Are You Missing Your Future?
Are You Missing Your Future?Have you noticed how everybody is running so fast these days?Are they living in the moment? Are they dwelling on the past? Are they dreaming of the future - and waiting for it to arrive?Any human would experience a combination of all three every day. That's normal as long as it doesn't get in the way of living.A decade and a half ago, my first wife passed away from Cancer. She was 46 and too young to die. I was too young to be a widower. My children are too young to lose their Mom. While challenging, our family had an unconventional outlook on life - and death. Our goal was to make it the best death ever. Sadly, we achieved that goal. It was the strangest accomplishment any of us had ever experienced.After she passed, my daughter, Carlyn, wrote a poem that resonates to this day -Soon we'll all find our way.Soon we'll know what.Makes us who we are.Soon we'll wake up.Today, we can appreciate.Soon we'll know that.Tomorrow we'll be better.Soon we'll trust that everything's okay.That the past is gone.Can't hold us back.Soon we'll smile about today.Soon will come too soon.Don't let it slip away.Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future. Don't let it slip away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Billionaire Habits You Can Steal
Billionaire Habits You Can StealWhatever you get in life is a result of your daily habits. What is a habit?According to the dictionary, it is a settled or regular tendency or practice. It is also, especially, one that is hard to give up.Good habits or bad - they are hard to give up. If that's the case, you may as well choose good habits.In a survey of 233 self-made millionaires, here's what they did that lower-income earners didn't -Get up early, read a LOT, and spend 15 - 30 minutes each day on focused thinking.Good habits, done daily, create success.Make exercise a priority, spend time with people that inspire them, and pursue their own goals.Settled habits create settled success.Get enough sleep, have multiple incomes, and avoid time-wasters.If you're not getting the desired results, there is a high likelihood that you're not giving up your current habits.Until you establish new habits, little will change. When you do, everything will change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How to Focus and Achieve Your Goals
How to Focus and Achieve Your GoalsI was speaking with a young man who was doing something familiar. He was living in two realities:1) He had finished school; one reality was pursuing his dream career. 2) While he worked toward his dream, he earned a job certification to pay the bills.During our conversation, he said something that got my attention. “I’m hoping I can get a good job supporting my dream.”My ears perked up. Years of Coaching allow me to hear de-focused and dream-erasing thoughts loud and clear. Yes, everybody needs to pay their bills. However, what you focus on is what you get.When the certainty of earning income becomes your focus, dreams disappear. What you focus on is what you get.Most folks don’t notice their dreams are gone for twenty years. What you focus on is what you get.Focus your mind and actions on turning your dreams into reality. Whatever you do to earn a living falls into the category of necessary and temporary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
