If and It

Say “if and it” five times as fast as you can. Ready, set, go!

It’s kind of hard to say, it sounds silly, and it’s a little bit confusing! But how easily these two simple words wiggle their way out and wreak havoc. They make such a mess of things.

If I could’ve gone to college…. If there were more hours in a day…. If I just had more money…. If I could only have some of what she has…. I wish I could get it. It’s not fair! When I get it I’ll be happy.

Why not do a follow-up to these statements? Don’t defend them. Ask the follow-up questions.

“If I could have gone to college….” I can’t change the past, but what could I do differently right now? I could take an evening class. I could sign up for an online computer course. I could buy a book with the specialized information I am looking for. I can educate myself in many ways.

“If there were more hours in a day….” I can’t change the hours in a day, but I can use my time more wisely. What are the most important things I need to do today? What could I do less of so that I can start doing more of what I want?

Start filling in the blanks to your “ifs” and “its” and create the future you’ve been wishing for!

Dreams

When you lose your dreams, you lose your way. Imagine packing your car and leaving for a two-week vacation without a destination. Unless your vacation plan was to wander aimlessly, you’d probably become frustrated pretty quickly.

Life is the same way. When you don’t have a dream, you’ll find that your activities often feel aimless. If you have a dream, you have a direction. Even when you get off-track, you can adjust because you know your ultimate destination.

All of us deserve a dream, a vision and a purpose. Is it time to explore your dream?

Be Your Best

“You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be your best.”

What? Are you kidding? Are you telling me, after all these years, that I only need to be my best? It sounds so simple, so obvious. Have I really never heard this before?

What have I been trying to prove all this time? And who have I been trying to prove it to? If I take a look deep inside-way down in there-I think I can find the answer. It’s me. I’ve been trying to prove it to myself. I didn’t think I was good enough. I didn’t believe that anyone would want what I had to offer. I thought it was you who I was trying to prove it to, but it’s been me all along.

“You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be your best.” What freedom that simple statement offers! Be your best! Be proud of yourself and what you have to offer. Learn from what you do today, so that you can offer something even better tomorrow. Oh, and most importantly: Don’t forget to have fun doing it!

Won’t it feel great to end your day knowing that you did your best?!
