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 daikoumyoThis 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!

Act with more courage. Don't allow fear to turn you away from opportunities. Risk more.Take more chances. Fail more. Laugh more and love more.- Darren Hardy
Thanks Darren Hardy for sharing these great thoughts. I'm competing in the Toastmasters International Speech Competition. By the time this episode airs I will have completed the Area contest for the competition. I won the Cable Car Toastmasters club competition and move on to our Area competition. My speech is entitled Passion Has A Place. My speech is about Living a Passionate Life
Finding this quote really hit home with me and made me think of these as the 7 Keys to a Passionate Life.
1. Act with more courage. - The important part of this quote is the word Act. Action is what defines passion. Passion without action is just desire. It is just a wish, a thought. Acting on your dreams, your desires, takes courage. What is courage, you ask. You did ask didn't you? I thought you did. Courage is the ability to do what others won't. Being the one to step out into the fight, the fray when it seems like the odds are against you. Act with more courage in life.
[bctt tweet="Passion without action is just desire. #passion #opportunity ~ Tony Woodall"]
2. Don't allow fear to turn you away from opportunities. - When opportunities come their way, many people are afraid to take them on. Fear is a killer of opportunity. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of poverty. These all prevent us from taking the opportunities that are presented to us and we lose the chance to be more than we are now.
3. Risk more. - Risk is not just a game. Have you ever played the game Risk? We used to play Risk when I was a kid. OK, I didn't play so much. I watched my friend, Larry play after he beat me and most other kids that we played with. Risk is not a game, but maybe we should treat it like a game. People are often risk adverse. They are afraid of taking risks. But risks are necessary in life if you want to grow. Life is about risks. The more risk you are willing to take in your life, your career, even in love, you get farther than those that refuse to take risks. Don't be someone that settles for mediocre.
4. Take more chances. - We have many chances in life to do many things. We must be willing to take a few more chances to when they come our way. I am going to change this part of the quote to be Make More Chances. What I mean by this is we don't have to hang around and be ready to take chances when they come our way. What we have to do is go out and make our chances. I thought about this on my walk this morning. My dog, Sophie, takes me for a walk on weekend mornings. It's her favorite thing to do. We did 5 miles this morning. I usually stop her at 4 but I was in a walking mood, too, so we went to five. Sophie is a Yorkie, a Yorkshire Terrier weighing in at 5 pounds. That's a lot of walking for people, but in Yorkie steps, its a looooong way.
During the walk I was thinking about my job as community manager and other social media jobs and that these jobs were not even in existence 10 years ago. There are so many careers that didn't exist when I was growing up. The same is true for you. I was thinking if you have a passion, something you want and love to do and there isn't a job or career for that, then we should do what we can to create the industry, the job, the position that will fill the passion. Basically, Make More Chances.
5. Fail more. - Failure has always been thought of in a negative light. It's bad to fail. You're a loser if you fail. One thing that is known about most successful people is that they have failed many times before they became successful. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb often talks about how he failed 10,000 times before he created the light bulb the made him a success. When we talk to many start up founders, we hear stories about the failures they endured as they started building their ideas. It's important to fail, and fail fast. Failure isn't negative, failure is educational. You have the opportunity to learn what works and what doesn't. Fail more.
6. Laugh more. - Life is short, enjoy it. Laughter is the best medicine was and probably still is a column that was in Readers Digest magazine when I was growing up, Laughter has been medically proven to be life enhancing. The more laughter we can have in our life, the better we will feel and the healthier we will be. One of my favorite things is to listen to Baby Giggles. Laughing babies are big on the Internet. Everyone loves baby giggles and laughter. They bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart. Go out and find something funny and start laughing.
7. Love more. - Love, like laughter is medically proven to be life enhancing. Finding someone with the same passions, the same dreams, beliefs is critical to find a lasting love. When you find that person, you should share the love and love as much as you can. Spend time being with the ones you love, doing the things you love. Live more, Love More.
Take these 7 Keys and unlock your life of passion.
Go Out Today and Act with more courage. Don't allow fear to turn you away from opportunities.Risk more. Take more chances. Fail more. Laugh more and love more.

My good friend, Jamil Jama @JamilJama, shared this great quote from John Ruskin. This is a very powerful quote because it defines what our ultimate reward should be for the work we do to achieve the goals. The result of what we strive for really isn't for the goal itself but for what it makes us. When we achieve our goals, we get the object of that goal, but the greater reward is what we become from achieving that goal.
When you get the goals we set, we get the feelings of satisfaction, fulfillment and accomplishment. We gain higher levels of confidence. We build a stronger character. The greatest benefit and reward is the belief that we can achieve any goal that we set. We realize that we can be who or what we set out to be. We are powerful and important. We have become a success. We have become a greater person. We have become a Goal Getter!
When we work hard and complete the tasks we set for ourselves, we Become what we want to be.

My good friend from Atlanta, Ron Broussard, is a great motivator and says to start believing what you want to happen will happen. The founder of Stretchyourself.org , Ron leads a lot of people to achieve their goals. Ron is positive and exciting to be around. He shares a lot of great quotes and this is one that really resonates with me.
I like this quote because we often worry too much about whether our goals will happen. We spend our valuable time struggling to try to figure out if what we want to happen will. We need to stop worrying and just start believing that it will.
If we are doing the action steps we set up in our action plan and we follow our maintenance worksheet to ensure we will get them, then we just need to start believing that what we are doing will result in them being achieved.
Worrying wastes energy. Working the action plan takes the energy and directs it towards the successful achievement of our goals. When we focus that energy into the goals, we can do nothing but start believing that we are going to get the goals we set.

Thank you Darren for sharing this truth. Your attitude and your actions are all you can control and as we are striving to achieve our #WorkOnWellness goal, we have to accept this and learn it, embed it in our mind, in our hearts. When we start getting frustrated and feeling like we don't want to go to the gym, or eat properly, we need to remember that you can control your attitude and your actions. You can control these two things. Yes, you can control that feeling of negativity, those feelings of desire for the donut. We can also control our actions. We can make the decision to go to the gym, to work out that extra ten, fifteen minutes. We can change the habit of looking for sweets and treats when we are depressed or stressed. We can do the things we need to do when we need to do them. We have that choice.
Some days it harder than others to get up early and hit the gym. I know. I have been trying to get up early and go to the gym. There are days I decide not to go. It's not anyone's choice but mine when I don't go. I can control my attitude and my actions. The good or bad are my choice.
What choices are we going to make? If it's difficult to make the right choice, we need to turn to our Why. Remember Why you are striving to achieve this goal. Knowing the reason why we do what we do, will help remind us why we started this journey to begin with.
Go Out Today And Take Control of Your Attitude and Your Actions to Get The Goals You Set
