Daily Boost — Motivation and Personal Growth

Listen to the messages that are floating around in your mind. They are trying to get your attention.

Universal messages. Hear Them Now.

I’m not sure how you feel about the Universe and how things work in the world, but does the Universe speak to you?

I can’t tell you if the ‘Universe’ stands alone or if ‘God’ created the ‘Universe’ and runs the show. That’s above my pay grade. 

What I can say is this. 

We live and breathe every day in a world that is ganging up on us and trying to get our attention. The question is, are you listening?

While there are many ways people seek to receive messages of guidance as we make life decisions, my favorite has always been events that occur in triplicate. If something happens three times, I pay attention.

Call me hard-headed, distracted, or set in my ways, but life has taught me that wisdom tends to come in whispers - usually when our thoughts are screaming in our head and drowning out our dreams.

Now, let me be clear...

A friend calling three times to go out on the town doesn’t count in my book.

Snoozing your alarm clock three times isn’t a message from the Universe that you should sleep in more.

The grocery store being out of your favorite chips three times is not a sign that you should go on a diet. 

All that is what they call the “stuff that happens while you’re alive.”

So what counts? 

1) Seemingly random situations and people that happen in quick succession or at the same time. 

2) They are different in their approach and appearance, yet each delivers a similar message. At first, it may seem disconnected, but in relation to the other messages, you begin to notice.

3) The message you receive is likely something that has been on your mind, keeping you awake a night, and speaks to you. Even though you may not immediately recognize its impact, you find yourself slightly redirected in your search for answers. Your path altered.

While this is undoubtedly only my description of how I know it when the Universe is ganging up on me, I have learned to allow space for a message to arrive. Whether I realize the impact or not, I have also learned that it always motivates my decisions, choices, and future actions. In other words, things change with little effort.

My journey is about breaking from the status quo, exploring the possibilities of life, and going with the flow. I bet the Universe is ganging up on your right now - if you’ll only pay attention.

Does Your Life Have a Happy Ending

If you could write a book about the person you have become today, would it have a happy ending?

A good portion of my day is interacting with clients around the world. They are usually upbeat, open to problem-solving, and seeking my advice to help them. Or, as they would say, “help me get out of my way and get my act together. That’s where writing a book comes to mind and a good question from me -

“Okay. Before we begin, if you were to write a book about yourself in the future, would it have a happy ending?”

Their answer is always, ”Yes! That’s why I’m here today.”

My next question is, “If you were to write your book today, what would the answer be?”

“Hmm… I would say average. Not great. Not bad. Certainly not a book anybody would read.”

As the conversation continues, I make these points:

1) All of us get in our own way. That’s how we learn. And we all have our act together until we recognize that we want another act. That’s called growth.

2) People who live an average life almost always spend more time chasing squirrels and shiny objects than focusing on actions that create the consistent results they want. It's an exhausting way to live.

3) People who live successfully think more like business people. They implement actions that get results, are sustainable, and grow the economics of the business. In other words, they figure out what works and keep doing it. There is no drifting in the wind.

Make your own way, figure out what works, and do it again. Simple.

Speaking of simple…

If the book you would write about yourself isn’t who you are, you can start making changes today. That’s how you get a happy ending.

Stop Living Somebody Else's Dreams

All I have ever wanted to do is have fun, impact people in a mostly positive way, make them laugh, have a great family and friends, make some money, and not take life too seriously. 

Simple enough. 

But in the over-complicated and widely distracting monkey-see-monkey-do world we live in, it's easy to get what you want and still end up with a superficially satisfying life. In fact, I would suggest such a life is easy to achieve and perfect for anybody willing to get out of bed and join the world. 

Life is averagely good. 

But what if your inner voice is screaming, "there MUST be MORE?"

Well, there is more. But only if you create it. That may scare you, but it won't if you realize and accept one thing -

Someone else has created every single experience you have in your day-to-day life. 

Somebody else imagined building the city you call home. 

Somebody else imagined designing the car you drive. 

Somebody else imagined the phone in your pocket. 

That fact is, somebody else woke up and decided to turn their dreams into reality - so that you could live your life inside of their dreams. While that may be fine, maybe it's time that you let others do the same with your dreams? After all, if they can do it, you can do it - right?

While there is more I can and will cover on this topic, there are three items that a fully actualized adult can do to create any reality of their choosing:

1) Understand that all success begins with internally motivated actions. You get to decide what you want and you can lead the way. The only permission required is yours.

2) The level of happiness and success you attain in life is determined by your ability to mine your thoughts, reveal your inner desires, accept them as your truth, and hold yourself accountable for creating what is essential to you in your life. 

3) Every day, you should take time to discern what is important and likely to have a profound effect on your success, survival, and well-being. Then, narrow the focus to what is absolutely necessary and extremely important; essential.

