Back in the days of the wild west there was an old mining town this was when most businesses kept accounts running for locals who would pay their bills once a week.

Well, one particular day a stranger rode into town, He stopped at the first hotel walked in and plunked a silver coin on the counter.  The hotel keeper handed the stranger a key and said...

Fear is a fickle thing it can be a deterrent a motivator a barrier or a building block.

Some people master fear others are mastered by fear.

One of the most important things to know about fear, however, is that it doesn’t always come in a terrifying and daunting form. In fact, some of the smaller fears in your life can destroy more happiness and opportunity, than some of the bigger fears that come along, if you let them.

Your focus makes an incredible difference in everything you do… and what you focus on is critical. For example, if you got up at 7:30am this morning and you have a goal to “get up earlier” all you have to do is get up by 7:29am tomorrow morning and you’ve reached your goal and you feel like a loser. Instead focus on getting up at the time you want to get up say, 6:30am. Now when you make your goal, you’ll feel like a winner!

Free motivation is what a large chunk of the population runs on. It’s motivation from fear. If I don’t get to work on time I’ll get fired. If I don’t stop energy drinks I’ll have a stroke, If the kids don’t get up now we won’t get to school on time, if I don’t save I can’t retire.

You’ve been given a sizeable chunk of time in your life. You’ve had 24hrs a day every day since you were born and every time you take a spin around the sun, you put another 365 of those days behind you. Unfortunately, with such a seeming abundance of time it’s easy to take time for granted. Every once in a while there comes a moment in time that will remind you that there is no abundance of time! All you have is the moment you are in right now and that is a gift.

Having a concrete goal that you are working towards will increase your effectiveness and make you feel good about yourself… and when you feel good about yourself, you will be a more enthusiastic and motivated individual.

Monday’s are magnificent for those of us who like to work, but there are some people out there who’re just not too excited about Mondays.  They fall into the when and then trap of thinking that when they finally get a raise, then they’ll be happy on Mondays, or when they get the position they really want, then they’ll enjoy Mondays, or when they can finally retire, then they won’t mind Mondays at all.
