Improve Your Life: taking one step at a time.

One Step at a Time

One Step at a Time

Do you want to improve your life, but instead of taking one step at a time, you want it to all happen immediately? Don’t feel bad, most of us do. We want things when we want them. We are used to instant gratification.

I launched a new website today and I wanted it to happen now. I could have had a designer do it and it probably would have been done faster, but he or Read the rest of this entry »

Goals setting: is it relevant

I just watched an awesome video by Cath Duncan on

Cath Duncan

Is Traditional Goal Setting Broken. You’re a fool if you don’t click through and watch it! Not only does she have some great stuff to say, she’s easy on the eyes to boot!

Cath brings up some great stuff. She talks about goals being specific, but the problem being most of us don’t have the foggiest idea what it is we really want. I have to admit that Read the rest of this entry »

Living or Existing

I was bored today and just couldn’t get my mind going in the right

direction. During lunch I logged on to Netflix and watched Wall-e. There is a line in the movie that I think sums up many of us. The Captain of the space ship says he doesn’t want to survive, he wants to live. Do you merely exist instead of live?

I think there are many times when we feel like we just go through the motions of life and don’t really live. Our existence is simply that, existing. We get out of bed, we go to work, we come home, we go to bed. Sure there are a few other things in there, but that’s what it feel like sometimes!

I wrote this week about setting and achieving goals. You life doesn’t have to feel like existing, but you have to plan for what it is you want. Then you have to be strong enough Read the rest of this entry »

Setting and Achieving Goals; never ever give up.

You may well come to a point when you are quite sure that your goals

are either unrealistic or that you have missed something somewhere. No matter what you try, you just don’t seem any closer to reaching them.

Setting and achieving goals; can’t today

Does it throw you off when you can’t, for whatever reason, achieve your goals? I don’t mean the big ones, but the little day to day goals. It does me, especially when they are new.

I have been trying to get back into walking everyday. I have done real well with my goal until today. Every time I think I will god, I look outside and it’s raining. Then, when I right in the middle of something I will glance up and the sun is shining. I will think, “just let me finish this and then I’ll go,” then, yep, you guessed it; it’s raining again.

Having your goals be out of reach like this can be very frustrating! You have two real courses of action. You can get upset and then just let the goal die. Or, you can see the challenge in the situation and redouble your efforts to try harder.

I think I still may get my walk in. The sun is shining again. Just let me finish this post…

Here’s to You!

Achieve your goals; Live your dream

How can you achieve your goals, if you don’t know what they are?

How can you live your dream, if you don’t know what that is? There are many ways to do this, but let me give you one way that I found to be extremely helpful.

I read a book at a library that I was visiting while waiting for my wife who was in a workshop. I wish I could tell you the name of the book! I would love to give you a link to it. I’m sure this concept is not only found in this singular book, but it was put so well. Here is the concept. Read the rest of this entry »
