Hope in today’s society is the number one issue that needs Encouragement….Encouragement is to Hope as vital as Oxygen is to the Soul. Encouragement is the FUEL to Hope.

“Ninety-five percent of the people who hear, understand, and agree with a principle do not have the ability to apply it… because they do not have the necessary resources and emotional strength to attain and retain this new concept. “                                     Stanford University

Why does motivation change some people permanently and others only temporarily?

Motivation is only Temporary….it is like eating, once you’ve eaten a great meal…you feel like you can never eat another bite, you are so stuffed you are feeling miserable and you promise yourself that you will never do that again…then about 3-4 or 5 hours later you find yourself hungry again. This is a guarantee…Our bodies need fuel to survive.

Just the same as our Motivations and our Hopes they need to be watered daily if not some days minute by minute.

Why is it that many people start on a project, and begin to see how it can benefit their lives, they get all excited because they are beginning to achieving some great results, ONLY…. after a period of time they begin to revert back to their old “Settling” lifestyle…Reverting back to their old way of thinking and soon to their old way of living.

We hear a great idea, read a great quote, and watch a great and inspiring video and we say “I can do that”….. So then the adventure begins. Then out of the blue we are caught unaware and we encounter a negative situation…

Whether its…

• There’s so much to learn,,,
• We don’t have the time…
• People don’t believe in us…
• Its taking to long…
• What ever the excuse…we lose our enthusiasm and passion and we are back to square one.

Passion is described in the Dictionary as “a strong emotion, an ardent love, zeal, an eager desire.”

Men and women that have reached the mountaintops of their success, have a passion for life and are willing to give it their all and be the best that they can be. They are willing to pay the price in their own character, values and outlook to achieve the results that they know are theirs for the taking.

“Misdirected passion ultimately becomes an obsession, and there is a substantial difference between having a “passion” for something and being “obsessed” with something. Passion is positive, controllable, and tremendously energizing. An obsession is negative and destructive. The person with a passion for what he or she does becomes a perk performer. Those who have an obsession with it become workaholics. People with a passion do what they are doing out of love for the people they’re doing it for and for the results they expect to obtain. The person with an obsession, who becomes a workaholic, will work out of fear and or greed or denial.”                                            Zig Ziglar

• Mike Robbins: Love Your “Flaws” (huffingtonpost.com)

Hopefully if you’re reading this article…you have pondered a dream or two at one time or another. You might of found yourself day-dreaming while in the middle of a hectic day when life seems out of control, you might of found yourself staring into your computer screen, not really getting anything accomplished. Or while stopped at a light and your mind drifts off to another time.

Your mind begins to wander…thinking of a day when….thinking of something else you could be doing…all the while you feel trapped with no where to go.

Of course you HAVE to work to get the pay check for your family. To help pay for the Braces, House, Food, Y Membership, Cars. All of these are just a fact of life today, but I would like you to take a minute and think of…. The What Ifs.

What if… you were able to open that store that you always dreamed of…

What if you could take a class or two, to work towards that degree that you always wanted…

What if you could find a way to make a good living while staying at home…

What ideas for a new product are swimming around you mind?

What product needs to be created to make your life easier along with millions of others?

In your minds eye…what does your best days look like…what would you be doing differently?

I ask all these questions to get you to DREAM again.

As we become adults our DREAMS vanish…The reality of LIFE takes over and one day we can look up and 10 years have gone by. And then we realize that we are still in the Same Job doing the Same Thing with no where to go from here.

Well I say…Lets start a REVOLUTION …..Within our mind and our lives….. Let’s begin to give ourselves the time and permission to DREAM again. Begin to ask yourselves some of the questions above.

• Flood you mind with thoughts of the possible,

• Stir the waters of your thinking.

• Open the Dam and let all the Dreams and Hopes…. that have buried deep within you, begin to come alive again.

As life moves on and we get into our routines, getting up at the same time, eating the same types of foods, driving the same route everyday, doing the same work day in and day out.

The biggest challenge and struggle that we all have to deal with is Complacency. We get comfortable in our daily routines… The routines that get us to work on time, the routines that get the kids off to school, just the daily things that we do without even thinking about it.

As time continues on we develop a RUT, the more we walk the same path the Rut gets deeper and deeper till one day we realize that we can not see anything around us… because we are so deep into our own RUT.

Break FREE today….Break free from the Subtleness of Complacency.

