Book Review: 'Own the Day, Own Your Life'

Book Review: 'Own the Day, Own Your Life'

There are going to be books that you come across in life where you feel compelled to share it with others. The kind of book that you know WILL help everyone for the better. This is one of those books. Aubrey Marcus, Founder, and CEO of Onnit, as well as New York Times Bestselling Author of Own the Day, Own Your Life is someone that you should pay attention to. He has an important message to share with the world, and as far as I am concerned, he is saying all the right things.

This post is all about giving credit where credit is due. Own the Day, Own Your Life is a book that can change the way we approach our life and the 24 hours we are given in a day. Not only does Aubrey offer you a realistic solution to an ongoing problem, but he sets it up in a way that is easy to follow, and worth doing one day at a time. This book is for you if you are ready for the change in your life that you deserve.

You Are a Result of Your Actions!

You Are a Result of Your Actions!

We all know the saying, ‘Actions speak louder than words!’ but how many of us are actually applying that into our everyday lives? I know I am guilty of having a great idea, talking about wanting to make it happen, but then allowing life to get in the way, and realizing a couple months later that I forgot all about my ‘great idea’. It is one of those things where, unfortunately, it is easier said than done. So, how can we go about changing that?

In this post, I talk about the importance of OUR ACTIONS and how the everyday choices, and routines we develop lead to the RESULT of who will become. When it comes to change, and pursuing the goals we want to achieve, eventually we have to stop talking about it and do the things that allow us to become it.

Instead of Calling It 'Change', Let's Call It 'Improvement'!

Instead of Calling It 'Change', Let's Call It 'Improvement'!

It’s Day 6 of the New Year, and if I had set any ‘resolutions’ I probably would have cheated on them already. If you read my post from last week, you already know how I feel about the pressure of ‘resolutions’ and the ‘change’ that most believe is required of them due to the changing of the year. But that is not what today's post is about.

In this post, I entertain the idea of us using a different way to describe ‘change’ since it usually gets a bad rep for being something that people never actually do. The word ‘change’ does not have to sound as scary as it may seem, because all we are really doing when we attempt to change, is improve something for the better. So, this year, maybe instead of calling it ‘change’, we should call it ‘improvement’, because isn’t that all we should be after anyways?

Thank you for reading. I appreciate you.

Plot Twist: You Do NOT Need to Have All the Answers!

Plot Twist: You Do NOT Need to Have All the Answers!

I know I am not alone in this feeling of needing to know who, what, when, where, & why. Who I want to be, what I want to do, when I need to achieve it by, where I am meant to end up, and why I am even doing it all in the first place. I am constantly feeling this overwhelming need to know the answers to these kinds of questions, and you know what I have learned? Having all the answers is not what life is about.

In this post, I not only talk about the uneasiness I often feel about not having all the answers, but I share what has helped me the most when figuring out this journey of mine. If anything, this post will be a good reminder that you are not alone in feeling like you must have it all mapped out perfectly. By the end of it, I hope to provide you with some peace of mind because guess what? You do NOT need to have all the answers!

Thank you for reading. I appreciate you.

Setting Boundaries Is Not Selfish; It's Survival!

Setting Boundaries Is Not Selfish; It's Survival!

One of the hardest challenges we must face in life is learning how to set boundaries within our relationships. What makes it so hard is the fact that we have grown so used to being a certain way, that it can feel like we are learning to walk again once we decide to put our foot down. Unfortunately, most people will never learn to set necessary boundaries, and I do not want you to fall into that category.
 
In this post, we will talk about recognizing when we need to take a step back and reevaluate some of the unhealthy boundaries we have in place currently. It is not selfish to value the relationship you have with yourself and to notice when you may be giving up too much of who you are. Creating boundaries is essential to your happiness, and it is a means of surviving this often, cruel world.

Success: How Do You Define It? Is It Defining You?

Success: How Do You Define It? Is It Defining You?

We all define success differently, but the question is, are YOU defining it correctly? More times than not, we feel pressure to make the most money, have the nicest things, and live, in what one could argue, an unattainable lifestyle. So, where do we draw the line? And at what point does success no longer mean happiness?

In this blog post, I will challenge you to define what success means to you, and I will offer you a new way to answer the question, "What do you do for a living?"

 

10 Reasons Why You Should Be Afraid of Your "Comfort Zone"

10 Reasons Why You Should Be Afraid of Your "Comfort Zone"

Are you afraid to challenge yourself because you don't know if taking the risk for what you want is worth it? Are you holding yourself back because things are going smoothly, and you are content with the way things are? 

Your comfort zone can be a scary place if you choose to remain there, and nothing changes if you aren't willing to get a bit uncomfortable and follow those dreams of yours. We must take chances, and risk certain things so we can learn what we are capable of. I have come up with 10 reasons why you should be afraid of your comfort zone, and why you should never settle for less than what you deserve. 

Why are we so afraid of our own potential?

Why are we so afraid of our own potential?

Are you holding yourself back from accomplishing your dreams? Are you stuck in a 'comfort zone' that you are trying to get out of? Are you worried that your own success will cause insecurities within other people? 

A lot of people are guilty of this; including myself. Why do we do this? We all have the potential to be something greater, so at what point do we follow our dreams, and at what point do we stop being so afraid?
