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

Less becomes more when we reduce the complexity around taking action to achieve or goals and building the habits that keep us going.

Before we can influence others to help us or conditions to work in our favor, we must first be able to influence ourselves to do what must be done to achieve the results we're after.

Common sense isn't always so common however, focusing on these three things every day will assure you and I that we are acting with common sense.

Overthinking gets in the way of us doing what we must do to have the things we've decided we must have... here's two questions to help us do less thinking and more doing.

How do we decide (how do you decide) when to go or when to stay in a career, a job, a relationship, a living situation?

Sitting across from ourselves (metaphorically speaking)and asking ourselves questions can provide us with answers we may not have otherwise discovered.

It's the questions we ask ourselves and the adjustments we make when we take the time to slow down that then allows us to speed up.

It's easy to make excuses when things don't go our way but the key to success is to make adjustments along the way, not excuses.

"They" say play by the rules, "they" say don't color outside the lines, "they" seem to want to dictate our every move... exactly who is "they"?

We have a better chance of achieving the goals, dreams, and aspirations we think of when we think of winning the lottery without actually winning the lottery but instead, focusing on these three steps.

We've all been given this exact same gift and it's this gift alone that's responsible for all the health, happiness, and fulfillment we create in our lives.

We may not want to hear this reminder, but it's this reminder we must hear if we're to take action towards the goals, dreams, and aspirations we have for ourselves.

In order to create our next big adventure, it's a must we stop looking backwards at all we've done and been through and look ahead towards all we will do and experience.

Achieving success comes down to us going the distance, committing to doing what we know we must do overtime without the expectation of immediate results.

When we define and forecast the future we want for ourselves, deciding on what the right choices are to make along the way becomes clearer.

We may "hear" what others are telling us (including ourselves), that doesn't mean we're always "listening"... there's a major difference.

Let's hold our heads high knowing we are never less than despite what we've been through or are going through.

What gets me excited, fired up, and motivated is most likely different than what gets you feeling that way, and that is perfectly fine.

We may achieve the smaller safe goals that we set for ourselves but it isn't those goals we want, it's the bigger audacious stretch goals we're after... let's set and chase those.

It's never the actual goal (fool's gold) that we're after when we set out to achieve it but more so, how we believe we'll feel after achieving it.
