It has been a wonderful two months of 2010 so far. Activities I started engaging in have started to bring about results and that is exciting. Probably the thing I'm most excited about right now is the personal development activities I have been doing for the past few months. Team Beachbody has really encouraged us to make this a habit. It involves listening to 15 minutes of good audio from speakers like Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins and more. We are barraged with so many negative messages these days about how we aren't good enough or can't do something. It is great to hear someone say you can do it, and show you ways to get your priorities straight.
The other aspect has been to read 10 pages a day of a great book. I already read the BEST book and my guide book, the Bible, and it has been incredible to begin to read these other books. Books like "The Slight Edge" Jeff Olsen, "Failing Forward" and "Today Matters" John Maxwell, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" Dale Carnegie, "Goals!" Brian Tracy.
I love these books and audio that make you think and evaluate your life and realize how much time you spend in pursuit of activities that don't matter. Books and audio that show you it is ok to be bold and make mistakes because that is how you grow. These things that explain success in life isn't like winning the lottery or having some complicated formula. It is the simple things done daily, ie consistently that bring about success. It is eating good food, less calories than you need, and moving your body that produces a healthy weight and energy. It is reading 10 pages a day and listening to audio so you get inspired to take on more in life. It is about spending time each day developing a relationship with God. It is about taking time to spend with family.
Easy to do and easy not to do at the same time.
Maybe this will encourage someone today.
