Sharing the lives and passions of others to inspire yours
Take Control of your Life
Take Control of Your Life
You wouldn't drive your car without checking all the internal gauges and determining your destination, so why would you lead your life that way? If you let life happen to you and you're just a passenger along for the ride, you have given away your control! Take it back by grabbing the steering wheel, plunking down into the driver's seat and taking a serious look at where you're headed. Three SUCCESS experts tell you how:
Best-selling author John Maxwell:
List your core beliefs. Then abide by your core beliefs each day, and refuse to be swayed by outside factors and influences. These become the tenets of your life that will ultimately deliver a fulfilled existence.
Compile a daily-dozen list you adhere to each day. Your list should include the most important values and goals that will be influential in shaping your life and achieving your successes. Ideally, this list should be a basic outline of how you want to live as a person and what you want to achieve. If you refer to your list each day, it will help you stay on course.
Best-selling author and minister Joel Osteen:
Change your thoughts. Begin to be grateful for what's right in your life rather than looking at what's wrong.
Refuse to make excuses. Instead, look inside yourself and identify the root cause of the issues and situations you want to change in your life. Focus on the good in every situation, start envisioning and expecting change, and develop good habits daily that keep you moving toward your goals.
Motivational coach and author Denis Waitley:
Know the person in the mirror. Quality of life begins with self-assessment, and is about the fulfillment and joy we experience every day-not someday, or during vacations or retirement.
Keep a close check on what you are exposed to most. You are not only what you eat, but through repetition you become what you watch, read, listen to and internalize.
Set benchmarks to see if you are making progress. Throughout the day, frequently ask yourself: Is this activity moving me forward to achieve my most important lifetime goals?
