Grit defined

I just started reading this book (it was recommended by a friend).

I like it so far!

I am not a Cross Fit athlete but the lessons discussed can help in all walks of life.

I like what he wrote about grit.

We all need grit to succeed no matter what it is we want to succeed at!

Grit defies comfort. In order to grow we need to stretch our boundaries. We need to call and get back up. We need to fuel our lives with grit.

Have a gritty Monday, friends!

“Results… Line please?”

screenwriting.jpg“Results speak for themselves.” 

How many times have you heard that?

It is uttered a lot, because it is very true.

However, it is only part of the story.

While it is true that the after picture is powerful when compared to the before.

The book is amazing when it is finished.

The recommendations due to the results people have achieved help drive others into our Chiropractic practice.

BUT….

The “whys” and the “hows” behind those results matter more.

The drive to improve, the will to win, the process to do both, those are the writers, the providers that give voice to the results.

When you want to lose weight, the why is what feeds the results.

When you want to write a book, the why is what puts pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).

When you want to travel the world, the why is what purchases the first plane ticket.

The purpose that leads to the results are the screenwriters. The results just recite the lines.

 

Happy screen-writing my friends!

Victory begins in the mind

You may not think you are fighting a battle today.

And you most likely are not (at least not in the literal sense).

But you are fighting.

You are fighting your old habits. You are fighting your negative thoughts. You are fighting the nay-sayers. You are fighting to become who you truly want to be.

The keys to winning these battles begin in the mind.

You achieve victory in your thoughts before you do so in reality.

Arm yourself with positive thinking. Train, by implementing good habits (start small). Achieve victory by fostering your vision.

Happy fighting!

Calm, confident, love, joy

Lead every interaction with these thoughts: calm (body), confident (mind) love (heart) joy (spirit)-Cesar Millan

This is a great podcast!

I like this episode where “The Dog Whisperer” discusses how important your energy is (not only with dogs but with humans too).

If we can pause and bring forth calmness, confidence, love and joy, it is amazing how those interactions will go.

I hope your day is filled with all the above!

Happy Tuesday

CRINGE but do it anyway

This morning, while captaining the carpool to middle school, a local DJ on one of my favorite radio stations (93.3 if you must know) dropped a great fact.

Matt Maeson, who sings the song “Cringe” (which was a #1 Billboard song this summer), started his music career playing at an open-mic night at a Chick-Fil-A.

Big leap from playing in front of people enjoying chicken sandwich combos to sold out ampitheater shows.

The point is…

Sometimes the work we need to do to push forward will make us cringe. (See what I did there?)

We are not in control of TIMING.

We are in control of POSITIONING.

Put in the work to do what we love to do.

When timing happens, big breakthroughs ocurr.

If they haven’t happened yet, don’t give youreslf an excuse to quit or to stop. Keep “grinding,” work hard, be inspired to do what you want to do because you WANT to do it, not for the results down-the-line.

Grind on my friends!
