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

When we look for solutions and answers to help us achieve our goals, we'll find them.. however, if we decide instead to look for the problems and challenges, we'll find those as well.

We all have two lives we're living and depending on which of the two we focus on will determine the level of happiness and fulfillment we feel in our lives.

The things that fulfillment us the most and bring us the most happiness in life are often small things, such as these 5 things for me.

When's the last time we audited our mindsets in terms of what we think, why we think it, and where these thoughts (essentially our guiding principles) even came from?

What we sometimes refer to as "common sense", in other words, a no-brainer, doesn't always mean we're making it common practice.

The more we believe in our goals, dreams, and aspirations, the sooner we begin to see them appear, not the other way around.

If we help enough people get what they want, making a positive impact in their lives, we put ourselves in a position to have anything it is we want.

When it comes to success, any success, there's always a price to pay (we know this) however, it's focusing on the benefits, not price, that'll keep us going.

When we obsess over our goals, in a deliberate way not destructive way (there's a difference) and doing what we commit to doing, success is soon to follow.

An upcoming birthday got me thinking (in golf terms), I've already played my front 9 holes of life... how will I (how will you) play out the back 9?

When we raise our standards for what's acceptable and what's not in getting the work done to be successful, our tolerance for excuses drastically diminishes.

Practice may not always look perfect or make perfect for us, but it sure does help get us closer to the things we want most in life.

Asking the question, "What am I focused on?" when we find ourselves annoyed is the fastest way to get over the annoyance we're feeling.

It feels great creating and experiencing unforgettable experiences and the good news is, we can have these moments when we so choose.

When we're no longer able to change a situation and challenged to change ourselves instead is when change begins to happen.

We're able to remain happy and positive when we're going through tough times by being deliberate with what we choose to focus on.

It's not what happens.. what happens, happens to all of us, it's what we decide to do about it that determines the major part of our future.

Despite our differences (personally, professionally, financially, spiritually), we're all the same and crave these same three things.

When life beats us up and things just aren't going our way is when we learn the most, setting ourselves up for success.

Scheduling our priorities isn't enough to assure we'll get them done although adding this one extra step to the process will.
