Overnight Success?

Wouldn’t that be terrific! Super star over night…

Seems that we see it all the time on TV and in the magazines.

Yeah seems like it, but in reality, there are very few people who have  ever experienced over night success.

In entertainment, most people that are successful have been doing it for years.

It’s the same way with athletes at the top of their game…they have been working on it since childhood.

As a matter of fact, there have been studies done that shows that most of the people that are considered to be an “over night success” have been doing what they have been doing for an average of 20 years.

So if you’re not “there” yet, just keep up the great work and your chances of becoming and over night success keep getting better with every year!

Yours in keeping up the great work – Coach

A smile…

Can help bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like us.

A smile can also help us reinforce our subconscious pathways and all the positive physiological effects it brings about.

A smile is also a great way to make someone feel special…”Have you ever entered a party or event and didn’t recognize anyone…then a smile welcomes you and you suddenly feel special?

The best thing we can wear, that helps us and others…is a smile.

Stay “Small”…

But Think Big.

In challenging times in our lives, sometimes we need to look around and “take in” what nature gives us.

When we are facing challenges, just sit at the beach and look at the vast ocean, look at the night sky with the billions of stars that are around us, or gaze at a mountain…it makes us, and our challenges seem small in comparison.

This contrast can help us to think about how tiny our challenges are, and how big the Universe is, and all the possibilities that await us.

2 Years…

In the cadaver labs, in my training…were quite intense.

We had to flag and identify every fissure, artery, gland…basically every landmark within the body and every detail that had an eponym tied to it – which was in the thousands.

In the Lab, as we were working, it was quite clear that the way the person lived had a lot to do about the way they died.

By looking at the overall picture and then mining down to the detail, we could see and even anticipate what areas would be affected. Whether is was certain organs that were damaged or systems that were backed up or distended, it was a true path of what they did…to what they developed.

So remember…what we do, affects our body and it can either be good or bad depending on the choices we make.

I’ve had the Pleasure of…

Having a chat with many who have shared their challenges with me.

A common thread that weaves through most all of the conversations is that the people all have been intently focusing on the challenges in their lives.

They have “Spun it and Won it” by redirecting their focus on What is good in their lives, or on a Solution, instead of their focusing on their challenges.

The long journey towards…

The middle…that’s where most of us end up.

Not the best, and not the worst – Average – which is the best of the worst, and the worst of the best.

The middle, the normal – like everyone else.

The ones who end up in the middle follow the rest of the pack, the herd mentality – Safe – no glory, but no defeat either – and taking the path of least resistance will always get us there.

Now that we know who gets to the middle, why, and how to get there, we can choose if it’s the place for us.

If it is – that’s OK – some like to play it safe and like to be average…but for those of us that don’t, we now know what to do…to be different.

Yours in Choice – Coach
