GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY AND BE AN OPPORTUNIST

 


Wondering how to get what you want?

The difference between those who win and those who don't is that those who win will do what it takes to win, and the rest refuse to do the same.

Let's face it: the only thing stopping you from getting what you want is you.  You say you want something – you want it so bad you can taste it…you daydream about it, you plan, you talk, you read, you write about it.  Yet when the opportunity presents itself, you fail to seize it.  You let yourself stand in the way of you and your goal—your golden opportunity.  Time and time again, you trip and stumble over yourself.

You have to stop letting your inhibitions rob you of the things you want. You may have to sacrifice your rules and your standards: they could be your worst enemies in terms of getting to where and what you want most in life. If you want it bad enough, you have to seize it when the opportunity arises. But will it be worth it in the end? That is the BIG question that you will have to grapple with.

Heck! Do what you told yourself you would never do.  What have you got to lose?  Stop letting your pride rob you of your golden moments.  But remember, after every haughty spirit comes a fall. That said, you never know when another opportunity like that will present itself again.  Opportunity comes, but once, they say.

  • Don’t let anyone or any group set your standards for you
  • Play by your own rules
  • Make up the rules as you go along
  • Ditch old rules for new ones
  • Be forward, Bright and Daring
  • Have the galls to pursue a worthy ideal
  • Know your mission statement
  • Introduce yourself; don’t wait to be introduced
  • Toot your own horn gently
  • Be that, somebody
  • Dare to be the person you want to be
  • Kick shy to the curb and let Bold be the new you!
  • Stop being normal
  • Dare to be different
  • Stop second-guessing yourself
  • Just do it already

Be Realistic!

Be Realistic We live in a world where being realistic is a thing of the past and conjures thoughts of mediocrity and cause for alarm in the minds of unrealistic people. It is no wonder we experience so much failure and disappointment in this 21st century.  With Christmas just around the corner, many will be holding unrealistic expectations of gifts to be given and received.

The Three Culprits of Stress and How They Affect Our Lives

What is stress? Stress is like water, we all need it to feel alive, but too much of it at one time can cause infallible damage to our health. With that being said, stress in and of itself is neither good nor bad—it is a symptom or byproduct of one's feelings or thoughts of inability to do something that is important, or in anticipation of something great to come. Stress is a state of emotional chaos.   It can and will manifest (or show up) in our bodies as aches and pains and even severe or chronic diseases if the root cause is not dealt with swiftly and appropriately

It's Time to Design Your Days

Some days can be hard. To make them more manageable, use a #calendar to plan and design your day to optimize your time. Carve out a set time at the end of every month to visualize what the next month will look like and do your scheduling. At the start of every week, move items into the weekly calendar for a more focused vision. There are several different tools to choose from, such as Google, Outlook, Yahoo, and Slack, which are supported by iCalendar, or the actual paper planners. There are also many other Calendar Apps to help us stay focused and organized: schedule events, create to-do lists and make journal entries all in one place. Begin with a clear vision of how you want each day of the week to look, what you wish to accomplish and how you want to navigate the day: Then set a few mini goals for the day or week ahead. Prioritize tasks in a time slot on your calendar by importance and deadline. Allow for some flexibility in your schedule for unexpected events or delays. Review you...
