I read once that the secret of our success can be found in our daily routine. Well, if that is true, I bet the secret of our failures can also be found in our daily routines. Let me say it like this. Our habits are either making us or breaking us. Habits are the things we do daily that we rarly have to think about. They are deeply rooted behaviors. So, I just want us all to take a look at our habits to see if we have any that may be keeping us from living the life we desire.

Habits are programmed behaviors that produce specific results in our lives.

Hello friends!! I love reaching out and connecting to people. Today I want to talk about two words. Failure and Focus, and how they are related to one another. If we don’t learn to focus on what we are trying to achieve, we will experience a failure. But failure has the ability to generate tremendous focus. So here is where I want to get to. It doesn’t matter what we are trying to do, we need to have focus. If we have had a failure in our lives, the good news is this; failure does not constitute the end. If looked upon appropriately, we can gain key pieces of information from a failure that can help us be successful the next time around.

Failure is only a death sentence if we see failure as a failure and not a learning experience

I talk to myself on a regular basis and I am not crazy. I know the kind of person I want to be and the things I want to do with my life. In my adulthood, I have come across many people that felt the need to tell me about me and give their opinions about what I’m doing. My friends, I’m telling you today that the most important person you need to hear from about you and what you are doing is you. Your words will always carry more weight in your ears than anyone else. For example, one of the things I tell myself every morning is this. “I can figure out the solution to any problem.” As we venture into our future, we need to make sure it is being molded by our thoughts and words, and not the thoughts and words of someone else.

Words are seeds planted in the soil of our hearts. One day soon they will produce a harvest.

The new year puts us in the mindset of changing for the better. Most of us don’t like change. We have to first admit that something may not be right and then we have to do the fun part and look at it. But don’t look at it too long my friends. See what you want to be different from last year. Put them in the order of which you want to change first, figure out what behavior to replace it with, then get busy doing it.

Success is hard because it can be unattractive at times. You have to do the same thing day in and day out to reach your mark.

Hey Everyone and Happy New Year!!

It is a new year today. Most of us have set goals for the year and have already hit the ground running. But here is the deal. That momentum of it being a new year will run out soon and we will have to find some momentum from within. Frustration may set in because we may feel like we are failing. Well, I have good news. The new year is only a time mark. We can start a goal or re-focus one at any time during the year. So, if you fall off your horse in a couple of months, you don’t have to wait until the next new year to set or re-set your goal(s). Get up, dust off, and get back on!! Keep this in mind as you go for it in 2020.
