Inspiration: “Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.” Lawrence Block, Award Winning Mystery Writer
Be: (positive confession) I Am Serendipitous.
Do: (first steps) Today, instead of trying to change something about someone else (a friend or loved one) turn your focus on yourself and determine what it is that God wants you to change about you. After all you really have no control over the actions of another anyway; so avoid the frustration that approach is guaranteed to cause. Instead look at the habits you perceive as annoying as a way to develop a specific aspect of your character and a means to helping you improve your ability to lead people, beginning with self.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I challenge myself to adapt to the sandpaper-like influences in my life I will find that I make a series of unexpectedly desirable discoveries.
Be, Do, and Have a the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.” Ambrose Redmoon
Be: (positive confession) I Am Courageous. I am willing to take the risks that can make a better life for me and those around me.
Do: (first steps) Today, write down the 3 things you fear the most, how overcoming those fears will help to improve your life and make you as successful as you should be, and what you plan to do to face and overcome those fears. (ex. Public speaking, more confidence during presentations and more sales, speak to a small group of people about a topic I feel good about.)
Have: (making dreams reality) As I confront my fears head on they lose their grip on me and this frees me to have more of the things I desire.

Inspiration: “Desire is the key to motivation, but its determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.” Mario Andretti, Champion Race Car Driver
Be: (positive confession) I Am Relentless.
Do: (first steps) Today, doggedly pursue your dreams and realize they will not be dropped into your lap. Relentlessly encourage yourself verbally and thereby correct any self-image problems. When you get knocked down, get up again and again, like a hungry prize-fighter. Figure out what went wrong (look at the numbers, the key figures that relate to your goal) and go back to the battle better equipped having learned from your past failures. Each time you do you will steal a little more of your adversary’s thunder and prove you belong in the ring.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I remain persistent I will overcome the internal and external resistance I face and rise to the level of performance and achievement I wish to obtain.
Be, Do, and Have the Best Day of your Life! God Bless You!

Be: (positive confession) I Am a Designated Hitter (Part 3).
Do: (first steps) Today, follow a system that will improve the likely-hood of hitting the bulls-eye when it comes to your goals and aspirations. Here are the last two steps of a seven step process. Six, do as the lyrics to Jordin Sparks hit song declare and take it one step at a time. Big goals are reached by completing specific milestones through well defined and realistic steps. Lastly, establish consequences for NOT finishing a task on time or in an excellent fashion….you may be able to con a con; but you shouldn’t be able to con yourself. Find someone or something (I once signed an affidavit and had it notarized) to hold you accountable.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I commit to the process of goal hitting my success will be set in stone.
Be, Do, and Have the Best Day of your Life! God Bless You!

Be: (positive confession) I Am Climate Controlled.
Do: (first steps) Today, choose your words and the tone of your voice wisely.

Be: (positive confession) I Am a Plateau Buster.
Do: (first steps) Today, realize that there is not always a solid and steady progression to your goals. In fact, in most cases there is a sharp increase from initial efforts followed by a flat line or plateau. This is the reason so many people fail to reach there potential, they become disillusioned when their march forward is stalled or beset by challenges and give up before their efforts have the opportunity to compound. The way to combat this is by honing in on, and continuing to perform, the day to day protocols that lead to success in spite of slow or no forward motion.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I consistently keep my eye on the correct processes I will build a pressure cooker that will cause me to explode through barriers I that previously kept me down.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “For the diligent a week has seven days; for the slothful, seven tomorrows.” German Proverb
Be: (positive confession) I Am Diligent.
Do: (first steps) Today, perform one of the greatest pressure relieving secrets known to man. Stay on task and complete the day’s objectives.

It will also require you to carry out your duties in a manner that takes into account a prioritized order of importance, allowing you to complete the most crucial items first.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I remain attentive to the key activities of my livelihood and remove those that have the appearance of effort but lack the results thereof I will have more time and energy at my disposal to fulfill my goals and effectively reduce my stress level.
