Give Yourself Permission

Permission to Fail that is!

In order to make better decisions, we have to give ourselves
permission to fail. We have to make failure okay to experience.

I know that I'll make new mistakes in the future. But I don't
beat myself up when I make a bad decision. I forgive myself in
advance. I know that I can't predict every outcome, and I know
that I'm not perfectly aligned with the character qualities of
the man I wish to be. I accept that. It's okay. It's a good thing
really because it means I can continue learning and growing.

Failure isn't the end of the world. Every failure is a learning
experience. Failure is simply the underbelly of success.
If you don't risk failure again and again, you'll never enjoy
true success. Fake success is when you seek validation in your
titles, positions, and possessions. True success is when you can
gaze into a mirror and feel totally loved and accepted by the
conscious being looking back at you.

Self Starters-Decision Maker

Self starter is another way of
saying decision maker. We
won't ever get one thing done
without first making a decision
to do it.


If you are waiting around until you feel "right"
about doing a certain thing, it may never happen.
A self starter or decision maker know that there
is never a "right" time to get started.

Too many people sit around waiting to be motivated.
Decision makers or self starters act on their goals
and the motivation to achieve those goals come as
they take action.

No amount of concentration, or wishful thinking will
get you into action. It's true, things in motion tend to
stay in motion, and things at rest remains at rest. The
more you think about becoming motivated, the better
your chances are that you won't be. Act with a sense of
urgency.

Don't lose precious time waiting for it to be the
right time. Become a decision maker, become a
self starter.

To Your Success,

Rena

4 Step Process to Dealing with Change

The world is forever changing and change is a true measure of how
well developed we are as a person in different areas of life. How
well are you dealing with change? Here's a four step guide to help
keep you on track.

1. Accept that change is reality: Get clear with yourself by asking,
"What specifically am I worried about because of this change?"

2. Determine the worse case: Ask yourself, what is the worse thing
that can happen as a result of this change? Then decide whether you
will accept it.

3. Minimize the maximum: Ask the question, what are all the things I
can do to make sure that the worst doesn't happen?

4. Take Action: Take action to maximize your current situation. Ask
yourself, how can this change be a healthy and positive step toward
reaching my dreams and goals?

Most times when you look at change, you will find that it'll be
something good and beneficial for you. Change is a signal to you,
so how will you respond?

All the best,
