1 (One) Minute Wonder

If you're waiting for all the answers before you choose to upgrade your life it will never happen... So what can you do?

How kind are you to yourself? No matter how thoughtful you think you may be towards other people, if you think badly of yourself, you are setting yourself up to under achieve. Yes, do reflect on how you can do even better, but also give yourself credit for what you have achieved, and how far you've come.

How often do you go sit in the past and stay there? Does your mind continually wander back to a hurtful event or conversation? Be honest with yourself about this, does it continue to hurt?

Brendon Burchard spoke on a similar topic and suggested the following simple, yet effective affirmation. He said "today you have a choice".

That affirmation brings you back to the present moment. Make a note of it: "today I have a choice!". When your mind wanders back to a past hurt, say it out loud. Say it 10 times everytime the story comes to mind. Let the affirmation help extinguish the story's I fluency and power to hurt you. Remember that today you have a choice. What do you choose your day to look like, today?

Has your life become very circular, doing the same things day after day, year after year? Have you become too comfortable and stopped exploring life? When was the last time you took a risk? I'm not referring to reckless behavior, but decisively doing something different, outside the normal everyday of life. When was the last time you spoke with someone you don't already know? Speaking with a stranger is easier for some, but not others. That could be an important challenge you accept. If you don't explore life, it will keep on going, but not change too much. However, you will miss out on so much that life has to offer. What would you choose for your future? Your future life needs your input to bring it into being. Are you ready to explore? What do you have to lose?

What are two words we must master as part of our success? Listen to the podcast to hear more....

All of our thoughts, feelings, no feelings and emotions, lock us into a particular reality. Is your current reality working for you? The question then is, what else could you choose as a reality if you knew you had a choice?

How many times have you stopped yourself from bringing your ideas to life because someone else couldn't see it? Grow through the challenge.

We like to get busy doing, achieving, and setting goals, but taking time to just be in the moment is equally important. When was the last time you took a moment to soak in the beauty and inspiration that surrounds you?

I've encouraged you in previous episodes to think about your big dreams, but today, I'm asking you to think small. Big dreams change your life, but figuring out how to bring those big ideas to life, can seem daunting. Big dreams don't materialise out of nowhere. Little steps make the big dreams happen. One of the people that inspire me is Brendon Burchard, a leading motivational coach.

We all do it, or have done it... give our time to people, places, projects, ideas or things that do little to move your life forward. Time is so precious! How would you feel if one day you woke up to realize that you ran out of time and no longer had the opportunity to do the things you would have loved to do? You no longer had time to put your ideas into action? You've made and kept commitments to other people, how might your life change if you made just one commitment to yourself?