Let your mind DREAM, stare out that window, listen to the birds sing, sit in a quiet place even for just a moment and let the possibilities flow.

You will become a better person, with an excitement for life again, and an awe and wonder of the possibilities that are before you.

Life will take a turn for the better….Starting with your DREAMS

leadership traits

As we are developing into Tomorrows Leaders, into the leaders that our teams need as well as our families, I would like us to look at a couple of Leadership Traits that I believe are necessary as we move forward in that direction.

First let me say that many people claim to be leaders, many claim that they have all the leadership traits and qualities that are needed and that they should be the one being followed….but the truth is…no one is following them.

One of the greatest victories that any leader can accomplish is victory over self. This is an everyday occurrence and a battle that is won in the minutes and hours of the day….not just in the great decisions that need to be made.

Every day we need to be working on our selves and battle the temptation to think of ourselves more highly than we are. Learning the lessons on leadership is not always easy. Most of the time the lessons that we are trying to instill into others are the same lessons that we had to learn the hard way. But I would say that this makes us more approachable and sensitive to the issues that others are facing.

Plato said it best when he said, “The first and best victory is to conquer self.”  Ralph Stayer, president of Johnsonville Foods, wrote: “In most situations, I am the problem. My mentalities, my pictures, my expectations form the biggest obstacles to my success.”

Many times our enemy lies within. Who we are determines how we see others. If we can get our act together then we will be in a position to help others.

An interesting thought is…we don’t see others as they are we see them as we are…if I am an untrusting person…then I will see you as untrusting. If I am a negative person tending to look at the negative instead of the positive, then I see you as a negative person…(and two negatives repel each other).

As a leader if I can fix myself first, if I can get victory for Donna Rios then the odds are higher that I will be able to help fix others also.

If I can’t fix myself, the odds are high I will never be able to add value to and help others. So developing ourselves, doing the soul searching, and looking in the mirror will always help us be better people and leaders for the ones doing the following.

People who are unaware of who they are and what they do and how they respond often damage relationships with others.

People in leadership have a tendency to examine someone else and ask the question…what is wrong with that person? Why aren’t they jumping on board? Why can’t they see the bigger picture? Why are they always complaining? This is the way most leaders react because it is easy to teach Leadership skills but it is much Harder to Model Leadership Qualities…..

Our actions and words will eventually point us toward having a reputation for having integrity or not. As business people…desiring to make a difference…desiring to leave our mark, our position requires us to be more alert, more careful and more empathetic than ever before.

People are looking for a leader. Will you be able to rise to the challenge? Will you put the time in to develop yourself into the best person that you can be?

Some questions to consider…..

Make it a great one my friends,

Do what you love and have fun…

Struggling with making money in MLM but still doing EVERYTHING
your upline is telling you? Stop the bleeding and stop the pain!
I Can Help:   http://MLMLeadingSecrets.com

Do you know what General Electric, Hewlett Packard, IBM, and Microsoft have in common? These innovative American Companies all originated during server economical downturns.

Challenging times have served as catalysts for centuries, stirring up the creativity, innovation and accomplishments that we take part in today. But many times when times get tuff and things don’t seem to turn out the way that we thought, we tend to hunker down and put our dreams, hopes, and plans on hold, always waiting for the right time to come once again. We begin to think that if we can just hold on, maybe we can make it through another day, another month, another year.

But this type of thinking begins to develop a Survivalist Mentality.

This is where we stop dreaming, stop planning and stop hoping. We are just trying to maintain the status quo to keep our head above water and just break even.

To be in any type of personally owned business, our dream is not to just break even. All our hope is in breaking through to a new level of accomplishment, to acquire more influence, to rise to new levels of success.

We were born to be “More Than A Conquer.” Yes we all go through the trying times when it seems like the world can be against us. Yet we can just hunker down and wait it out, we can just hang on, and we can just survive. But I want to encourage you to go out and conquer that storm that’s in front of you.

Yes we see many negative news reports that we begin to worry. But I want to encourage you to

begin to think about Thriving and not just surviving. I know that we need to be wise and well balanced, but I don’t believe that we are to pull back and not pursue our dreams, not expect increase, not believe that favor and influence is upon us, all the while just holding on and waiting it out.

When the tuff economical times hit you and your business…Don’t think that you have to hold on and just try to make it through…NO…Dig your heels in the sand and say: “I will not just survive. I will Thrive…”

Make it a great One

To Your Success My Friend
