Tuesday's Tip: "Get through the hard part before you decide it's not for you."
Every goal is hard at first. Every new relationship has kinks to be worked out. Every dream has a gestation period. Everything is hard at first; but that doesn't mean it won't work.
Before you throw in the towel, make sure your towel is sopping sweaty, bloody, and ripped to shreds. Even then it may mean you've just got to go at it harder.
Get through the hard part before you decide it's not for you.
Don't Mistake Movement For Progress
Don’t Mistake Movement For Progress.
Today, take a look at where you are spending your time and energy. Just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you’re getting anything done.
Reprioritize.
Spend major energy on major tasks. Spend minor energy on minor tasks. At the end of the day, examine your results. Celebrate honest productivity. Learn from complacency.
Pay Attention To Avoidance.
Pay attention to avoidance. Avoidance is often instruction incognito. The things we avoid, are usually the very things we need to pursue.
While we are away from our office all we can think about is getting that huge project done. The moment we are back at our desk, it seems we are consumed with doing everything but what that project requires us to do.
It’s easy to see it. It’s harder to do it.
Celebrate Authentic Accomplishment.
Make a list. Check it twice. Celebrate authentic accomplishment – the things you wanted to do, and did. Reward yourself only for authentic genuine effort that resulted in progress.
Keep It Real. Just because you're busy doesn't mean you're getting anything done.
The Untold Secret To Progress
Don’t mistake contentment for acceptance. Contentment doesn’t settle for it’s situation, contentment sees it for what it is and acts accordingly.
Don’t mistake contentment for acceptance. Contentment doesn’t settle for it’s situation, contentment sees it for what it is and acts accordingly.
Contentment is the peace of knowing NOT that everything is GOING TO BE ok, but that everything IS OK right now!
You’re the right women for the job!
You’re the man that can get’er done!
BREATHE
There’s no one better suited for this day, this moment, this task, this goal, this dream, this fight…than YOU!

I Will Wield My Sword Again
In one arm I congratulate the victor. In the other, I comfort the mourner. The winner and loser in my arms at same time. What do you say to the victor? Congratulations! And to the mourner?
01.2017 — Journal Entry
In one arm I congratulate the victor. In the other, I comfort the mourner. The winner and loser in my arms at same time.
What do you say to the victor? Congratulations!
And to the mourner? Peace be with you, your time is not through.
Through the pain you will be born again — life will take on new form. To the winner, get ready, your next race is about to begin.
There is no difference between the two — the victor or the mourner; they are both in the same race just at a different place.
Victory, mourning, winning, defeat are all a part of the journey. Well done thou good and faithful servant is what we really live for.
I’m neither winner or loser. I am simply on the journey. What is will be. Whatever will be I’ve been equipped to handle it.
Even when it appears I’m crumbling, don’t be fooled, I am strong. I will rise again. I will finish what I started.
This does not define me. This is refining me. This is sharpening me like iron. I will wield my sword again!
This too shall pass. And when It does, victory is mine!
Victory is mine!! Victory is mine!!!

How To Get From Here To Where You Want To Go
When we go through significant changes in our lives, we tend to look for something different; a different job, a different relationship, a different direction, a different voice to guide us from where we are to where we want to be. But closer examination of the road to ultimate fulfillment reveals that it’s the Same that leads to Different.
When we go through significant changes in our lives, we tend to look for something different; a different job, a different relationship, a different direction, a different voice to guide us from where we are to where we want to be. But closer examination of the road to ultimate fulfillment reveals that it’s the Same that leads to Different.
The same premonition, leading, prompting or voice that you first identified as your Truth (that’s why you have been following it your entire life) that led you here, is the same premonition, leading, prompting or voice that will lead you there.
Your Sacred Voice
It’s taken you all of your life to identify your sacred voice. You know, the voice that speaks to you in the midnight hour. That subtle premonition that sparked your seemingly absurd move from one coast to the other.
It’s taken you all of your life to identify your sacred voice, don’t bail on it now.
It would take you another lifetime, if not more, to develop the same trust and confidence in a new voice to now lead you to your next level of success and fulfillment.
You don’t have that much time left!!
Stop searching for a different voice. The Same that brought you here will lead you there. Same source. Different course.
Same Source. Different Course.
Your direction is different now, but the voice that’s leading you is still the same. For a season, and a reason, you were led here. Now that same source will lead you there.
There is the place you ultimately desire and know that you are destined to be. The Ultimate You. But how do you get there from here?
Review Your History
Take a look back over the last 3, 5, or even 10 years.
- What caused you to take the path you took to get here?
- What voice or leading did you follow?
- What did that voice sound like?
- When and where did you discover that voice?
- How did you come to rely on it and trust in it?
- Have you stopped listening?
- When and why did you stop listening to what’s been leading you your entire life?
When we are ready for significant change we become overwhelmingly compelled to dump everything and everybody we once knew so that we can be released into our new.
KEY: But if you don’t trust the same voice that led you up to this point, you could remain stuck here forever.
Here Is Not Your Final Destination
As easy as it would be to believe you’ve been listening to the wrong voice, especially if you don’t like where you are at, you must understand that you were led here because here is where you were supposed to arrive for the time being. But Here is not your final destination, but a stopover along the way.
KEY: If you bail on the process that led you here because you hate where you are, you will waste precious time and resources wandering in the wilderness once again searching for a different path, a different place, and a different voice to help you get there.
You don’t need different; same leads to different.
Key: Here is on the journey to there.
Rest. Regroup. & Reconnect.
You’ve been running the race and fighting the fight for a long time, but you are in the home stretch. Don’t allow desperation to veer you off course. Rest, regroup, and reconnect with your sacred voice; your life force, the inner leading that led you here. The same will lead you there.
Be Comforted In Knowing These Truths:
- That which began a good work in you will be carried out unto completion.
- There SHALL be a performance — a manifestation — of those things which you hold to be true about you!
When we go through significant changes in our lives, we tend to look for something different. But closer examination of the road to ultimate fulfillment reveals that it’s the Same that leads to Different.
