AYD - May 23, 2014 - Total Recall and Recharge

It dawned on me recently that I have everything I need to be the success I want to be.
Resources and experience and mature perspective are all there.
Only thing missing is a more direct line reference center in my brain that would guide me to the right tool, at the right time, and with focus.  I am working on it.

So with that, I thought ... I know I have these tools so then I should initiate Recall Sequence and get reacquainted with them.

So sometime today... preferably this morning so you can Awaken the idea ... follow my lead.

Identify 5 people in your life that have taught you something of far reaching value.  Remember them, remember their qualities ... and revisit the valuable lessons.  Spend a dedicated moment on each.

Identify 5 books in your home ( or memory if you do not keep them) that you enjoyed in any way.  They could have been motivating, or allowed you the gift of laughter or personal insight.  5 books you invested time in and received a return on investment.  What did you like? What did you discover?  What did you share?

Identify 5 jobs you have held that have brought you to a new and improved self.  You might have disliked it, but now you know more about your wants and dreams.  You might have loved it, and it made you more in control now.  5 Jobs, and what did you take away from them.  If you had a negative experience, this is not a time for paying interest on the past ... it is time to pull the learning from the ashes of anger.... this is a value lesson.

Step into the Recall chamber.  Recharge with reflection on lessons learned and put a fresh coat of paint on the hidden values you greet each day with.

Good Morning ... yes it is...and it will allow me a greater day.
Greater You, lets you find more than you remembered about you.

AYD - May 13, 2014 - Use Your Team

"None of us is as smart as all of us."
- Ken Blanchard

When the day starts off and you are already overwhelmed... use self leadership 101, and remember that you are surrounded by people talented in their own way.

You do not have to do it alone.

Good morning, Greater day.
Greater you, is a better for everyone.

AYD - May 9, 2014 - Because You Can, You Should

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes...the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules...You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things...they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."

- Steve Jobs

 

It just deserved repeating today.  Could be an affirmation every morning really.  A mantra.  It is not who said it, it is what it says to you. 

 

We all need a kickstart.  A motivating factor.  Not all of us are able to find it easily...and it is even harder to maintain focus when we do.  So us crazies need to encourage the motivation.  Let your hair down....share an idea or thought.  More so, share the passion with confidence and without fear of the raised eyebrow and wrinkled up nose expression in return.

 

Awaken Your Day.  Begin to write your daily script first thing ... in your format, before the preauthorized templates come into play.

 

Show a little crazy ... think a little wild... push the human race forward, starting with you.

Because you can...maybe you should.

 

Good morning you Nut.  Where shall we begin?

 

Good morning, greater day.

Greater You, shows everyone it is okay to test drive an adventure.

AYD - May 7, 2014 - Are You Waiting, Or Are You Creating

"Don't wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater."
- Mary Morrissey

Sometimes we do not even realize that we have sat back into "Wait" mode.

Status Quo.
Is what it is.
Standard Procedure.

Underneath our 'routine' activities ... we would like that unexpected life moment to just jump up and change everything for us.  And it is so easy to not see, that during our 'routine' we could be slowly edging in the Shift we are wanting to make.  We could be working the construction for the Off Ramp that allows us to explore out to a new road.

We need our like minded individuals.  We need those successful stories around us.  We need to bring closer those "It can be done, it has been done" stories and people to keep the idea right there on the horizon ... to help us not drift back to that steady place of just keeping it between the lines ... for another mile, another day, another flip of the calendar.

Opportunity has called recently, and I have been "waiting" for a free moment in my "routine" to be able to call back without distraction.  Funny.... my "routine" has been that distraction and I realize in a much less obvious way, I am once again,  waiting.

Notice - Construction to commence, expect acceleration to commence.

Good morning, greater day.
Greater you, is just better for everyone around you.
