Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor. - Tammy S. Ernst

 

 

 

Tammy Ernst sounds like she trained at the same martial arts school as me. This quote from Tammy is very similar to the "mantra" we stated at the beginning and end of each class in our dojo.

Shiken haramitsu daikoumyo

This sacred Buddhist mantra in Japanese is taught and used by all members of the Bujinkan Dojo. The meaning as explained by my Sensei when I started training was:

"In every encounter or experience in life, we have the chance to gain total enlightenment. It's up to us to determine if those experiences are positive or negative."

This phrase became my mantra for life. This is how I like to look at the experiences I have in life. I try to look at all of them as positive as I can.

You can see how Tammy's quote is so similar.

Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor.

We choose whether we will be better or bitter. We choose to let our experiences break us or make us. We choose to be the Victim or the Victor. It's a tough choice for some, easy for many. Unfortunately, most people choose to be the Victim. They choose to let the tough life experiences break them, they choose to be bitter.

What do you choose? Are you a Victim or a Victor? Are you going to let life's experiences break you or make you. Will you choose bitterness or Betterness!

Join me in choosing to be a Victor. Join me in letting life Make Us into what we want to be, Better!

3 Steps to Creativity

G.I.T.

GRAB anything that grabs you emotionally.

Write, notate, record thoughts, ideas, expression, experience.

INTERROGATE to find the truth.

Why are you grabbing it? Why are you thinking of this? What causes it to effect you.

TRANSFORM to something you can use.

It's the Aha moment when you realize what you can use that idea for. Transform the thought, the idea into something you can use.

Bob's Bio Shows His Creativity

For over thirty years Bob Stromberg has been delighting audiences of all ages with his perfect blend of stand-up, story and shtick. Always clean, his presentation is a disarming healthy blend of knee-slapping comedy and wholesome encouragement.

Bob’s facilitates surprising laughter with an arsenal of gifts including physical comedy, a non-threatening touch of audience participation and yes…even hand shadows, which the London Metro described as “stunning”. Add to this hilarious and tender stories from his own experience and audiences leave amazed, refreshed and different than when they came.

He has been a featured and favorite emcee for many large stadium and arena gatherings. He has written Finding the Magnificent in Lower Mundane, the award winning, beautifully illustrated family story The Miracle at Stinky Bay and the best selling Why Geese Fly Farther Than Eagles. He is known by many for his appearances on the awarding winning TV comedy Bananas.

Comedic Creativity

Perhaps most notably, he coauthored and starred in the mega-hit theatrical production Triple Espresso, ( A Highly Caffeinated Comedy). From it’s start in Minneapolis, Triple Espresso, described by the Los Angeles Times as “…a triple jolt of inspired craziness” grew to ten casts, has been seen by over two million people in sixty cities from Seattle to The West End of London and become the longest running stage production in the history of San Diego, Minneapolis and the entire state of Iowa. In his role, the Chicago Sun Times described Bob as “…a mesmerizing physical comedian.

Spring Cleaning - I was reminded by a text yesterday about the need for Spring Cleaning.

Yes, it's springtime and spring is a time in of renewal, rebirth, revitalizing.

Spring Cleaning is almost a ritual at this time of year - as we often need to look at the things around us and think, "Do they still work in our gardens, our homes, and in our lives.

The Spring is a great time to review our goals and if you made them, New Year's Resolutions. If you made New Year's Resolutions, most people have forgotten them already, or have given up on them by now.

Have you?

If you set goals for the first quarter, where are you?

Are you almost complete? Are you still tracking them with your action plan?

Maybe it's spring cleaning time in your life.

Look at your life. What parts of your life, your garden of ideas and dreams, need some weeding?

What closet in your mental house - your passions, need cleaning out?

If you have plants, products, "Stuff" that doesn't make you better, move you forward, make you happy - maybe it's time to remove that from your place?

As the person texting reminded me yesterday. Celebrate the spring. It's nature's way of starting over and seeing the brightness and beauty it brings.

I'm grateful for my life and my ability to grow. Sometimes growth requires change. Cleaning out our closets and our minds helps to provide room for that growth.

Take time this month to review what makes you happy, what makes you grow and what doesn't. Let go of that which holds you back. Grow!

Have a Great Spring, my friends. Go out and make today a great day.

Do have some cleaning to do? Do you need someone to help you review what you want to do with your life, where you want to be? Maybe you need someone to hold you accountable. I know I could have used that type of person as I started working on my Spring Cleaning.

I offer coaching services for people that want to gain an advantage over the clutter of life and help you set your goals and keep you accountable as you strive to achieve those goals.

Check out my Coaching Page at Goal Getting Podcast.com / Services to find a plan that works for you and let's start cleaning out the limiting beliefs and things that are holding you back from the beauty your garden can bring.

Tanner Gers

 



I met Tanner online in one of the Facebook groups I frequent. Tanner, like me, is a motivational speaker and podcaster. I heard Tanner's story on several podcasts and I was impressed and inspired by Tanner's ability to overcome the obstacles put in front of him.

After hearing Tanner's story, I wanted to interview him for Goal Getting Podcast so you could hear him, learn from him and understand that we don't have to let obstacles keep us from achieving our goals.

I was attending a National Speaker's Association (@NSASpeaker ) Video Lab in Tempe, Arizona. I posted I was in Tempe on my Facebook page and Tanner, a Facebook friend, connected on Facebook and said he would love to meetup while I was in town, since he lived nearby.

I met up with Tanner and his lovely wife for dinner and we went back to my hotel. We both had been wanting to speak to each other and interview each other on our podcasts. So, we did!.  We met in the hotel lobby, with the music playing and other NSA members chatting in the background.

Listen to Tanner's story on Goal Getting Podcast.

* How he quiets the inner voices.

* How giving forgiveness made his life better.

* How to use breathing to help make your life better.
