Before changing, establish what matters. If the answer has “should” in it, you will not complete it.

Block out some time to plan where you want to go. Make a schedule and do you best to stick to it.

Limiting yourself to black and white ideas will inhibit you. We tend to see things in “black and white” and change is not that way.

Hope and faith will accomplish more than logic and intelligence but all together will accomplish even more.

We are created by an incredibly creative force capable of vast diversity and immense power. Every brilliant person and every phenomenal idea was formed by the same force that created you. It is impossible to believe you were created with so much potential – and are not allowed to be happy and successful.

If you ever find yourself saying, “I told you 1,000 times…” that means YOU ARE not communicating.
It does NOT mean they are not listening.

Isn’t positive movement the “real” definition of success? Reward yourself. You’re doing better than you think.

Whether we actively make a decision, or we say to ourselves, “Let’s see how this goes for a little while longer,” we are still making a decision.

Rarely – if at all – does anyone WANT to change. The results of the change are what actually motivate us. Keep your focus on those.

Why don’t we keep track, even when we know it will help us?

Our minds listen “faster” than people can speak. Therefore, especially when we’re busy, we sometimes don’t take the time so slow down and really listen to what others are telling us. We respond to what we think they’re saying, not necessarily what they are really saying.

The problems with New Year’s resolutions are that most people aren’t really committed to them but feel they “should” make them because everyone else is; or they are committed to them but they make them too large and unwieldy.

If you enter into your goal believing you can – and it doesn’t happen – at least you got to enjoy the ride for awhile. And during that time, you were invigorated, happy, and energized. Those emotions make you more aware, which make you open to new ideas, which allow you to try what you might not have tried if you thought all would come apart.
