AYD - Sept 9, 2014 - Remember Your Podium Stand

"The idea of overcoming is always fascinating to me. It's fascinating because few of us realize how much energy we have expended just to be here today. I don't think we give ourselves enough credit for the overcoming."
- Maya Angelou

There was a time you faced adversity.  You may have been scared.  You may have been unsure.  And, you achieved.  You overcame and you stood up tall on your very own podium of success.

Recall one of your many moments and stand on it today.

You could. You did. You will again.

Good Morning, Greater Day.
Greater You, shines on from memory.

AYD - Sept 8, 2014 - Basics Always Deliver

"Each day do something to make you feel happy, until this becomes a habit."
- Remez Sasson

When the days come that I cannot find my own voice or thoughts to guide me onward and upward, I have to remember that when in doubt, keep it simple, and follow the basics.  These will maintain the progress, even on those days when I don't feel I can move mountains.

Basics are the foundation of learning and growth.  Sometimes, reviewing them is exactly the step forward we are looking for. 

Good morning, greater day.  Greater you, if worth reviewing.

The Achievement is Near

"All change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end."
- Robin Sharma

Sounds like a Monday.  The key to remember as we encounter Monday, or Change, or an anxious moment coming closer with each passing moment .... We can do this.  We can put one foot in front of the other and drive on through. 

We have the experience. 
We have the history.  We have the chapters already written.

We have the advantage because we know we are entering a hard stage.  We know we may have to work our way through some clutter, and we know there is a finish platform that will make it all seem a whole lot easier when we get there.  So act like we are already there.  Hang onto the anticipation of how good it will feel when you get through the unknown and let that help you find the courage to trudge through the lesson learning stages.

We Know The Benefits of Achievement ... and With That We Find Another Ounce of Strength to Step Forward.

Be it change ... or Just another Monday .... We can take on the challenge.

Good Morning, Greater Day.

Greater You, Looks back on a good battle that helped you Become Greater.

AYD - Aug 18, 2014 - The Obvious

"You don't need to attend every argument you are invited to."
- Zig Ziglar

It is unfortunate that we cannot always recall the most obvious of good advice right when we need it the most.

Grab hold of this little safety net today, and keep it in mind should you receive a last minute invite.

Good morning, Greater day.
Greater You, picks your own meeting schedule.
