We must learn to accept who were are and where we find ourselves. We can not be afforded the luxury of making even one excuse for failure. We must accept total responsibility. Because when we don’t, fear and doubt will start to creep in. Fear of what else can stop us. Doubt at whether or not we are able to succeed in this world.
However, when we accept total responsibility for who, what, where, and how; we become masters of our fate. We start to see solutions as our responsibility and therefore attainable. We are able to solve problems that seem to baffle and stump our peers. Our perception of reality takes on a brighter color and we become more positive of our situation, whatever it is.
Today, I will take total ownership of my life.

Most people spend their lives looking at the differences. They find reasons why they are unable to accomplish some of the successes of others. Maybe they are too old or too young. Maybe they were born poor or never had to struggle so they don’t know what it means to desire. From the outside, they look like excuses. The hard thing to face is for these people it is their perceived truth.
This perceived truth can keep us from realizing reality and what is possible. That is that we are all capable of great things. None of us has had an obstacle placed in front of us that hasn’t been overcome. As a matter of fact, successful people turn these obstacles around and make them an asset. This is the true skill that separates success from failure. The better question to ask, is if someone else can overcome these obstacles, why not us?
Today, I will look on my obstacles and ask how they can be considered an asset.

There’s two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down.
You got your talkers and you got your doers.
Most people are just talkers, all they got is talk.
But when all is said and done,
it’s the doers who change this world.
And when they do that; they change us.
And that’s why we never forget them.
So which one are you?
Do you just talk about it or do you stand up and do something about it?
Because believe you me,
all the rest of it is just coffeehouse bull.
-Taken from the movie Boondock Saints II: All Saint’s Day

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.

A good sentence doesn’t shoot off in multiple directions. A good sentence carries a clear message, a single message. When we look back on the lives of great men we see that they were all struck by a single goal. All of their lives were punctuated by one desire, one passion that totally consumed them. When we allow our lives to stand for a single purpose it takes on a more powerful stance.
We all have that one thing inside of us. We all have that thing that is screaming to get out. Unfortunately, we allow ourselves to get confused and turned around by things that are less important to us. Then we use those same obstacles as excuses as to why we don’t accomplish greater things. The interesting thing is that when we take the road to accomplishing those great things, we start to see these less important things for what they are.
Today, I will search through my life to see the things that may be less important in my life.

Find a man that has a dream. I mean a passionate, can’t see anything else but type of dream. Then, find a man who has no purpose. I mean the guy who doesn’t really seem too excited about anything in his life. Set these two men together side by side. What is the noticeable difference between the two men? The man with a dream, with the big plan, will be noticeably full of life.
Many people believe that you only get one chance on this planet. With that philosophy in mind, why waste a life staying small? Aiming high wakes a person up. It makes us part of something bigger than ourselves. Having a life filled with small plans makes life flavorless and lackluster in color. It is by reaching beyond our perceived means that we are tested. It is by testing ourselves that we become conscious of our abilities, thereby becoming conscious of our lives.
Today, I will ask myself, if I were to aim high, what would my big plan be?

We all know what it feels like to have someone tell us we can do something when we believe just the opposite. That feeling in the bottom of our gut that tells us that we need to argue for our limitations causes us to cement that limitation in our mind. It becomes that much harder to overcome. The question is, how do we overcome it?
Awareness of the difference between feeling and reality is a start in the type of consciousness needed to be in control of our lives. When we are able to be conscious of the tension between what we want to prove and where we want to be, we are closer to overcoming the obstacle that stands in front of us. The next step is to become comfortable in sitting in that tension and not reacting to it. Once we can do that, we develop a discipline that will carry us beyond our current belief in what is possible.
Today, I will become aware of the tension between what is and what I want to prove.

Many of us suffer from a belief that if we put off what needs done, the future will never happen. It is a strange paradox to think that we fear a future and cause our demise by hesitating to deal with what is in front of us. It becomes much like a self fulfilling prophecy. We become afraid of failing so we don’t try…then we fail. We create that which we fear by hesitating to deal with it.
When we face our possible future head on, both the light and the dark, we take responsibility for our life. When we deal with what is in front of us, the best we can, we become a true living being. By taking responsibility for our lives and our future, we step off the sidelines and become the captain of our team. Whether we succeed or we fail, we are more of a success than most of the world who lay dormant, afraid to move.
Today, I will do what I can to prepare for tomorrow

Most of us live up to our glass ceiling and no farther. Although we are capable of more, we have trained ourselves that we are only able to accomplish what we see. The strange paradox is that, by not striving for more we validate our inability. We strengthen our belief of our inadequacies by not striving to surpass them.
By seeking more of life, by demanding more of our lives, we break through the glass ceiling that has kept us from having more from life. By seeing just how big life can be, we start to see just how big we can be. By continually surrounding ourselves with others who seek to be more than they are, we start to see how we can become more. We start to climb through the hole we have created by smashing the ceiling.
Today, I will imagine how my life can be better. I will strive to move in that direction.

As humans, one of our blessings as well as one of our curses is a sense of time. We have an understanding of tomorrow. This means that we know that there will be another 24 hours that follows the one we just got out of. The curse in that for most of us is that, as we finish up our day, we pile stuff into tomorrow to do. It’s as if we are cleaning and we stick the stuff we decide not to do in a closet to go through tomorrow. The closet continually piles up with things unsaid or undone. The reality is that tomorrow never comes and it gets easier and easier to push stuff off that in all reality, will never get done.
What kind of a life would you live if you left nothing unsaid or undone? How would you sleep? How glorious would your life be? What would the world be like if everyone lived their life as though it could be their last day on Earth? When we take an honest look at the things both undone and unsaid, we see that those are the things that hold our life back. Those are the things that keep us from experiencing everything that life could be. It isn’t about how we didn’t get this or was kept from that. It is about opportunities not taken, and words not shared.
Today, I will live my life as though today were all that I had.
