Words to Live By

Plans are great but ineffective until you act upon them. Take action and discover your best possible self. I read a piece in Oprah Magazine by Dr. Phil McGraw that I believe is worth sharing. Check out Dr. Phil’s words to live by for 2014:

Everybody has a personal truth. It’s what you believe about yourself when nobody’s listening and nobody is watching.

A strong sense of SELF is the foundation of personal power. If you define yourself by what someone else thinks, you’ve already lost the battle. Assert the right to be who you want to be.

A successful reinvention doesn’t happen when you hate the person that you are. It happens when you love yourself enough to believe that you can do better and deserve better.

The universe rewards action. Successful people take action toward a known outcome. You can’t think about it. You have to do it – and you don’t do it for a week or a month. You do it until. Until you get what you want.

The major difference between a dream and a goal is a timeline for progress, coupled with accountability.

We generate the results in life we believe we deserve.

Happiness isn’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. You must define what it looks like for you and then make a conscious effort to access whatever gets you to your unique definition of joy.

If there isn’t something in your life that makes you wake up curious and excited to start the day, you will never be a powerful person. Passion is what fuels the jet engine propelling you toward a meaningful existence.

You’re going to live either the life chosen or the life assigned. I want you to live the life chosen.
