100% Gratitude

When I was at a conference earlier this year, I heard a statement I knew would change my business.  I later realized it would change my entire life.

The statement?

Ninety-nine percent is hard – 100 percent is easy.  Or as Jack Canfield, the bestselling author of The Success Principles, puts it: “99 percent is a bitch.  100 percent is a breeze.”

Take a moment to let that settle into your mind.

We are turning the corner this weekend and heading into “The Holidays”.  Five weeks of friends, family, and fun!

It is supposed to be a joyful fun time of the year.

Yet it can become filled with anxiety and angst as we have too much too do and not enough time to get it accomplished.  Emotions get frayed and what should be a joyful occasion suddenly becomes a requirement and just like Elvis all the fun has left the building.

I want to challenge you to change your approach and go through the holidays with an attitude of gratitude.  Make it 100% of the time not just some of the time.

Believe it or not, of all the types of happiness and gratitude, that exist, the greatest is those derived from truly helping others.

Help yourself along the way by choosing approaches that fill yourself with good emotions.  Crank up the music and enjoy yourself.  Just be cautious as gratitude can be contagious.

Happy Thanksgiving

    Budgets SUCK

    Budgets SUCK!

    Yes, I think that budgets are the most ill-conceived idea of how to plan for your money on the personal level.

    Why? Very simply – Life Happens

    It is those fortunate or unfortunate turns in life that make budgets incredibly useless. I remember as a child my parents working to have a budget. The idea in the 1960’s called the Envelope System was to cash your paycheck and put the cash into different envelopes for each expense. It still exists today, and just like then it only works if and when you have the self-discipline to not reach into the other envelope and borrow from groceries to pay for entertainment.

    THE FINANCIAL OLYMPIAN™ CREED

    Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. Pause and take a moment, remember those men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us so that we can live and make the choices given to us by our freedom.

    The Army, National Guard, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy all have creeds. A creed is an oath or saying that provides a value structure by which to live or work by. Creeds then set the tone of life in each service. If you join one of these branches, you will need to learn its creed.

    These military creeds are learned in basic training. The creeds are learned and lived until the daily activity and actions of a United States soldier or cadet are ruled and governed by their creed. The discipline demonstrated by these women and men is worth learning for our life.

    How can you apply this?
