What I Learned in 2013...Lessons from the whirlwind...

Well, since is my last blog post of 2013...I thought I Blog about what I learned this year...

1. Be Specific... I learned what when asking for something in regards to a Goal...BE SPECIFIC...You can't just say, I want to make more money, or I want to save more money, or I want to lose weight ... You have to be as Specific as possible down the smallest detail....or ...you the vision of what your want will be diluted.

2. Always focus on the positive...Period...No matter what is going on in your life...there is always something to be grateful for. Focus on it..like a Laser Beam..Do not get stuck on the P.L.O.M...The poof little old me attitude...Get stuck on How Wonderful Life is...Have a Clear Positive Vision for the day...

3. Trust your Gut! If your Gut is saying no...Follow it....Have a deep belief in yourself and trust what your inner voice is saying...

4. The First Person you should impact is yourself...make sure that when you are trying to impact others lives, make sure you do not trample yourself.....Make sure that you always listen to what your needs and wants are..be able to express what you want...

5. A Goal without an Action Plan is a recipe to a disaster...You should when you set a Written Goal..Map out an action plan to getting to the Goal...Things you can do on a Daily Basis and put into your daily plans...

6.  Everyone is Worthy of Success...God did not build a Staircase of Success leading to nowhere...all of us deserve Success and I do not care if you are 5 years old or 100, Success is always there for each person to pursue...I heard it said...that "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal" Earl Nightingale...We define success then pursue it... 

7. One last thing I learned is that when you get to the end of your rope, it is alright to ask for help..I know it is natural to want to isolate and try to solve all the problems yourself. Most people Isolate and Build a moat around themselves and smile and say they are fine. It does not make you weak to ask for help, it only helps you to make you to be stronger...I know I am a giver by nature, but when you don't ask for help, you deny other givers to help you...

Well this is all that I learned ...in 2013...What lessons and Successes will I have in 2014? Stay Tuned....

Tell me what you learned this year...
