ARE YOU ON TARGET? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 41

There is still one-half of 2013 left.  Time to reflect on where you are with any goals you may have set for yourself or any New Year's resolutions you may have made.  It is easy to write a list of goals or resolutions, but review your list to be certain you have not made any of these common mistakes in goal setting:  Are there too many?  Are they too big?  Are they specific?  Are they not planned?  Are there no deadlines?

There is still time to revise your list and take action to accomplish what you said you would in 2013.  You can do it so believe you can do it!

ARE YOU A PEOPLE PLEASER? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 40

As children we figure out early on how to please our parents, our siblings, our teachers, our friends, our neighbors.  Although it is not wrong to want to please others, the need to please can sometimes cause us to deny our own wants and needs.  It can cause us to do things we do not want to do or to not do things that we truly want to do.

To have your own life and follow your own path it is important to really know yourself.  Once you know yourself inside and out today's words can become your touchstone.

BE TRUE TO MYSELF

DO YOU SHOOT FROM THE HIP? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 38

Saying that a person "shoots from the hip" usually has nothing to do with firearms.  It means that they say or do things in an instant.  Sometimes they overreact.  Sometimes they do it from emotion.  Sometimes they do it from anger, and sometimes they just do it because that is who they are.

Life experience teaches that "shooting from the hip" can have consequences or repercussions that are regrettable and sometimes impossible to overcome.

Today's words are a definite cure for "shooting from the hip" ..............

STOP AND THINK

IF NOT YOU, WHO? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 36

What is your hope?  What is your dream?  What is your goal?  What is your passion?  What is your need?

Don't sit around waiting for someone else to fulfill your hopes and dreams, to achieve your goals, to fuel your passion or meet your needs.  Even if you just take the first step that is progress, and then a second step, and then a third, etc.  Have confidence in yourself, and believe you can do it.
