Start Your Transformation Now


Here’s another in the “Five Random Thoughts” Series. 


OK, full transparency, I was pressed for time this weekend and traveling so I put another random thought episode, and given the feedback, it appears many of you guys are loving these.


So, the five random thoughts this week are:

1) When you run your life by emotions you’ll find yourself in the ditch.

I used to find that it was hard for me to follow through and one of my coaches pointed out, “You don’t follow through with your commitments because when your feelings change so do your commitments.” This was a huge life-altering ah-ha moment. And, if you’re not following through in life perhaps you are the same as I once was?


2) Your life is this way or that way because you tell yourself life is this way or that way.

Life is a reflection of you. Kahlil Gibran once said, “Words are but simple dripping from the mind.” So, how do you tell yourself that “life is.” Exactly as you tell yourself will be your experience of life!


3) Mastery Is repetition and sacrifice

These are all simple and this one is as simple as the others but so simple many of us miss. 

What have you “mastered” in life? We live in a world of mediocrity and most of us have “mastered” little. Most of us just get by in life. The title is obvious, to create mastery in anything it requires repetition, and most of us get that yet what most of us don’t like is that it also requires sacrifice. For everything in life, there is a price. And to be masterful at anything you must pay the price for it.


4) Changing your life is very simple but requires devotion

Change is easy. Becoming who you are now was not hard. You didn’t fight to become who you ARE, you learned it. Like the last random thought, you become who you are with repetition. 

It’s EASY to do most things with repetition and where and what is your repetition?


5) If I don’t have humbleness I lose everything.

It took me MANY years to get this. I got it when I tried to quote what I was taught. “The common man is hooked to other men, the spiritual warrior is hooked to infinity. 

MEANING: If I lose mySELF in my ego and I then am not humble I then lose “who” I am, which is a spiritual being. There is obviously a lot more and humbleness is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less. And, it requires that you place you either above or below anyone.


Transformational Takeaway:

  1. When you run your life by your emotions you’ll find yourself in the ditch.
  2. Your life is “this way” or “that way” because you tell yourself life is this way or that way.
  3. Mastery is repetition and sacrifice.
  4. Changing your life is very simple but requires devotion.
  5. If I don’t have humbleness I lose everything.
