Welcome fall, the changing of the leaves and the slight chill in the air. Fall also brings football season in America. This is a great sport and we love watching it. Many of the players have a mentality that creates legends and shows greatness in motion. Many who watch the sport love it so much that they now play fantasy football to be as much a part of the teams each week as possible without actually playing on the field with them. Millions of others who choose a team hope and wish that their team becomes the ultimate winner at the seasons' end; The Superbowl Champions. So, what does that have to do with this months lesson? Everything. Life is much like the game of football, many want the championship ring, the money, the success and the fame that comes with that without putting in the work.

What are the things that you have done January through October of this year that will get you closer to your goals, dreams, and objectives for this years end?
List these things in your journal. If you follow this blog you should be using a journal. If you are new, you don't need a fancy book, a simple book with note pages from the dollar store or a marble composition book will do.
Today is mid-month of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2014. You should have completed some of the goals that you set from the first quarter January through March 2014. If you have not seen any results then as we always say, you need to revise your plan, it's not working. Your plan is what we call our goals list or your bucket list.
In the game of football they call this a playbook.
Always look back at the goals that you have achieved, and celebrate them. You had the discipline, character, and focus to get there and to get it done. Also look back and re-access what you are actually doing that is working, and what you are not doing that is working, but getting you results that you don't want. That is not a typo, you are doing (sometimes creating by default) everything that you are getting in your current life. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
There is plenty of time to achieve any and all of your desires for this lifetime. We recently achieved a goal that we set for this year and it was awesome, but shortly after found ourselves wondering is that it? We were grateful, yet we noticed that there is always something more that is wanted. No matter how great the achievement, we are wired to expand and continue to grow.
Stay focused this is the beginning of the last quarter of 2014 and you have the ball on the 3 yard line. Run it in.
To your success,
