Consistency.001

“It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently.” ~ Anthony Robbins

Good or bad what you consistently do or think plays a big part in where you are today. Recognizing that I have to consistently eat the right food and perform the right exercises will would lead to a healthier life, moved me to be consistent about developing these habits.

Knowing that if I wanted to increase my income, I had to make more phone calls, knock on more doors as a sales representative in Corporate America. This resulted in my earning a 6-figure paycheck and awards for my efforts. Anthony Robbins statement above rings true in many situations.

Consistency helps to form our habits. Here is what I recommend:

1. Assess what you are doing that works well for you, keep doing it.

2. Recognize what isn’t working and drop that habit and/or thought.

3. Learn what the successful folks in your field are consistently doing to help them achieve their successes.

4. Determine whether this will work for you also. If it does go for it.

Sometimes you may break being consistent, don’t beat yourself up…just start again.

While developing consistency remember to stay true to yourself and your purpose. Use consistency to take you to the top of Living your Diamond Life…Your life of Purpose.

Looking out the window this morning, I saw large black clouds hovering over the landscape. They seemed pregnant with water waiting to burst raindrops upon us. At first, I was discouraged because I had my heart set on an early morning bike ride. This is part of my exercise regime to get my Diamond week off to a great start on Invincible Monday.

Then, I thought: “I’m not going to let some clouds ruin the pleasure of riding my bike and keeping healthy!” I grabbed my helmet and wheeled the bike outside. As I peddled the miles away, I felt the breeze mixed in with a few sprinkles. It was exhilarating. After a forty-minute ride, I headed home with a sense of accomplishment. The clouds didn’t pour out their content on me during the ride.

If I had allowed the first sight of the clouds to deter me from achieving one of my goals this morning, I wouldn’t experience that winning feeling I had from my ride. The lesson for today is to not let perceived obstacles keep you from reaching your goals. Forget the Clouds. Ride through, around or over them! Be determine to come out on the winning side!

Start your week off with an Inspirational Invincible Monday!

Start at the Top

My mom told me to “Start conserving at the top. Don’t wait until youI get to the bottom to start saving.” This is a lesson she learned from someone with whom she worked. He told her that many people start trying to save something when it is near the bottom: i.e. dish detergent, toothpaste, etc. I would also add time to this list.

These words of wisdom made a big impression on me at a young age. Whenever, I heed them, I am able to save money and time. Whenever I didn’t, I wasted both. Recently, I purchased a piece of wild-caught salmon. It was a nice cut. I didn’t immediately cook or freeze the salmon. I left it in the fridge, too busy (so I thought) to do so. A few days later it was bad. I had to throw it out. Thus, losing a great piece of salmon, money and the time I spent earning the income to purchase it.

This makes me think about the many times we maybe trying to do something right when it is too late or near the bottom. In a recent interview with CNNMoney, Carlos Slim, Forbes Magazine second richest man in the world, said that people should not wait until they are 65 years and older to start living their lives. Start living that life you always wanted today. Why wait until you get to the bottom? Save the Salmon and Save Yourself! Let’s all Start at the TOP!!!
