Are you listening to that small voice inside, or are you conforming to what the world believes you should be? Do you come up with excuses or results? Are you reading this as something to read, or are you looking for the seed of change within it’s message?
We all get signs, instructions and directions along the highways of life, are you using them? There is a course that has already been predestined for your life, are you following your plan? People try to dress up their exterior, join social clubs, abuse alcohol and drugs, all to avoid themselves. Are you one of them? We live in a world where people take on an identity instead of discovering their own identity!

People are wearing uniforms! Conforming, blending in, without any unique distinction. Your next door neighbors were to afraid to explore themselves, afraid to step out on faith, afraid to follow his/her directions, afraid to live… so they settled!!! Settled for what… one vacation a year with a 30 year fixed mortgage and bills until their number is called? That’s not life! No wonder there are so many diseases, and miserable people. The life as a conformist is unfulfillable!

Hoping their kids will do better. All to have the cycle repeated. Change starts with you! Stop trying to pass the baton without you running your leg first! Most parents live in the fairly tale world “Hopefully my kids won’t have to struggle the way I did”. Well it first starts with you, it’s what you live that is instilled in a child, not what you say! Don’t hope your child will do better, become your child’s greatest example. Live a life of confidence, take risk, speak up, live by faith, don’t socialize with the naysayers, take action, make goals for your kids to see, live by integrity, persist, persevere, strive, and grow. Encourage your child to pick his/her own clothes, by you removing your uniform.

Your uniform isn’t in the clothes, it’s in the mind!

Action: Discover your identity! YES! It takes a lot of energy and time, aren’t you worth it?

Personal development is needed! Whether you are eating better to live a healthier life, or you are reading a self help book to acquire a better quality of life. Whatever area you are focused on, it will take a daily commitment for an effective change.

Are you willing to sacrifice?

Lets say my desire is to become successful making $50,000 every month. I would have to find people who make $50,000 monthly and study what they do. See what habits they’ve developed and develop them also. I’ve always heard people say success leaves behind clues!

For example: Joe Girard was famous for selling more cars than anyone else in the World. Now if my goal is to become a great car salesman I would probably look up Joe Girard and one of his many books on selling. To be a great salesman I must first study selling and master the craft!

Which means:

I will turn off the T.V, instead read books on selling!

Instead of a great night of fun with the guys or girls, study the paperwork process for a car purchase.

Instead of long hours on the phone, look for ways to get new customers.etc

Your commitment to these daily disciplines will provide you with lasting success as a car salesman. Now take out the example of the car salesman and replace it with your desire and look for ways to develop into the person you want to become.

Best Wishes Post your comment and let me know your daily disciplines.
