about your future, you're like a car with no steering wheel. No matter if you have the right habits, or take the right actions you won't end up at your desired destination. You'll get somewhere better than here because you took action, but not where you want to be because you let negativity or doubt be your guide and take you off course from your true desire. If your thoughts are the steering wheel your intentions are the gas that fuels your true purpose. To build powerful intentions we need a strong plan for execution. Some of our best intentions fail because we don’t have a plan in place. Your new attitudes and behaviors must be incorporated into your daily habits to affect any real, lasting positive change. Once our actions become habit they become automatic and lasting. It might be obvious but the greater the challenge, the more rigorous our routines need to be to make positive change. Until our thoughts are linked with purpose there is no true accomplishment. We cannot simply drift in the sea of life. Aimlessness is not a path available on the road to there from here. As James Allen writes “To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.” We should make our purpose our grand duty. Starting today. From this point forward, see and think about yourself as the grand controller of your own fate. See yourself as a CEO of your destiny and in charge of running the most important company in the world. Your own life. Take the wheel and drive.

-What You Feel is What Your Are To quote the band Goo Goo Dolls, "What you feel is what you are, and what you are is beautiful." The biggest single obstacle to getting there from here is your “self-limiting beliefs.” When you believe yourself to be limited in some way, your life will be limited. You may believe that you are inadequate in areas such as ability, talent, creativity, or intelligence. By not believing in yourself, you end up selling yourself short on how beautiful your life can become. How amazing you can be. If you underestimate yourself, you will either not set any goals, or ones that are far below what you are truly capable of achieving. If what you feel is what you are, then you are doomed if you don't believe in yourself. You have more talent, intelligence and ability then you have ever thought you have. Human potential in everyone is only tapped in a small percentage in most of us. Reach down and give your life it's all. You will never have regrets doing all that you can. Brian Tracy talks about having worthy ideals in his book on Goals. He says, "Happiness is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. When you have clear, exciting goals and ideals, you will feel happier about yourself and your world. You will be more positive and optimistic. You will be more cheerful and enthusiastic. You will feel internally motivated to get up and get going every morning, because every step you are taking will be moving you in the direction of something that is important to you." What's important to you? What makes you happy? If you are happy, you are more likely to create a better life. A better you. You are more likely to keep doing "All That You Can."
