Special Announcement Part 2

With every life changing event I learn something new about myself and those around me.

Make sure you are learning, even in the midst of any struggle. You should ask: “what in the world should I be learning from this?”

I think the reason why I have been able to adapt to many things that should have broken me is because I try to squeeze the positive out of the situation.

Mannnn, I could have fallen apart while I watched the tears well up in my wife’s eyes right after the doctors told her she could be infertile.

But instead I noticed that the tears built up and did NOT roll up her rose colored cheeks. I imagine her telling the tear ducts “nope not today.”

Plan in New Year- One Minute with Jay

Everyone is saying new year, new me. Cut it out. Make sure you plan in the new year. Have a plan and work that baby for the whole year.

You do not need to be a whole new person to have success in this new year. You do need to make a plan that is easy to follow and do no matter how you feel.

Feelings get in the way of success. “Oh I don’t feel like waking up early.” “I don’t feel like complimenting my spouse.” “I don’t feel like reaching daily to find new prospects for my business.”

It’s not about what you feel but what are you doing when your mood is the exact opposite of what you want. Do you give in? Or do you remind yourself of the alternative, which is to let another year go by without being any closer to what you want.

Out with the past in with the

You may ask yourself why did he not finish the heading “Out with the past in with the?” In with the what? The New? Nope.

In with dream. I cannot say in with new because your dream is nothing new. It has always been inside of you, just buried under a bunch of stuff.

Stuff like: other people’s expectations, family expectations, what your wife agrees with, what hubby thinks, what your friends think is acceptable.

So much so that you forgot to dream. Forgot who you are and why you were placed here. Maybe you never really thought about it at all because you always followed what you saw other people around you do.

I’m not trying to beat you up. I want you to Dream again or dream for the first time.

Where can you have the most impact? What the things you are good at?
