AYD - May 29, 2014 - You say Tomato, They say Toe-mato

"People who go to the top think differently than others." - John Maxwell

"Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; Nothing expands possibilities like unleashed thinking." - William Arthur Ward

People who go to the top ... we read this and our mind leaps to the penthouse suite or the image of a person standing in the corner office of a big corporation.  The stereotypical image is one that is very automatic.  The subliminal connection to success.  The auto fill of our thinking.

However, I challenge you to allow, like we always do at AYD, to allow these blanket concepts of overall growth and googled images of success to actually begin right here and now.

You can get to the top of your Day ... just by thinking differently than others.  Look around at those who wear their choices for all to see.  Look for the obstacle people and avoid repeating their actions. 

Standing at the top of your day is a spring board for other enthusiastic take overs.  Choose wisely.  Look for the folks that are off the leash.  It is contagious to even watch them walk.

Now...
Good morning, becomes a greater day.
A Greater You, Becomes a Beacon for others to think differently.

AYD - May 27, 2014 - Laughter, A Good Part of Any Plan

" If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it. "
- George Burns

Sometimes, a simple yet obvious truth, can be the best advice.

Good morning, greater day.
Greater you, is wonderful to discover.

Opportunity Monday.

Good morning, greater day.
Greater you, is a greater you.

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.
