Ah, the power of the spoken word…

Or the lack of Power.

I have spoken to some, who like to have a “back door” or an excuse for not doing what they say they are going to do, or in the time, they say they are going to do it.

It’s really quite clever, yet the impact it has on themselves and the ones they are dealing with, is quite negative.

Upon being asked, when they are going to do something, a clever way they use the phrase which holds them not accountable is; “in a day or two or a week or so”.

And when that doesn’t work, they use the words; “Possibly, Hopefully, Sometime, and the best for last – Soon.

Give it up!

That’s right…Give up what you have been holding on to.

We’re taking about that Great thing, that you know is Great, but you have been keeping from all of us.
What’s the deal? Are you going to hide it until we’re all gone?

Come on, just Give it Up already…and Shine like you are supposed to

Taking it to the…

“Next Level”, usually means that we need to rise up, not down.
Whatever level we are currently at, to rise up, we need to elevate our thoughts, decisons and actions to the level that we want to go to.
In doing so, we will be in alignemnt with the level we chose, and we will rise to the level we want to ride on.

Washers and Dryers…

You know, the new ones with the pedestals…just a metal box, maybe with a drawer, for at least $200 more…each. Designed so you don’t have to bend over.

The day you start making decisions upon moving less is the day you start aging a little more.

PS. That also goes with parking spaces folks.

No one can get…

Us down, unless we let them.

Some folks don’t do, or create their best work…just because the team or the leader isn’t what they would like them to be.

And it’s a shame – because when they “stay down” simply because of others or someone else, it becomes part of the challenge and not part of the solution.

And it really doesn’t have to be that way – Would Michael Jordan not do his best if he didn’t like his team? Would Tiger woods just go through the motions if he didn’t like his coach?

Most likely – not. They play their own “game” by doing or creating their best work, because that’s who they are and they sign their name to what they do.

So we need to play our own “game” no matter who is on the team or whomever is leading – because when we deliver what we got – it makes everything better.

Let it Rip??

Sometimes you just got to…To stray untethered or to be totally free is a great balancing tool!

Yes, we need to produce and focus on the very things that help us take our lives to the next level, but just as important, we occasionally need to take the ‘Collar” off.

So when it comes to your exercise, eating, focus or just relaxing…sometimes you just got to “Let it Rip”!
