MATH

Your Attitude + Your Choices = Your Life

Full Potential

"It is generally believed that the average person uses only about ten percent of their potential. That is to say that the average person could be ten times more productive and successful than they currently are. Studies done at Stanford University Brain Institute are even less flattering. They claim that the average person only uses about two percent of their full potential. No matter which figure you agree with, it is clear that we perform far below what we are capable of."

Inner Drive

"Getting ahead in a difficult position requires avid faith in yourself. ‎

That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive,

go much further than people with vastly superior talent."

The Positive Pledge

I pledge to be a positive person and positive influence on my family, friends, co-workers and community.

I promise to be positively contagious and share more smiles, laughter, encouragement and joy with those around me.

I vow to stay positive in the face of negativity.

When I am surrounded by pessimism I will choose optimism.

When I feel fear I will choose faith.

When I want to hate I will choose love.

When I want to be bitter I will choose to get better.

When I experience a challenge I will look for opportunity to learn and grow.

When faced with adversity I will find strength.

When I experience a set-back I will be resilient.

When I meet failure I will fail forward towards future success.

With vision, hope, and faith, I will never give up and will always move forward towards my destiny.

I believe my best days are ahead of me, not behind me.

I believe I'm here for a reason and my purpose is greater than my challenges.

I believe that being positive not only makes me better, it makes everyone around me better.

So today and every day I will be positive and strive to make a positive impact on the world.

Tattoo

I read a great quote today in my Experience Life magazine (a publication of Lifetime Fitness). I think it can apply to most anything in life: "I'll repeat something you might consider tattooing on your forehead: What we fear most is usually what we most need to do." Find something "scary" to do and don't let fear get you down!

Spring Cleaning

Happy First Day of Spring! I like to teach my girls to say "I can do anything!" and we shout it out loud 3 times in a row. I can see how confident and happy they feel when we do this little exercise together. Sometimes our minds, as adults, get so full of clutter and thoughts that don't really serve us well. How about some mental spring cleaning.... stand in front of your bathroom mirror and say out loud 3 times - with emphasis! - "I can do ANYTHING!". You may feel silly at first but I promise by the 3rd time you will feel great and at least you will be smiling in the process! :)
