YOU ARE EITHER

IN THE GAME

OR YOU ARE NOT.

WHAT RESULT DO YOU WANT?

WHAT BEHAVIORS WOULD PRODUCE IT?

IT’S ALWAYS WHAT YOU DO

THAT DETERMINES LIFE’S OUTCOMES.

YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

THE PULL IS TO SETTLE FOR LESS.

THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER IN LIFE IS “HOW YOU SHOW UP.”

IN LIFE YOU GET WHAT YOU GENERATE

NOT WHAT YOU HOPE FOR.

COMMITMENT IS THAT WHICH IS DEMONSTRATED IN BEHAVIOR.

AS IF IT WERE A FACT.

IT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO SPEAK AN UNGROUNDED OPINION

Those who thrive don’t seek. They create.

CONTEXT IS DECISIVE. POSITIVE THINKING IS NOT.

Why are you “still” not dealing with what is keeping you stuck?

SOON TURN INTO NIGHTMARES.

DREAMS WHEN NOT CONVERTED INTO PROJECTS

Don’t give up your life for the crumbs of acceptance.

AAvoidance is self-sabotage.

YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIKE IT.

If it’s not a commitment it won’t shape action. It’s that simple.  

AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

WHAT ARE YOU COMMITTED TO?

To end suffering stop seeking, craving, and wanting. Start creating.

ARE NOT FOUND. THEY ARE CREATED.

POWERFUL RELATIONSHIPS

A pinball machine mentality will always be a problem.

STRESS IS NOT LIKING WHERE YOU ARE AT AND YET BEING UNWILLING TO CHANGE.

Unreal conversations are expensive.

ADULTS PLAY WITH “RESULTS” GOALS.

CHILDREN PLAY WITH “ACTIVITY” GOALS.

Burnout occurs from trying to solve the same problems over and over.

YOU ARE A PRODUCT

OF YOUR SPEAKING.

Positive thinking without discipline is the beginning of delusion.

IS WHAT CAUSES MOST BUSINESS PROBLEMS.

LACK OF LEADERSHIP

WHY DO YOU SEEK HAPPINESS− WHEN YOU COULD CHOOSE TO CREATE IT NOW?

THE BOTTOM LINE: IT’S WHAT YOU LIVE− NOT WHAT YOU KNOW.

DISCIPLINE IS ACTIVELY CREATING WHAT YOU WANT.

                               Integrity is at the heart of getting things accomplished.

ARE THE CONVERSATIONS YOU ARE HAVING EMPOWERING OR

DISEMPOWERING?

If you don’t deal with your reptile brain it will deal with you.

NOTHING WORKS WITH PEOPLE

WHO DON’T WORK THEMSELVES.

Power is not given. It is assumed.

NOT IN LIP SERVICE.

AUTHENTIC LOVE IS DEMONSTRATED IN BEHAVIOR−

If you don’t create a driving force in your life− you will get one by default.

AND SAYING IT’S THE TRUTH?

ARE YOU LIVING AN EXPLANATION

What will happen if nothing changes? That IS your default future.

What are you waiting for?

“COMMITMENT” AND “TRYING.”

TO START GETTING RESULTS DISTINGUISH BETWEEN

Life isn’t fair. You get what you create.

MANY PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN UP

AND DON’T REALIZE IT.

The magic is in doing it and not thinking it to death.

People speak in codes. “Someday” is code for “never.”

GET TO THE SOURCE

OF WHAT IS STOPPING YOU.

DISTINCTIONS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

A POWERFUL LIFE IS CREATED.
