Rest and relaxation are important, but have you ever put thought into how to relax?

I hear people often say that they just don’t know where to start.

My answer is SIMPLE – Just Start Somewhere.

To achieve extraordinary, you have to sacrifice the ordinary! In other words, to achieve a life of your dreams, you have to make hard choices and forego things that give you pleasure today. What are you willing to sacrifice?

Committing to an intention means that you have decided to change yourself in some way and it is not going to be easy. Being very clear with what you want allows you to anchor yourself whenever you get lost. When you become the master of your mind, you control your reality.

We aren’t born with discipline, it’s a learned behavior and requires daily practice and repetition. 

Our lives are filled with ambiguity and the multitude of options we're presented throughout our lives attribute to procrastination in many cases. You have to stay committed to action because success isn't about motivation coming to you. Your commitment is the catalyst enabling your motivation for future actions.

The truth is everyone struggles with accepting change and understanding the value of change, especially when there is certain happiness attached to the present, but change is necessary for our development. It is necessary to embrace change and start over. By doing so we will reach our goals of life through continuous learning and development.

Take a moment every day to stop what you are doing, celebrate, and thoroughly enjoy the moment. The joy is in the journey which will make the destination more fulfilling. When you learn to celebrate your life every day, you begin to develop an attitude of gratitude which shifts your entire perspective on life.

The journey from failure to success is not an easy one but it is totally worth all your efforts. So, even if you fail often get up and NEVER stop trying. Don’t try to hide from it! Hiding away from failure will keep you away from success!! Brave the storm and walk the path, you WONT regret it.

In order to develop balance, like all things in life, it will take time and experience. Just as we exercise to strengthen our bodies, you have to train your mind. So, out of curiosity, what is the key to your happiness? What do you do that keeps you balanced with the pressures, stress and anxieties of the world?
