Carpe Diem!! Seize The Day!

Gary Ryan Blair of the "100 Day Challenge" suggests that life is too short.  You must seize the day.  Before you know it 1 year, 5 years, 10 years can go by without your getting closer or accomplishing your goals.  You must make every day count and take massive action each day to ensure that you keep moving forward.  You do not want to wake up one day and find you lost so much time and you are not where you want to be.  So start now, today, this very minute and Carpe Diem!!

It's A Winter Wonderland!

The northeast part of the country has been hit by a blizzard.  My children were excited to have the day off, but were hoping to parlay it into 2 days.  I was even stuck at home unable to travel. It's fun to have these impromptu days off.  You think well I will get a lot done at home.  But, truthfully we spent the whole day renting movies on TV.  It was a nice day.  Unfortunately I couldn't parlay it into 2 days off either. So it's off to the off to the office again.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words!

This is an old saying.  It means that you show who you are as a person by your deeds and not what you say you are about.  So behaving with integrity is more meaningful than saying you have integrity.

There is another meaning to this saying.  If you say you want to achieve certain goals it is meaningless without the actions you need to take to accomplish it.  I always joke that since I am saying I want to lose weight won't that do the trick. So everyday I am very clear that I want to lose weight.  I know how much.  I talk about it.  Yet without the diet and exercise I cannot lose a pound. 

The book: "The Secret", states that putting your desires out into the Universe brings you the things you want.  But, I am here to say that desires without action is meaningless. Put out your desires but come up with a plan that is action oriented and you will be successful.
