Live a Life that Counts

Tweet

"If you're not doing something with your life, then it doesn’t matter how long you live. If you're doing something with your life, then it doesn't matter how short your life may be. A life is not measured by years lived, but by its usefulness. If you are giving, loving, serving, helping, encouraging, and adding value to others, then you're living a life that counts!" ~John C. Maxwell 

Words To Live By

It's not how much you accomplish in life that really counts,

but how much you give to other.

It's not how high you build your dreams that makes a difference,

but how high your faith can climb.

It's not how many goals you reach,

but how many lives you touch.

It's not who you know that matters,

but who you are inside.

Believe in the impossible,

hold tight to the incredible,

and live each day to its fullest potential.

You can make a difference in your world.

~ Rebecca Barlow Jordan ~ 

What I am to be....by Mark Ford

"One today is worth two tomorrows; what I am to be, I am becoming." -Benjamin Franklin

Okay, it's the 4th of July holiday weekend. We're half-way through 2010. Take a look at the goals you set for yourself earlier this year. Is it time to recommit? Is it time to adjust? Is it time to celebrate what you've accomplished and maybe even step it up?

By evaluating what you've accomplished, and recommitting to what you'd like to accomplish, you can still write a new and exciting chapter in your life's story by December.

Go for it.

Make it a GREAT week! Make it a GREAT life!

"Celebrate even the small Successes" by Mark Ford

"Optimists are right. So are Pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be." - Harvey Mackay

Corner Goal:

Do you realize it's the middle of June already? How often this year have you taken some time to pause for a moment, look back and realize what you've accomplished? Don't let your goals simply become a check-off list. Take account of what you're getting done before quickly moving to the next goal. Take a little time to celebrate. That's right. Celebrate even the small successes. No matter much is left on your list, you have accomplished many things.

Here's a quick idea to implement the goal:

Plan a "celebration" dinner or summer barbecue with your family or some friends. Celebrate mid-year. Celebrate meeting half of your annual goals. Have everyone report their successes for the year - no matter how small or large.

Make it a GREAT week!

Wonderful Idea, Mark!  I am going to celebrate all that I have accomplished so far this year.  Then I'm going set new goals or 're-set' previous ones, for the second half of 2010; in another post soon!

Here is what I wanted to do and have already accomplished so far this year:

I wanted to start writing; I did.  I wanted to start a blog; I did.  I wanted to make some Great new blogging friends; I sure did & love you all very much!  I wanted to do things that I've never done before; step outside the box and do things that I fear!  I have or I am about to do soon!

In the next 2 weeks I am taking 7 days of vacation for personal growth and development.  I am attending a  Presentation and Certification course; a Creation of Assets seminar and a Motivational seminar'  All at my own time and expense; to improve my own personal and career skills along with boosting my self-esteem.  Three of my goals for this year.  I am very excited!  Not nervous at all right now.  I hope I stay this calm over the next 10 days! :-)

So what mid-year accomplishments are my 'Friends' going to Celebrate this month?  I want to Celebrate right along with you All!  So let's share, celebrate together and motivate each other through the second half of 2010!
HUGS,
Coreen
 

Goal Challenge for this Week

Goal Challenge from my friend, Mark Ford @ http://www.ffgroupconsulting.com/

"Learn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."
- Albert Einstein

Goals Focus:

The day you stop growing and learning is the day you put a lid on your potential. Some feel they've reached a point in their life or their career where they can't afford to make any mistakes. Teddy Roosevelt said, "He who makes no mistakes, makes no progress." Stay hungry for knowledge. Stay hungry for personal growth. The key is to learn from any mistakes you might make.

Your Challenge:

Challenges change us for the better. Challenges force us to stretch out of our comfort zone to learn something new or to muster up courage we never knew we possessed. This week...try something new. Make a new "challenge" part of your daily routine. Learn from it. Grow from it!

I borrow these from a good friend who emails them out on most Monday mornings. They are posted, as all of my postings, to be shared! :-)

I thought of what I am going to Challenge myself to do this week. I know someone whom I want to talk to about something very important regarding the direction I want to go in my life. I've been afraid at what the response maybe. However, if I do this it will bring me to another level in my self-confidence and self-esteem. No matter what the reaction is, it will not change my dreams or plans. Ignoring negative or critical comments is the first step in overcoming the fear of doing something completely new and exciting. :-)

Have a GREAT week!

This Week's Goal to turn Passions & Dreams into Reality

Another Great Share from my friend, Mark Ford @ www.ffgroupconsulting.com

?The one thing that separates winners from losers is that winners take action.?- Tony Robbins
This Week's Goal:

You can only turn your passions and dreams into reality by setting and reaching your goals. Decide what you want, what you're going to do to get it, write it down and start doing it! Don't take it lightly, live your life "on purpose."   
 Make it a GREAT week!

Happy Monday, Everyone!  Well, from previous post most of you know that I have decided what I want:  To Help People.  I'm taking classes and training to be able to reach more people and get my message across in the most professional and polished way (hopefully). :-)  I wrote down my goals and taped them up on my desk, car visor and refrigerator.  Here is my Specific Goal for the week:  To finish reading all the material I received from the trainings I registered for next month.  To really understand all of it, or find the understanding if I need to.

So how about my blogging friends:  What are your goals for the week and what are you going to do to reach them?  :-)
