Minimum Viable Actions
Motivating yourself to reach your goals is a never-ending process that kicks in several times a year. Most folks have a long list of new routines and actions they want to put into place. But, it may be too long.
Many years ago, I decided to control my mornings by establishing actions that I would take upon waking. Unfortunately, while I had great intentions, I found myself floundering and eventually losing focus.
Why?
I realized that the actions I was trying to establish had no real meaning other than checking them off my list. Instead of feeling motivated and inspired, I felt bogged down. So I decide to make things simple.
These days, I only establish minimum viable actions in my life. In other words, I only commit to the minimum number of behaviors that deliver the results I desire. Anything more is excessive, distracting, and frustrating.
Life is much simpler when you keep it simple. A wise person would spend time on the fewest number of actions that provide the most significant results.

Law of Attraction Made Simple
The Law of Attraction should be called the Law of What You Think About Most.
Like attracts like. What you think about, you get.
If you think, "I won't get it because I never do" - you are correct.
Dreaming of something new while focusing on current problems is a sure way to keep spinning your wheels.
The secret is to focus your attention and actions on what you want to attract. That will require a dedicated effort. Vision Boards, lists of goals, daily journaling are all great ways to stay on track.
The “Law of What You Think About” is magical and straightforward…
Decide what you want. Believe it is possible. Focus on the future, not the past. Don't stop until you get it.

Goals Always Drift With The Wind
Have you noticed that airplanes fly crooked?
Heading to their destination, winds attempt to blow them off course. That’s why pilots turn their aircraft into the wind. They call it Wind Correction.
The same thing happens when you set a Goal. While you would prefer the straight path, you will likely run into winds that will blow you off course.
Your spouse doesn’t agree with your plans. Your boss demands more hours. Your kids, friends, and responsibilities keep blowing you further away from your dreams.
It’s time to start thinking like a pilot.
Always set goals that factor in winds that will blow you off your course. Keep an eye on your final destination. Make small corrections until you get where you’re heading.

Reduce Your Stress By Reducing Your Stuff
Every day, we live in a world full of events, challenges, and people that cause us stress in our lives. Sometimes it may seem impossible to eliminate the cause, but that is what you can and should be doing.
Sometimes that takes time.
Your subconscious mind always listens and filters the world around you. That means that you are forming opinions. Thoughts are racing. Actions happening. Usually, without knowing why, you are feeling stressed to the max. When you finally recognize what is going on, it's time to take action.
I spoke with a client when she mentioned she was having challenges with one of her clients. He was stressing her out and had been doing it for years. She was working up the courage to have a conversation to work things out. Something that was stressing her out even more.
When she asked my advice, I said -
"How he is treating you is wrong. Anybody can see that. He's doing it on purpose or is unaware. It is still unacceptable and unsustainable. You need to bring it to his attention, reset expectations, and prepared to move on.
"Move on?” she said.
"Yes, move one, but you won't have to if he values your service. If he's unaware, he'll thank you for pointing it out and change his behavior. If it's purposeful behavior, he'll recognize those days have come to an end and will change his behavior."
"What happens if he doesn't want to change?
That's simple.
"He'll either quit, or you'll replace him with another client who values and respects what you can do for him. You can only win."
My client had that conversation and put everything on the table. They both decided to continue working together, and all is well.
If anything is stressing you, you can and should eliminate the source as soon as possible. Life is too short to be stress out.

Succeed or Do Not Succeed. Both Are Self-inflicted
How would you feel if somebody called you a liar?
When I started my first real business 20 years ago, I found myself stressed, working long hours, missing workouts, sleep, and family. I was determined to be a success - even if it killed me.
I'm not sure it would have done that, but I was a least on my way to wearing myself out since I was in my office at 2 AM on a Saturday, with a big bottle of wine.
Frankly, I was mad that day and was thinking bad things about myself. Feeling a little lost, as well, and a bladder full of wine, I stumbled to the restroom. That's when my reflection in the mirror stopped me in my tracks.
The man looking back was not the man I was on the inside. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he wasn't mad. He was sad. Success was proving harder than he thought it would be, and he was lying to himself about why.
No. I was lying to myself.
In a surreal moment, I realized that I was questioning my commitment.
How could I get up every day and say that I was committed and yet allow myself to self-sabotage?
How could I commit to taking on a difficult challenge and complain that it was difficult?
How could I ever get what I wanted if my commitment was a big lie I was telling myself.
Either I was committed to my goals, or I wasn't.
I looked into the eyes of the stranger in the mirror and saw a glimmer of my old self. I realized that everything I was doing was self-inflicted, and I was ready to stop blaming my challenges.
It was a moment of reckoning, and I could see my commitment returning as a sparkle emerged from my eyes, and relief appeared in my shoulders.
My inner Yoda also spoke to me -
"Succeed or do not succeed. Both are self-inflicted. There is no try. There is only commitment."
After that, I had a very good nights sleep.
