Impossible?

Some don’t listen.
In 1954, doctors and scientist said no one can run a mile under 4 minutes. Our bone structure was wrong, wind resistance was too great, our hearts could not take the strain and our lungs were inadequate.

Roger Bannister wasn’t listening. He trained his 25 year old body and mind with thousands of laps of training.
On May 6th, 1954, he reached the finish line and the stop watch told a different story – 3 minutes 59.4 seconds.

46 days later, his record was broken by another runner – by the end of 1957, 16 runners ran the mile in under 4 minutes, and 4700 times since.

In the few short years when the record was repeatedly broken, the runners didn’t suddenly “get better” – they simply began to believe.

I’m so excited…

I have goose bumps all over just thinking about all the great things and possibilities that await each and everyone of us in the future!

I couldn’t have more chills and goose bumps with an ice bath!

I know you feel the same way, when you really, I mean really take the time to think about YOUR future and what awaits YOU.

Maybe we should think…

Of others first…for a change?
You know the deal…many times we think of ourselves first and consider others as just bugging us or getting in the way?
Well, others have their own deal too.
So if a family member, coworker or friend is bugging you or getting in our way by just being themselves, we may need to rethink – or we end up alone.

Whistle while you work?

The saying has been around for quite some time and it really does have meaning.

It basically means putting in a little fun and happiness in your work.

Occasionally, work may demand all of our attention, but the majority of the time, we can put a little fun and happiness into it, while thinking about other things, and still handle, what we need to handle – safely.

This is because attention is a cognitive process which allows us to do more than one thing while keeping our “environment receptors”…in the ready…just like when we are talking on the cell phone driving through traffic.

So next time you forget to put a little fun and happiness into your work, put some in quickly, you should be safe, creative and the time will fly by.

No one is “stuck”…

When they start out.

Occasionally we may feel that way, but with all the possibilities and opportunities for us to create anything we want, we need to stay focused on that.

We may have some difficulty on getting started, but once we choose a direction, we can all start some pretty amazing chain of events, if we keep focused on the possibilities and opportunities that surround us.

Let’s nix “stuck” from our vocabulary and replace it with, “a momentary pause before creation”.

Do you have an albatross…

Hanging around your neck?

Some of us do – it’s that thing that we can’t shake, get better or get rid of.

It can be that nagging challenge that we have been not addressing with current health condition or that bothersome item that has not been dealt with. It may even be our inability to get out of that rut.

Whatever our albatross is – it needs to go.

So make a plan, focus and that albatross may as well keep the tens on, because a beat down is coming, and the feathers will fly!
