We all make a choice. Most of us make this choice unconsciously. The choice is one of perspective. We see the world through a lens. This lens dictates everything about us. Who we become is first and foremost predicated on our perspective of reality. When we make the conscious choice to have the perspective we want, we take the first step in taking ownership of our lives.
What would your life be like if you were to take on the awareness that you couldn’t fail? How would you stand if you knew you couldn’t be pushed over? Who would you talk to and what would you say? To live as though success were possible is to build success into your equation. When you build success into your path, you can do nothing but succeed.
Today, I will walk as if.

Human beings make a very simple and far-reaching mistake – one that you must not make if you’re going to elevate performance. It’s really a filing error.
Imagine two filing cabinets, labeled “The Past” and “The Future.” From time to time stressful, difficult, or dangerous things happen. When they do, and we survive, we note what worked, taking a photograph of our actions and keeping it on file in case that situation happens again. So you’ll have it in the future, you put it in The Future cabinet.
After you’ve lived through enough of those incidents, the filing cabinet of The Future is full. The irony is that you no longer have a real future. You may find that you’re repeating the past, and you are. When something happens, you dip into The Future file and do what your record tells you to do. You do the same things over and over because you’ve put those files in your future.
So let’s get beyond the filing error.
-Zaffron and Logan The Three Laws Of Performance pg. 203
Today, I will live my life as though my future has yet to be written…

We make decisions everyday on what we should and shouldn’t act on. Many times the data that we use to make the decision is suspect, which is to say that we choose to accept it as reality when in fact that very well may not be the truth. This action in life creates the circumstances that we live in. Many of us then use that very same circumstances that very well may be based on incorrect assumptions to create more action that may have incomplete data as a basis.
To handle this ever widening separation from reality, many of us simply choose to go asleep. We do this because it becomes harder and harder to see the world without simply reacting on circumstances. Many of us are simply lemmings following flawed judgments. It is only by fighting our urge to sleep and being present with our current circumstances that we can start to make real action. We must start to attach our actions to where we want to go and not to where we have been. This will not only change our actions but our circumstances as well. Our judgments, based on where we want to go instead of where we think we have been will be better aligned to truly serve us.
Today, I will base my actions on where I want to go, not where I believe I am.

What most people don’t know is that we live out of patterns. These patterns can vary from minute to minute. We have control over these patterns albeit most of us do so unconsciously. It is interesting to watch a person fight for their limiting patterns. These patterns show up in a myriad of ways. Sometimes they show up in a desire to find problems in everything. These patterns filter our everyday existence. Therefore to live in this pattern, we need to unconsciously be searching for fault in our surroundings. Much like looking for Waldo in the children’s book, we zone out the very thing that we should be looking for, a solution.
When we live in a pattern that says every obstacle that presents itself carries with it the solution to overcome it; our life takes on a completely different pattern. It is as if every time we saw Waldo, he had his arm around the solution. It may sound over simplified and maybe it is. But, the reality is that our patterns do dictate what we focus on. If we have a negative pattern, we will always find enough to validate that pattern. There is plenty out there to use as an excuse.
We all know those that seem to always be focused on the silver lining. These people seem to never be bogged down by less positive experiences that happen to them. This is because they don’t choose to live in a pattern that allows that negativity to cultivate in their lives.
Today, I will live in a pattern that sees the remedy to any obstacle. I will be the champion of my life.

We have all heard the excuses. If we are completely honest, many of us have used most of them. It is always someone else’s fault. Too old, too young, no this…….too much of that. This society has become addicted to victimization. We are constantly looking for reasons why something did or didn’t happen. If someone does become successful, many people look for reasons that they were able to make it happen. “He was able to because of this….or because that wasn’t a factor.”
We dictate where our life goes. To say otherwise is to be like a ship at sea without a captain. A hurricane may take it out. Rough seas could run a ship a ground. But, without a captain, it is guaranteed. Without a captain, there is no way that a ship will ever make the port it is destined for.
See your life like a ship at sea. Start to dictate where it goes, taking into consideration the environment and the weather. Take ownership of both your failures and your accomplishments. Your life will be the better for it.
Today, I will own my life, all of it.

In life, if we are pushing our boundaries, we come to the edge of our abilities. That is living. It is only coming up to limitations that we believe exist and striving past them that we ever get beyond our limitations. It is only by growing past limitations that anything has ever progressed. Imagine what life would be like if nothing had ever gotten better than it was…we would still be in caves.
We all live within a certain amount of abilities at any certain time. When we are standing in our life, there are certain things that we are able to accomplish in that moment. Let’s call it a sphere of influence. The mistake is believing that those limitations are concrete or set in stone. A philosophy that says, “this is the best that is ever gonna be”, is destructive and dehabilitating. It is only by constantly striving to be more than what we are that we are able to truly know who we are.
Today, I will not accept the limitations of yesterday. Today, I will move into a wider sphere of influence.

It has become almost a cliché in this day and age to live a life both unfulfilled and without real merit. How many of us, on their death beds will be able to look back on our lives and say, “this was the reason I was here”? How many people spend their days silently and motionlessly crying for something greater in their lives?
When we look at our lives as though they were meant to be lived, we change the way that we live them. When we see that if there is something to be created it is up to us, we are able to do more. It is only by trying great things that we are able to say that we lived greatly. To do this, we must find that thing, that song, that is each one of us and let it out. When we do this, whether we succeed or we fail, we are able to say that we stepped up to the plate, and swung. We will never again have to risk the shame of never having swung at all.
Today, I will live big. I will not shrink away from my life.

As humans our experience is muddled by a mix of judgments and preconceived notions of what we are experiencing. Because of that we are always layers away from seeing and feeling the world for what it really is. The clearer we are able to see the world, the deeper we are freed to experience and feel the world for what it is.
There are many judgments and belief systems that that we use as wedges keeping us from knowing the world for what it is. As we strip those illusions away, the real world starts to present itself. At first, because the feelings associated with reality are always stronger, they can be difficult to deal with. This is because they are based on reality and not a manufactured reality. Therefore they are not manufactured feelings.
Today, as I get closer to seeing reality more clearly, I will be prepared for the feelings that come along with it.

Nothing in this world can
take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common
than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius
is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge

Many people look at their lives and miss the magic in them. Are you stuck in the trance caused by the sound of crying babies and honking horns? Are you missing the music that these sounds create? What would these sounds be like to a person that desired a child with all of their heart or had to walk to work every morning? It is our expectations and our viewpoint that continually rob us from the ability to see the beauty in life everyday.
It is a struggle at first to stay focused on the miracle of life. We tend to want to sink back down in the mud and get dirty. This doesn’t serve us or anyone around us. It is only by the constant struggle to stay conscious that we are truly allowed to see the world for what it is. It is only by thrusting our flag in the ground and shouting, “NO MORE,” That we are able to see the beauty all around us. When we force ourselves to see the beauty, and connection that is all around us, we begin a journey that is finally worth taking.
Today, I will begin the journey. I will work to see the wonder and beauty that is in the world.
