Tony Robbins - My Truth Touchstone

When others provide me with feedback, regardless of whether it’s good or bad, I really struggle with not allowing my opinion to override what the individual is telling me.  Which, can ultimately lead to completely disregarding what they’ve said.  Sometimes I find that the other person is on target, and sometimes, I think my opinion makes more sense.  And, unfortunately, I usually decide what I will do or believe based off of what I think or feel. 
 
We all need to be careful of allowing our own opinions to become fact in our minds.  It’s those types of people that become completely out of touch with reality. 

 I’m not sure when I first discovered Tony Robbins, but he has truly become my truth touchstone.  He provides information on business success, relationships, and personal development.  I’ve listened to dozens upon dozens of his videos on YouTube, and also watched his NetFlix movie Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru.  If you listen with the intent to learn something, I think you’ll find that Mr. Robbins will force you to drop your excuses, take responsibility for what you’re doing, and challenge you to make an immediate change.  I can see how some find him to be a motivational speaker, but for me, I think he’s more like true best friend, who isn’t going to beat around the bush, but rather tell you the truth straight out.  Mr. Robbins keeps it real, honest, and straight and to the point.  There's really no room for interpretation.  He never attacks anyone, or puts anyone down.  He has this gift of not only reading people, but knowing exactly what they need to hear, when they need to hear it.  He’s truly an amazing person.  And, I love learning from him. 
 
Your entire life can truly change in an instant.

It doesn’t always feel that way.  We talk about “working on things” and how we’re “trying to be different.”  But, the truth is that we can make a conscious decision to do things differently.  Sometimes it’s more of struggle to stay focused and keep on the right track, but every day we can choose to be a better person than we were yesterday.  And, I so love that idea of choice.  Life isn’t just happening to us.  While we can’t always control things that are thrown in our path, we can control how we react to them.

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Don't Lose Focus

I realized lately that I’ve started to lose my drive and focus when it comes to personal growth and improvement.   I hit, what felt like a major milestone a couple weeks ago, and I think in a way I felt like I could take a break.   And, while a break is ok, my “breaks” tend to last too long, or I simply stop entirely.   I recognize that I need to keep going on my current path.   Because, if I stop now, it could set me back.   And, I’m so tired of being set back, and being left behind.   What are those things that you’ve been putting off?   What is something that is undone in your life?   Get on it girl!  Even if you don't finish the task, start it today !

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means.   Holiday preparations are now in full swing.   I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels.   There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of!   I have about 5 lists going right now.   It’s crazy.   What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving.   I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time.   But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
