Your Future Starts Today

Your Future Starts Today

“The past does not define you, the present does.”

Jillian Michaels, fitness guru     

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your future starts today

Trying to live in the past keeps you locked into your yesterdays and limits your tomorrows.

There are things that are from your past that should be packed for your life’s journey. They are our good memories, by those who are close to you and the positive experiences. The things that you pack for your lives journey are those that bring pleasure to you and will warm your hearts on a cold day and your values to guild your journey.

As important as it is to pack your bags for your lives journey you have to be careful not to over pack.

There are things that are best to be left behind you as you go forward on your life’s journey. Take the bad memories of your past and put them into a box and pack them away and put them into storage. When you put your bad memories into a box and store them you will lighten your load and renew your energy.

As you start to move forward you will find that a small group of people will resent your progress. They fear that you will move forward to bigger opportunities and as you do they feel that they will be left behind. That fear will be manifested in their behavior, they will everything possible to ensure that they you stay exactly where your at today.

That person wants to transfer their insecurities to you and try to make you feel guilty about your ambitions to your life’s journey of fulfilling your goals and dreams.  Unfortunately that person will be able to make the journey with you.     

Your future starts today . . . . and your tomorrow can be anything that you believe it can be. In order to take your lives journey of a better tomorrow you will have to leave the baggage of the past behind you and move forward into your future with less baggage.

Running a Different Race

Motivational Power Quote

Running a Different Race

“Nice Guy may appear to finish last,

but usually they are running a different race.”

Ken Blanchard, author

  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Running a different race

Run the race of purpose of effort with integrity where your actions speak for you. People with judge you on the level of your integrity, your efforts and your results not on what you were going to do. 

Having a purpose gives you a direction for the race you run and for your life.

You’re not running a race of someone else’s standards or someone else’s race; it’s your race to run.

The race you’re running is the race that you choose to run. You choose the standards for your integrity and the terms of the race.

When you’re running a difference race there will be times that you feel that you’re the only running the race, and many times you are. Your running a race of integrity and a race of purpose.

When you run a race purpose with integrity as you get closed to the finish line you’ll find that you ran a different race and the dissenters that you encountered along the way have been left behind.
