For a period of years I fought putting anything on the calendar. I didn't want hard plans because when your True North drops dead you simply want to soak every moment within reach. But I had purpose, a mission. 

There came a point when I realized if I wanted to honor my mission I HAD to be consistent. If I wanted to be consistent, I HAD to take charge of every part of my life. From dismissing negative voices from my life to creating and implemenitng new habits, I re-engineered my life so that I could accomplish what I envisioned.  

If you feel like your spinning your wheels with your business, relationships, hobbies...it's time to take a sober look at what you're truly consistent at.  The reality is we ARE CONSISTENT at something and if we look, it will show itself. It might even be consistent at embracing the realiably unpredictable.  

Consistency leads to results. If you're not getting the results you want, you probably lack consistency in an important area. Today we tackle how to become consistent!

1. Commit
2. Avoid Chaos
3. Grow Mindfulness
4. Create a Consistent Sleep Routine
5. Make Things Simple & Sustainable
6. Efficiency Over Creativity
7. Avoid Paralysis by Analysis
8. Pace Yourself
9. Progress Over Perfection
10. Say No

(And remember to be nice to yourself:)

You wrote some goals, good for you! Now is the test of your resolve! Over the next several weeks as you strive for your goals you WILL BE TESTED.

You WILL WANT TO QUIT.
You WILL WANT TO MAKE EXCUSES.

THIS is your opportunity to separate yourself from the other 92% of the world and create the life of your dreams!

Today I go back to the concept of separation season and use baking good ol' chocolate chip cookies as a springboard to understanding how to come out EXTRAORDINARY!

For fun, here's my favorite best ever tried and true recipe! 

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe By Americas Test Kitchen

Ingredients

• 2 cups Flour plus 2 tablespoons
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 12 Tablespoons Butter 1 1/2 sticks Unsalted, melted and cooled until just warm
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar Packed
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1 Egg Lrg plus 1 Egg Yolk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1-1 1/2 Cups baking Chips Semi Sweet Chocolate, I tried milk, but I think semi sweet really works better because it doesn't melt down like milk does and with the sweet cookie the semi sweet cuts that a bit making it a perfect balance

Instructions

• Heat oven to 325 and adjust racks to upper and lower middle positions.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment or spray with nonstick spray.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
• Either by hand or with an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended.
• Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed until just combined.
• Stir in chips to taste.
• Roll a scant 1/4 cup of the dough into a ball.
• Holding the ball with fingertips of both hands pull the dough in half, rotate 90 degrees and stick back together so that the jagged edges are sticking up. (obviously in the picture I did not do that this time)
• Bake until light golden brown, 15-18 min, rotating the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom rack half way through the baking time.

As always THANKS FOR SHARING THIS EPISODE!

Are you afraid to sample the extraordinary because you believe reality will smack you in the face?

Often we get a rush from attending seminars or being in a powerful meetup group. We feel we can conquer the world but when we walk through the door to the reality of our lives we find ourselves discouraged. 

We lose the belief that we CAN achieve the extraordinary. Sometimes we determine that we won't allow ourselves to get that high because the free fall back to reality is too much to bear. 

Today, I challenge this sentiment with the simple question: 
Can you achieve your dreams if you never dare dream?

Costco "marketing gods" and their use of samples are a springboard to this conversation: Sample something great and you'll be so sold out nothing will stop you. 

Swimming also supports today's concept by pointing out we MUST exhale the stale toxic air from our lungs in order to inhale pure fresh air. 

So much more! 

Please leave a 5 star review and share this episode to fuel others!
