Yes, there are days when I’m not “feeling it.”
I get frustrated, easily irritated or just not in “the mood.”
But those days are few and far between.
Thank goodness.
…Or not?
Having one of “those days” gives me perspective. If I choose for it to.
Each of us has the ability to attach any meaning we want to any given circumstance. At any time, any situation and in any place of our lives.
I am conscious of this today more than any other time of my life.
- I am deliberate in my daily habits to set up the environment around me to create the energy that I want in my life.
- I wake up and write in my journal, work out at a level that causes me to sweat, I meditate, pray, and read in a spiritual book and a business book – EVERYDAY.
- I focus on my key relationships.
- I eat food that gives me energy and supports my recovery of working out at those levels.
- I get regular adjustments at my Chiropractor’s office.
- I take personal time to reflect.
- I read in my Life Book for inspiration and big picture focus.
- I study business and finance topics to keep my saw sharp.
- I associate with like-minded individuals.
- I love my client interactions. I pour my heart and soul into every meeting.
- I hire, strategize with and account to business coaches.
- I utilize positive focus celebrating where I have come from to where I am today.
- I challenge myself in every area of my life, acknowledging that as I grow and expand, I am satisfied and I am able to create with others at a much higher level.
- I am accountable. Proactive.
- I transfer the risk to an insurance company to manage versus manage myself in the areas that I am not uniquely talented in.
- I leverage my strengths. I am clear about what they are and what they are not.
- I leverage the division of labor. I hire others around me who are talented in that area.
- I have a coordinated and integrated financial plan empowering me today.
I do all of this because I have felt the other. The scarcity mindset. The frustration. The irritation.
It’s a choice.
What do you choose?
Are you conscious of it?
What daily habits do you have that set up the environment around you to create and expand at the highest level?
How does money and finance play into this?
Does it?
It does for me.
Not in a small way either. It’s HUGE!
Significant, in fact!
It is the leading cause for divorce in our country.
The cost of not having the focus that is possible by leveraging knowing versus hoping is significant.
KNOW VERSUS HOPE
