Happy Birthday To You?

Life Is Good
Life Is Good

Some celebrate birthdays, some don’t. Doesn’t really matter what others do for their birthday.

What matters is what you do, whether it’s birthdays, exercise, diet, learning, work, cleaning, etc.

What you do does matter. Doesn’t it?

Sunday (like three days ago) I shot a 51-second You Tube video, since today is my 51st birthday.

Do you think I can hold my legs parallel a second for each year? Click here to see.

PS. It doesn’t matter if you click on it or not, what matters is that at 51, I can do what’s on that video.

You Good With That?

Life Is Simple. Help Your Neighbor.

Find it challenging to get motivated?

Or maybe getting motivated isn’t the challenge for you, is it the staying motivated part that challenges you?

And then there are always people who can get and stay motivated, but not for the long haul. And by the way, the long way is the shortcut.

You must be able to kick your own butt.

If you don’t have the guts, passion, determination, or any other ingredient you need, to kick your own butt, your big dreams will remain elusive.

These five daily blogs are the foundation of a community, of a movement. And as this “community” grows, we will all find creative ways to increasingly be here for each other. You good with that?

Who Motivates You To Change?

World Class? Prove It!
World Class? Prove It!

Change is the only constant.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Mostly, we hate change. But yet we are surrounded by it. At work. At home. On the news. In our face. Everywhere.

And deep down inside, we know that change has many positive benefits, and with hard work, we CAN change.

But who pushes you?

Who gets in your face and reminds you you can’t quit?

Is it you?  Do you coach yourself?

And if you are self-coached, where did you learn it, from a book, a seminar, a show?  Let’s be real.

Your biggest and best change came when someone believed you could do what you didn’t believe you could do. The “coach” got in your face and pushed you, and rode you, and drove you to excellence.

Who’s coaching you now?

Or don’t you care anymore?

Prove it.
