Mornings With Mike: A Daily 5-minute Dose Of Motivation & Accountability To Help You Create The Life You Want

We spend so much time sometimes focused on where we want to go and all that's to come that we lose sight of where we currently are and all the good around us now.

If we do what we've always done, we'll get what we've always gotten and so if we are to create different results for ourselves, it is a must we take different action.

Whatever goals and successes we're after, life will put us through the ringer along way, giving us exactly what we need to succeed.

Success of all kinds can and will be found if decide to commit all of our time, energy, and effort on the basics, on keeping it simple.

Ever find yourself being one way (not yourself) with a certain group of people and then being another way (yourself) with another group?

Regardless of how many times we've struck out going for it, whatever our "it" may be, we're only ever out if and when we decide to be out.

Spoiling ourselves with a nice dinner, massage, or new outfit isn't just recommended, it's a must if we're to experience more health, happiness, and fulfillment in our lives.

We all procrastinate from time to time and that's perfectly fine, especially if we're able to make our procrastination time productive.. here's how.

Even those who often view as "tough guys" and "tough cookies" need, want, and crave love and support.

Creating the health, happiness, fulfillment, and success we seek in our lives begins with us playing "make believe", and here's why.

It isn't our circumstances or what happens to us that decides our happiness, it's our thoughts (how and what we think) that matters most.

Failures allow us to learn, adjust, and get better in order to successfully create more health, happiness, and fulfillment in our lives.

On this Thanksgiving day here in the US, I'm honored to recognize and give thanks to these 10 wonderful individuals who have positively impacted my life.

When we shy away from being our true authentic selves, not only do we shun our own happiness and success, but the happiness and success of others as well.

On our way to creating the health, happiness, and fulfillment we seek in our lives, doing what we don't necessarily want to do at times it a must if we are to be successful.

Real lasting happiness comes from the pursuit of happiness, not in the actual attainment of it which is short lived.

The secret of change is to focus all of our energy, not on fighting the old, but on creating the mental space in order to build the new.

Everyday is a new opportunity, a second chance, for us to do things differently, to live a healthy, happy, more fulfilling life.

We aren't titles (reps, managers, vice presidents, chief whatever officer)... we're leaders, every single one of us; let's own that.

Managing others expectations of us starts by us setting standards for ourselves and focusing strictly on that, nothing else.