When you dedicate daily focus to building such a strong level of inner understanding, you will instantly begin creating your new world - and others can start living inside YOUR dreams.

Levels of Competence

When I was young, stupid, and wondering when I would understand life, I often turned to my friend, Larry, for a road map. He always seemed to have what I needed - until the day he passed the torch. He knew I needed more. That’s when he introduced me to Zig Ziglar’s States of Competence:

1) Stage One is where we begin. We are “Unconscious Incompetent.” We don’t know what we don’t know. Yup.

2) Stage Two is called “Conscious Incompetent.” I spent a lot of time there. I used to say, “I have no idea what I’m doing - but at least I admit it.”

3) Stage Three is “Unconscious Competent.” I see that in my work. People who have no idea how good they are.

4) Stage Four is “Conscious Competent.” That was my goal. I wanted to know what I was doing - and KNOW it! 

Most people continue to another level some call “Conscious competence of unconscious competence.” The ability to recognize and develop Unconscious Competence in others.

You will become who you were meant to be when you learn how to get there, do the work, and recognize your achievement.

Removing blocks takes nothing more than commitment and action. That’s called passion. Nothing can stand in the way of your passion.

Understanding and Eliminating Frustration

When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked?  

I learned a long time ago that getting blocked is an everyday occurrence. The bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could either live with endless frustrations or find a better way. It came down to understanding:

1) Blocks have nothing to do with who you are. Self-inflicted or caused by others, they still have nothing to do with you as a person. 

2) If you want something, there is always a way to get it. Always. You may not like the path. Your ego may get in the way. It may scare you. There is still a way to get what you want.

3) Removing blocks from your life takes nothing more than commitment and action. That’s called passion. No block can stand up to passion. 

The next time frustration gets in your way, blow it off and keep moving. There is always a way to get what you want

What Successful People Do

If you study people who have had success in any area of their life, you will find they have much in common. 

Not only do they follow a set of rules, but they also follow those rules no matter how much life gets in the way.

What are those rules?

The person who has the strongest "Why" wins.

The person who shows up wins.

The person who shows up on time wins.

The person who is most persistent wins.

The person show never assumes wins.

The person who is the best at what they do wins.

The person who plans and documents their journey and interactions wins.

The person who never gives up total control to others wins.

The person who acceptances responsibility for themselves wins.

The person who serves the most wins.

The person who is grateful for everything wins.

The actions you take automatically become the life you experience. It's essential to be mindful of where you are heading.

What's the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

Live a Simple Life Even if Your is Complicated

Way back in 2005, when Motivation To Move began, I found myself focused on creating the world's simplest success recipe when I said, "Stand up. Take a step. REPEAT!" My way of thinking told me that everything else would take care of itself if that's all I did. It has proven me correct again and again.

But, say that you get yourself moving and are having challenges maintaining forward momentum?

In The One Thing, Gary Keller writes, "Success is sequential, not simultaneous." In other words, it's not about doing everything at one time. It's about having one success at a time. 

When you Stand up, take a step, and repeat, you are already guaranteed to have more success than the average human. But the magic happens when you define your focus. Gary Keller also has a suggestion that will help. Ask yourself one question…

"What's the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"

Yes. It is a simple question, and you may attempt to complicate your answer. Please don't do it. Take the time to find an absolute simple focus. The reward for your persistence in simple will be massive progress and satisfaction.--

Anything can and will change in an instant. Knowing that grants you immense power over your destiny - especially if it's self-inflicted with you in control.

Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste

A few years ago, the world changed when we were introduced to CorinaVirus. It was as if we were racing down the Interstate at 85 miles-per-hour, slammed on our breaks, and directed off the nearest exit on an undefined detour. It all seemed to happen in an instant.

The pandemic caused real pain and loss for some. Fear and stress for others. Still, as surreal as it was, it wasn't long before most people began to notice the craziness of our previous lives replaced with a 'new normal' - one that felt more like a 'new nothing.' 

Much to our surprise, life slowed to a crawl, schedules changed, and we found contentment by not chasing every shiny object that life presented. The pandemic pause caused people to reevaluate life from the inside out. While it happens all the time, this time, we noticed it.

How often have you found yourself in an impossible situation that ended with one action? 

You paid off debt, quit a job, and said goodbye to a bad relationship?

How often have you decided to try something new, and the past instantly disappeared?

Did you decide to move into a new home, start your own business, or return to school?

How often have the worst pains and biggest joys been the catalyst for an exciting new beginning?

A death, wedding, or the birth of a new child?

While some situations in life are unpredictable, the lessons learned and wisdom gleamed remind us that anything can and will change instantly. Knowing that grants you immense power over your destiny - especially if it's self-inflicted and you are in control.
