Quote of the day

Scott Schwab:

I need to apologize for the sabbatical that we have taken from the blog. We have been busy with other things, but are happy to get back into posting material for life and health.

Statistics show that as we approach March, most people are no longer working towards their New Year's Resolution. With that said lets focus on the aspect of growth and positive change.

Setting new goals will require a new way of thinking. Getting results in our lives, will require a new way of living. Finally, if we desire greatness, we must live great regardless of what is happening in life.

Here is a quote that I think we can all relate to and use for our present of performance and our future of greatness.


"With new Hope, we build new lives. Why complain when it rains? This is what it means to be free".

Quote of the day

Scott Schwab:
I can hardly believe it has been a week since we wrote. What a crazy week. With many things going on in life, I feel like the quote of the day will probably apply best to myself and my current situation. My hopes is that it will apply to some of you as well.

Many times in life; control is what we seek. Control of our emotions, control of the outcome, our schedule, etc. With all of our seeking, what are we finding? Most of the time, I find that the more I try to control an outcome, the further I get away from the objectives that I have.

However, I have found that what I spend the most time thinking about, and in what way I am thinking about that subject; I draw in the energy of my thoughts. Based on this finding, I decided that it is best to make a decision about how we will face the challenge, trial, or issue and not change that resolve.

It was based on this that I have decided to stop complaining and start living. There are many things that we will never be able to control no matter how hard we plan, think, and act. External factors effect everything, and we cannot account for the actions, thoughts, and words of others.

So with that, find a way to set the resolution of how you will act before your faced with the challenge to respond. Enjoy the quote below from someone who said it best.

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails".

Quote of the day

Scott Schwab:

With today being the Super Bowl, I wanted to find a quote that I believe the Super Bowl represents. I will not even mention the commercialization, the media agendas that are pushed, and some things that may be inappropriate. Unfortunately that is often entertainment and not reality.

However, it does celebrate teams and individuals that have worked hard and overcome adversities. It represents thousands of hours that have put into practice and the great people who work behind the scenes. The revenue alone generated during the Super Bowl and everything related; amounts to the GDP of entire countries. With all that aside, whether you are watching or not, It represents the best two teams in the NFL at this time competing. Are there better teams? Sure, but not better teams right here and right now. They have earned their spot and we can appreciate their efforts to get them to this game.

What then does this mean for the average sports fan or average person? To me this means that we all can look at our lives and work towards a goal of Super Bowl proportion. These athletes are the best in their chosen field. They are the best because they have put in the time and they have worked. Regardless of talent and abilities, it all means nothing when you step on a field and everyone else is competing at the same level and for your spot.

With that in mind lets apply this to life. Life is determined to do the same damage of beating us down and preventing us from success. Thank goodness that it is just mental. Challenges are obvious, greatness is optional! Choose to the best in your field. Choose to be the best spouse, the best partner, the best in your industry, the best in your field, the best parent, etc. You will choose greatness or you will choose mediocrity. Because what you think or what happens to you does not matter in the overall picture.

Choice does matter and it is the only thing that we truly control. We cannot control what other people think about us. We cannot control the conditions that exist in our world, but we can choose our response. Success is really about making small but lasting decisions consistently. The secret is consistency, because it is consistency that causes habit, and habit that determines character.

Have a great Super Bowl weekend and enjoy being great along with everyone who will be performing today.
